Rise, Strongest Warrior Chapter 5

"Correct. It's a monster."

"The thing shown on this video is a monster. It's also the reality you have to face the moment you get up from the bed."

After that, Domin started speaking about more complicated things.

Domin explained the reasons and circ.u.mstances, also revealing the aftermaths Igeon would have to face and his personal ideas regarding it.

What Domin was disclosing was something very important.

'The important point is the ability-user and the monster.'

"That's why the longer you are unable to move, the larger my expectations become"

It was unbelievable but, there were creatures out there that were openly hostile to humans.

Igeon didn't need a long period of time to digest the fact.

There were monsters in this world.

Then is humankind prey for those monsters?

Ability-users.

"Then I guess you wouldn't know when I can get up."

"There is a way to revive my parents?"

"You can't become full on the first bite. Though we discussed about revival, it's not such an easy task. Even just getting up and adapting will take a long time."

The only part you can move is the area above the neck.

It was a simple truth, and for the sake of saving his parents, Igeon understood that he had to become an ability-user, and that he had to adhere to Domin's demands right now.

"I can't even move my hand right now."

Domin laughed with his cold eyes.

But he laughed together with him.

Also,

Not even being able to wriggle was tougher than he thought.
Igeon wished to be able to move his body, even if it was only a day faster.

'At least give me a TV.'

'It's to the point it's become agonising.'

Silence and a nurse who refuses to answer or shows any signs of humanity to is the only one who comes and goes.

Ironically, Igeon was about to go crazy from this confined life rather than from the trauma of his parents' death.

As one day, then two days pa.s.sed, the things he eagerly wanted such as a TV, computer or smartphone became much simpler.

'I hope Domin-hyung comes. Please come. Please come.'

At first, he called him Sir Kim Domin, Mr. Kim Domin, and somewhere along the lines Igeon started addressing him as Domin hyung.

His mind was clearly fatigued.

The closed door he stared at all day, had opened.

Igeon accidentally mumbled aloud.

It wasn't Kim Domin. It was someone he was unfamiliar with.

"Kim Domin doesn't have a soft enough personality to deserve to be called 'hyung'. Especially during work"

With a short, rough black moustache and long grey coat, he looked relatively handsome with his slim body and tall height.

"Anyways who put that mechanism on the door? Are they trying to tell the people coming and going that I'm here?"

If he didn't stop him it seemed like he would only incessantly talk nonsense then disappear without a trace.

Also Igeon was relieved rather than being fearful of the man's ident.i.ty.

To Igeon who had sealed his lips for over a week, he was delighted.

"Yes!"

'That doesn't seem like the att.i.tude of a child who lost his parents.'

But on the outside he feigned calmness. Truthfully, today he only came to see the child Yoo Igeon because he was curious.

'He's being overly friendly.'

'Well, it's not like my intuition is correct all the time.'

It was like rain for a drought.

So Igeon told the man about everything without hesitation.

"That's right."

The man had a good att.i.tude as a listener, while commenting with witty replies in between.

'But would one avert my eyes because of that?'

Although Igeon was young and innocent, he wasn't stupid.

He continued listening to Igeon, neglecting to sit down upon just noticing that Igeon quickly turned his line of sight to the chair.

Igeon realised that a person can express themselves or instruct someone with just their face.

"What a fast suggestion…"

Then he took out his smartphone from his pocket and checked the time.

His question came as late as his suggestion to sit did.

"My name is Cha Seungwon. I work in the same place as Domin"

'It seems like they are close.'

"If you have already heard about ability-users, should I give you an interesting quiz?"

"The period an ability-user is paralysed is called 'warm-up', so what do you think the longest amount of days a person was in the warm-up period for?
It was a question that came out of nowhere, but he was curious because it was it was relevant to him.
