Arena, Alien hunting

I decided to liquidate my old life.

The break is only 11 days.

I don't know how much longer I can live. So I couldn't waste my precious time in this basement.

I called the landlord and told him that I wanted to leave the room immediately. The security deposit was to be returned when the new resident was rescued.

I also called the owner of the convenience store who was doing part-time work. I got hit by a motorcycle and lied about my leg being broken.

The boss was a hothead, but what are you gonna do? He said I was hurt.

After quitting my job, I finally called my mom.

The store opens at 2: 00 p.m., so you must still be at home playing.

As expected, she got cold as soon as she called.

Oh, son, why did you call first?

It was so good to hear my mom's voice even after just one day. I smiled in my mouth without even knowing it.

“I called to see my mom. ”

Hoho, son, have you been drinking all day?

“No.”

Aha, you need some allowance?

“Last week was my payday. ”

It's a miracle you touch a bank account on a monthly basis.

“I know, but I'm still relaxed. ”

Then why did he call? Aha, it's the government exam, isn't it? I don't think we can do this again, so you want me to ask for another chance by next year?

“… Mom, what do you see me as? ”

I think of him as a stonehead.

“Phew, never mind. I'm going home. ”

I beg your pardon?

My mother asked in a surprised voice. I answered.

“I quit my civil service exam and I'm going back tomorrow. I'll do whatever you want me to do, even though it's stir-fried. ”

Son, what's going on?

Yeah, he died once.

I said with a bloody smile.

“It's just, I want my life to be a waste of time like this. I want to be good to my mom. ”

Are you sure about that?

“Have you been deceived? ”

Oh, my God, son! I'm so impressed. I'm just about to cry. What should I do?

“Phew, I'm impressed. That's how loyal he is. ”

Then I heard a conversation over the smartphone.

Hey, it's local! Your brother's finally giving up and coming back!

Really? Oh, thank God. I was worried if I lived more than 30 years ago.

These Humans...

I put up with my anger.

“Anyway, I'll be back tomorrow, so leave my room. ”

Yeah, yeah, yeah. My mom is delicious... ….

“Don't be a chicken. ”

Yeah, I'll make it worth your while.

My mom was excited to hear that I was coming home.

After the call, I called the moving center for a car.

It took less than 30 minutes to get settled.

‘I won't live a minute and a second in vain. ’

I made a firm commitment.

* * *

My family lives in a residential complex in Northwestern Cheonan.

There was a Cheonan Station and bus station right near it, so it was easy to get around, and there were four rooms in 50 square feet, so there was plenty of room for my mom and my three brothers.

I got home in a moving van.

I flew a load with the knight. I didn't have much luggage, so I finished quickly.

“Good work. Have some food on the way. ”

“Oh, thank you. ”

He took a ten-dollar bill, and he liked it and drove away in a mercenary car.

I looked around the living room of the house with no one.

After living in a basement cubicle for a few years, I felt heartbroken when I saw a large living room.

“Wow, you'll be home in no time. ”

Why did I waste my time in that cramped dungeon?

If I had known I was going to die of a heart attack at the age of 29, I would never have lived like that.

I finished moving earlier than I thought, so I had nothing to do.

‘We have to do something. I don't want to waste my time. ’

The break I was given was 11 days.A minute and a second is a waste.

I went to the kitchen and there was a pile of dishes in the sink. Seeing that, I smiled in relief.

“I knew this would happen. ”

My mom and sister were busy working, so I was working on my sister's chores locally.

But the local fourth grader of college this year. Moreover, it was not of a sincere nature, so it was a mess in the house.

‘Now I have to be the one to do it. ’

I rolled up my sleeves and did the dishes. I took out the cleaner after I got rid of it.

There's an animosity, right? ’

“Silf.”

Meow.

Silf appears and rises above my head. It's so cute to rub my head with a soft tail.

“Sylph, can your wind bring all the dust from your house to one place? ”

Meow.

Silf nods.

Soon, a stream of breeze stirs up the house and starts spinning.

Wheeing...

Under the couch, behind the TV, under the bed, on the dresser, etc. Every corner of the house was frozen in front of me.

“Ugh, look at the dust. ”

Almost a lump of dust clumped around my head. It was the result of collecting all the dust that was present in the house.

My hair was not a joke because I thought it was a house where three women live. Oh, gross.

Mmmm.

Silf wags its tail on a lump of dust. He looks up at me with his sparkling eyes, asking me if I did well.

“Thank you, Sylph. That was really good.”

Meow.

Silf smashed my face on my cheek. Oh, I think I know why people have cats.

The Silf's work ended too early in cleaning the house. What do we do now?

‘Should I exercise for a second test? ’

Exercising for just 11 days won't change much, but it's better than not doing it. Just in time, there was a mountain hike near Joe, so it seemed like a good exercise.

The first test site was also a mountain forest. In the future, there might be more to fight in the forest or mountain terrain.

If you climb every day, you will get used to the mountain and gain some health.

I left the house in sneakers on my reasoning.

When I arrived at the entrance of Taejo Mountain, I dared to take the longest one-hour and 50-minute course. I decided to complete this course every day in the future.

Shortly after climbing the mountain path, my breath became heavy and my footsteps became heavy.

I've never been on an easy course before. ’

I felt weak for a moment, but soon I shook my head and held my heart.

‘Let's not whine. It's a matter of life. You have to endure the hardship. ’

It was strange.

I had a clear goal for the first time, who had lived without any purpose.

Test, Arena, Survive!

It was an incredible driving force.

When I reached the summit of Tai Minh Mountain, I was breathless and panting, and my elderly people looked at me on the mountain trail. Nevertheless, I kept on walking.

I was dizzy and vomiting, but I took a persistent step.

He's still in his 20s. If you can't climb a course like this without rest, you're a man.

‘No one is going to save me. I have to struggle desperately. ’

I reached the top after exhaustion.

The landscape of Cheonan is at a glance. I feel better inside. The cool breeze cools my sweat.

I was tired of my body and mind, but it was so much better. I've never poured everything out before.

"Poor bastard. ’

I reflected on my past life.

I hated myself for not even trying to climb a mountain once.

"I forgive you for once. Let's not live like that anymore, Kim Hyun-ho. ’

After making a commitment again, I went down the road and returned home.
