Steel-Eating Player Chapter 5: Release Date & Spoilers

F-Ranker Lee Hyunwook and the ace Wonsuk will spar in Steel-Eating Player Chapter 5 after Wonsuk deliberately eggs Hyunwook on when he is already in somewhat of a bad mood. Hyunwook defied the military orders during the Barrack Gate incident to go to another area to save workers when Goblins appeared.

As an F-Ranker, it was an incredibly reckless feat for others, and they could hardly believe that a weakling had survived going up against Goblins. The news of an F-Ranker taking Goblins spread like wildfire, and people had differing opinions.

The military had a strict order where the strong could push around and bully the weak, and the weak had no option but to bow their heads and take everything without complaining. The people who got a kick out of bullying weaker soldiers and their juniors felt irritated after the news spread.

An F-ranker exhibiting such courage and amazing accomplishment would ruin the balance and the ranking within the military, putting the stronger seniors in a precarious position. The leader of the bullies, Sergeant Oh Sangkook, told his underlings to assess Hyunwook and put him in his place.

Steel-Eating Player: Chapter 4 Recap

In the previous chapter of Steel-Eating Player, rumors begin flying about an F-Ranker defeating a Goblin and successfully saving the workers a few days after the Barrack Gate incident. A gate opened, and monsters invaded the Barracks, killing innocent people.

The main subject of these rumors was Lee Hyunwook, the F-Ranking soldier who had accomplished such an incredible feat. Sergeant Oh Sangook was annoyed by all these rumors and was seen bullying another soldier while interrogating him about the man in question.

The young guy could only do as he was told, and Wonsuk also joined in on the bullying while enjoying the sight. The two talk about how a freak was ruining the military order, and he needed to be put in his place. They both had quite a sinister look, and it was obvious that Hyunwook would become their new target.

Meanwhile, Hyunwook was interrogated by Battalion Commander Kangseok interrogated Hyunwook if he had defied direct orders and seized the gate’s outbreak directly. Hyunwook wanted to avoid a trial and tried to think of an appropriate response.

Hyunwook admits to having defied the orders and going where the gate had opened up, and he continued further by saying that he felt scammed by the Commander. Hyunwook slyly says that the Commander had always said that even an F-Ranker could take on monsters if they followed the handbook and when monsters appeared.

He also said that a soldier was a soldier regardless of their rank. This makes the Commander emotional, who asks Hyunwook if he would want to become a Non-Commissioned Officer. Hyunwook found this suggestion troublesome since he did not want to attract any attention.
