– Volume 1, Episode 1
prologue
Taesan stares blankly at the enemy in front of him.
[Kaaa.]
Brilliantly shining red scales.
The eyes of a reptile that gathered all the world’s murderous intentions.
In the exhaled breath sparse white flames can be seen.
The red dragon roars.
king of dragons. The lizard of Mobius that announces the end of all things. The one who protects the depths.
It was a kind of deity that even the gods could not treat carelessly.
Against such an existence all Taesan had was shabby equipment.
The most basic cloth armor provided. and a rusty sword.
That was all.
“Deal with the dragon alone with this kind of equipment. The difficulty is worthy of the name.”
Not completely alone.
I could feel the gaze on him from up there.
The light contained in the gaze is simple.
infinite expectations for him.
and wonder at the miracles to come.
There is no way they will intervene before the dinner. As always I’ll just watch from afar.
I’m used to it now. I raise my sword without agitation.
[Kurr… … .]
The dragon moves its front paws. Taesan
Watch and carefully step back.
A glimpse of fear can be seen in the eyes filled with murderous intent.
“Why are you pecking?”
[Kaa!]
The dragon roars and moves its feet as if it has decided on something. The heavy dragon’s body approaches with a thud.
look behind The door they entered had long since disappeared.
There is no escape.
This battlefield was about the size of a playground.
“It’s the same as always.”
die or die
As you take a step forward the dragon roars in threat.
[Kaaaa!]
[The dragon’s roar attacks you!]
[Judgment begins.]
[Determining all stat decline… … .]
[Determining not to be able to act… … 』
[Judging Mental Disruption… … 』
[Judging to surrender… … J
[Determining instant death… … .]
[…]
[All judgments successful!]
[You endured with indomitable mental strength!]
[All stats have risen.]
[Your actions never stop. Acquired special always-on skill [Constant action].]
[The unyielding spirit descends.]
[The unyielding body dwells.]
[The opponent is an enemy impossible to win.]
[No judgment required. You did not break your heart against an impossible enemy!]
[No judgment required. Your fighting spirit has risen against an impossible enemy!]
[No judgment required. Your will has risen against an enemy that is impossible to win!]
[All stats have risen.]
[You are never broken in battle.]
[You have gained an eye to see your opponent’s weakness.]
[The dragon was overpowered by you who did not give in.]
[The dragon was afraid of you who did not break.]
[The dragon fell into fear that it would be defeated by you who were full of confidence.]
“Take it away.”
Taesan puts away the system window and thrusts his sword.
It’ll pass quickly so go for it.
[Kaa!]
The dragon rushes toward Mount Tai.
1. Easy Mode Player ⑴
“Oh it’s annoying.”
Taishan muttered as he walked through the ruined city.
“Why the hell did he run all the way here to bother people?”
In the collapsed streets I saw a few heterogeneous beings. However Taesan went on the road indifferently.
“Is this Anyang?”
Completely collapsed as a city
could not be found
All you can see are buildings with only roots left.
And only split asphalt.
Taesan crumpled at the sight of a landscape that didn’t even feel human.
bothered… …
he strode It wasn’t long before I found my purpose outside.
Kuruk.
rumble.
saw a monster Full body black neither human nor animal
thing.
Three such monsters were devouring a corpse.
That corpse was the purpose of Taesan.
It was alive not dead.
“It’s a spectacle.”
rumble.
The monsters notice Taesan. They swallow the corpse and move slowly.
[Monster 435 is glaring at you.]
[Monster 221 is glaring at you.]
[Monster 222 is glaring at you.]
“How can a name without a surname really work?”
Taesan grumbled. Even while fighting every time I saw his name I was exhausted.
gurgling!
monsters run Tae-san looked at the speed beyond human categories with an annoyance on her face.
hey. open the door.”
Taesan knocks on the door in front of a huge barrier. A vibration spread through the door and before long the door opened.
brother. Are you here?”
“I’m going to bother you but can’t you make someone else do it?”
haha. Knowing that there is no one else to do other than my brother.”
Jung-geun welcomes him back. He looked around Taesan and asked with a puzzled face.
“What about the one who escaped?”
“Dead. Even the corpses were all eaten by monsters.”
yes?
Joong-geun is confused.
“He’s still a hard mode player but he’s already dead?”
“Three A-class monsters were eating together?”
ah… …
Joong-geun shuts his mouth. Hard mode players are strong but every Class A monster rivals the hard player.
do. If there are three of them there is no ingenuity to overcome.
“Where are they located?”
If there are three A-rank monsters nearby you need to deal with them quickly.
Taesan answered Joonggeun’s serious face.
“I killed them all.”
Joong-geun muttered with a tired face.
okay.
“Okay I’m hungry. Let’s go to a restaurant.”
yes.
There were several buildings inside the wall. It’s all worn out and looks like it’s about to collapse but I still saw detached houses in the shape of houses.
Joong-geun walked and asked Tae-san.
brother. Be honest. Aren’t you an Easy Mode player?”
“What nonsense is this?”
Taesan frowned.
“How many guys have broken through the labyrinth with me? Go ask them.”
“Easy players are no longer hyung
Because they all died? Even the kids who pop out from time to time die within two days.”
“… … Did you?”
“Honestly how can an easy player hold up in the current situation? Even normal players are in a tricky situation. Because your brother is strange.”
An easy player but a person who surpasses hard mode. that was taesan
“Really why are you so strong? I’m a hard player too but I can’t even jab you.”
“It’s because you cleared it too roughly.”
“Again and again.”
“So what?”
They roughly cleared the labyrinth and Taesan grasped all the elements. From Tae San’s point of view the difference was that one.
“I can’t go back to the labyrinth anyway so let’s not talk nonsense and have a meal.”
yes yes.
They entered the old tent. Taesan sat down at the table.
“What is cooking today?”
“Potatoes.”
Taishan’s face twisted.
“Are you potatoes again? Can’t you grow something different? There are also sweet potatoes and corn.”
“How do you make potatoes the most efficient? Even with simple cultivation there is a limit to the quantity.”
A skill that can be cultivated anywhere without anything. Thanks to the simple cultivation that only a few people have mankind was still living.
“Didn’t you learn?”
“Why would an Easy Mode player learn something like that? Food everywhere
They are all over the place.”
“That is also true.”
Joong-geun shook his head.
After a while Jung-geun brought potatoes. The two ate in silence without a conversation.
A commotion was heard from the other side. A voice mixed with shouts and sighs. And shouts of denial of reality.
“Looks like the cleared guy is here again.”
“I guess so.”
The player who cleared the labyrinth and returned to Earth does not accept the reality.
I can’t help but make a fuss It was a common occurrence.
Neither Taesan nor Junggeun moved. The flow was set to make a fuss get subdued by the surrounding players and listen to the explanation step by step.
But this time unlike usual the turmoil did not subside easily.
uh… … older brother. You sound like a hard player?”
shit.
Taesan’s face twisted.
As if to prove Joong-geun’s words a man came running in a hurry.
“Mr. Taesan. come quickly It’s not even a fuss now.”
“Why me? There are a lot of hard players. Can’t they solve it?
oh my. Even Tae-san knows. Just come quickly.”
Taesan stood up with a crumpled face. Joong-geun leisurely took Taesan’s potatoes.
“Come on.”
“If you eat that I will kill you.”
Joong-geun secretly returned the potato
all.
Taesan followed the man with a sigh.
“What are you doing again this time?”
“He’s cleared hard mode but he’s running amok saying we’re all lying.”
“How many hard players are there and can’t beat them? Are you a pretty strong guy?”
Yo O”
flaw
The man clicked his tongue.
“I have quite a few decent skills so if I want to overpower anyone I will have to die.
I guess That’s why I need Taesan’s help.”
“What about Lee Taeyeon?”
“Taeyeon is out for reconnaissance outside right now. you know?”
“Ehh.”
Taishan sighed and headed towards the center of the commotion. There a young man was shouting with a red face.
Do not be ridiculous! Why is this Earth! This is a hidden camera! Don’t play around!”
“Young friend. Earth fits here. While you were in the labyrinth the world changed a lot… …
Do not be ridiculous!
The man made a rough fist. The middle-aged man who had been soothing the man stepped back with a groan.
“It’s just coming out.”
“Mr. Taesan. please!
The man who brought Taesan shouted Fighting.
“Aren’t you ashamed to rely on me an easy player?”
“Isn’t it an era where you can’t survive with shame?”
“Tsu”
Taesan clicked her tongue and walked over to the man. There were only men and Taishan in the square.
“Gee young man. What is your name?
“… … Changchun Lee.”
okay. Changchun. Unfortunately this is Earth. We are perishing now.”
Do not be ridiculous!
“Is that a habit?”
“This cannot be Earth! How many players are there but they can’t stop that monster. You are lying to me!”
Changchun groaned.
When he returns from the labyrinth he cannot accept the reality and goes on a rampage.
It was a common occurrence and did not seem to be easily accepted.
In this way there was always only one.
Taesan clenched his fists.
I’ll accept it if I’m beaten.
[Request a duel.]
Changchun is taken aback by the window that appears.
“… … duel? Who are you?”
“Kang Tae-san.”
“Kang Tae-san?”
Changchun who was thinking about the name laughed.
“That person who always talks a lot about the easy player?”
“You know me? He’s the one who frequented the community.”
“Funny! An easy player to play against a hard player?”
Changchun laughed at Taishan.
The player’s strength varies by difficulty.
Even if easy player bags were gathered it was difficult to even damage hard players.
However Taesan waved his hand with an annoyed face.
“Shut up and attack. If you beat me I’ll show you the real world you want so much.”
“… … No regrets!”
“You will regret it.”
[The duel is established.]
[Lee Chang-chun and Kang Tae-san start a duel.]
People spread the distance around them.
Lee Chang-choon’s eyes wavered with confidence.
I was making a bet as if it wasn’t worth looking around.
“Who are you going to bet on?”
“One potato for Kang Tae-san.”
“Five potatoes for Kang Tae-san.”
“Three potatoes for Kang Tae-san.”
“Does no one hang out with that young fellow? Could you possibly win?”
There is no answer to that. Not everyone here was thinking that Changchun Lee would win.
I really thought that the easy player would beat the hard player.
Taesan crossed his arms.
“I will yield to the seon-gong.”
you… …
Changchun Lee gritted his teeth. In any case the duel has begun. I can’t back down now.
[Lee Changchun activated Add.
Half of the basic attack power is added.]
[Lee Changchun activates concentration. The attack hits with a high probability.]
[Lee Chang-chun activated a strong attack. The next attack deals great damage.]
oh.
“To add to the assault? Strong.”
admire the surroundings But that’s it. Still waiting for the results without agitation. Changchun Lee gritted his teeth.
I do not know.
He runs towards Taesan.
[Lee Chang-chun’s attack.]
[Kang Tae-san’s first attack absolute nullification has been activated.]
[0 damage to Kang Tae-san.]
uh?
“Are you done?”
Changchun Lee blankly checked the system window. A skill that completely nullifies the first attack? something that I haven’t seen anything similar while playing hard mode.
“Is it my turn now?”
Kang Tae-san raises his fist. Changchun Lee came to his senses belatedly and covered himself with his arms.
wrap
[Kang Tae-san’s attack.]
[Lee Chang-chun activated Hardiness. Damage taken is reduced by half.]
[Kang Tae-san invoked an absolute decision. Ignore the opponent’s defense skill and defense.]
[49 damage to Changchun Lee.]
uh?
Changchun Lee is embarrassed again.
It was too weak. His stamina exceeds ten thousand. An attack like this was ticklish no matter how many times it was hit.
‘That’s right.’
Changchun Lee came to his senses. The opponent is an easy player. The difference between absolute stats and levels is not narrowed.
But Taesan raised his fist again.
“Are you beyond physical strength?”
[Kang Tae-san activates addition. The current attack power is doubled.]
[Kang Tae-san activated Multiplication. The current attack power is squared.]
[Kang Tae-san invoked an absolute decision. Ignore opponent’s defense skill and defense
do.]
Changchun Lee’s body stiffened.
“Take it.”
“Now wait.”
[Kang Tae-san’s attack.]
[9604 damage to Changchun Lee.]
OOO
“Mr. Taesan. Isn’t that too harsh?”
“Aren’t you dead? Please be more kind here.”
Taesan grumbled. Changchun Lee was sprawled on the floor and wriggling.
“Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
“Young friend. Do you understand now? Here’s the real Earth. We are the failures who cleared the beggar-like labyrinth and failed to protect the Earth.”
“Ooh don’t be ridiculous… …
Tears flowed from Changchun Lee’s eyes.
run
“Three why is the world like this… … If this was the case it would have been better not to clear the labyrinth… …
At those words silence turns. The man who soothed Lee Chang-chun smiled bitterly.
“But we all got out. What would you do? We should at least try to save this crazy world.”
Back when the world was still the world.
The sky split and a monster jumped out.
And for humans a choice appeared.
easy mode.
normal mode.
hard mode.
and a standalone mode.
Players who enter the labyrinth by selecting their own difficulty will return to Earth upon clearing it.
To an earth overflowing with monsters and perishing.
they were like that
And Taesan was a player who chose Easy Mode.
Level up with skill
