Purpose of worship (3) ― North end of the Republic of Korea branch of One Mind Salvation Church

Studying is just in the middle, neither more nor less.

His height is 176cm, just a little short of 180cm, which is said to be a bit taller these days.

His appearance is calm and objectively a little above average.

I have an average personality that thinks everything is fine as long as I don’t cross the line.

It may seem a bit ambiguous to express it in this way, but it was okay.

The opinions of others who knew nothing had nothing to do with it.

Because I will definitely become a great person someday.

Even if it’s not about studying, I will discover my hidden talents, live in a nice house, have a nice car, and have a woman that others will envy as my wife.

Because future Park Jin-heon will face the future that everyone dreams of as reality.

My real potential lay in the future.

Not moments tied to the boring and uninteresting present.

The thoughts he always had became solidified again as the world turned upside down.

A person who has become special through an awakening without knowing the cause or reason.

Skills with infinite possibilities and stacks that gradually accumulate.

All of them were a neat royal road to the future and a brilliant red carpet.

It didn’t matter how many people were busy barking at this moment.

In the end, in the future, he will easily bring them to their knees.

Because I will live in a nice country, in a splendid mansion, with women by my side that everyone would envy.

Because the future Park Jin-heon dreams of will become reality for future Park Jin-heon.

That is the belief he never wavered.

“You’re even more stupid than those guys at Incheon Airport.”

It was an unwavering faith.

My pupils were trembling violently as I looked at the white armor crushed with steroids.

The gap in power that one naturally realizes as an awakened person.

The intimidation and fear I felt from my eldest brother Yunhyeon.

“… … .”

What excuse should I make to myself?

Should I say that there was no opportunity to build up a stack since the pool of awakened people was surprisingly richer than Minguk expected?

But that was a fact, not an excuse.

Rather than behaving poorly with a stack that was already stolen from other awakeners or citizens, I decided to show a good image to the sea and my mother.

If you don’t rush and build up 10 stacks a day, you will have 3650 stacks in a year.

The likeability and stack of beauties.

It was the perfect plan to kill two rabbits at once.

In fact, his body was gradually becoming stronger, and even though his mother did not know it, the sea was clearly showing signs that it had opened its heart to him.

In that sense, this situation right now…

“s, it’s still! I’ve almost caught everything now… !”

It’s just a clumsy tackle from Salvation Church, who has realized his infinite potential.

Tuk!

Shim So-young did not bother to answer the urgent cry.

After easily getting off the steroid corpse, he punches the zombies that came.

Ka-ga-ga-ga-!

Zombies that disappear with a simple punch.

Park Jin-heon, who was staring blankly at that scene, clenched his fists tightly.

Keekeeek!

The howling of zombies still tearing up the air.

Shim So-young, who had been staring somewhat into the distance, took a step forward and slightly bent down.

Park Jin-heon, who knew what that movement meant, quickly opened his mouth.

“Sleep, just a moment! Wait a minute, sister!”

Only then did she turn her head with indifferent eyes.

Park Jin-heon quickly swallowed his saliva and soothed his dry throat.

She clearly knows that the awakened person that the Salvation Church threw out is still stronger than herself.

It is probably a natural fact that even within the Republic of Korea, there are awakened people who have not yet been defeated.

so.

There was an answer I needed to hear from her.

“Noona, how strong is she?!”

Stronger than the cult leader?!

In response to the question with a raised final note, like a beep, he grunted and adjusted his voice.

“… … .”

Shim So-young had no answer until the end.

However, for the first time, he was looking at Park Jin-heon with a smile instead of a blank expression.

Laughter and shoulders shaking loudly.

A shaking head and a crooked gaze.

“… … Even though it looks strange, it’s cute for a Tess.”

He also said the strange word ‘Tess’ and trudged towards me.

“Hey, Bultes.”

“… … Yes?”

“I mean you, you. Tess the unbeliever.”

I wanted to blurt out, ‘So what is Tess, you bitch!’, but I held it in.

The power gap was already clear, and I felt it again in my face, but it was no different than the sea.

“I’m anxious, so I’ll just say one thing.”

However, the face that was infinitely attracted to the beauty did not smile.

It’s like the sadness in those two big eyes.

The disdain felt instinctively from the raised corners of the eyes.

She opened her mouth with her lips twisted as if to give advice.

“When I see the leader, I open my eyes and relax my shoulders.”

Don’t be dented and dragged out in one place.

Soyoung Shim left those words and lightly kicked the pavement.

“… … .”

Park Jin-heon continued to look at Shim So-young’s back as she disappeared so quickly that it was difficult to chase her.

I wasn’t so stupid as to not know what her cheap advice meant.

Does this mean that the vigilante is so different from the cult leader that he is the first to answer his question?

Kwaaang! Kwaaang!

A bloody roar came from the direction she disappeared from.

[Current Awakened Harvest Stack: 999]

A question that we naturally cannot help but ask ourselves.

When will I be able to overcome that woman?

When the stack exceeds 1,000?

2,000? 3,000?

Kwaaa! Kwaaang!

Then who is the religious leader who is stronger than that woman?

“… … .”

It was far away.

For the first time, the future where wealth and fame were guaranteed seemed distant.

Maybe, maybe… … .

Park Jin-heon shook his head vigorously to erase the thoughts that were creeping into his head.

“kkieeek―!”

I bit my lip as I looked at the zombies running right in front of me.

The slightly trembling pupils showed an impatience and urgency that I had never seen before.

And there was anxiety.

***

Pow! Pow! Pow!

Rotten blood splattering on the butt of the butt as it is slashed downward countless times.

Kang Bada gently covered the eyes of Kang Jin-woo, who was guarding his side.

Pow! Pow! Pow!

The face of Kang San, who is striking an already dead zombie with a stiff face.

Rotten blood and pieces of meat splattered all over my white face.

And two brightly shining red veined eyes.

“… … Oppa.”

Kang San quickly raised his head at the sound of a soft call.

A face that looks at you warmly, as if the bloody expression from earlier was a lie.

The confusion and worry on her face was silently asking her, ‘Why did you come all the way here?’

“kkieeek―!”

“Oh, brother—!”

A zombie runs towards Kang San the moment he looks at him.

Kangsan’s rifle was stuck in the mouth that was wide open to dig into the flesh.

Kang-san reacts quickly and the zombie stretches out his arms and tries to grab Kang-san.

“Oppaaa—!”

Just as the river and sea were rushing towards him-

Sooo!

The cold blue sword split the zombie’s head.

Tuk!

The sound of someone’s footsteps being drowned out by the sound of a neatly severed head falling on the floor.

Yunhyeon suddenly appeared with a fluttering military uniform and wiggled his eyebrows with a stern expression.

“I told you that the end is the time when you can’t let down your guard the most, San.”

“… … Hyun-hyung.”

“Oppaaa—!”

It’s a river that belatedly runs to my brother and embraces him.

“… … I’m sorry, brother. I called my brother for no reason.”

“No. Why did you take the risk of bringing Jinwoo all the way here?”

Yunhyeon watched the brother and sister conversation with Jinwoo Kang with a now familiar look in his eyes.

Kang San, who had calmly separated himself from the sea, smiled softly under their gaze.

“… … Thank you, brother. I always feel indebted to you.”

“ It was like that, what happened with the family.”

Yunhyeon lightly waved his hand and continued speaking with a sad expression.

“Rather, we are sorry that we made you, a non-awakened person, hold a weapon.”

… still.

Kwaaang! Kwaaa!

Yunhyeon spoke for a moment and quietly stared at the front lines.

A pink awakener who roars across the battlefield with a thunderous roar.

I was filled with unbearable admiration as I watched her take steroids with a zombie bird attached to them in one go.

“Starting tomorrow, there will be no need to send non-awakened people into battle. How did Number 1 recruit such an awakened person?”

However, due to Yunhyeon’s warm concern, Kangsan’s smile stopped.

The only person who can observe the scene is she and the river, except for Yoon Hyeon and Kang Jin-woo, who are staring ahead.

She looked up at Kang San with worried eyes.

From long experience, I knew what emotions my brother’s face contained.

“As expected. Mother always leads us on the right path.”

“… … Isn’t it strange, brother?”

The battlefield was filled with lull with occasional roars from the front lines.

Yunhyeon, who was staring ahead, nodded in response to Kang San’s quiet question.

“San-ah, I know what you want to ask.”

“You changed 180 degrees after visiting a place called paradise. This is probably some kind of-”

“Live birth.”

Yunhyeon interrupted Kangsan and looked at him with unwavering eyes.

“She returned safely, and through many conversations, we confirmed that she was her mother. So—”

Mother is still mother.

Kang San had no answer to that strong belief.

“Didn’t you and us take turns joining their meeting together with your mother? Nothing has changed except that he has become a little brighter.”

“… … That’s right.”

Kang San reluctantly agrees with Yoon Hyeon who opens his mouth again.

“Don’t be too anxious. It may be excitement, but it seems like the day my mother had hoped for is in sight.”

When that time comes, you won’t have to hold such a cruel weapon.

Hearing Yunhyeon’s whisper, Kangsan looked down at the rifle he was holding.

And even his own hand, which was tightly gripping the rifle.

“I guess I should go see my younger brother who is probably fuming about not being able to run wild by now. The vigilante group will take care of cleaning up after you, so don’t worry and go back with your younger brother.”

Yunhyeon gently pats his shoulder and disappears as suddenly as he came.

Kang Bada cautiously asked Kang San, who remained fixed to the ground even after Yoon Hyeon left.

“… … Are you okay, brother?”

“… … Even you don’t know that, it’s the sea.”

My brother’s voice is so sweet even in moments like these.

Kang Bada gathered her mind after worrying several times and carefully took a step forward.

“… … Oppa, wouldn’t this be bad in its own way?”

She spoke quickly as her brother’s gaze was quietly focused on her.

“Of course, I know very well how my brother feels, and I will do whatever he tells me to do, but… … .”

I bit my lip and spoke out my thoughts for the first time in a very long time.

“I also talked to the leader of the salvation cult, and he doesn’t seem like such a bad person― yaaa―!”

“What?! Sea, what did you just say?!”

Kang San urgently approaches and grabs his shoulder.

Kang Jin-woo, who had been quietly guarding the side, also seemed to be startled and held on to the sea’s skirt even more tightly.

“You met that person? What did you talk about with him? Did you do anything special? Were there any strange signs after that?”

My brother’s gaze turns on the light in his eyes and contains only himself.

Kang Bada desperately suppressed the smile that was about to come out in response to her deep concern.

“… … It’s not. Even though I acted a little immature on purpose, they accepted me kindly.”

“That… … .”

That’s the problem.

Kang San loosened his grip on Kang Bada’s shoulder and lamented.

“There is definitely something, but I can’t see anything. Something, something keeps bothering me.”

Kang San, who was mumbling like that, looked at his younger sister again with deep concern.

“Ocean, you have to be really careful. Everyone around that person is changing. You should never have any conversation with that person. Got it?”

In the end, Kang Bada, unable to hold back a smile due to her affectionate concern, responded in a bright tone that did not fit the atmosphere.

“… … Yes!”

***

Minguk’s night after the first ‘Double Time’ event.

Kang Bada sighed while looking at the night view of a very unfamiliar country from the terrace.

“Haa―.”

Minguk showing off the bright night view and the electronic display board continuing the broadcast with bright lights.

And a luxurious mansion where the leaders of the Republic live at a certain distance.

“Haa―.”

It would have been an even more spectacular night view if I had seen it with my older brother, but my older brother was taken away by a cheeky high school student.

At the end of the event, Park Jin-heon returned with a very serious expression, as if something had happened again.

The childish boy continued to mutter, ‘This can’t go on like this’ and walked somewhere, and Kang San immediately ran to comfort him.

“I really have to wait like this every day… … .”

A complaint I can’t bear to say in front of my brother.

She sighed loudly again and stared at the electronic display board with blank eyes.

The ‘proof event’ is now so familiar.

It won’t be long before I can watch that broadcast on the electronic screen.

At a small meeting within the Republic of Korea, my mother blushed and said it was a shameful black history, so in reality, it was no different from declaring the end of the proof event.

If so, it means that the ban on awakened battles guaranteed by the system or something will be lifted… … .

Of course, the ‘Awakened Violence Prohibition Act’ was already in effect within the Republic of Korea, but for some reason, I felt uneasy.

Rather than the vigilantes of the Salvation Church, they are our immature high school bastards.

Does your brother know?

That the brat she was admonishing and soothing could easily kill her brother with a single finger.

I’m glad he’s stupid and stupid.

If he was a smart guy, he would have desperately tried to stop his brother from going to him first.

“Haa―.”

I sighed repeatedly and thought about Park Jin-heon.

Even if you give him a little space, hehehe, he’s just a stupid high school student of that age.

Thanks to that, I was fortunate to be able to take the reins and control the guy.

“I also learned all of this from that Bulyeosi.”

Still, with that alone, he will never be able to make a serious move against my brother.

Her mind is as complex as the number of stars that decorate the night sky.

To her, who left her tangled thoughts as they were without even thinking about untangling them.

“You’re criticizing our vice principal too openly.”

A quiet whisper flowed in.

As she lowered her head in surprise, a white man entered her gaze.

When our eyes met, he looked at me and smiled softly.

“Now we must be an inseparable family.”
