Episode 1
“Hee-eok… Hee-eok…”
A rough breath came out. He was a bloody man.
Ranker at level 904. 1st place in the arena ranking.
In the past, he was called the < Undefeated King >, and someone said that he was unmatched in a one-on-one match.
Damian, the god of death!
It was difficult to understand at first glance that he was kneeling.
[Notice: Abnormal Status! Your character has < weakness >! All stats decrease!]
[Notice: Abnormal status! Your character has < bleeding >! Your HP will decrease!]
[Notice: Abnormal condition! Your character is < sealed >! I can’t use the skill!]
[Notice: Abnormal status! Your character has < Petrification >! The character is slowing down!]
If it wasn’t for the message that popped up in front of my eyes.
“Keep… ugh!”
Damian bit his lip. The whole body was full of wounds.
Poison Weak Bleeding Seal Petrification Stun Burn Confusion Infestation Corrosion.
Have there been so many status ailments in the game? Damian’s condition was a mess.
Even if Saint Magnus or Daera Shinseon came, it was impossible to cure.
“Hey… does it really last that long? It’s not a long-lasting battery, what is this?”
Damian raised his head at the sarcastic voice.
It was the man standing in front of me.
A cloak decorated with gold. A staff shaped like a dragon.
His appearance was clean without a drop of blood and seemed to be the exact opposite of the urgent Damian.
KingArthur.
He was the leader of this Demon King Expedition.
“This bitch… Cool!!”
“huh? what?”
As Damian coughed up blood, King Arthur listened.
I heard everything even if I didn’t do that, but I did it on purpose.
My name is Yumin Jung.
A descendant of the main deity, Arya, and the owner of the < Infinity Circle >, which is infinite mana.
Looking at King Arthur, who was once a colleague and comrade, Damian distorted his face like a demon.
If I could, I wanted to tear him to shreds.
BUT…
[WARNING: Player’s HP will drop below standard! Be careful when logging out!]
[Warning: The player’s health will drop below the standard! Be careful about logging out!]
In front of my eyes, only the warning message from the system flashed fiercely.
“What the hell…”
“Huh?”
“why…!!”
“Why did you do this?”
King Arthur tore the corners of his mouth. It looked pretty fun.
A ruined dungeon and fallen comrades on the floor.
In front of him, a black winged demon was roaring, and King Arthur did not know that it was the product of Damian.
The worst boss ever and the undisputed king of the Abyss.
The demon king, Abraxas, didn’t even have a handful of HP left.
[Notice: Abraxas, the lord of the abyss, raises mana!]
[Notice: Abraxas, the lord of the abyss, is about to unleash the 7th magic ceremony!] [Notice
: Abraxas, the lord of the abyss attempts super regeneration!]
“Where are you being cheeky?”
When the message came to mind, King Arthur snapped his fingers.
It was the expression of a child whose play was interrupted.
Then…
[Notice: The ultimate all-weather multi-field destruction barrier is activated!]
– Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
The magic circle exploded with an explosion that made the heavens and earth vibrate.
Demon King Abraxas had disappeared.
“friend. the world is Everyone has their own place. Like worms that get dirty, garbage like garbage, people from the lower classes like people from the lower classes. But do such life dropouts become heroes? this is not That’s a serious mistake. is not it?”
King Arthur’s fingers hit his forehead.
If I could, I wanted to kill him right now.
Abyss, the worst dungeon on earth. And the advance base established by the demon king Abraxas to occupy Middle-earth.
Damian and the expedition team reached this place following the guidance of < Main Stream >, and each embarked on a dungeon raid with the determination of a lifetime.
It was an irresistible condition.
A chance to close the dimensional gates and become the hero of this world.
A reward for establishing a country for the first time as a user.
Even the astronomical spoils of the demon king Abraxas.
That was what all AC users wanted, so the event < Demon King Invasion > caused a huge sensation.
Damian was the same.
“Jinseong, please… Mom wants to live too. I want to live…”
“Go away, you game addict bastard. Someone like you is not my older brother.」
「Brother, when will you pay me back? yes? Would you like your father to operate with you? If you have dementia, won’t the rest of your organs be fine?
” Do you really want to see someone die?!」
「Kill it, you bastard! Kill it!!!」
The father lying on the bed and the mother collapsed.
A disowned younger brother and a broken family.
Damian risked his life here despite all the people around him and set foot in the Abyss even after hearing the warning that his character would be deleted once he died.
It was a life lived like garbage.
Because it was a life like a worm that could not be revived enough to risk its life on a game like this.
I thought this was the only way to get my ruined life back.
By the way…
“Kick… gig kick! Kick kick kick kick kick!”
I never dreamed that it would collapse due to his betrayal.
Everything was ruined because of it.
“What~ Anyway~. There must be bastards like you in the world to go back. Thanks to that, I cleared the dungeon like this. Catch the devil too. Killing two birds with one stone?”
King Arthur spun around and spread his hands.
He seemed to have no hesitation in revealing his true colors any longer.
Are you even dancing?
A question like a beast’s cry came out of Damian’s mouth.
“From the beginning… was this your intention…?”
“Of course you bastard!!!”
puck!
Damian’s body shuddered at King Arthur’s kick.
That was the beginning.
King Arthur knocking Damian down with his staff once or twice.
He looked like a psychopath you only see in movies, or like a rare serial killer.
“X bastard! A buggy bastard! I didn’t like you from the first time I saw you. You fucking bastard!”
It was an ugly true face hidden behind the bright side.
[Do you want revenge?]
“…!”
Damian’s eyes widened.
It was a strange voice.
Between the distant consciousness, the fading senses, and the mad King Arthur’s voice.
And Damian felt a secret whisper coming from the traces of the death and disappearance of the demon king Abraxas.
It sounded like a demon tempting me.
[I understand your meaning.]
[I speak in the name of Abraxas, the old evil, the lord of the abyss.] [
Inheriting the progress of the old evil.]
[Kill Arya, the god of light, and the second coming of chaos to this land. As a person to realize …]
“It’s a cub!”
Wedge!
King Arthur’s wand fell.
It was an attack on the head.
And at the same time, a whispering voice that concludes the final conclusion.
[… Damian.
]
Soon, Damian’s eyes turned white.
* * *
“Huh!”
The man raised his upper body.
It looked like a nightmare.
Full body soaked. eyes wide open. A tightly clenched fist.
It was hard to believe that he was a person in the Abyss, and he was even less thought of as a person with the enemy Cheolcheon in front of him.
Damian the god of death.
It was Jinseong.
“This… how the heck…”
– Chirp! Jjajae Jack!
Jinseong raised his head at the sound of a bird chirping.
it was on the bed
Instead of the shady and cold floor of the Abyss, the ground is warm and cozy.
And Jinseong was able to realize that this place is not a game but a reality after several sensory checks.
It was unbelievable.
He should have been inside the < Galaxy-M24 Apple >, which is commonly called a < brick >, not on a bed like this….
– Hyung!!! Come quickly and eat!!!
“…what?”
Something strange must have happened.
* * *
“What is it? Why are you staring at people like that?”
“Are you really my brother?”
“What are you talking about?”
Jinseong opened the door and narrowed his eyes as he saw the man who entered.
It was a familiar face.
His younger brother, who would have been commissioned as a military officer by now.
Such a younger brother had an incredibly youthful face and was wearing a school uniform, not a military uniform.
It was incomprehensible to Jinseong, who turned 32 this year.
“No… what are we really going to do? He said he had to go up today. You asked me to wake you up and you forgot?”
“Heeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!”
When Jin-hoon spoke, Jin-seong swallowed his breath.
The goosebumps were all over.
To think that a twenty-eight-year-old man was making strange, short-tongued noises.
Of course, I was grateful that my younger brother, who had been disowned many years ago, talked to me, but I couldn’t help but feel a visceral sense of incongruity.
He wasn’t the brother he knew.
“Are you a crazy bastard, really? I definitely said eat!”
bang!
When Jin-hoon closed the door and went down, Jin-seong looked around.
Come to think of it, it was on the second floor.
A detached house where the whole family lived until his father was diagnosed with dementia.
Jin-seong clearly remembered the house in Sanbon-dong, Gunpo-si, which was passed over by the bank’s compulsory execution.
It was a house in the past.
“…Am I really crazy?”
Jin-seong looked around while talking to himself.
It was so vivid.
The blanket I’m covering now, the smell in the room, and the scenery outside the window.
Stepping on the creaky floor after getting out of bed, Jinseong felt a thought passing by.
‘No way… I…’
Did he come back?
to the past?
– ah!!! Brother come quickly!!!
Jin-Hoon’s voice reverberated throughout the house.
