Solo Clear Chapter: 24 Lives After Return #1

I went back to the real world after three years and decided to go home before doing anything else.

"… Jin .. Jin Woo."

It seems like my mother suffered a lot because she had more wrinkles on her face, making her look like she was 10 years old instead of three.

As soon as she saw my face, she approached me with tears and hugged me tightly.

"I ... really think something happened .. to you."

"I'm home."

He started touching my face as if he couldn't believe it and to calm it down, I patted his back.

We ended up hugging each other for a long time.

It is as if we express our happiness through this embrace instead of through words.

"… You're home."

My Father stood behind My mother and hugged Me with a warm smile.

It seemed like there was a lot she wanted to say, but since my mother was crying a lot, she remained silent.

"…I."

After coming home, I went straight to the bathroom to clean up my dirty body.

During the stage, I had enough water to wash my face, so seeing the shower that poured a lot of water was unfamiliar to me.

I feel the same way when I see shampoo and soap.

"…Wow."

How long has it been since I sat in a tub of hot water?

My face immediately relaxed after I felt the hot water on my skin.

Despite the fact that it was just a tool installed in a small, shabby apartment, when compared to my life on stage, this was a luxury.

I don't mind spending 50,000 Geny to spend one night in a room that has this kind of facility.

I didn't want to take a bath long before, but now, a 30-minute shower is short for Me.

When I walked out, the delicious aroma of bean paste tickled my nose.

The sound of the knife hitting the cutting board and the steam coming out from the rice cooker made me excited.

It's time to eat and there's so much food at the table that I think it's someone's birthday.

Using his cooking skills, he made side dishes that were placed on the table and they brought joy.

"Thank you for the food."

It's been a while since I used a spoon and ate a decent meal. I ate like **** and within a few minutes, I finished the bowl and asked for another bowl of rice for my mother.

"Eat slowly. No one will take your food. Drink water too. "

"That's very nice. I'm not sure how long it's been since I've eaten a decent meal like this. "

Oh Mother I have a sad expression on her face because she might think that her son is not eating right in another world.

"Ha ha, but not that I'm starving in there."

"True .. that's a relief."

My mother seemed happy just from watching me eat because she kept watching me with a happy expression.

It seemed like he could not calm down yet as his eyes were still filled with tears.

“You've been through a lot. Don't do anything for a while and just focus on resting. "

"…good."

While eating, that is all that my father told me.

He may have many questions and would like to ask about where I am and what I am doing in the other world.

But he didn't ask anything.

After I finished eating, I headed straight to my room.

I thought of spending time with them by telling them everything I've been through and celebrating My return,

but I shook my head.

If I told them all the things I experienced on stage, they would both think that I suffered a lot.

"…Mother."

Looks like someone has used my room, because it's neatly organized.

There was a great chance that I could die, but it didn't seem like he was letting go of the little hope he had.

After feeling satisfied from the food, I want to jump into bed, but the first thing I look for is My computer.

After turning it on and seeing the monitor on, I felt excited.

Moving the mouse and typing on the keyboard feels very new to me.

“Klan's best nation, World Unification, is the first clan in the country to break through the 20th stage. They are the second clan in the world to do so and have caused Koreans to be proud of their country. "

“Wild Ginseng has been a hot item lately and the CEO of JK Group, Im Dong Muk, has won the bid by bidding 2 billion won. This ginseng extended a person's lifespan by 10 days and was discovered by a man who was in the ninth stage. ”

“The stage challenger has broken the record again. As the third stage attack method has been known, the survival rate of that stage has risen to 95% and has caused recent elementary school student graduates to participate without their parents knowing it. There is a need to be careful about this matter. "

As expected, many people have become interested in the stage over the past few years.

I had no idea anyone else would participate on stage again after returning to the real world.

I think maybe they need to be sent to a mental hospital for a checkup, but.

Maybe they are happy with the fact that they can do things that they cannot do in the real world or maybe they find a way to make a living there, but anyway, people keep entering the stage.

"Hm?"

While scrolling with the wheel on the mouse, I stopped at a certain website.

It was a site where large corporations and governments employed stage challengers and their requirements to work with them.

Since the challengers had to risk their lives, the amount they displayed on the website was huge.

"Is this money?"

I did consider survival to be the best gift, but after returning to the real world, that goal seemed to be unimportant anymore.

What should I do from now on?

Should I sit at the table like in the past and focus on my studies while holding a thick pen?

I don't know.

But, after thinking that it wasn't too bad to meet at least once, I sent a resume to a company.

***

There was a time when the rich would invest their money into these stages, thinking that they were worth something and reaching a point where they would fight each other over it.

They did not have any information, but they needed a trump card to advance, but it was not easy because for them, it was like gambling.

However, among those people, there were some who were one step ahead of them and invested on the stage.

Baeksan Group, MS Group, and Oz Capital are those people.

I did an interview today with MS Group.

When there was no confirmed information and only rumors, the CEO, who was at the center of the company, decided to invest despite the fact that others disagreed with him.

Fortunately, he succeeded.

Currently, the MS Group had four clans ranked within the top 10 clans.

The fact that people would be able to work with high-ranking clans and gain the support of companies, many survivors signed up to work with them, but recently, they have, there were rumors that their evaluations had become louder and stricter.

Having a boring resume will not get you in.

"Hello."

While eating the cake and coffee they had in waiting, a man dressed in a neat suit with tidy hair approached Me.

"Hello."

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Ha ha, there was someone else before you who came for the interview, but there was a fight. ”

"Oh so."

He talks the same way as other employees who work for large companies, but he doesn't stop smiling.

Briefly I thought that maybe I'd end up like him if I didn't fall on stage and live a normal life.

"I'll check the resume you sent. Hm … "

The Section Chief, Oh Dae Suk, looks at Kang Jin Woo's resume with a small smile.

He had the same experience as the previous victim.

That became a problem, because recently, anyone who qualified for the third stage would submit their resume and request an interview.

These days, surviving and returning from the stage is nothing.

"Mine and grave .. and you left the third stage empty. Is there a reason for that? "

"That's not a location."

“Ha ha, what do you mean? After researching, it was concluded that the third stage had a total of six locations. ”

"I did see them on the internet, but I wasn't in any of those locations."

"… Hm?"

Oh Dae Suk did not think that the man sitting in front of him was lying.

Then does that mean the seventh location in the third stage was found?

No, it's not possible.

There were many survivors who returned and according to their information, there was not a single person stationed in a different location other than the six mentioned.

“Please think carefully. Depending on where you clean up, the points will be different. In the second stage, the grave is the most difficult location in that stage, so you get higher points. ”

I finally thought again after hearing what he said, but it was hard to tell where I was.

How can I tell them my location when it changes every day?

"It doesn't matter if you give me the lowest point."

"… Then it will be difficult. Don't you know how popular the MS Group is among the challengers? "

"Challenger?"

"What we call survivors who survived the third stage and came back and went back to the stage again .. This kind of information is something you can find online."

"Hm, I didn't know that."

Oh Dae Suk grinned as if he found this situation absurd.

This was the first time he had taught basic information like this during an interview.

Moreover, the man in front of him did not really show any desire to be here, despite the fact that he was in front of the employees of the MS Group.

Other people usually kiss them and ask them to accept it.

There were even some who were willing to bribe them with items.

"Well, then, what stuff do you have?"

"Can I pick up an item here?"

"…Yes, that's it."

Oh Dae Suk's voice was filled with disappointment.

Goods can be removed from inventory even in the real world.

This is the basic information that even children know about it.

"Well, there's not much to show."

I took the sword, the gear, the bow and the axe I used for three years.

It's strange how monsters don't drop finished goods during the third stage and because of that, I have to use them for hunting.

"Oh .. This item was dropped from the monster guarding the front of the ruins. That was amazing. Did you drop it with your teammates? "

"No, alone."

"… It's not a good idea to bluff in front of the interviewer."

I took it myself, so that's why I said it.

I can't do anything if they think I'm lying.

I don't really want to persuade him either.

"… The one thing I want to ask you is why there is no section to include our skills or stats."

“There is no way for us to check it. In the upper stage, the Scouter is given as a gift and provides that function, the Scouter, but it can only be used once and it is too expensive for us to use it on any and every survivor who comes here. "

"I saw."

"In addition, the survivors could only use 1 ~ 2% of the power they gained from the stage. High rank survivors were different, but survivors who managed to clear the third stage could only use 1% of their strength. I thought they wouldn't even be able to break through the wall. "

"Hm, what you say is a little contrary to the things I hear. From what I heard, the survivors trained their strength on the stage just in case the monsters entered through the portal, but why can't it be used in the real world? "

"They said that the managers were not ready. It was very easy for one's ethics to be annihilated if they became stronger recklessly. I understand that. Now, let's go back to the topic and talk about the results of your interview. "

I didn't bother listening to what he said and stood up from my seat.

Before Oh Dae Suk will say that they can't accept it, he thinks that Kang Jin Woo is standing, a. Assume that that's what he'll say.

"What would you do if I destroyed the broken wall that was there?"

I pointed at the wall 10 m away from me.

“Ha ha, I was wondering what you were talking about, but you can go up there and try. Not like you'll be able to crack it. "

The plan to get their attention is very simple.

He placed the mana on top of his finger and flicked it like a pellet.

Swooshes !! Explosions.

It passed through the gaps that were in the walls and created holes between the walls.

The interviewer's eyes widened and at a loss for words, he continued to stare at the wall and Kang Jin Woo.

"What ... oh !! Let's do another interview from the beginning. Now ... please sit down. N-no !! Please hold on a second. I'll make a quick call to the boss. "

Oh Dae Suk makes an excuse to make a phone call and quickly runs out of the room.
