    576 – Human Power Generator

    576 – Human Power Generator

    Shasha-shak-! Kong-!

    My body, moving on its own, attacked Gaeul’s head.

    “Huh?”

    Gaeul was bewildered by the not-so-great damage, and in the meantime, my body kept moving.

    Shasha-shak-! Kong-!

    Shasha-shak-! Kong-!

    Levinas attacked, followed by Bom and Haneul in turn.

    Fortunately, the kids were not taking any damage.

    “This is bad! Wanga is being controlled!”

    “Yes…! But he’s resisting with incredible mental strength…!”

    “What?! Is that so?!”

    “Yes! The attacks are coming, but it doesn’t hurt at all…! Surely, Master is resisting to protect us…!”

    Haneul looked at me with admiration.

    Contrary to Haneul’s expectations, I was hitting Haneul’s body with all my strength.

    Kong kong kong kong-

    It was a punch filled with my power, but Haneul didn’t budge at all.

    I was relieved that it didn’t hurt, but it was also somewhat shocking.

    “Master…! Hang in there…!”

    Kong kong kong kong-!

    Haneul cheered me on as I threw my powered punches.

    It was probably meant to encourage me to break free from the control, but for some reason, it sounded like she was urging me to hit harder.

    Of course, I knew very well that our Haneul didn’t mean it that way.

    “Wanga! Just a little more strength! Wanga!”

    “Hingnae.”

    Levinas and Gaeul joined Haneul in cheering for me.

    Kong kong kong kong-

    Despite the continuous attacks, with no damage at all, the boss Grombash began to get excited.

    “Kehe!”

    Boss Grombash waved his staff.

    As the purple Mana sparkled, the control over my body began to return.

    “Ah!”

    I quickly retracted the fist I had extended toward the kids.

    Maybe it was because I had thrown consecutive powered punches, but my fist stung.

    “My fist…!”

    The kids approached me as I rubbed my sore fist.

    For some reason, their eyes were shining.

    “Our Master has broken the Monster’s control…!”

    “Blue Haneul, this is an easy task for our Wanga!”

    “Magic!”

    Haneul was in awe, while Levinas and Gaeul puffed out their chests as if they had accomplished something.

    In truth, it was the boss who had directly released the control, but seeing the kids’ expressions made it hard to tell the truth.

    “Hmm.”

    So I decided to maintain silence.

    I wasn’t exactly lying, but I still felt guilty.

    For now, I decided to get through the situation somehow.

    “Kids, let’s take down the boss first.”

    “Ah! Okay!”

    The kids aimed their weapons at Boss Grombash.

    I also aimed my bow at Grombash after receiving my bow and arrows back from Gaeul.

    I was planning to deliver a powerful attack to the Grombash who had hurt my fist.

    The explosive arrow with the giantization spell looked promising.

    Swaeek-!

    Bang-!

    **

    The hunt for Boss Grombash ended more easily than expected.

    Thanks to Saebyeok’s indiscriminate pounding on the one hit by my explosive arrow.

    Bang bang bang bang-!

    Even though a single punch from Saebyeok would put it in a near-death state, Saebyeok continued to attack.

    For some reason, it felt like Saebyeok was attacking with less force.

    “Saebyeok, the boss has turned into a pancake.”

    “Yeah. I avenged Gyeoul.”

    “Ah.”

    Was it Saebyeok who made the boss pay for hurting my fist?

    I felt grateful, but I also felt a bit sorry for the monster that had turned into mush.

    Well, it was a monster after all.

    After collecting the monster’s loot, we returned to the guild.

    Having sold the loot to Sophia at the Dawn Guild trading post, we returned to the Ggaemmi Guild.

    After asking the office staff, Hwang In-ho and Shin Ah-rang, to organize things, we stepped outside the guild building.

    In the guild’s front yard, the kids were playing some fun game.

    “Be controlled!”

    “Ugh! Levinas’s body…!”

    Bom was controlling Levinas with a game controller.

    It wasn’t real control; she was just pointing the controller at Levinas and pressing buttons.

    “Hey, what are you doing?”

    “We’re playing the game of controlling Gyeoul.”

    “Oh…”

    Every time Bom pressed a button, Levinas’s body moved this way and that.

    He stretched his limbs toward the air and tilted his upper body side to side.

    “Levinas’s body is moving on its own!”

    Levinas spun around and approached me.

    Then he reached out and rubbed my cheek with a strong hug.

    “Wanga! This is because Levinas is being controlled, I can’t help it!”

    Levinas rubbed my cheek to the point of being squished.

    I also rubbed Levinas’s cheek back.

    “I’m not being controlled. It’s just that Levinas likes me.”

    “Huh…! Is that so?!”

    As Levinas giggled, Bom approached him.

    With a villainous expression, Bom pointed at Levinas and repeatedly pressed the controller.

    “Drop it already!”

    “It won’t drop! Levinas has been freed from control!”

    “This can’t be!”

    Thud, Bom knelt down.

    She wasn’t really despairing; it was just part of their game.

    “Okay, now it’s time for the villain controlling Levinas.”

    “Okay!”

    Releasing the hug, Levinas grabbed the controller.

    As Levinas aimed the controller at Bom, she shook her head and pointed at me.

    “This time, it’s Gyeoul’s turn to be controlled.”

    “Me?”

    “Yeah. Gyeoul, come play with us.”

    Hearing Bom’s words, Levinas pointed the controller at me.

    When Levinas randomly pressed the buttons on the controller, something shocking happened.

    My body really started to be controlled.

    “My body…!”

    When I pressed the circle button, my fist shot out, and when I pressed the X button, I jumped.

    Moving the left stick made my body move accordingly.

    “Huh! Wanga! It really feels like Levinas is controlling me!”

    Did Levinas think I was pretending to be completely controlled?

    Levinas gasped in admiration.

    “Le, Levinas, I really feel like I’m being controlled…!”

    “What?!”

    Surprised, I slowly began to move my Mana.

    Then my body started to resist the control.

    ‘Is it possible to break free with Mana when being controlled?’

    Fingers, wrists, and arms.

    It was the moment I slowly regained control.

    “Yah!”

    Thud-!

    Levinas threw the game controller to the ground.

    As the controller collided with a rock, my body moved freely again.

    “Levinas does not control family!”

    Levinas kicked the fallen controller on the ground in anger.

    It seemed like it was quite a shock for Levinas to have controlled me without permission.

    “Levinas, I’m okay now.”

    “Huh! Really?!”

    Seeing me move my body freely again, Levinas regained his smile.

    Then, with a shocked expression, he looked down at the controller.

    “Levinas broke the game controller.”

    “Hmm… Should we ask the blacksmiths to fix it?”

    “Do blacksmiths fix game controllers?”

    “Not sure? Let’s just take it there for now.”

    We took the controller and headed to the blacksmith.

    The controller seemed to be in a different field than our blacksmith, but we brought it just in case.

    “Juin!”

    “Master…!”

    At the blacksmith, Gaeul and Haneul were present.

    Gaeul was holding a flashlight.

    “Gaeul, what’s that?”

    “Ikgu!”

    Gaeul showed me the flashlight.

    Next to the flashlight was a large button, and when Gaeul pressed it, the flashlight emitted light.

    “Wow, it’s a generator flashlight.”

    “Baljongi?”

    “Yeah. When Gaeul presses this, electricity is generated, and the flashlight lights up.”

    “Gaeulri jongi?!”

    Was Gaeul amazed that it generated electricity by pressing it?

    Gaeul’s tail perked up.

    “Baljongi! Baljongi!”

    Bouncing around.

    Gaeul ran around the blacksmith.

    Watching this, Shin Hae-il pulled a large bicycle out of a small box.

    A bicycle coming out of a tiny box?

    It seemed like a magical storage box.

    “If you like the generator, do you want to try this too? It’s a pedal-powered generator.”

    “Huh…!”

    We took the bicycle generator outside.

    Just then, Hanyeoreum and Jeong Yuna were approaching us.

    “Hey, should we grill some meat?”

    Hanyeoreum showed us some meat.

    Gaeul approached Hanyeoreum.

    “Baljongi!”

    “Bal… what?”

    “Generator.”

    “Oh, uh, yeah. It’s a bicycle generator, right?”

    “Yes.”

    If we used the bicycle generator, we could grill meat on an electric grill, right?

    I thought I could generate a lot of electricity since I would be pedaling fast.

    “Kids, let’s try grilling meat with the generator.”

    “Baljongi meat!”

    Grilling meat with manpower sounded like it would be fun.

    **

    After finishing his work, Kang Jinho was heading to the kids’ guild.

    He had been invited by Hanyeoreum to grill meat in front of the kids’ guild.

    “Huh… Huh…”

    As Kang Jinho approached the guild, he heard Gyeoul’s heavy breathing.

    He also heard the sound of pedaling a bicycle.

    What were they doing to make such sounds?

    Arriving in front of the Ggaemmi Guild, Kang Jinho witnessed a scene that was both fresh and shocking.

    “Huh…!”

    Gyeoul was pedaling the bicycle at an incredible speed.

    The bicycle seemed to be a generator, and the wires coming from it were connected to an electric grill.

    Chiiiii-

    The electric grill flickered on and off, slowly cooking the meat.

    Of course, it was still almost raw.

    What was this?

    Were they torturing the kid?

    Kang Jinho stared intently at Gyeoul and the backs of Hanyeoreum and Jeong Yuna, who were watching Gyeoul.

    Thank you for reading today, PIA1747014585384!

    Thank you for the comment recommendations! They always give me strength!

    To turn on the electric grill, it requires 1000w…!

    However, it seems that an adult can produce 100w of electricity with a bicycle generator…!
