Chapter 14 – 14. Trading Day 1
I don’t know if other insomniacs are like me, but I suffered from insomnia to a truly terrible degree.
Before the world collapsed, everyday life was quite difficult because of this damn insomnia.
Even if I talked to someone else, it was difficult to get proper sympathy.
‘Can’t you sleep? ‘Try exercising.’
‘I guess I didn’t live the day to the fullest.’
‘Don’t use your smartphone when you sleep.’
Since most of them were just talking nonsense like this, those who thoughtlessly said such things didn’t say anything after that.
But when the world was ruined and that stupid window asking me to choose a skill appeared in front of me, I found salvation in it.
Sleep skills.
It’s a letter that made me excited just to look at it.
Putting him to sleep? You can let me sleep whenever I want? That… Is it possible for you too?
There were numerous other skills, but they didn’t catch my eye, and I chose the sleep skill without hesitation.
This is really being used, right? I can sleep when I want to, right?
“Sleep.”
I used the skill on myself without hesitation.
And nothing happened.
An uneasy feeling creeps up from beneath my belly button. Is it really that you can’t sleep even with this fantasy skill?
“Sleep! Sleep! Sleep!”
I wrote it again and again, but again nothing happened.
Doubt and despair slowly take hold of me.
I can’t shake the feeling that I failed because I couldn’t sleep and chose a strange skill.
Are you using this correctly? Aren’t you just fooling around on your own?
I wanted to see information about skills, but I didn’t know how.
What kind of people do this in real life? How is this possible?
And it would have been a god or an omnipotent being to do something like this, so why did they make it so uncomfortable and unfriendly?
“Status! Status window! Personal screen! List! Personal information!”
No matter how many likely commands you shout, nothing changes.
Fuck. I always hated people who made stupid tutorials while playing games, so why didn’t the people who did this even make a stupid tutorial? Or at least make it possible to view the manual.
“Settings window! Settings! Options! Change settings! Options window! Menu! Preferences! Yay, fuck!”
If something like an options window appears, there will be a shortcut key confirmation or settings window, so I try to check it there, but it doesn’t appear.
“Skill!”
I’m surprised.
Something appeared before my eyes.
Fuck, I was an asshole. If you want to see skill information, you have to open the skill window. I was trying something wrong.
The problem was that even when the skill window was opened, there was nothing displayed.
Only the skill name and proficiency level are written, but there is no explanation or any other information.
Under. I really want to see the face of the guy who made this.
When I die, will I be able to see the guy who made this? When I die, I will never forget and go see the guy who made this.
The only information that can be found in the skill window is proficiency level.
If you see that the proficiency level is 0.4, it means that the skill has been used.
Okay, so that doesn’t mean the skill won’t work, right? Did you just fail because your skill level was low?
I sat down again and used the skill.
“Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.”
Skill level increases.
In this case, there is one of two things: either my skill has a chance of success that is worse than that of throwing away rice, or my insomnia is that bad.
As I continued to use the skill, another question arose.
How does the skill activate? Does it only activate when you say sleep?
“Grow up.”
Skill level has increased.
Okay, I can speak faster this way.
“Grow up. Grow up. Grow up. Grow up. Grow up. Grow up. Grow up. Grow up.”
After using the skill like that a few times, at some point I fell asleep.
I woke up feeling groggy.
I checked the time, and it was already evening.
How many hours did you sleep? After attacking the group that came out of the underground shopping mall, I went home and slept right away, so I slept for almost ten hours.
I just get up and check the situation in the bunker.
After checking that the lock in Minji’s room was intact, I opened the window shade on the door.
Minji sitting awkwardly.
After confirming that it was alive, I covered the window again.
No need to worry about that bitch today.
As usual, I take a cup of ramen, pour water on it, and go to the monitor room.
I checked the monitor to make sure nothing happened and drank the cup ramen soup.
“Whoa.”
The day I finally get to meet Yeji.
I don’t know why I’m so excited.
No, I’m excited. I can’t help but feel excited when I can hug that hot body.
Immediately take off your clothes and take a bath.
It’s funny that I’m cleaning every inch of my body, but if it’s funny, I’m laughing.
You can’t erase the feeling of rushing through the series of actions such as washing, drying, getting dressed, getting ready, and coming out of the bunker.
Of course, when I think about Yeji, I’m already getting excited.
I pass through an empty alley and head towards the officetel.
A pounding heart, an excited heart. It’s like a child going on a picnic.
As I was hurrying, I heard footsteps in front.
Hide your body in the shadow of the alley next to you and look ahead.
The four men were talking among themselves and didn’t notice me.
Why don’t those who travel in groups pay attention to their surroundings?
Why do men become unnecessarily brave in groups?
If I keep it like this, I think they won’t notice me, but I’m not sure.
How will we do it? Should I just hold my breath and pray that no one notices?
No.
In the past, I would have done that to avoid unnecessary contact or conflict, but not now.
Four men were something to be avoided at all costs, but that is no longer the case.
The moment they got closest to me, I immediately put the other three to sleep except for the eldest-looking man and quietly ran to the man who was not asleep.
“Hey!? What!?
When all of his group suddenly fell, he swung his machete at the startled man’s neck.
The characteristic of an older man is that when a crisis arises, he does not reflexively use his skills, but instead uses the defense he is most familiar with.
The man who belatedly discovered my machete raised his arm to block the machete, but was unable to stop his neck from being cut in half.
When the man who fell like that looked at me and muttered something, something like a laser came out from the tip of his finger and shot towards me.
Fortunately, his aim was poor, so he didn’t hit me, but I was really surprised on the inside.
You’re fighting back while you’re searching? And what is that skill? Do you have a skill like that?
I don’t know who really made it, but I have to acknowledge its creativity.
It’s really amazing, it’s amazing.
The man who made the last struggle gushed out blood from his neck and disappeared.
A strange phenomenon where even the flowing blood disappears.
Yes, because of this, I no longer have any hesitation about killing people.
[6,112 coins obtained.]
After obtaining the fallen man’s coin, the remaining men got along well and sent them to the side of the man who went first.
[605 coins obtained.]
[594 coins obtained.]
[819 coins obtained.]
What the fuck? Are you guys following the man who died first?
I was dumbfounded when I saw a three-digit number coin that I hadn’t seen in a really long time.
Everything had already disappeared, so there was nothing to infer the relationship, but it didn’t matter.
Because men are not my interest anyway.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who goes around killing people like this, but seeing that there are still quite a few people out there makes me wonder if they’re less aggressive than I thought.
Or maybe people in our country have that tendency.
I wonder what happened to places like South America and China.
What happened to countries with poor security and no qualms about harming people? The world has become such a mess that there is no way to check.
Anyway, even though it was a bit reckless, I felt good after winning against four people.
The endless confidence that comes with it makes me intoxicated.
Usually, things go like this in an instant.
You have to be careful. Be careful.
I entered the basement of the officetel and carefully climbed the stairs.
The closer you get to the room of wisdom, the faster your heart beats.
Today, I feel like the way up the stairs is long and steep.
As I got closer to the floor where Yeji’s house was located, I heard something banging.
I tried to go without paying attention, but the sound came from the floor where Yeji was.
When I took out the mirror and looked down the hallway, I saw three men knocking on the door of a house, and I was surprised when I saw them.
Fuck? That’s Yeji’s house, right?
“Hey! There isn’t one!? There really isn’t one?”
“Look. It’s been a while since you’ve seen that bitch?”
“Oh shit. Why don’t we have one? If this is the case, where the fuck are we going to get beer!”
“It’s such a shame. I killed that bitch too.”
“What? Did you do it with that bitch?”
“You bastard. They say that Red Tong kills you. Who did it? If you had done it, would you have praised Red Tong? I would have said you were crazy, right?”
“Hay, are you going to do that with your baby? Kick.”
“What the fuck? Do you want to search?”
“Oh my. You? Me?”
“This bastard is discreetly dissing people? Don’t do it? Huh?”
“Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.”
I don’t know if they’re on good terms or if they’re on the verge of a fight, but I think it’s the former.
The men knocked on the door several more times.
First of all, I felt fortunate that Yeji wasn’t exposed, but I thought that if those bastards kept knocking on Yeji’s door, Yeji inside would be scared.
Wow, if anyone sees this, they’ll think I’m a lover.
Anyway, there doesn’t seem to be any benefit in keeping those bastards around.
Although I am more shallow than anyone else and do things like a sociopath, I don’t like seeing people who are shallow and of poor quality.
Since there were three of us, we let them sleep without any hesitation.
I walked in front of the men lying in front of the door and kicked the man in the cheek who was knocking on the door with my toe.
“You idiots.”
I swung the machete and cut all three of them.
Scent. Just today, the population of South Korea has been reduced by seven people.
[3.131 coins obtained.]
[2.024 coins were obtained.]
[3.201 coins obtained.]
As far as is known, coins can only be obtained by killing other people.
When I first opened the store, the default coin given was 500 coins.
In the end, having more than 500 coins means that they are bastards who go around killing people.
Even if I die, I have nothing to say.
I looked back at myself and thought it was funny that I was self-justifying in that way.
What are you doing now that you’ve already gone as far as you want?
Now that I was ready to meet Yeji, I took a deep breath and knocked.
Knock knock
A moment of silence, and then the sound of the lock being roughly unlocked.
Suddenly
The door opened and Yeji was seen, and tear marks were visible around her red cheeks, as if she had been crying.
After confirming that it was me, Yeji fell into a hug.
