Chapter 8

YuWon's words were silent for a while.

Soon, he opened his mouth and said with a smile.

"He's right, too."

The Administrator swept his beard away.

Soon after, he leaned down and aligned his vision with YuWon.

"You're probably the first person to kill Lackey in tutorial two. Oh, by the way, I've never seen anything like this before. (Laughs)

The Administrator laughed strangely.

It seemed ridiculous to understand what had happened belatedly.

YuWon was right.

Eventually, the Administrator accepted YuWon's private meeting and learned Lakey's secret.

As a result, the Administrator killed Lakey with his own hands.

Just like YuWon wanted.

"It's definitely a great achievement, even if I didn't do it myself."

Lakey's death was inherently unthinkable.

Lakey was an interim administrator who managed the tutorial on behalf of the Administrator. Such strength of Lakey could not be helped even if all the tutorial participants rushed in.

If I have to compare it, it's close to the top ranker.

That's exactly how Lakey died.

Although it borrowed the Administrator's hand, it was clearly YuWon's plan and performance.

"Thank you."

"Then what do you want? I think I already got a lot of points. Let's see, the reward is...."

Administrator is lost in thought.

Since it was the first time Lakey's death, he seemed to be worried about compensation for a long time.

YuWon waited for the Administrator's decision.

[It's been about five minutes.]

The administrator, who was sitting down and lost in thought, hit his knee and got up.

"That's what it's gonna be like."

The Administrator reached out his palm to YuWon.

"Hand contact."

It was often used to exchange points in tutorials and towers.

However, there was no reason for the Administrator, who oversees the tutorial system, to stick out his palm to give points.

And it's the same with other ordinary skills.

Why would you do that?

Administrator hands out.

YuWon held his hand without knowing the meaning.

At that moment.

With a series of messages, YuWon's body was blue and disappeared.

'What…?'

YuWon's eyes opened wide.

The Administrator smiled softly at YuWon's facial expression.

"Well, I'll see you again when the third tutorial is over. I've got to go get rid of the lower ones from now on.

Kugugugugu-.

Once again, the inside of the subway shook.

He disappeared, tearing up the space as loud as his appearance. YuWon looked at the direction in which the Administrator disappeared and checked the skill just in case.

"S+rank grade skills huh?."

It was one of the 'power' that the Administrator had.

"What the hell is this in the tutorial?"

I didn't expect this kind of skill no matter how much I killed Lakey.

I would be satisfied with a skill of grade A, or just an item.

Authority of the Administrator.

It was the kind of skill YuWon had never heard of before.

"The dominion over Mana....'

Mana was everything in the tower.

Naturally, the power to deal with the mana is also the biggest criterion for dividing the strong and the weak.

You can rule the mana.

Literally, it was an ability that was not lacking to be called 'power'.

"I can't make good use of it yet."

The kind of skill I've never dealt with before.

But I was well aware of the use of these skills.

Rather than having superior power in a single skill, any skill can be incorporated well to further enhance the overall ability of the user.

These skills vary in utility depending on the degree of proficiency.

Should I at least thank the Olympus?

Shrugged, Shua-.

A blue sphere gathered upward with open palms.

The sphere did not converge smoothly, but continued to change its shape unevenly. It was a rebuttal that Mana has yet to properly comply with the situation.

It was an immature form of 'manapo'.

"Manapora in Tutorial Two."….'

YuWon looked at Manapo on his palm.

be in poor shapeBut this was definitely Manapo.

YuWon's Mana Stat is only 26.

Even that figure was obtained using both random and two free stat points obtained from hunting Mamworms.

Manapo was a technique that required more than 40 mana stats and quite high-level mana control.

Although such a manapo is unstable, it made it with only 26 horsepower stats.

YuWon's mana control was also due to its superiority, but it would not have been possible without the correction effect of "Mana's owner."

Boom!

Eventually, the unstable manapo exploded on YuWon's palm.

The force inside the burst Manapo spread in all directions, resulting in cuts on the nearby floor.

Squeeze.

YuWon clenched his fist.

"It's okay, this one."

YuWon's goal was not just to pass the tutorial safely.

But it was to climb the tower, become a ranker, and gain wealth and strength.

'But this is not enough.'

Outer Gods were not lacking in the word omnipotence.

In order to fight them, simply regaining the power of the past was not enough to follow-up was not enough.

I needed more cards than I do now.

More.

More!

* * *

After taking care of Lacky and receiving compensation from the Administrator.

There were about 14 hours left before the complete end of tutorial 2.

What YuWon has done so far has been a series of hunting.

Worms existed anywhere underground in the building, not just inside the largest underground subway.

YuWon traveled all over the underground to hunt worms. Earthworm is the only monster that appears in tutorial 2, so there was no other choice.

When the tutorial for number 2 was almost over.

"Thirteen hours of achievement."

YuWon grabbed a mom worm and reached level 21, raising five levels in 13 hours.

Worms are too much now.'

Level 26.

At this level, it would not be difficult for anyone to hunt Earthworms.

In the tutorial, when you hunt someone who is stronger and harder than you are, you get a big reward.

Naturally, hunting monsters that were much weaker than themselves, the level-up was bound to be that slow.

'But fortunately, we're almost done with tutorial two.….'

"The remaining time is an hour."

YuWon decided to go back up slowly.

After all the time, when the tutorial 2 is over, another reward is given inside the safe zone.

I don't know for sure, but someone outside the safe zone might be missing compensation.

That's right.

YuWon climbed up from the basement and headed to the ground.

It had already been a day outside, and it had been dark, and it had been evening.

And what you see there.

"What's that?"

Inside the safe zone that no longer shrinks.

Within the large circle were two huge groups divided into halves.

People were shouting at each other over a topic.

"So let's just wait a little bit! Hongdae has come to this point, so how can the government stay still? One more day and I'm sure...."

"Stop fuckin' me! The world has changed. Not just Hongdae, all of them!"

"How do you believe that?"

Haven't you heard the explanation? What area is this, didn't you hear? Do you think it's just here?"

"Even so, it's almost time, isn't it? Why do you have to do this?"

"If there's two, wouldn't there be three or four? Do you think you'll be safer next time? What if all of this safety zone suddenly disappears? It could be dangerous enough to barely get the food there by then, right?"

"Oh, that's enough. Let's pack up the next food supply tank. Who's going to go? We're running out of time!"

People were fighting.

And the group of fights was divided into two categories.

The one who accepted this world and the one who did not.

The weak and the relatively strong.

The accepted side wanted to bring food into the safe zone.

You have to get food from convenience stores and restaurants to avoid Earthworms on the ground.

"Don't be so upset. They're all going to die anyway, and we're going to be able to live a lot."

"There's no such thing as that! If we live, we live together!"

"So you want to stay like this and die together or what?"

People were fighting over bringing food.

And in there, each of them made a group, and some of them even looked pretty close to each other if they had already teamed up.

'I can see why that happened.'

People packed into a huge safe zone.

There was only one reason why that scene happened.

Too many survived.

Through tutorials one and two, zombies died and people who should have been killed in competition among people survived.

The end of such a cull will not change no matter how hard YuWon tries.

People who die die die.

People who live survive.

That was the rule of the tutorial, and it didn't change in the tower.

"Uh, uh, there!"

"People?"

"Isn't that the guy out there?"

People who found YuWon walking from afar appeared.

YuWon walked to safety with a bag on his back. People were surprised and worried that there were people outside the safe zone.

YuWon walked towards the safe zone with the eyes on him.

Is it because they hunted quite a few worms?

There was no worm that should have attacked YuWon earlier.

So close to the safe zone.

Wiggle-.

'That's right.'

There was still a worm left.

Something wriggled under YuWon's feet.

And some astute people who saw it shouted.

"There, down there!"

"It's dangerous!"

Earthworms rose from the floor to eat YuWon.

But already, the number of Earthworms YuWon caught was over four digits.

Even though it's a surprise attack on the ground, not underground.

Quack-!

Ooddeuk-.

It was not that difficult to crush Earthworms that rose through the ground in time.

Thanks to a 33-pound muscular stat, Earthworm quickly lost its breath as its head was crushed without much cutting.

The eyes are on YuWon.

[Remaining time: 00:05:12]

YuWon checked the rest of the time and said,

"Keep talking about what you've been talking about. Never mind."
