5: Fucking Cough

Having 20 years of war in life will fuck up your life, you'll be not only moaning in pain but wanting to kill yourself because everything is futile, but suicide will only lessen the resources to fight against the mother fucking enemies. They have no choice but to live on and fight and fight and fight.

But as the time goes by, the comrades are getting younger and younger. To the point that they were getting worn out

"We are losing" the veterans knew, they couldn't deny it anymore, even that crown prince couldn't hide it in his speech to raise their morale. That crown prince couldn't tell them the lie at last.

But they have their only hope. The heroes.

Their victory only lies on their heroes. They could only assist them with their lives as sacrifice.

They did everything but, toddlers in uniform will never last in the battle.

Everything is getting harder to get. Food, shelter, and human resources.

One night it was kind of peaceful, because the next day will be the last battle between the defending army and the evil army as they predicted because both parties are losing their resources and the battle the next day will be the result of the 20 years of war.

The night shed a lot of meteors.

"It would be nice to die in a painless way" the red haired soldier said to his comrades six feet underground. It was his wish.

Alas! Destiny is playing with him, even his wish was denied. Gods might have some personal issues with him.

He died in the most traumatic and painful way. Getting to see your comrades die every second, left and right, and then try to save the hero by sacrificing your place to die in his place by getting burned alive is not his ideal way to die. It was painful.

And the fucking White Shit has his mother's ancient power. He realizes, he have to at least get him a scratch in the face, because the white shit is so strong.

He wants revenge, but he is dying and he is weak, he have to at least get a support to kill the bastard.

He wished that the bastard at least sliced his neck. And punch him  and punch him like that hero punched him the first time they met.

But then a god approached him and made a deal with him.

It was a good deal on his behalf but is kind of suspicious, but when he heard his mother is in it, he jumped in immediately. Call him selfish, he doesn't care anymore. His privileges was the exchange at least compensate him a little bit even he was a trash before.

For the former Cale Henituse as Kim Rok Soo now, the apocalypse is something easier to deal with.

Just monsters trying to dominate the world are trying to be cute in his eyes.

They have systems to deal with them and they have weapons and abilities to counter, and they have everything to live easily. This is much more easier, he doesn't even have to worry about food, he can eat 5 times a day, unlike when he was a soldier he only eats 5 times a month in his last 5 years.

It is a wonderful life.

He even met his late mother's reincarnation. But he became an instant uncle. Not that he is protesting about that, but he should at least in a little bit more younger body, his new body's age is catching up to that adult age.

However, he is still satisfied and content and happy.

He is happy and they are happy. That what should matter.

Only few strong monsters are trying to get in their way of living but also a walking wealth resources. He might be in a coma for a few days or weeks but he is still alive and will continue to do it again.

He is satisfied and everything is worth it.

There might be a few people to get on his nerve but they are so cute so he couldn't help himself but to counter and get back at them and get a lot from them. Extorting them is easy. He have them wrapped up on his palm.

He made a lot of money just extorting them and there he goes in shopping spree mode, getting every items in store that caught his eyes then give it to someone he likes to have it.

Every day is so good aside to those his near death situations. Those incidents results him his half body in a coffin. Those incidents only costed weeks of COMA and some mental injury.

He got a few weeks off.
And he got a visitor, the former owner of his persona and the current owner of his former persona. One and only Cale Henituse. Because he is recuperating in his world.

He enjoyed his company as he got those weeks off because of his injuries. He tried to be the best host in the world for giving him what he wanted. He made a lot of fun things with him and with his niece.

It was all great but then the injuries he got are trying to catch up to him. He hid it to everyone. He is coughing blood, and that means no good. But he could still kill some unranked monsters so it should not be a big deal, right?

Coughing blood is getting frequent and becoming a norm to Rok Soo, so he just goes to the healer then he's good to go and work again. It is not an illness so it's okay.

Then an attack of an unknown rank monster again, almost got him again, but he defeated it on his own because there is no time to wait for it to transform to its final form again, he is a dirty opponent, he attacks at the weaknesses. The monster's last attack got him. He almost got killed if not for Cale almost lost his time to catch him.

He was in coma for 2 weeks. And of course he got the results of his reckless actions and prices for defeating an unknown rank monster. The good news and bad news.

The good news was he got a lot of money and fame and awards. And the bad news is he got a lot of people upset at him.

He tried to coax Cale and Jhing first but he knew he lost their trust in him. Then he tried to assure his teammates but they got depressed more.

He doesn't know what to do.

"Stay still, and don't go outside. Or you would like me to break your knees." Cale fucking Henituse declared.

Of course he is older and smart so he obeyed. Cale Henituse. He is the commander of his previous world and finished off White shit. He is stronger in any aspect, so it is wise to obey for a short time.

He is staying still for a few days, just locked up in the house with fucking lazy Cale, only reading books then watching some dramas. To kill his time, he read cooking books, and cooked a lot of food since Cale complemented he could par Beacrox's cooking, he should also fatten him up so his stay could be a good cause. He would like to challenge Beacrox a cooking competition though he knew he will just become a little kid compared to him.

And Jhing got a lot of high scores in her exams and requested to make her a feast.

It was sailing good, the three of them are feasting up the foods, but then, he coughed, not a silent but that betraying cough, it was noticeable and he is in front of them.

He could see Cale's eyed lights and widen up, revealing his mother's power. He felt a bit relieved at that part.

Then he coughed again, and the fucking blood flew out of his mouth, he tried to hide it but he collapsed.

Then he became a coughing mess. He couldn't breath, everyone is panicking. Even that fucking Cale Henituse could also become worried about him.

And he blacked out.
