Episode 108. Jeong Hyeon-su (2)
“… … I want to sleep.”
The burning player muttered.
And I walked slowly.
He walked slowly, as if he were taking a walk, forgetting that this was a battlefield.
Man-gyeong’s soldiers, trembling with fear at the sight, rushed forward, clutching their spears.
“Eww!”
Phew-!
The soldier’s spear lodged itself near the player’s heart.
But such attacks had no effect on the burning player.
“… … .”
“Ugh!”
That would be the case, because the player’s body was already reduced to nothing but bones and his heart had also burned away.
The player grabbed the soldier who was rushing at him by the neck with his hand.
Snap!
The soldier began to burn as flames poured out of his hands.
“Ahhh! Aaaah! Aaaahhhhhh!!!”
A soldier who was instantly burned black as charcoal.
The soldier’s body fell to the ground and disintegrated into a handful of ashes.
It was the same for other soldiers.
Before the player, it was a light in the wind.
It only took a moment for the four of them to suffer.
While the player was casually killing people, he continued to mutter in a voice so small that no one could hear.
“Just let me sleep. I want to sleep. In a soft bed. Until morning. Until evening. Until dawn. This is pointless. It’s a waste of time. Sleep is 100 times better.”
“This freaking bastard… … !”
The Man-Gyeong soldier who was watching the guy fired bolts.
Pok, pok, pok!
The bolts then went to the burning player’s thigh, neck, and left ribs.
But all the bolts pierced through the player’s body.
And the players who took no damage still muttered.
“I’ve wanted to be a sloth. For quite some time now. A life where I just lie in bed all day and sleep. Ah, how happy that would be.”
Phew-!
The player picked up the arrow that had fallen on the ground and suddenly ran forward.
Taat-!
Ordinary soldiers could not deal with players who moved quickly and suddenly out of sync.
Tremendous speed. Unpredictable movements.
Pok, pok, pok!
In that instant, the player stabbed the soldiers’ necks with arrowheads.
And yet he still muttered.
“Sleeping is the greatest blessing. When you sleep, there are no happy, unhappy, or lonely feelings. It’s just nothing.”
Pok, pok, pok, pok!
The player began to indiscriminately slaughter the soldiers with the small arrowheads he was holding in his hand.
Already 13 soldiers were lying on the rooftop floor, screaming.
Now only eight soldiers remained on the rooftop.
Among them were Jeong Hyeon-su and his father.
Everyone who looked at him was terrified and trembled on the spot.
The burning player looked around at them and spoke in a strong tone so that everyone could hear now.
“… … So just die quickly. It’s meaningless. Die. Then I can go and sleep quickly.”
Taat-!
The player now ran forward.
To kill every single remaining soldier.
* * *
The soldier who was in charge of Jeong Hyeon-su and Hyeon-su’s father also stood up.
But Hyun-soo’s father caught him first.
“no!”
“yes?!”
“My son! You run away with my son. I will stop him!”
“mister!”
“Please! Please!”
Hyun-soo’s father grabbed the soldier’s shoulders and shouted desperately.
“Run away! Please, I beg you! Please!”
Hyun-soo’s father now made his pleas with utmost reluctance.
Hyun-soo’s father, who had never shed tears in front of others, cried loudly, clinging to the soldier like a child.
In the midst of the desire to protect my child, I forgot all the beliefs I had kept and the attitude I needed to maintain.
His cries echoed throughout the rooftop.
“Please go!!! Please go!!! This is the request of my life! I’ll give you anything! Hyun-soo. Please protect Hyun-soo! I. I’ll stop that monster, so you take my son and run away! Run away! Keuuuu… … !!! Run away… … ! Please!!!”

Hyun-soo’s father cried for a while and then picked up the sawdust that had been thrown on the floor.
It was to make clear what he meant.
He wiped away the tears flowing from his eyes and ran towards the burning player without hesitation.
“Ewwh …
Hyun-soo’s father’s sincere charge was bold.
But it was impossible.
A man in his 60s was no match for the player.
Phew!!!
“Keuk… … !!!”
The player punched Hyun-soo’s father in the stomach as he rushed towards him.
Then the burning player’s hand pierced through his body and exited his back.
Hyun-soo’s father groaned while holding the burning player.
“Ah… … Ah… … Ah… … .”
“Die quickly. Die quickly.”
The burning player spoke to the dying father of Hyun-soo.
Then, when he withdrew his hand that had been thrust in, a large hole appeared in his father’s stomach.
The area around the hole began to burn, and Hyun-soo’s father screamed in pain.
“Kahak! Aaaah!!!”
Hyun-soo’s father wanted to collapse at any moment, but he gritted his teeth and ran forward, grabbing the player’s body.
The ‘burning’ body of the player.
It was to somehow stop the guy from going after his son.
The player looked at his burning father and said, holding onto himself.
“Why… why are you doing this? Just die quickly. I’m sleepy now.”
Ugh-.
The player grabbed Hyun-soo’s father’s face and forcefully pushed him aside. Hyun-soo’s father stopped moving and fell to the side without any strength.
Thud-!
The player started walking again.
Towards Hyunsoo and the soldiers.
“… … !!”
The soldier hesitated at the sight.
It wasn’t because I was scared, but because Hyun-soo’s father’s request from earlier was lingering in my head.
According to the monarch’s orders, I had to stop him together with my other comrades.
However, I couldn’t just casually ignore the request of Hyun-soo’s father who was screaming and dying.
After a moment of hesitation, the soldier made up his mind.
“… … !”
Ta-da-!
The soldier started running towards the bridge, carrying the suspension.
Hyun-soo’s father’s death could not be in vain.
Of course, the monarch’s orders will be followed.
After leaving the other side’s defense team to Captain Jeong Hyeon-su, we will face that monstrous player again.
Thud-!
The soldier’s first powerful steps onto the bridge rang loudly.
The bridge was narrow and shaky, but the soldier ran as best he could.
On the other side, preparations were being made to dismantle the bridge.
It was to prevent the warriors of the time from crossing the bridge.
“Gasp. Gasp. Gasp!”
Hyun-soo’s body, carried on the soldier’s back, shook violently.
Thanks to that, Hyunsoo started to regain his senses little by little.
Between the rooftops of high-rise apartments and in the middle of a bridge, Hyunsoo slowly opened his eyes.
* * *
Hyunsoo had a short dream.
A dream before the world ends.
At that time, my father was more patriarchal than anyone else.
He placed great importance on the education of his children and emphasized strict family discipline and a moderate lifestyle.
He was a father who did not hesitate to use corporal punishment for the education and proper character of his children, and he always lived with a solemn appearance.
Hyunsoo hated his overbearing and blunt father.
He secretly hugged the blanket and prayed to God for his father to die.
But after the world was destroyed, he did not wish for his father’s death.
The world was ending and my father did his best to protect his family.
My father, who seemed so strong, became weak after the destruction.
Wherever he went, he bowed his head and knelt before others. All to protect his family.
He knelt down like a child in front of the powerful, clasped his hands together, and begged them not to touch his family.
Round 1: Apartment, Round 2: Police Station, Round 3: Man-gyeong.
Despite his desperate efforts, the father was unable to protect his family.
After losing his mother and two younger siblings, his father changed completely.
From then on, I bowed my head and begged more easily. I knelt down on my heavy knees, trying to save my only remaining child.
Hyunsoo frowned at his father.
My father, who seemed so strong, has completely changed.
My father, who was so solemn and reserved, became a talkative cuckoo, begging and pleading time and time again.
I couldn’t understand it, and I didn’t want to understand it.
I couldn’t accept the sight of my father weakened.
I couldn’t stand it.
That’s why I acted so coldly.
“… … Keuk!”
The soldier who was carrying Hyun-soo fell forward.
Thanks to that, Hyunsoo also rolled forward.
The battlefield was still burning, and Hyun-soo’s vision was blurred by the flowing blood.
I felt like I was going to lose consciousness at any moment, and my mind was blank.
The soldiers’ desperate cries were heard.
“Stop it!”
“Shoot the bolt! Finish him off!”
“Ah! We’re all going to die. We’re all going to die!”
“The King will come! Trust the King!”
“Cut the bridge! Quickly… … !”
“Save me… …! Save me!”
“We will fight back! For our city!”
“All hands! Start the battle! The target is the player during the game!”
“Bring me more bolts! Are the reinforcements here yet?!”
Hyunsoo slowly raised his head.
The soldiers on the rooftop were moving in unison, firing bolts toward the rooftop of Building 206 where they had just been.
Hyunsoo struggled to get up, grabbed the rooftop railing, and looked at the rooftop on the other side.
“… … .”
And Hyunsoo saw.
The burning rooftop, with his father lying there.
“ah.”
Although he was half-burned and blackened, he was immediately recognizable, for the protective gear he wore was so familiar.
While standing next to him, the players were brutally burning Hyun-soo’s subordinates one by one.
Now, the bastard had killed all of the defense team of Building 206 and was looking at the rooftop.
The bastard now started running.
It seemed like he was thinking of jumping between rooftops.
And the ominous prediction came true.
The guy, who was running with light movements, jumped off the railing as if he was diving into a pool and flew into the air.
Taat-!
It was as if all time had stopped in this area.
The burning player was floating in the air.
Like a blazing flame, it began to fly towards me, drawing a trajectory in the air.
Everyone just stared with their mouths open at the incredible sight.
Hyunsoo’s eyes blinked as he locked eyes with the guy floating in the air.
Hyunsoo had a gut feeling that death was coming.
“… … .”
But death did not come.
A completely unexpected situation occurred.
My father, who I thought was dead just a moment ago, appeared right behind him.
As the burning player was jumping, Hyun-soo’s father, who had come to his senses, barely managed to stand up and run after him.
My father was able to demonstrate superhuman strength because he had already prepared himself for death, and he eventually achieved his goal.
Snap!
The father gritted his teeth as he grabbed the player’s ankle with his right hand while crossing the empty space between the apartment rooftops.
Even though he had been fatally wounded by a punctured stomach and suffered severe burns from half his body being burned, his eyes still glowed with a cold light.
He squeezed out what little life he had left and grabbed the bastard’s ribs with his remaining left hand.
At the same time, the player fell to the ground.
“Eww!”
But the two people who were entangled fell down, pulled by gravity.
Hyunsoo looked down at the scene while kneeling and holding onto the rooftop railing.
When a bright light shone from the floor, Hyunsoo’s tears fell.
The tears followed my father and fell toward the deep bottom.
* * *
Immediately after Hyun-soo’s father grabbed the player and jumped into the water.
Rain began to pour down on the burning apartment complex.
Thud thud thud thud-!
“Thank goodness!”
“… … I bought some time!”
“Prepare defense from downstairs! Hurry!”
“yes!”
“It’s raining too!”
“Okay! The fire will be put out! Strengthen your defenses like this!”
Captain Dong quickly ordered the defense of the lower floors, and the troops on the rooftop immediately went down the stairs.
Then he found Hyun-soo looking at the opposite rooftop from the railing and approached him.
“Hyunsoo. You.”
Ugh-.
Captain Dong grabbed Hyun-soo’s shoulder, and Hyun-soo naturally raised his head.
Captain Dong couldn’t help but be surprised when he saw Hyun-soo’s face.
That was because he was shedding tears without any expression.
As if he had lost everything.
That wasn’t all.
A strange energy was rippling through Hyunsoo’s body.
Captain Dong knew what it was.
It was a power that only appeared to ‘players’.
“Tongue, suspension… … . You?”
“… … .”
The force surrounding Hyunsoo’s body began to ripple more strongly, becoming uncontrollable.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwang-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Waaaaaaaaaah!!!”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh-!!!”
Kwakwakwakwakwang-!!!!!!
On the rooftop, a red pillar poured down from the sky towards him, accompanied by an indescribably strong wind.
“Hyunsoo-!!!”
Even though Captain Dong called out loud, Hyun-soo couldn’t hear.
Hyun-soo, who had just awakened as a player, had only one word engraved in his head: revenge.
Hyun-soo’s face was distorted after losing his father.
Lightning struck around his slowly rising body.
As he stretched out his left arm, the lightning transformed into a bow, and at both ends of the bow, sacred light shimmered like streamers.
Hyunsoo grabbed the bow and pulled the bow. Then, lightning bolts appeared spontaneously on the bow.
The sharp, flickering tip of the lightning bolt was pointed towards Dong-an.
“entire…….”
Kwakwang-!
As the rain grew heavier, lightning struck here and there.
This was not a natural phenomenon.
It was due to Jeong Hyeon-su’s anger.
“entire……!”
Kwajijijijik-!
Hyun-soo pulled the bowstring all the way back and immediately let go of the bow.
Kwajik!
A huge bolt of lightning flew towards the horizon, with a small spark flying.
Cutting through the dark night sky at the speed of light.
The lightning that flew along with Hyun-soo’s anger struck the center of the room.
Kwajijijijijijik! Kwakwang-!
A tremendous light struck the room along with a loud noise that seemed to turn the world upside down.
The lightning completely destroyed the center of the area and its surroundings.
Buildings struck by lightning could not withstand the pressure and burst, collapsing like sand castles.
Anyang’s tallest building, which had been holding out for the past three rounds, was no exception.
The huge building, struck in the side by lightning again, collapsed in vain, and other buildings in the area fell like dominoes, pushed by the debris.
Kukwang-!
The sound of the building collapsing shook the heavens and the earth.
Jeong Hyeon-su didn’t stop.
He pulled back the bowstring and aimed for the area.
“… … I’ll kill them all.”
His goal is to kill everyone during the period. Hyun-soo will not stop attacking until he achieves that goal.
A-class ranker, Jeong Hyeon-su.
In his previous life, he was one of the three powerful generals of Kang Shi-on, along with Choi Hyun-ji.
It’s just that Jin Jae-hee didn’t recognize him because he was still too young.
“Not a single one… … without exception… … .”
Kwajik-!
Electricity shot out of Hyunsoo’s hands.
He continued to mutter as he fired lightning bolts one by one.
“… … I’ll kill them all.”
