The sun went down and the night deepened.
Naturally, your ears become bright, and your body becomes sensitive to the slightest sound.
I fiddled with my phone several times to see if I could make a call.
The abandoned hunting grounds are unserviceable, so of course there is no way to communicate, but the situation was too desperate to just stay still.
After trying for a long time, Taejeong turned off the power when the battery went down to one cell.
Then, I settled down in the farthest corner of the house and thought about the future.
‘Can I return alive?’
It was a question that had already been asked dozens of times.
Life or death for himself was also life or death, but there was a separate big worry.
A younger brother who will be left alone without parents.
Thinking about that made the evaluation more complicated.
Having lost his parents in an accident when he was young and living alone with his younger sister, he has taken on the responsibility of being the head of the household despite his young age.
Even if he could not eat or wear himself, he wanted to feed and clothe his brother as well as he did.
It was a huge burden of responsibility, but it was also the only support for his life in an unfortunate environment.
Although he is 20 years old and has now become an adult, the younger brother he has raised since he was a baby was still an existence to be protected in Tae-jeong’s eyes.
‘no. I can’t die yet, never.’
Taejeong, who was thinking about this and that, fell asleep at some point.
how long has it been like that
flinch.
His body shuddered once as if he had just played a game, and his closed eyes flashed open.
Silent darkness that even sounded.
After keeping his eyes open for a long time, he let out a sigh when his eyes got used to the darkness.
“ha. I fell asleep.”
As soon as his vision was secured, he got up and headed to the bathroom.
It was to urinate.
While he was going about his errands without thinking, something very foreign energy passed through his senses.
At the same time, fear surged from the bottom of the abyss along with great tension.
‘x done. There’s something.’
Taejeong, who had been still like a hardened stone statue for a while, quietly raised her head.
‘light?’
Fortunately, what he felt was not a monster.
light. A very subtle light was seeping through the cracks in the ceiling.
It was so feeble that it was barely perceptible even in the total darkness.
After confirming that it was not a monster, he pulled up his pants with a sigh of relief.
Then she stepped back a little and pondered what the identity of that light was.
‘I don’t think it’s been there before. How could such an abandoned building have such light?’
After pondering for a while and not getting any answer, he moved closer and observed it.
The exact location where the light was leaking was the inspection port of the plumbing attached to the ceiling.
I don’t know about big guys, but there’s enough space for small monsters to fit in.
The moment when I was about to step out of fear that was flooding in again.
A strange voice came from somewhere.
-It’s here.
“town.”
Tae-jeong almost screamed in shock.
At the same time, a cold sweat broke out and my eyeballs began to turn mercilessly.
A mysterious voice came to him again.
-It’s really spectacle to see him shivering like a dog caught in the winter rain.
“All, you… … .”
-I am the alter ego of Sirius.
“Dog star… ‘s alter ego? So, a monster?”
For the first time in his life, Tae-jung almost peed his pants.
If I hadn’t urinated earlier, I really would have been.
I felt like a moth caught in a spider web waiting to be eaten.
‘What do we do? x is done It’s really fucked up.’
Amidst all the thoughts running through my head, I heard the man’s voice again.
-That’s stupid. To compare this body to such a lower creature.
“Yes?”
-listen carefully. I can’t give a detailed introduction because of the restrictions at hand, but I have no intention of harming you. So, open this inspection port right now and take out the super-stone inside.
“Are you saying it’s a super-yellow stone?”
-Here, they say it’s an awakening substance.
“So, is there an Awakening Stone in there?”
-okay. So go ahead and open it.
At the man’s words, Taejeong looked at the inspection gate again.
And a natural thought that comes to mind.
‘Aren’t you a frog?’
It was a reasonable enough idea.
It’s a situation where you don’t know what to do if you open it without knowing what to do.
An annoyed voice came from him.
– Just turn it off. For a coward like you, I’d rather wait a little longer. From what I can see, you are clearly the one to sell early. If that happens, my lifelong dream will become nothing in an instant. It’s unlucky that the place where I fell was blocked by the guard was such a smelly place.
Tae-jeong had no idea what he was talking about.
One thing for sure was that he had severe emotional ups and downs, and that he was good at talking quietly.
As a result, I couldn’t help but be curious.
What if it’s not a real monster?
“That’s not it, I… … .”
-If you’re not going to open it, don’t talk to me.
“No, but there has to be a process of getting to know each other a little… … .”
– Hey, you stupid bastard. If you just open it, open it. This bastard, what a chance this opportunity is. Even if you die ten thousand times and live ten thousand times, this is a chance that will never come again.
Now a man who even curses.
Tae-jeong was able to lower her guard to some extent through this conversation.
For some reason, I felt a sense of familiarity.
“Are you good?”
-Of course. The super-geite contained in this is not the ordinary super-geite that you are familiar with. It’s a little funny to say with my own mouth, but it can be said that it is a masterpiece of the super universe’s history. With this, putting the world under your feet is no big deal.
“If it’s that good, why don’t you just use it for me… … .”
– Tsk tsk. A clumsy guy. I am the super yolk itself, so are you calling that a question now?
“ah. Then please tell me that from the beginning. By the way, he said don’t talk to me, but you’re kinder than you look.”
At Taejeong’s leisurely words, Sirius’s alter ego almost exploded to death.
A human being placed in a deserted place and met in a semi-abandoned state.
I thought it was a golden opportunity that would never happen again, so I started talking until now.
Because if you miss this human, you don’t know how much longer you’ll have to wait.
However, in case someone wasn’t human, he had too many doubts.
‘I don’t have much time now… … .’
It’s been awhile since I’ve been burned in my nervous heart.
Taejeong’s mouth opened as if she had made up her mind.
“good. Let’s believe it. I was in a situation where I had no answer anyway.”
– Well thought out. You will probably bow a hundred times a day because you are grateful to me.
“As long as you survive.”
After that, Taejeong boldly lifted the inspection tool.
Then, a tremendous amount of light poured in, and the inside of the bathroom was brightly lit.
And a small object that emits visible bright light.
It was a stone of awakening.
“It was real… … .”
Taejeong, who was staring at the stone as if possessed by something, reached out and picked it up.
Then the light from the stone was sucked into him, and soon a notification sound was heard.
[You have succeeded in awakening in the mechanic class.]
– It’s finally done. At least, the thing I made was almost blown away.
Sirius murmured, and Taejeong asked with a puzzled expression.
“Then have I become a Hunter now?”
-That’s how it is.
“I am a Hunter… … .”
-I don’t have time to get wet with such sentiments. listen carefully. The job you awakened to is actually an unfinished class. Due to structural issues, most of the powers are sealed. But don’t worry too much. Because that alone is strong enough.
“that… I don’t understand it well, but what is a seal and what is a structural problem?”
-I don’t have time to explain that. Just keep this one thing in mind. don’t die, stay alive And increase your strength, until you reach the fullest possible form. Then, at some point, you will come across a singularity.
“What’s special about it?”
-okay. And that time will be the first step in the long-cherished history of the eons.
“Yes? What is it? I completely understand what you are saying… tell me more… … .”
– Heed my words. everything is in your hands everything… … .
“excuse me. excuse me?”
I called him several times, but no further answer came.
A bathroom full of silence.
“What is this… … .”
The unreal conversations and the silence of reality felt again.
The sense of alienation was so severe that a sense of uneasiness crept in.
Maybe my mind and body were weak and I saw something in vain.
In the midst of many thoughts, he quietly opened his mouth.
“Status.”
Class: Mechanic
Rating [Unmeasurable]
LV.1 EXP 200
Attack [1-5] Defense [1-5]
Penetration [1] Accuracy [1] Magic [200]
Gloves [0] Shields [0]
“… It’s real.”
A vivid status window that floats translucently.
It was an undoubted awakening.
A little bit of relief.
A question soon popped into his mind.
“By the way, was there a class called mechanic?”
Tae-jeong tilted her head and searched for her memories.
It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no class that I do not know about in one year of potter time.
There is only a difference according to grade and level, because the classified jobs are limited.
However, the mechanic was something he had never seen before.
“Well, is that a big deal? Now is not the time to think about what you don’t know. Let’s see. Need to check your equipment first? Inventory!”
Since he had seen what hunters usually do, he immediately checked the equipment window.
And an object that seems heterogeneous but somehow familiar.
When I put my hand on it, an information window popped up accordingly.
Beretto 56 [Pistols]
Sealed speed [156 km/h]
Bullet: 9mm Energy Bullet
Range: [10m]
Basic Breakdown – 120
“what? gun… Is that it?”
Taejeong doubted her own eyes.
I wondered if the shape of the equipment resembled a gun, because it was a real gun.
The most basic weapon of modern firearms.
However, over a hundred years ago, all modern firearms had already disappeared.
The day the second Monster Out Break broke out.
All the military equipment that modern civilization was proud of evaporated at once due to an unknown phenomenon.
The reason was unknown.
Because it disappeared naturally as if it never existed.
But there was a bigger problem.
return.
Civilization as a whole has returned.
From 3020 to 2020.
All the high-tech selfishness that existed in the world disappeared and mankind regressed.
All the flying and flying geniuses put their heads together to try to figure out the cause, but no one got a clue about it.
Humanity began to restore weapons to fight monsters as soon as possible.
But somehow the weapons that came out didn’t work.
Even that common conventional rifle could not be used for unknown reasons.
Thus, modern weapons disappeared into history with the advent of the Awakeners, without knowing the cause.
It was over a hundred years ago from the point of already returning.
But, a gun at this point?
“I never thought I would see this in real life, I think I only saw it in cartoons. Does it work?”
Taejeong took out a gun from her inventory and held it in her hand.
It was quite heavy, and it weighed more than it looked.
While holding the gun, a small window appeared in the upper right corner.
[In the first trigger, the upper slide retreats and advances]
[Activate skill lv1 pistol type energy bullet]
[trigger trigger]
clap.
“This is how you do it. Skill data.”
After learning how to reload, Taejeong immediately opened the skill window.
[Energy shot] lv1 [Pistols]
Bullets using magic power.
Round 1: 10mp
*Destructive power increases according to stats.
“activation.”
[Energy shot activated.]
[Applicable firearm – Beretto 56]
“Five. So now with this I… … .”
Ok
