Title: But why do you insist on killing the same player?

Author: ㅇㅇ*

– You wouldn’t want to kill me because there’s a clear benefit to it, right?

n There is a definite advantage. Killing a player with your first kill guarantees you a 2 level increase.

ㄴ From then on, it’s just like hunting normal monsters, and the experience you get will vary depending on your level.

n Pioneer) The rest are either people who are just trying to kill the opponent to steal their items, or they are crazy.

n There are many hedonistic killers who live ordinary lives and then suddenly fall into a strange place called a tower, where the law and everything else becomes useless and they go around killing.

n Archmage) Quite a lot.

***

Han Yoo-seong recalled what had been discussed in the gallery before being summoned to the exchange meeting.

‘Confirmed level 2 increase.’

That would certainly be enough of a motivation for a player who had yet to commit their first murder to do something crazy like murder.

Baek Jin-young continued to point his sword at Han Yu-seong.

“Put the item you ate with the highest score in the exchange meeting on the ground first and stand with both hands up.”

Han Yoo-seong opened his mouth while facing Baek Jin-young.

“Since when have you two been a team?”

Baek Jin-young raised the corners of his lips and gave the answer obediently.

“We met at the last exchange meeting and became friends. That’s why we were summoned together. This time.”

Baek Jin-young continued speaking.

“When one of the two fails to get first place, kill the player who got first place and steal their items. That’s what we decided to do at this exchange. Oh, if you’re thinking of killing time and returning to the tower you were in, you’d better stop. If you attack when that circular white light appears, the return will be canceled. ”

Baek Jin-young also told Han Yoo-sung facts that he already knew from his seniors at Choewon Gallery.

When Han Yoo-seong remained silent after hearing this, Baek Jin-young tilted her head.

“You can’t react because you’re scared, you can’t easily spit out the item you got?”

Baek Jin-young’s head turned towards Sun Hao-ran.

“Then we have to kill him and take him out of the drops. Sun Haoran, kill him.”

Sun Haoran raised the corners of his mouth.

“Okay.”

Han Yoo-seong knew why they looked down on him so easily.

Because it was obvious.

.

Numbers floating above your head.

That one number.

That must be the source of their confidence that allows them to approach without hesitation.

“I was aiming for the last blow. Why are you throwing your spear there and taking the last blow? The Kobold kid didn’t dodge and got hit directly. It’s because I and the other kids already drained all my strength. ”

Baek Jin-young clicked her tongue and continued speaking.

“Laura, that girl doesn’t even know why she’s so bad at playing on Hard difficulty. She doesn’t even know that I’m from the same Hard difficulty. She just bows down to me and I’m just being arrogant. Tsk.”

Baek Jin-young didn’t notice.

After hearing what he just said, Han Yoo-seong made a decision.

Han Yoo-seong asked casually.

“You’re from Hard. What about that guy?”

Baek Jin-young snickered.

“That guy is normal. But he’s still someone you can’t beat.”

Boo-

Sun Haoran waved the blade of his spear in front of Han Yusheng’s eyes.

“Think you’re unlucky, 3rd floor.”

Sun Haoran said this and stepped forward with his right foot. The spear swung down at a rapid speed.

Sseung-!

The creative staff soared into the air.

“… Huh?”

Sun Haoran’s frozen voice rang out.

A light flashed once more in his vision.

This time I couldn’t make any sound.

Blood was spurting from his neck.

“Ugh… Ugh!”

Sun Haoran dropped the spear to the ground and grabbed his neck with both hands.

“Oh my gosh!”

But that didn’t stop the bleeding.

Sun Haoran’s body, lying on the floor, wriggled like an insect. Soon, the wriggling stopped completely.

My breathing has stopped.

“… … .”

Baek Jin-young gulped as he looked at the puddle of blood flowing from Sun Hao-ran’s neck.

I felt so stupid.

As if the accident had stopped.

3rd floor resident.

A player who had just cleared the second floor killed Sun Haoran, a resident on the seventh floor.

Something happened that defies common sense.

Baek Jin-young’s head was filled with confusion.

Baek Jin-young looked at Han Yu-seong.

Before Han Yu-seong knew it, he was holding a sword in his hand.

[Great Sword Carnabalt].

It was the sword I just received as a reward for first place in the exchange meeting.

Han Yoo-seong opened his mouth.

“I was lucky.”

Looking at the number ‘8’ floating above Baek Jin-young’s head.

“… What?”

“I was lucky enough to kill Sun Haoran.”

After saying those words, Han Yu-seong walked forward.

Baek Jin-young was standing in front.

It’s strange.

Sun Haoran died in an instant at that guy’s hand.

But even so, it’s only the 3rd floor.

The stairs floating above Han Yoo-seong’s head and the hard difficulty tower of his hometown made Baek Jin-young’s body move.

‘Kill.’

Mana flowed out of Baek Jin-young’s Mana Heart.

[Magic Body Strengthening Lv.2 – Activates skill.]

Baek Jin-young raised his sword, the scimitar, diagonally.

A white trajectory covered Han Yu-seong’s upper body.

‘That’s right…!’

Baek Jin-young’s confidence was immediately distorted.

The scimitar eventually cut through the air.

Phew!

“Ouch!”

Baek Jin-young looked at her abdomen.

The handle of the sword that Han Yu-seong was holding, Carnavalt, had struck his abdomen.

Pfft!

This time, his head was thrown back.

Han Yoo-seong’s fist landed in his jaw.

Baek Jin-young, who had barely managed to hold onto his fading consciousness, quickly swung his sharpened sword horizontally.

Han Yoo-seong followed the trajectory with shining eyes.

Even after being attacked, he immediately recovered his posture.

And the attack stretched out like an island. Baek Jin-young’s attack was threatening enough.

Teeing!

“The combat sense itself doesn’t seem bad.”

Baek Jin-young’s scimitar soared into the air.

Baek Jin-young’s right arm was raised high.

“I don’t have enough strength.”

Ugh!

Han Yoo-seong’s extended lower kick sent Baek Jin-young’s leg crashing into the ground.

“Kkaaaak!”

He approached Baek Jin-young, who was rolling on the floor holding his left leg, and twisted the elbow of his right arm.

Boom! Bam!

I broke my shoulder joint.

“Kkaaah!”

His bizarrely bent right arm hung limply.

My shoulder was completely dislocated.

Han Yoo-seong bent down and held his right arm, locking eyes with Baek Jin-young, who was trembling all over.

“Can you see this?”

Baek Jin-young shook her head because all she could see was Han Yoo-seong waving his hands in the air.

Is the Transcendent Gallery visible to other climbers?

That was the question that confirmed it.

Han Yoo-seong opened his mouth again.

“Say it. Don’t do it.”

Baek Jin-young had no intention of rebelling against Han Yu-seong’s words.

“It just looks like he’s waving his hand in the air.”

In a short period of time, too much fear set in.

“What’s your level?”

Han Yoo-seong decided to ask each of the things he was curious about.

Baek Jin-young answered with a trembling voice.

“O’clock, sixteen… .”

Is this because we live in the 21st century?

The level had risen quite a bit, just as Han Yoo-seong had expected.

“Strength, agility, stamina, magic. In that order.”

Baek Jin-young’s lips trembled.

“If I tell you… will you spare my life?”

“It depends on what you do.”

Baek Jin-young bit her lips for a moment, then spoke again.

“Status Window… Strength 38, Agility 36, Stamina 49, Mana 21.”

Except for stamina, all of the stats were about half of Han Yu-seong’s.

Considering that he had just gone up two levels by killing Sun Haoran, the distance between the two was even further.

“When you clear the stairs, did you form a party of at least five or six people?”

“… Why are you asking the obvious?”

Han Yoo-seong stored everything Baek Jin-young had said in his head, one by one.

Baek Jin-young, lying down, was rolling his head.

‘This guy won’t spare me.’

A man who had no hesitation in killing Sun Haoran.

He was now staring into the empty space above, his guard down.

‘Must kill.’

It only took a moment for the resolution to be put into action.

Wow!

Baek Jin-young, who had been wriggling like a bug, quickly raised his upper body. In his left hand, he was holding the scimitar that he had dropped on the ground.

Wedge!

Stabbed.

Clearly the 3rd floor chick.

But that belief was proven wrong this time too.

In the right hand of the third floor, which had avoided his murderous intent like a ghost, was a dagger that he had never seen before.

Sigh.

The dagger was pointed at his own neck.

Baek Jin-young’s body fell to the floor again.

Blood flows.

Dying.

Baek Jin-young thought deeply during the process.

Who the hell is that kid?

The cause of his defeat was clear.

.

I’m so caught up in those damn numbers.

A 3rd floor resident who just cleared the 2nd floor.

Still a very strong person.

At this moment, when life’s flashes should be flashing before my eyes, ironically, a scoreboard came to mind.

《 2nd floor – Score ranking 》

1st place – Private: 1,532 points

The second floor score ranking that I saw just before entering the exchange meeting and laughed out loud.

“… 1532?”

Baek Jin-young’s barely managed words rang in Han Yu-seong’s ears.

“It’s too late, it’s meaningless in this situation.”

At those words, Baek Jin-young opened his mouth to add more, but he was unable to utter the next words.

Baek Jin-young’s body fell limp as he lost his breath.

Tch.

Han Yoo-seong clicked his tongue.
