Mangem's Paladin

“No! ”

The residents of Ulsan were frightened when GM appeared. A review of the NPC's mandate had already ended a year ago, one of which was' to help players’. And now the lords of the NPCs have acted exactly the opposite.

The rest of the crew heard the word "abnormal" and the blood pressure disappeared from their faces.

Gunwook was also one of them. Is it working? The beings in the sky were treating the inhabitants here with artificial intelligence, not people. I was terrified beyond the cold. The gaze of an arrogant transcendent.

“Great Apollo."

In the meantime, some Incheon knights were kneeling down and worshipping the sky. believers of a religion that worships the Perforated Gospel, or similar GM. They worship the sun that rises to the ground.

There were even many Ulsan citizens. There were so many.

The gospel of perforation sounded toward those who had different reactions.

The reason for this is that NPCs have been given too many rights and freedoms. As a result, we decided to impose a number of restrictions on NPCs. From now on, NPCs cannot pre-empt players, nor can they own private property. I will confiscate all my property. "

The Ulsan citizens screamed that the gold and items they kept in their inventory were gone.

Apollo continued to announce.

"Finally, I will teach the NPCs a lesson so they don't forget this forever."

At the next moment, Gunwook knew intuitively what was going to happen. I yelled at the sky.

“Fuck off, motherfucker! Get the fuck out!”

However, Gear Apollo did what Gunuk had foreseen.

There was a flash in the sky, and I didn't know exactly what I was doing. But what happened was clear.

The nuclear power plant, which was supplying electricity throughout Ulsan, stopped operating.

Did the power of the sun make nuclear division impossible? Or the means of something else? I didn't know that either, but now the changes that will be made to Ulsan are clear.

Darkness will be pushed into the city where the lights are gone. You will not be able to resist it except with lame game skills.

GM's last announcement rang in the minds of desperate people.

"Dungeon Online always takes you first. Everyone would be happy if it helped. I hope you enjoy your adventure."

After the sun disappeared like that, the starlight did not shine in the dark city.

It was a situation that might have remained despite the rebellion, but Ulsan was just calm. There were probably two reasons why such a major upheaval did not occur. First of all, the level of supremacy is so absolute that the rest of the inhabitants do not dare to bring down the LV.150 lord. And it's hard to adapt to your position of losing power right now to try to revolt.

The Incheon Knights' home was also cut off. Nintendo was unable to recharge, and many inconveniences occurred, including annoying everyone, but life was not difficult enough. At least it wasn't dark.

That evening, Kim Jong-gi came to the property. I saw Emperor Gunwook revealing the entire place in the afterglow and said,

“What an amazing afterglow. I didn't know it well when it was bright."

It was Kim Seon-woo who reacted to the words.

“You're not here to tell me? ”

“Yes?”

Kim Jung-gi was embarrassed by Kim Sun-woo's attitude, but Kim Sun-woo was preoccupied.

Kim Seon-woo did not notice the guard commander's need to be afraid of the NPCs. I've always been like that against people below my level.

“We're busy people, so stop wasting time and get it out of your head. ”

Kim Jung-gi replied.

“The Count wants to see Lord Emperor Wook. ”

Kim Seon-woo smiled bitterly.

“You NPC bastards still don't know the subject? Who are you calling? He said he wanted to see you, so he wouldn't have to go barefoot in winter to see you. ”

Kim Jung-gi trembled in humiliation, but was neither threatened nor angry. Just this morning, the yard that went through that did not have the strength to do so against the players.

Gunwook said he couldn't get over it.

“Enough. I'll follow. ”

Kim Seon-woo struggled with the decision, but he didn't stop Gunwook anyway.

After following Kim Jeonggi, Gunwook saw Ulsan, whose electricity was cut off. The city that was submerged in darkness now really looked like a city of the dead.

Kim Jung-gi, who guides Gun-wook, blurred his words in front of a building.

“You may have suffered a lot, but... ”

Earl Ulsan Nahyuntae lived on the top floor of the skyscraper, and now even the elevator has stopped. They could barely meet Nahyun Tae-tae at the end of a fifty story walk.

Nahyuntae said with the face of the deceased lord of the city.

“Uh, are you here? Sit down. ”

Moreover, as I sat before him, silence fell. I didn't know what to say to Gunwook. Should I comfort you or should I apologize?

Fortunately, it was me who opened my mouth first.

“This is too much. Too much. ”

“Yes, really."

“I'm not trying to blame you. Actually, I want to blame you, but you shouldn't. Yeah, it won't work. · · · · · · ”

I couldn't ask if I couldn't blame others because it was my fault or if I shouldn't blame players for NPC topics.

Gun Wook kept his mouth shut and Lee Hyun-tae said.

“Anyway, I called you here because I wanted to make a deal. ”

“What if you say deal? ”

Gunwook was ready to make any deal. I felt sorry for the rest of you.

Nahyuntae said from what he could give.

“As Lord Ulsan, I have hidden EXP Potions in my warehouse. Quite a lot. You can all level up by 4 and hunt for 30% EXP for two months. You could have fed the NPCs a bunch of LV.100 troops, but if the LV.100 gets too high, it's a threat to me, too. So I hid it without giving it to my men. Everything in the inventory is gone, but nothing in the warehouse is gone? I'll give you all that. ”

After hearing that, Gunwook opened his eyes wide. How many months can you shorten the leveling period? I was no longer fascinated by this situation.

“What do you want in exchange for that? ”

In response to Gunwook's question, Nahyeontae replied in an energetic voice.

“Just promise me one thing. ”

“Speak.”

“Get me out of here. Yeah, I'll give you all the potions if you promise me you will. ”

“Are you talking about Ulsan here? ”

“Yeah. I tried to get out of a boring giant prison, but now I can't. Seven billion gold and seven billion more at the sale price in Ulsan.

“You can't do that if you want to give it to me. In the first place, you can't raise money for the rest of your life. ”

“Did something like gold inflation happen outside? ”

“Never mind.”

“Then promise me you'll take it out the other way. I'm not asking you to take it out right now. Someday, when it's possible. ”

“I don't know how. Maybe someday it's possible. Can you tell us how? ”

“I don't know.”

“Then."

“But there's only one thing I know. You, you. I think you can get down to the bottom of the basement. And when you become a god, you can do anything, right? Then get me out of here. ”

God.

Gunwook pauses to recall the witch's suggestion and crosses his head. No matter how much I thought about it, being a god and fulfilling my own wishes were separate things. Otherwise, we would not have shared God's reward and the fulfillment of our wishes.

So, being a god and solving the situation was nothing but a temptation to give up purpose.

“Even if I go down to the bottom, I don't intend to be a god. ”

Despite what he said, he did not give up.

“You don't know, do you? Anyway, when you do, don't forget me. ”

I didn't know why I would be able to listen to such an unknown demand. Gunwook frowned and asked.

“Do you want to go out and reunite with your family or something? Then you can pass on the letter to me later. ”

“I have no family. I want to make it. ”

“You want to make a family? ”

“I want to get married. ”

“Yes?”

“With a woman. I want to live with a woman. I want to do that every day. Not in this fucking place. The smell of the night flower is only overflowing the cub."

“Is that why you want to leave? ”

“Yes! What, no? Do you know how I feel? I haven't seen a woman in years. You're only obsessed with that one. If someone goes crazy like that, they can do anything. Anything!”

It was an overwhelming and overly peripheral wish to shout with a beady and desperate voice. It was also a wish that those feelings would be conveyed frankly as simply as possible.

So Gunwook could not ignore the ridicule of his wishes immediately.

Gunwook asked carefully.

“What the hell do you believe in and make that offer? Even if I have the ability to listen to my wishes, I don't really know if I will. ”

“I saw your afterglow when the power went out and it went dark. Fuckin 'bright. That's what makes you so good, right? Gogyeong-fu and Seo-yeon were also heroically saving people and being nice to each other. Then you should be a trustworthy person. ”

Just for that reason? Gunwook thought it was ridiculous, but he needed polite potions anyway. So I thought.

When you ask the world to return to its original wishes, will the people here be released? Perhaps Ulsan will be naturally drawn on the way back to the ground. Or maybe it's not.

Either way, I wasn't sure. I answered honestly after deliberation.

“I don't know if it's really possible. ”

And I was satisfied with the fair answer. I felt rather cautious and sincere with an attitude that was open and unconvincing. Especially now that you want to hang on to anything you believe in.

“It's okay. You, you just give me hope. Hope you don't need to be locked up forever, okay? ”

I said that, and he immediately gave me the promised potion. Two types of potions that instantly increase EXP and increase EXP gains per hour. Like I said, there was a secret cellar full of them.

Are you afraid that the report will change your mind? Nahyuntae put polite potions in Gun Wook's inventory and bag. And then he said,

“If you take an LV.150, come to me. I'll let you know as much as I can remember how the level restriction trials are going. I'm the only one who died doing that, and I'm the only one left in the middle of it, locked up in a dungeon. I can tell you all that. ”

Gunwook nodded and stepped forward. I returned to the listing where the knights were waiting and distributed their potions.

Kim Seon-woo, who received his share of the potion, opened his eyes wide.

“Wow, are you sure you want to share this? If you eat it all by yourself, I'll take 150 photos and then I'll sniff out the level.”

“You can only raise these potions up to LV.150 because they are limited to the ingestible level. And it doesn't mean that I'm the only one in this situation. ”

Kim Seon-woo expressed admiration or madness in his words.

“You're the only one with an LV.150 on it. ”

It was certainly a remarkable item. Potions that instantly boost EXP were enough to level it up by 4 even if they were distributed to everyone. I kept them all in my inventory and decided to drink them all together at a time when it would be difficult to level up.

In exchange for distributing the potion, Gunwook received gold from everyone, but did not refuse. Gunwook also had to think about what had happened since he finished levelling off the ground.

And the next day, they all resumed levelling.

The EXP Gain Boost Potion filled everyone's inventory has a better effect than expected. In less than a month, most people reached LV.125, all reaching the 481st floor of the basement.

Then they all leveled up without resting. At a much faster rate than originally anticipated. Continued, continued to dig underground to earn EXP.

Euphyte God felt pain. It's been a long time since I became a god.

Eupeter was being tortured now.

“Please stop. ”

After the torture, Eupeter mentally grumbles and looks at the VIP.

God above the gods. New Creature of the Universe.

He said there was no great secret about his birth and identity. There was a boy in the Republic of Korea, and the form of his brain, which was inextricably coupled with the cosmic coincidence of the moment he was in middle school age, was the most perfect form in the universe.

That was the proof of the most perfect soul, so the creature who was originally the creator of this universe willingly passed on all his powers and rights to the boy.

The moment the owner of the universe changed, the horror of the universe escalated a few steps, and all cosmic beings sang the hymn of joy, but as Euphrates, I could not understand why it was a joy and why the boy before my eyes was greater than the old shipbuilder.

‘In my view, it's just a drunken meditation. ’

In fact, VIP only looked like a junior boy. I did the same with my behavior and my tone.

The boy, VIP, said with a face that was still not irritating even after the torture.

“No one's allowed to do that. Don't you know I hate Deus X Machina deployments? ”

“If you forgive me for striking openly, why only me?"

After speaking, Eupeter screams mentally for the pain he has suffered again. Only that VIP can cause God's soul to suffer. And as Euphyte, it was horribly violent, as is often the case for junior high school students.

VIP said, smiling sadly as a junior high school student.

“Did you believe I was being so generous? Anyway, don't call it rubber. Apollo. It's the name of a god you shouldn't have profaned. I'm more pissed when I think about it. Does it come down like that and make the Apollo a cheap god like you? ”

“Cheap God? I'm a...

“Why, did I give instructions to other gods through you, and you thought you were a gel-high? No! You're just some errand boy. If you work with other gods, they'll hurt you, so the least you can do is give them directions. Do you understand what I'm saying? ”

“Identify the subject. ”

“That's right. If it's the same, it's killing me right away, but I know it's a generous move, considering that this was meant to reduce my stress. After all, Apollo's power is reaped so that he can no longer abuse it. ”

Speaking of which, the VIP smiled, and when he saw the look on his face, he realized that the VIP was satisfied with what he had done earlier, and yet he was willing to fix his habits and torture him.

Meanwhile, VIP looked at the monitor again. A very big monitor, the world that became a favorite game for the VIP.

I saw people who became game characters, living in that world.

I lit up the monitor. A character that VIP likes.

Looking at him, VIP smiled, and immediately asked Eupeter if he didn't want to show his mood.

“If this happens again, I won't forgive you. Immediate dismissal. Understand? ”

Yes, yes, and with his head down, Eupeter retreated to his residence. Then I sat on the sacred throne of heaven, prepared for myself, and looked at the monitor that illuminated the world.

I saw Emperor Wook leveling. Seeing him, he sneaks a smile, just like the VIP did.

In fact, Uther anticipated the wrath of the VIP. As you know, I've done my job. For one purpose that happened about forty years ago.

Uther wanted the end of the game.

And just now, the intervention of Apollo God was going to affect some of the potential winners of that game. I didn't know if Apollo's intelligence was going to win, but anyway.
