Terrestrial Savior Archetype - T.S.A Chapter 7 (part 2): Early Departure (1)

The evaluator answered:

-It is the ability to close off entryways. In Park Jeong-woo’s affiliated area, a total of five authorities have been assigned.

Entryways.

As soon as Jeong-woo heard this word, he immediately understood what it meant.

‘It’s a gate’

He had seen this invasion method countless times in novels.

Suddenly, gates connected to other realms would open all over the world, and monsters would pour out—a common occurrence.

So, this “Savior” must be the existence that closes the gates that have started appearing everywhere.

However, in this country, there are only five closure authorities assigned.

‘So, that cleaner must have crawled out of an entryway. In other words, there’s an entryway nearby.’

Jeong-woo evaluated the evaluator in his mind, and the evaluator spoke faster and more urgently than before.

-For 24 hours from the system connection, the rescuer in charge has the obligation to sustain their life. Therefore, I will assign a mission arbitrarily.

“What?”

In a hurry, some subjects were omitted in the evaluator’s lines.

Next, a command in red letters appeared, emphasized on the right side of Jeong-woo’s vision.

[Emergency] Get out of Gaasan-dong.

‘Gaasan-dong…? That means there’s an entryway nearby…’ Jeong-woo sensed it. He quickly checked his Essence point count, and the result was an astonishing 63.

Team Leader Jo, who was hopping between the vehicles in the distance, now had 26 Essence points. However, he hadn’t learned how to use them yet.

‘Let’s just do as they say.’

Jeong-woo was still the second-ranked rescuer in the country.

According to the evaluator, the entryway closure was possible.

So, there must be a good reason why they were telling him to leave the entryway and run away.

“Everything seems to be sorted out. Let’s go!”

Jeong-woo shouted to Team Leader Jo, and he flinched slightly before looking around, worried that the cleaner might be coming after them.

While watching Team Leader Jo cautiously approaching, Jeong-woo asked the evaluator one question.

“But why do you keep emphasizing that I’m human in the interface? Aren’t all saviors are human anyway?”

He had asked with some uncertainty, but then he lost his confidence.

The evaluator responded succinctly.

-No, they are not.

Thank goodness  that team Leader Jo’s SUV was sturdy.

Even though he had collided with the “cleaner” at high speed, his car moved without any problem.

The headlights and front grille were terribly damaged, but who would care about that in this situation?

The view of the parking lot passing smoothly through the window.

However, Jeong-woo couldn’t relax.

“Closing” was enough to shock him.

It was his impression of what the evaluator said.

-“Closing” is a method commonly chosen by planets facing closure. If you spread the “essence” to various “species,” the stronger beings will naturally devour the rest. Although Earth has placed high expectations on humans, who have had a high rate of planet occupation…

At the end of the evaluator’s words, Jeong-woo saw a blur for the first time.

Was the level of discourse or the information provided limited?

Either way, according to him, not only humans but various “species” had received the essence.

That’s why the survey conducted at the company came to mind.

The first question was about a hypothetical situation: “If you had to fight against two medium-sized dogs and one human with your bare hands until one side dies, which side would you choose?”

It wasn’t just about fighting dogs; it was about facing beings physically superior to oneself.

Lions, hyenas, leopards… There were countless creatures in this world stronger than humans.

‘I should avoid the zoo area…’

Jeong-woo was half-jokingly worrying when Team Leader Jo interrupted, “If it’s Gaasan-dong, is it near Seoul National University Station?”

Their destination was Jeong-woo’s home.

That’s why he was asking for the address.

Beep, beep.

Team Leader Jo casually manipulated the navigation system, surprising Jeong-woo.

It was because the real-time road conditions were working.

“Yes… It’s near Nakseongdae Station. But why are we going around so smoothly?”

“Doesn’t it look different from what you expected? The major roads must be completely jammed by now. It’s a bit risky, but let’s go through the city. It’s better than not moving at all.”

“Yes, that sounds good.”

Jeong-woo nodded without hesitation again.

At least when it came to driving, Team Leader Jo had the authority.

He used to commute by car every day.

He must be well aware of the traffic conditions and shortcuts at different times.

On the other hand, Jeong-woo only had a driver’s license and had never really driven a car since he didn’t own one.

Even though he was chosen as a “Savior” and had learned the method of using the essence early on, he wasn’t all-powerful.

“But… Can’t I call my father just in case? It might be better to try calling when the phone signal is still working…”

Already, the car was leaving the underground parking lot, and Jo Sun-woong peeked at Jeong-woo through the rearview mirror, trying to figure out his expression.

He guessed that there might be a reason why Jeong-woo didn’t make the call at the office.

It could be because of his bad relationship with his father, or maybe his father was unwell and couldn’t answer the phone.

After all, there were various lives in this world.

Sun-woong cautiously gaugedJeong-woo’s reaction, and Jeong-woo deliberately ignored it, taking out his cellphone from his pocket.

Then he gave a bitter smile and said, “Actually, I don’t know my father’s number. I have personal reasons for that. But I’m sure he’s at home. He’s not an ordinary person… that’s how I’ve been living.”

“….?”

Sun-woong shrugged his shoulders, looking completely puzzled, and Jeong-woo pretended to ignore his expression.
