Level 1 Player

Wow!

Then an emergency alarm went off in the command and control room.

"what's going on?"

In response to Shin Yoon-ah's question, a member of the association in charge of collecting information hurriedly opened his mouth.

“This is an emergency! A new dimension gate has opened at Seoul Station!”

Shin Yoon-ah's expression hardened coldly.

Seoul is the most populous city among large cities.

If the initial suppression was unsuccessful, human casualties were inevitably large.

“What kind of monster are you?”

"Checking. Ah, the Wyvern horde has escaped!”

The most troublesome type of monster appeared.

The Wyvern is a hero grade monster.

In addition, due to the unique mobility of flying in the sky, it is difficult to deal with even a high-level party.

“Are you in charge of the TS Guild at Seoul Station?”

"Yes that's right! We are now urgently requesting assistance!”

'At least... … .'

The TS Guild is a large guild with many tanks and close dealers with excellent skills.

The problem is that it is not a good match against the Wyvern, which has good mobility.

“Give the Yuhwa Guild an order to go immediately!”

The Yuhwa Guild was a large guild with wizard-type players as its mainstay.

"Yes! all right!"

Shin Yoona grabbed her weapon and herself to run to Seoul Station.

Wow!

Then the emergency alarms started ringing one after another.

“A new dimension gate has opened in Dunsan-dong, Daejeon! A horde of harpies is pouring out!”

“It is said that an ogre appeared from the Orc Dimensional Gate in Yeonsan-dong, Busan!”

“This is a report that a blue drake has appeared at the troll dimension gate in Osan, Gyeonggi-do!”

Accidents began to occur one after another.

Shin Yoon-ah, who was about to run out, paused for a moment.

“If it’s a troll dimension gate in Osan-si, Gyeonggi-do, isn’t it the area where Choi Hyunseong is working?”

"Yes. The first reporter was also Choi Hyunseong! We are now making urgent requests for support!”

“As of this time, all operations in Osan are cancelled. Tell all players to leave the field.”

"all right!"

Blue Drake is one of the highest ranked monsters in the hero class.

He was not at a level that high-level players could do anything about, but a party made up of rankers had to go out.

But now, he couldn't afford to deploy the rankers to other areas.

It was because he lacked the manpower to defend the large city where the majority of civilians were gathered.

Fortunately, the evacuation order was issued in Osan City, and there were no civilians to protect.

In this case, retreat was the right choice.

* * *

Aaaaaaaaah!

A building that looked beyond the tenth floor was smashed with a loud bang.

‘When are you coming for support?’

Hyunseong looked at the pager with an urgent expression.

-All operations in Osan City will be canceled as of the current time! Players, please leave the scene as soon as possible!

Instead of the news that reinforcements were coming, an order to withdraw was issued.

Hyunseong also wanted to follow instructions.

However… … .

‘I mean, it’s not like I’m leaving the scene.’

Aaaaaaah!

Angry Blue Drake ran madly at Hyunseong.

‘Why are you chasing me and making a fuss?’

The moment Blue Drake crossed the dimensional gate, Hyunseong immediately tried to avoid himself.

It was because Hyunseong was not a level monster that he could face.

The problem is that Blue Drake has been attacking only Hyunseong like a bee greedy for flowers.

Blue Drake's mobility was significantly faster than Hyunseong's.

He was running away using the surrounding buildings as a shield, but as the distance narrowed, it did not get farther away.

‘Eat this.’

Hyunseong used the Firestorm skill to distract Blue Drake's gaze.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

A huge explosion erupted and the area around Blue Drake turned into a sea of ​​fire.

thud! thud! thud!

But the hot flames did no harm to Blue Drake.

He couldn't even cover his eyes.

Blue Drake casually crossed the flames and rushed towards Hyunseong.

Blue Drake accurately pinpointed Hyunseong's location and attacked even in a situation where it was difficult to see even an inch ahead due to flames and smoke.

‘How the hell are you chasing me?’

Hyunseong continuously used flame-based skills.

It was to block sound, temperature, and vision.

Whoops!

But to no avail.

Gradually, the distance with Blue Drake grew closer.

‘Are we going to have to fight?’

The problem is that there is no chance of winning.

Blue Drake is tough enough to receive the skills of a wizard-type ranker player with his bare body.There was no way he could be hit by Hyunseong's attack, which had lower magical power than the rankers and only used rare-grade skills.

In order to defeat the superlative hero level monster like Blue Drake, a party of rankers must come forward.

‘Still, I can’t die like this.’

Hyunseong clenched his teeth.

Hold on!

A blue lightning bolt wrapped around Hyunseong's body.

Among the hero-grade skills he possesses, he uses the only combat skill, Breath of Lightning.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

At that moment, Blue Drake became even more frantic and ran towards Hyunseong.

‘Let’s try it.’

Fragile!

The vampire sword was stained with blue lightning.

Whik!

Hyunseong swung his sword towards Blue Drake's leg.

With such a large body, the only place Hyunseong could melee attack was his legs.

Paga Gaga!

It didn't feel like cutting leather and muscle.

The sound was also strange.

It sounded like metal being shredded.

'what's this?'

It was a blow that Hyunseong swung with all his might.

But the results were truly disastrous.

There was only a small scratch on the blue drake's scales.

Koo!

Blue Drake swung his forefoot to sail Hyunseong.

He quickly avoided his body.

But it was only a temporary measure.

Because Blue Drake didn't have one foot.

Hyunseong continued to swing his sword while dodging Blue Drake's attack.

But it had no effect.

Only small scratches were added to the scales of Blue Drake.

‘The scales are too strong.’

To deal damage, you had to find the weakness of Blue Drake.

‘Tummy skin.’

An area that can be called a weakness.

Hyunseong ran towards Blue Drake.

Whik!

Aww!

And he flew away from the blue drake's front paws that were slammed down from the sky as if sliding.

Hyunseong's body went under Blue Drake's.

Fragile!

At the same time, the skills strengthened by the breath of lightning were continuously poured onto Blue Drake's belly.

I raised my magic power to the max.

Survival instinct skills were also activated in desperation that they might die if this attack failed, and the power of the skills was truly enormous.

However… … .

‘Aren’t you bleeding a drop?’

The scales were cracked and tanned, but that was all.

No matter how you look at it, it was far from fatal.

Whik!

At that moment, Blue Drake's front foot flew towards Hyunseong.

Hyunseong quickly rolled his body to avoid it.

Quazy!

The ground where Hyunseong fled was cut by Blue Drake's sharp claws.

'fast.'

While dodging the attack, Blue Drake unknowingly turned and stood in front of Hyunseong.

Blue Drake was quite agile despite its enormous size.

Fragile!

The blue drake's horns were dyed with a blue thunderbolt along with a tremendous flow of magic.

‘You should avoid it.’

The moment Hyunseong flew his body, a blue lightning bolt hit his body.

“Aaaaah!”

A scream erupted from Hyunseong's mouth.

Even though she was protected by the lightning's breath, she felt the pain as if her whole body was being burned.

The activation of the survival instinct is not over yet.

Of course, the skill resistance would have risen due to the increased mental power.

But nevertheless, he could not withstand the attack of the Blue Drake.

dump!

Hyunseong fell to the floor helplessly.

The rare-grade armor he was wearing was black and half-broken.

The vampire sword was also charred, and of course the blade was broken in half.

Crumble!

The Blue Drake, who had been watching the fallen prey with satisfaction, opened his mouth.

and… … .

Kwajik!

They put the prey into their mouth, chewed it, and then swallowed it.

* * *

‘Aaaaah!’I screamed in pain in my throat as the pain spread throughout my body.

But the scream did not come out of his throat.

why?

His lungs were torn, and his screaming neck had been cut in half and he was rumbling.

There was no sensation under her chest.

His right arm was exposed with bones and muscles, and his left arm was torn from his upper body.

All that was left for Hyunseong was his head, chest, and right arm.

‘I can’t die like this.’

If you die here, it's all over.

His own death is not the only problem.

He cannot cure his father's illness.

What if my father doesn't get treatment?

Even families who were enjoying a stable life had no choice but to return to the hell of the past.

body melted

The magic power was also scattered little by little.

‘You can’t go any lower.’

My body was slowly going down.

The lower you went, the faster your body melted, and the more quickly your magic power dissipated.

Kwajik!

Hyunseong gave strength to his only remaining right hand and thrust the half-broken vampire sword into the wall.

Slurry!

Warm water with a fishy smell poured down Hyunseong's body.

The pouring water was absorbed by the vampire sword.

The option of the Vampire Sword and the option of the Vampire Ball began to play out at the same time.

It was a very small amount, but I could feel the consumed stamina and mana recovering.

His muscles ripped open and gave strength to his bony right arm.

The power didn't come in properly.

But I could move a little.

He fixed his body by biting the wall with his mouth, and inserted the vampire sword deeper.

More water burst out.

That water was Hyunseong's living water.

As stamina and magical power were restored, the Book of Immortality began to be activated.

How much time has passed?

Gradually, consciousness became clearer, and strength entered his arms.

More than half of it had been cut off and the dangling neck was properly attached to the body.

But the pain was still there.

It also had only a head and a right arm that could move.

He survived thanks to the Book of Immortality.

‘The amount of health and mana recovered is too low.’

Recovers stamina and magical power with the power of the Vampire Sword and Vampire Ball.

The book of immortality is activated using the recovered stamina and magic power as an energy source.

However, there was too much stamina consumed to recover the continuously dissipating magic power and the continuously melting body.

‘Is it Blue Drake’s camouflage?’

The exact location was difficult to determine.

But it seemed clear that it was inside the stomach.

Blue Drake's stomach was special.

A powerful acid melted Hyunseong's body, and the walls of his stomach continued to take away the magical energy that resided in Hyunseong's body.

‘Can I recover more?’

The body was recovering and melting repeatedly.

Magic power was also accumulated and consumed repeatedly.

Maybe this will last forever.

For a moment, I thought that the book of immortality might be a book of curses.

If you do it wrong, you may be left in a state where you can neither die nor live forever.

‘I can’t.’

Hyunseong solidified his will.

I couldn't die like this.

He bit Blue Drake's stomach with his mouth.

Blue Drake's stomach was so tough that Hyunseong's teeth couldn't even scratch it.

But I kept chewing and chewing over and over again.

He continued to move the vampire sword in his right hand with him.

He had to widen the wound a little.

Only then could more blood be obtained.

I didn't know how much time had passed.

Hyunseong relentlessly tried to widen the scar on Blue Drake's stomach.

But it wasn't easy.

The only weapon that could be said was a vampire sword with only half the blade left.

In a dangerous situation where he could go straight to Blue Drake's intestines if he's wrong, the only thing Hyunseong can support is a vampire sword and teeth in his right hand.

The problem is that Drake's self-healing ability is quite good.

The wounds that had been widened often healed quickly.

The problem wasn't just that.

Blue Drake did not stand still for a moment.

It continued to move violently.

It was an even harsher environment for Hyunseong, who had to endure by relying on a vampire sword and teeth.

Hyunseong's will continued to diverge.

He was to the point of wanting to be at ease after dying rather than wanting to live for a moment.

Hyunseong endured as he recalled the faces of his family.

And he continued to recover and wear out over and over again.Then then.

A small change has occurred.

-Passive skill Book of Immortality - Unique hero rank has grown.

‘What is this… … ?'

Hyunseong didn't learn any skills.

However, the book of immortality has grown.

'no way?'

Blood of Blue Drake.

It was clear that the blood of the Blue Drake, which had been absorbed by the Vampire Sword and Vampire Ball, had caused something strange.

The way the Book of Immortality could grow was not just absorbing the skill book.

There is a little hope.

At the same time, the will that had been worn out was firmly established again.

Breaking human will is not a miserable reality.

hope.

Human will is broken when the hope of escaping from the miserable reality disappears.

No matter how desperate the situation, if there is hope that it can change, human will will not be broken.

Hyunseong gave strength to his right arm.

And he swung his vampire sword even harder.

* * *

The appearance of hero-grade monsters that started all over the country was not easily arranged.

There were not 1 or 2 hero grade monsters that appeared when the dimension gate opened.

Conversely, there were very few players with the skills to deal with hero-grade monsters.

As a result.

Blue Drake, located in Osan-si, had not yet been subjugated.

Unfortunately, the only good thing was that the Dimensional Gate continued to vomit only trolls.

The government put the Blue Drake subjugation at the bottom of the list.

This is because there were more urgent tasks than subjugating the Blue Drake that appeared in Osan, where the introduction operation had already ended.

“Is Choi Hyunseong dead?”

Shin Yoona's expression hardened like a stone, wearing her blood-stained armor.

“I guess so.”

“Why did that happen? I clearly ordered the withdrawal, right?”

“ Choi Hyunseong was tasked with sealing the dimensional gate. Naturally, the distance to Blue Drake was also the closest. He heard the evacuation order and tried to pull himself out, but presumably he couldn't afford it."

"Damn it!"

Shin Yoon-ah's face was horribly distorted.

All sorts of thoughts occupied her mind.

Would Hyunseong have survived if he had sent reinforcements?

But it was practically impossible.

Because more urgent things were scattered everywhere.

I couldn't give up tens or millions of lives to save one Hyunseong.

‘Should I have gone there myself?’

That too was impossible.

As accidents happened one after another, Yoona Shin had to fight without a break.

At that time, she said, if Shin Yoon-ah had gone to Osan, she would have suffered much greater damage from her dimensional gate at Seoul Station than now.

She also said that just because Shin Yoona said she wanted to go to Osan, she wouldn't have been allowed by the association and the government.

“Did the bereaved family know about this?”

"She didn't send a death notice in person, but I presume she's aware of the list of players who have died on the internet," she said.

"ha!"

A sigh erupted from the mouth of her god Yoona.

* * *

'done.'

Hyunseong burst into cheers in his heart.

After many years of hard work, he had finally drilled a hole in Blue Drake's stomach wall that was large enough for his body to pass through.

He continued to suck the blood of the Blue Drake with his Vampire Sword and Vampire Ball.

The Book of Immortality continued to grow and presented even a little faster recovery, and the survival instinct skill that was activated every 60 seconds at 60-minute intervals greatly helped Hyunseong's survival.

Hyunseong used his right arm and teeth to break through his stomach wall.

At the same time, the phenomenon of his magical power dissipating disappeared.

‘Aaaaah.’

The tiredness I always felt was gone.

‘There is a lot of blood.’

Blood to be absorbed by the Vampire Sword and Vampire Ball is scattered everywhere.

He had to quickly restore his damaged body.

That way you can get out of here.

Whoops!

Hyunseong stabbed the vampire sword in all directions.

The Vampire Sword and Vampire Ball absorbed the blood from the wounded area and restored Hyunseong's stamina and magical power.

Blue Drake started to glow.

Hyunseong endured and endured with a vampire sword embedded in it.

After that, it was the same thing over and over again.

The damaged body gradually recovered.

His lost left arm and upper body slowly returned to their original shape.

'too slow.'

There wasn't as much blood as I expected.

In addition, Blue Drake's recovery was so great that the wound healed quickly.

Hyunseong stuttered and looked around.

tuk tuk tuk.

How much did you wander?

A slight vibration was felt.

listened

tuk tuk tuk.

A sound was heard.

Hyunseong used his arms to crawl to where the sound was coming from.

The recovery of his left arm gave Hyunseong quick mobility.

'found.'

A thumping vibration was definitely felt.

The blood vessels were clear.

‘Fire Blade.’

He poured all the recovered magic power into one skill.

The vampire sword, whose blade had been cut in half, was engulfed in red flames.

Scratch!

The vampire sword cut through Blue Drake's veins.

Aaaaaaah!

With a loud shout, Blue Drake started to glow.

Hyunseong thrust the vampire sword into Blue Drake's body and grabbed the veins with his other hand.

A lot of blood started pouring out.

The Vampire Sword and Vampire Ball willingly absorbed Blue Drake's blood to restore Hyunseong's stamina and magical power.

Using that recovered stamina, the Immortal Stand quickly restored Hyunseong's body.

Blood continued to pour out.

The blood vessels were cut continuously with a vampire sword so that the wound did not heal.

Hyunseong endured and survived in the glowing Blue Drake body.

Physical strength became the nourishment for the Book of Immortality to be activated, and the recovered magical power used skills to create more wounds on Blue Drake's body.

How much time has passed?

Hyunseong restored all the missing bodies.

His magic has also been fully restored.

And at some point, Blue Drake's light stopped.

Currently, Blue Drake's physical condition is completely messed up.

A lot of blood was taken, and internal organs were damaged by Hyunseong's skill.

No matter how strong Blue Drake was, there was no way to attack the enemy inside his body.

A situation in which the enemy can attack himself and himself cannot attack the enemy.

No matter how powerful a monster was, it could not withstand this situation.

Currently, Blue Drake was slowly dying.

Fully resurrected Hyunseong moved to take Blue Drake's breath away.

pounding.

Blue Drake's heart was weakly revealing his presence.

Whoops!

A vampire sword was pierced into the heart of such Blue Drake.

Left ah ah ah!

Blood gushed out like a fountain.

Hyunseong continued to wield the vampire sword.

Blue Drake's heart was completely shattered.

Aaaaaaah!

The corpse of Blue Drake, whose breathing had stopped, slowly disintegrated.

From then on, things have changed.

The remaining magical energy that had to be emitted from all directions and turned into magic stones or items began to be absorbed into Hyunseong's body and the vampire sword.

'what?'

Hyunseong was the first to experience this phenomenon.

-Passive skill Book of Immortality - Unique hero rank has grown.

-Passive skill Book of Immortality - Unique hero rank has grown.

-Passive skill Book of Immortality - Unique hero rank has grown.

… … aftermath... …

The phrase that the Book of Immortality has grown continuously appeared.

That wasn't the end.

-Active skill Breath of Lightning - Hero rank has been enhanced.

-The Breath of Lightning grade has been changed to the only hero grade.

-The name of Breath of Lightning has been changed to Breath of the Lightning Dragon.

The hero level skill that Hyunseong possessed has been strengthened.

The Book of Immortality was at a level that could be done with that.

However, the changes that came with Breath of Lightning were truly enormous.

The grade has changed, and the name of the skill has also been changed.

-Unbelievable Achievement - Rare Rating

- You have hunted a higher level named monster with a level difference of 200 or more alone.

-Achievement Reward: Title [First Level Destroyer - Rare Grade]

-Unbelievable Achievements - Hero Rank

- You have hunted a higher level named monster with a difference of more than 300 levels alone.

-Achievement Reward: Title [First Level Destroyer - Hero Rating]

'I said I'm not a normal guy... … .'

Again, it was named.

The achievements did not end with one.

-Unbelievable Achievements - Hero Rank

- You have hunted a higher level hero level named monster Blue Drake Jetos alone.

-Achievement Reward: Title [He who defeated Blue Drake Zetos alone - Hero Rank]

The achievement reward is over.

‘Is it over?’

Then a new alarm popped up.

-Rare grade item Vampire Sword has been restored.- Vampire Sword's grade has been changed to the only hero grade.

-The name of the Vampire Sword has been changed to the Blood Sword.

The blade of the vampire sword, which had been broken in half, grew again.

The appearance has also changed.

It wasn't just the appearance that changed.

The rare-grade vampire sword was reborn as the only hero-grade dragon blood sword.

Not only Hyunseong's skill, but also the item, the vampire sword, has grown.

Aaaaah!

At that time, the remaining magical powers that had not yet entered Hyunseong's body began to coalesce.

The remaining magical powers were united and turned into a skill book.

Thunder Dragon's Scale - Heroic Rank

-Passive skill book

-Physical defense is greatly increased.

-Skill resistance is greatly increased.

- Resistance to lightning attacks is greatly increased.

-Passive Skillbook Thunder Dragon's Scale - Do you want to acquire the hero rank?

-[Yes No]

Hyunseong's choice was, of course, yes.

* * *

“What is this? What the hell happened?”

Shin Hye-sun, a player directly under the association who was in charge of monitoring Blue Drake, looked at her colleague with a bewildered expression and asked.

"Yeah… … .”

Her colleague Park Woo-dae answered in a weak voice.

It was the same with Park Woo-dae, who said that the current situation was absurd.

Meanwhile, Blue Drake continued to glow alone.

Then, the movement gradually slowed down, and suddenly he died.

“Did you get sick?”

"Is this the first time I've heard of Drake getting sick?"

It was very difficult to know how to report to the Players Association.

"uh? people.”

"what?"

“There is a person there.”

“Really?”

The archer class Shin Hye-sun and Park Woo-dae had good eyesight.

“Let’s go.”

The two flew at the same time.

Korea, which was confused by the appearance of hero-grade monsters, gradually regained stability.

Due to the activity of rankers and high-level players, they started to block the hero-level gates.

A structure and iron gate were made in front of the dimension gate to create the same environment as the existing dungeon.

The monsters could not come out of the dimension gate and were killed in the dungeon.

The explosive increase in dimensional gates also stopped.

Dimensional gates are no longer stretched.

But I couldn't be reassured.

Because we didn't know when the new dimension gates would open again.

Doo doo doo!

A military transport helicopter was flying through the air.

Shin Yoona checked her equipment with the rankers.

It was because the blue drake hunt, which had been delayed, was imminent.

“After this hunt is over, it’s time to rest.”

Ranker Yoon In-hwan said with a bright expression on his face.

Even for rankers with high levels and stats, blocking this second cataclysm was close to hardship.

I was so busy that I didn't even have time to rest except to close my eyes for a while when I moved to another place.

Stamina and mana were often consumed at the same time as recovery.

After the blue drake hunt was over, the frantic mobilization was over for the time being.

"Iknow, right. I've never been so busy in my life."

Ranker Kang In-hee received Yun In-hwan's words.

“Now I can rest.”

The conversation between the rankers continued without end.

Being able to have a conversation without sleeping while on the move was proof that I had more free time.

Shin Yoon-ah was silent and kept silent without interfering in the conversation.

Blue Drake.

Choi Hyunseong, a player directly affiliated with the association, has died.

'I'm not the type of person to die... … .'

If he grew up over time, he was a person who was highly likely to become one of the players representing Korea.

Talent with unique skills.

He shouldn't have died in vain like this.

In fact, the relationship between Yoona Shin and Hyunseong Choi is not very deep.

We only met twice.

It's just someone with the same unique skill, so it's just an opponent I felt a little intimacy with.

However, whether the relationship was deep or not, the death of an acquaintance was not at all familiar.

'Damn bastards.'

Shin Yoona recalled the government figures she had a big fight with a few days ago and she bit her teeth.

Player associations are dictated by the government.

In any case, as it is an affiliated institution of the state, it had to follow the government's instructions in a broad framework.

After the news of Choi Hyunseong's death became known, the government's actions were truly speculative.

The guards attached to Choi Hyunseong's family were withdrawn, and that was not enough, so he charged the bereaved family for the loss of the equipment Choi Hyunseong had rented.

It wasn't just that.Because he could not properly perform the contract, he even claimed a penalty for the down payment and annual salary paid before that.

If Choi Hyunseong's bereaved family renounces the inheritance, the problem is solved neatly.

However, if that happens, the bereaved family will not receive compensation for the death of player Choi Hyunseong, who died fighting for the country.

That is what government officials thought.

he's dead anyway

The amount of money going out should be reduced as much as possible.

When Shin Yoon-ah found out about this, she was furious.

And she was openly accusing government officials and fighting.

Although he made various excuses, when Shin Yoon-ah asked, ‘Are you going to do the same thing even if I die?’, government officials became dumb with honey.

Unlike Choi Hyunseong, who died, Yoona Shin, who was alive, was an important source of financial resources that the country must secure.

Yoona Shin is ranked among the top 100 rankings worldwide.

It was burdensome for the government to set up such a confrontation with Shin Yoon-ah.

In the end, government officials canceled the claim for loss of equipment and the penalty for non-compliance.

And it was decided to put a guard back on Choi Hyunseong's bereaved family and pay compensation for his death.

Shin Yoon-a split her break time and delivered the death compensation directly to Choi Hyunseong's bereaved family.

And he directly knelt down and apologized for his unreasonable handling of the matter.

The news of her son's death must have shocked her.

But that's not enough, so you're asking for a penalty?

It wasn't something people would do.

The situation was settled once Shin Yoon-ah went out.

However, Yoona Shin's mood was very dirty.

She mocked the sacrifices of those who had never entered the battlefield risking their lives, those who only gave orders from behind, and the players who risked their lives to protect the people.

Yoona Shin was getting sick of their disgusting attitude.

Perhaps even if he had a little self-control, he might have blown away the heads of government officials who fluttered his snouts with an unconcerned face.

“It’s urgent! Bah, Blue Drake is dead!”

An absurd report came in from a military transport helicopter that was moving towards the scene.

"what? Did another ranker party hunt it?”

“Isn’t there a team that can afford that?”

While the rankers were panicking, an additional report came in.

“The player who was devoured by the Blue Drake is said to have survived for the rest of his life! After that, they attacked the internal organs from within and hunted the blue drake!”

The rankers were all bewildered by the absurd story that they had never even imagined.

The first thing I thought was whether that was realistically possible.

“What is that player’s name?”

Shin Yoona, who had never said a word before, opened her mouth.

“This is Choi Hyunseong, a player directly under the association!”

A bright smile formed on Shin Yoon-ah's lips upon hearing the report.

* * *

'It must have been horrendous to me.'Hyunseong sprayed water all over his body to remove the blood stains from his body.

His blood continued to drip.

‘Not a single wound.’

Hyunseong thought as he looked at his cleanly washed body.

His skin was clean without a single speck.

Her body, without any scars or scars, was like looking at the skin of a newborn baby.

With only his head and right arm left, it was hard to tell whether the memories that had survived like savagery were real or fantasy.

Hyunseong took blankets handed over to players who found him and wrapped them around his body.

Hyunseong was naked, not wearing a single tuft.

The only thing he was holding was a dragon blood sword.

“Can you lend me your smartphone? I’m going to call my family.”

He wanted to hear the voices of his family.

And I wanted to let you know that I was alive.

“I have to borrow it anyway.”

Shin Hye-sun smiled and held out her smartphone.

Hyunseong quickly called her mother.

-Hello?

The moment she heard her mother's voice over her smartphone speaker, she was about to cry and cry.

“Mom, this is Hyunseong.”

There was silence for a moment at Choi Hyunseong's words.

-Ton, Hyunseong, are you really you? My son Choi Hyunseong, right?

“Yes, my mother’s son Choi Hyunseong. That’s right. There seems to have been some misunderstanding. I was doing fine, but my name was on the list of the dead. I just found out and was surprised so I called. My smartphone was broken, but I was so busy that I couldn't even contact you. sorry. Is your sister okay? Is your father okay?”

- Black black.

Her mother's sobs were heard from the receiver.

“Why are you crying? Is it because I'm fine? The world is so chaotic these days. So it was just a small mistake.”

Even with Hyunseong's words, the mother's crying did not stop for a while.

- You're really fine, aren't you?

"Yes that's right. Because there was a mistake. During that time, I ate well and slept well.”

- Had a lot of trouble. And thank you, son, for being alive like this. thank you so much mom

“Because it was a mistake.”

Hyunseong said in a bright voice to her mother's sobbing voice.

I didn't want to tell my mother about that painful time.

If she finds out her truth, she will suffer more than her mother.

Because she will feel more pain than she has suffered.

She didn't want to tell.

- A person came from the Players Association. And he paid war compensation. The person who came as the representative apologized and said that it was all his fault, and he knelt down to his knees and apologized to me. It's not a mistake. My son, you almost died. It was really hard. You don't even have to hide it from your mother. You've worked hard, my son. And thank you so much for coming back alive.

"mom… … .”

Tears welled up in Hyunseong's eyes the moment she heard her mother's words.

I wanted to be comforted.I wanted someone to praise me for enduring that difficult time.

Hyunseong continued the call with her mother, shedding her tears.

The call is over.

My eyes stinged.

"here… … .”

Shin Hye-sun held out her handkerchief.

Shin Hye-sun's eyes were also red with tears.

The scene where a man and woman blush and give and receive her handkerchief could have been bizarrely misunderstood, but neither Hyunseong nor Shin Hye-sun were aware of that.

“Whew!”

After letting out a long sigh, Hyunseong struggled to suppress her emotions.

And he struggled to come up with a bright idea.

‘Let’s see how the Vampire Sword has changed.’

Now it was time to see the price of dying and resurrecting the Blue Drake Jetos.

Dragon Blood Sword - Unique Hero Rank - Bind Item

- Vampirizes the attacked target's blood to restore the user's HP and magical power.

-If you absorb the dragon's blood, your attack power will increase and your HP and magic recovery speed will increase significantly.

-Growth is possible if you continuously absorb the polyp's blood.

-The magic of Blue Drake Jetos and the magic of player Choi Hyunseong have been mixed to exceed the original limit.

- The option does not activate when used by someone other than the player Choi Hyunseong.

-You can summon the Dragon Blood Sword once a day at the will of the player Choi Hyunseong.

‘A Bind Item?’

A completely unexpected word was added.

The options have also increased tremendously.

The first option did not change.

But it was a million blessings that it didn't disappear.

Hearing the name of the Dragon Blood Sword, he was worried that the option from the days of the Vampire Sword might have been deleted.

The second option was to be a plus, not a minus.

The third and most important option.

Hemolysis sword growth was possible.

This story meant that the Dragon Blood Sword, the only hero grade, could grow into a Legendary grade item.

In addition, the last option eliminates the need to worry about losing or stealing the Dragon Blood Sword.

‘I don’t have to worry about weapons.’

In fact, the Vampire Sword option was very good.

There may be weapons with better and more versatile options in terms of attack, but the synergy effect of the Vampire Ball and the Book of Immortality was not a weapon that could match the Vampire Sword.

However, it is true that they later considered replacing it with a hero-grade weapon.

No matter how harmonious the weapons and skills were, the basic attack power was inevitably different.

Also, as we have already experienced once, the more we dealt with higher-grade monsters, the more the Vampire Sword did not exert its proper power.

You have to cut a wound to be able to suck blood.

However, it was not easy to damage hero-grade monsters with rare-grade weapons.

Even if I could have diarrhea, I had to put in more effort.

But now the problem has been completely resolved.

It was an advantage, not a disadvantage, that turned into an attribute item. Because I never thought of selling the dragon blood sword anyway.

‘You should also see the Breath of the Thunder Dragon.’

I was curious to see how the hero-grade skill, Breath of Lightning, obtained by defeating Jung Seong-woo changed.

Thunder Dragon's Breath - Unique Hero Rank

-Active skill book

- A powerful lightning shield is formed around the caster.

-All skills and actions are given the power of lightning.

- Temporarily paralyzes the body of enemies hit by the Thunder Dragon's breath.

- This skill has no cooldown.

-You can grow by absorbing lightning-type skills and items.

Only one added option.

However, it was not a big disappointment because it was a skill with many options.

I was just happy to hear that growth was possible.

Now all that was left was the achievement rewards.

First Level Destroyer - Rare

- All stats increased by 10.

First Level Destroyer - Heroic Rank

- All stats increased by 20.

'also.'

In the case of general grade achievements with the first title, all stats increased by 5 options were attached.

In the case of hero grade, all stats increased by 20, and in the case of legendary grade, all stats increased by 40.

As expected of doubling, the first achievement of the rare grade had an option to increase all stats by 10.

Who defeated the Blue Drake Zetos alone - Heroic Rank

- Magical stat increased by 4.

Although it was only 1 stat, the stat increase was larger than the trio, which was a rare grade for a hero grade monster.

‘Because it’s like a bonus.’

The really important rewards have already been received in advance.

‘By the way, when are you going to bring the clothes?’

It was quite embarrassing to see him wearing a blanket naked in front of a woman in broad daylight.

‘Is the confusion over now?’

After reporting on how he survived and took down Blue Drake, he roughly heard about the current situation.

The Second Cataclysm was now almost completely suppressed.

There will be no more fierce battles.

'want to go home.'

I wanted to see the faces of my family.
