Now, let’s check and see what kind of video it is that they made such a fuss about by calling me.

With that in mind, the first thing that struck me the moment I accessed the link was…

-Hey, brothers, do you see that? Wow, this is really crazy…

It was a voice full of fuss.

The next thing that caught my eye was the back of someone’s head.

‘Hey…there’s someone other than me who still has this hoodie…’

It’s been a few years since this was released, so it’s really rare that people still have it. Plus, I’m wearing refrigerator shorts and three-striped slippers. That’s exactly what I wear when I go to the convenience store, right?

“What.”

It’s me, this.

The sword shining in a familiar color in the hand of the man in the video proved that fact.

No, why is this in Rahee’s hand? Could it be that someone secretly took a picture and sent it?

I was embarrassed beyond being dumbfounded.

That’s because I thought voyeurism was something that only women did. But I never thought I would be the target.

No, even if that was the case, what kind of bastard took the picture?

Obviously, before going out in earnest, I made sure that no one was around.

If you look at the angle of the video, it feels like it was filmed from slightly above… Was it filmed by someone hiding inside the building?

If the photographer had been a woman, I wouldn’t have felt this bad. However, since I think I was secretly filmed by a faceless bastard, regardless of the content of the video, there is something basic…

That was why I ended the video with a frown and immediately called Rahee. Luckily, it seemed like he was waiting for my call, so I didn’t have to wait too long and the call was connected almost immediately.

“Hey, what is this? Where did you get it?”

ㅡ···Is that all you have to say?

“···?”

-You must have something to say to me, right?

“So you did it.”

In this situation, is there any other issue as important as the source of this video? So I said that, but what came back was a low sigh.

-If you tell me honestly right now, I’ll take care of it.

“What?”

-You lied to me.

“Me?”

-They say your talent is like a lie detector.

“···Ah.”

That’s right, he knew that.

ㅡSo what do you have to say?

how will we do it.

After thinking for a moment, I opened my mouth with a sigh.

“Ha… But I’m telling you this because you were my boyfriend at one time, so really only you know. Don’t tell others.”

-What…?

“I think I am the world’s first multiple talent awakener.”

-Damn.

···It doesn’t work.

“Wow… I really decided to open it, but aren’t those damn words too harsh?”

-So you should have said something that made sense.

“What else doesn’t make sense? You probably know my potential.”

In news reports, the word “ever-highest” was always used, and the exact amount was never made public, but Rahee’s story was set in the background because it was “another level.” Plus, I’m the type of person who can’t resist being curious, so I’m sure I would have looked into it separately later.

I thought she must have done that, so I said that, but as expected, Rahee fell into silence.

-Still… it doesn’t make sense. Are you the first human being to possess the talent for revenge?

“I guess it’s a reward for all the hard work.”

ㅡWhat is going on in your heart when you cut off all contact while you were in the middle of a relationship?

“Um.”

I didn’t really have anything to say about that either.

It’s gotten a lot better now, but at the time I was extremely stressed out. So much so that I couldn’t bear it and ended up choosing to run away.

And what if the person here now was me back then?

I would have hung up the phone without hesitation and chose to cut off contact with Rahee.

If it were me back then, I would have definitely acted like that when I was caught lying… but I didn’t want to do that now.

“···So you don’t believe me?”

-Would you believe it if it were you?

“What will you do if I prove that I have multiple talents?”

-What?

“What will you do if it is proven that it was not a lie?”

-Otherwise, it’s over. What should I do?

“Are you going to show a straight face and then back out like this? why? Were you really scared? Is it real?”

ㅡHa… Who said he was scared… If you were that confident, you might as well have made a bet. On the condition that the loser of the bet accepts anything.

“···A condition for granting anything?”

-Yes, that will never happen.

It’s a wish right.

Just looking at it, it seems like I made it big because I thought it would never happen on my own…

If you feel scared here, just cast Deuljishidenga.

There’s nothing I can do if it comes out like this. This too has no choice but to be sincere.

“Are you okay?”

-What?

“I won’t be able to handle it later.”

-Hmph, bluff.

If I say it this much, I won’t change my words later. It’s because she has a strange fetish for exposure, but her pride is sky-high.

“Are you home now?”

-What if it’s a house?

“Don’t go anywhere, just wait. Because I’m going now.”

Before that, stop by the new world and gain just one ability.

*****

The link to the new world was a problem I had been thinking about for a long time.

To be exact, I’ve been thinking that way ever since I found out that in order to solve the problems that occurred in the world of the hypnosis academy, I had to kill 100 of those special mutants.

From my point of view, I had no choice but to do that, even if I could find out the location of the special mutant by borrowing the power of the Arisugawa family or using the power of a hypnosis app to create a pseudo-religion and use the believers as my informants, in the end, I would have to catch him. The fact that you have to go in person has not changed.

So, I kept thinking that it would be nice to have a specialized ability or means for long-distance travel… and that desire reached its peak when I heard the news about Reina’s mother, Reiko.

The distance between Chiba Prefecture, where the academy is located, and the Arisugawa family’s home in Kyoto is approximately 500km.

Imagine moving that distance yourself. How tired you must be.

Considering that the roads were definitely in shambles… it would have been crazy to even think about moving that distance myself.

But my current situation was that if I made a mistake, I could have to repeat it 99 times.

So, if that doesn’t work out, I was even thinking about going back to the world of the Three Kingdoms of Yeonhui and training my martial arts skills to the limit before coming back… but Ra-hee throws a provocation that isn’t a provocation like this…

‘Oh, I committed it.’

I couldn’t bear it anymore and ended up screaming.

So… gacha.

When I first got the app, I had a total of three options.

The first is ‘Hypnosis Academy’, a rice cake shop in Yeoldosan.

The second is ‘Romance of the Three Kingdoms’, which Cao Cao is waiting for.

And finally… to the famous game series ‘Age of Sails 7: Empire of the Sea’.

Among these three options, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the age of sailing was ambiguous even when I thought about it, so I didn’t even bother to look at it until now.

From my perspective, I had no choice but to do that because, as someone who likes the era of sailing ships and the Age of Exploration, ‘Age of Sailing 7’ was definitely a game that was in the class of god games, but it had no real merit as a link target.

Once inside, it is obvious that you will only be riding around on boats, so what on earth can you use by learning how to find your way on the open sea or how to drive a sailboat?

So… I used my points to exchange it for something else.

At first, only 100 points were included.

The new world also felt a bit ambiguous, so I immediately used 200 points to play the gacha again.

After repeatedly playing the gacha, where the amount of points required was doubled every time I turned it, I was able to get it.

[3. City of Kowloon 2099]

Not only new link abilities, but also new link targets that might be able to secure items that would be very useful at hypnosis academy or in real life.

‘I have to get a new link ability anyway, so let’s just get a taste of it for a moment.’

City of Kowloon 2099, more often referred to by the nickname ‘Kowloon City’ among Korean gamers rather than its official name, is a game set in the world after World War III.

The nuclear war that burned down half of the Earth blurred the concept of nation or nation, and in the process, forces hidden behind history, like martial arts or magic, rose to the surface and the world was reorganized accordingly.

A world where science, martial arts, and magic coexist.

It was a few ‘groups’ that ruled that world.

The eight magic towers that became the basis of the ‘Holy Magic Empire’, which succeeded in unifying the European continent, which had numerous countries scattered around,

The ‘Megacorps’, which escaped the aftermath of nuclear war and succeeded in surviving by settling in the eastern part of the United States rather than the western part of the United States, which was burned down by nuclear bombs falling like a meteor shower, have now long since grown into a city-state.

And, in anticipation of China’s defeat early on, the ‘Samurai’ clans who spread to various parts of the world, the ‘Hwajok’ of the archipelago, and the ’emerging aristocrats’ who dominate the unified Korean Peninsula.

‘Kowloon City’, built on the remains of old Mongolia, was none other than a free city built by their hands.

A zone of extreme freedom where anything is allowed as long as you have power and money.

Is that why?

What greeted me as soon as I entered the world of City of Kowloon 2099, abbreviated as ‘Kowloon City’ –

“Woohyooot~~~! New Bikun, if you sit around in a place like this, scary men like us will find you and throw you away?!”

“Kehehehe, especially if you give me everything you have, I will let you live!!!”

They were red-eyed druggies who were thinking about robbing me.
