Possessing Nothing

During the day, Lee Sung-min practiced spearing in the backyard, and only at night did he enter the house. Although it was not cleaned, it was a little dusty, but there was no big problem because it was cleaned roughly.

I had a kitchen, but didn't make meals. Because there was something to eat in the subspace pocket. After eating, I ran a self-organizing ball.

As he entered the underworld, he naturally thought of fighting Ogres. The first time I've ever been downhill in my entire life, or in my entire life, fighting as a master.

I felt a lot. I could feel the discordance. Familiarity was the biggest problem. After three years in the mountains, Lee Sung-min's body became accustomed to gold. Thanks to this, I felt inconsistent with the disappearance of the gold, and I felt inconsistent again with the current difference from the time when I was not the greatest master.

Get used to it.

There were many problems. Lee Sung-min's body is now very unbalanced. I tried to balance my nutrition in the mountains once, but eating in golden tastes was always terrible. Eating reduced naturally.

It's not just a meal. I haven't slept in a long, long time. Almost two years. The three senses did not develop so much as the sense of smell, hearing and vision were prohibited. Only the sensation of skin developed abnormally.

It wasn't just a drawback. All other senses have been blocked and new senses have developed that do not exist.

Six senses.

It existed as a skill in Lee's state of mind.

Instinct.

You can feel something you can't smell with your nose, invisible to the eye, deaf to the ear.

The sixth sense, which is a passive skill, was vague in its description, as was the other passive skill. But what I was feeling was real. Even if the description felt vague, the sixth sense was real.

‘But you can't rely on your senses and your senses. ’

There was a need to train other senses. Although not until training, the imbalance of the senses had to be balanced.

The jigsaw continued to operate and the internal air revolved. In the Gorn breath, Lee Sung-min's thoughts gradually disappeared. Suddenly, he drove away and put his consciousness to sleep. It was thanks to my mind cleaning magic and my self-help that I was able to hold on to the damaged spirit in the mountain.

The next day.

Lee went to the mercenary guild early in the morning. It was because I thought that after a day it would be a Rank Loss. I was going to check the quest for the Mercenary Guild after receiving the Rank Hand.

The Beggar Mercenary Guild has been crowded since morning. It was the mercenaries who came for breakfast or the mercenaries who had been drinking since the day before. The moment Lee Sung-min opened the door, the commotion among the mercenaries ceased. They looked at Lee Sung-min as they entered the door, and they began to mutter among themselves.

Lee Sung-min has become a famous member of the Behenger Mercenary Guild. He showed his sword in front of everyone on the day he joined, and after that he outperformed the class S by defeating the ogre chimera. Moreover, since he was still 18 years old, it was natural for other mercenaries to be interested in him.

“Hello?”

Bern was over the bar table early this morning. Bern puts his hand in his pocket while talking to the approaching Lee Sung-min.

“Good timing. Your mercenary defeat is here. ”

“I'm here to receive it. ”

Lee said with a smile. The mercenary who was handed over to Bern had the letter S branded in gold. While touching the mercenary, Lee remembered the mercenary he had in his previous life.

‘At that time it was written in copper. ’

Bern opens his mouth toward the smiling Lee Sung-min.

“Class S mercenaries are being funded at 5 million Er a month. Enough money to live on. ”

Receive 5 million Er per month without receiving any quests. Class S mercenaries were worthy of existence alone. Even though Eria is vast and summons all sorts of people at every level, it is not uncommon for a master or wizard to be qualified as a Class S mercenary.

“What happened to the body of the ogre chimera? ”

“Huh?"

Bern opened his eyes wide to Lee Sung-min's question. It was a face that Lee Sung-min did not think to ask. Bern shrugs, looking at Lee Sung-min's face for a moment.

“I'm investigating. There's nothing special on the line right now... but there's a good chance the Black Wizard is involved. ”

“You mean there was a Black Wizard around? ”

“Maybe so. In the first place, the forest was no place for Ogres to make their territory. It would make sense for the Black Wizard to make chimeras out of Ogres and release them in the forest. ”

“Why did he do that? ”

“Are you asking for your views as a guild leader? Or is it asking for your view as a wizard? ”

“Both. ”

Lee Sung-min asked Bern this question for a reason. Bern was the Branch Head of the Behenger Mercenary Guild, and was also an accomplished wizard. In Lee Sung-min's question, Bern paused for a moment and said.

“You wanted to test it. ”

“A test...? ”

“I sewed my mouth shut. I stopped them from eating. Ogres are not very savage monsters. You have good reason. I don't raid villages because I'm afraid of subjugation. ”

Ruth's already told me about him. Bern did not become a rational man, but listened to what he saw.

“Starving monsters become very ferocious. Humans are weakened by hunger... but monsters are the opposite. Starving makes you stronger and more violent. You know why? To survive. You have to be stronger and more aggressive to be able to hunt. ”

“So you sewed up the ogre's mouth on purpose? ”

“to create a compulsory hunger. Maybe a few days later, a town would be gone. Or... maybe the Black Wizard recovered the Ogre. ”

I thought Lee Sung-min was the latter. I've never heard of Ogres destroying the town in my past life. Like Bern said. The Black Wizard must have released the ogre into the forest and seen the condition while creating a compulsory hunger.

And he must have recovered it before the accident.

‘It's changed.’

In my past life, the ogre chimera was not subdued. But this time it was subjugated. Wouldn't that work as a variable? Lee Sung-min became concerned about it. Perhaps there is a high chance that the Black Wizard who released the ogre chimera will be the master of the dungeon discovered half a year later.

“Perhaps there was a Black Wizard nearby. You... think you're lucky. If you encounter the Black Wizard, you won't be able to come back alive. ”

“Is that all? ”

“It's enough to defeat monsters called ogres, build them into chimeras, and control them. The Black Wizard has reached a very high level. Then why do they want to know? ”

“I'm just curious. I've never seen a chimera before. ”

Lee Sung-min replied like that and put the mercenaries in his arms.

“Then. I'll see you next time. ”

“W-wait. ”

Bern caught Lee Sung-min trying to turn around. He said with an embarrassing look on his face.

“There's someone who wants to meet you. ”

“Who are you?”

“Xeon. Did you know? ”

Bern asked. In that question, Lee Sung-min's face stiffened. Lee Sung-min shook his head as he tried to relax his firm expression.

“… I don't know. ”

“Of course. I've just become a mercenary. Xeon... is an SS class mercenary. The highest rank of mercenaries registered at the Behenger branch. ”

I know.

Lee Sung-min knew Jeon. SS class mercenary. A quick learner of Shaolin and a master of the law. Corona Mercenary Corps Master.

I don't know.Korona Mercenaries were the mercenaries who used to have Lee Sung-min in their past lives. In other words, Zeon was the leader of the mercenaries who belonged to Lee Sung-min. However, there was no relationship between Lee Sung-min and Jeon. Zeon cares... Lee Sung-min was too small.

Corona Mercenaries is a large mercenary. There are over 100 mercenaries in the unit, and there are five Class S mercenaries under the SS rank of Zeon.

Class C mercenaries became tens of Korona mercenaries. Among them, Lee Sung-min, who was from Noh class, did not have this characteristic, was just a gaze that the top commanders of the Corona Mercenary Corps did not give once. Even though Lee Sung-min has survived the Corona Mercenaries since Class E. Class C mercenaries were just Class C mercenaries in Noh class everywhere.

“It wouldn't be bad to see him. If you're good enough, there 'll be a lot of greedy mercenaries out there. Corona Mercenaries led by Zeon and Zeon are considered to be among the best mercenaries in Behenger. Of course, you won't be staying in Behenger forever. Every Zeon and Korona mercenaries in the city will recognize that name. ”

“... Are you asking me to meet you right now? ”

“They're already waiting inside. ”

Bern grins bitterly.

“I know it's sudden. But…”

“I understand.”

Lee slowly nodded his head.

“Let's meet. ”

The choice is for Lee Sung-min anyway. Refusing here would be embarrassing for Bern. I thought it would be good to meet Zeon once, even for Bern, who has looked after his convenience in many ways.

After all, it's just an excuse.

Lee Sung-min wanted to meet Jeon.

The room was filled with cigarette smoke. Bern's reception room was now a private space in Xeon. Bern, who was coming in through the door, frowns and looks at Xeon.

“Why didn't you open a window? ”

Zeon, who was biting the cigar, shrugged his shoulders beyond the smoke. Lee looked back at Zeon, who was putting the cigar down.

It was my first time with Xeon in this way. I was a member of the Corona mercenaries, but there was no contact between Lee Sung-min and Xeon. I did not encounter Zeon even when Lee Sung-min joined the Corona Mercenary Corps with recruiting support. For the Corona Mercenaries, the human being, Lee Sung-min, is only a position as a worker dedicated to errands and cleaning.

“Sounds good.”

Zeon muttered, looking at Lee Sung-min's face. Zeon was a man who cut his shoulders and hair short. Always... Lee Seong-min saw Jeon from afar. For Lee Sung-min, the mercenary named "Zeon" was a target of admiration.

Zeon is from Noh Class.

Zeon was summoned to Eria 15 years ago. Xeon, who was summoned to the Noh class, accidentally learned the vaccine rights of Shaolin while living in Eria, and went to the main mountain of Shaolin in Eria to be recognized as a shaman and became a fast student of Shaolin. What are the details of the unknown lore? However, Lee Sung-min admired and admired that Jeon was from the same Noh class. I want to be like Xeon someday. I used to think that blurry thought.

“... I'm Lee Sung-min. ”

“Xeon.”

Xeon asked the cigar again.

A long-lost object of admiration sat right in front of Lee Sung-min.
