Kill the Hero

1.

In 2020, when a player appeared in a game-changing world, people hoped things would get better. Players thought they could save the world.

However, the more time went by, the more frustrated and depressed the situation became, rather than getting better.

Especially since 2025, the last hope of ordinary people was shattered that they could deal with monsters with powerful modern weapons in the appearance of incorrect firearms.

Those who lost hope became violent, and the frequency of looting and arson began to increase.

In that situation, countries started a fierce competition to acquire more powerful items and better players.

In the process, the law was meaningless.

In a dungeon where nothing unusual happened, players did anything.

From some point on, it became routine for players in an alliance to betray or wage a blood-splatter battle over items.

An era has begun that cares more about post-hunting than it does about hunting.

Kim Woo-jin, who survived so fiercely in such an era as to be considered inferior, could not have known the importance of post-treatment.

‘As expected.’

Kim Woo-jin already knows that there are watchers around him when he confronts the Orc Champion.

‘There were those who dealt with the search parties as expected. ’

Furthermore, he also anticipated that the purpose of the watcher was not just surveillance.

There were no rumors about Kim Woo-jin stealing Orc Road's fangs from the Orc Champion.

There were no witnesses.

Even on Day 1, at least one party sent a watcher to find out what the Orc Champion is up to.

In other words, it was likely that there was someone who removed the witness.

Of course it wasn't for Kim Woo-jin.

‘If you want to hunt half the players in a dungeon, first remove the eyes. ’

It's just a group effort to hunt the players here.

However, it was nothing unusual for Kim Woo-jin.

It was already a normal day for him.

I have experienced these incidents boredly and have tried to cope with them boredly.

The reason Kim Woo-jin took time off after hunting down the Orc Champion was also to give the Watchers time to work.

“Yeah, how did you, uh... ”

It was frankly impossible for the prey to notice that it had fallen into a trap.

“Now, hold on! There seems to be some misunderstanding. ”

Because he was so embarrassed, he didn't even realize that he was doing something that wasn't right.

“Y-yeah, this is, like, this is... ”

The opponent rolls his head to make excuses, even though he knows he's trapped by Kim Woo-jin, even though a player killed him in his footsteps.

He was in a state of panic.

Kim Woo-jin didn't really talk to him like that. I didn't even make eye contact.

He had no intention of telling the Americans how he had set a trap and what his intentions were.

The villain who was struck by the enemy while briefing his plan was enough in the movies.

I had no intention of obtaining information from the torture.

Ugh!

The Orc Champion's meter in Kim Woo-jin's hand slashes the opponent's head in a heartbeat.

“Cough!”

The target vomits out of breath.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. ”

At the same time, the opposing Pokémon's eyes begin to wither.

Soon after the light disappears from the opposing Pokémon's eyes, Kim Woo-jin looks at the opposing Pokémon.

[Anubis' eyes activate.]

Then I heard a notification in his ear.

2.

Day 2 ended abruptly.

“Back off!”

“Get out! Just get out! ”

All players withdraw from the battlefield at the same time.

“We need to know what's going on first! ”

“We don't know what's going to happen, so let's just avoid it! ”

It was the death of the Orc Champion, of course, that drew the players back.

Who defeated the Orc Champion?

It was never because of his curiosity that he withdrew.

‘Everyone's distracted. ’

‘If we continue to fight, we are more likely to die. ’

It was the first reason that the players' concentration collapsed in the death of an unexpected Orc Champion.

‘I don't know how Orcs who have lost Orc Champions will get out. ’

‘It's a good thing they retreated, but those who lost their leader might run off angry. ’

The second reason why the Orcs who lost their leader didn't know how to get out.

‘We need a new plan. ’

‘You must feel the same way. To avoid any doubts, we have to meet up and talk. ’

This was the third reason to revise the plan underneath the water to catch the Orc Champion.

But not everyone left the battlefield for that reason.

“Where are the rest? ”

The reason the hordes in skeleton masks withdrew from the battlefield was different.

“I'm sure it's being dealt with. ”

Skull Guild.

It had only been founded for over a year, but with solid funding and connections, it made popular celebrities look good and all players were famous for wearing skeleton masks.

In the end, he participated in the A + rank dungeon, which is of interest to both Korea and the world.

“More than that, he really took down the Orc Champion by himself? ”

“Yes.”

“Good thing the guild wasn't on the kill list. ”

However, the goal of the Skull Guild was not to hunt down Orc Champions.

“You don't have to catch that monster. ”

Their game was nothing but players.

The reason was simple.

“Maybe he still has the Legendary item, but why don't you take a look? ”

“If that's the case, that's the moment you catch it! ”

Catching players is a far more important business than catching Orcs.

No, it was impossible to compare.

You can only get rare rank items if you're lucky enough to catch an Orc, but most of the users here are unique rank items now.

It means that you can touch billions of dollars in a heartbeat in exchange for killing one player.

“Don't be greedy. Isn't this why you came all the way out here to get Legendary rank items? ”

“Well, yes. ”

“The Messiana and the Guild will take that. ”

It was much more rational than obsessing over the possibility of winning legendary-grade items over a new guild or the Messiah guild.

“All we have to do is tell the outside who he is. I'll take care of it from outside. All we have to do is hide who we are, earn enough profit, and then shut up. If we keep our mouths shut, no one will ever know what happened here. ”

“Yes, in a dungeon, a user could die in an accident. ”

“It's goods. You can sell it overseas as a merchandise. ”

Given the unique nature of the dungeon environment, there was no other business left.

“Uh, there's someone coming. ”

That's when their colleague appeared.

“Huh?"

“What? Why are you running? ”

A colleague in a skeleton mask rushes at them in a hurry.

Everyone wearing a skeleton mask immediately became alert.

Soon after his colleague arrived, the man who appeared to be the leader of the conversation said.

“What's going on? ”

“He's here. ”

“Him?”

“The one who caught the Orc Champion. He knows who we are and is leading the skeleton here. ”

“There! There's the skeleton! ”

Three Orc Skeletons appear before them in horror.

Even the skeleton soldiers wearing swords, shields, and helmets were not so frightening as to see them.

“Damn it!”

Skull guild members also began to draw their own weapons in front of the horrific scene.

They pull out their weapons, but they don't relax.

I couldn't solve it.

"The monster's here"? ’

"Damn it, why is this happening? ’

Most of the players in this dungeon didn't know that the opponent who was going to attack them was the monster who captured the Orc Champion alone, but they did.

Strange thing to do if you're not embarrassed.

The embarrassment of the leader of this party, Senior Jun, was greater.

“You found out who we are? ”

“Yes.”

In particular, he was frightened that his identity and intentions might have been identified.

How?

Confidentiality was more important than anything else.

If this leaks out, they will, of course, become airborne by the skull guild itself.

How much does he know? Is the guild figuring out who we are? Was it a leak? ’

That made things complicated in his head.

‘Make sure you know what's going on. Whether he alone knows who we are or if the guild just found out. ’

If the opposing Pokémon had just attacked, they would have run away.

I didn't really want to fight.

But if the opponent knew who they were, running away wouldn't solve it.

Because of this, he was unable to choose the option of running away.

‘If the guild finds out, it will be tracked by all the players as soon as they flee. ’

No, I've come to the conclusion that there's virtually nowhere to run.

‘It is better to die than to be tortured and vomit secrets for nothing. We must never interfere with the business. ’

Above all, there was something more important to him.

When I came to that thought, he was also now combat ready.

“Prepare to hunt! ”

He grabs the bow he was carrying and gives the order.

The command stiffens the faces of the Skull Guild members.

You want me to fight that monster? ’

You're not running away? ’

The order they expected was not to fight, but to scatter the horns.

"Shit, should we just run? ’

So I was thinking of running away.

“If we reveal who we are, it's over the moment we leave. If we're going to survive, we're going to have to kill people here! ”

However, the latter said that they also had to abandon the option of running away from their minds.

Fuck!

I realized that there was nowhere to run, and in front of that realization, everyone asked me for it tightly.

Trembling!

Meanwhile, the Skeleton Soldiers start charging towards them.

Everyone focused all their senses and minds on the Skeleton Soldier in order to deal with it.

Soon, he wanted to shout.

Battle in progress!

I wanted to shout so much.

Ugh!

“Queek!”

However, what came out of his mouth at that moment was the sound of his throat being cut off by something sharp.

‘Who, who? ’

He wanted to scream for help, but he couldn't do it.

Town!

It was because he kept his mouth shut so that he wouldn't even scream.

Then he realized.

Stop, are you serious? ’

Who approached him.

And what he wants.

After realizing this, he swallowed the last will and testament.

‘fucking' · · · · · · · · · ·. ’
