Chapter 1: I Became the Last Place in the Academy
I bit into the bread. The dry bread robbed the moisture from my mouth, but it was okay since I had milk in my other hand.More than that, maybe it was because there was something even drier than the bread, but this bread felt rather soft.The world of meritocracy was more stifling than I had imagined.Actually, I thought I could quickly become friendly with everyone if I endured for a few days, but it seemed that wasn't the case.Just as there are pyramids in the world, there was an invisible py...
Chapter 0: I Became the Last Place in the Academy
Prologue“Gack, cough…”My neck was being strangled.Suffocation was one thing, but the feeling of blood rushing to my head was numbing my mind.With the blood flow, I felt like my eyes would burst out any second.The rope around my neck was hanging from the ceiling, and my body was tied to a chair.It was as if they wanted to separate my head from my body, pulling me up and down, and I was in agony.In that state, I was dying without being allowed to scream.My arms were tied to the chair with ar...

Chapter 31: One-Man Army
Question (4)Comet exchanged greetings with Kanputcha."Nice to meet you, Kanputcha Diplomat. I didn't expect to see you here.""I am equally pleased to be greeted so warmly."Comet nodded and continued organizing the paper shopping bag."What were you doing?""I was just splashing around since I had some free time. What brings you here, Kanputcha Diplomat?""I came to speak with Black Comet."Kanputcha leaned against the rooftop railing. It looked as if it we...
Chapter 30: One-Man Army
Question (3)The Awakened church members chuckled dryly.A fighter, seemingly their representative, stepped forward. He was wearing gloves."Even for Comet, it would be difficult to face all of us at once.""I suppose so."Comet readily agreed. Unless one delved deeply into PVP, it was hard to grasp the extent of what a top-tier Ranker could do.The fighter took a stance. Comet stared at him for a moment before aiming her knife."I'll concede the first move.""Then I will...
Chapter 29: One-Man Army
Question (2)Comet accepted Kwon Hyun-seung's small request."Specifically, what would you like me to do? Assassinate the cult leader?""Of course not. Some Awakened are involved with the cult, with intertwined interests. They are the most difficult opponents for us.""Would you like me to deal with that 'some'?"Kwon Hyun-seung shook his head."No. That's our job. Just gather them in one place so they don't cause any unnecessary accidents. Then we'l...
Chapter 28: One-Man Army
Question (1)Unlike the Princess's confidence that she had memorized the location, finding the pseudo-religion was not easy."So, you're saying we should turn left here?"『……Wait a moment. Hmm, hmm, hmm. It's probably left.』"You said that before, and it turned out to be wrong. Thanks to you, we went around in circles."『Trust me one more time. This time, it's right!』"If you say so."They moved to the left path.『Now, a mart will appear.』"What...
Chapter 27: One-Man Army
Scent (4)Comet exchanged a few pleasantries with Kanputcha, the diplomat from the Plun Empire.She didn't want to exchange pleasantries while the Chairwoman and government officials watched with eerie silence, but she had no choice since Kanputcha was doing so."I would like to continue our conversation, Comet, but due to a busy schedule, I must depart. I ask for your understanding."Kanputcha bowed its mechanical body politely."If you are busy, I cannot stop you.""I will vi...
Chapter 26: One-Man Army
Scent (3)Afterward, a commemorative ceremony was held, followed by a buffet. The grand hall where the ceremony had taken place was instantly transformed with a buffet spread.Despite the Acting President's attendance, the buffet wasn't extravagant. It seemed more for show.Comet stared blankly at the braised short ribs. They looked familiar. Familiar like the ones she had eaten at the Exhibition Assembly Hall.Dan Ga-yeon cheered softly and put the ribs on her plate. She seemed happy that t...
Chapter 25: One-Man Army
Scent (2)Comet took out her suit as the day of the ceremony arrived. She examined the suit this way and that."I just hope it doesn't look too awkward on me. It's practically the first time I'm wearing one with this body, so I don't know if I'll adapt right away."『It's just clothes, how awkward can it be?』"Suits are obvious like that."『I guess you wouldn't know.』"You can tell when someone looks awkward in a suit."She put on the skirt and...
Chapter 24: One-Man Army
Scent (1)Comet and Kwon Hyun-seung moved to a bench a little away from where the pseudo-religious speech was taking place.There was silence for a moment. A gust of wind blew, shaking Kwon Hyun-seung's pseudo-religious attire.Comet felt a pang of pity. If Dan Ga-yeon hadn't ruined Kwon Hyun-seung's perfect death, he could have died without ever wearing such an embarrassing outfit.Before that, if the Healer hadn't ruined Dan Ga-yeon's death, this accident wouldn't have happ...
Chapter 23: One-Man Army
Manager (5)After taking a break, I surveyed the third floor.It was a large, spacious area, but it seemed to be nothing more than a combat space for a massive monster, lacking any particular functions or features.Behind the monster's resting place was a staircase leading down, apparently to the fourth floor.Dan Ga-yeon pondered whether to descend to the fourth floor or exit the Dungeon, report the interim results, regroup, and return.『Since you defeated a boss-level monster, there's a h...
Chapter 22: One-Man Army
Manager (4)Using Fenrir to disarm traps while searching the Dungeon, I was able to find the stairs leading down."I expected it, being in the mountains, but it's an underground Dungeon."Dan Ga-yeon looked down beyond the stairs. Comet put Fenrir back into her soul orb and peered down the stairs next to Dan Ga-yeon. A cool air wafted up."Good thing I brought emergency rations.""Let's go down."The second floor had a similar structure, but the contents were different....
Chapter 21: One-Man Army
Manager (3)After the questions from the higher-ups were over, Comet left the State Council meeting. She waited where she was guided, and soon enough, Chairwoman came to find her, seemingly after the State Council meeting had ended."Nothing much, right?""It wasn't nothing, but the questions were easy, so it was comfortable."Chairwoman laughed."I'm glad it was at least comfortable."Comet shrugged."I'm a bit hungry. Can I eat here? It feels like it'll tak...
Chapter 20: One-Man Army
Manager (2)Comet slung the bag containing the frisbees over her shoulder and headed to the park.She remembered this park being in poor condition, but still functional as a park.A fallen tree blocked the park entrance. Comet avoided the tree and entered the park. A pile of dirt that had spilled out of its designated area covered part of the path, making it soft. In the distance, she could see the badminton court had collapsed.Comet wandered around the spacious park for a while. She found a corpse...
Chapter 19: One-Man Army
Manager (1)The armor was quickly acquired.Instead of heading to the Chairwoman's office, they went to an assembly office, where the Chairwoman handed Comet a set of clothes.Comet unfolded the neatly folded clothes and examined them."It feels even better than the design draft.""The actual item has a different weight than the drawing.""Nice. A mirror..."Comet held the clothes up to her body and looked around the room. The Chairwoman pointed to a corner of the office. Th...
Chapter 19: Inevitably, the Heroine
I Hate Hurting People (5)The Xenon who had been wearing a serious expression until just now was gone, and Xenon looked at me with a bright smile. Was he that concerned about what I had said? Actually, I didn't feel that comfortable. Well, it's better than him looking miserable... I guess it's right to think positively.Actually, I was quite concerned, and it was an action to twist the plot, but I didn't want to hurt others. Looking at it this way, it seemed certain that he had bee...
Chapter 31: Anomaly Catching Anomaly
How to Kill What Doesn't Die (5)―――BEEEEEEEEEEEEEPThe siren blared loudly, filling the room.It was designed to make such an irritating noise to signal danger, but it was so nauseating that it terrified the listeners.I, too, was forced to sit up because of the sound that pounded in my ears. I glared at the speaker on the ceiling with a look of utter displeasure.'So noisy.'I poured out my complaints in my mind, where no one could hear them.I was finally making plans for the futur...
Chapter 18: One-Man Army
The King's Path (4)Fenrir lunged at Comet, then stopped and staggered. Comet's Spiritual Power pressured Fenrir, forcing it to obey."Are you mocking me!"The Necromancer widened his eyes and countered with his own Spiritual Power. Spiritual Power clashed against Spiritual Power, and a battle for dominance began.A battle for control over a spirit body overwhelmingly favors the original owner. The attacker had to understand the spirit body's structure, exploit it to seize contro...
Chapter 17: One-Man Army
The King's Path (3)Comet kept the Necromancer's hideout a secret from Dan Ga-yeon and left Yeouido alone.『Hmph! Hmph!』The Princess hmphed for no reason."Are you still sulking?"『A commoner has no shame. Torturing royalty and then asking if they're just sulking.』"But souls don't have basic rights. It's fair treatment."『That only reveals the inferiority of human civilization. Always quick to rationalize their pathetic aspects.』"Is that so."『...
Chapter 30: Anomaly Catching Anomaly
How to Kill What Doesn't Die (4)Several weeks had passed since Anomaly 1983 last caused an emergency situation.The atmosphere at the Site, which had been chaotic due to two consecutive emergencies, had calmed down, and the researchers, who had been on edge, were finally starting to relax.Sophia, the blonde researcher, was staring at the screen in front of her with her usual expressionless face.'Peaceful, isn't it?'Peace.Few people dislike peace unless they are crazy warmongers, b...
Chapter 18: Inevitably, the Heroine
I Hate Hurting People (4)Fight? With who? Probably a villain. By the time the thought reached that point, my body was already moving. I was in the middle of finding a lost child's home, but that was long gone from my mind....I didn't care if someone called me selfish. Wasn't the reason I came here to get revenge on my father anyway? In the end, what I think is important takes precedence.Heading to District B, where Aisha was probably fighting, was more important to me than anything e...
Chapter 16: One-Man Army
The King's Path (2)『Now, hurry up and offer your blood to this body.』"Don't rush me. I'll give it to you."Comet returned to her room and compiled the information on the blockers and relays into a report. She added statistics she had obtained by using Blood Arts several times on her way back, making it quite presentable.She printed the report and went to the Committee. The Committee still looked busy. She glanced into the semi-transparent Chairwoman's office and saw th...
Chapter 15: One-Man Army
The King's Path (1)Some time after the rift situation stabilized, Gunther left the government. He took the Awakened who were originally guild members with him, creating a gap in the government's workforce, they say."There's... there's just too much work..."Dan Ga-yeon muttered, stirring her soup next to Comet in the cafeteria. She looked pitiful."The rift issues have been mostly resolved now. It should decrease.""Only someone not in the committee like you, Com...
Chapter 14: One-Man Army
Blood and Shadows (4)Dan Ga-yeon's eyes widened as she watched the employee rush into the burning building."Who is that?""That's the survivor I found. He was worried that if the items in that building burned, it would be difficult to operate the power plant, so he went to solve it himself."Comet glanced at the golem, which was repairing its arm and trying to move, then turned around."Officer Dan, please hold the golem. I'll go protect him.""Yes, though I d...
Chapter 13: One-Man Army
Blood and Shadows (3)Comet left the power plant worker who refused the dangerous operation and jumped out of the building window.『This world doesn't know honor either.』"It's normal."『Aren't you going to take the spear?』"There's no need to give it and then take it back. I'll collect it when it's over."She took out a Soul orb and turned one of the souls into a knife. It was hastily made, so the performance would be poor, but it would be enough.Approa...

I Hate Hurting People (3)"That person..."Pointing to Jace, who had been dragged along by the hand, she made an 'ah' sound, as if finally remembering, and dropped Jace to the floor."I just knocked him out. Anyway, you recognized me right away. I guess masks don't suit me."Seemingly quite frustrated, she grumbled as she took off the white mask that covered the upper part of her face. And then, I met those green eyes once more. I frowned at the gaze that seemed to be try...
Chapter 12: One-Man Army
Blood and Shadows (2)Comet leaned against the wall of the Committee, waiting for someone. Before long, Dan Ga-yeon approached with a notebook and file folder."Officer Dan, good morning."Dan Ga-yeon hesitated."...Yes, Comet."Comet put her hands behind her back and tilted her head."Didn't we agree you'd speak informally?""Well..."Dan Ga-yeon seemed to have difficulty deciding how formal to be."Hahaha. It's okay. I guess it's hard to drop formalit...
Chapter 11: One-Man Army
Blood and Shadows (1)The self-proclaimed princess's soul shouted for proper etiquette.Comet scratched her cheek and subtly bowed her head toward the Soul orb."Hello, Princess. It's nice to meet you."『Hmph. Though your manners lack basic etiquette, I shall overlook it, seeing as you are clearly uneducated. Consider it an honor.』Comet gazed at the Soul orb and grinned."How did you die, Princess? Your willpower must be extraordinary to maintain your ego even in soul form....
