"Thank you! young people! Have a nice day~!!"
The japtem shop owner saw me off with a bright expression that didn't seem like he could make it at all.
Of course.
It was the first time in my life to buy something with 12.5 million won in cash.
This is an illegal transaction.
I used to trade used goods often on the Internet, but this was on a different level.
"Thank you!"
Of course.
If the shop owner knew that this Awakening Stone contained an S-class Awakening Stone that actually worked, he would never have sold it to me for 12.5 million won.
The shop owner thought of me as Hogu, and on the contrary, I thought of him as Hogu.
It's obvious which of the two is right.
I left the store with both hands full of plastic bags and went back the way I came.
As I was walking, I saw Park Chang-soo walking this way.
When he saw me, he was startled and fled to the side.
He saw him screaming like a madman, so he might have thought he was someone he shouldn't be around.
He also had a plastic bag in his hand.
A simple bag containing only one Awakening Stone.
'Sorry.'
I sincerely apologized to him, who should have turned his life around by becoming an S-class hunter instead of me.
But I don't really feel sorry.
Because anyway, this is a matter of luck.
Besides, Park Chang-soo was living in a well-to-do family, unlike me, who had all of his family members abroad and barely had tuition for a semester.
It's an environment where you can become anything even if you don't become a Hunter.
I'm down on the test and I'm down, but it won't last long.
'Well, I'm going to kill a bit of luck, too.'
How did luck pour in instead, did he win first place in the lottery, and this time he returned and got an S-class Awakening Stone.
Can not help it.
It's a given luck, so I have no choice but to enjoy it to the fullest.
Whoop whoop.

When I got home, I started searching the Internet.
Because I didn't know how to use the Awakening Stone.
Finding that way was easy.
Because at this time, buying and using Awakening Stones was a worldwide boom.
Instructions on how to use it were written on the internet.
All you have to do is break this plum-sized stone with an appropriate object.
It was said that smoke would flow out of it, and that it would naturally seep into the human respiratory system.
I bought 26 Awakening Stones.
In other words, except for one Awakening Stone, the remaining twenty-five were ineffective fakes.
I wondered if it was okay to drink the smoke coming out of the fake Awakening Stone, but there were no side effects written on the Internet.
Although it was said that it sometimes caused vomiting, it was probably for psychological reasons.
It's like being the type that doesn't drink smoke well by nature.
Anyway, now that you know the method, it's time to put it into practice.
I was a bit hungry, but I deliberately didn't eat.
Vomiting symptoms come up with a low probability, but I didn't want to check what I ate again.
"Whoa..."
I made preparations with a godly heart.
Newspapers were spread widely, and twenty-six Awakening Stones, pliers, and a small hammer were placed.
Tools such as pliers and hammers were basically equipped.
Because I enjoy disassembling and modifying various electronic devices, including computers.
There are more than 100 games that I have tuned.
Of course, 15 years into the future.
I put the first Awakening Stone in front of me.
I thought that if I broke it with a hammer, fragments would splatter, so I broke it lightly with pliers.
shred.
A little smoke came out, but not much.
I put it on the floor and hit it with a hammer.
perseok-
Contrary to what was expected by looking at the hard surface, it shattered calmly and emitted smoke.
Normal white smoke.
It spontaneously flowed into my nose, mouth, and ear canal.
It was a bit reluctant, but it was nothing to say that I could become an S-class Hunter.
It is a fact that I found out through an internet search, and it is said that among the Awakening Stone fans, there are people who inhale hundreds of smokes every day.
Wealth was also wealth, but it was also a question of where to get so many Awakening Stones.
Maybe there are people who run a factory somewhere with that person as a hukou.
The virtuosos seemed to have the belief that mana might be generated in their bodies by itself someday if they drank smoke like that.
This is how people's desires are frightening. Because they are willing to enter the path of protection without being guided.
Anyway, I actively inhaled this unpleasant smoke.
"Whoa~~!!"
There was no smell.
It's to the point where I doubt if I've been drinking properly.
If you spent 500,000 won this much, you would think that there is no such thing as a hogu.
I waited in silence for something to change within me.
But I couldn't feel anything.
'Well, it's the first time.'
What is the probability of choosing an S-class Awakening Stone from the beginning out of the 26 Awakening Stones?
No wonder.
I broke the second Awakening Stone with ease.
The same thing happened this time too.
I inhaled smoke that had no smell.
third.
shred!
fourth,
Quick!
Fifth,
Perseok!
I was getting used to breaking the Awakening Stone, but it didn't mean anything by itself.
I just continued to breathe smoke that had no smell.
When the last one was left, anxiety overtook me.
"Fuck, this..."
Isn't there an S-class Awakening Stone here?
The knowledge I gained was from the game.
'Hunter Manager' was a game famous for its accurate data, but there was no guarantee that all the data contained in it was true.
Besides, wasn't trading Awakening Stone itself illegal now and in the future?
Park Chang-soo, an S-class hunter, might have simply wrapped up an anecdote he had experienced in the past.
It's because I'm bored if I just wake up.
It wasn't the gwanjong type, but it's a law that people don't know until they've experienced it properly.
"Haaa..."
I wanted to cry.
If the last one Awakening Stone doesn't work either.
Does it mean that I went back 15 years?
There was no other way to become a Hunter.
It wasn't that there were no illegal means, but none of them had proven effective.
No matter how much money I have, I will end up wasting it all unnecessarily.
"Hey!"
Looking back, there was nothing to lose.
Because you're 15 years younger.
Wouldn't there be merits that could be enjoyed just by the fact that he had regressed?
Besides, I also had seed money of 8 billion won.
I can do anything.
I also have information about the future for 15 years.
I made up my mind to be depressed.
Then, he broke the last Awakening Stone with pliers, just like he had done 25 times before.
fast.
The white smoke seeping out of it bothered me.
I don't know what color the smoke from the real Awakening Stone is.
I couldn't find any success stories on the internet.
And the virtuosos who fell for the Awakening Stone believed that successful people would quietly disappear.
He would not want to reveal that he became a Hunter with the Awakening Stone.
Is it really so?
Rather, I think it will stand out as a special case among many, many hunters.
The guild, which wants to be noticed, might hire him for a higher-than-average ransom.
anyway.
I broke the last Awakening Stone with a hammer, full of disappointment.
Shuuk-
The white smoke was absorbed into me in vain.
If I say fortunately, is it to the extent that vomiting did not occur at all?
At least it didn't seem like a fake Awakening Stone made in an unhealthy way.
"Haaa..."
I looked down at the fragments of Awakening Stones spread out in newspapers, without even thinking about cleaning them up.
Then I picked up my cell phone.
It's still too early to be disappointed.
I searched for a reaction to the awakened hunters.
"hmm..."
There was a lot and a lot of data, but the rough summary was that within 24 hours after the first awakening reaction, you become aware of your own characteristics.
Because there are so many different types of Hunters.
Anyway, there was nothing I could do within 24 hours.
I was confused whether or not the initial awakening reaction had also occurred.
At least not as far as I remember.
First, I cleared the trash that stretched in front of me.
This is 12.5 million won.
No matter how much money you have, if you think you've spent it for nothing, you'll feel sick to your stomach.
After taking out the trash, I sat down in front of the computer.
As expected, seeing the booting screen made me feel a little more comfortable.
Games, movies, animations, and pornography are still the most precious things to me even after 15 years.
I looked at what games were on the hard disk.
"oh!"
Among them, there was a game title that caught my eye.
It is not a game obtained through the normal route.
Because this game was a 19 gold game with hard content.
'It's a memory, a memory.'
I chuckled and double-clicked the game executable.
A corner of my heart was still bitter, but at least the hard 19 gold game would comfort my heart to some extent.
