Episode 100
“Who am I? Isn’t he the king of heroes? By the way, why do the rest of the heroes listen to me because I am the King of Heroes? You might think that a dog is barking somewhere. “Who told you to stand in line in front of me and hit your head?”
On TV, the King of Heroes was talking as usual.
“But other than being a hero, I don’t know if the governments of each country are cooperating. They are all just feeding themselves and eating my back. After thinking about it carefully, I realized I could endure the unfairness. So, as I thought about it…
“It’s breaking news!” There is news that shortly after King of Heroes player Kang Yoo-seong announced the creation of a guild, Ohsung Group invested KRW 800 billion to
purchase the group’s new headquarters building! Afterwards, the skyscraper will be used as a guild headquarters and will welcome players from all over the world, regardless of nationality…
“After all, isn’t it true that we are the creator of the guild? Oh, where did I get a lot of money to buy this? Well, I bought it because they sold a shitty t-shirt. “Because I’m like this, I can’t stop being a player.”
Click, click! Guild headquarters.
The world becomes a game and the organizations in which players cooperate are everywhere and there is nothing that surprising about them. However, it was not an easy sight to see in this country, where players are thoroughly controlled in the name of the government and corporate associations.
Therefore, the enthusiasm of reporters surrounding the entrance to the building was also the same. Moreover, after already hearing the news, top players from all over were showing up there one by one.
“But how can the Ohsung Group buy a large amount of land and start construction on a building to be used as a new headquarters… “
Oh, I told the Chairman of Ohsung Group, who cares about world peace, about the need for this building, and he willingly allowed it. “He gave it to me.”
“Is that true?!”
“No, that’s a lie. “Do you mean that?”
“Then how on earth…
“Oh, it’s no big deal. In fact, Ohsung Group was caught doing something stupid with a player. Hey, oh my god. They hire players to play industrial espionage and stuff like that, so this is what this country looks like. So, I threatened the chairman with that fact, and he actually handed over this building as a donation… Wow.”
Yoosung kept his mouth shut.
“Oh my gosh, I said it. “This guy’s mouth is so loud.”
Silence fell once again.
Bang
“Kang Yu-seong, you damn bastard!”
The Chairman of Ohsung Group, who was watching the broadcast at that time, slammed his fist on the table.
Coming back to Ohsung Group’s new headquarters (past tense) skyscraper.
“However, regarding the creation of a new guild under domestic law, which adopts the 1 country, 1 guild system,
“Oh, it’s illegal? “That’s right.” Yooseong answered.
“I was trying to set up a guild and cooperate with people for the sake of the world, but oh no, this damn law is holding me back again. Well, don’t they say that even evil laws are laws? Then, let’s just get along, abide by the law, and plant today’s apple tree. Why do you plant apple trees? Because tomorrow the Earth will be destroyed.”
“Now you are making threats again, using the world as collateral…
“No, did I hold a knife to someone’s throat and tell them to spit something out? I just wanted to get rid of everything and live by being the owner of the property. “Well, I guess there should have been more people these days who feel like I’m kind to Dooly because I work hard to protect world peace.”
Yooseong continued speaking without paying attention.
“Do you not think anything of what happened at the UN Peace Security Council? Is peace free? I wonder if you’ve seen the movie ‘The Dark Knight’. “That’s what Joker said there.”
“What do you say?!”
“Never do something you’re good at for free.”
Yooseong continued speaking without paying attention.
“Peace is not free. I’m also sick of free volunteer work. So, from now on, I will bring in people who will listen to me and suck some honey, so please keep your mouth shut, other than those who will pay for my favor from now on. hmm. By the way, what price do you think we have to pay for world peace? Hundreds of billions? “A thousand trillion?”
Yooseong asked back and silence fell.
“Oh, I’m just kidding. What are you so serious about? I’m not a psychopathic villain…
Yoosung continued speaking in the silence.
“I will work hard to protect the world, so just stretch your legs, watch some entertainment, and live hard every day like you do now. Still, the politicians of this country who are watching this should turn off the entertainment they are watching for a moment and concentrate.”
politician. At those words, a murmur arose again.
“Even if the law of the country dies, you won’t be able to establish a guild? Then there is nothing you can do. I should go to a country where I can establish a guild without restrictions. Now that I think about it, there is France, a country of freedom, equality and fraternity! I guess I should go buy some French textbooks after today. Now that I think about it, who said that? Ah, it was the work of Robespierre, the purge master during the Reign of Terror!”
It was right then.
Click.
The reporters gathered around the area, as if possessed by something, shut down their cameras and broadcasting equipment and remained silent without moving a single movement.
In it, a woman in a blue dress as gorgeous as a peacock appeared.
“…Kang Yoo-seong.”
“Oh, what’s going on, Mistress?”
“Do you know what that means now
?”
“Oh, I know that well. Why don’t you know? You, me, Cheolsu and Younghee next door are all setting up guilds for dogs and cows, and I want to set up a guild too and talk about it.
“Have you been insisting on playing solo until now and then suddenly feel philanthropic?”
“Are you kidding me?”
Mistress was coldly silent, and the high-ranking CIPO players assisting her whispered as they stood on alert.
“Be careful Mistress. “People from the National Intelligence Service are hiding there.”
At those words, Mistress glanced around. At first glance, there are signs of players hiding among the reporters, pretending to be distracted by Mistress’ ‘mental manipulation’. There wasn’t one.
“The people of the world will be afraid of you, the king of heroes, expanding your power.”
“Oh, you have to speak clearly. “Aren’t they ‘rulers’ and not people of the world?”
“…Was that the goal from the beginning?”
“No, that can’t be possible. “I just want to work together and show the victory of friendship and effort.”
Yoosung answered calmly.
“That day, from the tower of the UN Peace Security Council, I felt a pain in my bones.”
“What?”
“No matter how many times I put a knife to the neck of world peace and threaten to do so, will you really care? In fact, even though the King of Heroes looks like this, he is very kind and soft-hearted… Because I know this, the only thing I can think of is how they will get rich while I am working hard for the world. “Isn’t that right?”
“You have a sharp leap.”
“You can think whatever you want. So, I also realized that there is no point in threatening world peace any longer. “Then, when I thought about what I could do to properly ‘threaten’ those rulers, I found that there was only one thing.”
“So what are you going to do?”
Yoosung answered as if it were someone else’s business.
“I need to make you fear me more.”
That night. A message appeared in the field of vision of Sia Lee, a player in the assassination department of the National Intelligence Service.
[“Please allow me to tie the puppet strings to your body.”]
[The Witch Lord offers a contract to the player ‘Isia.’]
She was also in the tower. And from that tower, I watched over Saint Ilicia for a little while. The sacrifices she made at the end, and the way she was reborn as the ‘Lord of Witches’ in exchange for her world on the throne at the end.
Shia Lee was unfazed by the majesty that was beyond reason and beyond what a single player could handle. And I was able to realize it.
The beings beyond reason at the top of the Throne Spire at the End are the real opponents that the ‘King of Heroes’ is facing.
The scenery that the King of Heroes saw as a player was an area that no one else could even dare to imagine.
That’s why all I could do was laugh. To him, who is facing the end of this game, how ridiculous and ridiculous what is happening on this earth must be. The contempt the King of Heroes must be feeling before the world was also understandable to the point of making my bones tingle.
No one understands the fight, no one understands the scene he is seeing.
But not anymore.
“…For what?”
[“For the hero.”]
[The Witch Lord whispers lovingly.]
The Witch Lord answered, and Player Lee Sia remained briefly silent.
“Assassin Lord, will you grant me another contract?”
『I will grant the contract.”]
[The Assassin Lord agrees to player Isia’s request.]

“Please enter the next reviewer.”
A room in a huge skyscraper that was supposed to be the new headquarters of Ohsung Group.
There was a king of heroes on the first floor who boasted durability that could withstand the skills of players to some extent through the technology of the mechanical lord.
With a woman in a suit wearing a mysterious mask.
The reporters surrounding the entrance to the building were eager to cover the news, and high-ranking players from all over the world were showing up there one by one after hearing the news.
In the case of the nine heroes, most of them have their own guilds. Just like the guild of the Holy Virgin’s Order of Knights.
Moreover, in the case of the highest-ranking players, most of them already belong to a specific guild and have their own status. Therefore, no matter how much the King of Heroes established a guild, he would not be able to form a dream team right away.
“This is Jade River, a British player! Although your name is not yet listed on the ranking board…
“What did you do wrong to want to join our company?”
“yes?”
Yooseong asked back, and Jade was momentarily embarrassed and asked back. Looking at that scene, Yooseong spoke.
“get out.”
“yes?”
“Get out.”
