The Protagonists Are Murdered By Me Chapter 18: 91-95, a 13 tzameti fanfic

Chapter 91

The minimum requirement for a successful S rank dungeon raid was 3 S rank hunters and 20 A rank hunters.

If so, in order to attack the SS Rank Dungeon, which is also called an 'out of ordinary' dungeon, how many hunters would be needed?

The answer is, at least a SS rank hunter was required. Of course, you could also succeed with a team consisting of dozens of S rank hunters.

That's very fortunate, because in this banquet, a lot of S rank superhumans were gathered. The total number of S rank superhumans present here was about 40, and there's also close to 10 S rank hunters from Morian Guild.

S rank knights had the ability to defeat at least A rank monster.

However, in order to hunt monsters effectively, a superhuman 'Hunter' was needed, more than knights.

Why? Because a Knight's ability was only spectacular, extensive and not effective against monsters.

"Shit, a bastard lit a fire on the monster's head!"

"Hey! Its jaw is opened up, Step back!"

"These damn knights! If you don't know how to hunt monsters, please stay still!"

"Ah! Your skill also hit me!"

Making the hunt inefficient and also causing damage to their own allies.

In addition, monsters had a different body structure from humans. They shouldn't attack the monster with the same 'weak points' as human.

By the way, that's the only thing the knights know. So what can they do?

They grew up only fighting among themselves to hone their anti-personnel combat technique.

All of their battles weren't life threatening. It was nothing but a 'show' to entertain the eyes of the audience with brilliant superpowers and powerful power.

If you attack like this, I will block it like this and then I'll launch a counterattack, and you will block it like this. That was the summary of battle between knights.

Of course, that's not bad at all. With that kind of repetitive practice, they were able to react immediately when those situations happened. It was really good to be able to activate a slow superpower instantly given the situation… However, will such a 'situation' happen every time?

Battling a monster was way different from battling a human. Monsters didn't have any sort of pattern in their attack.

People are crazy about 'knights'. And knights live with that pride knowing that their superpower was much more stronger than those of hunters.

However, the reason why the public assumed that knights had stronger superpower than hunters was because hunters preferred efficiency above all. They exclude useless splendor and redundant moves as much as possible.

Knights were certainly a splendid superhuman. However, they were nothing but a novice when dealing with monsters.

Right after the entrance of Deformed dungeon burst opened, they were doing fine thanks to their strong power. But, when S rank monsters began to appear, they were slowly getting pushed back.

The knights realized for the first time.

About the world where the hunters they ignored lived in.

About the reality of the monsters who invaded Earth.

About the battlefield with real monsters.

They always lived on the elite course, they thought that if they made up their minds, they could beat monsters easily.

But that was nothing but their arrogance, the knights of the seven families realized it today.

Crackk!! Cracck!!

The entrance of the deformed dungeon was torn and something squeezed out of it. It was the head of an enormous monster with a blue scale and red eyes. The monster opened its jaw and roared.

Crackle!!

Ether sparks began to splatter all over the place.

Woooong!!

An unknown noise enveloped the hall. It was unknown whether it was a cry of a monster or a sound of space getting torn apart. and when the 'final boss' finally escaped from the deform dungeon, everyone lost their fighting spirit.

The ceiling of the building collapsed, and the light of the full moon poured on them directly. However, they couldn't see the sky because of the huge stature of the monster which blocked their view.

That's a real monster.

Until now, hunters all over the world had been fighting against those things.

"Ah……"

Even the S rank knight couldn't help but take a step back.

Only the hunters stood in front of the SS rank monster.

Looking at that giant monster, Taylor clenched her fist.

She tried to recall her past experiences and knowledge that she shared with her colleagues from a long time ago.

'Hey, can't the flying guy just attack its wings?'

'Are you crazy? Last time I touched the wing, a poison spread out and I almost fell down.'

'Seodam is right. Some flying monsters have blades on their wings.'

'Monsters are basically a creature that evolved easily. Their weaknesses that we could think of are covered by evolution.'

Through her experience of dealing with numerous monsters, Taylor was able to think about 'proper strategy' to deal with every monster. They couldn't beat it by simply relying on their superpower.

'I can do it.'

There are around 50 S rank superhumans in this place. With a proper plan, they could defeat any number of SS rank monsters.

She dragged her baseball bat and approached her father, Alexandre Blestash. Her bat was a superpower assistant that her father and her siblings despised. A symbol of weakness of someone who was unable to control their own abilities and had to rely on something.

But at this moment, Taylor Nine wielded it proudly and stood confidently in front of her father.

"Father. There's nothing to worry about. The Capital defense hunters must have been dispatched, and they will arrive before the damage gets even worse."

That's right. Russia was a superpower powerhouse, there's no way they would only wait and see the catastrophe happened in the middle of Moscow.

However, if they arrive and defeat the beast.

"…The 7 families of Knight have no power to defeat a SS rank monster, so the Hunter must help! I believe that would be the title of the article that will get published soon."

She spoke loudly deliberately so all of her siblings could hear her, but no one could refute her. So, Taylor Nine spoke once again.

"But, I am also a hunter."

She denied the title of being a knight.

"I know how to deal with that monster. As Taylor 'Nine', a hunter."

And then,

"…What if I defeat that monster as Taylor 'Blestash', a knight of the Blestash family?"

If so, the shameful stigma of defeating the monster with the help of the Hunters could be removed. Alexandre's pupil shook, he realized the meaning of Taylor's words.

It seemed that Taylor wanted to deny the mindset he had pursued all his life. However, he had to abandon his pride and make a 'deal' as the patriarch of the Blestash family.

"What do you want in return?"

"If I beat that monster under the name of Blestash, you will remove me from the family forever."

There was no room for concern.

She had been gone for so long after the family denied her existence and now for the first time ever, she said she wants to help the family albeit it will also be for the last time.

"…..okay. It's a deal."

Eventually, Alexander's permission fell, and Taylor shouted out loud at the knights of the family with an excited expression.

"From now on, I'll tell all of you about the 'proper strategy' of how to deal with that monster, so I'd really appreciate it if our honorable knights follow my lead!"

She was far from the word 'leadership', and she was also very bad at issuing commands and giving explanations. So, she only conveyed the necessary information in a very simple and ignorant manner.

"If you touch that baby's neck, it'll open its mouth right? No one should touch it before I tell you to do it."

"Hey, you stupid shit! I told you not to touch it before I said it!"

"Don't hit the wings as much as possible! Understand? If you don't, try touching it! Other knights will use your death as an example to learn from, and it's good that you, who is uselessly full of pride, disappear from this world. It's killing two birds with one stone!"

She clearly distinguished between 'do not do' and 'must do'.

"Shut up and just aim at the tail! Don't just stand there but go for it!"

"What kind of punk lit a light in front of its eyes? Did you forget what I said earlier? Don't irritate its eyes with light!"

"Hey, I just thought about it, but if you touch its nails, it will burst. Uh, you know what I mean right? Forget it, I'll take care of it by myself."

Her plan was based on the knowledge and know-how which hunters had been studying for decades while fighting against those monsters. She didn't have enough time to explain it all. Nevertheless, she showed it all using her own body.

The reason she wasn't scared of the SS rank monster was because she knew about the monster well.

As a ranked knight, Alexandre was also forced to follow Taylor Nine's instruction, and he had no choice but to regret his decision of disowning Taylor from the family.

Because,

'…It's a beautiful light.'

The ability that Taylor wielded resembled the ideal form that Alexander had pursued his whole life.

Blestash had a total of nine children, and they all dealt with light, but each of them could only deal with one specific 'form'.

Some made rods of light, some shot light bullets, some made beams of light and swung it, and some made a shield from light.

Eventually, all of her siblings met their growth ceiling and none of them could reach SS rank.

Wouldn't his youngest daughter, whom he thought as the weakest one in the family, be able to use all 'forms' freely?

Taylor Nine handled light freely.

Sometimes she wielded a rod of light, sometimes a bullet , sometimes a ray, and sometimes a shield of light. On top of the eight forms of her siblings, she was also able to use her father form 'sword of light'.

A superhuman who transcended all forms and dealt with the light itself.

Alexandre Blestash trembled in front of the fact that his youngest daughter, Taylor Blesatsh, was the closest one to SS rank in the whole family. He had abandoned someone who could realize his long-awaited dream of SS rank for honor.

'What the hell have I done…!'

Family honor? Money? Authority? Politics? That was all good. But, the reason why he raised her children strictly was to make them into a SS rank superhuman, a level that he himself could not reach.

"That, what……."

"You can use superpower like that…?"

Taylor Nine's ability was one of a kind, a superhuman blessed with God's blessing had appeared. They didn't have a set 'form' of ability and could freely change their 'form' just like Taylor.

Kuung!!

When the SS rank monster fell, people cheered briefly.

Everyone was awed by Taylor Nine's majesty. They had successfully escaped the immediate crisis. But no one could truly relax yet. The deform dungeon was still open, and thousands of beasts were waiting to pop out.

Suddenly, a seven-colored halo poured out from the sky. People glanced towards it blankly. They saw a lone 'magician' descend from the air with her hair fluttering.

Magic, an academic study that uses essence energy as their source. That was what Morian's guild master, Avon said to them. However, that magic was very familiar with ordinary superpowers. If she didn't explain it, they would only think that it was only an 'elemental' superpower.

That was their degree of knowledge about 'Magic'.

Avon may also have thought that was all magic could do.

But it wasn't.

They thought that way because they hadn't yet met the best magician on the planet.

The magic of a real 'witch' with incomparable talen who was stronger than Yoo Seodam, who taught her about magic and the flower spirit who likes magic.

"That… thing……!"

"Is that, magic…?"

Even though no one explained it, they know that what unfolded before them was magic.

Four magic circles with four different colors interlocked with each other like a cog wheel, and the fantastic power that poured out from there couldn't be explained as something other than magic.

Sometimes, a chain of translucent ice poured out and pierced the beasts, and sometimes a huge cube was created in the air to confine the beasts, and sometimes the space itself was torn apart and lava poured out from there and burned the enemies.

The wizard eventually landed in front of the entrance of the dungeon and grabbed the huge magic circle with hand.

Kwadududug!

Like a miracle, the head of a monster who emerged from the inside the dungeon shattered and the 'entrance' was completely closed.

"….."

"……"

Silence.

Everyone was forced to shut their mouths in front of the white-haired wizard who showed up with an overwhelming presence. As she slowly turned her body and looked at the world with her transparent eyes, the camera quickly turned towards her.

"Yo….you who the hell are you?"

Then, Yekaterina smiled vigorously. Her dark circles and tired eyes were nowhere to be seen. Today was the happiest day in her whole life.

"I am Yekaterina, the magician of 'Another League' guild."

Chapter 92

The situation ended quickly.

The 'knights' did not lose their honor. Long before the Hunter reinforcements arrived, they had already defeated the SS rank monster with their own strength under the command of a knight. However, the knights now know the reality. The battlefield with the monsters was by no means easy, and that the world of the hunters is a lot tougher than their own.

In addition, Taylor Blestash successfully walked away from her family with the permission of Alexandre. On her way, all of her siblings didn't even say goodbye to her.

It was because they were ashamed that they couldn't show their superpower and hid behind their youngest sibling, whom they had been neglecting so far, while she fought at the forefront when the monster appeared.

Of course, Taylor felt good about it and burst out laughing because of that.

Just before she left her father said,

"If you miss your home, be sure to come back."

But Taylor replied

"I don't think I ever will."

It's funny. Even when she came back after leaving the house for 16 years, her dad, who showed little to no interest towards her, completely changed his mind with just one incident. Without such an accident, wouldn't he have had nothing to do with her forever?

Rather than staying at such a heartless place, it was better to go to a place where she could interact with others openly no matter what happened.

Of course, Taylor Blestash couldn't leave alone.

"Please take me too!"

"…"

Secondly, Yekaterina was also successfully cutting her connection with the Morian guild. In her case, it was doubtful whether she got permission from the guild, but in any case, the Morian Guild had no choice but to let Yekaterina go according to the 'Witch's Law'.

"What can you do in society? You will soon change your thoughts."

"I don't think so!"

Both the Blestash family, who had to let go of Taylor and her transcending superpower and the Morian guild, who had to release Yekaterina, who possessed much better magic than theirs, they somehow tried to capture them again, but to no avail.

But there was still one problem left, Yekaterina didn't have a passport, money, or anything else. So, at the request of Yekaterina herself as well as Yoo Seodam, Taylor decided to take her along.

"Wow…"

Thus, presently, the two women were on a plane.

Yekaterina focused her magic on her transparent eyes. Then, her eyes changed to a pure white color resembling Yoo Seodam's eyes, this magic allowed her to temporarily gain sight.

"Wow, it's flying!"

"Ah! Don't be noisy. Is it your first time on a plane?"

"Yeah."

"…uh. okay. Anyway, stay still."

"Sure. I will also behave well."

Then she looked at the seat by the window where Taylor was sitting, and said quietly.

"Well, can't I sit by the window?"

"No."

"Hing."

The sullen Yekaterina gave up because she thought she couldn't help it. She switched her attention towards the magazine stuck in her chair. It was mostly about bags and modern fashion, but she was interested in every single thing that was good or things she couldn't come into contact with when she was confined in the Morian mansion. Even when she was freed from the nightmare, she wasn't in contact with modern civilization, but lived exclusively with her spellbook!

Taylor, looking at the figure, said with an annoyed expression.

"Move."

"eung?"

"I said move. That place looks more comfortable."

"Ah, yes! I see."

Eventually, Taylor, who gave the window seat to Yekaterina, leaned back on her chair.

Looking at the window right next to her, Yekaterina exclaimed.

"Wow! Clouds!"

It was a child-like exclamation.

Meanwhile, Taylor picked up her smartphone and turned it on.

Korean baseball game was playing on her smartphone, and Yekaterina, who was gazing at the clouds a few moments ago, also showed interest towards it.

"Oh. Is that baseball? I also like it."

"Yes. Do you know the rules?"

"It's a sport that earns points by throwing a baseball ball and hitting the goalkeeper's head."

"Are you serious?"

"Ah, of course it's a joke!"

"But it's right?"

"Ye…yes?"

Yekaterina opened her eyes wide. She was really joking, but deep down she was wondering if the rules of baseball changed without her knowing.

"Because the team I'm supporting plays just the way you talked about."

"Ah…. Then, which team are you cheering for?"

Yekaterina asked every single question carefully. It was like she was trying to get to know the world through conversation. Taylor didn't know much about her circumstances, but after talking with her only for a while, she realized that she had been trapped somewhere.

For that reason, albeit she was annoyed, she still gave her an answer.

"Hwade."

"Oh, um…. Which player do you like?"nov𝗲𝐿𝓤𝓈𝗯/𝒸\o/𝐦

"None. They are all trash."

"Ah, I see."

Most of their conversations were like that.

But Yekaterina kept talking to Taylor about many things. As if she was happy that she could talk openly with someone else.

Yekaterina, who constantly chattered like a sparrow, soon fell asleep, and Taylor shook her head and watched KBO on her smartphone.

Time passed quickly, and it didn't take long for them to arrive in Korea.

"It's really fast!"

"It's fast because you are asleep…"

Taylor looked ahead.

Incheon Airport. Arrival gate.

It's a place she often passed by, but today it felt different.

She rummaged through her pocket and pulled out one of her sunglasses.

Then she suddenly turned to her side and noticed Yekaterina, who was looking around, and gave her one as well

"What is this for?"

"Because camera flash will hurt your eyes."

"Hmm?"

Taylor explained in a rather ambiguous tone. Even Yekaterina, who had a good grasp on conversations, couldn't understand what she was talking about.

Dragging her carrier and walking confidently towards the door, Taylor said to Yekaterina.

"If you go outside, there will be many people who come to see you."

"Why…?"

When the door opened, dozens of reporters were lining up in front of the door of the international airport of Korea, which Yekaterina thought was a far place.

'Here it is.'

And then a barrage of questions were aimed towards both of them.

"(Yekaterina!)"

"(Why did you decide to go to Korea…!)"

"(What kind of relationship do you have with the guild master of Another League Yoo seodam……!)"

"(About magic…!)"

The translation device and the human voice interlocked. The noise was all over the place. Only then, Yekaterina realized that something was wrong. She faltered and took a few steps back. Her heart beat wildly. This is because it was her first time being surrounded by so many people.

She wanted to run away, but her feet didn't move. She tried to tell Taylor she wanted to go back. But, Taylor only smirked at her.

"Tsktsk. Watch what this Unnie will do carefully."

"…..?"

Before Yekaterina could ask what she meant, Taylor dragged her carrier and walked forward. She raised her fist to the air and raised her middle finger.

"Fuck you!"

She shouted.

"……!"

It was surprising for Yekaterina.

Wouldn't all those black people, who felt so terrifying, be embarrassed?

From then on, Taylor walked confidently and spoke in Russian, not Korean.

"We will tell you everything in an official interview later. So go now! Go home early."

The barrier that was in front of them gradually collapses. Like the miracle of Moses, a path was opened up in the middle of the crowd. In fact, this phenomenon was the know-how of reporters. They knew that nothing good would come out of blocking a Hunter's path. But it really looked like a miracle to Yekaterina's eyes, who wasn't aware of that fact.

Even in front of so many people, Taylor courage and confidence was something that Yekaterina envied.

"Hey, aren't you coming?"

"······!"

Eventually, they reached the end of the path and found a certain man standing there. He smiled towards them and waved his hand. It was a stupid yet trusting look that Yekaterina could recognize.

It was the man Yekaterina only saw inside her dream. However, she could see, hear and touch him directly.

By meeting him, she was able to gain real freedom both in her dream and in reality.

"This is the first time I'm meeting you, Yekaterina."

Yekaterina nodded her head at the pompous greeting. She was somehow thrilled. Then, she spoke at him in an awkward Korean.

"I wanted to meet you too."

[The world's first 'Magic' was unveiled by the Morian Guild!]

[Amazing! SS rank variant dungeon in Moscow]

[The hunters are 'amazed' by the superpower of Taylor Blestash]

[Wizard Yekaterina, why is she a member of the Korean guild?]

['Another League' possessing both martial arts and magic…]

Magic was revealed to the world.

It was a field where even an incompetent hunter could acquire an ability through learning.

Also, even those who are incompetent can learn!

It was natural for the whole world to turn upside down. It wasn't because the incompetent could learn this ability. But because everyone could become a skilled person if they desired.

Although the production cost of the 'essence dispenser' was beyond imagination, the academic accessibility was also extremely difficult. It was only a matter of time before that part was resolved.

Avon, the master of the Morian Guild, held a press conference the very next day after the dungeon breakout.

"Since the birth of mankind, there have been numerous discoveries and numerous inventions."

Somehow, it was a hot voice filled with passion.

"Mankind was the first to discover and deal with fire a million years ago, electricity around 600 B.C., invented and dealt with gunpowder around the 7th century, discovered the magnetic field in the 13th century, coal and oil after the 18th century industrial revolution. And in the 19th century, we finally developed electromagnetism, and finally in the 21st century we started dealing with nuclear fission/fusion."

While all cameras around the world were paying attention, Avon slowly released the press conference as if giving a speech.

"And then 31 years ago, humanity discovered ether energy and finally reached the pinnacle of science."

Somehow, her voice was filled with emotion.

"But, today!!"

She seems to be choking.

As if she was sincerely blessed with the great discovery of mankind.

"Humankind has once again discovered new energy called 'essence' and raising the possibility of endless development! Essence, this fantastic power, is the energy generated by the circulation of nature and the universe itself, and it is an infinite energy which would never dry out. And we can use this energy to use the mysterious and great science of 'magic'!"

When Avon finished his speech, people gave her a standing ovation, and reporters screamed questions.

"I have a question!"

"What do you think about the fact that the previous SS rank deformed dungeon could not be closed!"

"In the case of another magician, Yekaterina, she said she was from Korea's Another League, please tell us about it!"

A lot of questions came in, but she got rid of unnecessary questions and answered only those that were as stimulating as possible.

"Ah Yekaterina? I am sorry for her. We've been working on Essence Energy for hundreds of years, and Yekaterina was one of our researchers. But just yesterday, in an official party, she betrayed our Morian guild and left."

"Would that mean…?"

Avon said with an expression of broken heart.

"Her magical knowledge belongs to the Morian Guild. As evidence, we have vast amounts of information amounted to hundreds of years."

Both Superpower and Mystical ability were now recognized as property. It was a very sensitive issue both socially and commercially. Moreover, what if the dispute was about 'magic' becoming a hot issue these days? She could never let it pass.

"Hey, I have no choice but to respond to Yekaterina and her guild, Another League based on the 'superpower special intellectual property'."

Shortly after, camera shutters started popping out from all directions.

'Yes, Yekaterina. I don't know how you learn magic, but….'

She was definitely showing a little more advanced magic than Avon herself, but it was meaningless.

Because the origins of all magic in this world eventually began with the Morian Guild!

No matter how excellent magic techniques she used, Yekaterina left the huge castle called Morian and headed for a very small boat. Moreover the boat was not even capable of fighting against them.

According to the Witch's Law, witches must keep their promises. Because if they break their promise, they'll lose both their magic and eyesight.

if so.

She needed to make Yekaterina break her promise and make her come back on her own.

'Come back, Yekaterina. Magic is ours.'

Chapter 93.

In accordance with the special intellectual property rights of superpower, disputes related to superpower will be judged internationally regardless of the country.

In other words, just because Koreans possessed magic, the Korean government cannot immediately take possession of it.

Of course, since Koreans are Koreans, in order to somehow preserve magic as theirs, the Korean government dispatched competent lawyers and agents to assist Yoo Seodam.

However, their assistance doesn't mean much.

In the first place, the judging criterion of superpower intellectual property rights was in the end, 'how much can you claim ownership of those superpowers?'Even if there's an attorney who knows the law well and good at debating, can they really win against the evidence that Yoo Seodam would present?

No way.

However, Korea also wanted to do their best.

Since the Morian Guild has already revealed that they have been researching the science of magic for hundreds of years through YTUBE and various news channels after the press conference, the chance of victory of the Another League and bringing copyright of magic to Korea was quite slim.

"Yekaterina and Yoo Seodam of Another league, please take a seat.."

In the case of a dispute over the superpower special intellectual property rights, a hearing was held at the International Association of superhuman, and the interference of the country was impossible.

The International Special Committee Hearing held with a total of 500 attendees and more than 50 lawmakers. No wonder Yekaterina is very nervous.

Seodam handed Yekaterina one of his horn-rim glasses.

"This is?"

"It's' Glasses of Courage'. If you wear it, you become brave."

"There's something like that?"

"Sure. Can't you believe me?"

"I believe you!"

Yekaterina nodded and wore the glasses.

Of course, there was no such thing as glasses of courage in the world. I just said it to give her some courage.

Not only Yekaterina, but Yoo Seodam himself was quite nervous.nov𝑒𝓵𝒰𝓈𝕓dot𝓬\o/𝓂

In his 16 years-old-long career as an F rank hunter, he had never stood proudly on such a big stage.

However, within a year, his whole life changed drastically.

He killed a reincarnator, he killed a regressor, killed a reincarnated body of witches with power comparable to gods, killed a legendary holy sword that ruled the empire for a thousand years, and stood against the demon king and killed the world's hero as well. (T/N: Sad Dharma didn't get a mention.)

Of course, there's also a mix of exaggeration. However, what had happened in the past one year had taken Yoo Seodam's mental strength to a whole new level. Thanks to this, he was able to avoid being scared stiff in such a place.

But courage alone couldn't change the world. But it's a good idea to show such courage in front of the super-giant guilds like Morian and Lost Day.

Courage is just the minimum preparation you need before a fight.

"Avon of the Morian Guild, Yu Haram of the Lost Day, please take a seat."

Seodam looked straight ahead.

In the case of superhuman copyright and plagiarism disputes, the association would prepare a place for both parties to present their evidence and discuss some things before deciding who is right or wrong.

In other words, just like Yoo seodam and Yekaterina, Avon was also present in this place. Right next to her, Lost Day's Guild Master Yoo Haram sat and looking towards Yoo Seodam's side, with a relaxed smile

'Lost Day, huh?…'

Yoo Seodam knew, when the variant dungeon appeared in Incheon, Lost Day was using a suspicious machine that combined magic and science that he didn't know the whereabouts of.

At the time, Lost Day was very confident that they would break through the Dungeon. After all, they got help from a magic-centric guild like Morian.

Now that he was kicked out of Lost Day, there is no need to worry about, but the character of Yoo Haram itself was a big wall that Yoo Seodam had to overcome.

Seodam couldn't help but sighed while looking at the relaxed Yoo Haram.

"From now on, we will begin the discussion about Mystical ability that uses essence energy and the ownership of 'magic'."

All cameras focused on both Yoo Seodam's and Avon's face.

"First, Master Avon of the Morian Guild. Please speak."

Avon got up and gave the narrator her greeting before she walked forward.

As it was a hearing related to superpower, there were originally a place to fully demonstrate the superpower, or a variety of ether dispensers and ether sensing equipment, but now they have been removed and replaced with 'essence' sensing equipment.

Avon came out to the center and pressed the remote control towards the translucent screen. Things like ancient documents and materials flow out.

"Hello, I'm Avon. As you all know, I'm a magician. Everyone. It's only been three days since the magic was revealed. But do you know what? In fact, magic has been studied since long ago, even before ancient Egypt. Essence energy has been discovered very recently, but our ancestors have been using the essence of energy steadily in harmony with nature and the universe, and the result has finally emerged in my generation."

The screen started from a very long time ago.

Ancient magical characters engraved on parchment that have been judged by experts to be made more than a thousand years ago. With every click the time period moved closer to the present, and finally the age of creating magic with 'machine' in the modern world.

As Avon turned to his finger, an object wrapped in a thick cloth emerged.

It was a very bizarre-looking machine. Wires were connected to the white crystal ball and things like round plates were spinning around it. The device which resembles a light bulb can be said to be more unique than any other dispenser I've seen before.

"This is a dispenser that lets the magic manifest. So far, we can only use magic around B to C rank with the portable version of it. But if we increase the scale a little, we can use magic that is close to A rank. And this is also very useful for hunting monsters."

Along with that, they released data about the magical machine that they have been studying together so far.

The data footage, which had been filmed more than 10 years ago, contained trial and error of numerous magical machines, and it was perfect evidence that Yoo Seodam could never argue against.

"We have been studying magic for a very long time. Yes, Yekaterina's magic is more unique than ours. Maybe it's more advanced in some ways than our magic. But, in the end, that's nothing more than a secret study of some of our magic. For that, we demand her to return all of her magic to us."

Yes. That was a very good reason for the Morian Guild to argue against Yoo Seodam. They are claiming that Morian Guild was the only one that has developed magic on Earth

Apparently, Yekaterina's magical skills were better than theirs. However, all the history of the development of magic up to the present day remains in the hands of Morian Guild.

That means that just because Yekaterina had better abilities doesn't mean that she could infringe superhuman intellectual property rights.

Yekaterina's expression turned pale.

It was some sort of trauma.

Every time Avon made that confident look, she would be persecuted. She needs to hide or she'll be taken away. Yekaterina pale countenance made the audience's attention shifted towards the elated Avon.

The evidence was perfect.

The most important thing to do when dealing with superpower intellectual property disputes was showing them the evidence about ancestor and history.

"Okay, now. Another League. Please tell us what you've prepared."

By the way. There's one thing that the Morian Guild did not know.

Another magic aside from their own magic existed on earth.

"Sure."

The situation was quite unfavorable, but Yoo Seodam has learned a lot while hunting for 'protagonists'.

And now he was ready to use them.

Putting on his glasses, Yoo Seodam slowly walked toward the screen.

"Are there any prepared materials?"

"There's none."

There is no data.

"That data is mine."

Instead, there was shamelessness.

"……What are you talking about, Mr. Seodam?"

"It's mine. They're stealing from me and claiming it was their own."

"Huh."

While everyone was taken aback, Seodam spoke up.

"Well, I'll just prove it myself."

"How are you going to prove it?"

"Let's point out the flaws in data prepared by the Morian Guild, one by one."

At his remarks, the audience became noisy.

Trying to act smart out of nowhere?

Seodam approached Avon and asked.

"Excuse me, can you give me the remote control?"

Avon looked at the narrator. And he nodded in approval. In these hearings, it was necessary to accommodate all kinds of situations.

Yoo Seodam took the remote control and swiped through the data, and went straight to the data about 'Ancient times'.

The ages where magic first started, the beginning of magic.

The reason was simple.

'Will modern witches be able to understand the mindset of ancient witches?''

Witches existed in different kinds of world, and they always showed their peerless talent in the study of magic. But in most of the world, the population of witches were declining, the same applied on Earth as well.

Thus, the remaining witches in modern times were nothing but half-blood witches.

One of those half-bloods was Yekaterina, however she inherited the purest witch blood on earth and possessed the power of prophecy.

In return for the prophetic ability, she lost her eyesight and magic, and she was unable to make rational judgments because she still had her emotions.

Other witches are no different. Although their emotions were somewhat lacking, it was still there nonetheless. It was because, through the witch's long history on earth, human blood was eventually mixed in, making it impossible for modern witches to properly understand the magic of ancient witches.

'Look at those crappy magic they submit as evidence.'

Certainly, the idea of manifesting magic through science was commendable, but it was by no means an ideal for a pure-blood 'witch'.

The witch's magic was already perfect by itself.

In most of the world, witches had a strong individualism, that was the reason why they were extinct. They simply don't have enough time to develop their magic

However,

What about the witches from the universes where witches almost rule the world?

How about the witches from a world where a legendary witch competed against 'Sword Emperor' a man who transcends the limit of humans?

How about the witches from a world where any witch could act freely and has developed their magic for hundreds of years?

Is it possible to compare their magic with the magic of Earth?

Of course, even if he's Yoo Seodam, he couldn't know about all of the magic that existed on numerous worlds

However,

[Searching for the magic….]

[Searching…]

[Search Complete: Primal Magic Usage Report]

[The magic technique in this device is judged to be backward compatible.]

He had 'Library of the White Witch' which contained all about magic starting from the development of magic to the trial and error phase.

"First of all, I don't know how you got this data, but I'll prove it to you that all of this data is filled with fallacy."

"It's an ancient material. How are you going to prove it?"

In response to Avon's rebuttal, Seodam shrugged.

"It's not that the ancient data is wrong. I'm trying to prove that you stole my data and studied it wrongly."

"······"

Avon giggled at Yoo Seodam's blatant and stupid words, but she did a good job to not let it shown.

"First of all, you seem to understand 'Nason third law' about the circling of Mana. But you are wrong. In the first place, this law must be applied in tandem with the 'Purdyson Transformation' and the 'Zero Mana Invariant Principle'. The magic you developed has turned into a sham, and it prevented us from casting 'three-dimensional magic'."

Speaking so, Seodam touched the dispenser Avon brought.

A dispenser that can only be handled by the Morian Guild.

However, a light flickered by one simple motion of Yoo Seodam, and then a fire magic manifested.

"Even if you don't use this method."

This time, he raises his finger to the air.

At the same time.

-It's annoying~

When the silver spirit flower triggered the magic, it was uselessly splendid and inefficient, but anyway, the colorful magic circles were generated to dazzle the eyes of modern people, and then fire broke out..

"If you had studied magic properly from the beginning, this could have been the result."

"…..!"

Morian Guild cannot use magic without a device called 'essence dispenser'.

However, Yoo Seodam was able to use magic without the help of an essence dispenser, and he was telling Avon that if she had studied magic properly, she could use magic without a dispenser.

"It's not just that. The next page clearly stated: 'Mana is preserved in the air, and when it begins to interfere with the physical realm, the Mana is attributed to the universe.' But look at inventions. Didn't you make a dispenser which contradicts the statement? I'll use this for a moment."

Yoo Seodam pointed at a small portable essence dispenser to use it as a material, he didn't even wait for the answer before putting it on and starting it.

"You said earlier that you can only use magic with an output around B to C rank. If you understand the data a little more from the beginning…."

Woooonng!

A huge fireball manifested in the air. The ether detector that Avon brought to measure the power of magic was beeping crazily as if proving that the fireball output was enough to be A rank in terms of ether output rank.

"This would be possible."

From then on, Yoo Seodam kept pointing out the data brought by Avon, one by one.

He acted as if he was really the owner of the data.

As if he had really studied the data of ancient magic.

"Oh, did you read this properly? It was good that you stole it, but did you read it properly?"

Honestly, Seodam also wasn't comfortable doing this. His skill 'Library of the White Witch' was also a skill that he stole from someone.

However, if there's someone who tries to harm him or his companion, he is willing to use anything, whether it was stolen skills or something else, to trample on his opponent.

Things were getting more and more interesting.

Yes, Morian Guild was the one who brought the data. But isn't there too much difference in terms of 'understanding'?

Yoo Seodam's understanding wasn't something that could be mastered overnight. Even the Morian Guild still had many things they couldn't understand. Yet, Yoo Seodam had answered it for them, and even demonstrated magic to prove it.

"Avon of the Morian Guild. Please speak up."

So, even though it was her turn once again,she couldn't speak properly. She could only bite her stiff lips.

Should she insist? This material was clearly theirs. All the words that came out of Yoo Seodam were nothing but lies.

However,

Wasn't everything that he said correct?

Weren't all magical secrets that they didn't know of being unraveled one after another right now?

To say that the magic of Yoo Seodam was a 'slightly advanced' than theirs, weren't their techniques so far apart?

And with such a huge knowledge gap between them, can she still say that the data is theirs?

Would people believe that?

"…Ah, Yes. Hunter Yoo Seodam's remark is right, your magic is definitely far more advanced than us."

Eventually, Avon had to acknowledge Yoo Seodam's magic.

"But that and this is a separate matter."

"What separate problem is it?"

"You are definitely better than us. But Yekaterina's magic is ours anyway."

"Why?"

"Of course, that child is…."

Avon, who tried to speak, was barely able to stop by biting her lips.

On the contrary, Yoo Seodam was excited. This was something he wouldn't say until right this moment.

However, Yoo Seodam wouldn't let this opportunity pass just like that.

"Of course, she couldn't learn my magic because she had no means of communication with the outside world while being held captive by you. Aren't you trying to say that?"(T/N Checkmate mofo

"….!"

Originally, he had to shoot another bullet at this time. But he didn't. He simply waited for an answer from Avon.

But, she couldn't say anything or even contradict his claim.

The moment of silence was enough for the audience to think about his statement.

While everyone was thinking about the same thing enough, Yoo Seodam spoke once again.

"Avon. Where did your guild's renowned 'Prophet' go?"

"That's….."

Yoo Seodam threw another question, but this time, towards the audience, not Avon.

"Everyone. The 'Prophet' has been active in the Morian Guild for a long time. However, no one in the world knows the Prophet's face or name. We thought it was just for the comfort of the Prophet. But….. What if they locked the Prophet up in fear that another guild would steal her from the Morian guild? What if they completely blocked all of her connection to the outside?"

"What are you talking about…! Stop talking nonsense!" [E/N: Yass bich! Expose them!]

"The witness is here now. Avon, how long are you going to be so shameless?"

Yoo Seodam looked at Yekaterina as he said that.

In fact, just by showing the difference between his magic and Morian Guild, it would clear the suspicion of plagiarism. His magic would have been recognized as another individual's magic.

However, Yoo Seodam didn't stop there.

That's because he tried to completely sever the ties between Yekaterina's magic and the magic of Morian guild.

'Ah…..'

Yekaterina, who was being gazed at by Yoo Seodam, slowly turned her head and looked at Avon.

She wore an expression Yekaterina had never seen before. Her plan was completely ruined, and she was filled with embarrassment and she clearly didn't know what to do.

She was no longer the object of fear.

After all, Avon was also a wall Yekaterina had to overcome.

'She is feeling the same fear.'

Yekaterina slowly stood up. If she said, 'I've been imprisoned in the Morian Guild for more than 10 years', the world would have laughed.

However, the Morian guild had admitted it tentatively. They were also losing the plagiarism case. They were now in position to defend, not accuse.

"I am…… I am Yekaterina, who once worked as the 'Prophet' in the Morian Guild. Would it be okay for me to speak?"

The world will surely listen to her.

Chapter 94 Player who live with SSS-rank luck(1)

[Copyright controversy about 'Magic' is over… And the owner is?]

The Superpower intellectual property hearing ended.

However, the problem about magical property rights hadn't been solved neatly.

Yoo Seodam couldn't present the evidence that he had studied magic, While Morian Guild provided their evidence. But, the knowledge they possessed was overwhelmingly less than Yoo seodam's.

Clearly, Morian owned the item, but the real owner of the item seems to be Another League.

Eventually, the council allowed both guilds to possess magic.

[The Morian Guild revealed that they would donate 'Magic' to the country.]

However, the ownership of Morian Guild was in jeopardy, and eventually they attributed the magic to the whole country. If Magic was protected by the government of Russia, no matter how many nasty tricks one employed, they wouldn't be able to easily touch it. There was no way that they could steal it and Yoo Seodam also didn't intend to do so.

[Explanation from Master Avon about Prophet's confinement: 'Everything is a misunderstanding']

[The truth of the shocking Morian guild revealed by the Prophet Yekaterina?]

In the case of confinement, Yekaterina was able to successfully file a lawsuit. She did not have clear evidence, but the clear testimony of someone who used to work as a Prophet, Avon's slip of tongue and critics from numerous governments allowed her to win the case.

However, through a press conference held in a hurry this morning, Avon denied the accusation of 'confinement' until the very end. But in the end, she said that she sincerely apologizes for the damage she had done to the Prophet and was forced to give a large amount of compensation.

Honestly, Yoo Seodam knew that large corporations would eventually cut off their tails when the fight became fiercer, so Yoo Seodam and Yekaterina were satisfied with the result.

As a result of this incident, the image of Morian Guild had been severely damaged. Moreover, they lost the rights of monopolizing amulet, magic and the Prophecy causing their fame and power to be shaken considerably.

And Yoo Seodam was able to successfully conclude the hearing without having a single conversation with Lost day's Guild master Yoo Haram. And he was really satisfied after looking at the crestfallen expression of Yoo Haram at the end of the hearing.

And, currently,

"…I still can't believe it."

Yekaterina opened her mouth while riding on a van towards Seoul.

She still had her dark circles under her eyes. Every time Yoo Seodam saw Yekaterina, she always looked tired. However, it has become worse recently. Of course, in contrast to her tired countenance, Yekaterina had a sincerely happy smile.

She said, "I can't believe I can get out like this after giving her a good blow."

"From now on, you can live however you want. If you want, you don't have to come to my guild."

Seodam said as he drove the van.

Originally, he didn't have any vehicle for private use except for one motorcycle. However, with the recent achievement of Another League, weapon company 'Leager' sponsored the guild with this van.

In this van, a portable ether crystal safe, as well as an ether dispenser could be loaded. It was designed to be able to withstand monster attack to some degree.

"No! I will enter Seodam-ssi's guild. This incident just made it clear, I will be safe and happy when I am with Seodam-ssi."

"The safe part is okay, but……"

Yoo seodam can't promise Yekaterina anything about happiness. Because if she really joined his guild, he would make full use of Yekaterina to achieve his plans.

Without knowing his thoughts, Yekaterina only looked at Yoo Seodam with a smile the whole time. Even though everything else should be amazing for her because it was her first time coming out to the outside world.

"We have arrived."

"Is it here…?"

After arriving at Gangnam Plaza, Yoo Seodam parked the van in a suitable location and walked towards the stone statue. She asked Yekaterina to follow him towards the stone statue reminiscent of Michelangelo's 'creation of the heavens and the earth'.

"Weren't we going to the guild hideout?"

"This is our hideout."

"Here…?"

She looked around her. There was nothing in the square except the stone statue.

'No way… homeless…?'

That moment, Yekaterina remembered what Yoo Seodam said the other day. He said that the house he would provide would be cramped, the food would be tasteless, and there would be no servants, so it would be quite an uncomfortable life. She accepted it like it was nothing, but they're really homeless in the middle of a city like this…

Woooong!!

Suddenly, the world began to tremble.

The space distorted, and the time changed from day to night.

"…Uh, huh?"

When she regained her composure, the whole world in front of her was filled with starlight. The Milky Way was all over the sky. Looking at the brightly shining stars in a dark world, Yekaterina's mouth hung open. Then she looked at the numerous silver buildings in the distance.

"This is our hideout."

"Oh..oh my God…! How…. a place like this…"

Before she could continue her words, numerous colorful little spirits rushed towards them and bowed in a 90 degree angle.

""You are here, big brother!""

Yekaterina was surprised because it was her first time seeing a spirit. Yoo Seodam said lightly after looking at Yekaterina's expression.

"They are my bread shuttle."

Then, he pointed his finger to a distant place.

"These guys are the one who grow lettuce in the greenhouse over there."

"Lettuce?"

"They also grow tomato."

Since they were spirits that live by receiving life energy, the floating garden was filled with numerous plants. There were also vegetables such as lettuces and tomatoes, which contained Yoo Seodam's personal favorites,

"Well….. Would you like to stay here? I think I can give you one building because there are too many vacant buildings anyway. These guys are quite capable of doing anything you asked for. A while ago, I gave a cookbook to some of the fire spirits, and they did better than I expected. Well, even if it's not as comfortable as a mansion, nothing will be uncomfortable."

At his word, Yekaterina shook her head.

"No, this is……really."

The Morian mansion was incomparable to this place. This place had a much more luxurious environment. She still couldn't take her eyes off the countless starlight and spirits.

It was a sight that she thought she could never see again after she lost her sight. It was very, very, beautiful that something overflowed from inside her heart.

"Would you like to see more?"

"…..!"

Yekaterina nodded and slowly looked around Another League's hideout. It was such a gorgeous place. She wouldn't mind spending the rest of her life here in this place.

She walked around the public garden for almost half a day like that, and was able to get acquainted with the spirits.

Soon Yekaterina entered the office, and Yoo Seodam said to her.

"It's my office. It's still sloppy, but I worked pretty hard."

Yekaterina read the documents all at once with the help of the Mana on her fingertips. It's a spell that only experienced witches could do. Neither Seodam and Avon could use this spell.

"Hmmm…."

She nodded in understanding.

"Yeah. You worked really hard."

Yekaterina said that to make Yoo Seodam feel better.

But the truth is…

In Yekaterina's eyes the documents were full of flaws. It is a chronic problem of a guild master who is a former hunter, they weren't able to manage the business side efficiently.

Yoo Seodam's management skills were quite awful. He must have worked hard. Because countless law books and documents were scattered around the office. However, in this world where 'talented' was more important than 'hard-working', Yekaterina liked the hard-working Yoo Seodam more than the talented Yoo seodam.

"So far…. You did well. In the future, I will work harder."

Saying that, Yekaterina rubbed her tired eyes. Somehow, these days, she was getting more and more tired, but that shouldn't be a hindrance for her.

She approached Yoo seodam and tapped his shoulder with her finger.

"Then, I want to sign up to the guild-"

Tingle!

"..eugh!"

"Wh..What happened?"

At the moment, a dizzying and intense, electric pleasure came up towards Yekaterina's fingertips. With her confused eyes, she alternated between her own hands and Yoo Seodam's.

Then, once again, she places her hand on Yoo .Seodam.

Tingle!

"eugh…"

Again, the dizzying sensation assaulted her body.

"Just, what's happening right now…? Are you sick?"

"Oh, no. That's not it…."

It was a strange feeling.

It was as if her body was being supplied with energy.

It felt like someone who had been driving a car with an empty tank had just filled it with fuel and now couldn't control how smoothly the car went.

She gingerly placed her hand on Yoo Seodam's shoulder. As soon as her hand touched it, the thrilling and dizzying sensation that seemed to make her lose her mind slowly spread throughout her body.

'What the hell is going on?'

Then, Yekaterina noticed a change in her own body. Her body, which felt heavier in the past few months, had become lighter. The accumulated fatigue which always made her want to close her eyes were slightly gone.

'Don't tell me, this is….?'

Yekaterina belatedly remembered that her soul was bound to Yoo Seodam.

The attribution of the soul. Neither Yoo Seodam nor Yekaterina knew what that meant. However, she was able to roughly speculate.

'Doesn't this mean that I cannot receive natural energy from nature?'

Soul was present in every life. That soul forms the power to live in harmony with nature. But what if the soul was currently tied to someone else's body and not your own body?

It meant that you had no choice but to receive the energy of life through that other person.

Yekaterina spreads her palms and puts her hands on his chest, this time she acted boldly. Then, an intense pleasure that could not even be compared to before penetrated her body. It seems that she would draw all the energy she has not been supplied to at once.

'This, this will be dangerous…'

Eventually, she couldn't hold on to it, and after lifting her hand, she sat down in her seat. Yoo Seodam hurriedly grabbed her and raised her up.

"What happened? Are you sick? ….Do you have health insurance?"

[E/N: Bruh. She literally lived her life as a captive. Does she have insurance? Take a wild guess mate.]

"……"

But she couldn't answer.

Since Yekaterina's arrival, the guild's administrative division had progressed greatly. In the days where she was confined, she still studied various subjects. And although she didn't know much about the laws or culture of Korea that changed recently, she was at least much better than me.

"Uh. How is the progress over there?"

-I think we've already occupied half of it.

Shin Hye-ji's voice flows from the smartphone.

Presently, Murim people were trying to occupy [House of the Goblins, a wandering dimension that I had opened in order to create their own space, just like how I used the dead spirit's floating garden.

Floating garden's size was rather small and the number of spirits weren't much either, so it was possible to turn them into his subordinates using the life-force.

However, House of the Goblins was an enormous dimension. Its size was almost half of that of China. There was also a significant number of goblins, so there is no way they could be subjugated using my life-force.

Also, there's no need to create more subordinates. The spirits couldn't get out of the floating garden and the goblins were the same. I took the spirits under my wing because I need subordinates to cultivate and repair the floating garden, but isn't the population of Murim people already large enough?

"You guys are so fast."

-I think we will soon reach the goblin King's residence.

There are three SS rank goblins in that dimension. If it appeared as a 'dungeon' it would be a disaster, but fortunately, the world was already perishing and it wouldn't have turned into a dungeon.

"Okay… Please tell Seol Jungyeon that I'm going to visit her by the time the dungeon was cleared."

-Yes. Her excellency will be pleased.

Almost three thousand Murim people were working for the recreation of 'Jungwon Murim' so even if there are three SS rank bosses, they would clear it rather easily.

After hanging up the phone, I leaned against my chair.

Half of the crazy year ended like this. Taylor and Yekaterina had regained their freedom, the Murim people had found their own land and they were in the process of pioneering it. I also had announced my magic to the world and had it recognized as a property right.

Now, the only things that left was for the guild to grow explosively…

But…

Hunter Yoo Seodam…

"….yeah."

The worlds in danger of destruction are gradually increasing.

"Keuk."

After all, work in reality was only work in reality. My main occupation doesn't change.

It was to hunt a protagonist.

At first, I started it just to live and to steal talent. However, its significance was gradually changing.

"Are there no other protagonist hunters?"

If there were any other hunter, I wouldn't have to worry like this.

"It can't be helped. Let's go to work."

Fortunately, almost all of the work that held me back had been handled, and now I've secured Yekaterina, who has better administrative abilities compared to me, so now I'm free to 'dispatch'.

Through the smartphone, I roughly told all my acquaintances that I'm going to be dispatched.

"Let's see the quest list…."

Yes, I will prepare the list of requests. The focus is on a world that is gradually approaching destruction.

….

A total of about 10 lists appeared. As I slowly looked at them, I discovered something, a very colossal view of the world.

"…Why are there so many hashtags in romance fantasy?"

That is because 'probability' spreads through a very peculiar path in this genre.

"Really?"

I don't know what the unusual path is, but… I don't want to check it out right now.

"This, show me the plot of this."

『Player who lived with SSS-rank luck』

The level of the protagonist in this world was 157. And the request success rate was 29%, which was the highest rate amongst all.

Summary

One day people were suddenly transported into another world!

Everyone awakened as a player, but Perutius was the only one who couldn't get any ability.

A time of deep heartache and despair.

-Please make me stronger!

Have you got the strongest weapon?!

Breaking through the 0.001% enchantment success rate, he aims to be the world's strongest!

"……."

When I finished reading the explanation, I sighed.

"Yes, that…. Well, that's normal. Let's do this."

Would you like to move right now?

"Yeah."

[Moving to Pleidin, the world where Level 157 protagonist 'Perutius' resides.]

[10…9…8….]

The world is fading.

[2…1…0]

[Dimensional movement completed.]

Very soon, I opened my eyes.

I found myself in the middle of a large medieval city.

Giant pterosaurs and flying boats decorated the sky, and fireworks illuminated the world.

"Wow."

There were a lot of people on the street, all of them were wearing fancy armor or robes. They also had a cute pet or some sort of vehicle with them. But each and every one of them was truly unique, they were all different.

Black skin, white skin, red skin, blue skin, tall people, short people, long ears, and four arms. I almost got fascinated by the fantastic appearance of a wide variety of races wandering around the streets, but…

"We are recruiting warriors of level 60 or higher to challenge 'Daikan's Dark Labyrinth'!"

"Hey, why don't you go to the Dusk Suppression Team? What, you're a local, not a player? Chet, get lost. Don't hang around here."

"Players! Selling potions! An intermediate potion with a recovery rate of 25%! When you go to the dungeon, take as many as possible! You have only one life!"

"Recruiting a damage dealer of level 90 or higher to challenge 'the fallen female chief's residence'. Prefer someone who has Detoxification skill."

Something was strange here…

[You have become a player who came to 'Pleidin'.]

Player.

It was a term referring to people who suddenly fell into Pleidin and gained an ability similar to a 'game'. They could grow stronger by leveling up by hunting monsters or going around dungeons and also by enchanting their weapons.

It is said that most 'players' have 'class' and 'special skills' that match each individual's personality, and they are said to be able to further refine their characteristics through the main system called 'enhancement' by equipping the appropriate items.

However, there was one important point.

The fact that this world that looks like a game at first glance was by no means a game.

It seems that the game system has been gifted to the real world. It is similar to the previous 'The Arache World'.

"Are there many worlds that share a similar setting as this one?"

It's not many, but this kind of setting is the best environment for the protagonist to be born, so you might encounter it quite often in the future. Game system setting is built on the basis of enormous probability. It is not uncommon for it to focus on one person.

I know it because I had studied till then. In game-based fantasy, or game-based fusion fantasy, the protagonist always got the best from the system. Such as hidden class, highest grade weapon, and hidden piece.

That is correct! You studied hard!

"….."

I ignored the system's words and looked around.

The architecture and the fashion in this world were around medieval times. However, the civilization itself has developed considerably.

Of course, the hygiene side of things was very neat, and the technology used magic power as their fuel. Power poles and streetlights were lined up around the street. There were also horseless carriages here and there.

"It's a bustling city."

As I walked the streets, I slowly grasped the culture here.

First of all, the place where I was standing was a place where a lot of players gathered, to look for 'party' members. In order to raid dungeons or hunt monsters, you can systematically group up and hunt to receive rewards and experience points.

Most of the party-lookers were below level 100, and those who had slightly higher level left their recruitment post at the mercenary office.

"Hey. I'm also a player, but can I level up by hunting monsters?"

It's not possible.

"Why?"

Players in this world have officially received the game system, and their growth potential has been raised significantly through 'potential liberation'. Originally, it means that even those who have lived their entire lives as ordinary people can become superhumans. However, you do not have such privileges at all. I just temporarily turned you into a player.

"Ah, okay."

I don't know what you are talking about.

In addition, every talent had their own 'level cap'. For some, level 100 was their cap and for some other level 200 was their cap. And your level cap has been fixed at level 15 since birth.

"Ah…. That's why."

No matter what kind of training, education or even shortcut I take to accumulate experience, my level wouldn't rise.

I could only improve my skills proficiency, learn about magic and use more techniques with my current stats, that's all.

Don't be heartbroken. It is rare across all dimensions to achieve level 15 with zero potential.

"No, it's not like that."

I've been heartbroken for 15 years, and I have already moved past it because now I could break through my limit by hunting protagonists.

'By the way, where is the protagonist?'

I roughly understand about this world setting. Other parts could be learned while observing the protagonist. As I hesitated at the mercenary office like that, someone came up to me and talked to me.

"Hey, brother. Are you a 'tank?"

"Tank?"

Tank was an occupation that stood in the forefront of the party and drew the monster's aggro towards themselves. My fighting style was far away from a tank, but for now, I nodded.

"Yes. I am. How did you know?"

"I just knew it when I saw you. You are wearing heavy armor."

It seems like this guy was thinking that my ether suit was heavy armor. Well, it's indeed quite thick.

"That armor, at least, looks Unique to Epic grade item. I think the defense is also high. What is your level? I'm going to raid the 'Doom High Pike', but you need to be at least level 80 and have a weapon with level 3 enchantment."

Enchantment?

The system indeed said that there is a system called Enchantment in this world.

But.

Unfortunately, Hunter Yoo seodam couldn't use it. Because enchantment is an act of accumulating probability.

'Is there anything I can do?'

I replied honestly.

"Ah, I don't have an enchanted weapon."

"What? Did the weapon break during the enchantment process?"

"Ah, well…. It's not like that."

During the enchantment process, there's a chance that the weapon would break.

I was glad because it seems like it's possible to obtain information that the system hasn't found out yet from this person.

"So, uh… How did you enchant a weapon?"

"Why don't you know that? Are you really a player?"

This is a question I anticipated.

There's not much answer I could give in this kind of situation.

The First method, I lost my memory pattern.

It's a very common cliché, and it's also a universal line that the main characters in novels use often. Usually, if you said this line, the other person would kindly explain it to you.

The second method, I can use is the foreigner pattern.

Although cliché, it is also often used. It's a bit less used compared to memory loss pattern, so this might be better. Usually, if you said that you lived far away and Extra 1 would kindly respond to you and tell you everything you didn't even ask.

"Because I lived in a faraway place, I don't know about enchantment. If you're okay, could you please explain it to me…?"

"Ah, I don't have time. Go somewhere else and ask."

"……"

Right.

It was a cliché that could only be used by the protagonist.

In the end, I had to snoop around the mercenary offices to inquire about the 'Enchantment' and 'item' system.

"Where did you come from that you didn't know about this thing? Are you really a player?"

It was quite easy to acquire that information. I was able to hear about enchantment by asking a free talented player.

"Items are divided into 8 grades. Normal, Common, Uncommon, Rare, Unique, Epic, Hero and lastly Legendary. However, only two players in this entire world have obtained Legendary-grade items."

"Who is it?"

"It is 'Perutius', who appeared like a comet a few years ago and awakened to the legendary class 'Braveheart', and 'Pasios' of the Black Knights Guild. Don't you know both of them?"

"I know one."

"Of course you know. If you don't know about Perutius, who is going to fight against 'Black Dragon King Carcasedin', you are not a player."

"….."

I didn't know much about him, I just knew it because he was the protagonist of this world.

"You can do enchantments anywhere and anytime you want. However, the problem is that the success rate is atrocious. The success rate is 50% for the first enchantment, 25% for second enchantment, 10% for third enchantment, 5% for fourth enchantment, And the fifth enhancement is 1%, which is very awful."

"Crazy…."

"Well, rumor says that there are actually quite a few Legendary weapons…. However, everything must have burst in flames. Pasios's weapon, once called the strongest, is on seventh enchantment. But Perutius took the place of the strongest when he succeeded enchanting his weapon to 10. Although Perutius has lower level than Pasios… That gap will soon close. It's okay to assume that no one can go beyond Perutius anymore."

"Wow."

Fifth enchantment success rate was only 1%, but he enchanted his weapon to tenth enchantment, you say?

In the first place, he is the main character related to 'luck'. It must have been possible because of some special privileges. Thinking that way, Pasios, who succeeded enchanting a legendary weapon to seventh enchantment without even correction of the protagonist, felt even greater.

"Do you have any more questions?"

"No. Thank you."

"okay. May the god of enchantment be with you. I hope that Perutius is passing by, and his luck will come to us as well."

As I said goodbye to him, I left the mercenary office while feeling troubled.

Enhancement, items, level up.

I can't use the system. However, when I talked to the mercenary player, I noticed one very good thing. It was the fact that I could use the item well.nov𝖾𝓛𝓊𝐒𝑩/𝐂\o/𝐌

In other words.

"….If I can't reinforce, can I take the finished product that has been reinforced?"

As the inventory rank rises to S, it is now possible to bring items of a fairly high grade back to Earth. The other day, I left a second-grade ether blade in another world, so I was using a third-grade right now.

"System, please find out how high is the third-grade ether blade in this world ranking system."

When I sensed the energy, third-grade ether blade was confirmed to be a 'rare' grade in this world ranking system.

Considering that the limit of items that could be stored in the inventory(S) was a named grade, it means that I could bring items up to the 'hero' grade to Earth.

I have a lot of time anyway. The time difference between this world and earth was 18 times. Even if I stay here for more than a month, only two days would have passed on earth.

I also heard that there are quite a lot of bandits who loot other people's items in this world, and most of them were intertwined with the protagonist's storyline. What if I deal with them first?

I think it's killing two birds with one stone, as I could get items and feel like I'm doing something good even when I am doing bad things.

Hunter Yoo seodam… The protagonist…

"Ah. Just wait for now. I'll do it all. Do you believe in me?"

I have no one else to trust except Seodam…

"Hey, don't worry."

Somehow, the client asked in a sullen voice.

But…but you probably have plans on how to hunt the protagonist right…?

To that, I answered without worrying.

"Maybe."

How long I've been here, there's no way I already have plans in my mind.

"Think of it with common sense. How do you get a guy who has a tenth enchantment weapon?"

……

"So, wouldn't it be a little easier to deal with him when I become stronger by enchanting? This is all part of my plan, okay?"

Yes…

Eventually, the client had no choice but to accept my words.

In the southeastern part of the Pleidin continent, along the road that connects Kingdom of Su and Dwarven Kingdom, there's a wide forest called 'Ceradin great forest'. Due to the nature of the forest, different kinds of races and monsters inhabited this place.

Therefore, it was natural for Kluton merchants to hire mercenaries to guard them on their way to do business at Dwarven Kingdom.

"It's reassuring to be with the players."

The Kluton Chamber of Commerce hired twenty players as mercenaries. These players suddenly appeared in the world a few years ago, and based on their peculiar abilities, they quickly became strong, and now they are comparable to the world's strongest. Their strength was reliable enough.

"Hoho, don't worry, we're also experts in monster hunting."

Heenen, who led the band of mercenaries, has a level of 104, which is higher than the average players. It was only natural for her to have confidence in herself.

However, there was one thing that was unfortunate, that is the fact that the player was very lacking in experience compared to their strong power.

Kwadudududug!

Suddenly the ground shook and shot up.

Kluton's merchants all shouted in confusion.

"What, what!"

"Is it an earthquake?"

"No! This, this is magic!"

Blah blah!

The phenomenon only happens in an instance.

When the pre-installed artifact items on the ground were triggered, the ground shook, and dozens of pillars rose up and crushed people. It was a basic item, but Heenen couldn't respond.

"Ugh, it's a surprise attack! This cowardly guy…!"

"Haha! Give me everything you have!"

Using an item means that you are a player. Heenen hurriedly pulled her sword and responded to the bandits that were rushing towards her from all sides.

She was certainly on the strong side. If she swung her sword once, three or four bandits would be cut off, and she could run so fast that makes people having a hard time to trace her.

However, Heenen and her mercenaries, who had been leveling up by hunting monsters so far, did not know how to deal with people. On the other hand, the bandits were smart enough to arrange all kinds of items and tactics to drain their stamina.

"Ugh! The floor is sticky!"

"Kek! There are poison arrows installed!"

"Uh, get down! It's a flare night artifact!"

Each of the bandits were certainly weak. However, they were experts in dealing with players stronger than themselves. On top of it mercenaries had to fight while defending the merchant.

"Haha, level 100 player is no big deal?"

"Ugh……."

In the end, it was natural in some way that Heenen and her mercenaries were defeated.

"Tie them up!"

The bandits gathered all the mercenaries and merchants and put them together. It was quite ominous for her when she saw some bandits laugh unpleasantly while looking at her face. But there was no time to worry about that.

"Oh oh! boss! There is a unique-grade bow here! It was even enchanted until fourth-enchantment!"

"Great! High-level players indeed use some good stuff. There's so many epic items."

Now, the bandits were busy distributing the items they stole, but what would happen to the mercenaries and merchants when the bandits finished their business? The woman would surely be taken as slaves by the bandits, and the rest were likely to die.

'I don't want to be dragged into slavery like this…!'

She had a lot of dreams and a lot of things she wanted to do. She would rather die than living as a lifelong slave. When she closed her eyes with such desperate thoughts.

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwang!!

A loud explosion rang out, and the group of bandits fell into confusion.

"Wow!"

"Wha,..what!"

"What the hell is this magic…!"

It was such a tremendous roar that it seemed that their eardrum would burst. And then they felt the ground shake.

Bang, Kwa-Aang!

The explosion didn't only happen once. Wherever the black ball things landed, an explosion occurred. But there was no way to know what kind of item it was. And that wasn't the end.

Tung!

"Who, who are you!"

"He showed up!"

A man dressed in a strange black armor appeared in the middle of the bandits. He pulled out a shining sword and started to cut down all the bandits like autumn leaves!

The bandit group were falling apart without even responding properly.

"Ugh, in a surprise attack! This cowardly guy…!"

"Haha! Give me everything you have!"

Somehow, conversations that she had heard before came out once again, but Heenen brushed it off as déjà vu.

The battle quickly ended.

"Oh my God….."

"He dealt with all the bandits by himself…!"

The man with overwhelming power succeeded in killing all the bandits by using mysterious items! Somehow, Heenen felt respect towards him. So she told him with twinkling eyes.

"Thank you for saving me!"

Then, the man in black armor replied.

"Yeah, I guess I really saved you!"

Bandits carried a bundle of equipment that they stole from the mercenaries.

"The item."

"Yeah?"

With that short phrase, the man in black armor disappeared.

"Uh….."

Heenen couldn't figure out the situation.

"…Did he just rob a robber?"

More than despondency of losing her items, she was just dumbfounded and couldn't utter any words.
