Record of a Thousand Lives

The third trial is over.

It felt like a long time ago.

Kang Yoon-soo entered the white space and examined the bone fragments obtained as a reward.

"Bone Fragment of the Lord in the Commandment"

A piece of bone spilled by the Death King who rules the throne. Breaking it will break the boundary between the world and the system for a while.

The Bone Fragment of the Lord Myung Gyeol is very dangerous, but useful for later use.

He puts the reward in his backpack and prepares for the next trial.

‘There are only two trials left. ’

Kang Yoon-soo immediately challenged the fourth trial.

White space has changed.

* * *

Kang Yoon-soo looked straight at me.

I could see, but I had no eyes.

He was not a man.

His consciousness was trapped in a massive structure.

“Hey, bro! Are you sure you want to go this way? ”

“Cute guy. You still haven't fixed that habit of knife-throwing monsters? ”

“Hmph. Hungry. ”

“Don't be so greedy! Monsters are all my prey. ”

I heard voices mixed up.

Kang Yoon-soo was conscious, but solid.

"Three Years of Reordan Empire, Eight Months of Hope.

Once upon a time, a man was thrown into the ruins for reasons he did not know.

He hid from powerful monsters and survived by himself, ripping off the bodies of adventurers.

The man hurriedly decided to leave the ruins.

But it was impossible.

Somehow, even though he was wandering around all day, he couldn't get out of the ruins.

He was attacked even when he asked for help from adventurers who came to the ruins.

The man vomited and was frustrated because he could not escape the ruins.

Somewhere along the way, his body began to cling to the ruins.

Arms and legs were firmly pressed against the stone wall, and it was hard to get up as the day went on.

He was becoming one with the ruins.

And he realized,

He was eaten by the ruins.

But it was too late.

He became a ruin, and it was an undeniable fate.

Finally, the man became a ruin, and I realized one thing.

The treasure of the heart is stolen, and when the ruins are conquered, he dies.

So the ruined man decided to protect the treasure of the heart and slaughter the adventurers who entered the ruins.

Legendary mercenaries are inside the ruins at the moment.

Annihilate the legendary mercenaries and protect the treasure at the heart of the ruins.

Kang Yoon-soo from this trial is a ruin.

In short, it was the dungeon itself.

It was a unique test to become a ruin, not a human or a monster.

"The ruins are tightly connected by hundreds of different rooms and passageways.

There are guardians in each room and there are small and large rewards.

Whenever an intruder steals a reward, the health of the ruins is gradually lost.

It disappears when the treasure of the heart is stolen.

Current HP 97% "

You literally have to defend yourself against mercenaries.

Immediately, I thought of possible actions as a ruin.

"You can see all the situations inside the ruins.

You can change the ruins to trigger various traps.

Damage to stone walls or decorations reduces health.

You can control the monsters inside the ruins or possess them.

Can consume vitality and build up.

First, Kang Yoon-soo identified the number of mercenaries who had infiltrated the ruins.

The current mercenary number 1,841

The mercenaries armed with rare and glittering superior weapons were dividing their ranks to explore the ruins.

“Where is the treasure? ”

“You look more lost than that. ”

“Let's break down the wall first and find a way. ”

A capable explorer would try to find his way to the heart of the ruins.

But finding a way for the tough mercenaries was a waste of time.

The mercenaries start to tear the heavy brick wall apart.

87 mercenaries are destroying the stone wall.

HP reduced by 2%.

HP that decreases when ruins are destroyed.

I was not a legendary mercenary.

‘I've got to get up. ’

Kang Yoon-soo regained consciousness.

The ruins wiggle as I give my strength.

"Raises a heavy gigantic body.

It becomes a ruin of life.

The field of view changes.

-10% Health.

Raedd…….

The whole ruin is vibrating.

“Ugh, ugh! ”

“Why are the ruins suddenly shaking? ”

The mercenaries are surprised, but they stab the ground and calmly guard the center of their bodies.

Kang Yoon-soo woke up.

‘Kars Mountains. ’

It was a much thicker and wider mountain range than the Hatar Mountains used to be.

Kang Yoon-soo was a spectacular ruin that was visible to the wide mountain range at first sight.

My whole body was made of solid stone walls, but I had short arms and legs.

He started walking.

"Start a short walk.

Each step costs 0.1% Health.

Greater than the Giants you encountered in the Desert of Doom.

Every time I walked, the mountain range rang.

Animals and monsters were trampled on by Kang Yoon-soo.

“Cough!”

"212 wild beasts, 17 boss monsters slaughtered!

I dried 92 wild flowers and rare herbs.

You are completely destroying the mountain range's ecosystem.

The dense trees broke at Kang Yoon-soo's feet and the pile of dirt was carved out.

‘It can't even be compared to the previous trials. ’

The first trial of being a prisoner.

A second ordeal that was a great sorcerer, but very limited.

A third trial that began with a worthless soul.

However, the fourth trial was truly powerful.

‘It's a slight loss of life, but it doesn't matter. ’

Kang Yoon-soo continued walking.

The mercenaries vibrated the ruins and survived even if they moved backwards.

"You have walked more than 600 steps.

Current HP 21% "

The ruins are huge.

He soon reached the volcano beyond the mountains.

Heat volcanoes that seem to melt with just access to ordinary life.

However, it was now a dormant volcano.

‘I'm gonna blow it up.'

Kang Yoon-soo struck the crater at the volcano without rest.

"Roughly smash the craters of the volcano.

Reduces HP by 5%.

Kuaang -!

A loud explosion sounds.

From a volcano covered in gray volcanic ash, red lava seeps out.

The volcano, which has been dormant for centuries, restarts its activities with intense external pressure.

Alcher volcano is erupting!

The ragged lava erupted into the mountains and set off a massive forest fire.

Animals were killed by swarms and suffocated with intense smoke.

He took a deep breath.

No matter what he was trying to do now, he needed a temporary wakeup call.

Kang Yoon-soo recalled.

‘I was crazy. ’

He slammed his face into the crater.

Tsk, tsk!

The stone wall melts because of the lava.

The stone wall is strong enough to heat, but it won't last long.

Reduces HP by 0.5% per second.

It didn't just end with a slap in the face.

Kang Yoon-soo swallowed the boiling lava like a teapot.

The lava came inside and swallowed the mercenaries.

“Arabic show? What is that? ”

“Lava incoming! ”

Hundreds of mercenaries were swallowed up by the waves of lava and died instantly.

However, the mercenaries were not amused.

They take out their ice knives and hammers, among their many weapons.

“Freezing cold, let the fever fade before your eyes! ”

“A wall of steel ice will defend us! ”

The mercenaries used various spells to raise the cold to block the flow of lava.

Or he built a powerful ice wall and hid behind it and defended himself.

The current number of mercenaries 1,312

Kang Yoon-soo pulled his head out of the crater before his vitality reached zero.

You killed about 500 people. ’

A mercenary would have been wiped out immediately by Lava.

However, the mercenaries who broke into Kang Yun-su are called Legends.

People who have slaughtered or killed hundreds of monsters.

They weren't the kind of bastards who would die this lightly.

"Dozens of rooms are being destroyed by lava!

Slowly reduces HP.

Current HP 3% "

‘I'll die like this if I have to. ’

Kang Yoon-soo stopped standing still.

I changed my gaze and looked inside the ruins.

Not long after the monsters were killed by boiling lava.

‘It's a great ruin. ’

A Tidal Goblin is wearing heavy armor.

The ogre holds a sharp blade in one hand and gives a cold-eyed look.

It is not just the incompetent monsters, but it is organized and active.

Kang Yoon-soo moved consciously and decided which monster to possess.

‘The bigger the monster, the more likely the mercenaries are to be defeated. ’

Therefore, Kang Yoon-soo's chosen monster was the smallest and weakest Gremlin.

I possessed the wicked Gremlin.

Ruins cannot be left and possession will be released upon death.

Gremlin.

A monster smaller than a Goblin.

It was a really weak monster, except it could fly with very little magic.

‘It's an excellent ruin, stronger than a regular Gremlin. ’

Kang Yoon-soo possessed by Gremlin went around the room.

It was to prevent the chambers from being destroyed by the flowing lava.

Kang Yoon-soo closed the magic door in each room to minimize the damage caused by lava.

Meanwhile, I encountered a group of mercenaries.

“Oh! There's a monster! ”

“Whoever catches it first has one more valuable item coming out of the ruins! ”

The mercenaries ran towards Kang Yoon-soo with greedy eyes.

Kang Yoon-soo swiftly dodged their swords and swung her nails.

However, the mercenaries giggle without forgetting a single eyebrow.

“What? You're pretty good with gremlin, huh? ”

“Gremlin's never dodged my sword before. Let's try to stop this. ”

“How can you cut off a cheek if your fingernails are so dirty? ”

It was impossible for Gremlin to survive in front of skilled mercenaries.

Kang Yoon-soo was stabbed to death by a mercenary blade.

He regains consciousness in the road ruins.

Life was reduced by just 0.8% in the meantime.

"You're about to die. ’

Kang Yoon-soo jumped to the mountain at the top of the mountain range, widening his footprint as much as possible.

He crouches his palms and digs the base of the mountain.

Then it revealed an underground city that was densely packed like an ant house.

“Shhh!”

“What a lightning bolt! ”

“Hey, look at that! A ruin that moves by itself! ”

The Dwarves living in the underground city looked up Kang Yoon-soo with their surprised eyes.

As dwarves, their fallen cities are no longer at stake.

Dwarves have swallowed up the most magnificent structures they've ever seen.

“Well, what is that building? ”

“It's not a dwarf thing. Who the hell did this? ”

“A non-dwarf could build such a magnificent building? ”

“That looks like a ruin. It's very worn out.It wouldn't be much of an old-fashioned girl if I just fixed it. ”

The dwarves groan and taste.

At that time, Kang Yoon-soo lowered his head and opened his mouth wide.

The dwarves look at each other.

“What the hell is that? ”

“Aren't you asking us to come in? ”

“Then... can I touch it?" ”

It is an honor and desire to build and care for Dwarves.

The blind Dwarf artisans take the Polish Bag and start entering the ruins.

Of course, no dwarf stopped the artisans.

Only one Dwarf shouted in haste.

“Wait! You bastards! We need to stay here and fix them! ”

A large number of dwarves came inside Kang Yoon-soo and began repairs.

97 Dwarves came in.

A skilled Dwarf craftsman repairs a broken stone wall.

Slowly heals HP.

Great decoration increases your Max Health by 135%.
