The Novel’s Villain

< 23. Peace International Competition (1) >

Ed was a warrior candidate. He began his journey to become a true warrior after he chose estran, the sword blessed by the goddess.

The handsome appearance and enthusiastic personality were suitable for warriors.

To become a warrior, you needed to complete the labyrinth. He organized a party of wizards, archers, and priests, stepping up from below.

‘It's going to be okay now. ’

Unlike Ed with the Sword Estran, his party was still beginner. I thought they were all full of potential, which would be a big help on the road to clearing the maze.

You have to help yourself.

“Don't worry. It's a small dungeon. ”

Edgar smiles refreshingly.

When the white machete is revealed, all the party members nod and smile.

Ed and his beginner adventurer party have finally entered a high-level dungeon. The oldest dungeon near town. It was already under siege, but it was a good experience. A skilled warrior, Ed enters the dungeon with the rest of the party.

It was Poison Slime Dungeon. Once this dungeon is cleared, you are able to advance to the intermediate dungeon.

“Cute-looking slime, but pretty powerful. So be careful!”

I went ahead and said that. Slime was kind of cute looking. But Ed didn't look down on you. That was the heart to become a warrior.

The party members believed in him. I spread the map and got used to it.

“Huh? What is it? ”

Ed tilts his head.

Something went wrong. It was easy to tell because it was pierced in a straight line, but strangely crooked. It felt ominous.

“Ed, is this the right place? ”

“Huh? That box there · · · ·. ”

The wizard approaches the chest.

There can be no trap in the beginner's dungeon, so no one can stop it. It was the moment I opened the box.

Geez!

The chest opens, and you swiftly attack the wizard. A bunch of tentacles burst out of the box and became a monstrous monster with giant teeth.

Ed pulls out the fearless wizard.

Something was wrong.

A slime with disgusting eyes comes running towards you with a sharp tentacle. Ed sprints forward, pulling out his sword.

I defeated Slime, but the atmosphere was strange.

I never thought of it as a beginner dungeon.

“It's okay! Slow down! Calm down!" ”

That's what Edgar said.

The archer steps back and steps on something.

Machine Gigg!

You hear the machine spinning.

Whew!

A huge chunk of iron rolls in from the side. It was big enough to sound a dungeon.

“Everyone, run! ”

“Gaaaah!”

Ed's party begins to flee with power. I ran frantically, avoiding the lump of iron, and came to the depths of the dungeon.

There was a bridge in front of him. It was the moment Ed and the party reached the center of the bridge.

All the light disappears around you.

The Wizard's Light Magic suddenly disappeared.

I don't see anything. “Th-that's okay! Chi, calm down! ”

Ed pacifies everyone and raises his sword against Estran.

A white light emanates from the paladin Estran. Ed is barely relieved. Edgar looks back to reassure the party members. The mouths of wizards, archers, and priests spread. I had a blue complexion.

“Ah, ah, ah. ”

“Huh · · ·. ”

Whiplash!

Everyone trembled.

“Why, why? W-what's going on? ”

The archer points his trembling finger at Ed's back. Ed turns slowly.

“Ahh · · ·. ”

Ed is on the bridge now. However, there were red glares all around.

Ed glances at the place slowly with his sword. There are a bunch of bizarre, crooked skeletons attached to the wall.

Skeletons have tentacles full of visceral tentacles.

“Flee · · ·. ”

I couldn't go back the way I came. Skeletons stand at the entrance and exit of the bridge. The skeleton brings a sharp sickle to the rope between its legs.

Tuck!

Slowly, I hung up one by one.

“Ugh!”

“Ha, don't! ”

“Oh, no! ”

The skeleton flinches.

It seemed as if they were enjoying the terror.

“Huff!”

“Ugh!”

Tuck!

The ropes snap, and they fall down.

Before losing consciousness, Ed sees something written in red.

What was waiting for you down there was hell itself.

* * *

The horse system became more peaceful, and Jinwoo became busier.

The most urgent thing was to keep the horses from starving. The Horsemen lived a very hungry life, just like the old Arina. I had to help her grow up like Elondi. After all, the owner of the barge was fierce.

First, Arina instructed the chieftains of each tribe and the elders of each tribe to bring back what they could do well.

Arina held a large business demonstration in Mahjong, as Jinwoo instructed. The vision was to create a dimensional gold coin on a giant planet controlled by Jinwoo!

He could have gone through the General Manager's training and entered the JW Gate jurisdiction and sold goods online in conjunction with the jurisdiction. Having access to the internet at Sanctuary, Arina was able to play an intermediate role.

Jinwoo is in the territory of Sarah Briak, now called the City of Gold. I was in a big, gorgeous room, and Arina was sitting next to him.

‘It's complicated.’

Jin Woo was listening to the Horsemen's business plan. The anamenfath or noble horsemen were waiting outside the room with their license plates on, one by one, to announce their business plans.

Arina sends a signal and opens the door and comes in a horseman with number 11.

For a horse, he was dressed modestly. It was completely exposed, but it felt inviting.

She was a rare beauty among the Horsemen.

“This is Release Porunna. It is an immeasurable honor to meet you. ”

I gently greeted Jinwoo and sat down in a chair. Jin Woo saw a document with her personal information. "The Circus Queen"? ’

She was the queen of the circus. It was different from what Jin Woo had thought. She used to help with the film work in Arina. And she was also an artisan who made the best potions on the market.

Not from the original.

However, there were rumors that the original writer had previously uploaded something with 19 gold. Unfortunately, I didn't see it.

Jin Woo looked through the documents again.

“Adult supplies and regular collection · · ·. I think I need an explanation. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Release gets up from her seat and pulls something out of her arms. Jinwoo looks at it and flinches slightly. It was a wide variety of adult goods that I thought I would have to mosaic.

Moonlight!

“This is a potion or adult product that gives benefits to both men and women without overwhelming the body. ”

“Hmm · · · ·. ”

“There are also benefits to fertility and fertility depending on the type. And it solves fatal erectile dysfunction in middle-aged beings without side effects. Dygent, who was once the Demon King, also used to love it. And this... ”

Glug glug!

It contains all the know-how that has been accumulating since the Horse System was formed. There was a huge range of advantages and fatal performance to suit all tastes.

I put the violent stuff in the Storage, but the whole Storage disappeared when the Maze Monarch finally arrived.

After hearing the explanation, Jinwoo thought it was really good to disappear. It was a very dangerous artifact to disclose externally.

· · · that can change your own taste.

‘Not to mention selling in the jurisdiction · · ·. ’

I would have liked to sell online with a full license

“Well, what about regular collection? ”

“Periodicity is the most important ingredient in producing potions. Since the horse system lacks pure routine, there are limits to production of potions. ”

Potion production has dropped a lot lately. Everything else could be solved with dimensional gold coins, but it was hard to find as pure as usual.

I guess it was a horror system.

Jin Woo listened to the release.

He wants to join the Incuvus tribe and enter Earth like Arina. It was the right job for them because they could absorb the energy that emanates from their popularity, enthusiasm and cheer and make it regular.

They were being mistreated for dancing and singing in the magic world, but not on Earth.

It was also a release for intensive training of Arina. Vocal, said to teach you everything to dance.

‘Elonty Entertainment is fully seated, so it should be fine. ’

Elonth Entertainment is enormous, but there are only Ella, Vanity, Arina and Three.

I thought it would be okay to recruit the release as a Trainer.

“Let's review. ”

“Thank you."

It was worth reviewing

Release gave the items described as gifts.

After meeting the Horsemen, I heard various stories. The tribes of Calaris came with a prophecy cafe plan. There were quite a few things that could be salvaged in their own way.

The Horsemen are more sincere than I thought. ’

Suddenly, I thought that.

It seemed like we could proceed slowly one by one through Juna.

I stopped by Sanctuary for a moment before returning to Earth after the palace was scheduled. The maze was still in the game.

“You having fun?”

[Jam Jam. Friend. Thank you.]

“Yes."

The black tentacles also enabled the doctor's expression. I was playing a game that Jinwoo didn't even know about, but there were also some very dangerous things. I saw the title "goddess imprisonment."

The game was played by 19-year-olds who were conscientious. ‘What · · · ·. He's old, he's games, he'll be fine. ’

He wasn't even a child.

That's when the core fluctuates. I was trying to spit something out in my neck.

Phew!

Something spills from your core.

[Achoo.]

It was written in the air.

You see a white sword between the chunks of iron. It was very luxurious.

[A +] Sword Estran

A sword blessed by the goddess.

It is known as a sword that makes warriors out of the treasures of the heavens.

Only those with a clean soul can hear it.

* [A] Goddess's Blessing

* [A] Denial

It was a sword.

It was a sword that appeared in the original, but I wondered why the maze spit it out.

Looking at the labyrinth, I was again engaged in the game.

‘I have to give this back. ’

It's a good sword, but it's related to the original, so I had to give it back to you in the middle.

I thought you said you couldn't handle an unclean man. ’

I can only hear those worthy of the warrior.

I had to give it back, so I grabbed onto the sword.

“Huh?"

It sounded too easy. I could barely feel the weight. I felt like I was holding a feather.

You hear a small scream, and the white sword begins to turn black.

[S] Corrupt Magic Sword Estran

The evil god incarnate and the golden lord profaned the goddess' blessings and corrupted them. Corrupt Magic Sword Estran was originally more destructive than the Sword.

* [-S] Power of Corruption

“Ahh · · ·. ”

Can it be restored?

It was hard with Enhancement or Alchemy.

Derguron, who lived at JW Gate, seemed to know something. Jinwoo first put estran in the subspace.

‘It's not that big a deal. ’

If it could not be repaired, I thought I could replace it with another sword.

I told the maze to take a break and returned to Earth.

There were many people looking for Jin Woo on Earth.

Before the international competition, the battery training of the knights was planned, but Jin Woo did not respond to the summons for a number of reasons. That kind of training is no longer helpful, and there was a big reason to bother. Choi Hee-yeon also did not participate because she was shocked by the horoscope.

Since Jin Woo left the human race and reached the monarchy's foothills, he could not grow into normal training. I had to achieve the right job.

‘Maybe we should do a good job. ’

I was going to mix it up among the knights who were participating in the international competition and make good grades.

And I was going to focus on the intermediate and other dimensions once things were resolved in some way. In particular, the intermediate system was a huge place. It was also a place affected by the celestial system.

‘I should get along well with the heavenly host. ’

The Celestials were as good as the Elves. There was also an existence in heaven that could be called the main hero of the original. If we were friendly with the heavenly beings, we could keep the peace by preventing the disaster that would come to us in the middle.

I heard shocking news when I was thinking that. [Wounded during Korean Knights Battery Training!]

[Power loss serious! National crisis!]

A story like that came up.

All the recruiting knights who had left battery training for the dungeons at the high seas gate were injured. It looks like the healers could use some adhesion to recover, but there's something wrong with their mental health.

It was not from the original. The proportion of the Korean Knights was very small because it was explained that everyone participated normally.

Senior knights were also known to have participated in the battery training. When the factions united to meet the greatest peak in the history of the Korean Knights, they all flew away from battery training.

“What the hell is going on? ”

“They say they need long-term psychotherapy. I pulled the data from the inside of the room. Would you like to take a look?”

Jinwoo nodded and played the video through a laptop in front of Jinwoo.

You see the knight lying in his room, looking awkward. An association figure approaches him.

- Lord Kwak Hansung?

- Ugh. Whoo-hoo!

The renowned knight, Kwak Hansung, vomited on the barrel next to him. His eyes are bloodshot, whether he can't sleep. The therapist and medical staff were standing by for the seizure.

- What happened?

- Khh, khh. Something in the dark maze, one by one. Huge green for me, Cough. Aah! No! Don't! Aah! I'm not!

- Ma'am, he's in magical shock!

- Ji, give him a sedative!

The situation was very urgent. Kwak Hansung was the latest article discovered by the rescue team. When they found him, all his equipment and clothes were stripped off.

It was not that dangerous because it was a suitable dungeon for cell training. There were no fatalities, but it is said that the sequelae is severe, just like Kwak Hansung. Fortunately, even though the treatment is currently in remission, it was difficult to enter the competition.

‘Kwak Hansung is Ace who has competed in the international competition 3 times · ·. ’

He was a figure who went through hell.

So, how did his mental collapse like that?

I turned off the video and looked at the article. The official position of the association was also announced, but the situation was quite severe.

“The training of other countries has also been canceled. There's been an anomaly at the gates of the world. ”

“Hmm · · · ·. ”

“Any guesses? ”

Jinwoo thought for a moment.

I just remembered an advertising banner next to the internet window.

[Dark Blood Dungeon! Everything you think is hopeless! Try it now!]

As soon as I saw the advertisement, a sight passed through my mind. A maze that is immersed in games day and night.

There were many games he played, most notably the Dark Blood Dungeon. There were also 19 gold games playing. Jinwoo even gave him several gifts for his tablet PC and laptop because he felt sorry for him.

The dungeon at the gate was connected to the labyrinth.

“Ahh · · ·. ”

“Young master?”

“No, I don't know. ”

I had a hunch, but it was an excuse.

Jinwoo swallowed his saliva and said so.

Yuna nods at the young master who seems to be hiding something. It was hard to ask. You must be carrying something like a Black Salt Dragon.

The young master never showed weakness.

‘You care about my weakness. ’

That's what Juna thought. Perhaps others feel the same way.

Yuna received a call from Jinwoo asking for forgiveness.

“Yes, Chairman. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, got it. ”

Yuna hangs up her phone and looks at Jinwoo.

“Is that the chairman of the association?”

“Yes, it is. ”

“What?” Jinwoo folds his laptop and asks.

“The young master has become the leader of the Korean Knights. ”

“Me?”

The International Competition entry list was already submitted and cannot be changed. I had to put the candidates in the running, and the most popular and talented knights in Group 1 were the best.

The plan to bury him moderately has already failed.

Jin Woo became the youngest director of all time.

It was a world record.

* * *

It became the opening day of the International Competition after digesting various schedules as a director.

The international competition was a global festival, but it had the opposite side of the tomb of knights. Unlike the last competition, there were many variables. Jinwoo became the youngest director, which attracted a lot of attention, but something worse happened.

The Japanese government and the Association of Talents offered a living sacrifice to summon the Demon King. We didn't know who sent it, but evidence and photographs flowed into the league, and the Japanese Association was disbanded by the league.

The party also claimed that what happened to the Demon King of China must have been done by Japan, but it was convincing. It is because there is evidence of an ongoing deal with the Demon King. This was the betrayal of all mankind. Moreover, Japan has also claimed that the situation outside the gate has occurred.

The Japanese government was disputing injustice, but it was only counterproductive. Jinwoo just tilted his head at the news. For some reason, Japan used all of them.

Anyway, the international competition had to go down, so Korea close to Japan decided to host it. There was no problem because there was already enough infrastructure.

It's the same thing that happens at the high seas gate...

The gate on the high seas was a large island. It was a place where only the rules set by the Federation were applied. There was no human rights.

Jin Woo came to the arena to participate in the opening ceremony.

All the articles from countries participating in the international competition participated in the opening ceremony, and many stakeholders and audiences were filling the arena.

It was a heat that lightly jumped over the World Cup or the Olympics. The venue was being broadcast live to the world.

He looks at the Knights.

Everyone knew him, including Choi Hee-yeon. These were articles that were filled with death flags during the Chinese crisis. The knights stare into the snow with hot eyes.

It was very heavy.

“Master, this...”

Choi Hee-yeon gave me the knight's uniform as a symbol of the director.

It is the dream of every knight to wear this and enter the international competition. However, Jinwoo sighed a little. I never wanted to take this annoying position.

“Master! You're the only one who looks good in that outfit! ”

“No pressure! ”

The knights said that without knowing the speed of others.

‘Everything will be fine. ’

It was peaceful and Japan was permanently removed from the international competition, so there was nothing to worry about. Jin Woo nodded and participated in the opening ceremony.

The international competition was nothing compared to what had happened so far.

Seoul Arena Stadium was full of spectators. Outside the Arena Stadium, the festival was taking place and filled with foreign tourists.

Visiting the JW Cultural Centre and coming to the Stadium became a tourist course.

The Air Force, of course, broadcast the opening ceremony.

[Yes! We are here at the Arena Stadium at the opening ceremony of the International Competition for Senior Talent. My name is Castor Kim Sung-jin, and I would like your help with a false lord.]

[Haha! Hello. It's empty.]

[The War of Stars organized by the International Talent Federation and hosted by the Korean Talent Association is about to begin! The atmosphere is already rising. In fact, many people are praying for Korean propaganda and worrying about it.]

Idleness nods.

[Yes, but I am confident that President Lee Jin-woo, the proud hero of Korea and the world, will do well. If you are mentally armed with a desperate sense of old-fashioned country, I think it can be a comfort to call.]

[Yes, South Korea is determined! Isn't that right? As soon as I told you, the opening ceremony started.] The opening ceremony was largely sponsored by a first-line group and supported by G&P. The artifact installed in the center of the Arene Stadium resurfaced a very vivid hologram.

The opening ceremony has finally begun!
