Level 1 Player

“I see you, my lord.”

Particha gave Hyunseong a respectful manner and offered a military service.

It's been quite a while since Hyunseong and Partisha met.

Even so, Partisia's attitude did not change.

“Nice to meet you, Partisha-sama.”

“Are you here to hunt?”

Hyunseong nodded at Particha's question.

“Yes, I think so. Oh, and I have a special gift for you.”

“What if you said it was a gift?”

“It’s an achievement.”

At Hyunseong's words, Particha's eyes twinkled.

Partisha tried countless times to become stronger.

Hyunseong is also a level 1 player and Partisia is a level 1 player.

However, there is a huge gap between the two that cannot be bridged.

The cause of the gap was the point, but there was also a clear difference in achievement.

Because achievements are the fastest way for a level 1 player to become stronger.

Hyunseong took the book of bondage out of the subspace.

“This is a creation-grade item.”

At Hyunseong's words, Partisha's face hardened like a stone.

“Tea, creative grade?”

It was an item of a level that Partisha could not even imagine.

In the case of Partisha, the limit of monsters that could be hunted purely on her own was legendary.

Even if only semi-myth class monsters floated, I was busy avoiding them.

From the point of view of such Partisha, creation-grade items were a treasure that was difficult to even look at for the rest of their lives.

“Yes, they gave me the first Transcendental Achievement. That's the only grade there. Total stats increased by about 3,200.”

Partisha's mouth widened and opened.

Partisha's total stats were only around 3,000.

From the Partisha's point of view, the total stats were more than doubled.

“Thank you, Lord, for your great grace! New Partisha! I will sacrifice my life to be loyal to my lord!”

Partisha once again swore allegiance to Hyunseong with her moved face.

‘Well, it was the same with Lucia.’

From Hyunseong's point of view, the two people's attitude was understandable.

The stat amplification value of the achievements given by creation-grade items was that great.

‘Well, it’s the first achievement, so the downside is that you can only receive one person per dimension.’

However, if it could be given to several people, the title would not have been given, and it would not have been given so many stats as a reward for achievements.

“Take it.”

Hyunseong handed the Book of Bondage to Partisha.

Partisha respectfully accepted the Book of Bondage.

Partisha politely handed her book of bondage back to Hyunseong after earning her achievement.

“The grace and trust you have shown me will never be forgotten.”

In Hyunseong's eyes, Partisha's loyalty figures seemed to have taken her max.

Particha was an achievement as well, but he was greatly moved by the fact that Hyunseong handed over a creation-grade item to him even for a moment.

Hyunseong is a mercenary and Partisha is a native of the dimension that exists today.

It was also possible for Partisha to get a creation-grade item and banish Hyunseong to her original dimension if Partisha was offended.

Hyunseong knew that too.

Nevertheless, handing over the creation-grade item meant that Hyunseong had complete trust in Partisha.

‘Now that he has earned the trust of his master, all that remains is to repay him.’

Partisha desperately needed Hyunseong's help for the survival of the human beings in her own dimension.

Therefore, I was more than happy to have gained the absolute trust of Hyunseong rather than the huge stats.

“Now then, I will go hunting.”Shoo!

With those words, Hyunseong disappeared using space movement skills.

‘It’s still here.’

In Partisha's dimension, outside the defensive wall was a perfect monster paradise.

Since there were no dungeons, monsters were pouring out of the dimension gate indefinitely, so it was probably natural.

‘When can we normalize this dimension?’

Seals all dimension gates and turns them into dungeons.

It didn't seem easy.

The number of players was also very low.

‘It could take at least several decades, maybe even hundreds of years.’

Fortunately, the player's awakening rate of ordinary people living in Partisha's kingdom was high.

In particular, the awakening rate of players in their 10s and 20s was very high.

‘Is there a quota for each dimension?’

Earth has a large population.

Of course, the number of players is also large.

However, in terms of proportion, the dimension of Partisia is overwhelming.

Humanity was not simply pushed into the abyss of destruction.

In the past, I had heard from Partisha about the percentage of players in the prime of a kingdom about the size of Korea.

The number of players was so large that it could not even be compared with Korea.

‘Well, of course, the total amount is, of course, there are many regions with a large population, but… … .'

Hyunseong thought that the number of players assigned to each dimension might be fixed.

‘Well, it may or may not be.’

But guessing was useless.

What was needed right now was to secure as many players as possible and to improve the quality of those secured.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Hyunseong let out a loud shout.

The wide-area provocation skill mixed with shouts gathered the monsters scattered everywhere in one place.

Doo doo doo doo!

- Aaaaaaah!

- Kyaaaaah!

Monsters attracted by Hyunseong's provocation skill ran like crazy.

Then I found Hyunseong... … .

- Kiying.

- Whoops.

He hesitated like a frightened dog.

Hyunseong opened the subspace and took out the undead monsters.

‘Water Breath.’

After that, he used the water breath to wipe out the monsters.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

The cool water breath swept away the monsters that rushed to Hyunseong in one stroke.

‘At first I thought it was useless.’

The water breath skill was one of the most effective.

Water Breath is a skill that can send even mythical monsters in one hit if you hit them properly.

Of course, to extract that much output, the consumption of horsepower was enormous.

But there was no need to worry.

Because there were so many monsters, the absorbed stamina and magical power was left even after using Water Breath continuously.

The surplus magic produced in this way was left unattended for a long time and delivered new life to the undead monsters whose magic had been depleted.

‘I’ll just have to kill and hunt for a few days.’

The other guys can be replenished quickly, but a fairly large amount of magical power was required for the Transcendental Undead Leviathan.

At the time when Hyunseong was in the midst of hunting at the level of Partisia... … .

Another catastrophe was taking place on Earth.

* * *The interior of a heroic dungeon in New York, located in the eastern United States.

The players were busy hunting hard.

Even if the 3rd Cataclysm occurs and a player from another world appears, the morning sun rises and you have to go to work.

It was the same for ordinary people and players.

Players were preoccupied with hunting down the drake, which is situated in a heroic dungeon.

No matter how hard the players caught Drake, there was no shortage of Drake.

It was because the dimensional gate at the end of the dungeon was constantly spitting out drakes.

Wrath!

The existence of another world has crossed the dimension gate.

However, the existence of that other world was not the monster, Drake.

He was a player from another world with an intelligence equal to that of a human.

‘Successful.’

A bright smile appeared on the lips of the player from another world who had crossed the dimensional gate.

‘I don’t know why it suddenly succeeded, but it was a good thing for me.’

It was a great opportunity to set a big ball.

Now, if you only open achievements... … .

'Huh?'

However, no matter how much I waited, the first achievement did not appear.

This meant that some of his allies entered this dimension before himself.

'Damn it.'

He continued to take on dangerous adventures to get his first achievement.

They expected a typical high risk, high return.

However, a mouse cub intercepted his first achievement.

The high risk remained intact and the high return was taken away.

‘I can’t go back now.’

The die has already been cast.

‘I have no choice but to set the ball in another way.’

But my heart was impatient.

It was because he thought that the rat that came first might take away all the achievements he deserved.

The moment a player from another world tries to move his body.

"uh? Why is he here?”

A party in the middle of hunting Drake in the dungeon saw a player from another world and murmured.

The player from another world who crossed the dimensional gate had an appearance that looked like a mixture of a human and a crocodile.

A snout protruding like a crocodile and a long tail.

On the surface, there was no big difference from the Crocodile Man, a hero-grade monster.

In other words, it meant that it had the shape of a perfect monster by itself.

Crocodile Man is a monster located at the bottom of the hero level.

On the other hand, this was the Drake Dungeon, a monster located at the top of the hero level.

“I think it came in the wrong way. Or maybe he was being chased by Drake.”

The players judged the player from the other world to be a monster.

- Crumble!

The player from the other world who discovered the players from another dimension growled low.

The otherworldly player knew that his appearance was identical to that of a Crocodile Man.

“Looks like you were drawn to it. Let’s catch it.”

“There will be Drake. What crocodile man? It looks like it's going to be free service."

The level of the players was significantly higher than that of Crocodile Man.

Naturally, because of the 20-level rule, he couldn't get experience and loot.

For the players, it was like an unpaid hunting.

“I’ll just take it easy.”

percussion!

The melee dealer who was in the party flew lightly.Muscles are water bodies.

If it was properly hit by the crocodile man's tail, it could have turned into a machete.

However, the party's agility believed in his agility stat.

If the environment of the dungeon consisted of a swampy area favorable to Crocodile Man, he would not have gone out alone like this.

But this was Drake Dungeon.

There was no swampy area where the Crocodile Man could hide.

Quad Duck!

The sound of flesh being torn and bones breaking resounded throughout the dungeon.

- Crumple!

Crocodile Man twitched his lips as if he didn't like something.

‘The first achievement does not appear again.’

Killed a player estimated to be around 300-400 levels.

But again, no achievements were made.

He didn't seem a little behind.

‘If we meet, I will not leave you alone.’

The otherworldly player grinded his teeth internally.

Meanwhile, the party members of the dealer who were killed were in a state of complete encirclement against the players from the other world.

“Watch out, I’m not a normal guy.”

“Miller must have been too careless.”

"right. You saw that bastard running around and said that I would buy and hit him sometime.”

“That’s how I ended up paying the price with my life.”

Even after the death of a colleague, the party members talked calmly without much tension.

It was also because there were often cases where colleagues died in the dungeon, and the cause of death was mostly carelessness.

To the party members, it seemed that the dead Geundil jumped into the hands of the Crocodile Man himself.

'You'd better get rid of them.'

The player from the other world was planning to hide his identity and move secretly.

To do this, the witnesses had to be cleaned out.

Fortunately, I did not feel the popularity of other players around me.

This meant that only the players in front of them had to be eliminated.

percussion!

The otherworldly player who made the decision bounced forward like his bullet and swung his blade-like claws.

Scratch!

The body of the tanker standing in the vanguard was torn like a piece of paper along with the armor.

- Aaaaaaah!

A player from another world who roared like a monster ran towards the rest of the players.

Kwajik!

The warriors who stood in the vanguard following the tanker died indiscriminately.

“Hey!”

“Run away!”

The eyes of the players, who were relaxed, were colored with fear.

I didn't even think to fight.

All the players could do was turn around and run away with all their might.

It was possible that a fellow close-distance player was killed in a single blow.

Because Geun-Dil's body was no different than glass.

But tanks are different.

Killed a tank player in one hit?

That meant that the crocodile man in front of them was not a monster of the level they were going to face.

‘How a Crocodile Man?’

They couldn't even see the Crocodile Man's movements.

The tank player died without even raising a shield or activating a skill.

That was possible only if the basic stats themselves had a difference as big as the sky and the earth.

“Take me too!”

One of the healers who fell behind shouted out at the warriors who were ahead of them.

But her warriors couldn't afford to take care of her healers or her wands.

Kwajik! Aww!

“Aww!”

“Gagging!”

The healer with the lowest agility stat and her wands were the first to be sacrificed at the hands of the crocodile man.

The players of the Warrior class with high agility stats ran and ran with all their might while listening to the screams of their comrades.

‘The country has to live too.’

‘I can’t die in vain like this here.’

It is an enemy that cannot be defeated by resisting.

Even the warrior class players with high agility stats couldn't even see the tank die in one hit.

That meant that the crocodile man's agility stat was far superior to theirs.

strength?

It was strong enough to cut through a solid tank like a piece of paper.

If they had fought head-on, they would have been annihilated in less than a few seconds.

‘It’s more than the lowest legend.’

‘You have to go out alive and report to the superiors.’

The players of the warrior class ran and ran with the goal of only survival.

However… … .

Kwajik!

“Uh-huh!”

Scratch!

“Great!”

Running a little bit ahead was not enough to escape from the crocodile man's grasp.

‘I got them all.’

Crocodile Man.

No, the players from the other world gathered the bodies of the players they killed themselves in one place.

After that, he took out an item from the space and injected his magic power.

Whoa!

Light emanating from the item, along with a bright halo, absorbed the corpses of dead players.

‘Ugh.’

The player from another world who finished using the item tilted his head.

'This dimension must be a little tricky.'

Unlike the dimensions that had invaded so far, the system was somewhat complicated.

Items used by otherworldly players served to absorb the memories of the dead and deliver them to the user.

‘Especially the security system is complex.’

A player from another world who learned the information took out another item in the form of a mask from the subspace.

After that, a player from another world put the mask-shaped item on his face.

That moment.

Wow! Wow!

The appearance of the alien player, who had a shape similar to that of a Crocodile Man, changed to the appearance of one of the geeks he had just killed.

'This should be enough.'

He searched the body and found the clothes and ID of the player he had stolen.

"Ahhh!"

A player from another world opened his mouth and adjusted his voice.

“It seems to be somewhat similar.”

Fluent English flowed from the mouth of the alien player who had undergone some adjustments.

Surprisingly, the voice of the otherworld player was the same as that of the dead Geun-Dil.

“Shall we go now?”

A player from another world calmly exited the dungeon with a satisfied smile.

The dungeon gatekeepers looked curiously at the player from another world who came out alone.But I thought it was and passed on.

In the case of high-importance healers and tanks, it was impossible to leave the party in the middle of the hunt.

However, in the case of the dealer, there was a case where he sometimes left the party while hunting.

This is because hunting does not become impossible just because one dealer is missing.

The dungeon gatekeepers simply said that they must have left because there was a disagreement with the party members.

It was because the expression of the alien player was too casual to believe that an accident had occurred inside.

* * *

‘It’s all over.’

Hyunseong buffered the magical power of the undead monsters that were naturally lost.

‘Now I have to do a skill test.’

Hyunseong had a transcendental level skill that he learned a while ago.

A skill book left by a dead alien.

Although there was only one, the power of that skill was quite powerful.

If there's one problem... … .

‘The penalty is very severe.’

Even as Hyunseong, he was reluctant to test prematurely because of the penalty.

[Fellowship – Transcendence Grade]

-Active skill book

-You can subdue the spirit of a monster and make it into your family.

-You must feed the user's blood and flesh.

-The higher the rank and level of the monster, the more blood and flesh it must be fed.

-When you use a skill, the level and stats will drop by the amount of blood and flesh lost.

- Some of the lowered levels and stats are absorbed by the family.

‘Thanks to this, I must have controlled the monsters freely.’

The aliens manipulated too many monsters at will with so much ease.

Hyunseong was quite puzzled by that.

He did, but I didn't know he had such a skill.

‘Level has nothing to lose.’

Anyway, Hyunseong's level is 1.

He wanted to fall, but there was no level to fall.

The problem was the stats.

‘It’s a little vague.’

Hyunseong hasn't used penalized consumables like Ogre's Blood or Werewolf King's Heart for quite some time.

No, to be more precise, he didn't use it.

It was because of the Book of Gluttony.

The mutually increasing stats of gluttony are the basic stats of Hyunseong.

The result is different from the bonus stats obtained by acquiring achievements and increasing them as titles or items.

If you use consumable items with penalties, such as Ogre's Blood or Were Wolf King's Heart, the basic stats that Gluttony increases with each other are reduced.

From Hyunseong's point of view, it would be like using the Book of Gluttony to blow away the stats he worked so hard to increase.

In other words, when using consumable items, you have to take the same penalty of losing stats as other players.

In that sense, the skill of the family whose stats decreased was the same as Gyereuk from Hyunseong's point of view.

But there was one thing to test.

‘Levels and stats are dropping.’

Hyunseong paid attention to this phrase.

Obviously, the level comes first, followed by the stats.

‘Maybe it’s automatically linked.’

The level goes down, but the stat stays the same?

Then that in itself is a scam.

If you like, you can become a level 1 player like Hyunseong.

Of course, it is normal for the stats raised by leveling up to decrease when the level goes down by using a family skill.

Hyunseong discovered one possibility here.

'Maybe only the stats raised by leveling up may fall.'If so?

Hyunseong has no damage.

Currently, Hyunseong's total stat is incredibly high.

But all of them are elixir, achievements, and gluttony.

There was not a single stat that was increased by leveling up.

'If it's just what I think... … .'

It was also possible to use the skills that the aliens used to use without penalty at the expense of the level and stats that the aliens worked hard to raise.

‘Let’s test it.’

if successful?

It sucks honey properly.

What if you fail?

If it counts as a single-digit stat blown, that's enough.

‘You should choose the weakest.’

I plan to feed the blood and flesh as much as the snot.

If possible, even if consumed, single-digit stats will be consumed.

Hyunseong searched hard around.

However, it was not easy to find general grade monsters.

‘A chicken instead of a pheasant. No, is it a pheasant instead of a chicken?’

Hyunseong selected rare-grade monsters for testing.

In fact, in the case of low-level monsters such as general-grade monsters and rare-grade monsters, the difference in level and stats lost was there.

I was just looking for a normal grade monster because I was afraid that it would be easier to fall into the skill if I was weak.

- Key profit!

The monster facing Hyunseong screamed and trembled.

‘The synergy with the Lord of the Sea skill is good.’

Because of the Lord of the Sea skill, the monster was afraid of Hyunseong.

What if the monster's mental state is unstable?

It was easier to subdue the spirit.

‘Open your mouth.’

Hyunseong gave instructions to the monster.

The monster opened its mouth.

Hyunseong slightly cut her finger and dripped a drop of blood.

Tick!

A drop of Hyunseong's blood disappeared into the monster's mouth.

‘I said blood and flesh, but I didn’t say that you have to give both.’

Hyunseong cast her family skill and waited for the result.

- Affiliate skill has been successful.

- The user's level drops by 3.

-The user's strength stat is decreased by 1.

-The user's agility stat drops by 4.

-The user's stamina stat is reduced by 5.

-The user's magic stat is reduced by 3.

-The user's Spirit stat is reduced by 2.

Fortunately, even a drop of blood was able to succeed in the family skill.

The message that the level and stats had dropped also came to mind.

‘What level 3 drops with a drop of blood?’

The loss was huge.

‘I was trying to lower it by one level.’

What if Hyunseong's assumption goes wrong?

Instead of losing a stat of 5, which is a single digit, you lose a stat of 15, which is a two-digit number.

‘Fortunately, the stats have dropped as much as exactly 3 levels have fallen.’

The level dropped by 3 and the stat dropped by exactly 15.As for Hyunseong, I had no choice but to put my hopes on this.

'If it really fell, the damage would be huge.'

Hyunseong opened his status window with a trembling heart and checked his stats.

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

A smile burst out of his mouth.

‘It didn’t fall off.’

Hyunseong's stats were the same as before casting the family skill.

The message says that the user's level will drop by 3.

The stats also came out that a total of 15 fell.

But in reality?

All stats did not drop even by one.

‘Then let’s test it more accurately.’

Hyunseong instructed the target to move forward with the monster made by the family.

bum bum.

Kwon Sok followed Hyunseong's instructions and walked forward.

"Well… … .”

Hyunseong, who moved the family, felt something strange.

‘Isn’t this just an instruction?’

Hyunseong concentrated his mind as if he was using a clone made by himself.

Then an amazing thing happened.

A new perspective opened up before Hyunseong's eyes.

Two pieces of information were sent to his brain.

The first was the view that Hyunseong was looking at the monster he had made into his family.

The second was the view from which the monster I had made into the family was looking at Hyunseong.

‘It seems to consume quite a bit of magic power.’

However… … .

- Whoa, whoa!

The monster was about to say something.

However, due to the structure of the vocal cords, proper pronunciation did not come out.

‘You can control it as you please.’

Although magical power was consumed, according to Hyunseong's will, he was able to freely control the body and mind of the family.

It was also possible to speak.

It's like controlling an alter ego.

dump!

The monster that became Hyunseong's family fell to the floor.

Then, using his claws, he wrote on the soil floor.

'awesome.'

It was an amazing skill.

family.

This was not just a skill at the level of giving instructions to monsters.

If he wanted to, he could freely manipulate the body of the family as if it were his own.

‘Is this because it’s also a transcendental grade?’

Perhaps because of the high skill level, it was much more efficient than the dominance skill of the simply ruling Dragon King.

‘Well, it’s natural because the penalty is so severe.’

If you use your family skills as standard to dominate monsters, you must consume your level and stats unconditionally.

The Dragon King's dominance skill has a low rating and consumes a lot of magic power.

But there is no penalty.

Both the clan skill and the dragon king's dominance skill have their own strengths and weaknesses.

However, no penalty for family skills applies to level 1 player Hyunseong.

‘I have obtained a very useful weapon.’

Hyunseong flew to find the monster.

He noticed that there was no penalty, so he decided to test it properly.
