“Kahaa…aaaa!!”

There is no way I will easily forget this pain. Because it was a pain that came at the happiest moment for me.

Body change. To put it in martial arts terms, it is a complete transformation.

That was the identity of the pain taking place in my body right now. But why? ‘Kim Kang-pil’, who lived on Earth, must have been an extremely ordinary person who couldn’t even create a mana hole…!

“Keuggeuuu are

I didn’t even have time to continue my thoughts.

The broken bones find their proper place and become twisted and misaligned. Torn muscle bundles are remodeled and become thicker and more elastic. However, it cannot continue like this.

“Ugh…!”

I don’t know why, but my body is currently undergoing a transformation that only a sword master can achieve. However, without mana, it cannot be said to be a proper transformation…

“!?”

At that moment, a mana hole is violently created and expands forcefully. Accordingly, the mana circuit extends throughout the body and circulates a large amount of mana.

As I rolled my eyes in surprise, I saw that mana was being injected through an IV needle stuck in my arm. As I went up the thick tube, blue liquid was being sucked in like crazy from a bag of Ringer’s solution the size of my torso.

Looking at the situation, it seems like that unidentified magic tool is my lifeline…

“Hugs…!”

In any case, it was clear that the blue liquid contained very dense mana.

“Kwaaagh…!”

Thanks to this, a mana hole was forcibly created and the mana circuit was opened.

It took a while, but this wasn’t enough to even regenerate the missing limbs.

Moreover, since the tightly packed waste matter did not seem to be able to escape, the progress of bone transformation was blocked and endless pain continued.

If you keep quiet about this, you’ll be in real trouble.

The sense of crisis loudly rang the alarm bell of instinct.

“Kggrrr…! Nose, coin…”

Coin shop! Come out now!

Although I was unable to speak, fortunately I was able to summon the coin shop just by thinking.

A faint feeling of relief that I could use this on Earth also passed through my mind, but there was no time to savor it in the urgent situation where time was running out.

“Hugh…!”

I lifted my arm, which had very little strength, and searched for ‘it’.

A legendary elixir that has saved my life several times. A panacea that heals and regenerates any wound.

Elixir.

“Whoop…!”

The elixir I purchased popped out, but it was insanely difficult to open the cap.

“Gyaak…!”

After gathering and strengthening all the mana he could control with his hands, he broke the spout itself with instantaneous force and stuck it upside down in the spout. There was no time to worry about pieces of glass or anything like that.

“Grrrgh…gulp, gulp…!”

I drank the elixir, almost gulping it down.

Pop! Parka Gagak! Squeaky!

“Wow!! Ahhh!!”

As soon as Elixir came in, the changes became faster and more intense.

At the same time as the stubby limbs are regenerated, they are distorted and torn due to the changes caused by the metamorphosis.

Pushaaa!

The accumulated waste gushed out like a stream of water from a sprinkler, forming a large puddle.

“Aaaaa!! Wow!!”

I screamed like crazy from such terrible pain. I was worried that someone might come and touch it, but fortunately that didn’t happen.

“Haa, haa, haaaa…!”

When all the changes were finally over, I just had to let my exhausted body go limp and take a long, deep breath. It was about an hour after all the pain had gone that I thought about moving.

“Ugh…what on earth happened…”

I took out the IV needle and got up from the bed filled with a terrible stench.

“Ugh…!”

I felt intense dizziness, but I was somehow able to walk.

“Umm…”

I took a stumbling step and opened the door to what looked like a hospital room, but the pure white hallway was empty without a single person.

“What is this…is it okay to neglect a patient like this…?”

As I move aimlessly at a slow pace, I see an elevator.

After pressing the button and waiting a bit, I entered the wide open door.

“…Huh?”

As soon as I saw the mirror on the wall, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

“This is…”

It had a strange appearance. It’s like a mix of half Kim Kang-pil and Delheim de Sanderom…an exotic face, but you can tell right away that he’s Korean.

“You look good.”

As I smile, I also smile sweetly in the mirror.

Now that I think about it, I have become much taller than my original self.

“Wait, then here?”

I stretched the patient’s pants and checked the lower part of the patient’s uniform. This is very important.

“…kekekeke…!”

As soon as I saw the familiar appearance, I couldn’t help but smile. Even before erection, the plump glans is a burden, the balls and pillar are also heavy and bulky, and it is a vicious cock with thick, red blood vessels. When it gets erect, it looks like it will be as big as Zanderom.

“…I see.”

Only after seeing that, I was able to realize the cause of the transformation.

When I was in Delheim de Zanderom, I raised the level of my soul several times. It would be even stranger if the soul entered an ordinary body and there was no change.

“The body is aligned with the soul… That’s interesting.”

However, because it was such a drastic change, I could not say that my current level was that of a sword master.

If you look at the amount of mana accumulated in the mana hole… it’s probably mid-level, just barely above upper-level. Of course, you can manifest the Auror Blade, but it will only last for a split second and your mana will be depleted.

“Ugh…”

A sigh comes out of my mouth. How did I get that strength, but I have to start over from the middle…

“Ah!”

I suddenly realized that I had forgotten the characters I was collecting, so I hurriedly shouted their names.

“Yoo Seulgi!”

[Due to dimensional barriers, use of training space is limited.]

[The summoned character becomes a ‘fixed character’ and other collected characters are ‘locked’ until the player meets the conditions.]

[Designated fixed character: 0]

[Character unlock conditions: 5 million coins]

[Currently, you can designate and summon one fixed character. Please specify one of your characters.]

“…What?”

-Ding~!

As I was about to be dazed by this unexpected situation, the elevator door that arrived on the first floor slowly opened.

“…Huh?”

“Huh?”

We looked at each other for a moment with people wearing all white gowns.

“…sniff.”

They had just finished lunch, and the smell of pork belly, garlic, and kimchi was wafting from their bodies.

Grumble~!

“……”

This is my first time hearing such a loud sound from a ship.

Once I smelled it, I smiled bitterly as the taste seemed to linger on my tongue.

It looks like he’s Korean. I.

“Hey…what’s going on? The status…”

The middle-aged man who was facing me in front asked me carefully.

Now that I think about it, my patient’s clothes, which were full of waste and blood, looked unusual and there must have been a terrible odor coming out of it. My nose was paralyzed a long time ago so I didn’t feel anything, but…

“Oh, that’s it. My name is…delhe…no, my name is Kangpil Kim. Can someone please explain the situation?”

As they said that while smiling awkwardly, surprise gradually spread across their faces.

***

After changing my clothes, I went to the interview room and heard a brief explanation.

The doctor looked around my body and felt my newly grown arms and legs. He sighed when he saw that a notification window asking if he wanted to put them into the subspace did not appear.

Is it not possible to put just anyone on Earth into subspace?

No, this isn’t a game, so it’s natural, but… it’s a bit disappointing.

“Hmm… So, during the ‘cataclysm’ that occurred about 20 years ago, I was attacked by goblins that came out of a crack and had my arms and legs eaten. I was barely rescued right before I died, but I fell into a coma and have only been receiving life-sustaining treatment until now. ..Is that what you mean?”

“Yes, that’s right…and judging by the situation, it seems that the patient has ‘awakened’.”

“……”

Awakening… did you say awakening means gaining unique abilities? Well, if it’s an awakening, you could say it’s an awakening. Because I gained special abilities.

“Patient. May I know what abilities you gained? You will naturally know how to use it, so just explain it.”

“Why should I do that?”

“Yes, yes? No, that’s how the patient’s current condition…”

“I don’t want to expose my finances.”

“Well, I see. I understand. Um…your body is normal, right?”

“Yes. Can I be discharged from the hospital?”

“Ah, the guardian is scheduled to arrive soon, so you’ll just have to wait.”

“…Guardian?”

Even if you include not only my biological parents but also my siblings and relatives, no one would come to get me, right?

At that time, the door to the counseling room opened roughly.

“Oh, Kangpil Kim! You really woke up! Hey~ Are your limbs okay? I thought he was going to be a complete idiot… but he seems to have had an awakening. haha! huh? what. What did you eat at the hospital that makes you look better than before? You haven’t aged at all! Looks like you’ve grown a bit taller too? Is that your ability? Hmm… I guess it’s of no use.”

“……”

Although he is relatively good-looking, he lives with a cruel sneer and an arrogant look in his eyes, so he is a fucking bastard.

He was 20 years older than I remembered, so I could see a few wrinkles, but he wasn’t someone I could forget. He is the main culprit who has been abusing me since I was young, and after becoming an adult, he is one of the people who openly checked and attacked me through politics, taking away everything that was given to me and putting me in a corner of the Taesung Group.

The second older brother, Kim Kang-jun. A damn bastard I hadn’t seen in a while was standing in front of me.

“You bastard. Why are you staring at me like that? It’s been a while since we met, but I can’t be happy. Why, why don’t you try like you used to? It would be better not to do that. If you hit me like I did then with my power now, you could really fall behind. Oh, I guess you were sleeping the whole time. This is a unique ability.”

As Kim Kang-jun said that, his muscles swelled significantly.

Strengthening your body? It seems like not only the muscles have become stronger, but they have also become stronger.”

“Khaha! Can you see it? If you attack me like you did in the past, you won’t be able to break even a bone. So follow me quietly. My father is calling me.”

“…Hey.”

“What? hey? Is this guy crazy? There are things I can’t say to my brother. Big!?”

It was difficult to listen any longer, so I lifted my chin up.

Because its body was strengthened with mana, it floated away and crashed into the wall.

“Kangjun Kim. You fucking bastard. They said if I ever see that face again, I’ll kill them. Did what I said sound funny? Will you come to your senses if you get beaten like a dog like that time?”

” This is a dog like a dog! Even if you die and wake up, your damn personality is still the same! Who beat someone like a dog? under! It worked out great! I’ll make it clear that I’m different from the person I was bickering with back then!”

Its body swelled even larger and started to run, thump thump thump thump.

It is an ignorant charge that just runs without any technique.

Looks like some kind of ogre.

“…Ha.”

Why do I look so funny?

He loaded his fist with aura and punched his face with all his might.

“Wow!?”

The guy with his neck half-turned flies again and lands on the wall.

As the pieces broke and fell, he stared at my fist in disbelief.

“Oh, Auror? Your guy! How can an auror…!?”

“Ah, are they called Aurors here too? It will be convenient because there will be no confusion.”

When I stand in front of him, smiling, his face turns blue.

“Now, wait…wait! My father told me to bring you! If you don’t listen…”

“Fuck you! Do you think I am who I used to be? I don’t feel pressured anymore. If you want to see it, come crawl on your own. Do you understand?”

“You, you! What kind of habit of speaking to your father, Kahak!”

“Shut up. Let’s start right away.”

I beat him like a dog for about ten minutes until the hospital security arrived.

***

“Phew…”

After running away from the guards, I walked around the streets of Seoul for the first time in a long time.

I was still wearing a patient gown and hospital slippers, but I didn’t care.

“Hmm… It has changed.”

Familiar buildings disappeared, and buildings I had never seen suddenly raised their heads.

A strange mana energy was felt in every building that seemed a bit tall, and it seemed to be a crime prevention facility in preparation for attacks using mana.

“It’s a combination of magic and science…”

Additionally, it was a strange feeling to see people walking around with swords and shields all over the streets. Even those with changed body parts were walking around calmly. It may have a tail, animal ears, or in extreme cases, it may be covered with rocks, steel, etc.

“Awakened. Hunter…haha.”

It was a bit absurd so I laughed bitterly.

“…Let’s go home first.”

The first thing to do was to decide whether a character was fixed or not and satisfy the conditions to increase the number of fixed characters, but it was not something worth doing on a street like this.

“I’m hungry.”

Above all, since I had no money, walking around the streets only made me hungrier. I should go home and cook some ramen.

…but no way. It’s not like the house disappeared or anything, right?

I was a little worried so I walked faster.

***

“Phew…I’m glad.”

Contrary to my worries, there was no apparent problem with my house.

Room 505 on the 5th floor of a 30-story luxurious residential-commercial complex is my home. Except for the presence of mana-filled equipment here, it didn’t seem to have changed much from twenty years ago.

“Wait a minute. What business do you have?”

“Huh?”

As I was about to enter the entrance, a security guard rushed out and blocked my way.

His body and bones were magnificent and he had a strange energy about him, but he didn’t seem to be an ordinary person.

“I live here. Room 505.”

“Hmm…really? It’s a face I’ve never seen before…Can I see your ID?”

“Uh…I don’t have anything right now. As you can see, it came straight from the hospital.”

“…Then let’s go up together.”

“…Ha. Yes.”

I went up the elevator accompanied by a security guard and stood in front of room 505.

“……”

This is still my home, right? They probably didn’t arbitrarily dispose of it or do something like that because it had been dormant for twenty years, right? Oh, no way…Is that true since the house is in my name?

Beep beep beep beep. Beep~ Clap.

Fortunately, when I entered the number from twenty years ago, the door opened with a cheerful sound.

“Oops, sorry for doubting you. Now that I think about it, I thought no one lived in room 505… but there was an owner?”

“Ahaha. It’s worth it. Well then, good luck.”

“Yes. You were very rude.”

He bowed to me even though I was much younger than him.

Well, he is a man with a strong work ethic.

The inside of the house was surprisingly clean. There were no traces of me being attacked…such as blood stains…except for the fact that there was a lot of dust, it was similar to before I went to Outline.

“Phew…Okay then.”

Before eating, let’s summon the collected characters first.
