sea of afterlife.
Kang Tae-sik's soul was falling into the darkness with no end in sight..
‘……Is this death?.’
The moment of pain was short, but the moment of death was extremely long..
In a moment).
The abyss that seemed to last forever was dragging his soul down..
In the continuing fall, Kang Tae-sik's soul... … I was watching the flashlight.
The fragments of his life were unfolding before him like a panorama..
And at every moment, he was harming someone's life..
‘kill, kill, kill…….’
Suddenly, Kang Tae-sik looked down at his blood-soaked hands..
Yes.
Since awakening this ability, he has killed many people with his own two hands..
There was never a day when the blood would dry on these hands..
Even when I thought about it, I really thought I was crazy... … It was fun.
But even so, the period is only 2 years.
Although he had been caught by the police for committing petty crimes before, it was only two years before he became a villain hunter in earnest and began to enjoy killing..
……but.
Clap la la la rock!
As the flashes of light continued, Kang Tae-sik's appearance in those memories became increasingly younger..
And at the end, the ‘memory of that day’ was finally revealed..
‘……Yeah, that was the beginning.’
For a moment, a blue glow appeared in the eyes of Kang Tae-sik, who was falling into the abyss of death..
flashing!
At that moment, he saw a beaten boy in front of him..
-You bastard! If only you weren’t there! die! die! die! die! I mean, get out and fall down.!
-Argh! Ah, Dad… … ! I was wrong! Argh! please! It hurts so much… … ! Ouch!
broken liquor bottle.
narrow and messy room.
There, there was a small boy being trampled mercilessly by a very drunk man..
In those memories, the boy's body was always covered in bruises, and he was always crying out loud..
It hurts.
Stop hitting me.
I was wrong.
But the more I did it, the more my father's kicks became stronger..
After years of harsh beatings, the boy finally realized.
In order to avoid being beaten by my father more,.
I need to be strong.
The first way to become stronger is to stop crying.
-Turn it off! Turn it off……!
No matter how painful or scary it was, if I covered my mouth and held back even the screams that were trying to escape, my father's beatings lessened. very little.
And I had to kill him as much as possible..
So as not to offend my father.
No, I had to become completely invisible..
If you make a sound, your father will wake up..
Then my father will drink again.
Then again… … Because I'm going to beat myself up..
So, I had to stay at home as much as possible as if I wasn't there..
He held his breath so that his strong and scary father's anger would not be directed at him..
Then suddenly.
‘……ah.’
The boy realized.
The fact that there is the easiest and simplest way to avoid being beaten.
‘Ah, this is fine..’
Why didn't I realize it??
It was supposed to be like this from the beginning..
So, seven-year-old Kang Tae-sik.
with those two small hands.
‘killed my father.’
That was the ‘first murder’ committed by Kang Tae-sik..
And surprisingly, no one knew about it until now..
No, no one was curious in the first place.
No one could have imagined that that little seven-year-old kid would have murdered his own father..
The police and doctors.
Everything happens by accident.
It ended up being just a drunkard getting into an accident..
……and so.
The boy who erased the existence of his father from the world through his own power looked down at his blood-soaked hands and realized:.
‘I am strong.’
Yes.
It turns out that he was strong.
Enough to kill that scary father..
When Kang Tae-sik realized that fact, he was overcome with pleasure so intense that he shivered..
Ah, yes.
Just kill it and that's it..
No matter how scary a person is.
Even a strong person.
‘Because everyone dies!’
From then on, Kang Tae-sik was not afraid of anything..
Because I am stronger now.
Because I could kill anyone if I wanted to..
Of course, they were not criminals who were crazy about murder, and they had no intention of killing anyone..
He just… … I just realized that murder is an option as a way to solve problems..
As time passed, a cataclysm occurred on Earth..
Demonic beasts appeared.
Kang Tae-sik was lucky enough to awaken as a hunter, and when he saw the demonic beasts coming out of the dungeon and brutally tearing people to death, he sighed..
‘What is it, they are no different from demonic beasts?.’
It just looks a little unusual.
In the end, isn't killing someone something that anyone can do, regardless of whether they are a demonic beast or not?.
No, in the first place, there were far more people who died from the same humans than those who died from demonic beasts throughout human history.?
To be honest, I was steamed..
But that was then.
‘The president of the association came to see him.
-Taesik Kang. I had an awakening not long ago?
-……What is it? I've been quiet these days?
-know. That's why I came here.
-What are you talking about, you old man??
At first, I was shocked by his sudden visit..
Woo Jin-cheol, the president of the association, was a detective who personally shackled both wrists in the past when he committed minor crimes..
But then they suddenly set up a strange organization like the Hunter Association, and...?
-I was thinking about what to do with you, and a good idea came to me..
Chairman Woo Jin-cheol smiled meaningfully at himself and immediately made a strange suggestion..
-Taesik Kang, I created a certificate for you called ‘Association Certified Bounty Hunter’..
-what is that?
-So to speak, it's a government-sanctioned license to kill..
-……Are you sane??
-why? Is that why you don’t like it??
-…….
Of course, I didn't like that unlucky face a little because I had no doubt that he would accept my offer..
In the end, Kang Tae-sik could not resist Woo Jin-cheol's proposal..
Because honestly, it was attractive..
These are people you can kill..
They give you money if you commit murder..
‘okay. Killing people is much easier and more fun than killing monsters..’
That's how Kang Tae-sik became a bounty hunter, and over the past two years, he killed hundreds of villains with his own hands..
‘Hehehe. I killed so many people.’
Kang Tae-sik's soul, wandering the sea after death, chuckled as he watched each and every moment of the many murders..
But why?.
As their deaths piled up in the blinding light, Kang Tae-sik's soul was becoming more and more buried in the darkness..
In the darkness, hundreds of hands came out and dragged Kang Tae-sik's soul deeper and deeper like evil spirits..
‘Let go, you bastards! It's suffocating! Breathing... … Wow……!’
When I looked again, it was a pit that Kang Tae-sik had created with his own hands..
And that was then.
[Cluck cluck. What a delicious-looking evil spirit..]
‘……!’
Kang Tae-sik's soul suddenly trembled at the sound of the old man's laughter echoing from beyond the darkness..
An instinctive feeling of rejection came over me..
At that moment, Kang Tae-sik realized.
The fact that his soul is now caught in the middle of a magic circle made of red threads.
The witch doctor grabbed Kang Tae-sik's soul like a spider's web and did not let go..
and.
[come here. I will personally turn you into a demonic spirit..]
Suddenly, a thin old man's hand appeared from the darkness and grabbed his hair..
‘Wow!……!’
At that moment, a sharp pain struck me as if my limbs were being torn apart..
Kang Tae-sik let out a terrible scream and struggled desperately to escape from the giant old man's hands..
But even that was just entertainment for the old man..
[Cluck cluck. That's a good scream. It is the perfect material for making magic spirits..]
‘Wow!!’
[okay. doing well. You are chewing up and swallowing all the sins you have committed with your own hands. The process may be painful, but if you endure it,…….]
Beyond the darkness, the old man smiled, showing his white teeth..
[……Because you will be reborn as a completely corrupted soul who will feel that pain forever.!]
――――――!
Eventually, the red magic circle was completed..
The old man's huge hand grabbed Kang Tae-sik's soul and lifted it up..
[Hehehe! Now you fallen demon! now you are my……!]
It was then.
-wake up.
A ray of darkness that came down from a high place illuminated Kang Tae-sik's soul..
Damn it!
The power of darkness tore apart the red magic circle..
[What is this?……!]
The old man burst out in confusion and lost the hand that was holding Kang Tae-sik's soul..
‘Ah, this power…….’
Kang Tae-sik, who was forcibly dragged up into the darkness, trembled in a different way..
‘Well, what is this memory?…….’
Suddenly, memories from my past life that had been completely buried in my memory began to emerge like a flash of light..
For some reason, even in those memories... … He was covered in blood and dying..
And in front of me as I was dying, I saw a man coldly looking down at me..
-Let me ask you just one question.
As I faced those cool eyes, I asked myself this..
-What the hell are you? Assassination class has healing magic... … Moreover, I've never heard of it being able to use debuff magic..
But to his own question, the man was asking more questions than answering..
-……If I'm a hunter who grows every time I fight, how strong do you think I can become??
-her…….
Kang Tae-sik couldn't help but laugh at that absurd question..
Are you asking because you don't know that?.
-Your shadow... … It's connected to the darkness.
Death is strength.
-As deep as that... … I will become stronger.
Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
two deaths.
two lives.
At the end, eventually…….
Kang Tae-sik's soul walked out into the world again..
[Shadow Assassin Lv.1]
knight rank
Shwaaaaagh.
[……Great shadow.]
Kang Tae-sik, who was reborn as an assassin with black vapor wafting from his entire body, approached Su-ho, who had called him, and got down on one knee and bowed his head..
Then, with an even more ruthless spirit shining in his eyes, he asked in an extremely polite manner..
[Who can I kill?.]
“…….”
and thought.
Suho’s eyes looking down at himself like this from above…….
The look in his eyes is very similar to that of the man who once killed him..
Soon, Suho's cold gaze turned to the numerous villains attacking from all directions..
They are murderers who killed all the innocent people living in this village and took over the village..
There was no mercy for them..
“entire. kill it.”
[……As ordered.]
The moment the guardian's order was given.
The shadow assassin, Kang Tae-sik, disappeared on the spot..
