This was not the intention of the being who summoned John.
Pushing John into all kinds of despair and hardships, gradually turning the accumulated anger into resentment towards Luna, leading him to decide to burn everything in the world.
It would have had to be the destruction of the name John Doe as the intended power was given, and anger and stress accumulated in the time of drying blood every day.
but.
The man John Doe wasn’t normal, his life wasn’t normal at all, and of course his thoughts aren’t normal either.
He somehow adapted to the environment and lived, and the unexpressed anger gradually accumulated, but John’s goal suppressed it.
His only goal is to survive.
Nothing else can stand before John’s will to survive.
That’s how I met a dying player who survived with my own hands, took the opportunity, and came all the way here.
But what direction will John go after learning the identity of the person who threatens John’s will to survive?
The rage that had lost its way found its target, and it was clear that the target was not the one who summoned John.
***
Two, two, two, dung.
The vibrations resounding from the mother body, whose carapace and tentacles were all burnt and revealed their true form, were gradually weakening.
As if the intense mental wave was the last step, the mother body was gradually losing its vitality in the fiercely burning flames, and everyone present here did not doubt it.
Among the party who looked at the scene with cool emotions, Caidel looked at John and her eyes lit up.
‘You did something. The spirit body was hit.’
John had just had a conversation with his mother, and John dismissed it as pointless, but he couldn’t fool Caidel’s eyes.
The momentum of the mother body, which exuded a strong spiritual presence, was broken at once, and in the aftermath, it was unable to resist the flames.
While watching the mother body burn in preparation for any variable, John turned his body.
“Are you going John?”
“Because the request seems to be over. Aren’t the National Guards going to clean up after you?”
Strydom smiled bitterly when he saw John’s plain reply.
A mid-sized company is involved, and a situation that could have spread to a crisis for Luna as a whole had it gone wrong.
Organ Makers must be drooling, but they couldn’t leave it alone, and it seemed clear that the National Guard and the Inspector Corps would have to suffer for a while.
He wanted to ask John, who had great combat power against mutants, to exterminate the remaining mutants, but considering the battles he had done so far, it was ambiguous to ask.
‘······Let’s use the player.’
Strydom opened his mouth, laughing at the thought he had involuntarily thought.
“yes. It’s been hard. zone. Give me some time later.”
“any amount.”
Seeing the solver answer with an emotionless face, Straydom hardened his face without realizing it.
Although not a player, Caidel confirmed that John was also an unusual being, and John did not deny it either.
From what I’ve seen so far, it doesn’t seem particularly hostile to Luna, but I don’t know what will happen to people.
It was a pain in the ass because another problem arose after one task was dealt with, but Strytham had some trust in a man named John Doe.
whiz.
As he passed by Odin, who was staring at him with complicated eyes, and approached Caidel, the body of the executioners surrounding him resonated with the sound of mechanical operation.
It was clearly wary, but neither John nor Kaidel cared about that.
“What happened? fixer.”
“I don’t call you a kid.”
A smile formed on Caidel’s face.
“I can’t call someone with your level of strength a kid.”
A short mechanical sound emanated from the executor’s body, and it was difficult for John to decide whether this was good or bad.
His status must have risen because he was recognized by someone as strong as Kaidel, but he was caught in the eyes of the Executioner, the target to avoid most in Luna.
For a while, complicated thoughts swirled in his head, but John, who had decided on a goal and made every action bolder, did not hesitate.
“Can I contact you separately?”
“Nothing will be difficult.”
Caidel nodded with a knowing look on her face and sent her contact information through the device, and the enforcers didn’t particularly stop it.
“Thank you. contact me.”
“Don’t wait. fixer.”
Leaving behind the National Guard, who passed by Kaidel and the bailiff and looked at him with friendly eyes, John reached the elevator and sighed as he looked at the aisle that seemed to open up endlessly.
“I’ll be thrilled.”
Still, this was the fastest way, so I had no other choice.
John grumbled and stepped into the elevator shaft.
***
In the news, reports confirming Organmaker’s M&A victory broke out all at once, and some cheered and some fell into despair.
The cheering voices are those who bet on Organmaker, and the ones in despair are those who bet on Hindel Bionic.
Sudden suicides and missing persons fleeing to the slums would appear innumerable, but Luna was not idle enough to pay attention to such things, and accidents, large and small, were still continuing.
Luna returned to her daily life after the M&A festival, but some people realized that Luna had undergone a major transformation.
After a long time, the city council was convened, and opinions were exchanged with the National Guard and the company council.
Unbeknownst to ordinary citizens, after several days of heated debate, Luna’s vested interests eventually allowed a new faction to take hold in Luna.
player.
Players who had been cautious only in the shadows were allowed to come to the surface, and although all kinds of restrictions were imposed, most players were satisfied with the fact that they could now engage in legitimate activities.
If it was simply a mutant situation, it would have pressed the players as before, but things that could be called extinction were in motion without knowing or knowing, and in the midst of that, the players’ usefulness was acknowledged.
Although he still despised Luna’s citizens, Odin and other players in the leadership ranks admitted that the basics had to change, and thus accepted the restrictions of vested interests.
Players who came out to the sun with jobs such as mercenaries, PMCs, and fixers gradually began to permeate into Luna, and each started active activities in the eyes of the public security, defense forces, and inspections.
Some players who couldn’t abandon their existing attitude and acted recklessly turned into light and disappeared, and players who saw them took care of themselves.
No matter what their intentions are, they are also the ones who survived after rolling in Luna for more than 3 years.
Because each of them, with their thorough reasoning and sense of purpose, was no different from the elite.
Luna, who never ceases to have accidents, always lacks hands, and has a lot of work to the point of supplying a fixer in the slum.
Conflict abounded, there were always citizens seeking bloody vengeance, and Luna’s people preferred guns to horses.
In the meantime, there were even signs of destruction that began to appear quietly, so it was not strange that the players were naturally accepted as part of Luna.
John would have to be busy with the increasing number of incidents, but surprisingly, John was free.
There was something that John himself wanted to rest, but more than that, it was an external change.
John’s rank as a solver had risen to the top.
The mutant situation was not known because it was covered by M&A, but everyone who might know knew about it, and John’s fighting ability, which he showed in the process, made it impossible to place him in the position of a senior solver.
In addition, the trust that the company’s work was solved and the defense force’s guarantee.
Now, John couldn’t be moved with any request, and if there was such a big man, there was only a large company or a force comparable to him, so there was no way that such people would move carelessly.
It was a little more than a month after the Hindel Bionic incident when John, who had thoroughly rested and conditioned his body and mind, left the house.
***
“Bye!”
“yes.”
Seeing John leave the house after being seen off by Lina, he could feel the people observing John moving in their own way, but John didn’t particularly care.
It was because John, who had been confined to his house for a month and checked himself, had a different feeling than before.
confidence in survival.
Now, in any situation, I had the confidence that I could lose my body somehow, and that was no bravado.
The huge amount of experience gained in the mutant crisis raised John’s ability to the limit, and the images of superhumans he witnessed and experienced in front of him brought a great change to him.
and conversations with mothers.
The experience of being dragged into an infinitely mysterious space and giving blows to her mother’s spiritual body was a rare experience even considering Luna as a whole, and John, who refined his mind and body based on all of that, was able to step into the threshold of superman.
The appearance did not change.
Wearing a tight-fitting suit, shiny shoes, neatly combed hair and a trench coat, John’s slightly tired expression is that of a typical salaryman.
John, who blended into the street without any sense of incongruity, moved on, and those who recognized him bowed their heads.
How long had it been since I walked the entertainment district of Area 53 like that?
The boundaries of entertainment districts appeared, and the streets of consumption for shopping began.
Unlike the quiet entertainment district because the sun was up, the sight of countless people coming and going and venting their desires seemed to show the essence of the city of Luna.
A city that is infinitely greedy and selfish and puts its own desire first.
Although his appearance has not changed at all, this appearance has a different meaning to John, who has undergone a great transformation inside.
“Howdy. zone.”
A man sitting at a table outside the seemingly secluded café waved at him, and John nodded and approached him.
A young man with bright blond hair neatly brushed back and picturesque features was smiling brightly.
The appearance was so splendid that passers-by unknowingly stared at it, and some women blushed and wanted to talk to them somehow, but they couldn’t bear to approach.
John’s eyebrows narrowed slightly at the sight of him drawing all the attention, but he soon straightened his face and sat across from the man.
“Long time no see.”
“yes. Long time no see. A little over a month?”
Some of the women who were watching the man’s bright smile took a deep breath, but John’s expression did not change.
He was a strangely handsome man who seemed to only appear in the media, but John knew very well who the man in front of him was.
“That’s what it looks like.”
Chick.
John continued, lighting a cigarette with a cigarette in his mouth.
“Fioren.”
A sun-like smile spread across Fioren’s face.
