I Became a Mental Health Care Patient in the Apocalyptic Era

Episode 10-Survival Test (3)

Watching Yang Ga-hyeon defeat the giant venomous scorpion boss in the desert area, I had only one thought.

‘It’s f*cked up.’

“No big deal!”

Added a crazy performance that a buff is given to Ju-eun Lee, whose life has fallen into hell just because she looks cute.

Of course, you can’t always think that you will be able to perform as well as you are now, and you may think that 10% is not such a big number.

But 10% is by no means a small number. Right away, Yang Ga-hyun defeated the field boss with a 10% difference.

It’s not simply because I don’t want to be called aegyo or because I’m ashamed.

Will Yang Ga-hyun, who learned that my cuteness has a buff effect, treat me the same as before?

Will there be an adult gentleman in this world who will not oppress a powerless buffer?

“Let’s go, we have to catch as many monsters as possible.”

“Uh.”

After giving a short answer, I followed Yang Gahyeon.

I thought as I moved along with her.

Now I am a human who can join the main character’s party.

If I could give them buffs with simple charms, that alone was meaningful, and if I could give them experience points while going through the main quest, that was also meaningful.

It means that even if I am weak, I am an existence that can give me great benefits.

But can I go with an equal relationship with the main party?

Won’t Yang Ga-hyun and Lee Seo-yeon try to dominate me?

As I was following Yang Gahyeon while thinking about this, Yang Gahyeon turned around and looked at me.

“What’s wrong all of a sudden? Are there any monsters around?”

At my words, Yang Ga-hyun strode towards me without saying anything.

“What? What’s wrong all of a sudden?”

Yang Ga-hyun came right in front of me before I could even step backwards at the sudden change in her mood.

“Don’t you believe me?”

Her expression was pathetic rather than stern.

“You said that you can show all your emotions with your eyes… You’re shaking your eyes as if you’re scared. Ever since the two of you moved in. Are you scared of me?”

Yang Ga-hyun closed his mouth and waited for my answer.

Her voice trembled as if she had been sincerely hurt, and I was able to recall the most difficult thing in Apocalypse Escape.

Mental management.

In this game where the main character’s specs are high and those around him are also high, the most important thing was mental management.

On the day when a kid who was going well suddenly had a mental breakdown and massacred civilians, the game had to be restarted right away.

Yang Ga-hyun is a really strong woman and her mentality is also strong.

She was a strong enough woman that no matter how hard she was, she could keep a smile on her face.

She had only one mental weakness, and that was her inability to manage the stress from her relationships.

‘What have I been doing?’

I remembered the future of Lee Joo-eun, who couldn’t even get into class A and meet Yang Ga-hyun and Lee Seo-yeon, and kept a distance from them.

She thought what was so scary about her limbs being torn to death, so she kept using her body while overlapping cutscenes.

‘If you want to survive, you shouldn’t do this.’

If I want to survive somehow, I have to use everything I can.

If I thought I was of no use to the main party, I might be able to help the main party.

Even if you increase the growth rate by 10%, how much would that be?

Let’s have a gamer mindset.

No matter what happens, choose the job that will give you the highest profit.

Only then can I escape the apocalypse and increase my chances of surviving.

“Sorry, I was misunderstanding something.”

The criteria for making value judgments have changed.

You don’t have to distance yourself from Yang Ga-hyeon anymore.

You have to put your body on the main story.

I had no idea how many dangers would befall me along the way. Perhaps he would suffer so terrible pain that it could not be compared to dying while living a normal life.

Even the slightest mismanagement of mental management can get you involved in an incident and die.

However,

If the possibility of ending this apocalypse increased by even 1% by joining, it was right to join unconditionally.

After all, if this era itself does not pass, there will be death.

I looked her straight at her and opened her mouth.

“Until now, I couldn’t trust my colleagues. Since my social status was different, I was misunderstanding you on my own.”

It was a useless and cute voice, but when I tried to speak with determination and seriousness, the appropriate voice came out.

“I’m sorry. I won’t be afraid of you from now on.”

When I bowed my head and apologized while hiding it, I could feel Yang Ga-hyun’s atmosphere suddenly loosen up.

“Then, can you show me your face?”

When I lifted my head again, Yang Ga-hyun was staring at me with a wavering look.

“No.”

YouTubers also don’t play ergong, so would you stop calling me?

‘I have to do it when I can get the most benefit.’

********

I don’t believe in contemplation, but I think there is a lot of power in that person’s eyes.

People with passionate and planning eyes can succeed wherever they go.

My father had those eyes, and the teacher who taught me the right mind also had those eyes.

If you have a will to do your best in a given situation, a planned look at what to do in the future, and a firm belief that can keep you centered, the icing on the cake.

“Why are you sitting here?”

Then I saw a man with perfect eyes.

There was a firm conviction in his eyes, even if it was nothing special, and he knew what he was going to do.

Watching him train or read a book without even eating lunch right away, I could see that he wasn’t wasting his time.

However, all other conditions were significantly below average.

He was small. More than two heads taller than me, you would have thought he was a child if he had seen him outside the academy.

His body was also dwarfed. He was short, but his body was dwarfed.

I’ve never compared it directly, but it made me wonder if my arm was thicker than his calf.

He was a man who did not have a body that could not be looked upon favorably no matter how much he tried.

To be honest, I felt like it would break if I hit it once.

If you grab your arm and give it strength, won’t it break?

It’s not that I really want to do that, it just means that I look weak.

But the family wasn’t good either.

I found out later through a background investigation, but the fact that he entered the third academy, which is said to be prestigious, was assigned to the closest place because he did not have enough money to even enter the dormitory.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no reason for me to be interested.

“I just like you.”

But his eyes made up for all his flaws.

Being in the academy means that I am in my age, but I have the eyes of many adults I have met and lived with.

Sometimes they had clearer eyes than adults.

The small and dwarf-looking man had eyes that were incomparably superior to the ones I check in the mirror every day.

He had a direction he wanted to go.

He had the ability to constantly explore what to do.

Even if the body is very small and weak, a person with such eyes can only succeed no matter what.

Such a man’s eyes changed today.

“Sorry, I misunderstood something.”

Previously, even if there was a belief, the belief itself was insignificant, but now the gaze itself has become very intense.

As if the size of the dream itself has grown, I have more wonderful eyes.

Suddenly why?

I just complained about why he was afraid of me when I saw him scared of me because I wasn’t that mature.

I honestly had no idea how the way I showed him affected him.

All I could do was smile and thank him that I had changed him.

I was grateful that he had grown up inside him, but I was still depressed.

He still wouldn’t reveal his face to me, because he didn’t trust me.

“Until now, I couldn’t trust my colleagues. Since my social status was different, I was misunderstanding you on my own.”

‘Shouldn’t I show it to you now?’

I have a little hope.

It’s clear that his mind has changed drastically somewhere, so he might show his face now if you ask him to.

And now you said you believed in me, didn’t you?

He opened his mouth excitedly.

“Then, can you show me your face?”

“No.”

His immediate response made me feel the pressure as if a stone had been placed on my heart.

‘You said you believed in me…’

Yeah… You don’t believe me yet.

‘Do you still look scared of me?’

I forcibly pressed my trembling body and said, ‘I understand.’ He replied.
