Chapter 176 – 176. Younger Brother
“Hey, dude. I really am. Ah-oh. Shiba cub. “I’m back.”
I patted Seongho on the shoulder in joy.
“Ah!! It hurts.!”
“Ah, Mr. “I’m sorry.”
Of course, Seongho, who was not yet an awakened person, was about to die from pain when someone tapped his shoulder. I had a hard time controlling my strength.
“But bro. What’s wrong with your hair?”
“What?”
“No, why are you bald?”
“There is a deeper situation here. “Don’t ask because your hair can grow back.”
“…”
Because of my skills, I have no choice but to maintain this state. Still, it’s nice that it’s easy to wash. Everyone got used to it to some extent.
Moreover, I am satisfied because I can look more handsome if I keep growing my hair like this from time to time.
“But what about mom and dad?”
“He was still sleeping, so I was the only one who quietly escaped.”
“I see. Hey. Seongho: Anyway, I’m glad you woke up.”
“Uh. But when did you arrive?”
“Uh? Ah.”
I told Seongho what had happened so far.
Everything from how I got here, to the coming disaster, and to reviving Seongho, who had become a zombie.
“I was a zombie?”
“Okay. “Don’t you remember?”
“Isn’t it Gura?”
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about? “It’s real.”
“And. Crazy.”
Seongho blinked in disbelief.
“So all the guys at that judo academy are dead too?”
“I killed them all. Not a single thing is left behind. Everything.”
“Huh. Brother.”
“Why?”
“Well, nothing’s wrong?”
“What?”
“Murder or something.”
“Hey. Don’t be stupid. You have to get used to it. Wake. There is no one alive today who does not have blood on their hands. “I sacrificed a few people to save just one of you.”
“…”
Seongho found it a little difficult to accept my words.
Let’s just not talk deeply about this topic.
Anyway, it is useless to talk about murder now.
I have already crossed an irreversible line and built our foundation on the corpses of countless people.
Seongho In some ways, this guy is in a state no different from standing on top of those corpses.
So let’s change the topic. Because issues of conscience and morality have already been abandoned.
“Aren’t you hungry more than that?”
“Ship? That’s right. I’m hungry. “I think I’m hungry after listening to you.”
“Then let’s eat something. “Is there anything you want to eat?”
“Oh. What do you want to eat? Then meat for the first time in a while?”
“We can only serve ramen. “I’m sorry.”
“No, then why the fuck did you ask?”
“What a temper. “I just asked what you wanted to eat, I didn’t say I would do it.”
“Huh. That’s right. That makes sense.”
I told my younger brother to wait a moment, then went into the base labyrinth and brought a portable gas burner, a pot, water, and ramen.
“Hey, bro. But is there no kimchi?”
“It was there, but I forgot. Just eat it.”
“…”
“Don’t keep making a sad face. I’m going to save you! How many times have I almost died, and now you’re fucking saying I didn’t give you kimchi? Hey, I’m a lifesaver.”
“Uh. Um. Thank you a lot for that. Thank you, brother.”
“Whew. Done. And I have five girlfriends alone. Are you jealous?”
“Big.”
Seongho spits out the ramen he was chewing.
I kept coughing as if I was sick.
“Hey, why are you eating so quickly?”
“No, I didn’t eat in a hurry. Cough! Cough!! Huh. “No, aren’t you surprised that my brother has five girlfriends?”
“Well, that’s how it happened.”
“Is it really five? Why not. How can you be bald?”
“Uh huh. Don’t ask. “It’s too long a story to tell.”
“Her. “It’s not so fucking ugly!!”
I pounded the chestnuts on my younger brother’s forehead. If you speak carelessly, you will be punished.
“Shh! Don’t make noise while your parents are sleeping. More fans?”
“What the fuck… Why did you become so strong?”
“Strength stat over 30.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“They say a fool who hasn’t even woken up is a loser.”
“I. Yiiiii.”
There is nothing I can do to let go of my anger, so I’m leaving.
It tastes like this too. There is a big age difference between me and my younger brother. That’s why I always feel like I’m one-sidedly harassing them. I’m glad this guy is good at tanking.
“Have you eaten everything?”
“Yes.”
“Then, clean up the dishes afterward. Ah, winter night is coming soon, so if you want to live like a human being, you too must wake up and raise your survival level hard. Do you understand?”
“Uh. But will I also become awakened? No matter how much I kill, I can’t do it.”
“There is a way.”
When I went in to get ramen, I took out the awakening stone I brought with me.
In fact, even though I took this with me, I couldn’t take the kimchi out of the refrigerator.
“This is…”
“It is an awakening stone. Isn’t it crazy?”
“Brother. “What do you do?”
“I think he’s probably the strongest human being right now.”
“Again! Ah, brother! “Stop hitting me!”
“Hehe. “If you don’t want to get hit, you have to be selective about what you say.”
Now Seongho flinches even when I raise my hand. That guy too. Anyone who sees me will think that I commit domestic violence.
“That’s it. If you hold onto it tightly, you will acquire skills. Try it quickly. With this. “This too.”
“Uh… But how did you get this?”
“…”
Killed a person You can’t say that, right? Then this bastard would definitely feel guilty.
“I got it by killing someone.”
“What?”
But you shouldn’t hide something from family. This is a fact that will soon be revealed anyway. I thought it would be better to just peel it all away.
“That’s the skill I have. You can take skills from the awakened person you kill. In the form of an awakening stone.”
“… Then this.”
“You can think of each one as containing one person’s life.”
“Brother. “I.”
“Don’t say you can’t take it. Are you going to die walking around naked again? If you die, will your mother go crazy again? And do you have any idea how valuable a single Resurrection Stone is?”
“…”
“I told you to come to your senses. In your current state, you are dead and cannot awaken even if you wake up. Just accept the awakening stone. That’s the way to live. And I killed it, did you kill it? “Why do you buy and feel guilt that I don’t feel?”
“Something. “I don’t feel like it.”
“So did I. “What did I like about killing people?”
Recently, I was blinded by my skills, so I gave up on human dignity and committed indiscriminate massacres, but even just a few weeks ago, I knew that human life was precious.
In the end, if you keep killing it, you will inevitably become dull. I have no intention of forcing that on my younger brother, but I also have no intention of letting him go back when there is a way to quickly become stronger right in front of him.
“For now… I’ll take it.”
“Okay.”
My younger brother used the awakening stone without any hesitation.

“Huh. This is awakening.”
When I heard that I got it by killing someone, I was depressed, but when I saw the skill, my eyes rolled back. As expected, this kid is also from our family.
“Check the stats. Can you see it?”
“Uh. This is the status window. What kind of novel is this? Status window. And. Fuck.”
“Since you have awakened, receive strengthening skills.”
“Enhancement skills?”
“Uh. Skills for stat pumping.”
Since it was better to pass this on after I had raised the skill level, I handed over all the reinforcement skills I had acquired in advance to Seongho.
“Wow. This is why I was in so much pain.”
“How do you feel?”
“That’s amazing. Really.”
Yes, it has to be amazing. It is impossible for others to have such tremendous power, but thanks to having an older brother, I gained tremendous power.
“For your information, you only get one more skill when your survival rating reaches 10?”
“Then.”
“You actually just raised your survival level by dozens of points.”
“This is what it means to say that if you kill someone, you will gain skills.”
“Okay.”
“I understand a little bit now. “If I could obtain this kind of power, my eyes would turn upside down.”
Seongho seemed to understand something.
“Okay then, it looks like digestion has been roughly completed. “Let’s go raise our survival level right away.”
“Ji, now? “It’s still dark?”
“I can’t spend even a moment. Soon after tomorrow the sun will not rise at all. In a few days, it will snow and the temperature will drop further. Monsters will also crawl out from beyond the gate. “You have to move like crazy starting today.”
Now is the last chance to comfortably raise your survival level. In a few days, all kinds of monsters will come flooding into this world. From then on, just protecting our base may be difficult.
“Now, here. “I brought weapons and equipment, so put them on.”
“Uh huh.”
“Wear a helmet too.”
“I understand.”
“Wrap this around your wrist with denim tape. Because if you get bitten, it’s over.”
“Okay.”
At least I gave you the self-defense and iron arm transformation skills, so it will be okay if your arm gets bitten.
“That’s it. “I’ll bring the zombies, so just pick their heads.”
“Okay. But… It’s really okay, right? My brother and I are in the zombie field.”
“Hey. Look at this.”
I summoned dark spirits in front of my anxious brother. When I summoned about 100 ordinary dark spirits and three contracted dark spirits that radiated evil energy, my younger brother opened his mouth wide.
“What is this again?”
“Summoned. “I met you, my brother, and my life has changed.”
“Brother. And. Fuck. “I’m just going to trust my brother.”
Earned her brother’s loyalty.
As expected, they show overwhelming power, so they naturally become loyal.
I felt like our friendship deepened.
