A chilly autumn morning, in front of Grid’s house . Before he knew it, Kang Cheolgyu had been waiting for 13 hours and his nose became runny . He felt confused as his cold body shook .
‘The car isn’t leaving…’
For Kang Cheolgyu, a house was just a place to sleep . To him, it was impossible for someone to stay in their house for more than 13 hours .
‘What’s wrong with him?’
A single storey house . It was a very small house that was 25 pyeong, and this included the garden area . Kang Cheolgyu somehow felt sorry as he thought of the young man living alone there .
“Poor fellow . ”
Kang Cheolgyu lost his parents early on . He lived in poverty and had no place to lean on . He remembered the days when he lived in a basement room off ramyun noodles and how cold it was . Now the current Grid seemed to overlap with his own past, causing Kang Cheolgyu’s heart to feel sorry .
“…No, wait . ”
Wasn’t Grid living with his family?
‘I’m not in a position to worry about him . ’
Kang Cheolgyu was suddenly filled with doubts .
‘Even though he lives with his family, why hasn’t anyone left for 13 hours?’
The lights in the house weren’t even turned on .
‘Perhaps…’
Could it be a robbery?
Kang Cheolgyu was worried .
‘Perhaps Grid and his family are being held hostage by robbers?’
It wasn’t possible . Grid was his target . He needed to hurt Grid to be paid .
“Shit, I guess I have to rescue them . ”
Kang Cheolgyu might have a good fighting ability, but his head was bad . It wasn’t just that he didn’t go to school and read, but that he was born with a terrible brain . He forgot the reason that he watched Grid’s house for 13 hours was because the house had a security sticker on it and started to climb the fence .
The reason for making such a stupid choice was nervousness .
Chirpppppppp!
The sensor detected Kang Cheolgyu hanging from the fence and the alarm sounded . It was a loud noise that rang out through the neighborhood .
“Heok . ”
Kang Cheolgyu was startled and jumped from the fence . He tried to escape when someone blocked his way .
“A rat came here . ”
“…?”
The man was wearing a eyepatch over his left eye . He was a young Westerner with a big nose, light green eyes, and short grey hair .
“Who are you?”
Kang Cheolgyu was alert as the Western spoke in a foreign language that couldn’t be understood .
“Kyaaack~ spit!”
The Westerner didn’t speak for long . He spat out phlegm and acted like he was going to make a move on Kang Cheolgyu . Kang Cheolgyu’s face distorted .
“This crazy one-eyed bastard . ”
They wanted to act against the chief of the Poisoned Wave gang?
“I don’t know who you are, but you will regret this . ”
Kang Cheolgyu’s fists were fast and powerful . It was three consecutive blows and a jab, a perfect killing technique based on boxing . But the Westerner was several times better . The Westerner blocked all of Kang Cheolgyu’s punches with just his right hand, then grabbed Kang Cheolgyu’s wrist .
Kang Cheolgyu’s face paled .
‘This guy!’
He saw through the lightning fast punches and even neutralized it? The movements were at the level of a world-class boxer! The Westerner saw Kang Cheolgyu’s shaking eyes and raised a long leg .
Pakak!
“Kuk…!”
Kang Cheolgyu shook as he raised his left arm to guard against the Westerner’s attack . He tried to pull away the right wrist held by the Westerner, but the grip was too powerful . The Westerner pulled Kang Cheolgyu and raised his knee .
Peeok!
“Heeok!”
Kang Cheolgyu’s nose was crushed by the hard knee . The Westerner still gripped his wrist as he tried to block the blood . Kang Cheolgyu determined he couldn’t break free with force, so he rotated and swung his elbow .
The Westerner had a sharp scar on his nose . It was like a knife cut .
‘Fairly good . ’
The Westerner was somewhat impressed . But it was only up to there . Kang Cheolgyu’s strength was broken after he suffered great damage to his face . In the first place, the Westerner was more proficient, since Kang Cheolgyu suffered from a one-sided violence .
Bam bam! Bam bam bam!
The Westerner was really cruel . He kept punching, punching, and punching Kang Cheolgyu . Blood flowed down from Kang Cheolgyu’s face, and he now seemed pitiful .
“You… Who the hell are you…?”
Why was this Westerner so strong, and why was he beating Kang Cheolgyu to death like this? The Westerner introduced himself to Kang Cheolgyu .
“I’m Grid’s bodyguard, Toon . ”
That’s right . The identity of the Westerner was beast master Toon . He once broke the balance of the Italian mafia, and was the strongest player in reality . The reason he was staying in South Korea was at Yura’s request .
“Toon-ssi, you are lacking funds to buy land in South Korea? If you want to move to South Korea like the other guild members, I will arrange a place for you to live . Instead, please be responsible for Grid-ssi’s safety . ”
Grid’s safety was the desire of all Overgeared members, not just Yura . Because there was Grid, the Overgeared Guild could exist . Because there was the Overgeared Guild, they could be in their current positions .
In particular, Toon had a great tendency to rely on Overgeared . The existence of colleagues who he could rely on was very important for an orphan .
“Touch, Grid, kill . ”
Chill .
Toon’s eyes were as cold as a beast as he spoke in broken Korean . Kang Cheolgyu nodded .
“U-Understood . I won’t step on Grid’s shadow in the future!”
The moment he declared this .
Creak .
The door to Grid’s house opened and a young man appeared . Grid had been lying in the capsule for 13 hours and ran over when he heard the alarm sound .
“What? What’s going on? Eh? Toon? Why are you here? When did you come to Korea?”
There was an unidentified man and Toon . Grid couldn’t figure out why . At this time, three security company cars arrived in front of Grid’s house .
“You’re safe!”
The security company’s employees descended from the cars and checked Grid’s safety . Grid wasn’t just a customer, they were also fans of Grid .
“Eh… Well, I’m okay . ”
Grid replied while standing next to Toon, so that there wouldn’t be any misunderstandings . Meanwhile, the security company employees arrested Kang Cheolgyu and reported it to the police station . The officers were astonished when they saw Kang Cheolgyu’s face .
And at dawn . There was an explosion of TV and Internet news .
[Grid, he played a significant role in the arrest of a drug trafficker . ]
[Kang Cheolgyu, the chief of the drug dealers in South Korea, was caught by Grid and his colleague Toon . ]
[The city of Seoul is awarding an honorary citizen’s medal to Grid and Toon . ]
[The National Police Agency will provide an appreciation plaque and prize money to Grid and Toon . ]
[The Blue House is thinking about a president’s citation . ]
“…Ah, I have to play the game . ”
Grid didn’t even know why he received the honorary citizen’s medal . It was an honor, but Grid’s expression showed that it was merely inconvenient . He didn’t want to waste time travelling to Seoul City Hall and the police station with Toon, as well as have interviews with reporters .
“I don’t have time to play the game . ”
“…”
Toon felt vaguely sorry towards Grid .
***
[You have entered the 40th island . ]
Grid educated Lord and made a spear and bow to be used . He was fully prepared and returned to the Behen Archipelago . Sticks greeted him .
“You finally came . ”
“I will start the challenge immediately . ”
Grid didn’t ask if the other Overgeared members had reached the 20th island . He had faith that his colleagues would do well, and now he had to concentrate on his own development . The reason why Grid was so worried?
It was simple . The 2nd Satisfy National Competition was to be held in Paris, France . Grid had to play a big role there .
‘I must unconditionally win three gold medals . ’
Was it because he coveted the god mineral adamantium? Of course . But that was just secondary . The reason Grid wanted to act in the National Competition was because he was aware of his position as representative of the country .
Grid had the hopes of 50 million people and his family on him . Grid didn’t want to disappoint them . That’s right . Now Grid felt a strong sense of responsibility . It was a noble attitude that couldn’t be compared with his personal feelings during the 1st National Competition .
“Hoo . ”
Grid breathed in deeply as he stepped foot into the gate of the 41st island . His vision darkened before a new landscape unfolded in front of him . It was a serene bamboo forest .
[You have entered the 41st island . ]
[A mission will be created . ]
[41st Island]
Fight with yourself and win .
First Clear Compensation: You can raise the level of one skill .
‘There aren’t any challenger points?’
But Grid wasn’t disappointed . Grid had legendary skills that were hard to raise their levels, so he was quite pleased with a skills level up .
‘This feels like a bonus stage . ’
The mission of the 41st island was to overcome his ‘past self’ and transcend his ‘present self . ’ It felt like a test . What was at the end of the Behen Archipelago, which forced the challenger to constantly grow?
Grid wondered while looking around nervously .
Sururuk .
A person who looked exactly like Grid appeared . There were four golden hands moving around him .
‘The God Hands are recreated?’
It seemed like the copy of Grid reproduced all of Grid’s items and skills . Grid became tense . Then the clone moved to Grid’s shock and horror .
