Level 1 Player

Hyunseong took over the Frod Kingdom in an instant.

However, Hyunseong was not satisfied with that level.

‘There are still a lot of prey left.’

Hyunseong invaded the Meida Kingdom right after taking the Frode Kingdom.

In the case of the Frod Kingdom, the war was ended after gathering the lords in one place, so there was no need to visit the lords and deal with them one by one like the Grado Kingdom.

The Meida kingdom was startled by Hyunseong's lightning-like movement.

After that, they united as one and strongly resisted.

However, this could not stop Hyunseong, who had already united the two kingdoms.

That was the beginning.

The kingdoms near the old Grado Kingdom collapsed rapidly.

With the help of enemy level 1 players, Hyunseong gained power beyond the lord and king.

While the tight balance was being maintained, an irregular named Hyunseong popped out.

Of course, there was bound to be an uproar.

Kings and Highlords and Kingdoms and Kingdoms.

The balance that could have been maintained due to their equal strength was completely shattered.

In front of Hyunseong, the crumbling kingdoms increased one by one.

The more he did, the stronger Hyunseong's power grew, and the other kingdoms fell faster and faster.

Later, the kingdoms joined forces to form an alliance to stop Hyunseong.

But to no avail.

This is because Hyunseong continued to grow stronger even during the war for unification.

Hyunseong was getting stronger in real time.

It was thanks to the points earned through friendly level 1 players and enemy level 1 players.

Hyunseong slowly increased the content sold to enemy level 1 players.

As a result, the supply of points did not decrease, but only continued to increase.

Not only that, the creation-grade skill that Hyunseong obtained as a loot from winning the war was also rapidly increasing.

Existing aggressor-level kingdoms collapsed rapidly.

On the contrary, the territory of the kingdom ruled by Hyunseong grew rapidly.

Around the time Hyunseong was occupying other countries at a frightening speed.

There was another person who showed a similar path to Hyunseong.

* * *

The Shizura Kingdom was a kingdom without a monarch.

No, it was a kingdom that hated more than simply no monarch.

Naturally, they were subjected to severe checks and attacks from neighboring kingdoms.

The Shizura Kingdom has been dedicated to defense for a long time and has increased its power.

Then, when Hyunseong caused a cataclysmic change and started the war for unification, the Shizura Kingdom also drew its sword.

“Stop it! Stop it!”

The king of Kenny Kingdom shouted his throat burst.

The loyal servants of the king of Kenny Kingdom used their own body as a shield to block the enemy.

The great lords of the kingdom also swung their swords at their enemies with all their might.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't defeat the enemy.

Because their enemies were not living creatures.

- Whoops!

Skeletons that were left with only bones ran towards them with strange screams.

"die!"

A player from the Kenny Kingdom spit out abusive language and swung his sword.

The player's sword was full of magical power, and an active skill with strong attack power was activated.

However… … .

Break!

It was lightly blocked by a shield with a black skeleton wielded by the player.This is because the shield containing the skeleton was surrounded by a defense skill that was filled with magical power.

Whoops!

The player's breath was cut off by the subsequent skeleton attack.

The skeleton continued to advance with his weapon.

The problem was next.

The dead player got up at the hands of the skeleton.

Then he swung his sword at those who had just been his allies.

He didn't just wield it with physical force.

He had activated the active skill with the full magic and powerful attack power that he swung towards the skeleton.

He was revived as an undead while retaining the stats and skills he had during his lifetime.

“God damn it!”

His own loyal servant has turned into an enemy.

From the point of view of the king of Kenny Kingdom, it was going to be crazy and jumpy.

His ally's power continues to decline.

On the other hand, the enemy's power is continuously reinforced as the ally's power decreases.

The feeling of fighting against an enemy that can never be defeated was truly miserable.

It wasn't that he didn't know the solution.

First, find a necromancer who casts a skill that turns a dead player into an undead.

Second, you can wipe out all the undead while minimizing the sacrifice of friendly players.

But that was impossible.

This is because, in front of the king of Kenny Kingdom, there were so many undead that it was difficult to even count them.

The number of undead seemed to exceed 100,000 at least.

The necromancer who cast the skill?

didn't even look

“Where the hell did all those undead soldiers come from!”

The king of Kenny Kingdom was astonished to see more than 100,000 undead.

There was no end to the cut and the cut.

In addition, dead allies immediately resurrected as undead, but it was impossible to find a necromancer who casts skills and supplies magic power.

Crucially... … .

“How the heck could such a absurd thing be possible!”

The necromantic-type skill to summon the undead is quite rare, but it is not without it.

Naturally, under the king of Kenny Kingdom, there were subordinates who used necromantic skills.

But it wasn't that high.

Because it had many flaws.

The first disadvantage was that the maintenance cost of necromantic skills was high.

Even if you inject magical energy into the corpse of a dead player or monster, it will not last for a few days and return to the corpse.

In order to keep the undead, you have to continuously infuse them with magical power, which was practically impossible.

So, in general, only during battles, magic is injected to create the undead.

The problem is that when the magical energy that was injected is consumed, it returns to the corpse.

In battle, it was better to cast one more attack skill than to summon the undead with the same magical power.

Of course, if you use a lot of mana stones, you can make the undead last a little longer.

But yes, let's see.

It was because the same thing happened when the magic contained in the manastone was consumed.

Crucially, manastones serve as currency at the level of the invaders.

Literally, it was a skill that had to be poured like crazy to show its proper power.

The second disadvantage was the combat power of the undead revived by necromancy.

It would be nice if it wasn't the same as before, but... … .

Unfortunately, the combat power of players or monsters resurrected as undead was significantly lower than before.

If you pour magical energy like crazy or pour magic stones like water, you may become stronger than you were before.

But to be honest, casting other attack skills was more effective than that.

The third disadvantage was the limitation of the skill.Depending on the type of necromancy skill, only the player can be resurrected or only the monster can be resurrected.

The problem was not simply the type of corpse being resurrected, but the grade.

Existences higher than the skill level cannot be controlled.

What if there is a big difference in grades?

He couldn't even resurrect him as an undead.

But... … .

“How the hell!”

The undead corps that existed in front of them destroyed all the weaknesses of necromancy that the king of Kenny Kingdom knew.

100,000 undead attacked at the same time.

At first, I thought that if I endured, I would win.

However, the undead corps had already been maintained for over three days.

In addition, the undead corps were all players.

He used the stats and skills he had used in his lifetime.

If it is an undead, it must be weaker than it was before.

But it felt stronger.

Crucially... … .

One of the high lords killed by the undead was resurrected as an undead.

The Highlord is at the pinnacle of the players.

To say that such a person has been resurrected as an undead... … .

It was like saying that virtually any player's corpse could be called an undead.

“Damn it!”

I wanted to escape.

However, the undead could not escape by spreading the magical force field.

“Aww!”

"help me!"

The servants, whose stamina and mana were depleted, fell one by one under the attack of the undead.

Then he became an undead and attacked his allies.

"Ahhh!"

The king of Kay Nee shed blood tears as he watched the ruins of his hard-fought kingdom.

Gradually, the barrier of humanity was getting lighter.

And finally!

“Aaaah!”

The king of Kenny Kingdom also died at the hands of the undead.

The number of undead that occupied the Kenny Kingdom almost doubled in an instant.

bum bum.

The undead corps, which had grown to a total of 200,000 troops, began to march towards the next goal.

* * *

"what?"

Hyunseong was momentarily speechless.

-Uh, the undead are advancing. That number seems to be in the millions. Dozens of kingdoms have already been occupied by the Undead Legion.

“Please report in more detail.”

One of the sources scattered around Hyunseong's words diligently confided what he had seen.

The point was simple.

Millions of undead legions are occupying the kingdoms.

The flag of the Kingdom of Shizura was planted in the occupied kingdom.

It is believed that the undead legion was made from the corpse of a player.

Surprisingly, the undead corps included many of the kings and lords of exiled nations.

"crazy."

Hyunseong could hardly believe the report of the informant.

The informant, who was tied to the relationship between the monarch and the subject of Hana, could never betray himself.After a while.

An informant sent a video to Hyunseong's smartphone.

‘It was real.’

All reports of the informant were true.

A huge number of undead troops attacked the kingdom to such an extent that the end could not be seen.

The fight was one-sided.

Millions of undead legions and only hundreds of thousands of the kingdom's armies collided.

The Undead Legion was immortal.

Killed or killed, he came back to life.

In addition, the undead, who also used skills and possessed the power of kings and lords, were running rampant at the vanguard.

‘How is this possible?’

Hyunseong was blown away.

‘Isn’t it theoretically impossible?’

Hyunseong was also learning a necromantic skill called Resurrection of the Dead.

He is limited to monsters, but can resurrect a dead guy.

As a result, Hyunseong also had tens of thousands of undead corps in subspace.

However, the limitations were clear.

Periodically, he had to replenish his mana.

Hyunseong was able to easily maintain the undead corps through hunting and immortality.

But nevertheless, tens of thousands were the limit.

Tens of thousands were tight, but millions were absolutely impossible.

In order to control millions of undead monsters, the number of players under Hyunseong would need to be at least hundreds of millions of players, or even billions of people.

There is another problem.

'How can the Highlord and King be treated as undead?'

Hyunseong's resurrection of the dead is not properly controlled from the transcendental level.

The great lord and king were strong enough to destroy even the level of transcendental monsters in an instant.

You call them undead monsters?

‘It’s impossible even with a creation-grade skill.’

Hyunseong has collected numerous creation-grade skills through the war.

However, no matter how creative-grade skill he was, he couldn't produce that much strength.

‘That’s a power that surpasses the level of a creation-grade skill.’

Hyunseong's face hardened.

‘Is that the reason why the safety barrier is still maintained?’

Hyunseong occupied numerous kingdoms.

As a result, he acquired unparalleled power.

Because the balance of power was broken, he thought that the safety barrier would be destroyed, and he had several countermeasures in place.

However, the safety barrier continued to be maintained even though its power had weakened.

'Are you sure.'

The reason why the safety barrier continues to be maintained... … .

This is because the power of the necromancer who controls that undead corps is greater than that of Hyunseong.

Anxiety prevailed.

'I thought it was all over... … .'

I thought that the problems caused by the aggressor dimension would disappear after this unification war was over.

But that wasn't it.

Rather, a greater danger was approaching.

‘What should I do?’

All-out war was an act of self-destruction.

The size of the troops can be adjusted.

You can have millions of players under your command and hundreds of kings and lords under your control.

However, the undead who paid absolute loyalty to the necromancer and the subordinate who gave absolute loyalty to the monarch were completely different beings.

‘It’s not really about giving absolute loyalty… … .'

The king and the lords are simply silent, under the power of Hyunseong.

What if someone stronger than Hyunseong appears?

You can change boats at any time.

‘The good news is that Shizra Kingdom is the one who controls the undead.’

The Kingdom of Shizra hates players with the lord class.

A player who had the job of a monarch was nothing more than a prey that had to be caught and killed unconditionally for the Shizra Kingdom.

‘I will fight with all my might, but… … .'

They were more likely to run away when the situation became unfavorable.

Crucially... … .

‘There is no chance of winning.’

The enemy is an immortal army that never dies.

Even if all the troops under Hyunseong are prepared to die and fight with all their might... … .

They are, after all, living beings made of blood and flesh.

In the fight against the undead that did not die that much, in the end, there was no choice but to be defeated.

‘You have to find another way.’

Hyunseong also knew about the necromancer's weakness.

Currently, there is only one strategy that Hyunseong can take the most easily.

It was the necromancer's assassination.

‘I don’t think it will be easy.’

The king and the high lords turned into undead.

Hyunseong definitely got stronger. To the extent that the king and the high lords could be eliminated in an instant.

However, that would be the case if there was only one opponent.

What if tens of hundreds of people gather?

Even Hyunseong had no choice.

‘It must be that they are under strict protection or are completely hiding their existence.’

My butt hurts.

‘First of all, collecting information is a priority.’

There is a saying in the Sonja Warfare Act that there is a saying that Jipijiji is 100% burnt.

That was never wrong.

The only information Hyunseong currently knew was that the enemy was running millions of undead.

Hyunseong doesn't know the enemy's face or name, let alone the gender.

He needs to know information about the enemy so he can gather the right information.

-Collect information about the Shizra Kingdom. In particular, gather information about the necromancer who commands the undead as a top priority. Also, if you have any information about the Shizura Kingdom, be sure to report all of them, no matter how trivial.

Hyunseong gave instructions through the overlord's cry... … .

The informants who had been scattered across the continent for the unification war flocked to the Shizura Kingdom.

* * *

‘You must fulfill your master’s orders.’

Keigo was one of Hyunseong's subordinates.

He was also a competent informant.

Disguised as a vagrant, Keigo succeeded in infiltrating the territory occupied by the Shizura Kingdom.

He said, 'I thought he might be in danger.'

He wasn't dangerous at all.

Rather, he was safer than when he infiltrated another territory and collected information.

This is because the Shizura Kingdom did not exclude outsiders.

No, they welcomed it rather than rejected it.

It was by no means a common sight.

Most countries have rejected outsiders.

Even if they were from the same kingdom, they were often rejected if they belonged to a different territory.

However, the Shizura Kingdom was different.

‘It’s definitely like a country that rejects monarchs.’The Shizura Kingdom was also a hierarchical society.

But the wall wasn't that tight.

There was absolutely no discrimination.

Players and ordinary people were just people with the same rights.

In the Shizra Kingdom, everyone was officially equal except for the king.

Classes did exist, but were not as absolute as status.

‘It’s like a paradise for the people.’

What if he wasn't a subordinate who served his master?

What if I wasn't a player?

He must have buried his bones in Shizura's kingdom.

“The ideas scattered by the master have also taken root.”

In other kingdoms, things like democracy and socialism only spread from the shadows.

But Shizura Kingdom was different.

proudly spread out.

‘But the number of players is too small.’

The strange thing was that the proportion of players was too low compared to the number of people.

‘It is a country that cannot be maintained without a necromancer.’

The number and level of players is a measure of the strength of each kingdom.

What if there is no necromancer?

Shizura's kingdom would have been torn to shreds in an instant.

‘I need to gather information about the necromancer.’

Keigo diligently sold his feet.

However, he could not obtain much information about the necromancer.

It's just that the necromancer is the king of Shizura Kingdom.

He is highly respected by the people.

Those two were over.

‘It’s a big deal.’

Keigo felt nervous.

That was then.

'uh?'

Keigo soon noticed that he had been following him.

‘Are you going to run away?’

I was worried for a while.

‘Not yet.’

Keigo acted casually and continued to gather information.

As a result, he was able to notice that he was not the only one who followed him.

‘It’s almost like being under siege.’

It was a crisis.

‘Shall I use a stealth skill or a space movement skill?’

Conflict ensued for a while.

‘If a physical encirclement had been established, the magical force field would have been activated as well.’

Keigo refused to escape.

'To catch a drake, you have to go into the drake's burrow.'

Keigo hardened his heart.

A siege network was formed.

However, the guards surrounded Keigo and watched, but did not take any hostile action.

“Who is the King of Shizra Kingdom?”

Keigo changed his behavior.

In the meantime, he indirectly gathered information about the king of the Shizra Kingdom.

But not this time.

he asked openly.“Why are you asking that?”

The street vendor asked Keigo with a suspicious look.

“Actually, I am a player.”

Keigo put on a somewhat arrogant expression with those words.

However, the expression of the street vendor, who was nothing more than an ordinary person, was calm.

If it had been another territory, I would have fallen flat on the floor, but in Shizura Kingdom, the situation was different.

“Wow!”

Keigo coughed in vain and made a displeased expression.

“On the subject of vagrants, the campaign… … .”

Keigo blushed at the vendor's words and opened his mouth.

“Actually, I want to settle in Shizura Kingdom. But I don't want to live a normal life.”

“You mean you want to be a soldier.”

Keigo nodded at the vendor's words.

Although it is said that everyone is equal under the king, the Shizura Kingdom is basically a hierarchical society.

Naturally, the rank of soldiers is higher than that of ordinary people.

A soldier is not just a soldier.

It also plays the role of a police officer in modern society.

“Even in Shizura Kingdom, the soldiers will be made up of players, don’t they?”

“That’s right.”

“In addition, depending on the level, you will be assigned a higher rank.”

The Shizra Kingdom does not oppress or persecute players.

Rather, it treats them well.

Players were basically beings with a much higher combat ability than ordinary people, so it was natural.

In addition, the dimension of the invaders is basically a world where armed forces are prioritized.

What if you have a strong force?

You can have a higher rank.

“You seem to have a pretty high level.”

Keigo blushed slightly at the street vendor's question.

“Well, not that high.”

It was true.

The level of the informant Keigo is not that high.

However, due to Hyunseong's consideration, he only learned high-level skills such as stealth, search, detection, subspace, and space movement.

In fact, it's normal for Keigo's level to not even know the existence of those who are following him.

This is because the people who made up the siege were much higher level players than Keigo.

However, thanks to the detection skill learned with Hyunseong's consideration, he was able to fully grasp the existence of those he followed.

“Go over there.”

At the vendor's words, Keigo said with a casual expression pointing to the central government office.

“Can I just go? Were the boundaries tight?”

“You can just go.”

After the street vendor had said those words, he slumped down on his seat.

Keigo hesitated slightly, but eventually made his way to the central government office.

And while Keigo was heading to the central government office, the tails disappeared one by one.

‘I can run away like this, but… … .'

Keigo had already made up his mind.

He decides to walk directly into the enemy's den to get information.

* * *

Hyunseong continued the war for unification.

He had no defeat.

He continued to win.

But Hyunseong wasn't happy at all.

‘It’s frustrating.’Hyunseong frowned.

He spread the informants to the Shizra Kingdom.

However, no correct information was received.

‘At this rate, we have no choice but to bump into each other within two months at the latest.’

It was also a good catch.

At the earliest, it will collide with the Shizra Kingdom within a month at most.

‘I can’t force myself to slow down.’

The opponent is a necromancer who deals with the undead.

I don't know what kind of skill it is, but whether there are any restrictions, the number of tribal undead occupying the kingdoms has increased.

‘Fortunately, the kings are not fools.’

Rather than resist the advance of the undead corps led by the Shizra Kingdom, more and more people fled.

The king and the high lords took only the players and fled.

the people?

left as is

Fortunately, Shizura Kingdom was not harming the people.

Even the players in the lower territories who could not escape were not harmed if they surrendered.

But there was no mercy against players with the lord class.

He tried to kill even the Great Lord-level Undead.

‘It’s a three-way battle.’

The kingdom of Hyunseong and the kingdom of Shizura are gradually occupying the continent and advancing.

The kingdoms caught in the middle had no choice but to flee.

Hyunseong, meanwhile, accepted a huge number of kings and lords under his command.

The reason he was able to do that was simple.

Hyunseong was not hostile to players with the monarch job.

On the other hand, the Shizra Kingdom immediately killed players with a monarch job when they found it.

In a situation where there was nowhere to escape anyway, the only action the kings and lords of each country could do was surrender.

From their point of view, both Hyunseong and Shizura Kingdom were strong enemies they could not do anything about.

‘There are more and more people surrendering.’

The king and lords in the middle act as a shield so that Hyunseong's kingdom and Shizura's kingdom do not directly collide.

But the shield was getting thinner and thinner.

The day the shield completely disappears.

Like it or not, Hyunseong had no choice but to fight the Shizura Kingdom.

‘How the hell am I supposed to deal with it?’

He couldn't come up with a way to defeat the undead corps of Shizra Kingdom.

‘You must win.’

This was not simply a territorial dispute at the level of an aggressor.

What if Hyunseong can't stop the Shizura Kingdom from the aggressor level?

The undead corps of Shizra Kingdom will invade Earth beyond the dimensional gate.

Then it was all over.

All the defenses that Hyunseong had made to protect the earth collapse.

The earth that has been hard to protect turns into a fierce battlefield.

And maybe the Earth could have been captured by the Shizura Kingdom.

‘The remaining number is self-protection and hiring mercenaries… … .'

It divides the army into hundreds of thousands of units and lures the undead corps that are engaged in a large-scale occupation battle and locks them in one place.

After that, it activates a magnetic barrier and sweeps it away.

As Hyunseong has a book of flames that eliminates the enemy's source, it wasn't an impossible mission if it went as planned.

But he had no guarantee that the plan would succeed.

He had to lure the undead corps, divided into dozens, into one place.

It couldn't be that easy.

Even if I lure you to one place and fall into a trap... … .

Unless the necromancer was an idiot, there was no way to leave the undead trapped in the trap.
