Baek So-rin -1-

Baek So-rin

The wall came down.

It will break after a few hits with a pickaxe and leave a black hole.

It’s big enough for two people to fit shoulder to shoulder.

A dark aura blew in with the cool wind.

Baek So-rin shivered.

“Oh, it really happened.”

“I told you so.”

Let’s take a look at Baek So-rin.

The weapons were light.

A full body armor and a long sword.

His head was covered with a military helmet and goggles.

It was obvious that it was worn, as if it had been bought used, but I didn’t point it out.

For Baek So-rin, who was only a low-level employee at the super tower, this was obviously the best option.

Less noise.

As I put my golf bag on my shoulder, Baek So-rin glances at me.

“You always carry that with you, teacher.”

“It’s ubiquitous.”

My golf bag contains a rifle, a shotgun, and even a grenade launcher.

Several different types of grenades are included.

I also packed various other consumables.

To be honest, it’s over-armed here.

Even thinking about the boss waiting at the lowest level.

But could it be said that it was a trauma from being surprised by a pack of deer?

I felt at ease when I carried it with me wherever I went.

I took it with me when I went to Seo Woojin’s house.

“Those goggles, can you see at night?”

“Yes, of course. The teacher told me to buy one that has night vision.”

“Good job. And next time you have free time, buy something that comes with a gas mask and ear protectors. You don’t really need them when fighting monsters, but you definitely need them when fighting people.”

“person······”

“The scariest thing is people. People are more dangerous than monsters.”

“If I become a superhuman, I’ll have to fight people too, right?”

“That’s obvious.”

He put his helmet on and stepped forward.

Baek So-rin follows closely.

The holy sword clanked on his belt, but he pulled out his magic gun.

Finally got in.

The air seemed to have changed, and an ominous feeling seeped into my lungs.

A pungent smell irritates the tip of the nose.

A bitter and sticky taste felt throughout the tongue.

It’s the magic of death.

The magic that could only be found in a cemetery was lurking throughout the entire forbidden area.

“Teacher? Why is there a forbidden station in the middle of the city? Didn’t the city construction company destroy the original forbidden station?”

“It’s hidden.”

“why?”

“It’s no different from Galaxy Mall developing this place. It wasn’t even included in the city plan. They need to clean it up, but it’s a waste of money.”

“No, you just covered it up for that reason?”

“How much does it cost to purify the forbidden area?”

“Well······About a billion?”

“ha ha ha.”

I just laughed at the ridiculous economic concepts.

“It costs at least hundreds of billions.”

“Huh? No way!”

“That’s why I asked. It would only be in the hundreds of billions for people to think of asking for secrets, right?”

What I do is seal.

It costs less money.

This is a problem because if you do it wrong, you could end up buried here.

I cast a sharp gaze toward the other side of the darkness.

[bright eyes]

Because I equipped a trait that I didn’t normally use, I was able to see clearly ahead with the added performance of goggles.

That’s what it looks like to me.

Ssssssssut.

A being walking slowly as if it were sweeping the floor.

Baek So-rin looked back at me with a puzzled expression.

“Why are you like that?”

“Look ahead.”

“Huh? Oh······ Mom!”

Baek So-rin jumped.

Now, I have finally confirmed the existence in the darkness.

Still, since it was an SSR-level character, the reaction was different from that of ordinary people.

Instead of screaming and running away or hiding behind me, I confidently draw my sword and bite my lower lip.

Even though I never taught you anything, you still get into a fighting stance.

The action of holding the sword with both hands and aiming it was quite clean.

“Zombie? It’s a zombie, right?”

A being that has completely entered our field of vision.

The whole body rots and the flesh is torn apart.

Somewhere between the skeleton and the corpse.

A monster that was neither a zombie nor a skeleton was walking towards us, creaking and creaking.

All he held in his hand was a rusty hammer.

“Catch that guy.”

“Yes? Me?”

“I told you. You need to experience the real thing.”

When I was at Seo Woojin’s house, I had a lot of conversations with Baek Sorin.

Especially about growth direction and growth method.

Although Baek So-rin was anxious, she seemed to have gained trust in me as she watched me treat the students.

Instead, I definitely paid attention.

“Sorin. Do you know my style?”

“I know.”

“I’m Spartan. You’re destined to have a hard time becoming a superhuman, even if you’re not as good as the ones who got the fever. Zombies aren’t even level 1. You’ll die if you get shot in the head. You should be able to take down one zombie by yourself.”

Baek So-rin swallows hard.

In a dark cave.

The strangely rising magic of death.

A disgusting corpse advancing.

Looks like he’s under a lot of pressure.

He spat on his palm and rubbed it, then gripped his sword tightly and spoke resolutely.

“I can do it. I’m not a superhuman, but I worked out hard and studied swordsmanship hard. I can catch zombies.”

That’s how it should be.

“Yaaaah!”

Baek So-rin ran out shouting.

A fairly well-defined posture.

The zombie slowly swings its hammer, but it doesn’t work.

Baek So-rin quickly pulled away and then lightly stabbed.

Phew!

The sword is stuck in the head.

But that’s it.

It didn’t penetrate the skull so it got stuck in the middle.

Baek So-rin made a puzzled expression.

“Huh? Huh?”

Movies and reality are different.

I lack strength and have no practical experience.

Baek So-rin was showing the results from there with her whole body.

Boohoo!

“Ahh!”

While I was panicking, the zombie hit me with a hammer.

He somehow managed to escape, but his left shoulder was hit directly.

Broken shoulder joint.

Baek So-rin screaming.

He looked back at me, asking for help, but I just crossed my arms and nodded.

It’s just a level 1 zombie.

If you can’t win on your own, you shouldn’t even dream of becoming a superhuman.

Even if it is SSR grade.

Of course, a character proven in the game wouldn’t collapse from a crisis of this magnitude.

“Eeeeek!”

It was as expected.

As I stood there calmly, Baek So-rin gritted her teeth and gathered strength.

Ignore the pain radiating from your shoulder.

I turned my body, added rotational force, somehow managed to retrieve the sword, and then brought it down with all my might.

This time, the attack really worked.

The zombie’s right arm was cut off and the hammer fell to the ground.

Baek So-rin dances with the sound of a drum being jangled as background music.

A dance that is bloody, brutal, and full of evil, while slashing at your opponents.

It didn’t take long.

The zombie was left sprawled on the ground with its head and body severed.

Next to him, Baek So-rin also falls.

With his arms wrapped around his shoulders, he dropped his sword.

“it hurts······”

“How was your first real match?”

“You are too much······”

“That’s why you shouldn’t have let your guard down. You could have defeated a zombie without getting a single scratch.”

“I didn’t know bones were that strong.”

“The hardest part of the human body is the skull. It’s hard to break through it, even for a superhuman. It might be okay with an axe, a mace, or a club, but when fighting with a sword, the standard is to cut the neck. It would be better to disarm them first, like you did.”

He laid Baek So-rin down and touched her shoulder.

Every time Baek So-rin’s hand touches her, her body twitches.

Looks like it’s in a lot of pain.

Still, to become a superhuman, you have to get used to this much.

Mulberry.

I took a bottle out of my golf bag and opened the cap.

After adjusting the bones appropriately, take off the protective clothing and fill it up.

A red liquid reminiscent of blood.

The bones fit together on their own with a crunch.

The damaged muscles and bruises that had been swollen also healed.

“Teacher? What is this?”

“It’s a healing potion.”

“Was the healing potion this great? The potions I’ve seen before weren’t like this.”

“Because it’s low-grade. The types of potions vary greatly depending on the grade.”

“Uh······ A low-grade potion? Then isn’t it expensive?”

“It’s a little expensive. It costs about ten million won.”

“Eek!”

Baek So-rin seems genuinely surprised.

His eyes grew wide and his mouth fell open.

“You, isn’t that too expensive?”

“Even if you’re only a level 3 superhuman, 10 million won isn’t that much. If I had received it in money this time, I would have received tens of billions.”

“Well, still. My annual salary was 20 million······”

“A bit salty? Wouldn’t it be a good job if you were a super top?”

“I received more than my friends, but it’s nothing compared to Superman.”

So that’s why everyone is talking about superhuman, superhuman.

I heard that 20 million won is a lot of money······

It’s a huge difference considering I made billions by sweeping away the janitor’s association.

“You can pay me back later when you become a superhuman. Don’t feel burdened and fight. But don’t expect me to help you directly.”

“Yes. I will definitely do it.”

Emergency treatment is over.

Baek So-rin turned her arms around widely and made an awkward expression.

Since it is not a high-level healing potion, it is bound to leave a sense of incongruity.

But that doesn’t mean you can joke about it.

We kept moving forward.

“Grrrr!”

“That extreme!”

The second thing we encountered were two zombies.

He was holding a thick ratchet wrench and an electric drill.

Both are unsuitable items for use as weapons.

That’s why Baek So-rin defeated the zombies so smoothly.

He first struck the hand to disarm him, then swung his sword with all his might to cut off his neck.

I clapped my hands lightly.

“Well done. You’re really good.”

“Whew! Did you do well?”

“No matter how much flesh has rotted away, it’s not easy to cut off a head. Even I can’t do that with my pure sword skills.”

“Yes? You too, teacher?”

“I never properly learned swordsmanship. My strength is supernatural powers, not swordsmanship.”

“ah······”

Take a break.

Baek So-rin wipes away the sweat and makes a suspicious expression.

“But it’s strange.”

“what?”

“These zombies here… are strange. They don’t seem to be naturally occurring zombies. They’re wearing overalls and they’re carrying construction tools….”

Baek So-rin rummaged through one of the zombies.

I see someone taking off the helmet on his head.

[Safety First] A safety helmet with four letters engraved on it.

His pupils shook as if he finally realized the situation.

“Seo, sir? These people. By any chance······”

“Yeah. You’re right. The Galaxy Mall CEO buried it. He was trying to save money.”

“You buried him alive?”

“Probably. They killed him and buried him in the lowest level of the forbidden zone. That grudge combined with the forbidden zone and he was resurrected as an undead, and the forbidden zone continued to expand from within.”

“That’s ridiculous… President Kim really did that? He was a good person….”

“Just because he’s a good father doesn’t mean he’s a good person.”

“too bad······”

Baek So-rin makes a miserable expression and turns her face away.

“Really, really, I didn’t know. Did you know, teacher?”

“Okay. Is that only the Galaxy Mall representative? Everyone there was a murderer and a criminal.”

“That can’t be······”

“You know, right? You must have seen it all in your life.”

“I didn’t know it was this bad. I thought it was just an urban legend······”

“This is what it means to be a superhuman. As you approach the glitzy city center, you inevitably find yourself in its shadows. You have to be prepared, not just physically, but mentally as well.”

Now that I think about it, it’s a bit like that.

Did I sound too old-fashioned?

Fortunately, Baek So-rin seems to be taking my advice seriously.

“I’ll keep that in mind, teacher.”

“Let’s keep going. Just do as we are doing now.”

“Yes, sir.”

The difficulty increases as you go down.

About halfway down, zombies with mutated bodies started appearing.

Also known as reinforced zombies.

Those who move faster and are stronger than humans.

Most of the weapons were electric and useless, but sometimes someone would come out with a hammer or iron bars, putting Baek So-rin on the defensive.

“profit!”

“asleep!”

“Get out! Get out!”

“You f*cking dogs!”

But Baek So-rin was Baek So-rin.

He was growing rapidly despite only having fought a few battles.

It becomes sharper and sharper and cuts the neck.

‘As expected, it’s the Thousand-Year-Old Castle.’

So I start to worry more.

The Thousand-Sal-Seong trait is something Baek So-Rin was born with, but the other three traits had to be acquired here during Episode 2, the zombie outbreak.

‘How do I get indomitable?’

In my case, I just need to create a combination of six characteristics.

There are six: pollution resistance, drug resistance, poison resistance, curse resistance, disease resistance, and purification.

Otherwise, you have to clear a very difficult special quest······

If you take Baek So-rin there, she’ll most likely die.

Even in Arcane Seoul, pouring in paid items was the standard strategy.

‘There must be a way.’

Even in the midst of hardship, I continued to move forward.

Kill, kill, and kill again.

Baek So-rin’s eyes are slowly becoming bloodshot.

It’s good that you can grow quickly with the 1000% battle experience of the Thousand-Slayer Castle, but the side effects are starting to show.

That’s why perseverance is necessary.

A trait that provides strong resistance to all status abnormalities.

Without that, Baek So-rin wouldn’t be Baek So-rin.

Even if you can become SR Cheon Sal Sung, you can’t go up to SSR.

“evil!”

Did you pass halfway through the forbidden area?

Baek So-rin, who had been fighting well, suddenly screamed.

He looks at Baek So-rin in surprise.

Baek So-rin just stretched out her sword and killed a zombie.

Long, stretched-out legs like a deer.

At the end of it, there was a zombie hanging.

A zombie with only the torso and head remaining, with both arms and legs cut off.

The bastard bit Baek So-rin.

A position that the armor suit unfortunately cannot protect.

All I’m wearing is a pair of worn-out sneakers.

The heel.
