Level 1 Player

Chapter 180 Necromancer Shizra

'succeded.'

A bright smile appeared on Hyunseong's lips.

Partisia's proposed plan.

That was to hand over the undead giant to another enemy dimension.

'thank God.'

To be honest, there are only a few dimensions in which Hyunseong can open the dimension gate.

In particular, the dimension that did not require a lot of points was rare.

And among them, this was the only enemy level that was not a friendly level.

‘I’m glad it doesn’t cost a lot of points.’

The dimension in which Hyunseong can open the dimension gate is limited to the dimension he has been to directly or knows the coordinates of.

In which dimension does Hyunseong know the coordinates?

Virtually none

The only dimension he knew was the friendly dimension he went to when selling local area networks in the past.

In response, Hyunseong moved on to the level of Partisha.

After that, he crossed the dimension gate in the dimension of Partisha and went to the enemy dimension that was invading the dimension of Partisha, and checked the coordinates there.

Fortunately, he didn't need that many points to unlock the dimension gate.

Oh, of course, there was no point that could keep the dimension gate for a long time.

He only had enough points to open for a while.

‘I’m glad the undead giant responded properly.’

When the undead giant turned in front of his dimensional gate, he thought he would fail.

But suddenly, the undead giant changed his mind and actively pursued Hyunseong.

Thanks to that, he was able to cross over to the enemy dimension with the undead giant before he ran out of points to maintain the dimension gate.

'The problem is it's back.'

At first, I tried to return by riding the dimension gate connected to Partisha's dimension.

But he failed.

The safety barrier recognized Hyunseong as a powerful presence in the ally and denied access.

Perhaps it was because they were friendly, there was no risk of becoming a lost child like the enemy level player.

just bounced off

However, the plan to move to the Partisha dimension through the previously opened dimension gate was completely thwarted.

'My butt hurts. What's so tricky?'

The Partisha level safety barrier allowed Hyunseong, an ally, to move from the Partisha level to the enemy level.

But he did not allow him to come back.

‘The only way left is to collect points and open the dimension gate myself.’

The problem was that there were no points.

Now, Hyunseong has not only had a point to open the dimension gate, but also a point to keep her youthful right now.

‘He is stuck here until he has accumulated enough points to open a new dimension gate. It won't take that long though.'

Items posted by Hyunseong sold quickly, and the points supplied through the exchange's jewels were considerable.

So he didn't have to worry about being trapped in the enemy plane forever.

'The distance is also fairly wide.'

Currently, the most dangerous enemy for Hyunseong was the undead giant who crossed the dimensional gate together.

‘If he crosses the dimensional gate again, it could be a problem, but the probability of that is not very high.’

Unlike Earth's safety barrier, the safety barrier of the Partisha dimension was still strong.

Even his ally, Hyunseong, was not allowed to approach him.

The safety barrier only recognizes natives of this dimension as their full power.

In addition, Hyunseong is the master, not the subject of Partisha.

Therefore, Hyunseong's power and power were not recognized as the power of the Partisha dimension.

As a result, the safety barrier at the level of Partisia was quite strong.

To the extent that enemy invaders could only invade on a single-digit scale.

As long as the safety barrier is strong, the undead giant will not cross the dimension gate and cross the dimension of Partisha.

'Let's hold on for a while. All you have to do is collect points and return safely.’

It was a bit disappointing that they released an existence outside of that standard.

However, this place that invaded the Partisha dimension was also Hyunseong's enemy.

Another undead giant was also Hyunseong's enemy.‘Let’s think about it now.’

Hyunseong watched the undead giant from afar while using his stealth skill.

- Whoa!

The undead giant destroyed the surrounding creatures according to their instincts.

First of all, the animals and plants of the forest lost their vitality, and the monsters became the victims of the undead giant.

‘It’s a player.’

Then a player of this dimension appeared.

‘It’s a half-human half-dragon.’

Hyunseong once defeated the half-human and half-dragons that invaded the Partisha dimension.

They also seemed to be the same species as the half-human, half-dragon that Hyunseong defeated at that time.

‘Is this dimension being ruled by half-human, half-dragons?’

The appearance was slightly different.

But half-human, half-dragon was the same.

- Big woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!

The undead giant who discovered the half-human, half-dragon attacked immediately.

The half-human half-dragons did not attack the undead giant.

I just observed it from a distance and took off the tail as it is.

‘Did you run away?’

Hyunseong was frankly surprised.

The speed of the undead giant is so excellent that it is difficult to avoid it easily without the king and overlords.

However, the half-human, half-dragons, even if they were quite far apart, easily escaped the undead giant's pursuit.

‘The average level is quite high.’

Maybe the place where Hyunseong opened the dimensional gate and arrived at is where high-level players from this dimension live.

‘It’s a pity I can’t figure out the level because it’s far away.’

What if you used a creative-grade active detection skill?

He would have known the approximate level of the half-human half-dragons.

However, if you do that, the stealth skill will be canceled.

Hyunseong fell to the enemy line alone.

He had no intention of risking anything for nothing.

Time continued to pass.

Hyunseong watched the action of the undead giant from a distance.

‘It’s pretty organic.’

The half-human half-dragons attracted the attention of the undead giant.

He threw even monsters as prey in the middle and tied the undead giants well in one place.

To prevent the undead giant from heading to their city.

‘It doesn’t mean that there is a solution like that.’

The moment when you are not satisfied with the monsters thrown by the undead giant.

The city of half-human, half-dragons had no choice but to take a huge hit.

‘Not much left now.’

The points that could open the dimension gate gradually gathered.

‘It’s impossible to go to Earth or go to the invader dimension, but it’s possible to move to the nearest Partisha dimension.’

What if we move to the Partisha dimension?

There was no need to hide while using stealth skills like now.

'uh?'

At that moment, a huge flow of magical power was felt in the distance.

'what?'

This was different.

With Hyunseong's ability, it was difficult to even measure the limits of his horsepower properly.

Even the undead giant could not emit such powerful magic.

- Kwakwakwakwakwaquaquawk!

A streak of flames flew from afar.

Whoops!

And it accurately hit the body of the undead giant.

'Unbelievable?'Hyunseong couldn't believe what he had seen with his own two eyes.

‘How in one room?’

An undead giant with transcendent power... … .

A non-standard existence that Hyunseong couldn't possibly do... … .

It was completely shattered in a single shot of a stream of flame that flew in from afar.

Whoops!

The flames burned the undead that made up the body of the undead giant.

No, its existence itself was completely annihilated.

Puss!

The undead that made up the body of the undead giant collapsed.

At the same time, the undead giants, who had united as one and exerted great power, returned to their original undead swarm.

“Kill!”

“Destroy it!”

The moment when the undead giant was downgraded to the undead corps.

Tens of thousands of half-human, half-dragons attacked the undead corps.

The undead corps was smashed in vain.

No matter how much the undead giant was downgraded to the undead legion, among its members were the kings and lords of the invader dimension.

However, they collapsed in vain due to the joint efforts of the half-human and half-dragons.

‘Extremely strong.’

Hyunseong felt that it was the case of a dimension.

‘Not all enemy units had the same level of force.’

What kind of force was the enemy's level that was invading Earth?

stronger than Earth.

However, Hyunseong has grown steadily to the point of swallowing it up on the contrary.

However, this was not the case here.

‘I was lucky.’

What if this was the dimension where Hyunseong first prepared for the counter-invasion?

There was a high probability that Hyunseong had become an immortal guest.

In particular, what is the level of a person with enormous magical powers who smashed an undead giant with one hit?

Even at Hyunseong's level, it was difficult to even predict.

'I'm glad I only shot one attack from afar.'

What if you came closer and dabble with the undead giant?

What if you went out on your own without leaving the post-processing to your subordinates?

Hyunseong's existence could have been discovered.

‘Let’s avoid ourselves for now.’

I had to go to a safe place, collect points, and leave for the Partisha dimension.

What if I had to face the one who smashed the undead giant in one blow?

Hyunseong was 100% dead.

'uh?'

An undead came into the eyes of Hyunseong, who was carefully avoiding her body.

‘That one?’

It was certain.

A being that became the mother of tens of thousands of undead.

necromancer.

She was desperately escaping as she threw her undead under her as the prey of the half-human half-dragons.

‘I can’t leave that alone.’

However, she couldn't do a job here.

If it did, even Hyunseong was in danger.

Hyunseong quietly followed the necromancer.

The necromancer was desperate.

Was it because of that?

The necromancer was able to avoid the half-human, half-dragon's pursuit and barely escape.

However, as a result, the body was completely destroyed.

Fight!The necromancer's body, which was in the shape of a human at least, crumbled with every movement.

Magic was crawling on the floor.

dump!

The necromancer sat down on the floor.

Aaaaaaah!

Then, it absorbed the vitality of the living beings around it to supplement its magical power.

“Until there.”

Then, Hyunseong unlocked the stealth skill and appeared in front of the necromancer.

"You?"

The necromancer looked at Hyunseong in shock.

“If you are weak enough, there is a possibility that you will cross the dimensional gate. I definitely can't keep him alive."

Hyunseong stared at the necromancer and drew a dragon blood sword.

The necromancer has weakened.

It was enough to pass through the dimension gate that could lead to the Partisha dimension.

To be honest, I had no intention of stopping the necromancer if he wanted to open up the truth in this dimension.

‘Well, if you tell the truth, you will soon be subdued.’

What Hyunseong is more worried about is that the necromancer passes through the dimension gate to the dimension of Partisha.

What if he gains strength in the dimension of Partisha and starts running rampant again?

That was a huge problem.

"for a moment! Hear my story! I have to... … .”

Scratch!

Before the necromancer could finish speaking, the dragon blood sword in Hyunseong's hand was swung.

The necromancer's head was separated from the body.

“Where in the world is there anyone without a story?”

If you take care of all these circumstances, you will not be able to protect Hyunseong's precious people against your enemies.

Whoops!

A book of flames rose from Hyunseong's hand.

And the necromancer's body was burned cleanly.

"uh?"

That was then.

A strange object caught Hyunseong's eyes.

'What is this?'

The necromancer's body became a handful of ashes.

But in the midst of the ashes, something was emitting a strange light against the Book of Flames.

Hyunseong eliminated the flames.

And he picked up an object that gave off a strange glow.

'item?'

Undead leaves no items.

It had to be the same for the necromancer.

But something remains.

'what's this?'

If it was an item, information had to float.

But no information came to mind.

I just feel the soul of the dead.

It was as if the necromancer's soul was sleeping within it.

* * *

“Oh, I wasted my time on nothing.”

Just before.

He was the one who killed the undead giant whom his subordinates had been whining about with one shot of the flame breath.

The half-human, half-dragon with red scales frowned and murmured.

“Were you doing well?”

The half-human, half-dragon with red scales asked the half-human, half-dragon with golden scales.

“Yes, my lord.”

The half-human half-dragon with the golden scales, who was playing the game while controlling the character on two computers simultaneously using two mice and keyboards with amazing multitasking, quickly answered the question of the half-human half-dragon with the red scales.

“Um, yes. Good work. Get out of the way.”

At the horse of the half-human, half-dragon with red scales, the half-human, half-dragon with golden scales handed over one of the two computers he was using.

“I need to level up quickly and smash those black lions.”

A half-human, half-dragon with red scales gripped the mouse while grinding its teeth.

“Everyone, do your best on the hunt! Level up and in the next battle, you must smash the Black Lions! Do you understand!”

At the cry of the half-human, half-dragon with red scales... … .

"Yes! all right!"

The various half-human, half-dragons who were absorbed in the game in a room with a structure like a PC room responded vigorously.

* * *

'What is this?'

Hyunseong looked at the marble that felt the soul of the dead with a questioning expression.

'no way?'

There are several types of undead.

Some individuals have high combat power, some have low combat power, and some maintain the intelligence they had while they were alive, while others do not.

‘The necromancer definitely had his own self.’

There was also a high level of intelligence.

Could it have been because of this marble?

Hyunseong picked up the marbles just in case.

‘It’s too dangerous to check here.’

Hyunseong first put the marbles in the subspace.

‘Let’s go back and check it out.’

It was enough to test the marbles after collecting points to return to Partisha's dimension.

'Finally, I got them all.'

Hyunseong confirmed the remaining points with an excited expression.

He didn't even hunt, just in case, and spent his time in a rare place where there were no people.

‘It’s been a long time since I’ve had a good rest.’

There were all kinds of food, smartphones, and laptops in the subspace, so I wasn't bored.

However, because of concerns about an out-of-standard existence that blew up the undead giant in one shot, his body was comfortable, but his mind was not.

What if he knew that an out-of-the-ordinary entity was obsessed with the game he was selling?

He would have rested comfortably.

However, Hyunseong, unaware of that fact, lived a secluded life with anxiety that an existence outside the standard might appear.

‘Now that’s all over.’

Hyunseong opened the dimensional gate to the Partisha dimension.

Shoo!

And passed through the dimensional gate.

* * *

'good!'

Hyunseong took a comfortable rest after soaking in warm water for the first time in a long time.

Partisha's dimension lacked everything compared to Earth.

But it felt like all the shortcomings were made up for by just being able to rest comfortably.

After taking a shower, Hyunseong, who slept well, took out a marble from the subspace.

‘Let’s reveal our identity.’

The marble only contained the soul of the dead, but showed no reaction.

He didn't even feel the magic at all.

‘First of all, magic.’

Hyunseong put his magic into his marbles.

He had injected quite a bit of mana, but there was no reaction.

Hyunseong continued to infuse his magic.

If you infuse magical energy on a normal object like this, it will be destroyed or let it flow without receiving the magic energy.

However, this orb has absorbed the mana that sent it.

‘Let’s see who wins.’

Hyunseong supplemented the magic by catching monsters directly, and injected the supplemented magic into the marbles.

As a result.

Aaaaaaah!

A black energy emanated from the beads.The black energy that came out slowly took shape.

'The Necromancer.'

Hyunseong's face brightened.

The black energy was reborn as an undead with the shape of a necromancer who died at the hands of Hyunseong.

‘He even had the means of resurrection.’

What if Hyunseong didn't retrieve his marbles?

The necromancer could have resurrected itself.

Of course, it must have been a lot of luck.

“What is this?”

The resurrected necromancer looked around with a puzzled expression.

Then, the moment he saw Hyunseong holding a marble, he was startled.

“We met again.”

At Hyunseong's greeting, the necromancer trembled.

Then, he gathered his magic and attacked Hyunseong.

Pugh!

Hyunseong accidentally blocked the necromancer's attack with the marble he was holding.

“Aaaaaah!”

The necromancer let out a painful scream and collapsed.

"what?"

Hyunseong made a puzzled expression.

‘How do the undead feel pain?’

The undead are already dead bodies.

So even if he wants to feel pain, he cannot feel it.

Hyunseong focused on the marble in his hand.

A string of magic was connected between the necromancer and the marble.

‘This is the body.’

The body of a necromancer who has been resurrected as an undead body is only a shell.

The real necromancer's body was this marble that contained the soul of the dead.

‘Then your body has attacked your soul.’

As to whether the soul felt pain, Hyunseong had no knowledge.

But this is how I feel.

“Yes, you... … .”

The necromancer stared at Hyunseong with an expression that he would die of unfairness.

Hyunseong gently gave strength to his hand that was holding his marble.

Wow!

The beads were twisted and there was a small crack.

“Aaaaah!”

At that moment, the necromancer fell to the floor again and let out a painful scream.

"Ohh."

A bright smile formed on Hyunseong's lips.

“I got something good.”

A necromancer who demonstrated a powerful force that would not be surprising even if it was called a one-man corps.

The necromancer's lifeline fell into Hyunseong's grasp.

“Wow! Why did you resurrect me! If it was meant to mock you, then destroy me immediately!”

“No, I didn’t mean to mock you. It's just a quick test, so don't be mad."

At Hyunseong's words, the necromancer's face was stained with shame.

But there was nothing the necromancer could do.

Suicide?

Hyunseong has the Necromancer's Life Force Vessel.

In other words, even if the necromancer destroys the current undead body, Hyunseong can arbitrarily resurrect it.

‘Does this mean that I have to live with ridicule for the rest of my life?’

It was better to die than to live like that.

Aaaaaaah!

The necromancer raised all of her magical powers.There is only one purpose.

It was to destroy his Life Force Vessel in Hyunseong's hands.

"Well?"

But the moment Hyunseong gives strength to the marbles in his hands.

“Aaaaaah!”

An unbearable pain swept over me.

If it was a physical pain, I could force myself to endure it.

But it was a pain in the soul.

Everything was meaningless in the face of the pain of breaking souls.

The mind is broken, the will is shattered, and the magic power is scattered.

dump!

Eventually, the necromancer sat down on the floor again.

“I think it would be better not to rebel in any way?”

At Hyunseong's words, the necromancer was at a loss for words.

Through death, he was freed from the control of the monarch.

However, even in the state of being undead, it came under the control of the monarch.

“Kill it.”

With those words, the necromancer slumped into his seat and closed her eyes tightly.

Hyunseong shook his head at the sight of a necromancer who looked like a death row inmate waiting to be executed.

“Even if you kill when you kill, you want to know why you did that?”

“I think you blew my throat without listening to me before?”

The necromancer asked in a sharp voice.

“Well, the situation was different back then.”

The situation was different for an enemy that would be a great threat if missed and an enemy that could be completely controlled.

“Are you thinking of talking to me?”

The necromancer, who hesitated for a moment at Hyunseong's question, nodded his head.

Then he told his story.

The content was simple.

He awakened as a player and came under the control of the monarch.

But the monarch was garbage.

He suffered unimaginable hardships under the monarch.

At the command of his monarch, he killed innocent people against his will.

Among those innocent were the necromancer's precious ones.

Feeling his own mind being polluted, he chose the path of becoming an undead.

After that, he took revenge on the monarch and founded the Kingdom of Shizra.

And he waged wars to save those in the same situation as himself.

‘I was unlucky.’

I did agree to some extent.

But he couldn't shake the feeling that the necromancer's mind had been twisted somewhere.

“I just did not withdraw my allegiance.”

“His mind was so tainted that he could not even think like that. As if he had become a puppet at the command of a monarch.”

“If you had the will to commit suicide, would it have been possible to withdraw your oath of allegiance?”

“… … .”

At Hyunseong's question, the necromancer didn't say anything.

“Well, okay. After all, you've become an undead yourself, avenged yourself, and waged a war for the freedom of players oppressed by a monarch like you?"

"Yes."

"Well."

Hyunseong let out a sigh.

The relationship between a ruler and a subject is absolute.

But surprisingly, there were quite a few weak links.

'It's a big counter-effect from being entangled with this dimension's singularity.'

A society with an extreme class system.

A society where ordinary people who are treated like slaves take it for granted.

‘Well, if a cataclysmic cataclysm occurred in the Goryeo Dynasty or the Joseon Dynasty on Earth, the situation would have been very different from what it is now.’There are some parts that I agree with Shizura's thoughts to some extent.

But she couldn't fully empathize.

Because Hyunseong was also a monarch player.

Crucially... … .

‘All power is like that.’

power, power, wealth.

All three have the power to change a person's life and twist their minds.

Depending on who holds the power, the result will be different.

In the case of Hyunseong, it could not be said that there was no one who used the power of the monarch to rule by force.

A representative figure was the horse dung of Emperor Shi Huang of China.

However, the other players under Hyunseong led a fairly liberal life.

Hyunseong did not force his players to do anything against his will.

‘If I had met the monarch in a good world, things would have been different… … .'

In a world with an absolute class system, he met a scumbag monarch and lost his mind.

However, just because there is a good reason does not mean that all the sins committed by the necromancer will disappear.

How many players and ordinary people died in the war she started without knowing it?

‘Well, it’s not something I’m going to do because I started the unification war.’

Hyunseong, like Shizura, also waged war for his own sake.

The difference between Hyunseong and Shizura was that they were winners, not losers.

“Give me a chance.”

"what?"

“I will give you the authority to rule the continent according to your will and thoughts within the limits I have set.”

“What is that?”

The necromancer made a confused expression.

He thought he was going to use the Life Force Vessel to force himself or kill him.

But will you give me the power to rule the continent?

“Actually, there is no such thing as an utopia in the world.”

Will there be a peaceful world if all the players with the lord job disappear?

It was absolutely not.

When the occupation of the monarch who was the ruler of this dimension disappears, only a new ruler will appear.

That's the way the world is originally.

Korea is a world where equal status and opportunities are guaranteed.

But is it really?

The rulers of the Joseon Dynasty, the king and the yangban, disappeared.

However, in modern Korean society, there are powerful people with different names.

identity has disappeared.

However, the invisible identity of the golden spoon, the silver spoon, and the earth spoon remains.

‘Anyway, as long as the human species exists, it is a problem that cannot be escaped forever.’

It's just moving in a better direction.

Previously, a slave was blocked by a wall of status and could not advance to the post office.

He couldn't even learn to write, let alone a post, and once a slave, he had to live as a permanent slave.

A king could only become a member of the royal family, and the career path was reserved only for the nobles.

But what about now?

Once given a fair chance, anyone can become president, parliamentarian or entrepreneur.

Of course, this is only in theory.

It wasn't perfect.

Invisible social barriers and discrimination still exist.

However… … .

‘It will get better.’

There is no such thing as an ideal

However, there are humans who constantly strive to get closer to that utopia.

‘Well, the direction of the utopia that each individual thinks is different.’

That was a problem that people who created an utopia had to solve.

The only thing Hyunseong can do is… … .

It is only to give a fair chance to the human race of this dimension, which is now under its control.
