4 – 004. Life is hard

‘…… Life is hard.’

It has been 15 days since he officially went to work after receiving a notice of acceptance from the security guard. These days, we are slowly adapting to this world. I was living with those words in my mouth.

I thought about how I had become so pessimistic. Three reasons came to mind.

First of all, the first and biggest cause was the original author of this world, the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure.

It is said that in all possessed waters, the original author is hostile to the main character, but that guy was even worse.

An old sage said, “One hundred words are worth a thousand words.” Needless to say, the answer came out just by looking at the tutorial quest clear message.

“…… It sucks, f*ck.”

No matter how many times I’ve read it, I still swear. I felt like I could feel the evil intent of the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure mocking me in every single letter.

Furthermore, the horse is also a horse, but the things that were thrown as rewards were useless at all.

The final reward is the return. This is what I was roughly expecting, and I couldn’t do anything with a 2% expense ratio. The effect of the security guard skill was to raise the ability by 1 rank per 10% of the security rate.

Obviously I got the quest reward. There was no substantial change from before clearing the quest.

‘The second one.’

If you borrowed the game system, wouldn’t it be right to follow the rules of the game? It’s not that I’m asking for a lot, at least if you give me an item or attribute that can be useful in the beginning, what’s the point?

It was a stingy and petty treatment indeed.

However, it wasn’t just the quest rewards that he was stingy.

“…… Status window.”

As I muttered quietly in case anyone would hear it, information about the character ‘An Su-ho’ came to mind in the middle of my field of vision.

1. Academy security guard (Unique. E)

It was 15 days ago that I discovered the status window.

I shouted at the words of stats and ranks written in the guard’s skill description, just in case, and this window appeared in front of my eyes as if to show off.

There was no status window in the original game, but there was no problem in recognizing the figures. This is because the character’s abilities that the author posted in the work setting section were exactly this way.

Thanks to that, I was able to know the objective level of my body compared to the stats of other characters I remember.

As a result, I could see that my physical ability was at the level of a bug.

“Ha ha.”

The lowest level of ability that cannot be matched not only by active hunters but even by academy failure students.

As the setting of the character who was dragged into the military despite being a superman proves it, Ahn Suho’s body specifications were not up to the standard as a superman.

‘Can I follow the story from next month with this spec?’

The current date is February 14th.

Two weeks later, on March 2nd, the entrance ceremony is scheduled, and at that time, the generation of protagonists enters the academy.

The story of Begins with the main character, Ryu Tae-hyeon, entering the academy. In other words, now was the preparation period to adapt to the story.

And because of this pitiful stat, I was eating away the entire preparation period.

I was aware of the existence and acquisition method of all kinds of surprises and hidden elements that appeared in . However, due to the nature of the hunter water world, most of the opportunities existed within the dungeon.

What if I went into a dungeon with this spec to get some chance? Perhaps a small article like this will be published in the local press. ‘A young man in his 20s who was pessimistic about his situation, went into a dungeon that did not fit his level and committed suicide…’.

To put it bluntly, it was the law to be able to eat even if the minimum specifications were met.

And I haven’t even achieved that minimum spec.

It wasn’t that I didn’t do anything to raise my stats.

Commuting to and from work every day is a leap. After work, at the employee training ground, he lifted a lump of iron like a spear.

100 Push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 10 km of running? He endured the amount of training that doubled or tripled every day.

Fortunately, no matter how weak he is, a superman is a superman. This body was somehow able to withstand even the amount of training that would be too much for an ordinary person.

However, even after 15 days of training, his abilities did not rise at all.

Not even one.

‘Alphabet rank is at most 6-7 levels. You must be saying that it’s not that easy to step up.’

In real life, my body didn’t change after 2 weeks of starting the gym, so if it was realistic, it was realistic. It’s a problem because it’s realistic only in this part.

Summarizing, I possessed at best, but my ability was garbage and even slow to grow, I tried to cover that ability with a chance, but even that was not easy, and even the writer was a naive guy who was stingy with quest rewards that should be fair.

Because of this, I was killing time without doing anything at this time when I had to prepare for the future.

This was the number one reason why my life is so hard these days.

Yes, that’s just the first reason.

‘Damn it.’

Continuing to talk about the second reason why my life is suffering these days, it was my work.

Academy security guard.

At first, I thought there was something special about being an academy guard, but in reality, it was no different from other apartment guards.

I spend time absentmindedly in the designated guard room, patrol at the designated time, report any problems with the facility to the top, and in the spare time, do some paperwork before leaving work.

In addition, a basic salary of 2400 after tax, which is good for a starting salary, and private insurance coverage. Since various allowances and bonuses were paid, the academy guard was a good job from an objective point of view.

The reason why work is hard is simple.

It was because the bastards called academy students were so nasty.

‘Uncle. Can you throw this out instead of trash?’

‘What the hell, dirty. M I’m passing by. Could you stop sweeping the broom? What are you doing to make all the dust fly?’

‘What are you looking at? Oh, a non-smoking area? What the. What’s the point of smoking a cigarette in an open space?’

‘Uncle. Did you steal my leg?’

All the contempt and contempt I had heard from the students so far flashed through my mind.

Basically, the students here at Green House are people who live for their own taste.

In this world where there is a distinction between ‘superhumans’ who are naturally gifted with supernatural powers and ‘non-superhumans’ who do not, the students of Green House, where elites from all over the country gather, are tired of being a chosen people.

Discrimination against non-superhumans is normal, and even I, the same superhuman, is despised by them just because I am weak.

Although descriptions of discrimination appeared occasionally in the original work, I don’t think it was to this extent, but what happened? Maybe the main characters had a unique concept, or it was one of the settings that changed as I possessed it, like the guards setting.

Anyway, for those students, the perception of the guards was at a rock bottom level.

At most, it is the last place chosen by dropouts who, despite being born as superhumans, do not have even a mediocre job due to their poor abilities. For the students, the academy guards were just such a perception.

Thanks to that, for the past 15 days, I have suffered from all sorts of slander and contempt.

It’s normal for a guy who must have just turned 20 to start talking nonsense. Don’t you throw trash in front of you while you’re cleaning? When the time to use the training ground was over, I asked him to come out, so he suddenly started cursing me. When I’m on duty, they make fun of me in plain sight or take pictures of me on their own. The other day, a student gave me a drink to work while eating some of it, but it turned out that the expiration date was half a year past.

‘It’s annoying to think about it.’

Originally, in the original world, sometimes apartment dwellers’ controversy over power abuse would be on the news. Things like that were a daily routine for me.

The fortunate thing was that some of the students acted so actively. Most of the students were busy with their own work and didn’t even care about the guards.

‘What are the guys who interviewed with me doing? Did you know that you were being treated like this and went to the interview with such enthusiasm?’

“…… f*ck.”

As soon as I realized my situation, I started swearing. He buried himself in the guard’s chair and let out a deep sigh.

– Knocked up.

“Suho. I’ve been patrolling all over.”

At that time, the door to the security room opened and a sturdy male security guard entered.

My senior at work and a security guard who was assigned to the 3rd Basic Training Center with me. It was Kwon Chang-wook.

“You worked hard, senior.”

I was about to stand up from my seat and say hello, but he stopped me.

“All right, all right. Just take it easy Was there anything unusual while I was gone?”

“No. What happened to you?”

“There was one. I saw her when she came in earlier, and she was there again on the other side of the corner.”

“…… Are you talking again?”

“Yes. Did she come out and see you?”

After following him out of the guardroom, I looked in the direction he was pointing.

On the corner of the building, a bit far from the security office. A short blonde woman was poking her head out.

A young face with a short height of less than 150 cm.

At first glance, he looked like a middle school student, but he was wearing the same guard uniform as mine.

Her name is Chae-yeon.

As a member of the Special Countermeasures Division under the Guard, he was a direct subordinate of Min Chaeryeong, who is serving as the team leader there.

She made eye contact with me. As I stare, she freaks out and hides herself behind her corner.

How long has it been? Golden hair peeked out from the side of the corner. Soon, as before, she slowly poked her head out.

“!!”

As soon as I met her eyes, she hid herself again. And after a while she stuck her head out again.

The process was repeated about five times.

Are you incapable of learning? Or are you openly appealing?

Kwon Chang-wook, who was watching this, asked awkwardly.

“Shall we go and ask what’s going on?”

“…… Let it be. After all, if we approach, they will run away again.”

As I sighed and entered the security room, Kwon Chang-wook looked at me with a bitter expression.

That woman’s existence was the last reason why my life was so hard these days.

From the day after I was called by Min Chaeryeong to listen to the circumstances, all the way until today. For about 15 days, I was being stalked 24 hours a day by that clumsy stalker. When I’m working, when I’m resting at home, and when I’m out, anytime.

That woman followed me everywhere like a chick. He couldn’t even properly hide himself on such a topic, so it was annoying to see him flirting in the corner of his field of vision. However, her foot was also very fast, and when I approached to argue with her, she would run away and disappear.

I even asked Min Chae-ryeong what was going on, but she just smiled. She said she couldn’t interfere with her subordinate’s private life.

It was already clear that it was not a private matter at the point of openly monitoring during business hours, but Min Chaeryeong was consistent in not knowing.

‘It’s probably because of the Bona Mana Professor Shin Jin-woo case.’

I was evasive saying I found it by accident, but if I was determined and investigated, I would have found at least one or two oddities.

But if she called me again to inquire about it, she would know very well that I would not tell the truth. That’s why she must have put on surveillance like that to pry something out.

I wonder why they put such a clumsy number on.

To put it all together, my daily life these days can be said to be a life where I wasted the long-awaited preparation period because of the artist’s trickery, was ignored by students every day at work, and watched 24 hours a day by a strange woman.
