I Picked a Mobile From Another World

Episode 1 [First visit (1)]

In front of a building on Gangnam-daero.

A man who appeared to be in his late 20s or early 30s was standing there. He held the box containing the items and looked up at the building.

The building he was looking at was the company that cut him off a little while ago.

The company cut me like a knife right after the internship period. As much as I had high expectations of becoming a full-time employee, I was also disappointed.

As he worked hard during his internship and was lucky enough to win a large contract at the end, he thought he would be able to become a full-time employee this time.

However, the contract he won was passed on to another intern, and his protests were ignored by the silence of the department.

It was difficult for him, who had nothing, to deal with another intern with a background as a company director.

‘If it’s a bad move, you’ll just be hired as a full-time employee. Why not just follow the rules and drop someone who doesn’t deserve it?’

Eventually, the intern was promoted to a full-time employee, and he had just been let go and was looking at the building.

‘Now I won’t be able to see you again.’

Although it was a medium-sized company occupying the 4th floor of a building in the middle of Gangnam, it was a company unrelated to Kyunghoon.

‘I also gave you the last gift.’

Weeeeeeeee.

An emergency bell rang inside the building. It was a fire alarm.

I messed with the smoke detector before leaving the office and it seemed to be working properly.

The sprinkler in this building was of the type connected to a detector, so it was clear that everyone would be baptized with water.

‘Fuck you.’

Kyunghoon turned and leisurely walked away from the building.

People became frantic and started running out of the building. People from the company he worked for also left.

Unlike the people on other floors, they were drenched in water.

“what? Why are you fine? Isn’t there a fire? “The sprinklers worked.”

“We’ll have to wait and see.”

“Ah, will the computer be okay?”

“How can it be okay? I got all the water on it.”

“no! How to! “All the documents related to this contract are in there.”

“Didn’t you pull that out? Why is it on the computer!”

“Ah, it hasn’t been confirmed yet…”

“You’re coming to sign the contract today! You take responsibility for everything!”

With the sound of the emergency bell in the background, the face of the man who had been promoted to full-time employee today turned white.

That night, Kyung-hoon was sitting in his room and looking out the window.

It was an old room, but thanks to the high location, the night view was beautiful. It was okay.

He was holding a can of beer in one hand and looking out the window in the distance. His eyes were a little drunk.

‘What should I eat now?’

He failed dozens of jobs, and even the intern who finally got it ended up not becoming a full-time employee. He

was an orphan, didn’t get good grades in school, wasn’t particularly good-looking, and wasn’t very friendly. Even

the places he managed to get into through hard work ended up as interns. So the road ahead was daunting.

“But it’s not like there’s no place to come.”

Kyunghoon muttered to himself as he opened a new can of beer.

There was still a place I wanted.

The military.

The company commander and senior sergeant grabbed him by the leg of his pants and told him to drive a stake until he was discharged, and even now, several years later, he is still in contact.

But he was nervous about the military. The rigid military life really did not suit him.

‘But social life wasn’t that different.’

I forced myself to endure it, but life as an intern just wasn’t to my liking. In the end, I had a personality that was not suitable for social life.

Kyunghoon sighed again. Anyway, it was over now.

“Ha… I guess I’ll have to look for a part-time job again starting tomorrow.”

After emptying the beer can for the last time, he lay down on the bed.

The lights in the room turned off and the city lights dimmed one by one.

***

The next morning.

Kyung-hoon woke up and looked at the ceiling with blank eyes.

I felt like I had fallen asleep.

‘Are you saying this was an unfamiliar ceiling when I opened my eyes…?’

I had clearly fallen asleep in the remaining room, but the ceiling I could see now was a rusty iron plate ceiling instead of wallpaper.

Kyunghoon stood up immediately.

It was not a small interior. Old-looking walls, broken and neglected machinery and old electronic equipment.

It had the atmosphere of a science laboratory abandoned after an accident.

It was an unexpected place.

“Is it a dream?”

It was a really unpleasant dream.

He sighed and hit his cheek hard. You won’t feel any pain, but it was a good way to wake up from the dream.

match!

“Ugh! “

However, contrary to expectations, the moment I was struck, lightning flashed out of my eyes. It hurt like crazy.

It wasn’t a dream.

Kyung-hoon stiffened while holding his cheek.

I got goosebumps all over my body. Unless it was a dream, it wasn’t usually a problem.

‘Is this a kidnapping? Hidden Cameras? ‘Alien invasion?’

All sorts of thoughts popped into my head.

‘Okay, I need to find a weapon first.’

Even in hectic situations, he remembered his priorities.

Fortunately, I was able to find something useful right away. It was a metal pipe that appeared to have come out of a broken machine.

As expected, I felt a little relieved to have something in my hand.

“Whoa, come to your senses.”

Kyunghoon continued to exhale deeply. I don’t know what the situation was, but I had to stay calm.

My pounding heart gradually subsided.

‘it’s okay.’

It’s finally back to normal. The tension hasn’t gone away yet, but there was no problem moving at this level.

Kyung-hoon held up an iron pipe and swung it. It’s been quite a while since I was discharged from the military, but I felt very light.

‘Are you in such good shape? The iron pipe is also light.’

My usual personality helped me in this case. As the excitement subsided, I was able to calmly look around.

The personality that was so praised in the military was only useful in times like this.

‘The size of the room is about 10m wide and 7m tall. Judging by the rust on the walls, it looks like it has been abandoned for over 10 years. I don’t know what the broken equipment is for, but it looks quite old.’

And there wasn’t a single living rat in sight.

Kyung-hoon carefully approached the iron door. If it was locked, the possibility of being kidnapped increased; if not, it was okay to leave.

He stood against the wall next to the iron door and carefully turned the handle.

Sigh.

It was rusty and noisy, but the door was not locked.

Instead of opening the door all the way, I peeked outside. There was a long dark hallway.

‘There’s no window? Is it underground? ‘Huh, wait a minute?’

Kyunghoon looked back again. There were no windows anywhere in the laboratory. However, there was no light source indoors.

Kyunghoon’s expression darkened.

There was no light, so of course there was no way to see ahead.

I tried closing and opening my left and right eyes, and covering them with my hands, but nothing changed.

He was able to see objects even in places where there was no light.

Cold sweat formed on the back of my neck.

‘Now that I think about it, my physical strength is completely different from yesterday.’

It’s been a few years since I was discharged from the military, and I’ve already lost all my muscle. It made no sense to swing such a thick iron pipe so lightly.

It would have been better if it were a dream. If your dream is to become a hero and defeat your enemies.

But in reality, it would be a completely different story.

Was he kidnapped and had his body modified?

“Probably not. I’m sure.”

Kyunghoon immediately erased the thought that came to his mind. It was a ridiculous idea.

It was then.

Growling.

An alarm went off in my stomach. Even in this situation, the body was crying out for food.

There was nothing useful here, including food.

‘Let’s move.’

It didn’t seem like anyone would come anytime soon. Anyway, I had to move.

Kyung-hoon grabbed the iron pipe and carefully opened the iron door.

I’m sorry.

The sound of old hinges echoed through the hallway again.

Kyung-hoon opened the door and carefully looked down the hallway.

‘The walls, ceiling, and floor are all made of steel plates. ‘Is this not a laboratory, but some sort of secret base?’

The steel walls of the hallway were old, but looked very sturdy. The problem was that the strong walls and ceiling were torn and dented.

‘Was there a battle?’

It was creepy. Kyunghoon’s movements became more cautious.

Fortunately, it seemed like the hallway was damaged quite a long time ago. The broken walls and ceiling were full of dust and grime, and rusty surfaces were exposed.

My startled heart became quiet again. After relaxing, he carefully went out into the hallway again.

Jerk. Jerk.

As I moved my feet, a little dust rose, and the sound of my footsteps echoed through the hallway.

‘Blackened blood stains. Bullet traces. There was definitely a fight. hmm. What is this trace made of? It’s as if the wall was scratched with a trident or something.’

It would make sense if they were made of tofu, but these walls were made of steel.

Unlike the other marks, the three scars that split the steel wall were incomprehensible.

‘Were there any monsters or modified humans pulling blades out of the backs of their hands?’

Kyunghoon sighed. It was a ridiculous idea, but considering his own body, it wasn’t just nonsense.

Kyunghoon moved a little faster.

There were traces of fighting, but they were all traces of the past. I didn’t think there was a need to be too careful.

There were doors scattered on both sides of the hallway. All doors were made of sturdy steel. Above the door was a sign covered in dust.

[3-5 Laboratory]

[3-6 Laboratory]

As I first thought, this place seemed to be a laboratory.

Some doors did not open, but most were easily opened or broken.

Like the first room, it was full of broken machinery and electronic equipment whose purpose was unknown.

After examining each door one by one, he stopped in front of an iron door at the end of the hallway.

[3-1 Laboratory]

The iron door here was broken to the point where no shape was left. And the area around the iron gate was even more damaged than anywhere else.

It seemed like there was a big fight.

But Kyung-hoon stopped for another reason.

‘A corpse, no, a skeleton.’

White bones were scattered throughout this laboratory.

I had some idea of the situation inside based on the marks on the door, so I wasn’t that surprised this time.

After thinking for a moment, Kyung-Hoon entered the laboratory.

It didn’t look like a normal death. The bones were scattered here and there, and many were missing.

The clothes I was wearing were not in good condition either. It was scattered as if someone had torn it apart with force.

‘Is it a white lab coat and black body armor?’

After checking the clothes and the number of skeletons, the dead bodies appeared to be two or three researchers and two soldiers.

And, there was a broken rifle next to the body armor.

‘There’s no way security guards would have guns in Korea, right?’

It was a rifle of a type I had never seen before, but it clearly belonged to someone who had been in the military or something similar.

“It looks like a secret military base… Why did I come to a place like this?”

Kyung-hoon couldn’t understand at all. He sighed again and started checking the equipment scattered next to the white bones

. I had no hobby of lifting, but now I needed to find something.

Unfortunately, the rifle was all broken and useless. Even the magazine in the belt was useless since there was no gun. ‘The bullet is amazing.

What kind of patterns are drawn all over the surface? A homemade bullet.’ is it.’

As he was checking the bullets, he threw the magazine with a pitiful expression. He

dug up bullets and drew patterns on them. I don’t know where the dead soldier belonged, but if it was the Korean army, he would 100% be a warrant officer. But after that, I was able to get an ID card and a pair of bulletproof vests that were still intact, and I thought,

“Oh, what is this?” Is it still working?”

I was able to find an old cell phone with a light still shining.

It was a sturdy cell phone that looked similar to one made by a Finnish company that is said to be on the same level as a hammer.

The problem was the blinking light in the corner.

It must have been 10 years since it was abandoned. It was clear that the cell phone was still alive and well.

It had a battery that was over 10 years old, and it was not a solar cell phone. No, there was no light here, so solar charging itself was impossible. “

Come on, let’s see how far you can go.”

Some people can see even without light, so who knows if batteries can last more than 10 years?

Now, I was confident that I wouldn’t be surprised even if a dragon appeared in front of me and cried.

Just looking at it, it was an old cell phone. It didn’t have a touchscreen screen, and it only had one button. It was a method where you had to press one button.

Luckily, it had both English and Korean letters written on it. He pressed the buttons one by one.

Hwaak!

Tiri-ring.

The screen turned on. I thought it was impossible, but the screen actually turned on. I didn’t know if I could get some information. The

sound of music . The screen turned on and four stars started spinning. It was a loading screen.

“Surely it’s not that company?”

The most famous company in Korea came to mind, but the logo on the screen was a little different from that company.

After a while, loading was completed and the screen changed.

[The existing user has been canceled. I am a first time user. I will register my fingerprint. Place your thumb on the screen.]

A sentence appears on the screen. And a fingerprint mark appeared underneath it.

It was absurd. Now overtechnology has appeared. Fingerprint recognition on a phone that looks like it’s over 10 years old.

‘Oh, come to think of it, cell phones that have been in operation for over 10 years are more over-technological.’

But it was so absurd that it wasn’t even considered new technology.

Kyunghoon narrowed his eyes and looked at his phone. I had no idea that such an absurd cell phone could electrify my thumb and give me an electric shock.

Now I have all kinds of delusions. He sighed and gently raised his finger on the screen.

Fortunately, there was no electricity.

Instead, a strange symbol appeared on the screen. Fortunately, this time it was within my range of understanding.

After a while, a pattern that looked like a magic circle disappeared and text appeared.

［New awakener confirmed.］

［Mana Grade F］

［Attribute: Dimension Shifter］

［Congratulations. S-class characteristics have been discovered. I immediately contacted the Awakened Department.]

‘No, wait a minute. ‘You can contact me as you please.’

［Connecting…Connecting…Connection failed. Please visit the Awakened Department.]

Kyung-hoon looked at his phone blankly. This was clearly a bad dream.
