Chapter 1 prologue
A shabby, dusty man crossed the hallway and stopped at the door.
click.
When I opened the door, a familiar scene unfolded.
A narrow space where only one person can barely lie down.
A space with no windows to let in light.
This was a small room.
“I’m going to die.”
A man with a tired expression on his face muttered to himself and sat down.
Changing her clothes and washing her clothes was put off for a while.
My body was sore.
I was so tired that I wanted to rest for a while.
I thought I got used to construction, but I guess I wasn’t.
No, no matter how much you get used to it, hard work is just hard work.
It takes a little less energy because of the stamina, but the fatigue doesn’t go away.
“ha… … .”
A long sigh escaped her man’s mouth.
Not only was he physically tired, but he was also exhausted mentally.
The daily routine repeats like a squirrel wheel.
Still, there was no hope.
Construction work is as hard as it is hard to earn.
Because of that, there are quite a few of her colleagues who are in the fun of raising money.
However, it does not apply to men.
It’s not that her man spends money in a rush.
She, on the contrary, clenched her teeth and spat out.
But it was pouring water into the poison that had fallen down.
It was because of her father’s medical bills.
Her man’s name is Choi Hyunseong.
I am twenty-seven years old this year.
Three years ago, Hyunseong was just an ordinary college student.
However, problems arose when his father suddenly fell ill with an incurable disease called magic reflux.
He didn’t even know he had the disease until his father got it.
Of course, it was a far-off country.
But suddenly it became a reality.
My father’s magic reflux is an incurable disease that was caused 19 years ago when the dimensional
gate was opened.
With the opening of the dimensional gate, mankind has faced a tremendous change.
And there was a new power called magic.
This magical power was both a curse and a blessing to mankind.
Early humans suffered many hardships.
He suffered enormous human and material damage that was hard to imagine by the monsters of
another world that had crossed the dimensional gate.
However, with the power of the players and modern weapons that appeared at the same time as the
advent of magical power, the problems were solved one by one.
And now, rather than hunting monsters, he began to see huge profits.
As a result, there were people who said that the appearance of the Dimension Gate was a blessing
rather than a curse.
But for Hyunseong’s family, it was just a curse, not a blessing.
Because my father fell ill with an incurable disease.
With the advent of the dimension gate, there were many diseases.
All of them were diseases related to magical powers that suddenly appeared.
But one by one they were being conquered.
Magic reflux is one of them.
hearthstone.
There are several types of manastones, and one of them is to create an inhibitor that prevents the
progression of magic reflux.
Hyunseong’s family clinged to inhibitors.
Her mother increased her work to two.
Originally, she only worked as a factory production worker.
But after her father passed away, she was washing dishes in the restaurant until late at night after work
in the factory.
It wasn’t enough for her older sister to give out all the money she had saved up for her marriage, so
she spent most of her salary to buy her father’s inhibitors.
That wasn’t enough, so I got a short-term part-time job after work.
Hyunseong also took a break from school and jumped into the nogada board where he could earn
money right away.
The problem is that inhibitors are prohibitively expensive.
The material for the inhibitor is the Manastone of a Rare Grade Named Monster.
Of course, money was scarce.
Even after collecting all of her mother’s salary, her sister’s salary, and the money that Hyunseong earns
from labor, she couldn’t afford it.
Naturally, the family’s wealth was reduced metallurgically.
It was like being in a hell with no hope.
But he couldn’t just let his father die.
My heart was tired.
Hyunseong’s family just endured and endured, hoping for a cure to come out quickly.
Three years have already passed.
At first, I thought that a cure would be developed with a little patience.
However, as time went by, hope gradually turned into despair.
‘I want to be a player.’
player.
The beings who supply the father’s inhibitory materials. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
The reason why inhibitors are expensive is that manastone is a raw material that is commonly used in
various fields.
The player is the producer who produces the raw material.
They made huge amounts of money that ordinary people could not even imagine.
where is that
They are superhumans beyond the limits of human beings.
He smashes rocks the size of a house with his bare hands, jumps over buildings, and spews fire and
ice from his hands.
Hyunseong was really envious of those players.
And he wished that such luck would come to him.
He seemed to be able to escape from the grim reality of now if only the player was there.
However, the mechanism of becoming a player was still unknown.
I couldn’t find any connections between the players at all.
That’s why the general public thought of being a player similar to the lottery.
great luck.
However, that luck has not come to Hyunseong for 19 years.
“Oh, I want to wake up.”
I want to be a player.
I still want to be a player, but I want to become a player more intensely.
If that were the case, he would be able to escape from the wretched reality of now… … .
“haha!”
A laugh came out of nowhere.
If I became a player because I desperately wanted it, the entire human race would probably have
become a player.
‘I need to wash up and go to sleep.’
Tomorrow I have to go to the construction site again.
I had to go to bed early to get some rest.
However… … .
Wrath!
At that moment, a bright light enveloped Hyunseong’s body.
