Chapter 1897 – 1897. Eternal Eden
Lee Yeon-hee, who had been calm all along, had her eyes shaking violently. It was as if she was replaying what she had just heard in her head several times.
She barely managed to open her mouth.
“…You’re going to North Korea? Do you mean you’re going to infiltrate?”
Every South Korean man has imagined it at least once. Infiltrating North Korea and assassinating the supreme leader. Then, North and South Korea would unify, and the Korean Peninsula would be at peace. That’s what they think.
“That’s right.”
Of course, I don’t think that just because the North Korean supreme leader dies, we can immediately unify.
“We’ll just kill all the North Korean power-hungry bastards. There might be some chaos, but if all the leaders are dead, what can the underlings do?”
“China, Japan, and Russia won’t stand still. We don’t know what the US will do either.”
“Why should we care about what they think when we’re the ones who need to unify?”
“International politics aren’t that simple. Each has its own interests. It’s not for nothing that North Korea is called a puppet of China. China will be the biggest objector.”
“Then we’ll have to do it another way.”
“…Can I hear it?”
“We’ll seduce the North Korean pig.”
It wasn’t about sending a woman to seduce him with a honey trap. Dictators are always surrounded by beautiful women. To seduce such a guy with a honey trap, you’d have to find a beauty that could shake the world. And I should be the one to have such a beauty.
“How do you mean?”
“……”
I almost spoke without thinking, but I stopped myself.
No matter how much money you have, no matter how much power you wield, there are things you can’t obtain.
Health. Youth. Eternal life.
I could give them all. Health was a given, and I had recently learned through experiments that I could reverse aging. Overcoming those two meant immortality. Eternal life.
My plan was this: I would use my ability, recovery, to seduce the North Korean pig and make him follow me. When Korea was unified and on a safe path, I would slit the pig’s throat.
‘That bastard’s face is yellow… he looks unhealthy. He wouldn’t want to die, so he’ll cooperate.’
I had to go to North Korea myself. I had to meet him to use my recovery ability. And I had to hide my ability from others. I couldn’t even tell Lee Yeon-hee about recovery. I couldn’t trust her.
“The government will never allow it. There’s no point in provoking North Korea and the surrounding countries right now. Above all, the current government doesn’t want a forced unification through military force. It would do more harm than good.”
“Okay, okay. Let’s pretend this conversation never happened.”
Lee Yeon-hee was negative. Just as I expected. It would be strange if anyone followed me if I suddenly said we should unify.
But I had already decided in my head to carry out the unification plan. The population was already decreasing due to the D virus, and I had to prevent the population from decreasing further due to war. There were too many bastards who would be happy if a war broke out in Korea, and that was even more infuriating.
‘If that guy doesn’t cooperate… I’ll have to put another suitable guy in his place. It’s difficult to execute right now because of my stamina issues. If only I had a space-time scroll, I could execute it right away.’
I looked at Lee Yeon-hee. She seemed like a sharp woman, but was I mistaken? She was staring blankly into space.
“Unification…”
“Don’t you like the idea of unification?”
Lee Yeon-hee snapped back to her senses.
“…No. It’s not that. Unification is a long-cherished wish of every citizen of the Republic of Korea. But it’s such a difficult task that it’s hard to even talk about. I’ve met many high-ranking officials since I came to this position, but they were only using unification as a political tool. No one was genuinely thinking about unification and trying to achieve it. You, Yoo-jin, are a true patriot.”
“I’m the best when it comes to patriotism. There aren’t many people who think about Korea like I do.”
It was the Republic of Korea that I had to rule. There was no reason not to be patriotic.
Lee Yeon-hee’s mouth slightly opened at my answer. It was the look of an impressed woman.
I had a hunch.
I had been wondering how to get Lee Yeon-hee, and now I saw the direction.
‘I wondered why such a beauty was working in a place like the NIS… it’s patriotism.’
I didn’t know how she had developed such patriotism.
‘Let’s not be too sure. Should I throw out some bait?’
I took a sip of my tea and asked Lee Yeon-hee.
“If we unify, Korea will develop further, right?”
“There will be problems. It’s a matter of 25 million North Koreans suddenly flowing in. Even if that number has decreased due to the D virus, Korea’s population has also decreased… The border won’t disappear right away. Companies are likely to advance into North Korea first. But over time, Korea will become stronger.”
Lee Yeon-hee continued calmly. But her words were faster and more numerous than before. It meant it was an interesting topic.
‘This is the first time I’ve seen a woman with such patriotism.’
I looked at her with curious eyes. While thinking about how to capture her in my head.

My life at Sungak Elementary School was monotonous.
I wake up late in the morning. I eat a Michelin-chef-prepared brunch and then train. I had to keep training my body to avoid getting weaker. I used to do it alone, but recently I’ve been doing it with Choi Hye-jin.
It was fun to grope Choi Hye-jin’s body while pretending to teach her how to exercise. Choi Hye-jin would lash out every time, but she couldn’t beat me.
After training, I meet the women. There were quite a few beauties who had taken refuge at Sungak Elementary School. Since I was the king here, there were hardly any women who tried to offend me. Even the beauties who were disgusted by me would come crawling if I gave them valuable items that were now impossible to obtain. If I gave them a title like manager, they were very happy. It’s not like women don’t like power.
Recently, the expansion construction was underway, so the number of people had increased even more.
There were problems with food and supplies, but we were trying to be as self-sufficient as possible. Na Chae-young’s power was a great help. She could make machines, so forming a small factory was nothing to her.
We were also operating a smart farm. The amount of food we could get was small, but. As time went on, self-sufficiency was becoming more and more perfect.
Dinner was as delicious as lunch. After that, I would flirt with Na Chae-young or Yang Soo-bin. They were busy these days. Na Chae-young was busy researching the technology she had received from the US, and Yang Soo-bin was busy seeing patients as the population increased.
When I had time, I would torture David Kim and Kyle Munson. This was also training. Training to use recovery.
‘It’s not too hard to revive a dead body right away.’
I succeeded in making old Kyle into a young body. Conversely, I couldn’t make a young body old. It meant that once something was recovered, it couldn’t be recovered again.
“That’s a real cheat ability.”
Choi Hye-jin, who was next to me, said with a dumbfounded expression, her hands in the pockets of her baseball jacket. I agreed with her words.
“Why are you here again?”
“I’m just trying to figure out the secret to your ridiculous strength. After I figure out the secret, I’ll pay you back for all the humiliation I’ve suffered, so look forward to it.”
“Huh.”
I didn’t bother to monitor Choi Hye-jin. Choi Hye-jin had no relatives. It meant that she had nowhere to go even if she went outside of Sungak Elementary School.
And she had nothing to do. There was a lack of entertainment at Sungak Elementary School. Bored, Choi Hye-jin was always hanging around me. She even put up with my sexual harassment. It was already something she was used to.
‘She’s like a puppy following her owner around.’
I looked at Choi Hye-jin up and down with fresh eyes. Choi Hye-jin was always wearing the same black baseball jacket with an eagle on it and a baseball cap. Her underwear was also a plain sports bra. She always wore hot pants, as if she liked to show off her legs. It wasn’t because she was hot. If she was, she wouldn’t be wearing a baseball jacket in this weather in the first place.
‘But her sneakers change often. And every time I see them, they’re clean.’
Today, her sneakers were different again. They were white with gold accents. The design was quite stylish. They looked like sneakers made for display, not for wearing.
“Where did you get those sneakers? How do you have different sneakers every time?”
“I get tired of wearing the same sneakers.”
“I asked where you got them?”
“……”
Choi Hye-jin didn’t answer. It wasn’t hard to guess how she got the sneakers.
Old habits die hard. She had stolen them or robbed someone.
“Don’t cause trouble.”
“I traded for them fairly, so mind your own business.”
“Trade? What do you have?”
“…The snacks you give me. And weapons.”
“You sold weapons?”
“Ah, I didn’t sell guns. You know, the ones the security team uses.”
“Batons?”
“Yeah. That and the stab-proof vest? I traded them for those.”
“You crazy bitch. Do you know how valuable those are in this day and age?”
Especially the stab-proof vest set was almost essential in this era of rampant zombies. Even ordinary people would feel confident just by wearing a stab-proof vest.
“What! You use them to buy women!”
“It’s mine, so I can use it however I want! But you can’t!”
“Ah, fuck. You’re just a perverted bastard who touches my body. Why are you making such a fuss over me using it a little?”
“Hey, you crazy bitch. If you’re going to use it, you should use it properly! You traded those precious things for sneakers?!”
“These are limited edition?! Even before the world ended, you couldn’t get these easily!”
Choi Hye-jin was a crazy bitch.
I had tried to beat her to a pulp to educate her, but that was only temporary. The next day, Choi Hye-jin would be cocky again.
‘She was easier to handle when she was in her beast state. I need to change my education method.’
If education with fists didn’t work, I had to educate her with my dick.
I decided to fuck Choi Hye-jin.
