Trash of the Count's Family

Choi Han had lost consciousness while watching Eruhaben catching his falling body with a shocked expression.

Tons of memories had flown into his mind.

He had then become Choi Jung Soo.

“Hey, Jung Soo.”

Choi Han had become Choi Jung Soo, starting with Choi Jung Soo’s mom smiling and telling him something.

“Our family has stayed here for generations. We cannot leave.”

“Why not?”

His grandfather had faintly smiled and answered Choi Jung Soo’s question.

“I had a nephew…I guess he would be your uncle once removed. Anyway, it is because there is someone who needs to come back. There’s my younger brother as well… what would happen if they came back here thinking that they were back home only to not find anyone here?”

The young Choi Jung Soo had nodded at his grandfather’s explanation and smiled.

The largest tile-roofed house in the neighborhood. He liked this house and enjoyed watching his older cousins, his mom, and his dad moving around while punching or swinging wooden swords.

Choi Jung Soo slowly got older.

Choi Han had experienced everything as Choi Jung Soo.

Then one day as he finished his studies and prepared to take the exam to enter college in the physical education department…

The world turned into chaos.

Something that seemed straight out of a movie happened.

A terrible horror movie at that.

Once the first part of that movie ended…

“…I promise I will return.”

Choi Jung Soo had kowtowed twice while looking at the destroyed tile-roofed house.

Nobody lived in this house now. He worked hard while trying to repair it as much as possible, but the grandeur of this upright place was long gone.

“I will return… and turn this place back to how it used to be.”

Choi Jung Soo, the only survivor from this house, made a promise with everyone.

He then started to work for a company.

It was a company in an awkward position as it was neither a guild nor a government entity, but it was able to take on all sorts of jobs because of this ambiguous status.

“Oh! Are you the only other rookie? My name is Choi Jung Soo! Nice to meet you!”

“…Kim Rok Soo. Nice to meet you.”

Choi Jung Soo had warmly greeted his new colleague.

“Time to go on a business trip.”

“Team-leader-nim, you mean to go to work, right?”

“Same difference.”

Choi Jung Soo started to do all sorts of jobs with his fellow rookie Kim Rok Soo, team leader Lee Soo Hyuk, and the others on their team.

He was always getting hurt and doing the hard tasks because he was responsible for fighting in the vanguard.

It was still bearable.

It was because he had people who were like family, no, because he had a new family.

Choi Jung Soo's memories had continued.

‘I hope peace returns to Earth and we can all live happily ever after.’

He had looked at his teammates and started to think.

‘I'm going to take everyone to my hometown. The tile-roofed house is large, and it looks like I already convinced the team leader-nim and Kim Rok Soo!’

He could smile while thinking about the future every so often as they completed their missions.

It was a pure smile that was not forced.

However, he was always worried.

This world was one where he never knew when he would die.

‘Looks like that time is finally here.’

Choi Jung Soo had to face a time when his concerns had become reality.

“…Choi Jung Soo.”

“I'm okay, team leader-nim.”

He smiled and responded to Lee Soo Hyuk. However, his gaze could not move away from the large monster.

It was the appearance of the monster that Kim Rok Soo had predicted.

That monster was beyond their wildest imaginations.

‘I might die.’

He couldn't help but have that thought.

“Pfft.”

He could hear team leader Lee Soo Hyuk laughing. Jung Soo turned his head to see Lee Soo Hyuk stoically start to speak while pointing at his hand that was holding the sword.

“You can talk like that while your hand is shaking that much?”

Jung Soo could see his shaking hand. He then started to smile and asked as if nothing was wrong.

“Hyung, is it that obvious?”

“Yes. Very obvious.”

“Ay, that’s too bad.”

The team leader had shaken his head at Jung Soo’s response. He then sent the signal.

“Attack! Use the paths that Kim Rok Soo predicted!”

All of their teammates had started to charge toward the monster.

“Team leader, the three o’clock direction! Two of you head North while three go Northwest!”

Choi Jung Soo listened to Kim Rok Soo's support from the back as he pulled out his sword.

Baaaaaang!
