Level 1 Player

When the work in China was finished, Hyunseong fully returned to Korea.

The Korean Players Association had no idea that Hyunseong had gone to China.

It was because Hyunseong was in and out of Korea in the middle.

Hyunseong returned to her daily life and cleared the hero grade dungeon with Lucia.

Aww!

Hero grade monsters were swept away powerlessly.

‘You have become very strong.’

Hyunseong has grown tremendously since going to China.

This is because he has greatly increased the skills he is learning, and invested points to grow the Black Lightning Dragon's Breath and the Book of Immortality.

The options in the Book of Immortality, which had grown to a legend level, were not changed.

It's just that your recovery is greatly increased.

The problem is that its resilience is huge.

During a close battle against 10,000 players in China, the Book of Immortality instantly restored the half-melted upper body.

It was the same when the arrow pierced the heart.

As if turning the screen upside down, the scar disappeared as soon as it appeared.

Hyunseong strengthened the Book of Immortality and the Breath of the Black Dragon by purchasing wound healing and thunderbolt skills among the legendary skill books.

‘You have to grow it into a myth-grade skill.’

The 1,000 trillion points was too far-fetched even for Hyunseong, who earned a huge amount of points by going to China.

If you do not reach Mythic level, you cannot purchase Mythic level skills.

However, the circumstances of the black dragon dragon, which can grow, and the standing immortal, were different.

I don't know how much investment I need to make, but it was possible to grow by absorbing other skill books.

If you continue to invest points, there is a lot of potential to grow to the Shinhwa rating.

‘It would be nice if I could further increase the growth-type unique grade skill.’

Unfortunately, it was never easy to obtain the only growth-type skill.

Hyunseong passed the hurdle of death when he got the Dragon Blood Sword and the Book of Immortality.

‘Named Monsters.’

A special monster that only appears once.

There was a high probability that those guys would give them a unique rank skill.

'We need to grow the dragon blood sword too... … .'

Hemolytic swords grow by eating the blood of polyps.

As a result, unlike the Breath of the Black Dragon Dragon or the Book of Immortality, it was quite difficult to grow.

‘If you hunt legendary grade dragon monsters like Imoogi, would you like to grow up a bit?’

Hyunseong was virtually like a kkakdugi in the Imoogi raid that took place in the past.

Without the Dragon Blood Sword, it would not have been possible to even dream of being number one in contribution.

But now it was different.

If you use a consumable item with a large penalty, it seemed like you could fight a legendary monster one-on-one and catch it.

The problem was that the only remaining Legendary level monsters were in Japan.

‘Should I go to Fukuoka?’

If you use the Transformation Scroll, you can hunt the joins while avoiding the eyes of others.

But Japan was the problem.

If Hyunseong transforms into a monster using a transformation spell and battles the join clan, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.Naturally, Japan will notice, and they cannot stand still.

It is a natural situation for Japan to aim for fishermen.

If it goes well, only Japan will do a good job, and if it goes wrong, there may be a situation where you have to face Japanese players with a penalty.

In addition, we had to consider the possibility that the Jo In-joo could escape or Hyunseong would be pushed back.

The Join-Type is an air-type monster that can freely fly through the air.

If the situation becomes unfavorable, you can run away whenever you want.

In addition, there may be a situation where Hyunseong cannot withstand the attack of the Joining tribe from the air and has to back down.

‘It would be nice if a terrestrial legendary level monster appeared.’

It would be great if the orcs who escaped to the dimensional gate could bring one such as an orc warchief or an orc shaman, but there has been no news yet.

“Sir, you have become really strong.”

At Lucia's words, Hyunseong burst into laughter.

“It’s all thanks to the points Lucia gave me.”

While Hyunseong installed and wandered around in China, Lucia continued to accumulate points through trading.

Every time Hyunseong returned to Korea, he received the points and purchased a skill book to strengthen the Book of Immortality and the Breath of the Black Dragon.

Thanks to that, the recovery skill book and thunderbolt skill book were dry in the purchase window.

“I just did what I had to do, of course.”

Lucia said quietly.

“Lucia has also grown a lot stronger.”

“It is thanks to the grace of the Lord.”

Lucia has steadily strengthened with a 10% margin obtained by selling modern items.

If there was one thing that was disappointing, it was the item.

Unfortunately, Lucia didn't have any Legendary items until recently.

After returning from China, Hyunseong presented Lucia with a legendary weapon and shield.

Considering what Lucia did for Hyunseong, I could give as many gifts as I wanted.

Lucia was Hyunseong's first subordinate and the benefactor who allowed Hyunseong to become a monarch.

He also gave a legend-grade item to the Chinese idiot Ma who had just met him.

By the way, Hyunseong's henchman Lucia, who is far higher in rank than his nemesis, was catching monsters with poor (?) hero-grade equipment.

Hyunseong saw that, and his conscience was pierced.

That's why I gave him a legendary-grade weapon and shield.

Lucia refused at first, but in the end she pretended not to win and took the gift.

Wearing a legendary sword and shield, Lucia showed terrifying fighting power.

‘After all, if your wallet is full, there is no burden.’

I gave Lucia two pieces of legendary equipment, but Hyunseong's point was still full.

DVD player and TV sales waned, but movie DVD sales were still doing well.

Large-capacity camping batteries were also selling well.

In addition, useless hero-grade items obtained as loot from China also sold well, although not quickly.

Giving Lucia two legendary items as a gift was no burden to Hyunseong.

‘You haven’t come up yet.’

Hyunseong checked the purchase window in the middle of hunting.

It was to check whether the recovery-based legendary-grade skillbook or thunderbolt-based legendary-grade skillbook had been uploaded.

‘Legendary grade skill books are too few.’

There was also a way to grow the hero grade by feeding the skill book, but the efficiency was too low.This is because the price of the two types of skillbooks suddenly rose sharply as Hyunseong started buying the hero grade recovery skill book and the thunderbolt skill book.

If it's Legendary, you can afford it even if the price rises to some extent.

It's well worth the price.

However, he could not buy a hero-grade skill book at such a high price, which did not help much for growth.

Hyunseong was planning to sweep away the recovery series and thunderstorm series hero grade skill books when the price fell later.

“Sir, it’s time to stop and go back.”

At Lucia's words, Hyunseong confirmed the watch that works as a magic stone.

“Ah, the time has come. Shall we go hunting a little more? If I hunt for another three hours, I think I can break an achievement.”

“Then life patterns are disrupted. To hunt more monsters tomorrow, we need to rest today.”

At Lucia's words, Hyunseong meekly nodded her head.

Because it wasn't wrong.

In fact, it wasn't the first time I've hunted for half a day after spending just a few more hours like this.

“Then let’s go back.”

At Hyunseong's words, Lucia turned towards the dungeon exit.

It seemed like something was terribly rushing.

“Is this Monday?”

"That's right."

“It’s the best romance broadcast day.”

Lucia shrugged her shoulders slightly.

“Somehow, I heard that there are a lot of strange explanations today.”

Normally, he would have briefly expressed his intentions, saying, 'Stop dying.' or 'Then let's hunt a little more.'

But today, he said a lot.

“It’s not because of the drama.”

“Who said what?”

Hyunseong asked with a puzzled expression.

“Didn’t you say that there are a lot of strange explanations today?”

“I was just saying that there are a lot of explanations.”

"profit!"

Lucia's face flushed as red as red.

“I will go first.”

Then, with those words, he strode forward.

it will be twisted

‘Because you are so cute.’

As for the age, Lucia will be much older than Hyunseong.

But every action he did was subtly cute.

Hyunseong pretended not to know and walked after Lucia.

‘Would you like to ask Inbeom for a drink?’

Hyunseong reconnected with friends he had lost contact with after meeting Yun Seong-ho.

After that, he made occasional contact and enjoyed a drink with friends.

profit!

The dungeon door opened and Hyunseong and Lucia came out of the dungeon.

And I turned on my smartphone.

Hyunseong was thinking of calling his friend In-beom Han.

'uh?'

But he had to stop thinking about it.

‘Mr. Yoona.’

Shin Yoon-ah received a text message.

- When the hell are you going to buy rice?

That was all the text was about.

‘I completely forgot.’

She said she would buy her a meal when she came back from Japan, but as this and that happened, she had completely forgotten about it.

Hyunseong pressed the call button.

-Hello.

“This is Choi Hyunseong. I got a text message and contacted you.”

- I sent a text message because my phone was off.

“I’m in the dungeon.”

-Are you done with chipping?

“I don’t think China will have the spirit of buying and selling for the time being.”

- I do.

“When can I buy you some rice?”

- Right now.

At Shin Yoon-ah's words, Hyunseong burst into laughter.

“I do that.”

Hyunseong and Shin Yoona set the meeting place and time and hung up.

“Are you Shin Yoon-ah?”

Lucia asked.

“Yeah, I think something else has happened.”

It's been quite some time since we promised to have a meal together with Shin Yoon-ah.

But things kept happening and I was half-forgotten.

It must have been the same for Shin Yoon-ah.

In fact, she was still insanely busy.

In a situation where China is rapidly changing, South Korea, which faces a border, has no choice but to be very nervous.

In such a situation, you suddenly ask to buy rice?

Also, in a situation where he knew Hyunseong was staying?

Before, I never called for a light meal.

Hyunseong arrived at the meeting place.

Shin Yoon-ah was waiting for me in advance.

“Long time no see.”

“That’s it.”

Hyunseong and Shin Yoona lightly shook hands and sat down.

The restaurant was a high-class restaurant with room type.

“Have you been very busy all this time?”

“Would it have been only Yoona?”

“Are her family calm down?”

“Yes, you have been very stable because you have been receiving psychiatric treatment.”

While Hyunseong and Shin Yoona exchanged greetings, the pre-ordered food came out.

Hyunseong and Shin Yuna had a small chat while having a meal.

As the meal was almost over, Yoona Shin pulled out the real thing that sang Hyunseong.

“Today, a sixth Legendary tier monster appeared,” she said.

At Shin Yoon-ah's words, Hyunseong's expression hardened slightly.

“Which country are you in?”

In Korea, there would be no room for Shin Yoon-ah and Hyunseong to slicing steak while chatting at a restaurant.

“It’s America.”

Hyunseong made a slightly puzzled expression.

The US, not Russia or China, which borders Korea? America is not a country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Geographically, Korea and the United States were quite far apart.

“Then why are you contacting me?”

“The United States wants Mr. Hyunseong.”

"Yes? What… … ?”

Hyunseong asked with an absurd expression.

America wants itself.

What kind of nonsense does that mean?

“Actually, the US has wanted Hyunseong for a long time. I was contacted through the UN, but it was effectively the will of the United States.”

Hyunseong felt that he had a backstory that he did not know.

“Tell me more about it.”

"that is… … .”

Shin Yoon-ah started explaining.

Hyunseong was unaware, but the UN continued to request the dispatch of players to Korea.

That's because he shot a player named Choi Hyunseong.

The expected input country is the United States.

No one is unaware that the United States is the most influential country in the United Nations.

Especially at that time, the United States was not so urgent that it needed the help of the United Nations Allied Forces.

The Korea Players Association thought that the US was trying to convince Hyunseong, and rejected it with these excuses and other excuses.

At the same time, there was a reasonable excuse for Hyunseong to live in when a Chinese secret agent was attacked.

But today's request was difficult to refuse.

That was the appearance of the sixth legendary level monster.

The United States requested assistance from South Korea directly, not through the UN.

South Korea and the United States were allies and had a mutual defense treaty.

The problem was that it was triggered not only when it was invaded by other countries, but also when it was invaded by monsters.

In the early days of the Cataclysm, South Korea and the United States expanded the scope of the Mutual Defense Treaty by mutual consent.

Until now, the Korea-U.S. Mutual Defense Treaty had never been triggered by a monster invasion.

In fact, when it comes to monsters, if Korea gave help to the United States, they gave it, but never received it.

The situation was not difficult enough for the United States to reach out to Korea.

However, in any case, the two countries had to go to aid if one side requested help according to the mutual defense treaty.

“Did you say that America asked you to pick me up and let me go?”

At Hyunseong's question, Shin Yoona nodded her head.

“Yeah, honestly, it’s hard to say no for a reason.”“Well, that’s okay.”

Although it is an ally, frankly, South Korea has rarely helped the United States militarily.

This is probably the first time the United States has invoked the Korea-U.S. Mutual Defense Treaty to request assistance from South Korea, saying that the mainland is in crisis.

Is South Korea ignoring America's first request for assistance, even undermining its self-esteem?

The aftermath will probably be huge.

“Look, I’m a civilian, right?”

Hyunseong is not a soldier.

He signed a contract with the Players' Association, but nowhere in the contract did he say that he had to go to another country to catch monsters.

“So he made this place. The president of the association told me to try to persuade Hyunseong. And he's cracking down hard so that he doesn't fall for the conciliation of the United States."

The Korean Players Association has to convince Hyunseong to send him to the United States.

However, it would be a big deal if Hyunseong fell for the US conciliation after spending that way and sat still.

“The player association’s position must be difficult.”

“Thank you for letting me know.”

“But that doesn’t mean I have to do the Players Association’s favor, right? What’s more, it’s a dangerous job to deal with legendary monsters.”

Hyunseong said it was naturally dangerous.

It was a topic he had been thinking about until recently, ‘Should I go to Fukuoka?’ to hunt legendary monsters.

Perhaps if Shin Yoona had the ability to read Hyunseong's heart, she would have shouted that she was a scammer.

But, sadly, Shin Yoon-ah did not have the ability to read Hyunseong's inner thoughts.

"Yes. It's dangerous. So, at the level of the Players Association, we have prepared a suitable reward for it.”

“What?”

To be honest, there wasn't much the Players Association could do for Hyunseong.

money?

You could win trillions of dollars whenever you wanted.

item?

The items that the Players Association could provide were of little value to Hyunseong.

“For now, I will correct the distribution of Manastone profits to 10: 0.”

This means that you will not receive even the 20% you used to take.

The amount of manastones Hyunseong acquires in the dungeon is enormous.

Even if it's 20%, it's a pretty big profit.

However… … .

“You can just keep taking it with you.”

It was a figure that didn't mean much to Hyunseong.

“I also plan to give individual Hyunseong a tax-free benefit.”

“Tax-free?”

"Yes."

“Isn’t that what you’re still getting?”

Hyunseong was receiving tax-free benefits anyway.

How does he give back what he is already receiving?

“ The reason Hyunseong is currently receiving tax exemption is because he is directly under the Players Association. When you leave the Players Association, the duty-free benefits disappear.”

“Ah, it was a conditional benefit, so you’re going to remove that condition.”

"That's right."

"Well… … .”This also didn't appeal to me very much.

Hyunseong was thinking of swallowing the Players Association whole.

He had stopped thinking about leaving the Players' Association.

For Hyunseong, the individual tax-free benefit didn't mean much.

After all, isn't that a benefit you can get if you only have enemies in the Players' Association?

“You’re sulking.”

“I was planning to renew my contract with the Players Association this time anyway.”

“Thank you.”

“Is this all the benefits that come with it even if it doesn’t stop there?”

At Hyunseong's words, Shin Yoon-ah was devoured and burst into laughter.

“Actually, I thought deeply with the president of the association. There was really no benefit that the Players Association could give to Hyunseong.”

“Then is this the end?”

“It’s not.”

“Then give me a real tile.”

“The president of the association asked the government for help. In fact, it is the government that started this work. Then he pulled out a dungeon ownership card and held it out.”

“Do you own the dungeon?”

Hyunseong's eyes flashed.

All dungeons are state owned.

So far, no group or individual has been able to privatize the dungeon.

It was the same for large corporations running wild in the country.

I just used a shortcut and used it like a dedicated dungeon.

“The government has decided to completely hand over ownership of one of the dungeons to Choi Hyunseong. The government won't care at all whether you monopolize the dungeon and hunt alone, or open it to other players and charge an entrance fee. Oh, and of course it's an informal transfer of ownership. If you publicly hand over ownership, the big companies won't stand still.”

Dungeon Ownership.

You can use it as a personal hunting ground to earn points, or you can provide it to your servants.

If not, you can continue to earn huge profits just by taking the entrance fee.

“One is too few, let’s do three.”

Shin Yoona shook her head at Hyunseong's words.

“Even one is passed over by the government with a big heart. Do you know how much the annual admission fee for Heroic Dungeon is? It is more than the sales of any medium-sized company.”

Hero-grade dungeons are few in number.

The players who use the dungeon are also high-level players and rankers, not middle and low-level players.

Of course, there was a lot of profit, and the entrance fee to the dungeon itself was prohibitively expensive.

Even if I only received the entrance fee, I could live happily from generation to generation.

In addition, the dungeon did not have to ride a game, nor did the value fluctuate like real estate.

“Then let’s do one hero-grade dungeon and two rare-grade dungeons.”

“Because it doesn’t work.”

A fierce fight ensued.

However, Yoona Shin was Eul and Hyunseong was Gap.

“One hero-grade dungeon and one rare-grade dungeon. This is the final Maginot Line.”

Hyunseong pondered for a moment at Shin Yoon-ah's words, and then opened her mouth.

"great. I'm conceding at that level."

“What is concession?”

Shin Yoona pouted her lips and muttered.“Yoona is also breaking the life contract. So, do you know, will the government give Yoona a dungeon too?”

“If America wanted me as desperately as it wanted Hyunseong, it could have been possible, but it’s not.”

After the Orc Warchief Reid and Orc Shaman Reid, Hyunseong's stock price rose vertically.

On the other hand, the share price of Shin Yoon-a, who had been evaluated as the best player in Korea until then, has plummeted.

“Anyway, you decided to go to America.”

"of course."

In fact, even though I said I wouldn't send it, I volunteered to go.

“And no matter how much candy the United States puts on, don’t fall for it and come back.”

“I will. I also took ownership of the dungeon, but I can’t transfer it to the US.”

The reason the government gave Hyunseong ownership of the dungeon was not simply because he had nothing to give.

The government could give Hyunseong a huge compensation or give him a large amount of land.

If not, he can give you a bunch of hero-grade skillbooks.

Nevertheless, the government handed over the ownership of the dungeon to Hyunseong, which had not been handed over to large corporations.

Breaking the customs of the past, the state-owned dungeon was unofficially handed over to the individual.

That is because of the specificity of dungeon ownership.

Dungeon ownership cannot be taken like other goods.

It cannot be sold for cash, nor can it be exchanged.

When Hyunseong was a Korean, ownership of the dungeon can be fully recognized.

However, as long as Hyunseong changes his nationality to another country, he can regain ownership of the dungeon at any time according to the will of the government.

The ownership of the dungeon was a symbol of the Korean government's firm will to never lose Hyunseong to the United States.

Well, it's a little out of shape that they're holding their ankles in such a way that it's a loss if they go to America because they spread it out.

“By the way, what kind of legendary monster appeared in America? It looks like it hasn't been released on the internet yet."

“My name is Hydra, with nine heads.”

“It’s a dragon.”

“If it is classified as such, yes.”

Hyunseong burst into laughter.

It would have been nice to be a legend-grade monster of another species, but it is a dragon species.

A catalyst that can grow the hemolytic sword, which has been sluggish in the past, has emerged.

In addition, the Dragon Blood Sword is extremely effective when dealing with polyps.

The success probability of a one-person raid with a legendary level monster has increased.

‘I can use the Dragon Blood skill properly.’

Due to the restriction that only the fatigue of the polyp can be activated, it has not been used properly.

However, it could be used as much as possible against Hydra.

‘It’s a gain just to go, but I even took ownership of the dungeon.’

At this point, I felt sorry for the Korean government, who gave everything to Hyunseong, regardless of the gallbladder.

“Fortunately, I heard that the area where the dimension gate was opened was not a city, but a wasteland. So it seems that there have been no casualties yet.”

“Does he seem to be quiet?”

“They are exploring their surroundings, but they say they are not very active.”

“Then when can I leave?”

At Hyunseong's question, the corners of Shin Yoona's lips rose slightly.

“Right now.”

Eventually, that day, Hyunseong could not even enter the house and had to head straight to the US base.

And he immediately boarded a US military plane and flew to the United States.
