He is a legendary prison guard. - Chapter 2
Episode 2:
A mysterious awakening
“… Yes, yes, I’m sorry. I usually work as much as possible, but I’m so sick. Yes, yes, please handle it that way. Yes, you don’t have to worry. I’ll work hard again, starting tomorrow. Yes, then, take care of yourself.”
Si-hyeon, who contacted the prison where she worked early in the morning, finally caught her breath.
I was hungover, my head was pounding, my stomach was nauseous, and so many terrible things had happened in quick succession yesterday that I was out of my mind.
First, he took out some cold water from the refrigerator and gulped it down.
I felt like I came to my senses a little.
“It’s an awakening….”
Is this some kind of trick of fate?
The day I was cruelly dumped by my awakened lover, I woke up right away.
That was the kind of awakening that made me feel the twist of fate once again.
Sihyeon sat on the sofa and opened the status window.

I definitely had an awakening.
I did it.
A jailer, a jailer.
These days, Correctional Officer Malone, or, in English, Prison Officer… .
It seemed like he was saying that.
What should I think about this?
Moreover, the modifier is ‘depressed’.
Even at a glance, it is an extremely bizarre modifier.
Because I’m depressed…
I didn’t know much about awakening, but I heard something about it from the media or the Internet.
When awakened, the simplest thing in the status window that allows you to roughly understand the awakened person’s abilities at a glance is the modifier.
For example, the modifiers of Class A awakened people are very positive things such as ‘great, great, outstanding’.
And the modifiers are, for example, a great knight, a great wizard, or an excellent priest.
Conversely, the modifier for an E-class awakened person was ‘clumsy, immature, clumsy.’
These were also labelled as clumsy knights, inexperienced wizards, and clumsy priests.
But, absurdly, the epithet ‘depressed’ that was applied to him now had a completely different personality.
Isn’t this a word that literally expresses an emotion or mood state?
How do you figure out your abilities with this?
No, I’ve never even heard of such a modifier for an awakened person in the first place.
It’s the first modifier I’ve ever heard of for a job I’ve never heard of before.
It’s getting more and more confusing.
And famous too.
‘Very famous?’
Being very famous meant that the original owner of this awakening power was very famous in that world.
Although there were those with only a vain name, fame was usually tied to skill.
If so, there was a possibility that it was a high grade.
Next is the title.
An iron-blooded jailer and a fanatical executioner.
The name was creepy and scary, but the actual effect was enough to raise a question mark.
The figures of 1,000% and 500% seemed extremely high, but upon closer inspection, the opponents were limited to prisoners and death row inmates.
This means that it is of no use to the monsters at the important gate.
It was a perfect match for the expression ‘bright apricot’.
If you show the status window to others, they will no doubt shake their heads.
The stats are below.
The worst of the worst.
The stats all had the letter E attached to them, teasingly.
The number one person on the list was such that it would be a waste to even call him an awakened person.
Sihyeon sighed softly.
“Ha… Lastly, the skill.”
I was sure there was something, but I couldn’t figure out what it was because everything was ‘???’. Moreover, seeing that it was marked as inactive, it seemed like it couldn’t be used.
Plus, the number is just 3.
It was a very small number, suitable only for E-class.
I heard that in the case of Class A, skills easily exceed double digits.
I just woke up, but is this what it looks like?
Is it class E? Is it really class E?
The words I heard from Sujin, ‘such as a guard’, bitterly passed through my mind. And her laughter seemed to come from right in front of her.
Are you saying that there are no guards in this world or that world?
What’s wrong with the jailer?
Is the protagonist of fantasy a knight or a wizard?
Can’t the jailer be the main character?”
After calming down by taking a deep breath for a moment, Sihyeon sat down in front of the desk where the computer was placed.
The purpose was to check in more detail about the awakening once again.
The Internet is a treasure trove of information if used properly.
In particular, there was a lot of information that seemed useful for those with a very high interest index, such as awakened people.
Sihyeon found Power Blogger’s well-written article about the Awakened and read it from the beginning.
The preface began with a description of a terrible tragedy that occurred ten years ago for unknown reasons when gates to other dimensions opened around the world.
Unidentified monsters poured out of the gates that opened simultaneously.
The monsters slaughtered people as if they were bloodthirsty.
The army was quickly mobilised to stop the monsters, but, absurdly, none of the modern weapons worked against them. Humanity was in chaos and helpless, and more than tens of millions of people lost their lives on the first day alone.
If this continues, the only thing left to do is destroy humanity.
Fortunately, despite the misfortune, humans who had awakened the power of their supernatural abilities began to appear.
They were so-called awakened beings who used unfamiliar powers such as swords and magic through the means of the system.
Their new powers worked against the monsters.
With the power of the awakened people, the world barely survived the crisis, and they took on the role of a shield, protecting humanity from the monsters of the gate.
Nowadays, an awakened person is something that most people fear and admire.
Sihyeon continued to read the paragraph describing the awakened person’s stats.
“Hmm… Usually, the basic stats of a D-class awakened person are 100. C-class is 300, B-class is 500, and A-class is 700. It goes up by 200. And those under 100 are E.”
Basic stats simply refer to major stats.
For knights, it was strength and agility, and for wizards and priests, it was wisdom.
For example, even if a knight had low wisdom, it did not matter at all in setting the level.
Of course, there were common key statistics. Horsepower.
You could only use active skills if you had magical power.
And more powerful skills required more magical energy.
In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the amount of magical power determined the grade.
This is because only magical power can be measured externally using a magical power metre made of magic stones.
Other stats were not known unless the person revealed them.
And there weren’t many awakened people who wanted to reveal it. The status window is much more important than modern personal information. If it went a little further, it could have been life-threatening information.
However, in any case, there is no problem with grading based on magical power. The more magical power you have, the higher your stats and the better your reputation and skills are.
In other words, the amount of magical power was proportional to the grade, so much so that it could almost be said to be a law.
“But the magic power is 1….”
Sihyeon’s magical power is now 1.
If you go to the Hunter Association like this and try to obtain a hunter license, you will inevitably be rated E.
Class E was destined to be at the bottom of the guild for the rest of its life, that is, as a laggard in the raid group.
Sihyeon, with a bitter smile, read the paragraph written about Wei Myeong this time.
Along with the obvious statement that prestige is as important as stats or skills, there were several examples of prestige from grades E to B.
Sihyeon read it while comparing it with his own name.
Grade: E Rank Name: Magic Academy’s failed student 000 is a failed student at the Lion Magic Academy. He was the laughing stock of the entire school. The time it takes to cast magic increases by 100%. The power of magic spells decreases by 70%.
“Wow, this isn’t even a joke. I really don’t want to live in this world. The government needs to take care of me mentally.”
I heard that a famous name means a powerful reputation. Is this a powerful reputation? Fame is fame, but… .
Grade: D Rank Name: Good at controlling anger Knight-000 has a reputation among his colleagues as a knight who is good at controlling his anger. To those who are weaker than you, you become a berserker, but to those who are even a little stronger than you, you become a pacifist like a ghost. – When dealing with an enemy that is weaker than you, all your stats increase by 50%, and you become more triumphant. than you are. When dealing with strong enemies, all stats decrease by 50% and become servile.
“Hey, this too… Well… I guess I’ll be good at dealing with random mobs.”
Is there anything that’s not right?
Sihyeon read Class C this time.
Grade: C Rank Name: Kobold Slayer-000 is an angry kobold hunter. After his father was killed by a kobold, he decided to spend his life hunting kobolds. And he piled up a mountain with kobold corpses until he died. When dealing with kobolds, all stats increase by 100%, and the efficiency of all skills increases by 60%. -Kobolds get scared when they see you and try to run away. . Falling into a state of runaway.
Finally, a pseudonym with no negatives has emerged.
After all, I felt like I had to be a C-level person to be useful as an awakened person.
But he’s a slayer, 100%? 100% is not less. If the C-class stat is 300, if it increases by 100%, it becomes 600, which means it will surpass the B-class stat when dealing with kobolds.
If you think about it that way, if a grade A worth 700 is increased by 100%, it would be 1,400.
“Even at the same percentage, the statistics of higher grades increase dramatically. It’s a monster, a monster….”
Class C is also like this, so there’s no way the prestige of Class B or A would be lower than this, right?
Sihyeon hurriedly looked at the B-class name.
Grade: B Rank Name: Ellason’s Prodigy-000 was a wizard famous as a prodigy in his hometown of Ellason since he was young. Although he came to the capital and realised that he was not a genius, everyone recognised that he was a brilliant upper-class wizard. capable of high-speed casting (medium). The time it takes to cast magic has been reduced by 30%. Magic amplification (medium) is possible. The power of magic spells increases by 35%.
“uh?”
Rather, the level of class B was lower.
Si-hyeon, who was lost in thought for a moment, shook his head as he realised something.
There are no restrictions.
Although the number was low, it was a prestige that was helpful in any situation without restrictions.
When attacking a gate, you don’t just have to beat up kobolds for the rest of your life; Ellason’s prodigy is a higher rank with much higher usefulness.
“I see, if there are restrictions, the numbers go up. That’s why there are such huge restrictions….”
1,000% for prisoners only.
500% only for death row inmates.
In fact, it cannot be used at all against monsters that appear at the gate.
It was a moment when I understood that my reputation was between 1,000 and 500%.
Lastly, I searched for over 30 minutes on the Internet using the keyword ‘Awakened skill deactivation’, but nothing came up.
“Hey.”
Tired, Sihyeon turned off the computer and lay down on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
He gets dumped by his lover and becomes an awakened person, and his ability to awaken is full of questions.
“Isn’t there something like a tutorial or quest in an online game? That would solve something.”
That was when I was muttering to myself like that.
A new message appeared before my eyes without any warning.
After carrying out the execution of his dearest friend, Poachim was extremely shocked and depressed, and he locked himself alone in the northernmost part of the continent, where even his breath was frozen. In addition, he was on the verge of death due to the effects of not eating or drinking for a long time. [He might die if he doesn’t get some food soon.]
[Emergency Quest: Eat food as quickly as possible.]
A new path was opened for Sihyeon.#
