Lee Sang-wook had his left leg amputated in a factory accident 10 years ago.

Fortunately, the industrial accident was recognized and he was able to receive insurance money and receive various support, but even so, Lee Sang-wook was in despair because his legs did not come back and the cost of treatment did not come in full.

At least, thanks to his lively personality, he tried to live somehow, but at that time, it was phantom pain that overtook Lee Sang-wook.

Lee Sang-wook feels intense pain in a part he doesn’t even have, and it’s hard to even lead a proper daily life.

For Lee Sang-wook, Han Ji-hyeok’s prosthetic leg test was literally his last hope.

Wouldn’t it be different if it was a skeleton?

If it was Han Ji-hyeok, wouldn’t he come up with something ingenious?

Lee Sang-wook, who started the test like that, was not as good as he expected, but he was satisfied.

Because the skeleton prosthetic leg, which is on a different level from the existing prosthetic leg, is definitely outstanding.

But not long ago, he suddenly said that he was doing another experiment, and he attached an EEG to his head for several days, and he continued to measure EEG.

At first, he wanted something like this, but Lee Sang-wook stayed quiet.

I don’t know what the new experiment is, but I hope that the experiment will be successful and your new legs will be born.

“Sangwook, how are you today?”

At the doctor’s words, Lee Sang-wook said with an EEG attached to his head.

“Very nice.”

“What about the pain?”

“There was a short time in the morning, but it was tolerable. hahahaha.”

“Fortunately, the.”

The doctor looked at Lee Sang-wook and said.

“Today there will be a new experiment.”

“A new experiment?”

“Hmm… I don’t know the details, but they say it’s a prosthetic leg attachment test.”

“Oh, is something new finally finished?”

“Is that right? I think it has something to do with brain waves. Anyway, we’ll start in a little while, so take a break.”

How long has it been since the doctor left?

Han Ji-hyeok enters Lee Sang-wook’s room with a middle-aged man with a limp.

“Chairman Han.”

Han Ji-hyeok said with a smile.

“Lee Sang-wook, did you hear the story? I will wear a new prosthetic leg today.”

“hahahaha. I’m looking forward to it.”

“However, there is a caveat. This prosthetic leg is very sensitive, so if you move it carelessly, it can cause serious trouble. You will probably be very surprised when you see a prosthetic leg, but you should never move it. Did you know?”

“All right. Don’t worry, I have great patience.”

“great.”

Han Ji-hyeok turned to the middle-aged man and said.

“Are all measurements done?”

“It’s done. Now all we have to do is comparative analysis.”

“Then shall we begin?”

Then, Han Ji-hyeok put an eyepatch on himself.

That time when I was blankly in such a dark place.

‘Ugh!’

Suddenly, the phantom pain comes again.

‘You stupid brain! I don’t have that leg anymore! please stop!’

The pain starts in the calf and gradually descends to the sole of the foot.

However, after being told by Han Ji-hyeok that he should not move, Lee Sang-wook desperately held back.

‘You’re sensitive! This prosthetic leg! Be patient! Unconditionally true… ugh!’

That moment when the pain reached its peak.

“Take off your eyepatch.”

Han Ji-hyeok takes off his eyepatch.

And Lee Sang-wook saw it.

“···leg?”

That his left leg was still attached.

“You must not move!”

Han Ji-hyeok moves and warns against it.

But the warning was meaningless.

Lee Sang-wook was already stunned by this ridiculous sight and couldn’t even think of moving.

“I have a leg… my leg.”

And the moment I saw that leg, the phantom pain that had risen like crazy subsided in an instant.

The brain, which confirmed the intact leg with visual information, recognized that there was no problem.

“Come on, Mr. Lee Sang-wook. Start testing now. See the red light ahead?”

Lee Sang-wook, who came to his senses at those words, sees a red light.

“When that red light turns green, you lift only the big toe very slowly. And when the light turns red again, relax.”

“All right.”

“start.”

When the red light turned to blue, Lee Sang-wook slowly raised his big toe.

“please.”

please move

and that moment.

Isn’t the left big toe going up slowly?

“slowly. slowly.”

Lee Sang-wook’s tears flowed as he saw his big toe moving slowly.

“in action. My toes are moving.”

Then the blue light turns red again.

After seeing that, I let go of my strength, and my big toe slowly descended again.

“okay. All right.”

Lee Sang-wook said with tears dripping down his face.

“Is this my prosthetic leg?”

“It is being tested.”

“President, even if this test fails, I will not resent it. I······.”

Lee Sang-wook smiled brightly and said.

“It was the first time I moved my left toe in 10 years. You probably have no idea what this feels like.”

Then Jihyeok Han smiled and said.

“Stop thinking like that and focus more on the test. The more you focus, the higher your success rate. do you know Will I really succeed and get a proper prosthetic leg?”

At those words, Lee Sang-wook wiped away his tears and said.

“All right. I will focus.”

“great. This time, the index finger goes!”

*

A method of amplifying brain waves and then analyzing those brain wave changes by creating the illusion that they are really moving.

This method was successful.

“If you look at it, the flow of brain waves is clearly different from usual.”

The professor showed me the EEG chart and said,

“If you look at the distribution map here…”

I waved my hand and said.

“What do you know if you show me that? It just looks like it’s been drawn all over the place. Just explain it in plain language.”

“hahahaha, I see. Simply explained, the brain was really tricked and found the wavelength of the brain wave that comes out when it actually moves. If you link the behavior you did during the test when this wave comes out, you will be able to create a prosthetic leg that moves naturally just by thinking.”

“Are you talking about success?”

“Of course, we still have a long way to go. Since the brain waves are constantly changing according to the movement of the body, it would take a long time to analyze all the brain waves. Even more so because each person’s brain waves are different. but.”

The professor said with a confident expression.

“We can develop at an unprecedented speed. Brain waves pretending to move the body and brain waves perceived as real moving cannot even be compared, and even amplification can capture them in more detail. If data continues to accumulate like that, AI will be able to read brain waves more perfectly.”

good, good

“After completely analyzing the data like that, Chairman Han attaches an amplified EEG to the back of his back, and the computer analyzes and visualizes the measured EEG. Then, if the skeleton performs the same visualized motion…”

said the professor with an excited expression.

“This is truly the birth of a prosthetic skeleton that can be controlled by will alone.”

It’s a combination of science and magic.

“Then, shall we start making products in earnest?”

Then the bewildered professor said.

“yes? Are you talking already? ”

“You can keep revising as you research. You can do simple movements right now, right?”

There is still a long way to go, but it is solved through complementation rather than perfection.

“That’s true… but it will cost a lot of money. Keeping supplements means you have to manage them all. I’d rather make a finished product and then sell it for sure.”

“I have no intention of making money with this anyway.”

Rather, securing an image of the skeleton is more important.

To be honest, there must be a lot of amputee patients to see how many there are.

Rather than selling prosthetic limbs to them for tens of millions of won per person, it would be much better to make and sell shoes or gossip?

“So just go ahead, continuing to make up for what is lacking. Technological development is important, but isn’t it first to put out the urgent fire?”

The professor, who was silent for a moment, spoke.

“President Han, thank you very much. For people like us, President Han is nothing short of a savior.”

“What are the saviors? It’s just that I’m a businessman and an Awakener, nothing more and nothing less. I mean snob.”

“Regardless of the intention, if the result is good, it is enough.”

is it?

Well, if you accept it like that, I’m grateful.

said the professor with a smile.

“Then let’s make a prototype. You look forward to it.”

While researching prosthetic limbs, rather than preventing necrosis, Nakamura progressed and eventually amputated his leg.

Such Nakamura also measured brain waves using illusion magic, and the skeleton prosthetic leg made using brain waves was finally completed.

I thought it would look too ugly with only bones, so I tried to attach fake skin, but Nakamura just wanted to show it as it was, so I made a skeleton prosthetic leg that was wrapped like bone armor similar to the thickness of the leg.

Nakamura said, moving the skeleton prosthetic leg around.

“It’s amazing.”

“Yes?”

“I move according to my will.”

A skeleton prosthetic leg that is not perfect as research is ongoing, but can perform simple movements.

“But it is slow.”

“You mean the reaction is slow? Beat by beat?”

“you’re right.”

“It’s not quite finished yet. But if you keep improving, one day you will be able to move like a real leg.”

“But with this. I cannot fight.”

At that, I smiled and said.

“Why can’t you? You can.”

“yes?”

“That prosthetic leg, I really put my heart and soul into making it, right?”

Unlike ordinary people, it was the skeleton prosthetic leg that was pulled out from another corpse and crazily shoved it in so that it could withstand Nakamura’s movement, which is SS-class, and even using his ability, instantaneous acceleration.

I don’t know, but only with that leg, it’s stronger and stronger than the SS Death Knight that brought Nakamura to this point, right?

Plus, you said it was built with both combat and everyday use in mind?

“Remove the EEG sensor from your head, send an aura to your prosthetic leg, and then move it. The prosthetic leg will move as the aura moves.”

At those words, Nakamura raised his mana, and Nakamura’s skeleton prosthetic leg moved freely to the extent that it was incomparable to the one just before.

Nakamura said with a bright smile.

“This will work!”

“The previous mode was the daily mode, this is the combat mode. It uses the aura to move the legs. Of course, it will take some time to get used to. Instead, if you just adapt…”

I said with a grin.

“It will be a great weapon for Mr. Nakamura.”

At my words, Nakamura politely bowed his head and said.

“Thank you, Chairman Han. I will repay this favor for the rest of my life.”

“hahahaha. It was nothing.”

Nakamura stroked his leg and said.

“Because I have legs, I am greedy. My eyes are sad.”

I said looking at Nakamura who was wearing an eyepatch.

“hmm. Honestly, I can’t help you with the optic nerve.”

I can disrupt the optic nerve, but restoring what has already been damaged is beyond my realm.

“Can I make your eyes useful instead?”

“Useful?”

“Give me an idea.”

I’ll make it clear while I’m doing the service, well.

“Do you have the ability you always needed? If we can implement it, we will implement it.”

*

“Guild leader!”

Return of Nakamura, who had been in Korea for several months.

Of course, when Nakamura, who had shown a heroic move, returned, reporters flocked to him, but they could not overcome Nakamura’s guild members, who were high awakeners.

The guild members who ran through the reporters like that said.

“Are you okay? What about the legs?”

At that, Nakamura rolls up his pants.

Then, a leg made of bones visible in it.

“Very good. Although I did have a bit of a hard time rehabilitating.”

“is it so? I’m glad then.”

At the reaction of the guild members, Nakamura smiled and said,

“You will probably be surprised when you see it too.”

“Is that enough?”

“okay. I was even surprised I asked for a favor, but I didn’t know you would make it this far.”

Nakamura said with a smile.

“It wasn’t enough that I owed Chairman Han my life, but now even my legs. This grace is not enough to repay in a lifetime. ah! Is there one more thing?”

Nakamura said while stroking the eyepatch.

“Because I have these eyes now.”

“yes? Snow?”

“I’ll show you this myself later.”

Nakamura walks out proudly with his guild members.

Reporters shouted at Nakamura.

“Chairman Han made me a prosthetic leg. How is it?”

“Can you be active again?”

In response to the reporters’ shouts, Nakamura spoke in a relaxed voice.

“There will be an opportunity to show you soon. I will tell you more about it then.”

That time when I was making my way through the reporters like that.

“uh?”

One of the guild members looked at his phone and said.

“An unstable gate has appeared around here.”

“An unstable gate? hahahaha.”

Nakamura said with a bright smile.

“Here, the opportunity has already come.”

Nakamura removed the EEG sensor attached to the back of his neck and crouched in his seat.

“Okay, I’ll go first, so follow me.”

“yes?”

“Suck!”

At that moment, Nakamura leaps over the crowd at breakneck speed and runs toward the unstable gate.

The guild members who saw this were shocked and said.

“What, what is that? Is it the same as before?”

“Isn’t it rather faster?”

At that time, a guild member shouted.

“Is this the time to say that? I have to follow you quickly!”

*

Nakamura ran fast and felt the resistance of the air with his whole body.

And I was happy.

To be able to feel this sensation again.

how long did it run

“OMG! It’s a monster!”

People running away from monsters popping out of unstable gates.

“It’s class D.”

This is a level that Nakamura alone can handle enough.

However, it was not known whether there would be deaths in the meantime.

Because there were a lot of monsters like a D-class.

Nakamura said while holding the eyepatch in his hand.

“Is it time to write this?”

said Nakamura, leaping high into the sky.

“Three seconds from now, everyone close your eyes!”

“I am the head of the Nakamura guild!”

“one!”

People ran away and said.

“I want you to close your eyes in three seconds!”

“eye? Why do you open your eyes!”

“two!”

“I don’t know! Do as you please! Guildmaster Nakamura couldn’t have said it without thinking!?”

“okay!”

“three.”

People close their eyes the moment Nakamura counts to three.

Seeing this, Nakamura took off his blindfold and shouted.

“flash!”

Then, a light of tremendous brightness burst out from Nakamura’s eyes.

“Kieek!”

The monsters who were paying attention to Nakamura at Nakamura’s voice close their eyes in agony as a bright flash explodes as if to burn their eyes.

“Keye!”

Of course, there were not only monsters among them, but also people who ignored warnings or missed the timing.

“Ahh! my eyes!”

“what’s this!”

Seeing that, Nakamura landed and said.

“If you have been hurt, you can sit quietly in your seat. It will get better with time.”

After temporarily incapacitating the monster, Nakamura said while stroking his left eye.

“If I had these eyes… I could save more people from the same situation as last time.”

The ability Nakamura wanted was the ability to neutralize monsters over a wide range.

Even though it won’t be eaten by the undead, the culprit of the last incident, aren’t there only undead monsters in the gate?

With this eye, it was clear that in the same situation as before, I could minimize the damage to people and neutralize the monster at the same time, and even if the same situation happened last time, I would be able to use the ability of this eye to delay it longer.

“That humiliation is enough once. I will never do the same thing again.”

Having made that decision, Nakamura raised his left prosthetic leg and struck the monster straight down.

Then, the monster was shattered in a single blow.

“It’s strong too.”

Nakamura, who was evaluated as weak in attack ability as a person with instantaneous acceleration ability.

However, the skeleton prosthetic leg fitted to Nakamura could not compensate for Nakamura’s only flaw, attack power, and took it up a notch.

Nakamura began to slaughter monsters while enjoying the massive power felt in his legs.

At first, it was awkward to control using magic, but after a long rehabilitation training, now it moves freely as if it were originally like that.

At that time, the guild members who joined later said while dealing with the monsters.

“What is that light just now?”

“My new ability. Chairman Han gave it to me.”

“yes?!”

“Well, to put it simply, should I say that I implanted something similar to the abilities of Protige products into my prosthesis?”

“Not some cyberpunk implant, but what is it?”

“Anyway, since the useless eyes have become useful, isn’t that enough?”

Nakamura said with a grin.

“Now, it is Nakamura’s resurrection. I’ll make it a splendid comeback ceremony.”

Nakamura officially announced his resurrection.

And at the same time, it was also a splendid debut for Han Ji-hyeok’s prosthetic leg, prosthetic arm and eye.
