Chapter 13

* * *

100 points for one.

It was never cheap.

But at this point, YuWon was the only one selling integers that were not even sold in stores.

"…what if you don't have the money?"

YuWon raised the corners of his mouth at Kim Myung-hoon's brazen question.

"It doesn't matter how. As long as it's not delayed. Whether you borrow it from someone else or sell it to Lakey, that's fine."

"Do you sell items?"

"Is that possible?"

People who were in despair because of the lack of points were agitated one by one.

People all passed tutorials 1 and 2 and had a certain amount of points.

The point was power. And it wasn't easy to hunt without using points in tutorial 3.

Naturally, people started hunting by consuming points, and they didn't have many points.

But there was another way to get points.

"I don't care if I sell items or stats. I'll sell the whole number if I get the points."

People hesitated at YuWon's words.

You get points by selling your items and stat? If that happens, the integer could be obtained immediately, but the power was bound to be weak.

Considering the next tutorial, the loss of points equals the loss of power.

I'd rather....'

It's better to force him to take it out.

People's eyes glistened with greed one by one.

And Kim Myung-hoon was in front of them.

"That's funny."

YuWon looked at Kim Myung-hoon.

He was looking at the essence in the box YuWon collected.

"You're gonna kill and steal someone else who's not here, and you're gonna pay me to sell it? Do you think people here are convinced of that now?"

"What if he didn't steal it?"

"That can't be possible. YuWon, as I said before, this is a jungle jungle. Do you still think that paying for what you have will work?"

YuWon nodded at Kim Myung-hoon's words.

That was right.

There is no law in this tutorial yet. When they complete the tutorial and climb to the tower, there are certain rules of their own, but at least this tutorial should be called lawless.

Kim Myung-hoon grinned and looked around the people gathered around YuWon.

"And if you sacrifice yourself, there are a few people who can live here right now, aren't you being too selfish? Huh? Don't you think so?"

People nodded at the words one by one.

YuWon had more than a thousand integers at the very least.

That number saved more than half of the people here. Then you don't have to fight to kill each other and take what you have.

Only one, YuWon, has to sacrifice.

"That's funny."

Kim Myung-hoon looked at a person who laughed at his words.

The woman who walked with YuWon.

It was the lead role.

"Killed and robbed? Is that what you're saying now?"

"What are you?"

"You don't even remember? I refused to go with him, and he tried to kill me right away."

Following the lead role, Sungchan came forward.

"And as you said, if YuWon had taken someone else's essence, he would have taken ours, too. It's not funny how a dung bastard is dirty to a normal person."

"Oh, was it you?"

Kim Myung-hoon smiled.

I remembered.

I don't know the name, but I remember suggesting five people to be with me. Seemed friends, they refused to be together because they were wary of unfamiliar groups.

So I tried to kill him.

I killed two, but I missed three by mistake.

"So what? What are you three gonna do?"

Kim Myung-hoon raised his hand.

Then, many people around moved.

Crowds of people.

Up to 50 people have narrowed the siege around YuWon.

Kim Myung-hoon looked elated.

"No matter how good he is at cutting, what can he do by himself? He's the one who ran away from you after all that?"

"You don't know anything about this guy."

"You're freaking out."

Let's put down the hand that Kim Myung-hoon raised.

"Kill them all."

Chaang, Chang-!

Dozens of people took out weapons such as spears and knives and began to rush at YuWon.

And at that moment.

"Seon."

Swoosh.

YuWon got up from his seat.

"…over."

Whoosh!

* * *

The blood fountain rose.

For a moment, Kim Myung-hoon did not understand what had happened.

'What happened… '….'

The accident froze in the blood that rose up and fell down.

That wasn't YuWon's blood, obviously.

People who rushed to kill YuWon.

Their throats were cut off and their blood sprouting up.

For a moment, YuWon's words came to mind in Kim Myung-hoon's head.

"Don't cross the line."

What YuWon said when the third tutorial started.

At the time, I laughed at him for saying something nice.

But it wasn't.

I don't think the line is....'

I felt a chill.

Have I been thinking about the same situation since then?

While the question came to my mind for a moment, the group's movement toward YuWon faltered.

"What, what, what is he...."

"What did you do?"

They were also wielding knives against monsters.

However, the necks of those who crossed the line were cut like sorghum to see how YuWon moved.

I had to be scared to run.

"That's true."

YuWon looked at the people who fell to the floor.

There was less than 20 minutes left before the gate was activated.

Now really, almost everyone has gathered around here.

"It's a jungle jungle here. Laws and rules don't exist. That's why it's harder to protect than to have something."

YuWon, who said so, picked up some integers from the box he put down on the floor.

"The conditions are not different."

YuWon was talking.

"One hundred points. As long as you pay the right price, I'll sell you the whole number. Anyone who wants to live, come in here with permission."

I'm confident that I can protect this.

It's so clear.

Kim Myung-hoon gritted his teeth.

Many of these people were frightened by only one person.

I couldn't admit it, and I was furious at the fact that I was frightened by YuWon.

"What if you don't like it?"

"If you don't like it, you don't have to buy it. I'm not forcing you. But you don't want to live, and if you come over here…"

YuWon looked at the bodies lying on the floor.

"-It's all gonna die."

"What the hell are you doing, Shifal! Go kill him! Kill him!

Kim Myung-hoon shouted as if he were going all out.

He seemed to have taken control of the pack quite well.

The first person to move was his friend Lee Ji-hoon.

And starting with Lee Ji-hoon, the crowd began to move toward YuWon again.

YuWon shrugged his shoulders.

"I needed something like this."

I was expecting this to happen.

Everyone gathered to take away each other's essence. Naturally, more people were forced to take the essence away than those who wanted to pay the points.

Number three tutorial.

The most important thing on this stage, where you can get the most points in the tutorial, was not to collect many integers but to protect them.

And to do that....

[Lower Mana Sword will be activated]

It was necessary to show clearly.

The power of an individual to tap on a group.

* * *

Square angle.

Tuk, tuk-.

A cut head flew up and fell to the floor.

The inventory pouch he was carrying on his cut hair also disappeared. Naturally, dozens of integers contained in it were also destroyed.

Kim Myung-hoon's party, which had been rushing fiercely, faltered.

This was, like, no match.

Knock, knock.

Tuk, tuk-.

The heads that fell on the floor rolled around.

The blood on YuWon's knife fell to the floor, and the whole area around YuWon's circle was filled with blood.

More than 20 people have already died.

Kim Myung-hoon's spine has cooled.

What is this?….'

I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

At the same time, cut off the neck while avoiding a knife that is stabbed behind and beside the back.

I couldn't see how he swung the knife or moved it properly.

An individual who beats dozens of people.

I thought it only comes from movies and cartoons.

But then, it was right in front of me.

'I was forgetting.'

Level 11.

It was on its own level now.

What kind of world this is.

Kim Myung-hoon's power in the world has been a fist.

After becoming an adult, Kim Myung-hoon came to the wider world and learned the power of the "group."

No, maybe I've known it for a long time.

No matter how strong an individual is, it's impossible to beat the power of the majority. That was a fact that I knew a long time ago, since I was a child.

But this world was different.

A world where levels, stats, items and skills exist.

This world was like a game.

The existence of high levels, good items, and stats cannot be helped no matter how many hundreds of users of the low level attack.

"Oh, my God...."

Jabak-.

Kim Myung-hoon unwittingly stepped back to move away from YuWon.

By this time, no one was attacking YuWon.

You can't beat that.

Even if it was one, the size was different in the first place.

No matter how loose the hound is, it is impossible to knock down the dinosaur.

You have to run away.

The moment the idea took over the mind.

'The line…'

A line drawn around YuWon was seen.

It was all covered in blood and blurred, but one thing was for sure.

Since the fight began, YuWon hasn't stepped out of that line.

'I'm sure only those who came into that line died.'

The bodies lying on the floor were proof.

YuWon did not hesitate to cut down anyone who crossed the line.

On the other hand, the others did not bother to move and touch.

I felt relieved.

I'm alive.

At least he didn't get inside that line.

I'll kill you if you get in the line.

Which means I won't kill you if you don't come in....

Oh, my God!

"...?"

Kim Myung-hoon looked up.

(sighs)

Blood ran down my forehead. When I raised my hand and touched my forehead, the spot on my forehead was empty.

It felt like time had stopped.

In the slow passage of time.

Kim Myung-hoon looked at YuWon.

Obviously YuWon wasn't coming out of that circle.

'What happened… '….'

The accident did not continue any longer.

My body staggered, and my view of YuWon turned upside down.

The world looked blurry as the sky and the earth flipped upside down. It was then that the power that supported the body was exhausted.

Flop.

Kim Myung-hoon collapsed on the floor.

Kim Myung-hoon, who barely raised his head halfway before the ceremony was broken, clearly saw it.

In the blurred vision.

"Did you think you'd be all right there?"

That's right.

The steps are one step closer.

YuWon looked around and raised the corners of his mouth.

"I've seen your face."

YuWon came out of the circle.
