The main character is me

I instinctively greeted him at the sound of the bell.

“Welcome.”

It’s almost night time. The customers who come are usually of three types: high school students who come to appease their hungry stomachs after finishing their night work, smiling girls who work at bars, and the most hated type of people, drunk men.

So I lowered my voice a bit. If I greeted you too weakly, you would get into trouble, saying that you were being rude. If I greeted you too forcefully, you would get in trouble, saying that you were startling people. Of course, I am talking about the third group.

High school students who finished their summer jobs burst out laughing just by talking to them. It’s all thanks to their handsome faces. There are many convenience stores, but they always go to this one. Thanks to that, they get paid more than other part-timers. Of course, the convenience store owner secretly gives them money.

The strong scent of perfume tickled his nose. Shingi forced his distorted face to straighten. He pretended to do something else and quickly scanned the woman.

An unnatural face shape, breasts that look strange, whether it’s from a false implant or surgery, a dress that looks cheap despite being a luxury brand, and red high heels. Disqualified.

The woman bought a pack of cigarettes and two bottles of soda. She looked Shin-gi up and down her body, then asked him a question with a smile that she found seductive.

“Which condom do you like best?”

“I don’t know because I haven’t tried it. Ask the intellectuals.”

Despite Shingi’s cold answer, the woman giggled and showed a great reaction.

“Oh my, oppa, your answer is so insincere. You usually say that expensive things are good.”

“I graduated from high school last year.”

It’s a lie. It’s been three years since I graduated from high school. But I still believe that I’m a high school student because I have a young face. Of course, I’m tall and have a big body, so there’s a lot of room for doubt, but these days, high school students grow quickly, so everyone is wondering if I’m a high school student.

The woman’s face hardened as she was angry at Shingi’s blunt answer. She paid in cash. Most of the girls have bad credit, so they don’t use cards and only use cash. That’s why there are professional cash-snatching thugs around here.

“Take care. A patrol car will pass by in five minutes. All the punks will be hiding, so if you move then, you’ll be safe.”

The woman went out without saying a word. Shin-gi snickered. She is a childish woman. Judging from the wrinkles around her eyes, she seems to be in her thirties, but she doesn’t know how to take care of herself. Of course, Shin-gi is in no position to talk about others. It’s been three years since she took a leave of absence from college.

The family that came to the university entrance ceremony had an accident on the way back. The day that should have been the happiest day of entering a prestigious university became the saddest day. In an instant, he became an orphan. After attending the funeral of his family, Shin-gi immediately applied for a leave of absence.

I had nothing to do while on leave. I went to the dojo because they said that exercise was the best way to relieve mental pain. I showed talent in kendo and became the director’s disciple. I occasionally participated in competitions, but I never won. According to the director, all the winners were people who had been paid money. They needed to have a winning record to go to college.

The director did not accept money from Shingi. After Shingi started attending the dojo, the number of female students increased significantly. The director often bought meat for Shingi. He was afraid that Shingi might move to another dojo.

I instinctively greeted him at the sound of the bell.

“Welcome.”

She was a woman wearing a tracksuit and sneakers. She didn’t seem to have much makeup on. I could smell a faint scent similar to powder. Pass.

“Do you live nearby?”

Shingi spoke to her with a smile, but the woman did not respond. After paying, she left without saying a word. She was most likely the last customer.

The night shift worker came 15 minutes after 11 p.m. He didn’t look sorry at all. Shingi didn’t intend to wait a third time.

“If you’re late next time, I’ll tell the owner.”

“If you take public transportation, you might be late sometimes. You’re inflexible. Let’s buy a drink next time you have time. Just forget about today.”

Alcohol is a person who lives only with his mouth. Shingi felt the need to emphasize this once more in response to the casual response.

“I won’t tell you anything. If you’re curious, try being late again next time.”

While changing clothes, Shingi heard a voice saying something about a slut. That idiot probably doesn’t know. Shingi lives in the same apartment as him. It’s a five-minute walk. If you want to take public transportation, you have to walk five minutes in the opposite direction.

‘They say that if you lie, your nose grows. Did that idiot originally have a sunken nose?’

The room I entered after a few days was filled with cold air. Shingi turned on the computer. It seemed like I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep today. I can’t fall asleep without someone to share warmth with me.

Of course, Shingi has no desire to sleep with a man. And he has no desire to meet a woman for a long time. If he meets a woman for a long time, she starts to interfere with his affairs. He always met women at motels. This house is Shingi’s sanctuary that he does not want anyone to enter.

Sometimes, there are women who come to the convenience store and cause a commotion. Then, the store owner will report it to the police. If Shingi stops because of that woman, it will only hurt the store owner. Thanks to Shingi, most of the high school girls in the area use this convenience store, which is located in a somewhat remote location.

Shingi put on his earphones and put the game console on his head. It was the game console his father had bought him to celebrate his admission to the university. It wasn’t an expensive model, so he had to connect it to a computer to play games.

I restarted the game that I had stopped a few days ago. I can only watch the game without being able to intervene. But it’s more interesting than most movies. Every time I load, it shows a completely different development. Shingi, who had to pee, stopped the game for a moment and went to do his business, then turned the game console over again.

“Damn, I have 12 loading chances left. There’s a 3 billion reward at the end of this game.”

By chance, I won an event from a game company I had never heard of called Dragon Power. In exchange for 2,000 loading chances, I was not allowed to interfere with the characters in the game. However, I was allowed to interfere with the character’s personality and some settings at the start.

“This time it’s okay. It’s progressed much further than the other times.”

At first, I started and failed shortly after. So I changed the character’s personality and some settings. And I analyzed which character among the given characters is suitable for seeing the game’s ending.

The conditions were the worst in this episode. The settings for the wizard and the commander were reversed. Drinking and playing games were the cause of the trouble. The woman who was supposed to go to the motel together ran away after receiving a call from her boyfriend.

The initial settings were wrong, so one world became a world without mana. If there weren’t many opportunities left, I would have started over right away. However, the progress was unexpectedly smooth. The divine character progressed more smoothly than the god character who seemed to have a lot of talent. Of course, the god character is not bad either.

Shingi shed tears after seeing the ending of the last game. The ending was so sad. Shingi, who had been very fond of me, had disappeared. At that moment, the cell phone rang.

It’s a text, not a call. I was going to ignore it, but I thought it might be a message from a woman I met a few days ago, so I decided to check it. It doesn’t necessarily have to involve sex. I just sleep well when I’m holding someone. I don’t want to sleep while holding a man, so I just sleep while holding a woman.

[3 billion won has been deposited into the Bank of Korea account. Please check.]

It was really creepy. It’s true that I saw the ending of the game. However, Shingi’s computer was not connected to the Internet. Shingi is not interested in what’s going on in the world. So he didn’t even apply for the Internet.

He didn’t go to college, but he’s a genius who got into a prestigious university. It doesn’t make sense to put a wireless module in a game console and make it have internet access. And the Korean Bank account is the account where my parents’ insurance money is. And my cute little brother’s insurance money is too. So I didn’t touch it at all. Not many people know about that account.

“Fuck, what the hell is this goblin trick?”

Shingi turned the game console over again. There was a single line of text on the screen where the ending had finished. It was a text he had never seen before and it was hard to understand what it meant.

“Why aren’t these guys patching the Korean language properly and instead showing Russian?”

If a Russian person saw it, they would say it was Chinese. A Chinese person would say it was Latin, and an English-speaking person would say it was Hangul. The character is actually a dragon character. Since it is something that cannot be translated into human language, the dragon character is used as is.

To accurately express that short line in human language would require hundreds of millions of characters, mixing dozens of languages. To summarize, the content is as follows:

– Grants the ability to pass on traits as a reward for great achievements.

What a great achievement, why this reward was given, and what the reward, the inherited trait, is are all included in that one line. It is a writing skill that is impossible with human characters.

– Character skills are transferred through trait transfer.

Transmission means to inherit and pass on.

– Due to the lack of DPP, only the characteristics are inherited first. Work hard to change your destiny. You can inherit all the abilities of the character’s new god.

It is said that he receives the abilities of the extinct character, Shingi. Shingi placed the back of his hand on his forehead. His body temperature is normal.

‘Am I finally going crazy?’

– You inherit the characteristics of a new god. The characteristic healing is 2-stage. There is a loss during the inheritance process. The healing characteristic is lowered to stage 1.

– You will inherit the special trait of Bing-ui. Bing-ui has no grades.

– You inherit a unique trait. It is an unknown trait. It activates when you consciously use the trait.

Shingi searched his memory. At the beginning of the game, Shingi and Gishin each received a trait. But he couldn’t remember very well.

– Detailed memories of the game will disappear. They will be vague, like a dream.

I remember the main plot, but I can’t remember the details. When I thought about it carefully, I realized that I was really immersed only when I was using the game console. I didn’t really think about games normally.

‘Am I under hypnosis? What woman would hire a hypnotist out of spite because I broke up with her?’

Then another text message arrived. Shingi quickly checked the text.

[Sister, you’ve awakened. Since you’ve become a D-class hunter, I’ll feed you from now on.]

She’s a woman I met and broke up with before. We met and broke up coolly. But she’s asking me to meet her again because she’s become a hunter.

[Don’t look for it. Just leave it as a good memory.]

Recently, Awakened people have started to appear. Officially, the Awakened people are called Hunters after the surname of the first Awakened person, a British man named Hunter. There are several grades of Awakened people. The highest grade discovered so far is B-grade, and the lowest grade is F-grade.

‘Could it be that I have also awakened?’

But it is different from the awakening process shown on TV. Something is strange. Kishin decided to move. The 3 billion is not insurance money, so he can use it as he pleases. He plans to go and live on an island where it is nice to live. He also changed his cell phone and thought he should cut off contact with everyone he knows.

– I hope you quickly awaken your unknown characteristics.

– The fate of the world is in your hands.

I decided to ignore the hallucinations that kept coming to my ears. I felt like I would disappear like a magician if I continued to shoulder the fate of the world. I didn’t care what happened to the world. With 3 billion, I could live off of it for the rest of my life. I didn’t want to touch the insurance money, so I looked for jobs here and there. I thought it would be a shame to my family if I lived too actively, so I worked just enough to make ends meet. Now I can live a more passive life. I’m happy.

– If you save the world, God will grant you one wish.

After receiving this message, I changed my mind.

### I am the complete demarcation line ###
