Chapter 120
He had been worried that the Devil’s army would not come until February of the next year, but the anxiety was gone .
With less burden on his mind, Vulcan operated the Thunder God’s Might and headed to Shinchon joyfully .
He didn’t think he would hide himself .
It was impossible to stop the Devil’s army without being seen by anyone anyway .
Unless it is ‘Kim Jae-hyuk, an ordinary young man living in the Republic of Korea, has the power that ought to be in a hero movie’, it didn’t matter what articles or news would come out the following day .
He thought it would be rather funny .
‘Wish a movie about me could be made,’
Vulcan, who continued childish imaginations, flew into the sky, giggling to himself .
Obviously, he felt more at ease than he had been in Asgard .
His present life was similar to that of a office worker who would enjoy a Friday evening after finishing the day’s work .
As there was nothing that would weigh on his mind, most of his thoughts flowed into the positive side, and when it was too much positive, those thoughts became childish .
It may be said that the mental age was too low for a person, who was near 300 years old, but Vulcan did not think so .
‘I have spent 280 of 300 only fighting, so I’m still in my twenties,’
He didn’t look aged like a mummy, but he was still fresh in appearance .
Thinking that he would live young until the moment he died, he finished his flight .
He then straddled the streets and stood in front of a red periscope in Shinchon U-plex square as if nothing had happened .
Vulcan, who stood like a steel tower in the Demon Duke’s set .
Although it was Halloween, he looked remarkably unique .
Looking at him, a lot of young people, who were walking on the Shichon streets, exchanged a word with each other .
“Wow… Awesome…’
“Oh, genji? Lionheart? Or another game’s character…’
“Didn’t you say you don’t play a game?”
“Ah… well, no, I mean…’
“Oh…”
“How much would that suit cost?”
Many people gave their attention, then went their way, and there were quite many gathered to watch Vulcan’s armor .
Those who made round circles and surrounded Vulcan .
Receiving a hail of photo shoots, Vulcan smiled slightly inside his armet .
‘Ha…’
Like that, Vulcan, who was standing quietly for a time, gently lifted his hand .
He then, using his wind magic, blew the people all over the place .
Huuuiiiiiiiiioooonnnng .
“Uhgh! What the!”
“Uhhhgh!
“Shit, what the hell was it? What just happened?”
Although, by the delicate control of Vulcan, they landed safely, but couldn’t calm themselves down easily .
Looking at one another, they look dumbfounded as if they didn’t understand what had just happened .
Nonchalantly, he cut off a large space from the outside with his shield magic .
The shield was shining in blue,instead of transparent .
It was because he was concerned that the public would see the forthcoming massacre and be mentally shocked .
Those who had seen it started taking pictures like mad, but Vulcan didn’t care about it anymore .
Now they would appear in a little while .
Hundreds of years ago, they were hateful bastards that devastated his home .
To prevent the ground from being damaged, Vulcan spelled another shield magic and casted the Fire Field on it .
Looking at the burning frames without firewood, Vulcan thought to himself .
‘It’s now all set,’
Vulcan, who leaned against the red periscope with his arms folded .
Without even think about unsheathing his sword, he kept eyes forward .
He looked relaxed but his eyes were full of anger .
The space that his eyes had pointed to, became distorted like a whirlpool, and soon turned into a bobbing, black dimensional door .
Like the one of the Light inside Darkness that he had seen in Act 2 .
He mumbled to himself, very quietly .
‘Bring it on,’

The next morning .
Kim Ha-young, who woke up, grabbed her smartphone and connected to the SNS .
While swiping the latest updates of her acquaintances, various animal videos, and adult advertisements, she found a video .
A page titled ‘In Shichon yesterday . Not a movie . Hundreds of people saw this!’ .
She clicked on the thumbnail that looked like a scene from a movie, followed by a CGI feast .
“Ooooah! Is this for real? Dad! Check this out!”
“What?”
Then, a sound from the living room caught her attention .
The sound came from a wall-mounted TV .
A news channel was showing the same video that she was watching earlier .
‘Unidentified alien in Shinchon street at 1:00 am on November 1’
She stood dumbfounded as if she couldn’t grasp the situation, then went to the room and looked at her smartphone .
There were a lot of comments .
***
In addition to the SNS, there were articles and related reactions to all kinds of portal sites .
After checking them, she quickly ran to Vulcan’s room .
Kwang kwang kwang!
“Open it”
“Ah…”
As soon as Vulcan, who was half awake and half asleep, opened the door, she pulled her phone to him .
“This!”
“ . . . this what?”
“Is this real? You went to Shinchon yesterday! Did you see this?”
“Ah… not sure what you are talking about… “
Rubbing his eyes, Vulcan yawned big and said nonchalantly .
“You didn’t see the devilman?”
“What?”
Vulcan asked back .
“Devilman! People call this… alien Devilman,”
“Ha…”
Vulcan smirked with a dumbfounded look .
Of course, what he had done yesterday was unordinary but he was surprised that people already nicknamed him .
Maybe, it was because he looked like a devil in the Demon Duke’s set .
After saying he had not seen it, he closed his door, then laid down in bed again .
‘Devilman? What a tacky name,’
Vulcan pulled out his smartphone and checked comments .
In some game-related communities, there were those who called him Devil Skin Genji, instead of Devilman .
After spending 30 minutes surfing the internet, Vulcan plugged his phone into the charger and fell back to sleep again .
It might be a great story for the people of Earth, but it was nothing to him .
Not for the sake of fame .
He had no choice but to be seen as it was cumbersome to cover up his identity completely and stop the Devil's army .
The 'Sinchon Halloween' event, which became a hot topic for a while, remained the best mystery of the 21st century, and in January 2017, he entered the military as he had wanted .
The military life was much more comfortable than he had thought .
Sure thing .
Vulcan, who was able to adapt to the hellish and irrational military of ‘80s .
For him, who had such a strong body and mental like steel, the army of 2017, in which the motive dwelling system was established, was like camping for one year and nine months .
He completed his job thoroughly, with no difficulty .
Many NCOs watched him with startled eyes .
Vulcan also received a proposal to work in the military after discharge from military service .
But he didn’t want to .
The military life was just not difficult for him and had no value to him .
At that time, he was so tired of living in Asgard that he only thought about eating, sleeping and resting .
As he was in a place where movement was limited, he thought a lot and was worried about his future .
He was not worried about living because of the gold bullion that Jake gave him, but only playing and eating were not what he wanted .
‘What should I do… I can’t use my magic and sword skills here, Earth…’
However, he didn’t want to be an office worker like ordinary people .
Vulcan had some difficulty in interpersonal relations .
He didn’t have enough confidence to work overtime at night and to curry favour with bosses .
His concerns continued through his military service .
He was also devoted to exploring his career, rather than enjoying military vacation .
After spending a long time thinking, he was discharged from military service and returned to his home . He then spent some quality time with his family .
What he started from the next day was, ‘writing a novel’ .
