-1 Volume 2

Seeing Jung Daesik, who was not sure, Hong Man-gi was also confused.

He looked around and asked for opinions from others.

"Aren't you awake? It looked like you were awake, didn't you?"

The female hunter who was about to hit Jung Daesik flinched at his question.

Embarrassed by the gaze on her, she took a step back.

Looking at his shocked expression, it seemed that something had happened.

That was then.

Someone appeared as they passed through the people lined up behind Hong Man-gi.

"What's going on?"

He was the commander of the raid that hired Jung Daesik.

He looked at the crowd with a slightly tired expression, then turned to Jung Daesik and asked.

“Awakening, what does all this mean?”

To that, Mangi Hong replied instead.

"Aigoo! Chief of Engineering, I've only heard about it, but I didn't expect to see such a sight in real life."

"What sight are you talking about?"

"Who is awakening! Suddenly a light bursts out of the human body! That's the awakening right? It just means that light came from this guy, Jung Daesik's body!"

Man-gi Hong was completely excited and heard the noise, and the chief of engineering frowned his eyebrows.

Then he looked at Jung Daesik once, then he turned to the woman who was a member of the raid.

Then she opened her mouth and said,

"No, that's right. The author's body lit up."

Hearing this, the chief engineer asked.

"Yes? Is the awakening certain?"

The woman muttered with a look of disbelief.

"... on the surface it seemed so."

Hearing people say that, little by little, I started to realize that I had finally awakened.

But still didn't feel it.

Perhaps the superpowers you would have gained if you had awakened.

It's because I don't know what it is.

"It's strange that a porter awakens in a dungeon."

The head of engineering looked at Jung Daesik, who was standing stunned.

Then he reached out his hand and tapped his shoulder.

"Whatever it is, it's great to be an Awoken. Congratulations."

At the words of congratulations, Jung Daesik bowed his head awkwardly.

"Oh, yes. Thank you."

Then there was a riot from next to Hong Man-gi.

"Hey, congratulations, Jung Daesik! You're becoming an Awakened! What's going on with this! Everything's going on in your life! Yaa, I'm envious!"

At the same time, other porters flocked in.

They chattered around Jung Daesik.

"Now it's sold out! Becoming an Awakened!"

"I won't have to work as a porter in the future, it's good!"

"If you become a hunter, please take care of me! Give me a lot of work!"Everyone was talking and talking, and there was no mind at all.

It was more so because she couldn't be sure of whether she had really awakened yet or not.

Jung Daesik felt his embarrassment more than the joy of being awakened.

He can't do this or that because of that, Captain Rani said calmly.

"I still can't believe it. It'll start to come true. I'd like to finish what I'm doing now. If I keep procrastinating here, I don't know if other people will come. Can't you even do it?"

It was then that the other porters realized that this was still in the dungeon.

The celebration went out and finished, and dispersed in search of what they were doing.

Jung Daesik also lifted the slime that was on the cart.

The woman glanced at Jung Daesik like that and went away.

Perhaps it was because he suddenly became an Awakened, he didn't seem to have any intention of arguing with his armor getting dirty any more.

First of all, Jung Daesik pulled the cart and headed out of the dungeon, thinking he was lucky.

Episode 1. The first day

Rumors spread quickly.

A place to go to get a paycheck.

Scared of stepping into the manpower office in front of the dungeon, people came to me one by one.

" Jung Daesik! You said you woke up?"

"Is that real?"

"Have you been to the God's Space?"

"How was it, what kind of superpowers did you have?"

First, the porters who had returned from work gathered at Jung Daesik and asked questions.

Jung Daesik did not give any answers to those questions.

"No, that's... I don't know yet."

As I was scratching the back of my head, the warden came forward and said.

"Stop it! What does Jung Daesik have to do with you!"

Then someone snorted and muttered.

"Well, if you've truly awakened, you're now a different person from us."

Did you feel any discomfort with those words?

The expressions of the people around Jung Daesik changed.

They withdrew with a mixture of envy and jealousy, envy and pity.

"I hope... Man! Even if I become a hunter, I ask you to visit me sometimes."

"Yeah, give me a lot of work."

Jung Daesik quietly nodded his head at the comments of a few people who regretted it.

Then, he took the group that the warden offered without saying a word and crumpled it in his arms.

Normally, I would have tried to check whether the amount was correct or not, but today I was in no mood to do so.

I hurriedly left the human resources office in an attempt to get away from other people's attention.

Then, I got on the fluffy scooter and left the 'dungeon area'.

After leaving the dungeon area surrounded by high iron fences and crossing the stream, the city appeared.

Jung Daesik skimmed through the crowds of cars and headed for the bank he always went to.

From there, he put all the paychecks he received today into the ATM machine.

This brought the balance of the account to 6,533,210 won.

If you add up to 60,000,000 won in deposits, you have about 66.5 million won of money.

For the past four years, Jung Daesik has been grinding his teeth and amassing all the fortune.

When I saw that amount, I was completely blown away.

'...Awakened or not, anyway, this is my current situation.'

Even if it is about 66.5 million won, it is difficult to find even a single rental house, let alone the building that Jung Daesik had dreamed of.

I didn't eat anything, I didn't wear anything, and even though I desperately collected it, it was only this much.

'Just because you woke up doesn't mean you'll suddenly become rich.'

He was still naked, with nothing.

'If you think about it soberly, there is no guarantee that you will become rich in the future. The situation of the awakened is very different depending on what kind of superpower they are born with.'

Jung Daesik has seen several awakenings as a porter.

Thanks to this, he was well aware that just because he has superpowers doesn't necessarily mean he will bloom.

He was a hunter with his humble ability, and he could have died in one day and passed out.

No matter how much you become an Awakened, what's the use if you die?

Jung Daesik questioned whether he had the guts to risk his life against monsters.

I was hoping to become an Awakened like that, but when I thought that I had become an Awakened, I was terrified.

'Damn it.'

Jung Daesik, muttering abusive language to himself, left the bank.

Then he stopped by a convenience store to buy a quick supper and headed home.

To save as much money as possible, he was living in a shabby inn's Wolbang.

His words were an inn, but in reality it was nothing more than a jjokbang.

Bathrooms and toilets are shared, and there is no kitchen at all.

One microwave in the room was all the cooking utensils were.

Jung Daesik ripped a triangle kimbap into the microwave, put it in, and sat down.

And ding in the microwave! As soon as I heard the sound, I almost reflexively shoved the triangle gimbap into my mouth.

After swallowing it and drinking a pack of milk, I finally decided to check out my superpowers.

'If I had awakened, I would have had superpowers no matter what.'

With a little nervousness, he pushed the cluttered rubbish and rubbish to one side of the room.

Then he straightened his posture and sat down and tried to bring his expectations.

'Do you know? He may become rich because he has great superpowers.'

Then he immediately shook his head.

'No, how rich are you in my subject? I just wish I had enough ability to prepare a small building.'

A monthly rent of 300... No, it's okay to pay 2 million.

Wouldn't it be great if you could afford just one building of that size in every corner of the market?

'A superpower is a superpower no matter how insignificant it is. That would be possible.'

Jung Daesik alone nodded his head and made plans for the future.

'Yeah, don't overdo it, just buy one building. After that, you should quit being a hunter. There's no need to go hunting in a dangerous place because you're rude, right?'

It was a very poor thought for a person who had just awakened.

But Jung Daesik thought that was the most realistic.

He followed the Hunter as a porter, and that's what he always didn't understand.

Just because he's an Awakened doesn't mean he has two lives.

With enough ability and enough income, it would be enough to make a living.

He was chasing the dungeon asking everyone to die, and he put himself in danger.

Jung Daesik took a deep breath, vowing never to do that to himself.

And he showed off his superpowers.

... to be precise, I tried to unfold it.

But he didn't know how.'Even if you wake up suddenly, you need to know how to use your superpower...'

Is it the god of greed and cost?

Even if I can't hold onto them and teach them, I should at least explain them.

It was really difficult because they threw out only the strange sound of giving money to get power.

'How did the other Awakeneds realize their superpowers?'

I was contemplating whether I should find a case or not, but somehow my hands were warm.

'Come on? Do you have a fever?'

It was strange that only his palm was hot, so he unconsciously looked at his right palm.

Naturally, the nerves were drawn towards him, and Jung Daesik was immediately startled and raised his voice.

"uh?"

There was a faint glimmer of light in the palm of his right hand.

The more I focused my consciousness, the brighter the light became.

'what's this? Ah! Maybe it's the magic that you've only heard of?'

The biggest characteristic after becoming an Awakened is the ability to have supernatural powers.

I remembered hearing the story where that special form of power was expressed through the magical power generated in the body.

'What should I do now?'

However, there is no way to quickly learn how to shine a little light from your hands.

Jung Daesik, who was hesitant about what to do, was startled to see the light gathered on his palms clump together.

"Wow!"

It was so hot that I washed my hands without realizing it.

Then the light that had been in his hand floated and floated in the air.

And soon it took shape.

"Ugh?"

It just looked like a cursor.

Mouse cursor in computer window.

The triangle lying on its side looked exactly like him.

'What the hell is this?'

Desperate, Jung Daesik carefully patted it with his fingertips.

Then, the cursor expanded sideways, and a window appeared.

The window had a pattern like a speech bubble drawn on it.

Below that was a number.

Exactly 66,533,210.

That number was familiar.

It was none other than Jung Daesik's entire estate.

'Why is it floating here?'

Jung Daesik stared at whether it was a screen or a scene in front of him with a very questionable gaze.

It was the voice I heard in God's space.

It is because the saying that if you give money you will get strength came to mind.

'Isn't this... a new type of voice phishing or such a scam?'

Since the world is so unpredictable these days, I had no choice but to raise such doubts.

Perhaps the awakener, who creates hallucinations, is determined to devour himself.

But on the other hand, I also wondered what the Awakened would do with only 66.5 million won in money.

'Hey, I don't know!'
