Chapter Index

    Seoullo (1) ― Incheon Gongseong High School main gate

    Park Jin-heon crossed the barricade surrounding the school gate with a light hop.

    The playground of my alma mater arrived exactly one week later.

    I clicked my tongue while looking at the two zombies wandering around there.

    I checked the rooftop, keeping an eye on the guys who couldn’t stay still for a moment and were walking slowly around.

    Kim Hae-il, who was always there observing the surroundings with a telescope, was also nowhere to be seen.

    Originally, it was normal to just wave your hand hard at yourself.

    ‘Did you hide inside because of the zombies that appeared in the playground?’

    Certainly, even a small number of zombies were dangerous for the friends remaining at school.

    When I think about it that way, Kim Hae-il’s response wasn’t bad either.

    For zombies, the most important senses for finding food are sight and hearing.

    If those monsters even developed a sense of smell… I didn’t even want to imagine it.

    I glanced at the 3rd grade class 10 classroom where my friends were hiding.

    By now, your friends will be anxiously waiting for you.

    I spent more time on Yeongjong Island than I thought.

    Getting to where the gunshots were heard wasn’t a problem.

    The movement of awakened people is so fast and efficient that ordinary people can’t even imagine.

    However, the problem came after he arrived at Yeongjong Island and met the group he was looking for.

    Dozens of ships gathered together in the sea off Yeongjong Island.

    A large group whose appearance made it look like an artificial island proposed a deal to them.

    He said that if he, an awakened person, would help recapture Incheon International Airport, he would hand over sufficient weapons and food.

    Since there was no reason to refuse, Park Jin-heon accepted the offer.

    And I witnessed an amazing world that I had never known before.

    The world they were trying to endure and overcome was a completely different world from the one in which they beat dozens of zombies to death with a baseball bat.

    Waves of human bodies constantly popping out of a collapsed and broken airliner.

    Dog-like mutants who have taken up residence in the airport and are protecting zombies.

    Gunshots rained down, and this ability flooded the entire area.

    It is not a simple battle between humans, but a siege between humans and zombies.

    At the scene of the fierce battle, Park Jin-heon proved himself to the artificial island group.

    [Harvest Lv.8]

    The only skill you have.

    The enormous potential hidden in that skill.

    [Current Awakened Harvest Stack: 278]

    The more Jinheon Park kills something, the more his ‘kill stack’ accumulates.

    And as the stack accumulates, the overall physical abilities increase.

    A skill structure that represents the end of great longevity and the return of the king.

    It was exactly the direction of growth he dreamed and aspired to.

    Therefore, ‘Mother’, the leader of the artificial island, accepted Park Jin-heon’s request.

    While the recapture war was in full swing, I was able to let my friends move into the artificial island.

    Now we have a home where we can sleep with our feet stretched out.

    He now has awakened comrades who will have his back and fight alongside him.

    In addition, the stack accumulated during the international airport recapture war.

    My body, completely different from when I left here, kicked the sand.

    widely-!

    A long afterimage of Park Jin-heon’s body was created along with a small sandstorm.

    He quickly took over the rear of the zombie that was rubbing his body against the soccer goal.

    And he vigorously swung the baseball bat he took out of his inventory.

    Whoa!

    The back of the zombie’s head, which allowed the hit, exploded with blood.

    [Current Awakened Harvest Stack: 279]

    Jinheon Park confirmed that his stack had risen and rushed to the last remaining zombie.

    widely-! widely-!

    “kkieeek―!”

    The guy who identified himself screamed at the dull sound of the impact.

    I laughed at how cute it was compared to the fear I felt during the recapture battle.

    He lashed out like a baseball bat at the face of a zombie that was running towards him and glowing brightly.

    Whoa!

    When I retrieved the bat that pierced the guy’s face, the zombie’s body collapsed.

    [Current Awakened Harvest Stack: 280]

    The person he is now is stronger than the person he was before.

    Faster and more powerful.

    I could feel it instinctively.

    If you grow steadily like this, there will be no awakened person who can challenge you.

    then…

    Park Jin-heon smiled as he thought of the face of the girl who looked like his ‘mother’, the leader of the artificial island, and an executive.

    I couldn’t hold back my excitement and erection when I thought about the faces of the girls that would be crushed beneath me.

    The leader ‘mother’ whom he briefly experienced was a quite heterogeneous person.

    They were overly picky before joining their group, but once they did, they became quite cruel.

    Just like the skill she awakened, she was a woman who was extremely altruistic and affectionate towards her family.

    That kind of character and personality would have enabled her to become the leader of a large group.

    Therefore, Park Jin-heon had no doubt that the artificial island she would create would be the most democratic group in Korea.

    So Park Jin-heon needed henchmen.

    Because I learned that the most important thing in democracy is number.

    The eyes of my friends, who only relied on me and watched my mood like a puppy, were still vivid.

    9 young men and 1 awakened person who is weak enough to not kill a single zombie.

    With them at the head, Park Jin-heon dreamed of a rosy future that would devour artificial islands.

    “That’s why I took the trouble and came back.”

    Park Jin-heon entered the new building where the third-grade classroom was located, shaking off a baseball bat covered in flesh and blood.

    He climbed the central stairs and stood in front of class 10 and stopped.

    ‘… ‘I can’t hear any breathing?’

    Plus, there were strong smells detected by his sense of smell.

    The smell of all the food mixed together made me calm down.

    Drurrr

    He slowly entered class 10, wary of his surroundings, and scanned the classroom.

    An empty classroom and food plates strewn about on the floor.

    Jjajangmyeon, sweet and sour pork, pig’s feet in it… .

    Foods that could no longer be simply tasted were thrown away.

    The answer was simple.

    “Fuck… What kind of bastard.”

    Taking advantage of his absence, another awakened person made contact with the tomboys.

    “The food alone is worth over 1000 points… ”

    A very powerful awakener too.

    “No, fuck! Why on earth?”

    They were truly useless to anyone.

    These guys were so overcome with a sense of defeat that they couldn’t even wield the weapons they were given for self-defense.

    Where on earth are we going to use the surplus resources that only eat up food?

    “Ah! Food!”

    Park Jin-heon hurriedly looked at the space where the food he had stored up was.

    There was not a single piece of food he had taken out of the stadium.

    “Fuck you! I told you I would bring food with me!”

    We lost our little ones, and we also lost our food.

    To a kid who can’t even guess!

    “Fuck haircut!”

    puck-! puck-!

    Park Jin-heon walked to the place where the food was, leaving behind the teaching table that was broken by his angry kick.

    And there I found traces for the first time.

    [Salvation]

    Two letters joined together to mean trash.

    “No, what kind of salvation is this! You thief!”

    He grinned as he got rid of that too with a kick.

    “Cough! Fuck you kid!”

    His eyes sparkled as he swept up the dust fluttering with his hands due to his violent movements.

    ‘Yes, dust!’

    A flash of light flashed in Park Jin-heon’s head.

    He hurried out into the hallway and focused his attention.

    Dust clearly visible in the sunlight passing through the window.

    The floor of the hallway where the dust would pile up.

    Numerous footprints faintly remain there.

    “I guess I can roughly grab a strand.”

    Park Jin-heon walked following the faint footsteps.

    Contrary to expectations that he would have moved downward, the traces guided Park Jin-heon to the rooftop of the school.

    And traces falling from the rooftop.

    The only sound that greeted Park Jin-heon was the bitter wind shaking the chair that Kim Hae-il always loved.

    “Rooftop. Salvation.”

    With just those two clues, he disappeared.

    Friends, food, and an unidentified awakened person.

    “Is it a flight? With that ability, you used the points like water?”

    Park Jin-heon ruffled his hair as he searched for unconnected clues.

    If you remove the ambiguous word ‘rooftop’, only one clue remains.

    “… Salvation.”

    Park Jin-heon bit his lip as he growled the last clue.

    They cannot return to the artificial island without their friends and food.

    No, it’s not going back.

    I came out shouting so loudly, but I have to go back empty-handed?

    You can never do that.

    You are definitely what I am looking for.

    and…

    “I don’t know who it is, but you’re left behind.”

    It will be my precious stack.

    ***

    It’s a profit –

    The door to the executive room on the third floor of Salvation Church opened.

    I and the executives walked down the hallway with the sunlight shining brightly.

    The knights of the Salvation Church who were waiting in the hallway protected us and walked together.

    A stable combination of the knights’ white uniforms and the dark-colored rifles in their hands.

    He nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the knights equipped with the Sword of Faith.

    As expected, traditional black and white!

    Along with a happy smile, he also checked the significantly increased faith and production.

    [Religion: 12,200 (900/H)]

    A faith that remains above 10,000 for the first time in a long time.

    In addition, faith production was also about to exceed 1,000.

    Naturally, new awakened believers were responsible for this explosive increase in religious production.

    I looked at Kim Hae-il, who was escorting me from the closest distance.

    The third awakened believer of the One Mind Salvation Church.

    The first awakener is a pattern awakener who did not even have any skills.

    It wasn’t that Kim Hae-il didn’t answer my question about what his skills were, it was that he couldn’t.

    And only after hearing Kim Hae-il’s answer that there was no skill, I remembered that the main reward I received for ‘First Kill Zombies as an Awakened’ was the skill creation ticket.

    An awakened person with no special skills or innate talents.

    Now that I think about it, I also complained to the system that I had no skills.

    If I hadn’t acted proactively, I would have been no different from Kim Hae-il.

    However, if you have a second awakening with a clear job, things are different.

    Because a job always comes with skills that go well with it.

    And for those who became believers of the Salvation Church, a second awakening necessarily followed.

    The updated status window for Kim Hae-il was brought up in the believer management tab.

    [Name: Kim Hae-il]

    [Gender∘Age: Male∘19]

    [Affiliation: One Mind Salvation Church]

    [Occupation: Vice leader of the Salvation Church vigilante group (awakened believer)]

    [Holding Faith: 100]

    [Chase Lv.1]

    [You can determine the approximate location of those whose faces you have identified. As the level increases, more detailed locations are identified.]

    The system understood exactly what I wanted and offered me a job in Gimhae Il.

    Vice leader of the vigilante group.

    The person who will take the position of leader has not yet been decided.

    If there is an item that can turn someone into an awakened person, there is a high probability that it will seat Seo Taesan.

    If not, I was planning on farming and appointing a powerful awakened person to take charge of the military.

    Also, the system has not yet recognized my knights as knights.

    This probably means that like saints and apostles, they also have the buildings and items they need.

    Well, other than that, I had no complaints whatsoever.

    I’m not sure what the pursuit skill created by Kim Hae-il has to do with vigilantes, but it’s clear that it’s a useful skill.

    In this way, each awakened person will definitely return to me with great strength.

    “Ah~ I keep feeling sad.”

    So, I really wanted to farm an awakened person like Park Jin-heon or something.

    First of all, I left my own message while taking care of the guntona and food, but of course you wouldn’t understand, right?

    Well, what can you know from just two words?

    Are there any awakened people capable of broadcasting or telepathy?

    ha… Park Jin-heon: If he had good skills, I should have brought him in sooner.

    “… Your face is full of sorrow, teacher.”

    Seong Ga-eul approached with a frown on her face and whispered.

    Seong Ga-eul was urging him to straighten his face, although it was just too direct for other believers to hear.

    “Haha, sorry. My heart aches a little when I think of Park Jin-heon, whom I was unable to bring home from school.”

    “Ah― No, cult leader. Jinheon will definitely realize the truth.”

    “Yes. I will definitely meet you soon.”

    The knights’ eyes opened as they saw me staring vaguely at the ceiling.

    At the same time, the sound of writing writing behind me became louder.

    Kim Eun-byeol was passionately writing down the conversation that had just taken place.

    The scene where the first knights are born must have been well written as well.

    Since I was very satisfied with the first chapter of the ‘Book of Salvation’ that Kim Eun-byeol dedicated, I would have written the second chapter as well.

    Just like Seong Ga-eul said, I shook off my slight regret and went down the stairs.

    I collected 10,000 points by singing like that.

    It’s finally time to level up the statue.
