An Unexpected Encounter (Part 1)

Editor: Cherish

— We will send your Level C Player ID tomorrow to the specified address.

— Um… Can’t you give it to me right now?

— No.
Starting at level C, screening of mana stones are more thorough.
That’s why we don’t issue IDs right away.

— Oh, I see.

Earlier this morning, right after breakfast with Han Sol, Kang Yu had headed straight to the Players’ Control Office to get his Level C Gate ID.

He’d already provided the required number of mana stones, if not more.

When he walked into the building, he had first gone to the measuring machine to confirm his level and rank before attempting to receive his ID.

But there, he was told to wait for another day for his ID to be processed and delivered, which wasn’t too surprising.

‘I was going to go straight to the Level C Gate.’ Initially he was going to rest for a while after receiving the 3rd rank, but meeting with the Demon followers radically changed his plans.

He needed to find out who the Demon Teachers were, what their goal was, and how strong they were.
Until then, he needed to accumulate even more strength.

— Hm… — Kang Yu thought about going to the gate because of his newly acquired Magi.
Since his Magi level was much higher now, it would be much easier to use different Powers.

‘I should slow down.’ Kang Yu nodded confidently, overcoming his doubts.

The Demon Teachers didn’t seem to be acting right now, and it would take time to find them anyway.

You shouldn’t relax too much, but you don’t have to rush forward.

‘Perhaps it is better to take a break as planned.’ Considering the current situation, it was worth it to take a break and enjoy his stay on Earth.
‘Come to think about it, I haven’t rested a day since I got back on Earth’.

There were many things he’d wanted to do upon returning to Earth, but he had done nothing but fight in the end.

Kang Yu was suddenly seized by a passionate desire to rest.

‘But…’ Upon leaving the building in the city center, he was surrounded by a stream of people going about their business.
‘What shall I do?’

Kang Yu scratched the back of his head as he thought about it.
In fact, he was a person far from fun.

Since he used to live quite poorly, all his activities were limited to going to restaurants and reading comics on his phone at night.
And to avoid spending more money than necessary, he had chosen free comics every time.

And of course there was nothing to mention about the time spent in Hell.

He often dreamed of coming back to Earth, but never once did he wonder what he would do here.

Maybe it’s just a matter of remembering the past.

— Eh… — Kang Yu sat down at the nearest shop, immersed in his own thoughts.

‘If you think about it like that, I’ve really lived a crazy boring life.’ As he tried to remember what kinds of fun experiences he’s had, nothing came to mind.

— Hmm… A chicken or something to eat… — He drooled when he remembered the chicken and beer combo he’d recently had.

Han Sol cooked so deliciously that he couldn’t imagine eating food prepared by anyone else, but that chicken was an exception.

‘Except it’s a little early to eat.’ He’d left the house early in the morning.

So it was still a long time before lunchtime.

He could hardly find a decent place that serves chicken and beer first thing in the morning.

— Ah! — At that moment, Kang Yu came up with an idea.

There was something he hadn’t tried before.
It was a place that others often went to, while he had always envied them.

— Yes.
I should go at least once.
— Excited, he hastily got up and left the shop.

Kang Yu looked around.
If he remembered correctly, there were many places like that in the center.

‘I found it.’ When he saw the sign, his eyes sparkled.

Quickly, almost running, he went towards the sign.

[PC Bang*.
Death is like the wind that always surrounds me]

(P.P.: PC Bang — internet cafe, computer room.
In Korea, such places are equipped with powerful gaming computers and a headset.
Payment is made by the hour.
You can also buy food and drinks there).

— Finally! — Kang Yu exclaimed, looking at the sign.

He’d grown up watching his peers regularly visit PC Bang ever since he was a child, and he was madly jealous of them.

When he grew up and got a job, he couldn’t even think about going to a place like this because he had been so busy.

‘Just once, I want to try spending time at a place like this.’

In ten thousand years, he’s experienced all kinds of torment.

While in Hell, he’d never suffered a life-threatening injury.

Now that he was on Earth, he felt it was necessary to be compensated for all the suffering he had endured.

He had suffered all sorts of torments, but he had hardly had a taste of ‘fun.’ He planned to try everything he hadn’t had a chance to before.

— It’s time to go, — Kang Yu said, his voice resembling a hero ascending the battlefield as he opened the door.

The bell hanging from the door sounded when the door opened.

— Well, let’s see.
Do you have to register first and make a deposit?

For a man who came to a place like this for the first time, he quickly realized what he needed to do, registered, and went in under his name.

But after almost every successful action he joyfully exclaimed, as if he had just arrived from the village to the capital.

On the opened desktop, he clicked on the tab with drinks and food.

— Oh… Is this where you can order food? — The neatly decorated menu resembled an online grocery store.

After moments of hesitation, Kang Yu chose set A.

‘They say if you’re at PC Bang, you should take ramen.’ He’d always heard that the atmosphere here gives the ramen a very special flavour.

— Well… — Once he ordered the ramen, he moved to the games tab.

But for him, a man who’s never played video games, the choice wasn’t so easy.

‘I need to have at least a general idea about all these games.’ He flipped through the list and stopped at one of the most popular games.

By clicking on the icon with the capital letter ‘L’, a login window appeared.

— Huh? — Right after registration, an advertisement came up.

[Initial set: 5 runes, 10k IP, upgrade to level 30!]

— Ha! — Just below was shown a colorful box with all the above and indicated the cost.

‘Start at level 30, of course, is better,’ Kang Yu had no idea what kind of game it was and what to do, but the high level was clearly an advantage.

After paying for the initial set, Kang Yu entered the game.

— Support… No, I should choose someone more independent… — Kang Yu tilted his head to the side and chose a character.

In the end, he chose a magician who could control the wind.

‘Should we go that way?’ Kang Yu ran after his teammate with golden hair down the map.

1 minute and 30 seconds passed from the start of the game, and monsters started to appear in two camps.
He had one teammate, a blond, and there were two players on the opposing team too.

‘Yeah, if you get a monster, you get a monetary reward.’ Kang Yu figured it out pretty quickly.

When Kang Yu realized the value of killing monsters, he started to click on the mouse and catch monsters faster.

At that moment, a guy with golden hair wrote to the chat room:

“Why do you want to kill them?”

Kang Yu tilted his head and looked at the message with bewilderment.

[ jjanna: They give you money when you kill them.
]

“It’s not what you should be doing, *****”

[ jjanna: You can kill them too, so you’ll earn money.
]

“well, you and *** so that you *** your mother *** you ***.”

Kang Yu didn’t understand why, but his teammate was very unhappy.

— For set A, the price is 4000 won.

— Ah, thank you.
— Kang Yu took his ramen and passed the employee the money.

Looking at the steaming ramen, his eyes caught fire with passion.

‘Smells familiar.’ Ramen was the food he ate day after day during his poverty days.

He thought he’d never eat a regular ramen again, but here it felt different, more delicious than ever.

Kang Yu pierced the yolk of a framed egg with chopsticks and started pulling noodles with an appetite.

A unique, slightly exotic flavor spread throughout his mouth.

‘Delicious!’ —Kang Yu moved his character to a safe place, and the game screen turned sideways.

— Oh, the pickled radish is perfect for the ramen! — Kang Yu exclaimed in admiration, snacking on the ramen with the included radish.

Of course, the radish is no match for kimchi, but at this point, it had a certain charm.

Kang Yu with a happy smile put a piece of kimbap in his mouth.

(P.P.: Kimbap is Korean rolls in which no fish is added, with the rare exception of salad tuna).

itsreal: “Move already! Please! I’m going up after this game!”

Even though his teammate continued to write in the chat room, Kang Yu, focused on the ramen, didn’t notice it.

— It’s not that interesting.

Maybe he thought so because he’d never played a game before, but he really thought this place was useless.

— But the food is delicious.
— More than the games this place is designed for, he liked the ramen here.

For the sake of ramen, Kang Yu thought about coming here again.

When Kang Yu finished cleaning up the bowl of ramen, he opened a bottle of soda and drank it in a flash.
The cool, pleasant drink spread all over Kang Yu’s throat.

At that moment, behind Kang Yu, there was an angry scream:

— Who’s that bastard under the name of jjanna? А?!

Turning towards the scream, Kang Yu saw a girl with a short haircut, dressed in a baseball cap and standing up sharply.

Thick eyebrows and chubby lips, high nose, and snow-white skin.

Dressed in a tracksuit and cap, she looked pretty short, but that didn’t make her any less beautiful.

Kang Yu faced her with a look.

She curved her face and shouted rudely:

— What are you staring at? Is there something wrong with that? I’m not in the best mood, so don’t talk to me…

She suddenly stopped talking when she saw the image on Kang Yu’s monitor.

— Huh? — Not believing her eyes, she looked first at her monitor and then at Kang Yu’s monitor and back.

When she kept looking back and forth, she smiled unhappily.
