The 'Status Window’ is the ability to be used by anyone entering Abyss. It's very simply a simple expression of how capable you are at a level. But not everyone has this level.

The only person who can have a level is the one who contracted with the Monarchs of Abyss.

The human body is weak. Another story when it comes to weapons, but it is impossible to bring modern weapons to Abyss.

The reason you can live in Abyss with a weak body is because of the agreement you have with the monarchs of Abyss at the end of the tutorial. However, a contract does not mean everyone has the same contract. Only a select few of the numerous contractors are empowered by the monarch, and some of those who are truly empowered are appointed as' apostles' and become acquainted with the monarch.

There were currently only four people appointed as’ apostles’ in the world, and three were undergoing trials to be appointed as apostles. And one of them was also in Korea, a small country.

Park Joon-hwan.

He was a preliminary apostle of the armed forces, a powerful hunter. The most famous hunters in Korea are Seo Min-sik, Seong-soo, and Park Joon-hwan, but Seo Min-sik and Seong-soo are admirers, but Park Joon-hwan cannot be admirers.

It was because it was too high.

“Spiritless.”

Baek Hyun walked the streets of the bustling Pandemonium. He was personally interested in a person named Park Joon-hwan. To be precise, I was intrigued by the monarch named "Armageddon" who contracted with him.

At the end of the tutorial, the armed forces sent a message that they felt the existence of White Hyun was dangerous. He also sent a message directly to Baek Hyun asking who he was. The voice belonged to a thick man, and no emotion was revealed, so I couldn't figure it out. But if you feel dangerous, you must be wary.

The reason Baek Hyun was interested in the spirit was not because of the vigilance he had shown. Baek Hyun had already identified the popular information on his cell phone before coming to Abyss Entrance. Nowadays, most information can be found out if you hold your phone a little. Especially if you're a celebrity like Park Joon-hwan, the related footage is rotten on YouTube.

I have seen several videos related to Park Joon-hwan, Baek Hyun-do. Only Abyss was unable to record the video, but there were many videos of defeating monsters that appeared in reality.

‘That was a no-show. ’

It seems that Park Joon-hwan used it to defeat monsters. That must have been a no-show. So I have no choice but to go. However, Park Joon-hwan was not an easy person to meet because he wanted to meet. Park Joon-hwan is a person who lives longer in Abyss than he lives in reality. However, I couldn't find Park Joon-hwan at Abyss because I didn't know where he was.

‘We'll meet someday. ’

As long as the spirit is alert to Baek Hyun, he will take action in some way. Maybe I've used Park Joon-hwan to make contact with Baek Hyun.

Baek Hyun entered the Hunter Registry in Korea hoping to do so.

“Welcome. ”

The Hunter Registry was very limited. Although there are many who enter Abyss, there are not many who register as Hunters for the first time. Baek Hyun approached the window where a dry greeting employee sat.

“I'm trying to register a hunter. ”

“Yes, you will. You registered at the outdoor entrance, right? ”

“Of course I did. ”

“Can you tell me your name and date of birth? ”

The employee grabbed the pen. Baek Hyun replied as he asked. It was not much different from what the mischievous staff at the entrance asked.

“Which monarch did you contract with? ”

“I didn't make a contract. ”

The employee's pen stopped responding to Baek Hyun's answer. The employee slowly raised his head and looked at Baek Hyun.

“... but why are you here? ”

“I'm here to enroll Hunter. ”

“You didn't even sign a contract with the monarch. But did you get Hunter's registration? Are you kidding me? ”

“No, it's not like that. There's nothing like not signing a contract with a monarch that can't register a hunter. ”

“... ha, by the way. Hey, Baek Hyun. Do you have a problem with your mind? Or what, a suicide victim? ”

“No, I'm not.”

“But why register Hunter, why. If you can't make a deal with the monarch, just go out and look for something else. You've got a lot of jobs these days. ”

“Why don't you just sign up? ”

“Power if you don't contract with the monarch... No, this is not a matter of power. How the hell are you gonna catch a monster when you don't even have a level? And you think Hunter makes a lot of money? Do you know how much tax Hunter is obliged to pay every year? Why do you register when you can't even earn money by catching monsters? ”

The employee shoots with a sharp voice. This employee was not unusually cheap. This was a normal response, and the employee was worried about Baek Hyun in his own way.

A reason to live in Abyss with a weakened human body. The reason you can fight monsters is because of the contract with Monarch Abyss. ‘Level’ was an advantage closely related to the growth correction granted to the human contracted by the monarch. Hunters prove their skills to the monarch by capturing monsters, and level up as a reward for them. As the level rises, Hunter's body can have strength beyond the limits of man.

For Hunter, the level was a measure of strength. Of course, it was natural that a powered hunter could level up easily and quickly from the end of the tutorial, and even if he did not have the power, he was desperately empowered to level up in the eyes of the contracted monarch.

But if you haven't signed a contract with the monarch. Of course, you cannot benefit from a growth correction called a level.

“Go back.”

I grabbed the paperwork from both hands. I'm trying to tear the documents in front of what Baek Hyun sees. White-hyun's eyebrows slightly frown as he looks at it.

“What a relief.”

The employee's body stopped.

It was literally a "stop." The employee swung his eyes and looked at Baek Hyun. He could not understand what had happened to his body.

“Just write it down. There were a lot of monarchs to sign up for, but I didn't do it, and I came to register because I was confident I could handle it without any level or power. ”

“Uh-uh...”

“Quickly.”

The employee's hands squeaked and moved. He could not understand it with his head, but he was already overwhelmed by Baek Hyun's attitude and could not resist Baek Hyun's words. The employee did not say anything anymore and filled out the documents of Baek Hyun.

“What about the wallet?”

“Yes... yes. ”

The employee clasped his hand inside the window. What he took out was a bracelet of silence.

“Do you... know how to use it? ”

“I know. I looked it up on the way. ”

Baek Hyun replied with a smile. The bracelet is bigger than the white man's wrist, but after filling it, it is reduced to fit the size of his wrist. This bracelet was a ‘purse’ for Abyss and reality. Killing monsters in Abyss will stack ‘Coins’ in 'Inventory’. In reality, they were able to check the coins in their inventory through bracelets and convert them to coins in the real-life clearing house.

“This is it, isn't it? ”

“Yes...”

The employee answered in a buzzing voice. Baek Hyun smiles at him and leaves the registry. Though I expected to be treated like this, I actually got picked up and laughed at. that he failed to contract with the monarch. That there is no level. Although Baek Hyun was self-righteous, Hunter, who has no contract or level, is nothing to see in the tutorial.

‘What do you think? ’

I had no idea it was worth not contracting. Baek Hyun walks the street waving a bracelet. Then I checked his status window.

Name: Baek Hyun.

That was the end. If you had contracted with the Monarch, there would have been more items under your name, but since you didn't contract, there was only one name in the Status Window.

[Welcome to the store.]

[Use your coins to purchase items.]

[You don't have any coins. Item cannot be purchased.]

I went into the shop, but I couldn't buy anything because I didn't have anything.

“There's nothing to live for. ”

Baek Hyun muttered and turned off the shop window.

The Pandemonium is spacious. It's a place where the first Abyss people from all over the world come. There were so many amenities here to cover that wide size.

“First time?”

In front of the warp gate, people were lining up. Baek Hyun calmly stood in line and waited for his turn. The use of Pandemonium's Warp Gate was thankfully free.

“Yes.”

“Oh, I see. Just in case, did you get the power? ”

“No, I didn't. ”

“Even so... if you were empowered, you wouldn't do this here. But what about the weapon? ”

“I didn't get it. ”

Speaking to Baek Hyun was a foreigner with a big nose. Although Baek Hyun could not even speak simple English, there was no inconvenience in having a conversation because everyone who came into the Pandemonium used the same language.

“By the way, I wish I had the power. Going somewhere else? ”

“The monster that appears on the west side of the gate is the weakest. This means that you don't get many coins, and you don't level well. ”

“You're not the first one, are you? ”

“My level is 5. ”

The snob opened his chest and said,

“I signed a contract with the Yongseong Army. Who did you sign with? ”

“I didn't. ”

“... ”

Baek Hyun's answer made Ko Wang's eyes tremble. Earlier, it was a response that was no different from the staff of the former registry.

“But what are you doing here? ”

“They all ask the same thing. ”

Since then, Ko Wang has no longer spoken to Baek Hyun. I just slammed Baek Hyun a few times with a gruesome eye. Baek Hyun was more comfortable giving it out like that than making a fuss. Then it was Baek Hyun's turn.

In fact, it may have been quicker to run into the light air than to wait for the turn, but I wanted to try the word 'Warp Gate’. But it was nothing. Walking through the cracks of a wide open space, it ended. Baek Hyun stands at the western gate and shakes his tongue.

The reason why Baek Hyun chose the western gate was not to hunt the weak monster as Ko Wang said. Baek Hyun recalls an approximate map of Abyss, which he saw before entering Abyss.

West around the Pandemonium. If you go that way, you can get close to Pure St. 's territory. It is you who sent the message and asked me to come. So Baek Hyun was going to go to Pure St. first.

‘I don't know how far it's going to be. ’

Abyss is very spacious. The problem is not just broad. Four years since Abyss appeared and humans began entering Abyss. Humans don't know all about Abyss yet. Among the monarchs, only the Pure St. and Blood Apostles, the Dragon Army, the Reverend and the Preliminary Apostles, the Iron Maid, the Witch End, and the High Road were identified.

Baek Hyun passed through the open gates.

I saw a lot of hunters. A royal worm. It's an unscrupulous name, but the monster is the size of a forearm. When I saw the hunters swinging their weapons at the crown worm, I realized that.

‘This is... like a novice hunting ground. ’

It wasn't very wrong. Monsters around the Pandemonium can still appear even if they are killed. Those monsters are made in Abyss.

“Monsters are out of the control of monarchs. ”

The Apostle of Pure St. Drave said:

“Monsters are what Abyss gave birth to, and monsters coming out of Abyss is a phenomenon that monarchs cannot do. ”

“It's a trial for us humans. And, monarchs... my great Pure Saint is definitely a God. ”

“Do not doubt their existence and will. They are absolute good and they are human beings. They don't want anything from us. What can we call them, not gods, who empower us and help us overcome trials? ”

So I wanted to see him more.

He said that if you complete the Pacheon Shinhwa Republic, you can become God. As Drave said, I don't know if the monarchs of Pure St. or Abyss are really new. But it was certain that they were at least divine.

The forest looked far away.

A forest that passes through the habitat of the royal earthworm that continues to appear even after killing. In fact, it could be called the "real" Abyss from there.

I heard Baek Hyun's toe.

And he stuffed the ground. Quang! The ground is shaken like an earthquake with just one foot. When the hunters, who were diligently grabbing the crown worm, looked back at the gate, Baek Hyun was already running past them in front of me.

Usually, the hunter who first entered Abyss stays for about a month, even if he can't make it to the Pandemonium.

It is because there are many things to prepare. You need to get used to hunting monsters and level them up. In fact, the most needed is equipment. You can't bring a real weapon to Abyss, so you need to get it from Abyss.

Baek Hyun didn't have to. I didn't have to get used to hunting, and I didn't have to level up. I didn't even have to buy a weapon.

There was no level, no contract with the monarch, no power, no weapon.

He had a martial arts lesson from the goddess Zuhano.
