The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

After Yoon Sae-ah left, Kim Hee-soo, unable to contain his anger, approached the security guard on his way to the gift shop.

"On the 22nd, there was an incident in front of the gift shop. Do you have the CCTV footage? Give it to me right now."

"I can't."

"I'm demanding it rightfully as the victim."

"Even so, unless an official complaint is filed, I can't release it..."

"Ha. Don't tell me you also think Sung JiHan is invincible?"

Kim Hee-soo's intense gaze made the security guard flinch.

He had stood guard on the night of the 22nd and witnessed with his own eyes Kim Hee-soo being mistreated by Sung JiHan.

The hatred and anger he saw in Kim Hee-soo at that moment were genuine.

"If I act recklessly, I'll be in big trouble..."

He was not a player as exceptional as Sung JiHan, just an ordinary citizen without any impressive background.

He was afraid that if he tried to assert his authority here, he would become the target of Sung JiHan's anger, which was already brewing.

"Ah, I understand."

Unable to resist Kim Hee-soo's coercion, the security guard played the CCTV footage from that day.

In the scene, his cousin was shown with a broken leg and all his eyebrows plucked out.

He himself was seen screaming and having his hair and eyebrows pulled out.

The painful memory from that day resurfaced.

"Ugh...!"

Kim Hee-soo struggled to suppress the urge to curl up, and continued to watch the footage.

He saw himself urgently fleeing with his cousin.

When the scene of Sung JiHan and her group, who had not gone far, conversing appeared, he narrowed his eyes.

"That's Yoon Sae-ah...."

Yoon Sae-ah, who usually maintained a bright and cheerful demeanor with a sunny smile.

But in the CCTV footage, Yoon Sae-ah had a deeply melancholic expression.

If the gift had gone well, she would never have made such a face.

"What were they talking about?"

"That..."

"I've already shown you the CCTV, is there something you're hiding?"

When Kim Hee-soo spoke in a cold tone, the security guard finally revealed what he had heard that day.

"They said it seemed like they failed and that they should focus on studying for the college entrance exam..."

"What, they failed?"

"Yes. But it seemed like they were trying to regain their composure later... I didn't hear the details after that."

"Ha. Hahaha. Hahahaha! Really? Is that true?"

"Yes."

"Hahahaha! Crazy bitch. Acting all high and mighty...!"

An Academy graduate studying for the college entrance exam!

Among the students at the Academy, that was the path chosen by those who were the least successful.

"It was all a bluff, Yoon Sae-ah."

Kim Hee-soo smiled with satisfaction.

How should he expose this fact?

Through an article in the Daehan Ilbo?

Or confront her face-to-face?

"Both!"

Kim Hee-soo returned to the classroom with light steps, looking around.

"Hey, where's Yoon Sae-ah?"

"She handed in her withdrawal form and went straight home."

"What?! Already?"

"It's just a quick withdrawal process."

Since many students who received gifts would drop out without completing the academy's curriculum, the withdrawal process at the academy was simple.

"Ugh... She ran away."

I wanted to laugh at my friends in front of her, but unfortunately, it didn't work out.

"But why did Yoon Sae-ah come looking for her?"

When a friend asked with a puzzled look, Kim Hee-soo considered telling them about what she had just found out, but decided to keep quiet.

"I can't explode the situation here when there's no one involved."

If she told these gossipmongers, it might be reported elsewhere before it reaches Daehan Ilbo.

"We should break the news in our newspaper first."

How can we ruin Yoon Sae-ah more provocatively?

Various ideas came to mind.

Kim Hee-soo smiled with delight.

It was the first smile she had made with a joyful heart since her hair and eyebrows were pulled out.

[ARABOJA on Sung JiHan, the participant in Korea's TOP 100 after 4 years]

[Is there a monster player who has never missed first place?? (Surprise) - Lekka News]

[Am I the only first place player?! 2nd place in TOP 100 odds?! What are Sung JiHan's chances of winning?]

After the news of Sung JiHan's participation in the TOP 100 promotion match was announced, various media outlets in Korea focused their attention on Sung JiHan.

TOP 100.

Since the promotion matches for each rank league are held only once a month, there were a large number of participants when considered on an annual basis.

In one year, there were 1,200 players in each league, just in the Bronze League.

But if you add up the promotion matches from the Bronze to Platinum League, it's 4,800 players.

And among them, there hasn't been a Korean player in the Battle.net league for the past 4 years.

Although the league itself maintained a mid-high level of skill, most promising players were scouted by scouts from various advanced countries and were often signed for large sums of money.

As a result, there were only a few mediocre players left in Korea who aimed for the top.

But in the midst of that, Sung JiHan suddenly appeared as if he had fallen from the sky.

With a shocking debut that broke the image of the Sword Palace, known as the symbol of the Sword King, he chewed up the Bronze League for a month and made it to the TOP 100 stage.

Of course, if you were Korean, you couldn't help but have high expectations for Sung JiHan.

-If you're Korean, please be afraid of Sung JiHan!!!!

-Yeah, it's Balan~~~

-If it wasn't for Balan, I would have definitely picked the patriotic pick.

-You guys are so naive,,, Balan sh*t~~ Only a 75% win rate~~ Of course, Sung JiHan has a 100% win rate~~ We have to support Sung JiHan~~

-There are so many Balan haters;; Do you not know that he achieved 75% in New York 1?

-Watch Sung JiHan's videos and come back. This person is not at the Bronze level. At least, he should be considered Gold level.

-Don't make a stupid assumption. If you're going to argue like that, Balan is Platinum levelㅋ

"Ugh, they're still fighting."

Yoon Sae-ah looked bored as she watched the fierce battle taking place on the Battle.net site.

Not only on Battle.net-related sites, but also on all Korean communities, the contents about Sung JiHan vs. Balan were flooding.

"Sae-ah, what are you looking at?"

"Oh, Uncle... this."

How can I explain this chaos in words?

Yoon Sae-ah showed the screen she had been watching just now.

"I'm convinced. If you don't pick Balan, you're just a dumbassㅋㅋ" (Comment: 5779)

If there are people who are afraid of losing and let go of their hands or wait for cash, I just want them to commit suicide lol. Making money is so easy lol.

Do you not understand the situation? The suckers are sharing money. In other words, money is being copied.

Middle class 100% vs top class 75%.

Where should I invest?

What are these losers who don't take risks? Why are they alive?

lol Especially in this situation, those who try to make money through stocks or whatever, don't act like idiots.

I'm so frustrated that I can't even feel the need to speak anymore, but I'll give you a warning.

If Sung JiHan or any other trash who picks players and pretends to be patriotic, pretends to have good analytical skills, they will be crushed.

Expensive? Lawyers? Baerun will take care of it.

I am invincible.

Baerun is a "god".

Here, take a look at this.

I'm going to certify that I won 1 billion GP from Baerun.

And in the screenshot that appears below the post, it shows that I bet 1 million GP to Baerun.

"Oh. He's a good person."

And Sung JiHan sincerely rejoiced at seeing that.

"...A good person? That guy?"

"Yeah. I'm going to take 1 billion from that person. No wonder my dividend rate went up a bit."

"It went up? Ah... Is it because of that recent highlight video of Baerun that went viral?"

Baerun's highlight video.

The public went wild for the highlights of the Grand Magician who chewed up the Bronze League.

Although Sung JiHan has shown an overwhelming presence so far.

Perhaps because in showing things through videos, magicians are more spectacular than warriors, the public's attention was already focused on Baerun.

And Sung JiHan was very grateful for that.

"Yeah. It almost quadrupled when including multiple kills."

"Wow... It went up that much?"

Yoon Sae-ah blinked her eyes and looked at Sung JiHan.

"Uncle... I also..."

"No. Don't do it."

"It's for sure!!!"

"I'll give you all the money I earn, so just don't gamble."

At Sung JiHan's firm words, Yoon Sae-ah pouted.

She understood that he didn't want to turn her into a gambling addict.

But if it's quadrupled...

If Sung JiHan is so confident, even if she invests 5 billion, it will be 25 billion!

Is she really not greedy for that?

"...Tsk. I also wanted to help Uncle."

Sung JiHan chuckled and patted Yoon Sae-ah's back.

"If you want to help me, don't think about money and focus on training."

"Ugh."

"Now, what's on the agenda for today?"

"300 push-ups. 300 sit-ups. 300 squats. 30km on the treadmill... sir..."

"So, how much have you done?"

"I haven't done it yet..."

"Alright, let's do it now."

Yoon Sae-ah took a deep breath and nodded her head.

If there was a method to obtain rare stats, the training method Sung JiHan taught was too simple and ignorant.

But still, there was no choice but to follow it.

"I'm going to train, Uncle. Turn off the computer."

"Okay."

With that, Yoon Sae-ah went out of the room.

Sung JiHan turned on the computer and entered the BattleTube.

He wanted to watch the highlight of Barron that was mentioned earlier.

He watched the video like that.

[ULTIMATE MAGE, Barron Williams!]

As the title calling him the Ultimate Mage suggests, the highlight video focused on Barron's merciless power.

However.

Even in that appearance, Sung JiHan laughed instead.

"As expected, he was a rookie from the start."

Indeed, the world's number one ranking from the previous life hadn't changed.

He boasted control that was as smooth as bronze.

Barron Williams.

He... was a natural-born Valkon.

* * *

[TOP 100 Bronze Promotion Match begins.]

The TOP 100 promotion match started according to the time of the world's number one league, the New York League 1.

August 25th, 6 PM in New York time.

With a time difference of 13 hours, it was August 26th, 7 AM in Korea.

At the same time, the BattleNet broadcast from the United States began on channel 0 worldwide.

Among the leagues of each country, the New York League, which ranked first in the power ranking, was given the privilege of broadcasting the matches worldwide.

Because of that, the American BattleNet commentators and casters, who were in a heightened state of excitement, enthusiastically carried out the broadcast.

=Alright. The TOP 100 promotion match of August is finally here! Just like usual, the Bronze League is starting the race!

=The promotion match of this Bronze League has gained explosive attention compared to usual! Christoph, why is that?

=Of course! It's because our American rising star, Barron Williams, is participating!

Barron! Barron! Barron! Barron! Barron!

As soon as Barron Williams' name was mentioned, the chanting of the fans mixed with madness spread like background music through the commentary.

The owner of an SSS-grade gift, player Barron Williams.

He already had a popularity surpassing top stars in the United States.

=However... even for Barron, there is a formidable competitor!

=That's right! A player from South Korea, Sung JiHan, whose league performance is much better than Barron's! He is a player who has never missed first place in a single game!

=Never missed first place in a single game! Christopher, is that even possible?

=I searched the data from 2010 until now! It's a record that not a single player has achieved! Of course, the level of the South Korean league... isn't that high, but it's still an amazing record!

Wooooo!

Barron's rival.

When praise for Sung JiHan came out, boos naturally followed.

The commentators were properly utilizing the advantage of being the first to broadcast the BattleNet TOP 100 promotion match, the world's number one league, in the United States.

It was a combination of impartial commentary and the straightforward emotions of American fans.

=So, the focus of today's Bronze promotion match is on the key player, Barron, and...

=It will be focused on player Sung.

=Alright. 5 seconds before the match starts! The match is starting!

[5... 4... 3... 2... 1...]

With the system's countdown as the last.

The war of the stars, gathering the world's top 100 Bronze players, began.
