Life in the orphanage was terrible. Little children died from harsh labor, at least once a month and at most once a week.
However, this orphanage in the remote part of Gangwon-do was never touched by the police or public authorities.
Regions, mountains, and islands where basic infrastructure collapsed were lawless areas. The social safety net was maintained only in the metropolitan area or large cities.
Even if there was a police force, they often turned a blind eye to the illegality by forming close ties with influential locals.
Hope Nursery.
This was one of the worst human rights violations. It looked like a welfare facility to protect children, but in reality, it was a labor facility run by gangsters.
The orphanage students did one thing- entering a magic stone mine to mine magic stones directly.
The mine was originally a workshop for miners to collect magic stones, but after these gangsters bought the magic stone mine, they were taking orphans who had no labor costs and were using them.
Larger children would wield a pickaxe to mine magic stones, and small children have to crawl through narrow crevices to install explosives or collect small pieces.
The words are simple, but the intensity of the labor was at a level that even a grown-up adult could not bear.
But Jin-Sung was different.
Jin-seong was exceptionally strong and strong from birth, so he never suffered a loss even if he picked a pickaxe all day and ran.
Despite the poor diet because of the lack of food supply, his body grew well, and he never had an upset stomach even if he ate something inedible.
At the same time, children who entered the orphanage died due to overwork, hunger, and disease or were taken to an unknown place, but Jin-seong survived.
Unlike other students of the same age, who were short and skinny, 16-year-old Jinseong Lee looks like he was over 180 years old.
'My teacher couldn't figure out what my history was.'
In this second life, Jinseong thought that he had to find a clue to the secret of his physical abilities that were different from others.
Kwang Kk Kk... -Jin-seong Lee suddenly looked at the children who were picking up a pickaxe next to him.
At this time before the return, Jinsung Lee thought it was natural to Iive like this.
Mining was everything in life, and it was inevitable that the original students would die.
As a young child, Jin-seong Lee believed the director's words that he had no money, and he only thought that he had to work harder the more he did.
But now it wasn't.
Because he knew deeply how ugly the director and his crew were.
And Jin-Sung Lee approached as she watched the small child gasp.
"Don't work hard.”
"Hyung?” The child asked, confused.
"I'll make you eat something delicious in a little while.” He said and pats his head.
Lee Jinsung thought that he might save the children this time/
That night.
In the darkness, a van was moving and rattling.
In the rattling car, Lee Jin-sung, Chief Kim, the director, and two gangsters were riding.
The car smelled like a mixture of plastic and artificial leather.
“Is it really just one dagger?"
"Yes."
A man in a leather jacket handed a dagger to Jinseong Lee.
Both the hilt and the blade were black combat knives.
It was a double-edged dagger that spanned more than one span, and it was strong and sharp even at a glance.
"Your uncles will have everything you need, so if you need anything, just ask for it.”
It was disgusting for him to act as if he were a good adult, but Lee Jin-seong answered politely without showing anything.
"Okay."
“And if this goes well, I'll let you eat whatever you want. Oh, the orphanage kids will also give you back a pizza...But do you know what pizza is?”
"...That's right."
Jinyoung thought to himself. ‘If the children were rightly paid for the money sold, one person should have eaten ten plates a day instead of one pizza’.
No, children shouldn't be doing this in the first place.
Director Jo Deok-gu, who was sitting next to him, said.
“Lee Jinsung, if you do a good job this time, I will take you from the headquarters. So, do your best as usual.”
"Yes."
What the manager was saying was different.
From now on, he will go directly under Kim Jun-oh and Lee Jin-seong will grow into an assassin in earnest.
And the starting point was the Purple Heart I was going to save now.
The job was simple.
Taking the purple heart that was found in the mysterious ruins dungeon and offering it to the boss.
Jinseong Lee looked at the gangsters who would enter the ruins dungeon with him.
Two gangsters were armed with rifles and magazines.
When their eyes met Lee Jin-seong, they grinned with their mouths missing their teeth.
In the woods outside the window, there was a huge explosion and the flames flashed.
However, this was nothing more than a fuss made by Kim Jun-oh's men to infiltrate Jin-seong Lee into the ruins dungeon.
“Jin-goo, turn off the light.”
"Yes!"
Car interior lamps and headlights turned off.
The rumbling van had its engine turned off and we were completely buried in the dark.
Manager Kim carefully opened the van door.
"Hey, can you see the light?"
"Yes."
Through the bushes and sparse trees, a tent under the lights was visible.
This was an outpost prepared to investigate the 'Ruins Dungeon'.
"You can pass that tent and go down to the ruins while your uncles are eyeing you from the front.”
The uncles in the van got up.
Director Kim opened the car door and led me out.
“Then, take good care of yourself.”
Jinseong also set foot on the ground without hesitation.
"It's over there."
The man started leading the way.
Not far away, gunfire and gunshots were exploding rapidly.
Jinseong and the gangsters descended down the cliff on a working elevator installed on the cliff.
-Getting involved...
And when I got down there, the iron door of the elevator opened.
The entrance to the ruins dungeon was revealed.
'I’m back here again.' Jinseong looked up at the entrance of the ruins, which had a magnificent appearance.
It was a large doorway engraved with a blue glowing, incomprehensible inscription.
“What are you doing, let's go.” The gangster who was ahead, urged Jinseong, who was admiring the entrance to the ruins.
"...what? Wasn't it attacked here?"
The gangster, who was ahead with a rifle, said as he looked at the two corpses that appeared in front of him.
"What?"
"Why are these guys dead?”
“I think they fought each other."
"Is it? They're weird."
'Hmm.'
Lee Jin-seong listened to the poor conversation and looked at the corpses scattered on the floor.
The cut-off skin was not a wound from a sharp knife.
It was a wound that had been torn off by force.
'In the past, there was only one.' He thought.
Jinseong Lee assessed the degree of danger of a foreign object that he would soon face.
'Now... ... You can win alone.'
Suddenly, the floor of the ruins shook.
The two startled gangsters started to get nervous as they aimed their rifles in all directions.
"What, what?!” They exclaimed, panicking.
One after another, a rock on one side of the wall began to move.
A wall full of strange hieroglyphs was torn apart.
The gangsters quickly aimed their guns at the cracked wall, even though they were bewildered.
"Damn it! You said you got everything sorted out!"
“Come out!”
They tried to pull the trigger at any moment, but it stopped.
"Eh?"
"What is this?"
What appeared through that gap was a person, not a monster.
“Haaa, I lived." She tied her hair back in oversized glasses.
It was an archaeologist in a round brim hat and an orange jacket.
But that didn't matter to the thugs.
“What woman are you?”
“Hey, is it the best?”
They were trembling a little while ago, but when a woman appeared, a dirty smile hung on their lips.
Conversely, the woman screamed a little when she saw the gangsters.
“Who are you?!”
The thugs exchanged words with the woman's reaction.
“Did the chief say not to leave the witness alive?"
"Well, by the way, this is a really nice product, isn't it a waste?”
At that, the thug next to me shouted.
"You idiot, you need to get a purple heart too, how do you get a girl out?"
"It's not that, let's just have fun and kill it.
"Oh yeah... ... ?"
At the second gangster's suggestion, the first guy's eyes ran across the woman's body like a snake.
"What...That's not enough time…
“Ahh, what are you guys doing!”
The woman felt danger, but had nowhere to run.
Lee Jin-seong looked at the scene and thought about it.
As usual, this woman will face a terrible end by the gangsters.
Lee Jin-seong discovered the identity of this woman while reading an archaeological book when she turned 20. She was the granddaughter of an archaeologist who achieved academic achievements at a young age and the first hero.
After that, Jinseong Lee kept this moment as a trauma for a long time.
'If I had prevented this woman's death then, wouldn't the future be different?'
The gangsters who did not even dream of Lee Jin-seong's regrets began to intimidate her.
"Hey, let this go!"
But she was already exhausted and there was nothing she could do.
One gangster laughed.
“Hehe. This will be over soon... Calm down..”
In an instant, a black blade pierced the gangster's neck and pierced the fence.
At the same time, the blade returned as quickly as tofu.
Between half beats, red blood poured out of the gangster's fence.
He hurriedly blocked his throat, but he could not stop the red blood from pouring out or stop his airway from being clogged with blood.
The first gangster groaned and fell forward.
Then, the figure of Lee Jin-sung standing behind him appeared. His dagger was stained with only a small amount of red blood.
At that moment, another gangster shouted at Lee Jin-sung's unexpected surprise.
"Bastard! What are you doing now!"
He hurriedly pointed his rifle at Jinseong and pulled the trigger.
– Tadaddang!
In an instant, fire erupted from the muzzle, and the bullets flooded.
Already, the distance between Jinseong Lee and the gangster is more than eight steps.
Before Jin-sung Lee approached, it would not be strange even if the beehive was there.
However, the muzzle, which was already firing the barrage, could not accurately target the target, and Lee Jin-seong was incredibly fast.
Kwajik!Jinseong Lee's dagger pierced the gangster's heart.
Knocked, ticked...
A dagger pierced his heart like a stake.
His body was paralyzed by shock, and his limbs were trembling.
Jinsung Lee did not stop there.
The blade was set horizontally and the rib cage was cut through the ribs.
-Choak!
As a result, the second gangster fell to the floor, bleeding profusely.
“Help.., live... ... give me...dump.."
He couldn't close his eyes and died of excessive bleeding.
"Ahh!”
And the woman who saw the eerie sight in front of her had no choice but to scream.
But Jinsung didn't care.
Leaving behind the second gangster, who was clearly dead, he looked at the first gangster who was crawling, leaving a long trail of blood.
"So you’re alive.”
It was when the gangster was about to grab a K2 rifle that had fallen to the floor with trembling hands.
Bump!
Jinsung Lee mercilessly picked up the gangster's hair.
The gangster's neck was cut deep.
"Ah... Alas... ... !"
The woman who was looking at it was terrified and her skin became whiter even more than that Jinsung Lee saved him.
His whole body froze at the terrifying slaughter that the man showed.
Jinseong looked at such a woman and thought for a moment.
'It should have been a little cleaner.'
It was a belated thought that it was an act of a little lack of consideration.
But it wasn't something that should be taken lightly.
“Even if you don't know her, this woman is a normal person, so she can die with a single bullet.” Jin-Sung Lee said kindly to himself.
“You bypassed the carotid artery."
"Yes Yes?!"
"It should have been a little cleaner, but it's been a while since I've killed people, so there was a mistake.”
The woman thought ‘A murderer?’
Lee Jin-seong wiped the blood from the knife on the gangster's clothes.
In an instant, the surroundings became a sea of blood, but not a drop of blood spattered on Lee Jin-seong's clothes.
Before the return, the gangsters called Lee Jin-seong this way.
“professional demolitionist.” A human butcher who does not get a drop of blood on his body no matter how many people he fights.
Lee Jin-seong collected two rifles from the gangsters he had killed and checked the gangsters' bullet belts.
There were two 50-round extended magazines in the rifles and two 30-round magazines in the belt.
It lacked ammunition, but he didn’t care
'Well, it doesn't matter.'
Jinsung approached the woman who was sitting on the floor.
“Your name is Lee Yeo-jin, right?"
"Yeah? How did you know?"
He stretched out his hand.
Jin-Sung Lee opened his mouth carelessly, while the woman was reaching out his hand.
“I am a fan. (Understanding Archeology and Theology), I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.”
Jinseong has loved to read books since childhood.
And when he found out that the woman who died tragically in front of me at the age of 16 was the author of a book I enjoyed reading, I suffered greatly.
It seemed that the atonement had now been made a little better.
"Are you going to kill me?” The woman asked in fear.
"Should I?" And after thinking for a while, Jinsung added.
“I will take you to a safe place."
Lee Yeo-jin looked up at Lee Jin-sung blankly.
It was a calm tone, but in the current situation, there was no other option for Lee Yeo-jin. With trembling hands, Yeo-jin Lee grabbed Jin-Sung's outstretched hand and stood up.
"Your name?”
Jinseong suddenly handed the K2 to the woman. She took it eagerly.
“I’m Lee Jinsung. Do you know how to shoot?”
"Ah yes. I learned it from my father…”
"Good for you. Follow me.”
Jin-Sung Lee took the lead and started walking. However, the direction was not the exit, but the inside of the dungeon.
“Where are you going now..?”
“We need to find the artifact.”
"Yeah? There is a monster inside.... ?!” ا Lee Yeo-jin's mind was confused. She had come out of this place to avoid a terrible foreign object. She didn't want to die.
However, Jinseong Lee reminded her of the purpose of entering the ruins dungeon.
“Yeojin-san, didn't you come in looking for a purple heart?”
“Hey, how did you….?"
The expedition went down to the depths of the dungeon to find Purple Heart, but it was annihilated except for Lee Yeo-jin by a monster that had woken up by mistake.
"Anyway! No one can defeat such a monster. Reckless!"
However, Lee Jin-seong did not respond anymore and started walking.
At that sight, one thought crossed her mind.
"No way... Are you an 'opener'?!”
At that moment, Jinsung Lee turned back slightly and responded.
"Just follow me.”
It wasn't a big deal, but Lee Yeo-jin was rather certain.
'Lee Jin-seong is an opener! An awakened one.’
When demons suddenly appear in the world and start killing humans.
Among humans, superhumans appeared.
Those who awakened the ability to cut steel like tofu, cast magic, use superpowers, and freely use fire, wind, electricity, etc. were called openers.
Naturally, thanks to them, mankind was able to survive.
'Ah, there wasn't an opener before, but if it were this man.....!'
Yeojin Lee once thought that it might be okay to trust that man.
“Go, go with me!" But contrary to Lee Yeo-jin's expectations.
Jinseong Lee was not an opener even before and now.
Jinseong Lee looked at the dagger in his hand and thought about how to catch the monster in the dungeon.
'Isn't it possible to win by grabbing it by hand?'
Lee Jin-seong, who had no worries, was an incredibly strong human without any supernatural powers.
Life in the orphanage was terrible. Little children died from harsh labor, at least once a month and at most once a week.
However, this orphanage in the remote part of Gangwon-do was never touched by the police or public authorities.
Regions, mountains, and islands where basic infrastructure collapsed were lawless areas. The social safety net was maintained only in the metropolitan area or large cities.
