Chapter 1: Previous Life
Prologue.
Is there anyone here who doesnt like money?
First of all, I like it.
Whether on Earth or in my hometown, money has always been a magical thing.
People die without money. So I worked hard to earn money.
That was all I did.
Please say something!
Im YTV reporter Lee Jiyoung. Is it true that you cleared the A-Class gate by yourself in the past?
Reporters, its dangerous, so please dont push inside!
However, after earning money like crazy, fame caught up with me at some point.
Property is proof of success.
Thats why modern people always want to hear the secret of success.
Rumor has it that you took down an S-rank hunter during the last Dungeon Break incident. As expected, did you perhaps control or conceal your awakening hidden potential to achieve that feat?
Why did you cheat on your rank in the Awakening Test?
Please answer!
I glanced over at the reporters who had gathered.
Whats mixed in their eyes is anticipation, jealousy, and curiosity. Its all good.
But
I have a little secret.
With the appearance of a new high-ranking Awakener, the expectations for national security are rising. Do you have any plans for the future?
Actually, it was a mere coincidence that I made money from this damn hunter job.
Its not because I have the ability, as the people gathered here think A combination of luck and a few bluffs brought me to this position.
Yeah.
In a word, Im X-Bab. (T/n: Its x but actually the meaning is someone who lacks intelligence, ability or skills.)
So I dont know what most of the reporters are asking now.
Plans? Do I have plans?
I wanted to clear up the misunderstanding if I had a chance.
But now I know.
Too many things have already happened that cant be changed.
Would things have turned out this way if I had a plan?
Yes?
Ah, not this. Yeah, so what am I going to do in the future?
Now, what would happen if it were revealed that I was at the same level as F-Class?
First of all, the S-Class, which was falsely accused of getting beaten by me, will blow my head off, right?
The one who entered the gate once and became an enemy, what kind of No. 1 guy would really leave me alone?
Hmm.
However, even if its the people who misunderstand, its the same thing that hunters do.
No comment.
I thought of various futures and eventually said something.
As soon as the answer falls, the sound of the shutters pours in again.
Reporters asked several questions after that, but couldnt get meaningful answers.
Whatever the article says tomorrow, its ruined.
Im not going to comment, you mammals.
It turns out that Im a strong man whos been hiding his power!
Then it turns out to be a waste of rank ability!
I wont live long on this rotten planet.
By the time the reporters cameras strobe keeps flashing.
I closed my eyelids tightly and was lost in memories of the past.
Where did the new life that started hopefully go wrong? Because I wanted to point out the cause for a moment.
****
I was a resident of a binary system until recently.
This planet called Alphauri was my hometown, and I played a very big role in it.
But is that position important now? The most important point is that I came up with this thought at some point.
[I should quit this shitty job.]
Do you know how Im treated while I live here?
This work is treated as a kind of community service, so even if I work myself to death, I wont get paid. However, I go to work 640 days a year without a holiday, and because I dont need sleep due to technological developments, I work overtime like Im breathing.
[Damn it.]
Of course, curses come out.
Anyway,
I decided to quit my job.
However, several problems came up ahead of my resignation.
First of all, this is not a job you can quit at will. High-ranking people put restrictions on them so that they couldnt run away from their work.
The moment you try teleportation magic, you get an electric shock in your brain.
Even if they succeeded in leaving the workplace. Theyre in a situation where there is no place to hide because all parts of the planet are already in the hands of the rulers.
I wonder how it would be if I killed my boss.
Because I can never, ever harm people from the same planet.
[Even suicide is difficult because that range includes yourself.]
I considered resigning again and again.
And in this process, I carefully observed that my hometowns magic technology couldnt deal with souls yet.
[Yeah. Lets see. No matter how much magic technology has developed, no one has ever interpreted the soul. It goes without saying that you couldnt cast magic on a concept with a composition you didnt even know.]
According to this logic, my restrictions, strictly speaking, belong to the coordinates of the body
Then I was able to come to one conclusion after thinking that far.
[Then, can my soul escape freely?]
Its been exactly 10 years since that idea.
Only after 10 years have passed.
A realm that no one has reached in the end even in the sharply developed magic civilization.
Soul Manipulation
I finally completed this one-of-kind magic.
With the determination to quit my job, I made a plan to settle my soul on a distant planet so that they couldnt chase after me.
Kugh,ugh.
After that, I gritted my teeth and looked for a way to get out of the building.
I will look for wild food as soon as I go outside.
Since I revived the organs with reincarnation magic, my digestive power must have come back a bit. All I have to do is put anything into my stomach.
Anyway, why is this body so hard to move?
Ive definitely absorbed the way of walking, but my legs feel extremely heavy.
But fortunately, it was not long before I went outside,
I couldnt hide how surprised I was when I saw the first scenery of this planet.
Light?
Since most of the surface was water, the starlight didnt reach well, making the scenery of my hometown dark and blue.
And the warm, dry environment here is the exact opposite of that.
The dazzling appearance I saw for the first time briefly overwhelmed me. But there is no time for sentimentality. But there is no time for sentimentality.
Ah, not at a time like this.
The extreme hunger poked my stomach, and now I have no choice but to find wild animals and anything I could put in my mouth.
Argh!
But after a few minutes, I was faced with a hopeless situation.
Theres nothing to eat.
Nowhere!
What the hell!
Shockingly, this place was paved in gray everywhere.
No animals can be seen on the flat road, and it is difficult to find even traces of insects or plants.
It was just a line of colorful scrap metal on four wheels.
What kind of planet is here! This is why the owner starved to death!
Reduced green space due to rapid urbanization
Such a sentence suddenly came to mind, but there was no time to interpret it.
Ugh.
I lost my strength and crawled on the ground.
As I lowered my posture, I finally found an insect near the tire, but
Its too small, but will this really help?
I think it will take more energy to digest.
It was a moment when I was contemplating whether or not to eat the insects I found. In the distance, something appeared in a crooked alley.
Milky apricot skin, bipedal walking, and a blue hat.
Its the same race.
I recognized at once that he was a resident of the earth.
The person who appeared was short enough to barely reach the side mirror of a parked car.
It looks like a child.
Children.
Words that refer to the other person naturally come to mind.
But thats also for a while.
I paused and looked at the object the child was holding.
He held a soft plastic bag in his hand, and then he squeezed the orange solid inside the bag to dissolve it and eat it.
Ugh.
What is that?
Thats what hell eat.
Besides, when I thought it was quite delicious I couldnt take my eyes off it.
.?
Did he notice my gaze?
The child, who was passing by, kept looking sideways a few times, and then all of a sudden he sped up.
Did he consider me a strange person? He passed the street corner quickly.
Should I go and steal it now?
That was around the time I thought about not having an animal.
I found a new way while I was secretly following behind the child.
Thankfully, there were tall trees and small flowers along this winding road.
Plant!
But, somehow those plants dont seem to be edible.
I feel like Im doing something very wrong right now
Unfortunately, there is no choice as long as the memory is incomplete.
I thought this was better than stealing other peoples food, and eventually took a step forward to collect unknown plants.
At that moment,
Boom!
There was a strange roar.
It was the sound from the alley where the child went back.
Hmm?
I turned my head. Then, I directly checked the place where the roar was heard.
Paying attention to danger signals is a common feature of animals.
Kyaaak!
As I entered the alley in question, the strange sound rang once again.
Kyaaaak!
This cry is not the scream of a child who went into an alley.
Then who would have screamed?
If I look closely, its not a person.
Its a huge red wing.
With black, shiny eyes.
And something with a long pointed yellow beak.
Its a bird?
Kyaaak!
So to sum it up.
Today, I was reincarnated on a planet called Earth where I could encounter a monster bird the size of a house on the street.
Damn it.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
