Ch 1
prologue
Jaejoo Kim slowly stretched out and got up from the small studio.
[2:09pm]
When I saw the time displayed on my habitually lifted smartphone, my heart was agitated.
Originally, it was a busy time as a representative of a medium-sized mart where I had been working for two years.
Jaejoo Kim quickly unlocked the lock screen and opened the X Tube app.
“Let’s see… Something worth seeing today…”
Most of the recently uploaded videos are related to the Awakening.
What stands out among them is the latest video of the popular X tuber.
Without hesitation, I clicked the video.
[hello. It is red ginseng that delivers only quick and accurate information to you!]
The man in the video started walking around with a microphone in the center of the downtown area.
[Excuse me. I came out on the X tube red ginseng channel, can I interview you if it’s okay?]
The young woman’s eyes widened.
[Great! Red ginseng, right? I hit the subscribe button!]
[haha. thank you Then the interview is ok?]
[Absolutely.]
[The subject of this video is ‘People’s perception of the awakened people’]
[yes. yes.]
[What do you think of the Awakened?]
[Of course he is a hero. hero. Clearing the tower with a 1 in 100,000 chance is something no one can do.]
[Yes.]
[Besides, if the person who made a great contribution to the development of modern human civilization through magic engineering is not a hero, who would be a hero?]
After that, the video was fast-forwarded as chatter about the channel introduction continued.
The next interview target was a young man.
[Aren’t celebrities funny? If you’re bored, scandals, accidents happen, and you fix them. Even then, it is bittersweet to see the news that they make billions of dollars a month.]
Kim Jae-joo, an ordinary little citizen, frowned as if he were an awakened person.
[hello!]
This time, a middle-aged man.
[I think a fundamental solution to the tower is needed rather than the Awakened.]
[Could you give me a specific example?]
[Even those who have cleared the tower keep their mouths shut about the tower, and 1 million people around the world are kidnapped to the tower every year, but the government has not come up with any solution.]
The video ended with an interview with a middle-aged man.
‘Do other people think so?’
Jaejoo Kim hesitated, waving the scroll on the screen of his old smartphone up and down.
Eventually, I got down and checked the comments.
– That’s right haha It’s no wonder the government is incompetent now.
-? If it were you, what would you do with a tower that wouldn’t scratch even after pouring high explosives?
– I’m always cheering for you, Red Ginseng! Thanks for the great video today!
-Is this a country where the country’s military power is divided by the number of Awoken?
-Honestly, sorcery engineering is oji, but because of that, life has become easier haha.
-Now, are celebrities x awakened couples a national rule?
The comment box was confused with advocates and critics of the Awakened.
“Say it. Say it.”
Jaejoo Kim sighed and pressed back.
Then, it went into the library where you can watch the pre-downloaded videos without data.
“How many floors do you want to see today?”
Obviously, he was not much different from the people in the interview or the group commenting until a few years ago.
「Kim Jaejoo Tower 1st floor break through.」
「Kim Jaejoo hidden reward.」
「Jaejoo Kim . . . . . . . .
Until he got his hands on a video with everything about the tower.
The main character in the video.
It was Jaejoo Kim himself.
