Closed Beta I Played Alone

Episode 190. Seo Ji-hye.

There was only one reason why so many people settled in the outskirts of the Myeongjin Shelter, even though they looked like refugees.

That's the safest place.

The desire to live that much cannot be said to be the number one desire among all human needs, but it has to be a desire that fits within at least three fingers.

Maybe that's why, it wasn't that he asked me to live or to take him back to the shelter of Myeongjin, but at least he wanted the freedom to die by himself.

3 days ago.

“The least freedom to choose death for yourself?”

I stopped her steps on her way to the shelter of Myeongjin, turned behind her, knelt down on her knees, and asked the woman who had spoken her words to me.

Until now, I've seen a lot of people who want to live like crazy, but I haven't seen anyone who wants to die on their own.

Then she opened her mouth in her kneeling position.

"Yes! The world has become terrifying and terrifying. Family members have died, loved ones have died, and hope is gone. That doesn't mean you can't bring a monster to the judgment seat of the law, and there's no one who can do that. In other words, no matter how much hell there is, the surest way to get out of this hell right now is death.”

“……”

In any case, you have to live with her words. He didn't say that he could see the darkness go away and the light come in that way, or that he would be better off in this world even if he rolls in the dog poop.

Because I haven't actually died, so I don't know if this life will be better even if I really roll in the dog poop, and I don't know if the light will come.

Moreover, anyone who knows my true feelings will point out that I am selfish, but honestly, I like the world right now.

As the original ID lumen means, after Ashirante, almost no one knows the name Hong Jooyoung, and I can't say for sure that I am the center of the world, but at least it was true that I was close to the center.

But there was no need to say that, so I spit out other words.

“Then… can’t we just die?”

It is true that it is a world where we cannot live even if we want to live, but it is by no means a world where we cannot die even if we want to die.

In other words, dying was much easier than in the past if you put your mind to it.

Because the person to stop now did not have the minimum institutional device as in the past.

And as if waiting for my question, she opened her mouth.

“I cannot die.”

“Why?”

A question that arises spontaneously.

And as I spit out that “why?” I thought that this woman in front of me was quite clever.

In the end, I was interested and asked questions as she wanted.

But now, the curiosity was even greater, so she did not express it and waited for her answer.

Then, instead of answering my question, she motioned her something forward, and then a screen like her message window appeared.

[Currently dependent.]

“It’s dependent…”

I didn't know what subordination meant.

Moreover, although it may not be exactly the same, there was a person who suggested that I join a guild called ‘Lucia’ while I was making a name for myself as Ashirante.

And since the person who made such a proposal to me never seemed ordinary, I was going to join in any case.

If you know the identity of the other person, you can use it no matter what you do later.

But in the end I didn't sign up.

Because there was a message that rang at the same time as the offer to join, saying that once you sign up, it's impossible to withdraw as a doctor.

In other words, the moment I sign up, it's like putting a leash around my neck.

So, having that kind of experience at that time, I thought I knew roughly what subordination was.

But there was still something left, so I asked the question again.

"great. I know about the dependency, but what is it? Did the one who subordinated you to him give you an order not to die? That's why I can't die."

"no."

“If it wasn’t for that, wouldn’t it be possible that he didn’t really die?”

The word immortal is in line with the word immortal, and it was finally possible to express it with the word immortality.

And it was inevitable that both those who became subordinates and those who became subordinates were all fraudulent.

But.“Not even that.”

"her. It's not like we're going to do 20, then what?"

“I have already died once.”

“Once… dead?”

"Yes."

who died once.

At that moment, the undead appeared in his mind.

But the opponent didn't look like an undead at all.

It didn't even look like a monster.

But then an idea ran through her head and she immediately posed her question to her.

“Then is it like a resurrection?”

“...I can't say it's a grand resurrection, but it seems like it can be called a resurrection. Instead, we needed 1,000 sacrifices.”

1000 sacrifices.

Of course there were many.

Moreover, the sacrifice does not necessarily have to be associated with death, but from the woman's expression, it was clear that it would cost the lives of 1,000 people.

But, frankly, at that moment, I thought that resurrecting one person from the dead anyway was more wonderful and useful than the cost of 1000 lives.

But it didn't show it.

I just silently stare at the woman in front of me.

And the woman continued to open her mouth to my gaze.

“Unfortunately, Jejeol was not a high-level user playing ‘Revival Legend’. It was just enough for the common people to see around. So my master killed 1000 people with great ease and brought me back to his side. And the owner said. If you think about dying again, not 1000 people.

I'm going to kill ten thousand, one hundred thousand people. It is because of me.”

“……”

First of all, he didn't say anything for a while.

Then she softly opened her mouth.

“Who is the owner?”

“This is Kim Yul-jung.”

today.

Myungjin Shelter.

“Call her her, please.”

“Are you talking about Seo Ji-hye?”

"Yes."

“Then have you made up your mind?”

In response to the question of Insoo Seok, she nodded her head slightly and opened her mouth.

“Roughly.”

And in response to my reaction, Insoo Seok went out without saying a word, and she brought her Seo Ji-hye, who had told me she wanted the least freedom to die for herself, after a while.

“……”

First of all, Seo Ji-hye stares at me without saying anything.

It wasn't that she didn't understand her.

Because she brought her to her place and left her five days unattended.

However, before meeting her, a dinner with Mirae, Daesung, and Gusan had already been scheduled at Myeongjin Shelter.

And because I was there at the time the dinner was held, I could never miss it.

Of course, to be honest, it was a big deal that I couldn't decide what action to take.

But now that she has made a rough decision, she opened her mouth to her staring at me.

“I’m really curious about this, but… what about the afterlife after you die? There is a saying It is said that this life is better even if you roll in the dog poop. No, is there really an underworld?”

“……”

Honestly, this is what I was most curious about.

Especially since I actually died.

However, Seo Ji-hye set the mood and the first words that I uttered were that she didn't think she would be like that, so she broke her expressionless expression and she put on an absurd expression, but she waited calmly without paying any attention to it.

Because she was really curious.

And Seo Ji-hye opened her mouth softly, knowing that I was sincere.

“The last thing I remember was cold fangs digging into my neck and conversely, hot exhalations,” she said. After that, what I saw was the face of Kim Yul-jeong, who was rebuking him for not avoiding or rebelling.”

“It’s a little sad. I guess I was expecting it.”

It was really sad.

Of course, in the meantime, does she believe everything she says?

I wouldn't have believed it in the first place.

Because it could be a trap.

So far, he has been the target of quite a few people just because he is strong.

So, from the beginning until he reached level 1200, he decided not to reveal his identity.

Of course, I did reveal my identity a little quickly because of Smith and the others who were threatening Myeongjin beyond me, who hid my identity.

Anyway, first of all, there was a reason for deciding that she could trust her right now.

That's why she brought her here.

That is to say.

3 days ago.

“How do I... trust you?”

I asked Seo Ji-hye, who mentioned a fairly famous person named Kim Yul-jung as her owner.

OK.

“Limited Skill Reveal.”

[Limited skill: Moving stats.

-You can move the stats from one side to the other.

- In order to move the stats, both sides must agree.

-The person who transferred the stat permanently loses the stat, and the person who received the stat permanently increases the stat.

: It is possible to transfer up to 10 points per day.]

“……”

I was a little perplexed.

And Seo Ji-hye opened her mouth towards me.

“If you bring someone who will permanently lose 10 stat points, we will transfer them immediately.”

Of course, if it is a lot, it is a lot, if it is a little, it is a small amount.

No, it was definitely a lot.

If it's 10, it's the amount you need to level up to get it.

Moreover, as the level went up, the weight of the 1st level increased tremendously.

But then.

“I’ll do it.”

Director Seok In-soo who spoke first.

First of all, I dried up such a manager Seok In-soo.

Director Seok In-soo is in a very central position within Myeongjin.

However.

“10 pieces is enough to take into account.”

Of course, there were people who raised the realization rate of 200 people belonging to Myungjin besides Seok In-soo behind the scenes.

And maybe there will be people who will voluntarily come out as soon as I speak, but there is a possibility that bad words will come out later.

So, at the words of In-soo Seok, the top executive, that he would try, he had no choice but to stand side by side in front of Ji-hye Seo.

Then Seo Ji-hye grabbed my hand and Seok In-soo's hand.

After that, she opened her mouth to Seok Insu.“Do you agree to handing over 10 stat points to your opponent?”

"To agree."

After Seok Insu’s reply, Seo Ji-hye opened her mouth to me this time.

“Do you agree to take over 10 stat points from your opponent?”

"To agree."

There was absolutely no cheating or puns, so I said I agreed, and at that moment a message rang.

[I was handed 10 stat points to the other party.

-Permanently increases agility by 10.]

“……”

Of course, limited skills that were openly revealed in front of you.

In other words, I knew from the beginning that it wasn't a lie.

But I couldn't help but be speechless for a moment because I didn't think there was such a thing.

And then, the manager of Insoo Seok opened her mouth.

“A message rang saying that 10 Dexterity stat points were permanently lost.”

As soon as Director Seok In-soo finished speaking, he spat out a word to Seo Ji-hye.

“First, go to Myungjin Shelter.”

10 per day?

In one year, there had to be only 3650 pieces.

And if it continues to accumulate, it will become a huge amount later.

In particular, Kim Yul-jung, the owner of which Seo Ji-hye spoke.

It seemed like she knew why she killed 1000 people and resurrected Seo Ji-hye.

To be honest, I would have done the same.

In particular, considering Kim Yul-jeong's position, there must have been a lot of people around who would dedicate 10 stat points.

today.

“I said everything. I also told my owner, Kim Yul-jung, a secret that I did not tell.”

“Of course you know.”

Certainly the secret was great.

I thought I knew why he kept it a secret from Kim Yul-jung.

“The moment Hong Jooyoung revealed herself without hiding her identity, and the moment she unfolded her majesty without regret, I thought that the only person who could put an end to me was Hong Jooyoung.”

The end of what Seo Ji-hye said.

Even at the beginning, Seo Ji-hye did not ask her to release her subordination.

she wanted death

In other words, the subordination between Kim Yul-jung and Seo Ji-hye was stronger than expected.

When the owner, Kim Yul-jeong, dies, Seo Ji-hye, a subordinate to him, also dies.

Of course that's why she needed 1000 sacrifices, but it was also possible to resurrect her subordinates.

Moreover, the secret that Seo Ji-hye said.

It was hidden in the limited skill 'Stat Transfer', which was not disclosed at all.

[Limited skill: Moving stats.

-You can transfer all your current stats to your opponent.

However, the limited skill ‘Move Stats’ will be deleted immediately after use.]

The part that was not disclosed to Kim Yul-jung.

Seo Ji-hye revealed it to me.

Said she gave me in return for giving herself her death.

“Definitely wanting to die is my greed. However, under Kim Yul-jung, there are not only two people who live in hell every day under the pretext of family and false hope.”

“I don’t know, but I’ve never been the first to attack anyone. In other words, if I attack others first, quite a variety of words will come out. Especially if the target is Kim Yul-jung, the current North Korean leader.”

“That’s why I came to Hong Jooyoung.”
