Chapter 15
The meeting place was Gangnam.
“Kim Se-hyun won’t be able to come out,” Yoon Seung-ah’s voice was heard.
“Let’s hang out together.”
“Okay.”
When Choi Shinwoo spoke, Go Johan accepted.
“Then I’ll go too. I’ll join,” Kim Se-hyun stepped forward, intending to either protect herself or be together, but it would only be a hindrance.
“She’ll have a fever, so she won’t be able to come to school until tomorrow.” Yoon Seung-ah had taken care of that part.
“But Boss, if it’s not rude, may I ask one thing?” It was a polite and careful tone.
“Speak,” Go Johan said in a slightly languid voice, as if the curse of sloth had raised its head again.
“Why are you so concerned about Kim Se-hyun?”
Go Johan had endured 8 years in the space called school as a second-year middle school student. However, there was no one he could call a friend, and Kim Se-hyun was the closest thing to it. Specialness. That seemed to be the reason for curiosity.
“Kim Se-hyun is also…” Loud music could be heard from all directions.
“A victim.”
All the children he had saved were Korean. He attacked whenever a Black Gate was detected, and there might have been unknown incidents on the opposite side of the Earth. But this proportion was clearly abnormal.
“It’s because of me too.” The reason was because of Go Johan. The power and uniqueness Go Johan possessed, the world seen through divine eyes. It was inevitable that specialness would arise around Go Johan. That was also the reason why vessels that even arch-demons would covet were emerging, and why most of the Black Gates were opening in South Korea.
And. “Kim Se-hyun too.” He was one of them.
“Thank you for granting my unreasonable request.”
“You don’t need to be so formal,” Go Johan started walking again. “I’m sincerely grateful and sorry to you all.”
Go Johan’s existence had taken away their ordinariness.
“If the Boss doesn’t speak like that, then I won’t either.”
Smirking, Go Johan, who had smiled languidly, had already arrived at his destination.
“Ha.” He shook his head, letting out a small sigh. “These bastards really…”
It was a bar in Gangnam. With a club in the basement. It was too much for middle school students to frequent, and it was a problematic place.
“Nothing was found in Choi Shinwoo’s locker or other school property, or at home,” Yoon Seung-ah’s voice was heard.
“He seems to be carrying it on his person or has a separate storage place.”
This seemed to be the place.
“If it’s uncomfortable for you, Boss…”
“That can’t be,” Go Johan said. “If you move and problems arise, things will get complicated. And…”
Thud.
“I can’t leave everything to you alone.”
If he had burdened them with such a heavy load, he should also fulfill that responsibility.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
The loud music from the club flowed out, and.
“Hey, how old are you? Can I get your number?” A few women in the long line in front of the club approached him.
But Go Johan ignored everything and entered.
“Upstairs, sir.” As if his unique appearance had been described in advance, a rough-looking guard came out and guided Go Johan.
Even though it wasn’t the underground club, but the upper floor without even a sign.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
That place could be said to be even more of a different world than the underground club.
* * *
‘Goddess.’
Go Johan frowned at the sight reminiscent of a party of a demonic fallen count’s family and called out the name of the goddess.
‘Please forgive me.’
Gazes were thrown at Go Johan from the place that seemed packed with people.
Ignoring that.
“It’s here.”
Where Go Johan stopped was a room in one corner.
If there was something he felt living on Earth for 15 years as Go Johan.
‘Travania or Earth, there’s no difference.’
That the difference wasn’t big.
Creak.
Although there were differences in culture, civilization, and race, especially the lives of those in power.
“You came?”
The room was a quiet place where even the loud music couldn’t be heard.
Colorful LEDs were emitting light.
On the sofa made of premium leather sat Choi Shinwoo and his group, who could be seen at school.
And on that table, worth hundreds of thousands of won per bottle.
“Tsk.”
It was full of alcohol.
“Wow, I can’t believe Go Johan is here.”
“That b*st*rd acted so high and mighty.”
Voices that seemed a bit drunk already were heard.
“Shall I kill them?”
Envy stepped forward at the voices that seemed to be treating Go Johan carelessly, but quieted down at Go Johan’s gesture.
“Don’t try to set the mood and sit down. You came to hang out anyway, why are you like this?”
“You’re not going to tell Lee Jae-kyung or the Chairman about us doing this here, right?”
Heh heh, such laughter leaked out here and there.
Go Johan sat down naturally on one side of the sofa.
“Where’s Kim Se-hyun?”
“I heard she wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t come.”
At Go Johan’s words, Choi Shinwoo’s face contorted.
“Ah, it’s annoying.”
Choi Shinwoo’s appearance was different from the model student he seemed to be at school.
“Go Johan, do you perhaps like Kim Se-hyun?”
“…?”
“Ah, that can’t be.” Choi Shinwoo waved his hand as if drunk.
“The student teacher is better than Kim Se-hyun, right?”
Smirk. A fishy smile.
Nevertheless, when Go Johan showed no reaction, Choi Shinwoo’s face contorted again.
As if a silent battle of wills had begun, an even thicker silence settled in the room, but.
“Ah, forget it.” In the end, it was Choi Shinwoo who backed down.
“Anyway, since you came here too, let’s hang out together often from now on.”
Choi Shinwoo picked up a bottle of alcohol with a friendly smile.
“To celebrate that…”
“Oh, are you taking that out?”
“Was there any left?”
When Choi Shinwoo was about to take something out, the group’s eyes lit up.
Faces tainted with greed.
Smirk.
It was the moment he finally took out a small, shining red jewel.
Snap.
The sound of fingers snapping was heard.
And.
“Wh-what’s going on?”
Choi Shinwoo’s bewildered voice followed.
The group sitting on the sofa suddenly drooped their heads as if they had fallen asleep.
“I was worried what to do if you didn’t have it.”
In the meantime, only Go Johan remained upright.
“Wh-what?”
Go Johan, who was clearly sitting on the sofa.
“…!”
He was standing on the table, having snatched the bottle Choi Shinwoo was holding.
‘When?’
There was no story of Go Johan awakening as a player.
Generally, awakening as a player around the age of 15 was average.
If Go Johan had become a player among them, the Shinsung would have revealed that fact.
“Really…”
The moment Go Johan applied force to his hand.
Crack!
Along with the bottle, the red jewel, the seed of the demon beast, was shattered.
“You’re so consistent.”
Go Johan’s sky-blue eyes were rippling.
* * *
Choi Shinwoo’s thoughts were all too obvious.
He feeds the seed of the demon beast to those around him.
And.
‘Choi Shinwoo would have eaten the root.’
That would be the end.
The root has dominion over those who have eaten the seeds.
It can transform them into demon beasts at will.
“You… What are you?”
“Choi Shinwoo,” Go Johan said, looking down at Choi Shinwoo.
“Where did you get it?”
“…”
Ripple.
That was the moment.
Snap!
There was no story of Choi Shinwoo becoming a player either, but he rushed towards Go Johan at a speed too fast to be called an ordinary person.
Crack!
When Choi Shinwoo came to his senses, Go Johan’s foot was stomping on Choi Shinwoo’s head.
“Kuhek!”
Choi Shinwoo screamed at the dull pain he felt at the back of his head.
“Did it just sprout?”
Go Johan’s voice became even colder.
There was no way to notice an unsprouted seed of a demon beast or its root.
But if it sprouted by will.
Kukukuku!
There was no reason not to feel the demonic energy of demons.
Bang!
The table shattered, and Choi Shinwoo hastily retreated.
His appearance had already changed.
“…Go Jo… han… you b*st*rd…”
Red-tinged eyes, grown teeth and nails, and such.
From his shoulder to one arm was repeatedly swelling and subsiding.
It meant the seed had sprouted, and the transformation into a demon beast was progressing.
“Kuh, kuhaaht!”
Choi Shinwoo then let out a sound like ecstasy.
“When the seed of a demon beast sprouts, the transformation into a demon beast progresses, and it can temporarily exert power beyond that of a demon beast.”
“Wh-what non-nonsense are, are you, ta-talking about.”
Choi Shinwoo’s voice sounded as if it was breaking.
“They say the ecstasy felt at that time is incomparable to anything else.”
“Go, Go Jo! Han!”
“Make sure no seeds, including this one, or any other drugs circulate in this land.”
“Go Jo! Han!”
Go Johan said, looking at Choi Shinwoo with a cold gaze.
“I’m not talking to you.”
-I’ll keep that in mind, Boss.
And.
Bang!
As if to destroy everything, Choi Shinwoo rushed towards Go Johan.
It was said that as time passed, the level of top-ranked players was in the late 200s.
Right now, Choi Shinwoo might not compare to that, but he would have power in the early 200s.
And when an ordinary person suddenly gains such power, they go berserk, intoxicated with an indescribable sense of omnipotence as if they’ve become a god.
Crack!
“Foolish b*st*rd.”
How dare.
“You’ve done what you shouldn’t have done and said what you shouldn’t have said.”
Struggle! Struggle!
Choi Shinwoo was writhing under Go Johan’s feet.
“The first is that a human created by the goddess coveted something like a devil.”
Crack!
Choi Shinwoo’s swollen back cracked and broke.
“How dare you.”
Crackle!
“The second crime is insulting the goddess and my parents.”
B*st*rd, how dare you.
He had heard people at school, family members, or others say things like he had chuunibyou when they saw his way of speaking or acting.
So what?
The worlds they lived in were different, their ages were different.
For the sake of his parents, he might try to hide it, but.
Bang!
It didn’t apply to trash who sold their souls to demons.
“Kuheok!”
Choi Shinwoo, who couldn’t do anything despite transforming into a demon beast, had fallen with cracks all over his body.
Swish.
Right on cue, Yoon Seung-ah appeared in the shaking space.
“Especially keep a close eye on those who form groups for no reason or show excessive loyalty. It could be the influence of the seed.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Then Go Johan’s body shuddered slightly.
Everything he had said.
‘Isn’t it the same as me?’
And he shook his head.
He wouldn’t deny it.
He had vowed to become a demon to hunt demons.
“You don’t need to worry about this place, I’ll take care of it. And…”
Ripple.
Yoon Seung-ah looked down at the fallen Choi Shinwoo with eyes flickering with flames of anger.
“I’ll thoroughly investigate the seed.”
How dare they insult the Boss’s goddess and parents.
That was the expression on her face.
