Starting a Reversal in Life From the Time of Release

54 – The North is a Reversed World (2)

[ And thus, in the newly recovered land this time… ]

The President and Mr. Alberto stood on a high podium and delivered a grand speech.

Below the podium, representatives of the hunters and soldiers who participated in this operation were standing in formation.

We were also among them. We had no choice.

“Good thing we didn’t go.”

“Yeah.”

Marie and I exchanged a few words while watching the live broadcast of the meal.

It’s understandable that the meal was long, as it was an occasion to clarify the intentions and relations between the two countries.

But it was too long. It didn’t end even as the afternoon sun set.

I thought it was quite a talent to be able to drag out a meal like this.

I felt really sorry for Mr. Alberto… but I thought it was good that I could use fatigue as an excuse to rest.

“It’s tough on you, sis.”

Marie looked at Charlotte, who was sitting behind the President, and smiled bitterly.

She couldn’t leave her seat as the representative of the investigation team and also a member of the exchange team.

She couldn’t make excuses like us, about fatigue or injuries from hunting.

“It will be fine, right?”

As the meal was finally coming to an end, I suddenly had a thought that things might go smoothly.

With all the chaos happening globally and the worry about spies coming through the gate.

Instead of answering, Marie held my hand and smiled gently.

It felt like she was saying not to worry about anything.

“Ouch… I’m dying!”

Won-san, Gangwon Province.

A man who was disposing of the bodies of demons wiped the sweat on his forehead and sighed.

He was Park Young-soo, who had been in prison on false charges of s*xual assault.

His crime turned out to be nonexistent, but many still saw him as a s*xual offender.

Just like how people still misunderstood Yoo Shi-ho as a major criminal.

However, the Hunter Guild he joined now knew about his situation and was very kind to him.

There were some difficulties due to its small size, but it wasn’t as inconvenient as he had expected.

And his heart felt even more at ease.

“You did well. Would you like a drink?”

One of the five hunters in the guild offered a bottle of water.

He was a sturdy man.

“Wow… thank you!”

Park Young-soo politely accepted the bottle and drank it as if he were possessed, gulping it down a few times, and the water in the bottle quickly hit the bottom.

“Whew! I thought I was really going to die!”

“Well, you did carry that massu corpse like that, so it’s no wonder you’re tired.”

The man, Kim Ji-soo, chuckled as he patted the truck full of massu corpses.

They had come to the remote guild in search of government support, and the income had exceeded their expectations. They were extracting mana stones from the massu corpses that the guild members hadn’t cleared yet, skinning them, and even selling the remaining meat.

“Shall we have a feast today?”

Kim Ji-soo asked with a grin, and Park Young-soo’s shoulders trembled.

Massu meat was not harmful to the body, and it didn’t taste bad. However, when there was so much of it, it was easy to get tired of it.

“Oh… I feel like I’m going to die again.”

“It’s a bit heavy, but there’s nothing we can do about it. We have to save when we can.”

“You’re absolutely right.”

Park Young-soo also chuckled as if to agree with him, mentally preparing himself for the meat hell that would start again.

“Have the others already gone back?”

“Yeah. We’re the only ones left. Let’s go. “

“Yes!”

Park Young-soo answered energetically and climbed into the driver’s seat.

Kim Ji-soo was in the passenger seat.

Vroom. The truck’s engine started, and it moved forward on the dirt road.

There were no smooth roads like in the city, as people had just begun to settle in the area. Moreover, the development was to be carried out in an eco-friendly manner, making it even slower.

“Young-soo, look over there,”

Park Young-soo said while concentrating on driving.

Kim Jisoo pointed in one direction and smiled.

“Where? Where is it?”

“That way. Left, from your perspective.”

“On the left… Ah.”

I muttered again. Park Youngsoo swallowed his words and glanced to the left.

Although the speeding car quickly passed by, he could still clearly see what Kim Jisoo had mentioned.

“It seems there really is another world. I even saw Western people farming.”

“Should we consider the people from beyond the gate as Westerners?”

“They look similar, so let’s just assume they are. But… their physicality is truly different.”

The images of the women that had flashed through Park Youngsoo’s mind just moments before came to him again.

They all had the appearance commonly associated with Westerners, with firm bodies and tall statures.

Thinking of them as people from another world made the atmosphere feel different.

“They’re all beautiful, all s*xy. That’s why I liked them.”

“That’s true. But can you communicate well with them?”

“They can understand approximately? Maybe it’s because they receive education in advance.”

Kim Jisoo replied, recalling something she had heard before.

It was about how Alberto or Charlotte gathered applicants from beyond the gate, educated them, and sent them here.

“Oh… the representative from that side said they would do that, right? I think I saw it on the news…”

“Really?”

“Yes. I remember a bit.”

“So, I’m thinking of giving it a try as well.”

“What?”

Suddenly, as the flow of the conversation changed strangely, Park Youngsoo looked astonished.

As if expecting his reaction, Kim Jisoo chuckled and said,

“Yes. You can see it as something strange. But don’t you think it’s worth a try?”

“It might be possible for some people… I guess?”

Rather, it’s good.

From his own experience of being deeply hurt by women from the same country, he could see it as a positive thing.

Once mistrust arises, everyone develops prejudices thinking that others would be the same.

But if it’s people from a different country, let alone a different world, there would be no room for such mistrust.

Kim Jisoo was secretly enjoying her luck, because she knew.

Because Park Youngsoo wished for the pain to heal.

“Well then, why don’t you come with me too?”

“What? Me too?”

Park Youngsoo’s eyes widened in surprise, as if he hadn’t even considered it.

“Yes. To be honest, I feel scared going alone. So let’s go together.”

“Um…I don’t have much confidence…”

Park Youngsoo’s gaze, clouded with hesitation, shook intensely.

Her heart was complicated after hearing such an unexpected story.

Although she was somehow managing to drive, she had the overwhelming desire to stop the car immediately.

“Let’s just think that if we get caught, it will be over. I hope there will be someone spreading rumors here. Or maybe there’s CCTV? Fortunately, we were able to communicate through the radio…but it’s a complete danger zone.”

“That’s true.”

Not only here, but everywhere was a danger zone.

Except for some areas that were under reconstruction.

Park Youngsoo agreed with that thought, but she couldn’t understand his reasoning for wanting to come forward because of it.

However, she couldn’t refuse the request of the person who had helped her adapt to the guild from the beginning.

“Fine. I’ll just close my eyes and follow along.”

Once it’s shattered, it will be over.

After making up his mind, Park Youngsoo spoke with a stiff voice.

“Sigh. Even if things get messed up, I won’t know.”

“Don’t worry. If things get messed up, we’ll just enjoy it as it goes.”

Perhaps because she was a hunter who risked her life on a daily basis, Kim Jisoo replied in a cheerful voice.

The next day.

Park Youngsoo and Kim Jisoo rode in a truck and headed towards the area near the base camp.

The house they chose as their base was similar to the container house that Yoo Sihoo had built.

Because it was constructed by the same company that Yoo Sihoo had ordered the house from.

After parking the car in a suitable village, they approached the field that had been abandoned for a long time.

More precisely, towards the women who were working on the field.

“Excuse me.”

When Kim Jisoo bravely approached, the two women, who were working in the fields, turned their gaze.

They were both tall, slim, and loosely tied their long brown hair.

“What… do you want?”

One of the women asked in an awkward tone.

Her Korean seemed to be still shaky.

But there was no major difficulty in having a conversation.

It was awkward.

Kim Jisoo believed that things would work out better than expected, so she decided to shout loudly once.

“The people here are very nice. If it’s okay, could you spare some time?”

“Um…”

The woman who asked the question hesitated as if she was flustered, then slowly opened her mouth.

“For a moment… Could you give us some time?”

“Oh, yes. I was too hasty, right? Please take your time to think and let me know.”

When Kim Jisoo smiled kindly, the two women moved a few steps away and talked quietly, so their voices couldn’t be heard from a distance.

Park Youngsoo stood next to Kim Jisoo like a planted staff and watched the women gather their heads and bow.

“They say the world is different… And it really is different.”

“Uh, who would have thought they would come straight up and ask to be hooked up? It’s really good.”

In that other world, there are many men who are positive about s*x.

There are also passive ones, but the overall trend is like that.

The women giggled, recalling what they learned during their education.

“Who do you want to hook up with?”

“I want that big guy over there.”

“Then I’ll have to eat that skinny guy over there first.”

Perhaps because they had been doing tough farming work for a long time, their choice of words was very straightforward.

“Should we try someone else after tasting it once?”

“Oh, I’m not really into swapping.”

“Then let’s focus on our own partners.”

“That sounds good.”

After reaching a conclusion in their conversation, the two women walked towards where Kim Jisoo was.

And today.

Park Yeong-su lost sympathy for the first time.
