“Do you think it is right to discuss re-enlistment?”
“Wait a minute. Are you a man? Hehe, it must be an administrative error. There have been a lot of them recently.”
The Military Manpower Administration official who had just finished eating smiled warmly.
“What’s your name?”
“This is Lee Seong-han. Here is my resident registration card, discharge certificate, and medical certificate. ”
“Lee Seong-han… … Lee Seong-han. I found him. He awakened this time. The information is also printed. ”
“Yes, I’m awake. But haven’t I already completed my military service? ”
“That’s true.”
Lee Seong-han scratched the back of his head.
It is true that there has been a lot of talk recently about the military service of awakened individuals. A law requiring immediate enlistment upon awakening is also being considered.
But that doesn’t make sense.
You’re saying you’re re-enlisting because you woke up?
That’s an evil law that was used during the Great War. Is there any other country that would use it these days?
“Oh my, we’ll take care of this─”
The person in charge looked at the monitor and then stopped dead in his tracks.
“Hey! Bring the team leader. All the other kids! ”
Several people came running towards the reception desk.
“What’s going on?”
“It is said to be applied.”
About fifteen people were looking at the monitor and Lee Sung-han in turn, muttering. It was obvious that something was not normal.
‘No. It won’t be.’
Lee Seonghan’s expression darkened.
“Excuse me, Mr. Lee Seonghan?”
The person in charge spoke with a somber tone, like a patriot who had lost his country.
“… … You have to go.”
Lee Seong-han banged his head on the reception desk.
It’s the worst.
2025.
A former sergeant who was discharged from the army after serving his full term.
Current student preparing for college.
Reasonable.
27 years old.
He couldn’t believe it. Now he felt like he was finally starting to get active in the job market.
“Customer, your iced Americano is here.”
“······.”
“Guest?”
[You have awakened.]
Lee Seong-han woke up in a neighborhood cafe.
“What is it?”
“Customer. You need to get me some coffee. Excuse me?”
[You have awakened.]
“It says I’ve awakened. Just a moment.”
“Awakening? Guest. How about calculating first and then speaking?”
“Wait, wait, wait!”
I woke up right away.
I didn’t even want it.
Lee Seong-han acted as if the current situation was a hallucination.
Rub your eyes too.
“No way.”
I made some health tonics!
“Come out, boss! It’s not working!”
Even to the point of converting to religion!
“God is dead!!”
None of it was of any help.
The day of enlistment.
Lee Seong-han personally experienced the feelings of a pig being dragged to a slaughterhouse.
[『Unique Occupation』]
[ ]
[-All battles are performed automatically.]
[-You gain additional characteristics and skills each time you level up.]
[-Your superior’s favorability increases each time you prove your competence.]
[-You gain additional income each time you kill a monster.]
Yeah, I can’t die here.
I’m going back home.
Back home with a warm meal, a computer, and family!
“I’ll definitely be discharged and go back.”
[『World Quest』]
[Accumulate your achievements and be discharged.]
[Reward: Wish Fulfillment]
[If failed: permanent military service]
It was worth a try.
1.
The front line of the Republic of Korea.
Cheorwon is considered the worst place to work.
“Sergeant, when will we arrive?!”
“Be quiet. This is killing me.”
“Isn’t this forest creepy?”
“I! I saw this in Maple Story! This, this is the forest before going to Banleon.”
“I went there as a cleric.”
Lieutenant Shin Cha-yul advanced step by step through the heavy snow.
Basasasak-
Tinnitus that could be heard as the sound of a cold wind. Shin Cha-yool stopped ahead. The platoon also stopped by raising their arms. Tension flowed. There were more than one or two soldiers who were killed in a surprise attack.
He was that dangerous an enemy. The signalman narrowed his eyes and shouted.
“Front, 2 o’clock direction! Unidentified target identified! ”
The new car rate turned its muzzle. A pitch-black outline illuminated by tactical lights.
It was a big frog.
“Digging.”
“Target detected! Engage, engage! It’s a monster! ”
The platoon concentrated its firepower.
The frog jumped up in surprise and disappeared into the shadows.
Shin Cha-yool gave instructions while picking up the shells buried in the snow.
“1st Squad. Follow the platoon leader! 2nd Squad, move with Sergeant Choi in the lead. Keep in mind. If we can’t handle it by midnight and a gate break occurs, we will all be held responsible. ”
“”Loyalty!””
The soldiers moved in unison.
Naturally occurring monsters were tricky and cunning to deal with. Large-scale
The herd has a nature of not wanting to fight. So, Shinchayul split up the people and moved.
-This is Reconnaissance Team 1. We have found the target. Currently 500m ahead. 1 o’clock direction.
The scouts reported. Shin Cha-yul lay prone on the snow. He advanced slowly.
Although it was blurry because of the snow storm, a familiar silhouette was visible.
“Crawl, crawl.”
It’s a program. It’s also the target of this mission.
It is safe to say that this large monster has a huge appetite and can digest just about anything.
It was about to open its beak to eat the current Baekho armored vehicle.
I felt like I needed to put something in my mouth to feel better.
It was a pelican, just looking at what it did.
“Movement.”
The new rate of fire scattered the troops. Actively seized firing positions.
It’s exactly as the manual says. Bullets rain down along with the order to fire. It has to go through. It has to go through!
Tudadadadadada───!
“Croak, croak!”
But the program was strong.
The regular bullet bounced off like a rubber bullet.
Monsters were invaders and predators from another world.
It was impossible to kill them with conventional firearms.
The program jumped significantly.
“The target is gone. The target is gone!”
“Above!”
This is ridiculous.
“Ah.”
Shin Cha-yool straightened his head and looked up at the sky. He was an amazing guy, just in terms of his jumping ability.
“Here is Frog1. Frog1. Missed the target.”
-HQ. Confirmed. Return to the assembly point. Be careful not to widen the encirclement. That’s all.
The new car rate that came back was a headache.
If it’s a normal monster, it’s okay.
But a mutation!
It was a bolt from the blue. It was almost like a miracle to kill someone with the current equipment.
We needed a hunter. A new human being, an awakened one!
“Awakening disease!”
After much hesitation, Shin Cha-yool was given a private soldier. His rank was just wings.
He was an awakened person. Even a man! It’s rare considering that the gender ratio of the unit is 90% female.
Shin Cha-yool glanced at the awakening disease.
‘It was Lee Seong-han. His name was.’
Because the features were so clear, I remembered them clearly.
“What’s going on?”
“Can kill.”
”Wait a minute. Did the platoon leader mishear?”
“No, you can kill it.”
The barracks were in an uproar at Lee Seong-han’s confirmation.
“I will kill you.”
“That’s crazy. You’re going to catch that by yourself?”
“Yes.”
He grumbled as if the new car rate was ridiculous. He could never catch it on his own.
“Do you think it’s possible?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because I am invincible.”
“What.”
Isn’t the opponent a mutant? In other words, an ‘irregular’.
It’s a guy with strong specs. Top 1% level. It was difficult to deal with with 2nd class equipment.
‘I can’t leave it like this.’
Shin Cha-yool reluctantly nodded.
“Follow me. I will prepare the equipment for you.”
“Loyalty!”
Shin Cha-yul came out and headed to the command post. The inside of the command post was hastily built, perhaps? Snow was coming in intermittently.
The only heating was a cylindrical electric heater. Shin Cha-yul approached the tactical map and provided information.
Lee Seong-han carefully examined the materials on the table.
Irregular program. It looks similar to a regular program, but there are huge differences.
It is faster than a car, strong enough to chew up even magic bullets, and never misses a target once it has set its sights on it.
They are also intelligent enough to prey on life as a joke.
“It’s not that I don’t trust the platoon leader······But even if he’s an awakened person, it’s impossible with standard equipment.”
“Anyway, you have to see it to know whether it’s long or short. Aren’t I also an emeritus professor in the Hunter Department? ”
Lee Seong-han smiled brightly and carefully put together the reports.
“Where… … this?”
When some of the documents overlapped at a certain angle, they emitted bright light.
[Would you like to accept the ‘Special Quest’?]
‘I’ll check for you.’
[『Special Quest』]
[Recently, a monster called ‘Irregular Frog’ that has been ravaging this area has been discovered. Take care of it before it causes more damage.]
[Reward: 30,000,000 won]
[If failed: None]
Lee Seong-han killed it as if it was fun.
“I’ll fix that for you. Perfectly.”
“Really?”
“Do you know that I have served in the military once or twice?”
It was a game where you had to lose to win.
***
Lee Seong-han was walking through the forest with long strides.
With every step I took, my eyes shot up high into my head.
‘Global, global, global, global, global.’
Lee Seong-han arrived in the forest to hunt for frogs.
He sat down and looked around in a shooting position.
The dense dense trees.
The coordinates sent by the system are clearly this place.
”I’ll hold on tight and get discharged.“
Lee Seong-han laughed, revealing his true colors.
A program can be a great help in planning your global operations.
The highest level of risk among Class D.
Its own fighting power is also not to be underestimated.
What if you are a private sector or freelance hunter?
A strong enemy that occasionally causes death.
‘You get what you pay for.’
Lee Seong-han took a deep breath.
Because it can shorten the discharge period that much.
“Where are you~♩Where are you~♫”
A rational being scouting the forest while humming a song.
All I can feel are pyramids.
It must have been nearby.
Because the system can’t lie.
Basasak─
The sound of dry leaves rustling could be heard far away.
It doesn’t matter even if it’s a wild animal.
Because the program needs to catch and eat anything to satisfy its needs.
It’s okay to set a trap.
“… … Found it. My station! ”
Among the dry grass.
A program was seen chewing on the remains of an armored vehicle.
‘Should I get some more information?’
A rational person crouching under a tree.
He hid behind a tree so that he couldn’t be seen.
It was a little harsh, but it didn’t matter.
Rolling… … …
A rubber tire that dissolves in acid rolled across the snow.
A sour lemon-like scent.
It’s a strong acidic smell.
Lee Seong-han stuck out his tongue.
“You learned acid power too. First, we need to remove the acid organs in the airway.”
Lee Seong-han covered his nose and checked the plan.
Because he’s a guy who only eats picky things.
This is a law that requires intensive planning and preparation.
Lee Seong-han pulled the rifle’s loading handle.
‘Should we give it a try?’
[Do you want to activate ‘Auto Battle’?]
“Activates.”
[Activates ‘Auto Battle’.]
[All engagements are automatic.]
I felt like I had lost control of my body and lost all sensation.
[When churched, the discharge period is shortened by 12 days.]
The whole world is coming.
***
Lee Seong-han jumped out of the tree.
‘Kill. Kill. Kill!’
To be exact, my body was running on its own.
With movements and postures as precise as a machine.
“Digging!!!”
A program that stands far away and spits acid with its mouth wide open.
bang!
bang!
bang!
It was faster than most rifle bullets.
But to Lee Seong-han, it was a story that didn’t matter.
With [Auto Battle] activated, defeat was not an option.
“Coming.”
Lee Seong-han slid down to the side at just the right time.
Phew!
The acid went astray.
The program screamed as if it had not predicted this situation.
Yeah, just open your mouth a little wider.
‘We eliminate the acidic organs here.’
It’s going exactly as expected.
Lee Seong-han rolled forward sharply.
He used the recoil from standing up to throw the greatsword.
Bam───!
The root of my tongue was cut off by a dagger.
The attached acid organ is also included.
Fell in the snow.
It made a big puff of smoke and melted the surrounding snow.
“Oh my god!”
The frog rolled its tongue in pain.
But it’s already too late.
‘It’s now.’
Lee Seong-han checks the gap.
I quickly took up my position.
Take out your rifle and put it on.
Clink, tada-dang───!
Fires in rapid succession.
The recoil was greatly reduced.
Pavabak!!!
The bullet pierced Frog’s eyeball.
The bullets that penetrated the tree struck the opposite tree in succession.
“K, keueeek!”
A program that lost its eyes and mouth went wild.
The snow flakes on the ground scattered.
Outburst pattern.
‘It’s the last one.’
Lee Seong-han ran through the snowy field with his body bent over.
sudden!
I jumped up and climbed onto the frog. A terrible stench rose up.
“Die nicely! Give me a shorter service period!”
Lee Seong-han skillfully pulled out his greatsword during the pants dance.
He thrust his greatsword into the frog’s skull.
Pushuuu!
Orange blood bursts out as soon as you stab it.
The brain part was ripening.
“You did a good job asking for it from above.”
Lee Seong-han wiped the blood off his arm.
[Military Magic Stone Sword (A)]
– A greatsword made by sharply cutting a magic stone. It shows excellent performance in any situation.
“Are you dead?”
The frog stopped struggling as it filled its brain with fluid.
“This is the awakening disease. Individual treatment complete.“
-Oh, crazy. I really caught that!
“I told you so, Captain. You know I’ll shorten your discharge period, right?“
-I know! I’ll write the paperwork for you right away.
Lee Seong-han pulled out the greatsword that was embedded in his skull.
“Oh, this is expensive.”
Only then did the program collapse, as if it had lost all its energy.
[You have completed the ‘Special Quest’.]
[Settle the profits.]
[+30,000,000 won]
…
…
…
[Accumulates favorability toward new targets.]
[Accumulates favorability toward new targets.]
[Accumulates favorability toward new targets.]
“Oh my.”
Something is seriously wrong.
