Chapter 50: From Start to Peak

At his younger sister’s sudden voice, Seyul turned to look at her.

“I was just about to play God’s Warrior.”

Seyul said, a bit reluctant, as he was about to put the device on his head.

‘I left right after becoming the Demon King last time, so I need to continue from there today.’

Last time, after becoming the Demon King.

The cheers of the monsters were somehow embarrassing, so he ended the game there.

So today, he was planning to play properly, but it was difficult to suddenly be told to play a different game.

“It’s this kind of thing, just take a look.”

Semi showed her phone to her brother.

Seyul, with his silver hair swaying, looked at the screen.

“Muguk Online?”

“It’s a popular martial arts game.”

Semi, seeing her brother surprised like herself, gradually listed words to pique his interest.

“Oppa, you’re good at martial arts, right?”

“I’m a bit better than others.”

“Then, aren’t you interested in martial arts? If you do martial arts, it’s martial arts, right?”

It would be a lie to say he wasn’t interested.

‘I’m a martial artist, after all.’

He has the power of a dragon and magic, but his most used skill is swordsmanship.

So, Seyul’s identity can be said to be closer to a martial artist.

Naturally, he was interested in martial arts, and he was curious about this martial arts game.

“So, is it the kind where enemies and allies all use martial arts and fight each other?”

“Or are you worried they might use magic in a martial arts setting? Of course, they do. Maybe Oppa can even use a spear and fight coolly.”

To be able to fight coolly with a spear.

It was a very tempting offer for Seyul.

‘Honestly, I haven’t had a decent fight since I came back.’

Whether it’s reality or a game, the enemies are too weak.

Even in the game where his abilities are weakened, he has never struggled.

‘Did I unexpectedly have a battle-crazed side?’

In the midst of that.

Seyul’s heart was uplifted at the sound of being able to have a proper fight.

He was surprised at himself, feeling the fighting spirit rising within him.

But,

“That’s an online game, right? It’s a bit much to be active in front of everyone.”

Seyul was a little worried.

“What if my identity gets exposed?”

“It’s okay. You’re just playing a game, how would your identity get exposed?”

“I’m a bit better than others, you know.”

“So? Just because you’re a little good, if a passing female user thinks, ‘Ah, that person is actually a man who went to another world and came back as a dragon,’ that person would be crazy.”

“…That’s true.”

Seyul nodded.

Semi was also sincere this time, not trying to deceive him.

It’s different when he’s about to do something big.

There’s no need to hide his appearance just when he’s playing a game.

Seyul thought it was a valid point and felt his wariness gradually easing.

“Well, I’m not openly using my strength in reality. My identity wouldn’t be exposed just because I’m active in a game, right? …Should I try it?”

“Good thinking. There’s an event going on right now.”

“What event?”

“It’s called the Righteous-Demonic War, where you fight against an evil organization called the Demonic Cult.”

Seyul narrowed his eyes.

‘The Demonic Cult, that’s the one. Like the strongest martial arts organization.’

The Demonic Cult, which is expressed as the strongest single organization threatening the martial arts world in countless martial arts genres.

As the group’s power is strong, many strong people are affiliated with it, and the leader is described as the best martial artist in the martial arts world.

Maybe he can fight the strongest martial artist he’s only heard about.

This fact excited Seyul, who was unconsciously hungry for a real fight.

“Then I’ll get you ready~.”

He was completely won over.

Semi, sensing that from Seyul’s eyes, smiled and picked up the device, finishing the game preparations.

She finished preparing to play Muguk Online and handed back the device.

“Ah, but you won’t be able to talk to other users.”

She said this as if she had just remembered.

“Why?”

“There’s something called a parental control service. There are a lot of people who use harsh language. It completely blocks communication functions so that minors don’t get hurt by those people.”

“Why is that kind of thing in our house, where everyone is an adult?”

“Our older sister installed it, saying she was doing it for us.”

Semi answered casually.

The parental control service is actually a real service.

It’s also true that Seyul’s eldest sister installed it for the three siblings.

However, it was Semi who subtly informed him about it.

This was the secret Hae-ri had told her.

To prevent anyone from recognizing Seyul, she blocked the conversation itself.

“If older sister did it, there’s nothing I can do.”

Seyul thought that it was like his older sister, who is usually rigid.

‘Well, I don’t want to socialize anyway.’

The reason Seyul is interested in Muguk Online is only the strength of the monsters.

He wasn’t interested in users, so he started the game without any particular complaints.

This was the beginning of a disaster that would never happen again in Muguk history.

[What’s this?]

[Hey, what about God’s Warrior?]

When Seyul started a new game, there was a reaction in the chat window.

The viewers who had gathered were looking forward to what he would do after becoming the Demon King last time.

But when Seyul turned on another game, they lost their energy.

[Here we go again!]

[Hmm, cutting it off at this timing]

[I don’t mind him playing other games itself]

[Why does he always cut it off at the important part?]

[His vicious nature has resurfaced after a long time]

[But isn’t that Muguk Online?]

Some people tilted their heads at the fact that he was playing Muguk Online of all things.

[It’s a martial arts game]

[Yeah, martial arts?]

[It’s an old-fashioned genre]

[No, why is martial arts old-fashioned?]

[I don’t really like martial arts]

[Why did he do this out of all the things he could do?]

[There’s an event today, isn’t it because of that?]

[We might not be interested, but he might be]

[He’s incredibly good at martial arts]

[Oh, so is he going to show us a full-fledged martial arts fight here?]

[If that’s the case, I’m all for it]

[There hasn’t been much fighting lately]

While the viewers were showing various reactions, Seyul checked his own status.

‘Is this good enough?’

First of all, the outfit.

The clothes Seyul wore in Muguk Online were flashy.

The kind of clothes that heroines often wear in old martial arts movies.

It was a basic outfit given to female users, with white sleeves and other parts that were flowing.

A spear in his hand.

It was the one Seyul chose from the basic weapons provided to new users.

And the most important thing.

‘I can control ki.’

Even users who are just starting out have basically learned the inner energy cultivation method.

Seyul was able to use the ki through that method.

‘It’s a bit different from magic power, but there’s no problem controlling it. I wonder if I can implement elemental power too?’

Just like in God’s Warrior, he could use it as he pleased and reproduce real-life martial arts.

If so, that’s enough.

Other users would focus on learning skills after starting.

Martial arts, but if he can reproduce real-life abilities, there’s no need for that at all.

‘Let’s level up.’

If skills can be reproduced, the important thing is strength.

In God’s Warrior, it was difficult because the level difference was too great, even though he overwhelmed the enemy with his realm.

He didn’t want to do the same thing here, where he had to hit an enemy who should have been one-shotted for a long time.

‘Maybe I’ll meet a proper enemy here. I need to level up before that.’

Seyul, who decided to focus on leveling up, looked around.

What he saw was a messy street scene.

Nakyang.

It can be said to be the capital of Muguk Online.

It is preferred as a starting point for newbies because it has the most developed infrastructure.

But now.

That Nakyang was in a state where it couldn’t find its former glory.

An event that decorates the end of Season 1.

The Righteous-Demonic War started with the Demonic Cult launching a large-scale attack on Nakyang, the most prosperous city.

Now Nakyang was a battlefield.

It was a dangerous place where you might die as soon as you start.

Therefore, no newbies currently start in Nakyang, but Seyul was an exception.

He deliberately chose Nakyang because the Demonic Cult he wanted to fight was here, and fortunately, the Demonic Cult did not betray his expectations.

“What kind of b*tch is this?”

As soon as he moved a little, the Demonic Cult appeared.

About six men who covered their bodies entirely in black.

They were ordinary warriors of the Demonic Cult, which can be said to be the Demonic Cult’s mobs.

They looked very surprised when they saw Seyul.

“Her beauty is truly exquisite!”

“Who is she?”

“If she has such an appearance, there’s no way she wouldn’t be famous?”

The ordinary warriors were so impressed by Seyul’s beauty that they forgot their duty to kill everyone in Nakyang.

The next moment.

Their necks were all cut off at once.

Needless to say, it was Seyul who did it.

He disappeared for a moment, and the necks of all the ordinary warriors were cut off by the spear.

[Yeah. Amazing]

[I knew it]

[Demonic Cult guys, bye~]

Viewers who are no longer surprised by this level of things.

They became proficient because they often saw Seyul doing monstrous things.

After that.

Seyul indiscriminately killed the martial artists of the Demonic Cult who were passing by.

He pierces the heart of a first-class martial artist of the Demonic Cult with a spear.

It was a mob that even mid-level users couldn’t easily handle, but Seyul caught them as if he were catching ants.

The Demonic Cult martial artists, who had been tormenting Muguk users for a long time, were being unilaterally massacred.

“What, what’s going on?”

“Is it divine punishment?”

The righteous faction NPCs, who were allied forces fighting the Demonic Cult.

They looked around in shock and fear at the unknown situation.

To them, it seemed as if an invisible grim reaper was taking their lives.

“Keuk!”

The same goes for opponents with higher levels than ordinary Demonic Cult members.

The level 5 Demonic Cult Elder dies in vain as his neck is pierced.

Muguk Online runs on the same level system as God’s Warrior.

If you simply consider the level, level 5 is equivalent to the Five Great Lords.

The reason why he can kill such an enemy like catching a bug is thanks to Seyul’s skill, but also because the level rises easily.

[Why is leveling up so easy?]

[The level keeps going up! …Me]

[It’s like I’m auto-leveling… alone]

Viewers expressed doubts about the continuous level ups.

[Does this Muguk Online originally level up this easily?]

[No]

[But in the system, Seyul can’t help but level up well]

A viewer who knows Muguk Online well explains.

[In God’s Warrior, you had to catch high-level monsters to get experience, right?]

[But in Muguk Online, you have to catch enemies with a big difference in martial arts level to level up well]

[Martial arts level?]

[What’s that, you weeb?]

[Simply put, it’s level and skill count]

[If you defeat an enemy with a big level difference, you get more experience in other games, right?]

[Here in Muguk, the number of skills is also included]

[An enemy who has learned more skills, martial arts than you is treated as stronger, so if you catch them, you get a lot of experience]

But right now, Seyul has only learned one martial art in the system.

Because he was defeating enemies with skill differences with this, he was automatically getting experience buffs.

Besides, the enemies are only high-level monsters called Demonic Cult members.

It was like he was defeating high-level mobs scattered everywhere while receiving a large amount of experience buffs.

It’s impossible for other users.

To defeat an opponent with many skills, you have to learn many skills yourself.

It’s something that happens once in a while, but Seyul has caused this to happen countless times today.

As a result.

[Level 7?!]

All the viewers were surprised when Seyul’s level became 7 in no time.

[Aren’t all virtual reality games max level 9?]

[But if it’s 7, it’s already almost max level]

[Even the top-ranked players in Muguk Online are all around level 5?]

[Crazy, he reached the top as soon as he started!]

[Isn’t he just the strongest now?]

[He was already running wild even though he was a low level]

The viewers were all amazed that Seyul had become the strongest in this game.

But,

‘This is not enough!’
