Everyone has probably suffered from hunger at least once.

For diet reasons, because I’m busy with work, or because I’m not in a good mood.

Even if you don’t eat just one meal, you feel empty, and if you starve for a day, your stomach rumbles with thunder.

So that you have to shove something into your mouth right away.

Hunger for the above reasons can be stopped at any time.

If you put your mind to it, you can enjoy abundance by filling your stomach with all the food you want.

But have you ever thought about it?

What if I can’t relieve this terrible hunger that comes even if I starve for just one day?

Unless you know when that emptiness will end.

Lastly, if my parents, siblings, lovers, or friends are dying because of it.

Would you just watch it quietly?

Or would I save them, even if it meant risking my life and even if it meant dirtying my hands?

So it was.

“Hahaha! This is truly amazing, boss!”

“At this rate, I don’t have to worry about starving to death for a while, right?!”

“This is how much food I’ve had… , gulp… !”

He turned into a thief.

I know that this is something that cannot be forgiven.

That their lives are just as precious as the lives of my family, friends, and lovers.

But humans are like that.

I don’t mind other people’s sacrifices for myself and the people around me.

“Hey, boss.”

“What’s going on?”

“Is it really okay? The opponent is the Orthodox Church.”

“In particular, they say that those who mess with the volunteer group will be viciously tracked down and caught… .”

“… … .”

So it didn’t matter.

Whether the target of the plunder is the Vatican Orthodox Church or the rulers of this country.

What if they come and seek revenge?

“You can die less miserably than starving.”

“… … .”

If it’s the same whether you die this way or that way, you just choose the one that is a little less miserable.

Wouldn’t it be less miserable to die at the hands of the Orthodox Church than to lose your entire family to something like starvation?

“Free some food to fill your family’s stomach. And keep the rest in the warehouse and be very vigilant.”

“Yes, Captain!”

The subordinates leave with bright faces at the thought of being able to eat their fill for the first time in a long time.

“Phew.”

He was finally alone and was about to sit down and lean back on an old chair.

Rattling!

The door that had just been closed was opened again.

The person who opened the door and came in was a man wearing a pitch-black robe.

Skin that looks so pale it’s not even white, and bright red lips.

A handsome man who creates an unrealistic feeling when you just look at him.

His name is Stan.

It was him.

A person who approached a man who had turned into a thief but was still worried about food and offered him a deal by telling him information about the Orthodox Church Volunteer Group.

“I heard the news. They say he returned after stealing only 20% of the supplies from the Orthodox Church volunteer group.”

“That’s right.”

The smile on Stan’s lips twisted slightly at the man’s calm attitude.

“Why did you make that choice?”

Because he broke his promise.

Apparently, they decided to take away all the supplies and share them in exchange for information about the Orthodox Church volunteer group.

But the man also had something to say.

“If we had been more greedy there, there would have been a fight, and if that had happened, more than half of us would have died there.”

He did not forget the essence.

The only reason I became a thief was because I didn’t want my family and colleagues to starve.

But what does it mean if you sacrifice your colleagues to obtain that food?

Stan, who felt frustrated with the man, asked back in a more serious tone.

“So you didn’t even provide weapons.”

All of the weapons they currently wore were provided by Stan.

Although it looks like a rusty weapon on the outside, it is powerful enough to blow out a hole in a hunter’s extremely hard body.

Stan said that with this weapon, he could win against the Holy Knights of the Volunteer Corps, but it didn’t seem right to the man.

“If it wasn’t even for that, it would have been annihilated.”

“… … .”

Stan shakes his head excitedly at his firm answer.

It was a mistake in judgment.

I chose it because I thought I would be able to fight bravely against the Orthodox volunteer corps because of my strong camaraderie, but I never thought that camaraderie would actually hold me back.

“You made a mistake. I didn’t mean to do business with a soft person like you.”

“I’m sorry that I couldn’t live up to your expectations.”

Even though the words scratched his pride, the man didn’t care.

All of my colleagues survived, and I also obtained a considerable amount of food.

In the midst of all this, it’s like a sarcastic comment.

“Anyway, the deal is over. As promised, I will give you half of the food, so take it back.”

He was about to get up from his seat with the intention of handing over the promised compensation and ending the transaction quickly.

“That won’t work.”

Stan’s answer, which had impure intentions, made the man frown.

“… What does it mean?”

When the man asked, Stan answered.

“Since you broke your promise first, shouldn’t I also break my promise?”

“So.”

“Please give me all the food you stole this time. I will forgive you for that.”

“Ha.”

A man who laughs at a ridiculous proposal that appears to be lenient.

Eventually, his life-filled gaze turns to Stan.

“Have you forgotten that the weapons you gave us are still in our hands?”

Then Stan laughs.

“Tsk tsk tsk… , Could it be that the weapon was handed over without even the slightest safety device?”

“… … !”

An ominous thought that passes by at first glance.

He immediately pushed Stan’s body away and went out.

“Everyone… !”

I was about to tell him to keep the weapon away from his body.

Sigh!

When Stan flicked his thumb and index finger, dozens of lights flashed before his eyes.

Fuuu!

Pow!

The weapons they were carrying on their backs, chests, and sides began to explode all at once.

Patter!

Clap!

The parts of the body that fell off in the explosion scatter in red rain.

“Aaagh!”

“My, my arm, my paaal!”

“Cough… !”

The lives of my colleagues are falling apart at a rapid pace.

“Aaagh, honey!”

“Ah, Dad!”

“Oppa, come to your senses! Oppa, oppa ahhh!”

“Ugh-!”

A family weeping as they hold on to their dying head.

Intense confusion and regret filled the man’s mind.

okay.

You are the one who broke your promise.

So, if only they had given away all the food they had stolen in return.

Wouldn’t something like this have happened?

‘… ‘No, no.’

A man clenching his fists.

Every time blood drips from my fingernails that dig into my skin, my senses come back.

Nothing changes.

Even if all the supplies from the Orthodox Church volunteer group were taken as planned.

‘He was planning on doing this from the beginning.’

I realize it too late.

From the moment they accepted the deal and hung their weapons around their necks, they were dead.

In the end, the death of his colleagues was due to that evil spirit and himself being deceived by the evil spirit.

“I, II… !”

A man with murderous intentions lunges towards Stan, who is smiling evilly behind his back.

kill.

In the most painful way, using all the vicious tricks at his disposal.

It was just that thought that made me reach out and grab the guy’s windpipe.

sss

Before my hand can even touch it, Stan’s body disappears like a mirage.

And I felt his presence behind me again.

“Ho… They say it’s okay even if it rots.”

Huh, huh.

Stan draws a deeper smile at the man, no, the beast, who exhales a breath full of murderous intent.

His mouth opens.

“It seems that the skills that earned him the position of captain of the presidential guard based solely on his skills are not dead.”

Yes.

Although he is just a thief now, there was a time when the man was brilliant.

His name is Andrey.

A man who rose to prominence and became the head of the presidential security guard based solely on his outstanding skills.

He suffered injuries while safely escaping the capital, including the president, from the capital during the great disaster, but none of his teeth fell out.

“Kaaak-!”

Andrei rushes in again, letting out a fierce roar.

But as if he was laughing at him, Stan constantly escaped his grasp like a mirage.

Like a person who exists but has no form.

“Hehe, it’s impossible. Your body can’t even use magical power properly, right?”

“Keuuu… !”

The one that stabs you where it hurts the most.

As Stan said, Andrei lost his magic.

The circuit, which was overheated due to the use of excessive force, was unable to withstand the heat and eventually melted.

The ability to disappear like a mirage is clearly a characteristic ability.

The most common way to capture the true nature of something like that is to put magic power into your hands or weapons.

But it was impossible for Andrei, who had lost his magic circuit.

He had been running wild like a bullfighter in excitement at the sight of the red cape, but stumbled from exhaustion.

And Stan did not miss this and materialized and succeeded in grabbing his neck.

Quack!

“Wow… !”

The situation changed with just one attack.

Andrei, who was grabbed by the neck by him, realized.

Stan’s strength is no less than his own.

But the fact that they didn’t confront him was just to deceive and ridicule him.

With a dangerous smile on his lips, he slowly tightens his hands and says goodbye.

“Go first and wait. We will also send your colleagues and family one by one.”

“You, this… , you son of a bitch… Wow… !”

Pudduk… !

Just before my neck, trembling with grief, was suddenly broken with a bizarre sound.

Puzzle!

An ominous noise struck the top of Stan’s head.

In response, he throws away Andrei’s head and hurries away.

It was a narrow miss.

Quack!

A long bolt of lightning struck the spot where he was, accompanied by a deafening roar.

An unnatural product created by humans, not nature.

Seeing this, Stan felt a chill on the back of his neck.

I almost died.

With suffocating fear, I look up at the sky as I unbutton the shirt that is choking me.

A man is slowly descending with the clear sky on his back.

Kim Do-jin.

He immediately understood the situation.

“Just looking at it, it looks like they are fighting over a deal, right?”

He grins and looks at both sides alternately.

I couldn’t hide my laughter at this incredibly beautiful situation.
