“Brother!!!”
“So-eun!!!”
A sibling reunion that took place after a long period of 30 years.
Myung-jun couldn’t hold back his tears upon meeting his younger sister, whom he hadn’t seen for almost 30 years.
This was compounded by his guilt from the past when he couldn’t properly protect her and their grandmother before his regression.
‘She must have been desperately searching for this useless brother until the very last moment.’
When Myung-jun enlisted in the military at the age of 20, So-eun was only 13 years old, merely in the 6th grade of elementary school.
After they lost their parents at a young age, Myung-jun practically raised her.
Growing up under a grandmother who was stingy with affection, So-eun became heavily dependent on Myung-jun.
Then came the call of duty from the nation.
Young So-eun couldn’t understand why the country had to take her brother away. She mistakenly thought it was because she was bothersome, causing Myung-jun to leave.
When she reached middle school and the time apart from her brother grew longer, she began to understand that Myung-jun, as a Korean, had to serve in the military. But on his enlistment day, she cried so much that Myung-jun could hardly take a step away.
And her attachment to her brother continued even after Myung-jun was discharged from the military.
“Hehehe... Brother... Hehe.”
Wearing her school uniform, So-eun sat close to Myung-jun, eating the braised ribs he gave her, smiling with her eyes red from crying.
Myung-jun, with similarly teary eyes, diligently served the tender ribs to his younger sister.
“Goodness! What is a little girl like you doing? Get off right now!”
“Look, grandma. She must have felt lonely during her sensitive years, right?”
“That’s right! Brother! Grandma always nag me!”
Myung-jun gently stroked his adorable sister’s head and asked,
“Did you listen well to grandma while I was away?”
“Of course! How well-behaved and obedient I was!”
“Oh dear, stop lying. Just a few months ago, you pestered grandma so much about buying a cell phone. She was about to lose her hair over it.”
“All my friends have one!”
“If your friend has a baby, will you have one too?”
Myung-jun said, laughing at his grandmother’s words.
“Did you buy one for her?”
“Grandma needs to know about these things. Even when I go near the store, young folks grab this old lady and spew words so fast, I’m afraid I might get scammed. They mention something like 85,000 won or 99,000 won, but I should be able to know what’s right and what’s good.”
“Then I’ll take So-eun with me later to buy a cell phone.”
“Why bother? Won’t that cell phone or whatever it is just distract her from her studies? Your father grew up just fine without such things at that age.”
“Times have changed. And they’ll keep changing.”
With billions of lives potentially at stake on D-day, Myung-jun’s expression became cold and stern.
His grandmother, with a voice full of genuine concern, asked while touching his shoulder,
“Is something bothering you?”
“Have you seen the news about the recent monster attacks lately?”
“I did. They said something was spotted in the countryside, some creature that’s neither a tiger nor a wild boar, wandering around causing panic.”
“I encountered one of those monsters while I was in the military. 21 soldiers, including me, were deployed in an operation against it. All of them, except me, died.”
“Oh my God!”
“Waaah! Grandma! Brother’s talking nonsense!”
“Mental hospital! Mental hospital!”
“The militaryyyy! The military ruined my brother!!”
Seeing the chaotic atmosphere at the dining table, Myung-jun let out a deep sigh.
Gently freeing his sleeve from So-eun, who was still holding onto him and shedding tears, he shouted loudly and intentionally at the two of them.
“CALM DOWNNN!!!”
The two of them, frozen in place, stared at Myung-jun.
Myung-jun smiled and said,
“Now, I’m going to show you a magic trick. After seeing this, you’ll understand that my ability is beyond human comprehension.”
He took a tissue from the box on the table, placing it on his palm and closing his eyes for a moment. Surprisingly, the tissue began to glow in a faint blue light.
“What?! What did you do, brother?!”
Instead of answering his sister’s question, Myung-jun handed her the glowing tissue.
“tear it.”
“The tissue?”
“Just do as I say.”
“Eeek!! Huh?! Huh!?!? Huh?!?!”
“It doesn’t tear, does it?”
“How did you do that?”
“That’s my ability, [Attribute Transformation]. While retaining the external characteristics of an object, it changes the intrinsic properties of the object. This tissue still retains the structural properties and weight of the original pulp material, but its toughness has been transformed to be over 20 times tougher than Kevlar used in bulletproof vests. In other words, it’s become a ‘bulletproof’ tissue that even bullets can’t penetrate.”
“Wha?!? Really?!!?”
Despite her repeated attempts to tear the tissue with all her strength, So-eun couldn’t damage it at all. Eventually, even the grandmother tried using a knife, awl, screwdriver, and hammer to pierce the tissue, but it was as if the tissue was made of steel, remaining unscathed.
In the end, both Myung-jun’s grandmother and younger sister had no choice but to acknowledge the truth of his words. If Myung-jun had just shown them a sturdy object, it might have been different, but what lay before them, apart from its toughness, was still a light, white ‘tissue’ that seemed like it could easily be torn. The two, having never seen such a light yet strong material, couldn’t help but marvel at Myung-jun’s ability.
The excited So-eun, elated about the fact that her most adored brother had superpowers, bombarded Myung-jun with numerous questions.
“Brother, can you turn a piece of iron into gold?”
“I can change its weight properties to make it as heavy as gold or prevent it from rusting, or even change its conductivity to the level of gold. But I can’t change its appearance. So, I can make an iron that functions just like gold, but I can’t create gold itself.”
“Then, can you change my school uniform into an indestructible material?”
“I can. If you want, I can make it bulletproof.”
“Wow! Brother, you’re amazing!”
“Anyway, as I’ve shown you, people like me who have awakened to these special abilities are called the ‘Awakener’. And those Awakener can sufficiently defeat monsters that bullets can’t penetrate.”
“Well... I can’t help but believe when you show me like that...”
The still shaken grandmother, fidgeting with the tissue, responded.
Myung-jun, with a serious expression, addressed the two,
“However, there are problems with stopping monsters as an Awakener. Firstly, the number of Awakener is extremely insufficient compared to the increasing number of monsters. Currently, we’re encountering Rank 1 Monsters that we can control and somehow capture those bulletproof ones. But soon, when Rank 3 Monster that even heavy sniper rounds can’t penetrate appear, the world order as we know it will crumble.”
“But if your ability is as amazing as you say, can’t you just make a nail or knife that can kill the monster?”
Upon hearing his sister’s keen question, Myung-jun affectionately stroked So-eun’s hair.
“Exactly. With my ability, I can create bullets that can penetrate the impenetrable skin of the monsters.”
And then he nodded at So-eun and said,
“That’s why I hid this fact from the country. The Korean government and the Ministry of National Defense don’t know that I possess this ability.”
