Episode 118. Immigration screening
‘huh?’
Kim Jin-seong flew toward the direction where the sound came from.
Soon, the sight of two ships close together came into view.
To be exact, it looked like one ship had crashed into the middle of another ship.
“Ahh!”
“Kill!”
bang! Quang!
The sounds of fierce fighting could be heard from above the rammed ship.
Kim Jin-seong decided to descend a little and check the situation in detail.
‘… Just looking at it, it’s a scene of pirates robbing a civilian ship.’
The invading side was all heavily armed, and most of the invading side looked like ordinary people.
They were falling helplessly from the indiscriminate attacks of the invaders.
‘Come to think of it, I once saw an article that there were so many pirates targeting civilian ships heading to the New World.’
The New World, which was short on supplies, always needed support from the main continent.
Many pirates began to appear targeting those very ships.
“Ahh!”
“You pirate bastards who are no better than trash! … Ahh!”
“Damn… ! If things continue like this, I’m going to die without even being able to see the New Continent… !”
Sure enough, when I heard the sound, a typical pirate invasion situation was unfolding.
‘then… .’
Kim Jin-seong, who was quietly watching the scene, soon began to descend towards the ship.
To be exact, they were rushing towards the point where the pirates were most concentrated.
“… uh?”
“What is that?!”
The pirates shouted in panic when they spotted the man-eating bird rushing towards them.
However, the speed of the man-eating bird was too fast for them to react.
Quang!
A large explosion occurred at the point where Kim Jin-seong hit.
The massive explosion was enough to stop the battle on the ship for an instant.
Naturally, everyone’s eyes turned to the direction where the explosion sound was heard.
Soon after, the smoke from the explosion cleared,
“… … !”
Everyone’s eyes widened.
The pirates were lying on the ground in a miserable state, and a young Asian man was standing in the middle of them.
“What is that guy?!”
“Kill me!!”
The pirates rushed towards Kim Jin-seong all at once, swearing in various languages.
Jinseong Kim picked up the pirate sword that was lying nearby.
He then ran towards the pirates who were running towards him.
And then the one-sided massacre began.
썣썄죤 죣죣!
“Ahh!”
“Aaaah!
“Kruk… !”
Kim Jin-seong swings his sword so fast that the people on the ship watching cannot even see it.
All I could see was the rushing pirates falling down helplessly, with blood gushing out.
In an instant, nearly 20 pirates fell.
Naturally, the pirates who were running after them had no choice but to stop.
“… … !”
“omg… !”
The pirates began to back away at the terrible sight.
They felt it instinctively.
The Asian in front of them was a monster far beyond what they could deal with.
“… “Let’s run away first!”
“Everyone get on board!”
They quickly began to flee to the pirate ship.
Kim Jin-seong watched the scene quietly without moving any further.
After all the surviving pirates were on board, the pirate ship slowly moved away from the civilian ship.
At that time, Jinseong Kim raised his sword high above his head.
And when he slashed vertically with all his might, a blue half-moon of mana was created and flew towards the pirate ship.
Quaaaang!
The pirate ship hit by the Mana Half Moon exploded with a loud noise.
Kim Jin-seong caught the eye of the pirates who had run away from the explosion, caught in the flames and burning.
Some were screaming and jumping into the sea.
Should we even deal with them? Kim Jin-seong thought for a moment and then put down his sword.
‘The monsters will take care of it.’
The underwater monsters were surging up after discovering the humans.

The monsters opened their mouths, exposing their sharp teeth, and rushed towards the pirates who jumped into the sea.
As soon as a desperate scream was heard, Kim Jin-seong turned around.
“Yesss!”
“@%$#&^@!!”
“Wow! $#$@!!”
Passengers on the civilian ship cheered at the sight.
Some of them collapsed due to lack of strength in their legs, while others were shouting in an unknown language with their middle fingers outstretched towards the pirates who were being eaten by underwater monsters.
‘… Is it Spanish?’
As Kim Jin-seong stood there dumbfounded by the unintelligible language, a man nearby spoke to him.
“Where are you from? China?”
“… SOUTH KOREA.”
“hmm… .”
After thinking for a moment, he took out a magic stone from his pocket, held it out to Jinseong Kim, and began to infuse it with mana.
Soon, a bright light was created from the activated magic stone, and began to illuminate Jinseong Kim.
Jinseong Kim was standing in the light for a moment when a notification window appeared in front of his eyes.
▶ Acquired the ‘Interpretation’ characteristic.
▷ Interpretation: Understands all languages on Earth. Can understand, write and speak.
“… “Do you understand me now?”
When the man asked again, Kim Jin-seong, who understood completely, nodded and answered.
“yes. “I understand.”
With Spanish coming out of his mouth naturally, the man put down the magic stone and shouted with a happy expression.
“Thank you for saving our lives!”
“thank you!”
“Thank you!”
“Wow!”
Soon, all the surrounding passengers approached Kim Jin-seong, shouting their thanks with bright expressions.
* * *
It was as Kim Jin-seong expected.
The ship he boarded was a ship traveling from Argentina to the Selepo New World.
“Everyone here wants to live in Selepo. “Me too.”
Joel, the Argentinian who had given him the magic of interpretation, kindly explained it to him.
“The eight people here are my colleagues. “They are all friends who did something in Argentina.”
The Argentines dressed as hunters pointed out by Joel were looking at Kim Jin-seong with sympathetic eyes.
“Especially this guy here, Rio, knows quite a few people in Selepo. “He is a hunter belonging to the ‘Triunfo’ clan, which is quite famous in Argentina, and there are many hunters from the same ‘Triunfo’ clan currently in Selepo.”
‘Triunpo… . ‘I think I’ve heard of it.’
It was a clan whose name appeared frequently on the Internet. Since Kim Jin-seong knew about it, it was clear that it was a fairly popular clan in Argentina.
“So we’re all planning to get some help from our connections in Rio until we get settled in the new continent. that… “You said your name was ‘Jin’, right?”
As Kim Jin-seong nodded, Joel asked in a soft voice.
“If you don’t know anyone in the New World, how about staying with us until we get settled in?”
“… … .”
When Kim Jin-seong didn’t answer, Joel decided that he was worried and asked his colleagues.
“What do you guys think?”
“I agree.”
“me too.”
“Just looking at the skills I saw earlier, there is no reason to object.”
“that’s right! If you have that level of skill, you can definitely get a spot in the clan! “I’ll tell you very well as soon as I get there!”
After listening to Rio’s boastful answer at the end, Joel looked at Kim Jin-seong with an expectant expression.
Kim Jin-seong, who was watching the scene, answered.
“For now, let’s go together and think about it.”
At those words, the expressions of Joel and others brightened noticeably.
There was no way there was a hunter who wouldn’t like the idea of a highly skilled person joining as a colleague.
“Nice to meet you, Jin! Please take care of yourselves in the future!”
“me too!”
“Can I talk now, Jin? “I’m Maiko!”
He thought to himself as he responded with a moderate smile when the hunters greeted him.
‘It would be okay for me to travel with you until I learn a bit about the New Continent.’
In particular, for Kim Jin-seong, who still knew very little about the Selepo continent, it was clear that traveling with someone with connections on the continent like Rio would be of great help.
‘And if it was an Argentine clan, it wouldn’t have been related to the Daehan clan.’
This was the most important reason.
From the perspective of Kim Jin-seong, who was reduced to a level 1 criminal in Korea, even if he was currently involved with other forces, it had to be a place that had nothing to do with Korea.
It was safe to say that if it was an Argentine clan, there was little chance of it being related to the Korean clan. This is because the language is different, the continent is different, and above all, it is not a country where there is exchange between clans.
‘Of course, I’ll have to go into the New Continent and check it out in detail.’
* * *
It was the next morning when the ship Kim Jin-seong was on arrived at the New Continent.
The place we arrived at was El Nakhon, the largest port on the eastern side of the Selepo continent.
Jinseong Kim was preparing to get off when he heard a loud voice.
“All those wishing to enter the country without a pass must go to the immigration management facility visible in front!!”
The word ‘POLICE’ was written on the screaming man’s armor.
‘There are police in the New World as well.’
Kim Jin-seong got off the boat and headed to the large building in front of him with Joel and his group.
The group clicked their tongues at the sight that unfolded as soon as they entered the building.
“and… . “Look at the people.”
“There’s no room to move?”
The inside of the spacious building was filled with people.
“I heard that the immigration facilities were crowded 24 hours a day after the rumor that the New World was profitable started spreading… .”
“No matter what, it’s still too much?”
Jinseong Kim, who was quietly listening to the conversation of his companions, looked around and thought to himself.
‘It means that these people are all of low status.’
In his mind, the contents of the text message Jinwoong Park sent the day before the finals appeared again.
You are finally leaving for the New World. You may never come back, so I should say goodbye in advance.
Even those of low status can be active in the New World. There is a saying that you can enjoy wealth and fame that no one else in the world can envy. In fact, it is also the continent with the largest concentration of such people.
Jinseong, whom I have watched so far, is talented enough to perform well in the New World.
Don’t be scared by the three letters ‘New World’. All you have to do is remember this. Anyway, the New World is ultimately just a place where people live.
One last thing to say… .
‘… ‘I definitely think everyone feels similar to the participants I met at the Colosseum.’
Most of the Colosseum participants were also ‘forced laborers’ who committed crimes.
There didn’t seem to be much of a difference between the atmosphere they gave off and the atmosphere felt by those gathered here now.
“Everyone, pay attention!”
At that time, the person in front who appeared to be an employee shouted in a loud voice.
“Please write down all your personal information on the card we hand out! “You must not write false information!”
Jinseong Kim received the card and pen and began filling in the blanks.
When I had roughly written everything down, the employee shouted again.
“Please come out in order from the front and stand in a line on this side!”
Soon a long line formed in front of the exit where a machine with a large monitor was placed.
Let’s stand in front of a monitor with a camera, one at a time.
Pass.
A machine voice was heard.
Pass.
Pass.
Pass.
Among the group watching this, Maiko asked Rio.
“What is that?”
“Immigration screening machine. “It’s a machine used to catch wanted people infiltrating the New Continent.”
“All the wanted people… ?”
“I’m talking about someone wanted in the ‘New World’.”
“ah… .”
Maiko feels relieved for some reason.
The line narrowed faster than expected, and soon it was almost the turn of the group standing at the end.
Pass.
Pass.
Pass.
Soon, everyone in the group passed safely and came out of the exit, and finally it was Kim Jin-seong’s turn.
It was that time when he, too, naturally wanted to stand in front of the monitor.
“… for a moment.”
The employee standing in front of the machine stopped him.
He asked while looking at the card Jinseong Kim wrote.
“Are you Korean?”
“yes.”
“Wait a moment.”
Soon the employee rushed out of the exit and immediately brought in two men dressed as hunters.
Kim Jin-seong’s eyebrows twitched.
‘Daehan Clan… !’
Kim Jin-seong’s gaze, which was looking at the Taegeuk symbol drawn on the chest, soon turned to the poster they were holding.
Kim Jin-seong’s face was plastered on the poster, and a large sentence was written in three lines at the bottom.
Name: Jinseong Kim
1st degree wanted person
Bounty: 100 billion
