My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant

soran jin (2)

“ah! So, may I ask how you got there?”

After talking for a while, So-ran Jin, who came to her senses late, looked at her again.

“Call me Heinz. I followed Gamma once as he gently flirts. No matter how hard he tried, he was confident that he would pull out a body.”

“Um, that… that’s great. Yes···.”

She swallowed the words with a subtle expression on her face.

I want to say it was frivolous, but he looked like he had nothing to say because he actually rescued himself and got out.

Even if he didn’t expect the betrayal of his comrades, he was the one who was captured.

“Oh! This is not the time!”

Suddenly Jin So-ran hurriedly rummaged through her pockets and took out her smartphone.

I must have tried to report what had just happened, but unfortunately the smartphone did not have a self-healing function like hers.

“Ahh! I still have a lot of installments left…”

Completely shattered liquid crystal.

Of course the power didn’t turn on.

For a moment, even though she had been sobbing and frozen, she began to wiggle her body, carefully examining her eyes.

It’s like he wants something, but he doesn’t want to say it.

“Can I borrow your phone?”

“oh! yes! thank you!”

She is afraid to say anything and accepts it.

Then, he received the cannon phone that Heinz had given him and fiddled with it for a while.

“Whoa, it’s done. ah! Can I delete the call history?”

“I do not care. But can I just contact you from an outsider’s phone?”

“it’s okay. It’s the emergency contact network we use in times like these.”

As soon as I contacted her, she felt more comfortable, leaning back in her seat and drooping.

And I started to glance at it again.

“What do you have to say?”

“yes! Heinz looks pretty strong, where do you belong?”

The answer came back as if waiting.

After all, she was a woman who did not decline when the opportunity came.

“No, actually, I just recently returned to Earth. The reason I followed Gamma was because I was interested in the clan he was talking about. It’s an organization where most of the vampires in Korea are gathered, isn’t it?”

It’s just the right time.

However, Heinz did not express it and naturally brought up the topic.

“Perhaps some of them belong to other organizations. Still, about 70% of them belong to a clan, right? We don’t know for sure how many people are being captured or hidden by the Intelligence Service.”

“What if a vampire who has not committed a crime is captured by the Immunity Bureau? I wouldn’t just kill you.”

During the conversation, I asked questions that I had been curious about for a while.

I mean, this isn’t even on the internet.

“Hey, it doesn’t kill me. But I don’t get that kind of treatment. They said it was practically a prison.”

She added that she had heard someone say she was caught and then ran away.

“Actually, it is said that even after the vampire incident, there were attempts to embrace those with a moderate tendency among vampires. It wasn’t clear what happened though. After that, it’s almost like a pre-criminal.”

“Hmm, it was a good thing I didn’t report it voluntarily after I came back.”

“Yes. So that’s what I mean…”

She said with a twinkle in her eyes.

“If you are looking for a place to belong, how about a clan?”

And he began to appeal hard to the crew he belonged to.

It belongs to a moderate group that seeks peace within the clan, and in connection with the blood center, the blood pack supply is stable, and it is said that it can sometimes suck blood against clinical investigators.

“You pay money to buy someone to vampire. After putting him to bed, he sucks blood only enough to not have any health problems, treats the teeth marks, and sends them out.”

She, who was excitedly explaining, stopped talking and looked at this side again.

“Well, if you want to build up your strength by doing that, our crew will not fit you. If you want that, I’ll introduce you to another place. Toward fewer accidents…”

“No, that’s fine. I have no desire to become stronger by sucking human blood.”

Yes, because I intend to suck the blood of vampires and become strong.

Jin So-ran, who does not know my thoughts, brightened.

“Then it’s perfect! Hey, maybe it was fate that we met like this?”

She was so excited, then suddenly stopped.

Then I closed my eyes and looked out the window.

“By the way, where are we going?”

“Are you asking that now?”

I’ve been driving since she woke up.

But now that I’m asking about it, it’s my fault that I didn’t tell you.

“There is no specific destination. Because the purpose was to escape in the first place. After moving away from that place, it just spins around the nearby road. So if you have a place you want to go, tell me. I will burn you.”

If I had known that the conversation was going to be this long, I would have put it in an appropriate place.

Naturally, I was going to take Jin So-ran to the crew headquarters and show interest in a sneak peek…

“oh! Then without speculation! By the way, would you like to go with Mr. Heinz as well? It’s getting late now, so I’ll give you a place to rest.”

After the dawn of a lot of work.

The dawn was slowly coming.

“Soran unnie~! I’ve heard of it! it’s okay?!”

As we entered the lobby of a building located in the villa, a girl who appeared to be in high school ran out and threw herself into Jin So-ran’s arms.

It was a very powerful body tackle, and she hugged the girl with a soft shock.

‘You look pretty good.’

By the way, a child like that is a vampire, at what age did he go to another world?

Are you older than you look?

“Who is this uncle?”

A girl who is wary of this side with only her eyes sticking out of Jin So-ran’s arms.

“It’s Heinz who decided to join our crew this time. You helped me this time too. Say hello to me.”

“···hello.”

“Yes, bye.”

The girl patted her back and bowed her head to greet Jin So-ran’s soft words.

He seemed to have loosened his guard a little when he said that he had helped Jin So-ran.

Even though he was still in her arms.

“Is it me? My sister has something to do for a little while… can’t you just let her go?”

Dori-dori…

The girl who buried her head in her arms again and shook her head.

“After business is over, my sister will go to Nahee’s room. Let’s sleep together in a little while. Can you leave me alone for a moment?”

At the sound of her soft voice stroking her hair, the girl fell from her arms with a dissatisfied expression on her face.

“Do you have to come quickly? Aren’t you going to be waiting for me?”

“Yes, yes. My sister will be leaving soon.”

But after she barely let the girl pat, she had to deal with the others one after another.

Everyone had good ears, so it seemed like they heard the sound of Jin So-ran coming back.

‘Do you have a good reputation?’

“Uh-huh, I’ll tell you where to rest.”

After greetings and introductions, Jin So-ran, who was barely released, took the lead and led Heinz up the stairs.

“By the way, I’ve been concerned since before, how long will you be wearing the mask?”

“Because I’m a little shy. When we get to know each other a little more, I’ll take them off.”

“Ah… yes. Do whatever you feel comfortable with…”

After struggling to agree with a shaky expression on her brazen answer, she guided me to an empty room without saying anything.

There are not many household items, but the room is neatly organized.

It seemed enough for a short stay.

“There was a very young-looking kid in the crew earlier?”

“Ah… is it me?”

“I have never seen such a young returnee. I wondered if I was older than I looked.”

Although it is not exact, the youngest record revealed so far was in high school.

Even so, it is extremely rare, and usually an adult over the age of 20 is sent.

But no matter how you look at it, you are in the upper grades of elementary school, at most middle school…

“The child is not a returnee. My father was a returnee, and he turned me into a vampire to save Na-hee, who had an incurable disease.”

It was then that I realized that I had been mistaken.

Not all vampires were returnees.

Even vampires who returned to Earth in the first place could be infected by someone from another world, and they could turn someone else into a vampire on Earth.

‘I can see why the government wants to control the vampires. In a way, it is no different than an infectious disease introduced from outside.’

Somehow, when we were clearing out criminal gangs, we sometimes saw low-level Servant-class vampires.

He didn’t have enough power to use it as a soldier.

But in that respect, the number seems to be smaller than I expected…

“Oh, that doesn’t mean vampires can call an infinite number. I don’t know why, but they say it takes ten times more power to infect on Earth.”

Indeed, if there is such a problem, it is understandable.

The difference must have occurred because it was also in a different dimension.

If your own power is diminished the more you make other people into vampires, there will be a limit to your ability to scale up blindly.

“By the way, that girl called Na-hee looked stronger than I thought, didn’t she?”

Of course, more power is needed to make the infected target stronger.

However, the child who was confirmed by “Spotting” seemed to be at an intermediate level among the residual blood.

“I wish Na-hee could live proudly under the sun, but my father was a little overbearing.”

Level 1 burns to ashes under the light of the sun, and level 2 burns continuously.

From 3rd level onwards, although there are hunting conditions, they do not take damage.

A child named Na Hee seemed to be in the late 3rd level, so there must have been a significant loss to her father’s power.

“Who is that father?”

Jin So-ran did not answer the question and just smiled awkwardly and shook her head.

“…it’s late, but now you have to rest. I had a lot of work today. We’ll talk again in the evening.”

She spoke brightly, saluted and disappeared outside.

Even vampires are human, so they must have their own circumstances.

A room with blackout curtains.

Heinz lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

***

A bowl of hot and hearty soup for breakfast.

In addition, we ate scrambled eggs and meatballs, and for dessert we ate a hot dog and a bucket of ice cream.

“Um… is it not enough?”

No, breakfast is just right.

Because the body doesn’t squeeze calories to the limit like the avatar.

I watched the avatars fighting through healthy meals, including chicken breasts and hard-boiled eggs, and chewing on high-calorie protein bars.

＜object information＞

-Object Name: Harley

-Common Attributes: 「Mind Hub」, 「Persona」, 「Super Recovery」, 「Myeonggyeong Index」

-Individual characteristics: 「Adaptation」

-Special Features: Han Seong-hyeon’s fifth avatar. It adapts to change quickly and efficiently, even in extreme situations.

About a week has passed since Heinz’s fierce oxidation in Ajantu, Earth time.

By the time Heinrich entered the church, he was able to be summoned again.

‘And then I found out. It’s been a week this time, but next time it will take about a week to regenerate a dead avatar.’

Also, the more it repeats, the longer it will take.

‘Well, if it’s dangerous, you can cancel the summons, so there’s no way you’ll die. It was a special case back then.’

Coincidentally, Hans, Heinz II, and Heinrich all have more survivability than cockroaches.

‘But looking at the initial skills, this guy seems to have a tough name too.’

The initial skill of the newly born ‘Harley’ is ‘Adaptation’.

It was a truly cockroach-like ability to adapt and survive in extreme environments.

Not only that, but the load applied to the body while training was also perceived as an extreme situation, and when it was combined with 「Super Recovery」, the efficiency was excellent.

‘Well, I don’t know when and where it will be put into operation. It’s prepared in advance so that you can use it right away when you need it.’

Next, I checked the Karma shop.

After leaving Ajanto and using most of it, I didn’t expect much because there were no major incidents…

『Karma Shop』

『Enhance Unique Skills (800,000)』

『Status Enhancement – View Details』

『Retained Karma – 331,087』

There was more karma than I expected.

It’s not astonishingly large, but to the point of not doing anything, it feels like unearned income.

‘What did I do? Finally, after obtaining “Persona”… While Hans was researching magic, he collided with the church once, and took the siblings to Rappella City.’

After encountering a vampire of Jinhyeol in Talaria, Heinrich committed himself to the Shinju Church.

Most of the big events after that happened on Earth, but karma is not supplied on Earth, so if you put it out of the question…

‘…you haven’t really done much?’

Hans’ clash with the Protestant Order was brief, and Heinrich was still only a candidate for a paladin.

It’s hard to say that he had a huge impact on the world.

‘Oh, wait. Come to think of it···.’

While Heinrich was moving to the Great Temple of Roselia, there was a story he had heard from a paladin who was a guide to the city.

‘I said that I fought more vampires and warlocks than the descendants of the Immortal King. In the process, the forces of the warlock lost their base in the Kingdom of Talia and were in hiding…’

Hmm, that’s right.

So that means…

“…is it my fault?”

I did make it a little tighter though.

I didn’t know it would come back like this.

“···Ah~ How are you? That’s a good thing. Good luck, good luck! After all, if you live a good life, will it come back as a blessing? There is nothing wrong with the old saying.”

No one was listening, but after a bit of a fuss on his own, he concentrated on the Karma shop again.

First of all, it is quite insufficient to raise a unique skill.

Then either raise the status or keep it, or both.

‘Status has already been strengthened to some extent.’

Heinz died fighting a vampire, just before Heinz II was sent in.

I had strengthened various statuses such as strength and agility several times in case something similar would happen in the future.

‘I didn’t dare to invest enough to get related skills, so I just raised them evenly.’

In fact, it was very inefficient to obtain related skills by strengthening the status.

When I got 「Super Recovery」, it was when I invested a total of 310,000 points in ‘Physical – Stamina – Resilience Strengthening’.

At first, I desperately wanted to recover from my disability, so I didn’t have to think about it many times, but poured into it.

‘Now, my physical ability is enough. Since there is “super recovery”, it can be strengthened sufficiently by training. More than this is excessive greed.’

However, strengthening the mental power with status was also less effective.

Strengthening the unique skill 「Avatar」 naturally comes with increased mental power.

It’s also much more cost-effective.

‘Then it’s decided. Keep until the next unique skill enhancement.’

Having settled my worries, I continued to search the Internet for information.

‘Let’s see, Nocturnia… I found it. It’s a well-known dimension.’

A world where vampires and humans are at war with each other.

The known technology was around the early 20th century on Earth, but it was a place where anti-vampire technology was extremely developed.

Vampires are given bloodline abilities according to their bloodline, and the slayer who hunts them gets temporary superhuman power with a drug made by refining the blood.

As the never-ending war continues, it is said that he can gather enough karma in 10 years just for safe rear support work.

As vampire detection technology has advanced, it is said that there is nothing dangerous about it.

Of course, it was also possible to shorten the period by going out to the front if you had the confidence to survive.

‘Even if it’s 10 years, it’s about a year in Earth time. As there are many returnees, there is also a lot of known information.’

Collecting this information increases the survival probability of latecomers.

Thanks to this, the recent return rate has exceeded 20%.

‘In the beginning, it was said that it was less than 10 percent.’

Then, I searched for Jin So-ran.

There is nothing that comes up with my real name, so I searched by the name of the activity…

“Orchid… you are here. Oh, you were quite famous, right?”

If you have 300,000 followers, you are a well-known broadcaster.

However, upon closer inspection, her face was subtly different because of her makeup.

The beauty itself is less than it actually is, but it looks more lively and friendly.

‘Actually, vampires have pretty faces, but they are subtly inhuman. I feel like a doll.’

When I clicked the replay of the last broadcast, I remembered her happy face.

A notice of closure is shown on one side of the screen that has been turned over for a while.

‘If Heinz hadn’t been there, the broadcast would not have been on again after that announcement.’

I buried myself in the chair and closed my eyes.

Currently, Heinz is at the edge of pure blood, between level 6 and level 7 by Earth standards.

‘For now, let’s start with making Heinz Jinhyeol.’

To do that, they needed more prey…

Their habitat information and hunting tools were all in my hands.
