Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad

In front of Choi Hyun-seok was a device with a familiar design.

A curved earpiece with a green lens in the front.

“It’s a scouter I bought for 50 points.”

“What…?”

Rachel looked completely clueless.

Choi Hyun-seok began to explain with a friendly expression.

“You never watched cartoons when you were a kid? Do you see this green lens? If you look at your target with this, you can see their combat power.”

“I know that it’s a device used by the Saiyans!”

“So what’s the problem?”

“Hero, what I’m trying to say is whether it was worth 50 points?”

“Of course.”

Choi Hyun-seok smiled and continued.

“This will show the overall combat power of the demons. Even my upcoming opponent, Kurken.”

“So?”

“First, I ask the cooks for a spar.”

“Spar?”

“Yes. Roughly picking a cook who has a similar combat power to Kurken. Wouldn’t that be very helpful as practice?”

“Well…that makes sense.”

Currently, all the cooks, including the head cook Kulkan, are completely captivated by his spice.

They will listen to his requests without any hesitation.

“Also, this scouter can be used on demon beasts. I’m sure it’ll be very useful in future hunts.”

“You need the scouter to hunt?”

“Yes. Of course I need it.”

Rachel tilted her head at Choi Hyun-seok’s answer.

“That’s weird…You’re cowardly hiding and attacking when they’re on their last breath anyway. And yet, you still need it?”

“I’d like it if you use the word smart instead of cowardly.”

“Let’s skip the small details.”

“Haa…shoo…”

Choi Hyun-seok breathed a sigh and continued.

“Anyway, you’re not wrong. I don’t really need it. But things have changed.”

“What has?”

“Maybe it’s because I’ve gotten a lot stronger, but I don’t think I’ll be able to get much experience by just last hitting these days.”

At first, his level went up even with a last hit.

However, now that he has reached level 100, it’s not easy to level up in that way.

“It’s going to be harder from now. So, I’m going to use the scouter in advance and pick the weaklings. That way I can gain some real combat experience.”

“Ah…that’s a good idea.”

Rachel nodded, holding her chin.

“Alright. Then, let’s get started.”

Choi Hyun-seok picked up the scouter.

[Poor Combat Power Meter]
Description: Combat power is measured by combining the Strength, Agility, Stamina, and Mana of the target viewed by the Combat Power Meter.
Ability: Reveal the approximate combat power of the target.

The item description is not very reliable, but it’s okay.

“As long as it doesn’t break and works properly.”

Choi Hyun-seok wore the scouter and looked at Rachel.

Then the number, which had stopped at zero, gradually began to rise.

“Ooh, I see.”

Beep!

The check was quickly completed.

[Combat Power: 375]

When he saw the number on the lens, he suddenly wondered.

How strong is 375 combat power?

“Your combat power is 375, but I don’t know how strong that is.”

“Well, don’t you think we’ll find out once we measure you?”

“Then let’s have you look at me this time.”

“How am I supposed to use this?”

Rachel whimpered and picked up the scouter.

Rachel was so small that she couldn’t use the scouter that was as big as her.

“This is how you do it.”

Choi Hyun-seok grabbed the scouter and placed it on the table.

“Put your face here. Wouldn’t that be fine?”

“Ooh, I see.”

Choi Hyun-seok smiled at Rachel, who became quite excited.

It was cute to see her amazed face in front of the lens that was bigger than her head.

“Is it being measured?”

“Yes! The numbers are going up!”

The ever-increasing numbers finally stopped.

Beep!

“How much is it?”

Rachel looked uncomfortable when asked by Choi Hyun-seok.

“I…think it’s broken…”

“Why?”

“Hero, your combat power is 1560. It’s too high!”

[Combat Power: 1560]

Rachel pouted at the combat power nearly five times higher than hers.

“Rachel.”

Choi Hyun-seok approached and put his finger on Rachel’s shoulder.

“Aren’t you too weak?”

“Ueueu…”

“You need to train diligently. It’s 5000 years too early for you to be my partner with that combat power.”

Rachel became angry at Choi Hyun-seok’s teasing.

“No way! This is broken! No, if I was in my original form, wouldn’t my number exceed yours!? It’s because I’m a personal fairy now!”

“Yeah, yeah. I get it, so it’s 4000 years too early.”

“Ueue…! Annoying!”

“Hahahaha!”

Seeing the aggrieved Rachel, Choi Hyun-seok laughed loudly as if he was satisfied.

“This is fun. Should we take a look at Bobo this time?”

“Hmm…look or not…”

Rachel spun her head around.

However, she seemed to be curious about Bobo’s combat power after some thought.

“Bobo, stay where you are.”

Choi Hyun-seok wore the scouter and looked at Bobo.

“Keuru..”

Bobo, who was yawning after dinner, closed his eyes again after he glanced at Choi Hyun-seok.

He guessed Bobo was sleepy.

“Ooh! It’s going up.”

The number on the lens rose rapidly.

Choi Hyun-seok watched with anticipation.

“Hmm…?”

Suddenly, Choi Hyun-seok narrowed his forehead.

The number was strange.

“This is strange.”

“Why? What’s going on?”

“His combat power is more than 10,000.”

“What…?”

“But it’s still going up.”

The 10,000 combat power began to rise faster and faster.

“Huh…?”

Beep!

Finally, the soaring number stopped.

“What? How much is it?”

Rachel approached with a curious look and asked for the result.

“4…”

“4?”

“47,422…”

[Combat Power: 47,422]

No matter how many times he looked at it, the result was the same.

It was over 40,000.

Rachel scoffed at the result.

“Ha! After all that talk about my low combat power, you’re no big deal either!”

“No, like you said, it seems to be broken.”

Choi Hyun-seok said with a serious face.

But there was no way Rachel would believe such a thing.

“Hey, there’s no way the equipment you just bought would break immediately, right? It’s just that hero is incredibly weak. Embrace the reality.”

“…”

Choi Hyun-seok approached Bobo without a word.

Then he started patting his head carefully.

“Bobo, is there anything you want to eat?”

Bobo still looks sleepy without a care in the world.

“Let’s be friends in the future.”

“Keuru…”

“Good! My cutie!”

Bobo yawned and closed his eyes.

Looking at his figure, Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes were filled with an endless warmth.

* * *

Next day.

Choi Hyun-seok left Bobo’s home even before sunrise.

“Why are you leaving so early today?”

“Hmm. I want to take a look around on the way.”

Choi Hyun-seok is currently a Saiy…No, he was wearing the scouter. It was to check the combat power of the demon soldiers on his way to the kitchen.

‘Hmm…as expected of the demon army.’

Choi Hyun-seok looked at each passing soldier’s combat power and realized that the average combat power was quite high.

[Combat Power: 960]
[Combat Power: 1,620]
[Combat power: 1,350]
[Combat Power: 1,100]

‘These guys were born monsters after all…I can only say that I’m finally at the starting line.’

Choi Hyun-seok is an ordinary human.

On the other hand, the monsters here are demons.

“

Choi Hyun-seok realized that fact once again.

‘The weakest monsters are the goblins.’

Occasionally he would find demons who had particular weak combat power, all of whom happened to be goblins.

[Combat Power: 231]

Most of the goblins he met didn’t have a combat power that exceeds 300, perhaps due to their small size.

At this time, Choi Hyun-seok opened his mouth without realizing it.

“Whoa… what’s this?”

This is because he saw a demon with a particular high combat power.

[Combat power: 14,300]

The number is over 10,000.

It was an overwhelming number compared to the other soldiers he had met.

‘Why is it so high? Is it really broken?’

Choi Hyun-seok’s question was quickly answered.

“Commander Volkman. Where are we heading today?”

“Today’s work is…”

Choi Hyun-seok nodded as he listened to the conversation he overheard.

‘He’s a demon army commander.’

Officers and commanders seemed to be on a different level than ordinary soldiers.

‘If you have a good bloodline, you have a different level of strength…The world is really unfair.’

There are a few things he has picked up since he started working in the demon army.
One of those things is bloodline.

It is said that bloodline is more important in demons than humans.

It can be said that there is a limit to strength almost from birth.

Just by looking at the fact that Bobo, who has not yet become an adult, has a combat power of over 40,000.

“Hero. What are you doing?”

“Huh?”

“Let’s go check out the orc Kurken.”

“Ah, right!”

Today’s biggest goal was to look at his opponent, Kurken.

Choi Hyun-seok, who remembered it after hearing Rachel’s words, immediately quickened his pace.

“How strong do you think the orc is?”

“Well, since Kurken is definitely an officer, wouldn’t he be like the others?”

Today he looked at a few officers’ combat power and it was around 2,000 to 3,000.

Therefore, he expects his opponent Kurken to be around that.

“Maybe in the high 3000s is my guess?”

However, expectations are always far off from reality.

Choi Hyun-seok, who didn’t know that fact yet, walked with light steps.

* * *

“I think it was around here.”

After a while, Choi Hyun-seok arrived near the barracks where Kurken was located.

He remembered because he had come here with Hemi before.

Boom! Boom!

“What’s this noise?”

“Let’s check it out.”

There was a commotion coming from nearby.

As he followed the source, he could see his opponent Kurken training.

“What’s that…?”

“Yeah…”

Kurken’s muscles, wiggling from afar, were extraordinary.

The muscle pig Kurken was holding a thick iron club and hitting it on a stretch of boulders.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Every time the iron club fell, a large boulder shattered and a boom was heard.

Despite the distance, debris from the broken boulders flew near Choi Hyun-seok’s feet.

“Hero…What’s the pig’s combat power?”

Choi Hyun-seok, who was looking at the combat power through the lens, closed his eyes.

[Combat Power: 6,671]

“Why are you silent? What’s his combat power?”

“6,600…”

“6,600!?”

Rachel panicked when she heard Kurken’s combat power.

“What? Did you see that wrong? Is there a sprain in your eye?”

“No. It’s the same again…This is indeed bullshit.”

When he first came here, Choi Hyun-seok was a very ordinary human.

Perhaps he didn’t know, but his combat power was less than 500.

But he was only given a month to beat a monster like that.

“She was just sending me to my death.”

Maybe Hemi didn’t intend to let him live in the first place?

All kinds of thoughts crossed his mind.

“Hero. What do we do now…?”

Rachel asked with an anxious look.

He has 15 days left.

With that amount of time, it didn’t seem likely that Choi Hyun-seok could beat such a monster.

“Huu…no, it’s too early to give up. I’ll try everything I can.”

He didn’t intend to die like this.

No matter if it’s poison or assassination.

One way or another, he will survive by killing Kurken.

★☆★☆ Hero Quest! ★☆★☆

Oh no! Your chances of winning against that muscle pig looks close to zero!
But I’m very impressed by your persistence in this desperate situation!
So I’d like to give you a chance!
Reach a combat power of 3,000 within a week!

Objective: Reach a combat power of 3,000 within a week.
Reward: 300 Hero Points

A hero quest was given at the perfect timing.

“I just received a hero quest.”

“What is it?”

“The hero quest. It wants me to reach a combat power of 3,000 within a week.”

Rachel cried at the words 3,000 combat power.

It had taken him three weeks to achieve a combat power of 1,500.

But now he has to gain an additional 1,500 within a week.

“Anyone can see that it’s too much!”

“I’ll have to try.”

Choi Hyun-seok gritted his teeth.

“It’s either do or die.”

Hero Choi Hyun-seok.

There was no giving up in his vocabulary.

Blonde noblewoman, five rabbit-like children, and dying of old age in a big mansion!
