The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Ch 281:

"Should I try looking at something else?"

Kang Jin-Hoo immediately became absorbed in a video from the past. There was nothing else to do outside anyway.

Like other civilian children, even if he went to the playground, there would be no kids to include him, as he was a soldier. He wasn't old enough to go to places like a bar, unlike other adults.

Searching through past legacies in the narrow house was his only form of leisure.

"What's Kang Jin-Hoo's success rate in mock training?"

<100%.>

"Impressive. We can deploy him on the next mission."

While casually understanding various human conflicts through media, he hadn't forgotten what Lee Do-Hwa had asked of him.

It was the request to never lose his humanity and treat people with respect. This was Kang Jin-Hoo's way of honoring Lee Do-Hwa, who had lost his life in place of him. Objectively, Lee Do-Hwa was an admirable person.

"Is that kid our team leader?"

"He's too young."

But it didn't go well. When he was given a codename and became the team leader, some team members expressed dissatisfaction.

They were all modified humans, born with superior physical abilities compared to others. The younger generation felt it was unfair for someone so young to become their leader.

"Is there anyone who has complaints?"

But Kang Jin-Hoo didn't care about such things. He defeated his teammates with skill and followed Lee Do-Hwa's example. Naturally, people started gathering around him.

"Is our leader Ghost?"

"If he's Ghost, he must be trustworthy. There's no way he'll fail the mission."

While completing missions with cold precision, he made sure to look after his team members, and soon everyone began following him.

Bang!

"No!"

But as he gained recognition and his circle of acquaintances grew, he began losing people. Kang Jin-Hoo was the soldier from District S who survived the longest before he died in 2207. This meant that everyone he knew had died while he was alive.

"Leader..."

"Don't say it!"

"I don't want to die..."

"Please... please..."

By the time he began to understand and appreciate the lives of others, his comrades tragically lost their lives. The more this happened, the more he thought of Lee Do-Hwa.

"Why did you do this?"

Why did you teach me about humanity and make me feel this guilt? Kang Jin-Hoo felt surrounded, needing someone to blame.

"What a pity. They were useful."

"...."

"Can I take on the next mission?"

"Yes. But I want to go alone."

So, he overworked his body. He thought that focusing on other tasks would help him block out the screams of his fallen teammates.

"Is this the right way to live?"

Is it really a life to be born with a pre-determined future, constantly flirting with death?
