The Protagonists Are Murdered by Me

Chapter 103



Fire Spirit Hwarereuk was one among the many spirits that worked in Yoo Seodam’s garden. His main job was to grow cabbage. His other jobs were still related farming (tomato, corn, potato, strawberry, pepper, wheat, barley, radish, etc.).

For Hwarereuk, farming was a truly enjoyable and rewarding job. Was there any better job than raising lives with your own hands? Hwarereuk took pride on his work, because whenever these vegetables grow, the energy inside the Floating garden would be replenished.

“Hey Hwarereuk. Things going well?”

“Hey Zorrereuk, you came?”

The water spirit, Zorrereuk, came to the field where Hwarereuk was working. He, too, was one of the farmers working here, and his side job… Well, it was too long to tell you about his side job, so, let’s omit it.

(T/N It’s not me… The raw really said that.

E/N: I wouldn’t hold it against you if you did so lol)

“The harvest is really good these days.”

The ‘these days’ Hwarereuk and Zorrereuk said, refers to days after Yoo Seodam took control of the dimension. All the spirits inside the floating garden were so happy they could die. Originally, all Yoo Seodam wanted to do was make the spirits work for his sake, but ironically, it had become an act of invigorating the dying spirits.

“I would like to be with the fruits all my life.”

“The same is true for me.”

While Hwarreuk and Jorrereuk were busy tending vegetables and fruits for four seasons, dozens of people suddenly appeared next to the Vinyl house and the paddy fields.

With two women, Ye Sa-hye and Ha Sun-young at the forefront, a whopping number of 50 men were jogging with their upper body exposed.

The two spirits shook her head in bewilderment towards the men who passed by with ‘Heut! Heut!’ noise.

“I really can’t understand humans.”

“What are they doing this early?”

Right after Hwarereuk and Jorereuk said so, the 52 humans, including Ha Sun-young and Ye Sa-hye, began to perform all sorts of activities. They climbed a cliff at an angle that is close to 90 degrees without any equipment, they also jumped and sprinted with their teeth clenched through a structure that looks like a staircase that would span for hundreds of floors.

It was as if they were preparing themselves to join a Triathlon race. They trained so hard to the point it would be understandable if some of them died in the process. But fortunately, there was no one who was left behind.

Because, each of those 50 people was actually a sword master who were active in the society!

They were born as men, lived all their lives for the sword, and only looked at the sword. However, even if they trained for all their life, they were nothing but a slightly strong human. They wouldn’t be able to overcome an E-rank superhuman with a body without superpower.

When they were finally given a chance, how could they give up?

‘Let’s join Yoo Seodam’s guild, Another league!’

To join Another league, they had to give up all of their influence in the society as well as the dojo they ran, many masters couldn’t easily make such a decision and come here. Nevertheless, the fact that 50 sword masters gathered within a short period of time meant that they were really hungry for swordsmanship.

They are the ones who were most desperate for swordsmanship!

Ha Sun-young ran in front of those people with a smile on her face.

She was so happy that no one was left behind. This simple jogging was actually difficult for a body that didn’t have any superpower. Even the guys who dealt with Qi in Jungwon Moorim were whining about this training because it was so difficult.

‘As expected from a master!’

Even though Ha Sun-young was in the position of teaching swordsmanship to them, she deeply respected them.

She knows that each and every single one of them just couldn’t learn swordsmanship properly because they weren’t given the opportunity to learn martial arts. But in the end, the purpose of pursuing swordsmanship was all the same. In addition, there were some masters who had been training for more than 40 years, it was almost the same period of time with her.

That was why she respected the masters, and the masters also felt the same way towards her.

“Is it difficult!?!?”

“NO!”

“GOOD! Then, one more lap just like this!”

“OOOO!!!”

It may seem like an ignorant way of exercising at the first glance, but in fact, that simple jogging was an act of laying the foundation for building ‘Inner-qi’. And for masters who already trained their body for decades, their learning rate of Sunyoung’s swordsmanship was fast. Also, their inner qi was growing rapidly, day after day.

“Let’s go!”

“LET’S GOOO!”

Ha Sun-young was having the most fun compared to anyone else.

Her crude swordsmanship, that no one recognized throughout her journey in Jungwon Moorim, was finally receiving some recognition.

‘Ha Sun-young. Your swordsmanship is more modern than anyone else’s.’

‘Yeah I know I’m a little bit modern!’

‘…….’

‘…So, what are you trying to say?’

‘Your swordsmanship is the only martial art that can be altered easily based on the opponent you meet. …Doesn’t that sound like a swordsmanship that was specially created to deal with monsters?’

‘Is that so? Right? Right!’

She seriously didn’t know. She thought her own swordsmanship was nothing but a mismatched rag.

However, Yoo Seodam, a man who acquired the highest level of martial arts, superpower, and hunting skill, recognized her swordsmanship. He said that her swordsmanship was something that specialized for the battle against monsters.

‘Ha Sun-young, by any chance… Are you willing to teach swordsmanship to sword masters on Earth?’

It was such an attractive suggestion that excited her heart.

‘Of course!’

She finally got a disciple, on top of that, they were sword masters of Earth!

She finally could spread her swordsmanship into the world.

* * *

Yoo Seodam had to meet quite a few people after his return from another world. Most of them were world-class scientists who wanted to study magic or large companies that wanted to cooperate technically, but he had to meet a lot of ‘masters’ before that.

The degree of enthusiasm of those masters could not be compared to the scientists. They trained their body in extreme conditions that made Yoo Seodam shake his head dumbfoundedly. Their passion was really admirable.

It was only two weeks since they started learning swordsmanship properly. However, surprisingly, after only two weeks, everyone had become an E rank superhuman or even higher!

Ha Sun-young jumped in elation. She said it was unprecedented even in Murim’s history. But the result may be natural as all the masters had gone through the rough and arduous path for decades. With the help of the shortcut presented in front of them, it was only a matter of course that they grew in a smooth sailing highway.

Masters will be able to grow as much as the effort they put. Besides, they all belonged to the Another League…. Even if the guild hunting rate slowed down considerably these days, in the near future, the guild will grow at an explosive rate.

And then, magic.

While Mugong was something that was studied by those who held a sword. Magic was a natural language for all Mathematicians because Magic and Math were closely connected.

Although he has not yet properly taught magic to anyone, Seodam has met quite a few mathematicians and students. He had publicly announced that he was willing to teach magic to them. His magic was now proven to be superior to the magic of Morian Guild of Russia.

Even now, Morian Guild has been keeping Another League in check. So, it is really the right time to be active, because many people wanted the teachings of Another League as well as Yoo Seodam.

Of course, Yekaterina was going to do the teaching as well.

Even though Yoo Seodam had told her that she didn’t have to teach, Yekaterina firmly said she would do it. It was her dream to build her own magic system as well as a magic tower in the modern age.

For Yekaterina, the word ‘Dream’ was always synonymous to pain. But now she was able to live her dreams with confidence, and she had someone who could help her in realizing her dream. Even though it was a little hard, she was confident she could realize it by working to the bones.

The magic tower.

It was a place where everyone could freely discuss and learn magic as discipline, not as someone else’s property. If that happens, everyone would be able to learn and use magic without being envious of superhuman.

And since it was also Yoo Seodam’s dream, there was no reason for him to object.

‘I have to find someone who can do administrative work or else….’

Seodam was worried about that. Just this morning, Taylor Nine came to him and said ‘Hey! Let’s hunt for a bit!’ It was quite ridiculous for the guild master to go hunting without thinking about working. But it was also true that there weren’t enough people to work at Another league.

Fortunately, the reason Yoo Seodam was able to meet dozens of people a day and maintain the guild was entirely thanks to Yekaterina. Had it not been for her, Another League would have collapsed dozens of times already.

In the early afternoon.

After the day’s workload was finished to some extent, and when the break time came, Yoo Seodam laid down on the sofa in the private lounge.

“I’m tired and I’m dying……”

As he massaged his forehead and tried to stretch his stiff body, the door opened and Yekaterina came in with a gloomy expression.

“…I am tired too.”

“Yeah. I can see that.”

As Seodam beckoned, Yekaterina ran and crawled into his arms. As soon as their body touched, an intense stimulation flowed towards Yekaterina but unlike before, she had gotten used to it.

‘This, I can only hold on to this level…’

There was a reason behind the intense energy that harassed her body just with a simple contact with Yoo Seodam the other day. It was because the amount of energy remaining in her body had fallen to almost 1%. It was only natural that the stimulus would be strong when her energy was so low.

So, after that day, Yekaterina made frequent contact with Yoo Seodam in order to maintain her energy at around 8-9%. Thanks to that she wouldn’t be assaulted by an intense stimulation as before.

In other words, it was important to keep her energy level as high as possible. However, even after one day of charging, she could only recover around 10% of energy

There’s a big difference in having 10% energy and 1%.

In 1%, she would do everything sluggishly. Even when her eyes were opened, the world felt like it was spinning. And for 10%, her whole body was really full of vitality and she felt energetic.

It was a miracle that she had been able to work hard with only 1% of energy so far.

“…Are you really tired?”

“Yes… a little.”

Yoo Seodam felt sorry as he saw the figure of the peacefully resting Yekaterina. She was the last to join the guild, yet, she had run the guild harder than anyone else. She also loved the guild a lot.

Yoo Seodam glanced at his watch. It will be dinner time soon, but there’s no problem in skipping a meal.

“I have a lot of time, so I’ll be with you for a long time today.”

“…….”

Yekaterina’s figure was quite small. when she was being held in Yoo seodam’s arms, she could put her ears on her chest.

Thump, thump.

Listening to his heart made her feel more comfortable than anything else in the world. It was warm and comfortable as if she had returned to her mother’s womb.

Would it feel like this when she lay in the cradle of heaven?

She didn’t want to be disturbed by anyone when she was receiving her daily dose of energy comfortably.

-Huh… I wouldn’t have any regret if I died like this…

“Really? But I do this to prevent you from dying.”

-……Eh!

Yekaterina’s monologue rang in Yoo Seodam’s head. The act of hugging itself was a kind of ‘soul communion’ which allowed them to speak telepathically while recharging her energy.

Her face was beet red. She was embarrassed because Yoo Seodam knew her thoughts. But she didn’t take her body off him just because of it.

-······I’ll sleep a little bit.

Yekaterina leaned against Yoo seodam’s chest. She listened to the beating sound of his heart and slowly fell asleep. In other hands, Yoo seodam gently stroked her head.

The sun was slowly falling.

It was a quiet and peaceful evening.
