Wrecking Other World's

Eps. 2 - Rise up

Now he was right at the crossroads, as usual.

The color of the traffic light is still the same even though it has been around for hundreds of years, the difference is the device used to display its color.

the lights turned red, indicating people on the side of the road could cross safely, although transportation was now increasingly advanced, such as air cars and dive cars, there are still many people who use old model cars because they are considered antiques and luxury.

as pedestrian markers were allowed to cross the street, Lee Junwoo crossed along with the rest of the crowd.

But it appears at the other end of the road there is a vehicle that shows no signs of reducing its speed Although the red light is on, and the driver of the vehicle put on a frantic expression as if the vehicle is out of his control. Lee Junwoo and the crowd were unaware of the vehicle's arrival, as the world's traffic accident rate is now close to 0% of people feel safe in crossing or crossing the road.

When Lee Junwoo thought something was strange, he felt a chill around his body as if warning him of danger, and soon he heard a loud bang

"Duakk!! Ngiiiikk!! Jrass! Hmkkk!"

His vision suddenly blurred and darkened, after which he felt a pain in his head like being hit by a hammer.

then his entire body became numb, his gaze darkened, and it was hard to hear.

"Why?? what the hell's going on?? Hmph...!?"

he tried to think, but suddenly he lost consciousness.

* * * * * * *

Lee Junwoo slowly opened his eyes, his gaze a little blurry, he tried to adjust his vision to his mind. Then he looked at the white ceiling.

she found herself lying on the bed, and she felt her body powerless, before long she saw a nurse, she looked like a shocked person and rushed to call someone.

Now he knows where he is, he,

"What just happened?.."

Lee Junwoo recalled the incident he had just experienced.

"Could it have been a traffic accident?"

Lee Junwoo frowned while thinking.

then another person arrived, dressed in a white suit and covering his face with a mask, he looked at Lee Junwoo With his eyes wide open and around his face were beads of sweat, like someone who had just finished running in a hurry, he immediately checked the medical equipment.

just by looking at his appearance and behavior, Lee Junwoo could tell that the person was a Doctor.

"Can you say something?"

the doctor asked Lee Junwoo after tidying up the medical equipment.

"What just happened to me? was it an accident?"

lee Junwoo

"!!!"

The doctor put on a shocked expression and his eyes widened..

"I. yes, you had an accident, but thankfully you're still safe"

The doctor said stuttering, his eyes flushed red, as if he wanted to cry. Lee Junwoo was confused by the doctor's expression, even the nurse who called the doctor also looked at the doctor with an astonished expression, because usually the doctor was always expressionless even when facing a dying patient.

then the doctor removed the mask on his face, smiled warmly and said:

"And it wasn't just Junwoo, it was 4 years ago"

this time the doctor's face is clearly visible, he is Kim Bum. The one who is still fresh in Junwoo's memory..

and Junwoo had a dark expression as if in disbelief..

"Is this a joke?? Kim Bum?? I know you paid me 1000 credits first and I haven't given you my Item, but you don't have to do this"

How could he possibly believe that the person he had just contacted just a moment ago was now already a doctor? He could accept the fact that he had an accident, but facing a joke like this when he just regained consciousness was simply unacceptable.

"I'm not lying, Junwoo. You should be able to see my beard that has grown thick"

Kim Bum once again tries to convince Junwoo of the truth.

This time Junwoo did not change his expression he saw the calendar attached in the corner of the room on the table showing

[6 February 2224]

and once again Junwoo lost consciousness.

"Youtube!!!"

Kim Bum yelled and immediately grabbed the unconscious Junwoo, then checked Junwoo's condition just to make sure he was okay. Kim Bum sighed in relief as Junwoo's condition did not deteriorate.

Then Kim Bum contacted Junwoo's family and informed them of Junwoo's situation.

they rushed to the hospital, leaving everything that was going on.

* * * * * * *

This time Junwoo had already regained his senses yet he did not want to open his eyes, he still had to process and digest everything, he had already been lying down for over 4 years, 4 years! .. a lot of things that he has missed, maybe there are already many new anime released and maybe his favorite anime 'One Place' is over.

Then he heard the sound of footsteps from 3 people, strangely he knew how many people it was.

a moment later came the voice of the old lady who was a bit hoarse

"June.. Junwoo's"

she knew that voice.it was her mother's voice!

and once again Junwoo knew without even looking at the face of the person speaking. But he still refused to open his eyes. He is not ready to face reality.

He could not look at his mother's face, which must have grown old.

"Sister.. Brother..don't pretend to be asleep, I know you're awake! should I flush with hard water?"

then Yun-Hee hardens her hand which is holding Junwoo's hand.

Junwoo finally opened his eyes, feeling the pain in his palm, in his heart he cursed

"Are you really my sister?".

but he held her back and smiled bitterly at his sister, his mother, and also Kim Bum. He could not continue to ignore reality and ignored his little brother who was clasping tightly to his hand.

"Lee Yun-Hee should now have gone to university, but due to the hospital fees.Maybe Yun-Hee went to work for a company, with a graceful appearance, straight long black hair, oval face, Yun-Hee is so beautiful that she can become a model".

that was what Junwoo thought.

Looking at him at a glance, Kim Bum knew what Junwoo had in mind..

"Relax, your sister is now attending the university we used to be at"

Kim Bum told Junwoo

"And for 1000 Credits... Forget about that"

Kim Bum added, actually Kim Bum did not end up thinking that his friend who became his motivation to become a doctor, when he first woke up from his coma, what he was alluding to was 1000 credits of Game item transactions that never even happened.

"really? then thank you. thank you very much..!"

Junwoo said with a bright smile, he couldn't possibly ask his family for money to replace the 1000 credits he got from Kim Bum at a time like this.

Junwoo this time believed Kim Bum's words, he could not imagine how much the sacrifice of his Family and also Kim Bum who might take care of him all this time.

But it is still a question of how his sister can remain in college even though his family has to bear the cost of the hospital. But he was reluctant to ask anyone, because sooner or later he would know.

The four of them talked for a long time..

it turns out that his mother sold a store in the suburb of Seongnam for Junwoo's maintenance fee. Now her mother became an employee at one of the restaurants thanks to her friend who became the manager at the restaurant.The cost of the treatment itself costs 3,000 credits a month.

it was a common treatment in which the recovery rate of the patient took a long time, and perhaps that was why he was stuck in a coma for 4 years.

for the latest medical technology, he could have regained consciousness in just 6 months. yet it cost a lot more.it was an amount that only Junwoo could imagine in his dream.

even in a coma for 4 years he did not dream of seeing money.

As for the driver of the vehicle that was carrying the vehicle died on the spot, as many as 12 people died in the accident, the cause is an error in the vehicle's AI system and also an Error in the traffic light system, the traffic sign system,

The government only compensated 65% of the cost of care for each survivor, and 500 thousand credits for the family who died, that was several times the total care Junwoo had during this time.

and his sister, Lee Yun-Hee got a scholarship so that his family did not have to pay for education.

when Junwoo heard the news, he thought, "Is he my younger brother??".

even Junwoo would feel lucky enough to be able to enter the top 10 in the class.

the day also turned dark. Mother and sister, they both go home to rest and continue their affairs that they left behind, then leave Junwoo to Kim Bum.

Their mood is in a very happy state. Waiting for Junwoo to recover soon and return home.

His mother also immediately set up a gaming capsule using money from the rest of the store. Her mother prepares a capsule for Junwoo after hearing from Kim Bum that her son wants to make the Game a priority of his job.

And Junwoo certainly didn't know that.

On the other hand, Junwoo could not go straight home as he had to go through the final stage treatment to recover his physique.

according to what Kim Bum said, the most popular VR game now is WOW which was released by TopTech Company 2 years ago. In other words, it experienced a 2-year schedule downtime, and TopTech Company expressed an apology to the public and informed the public that the Game was under development and system repair.

but despite 2 years late release, WOW remains the center of attention of the world, even 78% of the world community currently plays the Game, 22% the rest are people who cannot afford gaming capsules and children due to age restrictions. And the game even plays the role of the world economy today.

"just really.. Everything that comes from TopTech Company will be the center of attention of the world" Junwoo thought.

"Do you still want to play WOW Junwoo?"

Kim Bum asked him

"Why not? what is the average level of current players?"

Junwoo asked back

"I think about the 200-250 level, maybe" Kim Bum replied.

"Is the game difficult? even after 2 years the average level player was still at that level? Have you played WOW?" Junwoo felt astonished.

"Not yet, I'm still waiting for my friend who falls asleep every day to wake up" Kim Bum said as he stared at Junwoo.

"Sleep? fuck ya!" Junwoo was upset and cursed Kim Bum.

"Haha.. " Kim Bum just scratched the back of his head while laughing

"WOW unlike any VR game you've ever played before, our real-world physical strength also affects our characters in the game, you will feel your body in the game is your real body, our five senses also affect the fight there" said Kim Bum.

"Then I have to train my physique in the real world first" Junwoo revealed his thoughts.

"not really, you can practice recovery and physical improvement through WOW"

then Kim Bum explained in detail about WOW based on what he knew.

"What an amazing thing! With this maybe I can rebuild the store for my mother"

Junwoo was excited to play WOW as soon as possible

"yes, try!"

Kim Bum encouraged his friend while preparing to leave the patient room so that Junwoo could rest well.
