Level 1 Player

Chapter 182 Once a Hogu, forever a Hogu

“Hey, that’s… … .”

Gaktoubk clouded his tail and glared at Hyunseong with ferocious eyes.

It was only now that he realized that Hyunseong, who seemed to be docilely cooperating, had trapped him.

“Why are you staring at Hyunseong?”

"no!"

To Jenna's question, Gaktoubuk responded as if a new recruit had just moved in.

“I saw with these two eyes, didn’t I? Do you think my eyes look rotten?”

"no!"

“Who wants to hear that?”

"sorry! I will fix it!”

Jenna chased Gakgtubuk like a sergeant of the last years, and Gakktubuk replied like a foolish recruit.

But while he was answering, Gaktu Buk's head was spinning violently.

‘That woman is by no means a level 1 player in this dimension. She says then she's a level 1 player from another dimension, why is she doing this here?'

Each tubk scrambles his head hard to solve his own question... … .

He finally found the answer.

‘You are the one who has taken off the bridle.’

The unbridled ones can visit the dimension of the unbridled, with or without a safety barrier.

But it has no effect on that dimension.

Gaktubuk is a level 1 player who has been living for quite a while.

So he had quite a bit of information about the restrictions on the unbridled.

‘Come to think of it, I don’t have to be scared, right?’

Those who have taken off their bridles cannot use their power recklessly.

That meant you couldn't harm yourself.

‘I was scared for nothing.’

Gaktoubuk's face, which had been terrified, became more confident.

“If you don’t want to die, don’t be greedy for my own company and go well.”

Jenna said while recovering her tangible magical power.

At that time, Gaktoubuk squeezed the remaining courage as much as possible and forcibly opened his mouth.

“Hey, aren’t you being too harsh?”

She originally intended to say, 'Oh, isn't that too harsh?'

"what?"

Jenna's expression contorted like a demon.

At the same time, the tangible magical energy recovered from Jenna's body was released again.

And she quickly began to change into the form of an attack skill.

gulp!

Gaktubuk swallowed dry saliva and tried to calm his trembling body like an aspen tree.

‘Come on, don’t be afraid. It's just a simple threat. You can't really do harm to me.'

Gaktu Buk struggled to capture his heart and opened his mouth again.

“What did I do wrong to persecute you like this? And you and I aren't level 1 players of this dimension anyway, are we? Then, since we are in the same situation, wouldn't it be better if we made small concessions to each other?"

"what? that one?”

Jenna's eyes were half-opened.

Shushshushshook!At the same time, tangible magical powers stretched out and wrapped around Gaktubuk's body.

“Gagging!”

Gaktubuk could not even resist properly and was quickly suppressed.

Attack skills with all kinds of attributes slowly approached the suppressed Gaktubuk.

“Hey, this is difficult. Are you not unbridled? I am not yet out of the bridle. Are you attacking me like that? Aren't you afraid of discipline?"

A mad smile appeared on Jenna's lips at Gaktubuk's shout.

“Oh, you mean you believed in that fact and talked like this in front of me? But what about it? Don't you think the discipline you believe in can protect you even in this situation?"

At Jenna's words, Gactubuk's face turned pale.

“What do you mean?”

“If this had happened to me when I visited your dimension, it could have been what you said. But not here. This isn't mine, it's not yours."

"Yes?"

“The reason discipline exists is to prevent those who are out of the bridle from jumping into a friendly dimension that hasn’t taken off their bridle and causing riots. The purpose is to protect the chicks of that dimension.”

That was a fact that Gaktoubk knew too.

It feels bad to be treated like a chick.

However, it was an undeniable fact that Gaktubk was weak compared to those who took off their bridles.

Each tubk had long ago met an unbridled man like Jenna, and then he benefited greatly from discipline.

So, of course, he thought that the same rule would apply here as well.

However… … .

There was something strange going on in the atmosphere.

“What’s important here is that discipline only protects ‘chicks’ from a dimension that the unbridled ones have crossed.”

Each tubk who heard Jenna gave his spine a chill.

At the same time, a new assumption popped up in her mind.

"no way?"

“You are not of this dimension. a stranger like me Simply put, you are not subject to the rules.”

Gactubuk's face turned pale.

“Hey, I’m a chick too!”

Gaktubuk exclaimed as if exasperated.

It wasn't the time to be arrogant or anything.

He had to prove that he was a chick in order to survive.

“Because that only applies when you are in your dimension. You are a chick from your dimension, not a chick from this dimension.”

“Yeah, it can’t be!”

“Didn’t you just quietly go sightseeing and go back?”

“I'll be back right now! Save me!”

“It’s already too late!”

As Jenna smiled madly, she swung her skills that were waiting around Gaktu Buk.

Puff puff pop!

All kinds of skills were locked in Gaktoubuk's body along with a small binge.

“ね!”

A scream erupted from Gaktubuk's mouth.

However, there were no noticeable injuries as Gaktoubk was well prepared.

By pouring out all of her magical power, Jenna's attack skills were blocked.

“Uh-huh, stop it?”

But, seeing that, Jenna's eyes completely turned around.“Today you will die and I will die.”

Jenna reached out and picked up her spare keyboard.

Whoops!

Then she swung her spare keyboard and slammed Gaktu Buk in the head.

The keyboard in Jenna's hand was quite expensive, but it was just an ordinary gaming keyboard.

However, when Xena's magic was injected, she became able to possess attack power and durability comparable to creation-grade weapons.

“Where is the blue-eyed bastard so cocky!”

Whoops! Whoops!

“Are you presumptuously coveting mine?”

Jenna's eyes rolled around and frantically swung her keyboard and slapped Gagtu Buk.

Gaktoubk's molgol was instantly turned into a blast.

‘This is so helpful.’

Hyunseong let out her sigh of relief in her mind as she watched Jenna beating her bridle.

‘Actually, I didn’t think it was going to be like this.’

Jenna was the largest shareholder of the company, which currently owns Rex Or X Red.

Originally, Hyunseong was the largest shareholder, which she handed over to Jenna.

The reason was simple.

She was Jenna's for a quick patch of her favorite stagnant character.

Jenna was very interested in earth culture.

Among them, the game that she fell deeply into was the game, and especially in the case of Lee X Oh X Le X De, she worked hard enough to set up an amateur team with her own money and aim for her professional challenge.

The problem is that the game is patched to balance her character.

In particular, in the case of the character of the deceased, it was difficult to resurrect it if it was not popular enough.

Then, Jenna called and cleaned up Hyunseong, and Hyunseong transferred the stock of the company that owned Lee X Oh X Red to Jenna.

After that, her company executives dealt directly with Jenna.

The result was quite a win-win.

Jenna also didn't want an excessive upgrade that would ruin the fun of the game.

She just wanted her to have a quick revival of dead characters and faster new character releases.

In addition, Jena even provided development cost support in the name of investment, so she had no choice but to like it from the company's point of view.

At the time she was just a choice to avoid her annoyance.

But I didn't know that that choice would save Hyunseong.

'If it was a erratic business, there would be no way I could do it like this.'

It was fortunate that Gaktubek coveted ReXOXRed.

‘Thanks, I got a lot of information.’

She actually did bring her Gaktu Buk, but she never imagined things would turn out so well.

I can't imagine Jenna's embarrassment, so she brought her... … .

She didn't know there was such a loophole in the discipline.

'From now on, if only Jena-nim is there, I will be able to keep the level 1 players in check.'

If possible, I thought that it would be beneficial to share the shares of other companies with Jenna.

‘By the way, everyone is dying.’

Gaktubuk, being beaten with a keyboard by Jenna, was almost out of breath.

‘You can’t lose a VVIP customer.’

Hyunseong opened his mouth after checking the time.

“It’s me, Jenna.”"Why?"

Jenna asked, looking at Hyunseong with mad eyes.

“You better stop now.”

At Hyunseong's words, Gaktoubuk, who was dying, trembled and raised his eyelids with difficulty.

Then he pleaded with Hyunseong with earnest eyes.

please let me live

“You want me to stop now? why me?"

“The rest of the team members are coming to an end. The team members will be back in a little while, so why not show us this?”

Reason returned to Jena's eyes, who were engulfed in madness at Hyunseong's words.

“Hmm, that’s right.”

“Can’t you do it after threshing? Looking at the schedule, it looks like a practice match with a professional team is scheduled.”

“Yeah, I can't break my promise to the pro team. What a difficult practice match. You, be careful next time.”

Gaktu Buk nodded her head madly at Jenna's words.

“You go out with me.”

Hyunseong grabbed Gaktoubk's hand and made him stand up.

At the same time, he cast a recovery-type skill.

Wrath!

Gaktubuk's body was engulfed in bright light, and the wounds healed quickly.

If there was a downside, it was that the recovery was only a trauma to the last.

Hyunseong doesn't have a good match between recovery-type attribute skills and magical power. So, it was impossible to recover the inner wound.

‘Well, is that impossible anyway?’

Gaktubuk's condition was extremely serious.

Jenna's magical energy that covered her keyboard permeated into the bones of Buk Gaktu.

To be honest, even with dozens of high-level healers, it seemed impossible to recover in a short period of time.

Hyunseong got out of the game room with the gaktoubk.

“Oh, thank you.”

Gaktoubk thanked Hyunseong.

It was sincere, not pretense.

What if Hyunseong didn't dry it in the middle?

Gaktoubk was probably killed by a keyboard blow in the game room.

“Tttttttttt, why did you enhance Jenna-sama’s temper like that?”

“It was my fault for believing in the rules.”

“Even if there are rules, you must not touch Jenna-sama. If you turn around in anger, you are a person who disregards discipline.”

"what?"

“Jenna-sama is someone who has broken the rules before and has been sealed off for riots. If it had been tapped properly, maybe he would have gone to the dimension of Gaktubuk and had his wrath.”

Each tubek he heard Hyunseong said chilled his spine.

‘Actually, those eyes weren’t normal.’

When I recalled Jenna's eyes filled with madness, her body trembled again.

“By the way, what are you going to do now?”

“I will be back.”

To Hyunseong's question, Gaktoubk answered at once as if there was no need to think.

Earth was no longer the dimension of dreams and fantasies for Gaktubk.

It was a dangerous dimension inhabited by an evil witch who could end her own breath at any time.

“Aren’t you going to be sorry to die like this? I will give you a small present.”

"what?"

Hearing Hyunseong's words, Gaktoubk's expression changed in a strange way.

In fact, it was really surprising that Hyunseong saved him.

What if I let you die there?

For Hyunseong, if it was a gain, there was nothing to lose.

However, Hyunseong took the risk and spared himself from the evil witch.

“Actually, I like Gaktoubk. Are you literally my VVIP customer?”

“Well, it is… … .”

“You can't just let such a person go. Follow me.”

Hyunseong dragged the gaktoubuk and volunteered to serve as a guide again.

But the atmosphere had changed a lot.

A while ago, Hyunseong was dragged by Gaktoubk's eyes.

But now, Gaktoubk was being dragged by Hyunseong's eyes.

“How are you?”

“Okay, a lot of fun.”

“There are a lot of international gaming events in three months. If you come then, I will treat you properly.”

“Do you want me to come here again?”

Gaktoubuk asked with a cold expression on his face.

When I first came to Earth, I thought I would stop by if I was bored like a restaurant.

But after meeting Jenna, I changed my mind 180 degrees.

He thought that he would not pee in the direction the Earth was, let alone come.

Gaktubuk was an absolute person who had nothing to fear in his own dimension.

Then, on Earth, he said something wrong, and he was struck to death.

Gaktubk didn't want to have that experience ever again.

“Hahaha, isn’t that just because Gaktubuk-sama stimulated Jenna-sama for nothing? As long as Gactubk doesn't covet Jenna-sama, it'll be fine."

Hyunseong gently soothed the gaktoubuk.

In the meantime, he diligently explained the international gaming events of the Earth.

“If you participate in person, you will change your mind. And I will give you the opportunity to be indirectly involved in game management.”

“Game operation?”

Gaktubuk, who had been clumsy, showed interest.

“Yes, you are not a VVIP customer? We will actively reflect Gaktoubk’s opinion into the game.”

Hyunseong flirted with each other by promising various interests.

‘Why the hell is this kid doing this?’

Each tuber knew well what he was like to Hyunseong.

A troubled stranger.

An enemy who can take away one's own interests.

However, he has offered to hand over the rights to him first.

‘What is the purpose?’

It was the way he saved himself in the first place, and that was the way he was kind, and there were not one or two suspicious things.

“What is your purpose to seduce me?”

“Is that the purpose? There is no such thing. I just hope that I will become closer to Gaktubuk-sama.”

Gaktoubk looked at Hyunseong with a questionable expression.

However, there was no way that Gaktoubk could know Hyunseong's inner feelings.“It’s really pure goodwill.”

Hyunseong smiled and told me about things that Gaktoubk might be interested in.

A week passed like that.

In the meantime, Gaktubk has been immersed in the earth's civilization.

“The company that developed ReXG is now mine?”

Hyunseong transferred some of the shares owned by Lee X-G to Gaktoubk.

“It’s part of it, not 100%, but it’s okay to think so.”

At Hyunseong's words, Gaktoubk's mouth widened open.

“This is my little castle.”

“Thank you, thank you.”

“I will inform you about the future patch direction in advance.”

“Are you sure you will?”

"Sure."

“Thank you, thank you so much.”

“If you want to come to Earth, come anytime. I will take responsibility and make you tour the earth.”

Gaktoubk's eyes, which had been wary of Hyunseong's kindness that had continued for over a week, changed to watery.

‘I don’t know what the intention is, but since I’m giving it, I have to get it first.’

There are no restrictions from the standpoint of Gaktoubk, and if you would have benefited from receiving what Hyunseong gave you, there was no loss.

“Okay, then I’ll just go and see.”

“We will contact you often.”

Hyunseong said, waving his smartphone, and each tuber nodded his head with a bewildered expression, opened the dimension gate and returned to his dimension.

'great.'

A satisfied smile appeared on Hyunseong's lips.

At first, I was very wary of Hyunseong's favor.

However, as time passed, it loosened up and now he has accepted Hyunseong's favor without much doubt.

Perhaps he thinks he has nothing to lose.

But nothing is free in this world.

Why did Hyunseong save Gaktoubk, who was almost killed by Jenna?

Of course, there was a place to use it.

‘If you use discipline, you can fully control allied level 1 players through Zena-sama.’

He would have to hand over more Earth's goods to Jenna for him, but he could afford it.

Because what was important to Hyunseong was the point, not the goods of the earth.

But the problem was the enemy level 1 players.

They are governed by convention, not discipline.

‘If the enemy level 1 players attack, you can’t get help from Jenna-sama.’

As an outcast of hers, Jenna is a huge help when dealing with friendly level 1 players, but she doesn't do anything against enemy level 1 players.

'If it helps, that's the problem.'

What if Jenna comes forward and destroys the enemy level 1 players who have invaded Earth?

An all-out war may take place between the friendly level and the enemy level.

That was never the direction Hyunseong wanted.

‘You have to gather as many controllable allies as Gaktoubuk as possible.’

There is only one reason why Hyunseong saved Gaktoubk's life and treated him with great hospitality.

When the earth was in crisis, it was to pamper the gaktubuk.‘It is said that Jenna-sama was unilaterally attacked, but Gaktoubk is definitely a strong force.’

Gaktoubk's strength was higher than that of Hyunseong.

What if you could control such a strong person by handing over some stock of a game company?

It was enough business.

‘It is not a loss from the standpoint of Gaktoubk.’

Thanks to Hyunseong, you can receive game patch information in advance and enjoy games that have not yet been released to the friendly dimension server.

‘It’s not like Gaktoubk can sell Earth products.’

Hyunseong was going to give him things of no great value as a gift, and in return for it, he was going to use Gaktoubuk as a mercenary.

‘Gaktoubk is possessive.’

Due to the nature of Gaktoubk, he will not stand still and watch his company on Earth collapse.

‘Let’s go forward one by one.’

Hyunseong was planning to lure allied level 1 players from other dimensions to Earth and treat them as free mercenaries.

Of course, Gaktubk or allied Level 1 players may give up their goods on Earth.

But then, if you put the right pressure on it, that's it.

‘Let’s see if you can live without playing games.’

All servers for cultural goods, including games that are being serviced to both the friendly level and the enemy level through the Jewel of Exchange, are located on Earth.

What if Earth is occupied?

Allied level 1 players, including Gaktubuk, could no longer enjoy games and other cultural goods of the earth.

‘You can take a little action in moderation.’

When allied level 1 players, including Gaktubek, hesitate, the game server is down, or something like that.

They take the cultural goods of the earth, including games, as hostages and pamper friendly level 1 players for free.

This was the plan that Hyunseong came up with after looking at Gaktube.

'It seems a bit rude, but... … .'

I couldn't help it.

Because the most important thing for Hyunseong was the safety of the earth.

* * *

Gaktubk has continued to visit Earth since then.

In particular, he expressed great satisfaction at international game events such as GG Star.

He also set up a game development company on Earth.

Do you want to make a game that fits your taste or something?

‘Well, nothing bad.’

From Hyunseong's point of view, it was a thank you.

This is because the more Gaktubk puts his affection on the earth, the more sensitive it will be to the crisis of the earth.

In addition, Hyunseong actively engaged in the hiring of mercenaries and made friends with allied level 1 players.

Naturally, those who could afford to open the dimensional gate visited Earth.

After that, he went through an interview with Jenna and became a gentle sheep, and was treated like Gaktu Buk.

‘You don’t have to worry about the safety of the planet.’

If it wasn't the level of enemies I saw in the dimension of the half-human, half-dragon, enough power was gathered.

Besides, Hyunseong wasn't the only one playing.

He went back and forth between Earth and the enemy plane occupied by Hyunseong, and he went on a hunt.

The necromancer Shizra managed her own dimension well.

There were several problems, but Hyunseong was able to solve it on his own at the necromancer Shizura Sun without having to go out.

Also, necromancer Shizura was recovering the lost power much faster than expected.Of course, it was because of Hyunseong's help.

Hyunseong constantly received magical energy from players under each other's immortals.

What if we inject the supplied magic into the Life Force Vessel?

He was able to deliver magic power to necromancer Shizura so easily.

‘The Earth is safe.’

It was thanks to the strength developed by Hyunseong and the cooperation of Hogu.

'The blackbird has grown all over.'

The only non-player monster among Hyunseong's subordinates, Blackie became a full-fledged adult.

Blackbird was a monster, Leviathan, but he was also Hyunseong's subordinate.

Thanks to that, Hyunseong was able to apply the overlord's blessing.

Didn't you even take the elixir?

As a result, the blackbird continued to grow and grow at a tremendous rate.

‘Earth’s oceans are black.’

Blackbird became a transcendent-class Leviathan and became the sea lord who completely ruled Earth's oceans.

‘Do you want to grow further?’

Even Hyunseong didn't know what the Leviathan's growth limit was.

‘It would be nice to have a creative level.’

Transcendence level monsters are top predators.

However, from Hyunseong's point of view, it was difficult to be of great help in battle.

That's why I wanted it to be a creation-grade monster if possible.

‘I did everything I could.’

All that was left now was to fight as best as we could against the enemy players who were coming to invade Earth.

Of course, I also wanted to come as late as possible.

Because by earning as much time as possible, Hyunseong and his subordinates can get stronger and more reliable mercenaries.

“Lord.”

Lucia came to see Hyunseong while he was thinking about various things.

“I have a favor to ask you.”

“What? Say anything.”

Hyunseong asked with a smile.

Lucia is Hyunseong's first servant and the benefactor who allowed him to get a job as a monarch.

To that extent, I thought that I would unconditionally grant Lucia's request.

“I just became a semi-mythical mercenary.”

Hyunseong's expression hardened upon hearing Lucia's words.

“What do you mean?”

“Yes, I have the Dimensional Gate skill.”

“I am finally able to go home.”

Lucia's hometown, which had been forced to leave a long time ago.

A dimension that has no information on whether it has been occupied by enemy players or is still resisting.

“Please allow me to return home.”

At Lucia's words, Hyunseong nodded his head.

"Do by that way. But I have no intention of letting Lucia go alone.”

"However… … .”

“You promised before. I will help you get back Lucia's hometown."

Hyunseong had no intention of breaking the promise he had made to Lucia in the past.
