Hyeonbeom Kwon, who was traveling in Sweden, tapped his cell phone.

This is because there is an application that I have never seen before.

The app icon was simple. There was a rope bridge on a pure white background.

Tap tap.

Even when I press the app, nothing happens.

“What? I just bought it.”

I sighed and nervously pressed the button hard, and only then did the app launch.

A round loading bar appeared on a black background.

Hyeonbeom laughed as the loading time took longer than expected and raised his head.

Clear skies, cool breezes and calm seas. Moving background.

Hyeonbeom was on a cruise ship.

“Hmm?”

After looking at the sky for a moment, I lowered my head and a woman caught my eye.

He has dark hair that is different from the people around him, and a very familiar face even though he is in a foreign country.

No matter how you look at it, he was a Korean like Hyeonbeom.

“Your expression is serious.”

The woman had a sad, dead face.

Hyeonbeom knows that expression well. Because it was the expression he made when his parents died.

“I hope this trip gets better.”

When Hyeonbeom laid eyes on the woman, he turned his eyes to his cell phone.

Before we knew it, loading was finished.

[Run the swinging bridge app.]

“Swinging bridge app? Are you talking about the swing bridge effect?”

Swinging bridge effect. It was a psychological effect that Hyeon-beom, who felt attracted to people who were with him in a crisis, was also aware of.

Hyeonbeom just closed the app and tried to delete it even though he didn’t download it.

[Wearing a life jacket is recommended.]

Hyeonbeom, who was moving his finger to delete, stopped.

‘what. ‘Did my phone become a hologram?’

The text did not appear on the phone screen. It appeared like a hologram outside the phone, in the air.

I closed my eyes tightly and opened them. I opened my eyes after rubbing them with my hands.

Nevertheless, the letters floating in the air did not disappear.

‘Is it a dream?’

[Wearing a life jacket is recommended.]

No matter how much I liked games, it wasn’t enough to fantasize about them.

[Wearing a life jacket is recommended.]

[Wearing a life jacket is recommended.]

[Wearing a life jacket is recommended.]

The text started blinking.

As if we had to hurry.

‘Because you don’t lose anything by wearing a life jacket…’

Hyeonbeom decided to do as the text said in a game-like situation.

Although I looked around and saw no one wearing a life jacket, I felt a little embarrassed, but Hyeonbeom went to the place where life jackets were placed on the cruise ship.

Hyeonbeom immediately put on his life jacket and looked at his cell phone.

Then the hologram text changed.

[It is recommended to bring one more.]

‘okay okay.’

Hyeonbeom took another life jacket and picked up his cell phone.

The hologram text disappeared.

Instead, there were various things written on the phone.

[Swinging bridge app]

[We must prevent the ‘death’ and ‘suicide’ of talented women.]

[In order to prevent it smoothly, each time you are given a ‘talent’ that suits the situation.]

[The first ‘talent’ is ‘swimming.’]

‘It’s so real…? wait for a sec.’

As if this wasn’t a fantasy or a game, the thought of how to swim came to Hyeonbeom’s mind.

Hyeonbeom had never learned how to swim. But now I feel confident that I can at least swim enough to save my life.

My mind started to get complicated.

‘Could it be that woman?’

I remember this because it was a Korean woman I saw overseas and she had a dead look of despair on her face.

A woman who looked dangerous.

Thinking about it now, it wouldn’t be surprising if he committed suicide.

The first phrase explained in the app.

It is said that women’s deaths and suicides must be prevented.

The hologram told me to wear a life jacket and to take one more.

Lastly, knowledge about swimming.

“Damn it!”

Although he didn’t say it exactly, Hyun-beom realized that the woman he was talking about on the Shaking Bridge app was clearly the Korean woman.

Hyeonbeom quickly turned around and ran to where the Korean woman he had seen earlier was.

Coo!

My body shook as my vision blurred.

“Ugh! What, what?”

As the cruise ship shook violently, Hyeonbeom almost fell.

I quickly regained my balance and tried to get out.

However, the entrance to the deck was full of people.

The sight of people rushing in.

‘What’s going on?’

Hyeonbeom managed to get out after struggling to separate the frantic people.

“Why is it so darkㅡ”

I raised my head as the rain hit my body and the vision became dark.

Doesn’t the sky, which was infinitely clear just a moment ago, mean that the world is coming to an end? It was dark enough to make you want to see it.

It wasn’t evening. The time is now around 2 PM. Time when the sun should still be out.

Rumbling!

“Is it a storm!?”

Starting with the warning sound that was only then heard, announcements were being made urgently.

Although I couldn’t hear it properly due to the screams of people in emergency and the sound of lightning, it was an announcement telling me to quickly put on a life jacket or come inside from the deck.

‘Is this why you were told to wear a life jacket!?’

I simply thought a Korean woman was trying to commit suicide by falling overboard.

The pitch-black sky flashed with lightning, the wind was so strong that I couldn’t stand, and it started to rain so hard that it hurt.

At the entrance inside, people were already confused. They are making a fuss about going in first.

It seemed impossible to go back inside.

A cruise ship rocking violently.

“Tsk!”

When Hyeonbeom tried to slip, he held on to the rope next to him and held on.

A situation where it is difficult to even open your eyes.

I looked around urgently and saw a person lying down in the distance.

“There it is!”

Crrr!!!

“Tsk!”

Hyeonbeom reflexively lowered his head.

“This is crazy.”

A cruise ship rocked violently by strong waves. Heavy rain that made it difficult to open my eyes. Wind that shook my body and thunder that felt like the world was splitting apart.

It was definitely no ordinary storm.

But I couldn’t run away. We have to save the woman.

Shaking bridge app.

I don’t know why the app was installed and if I expected this, but all I did now was save a woman who was in danger of dying.

What reason do you need to save someone?

Hyeonbeom arrives in front of the fallen woman.

I checked the status.

A woman who appears to have no injuries.

Fortunately, it seemed like he just passed out.

‘Did you slip and hit your head?’

In preparation for any unexpected incident, he put a life jacket on the woman and put her on his back.

The announcement seemed to be loud, but I couldn’t hear it clearly over the noise of the storm.

The ushers tried to organize the people by shouting loudly, but it was no use.

People slipped and fell on the rocking cruise ship, and it was literally chaos.

‘shit. ‘Where should I go in?’

It was already difficult to even stand, and since I was carrying one person, my stamina was quickly disappearing.

Coo!

“Aaaa!!!”

“Crazy!”

A cruise ship pulling sideways. The momentum was on a different level from before.

‘This is over…!’

Hyeonbeom, who felt that the boat was capsizing, quickly thought about what to do.

But who knew this would happen? The moment Hyunbeom bites his lip with his teeth, he feels death.

[We recommend jumping into the sea.]

I’m not even holding my phone, but I see the text right in front of me.

Hyeonbeom jumped into the sea without a single hesitation.

Hyeonbeom fell into the sea, entered the water, and was pulled out of the sea using a life jacket.

The shock of falling into the sea on a high cruise ship was greater than I expected and I almost lost my mind.

‘female!’

I urgently turned my head towards the woman I couldn’t feel behind me.

A woman trying to drift away.

Hyeonbeom swam quickly, grabbed the woman, and tied her to his lifejacket with the string on the lifejacket.

‘What should I do now!?’

“Wow!”

A strong wave crashed over Hyeonbeom and shocked him, making it difficult for him to come to his senses.

‘Damn, what is this after traveling abroad…!’

After I was discharged from the military, I traveled overseas using the money I saved from the military.

He came as soon as he was discharged from the military to console himself from the loss of his parents while in the military.

But now a storm that you only see in movies appears and hits the cruise ship.

Obviously, the weather today was very sunny and there was 0% chance of rain.

The cruise ship is already half overturned. People who were not even wearing life jackets began falling from the cruise ship.

‘I can’t save it.’

Hyeonbeom knows. That we can’t save those people now. No, in the first place, he was doubtful whether he could survive.

The good news is that he was wearing a life jacket.

The problem is that there is nothing else we can do in the current situation.

No matter how much you wear a life jacket, it is questionable whether it is of any use in a storm of this magnitude.

The waves continued to cover Hyeon-beom and the woman, and each time, Hyeon-beom lost his mind with evil.

Water keeps entering my mouth and my body becomes cold due to the strong waves. Physical strength and spirit disappear exponentially.

If things continued like this without doing anything, it was only a matter of time before I died.

‘shit. ‘There’s nothing you can do!’

In a situation where there was no way to survive, it was already dark, but Hyeonbeom’s vision became even darker.

Hyeonbeom turned his head back.

A huge wave, the kind you only see in disaster movies, was approaching.

A wave that made me wonder if there could be such a big wave in this world.

Anyone could clearly see that such a wave was coming to hit Hyeonbeom. No, he was coming to kill me.

“Damnㅡ”
