35.

“It’s over. It’s over!”

Hong Seo-min said with confidence.

The corners of his mouth wiggled like an earthworm.

She looked on arrogantly like the head of an evil organization, and it seemed like this was the best seat in the house.

-Mr. Jinyoung, are you okay?!

-Damn, you were right. My stomach, my stomach feels like it’s been punctured.

-I’ll stop the bleeding. Lie down. Are you okay? First of all, it’s not a penetrating wound.

– Really? Oh, your skills at unbuttoning clothes are still the same.

Swish.

-… … I only like Houdae.

-yes?

-Turn your head around. Ah, I don’t even want to see your face.

What’s up with that girl?

Hong Seo-min’s eyes narrow.

You want me to stain the man I’m going to have with blood?

First of all, whether you hit the jackpot or cut off the pulse, you’re dead. It’s also a problem for a man to wander around such a dangerous place. If it were me, I would have made a place for him to build up his masculinity.

– Take a deep breath, slowly. I’ll prepare a few sedatives for you.

Considering his large build, it might not be so bad.

“That’s funny.”

The view is also good.

I can hear the screams clearly too.

Isn’t that the best seat?

“But my throat is a little sore. I drank all the cola… .”

Hong Seo-min felt the pulse.

Mana is in disarray.

Could it be because I stayed at the gate for a long time?

Even the new humans, the Awakened, have a hard time resisting the Gate and the Tower.

Of course, Hong Seo-min is an exception. He is strong. He made a deal with Top and gained power.

Those who fought Mirginos below were also an exception.

“Hey. Drink. I’m thirsty.”

-······.

King of Dolls, I’m sorry, but we’re out of soda.

The doll bowed her upper body in a sad manner.

“No? How dare this useless kid.”

Hong Seo-min clicked his tongue.

Tsk, then it would be nice to have some popcorn─ Hong Seo-min threw an empty can of Coca-Cola at the male doll as if venting his anger.

The doll tapped the empty can and put it in a black plastic bag. There were dozens of similar volume-based bags.

“Ah, this is boring. All of them. The dolls are just full of trash. Honestly, except for that guy. I thought I was going to die from boredom. Didn’t I?”

Scratching my ear.

Nod nod.

“That’s right. Killing Mirginos was really unexpected. He wasn’t some movie character.”

Hong Seo-min leaned back against the back of the chair with a thud. Then he shrugged his shoulders.

“To be frank… … Hehe. Who would put an A-class monster on the first floor of the tutorial?”

The doll turned its head toward Hong Seo-min. Its facial features did not move.

After all, it’s a doll.

It seemed to Hong Seo-min that he was asking, “Isn’t it you?”

“That’s right, it was me. I did it. I didn’t know that stupid bitch and that guy would get involved. These days, rookies are being too hard on themselves, so Top was begging. If it’s too easy, it’s no fun. Heh.”

The doll nodded in response.

“… … Tsk. I guess I’ll have to change soon.”

Hong Seo-min clicked his tongue.

If you keep talking like this by yourself, you’ll get sick.

I couldn’t say anything because I made it a few days ago.

I really wonder if I’m crazy.

Hong Seo-min always has such worries in front of the doll.

Why was it made into a doll?

I saw it on Starstagram.

Because I thought the original was pretty.

I tried to seduce her and she fell for it.

Too easy.

Hong Seo-min also thought it would be okay at first. I wondered if it would be different this time.

It was a huge misjudgment, though.

‘There was nothing. No taste, nothing.’

There is absolutely no such thing.

Fragrance-free and odorless.

A flower without fragrance.

I can’t find any charm in it. What’s the use of being beautiful? It has no fragrance. In the end, it’s just for decoration.

Hong Seo-min’s deviations are always like this.

Just by looking at the appearance.

After you have possessed it in every way possible.

I’ve played with it a few times.

Walking around outside.

Harassing women walking around.

I controlled it as if it were a game character.

A dopamine storm like cheap frozen food or cheap drugs comes rushing in.

Hong Seo-min is in a daze as if he is drunk, and then returns to reality.

That sense of satisfaction that you have it, that only you can have it. That feeling is fading.

A common low-class toy. The perception remains.

The packaging is nice, but the actual product is poor.

The same goes for nutrition.

It’s about making people exhausted.

“Die.”

-?

“Die.”

Hong Seo-min instructed the doll to commit suicide. Afterwards, he placed his elbows on the armrest with his hands clasped together.

Wiggling feet.

This is the first time I’ve had this kind of impulse.

The urge to have it.

“······That’s why you shine more, more. Right?”

Hong Seo-min whispered.

I know you can’t hear it.

But I don’t want to keep it inside.

She couldn’t take her eyes off Lee Seong-han.

Because it’s perfect.

Different from other awakened ones.

Especially S-class ones.

Kang Mi-young, a stone-head who focuses only on strength and martial arts.

It’s definitely different from the blue-haired, hollow-faced girl who says she can do anything by just using that light!

You can counter yourself.

He’s also good at thinking outside the box.

I dare not dare to call him a genius.

‘Family rivalry.’

Hong Seo-min smiles. In a way, isn’t that what she longed for the most? Something she could have, but couldn’t.

genius.

opponent.

Rival.

“Ehhhh.”

He will soon be in my hands.

Hong Seo-min closed his eyes, thinking about the closing remarks that would come.

“?”

Exactly 30 seconds later.

“Hands up!”

“Surrender.”

Hong Seo-min was arrested.

* * *

“Kang Jin-young! The dragon is breaking through in that direction. Be careful!”

“Charge! Damage! ”

2nd floor audience seats.

Kang Jin-young used magic in a hurry, flustered.

Mirginos’s dash pattern. Pulls the body back and pierces like a bullet with the flapping of wings. If hit, it is an instant death to anyone except the tank.

Stretch your arms out straight.

“B, blink!”

I tried everything but nothing happened.

[Magic use has been cancelled.]

“I can’t use magic. Ah.”

Boom───!

Mirginos drove the double-layer pillars in. Kang Jin-young’s two legs shook like aspen trees.

The main pillar of the audience seating area.

It is made of common wood and is not very durable.

It’s a miracle that it’s even being maintained because it’s not being managed well.

“ah.”

Even a 4th generation tank wouldn’t be able to withstand a rush attack.

“Fuck!”

Kang Jin-young, who was on the railing, fell down.

“Mr. Jinyoung!”

Lee Seonghan ran quickly and jumped down first.

[Starts ‘Auto Battle’.]

Mirginos is trapped under the rubble of the double-decker. Now is your chance.

After landing, I prepared to receive it immediately. I spread my arms wide and tried to cushion the impact.

“I’ll catch you!”

widely.

Got it.

The ability values that have been strengthened so far have been a great help. As expected, it was a good idea to train in the closed room. The doll experience is also good.

“Am I alive? Am I not dead in that dragon’s head?”

Kang Jin-young, who looked like a surprised baby bird.

I opened one eye first.

My whole body is covered in cold sweat.

Lee Seong-han carefully held her in his arms and ran. A cool breeze blew.

“Phew. As expected… … He’s handsome. Ugh.”

Kang Jin-young felt relieved inside. She felt like she was the main character in a movie.

“Oh, oh, oh, oh.”

“Are you okay?”

“·········No. Mr. Seonghan. Blood!”

Knock knock.

A bright drop of blood falls onto Kang Jin-young’s suit.

Fortunately, it stopped quickly, but the frightened look on his face did not go away at all.

“It’s okay. I need more blood!”

“You need blood?”

With light footwork, continue running towards the other side of the stage.

Lee Seong-han also has a plan.

70% of the human body is water.

Paper becomes less durable when it gets wet.

Isn’t blood also a liquid?

“So if you pour it there… … won’t it melt?”

“Mr. Seonghan, are you crazy?”

“I’m totally out of my mind right now! It’s like I’ve been pumped with caffeine!”

After listening to Kang Jin-young’s explanation, he glared at her with an expression that said, “Is that some new nonsense?”

“Your blood is clotting. What are you going to do about it? What, do you have hemophilia or something?!”

hemophilia.

It means a disease that prevents the blood from clotting. Of course, there is none. If there was such a disease, I would have done public service. Oh, isn’t it because I woke up?

Tiring~!

[The ‘block’ reportedly recognized the clotting factor Factor VIII.]

[‘Regeneration’ has allocated resources needed for blood production. 100,000 won per 1L.]

It’s a bit tricky.

[‘Regeneration’ is not good for contract workers, so the price is revised. It is 70,000 won per 1L.]

Okay, perfect! While Lee Seong-han is running while holding Kang Jin-young in his arms].

“Your Majesty! This way!”

“Okay.”

Kang Mi-young stood in the audience, holding a sword, ready to strike.

It has already been pushed up to the wall of the audience seats.

Bae Soo-jin.

That was the first word that came to Lee Seong-han’s mind.

“Oh, I think my back is going to hurt again.”

“Again?”

He carefully sat Kang Jin-young down on the floor and prepared to confront him.

First of all, Kang Jin-young is out. He poured out all the magic he had prepared, but the message didn’t even reach the liver. Now it’s the second phase.

“Do you really think it will work?”

Kang Mi-young asked nervously. It was an iron fortress that could not be pushed back even by S-class. It was natural for her actions to be cautious.

“Of course.”

“I’m afraid of how far your abilities can go.”

“There’s a saying that if you’re going to die anyway, it’s better to pretend to be crazy and die.”

Shh.

[Auto Battle] works silently.

Mirginos was already covered in blood. It was all Lee Seong-han’s blood. The scent of blood was so strong that it spread all the way here.

Of course it’s okay.

Because there is [Replay], I just rolled it enough to not die.

His body aches and he is tired, but he cannot bear it when he thinks of the reward.

What could it be?

Shortening the global deadline?

Reward vacation?

Teu …

“Ehhhh.”

Laughter breaks out.

First, we’ve completed the first stage of this plan. Isn’t blood also a component of the body? Therefore, characteristics can be involved.

“That is. That guy.”

“… … You’re saying you’ll die soaked in your blood.”

“That’s right.”

What if we remove the clotting factor attached to Mirginos?

Just thinking about it makes me smile.

‘Get started.

[‘Block’ removes the clotting factor Factor VIII.]

Coagulation factor Factor VIII.

A substance involved in causing blood to clot.

When that disappears, the blood remains liquid.

thus.

[Status, ‘Hemophilia’ acquired.]

[The bleeding begins!]

Mirginos’ entire body turns red. Cracked blood flows out, soaking the paper.

[‘Block’ removes magic from the target.]

This game is almost a done deal.

* * *

I closed my eyes and imagined it, but the silence was broken.

Because the messenger doll is back.

The people locked underground are screaming to be let out.

“Huh.”

I’m going to die soon anyway.

Is there really any need to worry about it?

“Sisters Kang Jin-young and Kang Mi-young are nothing special either. That’s for sure.”

-… ??… ?

“Are you sure? Huh, you’re being arrogant as a messenger. Your standards are actually shrinking. Tsk tsk, look at those bitches. They’re so cold and they’re just simmering. Stupid bitches. ”

-… … ?

Hong Seo-min snorted. The game is already over. They will die, and Lee Seong-han will be dragged in front of him.

She considered herself lucky.

Sleeping on firewood and tasting gall.

Endure and overcome any difficulties that come to achieve a goal.

She smiles as if she’s letting go of her pride.

No matter how tough your opponent is, in the end you are the winner.

[Paper doll, Mirginos’ connection is broken.]

“What is it?”

The flow stopped for a moment.

I turned on the screen in a hurry.

Mirginos is melting. The paper feels like it’s soaked in water. But it’s got a 7-circle blocking spell. How did you get through it?

What are those bloods?!

-Now! I’ve released the spell, so now it’s time to cut it down.

-I get it.

Kang Mi-young bowed her upper body and drew her sword. The sword wind flew towards Mirginos.

Ss …

A masterpiece created using the best resources is instantly transformed into a piece of paper. Why does it die so easily?

[《Paper Doll, Mirginos》 has been defeated.]

Hong Seo-min stutters.

“Hey. You─”

The messenger is already dead. He is under the control of the tower. The tower must have ordered him to commit suicide. Is that so?

[Quest Failed]

He looked out the window with trembling eyes. The tower had cut off his hand. As if it was no longer of any use.

Huh, heh heh heh heh.

I can’t help but laugh. Hong Seo-min was going crazy.

Damn, Lee Seong-han. How strong are you!

There is someone who surpasses you.

[Your favorability level has increased.]

[Your favorability level has increased.]

[Your favorability level has increased.]

[Your favorability level has increased.]

…

…

…

[Hong Seo-min, who has surpassed a certain level of favorability, develops the ‘Chaos/Violence’ trait.]

“As expected. The best.”

The screen moves. Lee Seong-han walks across the stage and heads backstage.

It will arrive soon.

Knock knock knock.

The sound of footsteps.

bang!

“Hands up!”

A man is seen kicking open the door and coming in. Hong Seo-min raises both hands. The Kang sisters follow suit and arrive one after another.

It’s fun.

That sense that someone can surpass you.

“Surrender.”

Hong Seo-min was arrested like that.
