    Half the World (1) ― Hyopyeong Apartment, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon

    “kkieeek―!”

    A zombie reached out its hand anxiously toward me and went crazy.

    Legs shaking in the air and a white T-shirt with rotten blood caked on it.

    I kept fixing the head of the guy who was violently shaking his long straight hair and looked at him closely.

    … … I’m sure it’s a woman.

    In addition to the zombies in front of me, I looked around at the zombies a little further back who were equally obsessed with telekinesis.

    Naturally, the appearance of the infected people was so miserable that it was impossible to open one’s eyes and look at them.

    The body defects were a charm, and the large holes in the body were an accessory.

    The zombie in front of me now also had cheeks that looked like they had been chewed off, and one of its ears was dangling as if someone had spit it out after eating.

    Of course, it was bound to be difficult to distinguish.

    I just assumed that they looked roughly similar.

    What I can buy is not an elixir, but a zombie cure.

    The moment I died as a zombie, there was no way to save me now.

    “Is this person Seo Hye-young?”

    I asked the believers behind me.

    Kim Hae-il, who continued to look at the ID photo and the zombie alternately, nodded.

    “Yes. That person is Seo Hye-young, leader.”

    As soon as Kim Hae-il finished checking, Seo Hye-young was pulled in.

    “Kkisss—!”

    The closer the prey gets, the more luminous she becomes, so she raises her neck and adjusts it to look at the ceiling.

    “Instructor Hyewon Seo will be happy.”

    The zombie cure left my hand and flowed down onto her head.

    The zombie’s body began to tremble as the medicine forcibly flowed down its throat.

    A familiar harbinger of change.

    Paaa!

    She was lying on the floor, emitting a bright light.

    As the light slowly faded, her body, which had been trembling intermittently, gradually regained peace.

    Eventually, she stood up, and her pupils showed a chaotic mixture of embarrassment and surprise, not appetite.

    “… This, this… .”

    Seo Hye-young caresses her torn and black blood-stained top with trembling hands.

    “Welcome, believer Hyeyoung Seo.”

    “Thank you for your hard work.”

    Two female believers who were waiting quickly came out.

    The women took off Seo Hye-young’s clothes one by one, even though she had not yet figured out what was going on.

    Seo Hye-young could only absent-mindedly receive their hands and clap her hands.

    “For reasons of hygiene and secondary infection, you must take off all the clothes you are wearing and change into new ones.”

    A naked body with all the bra and panties discolored to the point where you can’t even tell what their original color was.

    As the Hand of Salvation progressed, the gestures that helped the female believers return to their homes also became very gentle.

    The female believers turned their bodies at an angle to open my view from the front.

    ‘Oh, it’s a bit hairy?’

    I looked closely at Seo Hye-young’s wide open crotch.

    Didn’t you manage it separately?

    As a personal preference, I didn’t like it having too much hair.

    If I take you to paradise, I’ll have to remove my hair first.

    I nodded, thinking of the female hairdressers who frequently appeared in surveys of believers’ occupations.

    ‘… … But did hairdressers also remove hair from the groin area?

    Well, since the cutting is the same, it will work out somehow, right?

    Once I took it off, all I had to do was get tangled up in the jungle-like fur that greeted me.

    ‘In that sense, systematic management is needed… .’

    I need to train hairdressers who only take care of the believers I want to follow.

    Of course, I was planning to pour a lot of my subordinate liquid into those hairdressers as well.

    ‘ah… My dick is already getting bigger.’

    Seong Ga-eul also had no reason to stop me after the city was established.

    When the time comes, I plan to replicate the ideas I’ve been thinking about in the city.

    The beauty shop I mentioned earlier, run by female believers who have received my grace.

    A public bathhouse that only religious leaders and women can enter.

    Also, how about creating a separate area where only the women I like can live together?

    name is… Baekhwawon?

    The idea is to create a utopia within a utopia by making it similar to a garden of white flowers.

    I really need to do everything I can during the three months before I leave to occupy another region.

    I smiled heartily at various funny thoughts and waited for Seo Hye-young to return.

    It was only after the female believers stepped back that Seo Hye-young seemed to come to her senses and smoothed out the white robe she was wearing.

    “Seo Hye-won’s older sister, Seo Hye-young.”

    “… … !”

    She quickly raised her face at my voice, which was full of mana.

    “Hye, do you know Hyewon?”

    “I know well.”

    “Uh, where is it? Where is Hyewon now?”

    “She is in paradise.”

    “… … Yes?”

    Seo Hye-young, of course, did not understand what I was saying and tilted her head.

    “There are more important things left than that.”

    I made eye contact with her and pointed back.

    She turned her head to follow my finger, quickly backed away and screamed.

    “Kyaaak—!”

    “Calm down, sister.”

    “It’s okay. They can’t even take a single step towards their leader.”

    Immediately, female believers helped her up, but she could not calm down at all.

    “ too, you have to run away! I, I… ”

    Those terrible moments when raw flesh was chewed, torn, and tasted.

    “kkieeek―!”

    The culprits who had killed him were stretching out their hands and going crazy.

    Seo Hye-young was caught by the female believers and could not retreat any further, so she shook her head and screamed even more violently.

    “Aaaagh―!”

    “Kkisss—!”

    It was humming through the apartment as if there was a high-pitched battle, but it didn’t really matter.

    The zombies in this area have already been reduced to Sagri Point and are lying on the ground.

    Moreover, since it was a necessary process of going to a shelter every time a believer was saved, I was not particularly impressed.

    The believers who held Seo Hye-young and Kim Hae-il behind them were also waiting for Seo Hye-young to get tired without any change in their expressions.

    It took just about three minutes for Seo Hye-young to become quiet.

    “Collok― Collock―”

    She let out a few dry coughs through her sore throat and stared at the zombies with embarrassed eyes.

    They didn’t rush at him.

    Moreover, if you look closely, it was even levitating!

    “Is your sister’s family among them?”

    She looked at me again.

    He smiled softly and whispered to his slightly trembling pupils.

    “Take a good look at their faces. Could it be that I asked you with bad thoughts? I who saved you and gave you new clothes?”

    Seo Hye-young turned her shaky head and looked at the zombies carefully.

    The five zombies that had killed him were frozen like ice.

    Among them were none of the family members the man had mentioned.

    “Uh, none.”

    “I see. Vice leader.”

    “Yes!”

    Nettle liquid!

    My hair was flying in the sudden wind.

    In the blink of an eye, the man who was swarmed by the men swung his arms with his back.

    Whoa!

    Five plosive sounds ringing in succession.

    Zombies with large holes in their heads collapsed on the floor one after another.

    Damn!

    The blood that the man had shed while shaking the window spread on the rotten floor.

    The tip of the spear sparkled in the sunlight, making me feel chilled just by looking at it.

    While the man went back to the back, Seo Hye-young stared blankly at the corpses.

    The first corpse I saw.

    The first thing I saw was a grotesque corpse with a hole in its head.

    She felt glad that she had pushed herself to her limit earlier.

    If I hadn’t done that, I would have been screaming at the top of my lungs right now.

    He was clearly bitten to death by them.

    The moment when he raised his voice and shouted to his younger brother, who was still crying while looking at him, to run away was clear.

    It didn’t matter how much I struggled.

    The feeling of their teeth gnawing at me continued to shake my head with unfiltered pain.

    I just wanted this moment to end quickly.

    I closed my eyes and cried like that.

    I had no memory after that.

    He opened his eyes as if he had just woken up and found himself alive.

    Surprisingly, he didn’t have any wounds and was wearing clothes stained with dark red blood, proving that that day wasn’t a dream.

    came back from the dead

    miracle.

    She turned her head from looking at the corpse and looked straight ahead again.

    Grateful women who gave them new clothes.

    A grateful man who killed those who killed him.

    The one who sees himself at the forefront of them.

    This man knows Hyewon.

    She wasn’t stupid.

    “Aaaaa—!”

    He smiled kindly as he looked at Seo Hye-young’s eyes that were filled with tears.

    This is why I liked the people who used the zombie cure better than the citizens they rescued in Seoul.

    Through the miracles they have already experienced, they look at me with wide open hearts.

    “Let’s go back. To our home where my younger brother is anxiously waiting.”

    Everything that needed to be done at Hyopyeong Apartment was completed.

    I opened the veranda door with telekinesis and walked towards it.

    If I invested just a little bit of time, I could have made him into a believer who believed in me as much as most believers here, but it wasn’t necessary.

    Her family, who appreciates me more than anyone else and believes in me, will make her a more faithful devotee than anyone else in the world.

    The female believers supporting Seo Hye-young and Kim Hae-il slowly followed behind me.

    The idea was to use telekinesis to go down to the ground without having to use the stairs.

    One vehicle waiting for us on the ground.

    Believers were seen boarding the Guntona rescued from the Incheon shelter.

    He raised both arms and embraced all of his companions with his telekinetic powers.

    “Hiik―!”

    Seo Hye-young took a quick breath as she watched her body slowly floating.

    However, contrary to her concerns, the soft fall began.

    chin-!

    The group arrived on the ground like a feather falling and began their next skillful action.

    While Kim Hae-il told the believer sitting in the driver’s seat about the next destination, female believers and Seo Hye-young boarded Guntona.

    Kim Hae-il came back and Shindo, who drove a taxi in Incheon, bowed his head politely and stepped on the accelerator.

    Vroom!

    He looked at Guntona, who was returning to the sanctuary, and asked Kim Hae-il.

    “Is there still enough fuel?”

    “Yes. There is plenty of gasoline stored in the sanctuary.”

    okay. I’ve accumulated 3000 faith points and things like a mountain, so of course I shouldn’t run out of things.

    At first glance, the price seemed like a rip-off, but it didn’t really matter.

    Anyway, that was the point where I could recover on my own if I just stayed still for an hour.

    The spear held by Hae-il Kim and the gasoline cans piled up in the sanctuary.

    Now the world we live in is a world of point universalism, which is a departure from golden universalism.

    If you look at it from that perspective, there is no such thing as a rich cheat like me.

    The real strength I have built up over time may be the amount of faith I can produce per hour.

    “Thank goodness. Where is your next destination?”

    “Yes. The next person scheduled for salvation is the granddaughter of believer Kim Deok-sun. There is currently no movement from the Marine Hotel.”

    “Do you mean it’s completely stopped?”

    “No. The movement radius circles around inside the hotel.”

    Most of the people spinning around inside the building like that have turned into zombies.

    By the way, I can’t believe I can know the movement radius in such detail.

    As the level of Haeil Kim’s pursuit increased, it became more sophisticated to a point that even I was surprised by.

    As I walked down the road, I held out my hand behind me.

    I held the photo gently in my hand and looked at it closely.

    The face of a smiling woman with her hand on the shoulder of a sitting grandmother.

    “… … hmm. I guess we can go slowly.”

    “Yes.”

    Anyway, I had to clean up the surroundings for Guntona’s way back.

    visor-! visor-! visor-!

    When Kim Hae-il’s spear broke, the extra spears that were to be handed over clashed with each other in the air, making a loud noise.

    “Kkisss—!”

    A sound that resonates widely in a quiet city.

    The howling of the guys who were thrilled that someone was there covered the roar.

    Doo doo doo doo doo!

    Zombies swooping in like cockroaches from alleyways.

    Their wandering heads stopped at the same time they saw us.

    “Kkisss—!”

    I slowly raised my right hand.

    Those who were running, shaking their upper bodies violently, all stopped as if they were nailed to the spot.

    Telekinesis, assisted by divinity, covered the area I had designated.

    “Vice-leader.”

    “Yes!”

    Immediately, Gim Hae-il rushed towards them.

    Smooth linked movements that are completely different from the creaky movements when I first started playing Hands of Salvation.

    I smiled happily as I watched Kim Hae-il wandering among them.

    Yes, the leader of the cult is determined to do something, but it is worth it if you receive this much.

    It was more efficient for Kim Hae-il, who still has infinite growth potential, to receive points from killing zombies rather than for me, who had already maxed out his skills.

    Thanks to this, every time I killed a zombie, the level of my chase skill gradually increased, and the Hand of Salvation project was a success, and by investing in physical stats from time to time, my movements became more and more unique.

    The only downside is that I’m so bored.

    Krraaa!

    A chunk of asphalt flew at Kim Hae-il, who was in the middle of killing zombies that were crushed by telekinesis.

    My eyes flashed as I looked at the lump frozen in midair.

    thud-! thud-!

    Two steroids running, shaking the ground.

    I looked into their red eyes and stretched out my hand towards them.

    “Take care of those guys first!”

    “Yes!”

    Without any suspicion, Kim Hae-il turned his direction.

    Kim Hae-il leaps towards a guy who looks three times bigger than himself.

    The steroid, already under the control of my telekinetic powers, could only watch him blankly.

    My trembling hands moved to somehow protect my head, but it didn’t budge.

    I smiled as I saw the tip of the vice-captain’s spear pierce the guy’s head.

    2000 Two Faiths.

    Depositing 4000 faith at once is a breeze.

    “… … You’re lucky.”

    I wish there were more.

    I quenched my appetite and continued to look down the alley, where no more zombies were popping out.

    ***

    “It’s big.”

    “Yes. It is written that it is famous as a 5-star luxury hotel.”

    Kim Hae-il answered my question by reading the document he took out of the inventory.

    Well, you were a student too, so it’s even weirder to know about hotels.

    I turned my head again and looked at the Marine Hotel in front.

    Just looking at the gorgeous exterior makes you ask, ‘Wow – how much does it cost to stay here for one night?’

    As the name Marin suggests, the long outdoor swimming pool caught my eye as soon as I entered the entrance.

    Dozens of corpses floating in that swimming pool.

    The blood they shed turned the color of the swimming pool an ominous dark red.

    “ Jeong Seong-ah, the person to be rescued is wandering around a little further in. ”

    “Yes. Let’s go in.”

    A feeling of luxury that cannot be erased even by the corpses scattered randomly outside the hotel.

    I slowly walked to the entrance of the main building, looking around the outdoors as if appreciating it.

    I was wondering when I’ve been to a place like this, but it turns out it’s only after the zombie apocalypse came.

    While I was laughing at the absurdity, a sound rang out inside the hotel.

    “Kkisss—!”

    Their roar continued to echo through the building.

    “Master.”

    “I guess something happened.”

    They don’t cry all day either.

    Only after hearing a sound or spotting prey does it scream to gather its mates.

    Not just one or two, but many roars that resounded through the building.

    This was proof that something was happening inside.

    Tap- tap- tap-

    I passed the information desk and walked quickly across the lobby.

    I listened to the roar getting closer and closer.

    Tung-! Tung-!

    The sound of stepping on a crude iron plate.

    “kkieeek―!”

    The roar of the zombies could be heard right under the iron plate.

    Slam!

    A clunky operation sound sounded and the steel plate we were stepping on suddenly went down.

    At the same time, we saw dozens of zombies stretching out their hands at us on the wide open floor.

    They desperately reach out for us as they fall, but there is no way they can reach us.

    We slowly passed the trap using telekinesis without any problems and entered the hotel.

    chin-.

    I stepped on the ground again and looked back at the pit where the zombies were hiding.

    A structure that is crude but has human touches.

    “I might not need a zombie cure this time.”

    While playing Hands of Salvation, there was a high probability that for the first time we would see a person destined to be saved rather than a zombie.

    “It’s been a while since I’ve seen a survivor who survived this long in Incheon.”

    Curiosity and excitement were greater than vigilance.

    Smooth footsteps passed over the pumpkin-shaped exhibit located in the center and headed toward the stairs leading to the next floor.

    As I was carrying my baggage up the stairs, I heard the sound of words echoing.

    The survivors who saw us from the top of the long stairs opened their eyes as if they were torn apart.

    “I am a man! No, no no! Tesdaaa!”

    “Sister! Sister! The Tess have invaded!”

    I went back up the stairs and narrowed my eyes as I saw the survivors running away.

    Tess?

    What Tess are you talking about?

    … … Socrates?

    “Shall we go and get it?”

    He shook his head, trying to dissuade Kim Hae-il from asking as he took out a spear from his inventory.

    “Where are you? Where are you?”

    “I’m down there, sister! Two, two, no, two!”

    I smiled softly as I heard the sound of countless footsteps echoing down the stairs.

    Whatever it was.

    For the first time in a long time, I had a feeling that something interesting would happen.
