episode_0018

Originally I was going to put it in episode 2.

But if you keep doing that, you’ll start to run into bricks starting from episode 2.

No. It’s the Great Wall of China.

That is why I would like to briefly touch on this this time.

As previously described, there are two main types of gates.

A gate that leads to another place and a monster gate where monsters appear.

If you divide those gates into more detail, there are two types.

One is that it happens randomly and suddenly.

Another way is to move by specifying coordinates on a fixed gate.

For random gates, currently only Monster Gates exist.

This is one of the main reasons why South Korea, despite its strong firepower, was trampled by monsters in the past.

There is no attack more threatening than a surprise attack by an enemy whose location cannot be determined.

That too, almost to infinity.

However, things are a little different now.

Random gates have the characteristic of emitting a unique wavelength about 20 minutes before they occur.

This feature is utilized.

A government-affiliated entity capable of detecting waves detects them and uses communication methods to determine and relay their location.

From this point on, we can see that the counterattack against the monsters has begun again.

On the other hand, the way coordinates are specified in fixed gates is a little different in nature.

This is a method of temporarily forming a gate by specifying coordinates using the magical power of certain people.

Those specific people are obviously a minority.

Instead of being called by the nickname ‘Irishimasse!’ to differentiate themselves, they went around calling themselves ‘Gate Creators!’

So far so good.

Anyway, we registered them with the government and used them whenever necessary.

However, it is said that human greed is endless.

Those with the ability to create gates have increasingly been suddenly striking without warning at critical moments.

Of course, it was a selfish act only for their own benefit.

At that time, there was a post on an anonymous community of people with gate creation abilities.

– Car5Gate: Let’s just stop the gate service we provide for just one week. Will the government come to its senses?

– Can’t throw away the gate: How hard is it to open the gate? Not only can they not be considerate of us, but they also prevent us from watching YouTube every time we open it.

– HOXY: Are you curious? If you’re curious, try making it yourself. You idiots.

N ㅇㅇ(61.110.219.59): Alright. I’ll go. Wait.

So I made it real.

I heard that the scariest Korean government is the one that works hard.

We closely analyzed existing fixed gates by grinding out the existing ones from all over the country.

As a result, what was created was none other than an artificial gate that anyone could use.

Unlike existing gates, anyone with magical powers could designate the gate’s coordinates.

It was a government that already had its hands full with those with the ability to create gates.

Of course, it didn’t end there.

Artificial gates have become widespread throughout the country.

By the time the government came to its senses and stopped the rampage, the situation had already spread further than Lotteria.

Jobs for those with gate creation capabilities are slowly starting to disappear.

Here is the Hwalongjeomjeong.

The bill passed quickly to ban the indiscriminate use of gate-creating abilities by those with the ability.

And they forced them to be hired as civil servants who were treated worse than Grade 9.

If rejected, account will be suspended.

If there was a risk of escape, they would arrest them.

This whole process didn’t even take a few months.

Why are you suddenly saying this?

That’s because a gate has been created in the middle of the training ground right now.

***

Midterm exam.

That fucking noise wherever you go.

Even the Academy couldn’t avoid it.

Unlike other grades, first-year students must also take a theory test.

Theory 2: Practice Ratio: Approximately 8.

‘Why is the score ratio so bad when you’re just fucking around with the theory?’

But there are still two weeks left.

Enough is enough.

After all, midterm exams are something you prepare for starting the day before.

So today, as usual, I was doing practical training.

Of course, the opponent is Professor Pil-Yong.

“Mr. Kim! Avoid it!”

“Hey, damn, your conscience is as small as a hair on your head.”

“You son of a bitch!”

At that moment, something strange happened.

Suddenly, in the center of the training ground, the space began to ripple and a mist rose up.

After a while, a huge blue gate appeared there.

Everyone who saw it did the same thing.

Checking to see if there is an emergency text message on the phone.

But there were no disaster texts.

‘Someone came through the coordinate designation.’

There is no artificial gate here either.

But who opened the gate here by specifying coordinates?

Just by looking at him, he can tell that he is either an academy award recipient or a high-ranking official who came to watch while bored.

But I question whether this place is worth it now.

That’s because everything here is either a joke or a joke.

I wondered if they had come to see the talent show of the low-tier people.

‘Well, shit fights are pretty fun.’

At that moment, a huge figure of similar size slowly began to walk out of the gate.

Approximate height: 4 m. Body length: 8 m.

Snow-white fur and a silvery tail and mane.

Blue eyes with a cold, expectant look.

A single thick, sharp horn with small scars engraved on it.

Yes, that’s right.

It was a unicorn.

No one in the arena opened their mouths at the appearance of the unicorn.

Perhaps it was the presence emanating faintly from the unicorn’s body that made it silent.

There were people who were just quietly fixing their gazes on the unicorn.

I wasn’t much different.

However, there is a difference.

‘Fuck. Even a horse can regress, so why can’t I?’

My gaze was fixed on the unicorn’s head.

To be exact, the number above the unicorn’s head.

These are numbers that prove that you can return.

Regardless of my feelings, the unicorn slowly tilted its head.

He was acting as if something was strange.

After a while, a sound began to be heard from the unicorn.

[I’m sure I entered the coordinates correctly.]

As soon as he finished speaking, another unicorn rushed out from the gate.

It was a little smaller in build, and its tail and mane were closer to white than silver.

But outwardly, it was definitely a unicorn.

The unicorn, breathing heavily, urgently transmitted the message to the unicorn that appeared first.

[Dear Unicorn!!! Sorry! The coordinates are wrong!]

[You’ve never failed before, what’s going on?]

[I calculated the spatial distance that the elves told me and entered the coordinates, but there was a problem.]

[What’s the problem?]

The Unicorn has a look of both interest and puzzlement on its face.

Questions as to why it failed.

And the interest in why someone who never made a mistake made a mistake.

The unicorn spat out a voice with a slightly gloomy face.

[The spatial distance unit was given as yards, not meters.]

[Oh, my. There’s nothing I can do. Go back quickly.]

And so the conversation between the great unicorn and the unicorn ended.

Was it because I was too focused on the conversation? Or was it because of a sudden variable that I couldn’t think of it?

The Unicorn finally confirmed that there were people around him.

The Great Unicorn slowly turned its head and began to look around, as if trying to take in the current scene with both eyes before turning back.

That was for a while.

The number above the unicorn’s head went up by one.

‘What did you see that made you return?’

Suddenly, the appearance of the great unicorn changed.

The calm and gentle appearance from just a moment ago was nowhere to be found, and he began to tremble and breathe heavily.

A moment when you start to question the sudden change.

In an instant, the Great Unicorn disappeared.

“Gyah!!!”

“Eww!!!”

As soon as the Great Unicorn disappeared, a scream was suddenly heard.

The scream was heard from a training ground located a little away from the gate.

The horn of the Great Unicorn was pierced by the screaming protagonists.

One boy and one girl.

But as if these acts were nothing, the great unicorn calmly shook the man and woman off its horn.

Only then did others turn their attention to the Great Unicorn.

It wasn’t a gaze that had followed the movement a moment ago.

It was only after hearing the screams that the people’s gazes began to move.

While people’s gazes turned to shock and fear, the Great Unicorn roared with bloodshot eyes.

[Brothers!!!!!! Cleanse this ugly and dirty place!!!!!!]

The gate began to shake violently, incomparably to a moment ago.

Soon after, unicorns of slightly smaller bodies poured out.

It was the emergence of the Unicorn Army.

Although they were all smaller than the giant unicorn, their reactions were similar.

It was a legion of unicorns who began to tremble and breathe heavily, just like the Great Unicorn had done.

Finally, the great unicorn shouted loudly.

[Everyone, purify this place with virgin slayers!!!!!]

[[[[[[[[Purify!!!!!!!]]]]]]]]

All the unicorns scattered at the same time and began to move around the training grounds.

A relatively slow speed compared to the previous unicorn.

But, for those watching, it happens fast enough.

The once peaceful training ground became a mess in an instant.

[You who do not cherish virgins! Repent!]

[You say you’ve lost sympathy? I’ll cut off that asshole too!!!!!]

[This dirty place will become even uglier! We will condemn it before it becomes even uglier!!!]

[The heroine’s virginity is more precious than life!!!]

A disaster that struck suddenly.

The students had no idea how to deal with this disaster.

The only choice was a brutal escape.

However, a large number of students have already fallen victim to the unicorn’s horn.

“Save me!!!!! Why are you acting like this right after I took Ada off the day before yesterday!!”

“Hey! Why do you blame me!!! Honestly, you liked it too!!! Heuk!!!”

“I’m innocent!! I even regenerated my hymen with body regeneration!!! Gosh!!!”

“Fuck! I never did it! What? You’re not a sympathizer anymore?…What are you talking about?”

“Family loss, techaaat!!!!”

“I only went backwards!!! I haven’t gone forward yet!!! Kkiyaak!!!”

In an instant, blood began to spurt out all over the training ground.

If the training system is turned off, the wound will return to its original state.

That doesn’t mean there is no pain though.

It was only natural that many students would lose consciousness due to the pain.

It seems like every Christmas there are people with gunshot wounds in front of the motel.

Those kids were the culprits.

But I guess he was a former hunter after all.

Professor Phil Yong was hurriedly evacuating the students.

It was Professor Pil-Yong who confronted the approaching Unicorn.

“Research student candidates! No, what are you doing to the students!”

In an instant, numerous icebergs formed, restricting the movement of the great unicorn.

At the same time, Professor Phil Yong fired a sharp chunk of ice he had created in the air.

[You’re being ridiculous!]

“Khak!”

As the Unicorn said, it was a fool’s errand.

The rushing ice hit the Great Unicorn directly, but it didn’t even hurt.

Instead, the Great Unicorn, which had been fiercely charging forward despite being hit by all the attacks, pierced Professor Phil Yong’s heart with its sharp horn.

It was a great unicorn that mechanically shook off Professor Pil-Yong, who had been giving short lectures.

He turned his gaze to find another prey, and this time his eyes met mine.

Soon, the great unicorn began to slowly approach me while glaring at me.

‘Fuck, how can I catch it if I can’t even see it?’

Among the risk levels of organisms registered by the government, unicorns are at the alert level.

They are very aggressive depending on the situation, and when engaged, they fight with all their might without fear of getting hurt.

Until all the sparks of life are ignited.

That belligerence is a double-edged sword.

Even if it means self-destruction, a small country can still achieve Donggwijin.

That means they fight without regard to water or fire.

But there is a reason why it is only a borderline level.

The fact that it is a sapient being that can speak. The fact that its attacks are very direct and simple.

The fact that he is so friendly to certain people that he will give them everything.

of course,

‘That’s not even worth fucking dealing with.’

The unicorn in front of me seemed to be an exception.

It wasn’t even at the borderline level.

Before I knew it, a giant unicorn had appeared in front of me.

The great unicorn stopped moving and started to look at me quietly.

I felt uncomfortable with that gaze, so I glanced around.

Perhaps that’s a blessing in disguise.

Thanks to Professor Pil-Yong’s quick response, a considerable number of students were able to evacuate far away from the training grounds.

‘Did Hyeji dodge well?’

The moment I started to question, I happened to see Hyeji taking refuge in the distance.

It was also the farthest from the gate, and the unicorns didn’t seem to be interested in that area in the first place.

Seeing that sight gave me a little sense of relief.

Of course, it didn’t last long.

Before I knew it, there were dozens of unicorns surrounding me.

The hands holding the longsword and shotgun begin to tremble under the pressure.

‘Today’s lunch is horse meat, you motherfuckers.’

I tried to calm my mind and suppress the fear that was rising in me.

The moment I was about to rush in as soon as the shaking in my hands subsided.

[This can’t be…this is…]

The red number above the unicorn’s head went up by one.

He immediately lowered his head and knelt down.

Not me, but the unicorn.

I questioned the sudden situation.

‘What is it? What is it? What is it?’

But the strange phenomenon did not stop.

The rest of the unicorns around them all began to kneel and bow their heads.

A lot of hooks come to mind.

At that moment.

[Oh, noble soul.]

“……Huh?”

The great unicorn transmitted a message to me.

In a soft tone, without any of the anger or disgust from earlier.

[A being of splendid purity and pure white.]

“Yes?”

I once again question the sudden announcement of the Great Unicorn.

But what followed was even more unbelievable.

[You are our king.]

[[[[[[[[You are the King!!!!!]]]]]]]]

“…What the heck?”

The thunderous roar of the unicorn legions echoed majestically throughout the training grounds.

Everyone was silent at that sight.

The students who were making a fuss. The other professors who came to help suppress the situation. Even the faculty members who were helping them.

Everyone was giving me strange looks.

Don’t see everyone like that, chews.

I’m the most shocked right now.

I started to stutter at the sudden sound.

“What…does that mean?”

[You have the most beautiful soul I have ever seen in my life.]

“What did I do to deserve such a beautiful soul?”

[This old man can see a glimpse of someone’s life.]

The sound of catching clouds suddenly started.

The Unicorn raised its head, fixed its gaze on me, and continued speaking.

[But your life was a brilliant light itself.]

“……Me?”

[His appearance of living without any contact with any woman was like that of a saint.]

[[[[[[[[You are a saint!!!!!!]]]]]]]]

“Fuck. Just stop for a second.”

Suddenly I felt strange.

I quickly stopped him because I felt like I shouldn’t talk any more.

But it was the sound of the unstoppable unicorn.

[The path of sympathy, like a thorny path you chose in a dark world. I was very impressed when I saw it.]

◦ ◦ I did not choose this fuck.

The tension from before disappeared, and a feeling of shit slowly began to build up.

But as if he wasn’t even listening to me, the Unicorn continued speaking.

[Such a noble soul is not worthy to be our king… No! We must make him our king!]

[[[[[[[[Become King!!!!!!]]]]]]]]

[Will you be the king of our unicorns? You are the god of compassion! You are the very essence!]

[[[[[[[[Oh my god!!!!!]]]]]]]]

◦ ◦ I didn’t want to be a dog!

The most fucked up thing is when the person I can’t beat opens his mouth.

That’s how it is now.

Meanwhile, the students all looked at each other with pity.

I wondered if Hyeji would look at me like that.

‘…Why do you like it? Hyeji, this is a fucking sad story.’

The type of gaze was a little different.

Either way, the unicorns’ antics have gotten worse.

[Although I had a recent encounter with a woman, it was without any selfish intentions!]

[[[[[[[[[I have no selfish intentions whatsoever!!!!!]]]]]]]]

[Your Majesty! Climb on top of this old man and show him to everyone!]

[[[[[[[[Show me!!!!!]]]]]]]]

“You guys are a bunch of little pups, why is barking passive!!!!!!!!”

Ignoring my screams, the great unicorn bowed its head as if to tell me to climb on top.

They are crazy kids.

They are some really fucking crazy kids.

I wanted to just throw it all away and go home.

Then suddenly I felt a cold gaze.

The gaze was coming from Hyeji.

‘Stop staring… I feel like I’m dying.’

I was so angry that I kicked the unicorn in the head.

No. I tried to kick it.

But suddenly my feet slipped and I ended up on top of the unicorn’s head.

‘Mommy, is nothing really going right?’

As I climbed onto its head, the Great Unicorn lifted its head and slid me onto its back.

As soon as the great unicorn rose, the other unicorns also slowly began to rise.

At that moment, the training ground system shuts down and the students who had collapsed come to their senses one by one.

The first thing that came into view of the students who had gotten up was the sight of the unicorns that had killed them.

The students were terrified at the sight, but soon calmed down and began to express questions instead.

That makes sense, since I saw you riding on the back of a giant unicorn.

The Great Unicorn let out a loud roar to attract everyone’s attention.

[Behold all you ungodly ones!!!! From now on, this is the king of our unicorns!!!!]

[[[[[[[[King of the Unicorns!!!!]]]]]]]]

[And the God of Sympathy!!!!!!]

[[[[[[[[God of Sympathy!!!!!]]]]]]]]

“Please shut up!!!!!!!!!!!”

Then suddenly, the Great Unicorn glared at the student nearby with bloodshot eyes and said.

[I grant it even to a blasphemous person like you. Shout! King of the Unicorns!]

“You…the king of unicorns..”

[Louder!!!!!]

“King of Unicorns!!!!!”

[God of Sympathy!!!!!]

“God of Sympathy!!!!!”

This time, the great unicorn raised its body by lifting its front paws while carrying me.

The hooves touched the ground again, kicking up dust.

Before the dust had even settled, the Great Unicorn began circling the arena.

Then the unicorn army followed the great unicorn.

[Everyone shout together!!!! The King of Unicorns!!!!]

[[[[[[[[King of the Unicorns!!!!!]]]]]]]]

“”””◦”◦”King of Unicorns!!!!!””◦”””◦”

[God of Sympathy!!!!!!]

[[[[[[[[God of Sympathy!!!!!!]]]]]]]

“”””””God of compassion!!!!!!””◦””””

“Please stop it, you crazy bastards.”

I didn’t cry even when I was beaten by Mr. Kang Hyuk, but this is the first time I’ve cried.

These are tears of sorrow and pain.

But it seemed to have been interpreted in a slightly different way by the Great Unicorn.

The Unicorn raised its voice even louder when it saw me shedding tears.

[The King is moved!!!!! Everyone shout louder!!!!!]

The merry-go-round lasted for five minutes.

The cheers grew louder, and the tears I shed increased proportionally.

Mom, this is fucking crazy. Seriously.

***

Right after the hellish Unicorn Parade ended.

The unicorns were preparing to return.

[Your Majesty, this old man and his foolish crowd will now leave.]

“Anywhere is fine, just don’t come back here.”

[Although it is such a dark and gloomy country, its future will be bright as long as there is a king of unicorns.]

“Please turn off.”

[Be at peace.]

[[[[[[[[Be at peace!!!!!]]]]]]]]

“Get out!!!!!!”

They were unicorns who would not listen to the end.

So the unicorns left through the newly created gate.

Teachers and staff who disappeared like ghosts as soon as the situation was over.

In the end, all that was left were the students, including me, and Professor Pil-Yong.

Professor Phil Yong scratched his head and spoke to me.

“Don’t worry too much, Shinwoo. Someday-”

“I’m leaving work early.”

“…..Okay, go and rest. I’ll tell the other professors about your attendance.”

The tear stains on his face were not erased.

Rather, the newly shed tears just flow along the same path left behind.

All the way to the dorm, tears just kept flowing.

As a side note, not long after, a meeting between the Korean government and Unicorn took place.

It was quite surprising, considering how completely unapproachable it had been in the past.

But the surprises didn’t end there.

The unicorns made extremely unconventional contracts, mentioning keywords like ‘King of Unicorns’ and ‘God of Compassion’.

The first contract was to ‘protect Korea, home to the King of Unicorns, to the greatest extent possible.’

The second contract was, ‘December 24th to 26th. No unicorns will come to Korea.’

Since the news spread, the Academy has awarded me an award.

The reason was that it contributed to peace in Korea.

So the name of the award I received was the ‘Sympathy Peace Award’.

I left work early that day too.

The academy-sized Goro-shi was a bit too painful.

My heart.

***

The day after the awards ceremony.

There really isn’t much time left until the midterms.

I too was feeling the pressure of the exam.

The moment I stepped into the classroom, the students who noticed me started to chatter.

“Look over there. The King of Unicorns is coming.”

“He’s a god! A god of compassion!”

I wanted to kill him already.

Meanwhile, someone raised a question.

“But why is that guy so pitiful?”

“Isn’t that only targeting men?”

“Oh, so that’s why you made Hyeji wear the skirt?”

“And yet, you even made Jeong Ah-yeon wear a miniskirt maid outfit.”

Somehow Hyeji’s expression became quite bad.

It seemed certain that one student would be given orders from Hyeji later.

While the students were throwing hooks at each other, someone came up with a novel idea.

“Are you not standing?”

“That could be true. Since they can’t be hit, they were naturally eliminated out of pity.”

“Then you only taught Jeong Ah-yeon as an assistant? Because you couldn’t nail her anyway?”

“I don’t stand, but I’m teaching the one I love. Isn’t this the assistant’s love?”

“See you guys at the sparring hall later, you guys who kept saying you wouldn’t do it.”

I quietly engrave the faces of the students I will later kill and beat into my mind.

And then suddenly, the anger came to me.

‘Those damn bastards are biting and sucking all kinds of things?’

You guys regress, but do you also have sex?

Life is so fucking unfair.

I’m hoping for a sex 2 scene.

Hyeji, who noticed my approach, waved her hand at me and spoke softly.

“Hello, Shinwoo. No, should I call you the God of Sympathy?”

“Please don’t do that to me too. Fuck, I really want to die.”

“You’ve already got a nickname without even becoming a hunter. Congratulations.”

“Fuck.”

Hyeji, who had been smiling brightly, suddenly made an expression as if she had remembered something.

Then, a slight anger began to appear on Hyeji’s face.

“Shinwoo, but didn’t you have any special thoughts?”

“What?”

“You didn’t have any selfish intentions?”

Somehow Hyeji’s gaze is sharp.

My heart aches because I was already hit with pity.

Hyeji’s gaze added here seemed to carve out my heart in real time.

“…No, what are you talking about.”

“Do you really have to tell me that?”

“I think you’ll understand if I tell you first?”

“Okay. I don’t need it. Stop it.”

“I’m going crazy, really.”

It was Hyeji who ended the conversation on her own.

Then Hyeji took out her cell phone and started contacting someone.

It seemed like he was trying to contact his father.

He said that since last time, he has started talking to his father little by little again.

Lately, we’ve been talking on the phone once every three days.

It’s a significant improvement over the time when there was no conversation at all.

It’s a home with a very different atmosphere from ours.

Every time my parents call, they just hear a roaming message telling them they are overseas.

Even if we do connect by chance, we disconnect immediately.

‘Fuck, treat me like a son.’

Perhaps, they were too focused on having children.

While I was thinking about a name for my sister, Hyeji spoke to me again.

“Shinwoo, the school newspaper just got updated again about you.”

“I’m already liberated. Whatever comes out doesn’t really affect me.”

“Really? Take a look.”

The school newspaper was on on the cell phone that Hyeji handed me.

At the very top was an article with the title, ‘Applause.’

The content was simple.

A picture of me riding on the back of a giant unicorn.

One short comment below.

– God of Ada

sick.

It hurts so bad.

‘Haltal is Nimi. The Lazy Bungkwon is coming in so strong.’

This piece of shit is going to get messed up in the middle of nowhere.

I’m serious.
