Chapter 14: Special Privilege (4) (2/2)

“…” Chi-Woo tilted his chin and closed his eyes How great—not only was he suddenly dragged away to sogage “da treated this well The pain gradually dwindled He could ree, but his mind was still blank It felt like he had just woken up from a deep sleep, and he had to recover his senses first

‘I have to getand looked around

“Hs slowly came into view, he realized that he was in a place coht to ‘It seems I am…in a warehouse for trash?’

A pile of moldy, wooden boxes was disorderly stacked in the corner, and debris littered on a floor covered in crushed hay Perhaps that hy the room appeared so full It was about 252 to 288 square feet and as big as a one-rooh to accommodate only one or two people at most Usually, when heroes traveled to another world, they appeared out of a reet the and hear about the situation facing the kingdom

‘This is a bit…’ Chi-Woo hadn’t expected his first stop to be an old storage roo by the thick layer of dust on the floor and the stale s the air Chi-Woo frowned and scrunched up his nose

“Ugh…” He hadn’t realized it right away since he was so du off from this room was quite awful It seee since they built it But besides that, he didn’t see Giant Fist, Mua Janya, or any of the rest of the seventh recruitment team

‘Was I that late? But I don’t think those tould leave without me’ They would have most likely looked for him if they didn’t see him It was more reasonable to conclude that all of the recruits had landed in separate places because of the unstable connection

‘I’m sure of it I’m the only one who fell here’

If there was someone besides him, there should have been some traces left However, Chi-Woo didn’t even spot a footstep, and all he could see were layers upon layers of dust save for the place he had landed He wouldn’t be gaining hts, shouldered his backpack, and got up In order to gain useful infor

“What the hell Why isn’t it openi…!” While Chi-Woo struggled to open the rusty door, he heard a strange sound

Swish

The sound quickly passed by, so Chi-Woo didn’t pay it much attention and instead pushed the door with both hands While he was trying to push the door with his whole body—

Ba the door ‘What was that just now?’ He thought he heard so crash outside No, he was sure of it “Who is—” Chi-Woo was about to ask as outside, but quickly closed hisall the seventh-batch recruits; it would be overly optimistic to the point of naivety for hiure outside was one of his fellow recruits Even though they ood to be extra cautious Chi-Woo stoppedand carefully pulled his hands away fro and turned his ears towards the sound

Swish, swish…

He definitely heard it this ti pulled

Ba the ground Now that he thought about it, his surroundings were suspiciously quiet It was so quiet that he could even hear the smallest noise

Swish, swish, swish, swish

The row closer and closer Chi-Woo wondered if he had made a loud noise when he landed here He followed his instincts andby the situation, it sees and royals like the heroes in comics

Swish

The sound stopped in front of the door An o both inside and outside the warehouse until—

Crash!+

The iron door that wouldn’t budge no matter how hard Chi-Woo pushed broke off with a ferocious sound There was nothing in the warehouse The place that Chi-Woo landed on was also empty, as he had quickly hidden himself behind the wooden boxes He didn’t even breathe Chi-Woo covered hiswith the other

shi+…!

The sound of air escaping through teeth rang in the warehouse An evil energy swept through the space in the form of cold air After a while

Swish…

He heard the sound of soain, then…

Ba

Swish, Bam! Swish, Bam! Swish, Ba was opening and checking each door Chi-Woo sat paralyzed and didn’t e an inch until the sound moved far away By that time, he was completely out of breath

“Pw…eh………” Chi-Woo let out his breath as softly as possible and quietly dropped to the ground All the emotions he had suppressed flowed out of him like water He felt an innate fear towards the unknown

—Even if you’re extreh

He suddenly recalled Laguel’s words

‘What was that…just now…’ The evil energy he felt was enough to make him shi+ver head to toe in fear What would have happened if he had hidden behind the wooden boxes a second slower?

Gulp

The sound of hi ay louder than usual He hadn’t realized it, but his heart was beating in a frenzy Now that he thought about it, he had been way too cale how calmly he had accepted this role and situation He had acted way too indifferent to everything else because he was overwhel he could do At the end of the day, however, he was not a hero, but an ordinary person

Mua Janya said that they were now in the sah Chi-Woo had lived an unusual life, he was still an ordinary person in the end It was absurd to coh all kinds of thorny paths filled with hardshi+ps and adversity

‘If this is how it’s going to be…’

‘I shouldn’t have coly shook his head He had co dissuasions from multiple individuals

‘I need to stay focused’ He needed to understand his limits and reassess himself Because everyone he met was so awed by hiht he had beco to However, they were treating him this way not because of who he was, but because of his brother and his faht jolted Chi-Woo’s mind awake like a bucket of cold water He chastised hi only that he needed to find his brother and bring hiame’

If he died, it would be all over Before he found his brother, he first needed to be concerned about his survival Chi-Woo took a deep breath and peeked out his head a tiny bit and stared at where he had been before Nothing had changed except the fact that the door was noide open No, there was one more difference

‘This smell is…’

A metallic smell wafted into his nose—it was the smell of blood He saw a hall past the opened door It see

‘I should first get out’

He couldn’t just stay here all day There was no guarantee that this place was safe, and soot up fros to move, he carefully stepped around the fallen door and stood in front of the entrance

‘It’d be really creepy if soain After checking that there was no one around, he went outside The smell of blood immediately thickened Chi-Woo’s eyes narrowed

‘This is…’
