Chapter 2216 – 2216. Gyeongseong 2033
[The game will now end.]
Returning from the Dark Moon world, I opened my palm. I manipulated mana to weave a magic formula.
“……”
There was no reaction.
I clenched my fist for no reason. It was in my magical memory, but since it wasn’t knowledge from this world, it had become useless.
‘Ah, whatever. Let’s check my points first.’
[Sung Yu-jin
Level: 93
Strength: 130 Stamina: 130 Agility: 130 Intelligence: 130 Vitality: 140 Mana: 140]
[Available Points: 22,590]
I hadn’t accumulated as many points as I thought. I clicked my tongue in disappointment but still used the points on my stats.
[Sung Yu-jin
Level: 93
Strength: 140 Stamina: 130 Agility: 130 Intelligence: 130 Vitality: 140 Mana: 140]
[Available Points: 7,590]
I had 7,590 points left. It was ambiguous. If I used them on stats, I could only raise five stats in the 130s. And only three in the 140s.
Should I invest in stats? Seeing stats with numbers that don’t quite line up feels uncomfortable.
‘It’s not that urgent anyway. Let’s save the points.’
What about using them for a random draw?
I gritted my teeth at the sudden temptation of the devil. What if I didn’t get anything useful and wasted all my points? I could earn them again, but it would still take my time and effort.
‘It’s not like there’s anything I want to buy.’
I just want to do a draw.
I fiddled with my smartphone to shake off the temptation of the draw. It’s better to read webtoons or web novels at times like this.
‘Oh? Gyeongseong 2033. It’s finished.’
It was a webtoon I had been keeping an eye on recently. It was mid-to-low in popularity. The content and art style didn’t match the current trends, so opinions were quite divided.
‘The story is so-so, but there’s one female character I like.’
A female character with I-cup breasts.
The disappointing thing was that she wasn’t the heroine. The story wasn’t related to romance, so there were few service scenes.
‘Damn it. If you’re not going to draw many service scenes, why set a female character with I-cup breasts?’
I knew the answer. It was for the sake of attracting attention. In fact, I was also drawn to this work by the picture of the I-cup female character.
‘Ah, I really want to bang her.’
I had the ability to bang her. The problem was that I didn’t have a game slot at my disposal, so I couldn’t enter right now.
“Oh, what the fuck?”
I cursed out loud. It was because the I-cup female character died at the end.
“Killing off the main character at the end? Is the author crazy?”
In my head, the I-cup female character was the main character. The real main character was an idiot who hesitated to kill and justified it with bullshit.
‘Does that author want to die?’
I didn’t like the ending.
The main character, feeling disgusted by what he had done, decides to become a recluse, but is eventually betrayed and discarded.
A new revolution sweeps through Gyeongseong, and it ends. It doesn’t tell you whether the revolution succeeded or failed.
‘I don’t care that the main character is betrayed, but what happens to Korea’s independence? Damn it. It’s an open ending after all.’
It was one of the endings I didn’t like.
The ending I hated the most was the ‘it was all a dream’ ending.
‘Killing off the I-cup at the end. Is he really crazy?’
The comments were also a mess. Most people were cursing the author. There were quite a few people who were watching this webtoon because of the I-cup female character, like me. Of course, there were more people who were angry because the main character died.
‘Ha, damn it. I don’t like it.’
I looked around the game life app for no reason. I could go into the creation, bang the female character, and kill all the guys I didn’t like.
As I looked around, I checked the updated quest.
[Gyeongseong 2033
Imperialism has not disappeared and continues to this day.
The Allied Powers have been defeated, and the Axis Powers have won.
Korea failed to gain independence and spent the 20th century under Japanese rule.
2033.
Even in an advanced civilization, brutal imperialism is rampant. Even in the darkness, the flame of independence is faintly burning.
You are the protagonist of Gyeongseong 2033, the surviving heir of an independence activist family.
Liberate Korea from the Japanese Empire or kill the Prime Minister of the Japanese Empire.
Quest Success Condition: Korean Independence or Assassination of the Prime Minister of the Japanese Empire.
Quest Success Reward: Come On Baby. 30,000 points.
※There is a penalty.]
‘If the success condition was Korean independence, my head would have exploded… Killing the Japanese Prime Minister? That’s easy, right?’
Killing a Japanese Prime Minister who is steeped in peace wouldn’t be difficult, would it?
‘Come On Baby. That’s a good item too.’
[Come On Baby
Summons the target to your location.
Price: 70,000 points
※Caution
You must know the target’s face and name.]
Forcibly summoning the target to your location? Depending on how you use it, it could be a finishing move.
‘Plus, I can get 30,000 more points. Just for killing the Japanese Prime Minister.’
I could assassinate the Japanese Prime Minister with a makeshift gun, couldn’t I? I felt like it was possible.
With this level of difficulty, isn’t this a free quest?
I clicked on the quest.
[You have selected the ‘Gyeongseong 2033’ quest.]
[There is a penalty.]
[All stats are adjusted according to a ratio.]
[Physical abilities are reduced to 10%.]
[This is a world where mana does not exist. You cannot use mana.]
[You cannot use the inventory.]
[Combat talent is given as an advantage.]
[You can only choose one skill or trait.]
‘Only one? Then I have to choose hacking. Full recovery is good too, but given the setting, hacking is more versatile.’
[You have selected the skill Hacking (Lv.20).]
[You have accepted the quest.]
[The game will now begin.]

I opened my eyes on a hospital bed.
I immediately got up to check my condition. My body was 90% weaker than my real physical abilities, but it was still far superior to that of an average person.
‘There’s a strange feeling on my neck.’
I touched my neck with my hand. I felt the cold sensation of steel.
‘If I’m set as the original protagonist… this must be a bomb collar.’
I checked the date. March 1, 2033.
I realized it was the starting point of the first episode of the original story. The reason why I was wearing the bomb was revealed in a flashback. It wasn’t a big deal. It was because the protagonist’s younger brother, who was the heir of an independence activist family, betrayed his family and the nation and became a pro-Japanese traitor. He wasn’t trusted by the Righteous Flower Corps, an independence movement group, so he volunteered to be a hunting dog.
‘Even if I remove this collar in the middle, it’ll end with a betrayal ending.’
It was annoying to act with a bomb on my neck. I immediately used hacking.
[Hacking successful.]
[You can hack the bomb collar for 2 hours.]
Click.
A capsule fell from the bomb collar. I caught it as if snatching it in mid-air.
‘Liquid explosive capsule.’
Now that I’ve removed the capsule, it won’t explode even if I press the detonator. The bomb collar was now just a collar.
I lay back down on the bed and closed my eyes.
About an hour later, someone opened the door and came in.
It was a woman in a suit and four men. The woman was middle-aged, small, and looked like a strict auntie.
“Sung Yu-jin. How’s your body?”
“If I say I’m in pain, will you give me a break?”
“We already know your body is fine. You’ve adapted to Jinka 66, so your physical abilities should have increased overall.”
Jinka 66.
It was a type of evolution serum. If you survived after injecting it into your body, you could gain physical abilities that surpassed ordinary people and some superpowers.
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s a mission. It’s your first mission as a member of the Righteous Flower Corps. Don’t forget that everyone in the Righteous Flower Corps is watching you. Most of them don’t think well of you either.”
“Auntie. Enough with the nonsense. Just explain the mission.”
“A pro-Japanese gang called Guilpa has taken root in Jongno. Kill the boss of Guilpa. The Chrysanthemum Team will be watching you. If you can’t kill a gang boss after taking Jinka 66, it means you’re useless, and you’ll be disposed of on the spot.”
The auntie glared at me with intensity. What’s she going to do if she glares? Feeling amused, I asked the auntie.
“You’re not telling me to go empty-handed, are you?”
The auntie gestured. The men behind her brought a bag and opened it. There were pistols, ammunition, knives, daggers, and bulletproof vests.
“These are the Beretta 92 and the knives and daggers made with a special alloy that you requested. Grenades were rejected. The bulletproof vest is also the latest model. Get armed and come out within an hour. You will move to the mission location in a van with the Chrysanthemum Team.”
“Okay. Go away.”
“…You have no manners. Were you always this kind of person?”
“Didn’t you say that some people’s personalities change after taking Jinka 66?”
“……”
The auntie glared at me and left with her subordinates.
I held the pistol in my hand and aimed it in different directions.
‘I was going to give up on the gun because I don’t have a shooting trait… but I have a sense for it. So this is what they meant by gaining combat talent?’
With this, there was no need to give up on the gun. I armed myself, taking the knives.
After that, I got into the van that the auntie had mentioned. Inside the spacious interior, two women were sitting. The woman with a small height and build was chewing gum. The other woman, with I-cup breasts, was wearing black gloves.
“Hey, newbie. Hurry up.”
The small woman snapped, popping her bubble gum.
“You came just in time. It’s not like you’re late… but it would be nice if you came a little earlier than the appointment time, right?”
The I-cup breasted woman said to me. I glanced at her chest and sat down.
Soon, the van started and set off somewhere. The windows were covered with curtains, so I couldn’t see outside. Conversely, the inside wouldn’t be visible from the outside either.
“Since it’s our first time meeting, should we introduce ourselves? I’m Widow. Of course, that’s not my real name.”
The I-cup breasted woman said.
Should I pounce on her now? No, there are people here. Should I force myself on her? Should I take the time to seduce her? I’m conflicted. Seducing her is annoying, so I’m drawn to the rape option.
“You haven’t even made your debut yet, so what’s with the introductions? Just complete your first mission.”
The little girl said sharply. She threw something at me. It was a Hahoe mask.
