##124.
The huge hand that reached out through the crack was tightly squeezed. So as not to disturb others.
“Ugh… … .”
It is strong enough to destroy a building. Even though I was S-class, it wasn’t easy to stop it.
“Seo Hee-won, don’t overdo it!”
Baek Geon-oh, who had deliberately kept me away from him, screamed. Unfortunately, Baek Geon-o couldn’t do any tricks, such as flying, so it was impossible for him to come up to me and stop me.
While I was blocking, the group split up. While continuing to block the crack from the side, at the same time, my hands began to close the gnawing crack at the top and bottom.
Sigh-
As if realizing that the exit I had just opened was blocked, a creepy sound rang out from inside again. And the resistance of his hands became fiercer.
“… … .”
I thought I could just keep trying like this, but it was hard to hold on as my strength grew stronger.
it’s tough… … .
Yeah, it’s just difficult.
It hasn’t been long since I woke up from a nightmare where I was struggling with the helplessness of not being able to do anything. The current situation where I can do something is better than when I was at a loss.
I gritted my teeth. But despite my efforts, my strength was gradually fading away. Suddenly, one hand got out of my control.
The hand flew in the direction where Baek Geon-oh was. He strained his strength to somehow stop it. And with the determination to give it my all.
The characteristics change to suit you.
At that time, a system window suddenly appeared. As the system window popped up and I was about to grit my teeth and ignore it because nothing good would happen, I felt strength building up in my body.
I blinked. Baek Geon-oh casually cut off his entire hand and then looked at him with a nervous expression. I put my restored hands back together and checked the system window that appeared between me and Baek Geon-oh.
Protagonist Qualities (EX): Destined to become the protagonist who will protect this world. When you do something to protect this world, all abilities double.
Deleting properties.
It was a sentence I had never imagined. Even in this situation, I couldn’t help but laugh. The main character, am I?
I hoped he wasn’t a villain, but being the main character was ridiculous. It seems like the system always places high expectations on me… I was not a great person worthy of that.
I am just an ordinary citizen.
We live a daily life no different from other people, and live to protect that daily life.
Well, anyway, I’m just thankful for that overestimation right now. Ability level doubled. An effect I had never experienced before in my life enveloped my entire body.
To say that it was only twice as much, I had more power than I originally had. I leisurely held my hand in the air. Not only did they grab it, but they also pushed what was sticking out into the crack little by little.
The crack was almost closing. The end was close enough to meet up with another team that started on the other side of Seoul.
Just when I thought it was really over, someone screamed.
“No, no. “There are no more magic stones!”
I knew something like this would happen. I took out a used magic stone from my inventory. And then I carefully whispered to my shadow.
“I’m sorry, dust.”
– It’s okay, Heewon.
A gigantic speck of dust suddenly popped out from the shadows. The dust chewed and swallowed the magic stone I was holding. A soft light spread from the body of dust.
It’s over now.
The moment I thought that, my hand suddenly stuck out as if making a final struggle. The outstretched hand grabbed me and came so close that it seemed like it was going to explode.
Good!
I was unable to react to the attack, which seemed to have taken all my might.
But the attack didn’t reach me.
“… … .”
As if he had been waiting, Baek Geon-oh, who was in front of the crack, split the hand that was reaching into the air.
The split hands and arms fell down and made a terrifying sound. Baek Geon-o completely tore his remaining arm into pieces before I could push him in.
So the threat disappears… … .
Finally the rift closed.
“right… Waaaa!”
A loud shout rang out, starting with someone cheering. The operation that began with great responsibility has finally come to an end. I was overflowing with joy at having saved everything.
The sun was rising. With my brightened vision, I could see everyone’s happy faces. And Baek Geon-oh’s face staring intently at me.
I approached Baek Geon-oh.
“Seo Hee-won.”
I quietly looked at Baek Geon-oh’s face. With no strength left, I fell helplessly. To be precise, Baek Geon-oh grabbed me and hugged me before I fell. I collapsed into that warm embrace.
finished.
Of course, there were still some problems left. There were more than one or two things I had put off, and it felt a little distant when I thought about them.
But as long as we live, there will always be problems. And I had the power to solve that problem. I somehow got through a lot of things, so it will be the same in the future as well.
I closed my eyes, feeling relieved in an embrace that made me feel a little nostalgic.
✧✧✧
That day, starting from the man’s capture of Lee Jae-hee, the remnants of the Black Sea Guild began to be captured one by one.
The person who cooperated in catching Lee Jae-hee was none other than Lim Na-young. Lim Na-young contacted her uncle, gave him information about where Jae-hee Lee was, and went into hiding.
It was unknown why Lim Na-young bothered to contact the man and why she betrayed Lee Jae-hee in the end. This was a problem that could only be solved by catching Lim Na-young, so I couldn’t figure it out right away.
Those pseudo-believers called Baekmyeongyo completely disintegrated.
It was a natural result since the religious leader was a madman who wanted to destroy the world. Except for the crazy fanatics who sympathized with Kim Kyung-min, there were hardly any believers that were that extreme.
And the uncle… … .
As soon as he saw me, he grabbed me and cried.
“Heewon, you really… sorry.”
The man cried loudly, which was unbecoming of his large size. I hugged him and patted him on the back, and he said the words he had been hesitant about in his nightmare.
“are you okay. ah… bar.”
“… … what?”
mister… “No,” Dad asked back, pulling his body away from me. I awkwardly opened my mouth to my father, who looked like he couldn’t believe it.
“It wasn’t something I did willingly… … . “Dad.”
There was no need to be sorry. Dad is just a victim too.
Moreover, my father even escaped the brainwashing himself. It may have been because of the shock of seeing me injured, but a mental hunter diagnosed that there were traces of the skill being forcibly broken.
“dad?”
“… … .”
“Do not cry.”
“… … .”
“Don’t cry, don’t you…” … .”
I had no intention of crying. As my dad kept crying, I couldn’t help but shed tears. And the tears that came out gradually increased, and soon they flowed so much that I couldn’t control them.
We cried like that for a long time. After crying a lot, I felt much more refreshed.
And Baek Geon-oh… … .
“It’s my fault.”
He showed condescension.
“I lobbied and threatened. “Did you do well?”
Baek Geon-oh continued to brag about me when I returned home after being sentenced to a fine.
As for the case that the man was brainwashed and connected me with the Black Sea Guild, the evidence itself was insufficient.
Falsifying your awakened level or raising an unregistered monster is a crime punishable by up to a prison sentence… In the end, I only ended up paying a fine.
The gist of the verdict I received was that ‘I did not abuse my rank by lying about it, but rather contributed to society’ and ‘I had the appropriate skills to control monsters, and the monsters I tamped were friendly to humans.’
When it was revealed that I was G.O., the work I had done so far was taken into consideration, and more than anything, the fact that I closed the rift with the dust that day had a big impact. Public opinion was also favorable, and the government’s decision to use the S-class awakened person they found at best, rather than give them severe punishment, also played a role.
“Yes, thanks to you.”
“Thank you?”
“Yes.”
Baek Geon-oh bowed down to me and grinned in satisfaction after receiving my thanks in a bowing manner.
“Just know that I’m ready to do anything you say.”
“… … Okay.”
Baek Geon-oh was hovering around me, solving big and small problems in this way. I haven’t come to a clear conclusion yet on what to do with Baek Geon-oh… I wonder if the conclusion was reached to some extent by not being able to actively push it away.
In fact, it was my dad who had more trouble with this than me. Without my dad’s help, I wouldn’t have been able to lie about my grade in the first place.
People who didn’t look kindly on my dad took issue with this and tried to bring him down. And the conclusion was simple.
Dad submitted his resignation letter.
When I asked if I could take a break like that, my father said that I could take a break now that I had caught Lee Jae-hee and received a bounty of about 3 billion won. My father, who is a workaholic, might soon find another job, but he seemed to have decided to enjoy some rest for now.
Everything went well.
And as for me… … .
As for me, nothing has changed much.
Although he was officially registered as an S-class awakened person, he did not obtain a hunter license. It was a certification I didn’t really need as I had no intention of becoming a hunter.
All I wanted was to go back to work. Now that I say this, it seems like I have a very deep sense of loyalty, but that’s not true… It just felt like a daily life that I had to live.
Of course, there are things that have changed since I became an S-class awakened person.
On my way to work, I was busy and stopped my car in the middle of the road. Other than me, other cars also stopped at once.
A dungeon break occurred in the middle of the city. Fortunately, it was a dungeon break that occurred while I was passing by.
“It’s Seo Hee-won!”
The people who found me shouted. This is a bit embarrassing… … . How do other hunters endure this?
I still go to work and work. Sometimes I block dungeons when they come up, but my daily life hasn’t changed much.
Q. Do you believe in fate?
A: No.
There is no such thing as a predetermined fate for a person. I believe that humans have countless possibilities.
-The villain wants to live as a small citizen.- Finish.
