The Jin residence, located on a hill, looked like a village.
On the vast land, dozens of small buildings scattered and surrounding the building were tall stone walls, with the emblem of the Jin Sect.
Not only that, but the shadow of the Jin residence was also spectacular.
Nature surrounds the family top.
Just looking at it makes me feel overwhelmed.
“Wow.”
Even the driver was impressed. No, wait.
“Did you not come here often?”
This is my second time.
“... When do you start working again?”
“It's not even more than a month.”
This is the first time I've seen someone who's like an onion.1
He looked like a 20-year veteran but to think he was a rookie.
‘But once again, if he has a lot of experience, there is no way he will not recognize me.’
I am the face that is often seen in and out of brothels. It is understandable if he thinks I am Jin Mukyung if he is a new employee.
“Lucky everything went well.”
I completed the search for the last tutorial and on top of that, I feel grateful it happened right in front of the Jin residence.
“Please drive slowly.”
“Ah Yes.”
I felt the train slow down and opened the window of my skill.
[Qi Sense]
Stage : None ( ⁇ )
Stage : ★
Tagged: Jin Taekyung
Effect: You can feel your opponent below level 30
Description: You can feel your opponent if they are within your reach. As your stage increases, your reach increases.
After I finished reading the description, I thought of something.
‘What it is. Feel the power level of your opponent. ‘
In the famous manhwa, the device uses character2 to sense the level of their opponent's strength but I'm not sure what [Qi Sense] looks like.
‘Enable Qi Sense.’
Is this true? When I stopped, under my feet, a blue circle appeared. At the same time, the alarm went off.
The rings.
You've been using [Qi Sense]. Since the current stage is 1 star, you will be able to sense an opponent that is less than level 30, within 10 zhang3 .
If it was 10 zhang, then it would be 30 meters.
Swaaq. A blue circle widened below me and I could feel someone getting into range. Above the driver's head, a window appeared.
Through [Qi Taste], you can feel the power level of the opponent.
[Lv. 4 Jang Sam]4
Ah ha, so it's like this.
‘That's easy, simple, and above all else..’.
It was a skill I needed to survive. To see if someone is stronger, or weaker or on the same level as me. I will be able to feel it with Qi Sense.
“They gave me something decent.”
I nodded my head up and down and opened the search window. And after confirming [Main Quest], my mouth opened.
“... What?”
It seems like everything in front of me is getting bright. Compared to the beam of light in the gutter, this is the sun. My heart started to beat.
[Exit]
You must now leave the rough world of Murim.
Become stronger and gain more fame.
Until that day…
Rank :
Main Quest Restrictions: Jin Taekyung
Mission: Achieve [First Level] (Incomplete)
Grab Lv. 30 (Incomplete)
Get 500 Fame (Incomplete)
Gift: [Out]
Words I really want.
‘Out!’
I was happy and surprised. Although I was determined to survive no matter what, I felt a hint of anxiety.
Can I go? What if I get stuck here? That kind of anxiety.
‘I can go.’
But now it's different. I got confirmation that I could get out. It felt like I just woke up for the first time.
‘Fuck yes. It's just a game. ‘
A quest? What's so hard about that.
I live day by day struggling to make ends meet. The ordinary life of a citizen cannot be compared to the life of a hunter.
‘And this power.’
I made a fist. Although this was all just virtual reality, the power I felt felt felt was real.
That's why I know.
I'm in the game stronger than I am in fact.
That's a small difference.
“That's all because of the system.”
Level up, quests, stats, and skills. These are all the power of the system. That's probably because it's a game and I'm the player.
It was only a matter of time before I logged out if I combined my experience as a hunter and the power of the system.
“All people died when I came out.”
Including the game developers. That scoundrel. The sound of someone's scream reached my ears.
“Stop!”
–
A uniform. Upright posture and a firm voice.
The thought that flashed when I saw the guard in front of the game was the word ‘Murim-in’5 .
“Prestigious family.”
Totally different. If Jang Sam and his bandits were disorganized, then the guard could be described as someone receiving formal training.
NPCs walk towards the driver. He had a young face with large, thick eyebrows like a caterpillar.
“I am the gatekeeper captain for the main Jin Sect, Hyuk Mujin. Please reveal your identity and purpose. ”
The gate guard captain. Now that I noticed, I saw the armband on his arm. Despite looking at him, he looked like he was only about twenty years old.
‘But once again, if your skills are great than who cares.’
As I thought about this, the driver replied.
“We came from Hong Hwaru6. ”
“Hong Hwaru? You mean the brothel? ”
“Iya.”
Outside the window I could see the NPC, there was no Hyuk Mujin wrinkling his face. I heard his respectful tone of voice cut in half.
“What business does a brothel have?”
“Ah, the.”.
Wherever you go, there are always people like that. Someone who thinks he's a chaebol7, just because he works at a big company. But there's actually a real chaebol. I quietly opened the window and coughed.
“Coughs. Hm. Humming.”
In many ways, it is a deliberate false cough. This type of fake cough can only be done by someone who is successful in life. As if to say, ‘do you not know who I am?’ – such fake cough.
“Mmmh.”
Sure enough, Hyuk Mujin instantly recognized me. I opened my mouth, showing a calm expression on my face.
It was a sentence that high-ranking officials, military officers and company workers used.
“Mmmh. Good. Working hard.”
Tuk. Kuk dul.
“Hah?”
It won't close. It was because of the hand that instantly gripped the window after it closed.
That hand of course belonged to Hyuk Mujin. I saw his face stiffening.
“Please down.”
“Uh, me?”
“Then will I speak to the air?”
What's this. What's wrong with this guy's reaction.
“He doesn't recognize me.”
I smiled, generously.
“You do not recognize me, I am a person who lives in this residence.”
“I am also a person who lives in this residence.”
“No, what I want to say..”.
“Third master of the Jin Sect. Is that what you want to say? ”
“…”
He's absolutely right. Hyuk Mujin spoke.
“I know exactly who the master is, so please get out of the carriage. We will continue according to procedure. ”
There is no other way. He said it was procedure. But as I got off the carriage, a warning bell rang in my head.
‘Something feels weird.’
My face started to sting8 as Hyuk Mujin took out a brush and paper.
“Your name.”
“…”
“I will ask again. Your name.”
What was this. Not that I'm the criminal and he's the investigator.
Even though it feels bad, I decided to keep an eye on the situation for now.
“... Jin Taekyung.”
Your Affiliate.
“Jin Sect from Taiyuan.”
“Your life and martial arts.”
“Twenty. Second Level. ”
Hyuk Mujin's brush stopped.
“Do not exaggerate and please answer honestly.”
Honestly speaking?
‘I share my stats and move up to Second Level. If I say it like this, will he understand? ‘
Instead of answering, I just looked at him and Hyuk Mujin shook his head forward and backward.
“Well, if you insist, we will keep going. Now let's see.It looks like you've been gone for a few days. Where are you going?”
The brothel.
“Wow, a few days in that expensive brothel? Good yours. You must have spent a lot of money. Or are you using the family's public funds again? ”
“Again?”
“Why do you make excuses. Isn't that what Master does from time to time or occasionally? ”
When I saw Hyuk Mujin's hostile gaze, I felt the truth.
‘Jin Taekyung.’
I forgot for a moment. What kind of character Jin Taekyung is in this game.
“An embarrassing family.”
Seeing how I have a title for it, there is no way the NPC will like me. I could feel the evidence through the humiliation he showed me.
In this game, it didn't go my way.
‘Ah time..’.
Somewhere deep inside me, I was upset. My head hurts and my eyes are hot. He spoke to me in a low voice.
“Third Master, although I am the lowest Captain, let me say one thing.”
A pathetic fool. Hyuk Mujin spoke to me with such an expression on his face.
“Please stop tarnishing the family name. Live like a human for once. Okay?”
He said those words casually and as he turned around, I just stared back at his head with a blank expression on my face. I laughed, as if it made no sense.
“Life like a human?”
I knew. That Hyuk Mujin was just an NPC who knew nothing.
I know that he did not speak to me but to Jin Taekyung in the game.
But…
‘I feel sucks.’
It was not important that this was just a game or that Hyuk Mujin was just an NPC. No, I don't think so.
The stress that had been piling up, exploding and my patience vanished.
“Hei. Stop there.”
Hyuk Mujin turned around. Face's upset. I want to stab her in the face. Like a child looking at Santa Claus, I smiled brightly.
“You died.”
I flew towards him with my hands clenched.
–
The heavy atmosphere. A large stack of paper on the table. And like a painting, a cold-faced guard.
Ssk. Ssk.
The gatekeeper's head9 was swallowed. When he walked into the office, his mouth felt dry.
“Speaking.”
His voice came from behind a pile of tall papers.
The gatekeeper's head spoke in an almost inaudible voice.
“Among my subordinates, I have valuable workers. His loyalty to the main family is impressive and he is talented.. ”.
“I listened.”
“Maybe because he is young but he is arrogant and does not know his front part of his back.”
Get to the point.
“He quarreled with Third Master.”
“... That's understandable. And the youngest? ”
“He has been transferred to hospital. At the moment he is unconscious but there is a little annoyance.. ”.
Quiescent.
“Everything's my fault! Please give me my punishment! ”
The gatekeeper's head lowered his head, feeling his dark future. He heard a voice after a while.
“It's okay if that much. Out now. ”
The gatekeeper head felt as if he had been promoted to the board of directors and raised his head.
“Ah. Just one more.”
“Iya.”
“Can I see that young man? I want to talk to him. ”
“It is. Domineer. I'm sorry to say this but the young man is still being treated. ”
Being treated?
“Iya. The young man was also in the hospital. I heard that there was a crack in his bone. ”
“... Really? Then it's okay. ”
It was silent even after the gatekeeper's head left, when a pile of tall papers fell.
“Hui Peng.”
Hui Peng answered the 35-year-old patriarch who had just turned 35, Jin Huikyung, with a hard face.
“Iya.”
“I'll be out for a while.”
It's already started again. Hui Peng, the guard of Jin Huikyung, sighed and looked at Jin Huikyung's back, as Jin Huikyung left.
