Chapter 318: The Two People’s In-between War (2)
I had no place I could call home. If I did, it would be the pillowcase spread out in the sun every day, filled with the fresh scent of sunshine, or the top bunk bed at the orphanage. When I was young, the orphanage director used to clean my ears with a cotton swab while I laid my head on my pillow. That was my homeland, a place I could never return.
Like a broken light flickering its white breath, an alarm sounded in my head.
[You have died.]
[Your Hunter Class is S.]
[Due to the increased penalty, you get to select the order in which to activate your Skill.]
If the bedspread with a checkered pattern of lime green and yellow on the second-floor bed represented Kim Gong-Ja’s homeland, then this place was also a kind of homeland for the Death King. It was my origin in the darkness.
[1. Do you want to acquire your killer’s Skill first?]
[2. Do you want to watch your killer’s trauma recreation first?]
If I could afford to joke around a bit, maybe I could say that this was the Death King’s essence. I was a man with history: Kim Gong-Ja, the King of Death.
—Alright. Enough with denying reality. I do have a lot to say, but choose option one first. If we start with the trauma, we’re in for a whole lot of trouble.
“Damn it...”
—Yeah, I know you’re so embarrassed that you wanna stay dead, but pick option one first. You said that the trauma penalty was shitty even when you reached Class B. Now your Hunter Class is S, so you’re fucked! Come on, pick. Option one.
