Baek So-rin -2-
Phew!
Baek So-rin swung her sword with all her might.
Correct posture, strong momentum.
Unlike the first time, it splits the skull in one go.
A zombie with its head down and its head splitting open.
However, Baek So-rin’s face, with her goggles flipped over, was extremely pale.
“Seo, teacher······ What should I do?”
Common sense that applies in both the original world and this world.
If you get bitten by a zombie, you become a zombie.
I made a motion with both hands down.
“Calm down and sit down.”
“How can I calm down! I was bitten by a zombie!”
Baek So-rin screams.
A thousand year old’s worth of emotional changes.
I sat on the floor first and tapped the side.
“I told you to sit down and not lose your temper. If you get angry, your blood will flow faster and you will turn into a zombie faster.”
“eww······”
Baek So-rin was stamping her feet and barely managed to calm down.
But both eyes are still bloodshot.
He sat down next to me, scratched the floor a few times, and asked me with red eyes.
“There is a way, isn’t there, sir? If you were me, you wouldn’t have brought me here without any reason.”
That’s true, actually.
Not only did I prepare healing potions, I also brought plenty of holy water.
Because the Holy Spirit has the power to defeat all evil and mutations.
but······
Instead of handing over the holy water, I looked at Baek So-rin with sunken eyes.
“Why, why are you doing that?”
Baek So-rin asks in a tone that makes her feel uneasy.
I realized that I had reacted a little too harshly, even to myself.
Yeah. I guess it would be good to just touch on this here.
“Sorin.”
“yes?”
“Why do you think I took you as my disciple?”
“uh······”
Baek So-rin looks a little unsure.
“I don’t know, but I think you see my talent in your eyes?”
“That’s right. I told you, right? You’re going to rewrite the history of the superhuman world. Of all the people I’ve seen, you have the greatest talent. The only one who’s similar is Seo Woo-jin, but no matter how famous they are as geniuses or gifted, none of the others are as talented as you.”
“No way. I appreciate your words, but if that were true, wouldn’t I have already awakened as a superhuman?”
“Well, that’s a different talent from that of an ordinary genius.”
After a moment’s pause, he said:
With power in his voice.
“Sorin, listen carefully.”
“yes.”
“You are a thousand-year-old.”
Thousand-year-old star!
Baek So-rin’s mouth opens.
My body starts shaking.
“Me, me, am I a thousand-year-old?”
“that’s right.”
“No! You’re mistaken, sir! There’s no way I’m such an evil murderer! I’m not a psychopath!”
It seems like the perception of the Thousand-Year-Old Star is not very good in this world.
It was an extremely strong tier 1 trait in the game.
You can’t gain experience outside of combat, but having 1000% combat experience is a bonus.
You’ll go into a frenzy at the start of the battle, but so what.
If you support it with other auxiliary characteristics or mental defense items, the control will be good.
“Just because someone is born with a thousand lives doesn’t mean they are necessarily a psychopath, and they don’t necessarily become a murderer.”
I explained calmly.
“What matters is whether or not you can overcome it. If you can, you become a proper warrior. If you can’t, you become a berserker and end up a murderer like you said.”
“But in the drama······”
“Do you want to believe the drama or do you want to believe me?”
Baek So-rin bites her lower lip.
He looked at me and glanced at my helmet, shield, boots, and axe.
It seems to recall the awakening ceremony I had seen just three days ago.
Soon he nodded his head slowly.
“I trust you, teacher.”
“I thought about it carefully. First, take off your shoes.”
I took off my sneakers and checked the protective suit by removing only the legs.

Black veins were sticking out like spider webs.
And what’s more, it’s expanding in real time.
The area that was bitten directly has already turned black and is on the verge of necrosis.
“teacher······”
I think it would be better to reassure them here.
He took two vials out from deep inside his golf bag.
The liquid containing starlight shimmers brightly.
Seongsu.
It was the lowest level, but it was more than enough for zombies.
Baek So-rin reached out her hand impatiently, but then suddenly stopped.
“Teacher? What should I do with this?”
It’s a reasonable inference.
If you were just going to treat him, you should have given him holy water first. You wouldn’t have mentioned the Thousand-Sal Castle.
I placed two bottles of holy water in front of Baek So-rin.
“To overcome the Thousand-Year-Old Spirit, you must awaken the relevant abilities. You know that, right?”
“yes.”
“I thought about it and this is the best plan. Getting bitten by a zombie and almost turning into a zombie.”
“uh······”
“If you read biographies of great people, you’ll see them. They’re people who awaken just before they die and overcome a crisis.”
Baek So-rin is crying.
“It’s not a biography, it’s a story that appears in novels······”
Is that so?
I didn’t know because I’ve never seen a book in this world.
But men live off of confidence.
I just stopped talking.
“You could easily be the main character in a novel. You’re a thousand-year-old, you know.”
“The Thousand-Year-Old Spirit is not a good thing······”
“If you use it well, it becomes good. The same water becomes poison when a snake drinks it, and milk when a cow drinks it. Trust me. If you thought I couldn’t do it, would you have bought holy water at such a high price? Each of these costs 5 million won.”
“5. 5 million won?”
“Yeah. I’ve already burned 20 million won on you. Your annual salary has already been blown away today? If it didn’t seem possible, would you spend 20 million won even if you had a lot of money?”
Baek So-rin has a frightened expression.
Anyway, when it comes to items related to superhumans, the units are different.
Baek So-rin tightly shuts her eyes.
“I’ll try.”
“I thought about it carefully.”
“Well, if it seems dangerous, you have to help me! I don’t want to die as a zombie!”
“I promise. But hold out as long as you can and drink just before you really suffocate. Got it?”
“yes yes!”
Baek So-rin held a bottle of holy water in her arms.
Close your eyes tightly.
He even took off his protective suit because he felt suffocated.
Lightly worn short-sleeved T-shirt and dolphin pants.
Black veins were racing across the white skin.
“Sorin. I keep remembering your name in my head.”
“What’s your name?”
“Yes. I heard that when you become a zombie, you forget your own name and existence at the end. If you can’t remember your name, that’s a sign that you’re about to become a zombie. Then you can drink holy water.”
“all right.”
Time passed.
Almost two hours or more.
Now black veins covered Baek So-rin’s entire body.
The heel that had been bitten by the zombie had rotted away and fallen off.
“Baek So-rin, Baek So-rin, Baek So-rin······”
Baek So-rin was reciting her own name out loud.
As expected, he lasted for a long time because he was a warrior-type superhuman.
But even for SSR characters, there comes an end.
Suddenly, he threw his head back.
“Ugh!”
Baek So-rin opens her eyes with a groan.
“Stomach, back, stomach, baby, uh uh, euuuu······”
Instead of a human voice, a beastly cry bursts out from his mouth.
You must drink holy water now.
If we were even a second late, something irreversible could happen.
I reached out to Baek So-rin without thinking.
I thought it was because I had already lost my mind, but unexpectedly, Baek So-rin let out a loud scream.
“I am Baek So-rin!”
Eyes filled with clear reason, not madness.
The body is in a limiting situation.
But my spirit held on.
Already halfway into the realm of the superhuman, he casts a cold and indifferent gaze all around.
It was one minute later that Baek So-rin drank the holy water.
It has withstood the magic of death that has invaded the brain through the nervous system.
Swaaaah.
The clear light washed over Baek So-rin.
Although there were some wounds here and there, he recovered normally.
A healing potion was applied to the damaged area using gauze.
Then you will quickly recover and everything will return to normal.
“Great. You did much better than I expected.”
“I really thought I was going to die.”
“Don’t you feel any special changes?”
“Well, that’s fine······”
Not yet, by my calculations.
I don’t know about Kim Jeon Sa who has a blank body, but it’s quite difficult for other characters to acquire even one trait.
I guess I’ll have to repeat this a few more times.
Almost 10 times.
“Let’s keep going. Ah. It would be better to just take off the armor. Fight like that.”
“Huh? Are you kidding?”
“There are so many healing potions and holy waters, what are you worried about? And it’s more effective if you bite it while injured.”
Baek So-rin opens her mouth.
He pointed at the clothes he was wearing with his finger as if he was speechless.
The top is a short-sleeved T-shirt that exposes the navel.
The bottoms are dolphin pants that are refreshing to the eyes.
The sneakers are also tattered on one side because they were bitten by zombies.
I said it sincerely.
“Training is more effective when done in extreme situations. You know that the Thousand-Sal-Seong becomes stronger when he gets injured, right?”
“I know that, but isn’t that too much?”
“Do you think I trained comfortably? I lost my life several times to become stronger. Do you think I pushed the kids who were sick like that for no reason?”
“Haa······ This is totally Spartan.”
“You can give up if you don’t like it, you know? If you give up here, you won’t have achieved anything and will just end up in debt.”
At the very least, you should get paid for the potion and the holy water.
Baek So-rin closed her eyes tightly.
“I’ll do it. I was bitten by a zombie, and if I give up here, it’ll be too unfair and I won’t be able to live.”
“I thought about it carefully. Since I’m going to try, I might as well see it through to the end.”
“Okay, I got it.”
Baek So-rin has become strangely prickly, perhaps due to the manifestation of her Thousand-Year-Old Spirit.
They even put Baek So-rin in the forefront.
The fashion of wearing only a helmet and goggles with cool clothes was quite strange.
Baek So-rin felt a little nervous as she groped her way through the darkness.
“Ahh!”
And so the first battle was fought.
He became quite passive after taking off his uniform.
I got hit several times by zombies because I couldn’t attack boldly.
If that thing in my hand was a hammer, I would be in big trouble.
I was able to hold on only because I was holding on to a rusty piece of rebar.
“Don’t kill me, just bite me once.”
“Oh, really.”
Even though he has a sad face, he follows along obediently.
I got bitten by a zombie on purpose and then cut off its head.
And rest.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a good rest.
Two more zombies appeared, perhaps because they heard the battle noise.
Baek So-rin stood up, making a noise.
“This is too much. Seriously.”
“They get bitten once in a while too.”
“Huh? Don’t joke around. I’m already feeling dizzy.”
“I’m not joking. I’m telling you, we have to go into extreme situations.”
“Why are you doing this to me······”
Baek So-rin grumbled but followed my instructions.
I got hit by a zombie, scratched by its claws, and even bitten once.
Only then did he move his body quickly and hit the neck.
Anyway, a thousand-year-old star is a thousand-year-old star.
It’s only the second battle I fought without any armor, and I feel so used to it.
“I am Baek So-rin, I am Baek So-rin······”
Zombie transformation is progressing rapidly.
After a few minutes, my whole body was turning black.
The confrontation between Baek So-rin and him was also fierce.
After enduring the black foam flowing from my mouth, I drank the holy water and returned to normal.
“Whoa! Am I alive?”
“Just a few more times and it will be fine.”
“Ugh······ Do I have to do it again?”
“It’s almost done.”
It’s true.
The moment when holy water washes over the body.
I felt the surrounding magical power slowly flowing towards Baek So-rin.
The creation of a magic circuit.
The unique abilities of the Thousand-Sal Castle were wriggling in the face of a crisis.
I just need to do it one more time, thick and short······
“Oh, right.”
“What is it?”
“Follow me while I heal you.”
Chae-Ang!
He drew his sword.
The holy sword shines as if it is happy to see you.
Baek So-rin looked up in ecstasy as the sacred light filled the darkness.
I went down first.
“Ugh!”
“Crunch!”
zombi?
I just cut it with one stroke.
There was no need to cut off the neck or pierce the head like Baek So-rin did.
He wrapped himself in black flames and slashed with a sword, splitting the zombie in two in an instant, and the black flames that rose from the wound burned the zombie.
“Wow, you are truly different, teacher.”
“This much is easy. Other superhumans can do this much.”
“Can I also?”
“Just awaken and find a suitable weapon, that’s enough.”
It keeps going down.
It was almost identical, if not exactly the same, as implemented in the game.
So the place we arrived at was a large cave.
A gloomy place where you can tell there’s a boss monster at first glance.
And a large figure standing in the center.
His muscles are so bulging that he looks like a gorilla.
Should I call it a mutated zombie rather than a reinforced zombie?
Baek So-rin’s face turned pale.
“Sir? Are you telling me to fight that all by myself?”
“Yes. It’s a perfect level 1 mutant. If you get hit once, your intestines will rupture, so avoid it. And its bodily fluids are zombie poison… Just eat them. That way, you’ll mutate faster.”
“This is really too much. Did you get scammed by me in your past life?”
“Think as you wish and fight well. I will not help you die, but it is up to you whether you get hit or not.”
“Ugh, really······”
Baek So-rin stepped forward, grabbing her sword.
Of course, it goes without saying that they were no match for me.
It’s level 1.
A real level 1 zombie.
A powerful enemy with excellent abilities and decent characteristics, not just a level 1 pattern.
The boss on the first floor of the shopping mall and the gatekeeper on the second floor.
Baek So-rin was too busy dodging to attack properly.
Turup!
“ah!”
Even if you’re lucky enough to hit the attack, it won’t go in properly.
Of course, I ended up getting hit and bounced off without any warning.
“Ahh!”
Blood suddenly gushes out of his mouth.
A mutant zombie that charges forward with arrogance.
Right, right, and right again.
His left arm was broken and his ribs were fractured, causing him to wheeze as if his lung had been punctured.
It is commendable that he did not let go of his sword even in that situation.
Eventually, he was trampled on and his leg was crushed, leaving him crawling on the floor.
“Eeeeek!”
Now is the moment to slowly intervene.
Baek So-rin performed a miracle.
A mutant zombie that opens its mouth wide and pounces on you, ready to eat you.
The sword thrust at the moment of life or death pierced the soft palate and struck the brain.
The mutant zombies are just destroyed.
“Ugh!”
Even though she was crushed by a heavy body and covered in blood, Baek So-rin didn’t scream even once.
He just groaned and spat out black blood-mixed saliva.
“Good job! Good job!”
I also clapped my hands wholeheartedly.
A terrible fear that one might die.
The weight of a corpse that was directly crushed.
Pain that feels like termites are biting me here and there.
Rapidly progressing zombification due to extreme poisoning.
All of these stressful situations forced Baek So-rin to do only one thing.
awakening.
The magical power danced and rushed in, and through the [Detection] in my goggles, I could see the magical circuits sprouting in Baek So-rin’s spine and heart.
If left alone, it will develop strange traits based on the magic of death.
Chewy, chewy, chewy.
Holy water was poured on Baek So-rin’s head.
As many as three bottles.
It was the lowest level of holy water, but it was enough.
He didn’t stop there, he also gave her a low-level healing potion and sprinkled it generously on her wounds.
Light returns to Baek So-rin’s eyes, which had seemed to have lost their minds for a moment.
It absorbs magic power, but it does not absorb it indiscriminately. Instead, it absorbs it in one go.
There were also changes to the magic circuit.
It changed from a vicious, slimy, rotten mud-like texture to a hard, firm, volcanic impression holding hot lava.
I felt it.
The meaning contained in the changed circuit.
[Indomitable].
SSR Baek So-rin’s first steps.
There are more runaway trains and near-misses to come, but the basics are there.
‘Okay.’
Instead of clenching his fist, he flinched.
This subtle sense of incongruity······
I see Baek So-rin.
The two characteristics of Thousand-Year-Old and Indomitable come to mind like fragments of words.
In addition, it is possible to know in detail where and how the injury occurred.
The clothes you are wearing and the condition of the sword you are holding.
This is not detection.
The ability to see through opponents with powerful inspiration.
A trait that is evaluated as Tier 1, especially in PVP, and cannot be compared to Detection.
It was an insight.
