One-Punch-Man
From the next day, Kim Jin-seong’s underground life changed noticeably.
Indeed, from the moment he spoke with Go Jun-kyung, his gang did not bother Kim Jin-seong.
It was more than just not touching it, it was at the level of treating it like someone who didn’t exist… but it was clear that things had improved.
And when they did not approach Kim Jin-seong, other boys began to approach Kim Jin-seong, one or two at a time.
“Uh, hello, Jinseong? “I’m Oh Jun-hwan…”
“Do you want to eat this? “This is the chocolate I received from the audience earlier.”
“If it’s okay, can you tell me how to exercise…?”
I hadn’t been able to approach him for a while because I was keeping an eye on Go Jun-kyung’s gang who were keeping order in this waiting room, but there was no need to do that anymore.
More than anything, it was important to beat Kang Kyung-mo, one of the top ranked players.
Kim Jin-seong, who defeated the former champion with two punches, is now seen by the boys as a formidable powerhouse as strong as Go Jun-kyung.
“Hey, give me that chocolate first. “You didn’t hear anything poisonous, right?”
Thanks to this, it was Park Seong-tae who was most excited.
The fact that he was a new classmate and the only one who had previously been bullied by Kim Jin-seong had turned into a blessing in disguise.
Isn’t he strong enough to beat Choi Han-gil, who was playing around the top 10, without a single crisis?
So naturally, the children recognized Park Seong-tae as Kim Jin-seong’s right-hand man and began to follow him.
“···hmm. No problem. Hey, Brother! “I’ll put the chocolate in a drawer in your room!”
‘Why am I your brother…?’
Hearing Park Seong-tae’s voice shouting loudly at him, Kim Jin-seong sighed involuntarily.
‘Because of him, I don’t have any time to quietly rest alone these days.’
The life he wanted after signing the contract was a peaceful life where he would no longer be harassed and no one would touch him.
It wasn’t like I was living now, like I was the leader of a school gang, with kids following me around 24 hours a day.
For Kim Jin-seong, who had lived an introverted life his entire life, being surrounded by people every day was even more stressful.
‘This is why I don’t go out of the incinerator.’
The only place he could be alone was inside this incinerator.
The boys who came to Kim Jin-seong to get a good look at him did not bother to follow him to this place where the smell of burning corpses was strong.
So, as long as he was here, Jinseong Kim was able to have the alone time he so desperately wanted.
‘This is my eternal space. ‘You can never hand it over to other kids.’
In fact, when Kim Jin-seong said he would continue to use room 99 and take charge of the incinerator work, everyone in the waiting room was puzzled.
– Why do you keep doing this horrible thing?
– You don’t have to do that anymore, right?
“Hey, Brother! Now hand that over to the newbies! “What’s wrong with the guy fighting for ranking in the waiting room?”
In fact, Park Seong-tae was openly persuading me to stop doing this every day.
However, Kim Jin-seong never intended to hand it over to someone else.
A unique trait that becomes stronger only when you kill evildoers.
And an underground illegal dumping ground full of evildoers.
This is a place that exists for Kim Jin-seong, where if you lose in a match, you are considered to be no better than a corpse and instead of being treated, you are burned alive.
‘Just wait and see. ‘I’ll stay here until the end of my two-year contract!’
Kim Jin-seong made another promise to himself and put the last remaining boy’s body into the incinerator.
While living in the waiting room, which had changed drastically, I went up to the stadium once every two weeks.
Usually, the opponents are prospects ranked in the 20th to 30th place.
As per the contract, CEO Cho only gave us opponents who were much weaker than the previous opponents Kang Kyung-mo and Lee Hyeong-jun.
Kim Jin-seong was also faithful to his contract.
‘He showed himself getting beaten up a bit until the 2nd or 3rd round…’
When the game starts, in the beginning, you intentionally ‘act’ to show that you are being pushed.
If you intentionally swing your fist loudly, the other person will immediately punch Jinseong Kim in the face, thinking he is right.
However, correct hitting is not allowed. Even though it misses slightly, it ‘acts’ just enough to make a loud hitting sound.
Jump!
“Oooh!”
“I fell down!”
And when he falls, the audience stands up all at once.
And everyone is excited to see the strongest player struggling under the opponent’s player.
After about 2 or 3 rounds, the audience all shouts like this.
“Are you really going to lose this time?”
“Look at you breathing hard! “I’m already completely depleted of stamina!”
“Hey, Mr.! “I wasn’t betting on a guy who only believes in one punch and fights…!”
When the reaction of the audience deceived by the ‘acting’ goes like this,
‘I guess we can finish now.’
Thinking this, Kim Jin-seong approaches the other person. I continued to ‘act’ as exhausted as possible.
Seeing Kim Jin-seong’s slow response, the other party attacks him in a bold and triumphant manner.
At that time, Kim Jin-seong dodges the attack and throws a counter punch to the opponent’s chin with all his might.
It was truly breathtaking.
Bye!
“Wow!!”
With just one hit, the opponent’s jawbone was shattered and he often fainted.
Afterwards, if you finish by strangling, the game is over.
Kim Jin-seong, who had been consistently pushed back, achieved a dramatic come-from-behind victory with just one blow.

The audience couldn’t help but cheer at this thrilling scene.
“nice!!”
“As expected, Kim Jin-seong’s punching power is real…!”
“I told you! No matter how disadvantageous he is, he has one advantage and that makes him scary?”
“shit!! Kim Jin-seong, I believed you!!”
Kim Jin-seong also responded to their cheers.
“Aaaah!”
Kim Jin-seong jumps onto the octagonal ring and shouts.
This too was a kind of ‘acting’ to gain popularity with the audience.
* * *
After the game ended, it was past midnight.
“Come on, let’s have a drink! Ta-da~!”
In the company cafeteria where only employees come, CEO Cho, Go Jun-kyung, and Kim Jin-seong were the only three people drinking while grilling beef.
Outside the restaurant’s window, employees with guns were seen standing under tight security.
“You worked hard today too! These days, Jinseong, your acting skills are improving day by day? “You thought I really fainted when I got knocked down in the third round!”
“ha ha ha···.”
“Thanks to you, we had the highest viewership rating ever today! Betting money also reached an all-time high. Excellent! From now on, just do this! “You’re doing great!”
“yes.”
“Now, our club’s best star, ‘One Punch Man’ Kim Jin-seong! “Get another drink!”
One-Punch-Man.
It is a nickname that arose because of Kim Jin-seong’s playing style, where he is consistently pushed back but then turns the game around and ends it with a single punch.
Kim Jin-seong, who always shows dramatic victories, has already surpassed the champion Ko Jun-kyung in popularity for a long time, and now the gap has widened so much that it is impossible to compare.
An overwhelming first place in all aspects, including athletic performance, popularity, star quality, ability to mobilize spectators and betting money, etc.
To CEO Cho, Kim Jin-seong was truly the goose that gave birth to S-class magic stones.
“Hey, Jun-kyung, please bring some soju. “Oh, I told you to grill some meat, but you didn’t cook any meat!”
“···.”
Of course, from CEO Cho’s perspective, he had no choice but to be nicer to Kim Jin-seong than to Go Jun-kyung, who was about to die… no, he was leaving.
Go Jun-kyung walked from his seat to the refrigerator with a stern expression, but CEO Cho didn’t even notice and just continued the conversation with Kim Jin-seong on his arm.
“How is life in the waiting room these days? “Well, their gang isn’t bothering you or anything, right?”
“yes.”
“Oh yeah! I heard about it. “I heard that your ‘Kim Jin-seong gang’ is doing better than them these days?”
“···yes?”
What does this mean? Kim Jin-seong’s facial expression.
“Hey, you’re acting like you don’t know anything! “All the employees say that he is the ‘real leader’ who dominates the waiting room these days!”
“No, that’s not it…”
Kim Jin-seong was embarrassed and looked at Go Jun-kyung without realizing it.
However, since his back was turned, Kim Jin-seong could not see him.
A big spark appeared in Go Jun-kyung’s eyes as he was just taking out a bottle of soju.
“You’re doing great! “Junkyeong will be leaving in a month anyway, and now you’ll have to take on his role, so it’s not a bad idea to get some leadership experience in advance!”
‘No, I didn’t do anything…’
I’m so annoyed by the kids following me around all the time that I run away to the incinerator every day, so what role do I play as a leader…?
“Junkyeong, you should hand over full power to him and prepare to leave. “After serving as leader for nearly two years, it’s time to live quietly, right?”
“···.”
“Jinseong continues to be treated well by Junkyung. Still, Gao will survive if he continues to be treated like a leader until he leaves! “You know what I mean?”
“yes.”
“Now, Jun-kyung, pour yourself a drink!”
So the drinking continued. Representative Cho talks alone, Kim Jin-seong only answers, and Go Jun-kyung remains in an alienated mood.
“Now, shall we just stand up? “It’s been a while since I brought the girls over.”
“Oh~!”
Go Jun-kyung’s expression opened for the first time. However, Kim Jin-seong immediately showed a troubled expression.
“I think I should go back and get some rest. “I feel like there’s a bit more damage to my brain today than I thought…”
“Oh, then you should go and rest! Okay, you go in! Jun-kyung too…”
“yes? me too?”
“Um, no. “I already called you, so I’m sending you back, so follow me!”
Go Jun-kyung’s expression, which was about to be straight, brightened again.
Soon the three left the restaurant and walked in two halves with the staff waiting outside the entrance.
CEO Cho, who was walking towards the representative office with Go Jun-kyung,
Ugh~.
I felt a vibration in my pocket and immediately took out my smartphone.
When I looked at the screen, there was a text.
———-
Removable:
See you tomorrow around 6 PM. There is a gift that my master told me to personally deliver to you.
I’ll go to your office myself.
———-
‘It’s a gift…’
I know what a gift it is.
When Kim Jin-seong first received the bundle of money he gave to him for his attention, Lee Dong-sik called it a ‘gift’ at the time.
* * *
next day.
Lee Dong-sik, who visited the CEO’s office, immediately presented the ‘gift’ to CEO Cho.
“It is a gift prepared by my master. “This time they paid more attention than last time.”
Not even a bag, but a large box full of bills.
These are all 1 million won bills newly issued after the ‘cataclysm’.
Representative Cho checked the amount with his eyes.
“10 billion?”
“As expected, you are good at calculating things like this.”
“What do you want?”
Lee Dong-sik immediately answered CEO Cho’s question.
“Hand over Kim Jin-seong.”
“Jinseong?”
“okay. We plan to take care of it ourselves. “If you keep leaving him here, he’ll just keep winning.”
In fact, Lee Dong-sik declared that the club had given up on the plan to let him die naturally.
“Tsk tsk tsk, I thought well. Who knew Jinseong Kim was this strong?”
Lee Dong-sik’s eyes are filled with life as he responds to CEO Cho’s answer.
But CEO Cho remained calm.
“Don’t look at me like that, buddy. Did you know that it was me? But you can’t put him together with Go Jun-kyung, another star of the club, right? “How much damage will I suffer when one of us dies?”
“···.”
“And what if Kim Jin-seong wins? “Then you’re going to get beaten up by Master again, right?”
“So that’s what we’re trying to deal with.”
Lee Dong-sik immediately stood up from his seat.
“I’m busy, so let’s stop talking here. Where is Kim Jin-seong?”
“It’s in the basement waiting room.”
“Hurry and bring him. Or should I take it myself?”
“Who handed it over?”
“···what?”
Representative Cho laughed at Lee Dong-sik, who looked like he couldn’t believe his ears, and continued speaking.
“Am I crazy? “Are you just going to pass up a superstar who is attracting hundreds of millions in betting money per game for just 10 billion won?”
CEO Cho pushed the box toward the portable side again.
“At least 300 billion. No bargaining. “Tell it to your master.”
