Hedgehog -1-
hedgehog
“no!”
A scream of horror and despair.
The old men were looking this way from a distance.
It appears that no one has died or been seriously injured, but that is only a matter of time.
“Ki-ki-ki. Kikiki-ki.”
The hedgehog monster laughed strangely.
He is so tall that he looks a head taller than me.
Its entire body was thick and muscular, and instead of hair, it had hanging spines that ominously shed a metallic sheen.
I carefully examined the hedgehog monster’s arms, especially his fists.
‘What level is it?’
Compared to the towering trapezius, biceps, and triceps that seem ready to ascend, the forearm muscles are not very impressive.
The entire lower arm is like that.
A body that looks like something out of a cartoon, with only the back and shoulders emphasized and the forearms and hands raised like a child’s, making it look asymmetrical.
That is, a level 1 mutation.
Since the body of the basic hedgehog head wasn’t very good, it didn’t reach level 2.
“after.”
Clang!
He threw down the shovel he was holding and stepped forward.
“Kikiki!”
The hedgehog monster looks at me with his round eyes.
“Run away!”
A deer stuck in a wall speaks, spitting out blood.
“Hey, junior! Kill him!”
“I will only trust you, my junior!”
“Kill him!”
The cheers of the old men who only talked continued.
“Kiaat!”
And then the hedgehog monster rushes in.
Kwaaaa!
The momentum is fierce.
The wide hallway felt like it was full of hedgehog monsters.
I bit my lower lip hard.
I absorbed the polluted magic to the limit, but I could not purify or digest it.
I’m still at level 0.
If you confront the hedgehog monster head-on with your current equipment, you will definitely lose.
But the 10,000 hours I spent at Arcane Seoul were definitely not in vain.
I quickly came up with a solution.
First, tense your body.
My whole body’s muscles became stiff, the back of my neck felt sore, and my eyes became bloodshot.
A drop of sweat forms on your forehead and the world slows down.
A state of hyper-concentration.
With his eyes gleaming and his fists clenched, he thinks of only one thing.
‘Delete wound healing.’
Traits that would be useful after a battle rather than right now are lost.
‘Delete vitality.’
Likewise, a choice for short-term warfare rather than long-term warfare.
Then it brought in new characteristics.
‘Generate strength and magical power.’
My heart is pounding hard.
My whole body felt hot and magical power rushed towards me.
Thump!
A thrilling sensation rises to my brain.
The muscles all over my body swelled greatly.
I felt like I was going crazy from the steep and intense energy, but I somehow held on and endured.
[Strength] that strengthens the whole body muscles
[Fortitude], which reduces all physical and magical damage.
[Magic Absorption] that consumes any magic power at will
[Deep Breathing] to increase magic power recovery speed
[Magic Heart] that strengthens and efficiently uses magic power
······Up to the final lock and trigger, [Contamination Resistance].
“Come!”
He charges forward, screaming.
I bumped into a hedgehog monster.
Both are just random throws that rely solely on strength. There are no elaborate techniques or efficient movements to be found even if you look hard.

“Huh!”
It was me who fell out.
I groaned involuntarily as I flew through the air and crashed into the wall.
“Shit, shit!”
“Let’s run away!”
“Save the people!”
The old men immediately backed away.
The deer lying across from me also looked at me with a gloomy face.
“Kikikikit!”
And the hedgehog monster that bursts out groans.
“joy.”
I snorted and sat up.
And replace it.
[Patience] trait with the newly acquired [Matjip] trait.
It’s not like I rushed in recklessly and got hit.
The Matter House trait only reduces physical damage, but the reduction is twice as great as that of Endurance, and most importantly, it is a condition for acquiring a trait that I am after.
“Let’s do it, newbie!”
Charge straight ahead.
He punches the hedgehog monster in the stomach.
“Keeeek?”
It was a perfect fit.
The hedgehog monster took a few steps back and made a face of disbelief.
That too for a moment.
“Kuaaaah!”
He roars harshly and counterattacks me.
A fist that expands in an instant.
It was unavoidable.
I gritted my teeth and blocked the attack by raising my left forearm at a right angle.
Dismissed!
“Khuuuk!”
My arm is broken.
As stars flashed before my eyes, a sharp pain ran down my spine.
I expected it, but it hurts so much.
My body instinctively tried to flinch, but I refused to do so.
If you back out here, there’s only one outcome.
death!
If you don’t want to die, you have to move on.
If you want to live, you have to move forward somehow to survive in this dead-end world!
I swore and threw my fist in.
“asleep!”
I put all my anger into this fist.
Expose one’s anger.
It explodes in one breath the bewilderment, frustration, and despair I felt in this suddenly dropped world.
Phew!
The hedgehog monster’s body shook violently once.
When you hit the stomach, the upper body shakes and the head falls back.
But that’s it.
“Kwaaah!”
The enraged hedgehog monster swung his fist in a long motion.
In an obvious way.
An extremely inefficient move.
It’s no different for me.
I used to do odd jobs, factory work, loading and unloading trucks, and playing games, so what talent do I have that would make me avoid that?
Kwaaaaang!
Another arm broke with a loud noise.
My mind almost evaporated for a moment, but I gritted my teeth and held on.
I know that too.
The fact that it’s really stupid to fight a level 1 mutant like this when you’re not even level 1.
That’s why I know.
The fact that these seemingly stupid, reckless, and impossible things are the triggers for acquiring traits!
“Eww!”
Swing your fist.
Hit once, get hit back.
“Kwaaah!”
A thunderous roar echoed through the concrete cavern.
An extremely primitive fight.
A clash of pure force and power.
I am suffering a one-sided loss.
His left arm was not moving, and his right fist, which had been struck without any protection, was covered in blood.
But he rushes in.
And yet, he charges forward.
Without thinking about anything else, I focus only on the hedgehog monster in front of me and extend my fist once more!
There is only one thing needed here.
strength!
More power!
Just more power!
It was when I extended my fist, enduring the excruciating pain.
A strange sensation ran through my right arm.
A hot sensation as if one were being burned by an iron.
At the same time, it felt like I was being doused with cold water.
At first glance, it seemed as if a bolt of lightning had flashed before my eyes.
A strange feeling gushed out like a fountain from my heart, my whole body, and my brain.
Kwajik!
My fist lodged in the hedgehog monster’s lower abdomen.
A striking sensation that was clearly different from before was conveyed.
Ugh.
The hedgehog monster vomited blood.
Valid.
The hedgehog monster looks at me with disbelief.
This is the power of the [Mutant Muscle] trait.
A trait that can only be obtained by possessing both the Magic Heart and Strength traits.
“asleep!”
“Kuaaaah!”
But that doesn’t mean I’m discouraged.
The hedgehog monster gained momentum and tangled with me.
They exchange blows again.
I’m vomiting blood too.
No, it went beyond that and allowed several valid hits.
I got hit in the face and stomach, so there wasn’t a single spot on my body that didn’t hurt.
One of my legs is broken and my eyelids are swollen so I can’t see at all.
“Eeeeek!”
“Kwaaah!”
But it’s a rush.
They keep rushing at me and rushing at me again.
From the blood gushing down my throat, from my heart pounding as if it was going to burst, I intuitively sensed the birth of a new trait.
[Mutant Body]
Just as brawn is replaced by mutant muscle, brawn is replaced by mutant flesh.
Now I don’t get pushed around.
My broken left arm has also recovered.
Although he is slightly smaller in size, he stands on equal terms with the hedgehog monster and trades blows with it.
“superman······”
I thought I heard that voice.
No, I don’t think I heard it.
Because my mind and concentration were completely focused on the hedgehog monster.
“Kwaaah!”
The hedgehog monster punches me in the chest.
Couldn’t stop it.
Oh my, blood came up like pain.
He swallows it and then punches the hedgehog monster in the stomach.
Right there, where I had been hitting and hitting so relentlessly.
‘It’s not enough.’
All specs are inferior to those of the Hedgehog Monster.
Attack power, defense power, and wildness that overwhelms reason are all the same.
Of course, the final lock must be unlocked.
You have to pull the final trigger!
“Whew.”
Take a deep breath.
Will it work?
Will everything go as I think?
Let’s believe it.
My ten thousand hours.
The time I spent in Arcane Seoul!
‘Delete contamination resistance.’
There was a moment of silence.
It felt like the world had stopped.
After a very short time, the blood flow throughout the body began to reverse.
Drumroll.
My heart is pounding.
It beats in complete syncopation.
The ventricle becomes the atrium, the left ventricle becomes the right ventricle, and breathing itself stops.
“Ugh!”
A pain that is hard to describe in words.
My brain felt like it was melting from the heat, my fingertips and toes were itching unbearably, and I was assailed by a pain that felt as if my muscles were being torn apart and split into individual fibers.
And the changing body.
The body grows rapidly.
It’s enough to overwhelm the hedgehog monster in front of you.
Height, size, and muscles, everything.
“Kikit?”
The hedgehog monster senses something is wrong and steps back.
But my transformation was one step faster than the hedgehog monster could figure out what was happening.
He stretches out his huge, muscular arm and grabs the hedgehog monster.
He grabbed her by the thick neck and threw her to the floor.
Kwaaaaang!
A loud noise erupted, the loudest I’ve ever heard in my life.
It seemed like thunder had struck.
The entire concrete structure seemed to vibrate.
Puddles of stagnant water sprang up everywhere.
“Keeeeet!”
A scream of pain.
He struck down, struck down, and struck down again.
The tables have turned completely.
The hedgehog monster screamed and tried to get up somehow, but I didn’t allow him even for a second.
First of all, I know a lot about hedgehog monsters.
I know inside out what my weaknesses and strengths are.
The hedgehog monster has only one trait.
[Thorn Hair] is everything.
A level 1 hedgehog monster with separate traits, body, and fighting style, who has 6 traits that are perfectly synergized, cannot be defeated today.
Because I am also level 1 right now.
He is not a warrior, but a strengthened soldier. He gave up being human and became a monster, a mutant, but he is a proper level 1 superhuman.
Just right, just right, just right, just right.
Looking at me like that, the deer struck its upper and lower jaws without mercy.
“Monster, monster······”
Yeah, I guess that’s what it looks like.
It’s common sense that once you become a mutant, you can never go back.
I also had a corner of my faith.
Phew!
After confirming the death of the hedgehog monster, he steps back.
“Eww!”
A deer crawling on the ground in fear.
He seemed to think it was his turn since he had killed the enemy in front of him.
I don’t care about you.
Instead, I focus on my inner self.
Right now my list of traits would look like this:
[Magic absorption][Deep breath][Magic heart]
[Mutant Muscle][Mutant Body][Mutant]
Contamination resistance and mutation were key.
When I pulled the trigger to delete my contamination resistance, and thus create the mutation, my body crossed the Rubicon.
He took off his human skin and became a mutant.
If, if.
What if we delete the mutation?
Will it still remain a mutant?
Gulp.
Swallow once and restore your trait.
Instead of mutation, it’s contamination resistance.
Instead of mutant muscles and flesh, with brawn and brawn.
Instead of magic absorption, deep breathing, and magic heart, use healing, endurance, and vitality.
Crack! Crack!
Strange sounds came from all over my body.
My body was shrinking. I was going back to my original slender body from a muscular giant. My skin, which was obviously not human, also regained its original color.
A strange sight, as if time had been rewinded.
The world doesn’t look red anymore.
Inside the dark concrete structure, the fluorescent lights emit a faint light, everything remains the same.
bingo.
My calculations were exactly correct.
“Gasp, ugh.”
The deer was looking at me, panting, as I returned to being a human.
