Damn System

Episode 29

Chapter 7 Murderer (4)

Kim Yul stood in front of the mirror and looked at the huge scar on his back.

The wound from the monster’s claws, which had been cut deep enough to show the bones, was almost completely healed.

It was a recovery speed that was impossible for an ordinary person.

Perhaps it was because I had been through unrealistic situations too often, so I wasn’t surprised anymore.

Putting on his jacket again, Kim Yul picked up his cell phone.

’13 out of office… … .’

It seems that the staff and team members of the agency made a phone call.

As soon as they became a final group for their debut, they broke away, so it’s only natural if it’s natural.

Looking at the call list with a complicated expression, he just left the room instead of making a call.

After passing through one door, I saw a space that was too wide to be alone.

The kitchen arrived at the place where no one was able to find it.

The food prepared by the housekeeper was neatly placed on the table.

Kim Yul started breakfast and lunch with it.

After having a drink, he murmured in a low voice.

“community.”

It wasn’t just the cell phone that messages piled up while sleeping.

The party members, who only gathered Koreans, were having a small conversation.

– Kj: I’m 15 now!

– Youkai: Oh, did you wake up?

– Macarons: Good morning. Last but not least, mint tantang.

– The first person in the world: We got a new page. kimchi.

– Manse Kimchi: Hello.

– Kj: Oh! hello hello You’re the one who didn’t get 111, right?

– Bunny Girl: Yes, I checked everything

Three from the mission magazine, three from the NIS.

The party, which had been reduced to four with the deaths of a total of six people, became six by securing two more players within a few days.

“her.”

While we were eating and talking with them, a laugh suddenly came out.

‘I’m so natural right now?’

Chatting into empty space is not enough, taking this for granted.

‘How did it end up like this?’

Kim Yul recalled the memory.

Exactly 3 weeks ago.

He went through his first tutorial at the idol trainee’s dorm.

Fortunately, it was dawn when everyone was exhausted and asleep, so there was plenty of time to erase the traces.

However, when I saw the number 1/3 in the mission window, I didn’t feel good, and I hurriedly ran out of the accommodation.

With the debut right around the corner, it’s not possible to talk nonsense about a game or a system.

It would have been more troublesome if he had even shown himself covered in blood all over his body.

‘Isn’t it better than staying at the dorm and being taken to the police station?’

At the time, it was best to avoid people’s eyes.

It was obvious that if there were even harsh rumors, you would be excluded from the debut team.

His home was a place where few people came and went, so it was a good place to hide.

The man called his father had a different life with a young woman.

The stepmother is busy managing the company’s branch overseas.

The half-brothers, each new to society, obtained an officetel near the company and became independent.

Thanks to this, this spacious house left in the middle of downtown Seoul was completely occupied by Kim Yul.

But I couldn’t continue like this.

‘In the beginning, it seemed like a simple escape and gave it time.’

When the hiatus became too long, the agency started urging him.

The missed call a moment ago was proof of that.

If you continue to dive like this, your finally confirmed debut will be canceled.

‘I can’t be calmly practicing in a situation where I don’t know when I’ll be dragged away.’

With the debut right around the corner, things got twisted in a strange way.

Kim Yul ruffled his hair and let out a sigh.

‘I tried to press down on Mr. Kim’s nose because of the apparent success.’

It was a common story. A politician father who used to be a prosecutor, a child born outside of the country, a stepmother’s cold treatment, and half-brothers’ abuse.

There was only one reason for Kim Yul to persevere through the past, which had nothing to be enjoyable about.

To go up to a place where the Kim family would not dare to look.

I aspired to success with one single thought of repaying all the resentment I had suffered so far.

But a game that suddenly intervened in his life ruined everything.

The community window and chat room floating in front of my eyes were proof that the experience of the past three weeks was not an illusion.

This crazy game was an uninvited guest in Kim Yul’s life.

But I felt like I was going crazy because I couldn’t ignore the uninvited guest in question.

If you happen to be randomly dragged like in the tutorial, you’ll die.

‘I didn’t end up in this crappy house to die like this.’

Kim Yul gritted his teeth and stared into the air.

I didn’t want to die in vain because of this awkward uninvited guest.

He cannot die until he feeds the Kims who ignored him because he was born outside of the country.

So, I hurriedly gathered my spirits and started the mission.

For the sole purpose of living.

I was heartbroken because my debut was about to fly, but wouldn’t life be more precious for now?

“Miss Erai… … .”

After swearing, Kim Yul continued to eat breakfast.

Even on the day when the first and second members of the Kim family kicked, he was the one who hurriedly put his face on the table and ate.

You can’t skip a meal just because you’re not dead, and you might die.

‘I have to eat.’

That way, your head will roll and your body won’t get tired.

This was the way Kim Yul, who had lived for 17 years without a side of himself, lived.

After finishing the meal, Kim Yul went back to his room across the house, which looked wider since no one was there.

Afterwards, Kim Yul, who slumped down on the bed, took a deep breath and tried to feel the mana.

However, despite concentrating on feeling magic all day, the result was a failure.

It was the same as last night when I tried briefly.

“Ah-oh!”

In the end, Kim Yul, who couldn’t stand it, kicked the bed and groaned.

‘Isn’t that bastard lying?’

He bit his lip and walked around the room.

‘What if it’s bullsh*t that I spread to beat my competitors?’

It had only been a day since I started trying, but I was nervous and I was going crazy.

Right now, Kim Yul’s party was putting off additional missions because of the information they received from Kay.

If all the stories related to mana management were lies, it would only waste time.

Then, like in the tutorial, if you are dragged to a strange space while sleeping… … .

Kim Yul, who stood up for a while and sighed, suddenly shuddered.

– K: What are you doing?

A new message popped up in the first chat last night.

Kim Yul, no, Kj, who narrowed his eyes and checked the chat window, sent an answer right away.

– Kj: Practicing mana management at home… … I was so sensitive that I was in tears.

– K: Where is your house, can I meet you for a while?

“ha?”

Kim Yul’s straightened eyebrows wrinkled at the sudden remark.

An encounter with someone you don’t know, and a player who is sure to be stronger than you.

It was impossible to go out without preparation.

Kim Yul carefully wrote an answer to send to Kay.

– Kj: Are you suddenly asking me out on a date like this? Didn’t I wash today? hehehehe

I was thinking of refusing this time and going out with the party members next time according to the schedule.

However, it was not as if I had decided to decline, but when I saw the message that came soon after, my heart was shaken.

– K: I won’t regret it when it comes out. You’ll find out why your party members died.

‘Ahh, can you find out why hyung died?’

My code name is Asa, and my real name is Yang Bae-Jun.

He was the one who found only Koreans in the community and organized a party, and he was also the player who took the most risks during the first mission.

It is safe to say that all those who remain now have survived thanks to his sacrifice.

Kim Yul shook his head vigorously.

‘What happened with the NIS?’

just overnight?

‘Didn’t you hear the story yesterday and go fishing?’

Then you shouldn’t meet Kei as you decided.

However, when I remembered the chat I had with him, my worries grew longer.

‘I don’t think there was any particular malice, but… … .’

The only thing Kim Yul felt while talking to Kei was that he was a very calculating person.

A person who will take only what he gave and pay back what he received.

Why did such a person come up with the idea to meet first?

As I was contemplating whether I should meet Kei or not, another message arrived.

– K: If you don’t mind, tell me about the nearest subway station. I’ll put it in the locker.

Seeing those words, I made up my mind.

‘What if I ask to meet you in a crowded place?’

Having made up his mind, Kim Yul quickly sent an answer.

– Kj: No, no! I’ll just take my eyes off it and leave right away! Hyung, I’m curious too hahahaha

– K: Where is the place?

When I gave myself the right to decide as if it were natural, I felt a little relieved.

– Kj: Near Ttukseom Station on Line 2, is it okay?

– K: ㅇㅇ It seems to take about 30 minutes, so it comes out slowly

– Kj: Preload! See you at Exit 7 then! I’ll go out in my red Adidas sneakers.

After hurriedly washing his face and brushing his teeth, Kim Yul changed his clothes and headed to the meeting place.

Fortunately, I was able to arrive on time.

Standing in front of Exit 7 and looking at the chat window floating in the air for a while.

“Kay Jr.?”

A strange voice came from behind.

Kim Yul turned his body so fast that he could hear a whoosh, and his spine felt chilly.

“omg.”

There was no one behind him.

* * *

Once for gorgeous platinum blonde hair.

Another impression of a pretty and cute puppy.

One more time with the piercings hanging from the ears.

When I saw Kj in person, I was surprised a total of three times.

‘What are you doing?’

He said he was 17 years old, but his impression was quite strong.

Of course, the embarrassment was short-lived.

No matter what that guy looks like, he just needs to convey his business.

I didn’t think I would be distracted after work, so I just stopped by now.

I said to Kj, who couldn’t keep his eyes on one place and looked around.

“hand.”

“ok?”

Kj raised his hand awkwardly and I dropped the USB on top of it.

Even if it wasn’t so, Kj’s big eyes widened even more.

“uh… … .”

“This is the video when they died. I got it from the NIS.”

“omg?”

“I don’t think the tail has been attached, but I’m not sure, so don’t take it home, go to a PC room or something.”

“Uh, uh, uh! okay. however… … Are you Kay? Are you there?”

I put my hand on his shoulder and answered.

“There is none.”

“Hey, great baby! What is this? skill? what? What you don’t see… … omg! is it transparent? Is that over 1,000? did you buy it?! Crazy jackpot! Flax is dope.”

Laughter leaked out.

‘A very tense topic.’

I could see that the muscles in my body were stiffened in case I was attacked by someone I could not see.

It didn’t stop there, and his hands were also curled in an ambiguous shape.

It was like taking out a dagger from the storage box and holding it.

Even so, he pretends to be nothing and makes a fuss.

‘This guy is more clever than I thought?’

In a way, it’s really great.

‘I’d rather have someone like this.’

At least what I need right now is a person who is bright and good at calculating rather than a stupid person.

When your needs are met, you’ll be a pretty good deal partner.

That’s why I didn’t bother to unlock the transparency.

If you know the value of this technology, you can’t help but know about the gap between me and me.

It was better to show off your skills if you wanted to look like you had something more to nibble on.

‘It’s a kind of bluff.’

Thanks to Kj recognizing the technique right away, the first button went well.

“If you don’t want to be treated like a lunatic, lower your voice.”

“Ah, that’s right. I’ll look like I’m mumbling to myself. Wait, I brought my earphones. You have to pretend to be talking on the phone with this on.”

“Let’s move to a seat, next to the convenience store over there.”

“okay.”

I walked away from the subway exit with Kj wearing wireless earphones.

After taking a seat in a corner to avoid the people passing by, he mentioned the purpose of coming here.

“I asked to see you because I had something to suggest.”

It’s a proposal that seems to show sincerity to the extent of coming directly like this.

“What suggestions?”

In response to Kj’s question, I put my thoughts into my mouth as I left the PC room.
