prologue
Imaginations that everyone has thought about at least once in their lives.
‘Ah, it’s really a test question tomorrow. I wonder if I won’t fail.’
Or after grading a test you messed up like that.
‘under… . ‘I want to go back to the moment when I took the test with the same memories.’
From small imaginations like
‘I wish my ancestors would call me lottery numbers in my dreams…’
‘If we go back to the past, all money is all in for a 7-1 match against Germany and Brazil in the World Cup.’
‘Someone please tell me which stocks will hit the jackpot.’
Imagine becoming rich once
‘Military payment corruption must be treated as a crime of rebellion. ‘Is corruption a way of making a living?’
‘If the pro-Japanese descendants have any conscience left, donate their property to the descendants of independence activists!’
‘A law like this is passed? Ha, those guys got away with taking corporate money again.’
‘Please physically castrate s*xual assaulters.’
‘Please give harsher punishment to those who falsely accuse innocent people of s*xual assault. How can the law of presumption of innocence be sold…’
If I had indisputable evidence of criminals in my hands!!
You may have imagined serving justice at least once.
But it’s all just imagination.
Because humans cannot go back to the past, know the future, or see through the hidden truth.
But what if you could know all this information?
This story is about a man who can communicate with information.
Episode 1
Awaker (1)
Is it because I drank too much the day before? I suppressed my anger and went to work at the guild.
“Ugh. “I’m really dying.”
What on earth is this guy’s sales job like?
‘Do people who think they are super powerful get a fatal disease if they are not served alcohol?’
Jeongdo opened the door while grumbling.
“I went to work. Good morning… .”
“Yanma! Calm down too!”
As soon as he entered the office, he heard a loud voice calling for him and he sighed.
As I turned my head in the direction of the voice, I saw a large man.
A face that appears to be in the mid to late thirties. Even when looking at the clothes, the body looks like it is full of muscles. A man with a short, cool-looking hairstyle. There was a smile on his face.
“ha… . CEO. “What’s going on?”
“This brat has grown up a lot? “Are you going to sigh when the CEO calls you?”
The man called the CEO approached with a chuckle and put a headlock on Jeongdo Dajjagojja.
“Khaha! Good job, Jinjeongdo! I received a call from seeker Jeong this morning. He said he would trade the dungeon he found this time with us. “Your contribution was great.”
seeker
These are people who specialize in finding dungeons after the cataclysm. Because supply is so much more important than demand, networking with many seekers is essential to properly run a guild.
“evil! Okay, so let me solve this! I’m not sober yet so I’m dizzy… Whoop!”
“That’s why I told you to come to work two hours late today. Obasil is… .”
After breaking free from the headlock, Jung glared at the CEO, but he just laughed.
“anyway. I’m glad the deal went through. Have you set a date for the expedition?”
“A week later”
“It’s faster than you think?”
“Everyone is in great shape. You know how fierce the dungeon competition is. But why did you ask me one question? Even words can’t express it like sweet rain in a drought. Now, everyone, please give Team Leader Jin a round of applause for his hard work.”
There was a warm atmosphere in the office.
It’s a good guild.
There were people of various ages gathered, but most of them were cheerful and good-natured guild members.
And a trustworthy and leadership representative who leads the guild members.
Even when I thought about it, I wondered if there was another place like this. but,
“Yeah, it’s just a sales job.”
As mentioned earlier, most of the guild members were good people. Not ‘everything’.
The warm atmosphere cooled down immediately. The eyes of everyone in the office were focused on one person.
“Oh what are you looking at? Did I say something wrong? After all, fighting to the point of blood is our fighting spirit. “Sipal”
“hey! Jo Hak-rae! “Aren’t you careful what you say!”
In the end, the representative took action to stop him. However, Cho Hak-rae did not pay attention to the representative’s restraint.
“no. CEO. Speaking of which, if you work in sales, all you have to do is have a drink and brush your teeth. Why do you have to brush your teeth like that?”
“men and horses. Does the guild only focus on hunting? The administrative team has work to do as the administrative team does, and it all has to fit together organically for the guild to function well… ”
“Oh my gosh, I’m done being a brat. Yeah, that’s the one I’m going to kill. Mr. Jin-do, I feel sorry. It’s because I can’t learn. A eighteen.”
Jo Hak-rae said that and got up from the sofa he was lying on.
“hey! Jo Hak-rae! Where? “I’ll have an expedition briefing later.”
“I’m going to the training room to train! why? You said earlier that you had something else to do? “The preparation for the expedition will be done by the administrative team, who are good at what they do, and I will go and do the fighting, which I am good at.”
bang!
The door closed loudly and silence filled the office.
The CEO said to Jeong Do with an apologetic face.
“under… . That little bastard really is a bastard. Even if you didn’t have the skills, you’d be screwed right away. That’s about it. sorry.”

“There is no need for the CEO to apologize. It doesn’t happen for a day or two when Captain Cho does something like that. “I am immune.”
Jeongdo said with a bitter smile.
* * * * * *
The world has changed.
February 22, 2022. The world has faced a cataclysm.
A dungeon was created.
Mana users began to awaken.
The mana stones they retrieve from the dungeon have sparked a revolution as the perfect alternative energy.
Things that could only be seen in fantasy novels of the past happened exactly as they did. Thanks to this, some have argued that human imagination was the cause of the cataclysm, but the exact cause has not yet been revealed.
The measure of a country’s power was divided by how powerful its mana users were.
The world’s capital market moved according to the supply and demand of mana stones.
Naturally, countless people wanted to become mana users themselves.
It was the same to a certain degree.
Office within the guild.
Jeong Do and the CEO were talking alone.
“CEO? “Since we have successfully completed this transaction, you should give us the incentive you promised, right?”
“Oh crap. “When it’s just the two of us, feel free to call me hyung.”
“It is a public position until you receive money. CEO.”
The CEO said with a smile at the somewhat joking tone.
“haha. Anyway, I guess money is the devil. “It’s okay.”
The CEO threw an envelope from his arms to Jeong Do.
“Oh my brother. thank you Let’s see, 0 is one, two… . Wow, you really gave me 10 million won?”
“men and horses. When have you seen me talk nonsense with money? If you said you would give me 10 million won, I would give it to you. The boy… .”
“Well, I feel like I’ve seen a lot, but let’s skip it for today. “Because it feels amazing.”
It’s been 3 years since I joined this guild.
In the meantime, I have met many seekers, done business with them, and been rejected, but there have been quite a few successful deals. He has even received incentives worth more than 10 million won for big wins.
However, the 10 million won he received just now was the most thrilling money of his life.
The representative asked the delighted Jeongdo.
“You collected everything as of today, right? “Awaker costs 300 million won.”
“and. Brother, what kind of stalker are you? “Why are you even knowing the balance of your subordinate’s bank account?”
“Do you think everyone else knows besides me? “I should have taken a picture of a guy in his 30s getting drunk at a dinner party and screaming to the neighbors, ‘I too will become a mana user in a little while!’”
“… … .”
Did you? It didn’t remain in my memory at all. But I wondered what it was like.
“Is that dark history a problem now that I am a mana user? “I could do it 10 more times.”
“… “Don’t do it because you will sue the guild for defamation.”
Awaker
It turns an ordinary person into a mana user and at the same time, the person’s natural aptitude. It is a magic tool that measures the so-called talent factor.
Of course, it is possible to awaken as a mana user without the help of an awakener. Because all the first mana users were awakened that way.
However, such a method necessarily involves arduous training, either physically or mentally. And there is no guarantee that you will awaken.
Therefore, mana users who were awakened in this way were called ‘Realize’ out of respect.
But Awaker.
Awakening success rate 100%
Except for usage costs, users do not need any preparation or effort.
There are also no side effects.
Some martial artists in the East criticize awakening through awakening as fake and seem to believe that only awakening through training is real, but the common belief is that there is no significant difference between the two awakenings.
Truly a perfect device.
Moreover, the process was very simple.
Just enter the device, and after a while, the awakening will be completed and the awakened person’s information will be displayed on the monitor.
It’s been 5 years since Awaker was developed.
Nowadays, almost all mana users awaken as awakeners.
Jeongdo also plans to use Awaker.
“No matter how much prices have risen compared to before, isn’t 300 million a bit too much?”
“I can’t help it. Awaker is a monster that eats mana stones… “Well, that includes a lot of taxes.”
Jeong Do himself would not have been able to even dream if it had not been for the money he saved before the cataclysm.
Because Awaker itself was such an innovative invention, there were strict restrictions on its use. There were only 99 of them in the world, and the usage fees were outrageous. Moreover, if there was a debt of even 100 won through a credit check, it could not be used.
Many dirt spoons jumped into Awaker after making up 300 million won in loans or debt, thinking it was the last lottery in their lives. And it was a measure that came about because the social problem of people jumping into the water of the Han River with unsatisfactory results arose.
“So when are you going?”
“The expedition date has been set, so there won’t be any work for a while. I want to go right now… how is it?”
There were two Awakers that existed in Korea. They were located in Seoul and Busan, respectively.
Since the guild is located in Suwon, it takes less than an hour to get to Awaker.
The birth of a new mana user.
It’s a big event within the guild. Of course, it was obvious that not only the CEO but most of the guild members would follow suit.
“good. Gather the kids right away. I thought it would never come, but this day has come. You know that Seoyoon kept delaying her awakening because of you, right? These days, she said, “Is there a child in the world who is put off by not being able to awaken before Sasu?” “Be nice to Seoyoon.”
“I’ve known her for over 10 years. You’re already doing so well that you can’t do any better. “His parents almost think of me as family.”
Seo-yoon Yoon.
A cataclysm occurred eight years ago, and Jeong-do and Seo-yoon had known each other since before then.
Before the cataclysm, I was a professional gamer. Although he was not a player with top-level skills in the league, he was a top-tier player who was consistently active in the first team. I met Seo-yoon for the first time at Jeong-do’s fan meeting.
At the time, Jeong-do was 22 years old and Seo-yoon Yoon was 12 years old.
I thought it was cute that the little boy chased after me, calling me oppa oppa, so I treated him kindly. I thought that when I hit puberty, I would find a boy I like and stop fanning me, but guess what? That obnoxious kid has been his fan for 10 years. Even though he retired due to the collapse of the gaming market after the cataclysm.
“under… . Seoyoon, what on earth is it that you treat this guy so well?”
“older brother. As I said before, I did well in my old days… .”
“bastard. It’s a shame that a guy who didn’t even get an MVP during his active career is doing well. Isn’t Seo-yoon like that? Is it Hongdae disease? “It’s like an indie disease.”
“Why are you making an innocent child sick?”
While grumbling, Jeongdo thought of Seoyoon.
After retiring from the gaming world, I wanted to do something related to mana users, so I got a job in sales at a guild. She kept it a secret from Seoyoon, but she didn’t know how she knew. She got a job at her guild right after graduating from high school. Also, as her sales assistant.
While Jeong Do risked his life to promote himself and barely succeeded in getting hired, her employment was confirmed within one minute of the interview.
reason?
It was simple. Because she had truly overwhelming beauty.
It is already a guild legend that all the interviewers froze at that time and the big, bulky representative declared that he had passed the exam without even being able to ask a single question.
Although she was limited to male seekers, her performance was excellent. In addition to being the youngest member of the guild, she has a quirky personality and pretty looks. She was by far the best idol in the guild and the male guild members were jealous of her.
‘Or, beyond envy, you may even receive hatred.’
Jo Hak-rae.
The reason he started arguing was because of Seo-yoon.
‘Why is it my fault that things are so bad? It’s because I’m not good at it.’
As soon as I remembered his unlucky face, my good mood seemed to drop drastically, so I quickly urged the CEO and left for Seoul.
* * * * * *
Jeong Do and the guild members arrived at the headquarters of the ‘Korea Employers Association’ located in Seoul.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been here. “I think it’s been more than a year.”
All guild members, led by the representative who said so, went inside.
The inside of the headquarters building was very spacious and simple.
A huge mechanical device and a monitor large enough to keep up with the machine. The user’s information appears on the monitor. Jeong Do and the guild members went through the registration process and toured the inside of the building.
“Oh look, I think one person just finished.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the monitor at the words of one guild member.
<Tiring!>
Name: Choi Jae-won
Mana reserves: 11
Number of Talents: 4
Representative Talent: <Boundary>
“There are 4 talents… “It’s too little.”
“<Boundary> is a talent that is difficult to use alone. “I wonder if there is anything among the remaining three that can be used as assistance.”
“I also have little mana.”
“It would be difficult to use it as a combat team.”
“Whack, boom, boom.”
A cruel evaluation followed.
Not everyone who awakened as a mana user could be active in the dungeon.
This is why Awaker was compared to a lottery. If you have a lot of talent and can use them in battle, you win, otherwise you lose. It is usually difficult for mana users who have drawn a slam to be active in a battle group because they are only at a slightly better level than the average person.
“Please come in next, Seo-yoon Yoon.”
The host called Seoyoon.
“Oppa, I’ll do it first. “I waited for you to receive it together, so will you understand this?”
A woman with long, straight hair that reached her waist smiled prettily and spoke to Jeong Do.
“hey. “The guild tells you to call me team leader.”
“What do you think? “I’m not in the guild right now, I’m outside.”
“But there are other people too… .”
It was then.
“Mr. Seo-yoon!”
Suddenly, Jo Hak-rae cut me off.
“Seo-yoon will definitely be a huge hit. It feels exactly like that. As you know, I was the guy who worked on the front lines, so he felt that kind of aura. “There is no doubt about it.”
“… thank you.”
Seo-yoon answered coldly with a blank expression, but Hak-rae did not give in.
After making a fuss as if she would never give Jeong-do a chance to talk, Seoyoon ended up just giving Jeong-do a quick look and went into the Awaker room.
“Wow Mr. “I’m going crazy, I’m really nervous.”
“Are you going to be judged? “Why are you being so rude?”
“Hey, you heartless bastard. “Our Seo-yoon has just entered the house, and doesn’t she look nervous?”
The guild members swallowed dry saliva and watched the results. The results appeared on the monitor shortly after.
<Tiring!>
Name: Seo-yoon Yoon
Mana reserves: 27
Number of Talents: 11
Representative Talent: <Saint>
“… … .”
The hall was engulfed in silence. However, it was the calm before the storm, and soon an explosive reaction erupted.
“crazy! What is that!”
“11 talents?! The highest record in Korea is 13!”
“Wow, the starting mana is 27 again. “There are many cases where even a three-year veteran doesn’t make it to 30.”
Such a reaction was not limited to just those in the guild. The scout’s phone, which was always on standby at the association, began to ring.
“CEO. A special rookie has appeared!”
“The number of talents is also numerous, but the representative talent is <Saint>! She is the same talent as France’s ‘Messiah’!”
“It is no exaggeration to say that he will be a top prospect within the next year or even three years. “We must definitely recruit this to our guild!”
“I already belong to a guild, but… This is not the time to criticize manners or bad manners! You absolutely have to bring it! “He’s the next Arch Priest!”
It was truly a crucible of chaos.
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
When the Awaker opened and Seoyoon appeared with a puzzled expression, people rushed in like a swarm of bees, and Jeong Do and the guild members devoted all their strength to stopping those people.
“Hey. He belongs to our guild. What are you doing without any morals? If word gets out that something like this is happening on this floor, it will be a huge blow. “Why do people who are in the know act like this?”
When the CEO stepped forward and raised the floor, people began to hesitate and retreat.
“Now that I think about it, that person is Choi Cheol-yoon, the CEO of the Justice Guild.”
“Hmm… “It wasn’t a new guild.”
People in the building continued to look at Seo-yoon with regretful eyes, but they did not dare to approach her.
Jeong-do spoke to Seo-yoon.
“Congratulations. “I hit the jackpot.”
“Huh… . “It doesn’t feel real yet.”
“It really exploded like never before. You will be receiving a lot of attention from now on, so you need to adapt quickly… ”
“Mr. Seo-yoon!”
A man comes in after cutting me off.
This time too, it was Jo Hak-rae.
“Look! As I said, it will be a huge hit. Our Seo-yoon has a pretty face, and her abilities are also outstanding, so I wonder who will take her in the future… .”
‘Should I hit him?’
Isn’t it too much to cut him off so bluntly twice?
I seriously thought about it to some extent, but soon gave up the idea. This was because it was obvious that even if he hit her, she wouldn’t get even a scratch. Although Jo Hak-rae had a mediocre personality, his fighting ability was recognized as the strongest in the guild.
“You bastards. Calm down. There is still one more member left in our guild. “You can celebrate afterwards.”
Only after Choi Cheol-yoon called attention, the guild members’ attention turned to Jeong-do, and the host called him out.
“Mr. Jeong-do, please come in.”
brother. My brother will rise better than me. I can feel it.
If it were anyone else, it would have sounded like a sarcastic remark, but since it was Seoyoon, it must have been sincere.
“is it so. okay. Team Leader Jin will also be very aware of this. No problem. “He is good at his job.”
‘It’s clear that Jo Hak-rae is being sarcastic.’
Jeongdo swallowed his frustration and stood in front of the Awaker and took a deep breath.
“Whoa… .”
Right now at this moment.
I was convinced that it was the biggest turning point in my life.
Jeongdo went into Our Acre while feeling the sound of his heart pounding.
