When the ability users first appeared i was just a little kid.7 Years old. and those people were hero's. They were the objects of envy. To be honest aren't they all cool? They came better than Everyone Else. and left better than every one else. Since Monsters were masses of money. Salaries of BILLIONS of Won
T/N: Millions of U.S. Dollars
Since monsters are energy resources it's to be expected. But what am I? I somehow graduated from a good college. But I still... I'm 27 Years Old. Even after Graduating And Going to the army I'm still living as a part-timer.
T/N: all Korean men have to go to the army for around 1 and a half years in their 20's.
Korea hasn't changed much in the past 20 years.
The only thing would probably be that the prices of snacks have risen to the point there's talks of snack-NEUMIN?
T/N: Neunim is a very respectful person Suffix when referring to someone, so I'm assuming he means that snacks are worshipped or people who buy snacks are worshipped.
But if you think about it, there are some things that have changed
------------------------------------------------------------
North Korea was destroyed. because of the beast.
-------------------------------------------------------------
North Korea didn't have the strength to repel them.
Although bullets did work on them there were too many that were too much for Korea
Black silhouettes of Korean Soldiers staring at you(Army of wolfs)
It was impossible for them to ward off such a large number
(People getting mauled to death my Monster Wolds)
The result was that north Korea was destroyed.
And it wasn't just Korea
Hokkaido was also a Monster Paradise "did all the the people who lived there die" you ask?
Half of the earth is beast land even so Korea somehow held on.
That was because of the hunters did a good job. since we avoided morbid extermination thanks to them.
Because of that Korea's Hunters Crossed where the 38th Parallel was and hunted there.
Ugh But how does that concern me? I've been a regular citizen until now and it'll stay that way.
An Ability user's awakening usually happens before 20
Since I'm 27 It's impossible for me to become an ability user.
Welcome.
'How nice...'
there's probably no reason for that sort of woman to come to me...
A star stone necklace?
Its a necklace made from a piece of a crystal that comes out of monster when caught.
It' because of a mission since there's a mission that lets you develop and ability if you have a star stone necklace.
"Its 60,00 won"
(???) here.
T/N: about $51.89
But i also have one. since it's embarrassing I never wear it and always have it in my pocket.
[Time passes by]
[MUFFLED: it's an event product huh.]
Is it over?
(Time skip inside house)
(2nd POV)
My exclusive home it's small but nice.
(1st POV)
"Uggh today's passing like this too."
"Should I shower? no... I'm lazy."
(2nd Pov)
showers should only be done once a day twice is a luxury.
But I'll eat.
T/N: from convenience store.
I eat what's left over.
(1st POV)
"should I sleep?"
(2nd POV)
I'm now used to even this ceiling.
Isn't that true? Since its been over half a year.
(Eyes close)
Although my part time job is difficult it's impossible to obtain impressive assets.
As it continues time passes.
And i feel like I'm being Pushed down by a heap of debts accumulated over the years.
(Vision Fogs)
The Sensation of walking down a road without a single lantern.
It's the feeling of going into a swamp.
Many peoples beside me also probably feel this.
(???) should I
(First POV)
"Huh?"
Should I give you strength.
What?
(2ND POV)
But just what is this? did i hallucinate something? just what us this situation?
This isn't a manhwa that I read as a kid is it a scene from a fantasy novel? No?
Its not. Recently these sorts of things are considered childish so it's a scene that wouldn't come out?
(???) I don't need an answer I will give you strength.
(first pov)
(???) LIVE.
"UGH..."
(Yells in immense pain)
(Blackout's)
(2nd POV)
That was my awakening.
