Chapter 4 – Episode 4. Size
Thump thump
The beating of the heart doesn’t stop.
If I hadn’t, I could have been in real trouble.
‘I need to think a little more before moving from now on. A small mistake can make your life come and go…’
Looking at the food spread in front of the door of rest, I said to Jisoo.
“Clean this up.”
Ji-soo walked over and grabbed the fallen food, and he was at a loss for what to do.
Seeing that figure, I cried out in agony.
“Damn it, just put it in the corner! Why are you so stupid?”
When I screamed, it was only then that Jisu staggered and began to pile up food in the inner corner.
‘Brother, aren’t you a bit stupid? Why can’t I understand people’s language?’
Jisoo’s angrier voice that I heard while working came to mind.
Nausea came out of my mouth spontaneously.
“Ah, bitch. I pretended to be smart and eventually became a servant of the baby. Under! Look good!”
In spite of my ridicule and venomous remarks, Jisoo just silently moved the food.
Feeling depressed for some reason, I opened the door and came out, leaving Jisoo alone.
I slowly walked towards the entrance of the PC room and looked down the stairs.
I don’t feel any sign of anything.
“I don’t know when they will come up again. It would be better to keep the door of rest open while summoned.”
I went back inside and approached the window.
The windows of the PC room are all covered with a stage, so you can’t see outside.
If you want to see outside, you have to open the window.
I stuck to the window and gently opened it.
“…I’m exhausted.”
As expected, the outside is a mess.
Since it was a PC room on the street in an entertainment district, there must have been a lot of people coming and going on the street.
But what you see on the streets now are countless corpses.
Black smoke could be seen rising from a building in the distance, probably from a fire.
And a bunch of green monsters walking among the corpses.
Monsters busily coming and going through the streets making a gurgling, boiling sound.
I bit my lip and quietly closed the window.
‘What should I do? There is food, but you can’t hide while eating only that forever.’
I sighed and put on a gloomy expression.
At that time,
Again, the sound of monsters heard beyond the entrance of the PC room.
‘Shit. I don’t know how to give up Dog-like bastards.’
I turned quickly and entered the door of rest.
In the cradle of rest, Jisoo seemed to have finished organizing before he knew it, and he was standing still with food piled up in the inner corner.
I left the door of rest open and looked at the entrance of the PC room.
After a while, a huge figure enters the PC room.
A monster with a different appearance than the green monster I saw earlier came in.
Her skin color is the same as that of the green monster.
However, he was tall and had a muscular body that looked one head taller than me.
In his hand, he is holding a club that looks like a baseball bat three times as fat.
‘If I get hit by the club that I swung with that arm, it’ll just explode…’
I stared at the large green monster with tired eyes.
One of the existing green monsters followed the big guy behind him.
Seeing him standing with his size made him look cute.
The little guy came in and pointed his finger at the spot where the door to rest had previously been, making a squeak.
Then the big guy raised his stick and frowned (basically his face was distorted, so I can’t be sure, but he seemed to be frowning) and glared at the spot.
However, the door to rest has been moved to the inside of the PC room.
I was leisurely watching their actions from a few steps away.
‘If nothing happens, I will leave, right? Let’s stay quiet I can’t afford to deal with that big guy..’
The big green monster waited for a long time and when nothing happened, it screamed angrily and swung its club around.
Tables, flower pots, and partition walls were smashed and fragments flew here and there.
Fragments flew even to the cradle of rest where Jisoo and I were, but as expected, they just passed through without affecting us in any way.
Looking at it, I could feel the reassurance of this cradle of rest again.
The corpses lying on the floor were also not healthy due to the constant swinging of the club.
Bodies broken and shattered.
Seeing that, I felt sick to my stomach and struggled to endure the nausea that rose up in my throat.
‘If I could raise another one because the level went up, I tried to raise the corpse of Seongman, but I ate it all wrong. It’s been shattered like that…’
The big green monster, who had been snorting violently as if tired from swinging his club in the air for a long time, started looking around the PC room.
A big guy who walks around snorting with his club resting on his shoulder.
I came to the cradle of rest where Jisoo and I were, but as expected, it passed by as if it had just passed through.
I suddenly got greedy.
‘If I catch that guy… Wouldn’t the level go up? From what he looks like, he looks like a boss…’
I hurriedly opened the status window to check my status.
‘HP is 49, MP is 5… I just used it too much to experiment with the exploitation hand skill on Jisoo.
If I wait a little longer, I think I’ll be able to use the hand of exploitation at least once. I’ll only attack through the door of rest anyway.’
I went to the open door of rest and pointed my spear outward.
If the big guy passed by the door, he was going to stab him right away.
‘It’s good if you get mortally wounded or die. If it doesn’t work…’
I tried to calm my pounding heart and waited quietly.
The little green monster seemed to be looking for something to eat in front of the counter.
The older one was walking around wielding a club.
The opportunity was seldom seen.
You have to pass right in front of the door to be able to stab it, but he was wandering around, but he seldom passed in front of the door.
By the time I think I should give up on this,
Finally, the big one passed in front of the door of rest.
What you see through the door is the guy’s side.
If you could see the front, you would have aimed and stabbed the heart, but what you see from the door is the guy’s side.
I wanted to stab him in the head, but he had a stick hanging over his shoulder, so his head was blocked.
If so, there is one place you can aim for.
I grabbed the club and slung it over his shoulder, so I pierced his empty side with a spear.
Fu-wook
The window doesn’t fit as expected.
I thought it would go deep enough because the strength stat also went up due to leveling up, but I felt a considerable repulsive force and the spear was only half as good as I thought.
However, it is clear that it is not a small wound.
“Keew!!!”
A huge screaming hunk.
I pushed with the strength in the hand holding the spear.
The hulking struggled in the pain of grinding his flesh, then grasped the spearhead of the spear stuck in his side with the other hand, but he swung and pulled it.
The tip of the spear that had been lodged in it rips through the flesh of his side and protrudes along with blood.
And
“Uh, uh uh!!”
Holding on to the handle of the spear, I was carried out the door.
My body soared into the air and I was blown away in a large parabolic arc, and flew towards the counter, where I was entangled with the little green monster and rolled.
“Kheuheouk!”
I fell to the floor with a loud noise and felt like I was about to lose consciousness from the intense pain that surged through my body.
Fortunately, the little green monster on the shelf became my cushion and absorbed the shock, so my life must have been attached.
Losing consciousness is death.
I forced my closed eyes and looked at the figure.
The wound on the hulking’s side looked pretty serious.
The enormous amount of blood flowing made it clear that it was not an ordinary wound.
A hulking figure with his left hand gripping his side and glaring at me with bloodshot eyes.
He also seemed very surprised and couldn’t move right away.
If something jumps out of the air, attacks, pulls it, and a person comes out with it, it’s surprising enough.
However, I was surprised for a while, and the pain from the wound seemed to come to my senses, and it tried to run towards me while snorting.
I tried to get up somehow to avoid it, but my body wouldn’t move.
“Shit!! Seo Ji-soo! Attack!!!”
As he clenched his teeth and shouted, Jisoo jumped out of the door of rest with a dagger and clung to the back of the big man, taking a picture of his back.
“Kwaaaaa!!”
He struggles to catch Seo Ji-soo, who is hanging behind his back with a scream.
In the meantime, I put my hand on the small green monster that had passed out under me.
“Hand of Exploitation!!”
Black smoke formed from his hands and spread all over the green monster’s body.
Before long, I felt something being sucked in, and I felt power coming through my body.
“Uh, uh…”
What enters me is the life force of the little green monster.
Unlike me, who gradually regained strength, the green monster’s green face grew pale and stretched out.
Before long, feeling almost recovered, I got up.
Kwaaang
I heard a loud noise and turned around to see Jisoo, who was eventually caught by the big guy, thrown, smashing the computers and crashing to the ground.
The hunk’s nerves were now turned to Jisoo.
He snorts and walks towards Jisoo who is stuck on the floor.
I hurriedly grabbed the dagger the green monster was holding and ran to the hulking.
The back of the hulking shows quite a split scar.
It seemed that only the outer skin was digging hard without being able to pierce with Jisoo’s power.
“Whoaaaaagh!”
I shouted and ran and stabbed the dagger into the wound on the back of the back that Jisoo had dug up earlier.
Maybe I didn’t think I would get up and attack again, but the size that was focused on Jisoo allowed my attack.
I may not have been able to break through with the power of the index, but I can.
My dagger pierced through the thick hide, and the hulking waved his hand again, trying to grab me from behind.
Boom, boom
I hear a sharp sound from the hand that is stirring to catch me.
I clung tenaciously to my back, holding the hilt of the dagger.
Soon, I felt that the hand I was wielding was trembling.
“Keuk, kreuk, kreuk…”
A heavy breather.
The guy flopped and fell to his knees.
Yet,
Fluff
A body that falls forward.
After that, I could feel a bright light burst from my body and a surge of strength.
[You have leveled up. Distribute skill points]
[You have leveled up. Distribute skill points]
Two messages reminding me of leveling up came to my mind, but they weren’t urgent.
I hurriedly ran to the place where Jisoo was stuck.
“Seo Ji-soo! Are you okay?”
Jisoo’s face on the floor was quite serious.
The limbs were twisted here and there as if they were broken, and black smoke was pouring out, as if the head had suffered a major wound.
I lifted Seo Ji-soo and entered the cradle of rest.
It’s so light that you can barely feel its weight, perhaps because of the increased strength stat.
He put down the crippled index on the floor and used the hand skill of exploitation.
The black smoke that started from his hand permeates Jisoo’s body.
After a while, Jisoo’s body was completely healed.
Only then did I feel relieved and sat down on the floor.
My arms are trembling.
‘I almost died this time. If there hadn’t been a little monster at the place where I flew… If it hadn’t been for Jisoo… I would have died.’
As if the trembling in her arms had transferred, now her whole body began to tremble.
I hurriedly shouted while holding my shoulders.
“Seo, Seo Ji-soo! Come here!”
Jisoo walked towards me with blank eyes.
I bit my lip and shouted at Jisoo.
“Me, hug me!”
When my order was given, Jisoo came over and gently hugged me.
Cold.
But warm
I was trembling for a long time, leaving my body to Jisoo.
He is stupid, frfr
