Level 1 Player

"That's not your concern."

- This, this, you are too stiff. I'll give you the amount you want, but why are you coming out so uncooperatively?

“Does those words come out even after sending such a contract?”

-Why the contract? Any problem?

“Are you asking because you don’t know that? After consulting with a lawyer, there were no problems.”

In response to Hyunseong's answer, the other party was silent for a moment.

- This is just a provision in case of any unforeseen circumstances. If Choi Hyunseong is the person we want, there is nothing wrong with it.

“If it’s not the talent you want, only my status window will be unlocked.”

- Hyunseong, let's think good and good. Seowoo Guild... … .

Seo Dae-woong's persuasion began. But Hyunseong heard with one ear and let it go with the other.

Among the conditions promised by the Seowoo Guild, there was no condition for Hyunseong to feel merit.

Rather, by opening the status window, the approaching danger was felt greater.

‘If you sign a contract on the condition that you do not open the status window, there is nothing wrong with it… … .'

Such conditions would not be acceptable to the Seo Guild.

“If that’s all I have to say, then I’ll stop. I plan to change the number again as soon as the call ends, so it is no use calling this number again. And if I visit my mother one more time in the future, I will not be still.”

Hyunseong hung up the phone with those words.

* * *

“Young man is not cheap.”

Seo Dae-woong, who was holding the turned-off smartphone, frowned. Considering the shame he suffered because of Choi Hyunseong's mischief, it was not cool to drink it alive right away.

But it couldn't be that great either.

He was sarcastic and had to drag out the phone call for as long as possible.

“Did you get the location?”

"Yes."

"where are you?"

“It is here.”

“Isn’t this the area of ​​the Five Star Guild?”

"What should I do?"

“Call the Woohyun Guild and tell them to start working on it.”

"Yes."

Woohyun Guild.

It is a player guild united by guild leader Jang Woo-hyun.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary guild.

However, many things were different from the normal guild.

A guild that makes money by hunting people rather than making money by hunting monsters.

That was the Woohyun Guild.

“If you make them feel a sense of crisis, they will crawl into our arms.”

I have no intention of killing

I have no intention of threatening to join the Seo Guild like an idiot.

It's just that the player Choi Hyunseong gets into an argument with the Woohyun guild and gets into a small accident in the process.

Choi Hyunseong, who suffered an accident, will no longer be able to work as a player.

If that were the case, I would definitely think differently than I do now.

Also, albeit a collateral consequence, he will also be retaliating for the insults he suffered.

* * *

Hyunseong visited electronics stores and department stores to purchase bulk items.

From laptops to expensive luxury watches and cosmetics.

He bought all kinds of items and put them on the sales window.

Although his main focus is large-capacity batteries for gaming and camping, he could not be satisfied with this level.

‘As the sales window has increased, we have to sell everything we can sell.’

When only a single item is sold, the sales speed will stagnate at some point.It was advantageous in the long run to continuously increase the number of items sold.

The price was also flexible.

We lowered the prices of poorly-selling items and raised the prices of items that sold well.

‘I think this is roughly enough.’

What Hyunseong can do is over.

‘It’s the start of hunting again.’

Hunting was the only way to become stronger while receiving points.

* * *

-Unbelievable Achievements - Legendary Rank

- You have hunted 10,000 high-level Toadman monsters alone.

-Achievement Reward: Title [Toadman Slayer - Legendary Rank]

'finished.'

The Toad Man achievement has been completed.

‘There is still time.’

Hyunseong immediately left the Todd Man dungeon.

Hyunseong got into a taxi and headed straight for the goblin dungeon that he had foretold.

“Is that guy?”

"Yes."

“Let’s go quietly.”

“Yes, brother.”

A van started quietly following Hyunseong's taxi.

Upon arriving at the goblin dungeon, Hyunseong immediately got out of the taxi and entered the dungeon.

And those who came in a van followed Hyunseong into the goblin dungeon.

‘It’s a forest.’

The goblin dungeon was the type of dungeon Hyunseong first encountered.

The ceiling of the dungeon was emitting a soft red light like the sunset at sunset, and trees and grass over 5 meters tall grew like a jungle inside the dungeon.

‘Let’s go in.’

He was the first to see him, but there was no need to be nervous.

It is a dungeon with a much lower level than Hyunseong's specifications.

There was no difference in difficulty from the existing dungeon hunting, except that the environment was slightly different.

‘Stealth.’

After using the skill, Hyunseong headed to the heart of the dungeon, out of sight of the security guards as usual.

‘This will be fine.’

Neither the security guards nor the other players came into sight.

There were only monsters, goblins, around here.

'Magic Missile.'

Whoops!

The moment Hyunseong used the skill, the head of one goblin was smashed as it was.

Kyaaaah!

Goblins began to flock from all directions.

Hyunseong also started a counterattack against the attacks of goblins with crude weapons.

He used fireball and magic missile skills to eliminate enemies from a distance, and slashes close enemies with a vampire sword.

And the poison stings flying in the middle were blocked through the cloak of the vampire bat.

The goblins began to be swept away in an instant.

It was the same level of difficulty as the Toad Man I had just hunted.

Kwajik!

One goblin, who resisted until the end, pierced his heart with Hyunseong's sword.

'finished.'

Now, all you have to do is retrieve the manastones and items to the subspace and move to another place.

crumble!At that moment, I heard the sound of something moving from the bushes behind me.

‘Are there any leftovers?’

Hyunseong turned his body and prepared to use his ranged attack skill.

“What the hell kind of guy messed up our hunting grounds?”

A human voice was heard in Hyunseong's ears.

'player?'

It wasn't the goblins that appeared as they parted through the bushes, but a group of players.

“I think it’s him!”

The leading player pointed to Hyunseong and shouted.

“What are you, did you hunt freely in our hunting grounds?”

The man at the forefront threatened Hyunseong with a threatening voice.

“Where is your hunting ground in the yard you entered after paying the same usage fee?”

Hyunseong replied with an absurd expression.

“This is where we hunted every day. So, of course, it’s our hunting ground.”

It was completely nonsense.

“Leave the manastones as they are, since we hunted as we wished at our hunting grounds. And as a reward for hunting the monsters we will catch, we leave your equipment behind.”

'Crazy guys.'

Hyunseong was absurd at the appearance of the truth that he saw for the first time in his life.

‘I didn’t know that I would meet the bastards I had only heard of on the Internet in person.’

Modern electronic equipment does not work inside the dungeon.

Naturally, if a problem occurred between players inside the dungeon, they had no choice but to rely on each other's testimony.

Even if a fatal accident occurred, it was often dismissed as a death caused by a monster.

The problem is that there are players who take advantage of that.

Criminals who threaten a small number of players to steal items and equipment, or even kill them in extreme cases.

‘But, even after seeing this scene, do these words come out?’

Hyunseong wiped out the goblin horde alone.

This is possible only if you have a much higher specification than the players who hunt in the goblin dungeon.

He quarrels with himself like that first.

‘You guys made a big mistake.’

They picked the wrong opponent.

“I can’t seem to understand it in words. Then you have to show it in action. Guys, let's go!”

"Yes!"

The two assholes all rushed to Hyunseong.

‘Slow.’

The whole movement was clearly visible.

The level of players hunting in the goblin dungeon seemed higher than that of the players.

However, compared to Hyunseong, who surpassed the level of the goblin dungeon a long time ago, the difference in specifications was as big as that of an adult and a child.

Whik!

The first player to arrive stabbed the spear without hesitation.

The goal is Hyunseong's bridge.

‘These guys… … .'

Hyunseong's eyes were colored with anger at the behavior of the men who stabbed their weapons at people without hesitation.

Scratch!

He swung his vampire sword and slashed the spear.

At the same time, with his heel, he grabbed a spear and struck the attacker's temple.

Whoops!

The body of the guy who was hit by Hyunseong rotated about half a turn in the air, and then fell to the floor as it was.

“Kill!”

Seeing their colleague collapsed, the sheepdogs burst into rage and ran towards them.

But Hyunseong calmly defeated his enemies.It was the first time I had a real battle against a human.

However, it was not that difficult because he had dealt with humanoid monsters in the past.

Hyunseong defended with his sword and shield and used his elbows and feet to subdue his bastards one by one.

Then one of the bastards rushed towards Hyunseong's sword.

behavior that appears to be suicidal.

Hyunseong quickly twisted his sword.

wickedness!

But the distance was too close.

As a result, the blade of the vampire sword swept past the shoulder area of ​​both arches.

Whoops!

Hyunseong blew away Yangachi's face with his sword hand.

That was the beginning.

Recognizing Hyunseong's intentions, the Guernseys deliberately hurled themselves towards the vampire sword.

‘They are really crazy.’

Hyunseong put the vampire sword into its sheath.

And he took only one shield and began to knock down his enemies.

The victory was split in an instant.

Hyunseong simply knocked down the assholes who had attacked him.

The difference in stats was so great that the two assholes couldn't even give Hyunseong a small scratch.

crumble.

Then the bushes were cut and a man appeared.

‘Are you a security guard?’

The level of equipment he was wearing was quite high.

"excuse me… … .”

“Guild Master!”

As soon as Hyunseong opened his mouth to explain the situation, the bastards who fell on the floor called the man with a bright face.

“Did you make our guild members like this?”

Her man asked Hyunseong in a lively voice.

“These people go first… … .”

widely!

Before Hyunseong could finish speaking, her man rushed towards him.

* * *

'The kids did well.'

Jang Woo-hyun smiled as he remembered the bloody guild members.

It is not easy to distinguish between the perpetrators and the victims in disputes between players within the dungeon.

Of course, it was difficult to punish them legally.

What if the players in the conflict were both injured?

The police and prosecutors concluded that it was a two-way assault and turned off their nerves.

‘It would have been simpler if it had been a quest to kill.’

This play was necessary because of the demanding requirements of the client.

‘I have to finish it quickly.’

Jang Woo-hyun rushed towards the target and pulled out the sword.

'I'll just cut off one leg.'

The client's request is to make the target impossible to act as a player.

In the case of arms, there are variables.

To remove the variable, one leg was cut off.

Jang Woo-hyun swung his sword towards the target's left leg.

Break!

‘Stop it?’

Jang Woo-hyun's face was slightly distorted.

He is a player who has completed his 2nd job change.

That his own attack was blocked by a kid who was hunting in a low-level dungeon.

Her self-esteem was hurt.

Jang Woo-hyun attacked with even more fierce momentum.

However, the target's defense was very solid.

‘You’re not good enough to play in a goblin dungeon.’

Of course, he was far below him.

However, it seemed quite difficult to cut off one leg neatly as it was originally intended.

‘Annoying bastard.’

I changed my mind.

‘I was trying to finish it neatly.’

The resistance was so strong that I felt like I had to take one more arm instead of one leg.

‘Strong.’

A cold sweat was running down Hyunseong's back.

The opponent who suddenly attacked me was different from the bastards I had just defeated.

power and speed.

It was superior to Hyunseong in every way.

The black is light and the sword is heavy.

But his man's sword was faster than Hyunseong's sword.

His man's great sword tenaciously aimed at Hyunseong's limbs.

If he was careless even for a moment, one of his limbs would be cut off.

Without the shield, he probably wouldn't have survived until now.

‘Why the hell did this happen?’

Hyunseong couldn't quite understand the current situation.

'You have to get out of here. Fire Spear.’

I used the strongest fire sphere among the skills I currently have.

Whoops!

A spear of flame flew towards the man.

Aww!

The fire spear hit the man with a loud bang.

The distance was so close that there was no time to avoid and sleep.

Hyunseong chose to retreat instead of onslaught.

And the choice was right.

“How dare this bastard… … !”

The man burst out of anger and came out through the flames.

'It's not a critical hit.'

The man's hair and eyebrows burned out, but that was all.

There was no significant damage other than a slight tan on his armor.

Even with the penetration power of the Fire Spear, it could not penetrate the opponent's armor.

Hyunseong ran with all his might.

I felt a tingling sensation behind my back.

‘I was saving points for nothing… … .'

Hyunseong regretted his choice to save points.

He earned over 25 billion points, but he was saving up as much as he could to help a little with his later elixir purchases.

Points are used when the level of the hunting dungeon increases.

This is because he didn't think he was in any danger in the low-level dungeon he was currently hunting.

but it wasn't

The threat Hyunseong would face in the dungeon wasn't just monsters.

‘It’s not just a coincidence.’

At first he thought he was unlucky.

But seeing his man's attack pattern changed his mind.‘I didn’t mean to take my life.’

The in-house ability is clearly superior to Hyunseong.

The quickest way to determine his victory is to cut his opponent's breath by aiming for a vital spot.

It also made the post-processing much cleaner.

If Hyunseong survives, there will definitely be problems.

Nevertheless, the opponent tenaciously aimed at Hyunseong's limbs.

I didn't know at first.

However, while he was absorbed in defense, he noticed the appearance of his opponent who did not attack at all even though the defense of his head and body parts had become weak.

They dug a trap for Hyunseong from the beginning.

The purpose is to cripple Hyunseong.

‘Why the hell?’

I couldn't quite understand why they did this.

But now was not the time to think about it.

Getting out of the current crisis was the first priority.

‘What should I buy?’

Hyunseong, who opened the purchase window, quickly skimmed through the list of hero grade skill books.

He threw fire spears in succession to keep the enemy in check, but he didn't know how long it would last.

There was no time to buy a stat increase elixir and eat them one by one.

He needed a powerful skill that could turn the situation around.

This is not the time to save points.

‘This is it.’

Survival Instinct - Heroic Rank

-Passive skill book

-When life is threatened, all stats are increased by 50% for 60 seconds.

-Once activated, it has a cooldown of 1 hour.

-Seller: Baliduin

-Sales price: 19,999,999,999 points

20 billion points.

But now was not the time to save points.

-Passive Skillbook Survival Instinct - Would you like to purchase a hero rank? Once purchased, items cannot be refunded or exchanged.

-[Yes No]

‘Unconditionally yes.’

A gorgeous skill book with a soft purple color appeared.

Hyunseong grabbed the skillbook.

-Passive Skillbook Survival Instinct - Do you want to master the hero rank?

-[Yes No]

I also chose yes.

-Passive Skills Survival Instinct - Heroic rating is triggered.

The moment it was learned, the skill was activated.

Because Hyunseong was feeling extremely life-threatening right now.

The increased stats were immediately felt.

Not 5%, not 50%.

I couldn't help but feel it.

Because the stats have increased by more than 400 degrees.

Although it was only 60 seconds, Hyunseong's total stats rose to a level comparable to that of the player who completed the 3rd awakening.

Of course, since all the stats are increased evenly, the combat power is inevitably lower than the 3rd Awakening player who has intensively raised the main stats.

But against his man, this was enough.

turned around right away.

The figure of a man running towards him with a face full of anger came in.

The movement of the man, who had seemed so powerful until recently, felt so slow.‘You have to make them completely incapacitated.’

The activation time of the survival instinct is decreasing even at this time.

We had to see the match as quickly as possible.

Hyunseong raised his vampire sword.

The moment Hyunseong and his man are about to collide... … .

widely!

Suddenly, a woman appeared between Hyunseong and her man.

wiggle.

The woman swung her spear lightly at her man.

Break!

The moment the blade of the sword in her man's hand collided with the spear, it was cut like a piece of paper.

"uh?"

Her man glanced at her own dagger, with only her handle remaining, with her absurd expression on her face.

At that moment, the second attack followed naturally like water.

The spear that cut off the blade of the sword rotated lightly, and the spear struck the man's back as it was.

Whoops!

The man who had been hit in the back of the head by the spear fell helplessly to the floor.

The man who drove Hyunseong into an extreme crisis collapsed in vain.

The woman who knocked down her man turned her body lightly.

bum bum.

And one step at a time, he began to approach Hyunseong.

‘What happened?’

I was shocked by the sudden reversal.

Hyunseong looked at the woman approaching him in a tense state.

Survival instinct skill was activated, but he did not dare to resist against the woman in front of him.

“Hello, Choi Hyunseong.”

The woman who knocked down her man called Hyunseong's name with a bright smile.

“The last time I saw you, I was very rude.”

'Who is it?'

When the mysterious woman pretended to be secretly towards him, Hyunseong was not a little embarrassed.

'It's definitely familiar... … .'

It must have been seen somewhere.

"Ah!"

I finally remembered.

‘She is the woman who gave me a rare-grade potion.’

She was a player in the Players' Association she ran into when the trio made a fuss.

The potion she gave her was now well kept in Hyunseong's Ah Space.

When she found out who her partner was, she was relieved.

"Thank you for your help."

“No, I am sorry. In fact, I’ve been watching from the beginning.”

"Yes?"

At the woman's words, Hyunseong put on a puzzled expression.

“I’ve been watching you ever since you first started working on it. I'm rather sorry that I couldn't come forward."

“Work?”

“Yes, these guys are repeat offenders.”

At the woman's words, Hyunseong understood the situation.

“Ah, I guess you were watching these guys on purpose to prove their criminal activity.”

Hyunseong thought it was some kind of undercover investigation.

"no. I wanted to know how good Choi Hyunseong is.”

"Yes? Me?"“Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Yoona Shin, who is in charge of the inspector general of the Players Association. I followed Choi Hyunseong into the goblin dungeon, not them.”

“What do you mean… … ?”

“First of all, the purpose of my visit to Choi Hyunseong is to go out of the dungeon and talk about it. We have to deal with these guys first.”

At Shin Yoon-ah's words, Hyunseong nodded.

"all right. But you said these people are repeat offenders. Have you ever committed a similar crime before?”

“Yes, there is no evidence, but they have been pointed out as suspects in the disappearances that occurred in multiple dungeons.”

“A missing person?”

“I am judging that the word is a case of disappearance and, in fact, a case of murder.”

At Shin Yoon-ah's words, Hyunseong's spine shuddered.

He had doubts with him.

The man had no intention of killing himself.

He seems to have changed his mind after taking a shot at Fire Spear, but he certainly had no intention of killing Hyunseong until then.

“I don’t think you had any intention of killing me in the first place.”

“I think so too. Seeing that the guild members rushed to Choi Hyunseong's sword in the first battle, it seems like they were trying to drive them into two-sided assault after leaving the dungeon.”

“Why the hell did you do this?”

Hyunseong is a player who mainly hunts in low-level dungeons.

To say that it was an expensive item, it was only a vampire sword, and the rest were rented equipment.

There is no way they would know the value of a vampire sword.

Even if I knew it, it was more convenient to kill Hyunseong and take it away.

“Now we have to find out why.”

Shin Yoona smiled brightly and then tapped her man on the floor with her spear.

“Wake up because you know you’re awake.”

Even with Shin Yoona's words, she didn't even move the man.

“I was trying not to use a radical method.”

Shin Yoona, who frowned slightly at her, poked her spear lightly.

Whoops!

Her sharp spear blade pierced through the cracks in her armor and pierced her man's thigh.

“Aww!”

Her man screamed at her and twisted her body.

“If we woke up earlier, we would be good for each other. Why did you work on Choi Hyunseong?”

At Shin Yoona's question, her man opened her mouth with an expression full of resentment.

“What do you mean? I just went out to protect the guild members who were unfairly assaulted! And is it okay for a player association executive to assault a good player like this? And attacking a stunned opponent! I will formally inform the media about this and report it to the police!”

Shin Yoona was fed up with her man's protest and burst into laughter.

“How does the one who said fainted know that I am a player association executive?”

At Shin Yoon-ah's question, her man was speechless.

“And are you stupid? Can't you understand the situation? Don't you know where this is?"

Shin Yoon-ah asked with a lively smile.

“This is a dungeon. Even if you die here, there's no proof that I killed you. Don't you think Choi Hyunseong, who you were trying to work on, will file a complaint with the police on your behalf?”

Her man lost her words.

The dungeon is a world of weak and strong food.

There is no such thing as legal protection.

That's why I was working with Hyunseong in the dungeon.

On the other hand, he found himself getting the job done.

“If you don’t want to see the goblin dungeon become a graveyard for you and your guild members, it would be better if you just pour it. You don’t have to be worthy to use it as a witness to save your life.”

“Are you threatening me now? The players association executive is going to kill a good player?”

“Hey man, I still haven’t made up my mind. Choi Hyunseong, can you spare a moment for me?”

“Yes, I will.”

“If possible, please make sure that the guys you defeated earlier understand the situation and don’t run away. If even one person escapes, it will be difficult.”

"all right."

Hyunseong moved towards the place where the two assholes that he had suppressed earlier were located.

The man's desperate scream erupted from behind Hyunseong's back.
