Seo Woojin — Part 1 Ding! With a cheerful chime, a green light flickered. I took a deep breath. The damp air that had been suffocating my lungs was replaced with a fresh breeze, tickling my windpipe. ‘My efficiency is terrible.’ This was taking way too long. Last time I came here with a team,…

Level 1 Superhuman — Part 4 “…Oh my god.” Thud. The employee dropped the water bottle. Water spilled across the floor, but she made no move to clean it up. She was too shocked to even think about it. What she had just witnessed was beyond shocking. I clenched my fist quietly. All the mana…

Level 1 Superhuman — Part 3 “L-Lady Saintess?” The employee swallowed hard, her eyes brimming with undeniable admiration and awe. But the Saintess wasn’t looking at her. She was walking straight toward me, her gaze locked solely on mine. As she stopped right in front of me, murmurs began spreading through the crowd, who had…

Level 1 Superhuman — Part 2 Seokchon Lake. In the original world, there used to be Lotte World and Lotte World Tower. I lifted my head and gazed up at the towering structure before me, piercing the sky— the Superhuman Tower. The triplet towers. This place was a hub for all things related to superhumans:…

Level 1 Superhuman — Part 1 Level 1 Superhuman Level 1! It sounds like a big deal, but it’s really not. A healthy adult male gets some training in a boot camp, picks up an assault rifle, and voilà, that’s a Level 1 superhuman. That said, it’s not entirely meaningless. In this world, being a…

Gunfight — Part 2 “I’m going to kill you!” Roe Deer roared. Crack. He gripped his pistol so tightly that it was on the verge of crumbling in his hand. But it didn’t matter. Roe Deer, now fully awakened as a Level 1 superhuman, was as dangerous as a rifleman armed with an automatic rifle….

Gunfight — Part 1 What’s going on? I don’t know. Maybe I’m overreacting. It’s possible he’s just reaching for a business card or an invitation. But everything I’ve been through since falling into this strange world is sounding alarm bells in my head. “Ugh!” I turned and bolted. Teeth clenched, I kicked off the ground….

Escape from the Goshiwon — Part 3 I didn’t need a big, fancy weapon. Something suitable for dealing with Level 0 or Level 1 threats would be enough. It would be even better if I could get some armor too. ‘In the end, it all comes down to money.’ No matter what, I needed money….

Escape from the Goshiwon — Part 2 Gwanak District, Seoul. In a real estate office, I sat across from the agent, a desk between us. “So, security is your top priority.” “Yes. After going through some rough experiences, safety became my number one concern.” “As you probably know, homes with good security are quite expensive….

Escape from the Goshiwon — Part 1 — “Ugh, I feel like I’m dying.” I threw myself onto the old, worn-out bed. The bed creaked, as if it were screaming in pain. I wasn’t any different. Every muscle in my body ached, and each movement felt like my muscles were crying out in agony. The…
