It was a day when the sun persistently penetrated the skin.

After the monster outbreak, City A has become the place where the majority of the population of Korea resides.

Usually, it is a place where people are crowded, but now it is quiet. This is because the monster alert has already been triggered several times. The hot summer sun was hitting hard as if it claimed that it had driven all the passers-by away.

A huge “flower of monsters” bloomed in the alley. The inside of the flower, which had already bloomed and left only empty shells, was filled with blood. In front of the flower, a monster twice as large as an adult was dead. As soon as it came out of the flower it died.

Gi Do-Hae looked down with his expressionless face reflected in the red puddle. It was unknown whether it was the monster’s blood or the fluid of the flower. Then, he suddenly turned my head, his head hearing the back.

“It’s still alive.”

The monster struggled with twisted limbs. Gi Do-Hae smiled like a flower as he slowly crawled out of the alley with his unique tough vitality.

It makes him feel dirty to see it wiggle like that.

Unlike other Espers, who were wearing a uniform full of blood and stone powder, he was dressed in a neat suit without a drop of blood. With an ascetic, beautiful face and a smile, he looked like a priest who would listen to a confession.

“It’s persistent. It’s annoying.”

“Cough!”

But what happened after he cast his eyes was never benevolent. The esper’s neck from the distance swung back and fell to the ground. The face of the person who was running away with his back was redirected to Gi Do-Hae at once. The wide-open eyes seem to show the pain.

Gi Do-Hae, who was carefully observing the face of the dead, tilted his head with a stuffed smile still shaking.

There is only one S-class Esper in Korea, Gi Do-Hae.

His face was full of smiles, but his eyes were cold. As soon as the monster bloomed from! the flower, he caught and killed the guy who was attacking behind him, but he still felt dirty.

A throbbing headache tormented Gi Do-Hae today. The pain was skillfully hidden, but the hand habitually swept past the tip of the eyebrow.

“…….”

Class A Esper Lee Jae-Chul, who came together to cheer for him, secretly approached him while praying. He firmly swallowed, “You turned his neck bone with psychokinesis, so he looked this way and died.”

He watched everything when he caught and killed Esper in an ambush, but did not dissuade Esper Gi Do-Hae . He had to deal with it late or early anyway. But he looked around and asked. Lee Jae-chul, knew that Gi Do-Hae have a chronic sickness.

“……Does your head hurt a lot?”

“You look annoying to me, so don’t show your face.”

“Oh, my God. All right.”

Lee Jae-Chul, who had been receiving double insults as usual, was surprised and took a step back from Gi Do-Hae. Because it was dangerous to go near Gi Do-Hae when he was in a bad mood like today. At times like this, it was best to leave.

He could really die.

“Hmm. I’m going to ask for a processing team.”

Lee Jae-Chul, who quickly grasped the atmosphere, disappeared in an instant. At this time, it was ridiculous how fast the rugged body with strengthened muscles was.

Watching Lee Jae-Chul run, Gi Do-Hae suddenly frowned.

“Damn it.”

Again. It’s red again.

Gi Do-Hae suffers from chronic lack of guidance and has suffered various side effects from time to time. It’s the most sought after thing his body needs.

In addition to the heat that seemed to hold his breath, he had no choice but to suffer from a strong desire to twist everything in front of him right away.

He tried to find a cure, but to no avail. This is because he quickly realized that he was the only one suffering from these side effects. Of course, he hid his weakness. He didn’t know what extraordinary attack he would face if it was known that it was difficult to distinguish colors when he was suffering from guiding deficiency.

The red-colored scenery clearly showed the monster blooming while swallowing everything.

Eliminating them is an Esper’s only goal. It was the blooming flowers that birth all the monsters. Monsters that painted the world red.

Twenty-five years ago, strange flowers suddenly grew all over the world.

The flower, which was initially smaller than a human palm, grew slowly over several hours at the earliest and several days at the longest.

Soon, the buds became huge, several times the size of a human body.

Because of the overall shape, it is called a flower, but the shape was strange. The texture was like human skin, and the color was a rusty red with blood covered, with the smell of rotten bodies.

The surface of the tightly closed buds makes a growling sound, showing how greedy it is.

The whole flower showed off its ominous wriggling presence according to the pulse of the blood.

Even if it doesn’t have this strange characteristic that cannot be touched directly before flowering, people were wary of this flower. Of course, despite the heightened vigilance, everything became useless as soon as monsters popped out of the blooming flowers.

Gi Do-Hae cast its eyes at the bottom of the bud, cursing the view that was colored like a monster’s petal. The firmly rooted flower was again devouring nutrients from the ground. Even after the monster that will take nutrients in it has already died. Because of this appearance, people used to say that there it was a cancer cell monster in earth.

But isn’t the cancer cell the humans?

Sometimes he thought of this. Rather, this monster phenomenon may be the Earth’s last act to remove cancer cells called humans.

Therefore, it was clear that Esper was cursed even more. Like this view. Thinking about it like that, the smell of blood seemed to be stronger.

“See? You said there was an alarm here, didn’t you?”

Humans eventually adapted, and the population, which had fallen by nearly half during the Monster Crisis, was slowly recovering. Humans who multiply again like cancer cells have now forgotten the fear of that time.

Now that gate warnings have become a daily routine, they can walk around the monster flower calmly.

“Wow, damn it. Look over there.”

“Crazy. Is it an Esper who’s behind you?”

They don’t know how they crawled into the controlled scene, but the two men were really at ease. They thought they were whispering a long way away, but Gi Do-Hae can clearly hear them. Hearing was also bound to become abnormally sensitive on days when his vision was red.

“Let’s take a picture.”

One pedestrian who had no talent to feel bravely said. Even the sound of searching through the pockets dug into the eardrum too deeply.

He felt the camera’s lens slowly pointing toward him clearly. He even had the illusion that an abnormally long and prosperous thorn popped out of there and stabbed him in the neck.

Since Monster’s eyeballs did not give such unpleasantness, Gi Do-Hae cast an exact gaze toward them and released his ability to Esper.

“Wow, I have to post it on the Internet…… What!”

His power, psychokinesis, hit the cell phone that the man was holding hard. The cell phone’s LCD that fell on the hard asphalt was completely smashed. The edge of the cell phone has also been slightly distorted due to the lack of control of the power.

“Uh, uh, um…Power….”

The curious appearance was nowhere to be seen, and when the unknown power was directed at them, the two passers-by became contemplative and looked. Gi Do-Hae was already walking towards them with a big smile. His feet were sticky with blood that he didn’t know belonged to.

“…….”

“Don’t you know this place is closed?”

“…….”

“…….”

It was definitely far away, but the two closed their mouths as if they had made a promise when they saw Gi Do-Hae approaching a step forward in no time. Unlike Gi Do-Hae’s expressopn, who smiled splendidly, the way he spoke was fierce.

“Give me an answer.”

The two froze as soon as their eyes met his. They felt strangely numb even with Gi Do-Hae’s polite way of speaking. They faced the crushing atmosphere of Gi Do-Hae, which was familiar to the media and they sweated strangely.

It’s as if a monster is in front of you.

Gi Do-Hae that had been smiling the whole time turned into a creepy, expressionless face. His already broken vision annoyed him and ate his patience. There was an urge to twist necks of the the dumb humans.

“Did you get a monster toenail in your ear?””

“……heek.”

One of the men in front of Gi Do-Hae sank to the floor when he even stopped using honorifics, which he had always been suspiciously sticking to.

“Now, now, now, wait!”

Esper Lee Jae-Chul Esper, who came to see Gi Do-Hae after calling the processing team, rushed to see the situation.

Even from afar, he could clearly hear the change of Gi Do-Hae’s tone changing. This was not good. It was the worst situation among the evidence that he is getting angry.

I made a mistake of translating 기도해 to Gido Hae instead of Gi Do-Hae. I’m sorry, I’ll focus on updating all the chapters.

0% sunlight

Lee Jae-Chul prayed for his life and dug into the front, fearing that South Korea’s only S-class Esper would brutally kill civilians.

“Gi Do-Hae! We’re done with our work. Let’s go now.”

He almost chewed my tongue while talking in a hurry. He is nervously calculating how many times he could endure if his power was directed at him. Even though the midsummer heat was squeezing out moisture from the whole body,he felt cold in this situatio.

“Come on, guys. Go home. You can’t come in here when the alarm is up!”

At Lee Jae-Chul’s words, the two ran away as if they were waiting. Naturally, when the eyes of the Gi Do-Hae were directed at the two, Lee Jae-chul was again stunned and blocked in front of them.

So that he can block the eyes of the Gi Do-Hae.

“Don’t they are civilians…….”

“Who’s going to kill them,you?”

“No.”

He just wanted to tell him not to touch them, but he got goosebumps when he heard the answer that he didn’t want to kill them naturally. However, Lee Jae-chul answered calmly at this moment.

He felt fortunate that the damn hateful honorifics came back.

Gi Do-Hae looked down at Lee Jae-Chul as if judging him. He ignored his assumptions of him thinking he would attack civilians for no reason

“Why are you procrastinating?”

Lee Jae-Chul was angry again at the words of Gi Do-Hae, which seemed to be dragging his feet, but he endured it.

Lee Jae-Chul lamented that he had to take charge of the mess done by Gi Do-Hae every time. But he couldn’t quit, so he was just frustrated.

“……Yes, let’s go.”

He quickly took the lead and headed toward the car.

He thought he should contact the guide association in advance. This is because of Gi Do-Hae’s condition today, he felt like he had to get a guide right away.

In addition, he also vowed to tell people around him that he was uncomfortable. Because people wanted him to keep stuck next to him.

A few hours before Gi Do-Hae dealt with the monster.

Kim San decided to cry just one last time before leaving the village.

As soon as he thought about it, thick tears flowed down. The heavy tears that fell quickly soaked the portrait of his grandfather.

“Grandpa. Uh, I miss you.”

It was a tear that had gathered in his heart without realizing it, but it took an instant to dry them. Kim San, who was crying sadly, calmed down by rubbing his red eyes. He has been crying hard, so it’ll take some time for tears to fill his heart again.

It’s already been a month since his grandfather’s funeral. It wasn’t enough to heal the pain, but it was a delicate time when you couldn’t just cry.

Is it to show everyone how strong you are? Grandfather always had a stern face. Even in the portrait photos that he had taken of Kim San without him even knowing.

Perhaps the grandfather was stubborn and touggh so that when his grandson became alone, he could easily think the tough him..

Kim-san hasn’t fully understood it yet, but he have been stubbornly protecting Kim-san in his own way.

“Grandpa, I’m sorry to worry you.”

But now Kim San had to stand alone. He needs to go to the city that his grandfather hated.

“But I’ll live happily.”

Kim San, who was making eye contact with his grandfather again, put the picture back in place. He was the first person he would see when he entered the house.

“Well, I’ll be back.”

He deliberately gave out a courageous voice. That was his grandfather’s will.

He didn’t learn from my grandfather to procrastinate. So, Kim San turned around and left the house again this time. There were only a few simple clothes and daily necessities in the bag on his back. In the first place, this out-of-town life was far from being able to have many things.

When he came outside, the dull summer sun penetrated his skin pleasantly. He was used to getting sweaty. Electricity was sometimes cut off, and it was common in this hot summer.

“It’s hot.”

25 years ago. The world has changed dramatically.

The monster’s flower, which suddenly appeared in the world, spread to the ground like a virus. The scientific knowledge and weapons that mankind has accumulated have unfortunately been helpless for monsters who follow this strange unique law.

People struggling to survive somehow soon noticed. That the terrible flower would appear in a particularly crowded people.

When it was proved by several experiments, the mass migration of people began. The population, which had been concentrated in the metropolitan area, began to disperse.

It was the Espers who saved the people who were destined to wander around away from each other forever.

The Espers, who began to awaken at one point, each had a strange power. And that power was a very good weapon in combating monsters.

People began to unite around the slowly increasing Esper. Unfortunately, walking around in a small number did not mean that there was a 0% chance of encountering a monster.

People then soon realize that the mortality rate itself has not changed much before when they were from living together in the city. The monster has led to a sharp drop in crimes. The population that was victimized by serious crimes was now victimized by monsters. It was all thanks to Esper, who rose to an appropriate number.

The mass migration of people began again. This time, not to disperse by ostracizing each other, but to unite properly.

Having calculated the number of people as many as the Espers could handle, they followed the trail of existing civilization and properly dug up the city. Due to the urgent situation, people could take a breather even though it was a bad name like A, B, and C.

Since it was a city built around Esper, administrative power was no longer fully reached outside the city where the Espers did not reside. In particular, support for mountains and rural villages that were not appropriate for the city to be built was almost cut off. In recent years, when the Esper-Guide system was stable, it was still better than before, but mountain life was still harsher than in the pre-Monster era.

Because of Korea’s mountainous eaa that could not be secured sufficiently. Therefore, monsters appeared slightly more frequently than other countries.

Those digging into the mountains thought this distance was beneficial enough to bear the inconvenience that administrative power could not reach.

As the gathered people gathered together, and as the people who left the place forced to endure inconvenience as they left, life began.

And things were different for each person. Urban life was not an option, especially for the elderly who lost their daughter to the monster disaster in the city. Enough to decide to raise a baby in a rural village where there is not enough supplies.

“Sigh.”

When he thought of his grandfather who raised him while suffering in this remote area, Kim San felt emotional again. However, he raised his head on purpose, pressing down firmly on his emotions for a long time like a snowball fight with the sun

Now she shouldn’t conform to this grandfather’s stubbornness and go to the city.

His grandfather’s will was short and blunt. But Kim-san knew how warm and affectionate it is.

Kim San, who was well emotionally adjusted the back floor and yard of the house. It was a necessary task to prevent too much dust from accumulating because he didn’t know when I would come back.

His body was wet with sweat while he was moving for a while, but it was still bearable heat today. Only then did Kim San, stretched out his waist and headed to the rusty gate.

Cicadas also cried in the trees in the yard. While not knowing the feelings of the person leaving.

“Are you really going?”

“Yes.”

When he left the gate, Kim San’s friend, Lee Hye-Min, was leaning against the wall. It must have been quite hot, but he seemed to be considerate of Kim San, who said goodbye to his grandfather.

After casually handing over the lunch box in his hand, he hesitated and asked again.

“Do you have to go?”

Lee Hye-Min also knew his grandfather’s will. In this neighborhood where there were few people of their age, the two were best friends.

“Yes.”

Kim San replied stubbornly, although he knew the concern. He had to go to the city and know why his mom had to disappear like that.

Kim San’s mother was a guide. And she disappeared from her last mission before she managed to reunite with his family. They said that she had retired as a guide who was then only allowed to marry and give birth to Kim San.

His sad was searching for his mother and slowly dried up. When Kim San turned five years old, he missed his mother so much and passed away like dew on a summer day.

He hadn’t askied this question in front of his grandfather. He grew up early enough to know that his grandfather was worried about his daughter.

So he was surprised when my grandfather left a will like that. He thought that he already knew everything.

I’m excited for Kim San to meet Gi Do-Hae. I’m not sure if I should call it Monster’s flower or Flower of the Monster, but decided to use Monster’s flower.

0% sunlight

“Yes.”

Looking at his father, who was drying up like a flower that lost nutrients, young Kim San felt a certain question sprouting in his mind. In the end, it was a question that became inseparable when his father turned his back on the world first and his grandfather’s overprotection became severe.

However, as this question grew bigger, Kim San did not know what emotion was eroding his mind. He just believes that if he solves the question, he will know it naturally.

So he’s about to go a long way. He wasn’t going to come back until then.

“Take care of the house for me.”

Looking at Kim San, Lee Hye-Min could not hide his confusion.

Kim San, who even clenched his fist as if he had made a big decision, was not reliable. The city is so harsh that even if he just blinked, a monster could cut off his nose, but he was so soft that he couldn’t tell his friend. A friend going to the city for the first time.

In addition, when he thought of his grandfather’s unusual home education, his worries grew even more. No matter how far outside the city, it will be hard to find someone as naive as Kim San in the world.

“Don’t worry, go ahead.”

However, Lee Hye-Min had to send Kim-san because he knows what Kim San has been feeling since he was young.

“…….”

“Are you okay? Let’s go and guide…….”

“Mouth.”

“What?”

“Shut it up.”

“…….”

Symptoms of red vision is eating up Gi Do-Hae’s spirit.

He doesn’t know the existence of this deficiency, but Lee Jae-Chul hurriedly drove the car toward the guide center with his mouth closed. This is because he guessed that the condition of Gi Do-Hae was getting worse.

Although the purpose of an Esper is for peace, Lee Jae-chul could not help feeling like he was going to be terrorize with a time bomb with the person on the passenger seat.

“……Ha.”

Lee Jae-Chul’s palms became wet to the point where his skin felt numb from the side. He was more nervous than when he was dealing with monsters. The runaway Esper loses his head and destroys everything around him, until they die.

And so far, there have been no cases of S-class runaway.

Because he didn’t want to be the first victim, Lee Jae-Chul drive desperately to reach the guide center.

“A guide, did you prepare it?”

“Yes.”

Unlike Lee Jae-Chul’s desperate feelings, Gi Do-Hae is calm. To be honest, going to the guide center didn’t mean anything.

He was notorious for having bad matches with guides. At first, the matching rate, which was barely 30%, fell year by year. But now, he couldn’t find a guide with a matching rate of more than 5% with him.

Other espers do not apply for guidance itself if the matching rate is less than 30%. In general perception, the matching rate of only 30% literally meant that it was not good.

But Gi Do-Hae had no choice. When in a hurry, he had to get a guide with a beggarly suitability rate. If he didn’t even do that, he would literally go berserk.

Even if he could guess what was wrong with the guide. He consciously stopped the memories that came to mind with the rusty smell of the cellar.

“……”

Anyway, it was annoying in many ways to take a guide that is only a drop of water on a huge dam, and who couldn’t breathe properly for hours.

In general, the deeper the touch, the higher the suitability rate. At some point Gi Do-Hae did not contact the guide other than the hand. Is it because of the matching rate that is close to the worst? Increasing the guiding level doesn’t make it more efficient.

After confirming that it was the same even if the guide was pushed to the limit, he stopped wasting unnecessary physical strength. It may have been the beginning of his escape from his father’s control, but it has been a long time since he felt bored with the fact that he was being guided. It was unclear whether he would have been active even if it had more efficiency.

On a day with severe deficiency like today, it was impossible to know where he should stop. If he had to mix his body in such a sharp state, he could kill guide while guiding.

“Let’s hurry in.”

Lee Jae-Chul, who finished parking like the wind, quickly ran out of the car. Just in case, he was going to go do something to prevent the guides from running away.

Gi Do-Hae, whose personality is as famous as his face, was also famous among guides in many ways. Lee Jae-Chul entered the center with an urgent mind, recalling some guides who had a suitable rate for Gi Do-Hae.

“Ha. Shit.”

Gi Do-Hae, who was slowly walking behind Lee Jae-Chul, felt uncomfortable as soon as he entered the center. He was standing on the edge, but as soon as he entered the guide center, he felt like his nerve had been directly bothered.

A small, stupid-looking fellow was pointing his cell phone at Gi Do-Hae very openly.

The tactful cubs had long been escaping the lobby of the guide center to escape from the harm. The clumsy-looking guy was flustered by the crowd, but he never let go of his cell phone. Still looking at the camera lens pointing at Gi Do-Hae.

Gi Do-Hae was already irritated in the first place, it didn’t take long before he used his powers. He completely forgot that using more of his powers would cause more pain. He thought it was rather merciful that his power was directed at his cell phone, not his neck.

“Uhhh…”

The stupid-looking man reached for the falling cell phone. However, unlike what it looks like, the cell phone, which was moving quickly , brushed past his hand and fell to the floor. He was going to smash it, but the sound of the screen breaking was smaller than he thought.

Seeing his bewildered white face, Gi Do-Hae approached him impulsively.

“Hey, hey, Gi Do-Hae!”

Lee Jae-Chul, who was ahead of him, sensed his unexpected action and returned in contemplation. Gi Do-Hae proudly ignored the words and continued walking. Then he obediently bent down to his waist and picked up the stupid-looking guy’s cell phone.

He is going to crush it with his own hands to warn him.

“Oh! Thank you for picking it up.”

However, rather than running away, he grabbed his hand.

Gi Do-Hae couldn’t avoid the hand because he showed such unexpected behavior. Normally, he would have pushed it away as if he were shaking off dirt, but his body became stiff.

“That’s very kind of you.”

He couldn’t even understand what the guy said. A refreshing energy flowed in through the hands held together. From the morning, the rusty view began to clear up little by little. The original world slowly returns with the white face in front of him as the center.

He was guided just by holding his hand for a second.

“……”

“Oh… the screen is broken.”

Kim San mumbled with Gi Do-Hae in front of him.

As soon as he arrived in the city, Kim San was completely losing his mind. He was nervous to hear that monsters can cut off his nose when he closed his eyes, but monsters didn’t appear as often as he thought.

Rather, it was countless people who made Kim San nervous. It was the first time in his life for Kim San, who is familiar with the countryside with only 20 households, faced such a large crowd.

The confusion was maximized because the place where he got off was a terminal between the city. Even before the monster incident, the terminal of city A, which was used as the capital, boasted a tremendous size. He had to look at the signs and find his way, but there were so many signs that he started getting dizzy. There are so many people who he bumped into. He had been bowing his head to say sorry all day, and he is already exhausted.

Is there something wrong with the way he ask questions? No one answered him properly when he asked for directions. Everyone looked at Kim San’s face and only returned a strange question about how old he was. Since his grandfather always told him not to disclose his personal information, Kim San ran away, carefully deflecting all questions.

Kim San, who finally visited the guide center, had to wander for a long time in the lobby again. This is because he couldn’t tell if I had to go to the guide living center, guide management center, or guide test center of this building.

He tried talking to people who looked like Esper in the lobby, but only strange words came back that he would guide him if he give his number. Like his grandfather, his friend Lee Hye-Min he should not tell his number to strangers. He said that a distant relative lived in a city, and he had a very bad time because he gave some stranger his number. So Kim-san ran away several times again this time. It was definitely an Esper’s uniform, but as Lee Hye-Min warned, he might recommend something like a pseudo-religion.

Kim San, who eventually decided to search for it on his own, was struggling with an old cell phone this time. For some reason, the communication was not good, so he was stretching his cell phone in the air with his hand reaching out for a long time. Obviously, it would be right to do, but strangely, the Internet only showed a white screen.

And he stupidly dropped his cell phone.

He let out a sigh.

In his hometown, the base station is too far away, so he can’t use it well, but he should have studied it in advance. Even though he knew it was a necessity in the city.

Indeed, it was the most pathetic and hectic day since his birth. It was also a day when even Kim San, who did not hesitate, wanted to cry a little.

A person who picks up his cell phone appears.

Kim San assuming Gi Do-Hae is a good guy not knowing he is the one who caused it to drop.
