A Side Character's Mission ↠ Solo Leveling

Chapter 4: The Fight

At the crack of dawn, Seung-Eun sat upside down on the sofa as he watched the previous footage of Jin-Woo in completing his Daily Quest. The first time Jin-Woo received it, like Seung-Eun did, he ignored it and received a heavy punishment.

He was teleported in the middle of a dessert where behemoth centipede-like monsters were trying to eat him and Jin-Woo had to run for four hours under the scorching sun. It might be cruel and sadist of Seung-Eun to create such a brutal punishment, but he couldn't have Jin-Woo ignoring the system he had pour his blood, sweat and tears to create. After he got the punishment, though, he finally became obedient and did the push-ups, curl-ups, squats and running although he still got treatments in the hospital.

Seung-Eun blinked and the screen switched to show Jin-Woo's status.

Jin-Woo didn't get Reawakening in the Double Lair but a system that will continue to make him stronger. Though the job was tough, at the same time, Seung-Eun anticipated to see his improvements.

When Seung-Eun felt that his blood rushed to his head, he sat properly on the couch and closed the windows. In one of the random boxes that Seung-Eun delivered as rewards for completing the Daily Quest, there was a key to the Dungeon in Hapjung Station. If Jin-Woo managed to clear it, he would get as strong as a C-ranker. He also didn't need to clear the other low level Dungeons Seung-Eun had prepared for him.

"Seung-Eun, breakfast is ready!" Seung-Eun quickly hoped on his feet as he rushed towards the dining room. In the middle of running, he accidentally jabbed his pinky toe on the leg of a wooden table. "Aah!"

The man who previously called him cringed and scolded, "Don't run inside the house, idiot..."

Seung-Eun teared up as he hopped with one leg towards a chair. "But I'm so starving that I can't wait to taste the breakfast you worked so hard to make, Se-Yoon." Even in pain, he still had the time to joke around.

Se-Yoon ignored his sarcasm as he placed empty bowls on the dining table. "If you are so lively in the morning, wash the dishes after this."

"Aah, my toe hurts!"

"Don't be lazy."

Seung-Eun pouted like a child.

This man was Seung-Eun's unrelated blood brother who grew up together with him back then in the orphanage. Back in their previous country, Seung-Eun dragged him into Seoul and Se-Yoon had to changed his job to work as an inspector in Korean Hunter Association under the monitoring division.

After the two of them finished eating, Seung-Eun washed the dishes and then go to school. Several students greeted him along the way as he was famous for his looks and easy to approach, though most of the people were the one who approached him first. Upon entering his classroom, he saw Hae-Seong sitting on his seat and playing with his phone.

"Hae-Seong, what the..."

"Don't curse."

An eye patch on his right eye, a cut on his lips and purple bruise on his upper left cheek. Seung-Eun was bewildered to see his friend's horrible appearance. "Did you get into a fight?"
