Earth Defense Plan (3)
Jeong Se-chan was admitted to a relatively good university as a special student in physical education.

However, in the case of the physical education department, the hierarchy among seniors was still very strict, and Jeong Se-chan, who had a relatively free spirit despite playing sports, had a hard time in that environment.

This is because Jeong Se-chan was a talented person rather than a hard worker.

In the end, I finished my first year and went straight to the military.

He wanted a comfortable position, but due to the nature of his military service, he was drafted into a forward reconnaissance unit and was struggling.

Coming to the military, I realized deep down that the ranking games at school were ridiculous.

The problem arose due to an unidentified strange phenomenon called a recently opened portal.

Unfortunately, the search battalion that Jeong Se-chan was assigned to was designated as the regional unit in charge of preparing for the portal.

They were given live ammunition and were given heavy weapons such as grenades and grenade launchers that they normally only saw.

I also heard that the mechanized infantry division from the neighboring town is preparing.

The location of the portal that opened in Korea last time was Cheonan City.

I don’t know where the portal that will open this time will be.

That is why we mobilized as many units as possible to establish a regional defense plan.

The unit that Private Jeong Se-chan belonged to was in charge of the northwestern part of Seoul and the northwestern part of Gyeonggi Province.

To be exact, the operational areas were Eunpyeong-gu in Seoul, Goyang, Yangju, Uijeongbu, and Dongducheon in Gyeonggi Province.

While waiting in the operation area, Private Jeong had a feeling of ‘no way’.

Last time, only one portal was opened in Korea.

He thought that among all the regions across the country, there was no way that the strange portal would open in the region he was in charge of.

But Private Jeong’s dream was shattered easily.

– AS156 detector. Mana anomaly. Location. 37°50’56.5″N 126°53’07.0″E Beopwon-eup, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea. 500m next to Yulgok Middle School.

Private Jeong was diligently preparing to go out while shouting ‘Damn’ in his mind.

While I was on a mission, I heard that there were not one, but two portals open in Korea.

Rumor has it that special forces are being prepared at the portal detection central control center in Seoul…

Paju is close to Seoul.

If there are any special measures at the government level, there is a high probability that those measures will come to Paju, and then the chances of Private Jeong surviving will increase.

I was thinking to myself that it was fortunate.

“Private Jeong. Did you hear that story?”

“Huh? What is it?”

“There are two open portals in Korea.”

“Yeah. I heard that too.”

“But that one portal opened in Pangyo.”

“What? Pangyo??”

“Yes. This is a big deal. My aunt lives in Pangyo. What if something………”

“Hey. Private Park.”

“yes?”

“Don’t worry about your aunt, just worry about how we can live.”

“What is that?”

“Haven’t you heard the rumor? There’s a very special force being prepared at the Central Control Center in Seoul.”

“I heard.”

“Then where do you think those troops will go? Here? Or Pangyo?”

“Um… I guess it’s more likely that I’ll go to Pangyo. It’s closer to Seoul. It’s in a wealthy area. Gangnam could become dangerous.”

“So. Then who should block this place until then?”

“Ah~!!”

“Wake up. Okay. Get ready to get off now.”

“yes”

After the strange phenomenon called Portal occurred, preparations made by countries around the world were refreshing to the public.

It is true that there was some damage to the portal last time, but it was only about 10.

So, I never thought that a solution on a human level would be established with the thought that it was a problem that had nothing to do with us.

However, unusually, the US and China took strong countermeasures, and in a time that made one wonder, ‘Is Earth’s scientific and technological capability really this advanced?’, machines called portal detectors were spread all over the world.

Thanks to this, the response will be different from last time.

Within 20 minutes of the portal opening, the first regional units arrived and began constructing a large-scale defensive line surrounding the portal.

Soon, the second firepower unit, the Mechanized Infantry Division, arrived in 50 minutes.

As originally planned, the main force arrived within 30 minutes, and the auxiliary firepower unit arrived within an hour.

We prepared hard, more than ever before, digging trenches and setting booby traps.

Not a single soldier is seen slacking off.

This is real life.

More than 300 people died in the last portal incident.

A monster with strong resistance to firearms.

The rifles they have are not powerful enough to stop them.

From simple booby traps to anti-personnel mines, claymores, etc.

Heavy machine guns, anti-tank rocket launchers, and armored vehicles form a defensive line.

Further to the rear, a K2 Black Panther tank is also waiting.

All of these preparations were completed within two hours of the portal opening.

Now, in about an hour, a monster will appear.

But it could come out sooner.

The 3 hours or so was just an example from last time.

All deployed soldiers stare at the portal in solemn tension.

But after about 30 minutes, a commotion broke out and a commotion was heard from the outer edge of the defensive line.

Private Jeong turns his head slightly, keeping his gun still, and looks back.

‘What the heck? Those guys? What kind of picnic are they having here? Huh? Swords? Longswords? Cosplay club? What’s the outlying auxiliary unit doing? How did those guys get to the operation area…. Huh?’

Private Jeong saw Tustar (★★) leading(?) a group of 5~6 people who appeared to be a cosplay club.

Eventually, Tusta and the club members reached the closest point to the portal.

At that moment, a new order was handed down from the radio receiver plugged into Private Jeong’s ear.

– The Operations Headquarters is notifying. Special forces from the Central Control Center have arrived. Everyone, standby as you are now and do not fire or otherwise respond. I am notifying you again. As of now, the special forces are in charge of the portal response operation. Do not use force under any circumstances until further instructions are given. Everyone, change all personal firearms to ‘safe’ mode to avoid accidental discharges.

‘Those weird guys are special forces?? What the hell is that?’

But to make matters worse, the sound of a helicopter’s propeller can be heard loudly in the air.

I look up at the sky and see helicopters from broadcasting stations such as KBB, MBD, and SVS.

‘Haha. They’re broadcasting this scene right now? Are these guys crazy?’

But the soldiers’ doubts were short-lived.

The portal began to glow brightly and shudder.

Only then do the four men with longswords draw their swords and take up their stances.

Behind him, 3-4 meters behind, there is a man holding a cane(?).

‘Huh? A knight, not a warrior or a magician?? Isn’t that a setting you often see in fantasy novels or MMORPG games?’

– Pot~!!

“Okdot~!”

‘Those are the so-called orcs that have appeared in the US, Romania, Australia, etc. They are definitely orcs. There appear to be about 100 of them?’

From then on, Private Jeong couldn’t close his mouth in surprise.

The posture of holding a gun and aiming has already been released.

The sword-wielding warrior at the front pressed the orcs by fanning them out as soon as they appeared.

The orc will fall after 2-3 sword strikes.

Is that really the same orc that caused the last disaster?

You fall so easily?

What was even more surprising was the man holding a staff who was left alone behind the unmanned soldiers who were pressing the orcs by forming a wide formation 5-6 meters apart.

The man suddenly raised his cane high and shouted something incomprehensible.

Then a large ball of fire shoots out in front of the staff.

The fireball flies forward faster than expected and explodes in the middle of the orcs.

After that, every 30 seconds to a minute, balls of fire, lightning, and other things would fly out from the staff and tear the orcs apart.

‘It’s definitely a wizard. Am I seeing the actual reality and not a game screen? Well. I saw a mysterious thing called a portal and even a monster, so there’s no way there wouldn’t be a wizard or a warrior. Hehe.’

In the end, the deployed military forces did not fire a single shot.

Four drones and one wizard easily tore apart a horde of what appeared to be over 100 orcs in less than 20 minutes.

The broadcasting station helicopter, which had been filming from a slightly higher altitude at first, watched the fight for about a minute after it started – to be exact, after the wizard’s fireball(?) was fired – and then lowered its altitude to begin filming and broadcasting due to the overwhelming fighting situation.

All portals that opened in South Korea that day ended within 30 to 50 minutes without a single casualty.

I learned from the broadcast that a large spider appeared in the portal that opened in Pangyo, and that it was also easily swept away by three unmanned people and two magicians.

In addition, three portals have opened in Japan, and the announcer was excitedly shouting and explaining that the special forces(?), the magicians and drones, who had finished their work in Korea, would be dispatched to Japan.

It’s a surprising fact.

There were wizards and unmanned people on Earth…

Private Jeong thought.

‘Should I become a wizard too? Ugh….’

That day, TV and other media outlets around the world were in an uproar.

An unprecedented event in human history has occurred.

Of course, the creation of mysterious entities called portals and the appearance of monsters are unprecedented.

However, knights and wizards appeared in reality, not in games or novels.

The first incident occurred when 14 portals were opened, causing casualties of approximately 40,000 people.

However, the number of portals opened the second time was 99.

Of course there should be more casualties.

However, the actual number of casualties resulting from the second portal was less than 3,000.

First of all, it was huge that portal detectors were installed all over the planet.

The first portal was really something I found by luck and sight, but the second portal was something I detected almost immediately after it occurred.

In almost all places, except for places like Africa where there were few detectors allocated per unit area due to a lack of quantity, immediate detection of portal creation was achieved perfectly.

But the biggest reason was the power of the knight (unmanned) and wizard who appeared out of nowhere.

Most portals were resolved within 1-2 hours, and in places like Japan where no direct wizards or drones were assigned, most were resolved late that day or the next day.

Most of the casualties, about 3,000 people, occurred in places like this.

This happened because there were still not enough magicians and warriors.

Anyway, the world exploded with public opinion and interest in this incredible fact.

A miracle that was only possible in our imagination appeared before our eyes.

In addition, the scene of him defeating the monster was broadcast live, so I was able to watch it vividly.

Min-ki added more fire to this.

Three days after the opening of the second portal, he gathered together the world’s leading media outlets and conducted an exclusive special interview, in his capacity as the head of the first World Awakening Association (WTA), on the scientifically verifiable ‘Mana Theory’.

Min-ki gave humanity a dream.

It scientifically proved the existence of mana, and furthermore, opened the way for ordinary people to become ‘wizards’ or ‘warriors’ with very little effort.

From the next day, a flood of phone calls began to pour in to the branches of the World Awakening Association in each country.

Everyone from 10-year-olds to 60-year-olds have asked how to become superhuman.

But we are not ready yet.

Since the existence of wizards and unmanned beings has already been revealed to the public, the Mana Theory was announced a bit hastily.

There is still a lack of sufficient mana talent detectors ready.

Additional research and production time of approximately 1 to 2 months is required.

So most people on Earth were watching intently, with great interest, to see if they could become superhumans.

About 25 days after the second portal opened, there was an additional announcement from the United States.

Mana, a very powerful energy source, is densely contained in the mysterious substance called ‘crystal’ that appears with a certain probability when defeating monsters.

And they announced that they had discovered enough energy in the crystals collected from a single small monster to replace about 10 years of electrical energy used in a typical household.

The importance of energy in modern society needs no further explanation.

But now a new energy source has appeared.

10 years of energy for one household. In other words, 1 year of energy for 10 households.

In monetary terms, it is worth approximately 6 to 10 million won.

Eventually, amidst explosive support from humanity, the ‘Mana Talent Detector’ was finally developed and began to be distributed sequentially throughout the world.

Min-gi modified the mana detector a little to find places with high concentration and density of mana in each region, and installed additional machines containing mana accumulation magic circles there.

It became the cradle of awakeners from all over the world.

Portals opened approximately once a month, and starting with the 7th portal, the number of portals opening on Earth doubled.

Around 200 portals started opening at once.

Due to the insufficient number of mana users, casualties among soldiers and civilians were on the rise.

However, if the first batch of awakened people who passed the talent test and are currently undergoing intensive training for about 5 to 6 months are recruited, they will be able to block it easily.
