episode_0007

The moon dyed red.

A bleak wilderness.

And monsters wandering aimlessly.

A different world unfolds the moment you cross the booth.

Illusion magic seemed to be able to distort even space.

“Hey, Kang Ha-hwi. Tell me about your account later. I’ll send you 100,000 won.”

Seo Yi-eung, who was following me, quietly approached me and said.

The distance is a little close.

Please don’t stick to me.

I answered after increasing the distance between me and Seo Yi-eung.

“No need. Because you bought lunch.”

“No, the lunch box is not that much…”

Dutch Pay is not bad.

But he flatly refused.

I even slapped Seo Yi-eung’s hand away to pay for him, but now that I’m asking him to pay by Dutch, it’s out of character.

“···First of all, thank you. This is the first time a man spends money on me.”

It’s the first time a man gives me money.

If it was the world of my past life.

Seo Yi-eung’s statement just now must have come as a shock.

A dash of wolf-like men.

A constant barrage of gifts coming in day and night.

This is because Seo Yi-eung had an outstanding appearance, so much so that this was a daily occurrence.

Although this statement is quite understandable in a world where there are pretty girls here and there.

“That…. I’m just asking just in case, aren’t you offended by the act of a woman paying for you?”

Seo Yi-eung asked a question.

It wasn’t a misunderstanding this time.

To some extent, it is true that it is unpleasant because of trauma.

Of course, I didn’t answer honestly.

“It’s not unpleasant.”

There is no need to further aggravate the bad image.

I also don’t like the stigma of being an idiot.

He also didn’t want to be labeled as a misogynist.

Even though I am afraid of women now…

There will come a day when I can overcome my gynophobia and talk to pretty girls without any problem. certainly.

“So you’re just saying that if you receive something, you have to give something?”

“Yes.”

“You were the type of person who hated getting things.”

Seo Yi-eung narrowed the distance to me further as we talked.

This distance is too close.

The complexion becomes dark.

I was so burdened that I couldn’t hold on, so I walked sideways to increase the distance between me and Seo Yi-eung.

“Ah. Are you too attached? Sorry…”

“No.”

“······.”

“······.”

As Seo Yi-eung apologized, I also remembered something I should apologize for.

“I’m sorry too.”

“Huh…? What?”

“The thing I slapped away earlier.”

“Ah, that? It’s okay because I don’t really care.”

“Thank you.”

“Yes.”

“······.”

“······.”

The atmosphere became awkward again.

***

“Keee!”

A horrifying scream was heard.

When I turned my head, I saw a monster rushing towards us in the distance.

Appearance similar to a human.

Corrupted flesh.

Moving corpse.

Official name: Ghoul.

He was designated as an F-class monster.

‘Wow…’

This is my second time seeing a monster in person.

But I’ve come across quite a few things on the Internet.

I also saw a ghoul in a photo.

‘It looks even more terrible in person.’

Like human women.

Even monsters can manipulate magical power.

However, that does not mean that all people become beautiful girls like humans.

When you look at the picture.

A lot of the monsters looked creepy.

Of course, there were pretty humanoid monsters and cute-looking animal-type monsters.

Even if you adapt to horsepower.

Appearance evolves differently for each species.

Humans are unconditionally beautiful.

Ghouls are always ugly.

Professor Santoto’s species is unconditionally cute.

Like this.

“Keeek!!!”

The ghoul is now getting closer.

The guy jumped high into the sky with movements unbecoming of a corpse.

“You jump at something that is nothing special without even knowing the topic.”

Seo Yi-eung snorted and stretched out his right arm.

That moment.

The right arm suddenly enlarged and took on a different appearance.

Huge arms covered in dark fur.

Thick and heavy soles.

Five sharp, protruding iron-like claws.

It was a bear’s arm.

“Keeek!”

A ghoul attacking from the air.

Seo Yi-eung lightly swung his thick arm towards the guy,

Pow-!

The ghoul’s upper body burst like a balloon.

‘Wow, you’re crazy…’

I was inwardly amazed.

It wasn’t vain confidence.

She was a stronger woman than anyone could have imagined.

‘Now that I think about it, I heard that he uses magic to transform into animals.’

Only certain parts are modified…

No, it seemed like disguise was also possible.

“As expected, class F dungeons are boring.”

Seo Yi-eung returned his arm to its original shape.

Then he looked at me and asked.

“Kang Ha-hwi. Try catching one too. I paid money to come in, but it’s not like I’m just going to look around.”

“Yes.”

I nodded.

It’s a little scary though…

You can’t become a hunter if you’re scared of F-level monsters.

I had to muster up the courage to do it.

For a moment, I compared Seo Yi-eung and a ghoul in my head.

Assuming that a situation unfolds where you have to fight one of the two.

‘Still, monsters are less scary than pretty girls.’

If you’re going to fight Seo Yi-eung, it’s natural to fight a ghoul.

I overcame fear with even greater fear.

‘Let’s do it.’

I calmed down and sat down.

Then I slowly closed my eyes.

“What are you doing? Why are you suddenly sitting down?”

“You have to concentrate.”

“Focus? Oh, you said your mystery was transformation, right? I guess I need a lot of concentration because I’m not used to the ability yet.”

As Seo Yi-eung said.

I am not yet familiar with the abilities.

Therefore, transformation required a high degree of concentration.

“How long does it take to transform?”

“About 3 minutes.”

“It takes a long time.”

This too has been shortened considerably.

It took as long as an hour at first.

The 3-minute transformation time was the result of much effort and practice.

‘Well, what Seo Yi-eung said is not wrong. Even if it is shortened, it still takes a long time.’

I know that too.

There is no enemy in the world who quietly waits for transformation like in the cartoon.

Still, I wasn’t disappointed.

If you repeat your efforts endlessly.

I believe that in the future, there will come a day when I can instantly transform like Seo Yi-eung without having to concentrate.

I don’t know when that will happen.

‘···First of all, let’s put away the distracting thoughts. ‘Now I have to transform.’

I emptied my thoughts.

And I concentrated my mind.

To become an angel.

***

When you get a new body.

I knew instinctively.

That I have a mysterious power, the ability to transform into an angel.

What should I say?

It felt as if the information was imprinted on my soul.

Additionally.

When I took on the form of an angel.

I naturally realized what kind of power I could handle in my current state, and I also learned how to become stronger.

I also know how to estimate the scale of strength.

size of wings.

Or the number of wings.

By looking at these things, I was able to roughly gauge the strength of the angel.

and.

I only have one pair of wings.

It’s only about the size of a sparrow’s wing.

It was no different from a weeding angel, unable to even fly yet.

*

After waking up from meditation.

I slowly got up from my seat.

Then I lowered my head and looked down at my body.

Without a top on.

He was wearing only pants made of pure white cloth.

He wasn’t even wearing shoes.

The short hair became long and flowing, and the black hair color changed to silvery white hair.

The level of attention has also risen.

It’s because I’ve grown taller.

‘The transformation seems to have gone well.’

For your information, his face has also become more handsome.

When I looked in the mirror at home.

He looked three to four times more handsome than his usual self.

Although this may be a subjective opinion.

Just by looking at its appearance, one could feel that it was not human.

Although the basic facial features are the same.

Well, anyway.

There is still a final confirmation left.

I turned my head as far as I could and checked my back.

The wings were not in sight.

It’s not like it doesn’t exist.

It’s just so small that you can’t see it.

It was impossible to check without a mirror.

‘I was expecting it to grow bigger, but it was nowhere near it.’

It seemed like nothing had changed since the last transformation.

After confirmation.

That’s when I turned my head again.

“That kind of appearance is dangerous…”

Seo Yi-eung’s mumbling was heard.

The voice was so low I couldn’t hear it.

I looked straight at Seo Yi-eung’s face and tilted my head.

“······.”

Let’s make eye contact with me.

Seo Yi-eung is extremely embarrassed with red cheeks.

Why is it like that?

Is it because you’re not wearing a top?

It was unexpected.

Even in a world like this.

It is extremely common for men to take off their tops.

Seeing that she was embarrassed to this degree, it seemed like she wasn’t as immune to the male body as I thought.

“···Wow, when you transform, do you really look like a pervert?”

Seo Yi-eung asked, stuttering.

As I guessed, my naked body must have been a burden.

But calling him a pervert is a bit harsh.

If anyone hears it, they’ll think I’ve transformed into a barbarian man.

For now, I answered by shaking my head.

“No, why on earth are you taking off your top…”

“It’s because of the wings.”

“···Wings?”

“Looking like this now, he’s an angel.”

I turned around and turned my back on Seo Yi-eung.

If you do this, you will see a small pair of wings.

Flap flutter.

I focused on the wings and tried to move them.

“······.”

There was no particular reaction.

Feeling embarrassed, I turned around again.

And that was when I was staring at Seo Yi-eung’s face again.

‘wait for a sec···. what? ‘Nothing’s wrong?’

I noticed it too late.

The fact that right now I am looking straight into Seo Yi-eung’s eyes.

Without any tension.

I don’t feel any fear.

I didn’t feel nauseous or dizzy.

In addition, Seo Yi-eung’s gaze was focused on me, and I didn’t feel burdened at all.

‘What happened? When you’re in angel mode, does your mental power become stronger and you’re immune to trauma?’

That was the most likely.

There is no way the trauma could have been completely cured out of nowhere.

‘Now that I think about it, I’ve never encountered a woman in this state…’

To what extent has it improved?

Does gynophobia completely disappear when you become an angel?

I just wanted to confirm this.

Because I happened to have a good test subject.

“You’ve grown a lot taller than that… The face… Umm…”

Let’s try an experiment with Seo Yi-eung over there.

Is it okay to be in close proximity to a pretty girl?

One step.

Two steps.

I walked slowly.

Towards the place where Seo Yi-eung is standing.

“Well, what is it? Why are you coming…?”

Seo Yi-eung takes a step back.

Why is he running away?

Am I that burdensome about how I look now?

I don’t know why.

Since I couldn’t miss it, I accelerated my walking speed even more.

“Why are you coming…!”

Seo Yi-eung kept retreating.

A towering rock blocked her escape route.

Thanks to this, I was able to reach Seo Yi-eung.

“······.”

“······.”

The distance is close.

If you’re not careful, your nose will touch it.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden…? You said you don’t like being stuck with a woman…”

I silently stared straight into Seo Yi-eung’s light brown eyes.

Yet, my heart doesn’t stop pounding.

As well as trauma.

Even when I looked at Seo Yi-eung, I didn’t feel anything.

It was amazing.

It felt like looking at a stone.

I can’t believe I’m this fine even with a beautiful girl right in front of me.

“Please explain the reason for this…”

Seo Yi-eung’s eyes waver.

Now, Seo Yi-eung can’t meet my eyes properly.

The position was reversed from before.

anyway.

Now that the confirmation is over, I feel like I should apologize.

There was no strange intention.

I was just trying to check something.

The moment I was about to say those words and apologize.

“Ugh······.”

I saw red blood flowing down.

The source was Seo Yi-eung’s nose.

“What, what is it? Nosebleed? Are you okay?”

“Ahhhh…”

Seo Yi-eung loses focus in his eyes.

Slurp!

Soon he sat down and fainted.
