Surviving Among the Entities

Seung-hoon Lee, who created Giga-Christ, was immediately forcibly returned to reality.
As his soul had come to the underworld through the gates of the underworld that open for 24 hours on New Year’s Day, it returned to the living world.

In the end, Seung-hoon could not see the results of the creation he had made.
Even if he had the opportunity to see it, he would not have been able to stay for a long time, so there was no way to see it.

[“Waaah!”]

However, not even an hour after he left, there were those who watched the outcome of the human Giga-Christ had saved.

[“……”]

Beyond the giant screen, the scene ended with Yun Si-woo, who had just been reincarnated.
There were no people in the conference room with the screen, only monitors.

[“So, what did you all think? I was right, wasn’t I?”]

A voice flowed out from one of the ten monitors.
The voice, which Seung-hoon would have immediately recognized as the Initial River Great King, was boastful.

[“This King of Hell candidate is a super ace that will change hell, isn’t he?”]
[“However, it’s unfortunate that we had to use the future-viewing function of the Karma Mirror, which can only be used once every thousand years, for this purpose.”]
[“Lord of Sending Souls, after all, the future predicted by the Karma Mirror is bound to come true, right? Instead of viewing a future we cannot intervene in, isn’t it more efficient to use it to assess the talents of our precious juniors?”]

The silhouette beyond the monitor with the nameplate “Lord of Sending Souls” nodded.

[“Your words make sense. His work ability was indeed excellent.”]
[“I also agree.”]

This time, the monitor in front of the nameplate “Lord of Brilliant Light” activated.

[“Although it was a minor remnant, it is praiseworthy that he used the Creator’s power not for his own gain, but for the salvation of others. Furthermore, it was impressive that he used it to recreate the Savior, who had disappeared along with original sin, and lead the sinners of hell to repentance.”]
[“But how did the appearance of the Savior come about?”]

The question came from the monitor where the nameplate “Lord of the Five Senses” was located.

[“According to the Initial River Great King’s mention, the Creator’s remnant he possessed came from the first child, so shouldn’t the first child have appeared?”]
[“The Creator’s power is the purest power, the power used to create the two children. If the Preliminary King shaped a creation with that power, focusing on the second child, it would be natural for the Savior’s mind to be connected, even if it’s only a small part and not the whole.”]
[“And the first child?”]
[“Considering what he is going through, intervention is impossible, but I speculate that he may have become a small window to observe the world as an intermediary.”]

The Lord of Brilliant Light sighed and shook his head.

[“Still, there may be an uproar from above. Even if it’s only a small part, the Creator’s most beloved child has taken on a strange form and ended up on our side……”]
[“The Creator has not moved since the second child died, and neither have those winged creatures that followed him. So don’t worry too much.”]
[“Lord of Transformation, you are always so positive.”]
[“In modern human language, it’s called a ‘lucky break,’ right?”]
[“A ‘lucky break’ is a term used to mean that everything that happens to me ultimately turns out well for me, so the usage is slightly different. You’re just being positive.”]
[“Wow! Thanks to not using it correctly, I learned the true meaning of ‘lucky break’! Isn’t this a complete lucky break?”]

Then, the Lord of Brilliant Light asked for opinions.

[“So, does any King of Hell have an opinion on recognizing the human Seung-hoon as a King of Hell after he falls to our side after death?”]
[“None from me.”]
[“I don’t have any particular opinion either.”]
[“It would be good for the number of Kings of Hell to increase.”]

Some offered their opinions, which were positive.

[“Since the introduction of the repentance system, only four individuals have escaped hell through repentance so far. All four were Arahants (enlightened beings) who had awakened to the Buddha’s teachings but fell into hell due to being entangled in the complicated fate of the secular world.”]

Following the monitor with the nameplate “Lord of the Mountain,” the speaker on the “Lord of Equality” monitor activated.

[“For ordinary sentient beings, repenting amidst the torments of hell is an impossible task. Therefore, after much discussion with Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha and others, Seung-hoon single-handedly established a groundbreaking system. Therefore, I am in favor of his ascension as a King of Hell.”]
[“Everything worked out well! What does the Lord of the Wheel of Transmigration think?”]
[“……”]

Everyone stared at the dark monitor.

[“The Hellish Darkness seems darker than usual today.”]
[“Ah, my apologies.”]

Belatedly, the monitor of the “Lord of the Wheel of Transmigration” activated.
The one shown on the screen was not a King of Hell, but a goblin.

[“The Lord of the Wheel of Transmigration left for the living world a few days ago.”]
[“The living world? For what reason?”]
[“Apparently, the humans of the living world enjoy something called ‘Marine Corps Literature,’ and a concept called ‘Lord of the Wheel Jjasae’ appeared there. They wrote extremely insulting things associating it with the ‘Lord of the Wheel,’ so he couldn’t control his anger and went to directly check who wrote it.”]
[“What is Marine Corps Literature?”]
[“Marine Corps Literature is……”]

The Kings of Hell who heard the goblin’s explanation swallowed their saliva.

[“The darkness of humans……”]
[“I absolutely do not want to look into it.”]
[“I understand the Lord of the Wheel of Transmigration’s heart.”]
[“Let’s send him to the Internet Hell after death.”]
[“Anyway, it’s unanimous, right?”]
[“One more is left.”]

This time, everyone’s gaze turned to the nameplate written as “Yama.”

[“What does Yama think?”]

Only hellfire illuminated the screen.
After waiting for a while, one of the Kings of Hell spoke up.

[“It seems he forgot to turn on the microphone.”]
[“Still, it’s a huge improvement. At least he turned on the camera, right?”]
[“At first, he used to burn the mouse and keyboard too.”]
[“At this pace, Yama will adapt to modern civilization within a hundred years.”]
[“Since he didn’t come here directly, it seems he agrees.”]

The Kings of Hell decided Seung-hoon’s treatment.

[“As the human Seung-hoon brought great change to the underworld through this field trip, we recognize him as a Preliminary King of Hell. His path has been so chaotic that it is uncertain whether he will fall to our side after death, but we will pre-emptively recognize him as a Preliminary King of Hell and engrave a mark on his soul to allow him to use some of the King of Hell’s authority.”]

Seung-hoon’s appearance was reflected on the monitor.
As the Kings of Hell stretched out their hands, something was engraved on Seung-hoon’s soul.

[“This way, even if he falls to the other side, there’s a possibility of returning him to us.”]

“Oh man.”

Opening his eyes to the familiar ceiling.
He rose from the bed, feeling the heaviness of being confined to his physical body again after losing the sense of weightlessness.

‘I couldn’t see Giga-Christ’s exploits.’

Would he properly reform the sinners?
Would the sinners properly repent following him?

“I can only believe in Giga-Christ.”

He waited a day, but there was no additional contact from the Initial River Great King.
The field trip to the Eastern hell, a somewhat unique Eastern hell due to neoliberalism and modernization, had finally ended, and he returned to his ordinary daily life.

“Oh man.”

But the after-effects were severe.

‘I saw the reality of the Eastern hell, even if partially.’

In modern Korea, mentioning the existence of heaven and hell would get one labeled as a cult.
Believing in religion was seen as proof of foolishness, and soliciting religion was considered a sin, while also being the country with the highest proportion of cults.

‘If a Crusade were to occur in the 21st century, it would probably happen in Korea.’

Nevertheless, I want to share my experience.
Regarding what kind of hell one will go to after death, and that there are other outcomes and entities waiting besides the Eastern and Western hells – according to what I saw, the Eastern hell had a high proportion of Easterners.

Therefore, many Koreans will also end up there.
I want to let them know what I saw so they can prepare at least a little.

‘Whether it’s living an upright life in advance or preparing their minds for falling into hell.’

Even if it’s only the Internet Hell among the countless hells.
It will undoubtedly be helpful as this is also a country with many internet addicts.

‘And I should let them know in advance not to be too surprised at the Giga-Christ they’ll meet there.’

Alright, let me try writing!
As he turned on the computer and tried to find a community that wasn’t blocked yet, he realized that all the recent incidents had occurred because of internet posts.

“Once is a mistake. Twice is misfortune. Three times is malpractice.”

He couldn’t repeat the same act again.
However, the flames of debate and argument burning inside him refused to subside.

“Ah.”

That’s right.

“There was that place, wasn’t there?”

“Humhum~♬”

Sarang Mulsan’s new hire, Lee So-young (27), hummed as she went to her first day at her new company.

‘Finally, the end of misfortune and the beginning of happiness!’

It had been several years since she graduated from university with excellent grades and joined the job-seeking battlefield.
However, life is a game of luck, and unfortunately, she had no luck in finding employment.

[“Miss Lee! Brew some coffee! Ehei~ Isn’t your skirt too short? Your panties might show at this rate. Well, whether they show or not, I’ll inspect it for you, so come here!”]

To be precise, she did get hired, but everywhere she went had serious flaws.

[“Miss So-young, computers are personal items, so you have to buy them yourself. Also, purchase any software needed for office work. And remember, the pantry supplies need to be replenished with personal funds by pairs of employees on a rotating basis.”]

Was she there to earn money or spend it? What a load of bullshit.

[“Your tasks will be organizing supplies, organizing the warehouse, driving employee vehicles, maintaining accounting ledgers, creating CAD drawings, checking electrical wiring, creating an employee attendance program, night security duties, and drafting next year’s budget proposal. Sounds easy, right?”]

A load of bullshit that wanted to hire a one-person company for 2.5 million won a month.

[“Miss So-young, didn’t you know you’re not supposed to talk to Team Leader Kim? He’s a loose cannon, you know? Don’t get on that line for no reason, and don’t talk to Deputy Director Oh either. He’s trash who only gifted the director a tie for his birthday. And Deputy Director Shin is a bit much too. He just does his own work and never helps with other tasks. As for the Management Team 3, they’re all idiots, so whenever they toss you some work, be sure to half-ass it and cut corners.”]

Places where factions fought like madmen as if it were the Gukga Sillok era, despite appearing to be medium-sized companies from the outside. It was a mystery why they were all like that despite their size.

“Huhuhuh! But now the misfortune ends and happiness begins!”

Hope shone in her eyes.

“Because Sarang Mulsan is definitely not a load of bullshit!”

They say the salary is several times higher than at major corporations.
They say self-development is part of the job.
They say the company is not a company, but an amusement park.
They say they periodically issue life-changing lottery tickets worth hundreds of billions of won, with a very high chance of winning.

“A legal monthly Lupin, no, a life Lupin is possible at this company!”

Suck as much money as she wants and retire in her 40s.
Then she’ll open her own cafe and enjoy a leisurely life!
On the day of her first attendance, the rarely seen chairman of Sarang Mulsan appeared.

[“Everyone.”]

The booming voice of Sarang Mulsan’s chairman, Seung-hoon Lee, who had gathered all the employees, resonated through the microphone.

[“Heaven and hell exist in reality.”]
“……”
[“Especially the Buddhist hell exists! I have witnessed the hell endured by those who committed internet-related crimes. In the so-called Internet Hell, numerous punishments related to the internet await.”]

As she listened to the story, So-young thought to herself:

[“In that place, the internet speed is excruciatingly slow, taking dozens of minutes just to obtain a security certificate, and during that time, you will experience extreme hunger and anger. The goblins will also continuously whisper the kinds of things trolls would say, provoking your anger, and also……”]

Well, if that’s the case.

[“And there is Giga-Christ in that place! This is what he looks like. Familiar, right? Yes, exactly. He has the same appearance as Jesus. Although his outward appearance may seem comical or threatening, his essence is not much different from Jesus, so if you meet Giga-Christ in hell, you will be saved.”]

Somehow, it seems her luck is better.

‘It was a cult religion after all.’
