Chapter 121: Eobbo (Karma)
There is a word called ‘eobbo’.
Fundamentally, it originates from the Buddhist concept of karma, but it’s not anything complicated.
If you do wrong, you get punished. If you do good, you get rewarded.
This basic concept of rewards and punishments according to good and evil is like an instinct of humans to maintain the collective, and thus, karma has existed in every era, East or West, in various forms and names.
A person who accumulates good deeds in life goes to heaven, a warrior who dies bravely in battle enjoys eternal glory on the battlefield, or a writer who meets the daily quota sips whiskey bought after great determination and watches a VTuber stream all night.
At a glance, it seems like a very good concept. But remember this. People are always prone to evil, and there are no exceptions to karma.
Those who commit evil will burn in hell, cowards will rot away meaninglessly in the inferno, and writers who stayed up all night drinking and watching VTuber videos will suffer from the looming deadline.
And those who manipulate probabilities will likewise suffer from manipulated odds.
