Chapter 3: <Episode 3>The dream machine's gift
"Huh?!" My eyes flashed with
a short scream . At the same time, a cold winter wind blew through his body .
"This, this… … ."
Seo Joo-hwan trembled as he saw the scenery that came into his eyes. Young men in their 20s dressed in familiar military patterns are looking at him with puzzled eyes . To make matters worse, the young men even had K-2 rifles in their hands . "Seo Snake, why are you like this?" "Sergeant Seo Joo-hwan?" Voices were heard from all directions. He saw young men who had diagonally applied brown, black, and green cream across his face . When I saw the candy -like camouflage cream, swear words came out.
"Fuck."
he had to admit
'염라 이 개새끼야… … .'
He said he had returned to active service.
*
Seo Joo- hwan was a person who had no ties to luck because of wrongly assigned karma before returning . In other words, it meant misfortune, but in other words , it meant building a wall with luck. Because of this, he was prudent in everything , did not wish for luck , and was a person who wanted to be recognized for his skills . Thanks to that, I heard that he was overly cautious , but his skills were stable and his mistakes were rare. He didn't get a fair evaluation because of his innate misfortune ... … .
Anyway, Seo Joo-hwan, who had been like that , was making mistakes now . Not to mention the sluggish movements, even standing in the aisle as if he didn't know what to do. It was as if he was not doing enough with his own business and was interfering with others .
In the end, it was only natural for the company commander to scream.
"Seo Joo-hwan, what are you doing!"
A high-pitched voice rang out sharply . In
a male-dominated army , a female high-pitched tone drew attention at once. Jung So-ra, realizing
her mistake, touched her forehead as if in pain . "ha."
She has refrained from speaking in a high tone unique to women in a group called the military. Especially in such a bad situation , she was extra careful. As a woman, there were many things to be aware of in order to serve in the military . Jeong So-ra spoke again in a calmer tone than before .
"Juhwan-ah, you are the oldest and the squad leader. Where is the guy who should be leading the kids losing his mind ? I hope you're not deliberately resisting. Why, since I was trained in my later years, I can't eat because I'm annoyed?"
His voice lowered, but his tone sharpened. At those words, even the soldiers who were not involved in the attack were afraid. In fact, a few weeks ago, there was an incident in which some of the younger members of the other company were very upset when they said they would use their vacation during the training week . 'As soon as you return, you'll start cursing me .'
In fact, from Seo Joo-hwan's point of view, it was very unfortunate . Just a moment ago, he was envisioning a hopeful future for his returning life . He did, but suddenly returned to his military days. And that, of course, because the time zone is undergoing cold weather training . Besides, I felt a sharp pain all over my body, as if I had been hit somewhere .
It was a situation where I could n't come to my senses even if it was anyone other than him .
"no! sorry!"
However, this was the military, and the military was a place that did not listen to each individual's circumstances . In the current situation, the answer was simply to say sorry without an excuse .
"you… no. Let's calm down and get things sorted out."
"yes! I will come to my senses !"
"The answer is good. Let's act well, too."
"yes! I will do my best!"
"Okay, so hurry up and help the kids."
"yep! steel!"
"her… ."
He gave a vigorous salute and shook his cheeks, so he laughed in vain, as if he had lost his spirits.
'Did he have a side like this?'
For a while, she wondered at the sight she hadn't seen before , and she quickly caught up and began organizing the supplies.
*
Seo Joo-hwan worked hard as if to make up for his mistake . As he, the oldest, moved swiftly like a new recruit, the movements of his successors also sped up. Thanks to that, the material cleanup was over quickly. Jung So-ra said with a satisfied face, probably because it was finished faster than expected .
"Everyone suffered. Everyone, go to the dormitory, unpack your luggage , and erase your camouflage. The shower sequence will be broadcast from the command and control room, so let's do it then."
"yep!"
"Juhwan, you unpack all your stuff and come down and report any unusual matters."
"Yes, I see!"
Jeong So-ra headed to the command and control room, and the soldiers went up to the dormitory.
Seo Joo-hwan was also about to go up, but someone caught him. Looking back , the soldier who was organizing supplies with him saw him and said.
"Seo Bam, let the kids go first, how about a cigarette? "
It was natural since they belonged to the same company, but it was a familiar face. However, from Seo Joo-hwan's point of view, it was the first face he had seen in 10 years, so he couldn't immediately remember who it was . Then, when I saw the rank and name, I realized who the soldier was .
'Lee Jung-hoon? Ah, Jung Hoon hyung!'
Lee Jung-hoon was the right successor with a gap of about four months, but he was three years older than Seo Joo-hwan. And he was one of the few people he liked while serving in the military . Anyway, after I was discharged , I contacted him several times , but Seo Joo- hwan stopped contacting me.
click.
The two lit a cigarette and took a deep sip . Seo Joo-hwan exclaimed with admiration at the taste of his first cigarette after he was revived . Seeing this, Lee Jung-hoon smiled and said. "haha. Is it that delicious? After all , smoking cigarettes after training is really sweet . right?" "yes. The frustrating things go down quickly."
Seo Joo-hwan accepted Lee Jung-hoon's short words regardless. Because he had stopped talking about this time. And when the two of them were together, he treated Lee Jung-hoon with respect. Lee Jung-hoon told me to speak casually, but given the age difference, this was more comfortable.
"By the way, bro."
"huh?" "Didn't you call
because you had something to say ?"
"… Did you notice it ?"
"Yeah, the other kids smoke too, so I didn't bother calling me."
"haha. It's nothing special, just cheer up. Don't worry too much about getting blacked out in front of the kids today ."
Lee Jung-hoon speaks with a shy smile. He tapped Seo Ju-hwan on the shoulder as if to cheer up .
As Seo Joo- hwan looked at Lee Jeong-hoon, memories of his old days came to his mind .
'Jeong-hoon and his older brother often took care of him.'
In terms of seniority and succession, Seo Ju-hwan was the most senior and the squad leader, but the three-year age difference was not going anywhere . Moreover, at this time, he was only a squad leader, but he was in a state of considerable intimidation during his military life .
' It's a body that carries misfortune, but since we've been living together for over a year ... … .' It was natural for bad rumors to spread
within the unit . That's why he was harassed not only by his seniors but also by his executives , and his successors also didn't want to get involved with him very much . Had it not been for Lee Jung-hoon, who took care of him, the tragedy might have happened . However, Seo Joo-hwan now is a different person than he was then. Before his return, he was 32 years old, and although it was short, he had been working in a company and had a social life. Crucially, the misfortune that had followed him like a curse had disappeared. Seo Joo-hwan deliberately said indifferently , as if not to worry . "are you okay.
What did I do wrong?"
"… okay?"
"yes."
"Then I'm glad... ."
"haha. What do you do with something like this? If you make a mistake, you might be criticized . "
Lee Jung-hoon looked at him and made a slightly surprised expression. It was because the Seo Joo-hwan he knew was the type of person who couldn't be bold enough to pass this on .
"Go up. If I'm late after watching it, I'll get scolded again."
"Ugh. okay." Lee Jung-hoon looked at the back of Seo Ju- hwan,
who was running ahead, with a puzzled expression.
*
Seo Joo-hwan quickly adapted and accepted the reality. Currently, he was lying in the dormitory after taking a shower as well as reporting unusual matters .
'Where did you return to the sergeant ?'
If King Yeomra had used humanity for one more year , it would have been a big deal . How lucky he is to think so. Rather, it was good for my mental health to think of it as an opportunity to calmly organize my thoughts .
'By the way , what was that ? I think it was some kind of system .'
Seo Joo-hwan recalled the time of his return.
Immediately after his return , a certain message appeared before his eyes . It was the real reason why Seo Joo-hwan couldn't come to his senses quickly and was frozen . 'Ah, it was the same name as the demon god . It's definitely a Rust system... ' A message appears as if he had been waiting for that moment . […] The update has been completed.] [Part of the Lust System has been activated.] [Status window has been activated.] [Start package has been received.] [Tutorial quest has arrived.] 『Get to know the system (1)』 ▶ Open your inventory and use the start package. Compensation: None.
My eyes widen at the sudden message. Seo Joo-hwan calmed his startled mind and stood up.
"Guys, if someone finds me, say I went to the bathroom."
"yes."
"All right."
Seo Joo-hwan went into the bathroom and looked at the message again.
'Come to think of it, the demon god said he would give you a gift, right?'
It seemed that this system was a gift from the Demon God . Seo Joo-hwan decided to follow the words of the message.
"Inventory."
Along with the horse, the inventory that was only seen in games appeared as a translucent window .
[ You can store only items obtained through the system in your inventory.] [Items can be used just by thinking without opening the inventory .]
A message like help followed.
' Enable start package .'
Tring! [ I used
the start package .]
[Blessing, Dream Demon's Blessing (60) has been applied.]
[Blessing, Blessing of Helchang (60) has been applied.]
[Item, random skill box acquired.]
[Item, skill up coupon (B) acquired.]
The message came to mind.
The last message that came to mind was a quest that seemed to be an extension of the previous quest .
『 Get to know the system (2)』
▶ Check the items and blessings received from the package .
▶ Use the items received from the package . ▶ Check
the status window, skills, blessings, and talents. Compensation: None.
Quests were literally as detailed and kind as the game's tutorials . Seo Joo-hwan proceeded calmly one by one following the message of the system . 'Use random skill box.' [ Used a random skill box .] [ Acquired the skill, pheromone .]
'Pheromone?'
Just by looking at the name, exactly what It's hard to know if it's a skill . As he checked his skills, he opened all the windows he could summon right now .

Seo Joo-hwan's eyes moved without rest to accept the information that came to him all at once . Fortunately , he reads the lines fairly quickly, so he was able to read them all in no time . But as soon as he finished reading the text, a new message came to his mind. 『Activate the Lust System!』▶ The current desire system is not fully activated . Fully activate the desire system
to unlock locked features . Requirements : Have sex with any woman . Additional condition: Have sex with a woman other than a prostitute . ▶ Reward: Full activation of the system . ▶ Additional achievement reward: 1,000LP.
"haha… … ."
Finally, Seo Joo-hwan let out a laugh.
' Looks like I've been given a huge amount .'
The abilities and blessings already obtained are amazing , but they say there are more hidden features . At this point, the embarrassing feelings subsided and I began to look forward to what more features there would be. My heart thumped with excitement as if I had won the lottery . 'But why are the quest completion conditions like this?'
Come to think of it , did I say that it was not just a demon god, but a dream demon god ? If you think about it, it may not be such a sudden condition . Looking back, the name was Lust.
'… Should I go on vacation and go to a business?'
Naturally, he was a maternal soloist.
At the age of 30, there was not even a tent set up, so what can I say ?
At least now, I was relieved that it was before I had erectile dysfunction .
