Trouble Part 1

After resting for ten more minutes, Kim finally decided to go out. He stood in front of his door. His hands were still hesitating to open it.

'Huuu-Haaaa. Let's calm down! Let's use my three rules.'

'Observe- Yeosho left the house nearly one hour ago. She said she would return in half an hour but she hasn't returned yet.'

'Analyze- Who is Yeosho? She is the daughter of Mr. Nomu and Mrs. Nomu. She is beautiful, bright, and also intelligent. Her character traits say that she is loyal and extremely supportive of her loved ones.'

'Now, let's not think of this as a game. She didn't me and also had sex with me. I didn't even use those skills. That means there is a connection between her and me.'

'If I remember correctly, they met three years ago. Wait, wait, wait a fucking minute…. I remember something. Her character in the future would say a sentence 'Do you know? I loved you for three years after we met.''

'Now, this explains why she wouldn't reject me. If I loved me, why didn't she confess to me? Let's not think of this as a game. Let's be real and think of it as a normal world.'

'There are two possible reasons behind it. She was too shy to confess or she was worried about me. If I look at my past then the answer would be more clear.'

'I don't have a family. I was living in street for three years. And, I might be only a few people whose meridians are blocked which means I would never become a martial artist.'

'Let's mix all those romantic stories and theories here. From what I know, the reason why she would be worried was me. From those romantic stories and theories, I can conclude that either she is afraid of her parents rejecting me or someone who has a crush on her like those buffoons beating or much worse, killing me.'

'Now, let's connect this with my current issue. She didn't go home. If she had gone home to inform her parents about my condition, she would've returned by now.'

'She didn't leave the house because of the scent. If she had, then she would've returned as well. From the note that she wrote for me, she should have returned but she must have gotten into some kind of trouble. But, what?'

'Fuck! The answer was already in front of my fucking mind.'

Bam!

He dashed out of the room, no longer caring about the people. His speed was fast. He was ruining with all his strength.

'Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!'

'Fuck! Fuck! This wasn't something to be happening. They were supposed to come and find me. So many things are changing. I need to be more thoughtful or else, I would end up alone once again.'

At this moment, Kim's eyes turned red. Suddenly, he couldn't help but remember the days of his life inside his apartment.

Gloomy! Sad! Smelly!

His life was a mess. He still remembered getting sick and crying because he couldn't even leave the bed He still remembered sitting at the corner of the room whenever there was a Christmas and New Year.

His life was horrible. And, he was all alone. Nobody was there for him.

But not, there was someone. One day was all it took for him from being a total loser to half loser. It only took him one day.

If he was given two days. Can't he change from a total loser to an average man?

If he was given a week. Can't he change from a total loser to a better man?

Yes, he couldn't do it in his world. He couldn't even make an effort to do it. But now, he was no longer in his world. He was a new world.

So, he will change. He will become someone who wouldn't be left alone.

His eyes became more determined as he ran toward the hill. His memories didn't betray him this time. He was moving toward the exact place where Yeosho was.

And, his speed was only getting faster. He no longer cared about his stamina either. But, it wasn't long before he finally ran out of stamina. He felt like his legs were getting slower.

It had only been ten minutes but he ran so fast and so far that he had lost a lot of stamina. He was struggling. His face was melting and his body was covered in sweat.

But, it wasn't enough. He wouldn't give up. Before, he had a reason to give up. He could still live alone. That's why he decided. His pride. His brain. His unwillingness to accept himself.

All of these were forcing him to give up. But right now, they weren't there. His mind was just going blank. His body was running on his instinct. His pride was no longer there.

The first girl that he had ever touched in five years. The first girl who had sex with him. The first girl who accepted him. He might be Kim from the outside but he was still Tim from the inside.

He was still a loner who was rejected by everyone, someone who never tried to be accepted by others.

Now, he was finally accepted. His pride was crushed to the very core. It had turned to dust and left his body. His pride had already decreased by half when he realized he was in a Murim World.

Even the strongest people can't be prideful in this world. Even the strongest are devoured.

As for his unwillingness to accept himself. It was gone. The moment he entered this body and realized that he was inside a character that he made, he accepted himself.

Because this world might not be where he wanted to go but this character was definitely the one whom he wanted to be.

He created this character to be somebody that he couldn't be.

So, he instantly accepted himself. Now, all those three things were gone, he was finally pushing himself to break his limits. He was pushing himself so hard that even when he was tired, he was still running.

A minute later,

[You have overcome your physical limits]

[Your stamina has been increased by two]

[You have overcome your mental limits]

[You received a new stat 'Spiritual Power']

'Another change! But, thanks….. This time I am not going to be alone.'

Kim received a huge boost in his stamina. His body started to feel light. His speed also increased. And, a new kind of energy entered his mind. It gave him a shock for a moment which gathered his attention at it.

"Open Spiritual Power status"

[Spiritual Power- 1

Effect- Heightened Awareness, Mental Defense, Increased Comprehension]

'So, this is actually good. Heightened Aware..... I see.'

Kim closed his eyes for a moment but even though he was running, his direction didn't change at all. And, he could hear the sound of air he was passing through.

He opened his eyes after a while.

'Right now, I am not sure about Mental Defense but Increased Comprehension could help me later on. Anyway, let's focus on the road. I'm almost close to her position.'

As he got closer, he noticed the situation. The branches and the leaves were all around the place as if there was a battle. But, he noticed something. Those branches were from a small bush.

He quickly followed the path and as he got closer, his eyes finally fell on four people. At this moment, Yeosho was on the ground. Her hands were tied and tears were falling down her eyes.

She was struggling but two people were holding her hands while the other one was slowly removing his pant.

At this moment, Kim's anger soared. But, his mind was still calm. A spooky white mask appeared in one hand and a purple dagger appeared in another hand.

He put the mask on his face and held the dagger in his hand.

[You are holding a dagger]

[Your agility and dexterity have been increased by two]

Whoosh!

As soon as he clenched the hilt of his dagger, his body swiftly moved toward them. He slightly lowered his body and his dagger slashed the neck of that man.

Before he could pull down his man, Kim smacked his chest with a kick and threw him away.

"Who?"

Two brothers panicked as they didn't know what hit their third brother. They let go of Yeosho and using this moment, Kim held Yeosho in his hand and dashed away from them.

She was still struggling. Her eyes were still closed.

"It's me….. Don't cry. I am here and I won't let anyone hurt you." Kim slowed down when he felt her struggling. He understood just how much she was struggling with them.

When she heard that voice, her eyes opened instantly. She didn't see anyone. She only saw herself in the mid-air. Kim slowly put her down and removed his mask.

When he removed his mask, his body finally appeared in front of her. And, seeing him, she couldn't stop herself from crying.

"Don't cry. Just close your eyes for a moment."

Kim slowly kissed her forehead and stood up. Yeosho stopped her tears and closed her eyes. Kim turned around and slowly put his mask on. He raised his dagger and looked at the two brothers.

"Let me help you join your third brother."
