22. Playing with heroes is so much fun.

-(Bermin Hipster): The hero is not that kind of guy. It’s not that I don’t have money.

I narrowed my eyes as I looked at the new post.

He was a guy who gave off the scent of a newbie.

Moreover, he was taking the hero’s side.

Of course, it wasn’t that there were no people who took the hero’s side. After all, he is a ‘hero’.

But something was strange.

‘From the nickname to the way you write and the handwriting… it’s a little strange, isn’t it?’

I narrowed my eyes even more.

For some reason, there was one person that came to mind.

‘no way…?’

I replied to him for no reason.

-(Trickster): Vermin dandy. What do you think about the Mercenary King?

-(Bermin Hipster): Mercenary King…? Well, I don’t think it’s bad.

The best name in the community was reacting to the newbie.

However, the Vermin dandy showed a surprisingly calm response.

And I found confidence in his reaction.

“The guy who takes the hero’s side doesn’t hate me?”

Heroes also have their own fans. And they hated the day they had a confrontation with the warrior in the restaurant.

It was because he dared to confront the warrior.

But Vermin’s reaction was different. He said the mercenary king was fine.

Of course it was nonsense.

‘In cases like this… the only way to do this is when the parties are involved.’

I lied because I was stabbed for no reason.

I nodded slowly and told him his identity.

“He’s a hero.”

Plus, that damn handwriting.

It was similar to the handwriting of a warrior I had seen once. I just remembered.

‘And the name of the place where the warrior was born is Vermin.’

It was a secret that not many people knew about. But I had heard it while partying together.

Anyway, the warrior made many efforts to deliberately hide his identity.

But is it still a newbie?

My eyes couldn’t deceive me.

I smiled evilly for a moment.

“That’s right, revealing one’s identity… isn’t fun.”

Here I was able to expose his identity right away. And I was able to humiliate him and drive him out.

But that wasn’t fun.

If you tried to reveal his identity anyway, he would just appear under a different nickname.

‘Yes, you’ll get caught right away because of the font, but…’

Or just eyeballing it like now.

Rather, it would be much more fun to pretend not to know anything and play with the hero.

I wrote immediately.

-(Trickster): You are a fan of warriors, right?

-(Bermin Hipster): Fan… Um… No… Ah, that’s right.

Even the hero himself must have felt something strange just now.

I protected the warrior, but the mercenary king said it was okay. That’s why I reacted like that.

I looked like I couldn’t stand it because it was so fun.

He then delivered a secret attack to the warrior.

-(Trickster): But I have a question… Why is the saint acting with the hero? We eat together and take classes together.

-(Bermin Hipster): That… I don’t know. Could it be because the saint likes warriors?

Of course it was bullshit.

And I roughly knew why.

But I couldn’t say that. As soon as I say that, it will be revealed that I am the mercenary king.

Instead, I told him about the rumors that were spreading in the community.

-(Trickster): I heard the hero is threatening me so I go with him here?

-(Bermin Hipster): That’s nonsense!!

-(Trickster): Why are you so excited?

-(Bermin Hipster): When did I get excited? I’m fine.

“Sigh.”

It was so much fun to play with. It was unbearable.

By the way, many users wrote jealous comments about my appearance.

-(Strongest Genius): Even though you’re a newbie, aren’t you talking too friendly with a guy who sides with the hero?

-(Academy’s Most Beautiful Woman): That’s right! It looks like he’s having more fun than talking to us!

I guess I just played around with the dragon too much.

I also played with the rest of the users. Although we were just criticizing the hero together, it was quite fun.

In particular, it was really fun to play with Vermin Stylish, who kept subtly using the hero’s shield.

As I played like that, time passed quickly.

“Is it already this time?”

As a trickster, I was overworked(?).

Now it was time to sleep.

I lay down on the bed with a happy face.

The thought of playing with heroes in the community in the future brought me unbearable joy.

***

Is it because I went to sleep with such a happy heart?

I had a dream for the first time in a long time.

‘This place…?’

It was also a dream that showed the past as it was.

I now realize that this is a dream. I just knew it right away.

It has to be that way…

Cheolpudeok.

“Keuuuu.”

“Ha! Is this all there is to it? So how can you come with us?”

It was because I was being beaten by a warrior.

To be precise, he was harassing me under the pretext of sparring.

Of course, it was something unimaginable now.

‘Ah, it’s time…’

The hero in the dream had a look on his face that anyone could see was in a bad mood.

He was relieving his bad mood by dealing with me. It looked quite vicious.

He stepped on me while I was lying down. And then it tormented me.

“Huh? Want to leave the party? Then I’ll let you out. Just say it.”

“Ugh… Oh, no.”

At this time, I was attached to the Ogiro warrior party. Even when I think about it, it was a pretty foolish time.

Anyway, I don’t know why I suddenly had this dream.

I thought for a moment as I watched myself being stepped on.

And I was able to notice one thing.

‘Oh, that’s right. Was this the time when you were rejected by the Pope?’

There was a reason the warrior was in a bad mood.

He wanted to marry a saint. I liked it so much that it was obvious even at this time, so it was natural.

Of course, we had an excuse. He had no selfish intentions whatsoever and said that everything was necessary for world peace.

In fact, at this time, a truce with the Demon King had not yet been concluded. So it wasn’t a strange statement at all.

This was because the second generation born between the two could prepare for an unexpected future.

Anyway, the warrior went all the way to the Church and asked the Pope for permission.

However, the saint was bound to religion. I couldn’t do something like marriage without permission.

But there were no exceptions. Saints could also marry with the Pope’s permission. There actually was such a case.

But unfortunately for the warrior…

The Pope rejected the warrior’s offer.

Of course, I very politely declined. Still, he was a warrior.

But the shock the warrior received was enormous.

Of course he thought the Pope would give permission.

But rejection…

So he stayed in the church and did everything he could to find out the reason.

And after using a bribe to find out, I was able to find out the reason.

‘I told you. ‘This is a status society.’

In the end, it was because the warrior had a humble origin.

At this time, he had just become a nobleman. He was given a noble family name in recognition of his achievements.

But the territory was not received. He could be seen as just a superficial nobleman.

And that didn’t please the Pope.

He was the ruler of the church. The saint was like his daughter.

If possible, she wanted to marry a man with good conditions. A warrior without a single territory did not meet that standard.

Of course, the saint was allowed to continue to stay with the hero’s party.

Still, he was one of the strongest warriors in the world. It would have been a shame to throw it away so easily.

Anyway, the warrior who found out all the facts was very shocked.

‘The shock at this time made the hero harass me even more.’

And then he started taking out his anger on me. It was a very painful time.

In the end, after tormenting me as much as I could, the hero kicked me out of the party. I also vividly remember it because it was quite difficult.

Anyway, I didn’t have this dream for nothing.

I could roughly figure out why.

I had this dream because of the relationship between the saint and the warrior who was still with me.

Clearly, the hero had made a truce with the Demon King. Therefore there was no longer any need to maintain the party.

Yet strangely enough, the saint and the warrior went together. To be exact, I thought they broke up and met again recently.

Anyway, I was thinking of the reason like this.

‘It’s clear that the Pope and the warrior made some sort of secret pact.’

What the warrior lacked was territory.

However, an opportunity arose to create a territory. It was no ordinary manor either.

It was a large territory that included the huge city of Trier.

This is the territory that the big(?) King of Aachen decided to give to the top graduate.

Both the warrior and the Pope would have had their eyes shining.

‘Perhaps they made a secret pact that if they graduated at the top of their class, they would be allowed to marry a saint?’

A warrior who was no different from a wandering noble suddenly became a great noble. Of course, the Pope would also like this.

That may be why the saint is with the hero. Perhaps, it seemed like the Pope had given a command to the saint.

However, from my perspective, it was absurd.

‘Who gets to decide which hero gets the top spot?’

The Pope placed a bet on a warrior. He even gave a saint as collateral.

But they were unaware of my existence. To be precise, I wouldn’t have even thought about it.

‘I’ll never see a hero take the top spot.’

But I was not an easy opponent. In particular, I have never seen a hero do well.

‘A hero gains a great territory and even a saint? ‘Do you think I’m crazy?’

Is it because I’m too excited anyway?

“Ha, it was a dream after all.”

I sighed and got out of bed.

“I can’t believe I had such a fucking dream…”

Although I slept in a good mood, it was like having a nightmare.

But it wasn’t all bad.

Should I say that it was an opportunity to reflect on my goals once again?

‘I absolutely have to go to Earth. So, after buying Bitcoin, I will play around with it for the rest of my life. but…’

Even if I don’t get the top spot…

I will absolutely stop the hero.

It was an important dream that I realized once again.
