Have a Meal Before You Go

On the other side of the alley stood a familiar man and woman. Chulho, who thought he was a lover, shakes his head. It's because the woman was in uniform. One of those students, Hannah.

It's so young and handsome.

In other words, schools in this age were no longer solely responsible for education.

Divide the ranks of the most important ‘Awakened' talents in this age and conduct education accordingly. Think of it as the role of the old secondary school.

"Daughter."

Excuse me for watching this. I heard a woman's voice again in the ear of Iron Tiger, who slipped her head into the door.

- Dad, what's wrong with you? Don't come to the observation class! Please! I'm embarrassed! Why did you show up in front of the kids?

Hmm.

- All you have to do is eat and wait! Dad always eats! No matter how powerful you are! Can't you bear it any longer? Are you even interested in me? I'm sick of it, too! You're gross!

Chulho raised his head again and looked at his daughter as the Detect Kid.

- Tendency: Line

- Class: Healing

- Class achievement: Low

- Acquisition Ability: Award

Healing ability? ’

The Awakening Man on the Healing side was truly a nobleman of nobles and a considerable superior power.

I heard the sound of running along with the sound of running. Cheolho stepped away from the door and sat down. Somehow a picture is drawn in front of your eyes.

- Mijin, that's, that's not it, he's...

The man's voice grows weaker and weaker.

With a long sigh, I hear a thumping sound.

Cheolho shook his head with his arms closed. And one day, I saw a room with my ears clenched.

“Khan.”

“Why?”

Chulho looked at the tangerines with his eyelids slightly closed.

“Take Tangerine inside and put her to sleep. Guests are coming."

Khan held a tangerine in his mouth. Then I walked into the room with a big smile and an elongated kiss on both cheeks of a tangerine.

* * *

I didn't have the strength to be a man today.

Cheolho glances down at him. He was a big man, but he looked small today.

The man sits dumbfounded and stares down at the table.

Chulho purposely said nothing.

I just waited.

Sometimes it's good to be silent. There are times when you can thank me. He needed that.

The man who was sitting for a long time opened his mouth.

“Ms. Grant, just give me a bottle of soju. ”

Chulho smiled bitterly.

“Of course.”

The man ordered soju instead of ramen.

He drank only elongated soju without even touching Velto Jerky. By the time the two bottles were emptied, the man opened his mouth quietly.

“They're taking parent-teacher classes at her daughter's school soon. ”

“Observatory class. ”

“Yes, my parents are participating in the class. They tell good things to their kids. ”

“....... ”

The man choked on his soju and laughed bitterly.

“Maybe I shouldn't go. ”

“....... ”

Chulho didn't say anything. The man smiled self-conscientiously.

“I am a Grade 7 Awakener. I've evolved my ability to attack, but it's significantly less powerful than others. So you don't get to go to a raid party, and you're always hanging out. ”

Suddenly, there was water in the man's voice.

“My daughter, on the other hand, developed this ability at a young age, and was recognized as a third-rate talent. Half of her daughter is also a high school graduate, and she'll probably be treated by the Awakening Society. That's what all those classmates do, and they're great Awakeners, usually. Awakenings inherit bloodline. ”

“....... ”

I have a hunch.

Like, 30 years ago, I was handing out banners, silver dishes, and dirt dishes in Korea.

The more difficult it is, the more discriminatory it is. Ability divides the human class, and discrimination in that gap only goes deeper.

She would have hated a father who looked incompetent. You wouldn't like yourself being compared to the parents of your best friends. Still, you won't like yourself being ashamed of your father.

His tendency was good.

It can be grumpy at a young age. I regretted it when I got older, but by then it was too late. Chulho had no choice but to listen quietly.

Glug-ug-ug-ug

A man's ship is swaying.

Extreme hunger struck the man. The man grins and laughs as he grabs the sore belly.

“I'm hungry in the meantime. Hahaha, damn it. Hahahaha! I'll die if I don't eat it. If I die, if I die, what do I do with her? ”

I heard the laughter with a cry. The man laughed so mournfully.

“I am a useless insect. ”

But you're wrong about that.

Chulho turns around without a word.

I turned to the kitchen and listened and looked at the eavesdropping compartment. When the Khan looks at the helm, his eyes are wide open and his eyes rolled to the left and to the right.

“Khan.”

“What's the matter? ”

“Can I sew you up thin? ”

The compartment retreats, startled. Then I rolled my eyes and asked.

“You! You, me, are you finally going to eat me? Sa, did you wait until you put on weight? Are you trying to eat meat? Child, in the beginning -”

“....... ”

Cheolho grinned and pointed at his forehead.

“I'm kidding.”

Boggle Boggle

The ramen is cooked.

Cheolho told Khan, grumbling and pouting.

“You're dodging anyway. ”

“....... Yes. ”

“You don't need that shell. It's not as meaningful as a dragon's scale. ”

“....... That's right. ”

“Then we can use it for good. ”

“I tried to keep the tangerines from escaping. ”

“Hehe hehe.”

“It was said to be a souvenir. It's real.”

Keeping the gap grumbling behind, Chulho looks at the white skin on the cutting board. It was the peel that the tangerines escaped from today.

In the continent of Espan, dragons used to make potions using shells that had escaped. Potions are sold at a very high price and offer excellent healing power.

“Anyway, I'm glad we don't have anything to throw away. ”

I was surprised at what Cheolho said.

First things first.

Grill the skin well in the fire. It burns like steam, and when it starts cracking, it sprinkles salt and smashes it.

The shell was crumbled like a crispy, grilled piece of kim. And the finished noodles were topped with a brush.

A spectacular decoration was made, like fried powder.

Chulho walked to the man with a large bowl of ramen.

“Razor noodles. Take a rest." ”

“...... ha, but-”

“I serve.”

The man stared at Cheolho for a long time, then bowed his head and raised his chopsticks.

Without saying anything, I hear a murmur, murmur. The man waited for the crying. I was holding back my tears while eating cotton. I heard a groan, but I pretended I didn't see it on purpose.

The man empties out the ramen without leaving any soup behind.

“I eat well today, too. ”

The man stood up. Then I pulled out a pinch of bills from my pocket.

“....... Thank you for listening to me, boss. ”

“You're welcome.”

Chulho only looks back at him with a quiet smile. Somehow I didn't look like someone else. Maybe he saw his father's back one day.

Thirty years ago, I wonder what he was thinking.

I don't know. Chulho's never been a father. But he will always be a father.

“Customer.”

The man who was about to leave the door looked at him with his helpless eyes.

“Life isn't easy. It's a lot of things that aren't easy, but something that's easy. ”

The man smiled blurrily.

“But still. ”

Chulho folds his arms and looks at him, saying,

“For someone who works hard every day, but sometimes good things happen. ”

“....... ”

Do your best to survive tomorrow.

We'll be waiting, as always.

At Cheolho's words, the man's two eyes were slightly lively. He nods, his lips firmly clasped.

The world is an extension of unfair things.

Always, always.

It's hard to live in a world of natural people.

So I did a little help.

Chulho smiled quietly and watched as he stumbled to the end.

I hope you do your best tomorrow.

Maybe a different world will unfold.

“Why is there no change? ”

I whispered in the slightest compartment.

“I've helped as much as I can. Now that you've eaten the dragon shells, it should be quite helpful. ”

“But nothing's changed. ”

Steel shrugs at the Khan's question.

“You'll see. ”

Man to eat (4)

The man gets up early in the morning, and his daughter falls asleep in a ten-foot cubicle. In both eyes, there were tear marks.

“....... ”

The man reaches out to her cheek with a sad heart. I felt a soft child's cheeks in rough hands. The child fell asleep.

“Dad....... sorry.......”

The man smiles faintly.

She was a good girl.

I've never been deceived in my life. Trying to understand my father, this little thing has worked hard. Essentially, I would have cried all night after saying that yesterday.

“I'm more sorry. ”

I'm sorry I didn't live like everyone else, I'm sorry I embarrassed my friends, I'm sorry I didn't make you rich, but he's always loved you.

The man swallowed a gulp horse into his heart.

Time to go to work.

Before leaving, the man suddenly felt strange.

"Why aren't you hungry enough? ’

Usually, I'd be on my way to hunger, but I wasn't that hungry today.

But you have to eat it to work. The man opened the rice cooker in a small kitchen. Then I set up a piece of kimchi on the bare rice, and carefully ate it because it made a sound.

.

Seodaemun Square was crowded today.

Apparently, Shinchon Underground is also recruiting additional parties to go to the dungeon. The man quickly stood in the line of relief.

“I need a dealer! Final boarding call. Dealer? ”

The man raises his hand as he shouts from afar. Please, just today, think again.

“Over here! Over here! ”

“Oh, come here. ”

The beggar looks at the man and frowns slightly.

“Aren't you the guy from last time? What's your name?"

“Ah…… this is Manho Kim. ”

The man quickly pulled out his Awakening ID card from his pocket. The excuses who saw it kicked my tongue.

“Oh, right, that guy. The guy who got away from the mob the other day. Where are you, at the Yeongdeungpo Dungeon? ”

“Ah.......”

The beggar frowned and shook his head.

“Do you have any weapons? ”

“Well, my skills are physiology. ”

“Oh, right. You can't do that again, because it's a fifth-grade dungeon scare party. The Boss Raiders have already defeated the Dungeon Boss, so we should be fine. Good luck this time. All right? Job offer complete! We're ready to go! ”

He looks back and yells at the whale. It seemed like it was an urgent departure party.

Usually, just before the dungeon attack is over, a party like this is held. I was fortunate to be called the last car.

The man nods with a splendid face.

After entering the dungeon, everyday life was difficult.

The dungeon was a huge jungle. Once you enter through the gate, the jungle appears.

It's almost like a party to get Awakened like a worker in the plaza. It usually deals with the mundane monsters in the dungeon.

However, in the process, monsters can earn extra income such as Grade 10 stallions, which makes the party three times stronger than Nogada.

The man clenches his fist against the running monsters. Appetite enhances physical ability. In addition, there is additional damage to the blow leading to a physical procedure.

The man moved hard. I'm not strangely hungry.

Is that how they moved Hannah's day?

Suddenly, the Awakenings were coming from that side.

“Run!”

“Run, damn it! Hidden Boss is here! ”

“Oh, shit! ”

Hidden Boss is another boss hiding inside the dungeon. A normal dungeon has one boss, sometimes two.

Usually, additional dimensional gaps were opened and appeared very rarely.

And when they do, most of the security guards die.

“Run!”

The Awakening Awakeners rush out of the dungeon gate in a hurry. The man also began to turn and run, grinding his teeth.

But then.

In the man's eyes, I see a stallion lying on the other side of the floor. At first glance, it seemed that a class 8 item could be a big income if sold to the market.

With one of those stable stones, you can fill your party for a week. Then we can buy her something nice, something more delicious.

I can also eat out.

If that's all I need...

The man hesitated for a moment and ran to the stable.

“Mister! Are you crazy? Come quickly!”

I heard someone's voice, but the man ran all the way to the milking power and picked up the stables. When I tried to put it in my pocket and run back towards the gate.

Kugu!

As the space on the other side was torn apart, a massive monster appeared.

Hehehehehehe!

Like Tyrannosaurus, the monster's name is Tiga Rex.

“Huff.”

The man froze in place. Tigarex thumps. He opens his mouth. The sharp, creepy teeth in your jaw pop into your eyes.

I closed my eyes. Somehow, I felt like I was getting warmer.

Juma lamp!

Past times were passing in front of me. A man's past, mostly the memories of his daughter.

When the child is born.

The day he first spoke.

When he started walking.

When a child goes to school.

And the day my wife died...

- Dad...... sorry......

Suddenly, I feel refreshed.

You can't die like this. I can't leave my daughter alone in this world.

Damn it.

When the man closed his eyes, his eyes were full of poison.

I can't die here. I can't, here, ever die.

The man clenched his fist. Then he reaches for the running Tigarex.

“No!”

Someone was frightened.

Kung-!

The man's fist and the giant head of Tigarex collide. I felt pain, but my whole body was strangely hot.

“Huh?"

The man dreamed of both eyes.

Ti stopped Rex's attack. The man realized that his whole body had just gone up in flames. I've never felt anything like this before.

It's the first time in my life!

The man punched again.

Kung-!

The heavy attack hits Tigarex's head and pushes him back.

“Huff!”

The Awakening Awakeners gasp.

The man's whole body had a faint tingling of energy.

Like a bloody Aura!

Like fire!

The red aura that covered the man's whole body suddenly spread to all sides.

I feel hot all the way to my chin. The man roared unknowingly.

Rrrrgh!

“Rae, rae, rank up! ”

Someone yells.

There was a scarlet letter engraved on the man's forehead.

Formula ()

Deity

For the first time, he felt the power of boiling all over his body.

Power surges from deep inside the lungs. In the fist, in the leg, in the gutter!

Wooooooooo!

I punched again with all my strength while the man was feeding.

Guaguava overload!

A huge bang erupted. Tigarex rises into the air, rolling back into the trenches.

Soon he stood up.

He roars a long, bewildered roar, rushing towards the man with all his might. The man bites his teeth.

Glug glug!

Flames are leaking out of my body, and they're embedded in my hands and legs.

Kuaang!

He reaches out his hands and begins to block Tigarex's head.

“Rawr, rawr, rawr!”

Tigarex's gridlock is blocked. The man's body is pushed back and forth, creating a long line on the floor.

Hang in there.

I'm hanging in there.

Shashah Shah!

Then.

Dozens of people enter the gate.

Standing at the gate was Magchang, the Guardian of the Seodaemun Gate, and the Ice Witch of Shinchon. In total, 40 of their teammates quickly enter the gate.

“What?”

Mahchang squeezes his spear and turns his gaze at the man.

“Well, what the heck. Did T. stop Lex by himself? ”

“....... I think so. ”

The ice witch replied with a trembling voice.

“Can you believe it? That's a second-rate monster, Tigarex. How can I do this alone.......”

But one thing's for sure.

Thanks to the man, dozens of lives were saved.

The presence of Hidden Boss and the existence of the task force is the same as the performance of the Super Player.

Mahchang lowered his posture, smiling.

“You're a great guy. I need to get my business card. ”

Tata, Tata, Tata!

And then the Teaga Rex Raid for Raid started.

.

- Tendency: Line

-Class: appetite.

-Class achievement: medium

- Acquisition Ability: Award

There was a gaze that was watching him from beginning to end. It was Cheolho. He was floating in the air. No one has seen him, and no one will see him.

Chulho smiled as he watched the man's class achievement on the Detect Eye.

"Appetite is more like a tanker than a dealer. ’

This is the ability to feel like a ’deal' with a so-called dealer and a tank. The user attacks the target, bouncing back and forth. In terms of Awakening, at least Grade 3 is an acceptable ability to receive.

It's because everyone doesn't know what they're capable of.

That's why he survived the attack on Tigarex.

Here you go.

Let's go back.

* * *

That night.

I heard good news on the radio.

- Breaking news that Tee, Hidden Dungeon Boss, was captured at the Third Raid party in the New Town Tunnel Dungeon. Surprisingly, Kim Man-ho was the biggest actor at this party, and Kim Man-ho was found to be the Awakening Awakener.

- Kim Man-ho is surprisingly a Grade 7 Awakener, who became the first to attack the dungeon while surviving the boss' final solo final. The emergence of Hidden Boss almost took significant damage, but Kim Man-ho's actions.... The Awakening Society decided that the rating was wrong, and took immediate corrective action.......

- Also with great rewards.......

-....... Meanwhile, Kim Man-ho is the father of Miss Kim Mi-jin who is currently studying at the high school of Cipher School.......

Chulho sat on a comfortable chair, holding a tangerine in his arms as he heard the news. Tangerine became quite heavy and the skin became more fluffy.

“Daddy, daddy...”

He mumbled that he was an old dad looking at Chulho, so Chulho lifted him up.

“I'm not your father. ”

“Da-da! Papa!”

Tangerine laughed, not knowing what it meant. Chulho held the tangerine back in his arms with a bloody smile.

It's Dad.

The man was also his father.

He'll be here today, too.

The man who always ordered ramen.

A man who was a good father.

I wait for a man to eat.
