Kill the Hero

In 2023, the world has changed like a game for four years.
There's been a lot of change in the world.
However, there was not a single person who thought the world was better.
Rather, most of the news from all over the world was bad news.
Monsters make the government dysfunctional, criminal and terrorist incidents · · · · · · · ·.
Honestly, they weren't good stories.
[Park Yong-wan “Kim Woo-jin will lead the next generation with Isaac Ivanov”]
[Kim Woo-jin emerges as the next Ace of Korea!]
That's why the fire created by the name Kim Woo-jin is not easily extinguished.
Koreans, among them, were forced to turn their heads away from the dreadful reality and became interested in Kim Woo-jin.
- Kim Woo-jin isn't normal. It's not a joke, is it?
Khh! That's the guy who beats up criminals. I like it.Now I have to fan him.
- It looks like Isaac Ivanov finally showed up in Korea!
- If there's any chocolate pie for Isaac Ivanov, let's send it to Kim Woo-jin!
Of course, the public response was not just positive.
Is it too much to compare it to Isaac Ivanov?
- Yeah, and it's not the Messiah Guild, is it? Bastards suck their heads and reflect!
- The guilds and the press are foaming up. It's going to bubble up and die soon.
There were a lot of negative reactions, and a lot of them.
No matter how hard the guild tried to change the image, the new guild belonging to Kim Woo-jin to the people of Korea was unchecked, and Isaac Ivanov compared to Kim Woo-jin was a player called Lee Se-jun's heir.
- No, if you're Korean, you should cheer for Kim Woo-jin!
Isaac Ivanov is an honorable Korean.
Crazy Isaac, if you eat a lot of chocolate pie, are you all Korean? Hey, let's send some chocolate pie to Kim Woo-jin!
Isaac likes firemeat, too.
I bet Kim Woo-jin likes firemeat too!
Of course, there was controversy, and the controversy made Kim Woo-jin's fame more lively.
Of course, that didn't last long either.
[Isaac Ivanov, next stop San Francisco!]
[Isaac Ivanov, do you challenge the Forest of the Dead?]
Isaac Ivanov's news of America consumed the world.
2.
In 2018, when monsters started jumping from all over the world with the arrival of the Dungeon Gate, the world experienced a great confusion and feared that the end might come.
Most people who felt the horror of the end thought the same.
We have to get to America first!
That's the kind of country the world sees as America.
If the world comes to an end, it will be the last.
In fact, after the world had turned into a game, the United States had cleared up the chaos so quickly that it was unlike any other country, that many people began to trample on American soil.
The same was true of the players.
Skilled players who appeared in unstable areas such as Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America and Southeast Asia decided to become great American citizens, and the United States was willing to accept them.
It was now the birth of the greatest kingdom that no one could deny.
That's why the world says,
“The United States doesn't need a Mesia Guild. ”
America already saved my life, so they don't need a savior.
Not only that, the Messiah Guild has not been able to exert that much influence in the United States.
“There is no dungeon the United States cannot attack. ”
There were guilds and players in the United States that could attack any dungeon, even if not the Messiah Guild.
At least that's what the American people believed, and that made them proud.
“In fact, both the Great One and the Frontier have cleared some dungeons so far. ”
The decision of pride was the two American guilds, the Great One guild and the Frontier guild, the five largest guilds in the world.
With the full support of the United States, they were able to target any dungeon on American soil.
“Until the dungeon in San Francisco. ”
However, in February 2023, San Francisco began to have problems with a three-story Dungeon of A + Ranks‘ Forest of the Dead ’and two guilds failed to attack.
“Painful bone failure. ”
Of course, they were not discouraged by a failed attack.
Creating their pride in the first place was a challenging spirit without fear of failure.
“Even though two prides held hands and tried to attack, · · · · · · · ”
The Great One Guild and the Frontier Guild were working together to target the dungeon.
The two guild masters, who had so far been fiercely competitive, shook hands in front of everyone.
“But I failed. ”
The problem was that the two guilds also failed to attempt an attack after improving their relationship.
Of course, the two guilds did not give up.
As soon as I failed, I started preparing for the dungeon attack again.
They risked their lives to protect America's pride.
“Afterwards, the U.S. government shut it down. ”
But the U.S. government stopped them.
It was a natural move.
If you let two guilds that have already become national power risk their lives for a three-story dungeon raid, that would be rather odd.
“My pride hurt me greatly. ”
However, it hurt America's pride.
The Forest of the Dead was like that.
The dungeon that hurt America's great pride.
“I know how fucked up that dungeon is, even if it's not an explanation. ”
Kim Woo-jin wanted to target the dungeon before Isaac Ivanov's name.
“Damn, I'd pick a dungeon if I were you. ”
It was why Lee Jina was complaining about Kim Woo-jin's explanation.
Of course, there were no results yet.
“Funny thing about the American government. No, leave a wounded dungeon in their pride to the Russians? ”
Like Yi Jina said, the Forest Dungeon of the Dead was a dungeon that hurt America's pride.
The U.S. government was blocking the attack right now, but it was not a dungeon that could one day give another country a chance to attack itself.
What if the target is Russian?
“Life is expensive. ”
That's where Kim Woo-jin put his life.
The members of the Great One Guild, Kim Woo-jin, demanded the Great One Guild in exchange for their lives.
Help him attack the Forest Dungeon of the Dead.
“Isaac Ivanov's name is expensive. ”
The deal wouldn't have worked for anyone else, but the price of Isaac Ivanov's name would have to change.
Can the United States cry out against the next generation of Saviors who challenge them for a dungeon attack that even the United States has not conquered?
Even if you're willing to buy an opportunity in return for what you deserve?
“And America is a country of heroes. ”
How many times can a hero's country, not just anywhere, enter a narrow pine cone toward a hero?
At least the United States of America that Kim Woo-jin knows now couldn't have.
Kim Woo-jin was convinced.
“The door opens. ”
They will give themselves a chance to challenge the dungeon.
There was only one task left for Kim Woo-jin.
“Okay, let's say it's open. So you think you can hit that dungeon? This is a dungeon where two guilds failed to attack with their hands. If it's the Forest of the Dead, there will be undead monsters. Isn't this a bad match for you? ”
Can Kim Woo-jin attack the dungeon or not?
In front of the assignment, Kim Woo-jin didn't think long.
“That's why I'm worried. ”
“Right? Hard, isn't it? ”
“It's not hard for me. We won't be dealing with undead monsters on the front lines anyway. ”
“What?"
“If you die, I'll use you as a skeleton disease. ”
“Damn it, I'm not gonna die! I'm not gonna die because I'm a dick! ”
At this point, there was no third floor dungeon Kim Woo-jin could not attack.
Whoo-hoo!
The two of them received the news I was waiting for.
- Uh, I just got an answer from the Great One Guild.
O Se-cchan, who made this negotiation, brought me news.
“What happened? ”
- That's okay, but we got a problem.
“Problem?”
- Uh, so they put up a bid.
“Goods?”
- You will receive a prize for attacking the dungeon. Legendary.
Kim Woo-jin laughed.
“You're full of yourself. ”
Giving a prize to the attacker proves that the Great One Guild is confident in attacking the Dead Forest.
“You don't even care about me. ”
I can ignore Isaac Ivanov.
That's why Kim Woo-jin laughed.
“So what's the prize? ”
- That's it.
And Kim Woo-jin said, "No more ridicule."
“Is that true? ”
I was just surprised and asked.

The two guilds in the United States, the Frontier Guild, the Great One Guild and the American Pride, were surprisingly different.
Among them, the differences in their direction were dramatically different.
While the Frontier Guild focused on expanding its appearance through conquest and pioneering, the Great One Guild literally focused on qualitative growth.
The distinction between the two guilds was apparent when the joint invasion of the Forest Dungeon of the Dead failed.
At that time, the Frontier Guild failed to attack and put priority on the Dead Man's Forest behind it.
But the Great One Guild was different.
After a failed raid, the Great One Guild made the Forest of the Dead a top priority and prepared to raid it.
“Isaac Ivanov wants to raid the Forest of the Dead, right? ”
Carrie Roana, guild master of the Great One Guild, is the reason she handles everything related to the Dead Man's Forest.
Trinity, the only player to deal with three kinds of spirits, and Lee Se-jun the Savior, who is considered one of the players, manages everything about the three-story dungeon.
The Great One Guild's gaze at the Dead Forest was proof that it was beyond common sense.
“In exchange for the lives of our children? ”
Of course, Isaac Ivanov's proposal also immediately entered her ears.
And as soon as she heard it, she smiled.
“That's great.”
The time has finally come.
“This is how it's gonna go down. ”
As I said before, the Great One Guild is preparing to attack the Forest Dungeon of the Dead again.
No, it was already ready.
Circumstances requiring U.S. Government approval only.
“If Isaac Ivanov wants a dungeon raid for this reason, the president can't say no. ”
In a situation like that, I have a very good reason to puncture that obstacle, and if I don't turn it around, it's a strange thing.
“Permission to attack Isaac Ivanov's dungeon, and let's go into the dungeon together. ”
She leads Isaac Ivanov on a dungeon raid, and together they plan on taking the dungeon raid.
Of course, the executives of the Great One Guild thought differently.
“Isaac Ivanov may not know it, but the government won't let us in. ”
“That's right. It's because the government didn't want our guild and the Frontier Guild to be consumed in the first place, right? ”
“Assuming we're the only ones affected, we'll never get permission. ”
It was not because the U.S. government questioned its ability to stop the attack on the Forest Dungeon of the Dead in the first place.
Even if it was cleared, it was the main reason that the consumption value was too large to stop the target.
Under such circumstances, it was unknown whether the U.S. government would allow Isaac Ivanov to launch an attack on Great One.
“The government is likely to want Isaac Ivanov to fail. ”
Rather, the U.S. government was more likely to frame Isaac Ivanov for failure.
If even a hero from Russia becomes a failed dungeon, the wounded pride of Americans will be cured a little.
The executives deserved a point.
But in her rightful point, she didn't think much of it.
“Then let's build a game. Make other guilds come, too. The Frontier Guild, the Messiah Guild, and everyone who's doing anything on the third floor dungeon stage. Sharing all the risks. If the game gets that big, we're gonna have to get involved, right? How many of our items are there?
I can't keep my eyes open and watch the others take it. ”
We'll take the risk.
At that, the executives tilted their heads and asked again.
“Is that as easy as it sounds? Even if we were, would the other guilds challenge the Forest of the Dead if they weren't fools? ”
There's no reason for other guilds to take the risk unless they have Merritt in their clutches.
In that question, she said confidently.
“Let's place a bid. A product that everyone will be fascinated by. ”
“A prize?”
“King Arthur's ring, hang it as a commodity. ”
Everyone on the left said with a frightening look on their faces.
“Legendary items, should we wear King Arthur's ring as well? ”
“How much does it cost to get it? ”
She shrugged her shoulders in shock.
“It doesn't matter. There is no stronger member than the one we have prepared for this day. ”
“Still · · · · · · · · ·. ”
“Above all, you said you were selling Arthur's ring as a commodity, and you didn't say you weren't wearing it. ”
“Ah.”
At that moment, the left hand nods.
“Elise, put Arthur's ring on her finger and put it in the dungeon. So, we're done here? ”
Everyone nods.
“Then tell Isaac Ivanov. ”
And she said to him,
“If you're in danger, we'll save you, so make sure you have enough money for your life. ”
