Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 1:
Chapter 1 – Finally Seoul!
His body was surrounded by light that flowed out from the Dimensional Administrator . His entire body was broken down into its cellular level then he felt the curious experience of his cells disperse as the darkness found him .
He was in a faraway place, where he almost forgot about time . He tried hard, but he was barely able to hold onto his consciousness .
‘Gang-woojin! Wake up . ’
He didn’t know how much time had passed, but light grew from the darkness . The light approached him, and he was swallowed by it . Then the world became bright, and the smell of trash filled him .
‘Oooh ooh . ’
He moaned, but he couldn’t make any other noises . He was barely able to open his eyes, and all he could see was a battered slate roof . After a long time, he felt sensation return to his fingertips .
He felt around his surrounding . He was on top of a recyclable burlap sack . The unidentified trash smell was emanating from there .
‘I’ve returned . ”
He thought he knew where this is . He remembered when he caught a glimpse of his memories, which had sank to the bottom .
‘The school’s incineration plant . ’
He had went over to ‘that place’ twenty years ago at this location . Any ways, he had returned to the starting point .
‘It’s been twenty years, but everything looks the same . ’
It looked a little big more worn down, but the incineration plant looked the same . As he slowly waited for his sense to return, he waited for his body to recover .
“Hey . Fuck . Hurry up . You son of a **** . ”
He was barely able to turn his head when he heard sudden noises . Students wearing familiar uniforms descended upon the incineration plant .
‘The uniforms are the same . ’
It wouldn’t have surprised him if the uniform’s design had changed since twenty years had passed . However, it still looked the same, so it was a welcoming sight . When he saw the people, he knew he had really returned to earth, so he couldn’t control his emotions .
At a glance, three uniformed students were dragging along another student . He looked too normal to be the bullied . Also, he was a handsome student .
“You son of a **** . Let’s begin after I hit you . ”
“Why should I get hit?”
“What? You son of a **** . ”
Their fists started to fly, and the two were entangled in a dog fight . The bullies next to them started to join in, and the fight became a one-sided beating .
“You **** **** dare to challenge me?”
“You are really a **** eyesore . Just attend school quietly . ”
He was having fun looking at the three of them step on the one student . Somehow, it made him think of the past . Maybe it was because he went through a wretched experience for 20 years, but the children’s antics were cute to him .
They beat the him until he thought the boy might die . However, the group stopped as they gasped for breath . The student had covered his head with his arms, and the twitching student had various scrapes and wounds . However, his eyes were still giving off a fierce light .
The group’s leader, Lee-joonhyuk, didn’t like the light in Do-jaemin’s eyes .
All the students were afraid to look at him . They either avoided looking at him or they looked at him with envy in their eyes . However, this son of a **** was looking at him with those eyes .
“Ha . Fuck . Yo, Jaemin . Does it hurt? Does it hella hurt? Didn’t I tell you to stop doing irritating things in front of me? Just go to school quietly, all right?”
“Beat it . Fuck . ”
Irritating things? Jaemin had studied quietly, and he had done nothing wrong . The problem was that he was too handsome . He was being beaten, because a girl had a crush on Jaemin, and she was someone Lee-soonhyuk liked .
“Ha . This son of a **** hasn’t come to his senses yet? He needs a good beating . Grab this bastard’s body, so he can’t move . ”
The bullies grabbed Jae-min in place, and they pushed him down . Soohyuk let out a dangerous kick into the air . By the look of it, it seemed he was going to let out a soccer kick to the other’s head .
At that moment, all of Woojin’s senses returned to him .
“Ah, that’s enough . ”
At the sudden sound, the kids started to look around their surrounding in surprise . They saw a man wearing strange clothes getting up from atop the recyclable burlap sack .
“Fuck . What’s your deal? How long have you been there?””
“Huh, fuck? The only things these brats can say is **** when they meet a big senior that is like the heavens?”
Woojin got off the burlap sack as if he had been riding it . Ah . The Earth’s surface . It has been 20 years since he had been able to step on it .
Even if they were delinquents, they were just kids in front of an adult . They were taken aback, so they started looking around furtively . Usually, the delinquents were more strict in respecting the school’s lineage… (TLN: Koreans are very respectful towards the alumni of their school)
“Fuck . Who cares if you are our senior?”
…I guess not .
“Why don’t you stop paying attention to us, and go on on your way? I don’t know why some beggar is **** butting in . We, high-schoolers, aren’t afraid of anything these days, Uncle . Just go on your way . ”
Soohyuk was very outspoken . Soohyuk’s bluster chased away his companions uncertainty . Soohyuk had somewhat thought through everything . The man was here at this time in their school when he wasn’t a teacher . Moreover, he was at the incineration plant . He was sure this guy was the neighborhood’s idiot . He was also wearing very thread-bare clothes .
“Huh . Why are kids these days so rude, especially in front of a big senior with twenty years on you?”
Now Sooyuk was sure after he heard Woojin mumbled to himself . At the very least, this **** looked to be a college student, and he should still be in his 20s . He was sure this guy had lost his mind .
“If you don’t want to be hit, then get lost . You little **** . ”
He thought these nitwits would runaway if he scared them a little bit . Instead of being afraid, they had expressions of disbelief at the threateningly raised hand .
“Huh . This won’t do . ”
Woojin pushed his hand forward, and Soohyuk flinched .
“…… . ”
“…… . ”
Woojin was taken aback as he extended his arm again . Why wasn’t the Binding Magic forming? Soohyuk frowned towards the surprised Woojin .
“Shit . What are you doing?”
“Uh? Why is it being like this? Bind!”
Woojin, who was taken aback, continuously extended his hand as he shouted . However, the magic didn’t form . Soohyuk spat out insults at him .
“Shit . I got scared for nothing by this Otaku **** . ”
Soohyuk was sure .
He had been scared for a moment by the village idiot, so his pride was hurt . He reflexively ran forward, and he swung his fist .
Before Soohyuk’s fist could land on Woojin’s head, Woojin tilted his head, and he stepped to the side .
Woosh .
“Huh . You **** avoided it?”
Woosh .
“You son of a **** . You want to die . Fuck this guy up!”
At Soohyuk’s outburst, the lackeys ran in .
‘Huh . I can’t feel the **** magic . ’
Woojin was taken aback when the magical energy, which had basically been his hands and feet for the past 20 years, didn’t respond to him . However, even if he did lose his magic, he wasn’t weak enough to be hit by the fist of a mere high school boy .
Magicians were known to be physically weaker than the warriors, but this was only true in the other world . In this place, his physical ability would blow the Special Forces out of the water .
If he wanted to survive in a place crawling with monsters, his fitness had to be at such levels .
Woojin evaded each of the annoying lackeys’ punches, then he lightly punched them in the solar plexus .
Puh-puh-puk .
“Ook . ”
The three precise attack made all three of them sprawl on the floor . It happened so fast that Do-jaemin forgot about his hurting body, and he stared on dumbly .
“Aw . . awesome . ”
After Woojin defeated the annoying people, he pressed his hand on his temple . When his thoughts became complicated, he had a habit of unintentionally doing this motion .
“Well, I guess it won’t matter?”
Maybe it was a side-effect of the dimensional travel . He wasn’t sure if he had lost his magic or it had been sealed . However, it might not matter .
This place was Seoul .
Monsters will no longer threaten him, and he didn’t need to fight to the death to survive .
Maybe… . ?
