Relife Player 109
[Chapter 043]
[The difference between humans and monsters]
The man has been feeling unwell for several days.
When I tried to eat something, my stomach felt uncomfortable, and when I tried to fall asleep, my head throbbed.
There were times when I lost my mind.
Every time I came to my senses and confirmed that I was walking on the side of a road I didn’t know where I was, I was scared to the point of giving goosebumps.
…have you been working too hard these days?
The man barely lived by carrying construction materials.
Although he was living in a slum, he was able to take pride in living diligently and not stealing other people’s property.
Actually, I didn’t have the courage or strength to steal the property.
If I had, I would have lived comfortably stealing other people’s property.
The man turned his back on that fact and from time to time boasted that he was living a life without shame.
That’s right, I just worked too hard. People sometimes have to play too. Because I only work like an idiot…
Actually, the man knew.
That the pain I’ve been through for days doesn’t originate from what a man does.
The man was often scolded by the director for being lazy at the construction site.
It was like that that day too.
The man who got off work after being scolded by the director until late was walking down an alleyway leading into a slum.
It’s this way! Ranger! Stick this way! He’s going into the ghetto! Stop them from entering! No damage should happen!
I could hear people shouting and shouting between the buildings.
The man said it had nothing to do with him and went on the road drinking the bottle of soju he bought at the convenience store.
Then, he encountered a monster that fell from the sky.
The 7th tier monster Mosquito Fly.
As the name suggests, the monster in the form of a mixture of a fly and a mosquito watched itself while moving its red eyes the size of a human head.
…!!
It was an instant for the monster to pierce the shoulder with its thin needle.
No sound came out.
It happened so suddenly that it took me a while to figure out what had happened.
When the monster turned around, it lost strength and fell to the floor.
There it is! chase!
leader! This person was lying down at the scene of the incident. What should I do? I must have been drunk and passed out You look fine. What? Still, doing it according to the manual…
Ha yeah. Let’s move to the hospital first.
That day, the Marronnier Knights players somehow managed to subdue Mosgito Fly, who had fled to the slums.
The man woke up in the hospital emergency room and went through the procedure for discharge as no visible trauma was found.
But the man remembered.
That Mosgito Fly stabbed him in the shoulder.
…as expected.
was it a dream
It couldn’t have been a dream.
There were no marks left on his shoulder, but the pain he felt was real.
From then on, it seemed that his condition had deteriorated.
But I didn’t have the courage to go to the hospital.
It was scary. I’m afraid I’ll hear something that couldn’t be the case in the hospital.
It was difficult to afford the exorbitant hospital bills.
Again, the man was a body that barely lived on a daily wage.
…Why are you here now? Mana condensation is a fairly advanced state.
I could no longer bear the pain that was increasing day by day.
One day, while washing my face, I was surprised to see a huge fly reflected in the mirror.
When he dreamed, he dreamed of himself being transformed into a fly.
It was horror.
I couldn’t stand it and had to go to the hospital.
And the doctor, in a serious tone, made the diagnosis the man had denied he could have.
Mana Concentration.
A symptom in which mana in the body accumulates beyond what the body allows.
Detailed results need to be closely examined, but in my opinion, it seems dangerous enough to cause a mana runaway at any time.
You have to be admitted to the hospital and receive treatment while watching the progress.
The doctor’s advice was not properly heard.
The man did not know how he got out of the hospital. I remember that I ran away without paying the hospital bills with the vague excuse of bringing my belongings.
no. no it can’t be like this
He couldn’t believe that he had mana condensation because he didn’t have the money to pay for hospitalization and his body’s mana was below average for adults.
The man wiped his face with his hand.
And saw.
Hee!
That his hand had become the hand of a fly with sparsely grown black hairs.
no no.
this is fantasy
i’m tired now
The man repeated himself and shook his head.
The hand was back to normal.
Then, my vision flickered.
What is this….
The same scene was split into multiple pieces in my field of vision.
I felt like my eyes popped out.
As I fumbled with my hand, the fly’s arm came into view again.
no. This shouldn’t happen.
The man took a slide phone out of his pocket.
The slide phone contained the head of a fly.
hee hee hee!!
I dropped my slide phone.
I ran without even thinking about picking it up.
no no. It can’t be like this!
The man repeated several times.
I ran out of breath. The hand that came and went at the end of the field of view sometimes looked like a fly’s hand, sometimes a human hand.
My stomach was simmering. I thought I was going to vomit, but the vomit didn’t come out.
My head was pounding.
My eyes were sore. I felt my eyes expand as if they were about to pop out.
It’s all because of the mood.
The man denied his situation, running at an incredible speed for a human being.
Heh heh…
I was out of breath. The man who was running nonstop put his hands on his knees and gasped for breath.
His physical condition was at its worst. I couldn’t say it at all.
-Are you okay, Mister?
At that time, a certain boy came into the shade he created.
A child with a swimming bag in her hand was looking up with a worried face.
The man was about to speak.
It’s okay.
But the words that came out of the man’s mouth were different words.
Oh, don’t come….
A sensation of something boiling inside and swelling up flooded my entire body.
☆
Oh, it’s hot. Do you want to go eat our ice cream? yes good!
Chansung~
It was the day the heat wave warning was issued.
The heat that seemed to melt the body surged, and a haze rose on the street without shade.
Eunhyuk, who was sweating and fanning himself with his clothes, pointed to the supermarket in front of him.
The children ran to the supermarket without saying who came first.
Hayang stepped on the overturned plastic box and rummaged through the ice cream.
Ha I guess I’ll live now
Won’t it be too late?
are you okay. won’t be late
Wearing a straw hat, Seona checked her watch while eating ice cream.
It was summer vacation.
The children promised to meet at the Olympic Memorial Residence Hall, intending to play all day in the pool.
Hyun-yul and alchemy duo decided to come as soon as they finished school, and the rest of the children decided to gather at the appointed time.
Seo-na, who helped work at Happiness during vacations, was on her way to the swimming pool with Eun-hyuk, whom she met while walking on the road with Hayang.
ice cream is cool!
While Seo-na was worried about the time, Hayang was sitting on the bench and swaying her feet that couldn’t touch the floor, tasting yogurt ice cream.
The same goes for Eunhyuk. Leaning back on the backrest, I was enjoying Papico.
no way! I don’t know either.
Senna decided to do the same.
Leaving herself on the backrest, she brought the tank boy to her mouth and pressed it with her fingers.
The swimming pool is right in front of you, so you won’t be late.
It’s too hot for Bonama and the captain, so he’ll be late because he’s eating ice cream on the way?
Eunha is not the slowest.
Is Minji still there? Minji will bring Eunha well.
Jung Ha-yang, I wonder if you don’t know yet…
Choi Eun-hyeok clicks his tongue as he aims at the papico he was holding in his mouth.
Don’t you know that among us, Minji reveals what to eat the most?
Then he lowered his voice to say that he should not enter.
Yeah, I’ll tell Minji.
Tsk tsk Minji is not a glutton.
Seona held the tank boy in her mouth and kneaded the ice cream as if she knew that. He moved his fingers vigorously, fixing the tank boy with his small fangs.
Hayang held out an ice cream stick and clicked his tongue, just like Eunhyuk did. The look was really messy.
Anyway, even if it’s a little late, it’ll be fine.
If it’s a galaxy, it might be too late.
My dad said that a person who keeps his promises is a good person….
It was a time when the kids were chilling out and chatting.
The children who tried to get up found a man gasping for breath under the scorching sun.
Don’t you think that man is sick?
Even from a distance, the man’s condition was strange.
Doesn’t he scream while catching his breath? Doesn’t he clutch his chest with his hands as if he’s feeling so stuffy?
Did you eat the heat? Do you feel like you’re about to fall? I’ll come see you. Oh Eunhyuk, don’t go!
Something is strange.
Hayang felt the mana flowing from the man and felt an unpleasant sensation.
Words couldn’t explain it, but the man’s mana was jagged.
It felt like the man’s mana was changing moment by moment.
The mana in his body was shaking as if he didn’t know when it would explode.
It didn’t seem like the other kids felt it, but she could.
Dangerous.
You shouldn’t go.
However, Eunhyuk had already approached to check on the man’s condition.
I can’t, I can’t go.
Hey, what’s wrong?
I don’t know, but I don’t think I should go. no you can’t go
Seo-na tried to calm Hayang, who was suddenly anxious.
However, as she shook her head, she couldn’t take her eyes off the mana flowing from her.
It was also strange.
Mana rapidly expanded and contracted repeatedly, and conflicting information was being delivered as if the ego had been split
.
Seo Na-ya, Eun-hyuk has to bring them. … okay. i’ll bring it Will that work?
Seeing her trembling with anxiety, Seo-na had a hunch that something unusual was happening.
With her triangular ears sticking out of her straw hat, she stepped towards the man Eunhyuk was trying to help.
On the other hand, Eunhyuk——
Are you okay, Mister?
condition was not serious.
The man was sweating profusely.
Eunhyuk took out the water he had put in his swimming bag. It was lukewarm water, but it seemed necessary for a man who seemed to be exhausted at any moment.
Oh don’t come….
Yes?
Eunhyuk looked up at the man with veins growing around his eyes and tilted his head.
Oh don’t come!
The man threw the plastic bottle away.
The capped plastic bottle dripped with water and fell.
Uncle, you look very sick. Are you really okay?
Eunhyuk didn’t get angry at the man’s behavior either.
Because the man looked very critical.
I felt like I had to take her to the hospital right away.
I moved closer to support the man.
Inside…
the man’s pronunciation leaked.
It was only then that Eunhyuk felt something and hesitated.
In this way… Come on….
The pronunciation was muffled.
A buzz rang out.
mister…?
Eunhyuk looked up at the man and froze.
A man who suddenly discharged enough mana in his body to the extent that he could see it.
The man’s body began to expand rapidly, tearing his clothes and being covered in enlarged flesh.
Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, the sound
of
blowing
vuvuzela echoed from the flesh wriggling like boiling maggots.
what what
Eunhyuk took a step back.
With a lump of flesh that can no longer be called a human being in front of me. The
fleshy
house exploded.
Even though Eunhyuk had blood on his head, he was not surprised and watched what was happening in front of him.
A monster reminiscent of an insect emerges from the flesh.
It has sparsely haired legs and protruding eyeballs on both sides of its head, as if wearing a helmet.
What is this!
I barely moved my body.
At that time, a monster that seemed to have already mixed a fly and a mosquito was aiming for him.
☆
The power to make the heart beat even with a very small amount of mana.
All living things have mana inside them.
In the end, the only condition for living things is whether or not they have mana in their bodies.
However, each creature with a different body mana has a different amount of mana that the body can tolerate, so-called vessels.
If you accumulate mana that can’t be contained in a container——
again, even a tiny amount of mana is the power to make your heart beat.
The power to make living things into living things and humans to be human is sometimes incompatible with the power to make people escape the realm of existence.
——It must be a monster that deviated from the concept of being human.
