Main Character Hides His Strength

As humans wrinkle as they get older, so does a building. Hundreds of years later, one or two creepy tales become held like a medal.

It may be natural to think that the coffin of repetition passed by more than a thousand years and countless students is the protagonist of many tales.

Now, there are only a few students who are at risk of being cut off, but there are seven tales in the historic coffin.

The first tale is an unopened door at the end of an underground corridor.

Legend has it that the sarcophagus was being used as a prison before it was converted into a dormitory. Just like the other prisons, there was a grim torture chamber in the basement of the sarcophagus.

And in the torture chamber, many people died under terrible torture, and there the dead became evil spirits and were wandering around the torture chamber.

Kim Sung-cheol was standing in front of the unopened door in the basement, the main character of that first tale.

[On the day of the new moon, the quest begins when the bloody iron spills through the door that does not open at midnight.]

In Kim Sung-cheol's hand was a note handed over by Christian.

He reads the note again and waits for the metal to flow out of the door that won't open.

After a few moments, you hear a faint sound as if you are running from the inside of the door.

“Ugh... ugh... ugh...”

If he was weak on the wall, he groaned so horribly that he would stay behind.

“Can't we just... go back? ”

Bertelkia digs deep into her pocket, as if she were terrified.

Kim Sung-cheol, on the other hand, was not looking at his eyebrows but just looking at the cracks.

Immediately, red iron poured out of the door like blood.

Kim Sung-cheol put his hand on the door hook as if he was waiting.

The door hook was surprisingly warm.

Soon, a glowing text appeared in front of Kim Sung-cheol.

[What made you hold the hook?]

Then came the choice.

[1. Curiosity]

[2. Courage]

[3. Awakening]

Kim Sung-cheol wanted to choose number 3, but here he chose number 1, the best answer that Christian showed him.

[Curiosity? Curiosity for a great wizard is like the spark of knowledge. But beware, the price of curiosity can sometimes be death.]

Kim Sung-cheol read the text that flowed out of his ears.

After a while, the iron oozing out of the door started to float as if it had life, creating red letters and shapes like blood in front of the door.

[Answer me, what this sorcerer is saying.]

The purpose of the shifting iron is one.

Measuring a person's ability to take an exam.

In particular, intuition was tested.

Kim Sung-cheol from a week ago wouldn't understand the shape of the iron, but it's different now.

Kim Sung-cheol saw a pattern and its meaning in the iron water that dazzled his eyes and replied with a bold voice.

“Good luck.”

As the voice rang, the iron that danced in the air disappeared from the fire and another letter appeared in front of Kim Sung-cheol.

[You have every right to enter this door.]

The door began to open slowly.

The students called it the torture chamber, and beyond the door that was not open, Kim Sung-cheol appeared.

Kim Sung-cheol felt a little disappointed.

What was inside the door that wouldn't open was a demon chained to a chain.

Head of a mountain goat and wings of a bat. Baal is the devil who possesses the human body and the hoof of the goat.

Although it was known as a class of high-class devils rather than Baroque, it was often encountered in front of Kim Sung-cheol's hammer with an end that was not much different from Baloq's.

“Hehehehe... Long time no see. Welcome. I was just about to escape because I was bored. ”

The Devil in chains says:

Looking closely, the demon was blind in one eye and the magic was weak.

They must have been detained after being defeated by humans or demons and losing their power.

Kim Sung-cheol indifferently watched the devil and said.

“… let's get started. ”

A vicious smile comes to the Devil's mouth, and then you laugh out loud.

Every time the Devil moves, dozens of chains bind him, rattling.

“You're a rascal. Great. Let the devil's games begin! ”

A magic camp rises from the Devil's fingertips, and suddenly a desk appears and sits between Kim Sung-cheol and the Devil.

On the desk were one and three cups of dice.

The demon spills the cups, placing the dice on one of them, and turns the cups in a swift motion.

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes reminded me of this.

‘This is a rock. ’

Christian's note said it was a dice game, but according to Sung-cheol Kim's knowledge, it's a rock.

“Now, the rules are simple. I turn the cup and you position the dice. If you can pinpoint the location of the dice, I'll reward you. ”

The devil looked down at Kim Sung-cheol with arrogant eyes and asked as if to test him.

“Will you do it?”

Kim Sung-cheol nodded.

Then the devil's hand grabbed the cup and began to deceive the eye.

After a while, the dice stop and the devil bites.

“Now, which cup contains the dice of destiny? ”

It wasn't that hard.

Kim Sung-cheol pointed to the cup in the middle.

The Devil raises the cup and the dice are in it.

“Not bad. Human themes. I can't believe you caught Crustace's trick! ”

The devil waves his two fists furiously.

The chains on your body rattle violently, making a loud noise.

“But a promise is a promise, and I will reward you. ”

After the sound of the chain ceased, the devil pointed to a finger with sharp fingernails protruding toward Kim Sung-cheol.

[What a battle! You have won a bet against the Demon Crusade!]

Reward: Magic Power +1

The reward for being a demon who is close to magic is not intuition, but magic.

Though the figures are too low for the victorious wager against the devil, that is not the end.

Crustace smiled and said softly.

“Honestly, I made a mistake this time. It's been a long time. My hands are twisted. So why don't you try it one more time? I'll bet on my 2 horsepower this time. Of course, you don't have to bet anything. ”

Sweet offer.

I have no reason to refuse.

Kim Sung-cheol nodded his head and the second game was about to begin.

The result is again Kim Sung-cheol's victory.

‘Exactly what Christian told me. ’

The devil trapped in the dungeon of the circle of recklessness is a loser who fell to the human world because of a power struggle between demons.

In exchange for helping the wizards, Crustace created a secret space beneath the dormitory where the students lived and seduced the students to continue his recreational life.

The devil's way was not so different from what typical swindlers do.

The first few games are deliberately beaten to nurture the student's carelessness and desires, and then the student's soul is eaten away in one game at the biggest stake.

[After the 4th game, immediately leave the room. The Devil will be very angry!]

Christian was asking the student to play only the fourth game where he didn't bet.

because in the fifth game, the devil asks the student to bet on the money he sells.

“What a human thing to do! I can't believe this Crusade has been defeated four times in a row!! ”

The sound of the chains grows ever louder, and the Devil trembles with fury.

“Magic Power 10. Battle for Magic Power 10! I can't let you leave like this! ”

Kim Sung-cheol has already won 10 magical powers in the last 4 battles.

Given that stats themselves are easy to raise, a regular quest with the highest rank rewards is no exaggeration.

‘This is more of a regular quest than the devil himself says. ’

Quests are usually one-sided.

Quests are a unilateral set of trials and rewards where God or God-abiding beings, blessed beings of Asin, are created with the permission of those who govern the world.

Quest hosts are called Quest Creators, and the difficulty and size of their rewards are directly proportional to the strength of the Quest Host.

Legendary beings of about seven heroes can create a grand quest at the top, but the ones below can only create quests that suit them.

However, this devil's bet is far too rewarding to call it a minor quest.

It means that this quest is not unilateral like any other quest, but is designed to adversely affect the quest host as a result.

“Here! Humans! Do you want to battle for Magic Power 10? Then bring it on.”

If you can win a battle, you can get an extra Magic Power of 10.

This is an opportunity to quickly raise Magic Power 20 without spending too much effort in one night.

But the devil never does a losing business.

“But I can't give you this battle for free. I've been walking, so you should have something to bet with. ”

“What do you want to bet? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked, and the devil smiled and replied.

“What else can you walk on besides the soul? ”

So far, the devil's gestures have been easy and quiet enough for anyone to hit even with a little attention.

Anyone who doesn't know it may take a reckless challenge to success.

Maybe it's the temptation to destroy itself.

“I will.”

However, Sung-cheol Kim has played a game with the devil with a completely different mind than those sacrificed by the devil so far.

He folds his arms and gazes at the devil with his spiritual - truthful eyes.

“Is that so? ”

Bang!

The door that does not open is closed.

The room begins to fester in blood.

The Devil smiles and laughs loudly enough to let the ceiling go.

“Let's get started, then. Human? The final battle for my ten magical powers and your soul? ”

The Devil's hand in the cup moves.

It's fast.

It moved so quickly that it was not in the same dimension as it had been so far, and the dice bewitched the eyes of those who looked over this cup and that cup like bullets.

“Kuhahahaha!”

The demon bursts into laughter and adds its speed.

Eventually, the Devil's hands and cups became faster, allowing the human eye to see nothing but residual images, and the wooden table could not cope that quickly and began to burn with friction heat.

A moment later, the Devil's hand stops.

One corner of the desk was on fire, and the devil stared down at Sung-cheol Kim with one eye remaining and exclaimed overwhelmingly.

“Here you go, human. Time for destiny. Choose. ”

The Devil smiles.

I can never guess.

Because right now, this bet can't be won even if the goddess of luck smiles on humans.

The dice are hidden in the devil's clutches, not in the cup.

‘It's been a long time since I've eaten a human soul. ’

The Devil used to make his choice, tasting it again.

“Come, mortal! What are you thinking about? I don't have patience. ”

Then something unexpected happened.

Kim Sung-cheol's hand grabbed the Devil's hand.

“Stop moving. ”

The rest of the devil's eyes twist in horror.

‘H-how?! ’

I can't move my hands.

This can't be happening.

Even the Fallen Devil who has lost his power is no more powerful than a mere mortal.

His power was simply overwhelmed.

“Shhhhh!”

The Devil squeals in the crushing pain of his hand and widens his cup.

Tegur.

The dice that were hiding in the palm of your hand fell on the burning table.

‘Wha... what? Son of a... "

Then the Devil could see.

It wasn't that man who fooled you into a bet. It was you.

Kim Sung-cheol glanced at Crustes with more devilish eyes than the devil and said with a bold slaughter.

“Keep your promise. Devil.”

“Th-there's got to be! ”

Crustace squeezed a few of his magical powers and handed them over to Kim Sung-cheol.

A text reminded me of the success of the quest came before him.

[]

Reward: Magic Power +10

Seeing that there are no sentences, the Devil probably didn't even think he was geographic on the fifth bet.

Kim Sung-cheol silently said, leaving the devil staring at him with his stunned eyes.

“Think the day I come back here will be your funeral. ”

A chain tied to the demon shivers lightly.

Kim Sung-cheol stood at the door in the heat of the chain, feeling the fear of the devil.

The door that won't open is wide open.

Kim Sung-cheol stepped out the door and checked his stats.

[Stats]

Strength 999 + Agility 853 HP 801

Magic Power 71 Intuition 58 Magic Resistance 621

Will 502 Charm 18 Luck 18

‘There are now six quests left in the coffin. During the day, the Alchemist reads Alchemy Books and at night carries out the quest for the Cave of Whirlwind. Due in a week. Milestone achieved within a week. ’

It is no coincidence that Kim Sung-cheol gained a divine body.

He knows how to grow.
