Life Howling Chapter 36

Sung-Jin approached slowly and grabbed onto Sung-Hwan.

“Sung...Sung-Hwan, wake up you stupid!”

He begins crying denying the fact that his best friend had died right in front of him.

Yoon-Ji and Hye-Won didn’t look so well either. That’s when something happened.

Ppappappak.

The wall began changing to white far away. 4th round had finally finished. 

I turned to look at Hye-Won.

“Send me a message at 010-x.x.xx-x.x.xx! Got it? It’s 010-x.x.xx-x.x.xx!”

Hye-Won nodded in response. Soon after, we were all swallowed by the light, and I was the only one left in the white room.

“Sigh…”

This is exhausting. It’s just too much. Being tired beyond belief is one thing, but I was just too worn out mentally.

These were the texts that appeared on the wall. Automatically, I noticed that something was off. There were too few points...especially, compared to the Third Test.

“Don’t tell me I was able to earn a lot of points by cheating in during the Third Test…” That is a possibility. I couldn’t exclude that out. I mean, how else would I have been able to stack up so many points? And, it was my fault that the Thief and the Warrior died.

Wait, the Warrior died from getting torn to bits by zombies… so I can’t say that’s my fault.

Just now.

I was thinking back to when I was fighting the Undead Knight. He was incredibly fast and unbelievably strong. His armor didn’t make it any easier for us to do any damage either.

How could we win against something like that again? What are we going to do when monsters that are even stronger starts appearing?

A text appeared. Yeah… if I want to survive, racking up on defenses are going to be the difference between life and death. I’m also going to need my DIvine Power to recover faster on top of having a tougher body. 
“Purchase Body Reinforcement.”

Pahhht.

Light swallows my whole body.

“Body Reinforcement Lv 2 purchased.”

Another light swallowed me whole.

“Body Reinforcement Lv 3 purchased.”

My body had gone through some changes. I could feel my muscles feeling stronger, and body was leaner. I could feel it. My body was at least 3 times stronger than before.

Body Reinforcement Lv 1 costs 10P. Lv 2 costs 50P. Lv 3 costs 250. Total of 310P faded away. But, they were worth every point.

With the changes, I felt as if I could take that Long Sword with one hand without any problems. These new upgrades made me feel stronger than when I had used Steel Body.

Now, it’s time for more decisions….

Should I toughen up my body even more by purchasing Steel Body? Or, purchase some battle gear
. What should I do?

This is where the road splits into two. If I was to purchase battle gear, I’m going to have to keep purchasing them, not to mention having to get relevant skills to use them. ALthough I did purchase a skill that was used with battle gears...I don’t want to feel that I made the wrong mistake when it comes to investing. What should I do?

In games, having good gear is key, but this is reality and battle gears can sustain damage, and in worst cases, get lost… but considering performance… battle gears are the way to go.

I can buy them in the next Text. Wait, wait, wait. Skills can be used in the real world as well.

“Purchase Steel Body up to Lv 3.”

Out of curiousity, I wanted to know if it could be done. And, it was. My Steel Body jumped to level 3 in an instant.

I only have 204 points remaining now. Since I learned some skills… I’m going to skip on the armor. But, I will need weapons… the thing I learned from fighting today is that… guns are irrelevant.

There are too many d.a.m.n enemies to shoot them down one by one. Aiming for their head doesn’t work either. What moves them are the dark smoke inside them. 

Simply put, that Dark Smoke is equivalent to my Divine Power. It basically means that they can still move even without their head on their shoulders. 

Of course, a living lifeform would not be like them. Which brings me to ask another question…. Just how much more of the Undead am I going to have to endure? At this point, I’m starting to think it’s not a bad idea to be getting a gun.
But… I can’t afford to waste these points. A single point is worth 100,000 won in the real world, but the only way to earn it are through these battles.

Should I consider the option of earning cash in the real world to invest in this place? What should I do?

I’ll need to think about how I can make money in my world. 

As for weapons, I can purchase guns abroad but… it’s not like I can actually get away with it. I don’t even have the time to go overseas. I might as well get it now.

Only problem is that there are so many variances with these weapons, as the battles themselves. Let me get a gun, and some explosives on the side…

“Gun.”

A long list of guns appeared. Regardless of their specs, every single gun came with a price tag of 5P.

I wonder if they’re like the guns in the real world? Whatever. The real problem is going to be the ammunition…
