Episode 507:
SSS-class monster Asmodeus.
He, who was a porter, was killed by that disaster-like monster.
When you return and get a new life.
At the time, I thought it was just compensation for living a life as a loser.
At the moment of death, he achieved the awakening he had longed for his entire life, and gained new skills after meeting the King of the Underworld.
Awakening and Return New skills.
Such a miracle happened in just one day.
I felt like I was the main character in a novel.
I needed a goal to live a new life.
Is it because of my past life as a loser?
Becoming the best player.
To become the best player in New Korea and the best player in the world.
To get revenge on Asmodeus, who sent the Hanbit Guild party and himself to their deaths.
At first, that was enough.
Thinking about it now, it was a really cute goal.
In the Earth called Middle-Earth, things are going on in secret that you don’t even know about.
In the Abyss, called the Underworld, the great dukes are fighting for power.
In the heavenly world called the upper world, the Absolute and its owners could devour the lower world and the middle world at any time.
He is only from Middle Earth.
In that place, which was only one of many dimensions, beings from the upper and lower worlds tried to become the best among those they called bugs.
It was pathetic.
After meeting the Archduke, he learned that various powers exist.
I learned that the awakened people’s skills are related to their powers.
He learned that his ‘predation’ was the power of the King of the Underworld.
I learned about the existence of doppelgängers in the world of images.
As I grew up, I learned more and the responsibility for ‘remembering’ came with it.
It could have been avoided.
He could have acted as if it was none of his business whether the New Korea was eaten by demons or the lower world was eaten by the upper world.
The Underworld King’s plans have nothing to do with me.
He could have simply enjoyed the power given to him now.
But as it happens.
Taehyun’s personality was not like that.
This may be due to the past of being despised as a non-awakened person.
Maybe that was why King Hagye chose Taehyun.
Because self-love is strong, expectations for growth are high.
They wanted someone who had a strong love for humanity and could bear the burden of responsibility.
A human being who is about to die upon awakening.
I may have read those values from Taehyun, who was once of the same species.
no.
‘It’s uncertain.’
So I thought I should meet him in person and listen to him.
‘The reason why I regressed.’
He is already so great that he is called the King of the Underworld.
Directly explain why you passed on responsibility instead of taking the lead yourself.
‘I have to ask.’
I promised.
It was the moment when a second goal emerged after regression.
* * *
A prelude to a racial war.
Turf war.
I was busy trying to resolve the issues that were immediately in front of me.
He made a contract by subduing the princes of the lower world one by one.
Using the absolutes of the upper world, he gained a new power called divine power.
He risked his life to fight Lucifer, who is said to be the strongest in the underworld.
In the process, a piece of the One God awakened, lost a comrade, and acquired the power of divine magic.
and.
It was downgraded.
The growth karma that had accumulated in the body was scattered to pieces.
The princes who made the contract became weaker than ever before.
At best, it was a poor result for completing a huge quest called a turf war.
‘So do you regret it?’
I asked myself this in front of Cody Cruz’s tombstone.
no.
It is a path that has already been chosen and taken.
I had no intention of going back.
I didn’t even want to regret it.
Just for now.
‘Complete the race war to meet the King of the Underworld.’
He decided to focus on solving the last puzzle he couldn’t complete.
I will meet the King of the Underworld.
We will use everything available in the process.
However.
‘I have no intention of being used and abandoned.’
That was why.
Michael, who can be said to be the final enemy of the race war.
The reason I didn’t accept his sweet offer was.
“I think I left out something important.”
I no longer avoided his gaze.
“Why am I growing up?”
Once from Lucifer.
One from Michael.
I overcame two mental problems in a short period of time.
[….]
At the confident question, the master of the Heavenly World was silent for a moment.
The reason Taehyun didn’t take his offer in stride was, of course, because he could see the various emotions that passed through his eyes in a short period of time.
[You probably know that the King of the Underworld has the same roots as you.]
“I know.”
That he too was a human being who accepted an alien power.
[He has led several racial wars and clashed forces many times.]
He said that at first he also looked down on the existence of humans, but now he acknowledges them.
And Taehyun.
[Shinsalja. He resembles that arrogant man. That may be why it was chosen as the key.]
“Didn’t the masters of the heavenly world follow the King of the Upper World?”
[You are asking a question that cannot be answered. That too is something we will find out when the racial war is over.]
These things usually happen.
[There isn’t much time.]
“What?”
[It is none of my business what you choose. Actually, I was planning on doing this from the beginning.]
Huaaaaa.
Michael’s brilliance dwelled in Taehyun.
Tiring.
[The countdown for the quest ‘Tribal War’ begins.]
[719 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds….]
An incomprehensible countdown has begun.
[This is the amount of time you can stay in Middle Earth.]
That is the maximum amount of time that can change the vision of the owners of Heaven.
He told me to finish what I had planned to do until then.
Personal space began to collapse.
Tiring.
[Skill Gate Apostle (E) has been activated. The target is specified.]
[Coordinates are specified. Movement begins.]
[I have one piece of advice.]
While the skill was being forcibly activated, Michael’s voice was heard.
[Connecting dimensions does not simply mean an increase in existence. Race war is not limited to the upper or lower world.]
‘What. ‘Do you mean it?’
I tried to comfort my mouth that wouldn’t open.
[I hope you have a pleasant trip.]
With those words, the space completely collapsed.
* * *
Tiring.
[Awakening grade is adjusted to E.]
[All skill grades are adjusted to E.]
[Use of unique skill Predation (E) is restricted.]
[Skill use is restricted.]
[Physical stats are restricted. ]
I opened my eyes while listening to the message on the status window.
The air familiar with the summer world.
Only this time, I knew I had arrived at the dungeon I was aiming for.
I saw Tolkien passed out at my feet.
“Zelga.”
Hi Kraken.
Taehyun called the name of the dungeon owner.
If someone had appeared in my area, he would have shown his face a long time ago, but for some reason he still hasn’t shown up.
‘First, understand the situation.’
I opened the status window.
[Physical Stats]
Name: Taehyun
Kim Age: 28
Grade: E(???)
Strength: 300 Stamina: 300 Speed: 300 Magic Power: 300 Spiritual Power: 300 Charisma: 1400 Fatigue:
60%
Remaining Magic Power: 120/300
“What is this? …”
Taehyun couldn’t help but be embarrassed by the shame that appeared before his eyes.
It has not yet fully absorbed the pieces of the One God and has not received proper maintenance.
In order to come to Earth, he was downgraded to Class E due to his own will.
however.
‘Compared to the old E grade, this is a ridiculous body figure.’
The reason Taehyun was embarrassed was because of his age.
Apparently, the age that was written as 23 the last time I checked has now become 28.
This means that 5 years have passed without you realizing it.
‘Did the flow of time get mixed up when I came over?’
We know that great forces of existence affect the flow of time.
Even though they deliberately lowered their existence by receiving help from the Elven.
Even then, it seemed like there was a gap of 5 years.
“I’m embarrassed.”
Five years is not a small amount of time.
Rather, it is surprising that the current dungeon remains intact even after all this time.
If SSS level players form a party, it won’t be very difficult to subdue a fallen Xelga.
Taehyun’s gaze turned from his physical abilities to the quest.
[Quest]
Race War (???) – ??? (30%)
Countdown (???) – (???)
[718 hours 57 minutes 59 seconds… 58 seconds….]
In a moment An hour had passed.
I remembered what Michael said unilaterally.
‘Is it like the promised time?’
Taehyun did not accept the offer.
He just said that he would do what he had to say and that he would do his best to prevent the heavenly masters from invading the lower world.
There was a high possibility that the quest called Countdown was created appropriately and imprinted on the status window.
It seemed like it wouldn’t be difficult to register something in the form of a skill, even if you were an archduke.
‘not bad.’
Time was gained to guarantee the safety of the summer.
It’s hard to believe what he says, but for now, I have no choice but to finish my business here and return within a month.
‘Hmm… the skill limit is as expected.’
‘Predation’ ‘Rage of the Deep Sea’ ‘Dragon’s Rage’ ‘Great Demon Water’ ‘Great Demonization’ ‘Saliva of the Demon King’ ‘Element of Origin’ ‘Ruler of Desire’ ‘Fairy’s Protection’ ‘Omen of Evolution’ ‘Great Skills such as ‘Devil’s Heart’, ‘True Blood’, ‘Heart of the Demon Beast’, ‘Heart of the Fallen Angel’, ‘Heart of the Fairy King’, ‘Absolute One – Horus’, and ‘Deceiver’ were impossible to use.
Among the main skills that can be used, the only ones that can be used are ‘Apocalypse’, ‘Memorize’, ‘Apostle of the Gate’, ‘Ataraxia’, ‘Eye of the Absolute’, ‘Eye of the Dream King’, and ‘High Speed Regeneration’.
Even though it is measured as E grade, the output seems to be poor, but it is a situation that has been experienced once in the commercial world.
‘The skills used for fusion will also be usable.’
I don’t know how much the level of players has grown over the past five years, but this should be enough for now.
“I came here to fight…”
No.
Even before I finished saying that.
“….”
I kept my eyes on the front for subtle signs of popularity.
Self. Sssss. Susssseu.
From afar, I felt faint footsteps.
A step that Taehyun would never have felt if he were an ordinary player.
‘Stealth…?’
Judging by his past level, he was skilled enough to be at least a SS grade player.
The problem is that Tae-hyeon feels a strange hostility from the being that is approaching him.
‘Where is he going… Well, once you catch it and try it, you’ll find out.’
dump.
I sat down and crossed my legs.
This is to catch the opponent off guard.
Five years have passed in a moment.
It was natural to be cautious in a situation that was not yet understood.
Very slowly, I channeled E-grade magic power into my body.
Fortunately, my senses were not rusty, and quite a bit of magical energy was flowing throughout my body.
This is a level that can be considered light body strengthening.
Tiring.
[Skill Dream King’s Eye (E) has been activated.]
Ssssss.
For a moment, my eyes turn pale red.
A hidden entity, whose identity had only been felt as a faint presence until now, has revealed itself.
He wore black robes from top to bottom, and his face was covered with a mask.
With the addition of a dagger held in his hand, it looked like a typical assassin.
In the past, this was an outfit often worn by assassin-type players and demons.
A little bit about the fabric and design.
‘It looks like a Hoosier.’
That’s when I thought about it.
“….”
“….”
Taehyun was sitting cross-legged and scanning the front with curious red eyes.
The eyes of the masked man, who was slowly approaching as if targeting prey, met in the air.
The masked man’s steps stopped.
“hi?”
Smiling awkwardly.
Tiring.
[Skill Ataraxia (E) has been activated. Specify the target.]
Taehyun was the first to greet me.
