Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 9

EP.9 A dog’s habits are not given to others.

Sunlight does not shine in the abyss.

In the deepest land cursed by the Earth Mother, in a space filled only with pitch darkness, the only thing that signaled the morning was the loud sound of an alarm clock. Instead of the warm sunlight tickling my body, a sharp echo that rips my ears forced me to stand up.

The blue, high sky, the clouds like a boat floating there.

However, the only thing in the abyss is an angular building dreaming of a square, artificial noise from hard concrete, and lighting that mimics the sun.

Things that originate from heaven make the heart feel peaceful, but things that come from humans all scratch one’s nerves. Probably because all works created by humans are waste products.

The best thing is to put it in yourself, filter out the unpleasant parts, and filter out the waste that you spit out.

That’s why we stay away from artificial things even though we live among people.

“…Damn it. Can you make the alarm clock sound a bit quieter?”

I grabbed my sore shoulder and stood up. My body, which had been abused by the dog king for two days, screamed, but if left alone, that alarm clock would consume all my remaining strength. That’s the kind of noise that damages the body.

The alarm clocks produced by the military are unified as wall-mounted models. It means that if you wake up, do not lie down and get up. It is a country that does not tolerate laziness. I staggered up, climbed into a chair, and turned the gears of the alarm clock in the prescribed order.

One square to the left, four squares to the right, then two squares to the left.

With a thud, the alarm clock shrank like a dying cricket. However, I didn’t want to go back to sleep in the current situation where my head was whining, so I walked around the room, brushing my hair.

Performance One thing is certain, bad boys.

The room was small but had everything. In a good way, it is an efficient furniture arrangement, and in a bad way, it means that everything is crammed into a small space. Hold the cabinet with your left hand and reach out with your right hand to reach the sink on the other side. The water from the faucet can be used for washing and drinking, but the ration is not enough for both.

But the room next door is empty. The daily water ration will remain in the next room. I gulped down the tap water, thinking of washing my hair in the next room.

A small room that could embrace the entire room if you spread your arms. Originally, only prisoners and laborers lived in Tantalus, which was narrow and poor. Still, I didn’t use a fake wall because it was a prison, but that only made this stuffy air even heavier.

However, one thing to remember is that few people are left thanks to the massive prison break that took place a few days ago.

“Let’s tear down the wall and join it with the next room.”

What is a good place to live?

The answer is simple.

It is a place where resources are plentiful and few people live.

The reason why large houses are expensive is because the population is small compared to the space.

Surprisingly, the current Tantalus… was satisfying the conditions of a good world to live in.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

I will tear down that evil concrete wall and live like a king by combining five rooms. Five times the daily water ration. This should be enough for a daily shower.

No, you don’t have to be thirsty for rations, right? I should go directly to the water tank and take a bath. A life like an emperor!

I laughed evilly and left the room. It was a time when I was planning a happy nursing life to come, as I roughly closed the door without a lock.

“Woof woof!”

at that time. I saw a familiar shadow at the end of the hallway.

…why is that here.

Aji ran down the hallway, sniffed as if to confirm his identity, and circled around me. In fact, it was no different from the appearance of a slaughter dog. I shook my head in horror.

“Oh, no. Ajay. be patient It’s really impossible to do any more…”

“Bung! I’m hungry!”

Aji’s words made me feel relieved for some reason.

“Military crazy guys… this is a food warehouse?”

You have to eat to live. After putting food in your mouth and digesting it with your stomach, you have to burn the calories you get to move your body. It is a natural providence that is so obvious that there is no need to explain it.

And the military government that abused everything in the world even abused providence.

Mental Education College Tantalus is not a place to keep people alive. It is a place to kill.

Those who cannot be killed even with the power of the military, are afraid of the aftermath, have to consume too many resources, or have a large political burden. Tantalus is the place to sweep away such people as if they were disposing of leftovers.

And the method chosen to kill the isolated was similar to what bookmakers did historically.

“Shit. There are only a few canned food left…”

There is no shortage of food. There were some types of prisoners like the progenitor Tirkanjaka who would not die of starvation, and only those types of prisoners would survive in order if food was not provided. That’s not what the military wants.

“But a prison of this size and a one-pyeong-sized food warehouse? These guys are very well intentioned.”

I will absolutely not allow people to ‘save’ food. There were many such intentions. Prisoners will also become desperate and anxious if they rely on supplies that drop from time to time. And they’ll hunt each other for resources.

“Probably enough food was barely enough to avoid starvation. They said if you want to eat more, kill each other from now on.”

But didn’t I tell you earlier? A good place for people to live is a place with resources but few people.

Compared to this large prison, the size of the food warehouse was quite small, but now there are only four people, including myself. Even vampires don’t eat rice. You can make dog food for dogs. Practically just me and the regressor.

It’s too much for two people to eat. Even in this place, there are no diligent workers of the Earth Mother like abyss or mold, so there is no need to worry about getting hurt.

“Oops. i’m sorry ajay From now on, I think you should reduce the amount of meat you eat.”

“Mumong?! wow! Whoa!”

don’t bark You can’t help it. People take precedence over dogs.

Three cans of meat. Twenty-three canned beans. Starch and flour… It’s tough, but I can somehow survive. And what, I know there are people here, but won’t you give them supplies? If you think about that, you should be able to have a luxurious meal.

“I have to meet a vampire tonight, so let’s have a hearty meal.”

The first day I came in, I took only a few meals, but I think I will continue to stay, so I have to take care of my diet. I have to cook for a long time. I opened one pressed can of beans and poured it into the pot.

“Ah. Do you like beans?”

“bruise! good! I like beans!”

“Is there anything you don’t like?”

When I opened the faucet, water gushed out. It is a kitchenette with only one stove, but the capital is still alive. Dried soybeans in compressed canned food are soaked in water. The dried beans swelled in an instant.

It is a product that has been cooked with vegetables since it was canned. Even if you boil it after soaking it properly, you can get baked beans that you can eat, but the monotonous taste is easy to get tired of. It’s a pity if it ends like this.

After making the dough with roughly scooped flour, spread it wide. From there, I took off just enough to use for the pie, and then put the rest together and covered it upside down with a tray.

“bruise! bruise! bruise!”

In the meantime, the beans soaked in water inflated the body to the fullest. Aji was excited and kept wiggling around the pot.

It was so enormous that it was unimaginable that it was in that small can. I didn’t know if I had soaked the beans or whether I had harvested the beans by planting the seeds first.

“bruise! got bigger! I got a lot to eat!”

“okay. okay. Envy you.”

The military is not good at other things, but things like military food are amazing. I’ve compressed beans that I can eat for several days in this little canned food. also. A country that is always serious about war is different.

Spices are a luxury. There’s no such thing as being in prison. All you need is salt or shredded cabbage. It’s a bit unpleasant, but let’s be glad we have cabbage. Because Gunguk is a people who are seriously thinking about whether to include vegetables that are unnecessarily bulky and low in calories into the list of luxury items.

Wash the vegetables and put them down. Then Aji sighed and said.

“I hate grass!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t give it to you.”

good. Let it boil slowly. In a pot of dried beans, add salt and vegetables and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, the dough is placed in the oven next to the stove. In the meantime, dilute it with starch water in a pot that is moderately boiling. The slightly seasoned water gradually thickens and turns into edible food.

All that remains now is to wait.

It was a time of tedious waiting. As I was watching the boiling pot, I heard a gurgle next to me. Aji, ten times more impatient than me, was spinning round and round chasing his tail.

Every time that happens, dust rises and hair blows. I frowned and bruised.

“hey. hey. blow off hair turn outside.”

“hungry! hungry!”

“I can’t eat your hair even if I’m hungry.”

Since the form is human, there is no tail and no hair, so why is it flying so much? Aji stopped for a moment after hearing me, but that didn’t last long either. My body shakes because I’m bored. I can’t stand the smell and I feel like I’m going to slam my face into the pot any minute.

“wait!”

“I’m hungry, I’m hungry, I’m hungry, I’m hungry!”

I can’t. Now it’s the eyes that will eat me slowly. I quickly took out a ladle and stirred the stew.

Remnants of crushed beans and floating vegetables swirl. While making canned beans, the dregs that were mixed in were gathered at one point. I gathered them together with a ladle and scooped them up. A ladleful of stew, full of detritus like debris and float bean hulls.

I put a ladleful of it in an empty canning can. Then he took a chime from his pocket.

Daughter and daughter-.

“bruise! bruise!”

Aji, now fully grasping the meaning of the bell, blinked and lowered his stance. I see Aji’s lips glistening with saliva. I put the can of dog food on the ground.

“ruler. eat.”

Aji immediately fell to the ground and ate the dog food deliciously. I watched Aji eating rice with warm eyes.

Dogs are also very nice animals. Because humans can eat leftovers.

Feeling better, I continued to cook while humming.

The boiled broth had a sweet and savory taste. The starch that sticks to the tongue made me feel full just by holding it.

good. gotta eat now

Wipe the dusty table moderately and put the pot on it. I also took out the baked dough that hadn’t yet been baked in the oven. All there is is canned beans and lumps of flour, but this is somewhere. If I’m good, that’s Sura-sang.

Shall I feel it? I sat upright at the table and prayed to the Earth Mother. Thank you for my daily bread and look upon me even in this cursed land.

ruler. Shall we eat?

“bruise.”

When I opened my eyes, a dog was sickening with me.

What is this?

“Uh huh. Ajay. What are you doing sitting at the table?”

“bruise! Give me some food!”

Judging by the fact that it puts out its front paw, it looks like it is asking for a bowl as well. You must have given canned food as a dog food bowl earlier, right? I glanced down and saw that it had already been eaten. This shameless puppy was still looking over the human table even after eating his share.

Huh. Write. He said he couldn’t give me dog habits. It’s just trying to sit on top of a human head. I said sternly.

“Go down when they say good things. This is the table where people eat.”

“bruise.”

bang!

When the forefoot hit the table, the iron table rose 3 cm from its place. I can see cooked beans flying through the sky beyond my sight. My bowls and cutlery also float in the air.

coo goong coo goong.

Falling pots and bowls create unique chords. It’s like a symphony played only with percussion instruments. Beyond that, a puppy licking his lips is glaring at me.

With trembling hands, I lifted a can of canned food from the floor. He licked it so well that the floor was so clean that it was hard to believe that it had just been made in a factory. Using this as a bowl of dog food, pour a ladle full of the soybean broth…

“Beans.”

I also put a lot of beans in it and put it in. Then, after jingling the chime once, he pushed the bowl of dog food full of beans in front of Aji. Aji immediately threw his face into the can and sniffed.

Aji, who mumbled for a while, raised his head and shouted with a bright smile.

“bruise! delicious! Beans are delicious!”

“joy. Only this time. I know there will be no next time.”

Dogs are really fucking animals. A dirty, stupid hairball that eats what humans eat and literally feeds on humans.

It’s like a fucking dog. They think they’re on top of people’s heads.

Let’s see. Even if he is the king of dogs, his essence is a dog. Someday, for sure, after all these hard times are over, and I eventually train you. From then on, I’ll roll you like a dog.

I will personally prove what the warrant of creation is!

Beans taste normal.
