Chapter 556

After Lee Soo Hyuk left to help out other dangerous areas, ***Park Jin Tae*** become the second owner and leader of the central shelter Kim Rok Soo stayed in after monsters started appearing on Earth.

As one of the ability-users of the center, along with being its respective 'king', it is Park Jin Tae's responsibility to go on hunts in order to provide for the rest of the shelter members. They did so while dodging and running away from monsters.

Before the cataclysm on Earth started, Park Jin Tae was South Korea's National Representative for Shooting.

> *" He did not look toward where Kim Rok Soo was anymore and headed for the hunting ground. Hunting. That's what it was called, but it was more of a difficult battle for food that could result in them losing their lives. But it was his responsibility. "*

While he might seem like it, Park Jin Tae is not a bad person. Despite all his prejudices, it is because of his favouritism towards the ability users that he was able to maintain a certain system in the shelter.

* Chapter 557: Pretty Useless Bastard (3) :

*[ He still gave out enough so that their legs would have enough strength to run away if they ever ran into a monster. The bastard had turned this central shelter into his own kingdom, but he still kept himself humane. He did not cross the line a fellow human should not cross. He at least gave them their share of food.*

*Cale had realized something about it once he became older. ‘The fact that Park Jin Tae pushed the skillful people up might have been the reason this system was able to be maintained.’*

*All societal systems had been destroyed at that time. How many ability users would want to share the food that they worked so hard to find? But since Park Jin Tae treated the ability users well, they stayed with this food sharing system.*

*‘And Park Jin Tae is currently a very strong attack-type ability user.’*

*There was a reason team leader Lee Soo Hyuk left the place to Park Jin Tae. Park Jin Tae was a very strong dealer and a decent tanker. ]*

## **Personality**

Before Lee Soo Hyuk left the shelter, Park Jin Tae was said to be a good person—but not long after the former king left, PJT quickly began to establish his rule, a bastard tyrant who did everything as he pleased.

He is quite prejudiced towards non-ability users, treating regular people and ability users differently—although, as long as he found someone useful, they would remain on his good side and rest in the shelter peacefully. The people he of value were typically given more food, while some others (like Kim Rok Soo) were given only enough to make sure they survived.

Despite this, however,

* Chapter 556: Pretty Useless Bastard (2)

*[* *On the day the central shelter was destroyed, he protected (the shelter) until the end. Park Jin Tae fought until the last moment. That was how Kim Rok Soo and some other people who had no abilities were able to escape.*

*‘What are you doing? Why the hell are you so slow? A bastard like you without any abilities should at least run! Get lost! You're in my way, so hurry up and run!’*

*Cale recalled the things Park Jin Tae had shouted to him in the past. Park Jin Tae ended up dying while fighting to the end. ]*

According to Kim Rok Soo, *“You’re going to say that the old and weak people are getting in your way of fighting and evacuate them first. Then will be people like me who don’t have any abilities. Once it is the last moment and everybody else is gone… That’s when you will run away. That's the kind of person you are.”*

## **Appearance**

Park Jin Tae has fox-like eyes that turn sharp upon narrowing.

## **Abilities**

Park Jin Tae is said the be the strongest attack-type ability user after Lee Soo Hyuk.
Park Jin Tae kept the fact that he had multiple abilities as secret, until Kim Rok Soo (in the Nameless God's test) revealed it.

* ***First Ability:*** Park Jin Tae was able to use a gun with exploding bullets.
* ***Second ability:*** Park Jin Tae's ability is said to be quite abstract, but in some ways, incredibly detailed. Thanks to that ability, he is able to sense an opponent's strength based on pressure. *"There was less pressure if they were weaker and stronger pressure for stronger opponents."*

## **Relationships**

###        **Kim Rok Soo**

Park Jin saw Kim Rok Soo as an arrogant and vicious bastard. And as one of the initial members of the shelter—along with being one of the only remaining faithful members of *"Lee Soo Hyuk's people"*, who still regards Lee Soo Hyuk as the rightful leader of the shelter—Park Jin Tae dislike him as a person who opposed to his new rule.
Since only people who got his approval were allowed to have jobs, he often made Kim Rok Soo run errands *(in other words, "starting shit")* for him, beating him up if he refused.
But despite his disliking, Park Jin Tae didn't hesitate to fight with his life on the line for non-ability users like Kim Rok Soo (at the time), even if he disliked them or thought of them as 'useless parasites'.

*"Park Jin Tae was a bad bastard and he hated him, but… In some ways, he saved (Kim Rok Soo's) life.*

###        **Grandma Kim**

Grandma Kim was the only person in the shelter that Park Jin Tae couldn't treat horribly. And despite wanting to, she is unable to go against Park Jin Tae's mistreatment of others because "*she could not attack him. All she could do was treat the injured with her healing abilities."*

*"Park Jin Tae wanted Grandma Kim to use her powers for healing his precious attack team members who could fight against monsters."*

###        **His lackeys/attack team**

Lee Chul Min is his right-hand man, who also dislikes Kim Rok Soo. And despite being his closest supporter, Lee Chul Min often worried about getting on Park Jin Tae's nerve.
