Level 1 Player

Japan ended the Second Cataclysm relatively quickly.

Thanks to that, I had more room than other countries.

Japan continued lobbying South Korean politicians after unsuccessful attempts to spoon spoons into North Korea.

It was to gain even a little bit of interest in the North Korean region.

In the North Korean region, there were places that needed to be developed.

Entrepreneurs from other countries had no choice but to be greedy.

After all, it is unreasonable to develop the entire North Korean region using only South Korean companies.

Naturally, they had no choice but to collaborate or subcontract with foreign companies.

Japanese companies were also looking for that opportunity.

The problem was Korea's anti-Japanese sentiment.

A delicious dinner is unfolding in front of you, but you are only getting your taste buds.

To overcome this situation, Japan was busy lobbying Korean politicians at the national level rather than the corporate level.

Then I got some unexpected information.

“Is there a high probability that Jung Seong-woo’s words are true?”

Japan Dimensional Gate Management Minister Tanaka asked his aide as he read the report that had just arrived.

“Yes, Kaneko reported that Choi Hyunseong killed Takahashi.”

“Then there is a high probability that Jung Sung-woo was also killed by Choi Hyunseong.”

“I think it is almost certain.”

“A player who has just awakened from breaking the rules of level 20 and has been awake for over a year has beaten a ranked player? Not once, but twice?”

It was a growth rate that surpassed common sense even if it was not restricted by the 20-level rule.

The reason why the Japanese dimensional gate management department became interested in Choi Hyunseong, a player from a foreign country, not even from their own country, was because of Seongwoo Jung, who was the sub-guild master of the Seowoo Guild.

When Jung Sung-woo's criminal activities were revealed, he sought asylum in the Japanese dimensional gate management department through the giant Japanese guild he was familiar with.

It was more of an escape for criminals than asylum, but the Japanese dimensional gate management judged it positively.

Because he thought it was an opportunity to get one ranker for free.

Of course, the conditions weren't very good either.

Sungwoo Jung is a criminal.

If he officially accepts his asylum application, he will be condemned by the international community.

The Japanese dimensional gate management department was secretly accepting Jeong Seong-woo as a native of the country and using it as an unofficial agent working in the shadows.

Then, suddenly, Jung Sung-woo said something strange.

He claimed to know how to break the 20-level rule.

The Japanese dimensional gate administration promised that if that was true, he would not only give him a new player registration card after plastic surgery, but also register him as a ranker who could officially work in Japan.

In response, Jeong Seong-woo demanded a huge amount of money that could be used officially and the full support of the guild he would create.

The Japanese dimensional gate management department accepted all of them.

If he could figure out a way to break the 20-level rule, it was more than enough to reward him.

After the negotiations were completed, Jung Sung-woo asked to make a counterfeit player registration card that could be used in Korea.It wasn't a difficult request at all.

The Japanese dimensional gate management department directly handed over a forged player registration card to Jung Sung-woo.

And he used the ranker Takahashi, who was active in the shadows, to monitor Jung Sung-woo.

However, Jung Sung-woo, who entered the dungeon with a forged ID, suddenly disappeared.

At first, I thought that Jung Seong-woo had eluded Takahashi's surveillance.

It was because he thought that there was no way that the ranker, Jeong Seong-woo, would disappear in the low-level dungeon.

But it wasn't.

It was true that Jung Sung-woo disappeared in a low-level dungeon.

After that, Takahashi and Kaneko went directly into the dungeon to investigate the cause of Jung Sung-woo's disappearance.

However, too much time had passed, and the traces of other players and monsters were mixed, so it was impossible to investigate.

The Japanese Dimensional Gate Management Department has launched an extensive investigation.

He couldn't just sit still since he was told it was breaking the rules of the 20th level.

The person caught in the investigation was Choi Hyunseong.

The Japanese dimensional gate management department determined that Choi Hyunseong was indirectly related to Jung Sung-woo's disappearance.

This is because Choi Hyunseong decided that it was physically impossible to kill Jung Sung-woo.

It was reasonable to think that things went wrong because Jung Sung-woo was aiming for Choi Hyunseong.

The Japanese Dimensional Gate Management Department speculated that the Korean Players Association, to which Choi Hyunseong belongs, may have come forward.

After that, the Japanese dimensional gate management department continued to monitor Choi Hyunseong.

But he couldn't get his hands on it easily.

Choi Hyunseong is a direct member of the Korea Players Association.

If there was a mistake, there was a high risk of international disputes.

Then the second cataclysm occurred.

And Choi Hyunseong left for North Korea.

After a long wait, I finally got my chance.

Takahashi and Kaneko were dispatched and work began.

Of course I thought it would work.

However, reports came in that Takahashi was dead to Choi Hyunseong.

It was shocking news for the Japanese dimensional gate management department.

“The breaking of the 20-level law wasn’t over.”

At the murmur of Japanese Dimensional Gate Management Minister Tanaka Tanaka, the aide quickly opened his mouth.

“We believe that the probability of possessing a unique skill is more than 99%.”

“So, the Korean Players Association must have signed the contract because they were anxious. What the hell kind of unique skill do you have that allows you to grow so quickly because it’s not enough to ignore the 20th level rule?”

Japan's Minister of Dimensional Gate Management Tanaka's expression hardened.

This was not normal.

Figuring out how to break the 20-level rule was no longer important.

The most important thing was why Choi Hyunseong became strong so quickly.

Only a year after awakening, he became strong enough to defeat the rankers.What if Choi Hyunseong continues to grow at a fast pace?

It was no wonder he won the number one spot in the world rankings.

And what if you could share with other players how to break the 20th level rule and how to grow faster?

Korean players will grow explosively.

Does South Korea recovering the North Korean region become stronger even in the player power?

It was never a good thing for Japan.

and… … .

“If possible, it would be better to steal it.”

"Yes?"

At Minister Tanaka's words, the aide put on a puzzled expression.

“Nothing. How many secret agents can you mobilize right now?”

“Five people.”

“Let them all go to North Korea.”

"Yes?"

“Did you not hear me?”

"no. We will implement it immediately. But is the goal to be achieved the same as before?”

“It’s the same. But let me add one more thing. If mission success is judged impossible, give orders to kill Choi Hyunseong no matter what.”

"all right!"

After the aide left, a soft smile appeared on Minister Tanaka's lips.

‘ Choi Hyunseong doesn’t trust the Korean government.’

If you knew Choi Hyunseong's true talent, the Korean government could not have left it like this.

Gold or jade, it will be tightly wrapped around you.

‘Stupid bastards.’

Thanks to that, the opportunity came to me.

Choi Hyunseong's secrets will be taken away.

What if the secret is useless to other players?

Kill Choi Hyunseong and that's it.

It is because it is not beneficial to himself or his country that he grows up and rises to the strongest position.

‘Now is the only chance.’

If Choi Hyunseong's worth is known, there is no such opportunity.

Choi Hyunseong's golden opportunity came when he was in North Korea, where there was no security.

* * *

Hyunseong continued to tour the dungeon with Lucia.

His achievements grew rapidly.

As much as that, the stat difference between Hyunseong and Lucia gradually decreased.

Hyunseong's skill proficiency was also growing rapidly.

If he had simply hunted monsters, he would not have grown so quickly.

However, the match against Lucia was of great help.

Fragile!

A jet-black spark erupted from the magic missile.

"Ah!"

Hyunseong let out a sigh.

Again it was a failure.

So close.

“If I had been a little more focused, I would have succeeded.”

“There is no need to be too sad. The proficiency level is rising fast enough even now.”

“So, when do you use it in practice?”

Currently, Hyunseong's goal was to make the appearance of the skill with and without the Black Dragon's breath the same.

But it wasn't easy.

This is because the breath of the Black Lightning Dragon, which has strong destructive power, eats up the existing skills over and over again.

“You don't need to be in too much of a hurry. There is still plenty of time.”

“I know.”

I understand in my head.

But my heart kept getting impatient.

This is because the existence of the player who attacked him continued to haunt him.

“Now it’s time for Dalian.”

At Lucia's words, Hyunseong nodded and got up from his seat and drew the dragon blood sword.

Lucia also grabbed her sword and shield and got up from her seat.

Lucia's appearance was quite different from before.

He looked as young as a hundred-year-old old woman in his early forties.

His white hair turned into shiny platinum feet, and the age spots and wrinkles that covered his face were greatly reduced.

“I will go first.”

At Hyunseong's words, Lucia nodded her head.

percussion!

Hyunseong rushed in first.

Break! Break!

Hyunseong's dragon blood sword attacked her Lucia over and over again.

However, it was impossible to break through Lucia's defense, which was based on a large shield that could cover half of her body.

It felt like swinging a sword against a wall.

Lucia's shield tassel handling her shield was close to art.

Lucia didn't just use her shield as a tool for defense.

The moment he caught Hyunseong's gap, the sharply striking shield was like a blunt weapon.

However, he could not only guard the shield.

This is because the sword strikes that stabbed in the middle were extremely sharp.“Stop it now. Time to move on to the next dungeon.”

At Lucia's words, Hyunseong stopped the attack.

“Are my skills right?”

Lucia says that she has grown, but Hyunseong saw it as no different from the first time.

“The timing of piercing the gap is sharper than before. Even when dodging an attack, a lot of useless movements disappeared. He honestly didn't expect he would grow up so quickly. I heard a lot of genius voices when I was younger too, but I didn’t improve as quickly as Hyunseong.”

“Um, I also want to learn shielding properly… … .”

Lucia's shield technique was so cool that everyone who saw it fell in love at first sight.

“ It doesn't suit Hyunseong. I'm defensive, but Hyunseong is aggressive. Patience is key to using shield skills as your main skill. But when Hyunseong sees an opportunity, doesn't he just hit and go out and attack? In that case, the shield would rather get in the way.”

“I’m trying to be patient, but that doesn’t work.”

“That’s the tendency. And to be honest, Mr. Hyunseong with only sword is more difficult to deal with than Mr. Hyunseong with shield and sword. The left defense will suffice with the metal guard you have now.”

"okay."

At Lucia's words, Hyunseong finally nodded his head.

Hyunseong's armament has changed a lot.

Before, he was heavily armored and hunted with iron armor, like other novices.

Because he thought safety was the number one priority.

However, he took Lucia's advice and replaced his armor with leather armor that emphasized mobility.

He also gave up his shield and put a metal guard on his left arm.

Thanks to that, he became unable to use shield-related skills, but since it was a low-level skill anyway, there was no big problem.

“Then I will go back.”

At Lucia's words, Hyunseong smiled and bowed his head.

“I’ll see you in a little while, sir.”

“I am not a teacher.”

Wrath!

With a short word, Lucia's figure disappeared into the air.

‘Now, shall we go to the next dungeon soon?’

Hyunseong moved towards the dungeon exit.

About halfway through the dungeon.

'uh?'

The wild instinct skill was activated.

With him, Hyunseong started to feel the magic of other players in the dungeon where he should be alone.

'what?'

Hyunseong stopped walking.

‘Not one.’

There were a total of two places where the magic was felt.

“You are quick-witted.”

Japanese was heard from the front.

“Are you from Japan?”

bum bum.

A man who looked to be in his mid-50s from the front appeared.

"right. You'd better give up your resistance and just follow me."

“Why are you taking me with you?”

“I don't have to tell you that. just decide whether or not Will you resist or give up?”

As soon as the words were finished, the magic emanating from the man began to grow stronger.

The strength of the magical power that pressed Hyunseong was strong enough to be felt even without the wild instinct skill.

It was an outright threat.

‘Are you on the same team with the assassin who came before?’

The problem was that there were two enemies, not one.

Now, only one has revealed its presence, but the other one was hiding in the dark and aiming for Hyunseong.

'If the two of you fight at once, it's impossible to do it alone. Shall I call you Lucia? No, not yet.’

The opponent appeared alone.

The other one didn't show up often, and it didn't blatantly exude magical power.

Without the Feral Instinct skill, Hyunseong would still have thought that there was only one enemy.

‘Are you going to deal with me alone?’

Seeing the face of the confident opponent, there was a high probability of that.

‘Let’s try it.’

Hyunseong pointed his dragon blood sword at his man.

“Well, you mean to resist. I meant it in good faith.”

With those words, the man raised his hand to the house.

Where have you seen it a lot?

This is the so-called foot posture that appeared frequently in Japanese comics and anime.

‘Did you formally learn the art of footwork?’

Hyunseong raised his magic with a puzzled expression.

‘The Breath of the Black Dragon Dragon.’

Fragile!

A jet-black lightning bolt flew towards the man.

There was no need to deal with enemies that were far away.

Shoo!

At that moment, the face of the opponent disappeared.

‘Space movement skill.’

Fragile!

Hyunseong, who sensed the flow of his magical power, rotated his body using the Black Lightning Dragon's breath as his power.

The man, who appeared from the air, quickly retreated back to avoid the Black Lightning Dragon's breath.

Aww!The surrounding area of ​​Hyunseong was devastated with a loud explosion.

‘You have to save your stamina and magic.’

Hyunseong unlocked Black Dragon's Breath.

percussion!

At that moment, the man ran towards Hyunseong.

Hyunseong used the Black Lightning Dragon's Breath skill again.

Fragile!

The man who was running towards Hyunseong avoided the body to the left and escaped the breath of the Black Dragon.

In that short time to avoid the black dragon's breath, the man's sword had already been pulled out of the shed and flew towards Hyunseong's left arm.

Break!

Hyunseong twisted and blocked the way with his dragon blood sword.

"Ohh!"

The man made an interesting expression.

“Are you very quick to react? The items look pretty good too. But how long can you last?”

The man's tao has attacked Hyunseong at an incredibly fast pace.

Break! Break!

The dragon blood sword and the sword collided, and sparks began to burst.

'fast.'

The man's tao was quick and sophisticated.

There wasn't enough power either.

It wasn't just that it was fast.

The movement was also incredibly fast.

Fragile!

Hyunseong once again did all he could to use the Black Dragon's Breath.

He thought that there would be no room to escape as the distance was so close.

Shoo!

However, the moment the Black Lightning Dragon's Breath was activated, the opponent used his space movement skill to dodge his body.

'what?'

Dodge the Black Lightning Dragon's breath in succession.

'It's no coincidence.'

If Hyunseong wasn't mistaken, the man certainly moved before Black Dragon's breath was triggered.

As a test, Hyunseong once again used Black Dragon's Breath.

Fragile!

Whik!

Also the same.

The man spread the distance in advance even before the skill was created.

‘Do you have any skills like wild instinct?’

The man was reading Hyunseong's magic flow.

* * *

“Isn’t that guy really the one who only woke up a year ago?”

Sato nodded her head at Suzuki's question.

"Are you sure. Until a year ago, he was level 1.”

“Hey, what the hell did you use?”

“I don’t know. We're here to find out."

“I hope other players can do it too.”

Suzuki nodded her head as if the other agents agreed with Suzuki's murmuring.

The secret to allowing a level 1 player to grow to a level equal to that of a ranker in one year.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't greedy.

“But I definitely don’t think I’m at the ranker level yet. You're also embarrassed by Sasaki. Why did Takahashi get hurt by a guy like that?”

Sato shook his head at Suzuki's words.

“It’s because it’s not a good match. The jet-black thunderbolt, which he uses as his main force, has a fast activation speed and can be freely adjusted in its range. If your opponent was you, Suzuki, not Sasaki, you would have struggled quite a bit. With that level of skill, Takahashi deserves to be beaten.”

“What nonsense is that? If I had, he wouldn't have been alive yet."

At Suzuki's words, Sato shook her head as if understanding.

Sudden dispatch order.

It wasn't very pleasant for the secret agents.

In addition, the opponent is a newbie who awakened just a year ago.

Although tied to a contract and working as a secret agent in the shadows, the agents considered themselves to be rankers.

But, do they work together against a kid who has only been awakened for a year?

My pride didn't allow it.

So when Sasaki, the most proud of the secret agents, set out to handle it alone, no one stopped him.

Rather, they laughed at the superiors who mobilized all of them in this kind of work.

I got information that Takahashi had been hit, but I didn't take it too seriously.

Takahashi was a player whose main focus was information gathering and assassination.

He was, of course, the lowest of the secret agents in his actual combat abilities.

Secret agents watched the showdown between Choi Hyunseong and Sasaki as if they were watching a fun sporting match.

As time passed, Sasaki gradually began to gain the upper hand.

The secret agents looked like they would then and waited for the match to be decided.

* * *

A fierce battle continued.

Left!

Sasaki's sword bent like a snake and passed through Hyunseong's shoulder.

Hyunseong's sword barely touched Sasaki's wrist.

Sasaki read and reacted to Hyunseong's magical movement like a ghost.

Thanks to that, he could hardly do damage with his skill.

Of course, that was also the case with Hyunseong.

It is difficult to inflict damage by activating each other's skills.

In the end, the match had to be decided by hand-to-hand combat.

However, Hyunseong was behind Sasaki not only in stats essential for close combat such as strength and agility, but also in his ability to handle weapons.

At every moment of crisis, he activated the Black Lightning Dragon's breath and held on, but his stamina and magical power were on the verge of being exhausted.

On the other hand, the opponent was very sane.

‘It’s still a long way off.’

I thought I had grown a lot through the match with Lucia.

But compared to Sasaki, he still lacked a lot.

‘I should have practiced harder.’

Hyunseong blamed herself.

But Sasaki, who was fighting Hyunseong, had a different idea.

'What a madman.'

On the surface, it seems that he is gaining the upper hand, but now Sasaki is feeling a strong sense of crisis that a cold sweat is running down his back.

Hyunseong's skills grew explosively within a short period of time under Lucia's training.

In particular, his aggressive attack, protecting only his head and heart, was enough to embarrass Sasaki.

Hyunseong established his fighting style through a match against Lucia.

And the fighting style that was established in that way was aggressive enough to transcend common sense.

Beyond the feeling of giving flesh and taking bones, you die or you die, an attacking one-way fighting method.

Sasaki couldn't help but be confused.

Although he has the title of a secret agent working in the dark, Sasaki and other agents are not the assassins in the novel.

There was a lust for show, a lust for fame, and a lust for money.

He wasn't loyal enough to throw his life away like a super dog in accordance with the orders of his superiors.

They became secret agents because they were convinced that following the Dimensional Gate Administration's proposal would benefit themselves.

Or, there were cases where it was forced to follow for personal reasons.

For such Sasaki, an enemy of a type like Hyunseong was the most difficult opponent.

Fortunately, Hyunseong's stats and swordsmanship skills were inferior to his own.

opponent is tired.

His stamina and mana were on the verge of exhaustion.

Break!

The sword and the sword collided.

Go go go go!

With Sasaki's sword, he took Hyunseong's sword and pressed it down, riding the blade down.

A satisfied smile formed on Sasaki's lips.

'Now it's over.'

The sword that descended on the blade flew toward Hyunseong's shoulder.

'Dangerous.'

I couldn't stop it.

Even if he tried to counterattack, it was impossible because of the sword he pushed.

To make matters worse, his stamina and magical power had been exposed, so he couldn't activate Black Lightning Dragon's Breath any more.

'Die.'

The moment Sasaki's sword is about to cut off Hyunseong's shoulders and chest.

-Passive Skill Survival Instinct - Heroic rating is triggered.

A survival instinct skill that satisfies the activation conditions was activated.

Break!

Hyunseong's sword deflected Sasaki's sword with tremendous force.

Scratch!

Then he cut Sasaki's head off with a single sword.

"ha! ha!"

A harsh breath escaped Hyunseong's mouth.

Although the stats were temporarily increased through the survival instinct, the consumed stamina and magic did not return.

'This is lost.'

If the survival instinct skill had not been activated, the victim would have been Hyunseong.

Sasaki did not react properly to Hyunseong's sudden increase in power and speed.

And he paid the price for it with his life.

Hyunseong looked at the place where the magic was felt without breaking the boundaries.

Aaaaah!

Four players appeared from the empty vacant lot.

‘Wasn’t there one?’

The magic that I felt as a wild instinct skill was a lump.

But there was not one enemy.

‘There was such a blind spot.’

The Feral Instinct skill only felt the presence of magical power, but the ability to distinguish it in detail fell.

“Hey, Sasaki is going to die. It’s really ridiculous.”

Hyunseong swallowed dry saliva at the words of a woman who appeared to be in her mid-40s.

“That’s how good that guy was. There could have been another hidden one.”

A man in his early fifties received the woman's words.

All were in Japanese.

“Well, I don’t think that one will last very long. Until then, stop him from escaping.”

As soon as the man finished speaking, the other three players all surrounded Hyunseong.

They didn't attack first.

They seemed to grasp the weakness of Hyunseong's survival instinct skill.

short startup time.He seemed to think that he just had to endure until that time.

But that was their mistake.

Wrath!

A bright halo and four players appeared.

Lucia with a familiar face and three newly hired mercenaries.

The mercenaries, including Lucia, immediately took a fighting stance as if they had grasped the situation.

“What are these guys?”

“Where did you suddenly appear?”

“You didn’t sense magic at all?”

Looking at the mercenaries Hyunseong had hired, the enemies began to panic.

“The content of the request is the capture of the enemy. If you think it will be difficult to subdue, you can kill it.”

At Hyunseong's words, the mercenaries nodded their heads.

percussion!

The mercenaries who set their respective targets kicked off the ground in unison and ran towards the enemy.

Aww!

Suzuki's body, which was hit by Lucia's shield attack, was bounced off powerlessly.

“Gagging!”

Blood gushed out of Suzuki's mouth, which had collided with the dungeon wall.

He felt the pain as if his entire body had been shaken.

It was the result that came out in less than 10 minutes from the start of the workshop.

‘What the hell happened?’

Suzuki was very confused about the current situation.

He was surprised when Sasaki died.

But that was the end.

Victory was already leaning.

Having exhausted his stamina and horsepower, Choi Hyunseong was no match for Suzuki and his teammates.

But suddenly another enemy appeared.

And those enemies unilaterally pushed themselves and their colleagues.

The difference in skill was too great.

Enemies that suddenly appeared pushed Suzuki and his companions like a cat playing with a mouse.

At least it was suppressed, so it would last for a few minutes.

If the goal was to kill, Suzuki and his companions' bodies would have turned into corpses that had cooled down by now and were lying on the floor.

Scratch!

Lucia's sword was torn apart and cut off Suzuki's ankle and wrist ligaments.

Then he grabbed the nape of his neck and started dragging him along.

* * *

'That's great.'

Hyunseong, who witnessed the battle of the mercenaries, opened his mouth wide.

I was sure I would win.

But I didn't expect it to be this overwhelming.

The level is different.

Although classified as a rare grade mercenary like Hyunseong, the difference in skill is really huge.

“Mission accomplished, employer. Do you have anything more to do? If not, I will go back.”

One of the mercenaries who overpowered the Japanese players asked Hyunseong.

“Monitor them until the minimum hours of employment are over.”

"all right."

The mercenary, with a sad expression on his face, took a seat next to the Japanese player he had defeated.

A total of 58 billion points was spent for Hyunseong to hire three mercenaries excluding Lucia.

It was never a small amount.

Even if the mission ends early and returns earlier than the minimum hiring time, the minimum hiring fee must be paid.

From Hyunseong's point of view, it was good to maintain the employment of mercenaries in case of unforeseen variables.

“Why are you targeting me?”

At Hyunseong's question, the Japanese players kept their mouths shut.

For once, it seemed like he was going to be consistent.

“You don’t seem to want to answer.”

In fact, it didn't really matter whether they answered or not.

This is because you can use the Psychometry skill by selecting an item that does not have magical powers among the items they have.

“Your employer is asking! Aren't you quick to answer?"

At that moment, a giant mercenary who looked over two meters tall roared and struck one of the Japanese players in the foot with the huge hammer he was holding.

Kwajik!

“Aaaaaah!”

The Japanese player let out a desperate scream.

The Japanese player's foot was smashed down by a giant hammer, and his bones and flesh were entangled as if pressed by a pressing press.

Healer's recovery skill was so serious that it was impossible to heal.

“You didn’t answer, did you?”

The giant mercenary raised his giant hammer, looking at the three other Japanese players with his eyes overflowing with life.

“I have received orders from the Japanese Dimensional Gate Management Department!”

“I told you to kidnap Choi Hyunseong and bring him to Japan!”

“The purpose was to figure out how to break the 20-level rule and why Choi Hyunseong quickly grew stronger!”

Three Japanese players competitively told the truth.

The mercenary who witnessed the scene lowered the giant hammer to the floor again.

'what?'

I had no intention of torture or intimidation.

But somehow, things turned out like that.'Let's check first.'

Hyunseong activated the psychometry skill using common items that Japanese players had.

And he went on to ask the question again.

At first, everyone told the truth.

But in the middle, he started to mix lies.

“Why did you lie?”

At Hyunseong's questioning, Sato's expression hardened.

And before he could even come up with an excuse, the giant mercenary swung his giant hammer again.

Kwajik!

“Aaaaaah!”

A desperate scream erupted inside the dungeon again.

There were no lies after that.

The Japanese players clearly told the truth.

“Are there other colleagues outside the dungeon?”

“Yeah, I’m not very good at it. I'm guessing it's probably around level 200."

“Exact location?”

“Go out of the dungeon… … .”

After hearing the explanation, Hyunseong stood up.

“I will go out for a while. In the meantime, please keep an eye on these people so they don't run away."

“Don’t worry, employer.”

After hearing the mercenaries' answers, Hyunseong went out of the dungeon.

‘Blink.’

Hyunseong moved the space to the location that he had heard about in advance.

“Hey!”

One player was surprised to see Hyunseong suddenly appearing.

However, what surprised him was that he began to raise his magical powers immediately after a while.

Scratch!

Hyunseong swung his dragon blood sword and killed the player.

And he put his body into the space.

‘That’s why I didn’t know.’

The distance was too far to be detected by the Feral Instinct skill.

If the Japanese players in the dungeon didn't open their mouths, they wouldn't even know it existed.

Hyunseong went back to the dungeon again.

And he continued the interrogation.

The interrogation went very easily.

Perhaps because they were afraid of the giant mercenaries, the Japanese players only told the truth when Hyunseong asked.

“We'll just have to go back. Are you willing to extend your employment?”

A mercenary with a hammer asked Hyunseong.

While the interrogation continued, the minimum employment time was over.

“I think it will be fine if you go back. Thank you for today.”

“Hahaha, say nothing. Please call me again next time. It’s the first time in my life that I eat raw like this.”

“So am I. Any assignments like this are welcome.”

“Please call me again next time.”

Except for Lucia, the mercenaries disappeared into the air with the words to call them back next time.

'how will we do it?'

Hyunseong thought about handling Japanese players.

If you capture them and hand them over to the Korea Players Association, Hyunseong's secret may be revealed.

hire mercenaries.

This is an additional function derived from a unique skill.

If Japanese players talk about hired mercenaries, the Korean Players Association will ask what happened.

Then there is a high probability that Hyunseong's secret will be revealed.

Whoops!

Then, flames rose towards Hyunseong and Lucia.

Hyunseong, who sensed the flow of magic in advance, lightly avoided himself.

Lucia used a shield to block the flames.

Two Japanese players, with their legs intact, fled to the exit with all their might.

The tendon was cut to prevent escape, but he recovered during the interrogation.

Fragile!

Hyunseong activated Black Dragon's Breath.

They weren't the only ones who recovered their bodies during the interrogation process.

Hyunseong also fully recovered his stamina and magic.

Aww!

The two men on the run barely escaped the Black Lightning Dragon's breath.

At that time, the two players who had their legs smashed at the same time raised their magic and used a skill.

Aaaaaaaaah!

Lucia blocked Hyunseong's front and used a defensive skill.

Scratch!

Together with him, Lucia's sword neatly cut the two people's heads off.

In the meantime, the two surviving were running away with all their might.

‘Blink, the veil of darkness.’

Hyunseong used both skills at the same time.

The two, who were running away, were running with all their might without knowing that Hyunseong was standing in the way.

The moment the two came close to Hyunseong.

Fragile!The black lightning dragon's breath exploded on the two of them.

“Aww!”

“Aaaaah!”

The two men, who had escaped naked, could not withstand the breath of the Black Lightning Dragon.

Tuk!

Two corpses turned to black charcoal were scattered on the floor.

‘Did you think you could run away because it was only me and Lucia left?’

It was a stupid choice.

From the beginning, there was no chance that they would succeed in escaping.

Hyunseong thought about the treatment of the mercenaries after they returned because he was confident enough to subdue them.

Although his main stat was superior to Hyunseong, he had already lost his items.

In addition, the body was barely able to move, but it was a difficult situation to fight.

Aaaaah!

A skill book came to mind from the bodies of the two people who had turned into charcoal.

Hyunseong went back to Lucia and took the rest of her items.

‘There was no loss, only a lot of profit.’

From the equipment worn by the Japanese secret agents to the skillbooks from their bodies.

Converted to points, it was about 100 billion points.

Even excluding 58 billion points used to hire mercenaries, it was a huge profit.

‘I don’t need to tell you.’

Hyunseong decided not to inform the Korean Players Association of this incident.

I can't say that Hyunseong handled them alone, and I can't tell him that he was hired as a mercenary.

The decisive truth had to be revealed so that there was no significant damage to the Japanese dimensional gate management department.

Because the tail-severing task for the secret agents was perfect.

‘They were criminals.’

The identities of the secret agents were players who committed crimes in Japan or other countries.

The Japanese Dimensional Gate Management Department attracted criminals by promising new identities, goods, and dedicated hunting grounds.

And the criminals gathered in this way were used as secret agents to mobilize unofficial operations.

To prevent betrayal or escape by criminals, they had each other monitor each other, and in some cases took their families hostage.

As a result, of course, loyalty to the Japanese dimensional gate management department was low.

Although the Japanese dimensional gate management department even threw a bait to criminals that they could work proudly in the sun if they set a certain level of achievement, that did not create loyalty that was not there.

'It might be after me again.'

Maybe more players will come next time.

But it was well worth it.

‘You have to make arrangements for the safety of your family.’

There are guards sent by the Korea Players Association, but to be honest, if the level that attacked Hyunseong attacked you, you would have no choice but to get hit.

‘I only have items.’

Hyunseong opened the status window and entered the purchase window.

After looking closely at the hero grade items, Hyunseong finally found what he was looking for.

Guardian Ring - Heroic Rank

-When the wearer is attacked, the damage is taken instead.

-If the ring of protection exceeds the damage it can take instead, it will disappear.

-Seller: Bcurako

-Sales price: 9,999,999,999 points

-Guardian Ring - Would you like to purchase a hero rank? Once purchased, items cannot be refunded or exchanged.

-[Yes No]

With a price of 10 billion won, it was quite cheap for a hero-grade item.

But considering that it was a consumable item, the price wasn't that cheap either.

‘Buy only three.’

Hyunseong pressed the buy button.

Bracelet of Exchange - Rare

- This is a set item.

-If you wear two bracelets one by one, you can check each other's current psychological state.

-Seller: Crowde

-Sales price: 999,999,999 points

-Bracelet of Exchange - Would you like to purchase a rare grade? Once purchased, items cannot be refunded or exchanged.

The exchange bracelet was quite cheap.

Hyunseong bought a total of three rings, just like Suho's ring.

Scroll for Long Travel - Heroic Rank

- This is a consumable item.

-Seller: Kurazabe

-Sales price: 9,999,999,999 points

‘Of course I should buy this too.’

For the safety of the family, such an investment was sufficient.
