Chapter 40: Jang Seok Hyun (1)

Chapter 40: Jang Seok Hyun (1)

Jang Seok-hyun, a man with a history of 12 criminal offenses, is nothing short of a disgrace.

While most of his crimes were petty, such as theft or harassment, there were also grave offenses like rape and murder.

Well, even if I cause a ruckus, it will be just a couple of years in prison, and thatll be it.

Though he boasted about causing trouble, the reality of prison life wasnt as tough as he claimed.

Sometimes, he even longed for the meals served in jail.

During moments of hardship, he would contemplate committing a crime to end up in prison, hoping to escape the struggles of daily life. In fact, the thought crossed his mind more than a dozen times.

Isnt it great how guys like me can lead such a comfortable life in this country? Do whatever you want while being drunk, and get a reduced sentence. Ha-ha!

Not only did they offer reduced sentences, but they also looked after the rights of criminals.

In prison, they provided regular meals funded by the taxpayers.

Being young was an advantage, too.

Back in middle school, he had killed a classmate after bullying him relentlessly.

He took his life without a second thought

But just because I was young, I only spent two years behind bars.

Of course, now at the age of 29, he couldnt afford to be as reckless as before.

Still, isnt it great that committing petty crimes like theft or harassment is so easy?

Especially this year, life had become even better.

That was because he had become a player, someone with unique abilities.

When I was fighting for my life against goblins in the first round, I couldnt help but wonder how I ended up in such a ridiculous situation

But now, his perspective had changed.

He found himself feeling grateful to a higher power.

Utilizing my abilities makes committing crimes even more enjoyable, hehe.

The Rune of Luminescence.

It was the rune Jang Seok-hyun had acquired early on in the first round.

With a single touch, it would illuminate his body, leaving his opponent blinded.

Its a rune thats perfect for committing crimes.

Using the Rune of Luminescence, he could blind his victims and commit acts of harassment without fear of being reported.

Although it had a cooldown, lasting only ten seconds, it was still useful for evading surveillance cameras.

This is fantastic. The ability to act as I please in this situation is simply marvelous. Hehe!

It almost felt like a gift tailored specifically for him by a divine being.

In the past, life was so dull that it didnt matter if I lived or died

But now, everything had changed.

He was determined to survive, to fully embrace his abilities.

Still, I managed to survive until the third round.

Although he hadnt reached level 9 yet, denying him the opportunity to choose a job, it didnt bother him.

After all, he had the Rune of Luminescence.

As long as I have this rune, I can indulge in a life akin to paradise.

Oh, yes!

How old are you? You look quite young.

Ah Im 32.

Oh, so youre not a player?

No. I suppose Im fortunate in that regard.

Could you share your number? Im quite interested in you.

Pardon?

The cafe owner wore a bewildered expression at Jang Seok-hyuns audacious request.

Haha, just kidding. Just kidding.

Jang Seok-hyun scanned her from head to toe, flashing a mischievous smile.

A cafe owner she

Not only did her face captivate him, but her figure was also impressive.

He chuckled inwardly, yet the cafe owner seemed to furrow her brows, seemingly troubled.

Is there a problem? Jan Soek-hyun suddenly said.

Huh?

Why are you giving me that look?

Oh, well

Is my face dirty or something?

Huh?

Damn, you suddenly seem rather displeased. Are you disgusted by the stubble on my face?

Jang Seok-hyuns annoyance became apparent as he blinked his eyes.

Since you find it gross, just give me the coffee to go. Its because my ugly face wont be good to have in your coffee shop.

I-I sincerely apologize for my behavior customer, Ill Ill arrange a refund for you.

Caught off guard by the unexpected situation, the cafe owner nervously refunded back the payment.

Jang Seok-hyun accepted the money without a backward glance and left.

These women, judge people solely based on appearances.

Angry and genuinely upset, Jang Seok-hyun chose his target.

Ill make her pay for underestimating me.

He planned to assault the cafe owner, forcing her to cry and beg for mercy.

But thatll have to wait for another day

He set the execution date three days later, on Friday, March 4th.

First, he needed to determine the locations of the CCTV cameras and familiarize himself with the cafe owners daily routine.

He also had to find a suitable location for the crime.

But I have no intention of going to prison just yet.

Jang Seok-hyuns twisted smile grew even more pronounced.
