Episode 42.
A park nearby.
“Ugh…!”
Siwoo was lying on the floor, unable to move his body.
Every muscle in his body was trembling and shaking.
If you work me any harder than this, I’ll commit suicide.
It felt like every single muscle fiber was protesting loudly.
A pounding heart.
My breathing also never calmed down.
“crazy….”
He was a truly crazy personal trainer.
It was on a whole different level from the personal training I had received before.
But contrary to what he said, Hercules’ teachings were quite normal.
It was a story of rise, development, turn and turn, but Hercules taught it with all his heart.
Hercules Divine Fighting (SSS).
This was just crazy.
Maybe that’s why.
“I still haven’t learned it properly….”
I’ve been stuck on this for the past few days and I still haven’t learned anything.
It didn’t even reach the level of imitation.
I couldn’t possibly follow it no matter how hard I tried.
A wall that cannot be reached no matter how hard you try.
Perhaps because of that, the proficiency related to the new martial arts did not appear on the smartphone.
“ha….”
Siwoo let out a sigh without realizing it.
Lying on the floor, looking up at the sky.
The sun was hanging over the horizon, turning the sky red.
Siwoo quietly gazed at the setting sun.
As I was looking at the scenery like that.
“Can you do it?”
I just had this thought.
Siwoo was just an ordinary person.
Being an Awakened Person could be said to be special.
But the fact that he was an awakened being without individuality dragged Siwoo down to mediocrity again.
No, it wasn’t ordinary.
A dullard with absolutely no talent.
The person named Siwoo was nothing more than this kind of person.
A dullard who is so outrageous that he can’t even be considered ordinary.
Compared to others, it was infinitely shabby.
There was no need to compare him to Hercules.
Just turn your gaze a little.
Even if you just turn your head a little bit.
There were plenty of people better than Siwoo.
While others were taking a break, Siwoo had to run.
While others were trying hard, Siwoo had to struggle.
Siwoo had to live in reality tenaciously.
“……”
Swirling thoughts.
Siwoo slowly got up from his seat.
“Phew… .”
I took a deep breath and sorted out my emotions.
doing well.
Aren’t you still trying hard now?
If you just do it like you are doing now… .
But why is that?
On the one hand, I was anxious.
Even at this very moment, as I work hard every day, I have doubts.
Siwoo’s thoughts flow in a different direction.
effort.
To exert one’s whole body and mind to achieve a goal.
Siwoo actually didn’t like the word effort that much.
Because for Siwoo, it wasn’t effort, it was just a struggle.
Outburst.
Doing all kinds of things and working hard.
But the results don’t really mean anything.
No matter how hard you try, you can’t beat guys who are naturally talented from the start.
A so-called genius.
Siwoo was far from being that kind of genius.
Unlike Siwoo, who had no talent, their starting point was far ahead.
That doesn’t mean those geniuses don’t try.
Despite his natural talent, he works harder than anyone else.
I could tell just by looking at Han Chae-rin.
Despite her extraordinary talent, Han Chae-rin did not slack off in her efforts.
He was silently doing things that were unnecessary to a genius.
The starting point is different, and the speed at which we run is also different.
So, Siwoo didn’t really like the word effort.
Because I didn’t achieve anything even though I tried hard.
It’s not like I didn’t try to be Siwoo.
He worked harder and tried harder than anyone else to get to the top.
I did my best to live like that.
But it didn’t work.
Siwoo has always been an awakened being with no individuality.
I… really looked ugly.
He seemed like a real idiot.
A retard who can’t even do that.
It felt like I had certified myself as a cripple with my own hands.
That was what effort meant to Siwoo.
For Siwoo, effort was not passion.
That’s why it’s not hot.
It’s cold and ruthless.
That’s why I hated effort.
But occasionally there were people like that.
I’m talking about people who stubbornly do something even though they know it won’t work.
They are truly stupid.
What can’t be done is what can’t be done.
Why bother with something that is nothing more than a waste of time?
Siwoo thought so.
So, I gave up in a corner of my heart.
I shook my head and said I couldn’t do it.
And a while ago, in a video of Confucius.
King Zi asked Confucius.
‘Is there a way to not lose a fight you can never win?’
To this Confucius replied:
‘That fight won’t end.’
perhaps.
On the one hand, Siwoo may have admired those efforts.
Their cold and relentless efforts.
That struggle where I shook my head and said I couldn’t do it.
Their tenacity in not giving up even though they know it is meaningless.
Maybe that was what I had been longing for.
“Phew… .”
Your emotions will subside and your mind will become clearer.
Siwoo lightly clenched his fist.
Slowly closing his eyes, he pictured Hercules in his mind.
It’s so far away.
I can’t even imagine approaching Hercules.
And it’s probably impossible.
Because mere humans cannot approach God.
But Hercules was once human too.
A hero who surpassed gods in human form.
Wouldn’t Hercules have tried his best?
Wouldn’t Hercules have been outraged?
Indeed, Hercules.
Wouldn’t you be frustrated?
Siwoo’s body moves.
Into memory, into sense.
The movements of Hercules come to mind.
The martial arts that Hercules taught were not simple fighting techniques.
It’s a movement that’s not easy to follow.
It is a power that makes one doubt whether one can dare to reach it.
That’s why now.
What Siwoo needs is effort.
Siwoo’s talent is miserable.
So the current movement was quite awkward.
It was shabby and sloppy.
But why is that?
Siwoo was feeling happy.
The sound of a fist being swing.
The feeling of the wind brushing past.
My body could move like this.
Kwaang─!
The air bursts out in a fizz.
For some reason, my body feels light.
An unknown thrill.
and.
Kkaaa …
Siwoo slowly opened his closed eyes.
A view that has drifted away like that.
The scenery of the park was breathtaking.
Never as much as Hercules.
However, a large, fan-shaped scar centered around the spot where Siwoo had struck was carved all over the park.
Tiring!
The smartphone’s notification sound is heard again.
“haha….”
Siwoo let out a hollow laugh.
A view of a park that has completely collapsed.
If I were to pay compensation, it would cost me a fortune.
“Should I look into a private training center…?”
In the end, the money will break again.
Siwoo should be happy about this or not.
I had no idea.
* * *
An email from Deokgu.
“Hoo…!”
Deokgu took a deep breath.
Still, with a trembling heart, I gently pressed my chest with both hands.
Why are you making such a fuss over something as simple as an email?
You could say that, but Deokgu couldn’t hide his trembling heart.
That’s understandable, because it’s an email sent by Siwoo.
To be exact, the video attached to that email.
What kind of weird stuff is in that video?
Even the vampire bat speed run was the same as last time.
In short, it’s a video with the same concept.
“I regained the number one spot on the Fire Witch Channel….”
A record of 34 seconds recorded by Siwoo.
So the Fire Witch Channel has once again filmed a Vampire Bat speed run video.
Thus, a record of a whopping 11 seconds was set.
In fact, it could be said that the attack was over as soon as it started.
S-class hunter, Yoo Han-na.
It was a record that was possible because it was her.
I don’t know, but it would have been impossible for other S-class hunters as well.
It wasn’t about talking about a measure of strength.
Compatibility.
Because Yuhanna’s fire magic could be said to be the best in the world.
Anyway, 11 seconds is an immortal record.
But the fact that we filmed a video with the same concept… .
Before I knew it, all the videos had been downloaded.
Deokgu took another deep breath and played the video.
Click.
What appeared as the video played was, as expected, a dark cave.
So, in front of the entrance to a dark cave.
Siwoo was standing in front of the cave entrance like last time.
[Seha! Hello, Seongnam subscribers!]
[A man who conquers everything in the world! He is a craftsman!]
With a simple greeting, Siwoo raised two fingers to his eyebrows and shot them forward.
[A new record was set on the Fire Witch Channel a while ago.]
[11 seconds. That’s a really amazing record.]
Siwoo shook his head once.
But that was only for a moment.
[So the content we’re going to do today is~!]
[Fire Witch, Conquer Yoo Han-na!]
“to?”
Deokgu tilted his head without realizing it.
[Why are you suddenly thinking of attacking Yoo Han-na?]
In the video, Siwoo’s question continues.
Deokgu nodded his head without realizing it.
[That’s right, I’m a man who conquers everything in the world! I’m a craftsman!]
[There is nothing that this craftsman cannot conquer!]
Pasha! Pasha!
Siwoo took on some rather insignificant poses.
It was quite funny, but it could also be said to be the fate of a YouTuber.
[Haha, of course you have to do that while looking at your opponent, right?]
[If I try to attack Yuhanna, I’ll probably end up like a grilled chicken.]
[So the strategy I told you is exactly that!]
[This is a strategy for the 1st place record taken by Yuhanna!]
[Okay, let’s cut the chatter out of the way and get started!]
Then, Siwoo stood in front of the entrance to the dungeon cave.
And then, hueueueup─!
He took a deep breath and lifted his right foot high.
Just slam it to the ground─.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaahh …
Suddenly, there was a loud noise on the screen and it turned off.
“…… Huh??”
Deokgu wondered what this was.
No, I was really like, what is this?
Could it be that the camera… exploded?
At the same time as that question, Deok-gu was only then able to realize that there were two videos that Si-woo had sent.
Deokgu downloaded another video and played it.
A video played with a clicking sound.
“…… Huh, huh??”
As expected, Deokgu couldn’t understand.
The second video was taken from a different angle.
It seemed like they had prepared two cameras.
As if he knew this would happen from the beginning.
Anyway, the scenery you see in the second video.
The world was falling apart.
The ground that made up the dungeon had completely collapsed.
The gate connecting the dimensions seemed to be distorted for some reason.
That was no exaggeration.
“Ah, no… .”
The world was really falling apart!
Deokgu didn’t know how to explain this.
[oh.]
And then suddenly Siwoo’s voice was heard.
[Come to think of it, maybe I can practice in the dungeon?]
practice?
What exercise?
No, you were just saying that was practice?
“…… Huh????”
Deokgu wondered what on earth I was looking at.
Dazed mind.
Deokgu quickly checked the length of the first video.
So, that was the moment when Siwoo started attacking and the camera went off.
“…… 4 seconds?”
Seriously, what did I just see?
Deokgu felt dizzy.

The response in the comments was also very good.
Hercules’ divine fighting technique (SSS) acquired after much effort.
As if rewarded for his efforts, Se-gong-nam was growing explosively.
If it continued to grow like this, it seemed like it wouldn’t be long before it made hundreds of millions in profits.
So it’s a perfect situation.
“hmm….”
But Siwoo couldn’t just like it.
To be exact, I had one question.
It wasn’t anything special.
None other than the content of the last comment.
So, the comment from the user ‘Wooreok-ah-wae-wooreok’.
“Han Chae-rin failed the dungeon raid?”
