Chapter 1870 – 1870. Eternal Eden
D-1.
2 PM.
I was sitting blankly in a van.
Tomorrow, the zombie virus will break out, and the world will enter a zombie apocalypse. Well, it’s not like the apocalypse will lead to complete destruction. Countries are already prepared. It’ll just take a few months to clean up. Maybe even over a year.
I was also done with my preparations. Technologist Na Chaeyoung had decided to follow me, and through a deal with Taehwang, I had gathered all the necessities, including food, at my base, Seongak Elementary School. Enough for 500 people to live without worry for over a year. In fact, you could say all preparations were complete.
But my goal wasn’t survival.
It was to grow my power in the chaos-ridden Korea and take over the country. To become the king of Korea. I had no intention of holing up in my base until things calmed down.
‘But how do I become the king of Korea? There would be mountains of guys who would refuse even if I forced loyalty… Should I threaten them with a knife?’
I thought about the future.
Nothing came to mind.
‘Ah, should I ask Na Chaeyoung to do a nurse roleplay today?’
I imagined Na Chaeyoung in a nurse’s uniform, expressionless, straddling me and spreading her legs. Inside the tight nurse’s skirt, her no-panty pussy would be wet with clear fluid.
Knock knock.
Someone knocked on the driver’s side door. I wiped the drool from my mouth with the back of my hand and turned my head to see an old man with a hunched back.
I lowered the driver’s side window.
“Old man. Just go.”
The old man’s face instantly contorted.
“You rude bastard! Parking is prohibited here! Can’t you see what’s written there?!”
The old man pointed to the fence. It was indeed marked as a no-parking zone. My nose was itchy, so I picked it. A big booger stuck to my fingernail. It felt refreshing.
“I’ll leave soon, so just go.”
Thump.
The booger I casually flicked landed squarely on the old man’s forehead.
“Oh.”
“Y-you! You! You rude bastard! Is that how your parents raised you?!”
Knock knock knock! He pounded on the driver’s side door. The van shook slightly with each hit.
“Ah, fuck.”
Annoyed, I swung my fist and punched the old man in the face.
Thwack!
The old man fell backward, bleeding. His nose was definitely broken.
Thud! The sound of his head hitting the ground reached my ears. I leaned out the window and looked at the old man lying on the ground.
He looked definitely dead.
“I hit him lightly, but he died.”
I had been working out a lot.
‘No. He might still be alive.’
I got out of the driver’s seat and checked the old man’s pulse.
“…A good death.”
Tomorrow, this old man might become a zombie due to the D virus. In that case, dying by my fist was a good death.
‘The zombie outbreak will happen tomorrow, but if I leave the corpse on the street like this, the police will come after me.’
That wasn’t what I wanted. I looked around. It was 2 PM, so there weren’t any people walking around.
I grabbed the corpse with both hands and threw it over the fence to dispose of it.
I got back into the driver’s seat and sat blankly.
‘Sex….’
It had been a while since I had heard the word “Master.” Na Chaeyoung would look good in a maid cosplay too.
Time passed, and it was 3 PM.
I got out of the van and started walking. At the end of the alley, I saw a traditional Korean house. There was a sign that read 卍Shinambosal卍. It was a shaman’s house.
‘…Fuck. Why is it so quiet? They said they were filming a drama here at 3 PM.’
D-1.
I came here to kidnap an actress. Her name was Yoo Eunha. She was a villainous actress who, despite not being thirty yet, was one of the most well-known actresses in Korea. Not only was her acting good, but she also had a lot of scandals. It was like she was constantly causing scandals to draw people’s attention.
Her looks were top-tier, even among pretty actresses. Her figure was also amazing. So, I planned to kidnap her here at the drama set when there weren’t many people around. It would be easier and better to go to her house and kidnap her, but I didn’t know where Yoo Eunha lived.
‘Yesterday, the fan cafe said they were filming a drama here. Why isn’t anyone here?’
I passed the 卍Shinambosal卍 sign and entered the shaman’s house. The smell of incense was strong. And, as expected of a shaman’s house, there were colorful cloths hanging everywhere.
I walked into the house.
“Are you a guest?”
A woman in her mid-30s, wearing a red shaman’s robe, was sitting there. She was a shaman. Maybe she wanted to give off a strong vibe, but she was glaring at me with both eyes. Her gaze was so annoying that I almost ran over and soccer-kicked her.
In front of the shaman was a small table. Incense was burning on the table.
“Let me ask you something. They said they were filming a drama here? Why isn’t anyone here?”
“Did you come to watch the drama filming? The filming was canceled this morning. They didn’t tell me the reason.”
“…Really?”
Something felt off.
‘I just wasted my time. Finding Yoo Eunha… it’ll be hard for now.’
I sighed.
“You seem to have worries. Even though I look like this, I’m the famous Shinambosal, known for being accurate. Ask me anything. Don’t you have any worries you’ve been holding onto? I’ll answer them!”
“Oh. I do have something I’m curious about.”
I approached the shaman and looked down at her. I made eye contact with the shaman, who had her chin up. The shaman’s expression hardened. Her shoulders trembled slightly.
“Am I destined to be a king?”
The shaman’s eyes shook. She was scared. Did she get scared just from making eye contact? I couldn’t understand it.
“Answer me.”
The wind blew in from the open door behind me, extinguishing the burning incense.
The shaman lowered her head. Her forehead, both elbows, and both knees touched the floor. It was an *oche-tuji*.
“I, I greet the Emperor!!”
“So, I wasn’t destined to be a king. Well, nothing I can do about it.”
I turned around and went outside. I was going to kill her if she spouted nonsense because I wouldn’t tolerate cults in my Korea, but she seemed somewhat skilled.
• • •
10 PM.
I drove the van to a Korean restaurant called Yeongsinjeong. It was already closed, but the kitchen of Yeongsinjeong was lit up. As a restaurant frequented by high-ranking people, it was a beautifully built traditional Korean house.
I had visited this place a few days ago, and it was the most delicious food I had eaten in this world. Although, it couldn’t compare to Yuria’s cooking.
I climbed over the wall and went inside. There was even an elegant pond in the yard. The atmosphere was amazing.
I burst into the kitchen. There were two women. One was a middle-aged woman, and the other was a young woman. Both were beautiful. Kim Hyunsuk and Shin Hajeong. Kim Hyunsuk was the owner and chef of Yeongsinjeong, and Shin Hajeong was her daughter and employee.
“W-who are you? This is a restricted area…”
“It’s annoying, so I’ll explain later.”
I rushed at them and grabbed their necks. *Zap!* I used a low-powered electric shock, similar to a stun gun, to knock them out. I grabbed them by their waists with both hands and prepared to move them to the van.
‘Hmm. It smells delicious. Were they preparing the dishes for tomorrow? Ah, it would be good to take things like kimchi and soybean paste.’
After taking a few things, the van was full. I took them to Seongak Elementary School.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the end of it, so I got back behind the wheel of the van.
‘Na Chaeyoung said we need a doctor.’
Unlike me, who had the ability to recover, Na Chaeyoung was done for if she got hurt once. And since a lot of people would be gathering at the base, we definitely needed to kidnap a doctor. There was no guarantee that there would be a doctor among the people who gathered.
Of course, I had already investigated the doctors. And since it was better if she was a beautiful doctor, I headed to Mapo-gu.
2 AM.
I arrived at the general hospital I was aiming for. I looked up at the hospital. Most of the lights were off, but some were still on. The emergency room was obviously lit. *Beep beep.* An ambulance was seen leaving the hospital.
It seemed quieter than I had expected. I approached a nurse with dead eyes and asked.
“Where is Dr. Yang Subin?”
“Dr. Yang is currently… wait, who are you? You don’t seem like an emergency patient…”
The nurse couldn’t finish her sentence. At the same time, her face turned pale. It was because she saw my arm. A large amount of blood was streaming down my left arm. It was worth it to cut my left arm with a knife before meeting the nurse.
“C-come this way!!”
I was able to meet the surgeon, Yang Subin.
Her hair was tied back, and she had a clean face.
Yang Subin was a woman famous for being a beautiful doctor. She had recently appeared on medical-related TV programs.
“Come here. Let’s stop the bleeding first…”
Yang Subin’s eyes widened when she saw my arm. The blood had already stopped flowing due to my recovery, and the wound was healing visibly.
“Dr. Yang. Let’s go together.”
“……Who are you?”
“I don’t have time for a long explanation. You seem pretty cold, so I’ll give you a choice. Will you just come? Or will you come after being knocked out?”
I grabbed Yang Subin’s shoulder as she took a step back. I saw her quietly grab a scalpel.
*Zap zap zap!*
I caught her body as she fell unconscious.
‘It would be good to take some medicine too, right? Let’s take everything I see for now.’
A nurse came in, so I knocked her out as well. If it had been a man, I would have killed him.
I drove the heavily loaded van to Seongak Elementary School.
‘It’s about to start.’
I turned on the radio and adjusted the frequency.
-A meteorite is falling from the sky! It’s the 128th meteorite! As NASA announced, it’s the largest meteorite to fall so far! Right now, nuclear missiles are being launched all over the world to stop the meteorite! Thousands of nuclear missiles are flying into space! Every country has launched all of its nuclear missiles for the sake of the Earth and humanity! Nuclear missiles are being launched from Korea as well!
The night sky lit up. Dozens of nuclear missiles launched from Gangwon-do were heading into space.
‘All the nuclear missiles, huh.’
In the original [Eternal Game], they would have really launched all the nuclear missiles. But this world has changed from the original setting due to the players. Did they really launch all the nuclear missiles? No way.
It was around the time I arrived at Seongak Elementary School.
-The 128th meteorite has been destroyed!
The announcer shouted with joy.
I looked up at the night sky. I could see pieces of the broken meteorite falling to the ground.
-The Earth is safe!
Come to think of it, today was D-Day.
