– Volume 1, Episode 4
4. Easy Mode Player (4)
Taesan did his best against the apostle.
He used the skill with a little bit of recovered mana and took advantage of all the items to pass the time. I tried to find the slightest possibility.
but was defeated
“To rot.”
Taesan spat out with a distorted face.
It’s like this after all.
His face was miserable. Half of his lower body was melted and even his internal organs were oxidized so he couldn’t feel anything inside.
If I didn’t have the Pain Blocking skill I would have screamed loudly.
“I lost.”
It is an opponent that cannot be guaranteed to win even under perfect circumstances. There was no way he could overcome it in a half-death state.
[Your HP has become 0. Invulnerability has been activated. force for 1 minute
survive.]
A system window blocks your view. Tae-san puts it away with an annoyed face.
“Let’s go for a bit. Hey guys .. hey guys.
Fortitude is a reprieve from death not recovery. There is no way to recover so you will die on your own in a minute.
The apostle perhaps aware of this calmly watched from the side of Lee Tae-yeon’s corpse.
Taesan looked up at the sky. Monsters were still constantly popping out of the huge cracks.
“Useless bastards.”
Taesan frowned.
Hard difficulty Alone difficulty the only player in the world. What does it mean to say yes?
All of them were weaker than Taishan on the easy difficulty level. To put it bluntly if there were only two Taesans mankind would be able to survive longer than this.
“It’s just those who are so focused on clearing that they haven’t been able to properly build up their strength.”
However Taesan also has its limits. There was definitely a limit to how strong each difficulty level could be and he was an Easy difficulty player. given limit line
He became stronger but in the end he couldn’t overcome the limits of his stats.
“It’s like shit. really.
Taesan gnashed his teeth.
It was unfair.
If only I hadn’t chosen this mode then.
At least if you chose normal mode.
I wouldn’t have died like this.
He would have been able to win even against the apostles.
Everything works with just one choice
It happened. He hadn’t vomited it out but his insides were contorted and full of rage.
Why are you so weak even after choosing normal mode or hard mode?
Why did you clumsily move through the labyrinth and only gain such meager strength?
If they only followed half of Mount Tai mankind would be victorious.
“•••••• Is it okay?”
Taesan smiled bitterly.
It’s already past anyway and he
that was chosen There is no point in blaming others. Let go of your emotions.
Humanity ends here.
Even after this players will continue to appear but they cannot do anything without even a city. In fact it was no exaggeration to say that mankind was destroyed.
As he calmly accepted death something caught his eye.
what?
Lee Tae-yeon’s right hand was holding something. A tightly clenched fist is
I know it’s not normal.
And Sado was next to Lee Tae-yeon’s body.
It’s like defending something.
“Grunt.”
Taesan crawls with her arms. As Taishan draws closer the apostle tries to kill him.
“Stay still.”
[You have activated your last chance. You can use one skill without any condition. This skill cannot be activated for one year.]
[You activated a simple time stop. Time within 100m around you stops for 2 minutes.]
Taesan crawled on the ground and arrived at Lee Taeyeon’s corpse. She opened her right hand and saw a dark stone.
••••••check.
[The gastrolith that Ouroboros vomited]
[The stone of the god who governs the cycle of all things.]
[Only once. One person can turn back time.]
[Unused state.]
what’?
turn back time At that sentence Tae San’s head stopped.
no way••••••
turn back time? I wondered why Lee Taeyeon had this but it quickly disappeared.
Taesan stared blankly at the bezoar.
[Big!]
The sky splits and a monster pops out.
The power felt from the monster that covers the sky itself is more than an apostle.
It’s probably hard for Taesan to win even if he’s perfect.
food.
Taesan laughed and clenched his fists.
See you next. kid.”
[Use the item.]
[Time interference.]
The world turns upside down.
The perishing world disappears.
Instead what you see is an old one-room.
Taesan’s pupils dilate.
“••••••This is it.”
An old fashioned computer. Dirty duvet. The fiddle of a mosquito stained the wall.
This place is in memory.
Before everything collapsed when the world was still the world we knew. Back when the status window was a joke.
It was the one room he lived in.
“Status window.”
I put the words that I always put in my mouth. but nothing pops up
see the body His body was dry but his whole body was full of muscle. He had no choice but to train himself to survive in the terrible labyrinth.
However his current body was that of an ordinary man weak and weak.
her.
Taesan burst out laughing.
It became clear.
He returned to his former world.
“Delivery!”
The delivery man shouts loudly at the door of the studio. After a while the door opens and a man appears.
thank you.
“Uh uh. yes… …
The delivery man trembled for a moment.
The man’s eyes were very calm.
It was like a high priest who had been practicing for a long time.
The man calmly asks the delivery man who stares blankly at him.
“Hasn’t the calculation already been done?”
Ah yes. you’re right. bon appetite.
The delivery man comes to his senses and leaves in a hurry. A man comes in with a pizza box.
A smile forms on the man’s lips when he opens the box.
“How much pizza is this?”
I don’t even remember. When you carefully cut a piece and put it in your mouth the taste of cheese and toppings overflows.
taste of civilization. I was thrilled. There was no time to make pizza in a world that was perishing. As the only thing he ate was the corpse of the monster and potatoes this moment was so precious.
man. Taesan chewed and ate each piece. After eating four pieces like that I gradually felt full.
“Whoa.”
The boat is full. While waiting for the pizza the grasp of the situation was over.
‘There was an item that could turn the time.’
There were really all kinds of things in the labyrinth but this was unexpected.
If you look at what he doesn’t know about Easy Difficulty it must be an item unique to Earl Difficulty. Considering the equipment Lee Taeyeon used it wasn’t ridiculous.
Taesan had a puzzled face.
“Why didn’t you write it until the end?”
Since he had this means he must have said something to him at the end.
However I couldn’t figure out why he didn’t use it and cherished it before being killed by the apostle. If he knew her she would have run away from her.
“Thanks to you I got it.”
Consumable items are unbound the moment they die. Thanks to this she was able to get her item after Taesan died.
“I don’t know.”
But now it was his.
Taesan looked at his watch quietly.
‘January 1 2020.’
Exactly when the new year begins
The sky split and a monster appeared.
And now it’s December 31 2019. 11:30 PM.
In the next 30 minutes the world changes.
Taesan suddenly recalled the memory of that time.
In a world where monsters appear the system window said.
that the world would perish
that a monster would appear.
but i will give you a chance
go.
Build up your strength in the labyrinth and save your world yourself.
Easy Normal Hard in confusion and fear. And the Alone difficulty appeared as an option.
Everyone was confused but made a choice. It was because that was the only way to escape from the perishing world.
It is very rare to choose a place that is difficult for a sudden choice. Taesan had chosen the easy difficulty.
It was also his weakness.
‘You’re a useless worm.’
It was something he had heard from his parents since childhood.
Usually parents are the ones who believe in and nurture their children but Taesan was different. To Tae-san’s parents he was nothing more than a stress reliever.
I was subjected to violence from an early age. He often ate only one meal a day and abusive language was commonplace. He really would have died had it not been for the help of the merchants who took pity on him.
Every day you hear why you were born and that you are useless to anyone
was
In such an environment Taishan shrank. Like they said they thought they were useless and worthless.
‘I didn’t know my talent.’
In the labyrinth where he risked his life Tae San bloomed his talent.
He was stronger than anyone else.
It was a miraculous existence that surpassed players on Easy difficulty but on Hard difficulty. It was Taesan who broke the basic concept that the limit of skill according to difficulty is clear.
Taesan checked his watch.
58 minutes.
2 minutes ahead.
he went out The night sky with nothing but the moon standing tall was beautiful. He even lost his memory of seeing the sky like this.
1 min.
In today’s world everyone must be counting the time. Wishing you a happy new year and hoping that everything will work out.
30 seconds.
Unfortunately at the same time as the New Year
is collapsing
15 seconds.
A foreshadowing is seen.
Cracks form in the dark sky. Such a small crack that only a very discerning person would not notice.
5 seconds.
jjoong
A mighty sound resounds in the world. The width of the crack grows so that even they can see it.
A murmur is heard from all directions.
Didn’t you hear something?
“Who sells fried dumplings?”
and 1 second.
The world collapses.
In the world collapsing Taesan looked up at the sky alone.

The crack expands. No one is now unaware of the anomaly. Everyone screams and looks up at the sky.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
rumble… … .
A monster appeared through the rift
all.
The black monster raised its reptilian hand over the crack and looked down at the ground.
I was just embarrassed then but now I know. That’s a Class B monster. It was a weak monster that a normal player could deal with without difficulty.
People who don’t know that get scared and start running away. But there is no safe place on earth. And the place to go was not a safe place either.
‘It’s been a while.’
Taesan’s prediction hit the system window
cover this view
[hello.]
“Uh huh?”
what?
Those who were running away are also stopped by the sudden window. As if their bewilderment had nothing to do with it the system window continued to appear.
[Your world is destroyed by invaders. The weapons you’ve been working hard on are of no use to them.]
Neither guns nor nuclear bombs worked on the monsters. they’re from another dimension
water. To attack we also had to obtain power from another dimension.
[But don’t worry.]
[A merciful being who has pity on you wants to give you a chance.]
Taesan was possessed by a laugh.
‘What a compassionate thing.’
I still don’t know the reality but I roughly noticed it.
That is not a benevolent being. He was just a crazy existence.
[I will give you a choice.
is. Choose where you want! Enter the labyrinth. Clear it and gain strength.]
[And come back save your world.]
A choice appears in front of Taesan.
Level up with skill
