Bronze League - Gangnam 1 Area Tutorial.

"Finally, today is the day."

Hoo. Hoo.

New Bronze player, Do Hyuk-gyu, took a deep breath to relax.

"It's going to go well. I'm lucky."

Do Hyuk-gyu looked at his status window.

Gift: Agility A (Grade A)

-Agility is 25.

-This ability ignores the league's ability limit.

Agility A.

Although it was a simple gift with a grade attached to the ability, it received high evaluations for its benefit of ignoring the league's ability limit.

"This changed my life."

Do Hyuk-gyu vividly remembered his 18th birthday.

The gift that only a few people could obtain when awakening as a player.

And he got it!

He didn't even know he would get it as an A grade.

"Good riddance to the lottery."

That day, in the neighborhood, a banner was hung saying, "Do Hyuk-gyu. Awakened with an A grade gift!"

Higher than someone from the neighborhood getting into Seoul National University!

And scouts from top domestic companies and guilds came to him with offers.

In the end, he was able to join the guild "Isung" under the Isung Group.

"It was enjoyable."

The guild provided him with an apartment in Gangnam.

When he commuted to the guild in the guild uniform, many people turned their heads to look at him.

Since receiving the gift after turning 18, his life had been stable.

"...I will somehow make it to the top 50."

Now the remaining task is to survive in this Bronze League Gangnam 1.

Do Hyuk-gyu tightly gripped his sword.

"I can do it, I can do it..."

Before the battle began, he looked around.

A threatening group of monsters.

And players from other guilds with company logos engraved on their armor caught his eye.

"That person is from LK. That person is from SG... That person is from Han Dae Guild. They're all formidable opponents."

Indeed, Gangnam 1 Area.

They were all from major companies.

Seeing the formidable opponents, sweat poured from Do Hyuk-gyu's hand holding the sword.

Flash.

At that moment, a player appeared near him.

"...What is this?"

A man wearing sweatpants and a short-sleeved shirt.

His hair seemed to have just woken up, and he didn't have a weapon in his hand.

Seeing his appearance, Do Hyuk-gyu immediately realized his identity.

"That... is a player who accidentally came to Gangnam 1!"

Originally, anyone wouldn't have thought of participating in this area.

But in the world of humans, mistakes happen from time to time.

Even in the organized Korean league.

It was common for awakened players who accidentally became level 2 in Gangnam 1 to appear like a drought breaking.

"Originally, I should wait for the player who came in by mistake to give up the game..."

Leaving the player who came in by mistake alone until they press the game surrender button.

That was the rule and etiquette of Gangnam 1 Area.

However...

"You're lucky!"

To be able to get one free kill point.

What use is such a rule or etiquette?

Do Hyuk-gyu's eyes gleamed ominously.

And.

[Tutorial begins.]

[Eliminate opponents until 50 players remain.]

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The powerful sound of the drum announcing the start echoed, and as the stiffened body loosened up.

"Now is the time!"

Tap-tap-!

Dohyukgyu quickly ran towards the man and drew his sword.

Before pressing surrender in the game, he must kill!

As the agility gift of A began to show its full potential, Dohyukgyu's body flew like an arrow.

And just before the tip of the sword touched the man's chest.

The sword didn't move.

"Uh...?"

Kwak!

In the blink of an eye, the blade of the sword was stuck between the man's index and middle fingers.

* * *

"I died like this last time."

Sung JiHan looked at the young man who stabbed him with a sword.

He was quite fast for level 2.

Perhaps his gift seemed to be agility-related.

No wonder he couldn't do anything and died last time.

"Eek. Eek...!"

Meanwhile, Dohyukgyu struggled to pull out the sword held by Sung JiHan.

But the sword still didn't budge.

"What kind of power is this...!"

His power level was 9, not a low number at all, but the blade held by only two fingers didn't shake at all.

"You should give me time to log out. You have no manners."

"You. You... what is this? How is it stronger than my agility A?"

"Agility A? How did you come to Gangnam 1 with such an ability?"

Sung JiHan looked at Dohyukgyu with surprised eyes.

Agility A.

Such an ancient artifact-like gift...

"Oh. This was the past."

While Sung JiHan was taken aback, Dohyukgyu made a helpless expression.

"What? My agility A is such an ability?"

"Well, I won't deny it."

Stat increase gift.

This gift was supposed to make him a bronze or early fox, but it became useless even in the gold league.

But such a guy is participating in Gangnam 1.

Truly going back in time, Sung JiHan suddenly released the power of his fingers.

Then Dohyukgyu, who was desperately trying to pull out the sword, fell back.

"Ugh...!"

Dohyukgyu quickly got up, but his face was covered in a sickly color.

He was trying to start by getting one kill, but what is this situation?

"I'm dead!"

Whoosh!

He swung the sword wildly as if to repay this humiliation.

But Sung JiHan easily avoided it with a bored expression.

The opponent was definitely faster than himself, who had a power level of 5.

"Well, what should I do? I can see the trajectory."

If you know the beginning and end of the sword, you can easily make up for this speed difference.

"Now I must finish it."

Sung JiHan slowly made up his mind to break the record.

Swish!

This time, Dohyukgyu's sword, which was tightly aimed, found its target.

"It's done!"

At that moment, it seemed like it definitely hit.

Thud!

Sung JiHan's hands moved quickly, catching the sword in reverse.

"Huh...?"

He was clearly holding the sword tightly in his hand.

In an instant, the sword was in the opponent's hand.

When Do HyukGyu opened his eyes in disbelief.

Thud!

Sung JiHan's sword pierced through Do HyukGyu's neck in one go.

"Well done with the sword."

Thud. Thud.

Do HyukGyu was about to say something, but...

His body turned completely white and disappeared.

He had suffered a fatal injury and was pronounced dead.

Sung JiHan silently watched the scene.

"It's a good world. I didn't even die."

The same goes for the sword Sung JiHan is holding.

The current BattleNet is a "game," after all.

No matter how much you take away the sword, complete plundering is impossible.

"I guess I'll just have to take the weapon and use it."

At that moment, the system window appeared.

[Tutorial: Achieved the first kill.]

[Received 100 achievement points.]

"Oh."

Perhaps it was because the achievement shop was added to the system window.

Unlike in the past, it showed what the achievement points were obtained for.

That's not all.

Sung JiHan's gaze turned to the groups of monsters in the Colosseum.

[Annihilation of the Urk Horde]

-The Urk Horde, which numbers in the thirties, is the most powerful group of monsters in the Colosseum. Subdue them and show the difference in strength.

[Reward: 500 achievement points]

Above the group of monsters, a quest window related to the achievement appeared again.

"Great."

Generally, killing monsters in the Colosseum map is considered inefficient.

Because each monster only gives 0.1 kill.

Especially when it comes to killing individual monsters that are separated, players hesitated because groups like the Urk Horde were too powerful.

But that's a story limited to ordinary players.

"You sons of Urk. I'll avenge humanity."

They give achievements for killing the Urk that degraded humanity?

Ah. I can't stand this.

Sung JiHan rushed towards the Urk Horde without hesitation.

"Ku, Leur?"

"Human. He's crazy!"

"Kill him! Human!"

Did they not expect him to charge at them unarmed?

The Urk Horde, equipped with their own gear, sneered.

"Save your arrows!"

"Kurur. Got it!"

Three out of the five leading Urks took out their axes and threw them at Sung JiHan.

Did they think that was enough for that reckless human?

Sung JiHan effortlessly caught the flying axes with one hand, as if playing catch.

"Kuruk...?"

The Urks were momentarily stunned by the absurd situation.

"This is how you throw an axe."

He lightly swung his hand.

Each hand axe flew like a gust of wind.

"Ku... Kuk...!"

The hand axe lodged directly into Urk's neck.

Surprisingly, those who were hit by the axes were the ones who had thrown the axes.

"Crazy human! This is madness!"

"Prepare yourselves!"

As they looked at the fallen Urks, the remaining ones quickly prepared for battle.

"It's too late."

Sung JiHan had already closed the distance.

Thud!

Every time his hand moved.

"Ki. Kik...!"

"Ah, I can't see!"

Urk's heads fell one by one.

An astonishingly accurate and clean trick.

Was this how a pack of wolves attacked a herd?

The strongest group in the Colosseum, the Urks, had no choice but to be helpless against Sung JiHan.

Chwak-!

When another Urk's head fell.

The handle of the axe that had decapitated the necks of ten comrades broke with a snap.

"It broke. It broke!"

"Kill him now! Kill him!"

The Urks, who had been hesitating, rushed towards Sung JiHan.

"Carry better weapons with you."

As if he had anticipated this, Sung JiHan kicked the ground.

Then, the weapons of the fallen Urks floated up into the air.

Among them, Sung JiHan grabbed a spear of suitable length and pierced the necks of the charging Urks one by one.

"......"

"Who's next?"

* * *

"It's... it's a monster."

"Run away. Run away!"

It didn't take long for the Urks to lose their formation.

With half of their comrades wiped out in an instant, it was natural for them to lose the will to fight. But it was also because they felt a primal fear in the presence of Sung JiHan, a fighting machine.

Sssik.

A smile spread across Sung JiHan's face.

The decision of the Urks was an action that should never be taken in front of him.

Sung JiHan picked up his weapon and began to pursue them.

The Urks scattered in all directions, but Sung JiHan had a plan for this pursuit.

In an instant, he assessed the number of opponents fleeing in each direction.

'There's the enemy.'

Sung JiHan subdued the Urk on the enemy's side by throwing his weapon.

Whizz!

The axe and spear flew in an arc and lodged directly into the heads of two Urks.

"Kraaak!"

"Kuk... Kuk..."

Sung JiHan, as if confirming that there was no need for further killing, pursued the remaining enemy in one direction.

And now, all that was left was a one-sided massacre.

"Monster..."

After the last words of the thirtieth Urk.

["Elimination of the Urk Horde" quest cleared.]

[Obtained 500 achievement points.]

As the quest was cleared, achievement points came in.

And along with this.

[Level up.]

A level up message appeared before his eyes.
