Chapter 141: CPF (1)
Everyone has dreams.
There was a time when everyone poured their passion into achieving those dreams, sacrificing sleep and enduring hardship.
Such was the case for Kang Si-hyuk, a junior police officer at Gangnam Police Station.
In his youth, he scrimped on even his meal times, dedicating himself to passing the police officer examination.
His unwavering determination, despite repeated failures, was rooted in his childhood dream of becoming a detective.
I dreamed of becoming a righteous police officer who, like the cool detectives in movies, would go out to catch bad criminals.
With such a dream, he finally passed the exam after two failures and climbed up to his current position.
However, what awaited him was not the detective role he yearned for but a traffic division officer handling DUI checks.
That was the norm.
For a common junior officer who had only focused on studying.
But my opportunity finally came.
On January 1st, he was selected to participate in the Angels Game, referred to as either a great upheaval or disaster, leaving him with no choice but to despair.
I thought it was all over.
However, talent often shines in unexpected moments.
Surprisingly adept at hunting monsters and utilizing skills and runes for strategizing, Kang Si-hyuk survived up to the 9th round.
Now, he was selected as a member of the newly established CPF (Counter Player Force), under the governments initiative.
A mere traffic officer, who used to shove breathalyzers at drivers.
Its said that opportunities come to those who dont give up. The disaster turned out to be a blessing in disguise for me.
For Kang Si-hyuk, at least, this was the golden age.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to realize his dream.

Entering CPFs temporary gathering spot, Kang Si-hyuk saw five people sitting and looking at their phones.
Ah, hello! Im Kang Si-hyuk, a 28-year-old junior officer transferred from Gangnam Police Station!
You dont need to be so formal. Were all junior officers here.
Is that so?
Kang Si-hyuk awkwardly scratched the back of his head.
Nice to meet you. Im Min Tae-su from Daegu Central Police Station. Im 29.
With those f*king players acting like monsters, its no wonder this unit was formed.
By the way, who will our commander be?
Anyone heard anything?
Nothing.
Do we even have a commander?
Well, there has to be, since were a unit.
I thought we were going to elect one among us?
How? By playing rock-paper-scissors? Chuckle.
Probably a commissioned officer from the police academy.
Then it must be someone of inspector rank. But are there any surviving commissioned officers among the players?
The members were curious about who would lead them.
They were only told to gather here by 8 p.m., without further details.
I hope its not some old fart.
It wont be. If its a player, theyll be under 29, just like us.
Ah, right.
Why are you guys assuming the commander is a player? It could be a civilian.
Nah, that doesnt make sense. The members are players, but the commander a civilian?
How would they manage to control us then?
While they correctly assumed their commander would be a player, they knew nothing beyond that.
How many police players have survived nationwide?
Surely this cant be all of us?
Nah, there must be more.
As the 10 players pondered this,
You all are it.
Heads turned at the voice of a newcomer.
Swish-
A man appeared out of thin air, wearing a white mask, and looked at them.
