6 – accident
“You f*cking bastard! I will kill you!”
The tall man drew a knife and began to stride towards me.
‘… I made a mistake. I would have thought this guy was a villain too.’
Kanghyuk raised his revolver while looking at the man’s knife.
His original plan was to kill the Witch of Temptation and then wait patiently for the three men to leave.
It was a natural reaction for an ordinary person to run away in a panic if the person next to them was suddenly shot. If he had used that time to secure the body of the Witch of Temptation, Kang Hyuk would have easily received the bounty this time… !
However, his plan was completely disrupted when one of the three men was the villain.
Now that this has happened, Kanghyeok has no choice but to deal with not only the witch of temptation, but also the huge man in front of him.
‘The fortunate thing is that the Witch of Temptation doesn’t have any special combat skills… ! If that’s the case, I’d better get rid of this man quickly.’
Kanghyuk raised the muzzle at the man.
Now that I’ve made up my mind, I have no choice but to pull the trigger… !
Taaang-!
“This bastard!”
When Kanghyuk fired his gun, the large man who approached Kanghyuk freaked out and opened the gravitational field again.
I was startled and dropped the knife, but the man was unscathed.
Feeling that the durability of the gravity field was greater than expected, Kanghyuk waited for the revolver’s cylinder to rotate.
“It is this time! All over!”
However, the man seemed to have no intention of waiting for it.
The big man shouted loudly and rushed at Kanghyuk.
Kang Hyuk hurriedly twisted his body, but the man’s grip quickly grabbed his wrist.
“Got it! I dare to know who I was! What are you guys doing! Quickly take this bastard’s gun away while I’m holding it!”
“… Yes, yep! older brother!”
As the man shouted, the other two suddenly attacked Kanghyuk.

Just like that, the four men who started getting tangled up roughly… !
“It was stolen!”
In the meantime, the skinny man was able to succeed in stealing the revolver that Kang Hyuk was holding in his right hand.
Perhaps it was because Kanghyuk’s only weapon was stolen, the three faces became elated at once… !
Shush!
“… uh huh?”
But it was just that moment.
When the revolver they had stolen suddenly disappeared, the three men’s expressions went blank.
Clap!
The revolver that disappeared was still clutched in Kanghyuk’s left hand.
“You shouldn’t touch other people’s things.”
“yes… I hope you have this ability… !”
… Taaang!
The skinny man who was talking collapsed to the floor as soon as the bullet pierced his forehead, like a doll with a thread cut off.
“Hee, hee!”
The tall man, who witnessed the scene right in front of him, hurriedly ran away. However, Kang Hyuk had no intention of leaving him alone.
Taang!
“Ouch!”
The tall man eventually rolled across the floor in a splatter of blood.
“Whoa… .”
Kanghyuk took a deep breath and slowly raised his body.
Although he killed the two in the blink of an eye, Kanghyuk didn’t feel much guilt about it.
After all, weren’t they also Villain’s colleagues?
Being designated as a villain meant that he had committed far more crimes than common felons. So, there was no need to feel any guilt. After all, they were the evils of society.
“This, this dog dare to make my brothers! Do you know who you touched just now!”
“Who did I touch?”
“You messed with the Hero Association, you bastard!”
Kanghyuk tilted his head at the moment when the large man shouted in a voice full of resentment.
Why is the Hero Association suddenly appearing here?
“This f*cking bastard… ! How dare I, an E-class hero, kill G-Force Man’s younger siblings… !”
“…E-class hero? You’re the E-class hero’s G-Force Man… ?”
At the man’s words, Kanghyuk’s eyes suddenly shook greatly.
Kanghyuk suddenly felt like his head was spinning.
The man’s true identity was not a villain, but a hero… ?
No, then why was this bastard trying to kill me in the first place?
If he hadn’t stopped a large man striding forward holding a knife with a gun, none other than Kang-hyeok himself would have been killed.
As much as he had been through such a situation, from Kanghyuk’s point of view, of course, he had no choice but to think that the man in front of him was the villain. Because if he was a hero, he wouldn’t have threatened Kang-hyeok in such a way.
“I will never let you go!”
“Hey, wait! It must have been some kind of misunderstanding. I’m not you guys, but the witch of temptation from the beginning… .”
“aaa!”
The tall man seemed unwilling to listen to what Kanghyuk had to say.
He shouted and rushed at Kanghyuk.
After that, Kanghyuk and the man got entangled again like that.
“Die you bastard!”
f*ck!
The tall man swung his fist at Kanghyuk. However, his fist only hit the floor in vain.
It was Kang Hyuk who had already gained agility and strength stats by leveling up twice. It wouldn’t matter if three people rushed at the same time, but Kang Hyuk was in the position that he could deal with it alone if he was a tall man alone.
puck!
“… Kuck!”
As Kanghyuk’s knee hit the man’s side, the man let out a scream. He then smashed his chin with an uppercut, and eventually the man collapsed to the floor screaming.
‘hahahaha. Apparently, the gravitational field can only be used for long-range defense. thank god.’
Kanghyuk straightened his breathing and got up.
The gigantic man, G-Force Man, was clenching his chin and making a croaking sound, but Kang Hyuk looked down at him with mixed eyes and then brought the gun to him as if he couldn’t help it.
“Damn it… Buy, save me… !”
Taaang!
The G-Force Man, who urgently tried to spread the gravitational field, was unable to do so and died as it was.
Kang Hyuk put on a bitter expression and grabbed his revolver.
‘It may have happened due to a misunderstanding, but that doesn’t mean we can’t let him live like this. I could be in danger.’
Kang Hyuk shook his head.
This incident could be seen as an accident caused by misunderstanding upon misunderstanding.
G-Forceman mistook Kang-hyeok’s bullets he had sent for the Witch of Temptation as bullets fired at him, and Kang-hyeok took out a knife and saw G-Forceman striding towards him, mistaking him for a villain. All those misunderstandings piled up, and in the end, Kang Hyuk killed the three men.
[Teeling!]
[Your level has risen!]
[Agility stat increases!]
[You can choose your skill!]
However, it was only for a while that I felt complicated.
Kang Hyuk smiled bitterly when he suddenly heard a refreshing alarm sound in his head.
Accidents are accidents, and what should be taken should not be taken again?
His consciousness was soon sucked into the pure white space.
It was none other than a ‘skill selection space’.
***
Three cards floated in front of Kanghyuk’s eyes.
The leftmost card had a ‘burning bullet’ drawn on it, and the center card had a ‘frozen bullet’ drawn on it. And on the far right card, a ‘shining bullet’ was drawn.
“Fire and ice… and light… !”
Kanghyuk rubbed his chin and shook his head vigorously. After a while, Kanghyuk was finally able to figure out what the three cards meant.
“Right. Is it a skill that can create elemental bullets?”
Since Kang Hyuk was one of the deceased characters in 『Hero of the World』, he was well aware of how the skill tree of ‘characteristics’ progressed. According to his prediction, it was now time to give the bullets elemental power.
‘In terms of attack power alone, flame bullets are better than ice bullets. But what if we consider specificity? If you look for it, there are many bullets with flames on the market. For example, the dragon breath used in shotguns… (Dragon Breath: A type of special bullet for shotguns. Metal powder such as zirconium is put inside the shell, and when fired, it turns the shotgun into a simple flamethrower with a range of about 20m.)’
Kang Hyuk put the two cards in front of him and pondered over and over again.
From the beginning, ‘Bullet of Light’ was excluded. Tracer bullets didn’t seem very useful.
Of course, if you choose the bullet of light, you might find something like a ‘healing bullet’ later. However, what Kanghyuk needed now was not something like healing. He needed a lot of strength. Even if an accident like the one just before happened again, it was a powerful enough force to easily deal with it.
“…Then it’s decided.”
After a while, Kang Hyuk finally made up his mind and stretched out his hand.
The new skill was [Create 5.56mm Cold Bullet].
