The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

* * *

[TOP 100 Silver Promotion Battle Begins.]

[A special map with balanced adjustments, 'Assaulted Conqueror's Mausoleum' has been assigned.]

[The Undead Alliance, which seeks equality for all beings, aims for the conqueror's soul. Until the conqueror awakens, defend against the assault of the Undead King!]

The extraterrestrial Undead Alliance, the Undead King.

They held more than half of the shares in the destruction of Earth.

"If the World Tree Union was responsible for making Earth lose in the Space League... the Undead King was in charge of the cleanup."

On planets with low rankings in the Space League, more dungeons are generated.

The World Tree Union overwhelmingly crushed Earth in the league matches.

As a result, undead legions holding flags with patterns of three spears piercing a golden crown poured out from the dungeons.

"At first, it was easy."

The first undead legion that appeared was just zombies or skeletons.

They were easily manageable with modern firepower.

However.

After being repelled a few times, the subsequent undead legions were completely different.

"The intangible enemy, ghosts, couldn't receive any help from the army."

The reason why North Korea has currently collapsed is ultimately because of the intangible monsters.

Of course, in the case of North Korea, it was due to the national suppression of player development and it collapsed helplessly.

Other countries tried to deal with the intangible monsters by increasing the power of wizards or support players.

In the beginning, they achieved some results.

"But numbers didn't matter."

Once a dungeon portal was created, undead creatures poured out without rest.

At first, not only undead creatures but also various types of monsters came out of the dungeon portals.

But at some point, only the ghost legions holding the Undead King's flag persistently emerged.

"In our country too, the Undead King's flag was planted all over the battlefield..."

When a dungeon is created, that country is done for.

Even in the current tutorial season, there is still this perception.

The one who firmly established this perception was none other than the ghost legions of the Undead King.

"If the opponent is the Undead King, the game won't be easy."

Summoned Sung JiHan looked around.

The defense he had to take was the northern region.

"It's not inside the mausoleum, it's outside."

Sturdy walls built in all four directions surrounding the mausoleum.

The place where Sung JiHan stood was the northern wall zone.

The escort soldiers made of earth, which he had seen in the previous dungeon map, were deployed in various places.

"Player 'Sung JiHan' and 9 lower-ranked players will defend the north, while the remaining 90 players will defend the south."

"The side that breaks through the door first will lose and be ranked the lowest."

Party members from the north gate were summoned one by one.

Just like the system message, only nine members were summoned and no additional personnel were deployed.

It was clear that they were trying to suppress the balance destroyer, Sung JiHan.

["Achievement Cleared: 'Becoming the Target of Balance Adjustment (1).'"]

["Obtained 30,000 achievement points."]

"I didn't know there was an achievement like this."

After Sung JiHan checked the achievement clear message, he looked at his teammates.

"Ah... on the same team as Sung JiHan..."

"Haah... we lost..."

The players from various countries who were summoned to this world looked at Sung JiHan, unable to hide their disappointment.

Regardless of whether they win or lose, playing in the TOP 100 games alone was enough to promote them.

But still, since they were playing the game anyway, they wanted to be on the winning side rather than the losing side.

"I'm... ranked below 90th place? That can't be true..."

And on top of that, being summoned here was practically proof that they were ranked below 90th place according to the system's standards.

There was no reason to feel good about it.

However...

The last person to be summoned.

"Oh, JiHan! Wow! We're on the same side!"

Supporter Sophia, upon seeing Sung JiHan, jumped up and down with joy.

"Sophia? How did you end up here...?"

Sung JiHan blinked his eyes.

She wasn't supposed to come here.

In response to his question, Sophia smiled brightly.

"Oh. I didn't allocate my stat points."

"Is it because of the extraterrestrial relic?"

When you hold it and pray, the extraterrestrial relic increases your divine power.

Sophia, who was from the future, told him a story related to it.

Sung JiHan had a rough idea of why she didn't allocate her stat points.

"Aren't you curious why?"

As she approached him and her eyes sparkled, she asked the question he wanted to hear.

"I'm curious."

"Heh. Of course you are. You're curious, right? Then if you buy me a meal, I'll tell you!"

"I don't have time to go to the US."

"I'll go to Korea! It's perfect to rest during the break after the promotion match!"

...She wants to come to Korea just to get a meal?

Sung JiHan was dumbfounded.

"When did she become interested in me again?"

Even when he was in American First in his previous life, Sophia showed interest in Sung JiHan.

At that time, Sung JiHan was too busy and pretended not to notice, but Sophia was quite serious.

"At least I had a rough idea back then..."

He saved her multiple times in the game and in reality.

He became a reliable shield for her, blocking all the enemies and supporting her as a supporter.

Although unintentional, Sung JiHan had many decisive moments while synchronizing with Sophia as his teammate.

That's why, besides Sophia, there were many supporters and mages in American First who had romantic feelings for him.

If it weren't for Sung JiHan, there would have been more than dozens of people who actually fought.

"But why is she acting like this now?"

Sung JiHan furrowed his brows, unable to understand as he looked at Sophia waiting for his answer.

This question was a mystery that wouldn't be solved until he found out that she was a severe warrior maniac.

And.

The scene of Sophia approaching Sung JiHan was being broadcasted live worldwide from beginning to end.

***

=What... the... hell...

When Sophia, who belonged to the Sung JiHan team, approached him and their conversation was broadcasted, Christoph, the commentator, stumbled over his words.

=Christoph! It seems like Sophia is very interested in Sung! Is she like that at home too?

Of course she is.

Because Sophia was Christoph's younger sister.

=Ah... Although Sophia admired Warriors...

=Hahaha. It's the first time I've seen Christoph the commentator so flustered!

=Caster-nim? Imagine if your sister, who always prays faithfully at home, suddenly meets a man and goes abroad! How should I react?!

You should support your sister's youth!

=Oh. Shh... No, if you're going to eavesdrop, you should do it secretly. Why is it being broadcasted live like this...

=Because she's so infatuated!

=Caster-nim, I envy you for not having a sister like that!

=If I had a sister like Sophia, it would be an honor for me!

Christoph glanced at the silent caster and let out a deep sigh.

Yeah.

Sung JiHan may be happy with it, but what will happen if this is revealed on TOP 100 broadcast!

The number of viewers alone is over 1 billion!

=Haha. I would like to see Christoph the commentator more flustered, but now we should move the screen towards the south. Ah. The atmosphere here is more serious than I thought, isn't it?

But fortunately for Christoph, the focus of the broadcast shifted from the north where Sung JiHan was located to the south.

There are probably 90 players there...

=Yes... I can feel the tense atmosphere from Baron and Wang Lin of China!

=Oh oh oh. I see. I see! They are raising their voices!

The attention was drawn to the confrontation between the two players representing the United States and China.

"Baron."

The one who started the argument was Wang Lin from China.

"How do you feel?"

"...What are you talking about?"

"I'm the number one in odds against me. I'm curious how it feels to be dethroned."

The Asian man in his early 40s with a long beard approached Baron and smirked.

Wang Lin, the Heavenly Horse of China.

Except for Sung JiHan, he was the standout player among the silver-ranked warriors.

"Did you come to start a fight?"

"No. I just came to show the difference."

The lowest odds.

In the end, it was a measure of who the public thought would win this TOP 100 match.

And ultimately, the player with the lowest odds was Wang Lin from China, not Baron from the United States.

He stroked his beard and mocked Baron.

"If only you hadn't conceded back then. If I had known that your skills, with the ridiculous gift of 'two status windows,' were so pathetic..."

"Get lost, you bastard."

"Because you refused to take All-Stat 1 at that time and committed suicide. Sung JiHan and Mihael swallowed their regret. Sung JiHan did throw a party for a few days, but it wasn't as good an opportunity as back then."

"Are you complaining now because you missed All-Stat 1?"

"That's true, but I have something to say."

Wang Lin covered his mouth, from which English naturally flowed.

"I'm not pleased with the fact that English is coming out of my mouth instead of Chinese in this situation."

"Why are you blaming me for that? It's because your league ranking is falling behind."

The broadcast, which was being aired worldwide like the Top 100 Promotion Match.

The country that achieved first place in the global league power rankings held the broadcasting rights.

And these broadcasting rights encompassed the realm of language as well, automatically using English, the language of the United States, in international competitions.

This was an absolute rule that encompassed both Sung JiHan, a Korean, and Wang Lin, a Chinese.

"Hehe. That's why I came to talk. The New York League won't be around for long, they'll give first place to the Beijing League."

"Hah. Just talk about your performance. Are you speaking English right now?"

"Hmph. I'm saying it won't take long. Soon, from your mouth... Yes. Cantonese will come out."

"Cantonese? Where is that? Can you speak so I can understand?"

The players of the two superpowers, the United States and China, were engaged in a fierce battle, and the commentators were broadcasting without any bias.

=Christoph! Are we going to be cut off?

=Hahaha. The Beijing League may be the second-ranked league in the world, but there is still a big difference in power rankings compared to the New York League. There won't be any job loss!

=Still, Balan! I hope you do your best. Although the Silver Warrior Wang Lin is certainly a strong player among the Silvers... Balan shouldn't be underestimated!

Wang Lin.

He was undoubtedly a powerful player.

As a Chinese Silver Warrior with SSS-grade gift, Heavenly Demon Restraint, he single-handedly tore apart the Bronze Top 100 Promotion Match held two months ago.

However.

The American commentators were all convinced that 'My State Window 2' was stronger than 'Heavenly Demon Restraint'.

=That's right! My State Window 2! It's a legendary gift! Balan has the potential to become a superstar. He just wandered for a moment, just a moment! He will show us an amazing performance and make a comeback!

=I hope that happens in this game.

=Since Sung JiHan, the strongest competitor, received a balance patch to the north, it's Balan's turn this time!

In this way, from the perspective of the South, where the players' numbers were overwhelmingly lacking and in despair.

Dong- dong- dong-!

The sound of war spread widely on the battlefield.

-Bring down the king.

A voice could be heard.

In accordance with Channel 0's broadcast, a gloomy voice that had been reversed into English.

-Break the ranks.

-All things are equal.

Kill the King.

As the extraterrestrial undead legion advanced.

Skeletons, zombies, and everything else.

Everyone opened their mouths and shouted that gloomy voice.

-Bring down the conqueror.

-Give fair death to all people.

-Kill the King.

That eerie voice was not that of the undead, but rather, it was like a revolutionary army.
