“What is this?”
No matter how many times he blinked, the message in front of him did not disappear.
“Connected? What…”
While wondering if the stress that he had been under caused some sort of mental illness, Joo Min-Seong cautiously raised his hand to the message.
[FFF-class building owner capability is now linked.]
[The connection is complete.]
When he reached for the message, the small window began to disappear. Beyond that, he could see the guards of the association coming out of the security office.
“What are you here for?”
“Ah.”
“Mr. Awakened… Hmm? Isn’t that Joo Min-Seong?”
The guards, who were guarding the security office for free, also recognized at a glance Joo Min-Seong’s face from watching TV.
“Hey! Come out! There’s a celebrity here!”
“What’s up? Who’s here?”
“It’s Joo Min-Seong! The world’s first FFF class!”
“Really? Wow! For real?”
The initial polite manners were nowhere to be seen. Throughout the night, he was the recipient of rude gazes, as if he were an escaped monkey.
“Hey… I’d like to enter the gate.”
“Oh, really? This is an F-level gate. Will you be okay? It’s an easy gate, of course. But wouldn’t it be a little hard for our Min-Seong?”
The guards sarcastically taunted Joo Min-Seong, speaking casually to him as if it were natural.
‘I have to bear it.’
“Huh? What’s wrong with your face? Excuse me, Joo Min-Seong. Do you have any complaints?”
“…no.”
“Yes, if you had any complaints, then it’d be awkward for both of us.”
Without giving him time to answer, the guards’ fists flew toward Joo Min-Seong.
Pow!
“Ugh!”
The terrible pain he felt in his stomach made Joo Min-Seong fall to the floor without even breathing properly.
“Hey. Are you pissed? You think you’re some kind of SSS? If you’re at the bottom, you have to crawl like those at the bottom.”
“Cough! Cough!“
“Wow, this bastard’s so weak. Did you use your powers to hit him?”
“No? I didn’t use my powers on purpose, but he’s dying like that. Keke. I was bored but this went nicely.”
It was only then that he realized he was too complacent. What kind of attitude should he take in this society where his rank had already become the lowest class? Those who had defined themselves as the lowest, let alone pity, were all eager to ridicule him.
Therefore, Joo Min-Seong had to be reminded of his place.
‘I can’t die here!‘
Joo Min-Seong quickly organized his thoughts and opened his mouth with difficulty.
“I’m sorry… Cough! I’m sorry!”
“Did you hear that? We’re getting an apology from a celebrity, aren’t we? You can report it if you want. I didn’t even use my powers.”
“…I won’t report it.”
Having managed to work hard for years, Joo Min-Seong already had a stronger body than his peers. However, he noticed that his body had a problem, not being able to withstand even the ordinary fist of a security guard.
‘I’m certain about it now. My body has weakened. What the hell did the association do to me? What the hell did I do wrong? Why to me of all people?’
The sense of impotence that had appeared at the same time he awakened the ability had actually degraded Joo Min-Seong’s physical abilities. He already knew that he was out of breath because of his low stamina and while his body’s reaction to throwing the cell phone was quite awkward, he had just ignored reality.
‘There is no other way for now. Let’s accept it.’
After slowly confirming the return of his breathing, Joo Min-Seong lowered his head and gave up the pretense.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Just let me enter the gate!”
This would be the only time he would act servile.
He had hopes regarding the message that popped up just now.
“Ah, that’s right. You weren’t here to play with us.”
“All of the guys coming here are all low level, but if they’re really the bottom level, I should haze them at least once. I’ll have to boast to the boys later. Fuhaha!”
It looked like their misdeeds had not been limited to just Joo Min-Seong, other Awakened were mentioned by the guards.
“Hey! What happened to that muscle reinforcement Awakened, who kept bragging about his strength last time?”
“That dude? He was taken to the hospital, but do you think an F-class would have any money? He was announced to be in a vegetative state. No matter how much he raves about his strength, it’s still an F-rank you know? It was self-defense, and I’m a member of the association, so it ended in a week’s pay cut.”
“LOL, human sandbags are quite expensive, aren’t they?”
A series of terrible times, with no sign of ending. The hatred toward the talent hidden inside him was growing. Joo Min-Seong suppressed and repressed the anger as much as he could, trying to postpone it to escape the situation again.
“I’m sorry! Please!”
“Yes, you’re a little more polite now.”
“Phew. What a waste of money to Awaken.”
The fee for awakening was money that Joo Min-Seong had painstakingly accumulated. Although he was a person who learned how to control facial expressions through social life, he relied on money the most.
Without money, Joo Min-Seong had nothing left.
“Hey, if you’re going to be treated like this, why did you Awaken? Don’t you want to just live like a normal person? Did you think high grades were that easy to get? Is the world easy?”
The rage that endured the thirst of the guards finally leaked out.
Crunch!
“Huh? Did you just grind your teeth?”
Joo Min-Seong, who belatedly noticed that he had gnashed his teeth, apologized quickly. But it was useless and the price was kicking.
Kick!
“Huck! I’m sorry!”
“No, it’s okay. I don’t hate cocky bastards. You’re willing to be a sandbag, aren’t you? You’re an FFF-class, so you’ll be less disciplined, right? Do you want more? Huh?”
Puck! Puck! Puck!
“Cough! Cough!“
After a dozen beatings, the exhausted Joo Min-Seong was finally able to continue his conversation with them. Only, the relationship was divided by overwhelming violence.
“I won’t mess with you again! Just let me in!”
“Whew, okay then. We were able to get some workout thanks to you. Hey, your endurance ain’t half-bad, eh? I’ll play with you often.”
He had a lot to say, but he endured it again. If they hit him any more, he might become a real vegetable. Joo Min-Seong just wanted it to end quickly.
“Hey. Just unpack.”
“Yes…”
Joo Min-Seong opened his bag and showed its contents.
“Let me see. Ha…”
“Isn’t it all cheap?”
The gate exploration equipment, which cost as much as 3 million won, was no more than trash for them. Their grades were unknown, but it was clear that the salary was quite good because they belonged to the association.
“Why is there nothing on you that I can take?”
“Oh. Isn’t this the new ramen? This is confiscated.”
A brand new ramen product that he had bought for camping in the dungeon. To make the ramen more delicious, Joo Min-Seong had carefully packed red pepper powder, green onion, and garlic in a container. The loss of his ramen devastated him, but he managed to keep his expression blank.
“You don’t have any complaints, do you?”
“No. Enjoy your meal…”
“Yes. Yes. I’ll let you go now. You know it’s no use reporting, right? We have a ‘big’ man behind us.”
This secluded gate security was an easy job of its own kind.
“I give you my word.”
“All right. Now you can go in. I will show you my ability as a reward. ”
As he had no right to reject, Joo Min-Seong could only go and watch the guard show off his abilities.
“This is a real ability.”
Boo-woong-
Without any warning, Joo Min-Seong’s body instantly rose into the air.
“What is this?”
No matter how many times he blinked, the message in front of him did not disappear.
“Connected? What…”
While wondering if the stress that he had been under caused some sort of mental illness, Joo Min-Seong cautiously raised his hand to the message.
