[TS] Malicious Sniper

I grew up in the violence of my father.

My mother died giving birth to me, and my father hated me for taking her life.

But I never hated him or thought about running away from home.

Even if I couldn’t fully empathize, I understood my father‘s feelings to some extent.

Well, he was good at making money.

As long as I endured the violence of my father when he came home drunk sometimes, I could bear it to some extent.

But I couldn’t just tolerate the violence forever.

For a while, I endured my father‘s violence by playing games.

Maybe because I repeated it for so long, the brutality of the violence felt bigger than the joy of playing the games.

I needed a new hobby.

A hobby that could help me escape from my father‘s violence.

Father wouldn’t care about how I spent money as long as it wasn’t excessive, so I had at least 100 million won stuck in my bank account.

So, I began searching for a new hobby to replace games.

Guitar, piano, hiking, singing, composing, video production, drawing…

I tried so many things, but none sparked my interest.

‘Is this what they call game addiction…?’

During my game sessions, I didn’t realize my state.

I was tired of games, but after a month, I found myself missing them.

Once I returned home and confirmed my father wasn’t there, I headed to my room.

Vroom vroom–

The soothing noise of the computer powering on.

Hearing that calming sound made my irritated heart start to heal.

I powered it on and quickly moved the mouse to launch a game.

The game I launched was “League of Legends,” or “Leori” for short.

This game, which has been around for over ten years, was practically representative of the planet Earth.

It was incredibly popular, and I was among those who enjoyed playing Leori.

“Should I loosen my skills a bit with a smurf account…”

Since I hadn’t played for a month, it would be good to warm up with a smurf account.

It’s embarrassing to say, but my main account was in the top 0.01% tier.

“I probably got demoted while I was inactive…”

I regretted not at least playing one match during that time.

Just as I was about to log in to my smurf account, Zing-

My phone, which was resting on my bed, started vibrating.

I pulled my chair back and reached for my phone.

[Father]

“… ”

A message from my father, who had never contacted me in my whole life.

Swallowing my nervousness, I answered the call.

– Is this the son of Son Yeon-woo?

It was a voice I had never heard before.

Who the heck was calling me from my father‘s number?

Pushing aside the rising questions, I slowly opened my mouth.

“Yes. My father… what is it?”

– Son Yeon-woo has passed away.

*

My father is dead.

The cause was a traffic accident involving a bus that ran a red light, crashing into a truck coming from the opposite lane.

It was a series of collisions that meant anyone would inevitably die.

I wasn’t sad.

I didn’t shed a tear.

To me, my father was less than a stranger.

So after attending my father‘s funeral, the first thing I did was move out.

I didn’t want to stay in a house that still had his traces.

More than anything, the house was too big for me to live alone.

I had always thought my house was overly spacious, so I decided to move to a decent one-room nearby.

I had to throw away most of my belongings during the process, but it was rather good.

Most of the stuff in the house belonged to my father.

“Huh…”

After finishing my move, I looked around.

It was bigger than a typical one-room, but not bad.

Since I got rid of all the furniture from my previous house, the new one-room was completely empty.

“I should buy a good bed.”

I didn’t like unnecessary expenses.

I didn’t want to buy furniture I wouldn’t use.

“But what about this…”

I was pondering what to do with the picture frame I had mindlessly brought along.

It was a frame with a photo of my mother, whom I had never seen, and a young father happily smiling.

I wanted to get rid of that frame, but the moving center staff meddled unnecessarily, so I had to keep it.

I dragged the chair and reached for the frame.

It was an old frame with something like styrofoam stuck behind the photo.

It was clear as day that it bore the traces of time.

“Just throw away the frame.”

I couldn’t bring myself to discard the photo, so I separated the frame from the picture.

I could just tuck this picture in the corner of my desk drawer.

With that thought, I opened the desk drawer, and naturally, the back of the photo came into view.

There were distorted letters barely legible on the back of the photo.

– Ha-young, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done this to my son, Min-woo…

Crack- Riiiip-

“Yeah, tossing it is better.”

Feeling nauseous as soon as I saw the back, I ripped the photo to pieces and threw the scraps in the trash.

Rumble-

Lightning struck.

As I parted the curtains, I saw it was already raining outside.

Thick sheets of rain.

Pitter patter fell.

While I was dumbfounded, I parted the curtains again and laid a blanket on the floor.

I was exhausted from moving, and soon my eyes began to close.

“Ugh… I’m thirsty.”

As soon as I woke up, I felt a serious thirst.

What followed was a terrible headache and a feeling of warmth in my body.

Gritting my teeth, I struggled to get up and walked to the refrigerator.

Gulp gulp-

When the cold water entered my body, I felt somewhat relieved.

The dizziness in my head seemed to ease a bit.

…But my body was still hot.

‘Am I sick?’

Maybe it’s because I hadn’t slept on the floor in a while.

My body might be struggling to adjust to a new environment.

“I need some cold medicine…”

I’ll probably have to go out and buy it.

These days, everything can get delivered, but I guess cold medicine isn’t available for delivery.

With a glimmer of hope, I searched for ‘cold medicine delivery’, but all I found were ads for cold medicine I’d never seen before.

I had to go out, whether I liked it or not.

Honestly, it was a hassle.

Grrr-

Should I go out to get cold medicine or not?

As I pondered this, my stomach began to grumble.

When I checked the time, it was already morning.

“I should order delivery… Huh?”

Excited about the possibility of ordering delivery, I suddenly stopped humming.

If I didn’t mishear, my voice sounded a bit strange.

“Ah, ahh.”

After testing my voice a few times, it became clear.

My voice had changed overnight.

And it was an extremely feminine voice.

Naturally, my gaze fell downwards.

What I saw was two large mounds that had never been there before.

Soft- Squish squish-

When I touched the mounds with my hand, the sensation was incredibly nice.

Soft and bouncy, I couldn’t help but feel addicted… Wait a second.

“…Are these breasts?”

These are definitely boobs.

Why do I have them…?

Doubts morphed into suspicions.

Suspicion turned to certainty.

Certainty created confusion.

My already dizzy head became even more complicated.

I hurried to the bathroom and checked my reflection in the mirror.

Long, black hair mixed gracefully with red.

Eyes with a color resembling blood but not fully red.

Above all, two massive mounds exuding a powerful presence.

…And a woman so beautiful it was hard to believe.

Such a woman stared back at me from the mirror.

“What the hell.”

I cursed in disbelief.

But even my curses sounded sexy.

…I wanted to deny the reality before my eyes.

But I couldn’t deny it at all.

Overnight, I had turned into a woman.
