Episode.18 First nerf

Passs -.

Now, like Chaewon, my existence has disappeared from the glass world.

Because I used invisibility, my body was no longer visible anywhere reflected in the glass.

‘ruler. Now the problem is how to get into that room.’

【what? Where have you been? Am I sitting on an invisible chair right now? I can touch it.】

Chaewon was amazed as she touched my hair.

I put my hand on the glass wall to see if it would happen, but it didn’t turn into a soul.

Unfortunately, because only the body became transparent, it did not penetrate the wall.

【uh? Someone got off the elevator carrying a suspicious-looking box!】

I listened to Chaewon and moved my gaze toward the elevator.

From the side of the elevator, a woman wearing an all-black suit and pants came in.

– Knock. Knock. Knock

Without hesitation, the woman walked past me and knocked to enter the office room where my ex-girlfriend, Yena, was.

He seems to be at least a level B or higher.

– “What’s going on?”

As soon as the woman knocked, a voice I hadn’t heard in a long time came from inside the room.

“Yena, I received the item.”

– “.. Come in quickly.”

The woman is trying to open the door.

This was clearly a golden opportunity for me.

I stayed close behind the woman and kept my distance so that our bodies did not touch.

– Crash.

And when the door opened slightly.

He quickly bends down and passes between the woman’s arms.

【Wow! Someone else’s arm penetrated my body. I hate this feeling. I’m not used to it…】

As soon as I entered the office room, I immediately pressed myself against the wall.

To prevent any unexpected physical contact.

If you get caught, it’s only a matter of time before you get really screwed.

Yena Lee is S-class.

Even just that bitch is doomed to death if you get caught, and to make matters worse, even the person carrying the box is B-class.

For now, it’s best to stay calm.

My intelligence stat is now 5.

‘The invisibility is now 5 minutes times the intelligence stat, so I guess I can last for about 25 minutes..’

I think the woman holding the white box who opened the door for me earlier was a secretary.

Now that I look at it, it looks just like a secretary.

“It’s milk, right?”

“Yes.”

The secretary handed the white box he was holding to Yena.

Yena, who received the box, placed the white box on the desk without saying a word.

And the item taken out of the mysterious white box was…

【Note, syringe?】

‘what..? Did he have any pain? Did you say it was milk?’

“Secretary Yang. Tell me about an incident that happened while I was asleep.”

“Yes, Yena. First of all, the accident I will explain is an accident that occurred at a D-class raid party.”

“What? Are you saying that an accident that occurred at a D or D-rank raid party became a hot topic?”

‘Just D grade..’

A woman called Secretary Yang explained an accident that occurred at a D-class raid party.

That accident was the accident that led to me getting the system.

To me, it was more of a blessing than an accident.

“Okay… D-rank raid party is A-rank. No, it’s probably impossible to clear a gate that boasts a higher level.”

Yena seemed to think for a moment.

“Secretary Yang, how many people died?”

“You may be surprised to hear this, but the information I received showed that it was only one person.”

In fact, there were no deaths.

That’s because those men arbitrarily thought I was dead and reported me dead.

But that’s actually a good thing.

This is because it has become easier to forge my identity.

Kim Seo-yoon is the best hacker I know.

Although I only know one hacker.

No one knows me because she completely falsified my identity.

There is also the effect of the potion that changes the face.

“One death? I managed to get out alive. If the awakened level is only D, then so be it.”

In times like these, you need to remain calm.

The more you rush, the easier it is to get things wrong.

The more urgent you are, the more you go back. It is not for nothing that the saying exists.

“So. What is the identity of the deceased?”

“Yes, the information is provided briefly. Would you like me to show you?”

Secretary Yang said as he took out the USB.

“No. Okay, just explain it in words.”

Yena waved her hand and supported her head with her free hand as if she had a headache.

“Yes. The name of the deceased is Han Si-woo. Male 21 years old. I think I worked as a hunter in the country instead of going to the military in a D-level dealer position.”

“What..?”

“But I am not part of the association..”

“.. Now that’s enough, just leave.”

Secretary Yang nodded quietly and left the room.

– Boom.

– gulp.

As the door closed tightly, I swallowed nervously without realizing it.

“Han Si-woo… were you destined to die in such a ridiculous way?”

Yena was looking out the window.

From this guild, you can see the square where the fountain of the day is located.

When I heard her talking to herself, old thoughts automatically came to mind.

– click.

After that, Yena locked the door that was the only way in and out of the room.

Two people in this secret room.

Now, there are only two intelligent lifeforms alive in this space, me and Jena.

– Rustling.

Yena rummaged through the white box placed on the desk.

After that, he took something out of the box and filled the syringe.

“I can’t stay asleep for a long time now, so I guess I’ll have to be satisfied with a syringe..?”

Yena sat down in her office chair.

I made myself comfortable and raised my head up to the sky.

After sitting down, she immediately picked up the syringe, inserted it into her vein, and pushed the needle into her vein.

‘Is it some kind of drug?’

The drug, which seemed to be administered gradually, eventually entered the body.

Red blood quickly took up the space where the hastily drawn needle came out.

【What.. are you taking my medicine?】

After about 30 seconds, Yena completely closed her eyes and appeared to be on the verge of losing consciousness.

I saw that and slowly walked to where the white box was.

Inside was black plastic.

I took out the black plastic and checked its contents.

The contents were drugs.

To be exact, it is a medical drug called propofol.

Propofol is a general anesthetic that acts quickly and for a short period of time and has minimal side effects during simple surgeries, so it has been used in the medical field.

However, it is illegal to misuse propofol in private.

Additionally, it can become addictive if misused.

‘.. From the looks of it, it looks like I’m already addicted.’

Propofol is a white liquid that looks like milk.

‘That’s why I asked you about milk earlier.’

【It’s a milk injection.】

Jena, who went under voluntary anesthesia, was truly a heaven-sent opportunity for me.

Things seem to be going really well today.

I approached Yena.

As I got closer, Yena’s neck caught my eye.

I stared at her neck.

I immediately wrapped my hands around Jena’s neck in an attempt to strangle her.

As I wrapped my hands around Jena’s neck, I could feel her slow pulse.

【uh? What are you doing?!】

I could have killed Jena right here, but that’s it.

That’s not what I wanted.

If you kill her now, she will be under anesthesia and will not feel any pain.

Rather, it is like offering a comfortable death.

And when the autopsy finds my mark on her neck, I won’t be able to avoid being harmed either.

Rather than taking such a difficult path, I thought at first.

Able to continuously strangle her for a long time.

It’s not like you can’t breathe for a moment and die like you do now.

I want you to die slowly in my increasingly tight grip.

‘Nerf.’

– Tiring!

[The awakening ability of ‘Yena Lee’, the entity currently in physical contact, gradually weakens over time.]

[Do you agree with this?]

[Yes] / [No]

When this ability was first granted to me, these options were presented before my eyes.

One thing is certain.

‘Yes.’

This Easy Choice option always brings benefits to me.

– Tiring!

[Content applies.]

[The ability to reawaken will be completely exhausted within the next year.]

Personal matters are over.

You might think it was bland than you thought.

But ‘nerf’ is not everything.

Like a deadly poison seeping into the body, the effect will become stronger over time, leaving people devastated.

And what makes her even more miserable is losing her abilities.

my growth.

‘I’m looking forward to it.’

I shook off my hands and started searching through the drawers of Jena’s desk, where she was anesthetized.

‘I’m sure there was something I had to do that required checking the ledgers.’

【Can’t you just go to the guild lobby and ask for it?】

Chaewon is right.

‘You’re right, but I’m too lazy to look for it here.’

【No, why would he have the Gate Clear ledger?】

‘Think about it carefully. He also has a secretary, so he must be an executive-level position. If you’re an executive in a guild, there’s no way you don’t have a ledger.’

【is it?】

‘uh? Is this it?’

After searching for a while, I finally found one document.

After taking a quick look, it appears to be a ledger containing various information.

I was going to take this and leave.

【Hey! wait for a sec!】

‘What else?’

【You look like there are only document files floating in the air on the glass!】

‘I see.’

Then how did the sword I’m wearing behind me become transparent?

What about the clothes I’m wearing?

【I don’t know how you became transparent, but perhaps when you become invisible, what you are carrying or wearing also becomes transparent?】

‘is it? Anyway, it seems like the invisibility is slowly going away. What should I do?’

【Leave it to me.】

‘how?’

【First, give me those documents.】

I handed the documents to Chaewon.

As soon as Chaewon received the documents, she crumpled them up with the cloth that was wrapping her sword.

【ruler. If you do this, you will no longer be visible to other people!】

‘How did you really do it?’

This isn’t some kind of Potter invisibility cloak.

I immediately opened the door and went out.

Fortunately, no one seemed to have seen this door open.

【Now, let’s go outside quickly!】

I pressed the button to let the elevator slide down when no one was around.

The more I used my invisibility ability, the more I felt like I was committing a crime.

Perhaps because the elevator was on the 30th floor, I arrived shortly after pressing the down button.

I pressed the button to go to the lobby.

Self Spa -.

As soon as the elevator door closed, the invisibility was lifted.

The shape of my body returned, as if time had turned back.

【But there is CCTV in the elevator.】

‘Oh shit.’

**********

I arrived at the lobby hoping everything was okay.

I found Harin standing in the lobby holding something.

I was so happy that I ran towards Harin.

To also give me the ledger I secretly brought.

‘But I guess it’s meaningless since I can’t see anyway.’

【uh? Hey, is that what that woman is holding…】

As soon as I saw the object Harin was holding, my thoughts seemed to freeze.

What she’s holding.

It was a white box.
