“I'm back.”

“Yeah, come take a look at this. ”

I met a friend who had been on errands at a convenience store in the area.

“... Can you start by telling me that you've been working hard on your poverty? ”

“Yes, well done. Joon-suk, look at this. ”

Lee Jun-seok frowned at the absent attitude of the castle.

But he knew that Kim Min-hyuk was kind and caring, and instead of getting annoyed, he received a message from Kim Min-hyuk.

“This is from the guy who came out a few days ago. It was an act of self-immolation during the race. From here on out, I encountered another hostile challenger. We spoke a few words. Black smoke appears. The opponent is dead.”

The user sees black smoke, and the target dies.

The results were unclear as to the cause.

“Aren't we missing something? Or maybe he didn't see it right. ”

“I don't think so. This is information from the vigilantes. ”

“... vigilantes? ”

The vigilantes know how difficult it is to communicate between the inside and outside of the tutorial.

Some months are hard to get information that is lacking and crooked, and some moons don't even come in.

The vigilantes, who are well aware of this fact, have always sent a thorough note of the information they know.

Above all, I didn't think Park Jung-ah, who was paranoid, would export such poor information.

“I don't think they know what happened. That's why he sent you here. ”

Seeing opinions can lead to factual information that is incorrect.

Kim Min-hyuk asked Lee Jun-seok again.

“What do you think? ”

“Well, I think I can do something about that. ”

Min-hyuk was surprised when he asked.

“You can do it? ”

“No... I mean, Master Hoyt can do it. I used to be obsessed with invisible technology because it was his heart sword. I've actually done it before. It's not that surprising to think about. Wouldn't it kill you to put an awl through a heart like a stake? ”

It was a reasonable opinion.

“There were no visible injuries. And if the opponent is a high-level challenger on Hell difficulty, would he die instantly because his heart was punctured? ”

“An attack with mixed electric shocks is possible. You get a fever, you don't bleed out from the pain, you paralyze yourself as soon as you get through the episode, and you're going to collapse, and you're going to be shocked enough to die. Of course, keeping it out of sight is another problem, but what would a fox brother do? ”

I heard that it might be possible again, "Kim Min-hyuk muttered.

Min-hyuk Kim also cleared Normal difficulty, and he had a long experience in the tutorial, but he could not guess the ability of Lee Jun-seok or Lee.

Common sense, of course, that doesn't make sense. ’Whenever it was denied, I felt like this could happen.

“How many, now? ”

“You must be scared. ”

I replied with a tone that seemed natural to Joon-suk Lee.

It was the answer Kim Min-hyuk had heard many times before.

When Kim Min-hyuk last saw Lee Ho-jae, he already had a unique power.

More than a decade has passed since.

It was hard to guess what kind of power Kim Min-hyuk would have now.

“You said Lee Yeon-hee went up to the 60th floor. Worried?”

“Did you see the article? ”

“Yes. As soon as I got off at the airport, ”

Yeon-hee Lee finally reached the 60th floor of Hell difficulty.

The whole world was obsessed with it.

It was not a strange story considering the status of the Awakened in these days and the symbolism of Hell difficulty.

The problem is that such interest towards the tutorial challengers has been gossiped.

It has been that way ever since the developed world began to slip away from the threats of monsters and gates.

Bets were placed on which challenger would pass the Hell difficulty first, or when to arrive on which floor.

In the pro, Tv produced countless documentaries about challengers on Hell's difficulty.

In the United States, we have idolized them and even traded in character.

In the past, if you were a hell-level challenger, you usually referred to the U.S. and South Korean servers.

In the United States, with national support, we had the most challengers for health difficulties.

Korea's servers had an Irregular called Lee Ho-jae.

The media said the two servers were competitive, and that the first Hell difficulty emerging countries, or countries that recruit them, would take on a new form of leadership in the international community.

Up until a few years ago, the US Hell difficulty had 10 challengers on the 30th floor.

The media also said it would be possible to clear faster than South Korean servers.

Challengers on the U.S. server who carry out multiple simultaneous attacks will not be interrupted on the 60th floor where party play is forced.

But what stopped them was not the 60th floor, but the 30th floor wall.

It has been several years since American challengers reached the 30th floor, but their top floor is still only 33 floors.

After the deaths of five challengers on the 34th floor, they have not taken a step forward.

In the meantime, Yeon-hee Lee's progress started.

Lee Yeon-hee slowly and steadily surpassed the 30th floor while the challengers of the U.S. server were eliminated.

After reaching the 40th floor, I was wondering if the target is slowing down. Recently, the target speed has increased dramatically.

Whenever Yeon-hee's number of floors going up three or four floors in a car was revealed, people were excited.

And Lee Yeon-hee arrived on the 60th floor.

Of course, the media were excited about the attack on Hell's difficulty.

After clearing Lee Ho-jae and Lee Yeon-hee, I predicted the march or reimagined their past.

I've been telling stories like the tectonic fluctuations of the Awakening Plywood starting with their clears all day long.

In some ways, people's enthusiasm may be natural.

The major cities are now some way away from monster threats, but they are not yet complete.

There was still no chance of being ambushed by monsters while walking the road at night, and traffic was sometimes paralyzed at the gate created. Even now, the number of monsters is growing exponentially in the area occupied by monsters.

Moreover, many people shared experiences that had lost close relatives due to the wavelengths of the catastrophe that had lasted more than a decade ago.

He didn't even know Kim Min-hyuk's expectations and hopes for the Awakening from Hell difficulty.

‘The problem is that it won't be the same as expected. ’

Lee Ho-jae, whom Min-hyuk knew, was like a monk who was not interested in quicksand.

Always doing what you want to do, doing what you think is right.

Above all, he hated the idea of someone telling him what to do, leaving something he didn't want to do.

The hemispheric matrix was filled with a psychotic matrix.

No matter what people expect of him, Lee Ho-jae is likely to ignore his expectations.

I don't know about Lee Yeon-hee, but Kim Min-hyuk knew there was only one person who could clear the 61st floor.

And there is a very high chance that the person who clears the 61st floor will be Lee Ho-jae and Lee Yeon-hee.

“But didn't you usually decide not to blow this thing up? I thought I'd tell you later that you only went up to the 59th floor and then went up to the 60th floor. ”

I asked Joon-suk as if he was curious.

As soon as he learned that Lee Yeon-hee had gone up to the 60th floor, he knew that he had agreed to bury the information with the Korean government for a while.

“There's a bird out of the government. ”

Thanks to that, only Kim Min-hyuk's headache was getting worse every day.

Kim Min-hyuk wanted to hide this fact for a little longer.

Before Lee Ho-jae came out, he had to prepare a little more.

But now that it's been reported, preparation will be even more difficult.

“That's what government officials do. ”

Unlike Lee Joon-suk, who said he could do that, it was Kim Min-hyuk who wanted to find the person who leaked the information and wring his neck and shake it.

Fortunately.

You completed the building on top of the Summon Portal before it was too late.

Challengers who have completed the tutorial are summoned from the center of the capital city.

In Korea, it was in front of Seoul Station.

Of course, the place became a landmark.

Every time I heard someone was coming out of there, the broadcaster would camp out in front of him.

As soon as the Awakeners came out, the camera pointed at them.

Sometimes people gather in front of Seoul Station for summoning on good days.

Every time, the audience of the broadcaster rose, and the commercial rights near Seoul Station where people gathered were lively.

For them, the summons of the Awakened were a festival.

However, as soon as I came out of the world, there were more Awakeners who liked the situation in which people had to be cheered and interviewed.

Most of them have been trapped in tutorials for as little as a year or longer, and returning to Earth makes them feel complicated.

May be happy, may be afraid.

Bringing attention, cheer, and microphone to a confused Awakening was never a good idea.

Min Hyuk thought that even ordinary Awakeners would not tolerate the irritating situation.

Kim Min-hyuk built a building around the summoning portal in front of Seoul Station.

Despite many objections, the building was completed earlier this month by pushing back and forth with the power of human rights organizations and the Awakeners he had attracted to the guild.

The reporters who are camped out for the interview in front of the building, and the spectators as well, but the Awakening is able to at least prepare their minds and welcome them.

The last problem is that this building is government issue.

Given the recent behavior of the government, we could not guarantee what would happen if we left Lee Ho-jae's meeting with the government personnel.

A Korean government that has been swarming with the Awakening Spill and the battle for power against the guild.

I didn't know what kind of crazy shit the government officials were gonna do with the gold badge.

“It's imperative that we wait and meet. ”

“The government is going to shit. ”

“I'll take it.”

If you make a mistake, the damn government will disappear.

Min-hyuk Kim was willing to accept the government's concession, even if he gave a lot of things well.

If it was not settled, I had to meet Lee Ho-jae first, even if there was a time I occupied Seoul Station with the guild members that day.

Of course, that was the final number, and perhaps the condition of handing over or returning some of the guild's interests to the government.

“I'll be busy again for a while. Oh, how'd it go with your business trip? ”

“You're quick to ask. ”

Lee Jun-seok smiled and replied.

“I was wondering if you could ask me about tea and sweets. I just got back from Antarctica. ”

* * *

Lee Jun-seok said, forgetting one chocolate pie.

“There are too many Class G monsters that hunt in America. The theory that the U.S. military used nuclear weapons was dominant, but the radiation levels were low. In that case, I think we should think about it separately. ”

Of the G class monsters that existed on Earth and existed, only one was killed on the east coast of the United States.

Since then, all attempts to hunt Class G monsters have failed.

When Joon-suk finished the tutorial, the most noteworthy thing was the hunt for this Class G monster.

In fact, he tried to hunt with the World Association, giving up the hunt at the last minute and returning to Korea.

The blame was poured on Lee Jun-seok, but he did not withdraw his decision.

Lee Jun-seok thought it was right to kill other monsters all over the world rather than dealing damage to the class G monsters that wouldn't budge from his realm.

“This was the last time you saw it from Antarctica, right? ”

“Yes, I've checked every grade G with this. ”

“How was it?”

Kim Min-hyuk wanted to know the power, even if he didn't kill a class G monster right away.

I had Lee Jun-seok scout class G spread all over the world, trying to determine the possibility of an attack.

“Unavailable. I can't touch you.”

It was a decisive answer.

It was a class G hunting success almost ten years ago, led by the United States.

I can't recover the Awakened Power that was lost at the time, so it's still difficult to attack a few times earlier.

Lee Jun-seok wedged Kim Min-hyuk, who was a bit annoying.

“You don't need to be in G-class. ”
