Level 1 Player

Chapter 39 dark guild

Shoo woo woo!

Missiles launched from hundreds of kilometers away all at once rained down on the Joiners.

The joiners tried to scatter in all directions, but that didn’t work either.

This is because players equipped with a siege net fired long-distance skills at once.

Skills are flying from all directions and missiles are pouring down like rain from the sky.

There was no place for the joiners to hide.

Kyaaaah!

At that moment, the members of the golden wings roared in fury and soared into the sky.

Following him, about 1,000 members of the Joining tribe spread their wings all at once and soared into the sky.

Missiles equipped with a monster guidance function flew towards the members of the group who flew into the sky.

Fragile!

A golden lightning storm covered the sky.

Aaaaaaaaah!

According to the guidance function, the missiles that were flying towards the join group exploded continuously in the air.

A golden thunderstorm began to advance through guided missiles from all directions.

The faces of the players who witnessed the scene quickly darkened.

“That’s not the level of defense that a hero-grade monster can show!”

“Gold Eagle needs to be upgraded to Legendary!”

The United Nations Command was also outraged.

The UN carried out this operation and was sure of victory.

The power of players gathered from all over the world was enormous.

It was at a level where he could confidently win even if he collided with the Joining tribes head-on.

The problem was the mobility and tactics of the Joiners.

Very few players are capable of dogfighting.

The very few were also unfamiliar with air combat.

Accordingly, he planned an operation to cover the sky with a fire net of missiles.

According to the UN Command’s plan, the Joining tribes should have been scattered in all directions to avoid the missiles and rushed at the players.

Then it’s over.

The join tribes, whose escape route to the sky was blocked, could never defeat the players.

I thought that it would be best if the members of the join made a choice to soar into the sky.

The missile’s explosive power was not at a level that a hero-grade monster could withstand.

But the plan was quickly thwarted.

The group of joiners was too easily escaping the Hwanet.

A group of joiners who escaped the fire net escaped the players’ encirclement.

About 15,000 players had no choice but to stare blankly at the group of people who were fleeing the skies.

It was like a dog chasing chickens.

* * *

The JOIN people, who were attacked by mankind, began to run more wildly.

However, they were not scattered as defenseless as before. moved together as one.

In an instant, the entire island of Kyushu turned into hell.

Although the players moved to subdue the join tribe, the level of mobility was different.

When the players arrived, it was enough for the joiners to leave for another area.

There was also an opinion to increase mobility by dispersing the players. However, if you do that, there is a high probability that the players will be beaten by the joiners.

It’s been over a week since I’ve been chasing the backs of the joiners.In the end, the UN Command gave up subjugating the Join people.

Players could not stay on Kyushu Island forever.

Because the area occupied by monsters was not only on Kyushu Island.

Failed to subdue the join clan.

The implications of this event were quite significant.

Japan, which is not a weak country, economically or a powerful country in terms of quality and quantity of players, was robbed of its territory by monsters.

It was not that Japan was greedy for subjugation alone with pride as China did.

I called for help from all over the world.

As a result, the UN Allied Forces tried to subdue it, but in the end it was unsuccessful.

The Joiners took over the entire Kyushu region in an instant.

For Japan, it has completely lost one of the four islands that make up its country.

Not only did the national pride suffer, but it also took on huge economic losses and casualties.

Hyunseong headed to the player academy to pick up Lucia.

Today was the last day to meet Lucia.

It’s been 3 weeks already.

Lucia successfully passed both the theoretical and practical exams.

‘Now I don’t have to sneak into the dungeon anymore.’

In the meantime, when the player academy training was over, she had to go through the cumbersome procedure to pick up Lucia, cancel her employment, and then re-employ her inside her dungeon.

It’s cumbersome to be cumbersome, but I always had to be careful not to find out that Lucia didn’t have a player registration card.

But now those worries are over.

He, of course, was not completely relieved.

It was obvious that it would be strange for a level 1 player who had just completed the player academy training to suddenly enter a high level dungeon.

But it was solved by Hyunseong’s power.

Hyunseong had the right to delete the player’s dungeon entry history.

The reason that such authority was given was because there was a risk of attracting the attention of foreign player associations or large guilds if Hyunseong’s dungeon entry contents leaked out.

Simply put, the environment has been completed in which Hyunseong can openly commit corruption if he pleases.

‘Well, maybe they’re hoping that I’m doing something wrong.’

It is the Players Association that benefits from catching Hyunseong’s weakness.

Perhaps Hyunseong is waiting for him to commit corruption, such as stealing magic stones and skillbooks and selling them through unofficial routes, or abusing the right to delete dungeon access records to do back deals with huge guilds.

But Hyunseong had no intention of doing so.

He didn’t have to take any risk to earn a penny.

‘It is enough just to delete Lucia’s dungeon access record.’

Lucia sells both Mana Stones and Skill Books through her unique abilities.

There is no room for the player association to take the pod.

Hyunseong entered the player academy.

‘I don’t think it’s been a while since I graduated… … .’

It’s been over a year and a half already.

Hyunseong quickly found Lucia among the graduates.

In a place where there was only one Asian, Lucia, a westerner with platinum hair, had no choice but to stand out.

Hyunseong took a step towards Lucia.

‘what?’

However, Lucia’s surroundings were a bit noisy.

“As long as you join our guild, I will actively support you!”

“I will decline.”

“Oh, what a great opportunity this is, but you say no? You’ll hit the ground and regret it later!”“Even if I regret it, I do it, you don’t do it, do you? Leave me alone.”

A man in his mid-30s was holding Lucia.

“What happen?”

“It’s not a big deal. Let’s go.”

Lucia simply answered Hyunseong’s question and passed the man.

“Hey, don’t you mean my words?”

The man grabbed her Lucia’s shoulder and shouted.

“What is this doing? They say they don’t like it.”

Hyunseong stepped forward and tried to remove the man’s hand.

“What are you interfering with?”

The man raised his voice and pushed Hyunseong away.

But there was no way Hyunseong could be pushed away.

Hyunseong grabbed the man’s hand that was on Lucia’s shoulder.

He felt he struggled to resist.

It was not the level of ordinary people.

It seems he was a player. But he couldn’t stand Hyunseong’s power.

Hyunseong gave strength to the man’s hand, which he had been holding on, twisted helplessly.

“Aww!”

His wrist was grabbed and the man with his arm broken let out a scream.

“Lucia, who is this person?”

“He said he was a scout from a place called the Dark Guild.”

To Hyunseong’s question, Lucia answered with an expressionless face.

“Have you ever done anything bouncing?”

Hyunseong asked after blocking the surrounding sound with magic.

“no. I have maintained my grades in the mid-low range.”

It means you didn’t do anything big.

‘Then why are you trying to scout Lucia?’

If the opponent knows about Lucia’s real skills, they will try to take her away even if they are her.

However, there is no way that an unheard of guild called the Dark Guild knows about it.

“Aren’t you going to put this down right now? do you want to die?”

While Hyunseong was having a conversation with Lucia, a man with a broken arm rebelled by screaming a whale whale.

He tried to get his broken arm out with all his might, but it was just a pointless move.

“Do you know who I am and act like this?”

“So, do you know who I am and act like this?”

At Hyunseong’s words, the man’s face was distorted like a yacht.

“I belong to a dark guild! Which guild are you from?”

“I belong to the Players Association Inspection Team.”

At Hyunseong’s words, the man turned into a honey-eaten dumbass.

The Players Association Inspection Team is like a cop to the players.

“Are you a strong guild scout?”

“Yes.”

“The dark guild forcibly joins newbies who don’t like it, but?”

At Hyunseong’s question, the man frowned.

“Don’t bully people you don’t like, just go.”

Hyunseong released the man’s arm.

“You will definitely regret it.”The man who had regained his freedom looked at Hyunseong and said.

“What are the regrets? Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

Hyunseong moved her steps along with Lucia.

‘Damn it.’

The man looked at Hyunseong and Lucia’s back with a distorted face.

‘He told me to make it into a guild member by all means.’

The man’s mind became complicated when he remembered his boss’s orders.

* * *

‘This is the beginning.’

Hyunseong checked his gear and looked at the dungeon in front of him.

After awakening, he went in and out of countless dungeons.

But I’ve never been so nervous as today.

In the meantime, Hyunseong has mainly hunted in dungeons that are far inferior to his specifications.

But not today.

A heroic dungeon infested with monsters from the late 200’s to the early 300’s.

This was Hyunseong’s hunting ground today.

“Come in.”

At Lucia’s words, Hyunseong nodded and moved on.

“Will Baek Woo-shin be okay?”

“I’ve been training hard so far, so I’ll be able to solo enough. If you are in a dangerous situation, I will know right away, so you don’t have to worry.”

Lucia said, waving the exchange bracelet on her own wrist.

“You were aware that you had to train hard.”

The appearance of Lucia training Baek Woo-shin was so harsh that Hyunseong, who was watching, was surprised.

He pushed hard, saying that he couldn’t convey knowledge through conversation, so he would make his body remember.

Lucia, who pushed so hard, and Baekwooshin, who digested it all, were both monsters.

Hyunseong assigned a dungeon to Baek Woo-shin.

The reward for the achievement when you hunt a large number of high-level monsters alone is an increase in stats.

Hyunseong informed Baek Woo-shin of a dungeon where monsters that increase his physical strength and mental stamina appear.

If you solo there, you can acquire achievements and raise your stamina and mental strength stats.

However, unlike Hyunseong and Lucia, he had clear limitations.

The more you hunt, the more your level will rise, and eventually you will have no choice but to give up on your achievements.

“Of course I am aware of it. But every drop of sweat you shed during training is like a drop of blood you shed in real life. The more rigorous the training, the higher the chance of surviving Baek Woo-shin in the real world.”

“I don’t think Baek Woo-shin will have to worry about his survival while hunting.”

“Hunting in the dungeon is only part of the training.”

Hyunseong also agreed with Lucia’s words.

Because Lucia didn’t just train the white cow god.

The match between Hyunseong and Lucia was still ongoing.

“Can Baek Woo-shin take a stat?”

“It may be difficult right now, but I think it will be possible later. Mental strength stats are not just related to skills. After taking the elixir that the master gave you, aren’t you changing little by little?”

“It does. I wonder what the outcome will be if Baek Woo-shin invests all of his undistributed stats into his physical and mental strength.”

“Probably one of the toughest tanks in the world.”

Lucia answered in a tone full of confidence.

* * *

Hyunseong and Lucia entered the dungeon.

The inside of the dungeon consisted of tall bushes and swamps.

The name of the dungeon Hyunseong and Lucia entered was Crocodile Man Dungeon.

This is literally a dungeon infested with bipedal crocodiles.

Crocodiles live in packs just like normal crocodiles and humans.

Therefore, it was one of the hunting grounds that high-level players avoided.

Cheeky crunchy!

The environment was not so good.

There was a section in the swamp where the feet fell into a deep place suddenly in the middle.

It was an environment that could be sucked into a swamp if it made a mistake.

Fortunately, it was that he was wearing an item that could move like land in the water on his feet.

“There are enemies all around.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Lucia began to prepare for battle.

Crocodile men never fight head-to-head.

It hides in the depths of the swamp and suddenly attacks by surprise.

However, it was useless in front of Hyunseong, who has wild instinct skills.

Hyunseong and Lucia walked through the swamp.

Left!

Spear blades rose from under the swamp.

Hyunseong leaped into the air and swung his Dragon Blood Sword towards the bottom of the water.

Scratch!

The windows were cut off in an instant.

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

A stream of water flew from below the swamp.

Hyunseong was floating in the air.

Break!

Lucia’s block shield unfolded and defended the water streams that were heading towards Hyunseong.

‘It’s tricky.’

The Crocodile Man’s attack method, which hid under the swamp and attacked unilaterally, was not easy to respond to.

Fragile!

Hyunseong used Black Dragon’s Breath.

‘It doesn’t work.’

There didn’t seem to be any damage at all. However, the vast swampy area has absorbed most of the Black Lightning Dragon’s breath.

‘It’s the worst environment.’

It was an advantageous battlefield for Crocodilemen and one-sidedly unfavorable to Hyunseong and Lucia.

Hyunseong relied on his wild instinct skills.

In order to deal with the Crocodilemen who were hiding under the swamp, they had to rely on their skills rather than their eyes.

Left!

The spear blade rose again from the swamp.

Kwajik!

Hyunseong evaded the spear and thrust his dragon blood sword into the swamp.

I definitely felt pierced.

Hyunseong activated the Black Dragon’s Breath with the Dragon Blood Sword.

Left!

The corpse of a crocodile man floated above the swamp.

Hyunseong followed the path indicated by his Feral Instinct skill and swung his dragon blood sword while avoiding the pouring attacks in the swamp.

The fighting continued.Hyunseong moved frantically.

There was no room to think.

He instinctively avoided his body and swung his dragon blood sword.

How much time has passed?

The swamp was covered with the corpses of crocodile men.

“Phew!”

After confirming that there was no longer any flow of magical power, Hyunseong let out a sigh of relief.

“Was it worth it?”

At Lucia’s words, Hyunseong nodded his head.

“It’s definitely the weakest.”

Had it not been for the advantage of the terrain, he would have been able to hunt more easily.

Crocodile Man is one of the weakest of the hero class monsters.

As such, the attack and defense were weaker than expected.

However, hero grade monsters are hero grade monsters.

If it was a player suitable for the dungeon level, he would never have been able to cut off Crocodile Man’s breath with one blow.

Hyunseong realized that he had become incredibly strong.

From the situation where he almost died in the ship of the hero-grade monster, Blue Drake, he has now risen to the position of a player who hunts hero-grade monsters.

Of course, Crocodile Man and Blue Drake were different even if they were the same hero level monsters.

Because Crocodile Man was the lowest hero level monster and Drake was the highest hero level monster.

‘This is the beginning.’

Starting with Crocodile Man, hunt lower-level hero-grade monsters to accumulate achievements and raise stats.

Hyunseong is still growing rapidly.

He will grow rapidly in the future.

And if you do, one day you will become strong enough to hunt blue drakes alone.

Hyunseong continued hunting with Lucia.

Crocodile man hunting went smoothly.

The dungeon wasn’t the only swampy area.

Hyunseong and Lucia hunted the crocodile men who were wandering in the bush, and sometimes they hunted the crocodile men in the swamp by luring them to the land.

‘You get used to it quickly.’

Hyunseong made the most of his wild instinct skills.

In fact, passive skills such as wild instincts were difficult to train.

Because it is activated under certain conditions, it was difficult to arbitrarily train like an active skill.

However, Lucia said that if you keep increasing your proficiency, you can also use passive skills arbitrarily.

Of course, not all are possible.

Passive skills such as Thunder Dragon’s scales were impossible to use arbitrarily, and in fact, there was no need to do so.

However, it was possible to use skills such as wild instinct and survival instinct by satisfying the activation conditions arbitrarily through training.

Of course, it had to be accompanied by a lot of hard work.

‘It’s the best training ground.’

The Crocodile Man Dungeon was a hunting ground that was optimized for raising the proficiency of the Feral Instinct skill.

“The easy task of recruiting just one newbie fails, what are you good at?”

At the call of the guild leader, the deep guild scout Won Jung-seo bowed his head.

“If you’re going to do something like that, hit me right now!”

“That’s because the Players Association inspection team suddenly intervened… … .”

Won Jung-seo answered as if making an excuse.

“Players Association Inspection Team?””Yes.”

“What is the Players Association Inspection Team? For what reason do they interfere with our guild’s recruitment of newbies?”

“He seemed to be friendly with the target. And, crucially, the target doesn’t seem to want to join the guild… … .”

The guild leader tapped his chest as if frustrated by Won Joong-seo’s excuses.

“I should have talked about the terms and conditions first!”

“We talked a few times. Still, he refused.”

At Won Jung-seo’s words, the guild leader’s expression hardened.

“Did you say no after hearing the terms and conditions?”

“Yes.”

“Is the spawn already attached? Or is it not enough money?”

The guild leader muttered with a troubled expression on his face.

“That guild leader, why not just give up? A member of the Players Association audit team is stuck. What if something goes wrong?”

“How much does this cost you to give up? The water master told me to pick up the bitch and bring her back. First, let’s start with the identity of that player’s association audit team member.”

“all right.”

“Damn it… … .”

The guild chief’s expression distorted.

‘I thought it was easy.’

The dark guild is a guild that works in the shade rather than in the sun, taking care of the dirty work of large corporations and large guilds.

And among the bad things was player supply.

The existence of the player is one of the mysteries that even modern science cannot fully solve.

Why is the level up system suddenly popping up?

How the heck does the player use magic?

Is it possible to create players arbitrarily?

Some studies were conducted at the national level and some were conducted at the company level.

However, the results of the study were not so cool.

This is because it was difficult to conduct human experiments due to the ethics of modern civilization.

Crucially, it was difficult to find a player who would allow their bodies to be tested.

Most of the players are high-income earners.

Even if he goes out of work, he gets paid three times as much as an ordinary worker.

What is the pity of such a player that he will become a subject of human experimentation?

In the end, most of the official player research projects were canceled shortly after Cataclysm began.

But a few companies have continued to experiment informally.

It was because he couldn’t easily give up the enormous benefits of revealing the player’s secrets completely.

The main ingredient for informal experimentation is the player.

And the main business of the dark guild was player supply.

The target is mainly players without relatives.

In that respect, foreign players from a destroyed country were the best targets.

Even if he suddenly disappears, no one is looking for him or anyone to report him.

In many cases, the disappearance itself was not known at all.

There was no fear of falling behind, so the business of the dark guild had been cruising smoothly for a long time.

‘It is clear that the child in charge is thinking wrong.’

From the moment the target applied for player registration and entered the player academy, the broker contacted him and the dark guild moved.

The dark guild moved quite carefully as it was doing illegal things.

In fact, in a noisy situation like now, it was best to just give up on the target.

However, the person in charge picked it up and told me to bring the target.

It was not only used as a test object, but also had other black hearts.‘You bastard bastard.’

In my heart, I wanted to ignore it, but it was difficult to do so.

‘Once we do some research on him, something will come out.’

The guild leader hoped for the best possible result.

* * *

After finishing the hunt in the Crocodile Man Dungeon, Hyunseong went to see Baek Woo-shin with Lucia.

“Did you have any problems while hunting?”

Baek Woo-shin nodded vigorously at Hyunseong’s question and held out a bag full of magic stones and skill books.

“I earned this much!”

Baek Woo-shin said in a very excited voice.

Baek Woo-shin felt good.

It’s because he got far more mana stones than when he hunted with all the party members.

“we are here.”

Baek Woo-shin handed Hyunseong a bag containing magic stones and skill books.

“You don’t have to give it to me. This is Mr. Baek Woo-shin.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Baek Wooshin tilted his head.

“Follow me.”

Hyunseong took Baek Woo-shin to the auction house.

At the auction house, he sold the magic stones obtained by Wooshin Baek at the market price.

The skill book was put up on the auction house.

“This is money for selling magic stones. The money from selling the skillbook will not come in until the auction is over.”

Baek Woo-shin’s face brightened when he received an envelope packed with 10,000 won bills.

Baek Woo-shin did not accurately recognize the value of the money Hyunseong gave him.

But he was aware that the amount was higher than before.

Baek Woo-shin took out a handful of 10,000 won bills from the money envelope.

“Repay the favor.”

Baek Woo-shin was aware of the fact that the jewelry and books that Hyunseong gave him were extremely expensive.

He also knew that Hyunseong was the reason he was able to hunt in dungeons and earn money.

So, he handed over the money to express his gratitude.

“You can pay it back later. For now, leave it to your mother and sister.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Baek Woo-shin nodded his head.

“Thank you!”

Hyunseong gasped and burst into laughter.

“How about your new home?”

“good! Woohee likes it so much!”

Hyunseong moved Baek Woo-shin to the apartment next door where his mother and sister live.

It was intended for the convenience of Baek Woo-shin’s family, and it was also an insurance in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Baek Woo-shin always went home to eat dinner and slept at home.

Although he trusts the guards, it may be difficult for them to stop.

Even if this is not the case, the more devices that can protect the family, the better.

‘Because you never know how long the Japanese will be silent.’

Although the state was in a state of chaos due to the joining tribes, he did not know when the demonic beasts would come.

‘You like your mother and sister too.’

My mother and older sister were very fond of Baek Woo-hee, Baek Woo-shin’s younger sister.

“Tomorrow will be just like today.”

Baek Woo-shin nodded his head vigorously at Hyunseong’s words.
