Chapter 8 (1/2)

-[A Kawod has picked up your scent. You had sweat so much in fear of the Cyclops that you got rid of the odorless spray’s effect.]

“You should have told me earlier!”

Cha Jun Sung yelled as he ran to the vent. He had gone up and down it so much that he got up to it with much more ease.

-[It is too late.]

Kiik!

Two Kawods entered the room. Cha Jun Sung stopped his useless movement and grabbed his dagger. He could not show his back to the enemy.

-[The rest of the Kawods are observing the Cyclops from the first floor. This is your chance.]

Tatat!

Cha Jun Sung acted like he was attacking and closed the door to the room. The Kawods who were suddenly trapped scrambled around before giving up and lunging at him.

Puk.

His long leg hit the stomach of a Kawod running at him.

It was light and flew to hit the wall. Cha Jun Sung threatened the others with the dagger and went to the one against the wall and stepped on him.

Kwak!

“Keuk!”

There was a sharp pain in his shoulder. The one in good condition had taken advantage of him. He could hear his skin ripping under its sharp teeth.

“Assholes!”

He was angry. Because of the pain? Because he had been bitten by something half his size? More than that, he was angry with the entire situation he was stuck in.

Puk.

He stabbed the Kawod’s head with the dagger he had clenched in his fist.

It relaxed its grip as its brain was penetrated, and it fell to the ground. He took out the dagger and stabbed the one that he was stepping on.

“Four Kawods.”

A vehemence came from Cha Jun Sung’s eyes. There were only a few left.

This hell was over if he could just kill those last few. He did not go back into the vent. He intended to just kill them as he saw them.

***

Kaek!

The last Kawod fell over. He could finally head back.

-[Congratulations. You have cleared the closed area tutorial mission.]

-[You have earned 100 points.]

-[The store is open. Would you like to go to the briefing room?]

“Yes.”

When he nodded his head, his vision faded to white just like when he had come to the closed area, and the briefing room appeared. The principle seemed to be similar to dimensional movement.

-[Will you treat your injuries? You will be cured to your normal state with 50 points.]

“Yeah.”

His clothes had been ripped to rags and he was caked in blood all over his body.

If he went back like this, he would have to live in a hospital.

-[Your treatment will start once you lay in the capsule to the left.]

Cha Jun Sung followed Odin’s instructions. It felt cool. His injuries were healed with 50 points. His clothes remained the same.

-[Congratulations.]

“Congratulations?”

He was bewildered. If Odin was a person, he would have beat him up.
