Level 1 Player

‘What are you doing?’

After consulting with Cairo, Guest contacted Hyunseong.

After a while, it was said that he would call Hyunseong through hiring mercenaries.

Well, maybe it just means we want to talk.

However, there was one condition that was different from usual.

‘You said that it would be better to raise the cost of hiring mercenaries to the maximum.’

Hyunseong had lowered the cost of hiring mercenaries to the lowest level ever.

The purpose is to visit as many dimensions as possible and find out the coordinates, because the higher the cost of hiring mercenaries, the lower the probability of being hired.

But now things were different.

‘I have nothing to lose.’

It was a situation where Guest said that he would hire him anyway.

In addition, if the cost of hiring mercenaries was increased, it would be beneficial to Hyunseong, but there was no harm.

-Employer Gespit has applied for the employment of mercenary Choi Hyunseong. Accept?

-[Yes No]

Hyunseong chose yes.

Wrath!

With a bright halo, Hyunseong left Earth and moved to the dimension of the guest.

“Come.”

Guest said, looking at Hyunseong with a drowsy expression.

“Yes, Gespit. But what are you doing?”

“It seems like the sales of exchange jewelry have drastically decreased these days. So I called.”

“Ah, that… … .”

Hyunseong briefly explained the reason why the exchange's jewelry sales declined.

But he was a bit odd.

The partnership between Guest and Hyunseong has been going on for quite some time.

Even if Hyunseong doesn't have to explain, Guest will know all the reasons why the sales of exchanges' jewelry have decreased.

“Well, I see. Then let's just go back."

"Yes."

Hyunseong returned to Earth after a brief explanation of about 5 minutes.

‘Why did you call me?’

For Hyunseong, I couldn't help but wonder.

But with a short consultation of only 5 minutes, he got some pretty salty points.

Hyunseong's point, which had been crawling on the floor, was restored to some extent by hiring a guest.

However, Gespit's recruitment of mercenaries did not end there.

He repeatedly texted Hyunseong and hired him from time to time.

After hiring, I asked Hyunseong about things that he could know without having to ask Hyunseong, such as ‘When is the new game coming out?

Hyunseong had a short conversation of about 5 minutes and was able to earn huge points by hiring mercenaries.

As this happened repeatedly, Hyunseong could also understand Guest's intentions.

‘You needed a justification to give me points.’

The guest is subject to rules and conventions.

So I can't help Hyunseong for no reason.But what if there is a good reason?

What if it's a fair deal with something to exchange for?

It was possible for the guest's point to move to Hyunseong.

'It seems like you're trying to give me back the points I used when I hired Guest as a mercenary on the pretext of work... … .'

There was no way to know why the guest was doing this.

Although Hyunseong and Guest had a business relationship, that is not an excuse to return points in this way.

Of course, it's not entirely out of the question.

‘Are you doing this to maintain the partnership?’

If Hyunseong loses control of the earth, naturally there will be problems with the partnership with Guest.

He was prepared to relocate servers serving both friendly and enemy forces in case of unforeseen circumstances.

However, compared to the time when Hyunseong completely ruled the earth, problems were bound to arise.

The supply of new electronic products and contents was also bound to cause problems.

‘It seems like it is.’

The strange thing was that he called Hyunseong so often that it felt like the guest was giving it a bit too much.

'Well, you'll find out if you watch it.'

For now, it is highly likely that Guest is trying to give back the points Hyunseong used when hiring him.

But what if this behavior continues after that?

It had nothing to do with the intention of actively pushing Hyunseong.

‘It’s a good thing.’

What if a strong person like Guest becomes Hyunseong's back?

I couldn't borrow the power officially, but I was able to get help in one way or another informally.

‘When Gespit decides to help, let’s pull out as much mulberry as possible.’

Hyunseong wasn't the type of person who said that someone offered to help, but he refused.

He was rather an active helper.

* * *

With the help of Gespit, Hyunseong smoothly recovered points.

In the meantime, Hyunseong toured the dimensions he occupied and concentrated on hunting.

The only way Hyunseong could increase his stats was through achievements and books of gluttony.

Fortunately, there were various monsters in the dimension occupied, thanks to which he was able to continuously increase his stats by using achievements and books of gluttony.

And then again, by the time he had collected enough points to hire Gespit.

Hyunseong resumed the dimensional war that had been delayed for a while.

As his sense of purpose grew stronger, he became more active in dimensional warfare.

It was the first visit to the friendly dimension through the dimensional coordinates that Lucia and Partisha knew.

If a friendly level 1 player is still alive and the dimension is running well, then leave it alone.

But what if it's been occupied by or at risk of being captured by enemy players?

He stepped forward more aggressively to attack the enemy level and protect the friendly level.

Thanks to that, Hyunseong's achievements grew rapidly.

He also didn't reject him unconditionally just because he was a level 1 player of the enemy dimension.

He tried to enlist if he could enlist as an ally like Cairo.

As a result, the number of level 1 players under Hyunseong increased as much as the increasing dimension.

Well, if there was one drawback, it was that the skills of the level 1 players assigned to him were not that high.

‘It would be nice if it was at the level of Lucia.’

There weren't that many of them.In fact, it was normal.

If our level 1 players had high skills, there would be no need for Hyunseong's help.

Wow!

While Hyunseong was running the domination battle without problems, suddenly his smartphone rang.

‘It’s a text.’

Hyunseong checked the contents of the text.

The sender was Gaktubuk.

A powerful enemy has appeared. Request for assistance.

After checking the contents of the text, Hyunseong immediately opened the dimension gate and went to the dimension of Gaktoubk.

Aww! Aww!

As soon as we crossed over, a spectacular fireworks display unfolded.

‘He seems to be a pretty strong guy.’

Hyunseong frowned and wrapped his body around each other in the black lightning Shinma ball and flames.

“What else is that guy?”

The enemy player, who had a fierce battle with Gaktoubk, looked at Hyunseong with a bewildered expression.

However, the reinforcements did not end with Hyunseong.

Starting with Hyunseong, allied level 1 players crossed through the dimension gate one by one and joined the battlefield.

"profit!"

The enemy player has hired a mercenary.

I think he was a level 1 player.

Allied level 1 players including Hyunseong and the enemy level 1 players faced each other head-on.

Hyunseong fought with his best, using Yonginhwa skill and territory declaration skill.

'I'm not a normal guy.'

Enemies have a level higher than Gaktubuk.

But it wasn't as overwhelming as Orosen.

As the tense battle continued, the number of friendly players joining the battlefield gradually increased.

On the other hand, the enemy level 1 players were restless as to whether they could afford to hire additional mercenaries, and left the mercenaries alone and withdrew.

‘You can’t miss it.’

Hyunseong pursued the enemy level 1 player.

But the mercenaries blocked the way.

Fragile! Whoops!

Hyunseong swung a dragon blood sword covered in flames with a black dragon mage.

Aaaaaaaaah!

The two mercenaries who stood in the way were pushed back and bounced off.

But it quickly woke up like an octopus.

“Winning or losing has already been decided. If you don't want your neck to fly off because you're greedy for points, you'd better go back now."

At Hyunseong's words, the mercenaries looked around.

Hyunseong's words were not false.

Victory or defeat was completely decided.

Some of the quick-witted mercenaries canceled their employment and returned to their original dimensions, so the situation had turned sharply.

The two mercenaries who had been watching each other disappeared at the same time.

The mercenary employment was cancelled.percussion!

Hyunseong continued to pursue the enemy level 1 player.

“You leech!”

Whoops!

The enemy level 1 player fired powerful flames with abusive language and blocked Hyunseong's approach.

However, Hyunseong used one of the powers of the Book of Flames to send those flames back to the enemy level 1 player.

Aaaaaaaaah!

“Aaaaaah!”

An enemy level 1 player screamed and staggered his body.

Whoops!

Hyunseong didn't miss the gap and rushed in and stabbed the dragon blood sword into the heart of the enemy level 1 player.

“Gagging!”

Hyunseong infused magical powers with the Black Dragon Magician and the Book of Flames.

Fragile! Whoops!

The enemy level 1 player's body was engulfed in jet-black lightning and flames.

'finished.'

Even the mercenaries who resisted until the end were naturally canceled when their employer died and were recalled back to their original dimensions.

‘I made a huge profit.’

Hyunseong defeated the enemy level 1 player who attempted the direct invasion.

As a result, the servants of the enemy level 1 player came under Hyunseong's control.

In the process, the control of the dimension naturally passed to Hyunseong.

[Unbelievable Achievement – ​​Creation Rank]

-You have recaptured the friendly dimension that was occupied by the 57th enemy for the first time.

-Achievement Reward: Title [The first to recapture the friendly dimension occupied by the 57th enemy - Creation level]

[Unbelievable Achievement – ​​Rare Rating]

-You have won 79 dimensional wars for the first time.

-Achievement Reward: Title [Winner of the 79th Dimensional War for the first time – Rare Grade]

In addition to these two, he obtained quite a few achievements at once, such as the achievement of saving allies.

Among the volunteers who came to support Gaktoubk, Hyunseong was the only one who achieved more than the hard work.

The other reinforcements became dog chasing chickens when the mercenaries left their jobs and returned.

In fact, this is normal, and Gespit, who suppressed the mercenaries from even canceling their employment, was a special case.

"Thank you for coming."

Gaktoubk thanked Hyunseong and other level 1 players.

“When the player Choi Hyunseong first gave me an offer, I thought it would just be a hassle, but this is how he helps.”

A satisfied smile appeared on Hyunseong's lips at Gaktoubk's words.

Hyunseong was worried about the invasion of the earth by the enemy level 1 players, so he made friends with allied level 1 players and formed a reinforcement army.

But if something comes, there must be something going.

If Hyunseong asked for help when he needed it, it was less effective.

It was the alliance that Hyunseong devised to solve this problem.

When there is a problem in each dimension, they work together to help each other.

Level 1 players who received help pay the cost of opening the dimensional gate and effort to the players who came to support.

This was a win-win alliance for both Hyunseong and his allied level 1 players.

First, you can get an alliance to keep the main dimension safe.

The second time you went to support, you could easily increase your achievements and dominance dimensions if you were lucky.

'Grow this alliance.'

Now, they are at a level where they are arguing with each other.

But what if the scale gets bigger and we set rules and join forces?

It can be reborn as a kind of mutual defense treaty with coercive force beyond an alliance.

“I didn’t even think much of it at first, but seeing the examples of these two gives me peace of mind.”

At the words of the friendly level 1 player who came to support, the others opened their mouths one by one.

“That’s it. To be honest, I've had this happen before. At that time, I robbed the points and barely stopped it by hiring mercenaries. Still, I was nervous about what to do next time something like this happened, but after the alliance was formed, I put it down.”

“I have a friend I know, what if I included him in this alliance as well?”

“I am in favor. The more people there are, the better.”

Allied level 1 players gathered in one place bloomed a story.

Hyunseong also wanted to say something, but he resisted it.

‘It’s still too early.’

A mutual defense treaty with coercive force was likely to cause resistance among friendly level 1 players belonging to the alliance.

'One by one, one by one, gradually increasing.'

A mutual defense treaty with coercive force can be concluded simply as long as there is a contract of the soul.

Hyunseong decided to start with Gaktoubk.

He went through something similar to himself, so he was more likely to sympathize with the need for a coercive mutual defense treaty.

“I am very grateful to those who have come to help me. It's small, but I'll pay for the effort."

After Gaktoubk once again expressed their gratitude, points were distributed to the supporters including Hyunseong.

It was the sum of the cost of transportation and labor to get here.

Hyunseong also thanked players who had helped in the past and distributed points.

What if you were going to hire such strong men as mercenaries?

It may have cost several hundred or several thousand times the cost of moving and labor.

After the warm ending, the level 1 players who had gathered in the dimension of Gaktubuk dispersed to their respective dimensions.

But it wasn't Hyunseong.

“Why don’t you go?”

Gaktoubk looked at Hyunseong with a puzzled expression and asked.

“Are you not planning to formally form an alliance with me?”

“Formally? Have we already formed an alliance?”

“I want you to use the Soul Contract.”

“A contract of the soul?”

A negative light appeared on Gaktubuk's face.

It seemed that he felt quite a burden at the word contract of the soul.

“You don't have to worry about that. After all, the content will be the same as the oral alliance.”

“Then there is no need to write a contract of the soul, right? Isn’t it just a waste of points for nothing?”

Gaktubuk asked with a puzzled expression.

“But it’s a different story with a verbal and a bit of a coercive soul contract.”

“What’s different?”

“Now that I and Gaktubuk-sama have a good relationship, I can trust the oral alliance. However, if they break up in the future, they can break up right away. But if there is a contract of the soul, it would be different, wouldn't it?”

“Is there any reason for our relationship to deteriorate?”

Gaktubuk said in a slightly blunt tone.He seemed to be offended when he heard that they were going to break up in the future.

“The relationship between me and Gaktubuk-sama will be strong. But don't you know what will happen with other people? Your allies can become your enemies. We know the coordinates to each other's dimensions, so we can invade yesterday if we want.”

At Hyunseong's words, Gaktoubk's expression hardened.

Actually, to be honest, it wasn't wrong.

“Well, don’t. You can believe it, but the others are totally hard to believe.”

Gaktoubk has no choice but to completely trust Hyunseong.

It was impossible to invade Earth, which is the dimension of Hyunseong.

why?

Because Jenna was there.

Conversely, Hyunseong was able to invade the dimension of Gaktubuk.

From the standpoint of Gaktoubk, Hyunseong grew stronger day by day.

Maybe if more time passes?

It will be much stronger than Gaktoubk.

What if that happens?

‘It is advantageous to write a contract of the soul.’

Gaktoubk said with his mouth that he completely believes in Hyunseong.

But, to be honest, he believed because he had no choice but to believe rather than really believe.

Even those who had just come to help him didn't really believe it completely.

“I also plan to add one more word to the soul contract.”

“What is that?”

Gaktu Buk asked with a nervous expression if he thought he had even added a toxin clause.

“It’s a hunting ground sharing.”

“Sharing a hunting ground?”

“Yeah, it’s about catching monsters while traveling freely in the dimensions that each other dominates. This is unconditionally mutually beneficial.”

Sharing hunting grounds.

This was a necessary part for Hyunseong and Gaktoubuk.

The more dimensions you can hunt, the more achievements you can get.

“It is not.”

Gaktoubuk put on a harsh expression.

In fact, first-level players such as Gaktoubk and Hyunseong were in a state where their growth had stopped to a certain extent.

To become stronger?

He had to take some risk and fight a dimensional war to increase his power.

That's because I was able to increase my achievements and become stronger.

But what if you share a hunting ground?

You can be strong without risk.

“I plan to include other people in this alliance, starting with Gaktoubk. Gaktubuk-sama, please open the door.”

Gaktoubk's head was spinning in a complicated way.

What if alliances increase?

‘It’s unconditional advantage.’

Gaktoubuk, who had been hard at work, finally made a decision.

“Okay, do that.”

Gaktoubk accepted Hyunseong's proposal.

What if you write a contract for the soul as Hyunseong said?To put it bluntly, when Gaktubuk gained, he gained, and there was nothing to lose.

Hyunseong and Gaktoubk signed the soul contract.

The content was the same as the oral alliance.

Hyunseong and Gaktoubk have finished writing the contract for the soul.

Whoa!

The completed soul contract was divided into two and permeated into the bodies of Hyunseong and Gaktoubk.

Hyunseong and Gak To Boot looked at each other and smiled brightly.

"Hahaha! To be honest, I was reluctant at first, but after writing it, I feel reassured.”

"So do i. Then I'll just go.”

“Do that. If you want to hunt in a dimension under my control, please come over.”

Hyunseong returned to Earth with Gaktoubk's see-off.

Hyunseong, who came to Earth, started working against the players he had become friends with.

He persuaded him to write a contract of the soul, taking the case of Gaktu Buk as an example.

There were some who responded graciously, and some expressed a slight reluctance.

But it didn't matter.

‘As the scale grows, we have no choice but to come in, whether we like it or not.’

Oral alliances and soul pacts.

The weight had to be different.

As the number of people allied with the contract of the soul increases, those who form alliances verbally will become uneasy.

'For now, that's enough for now.'

Hyunseong stopped the dimensional warfare and started consolidating.

Thanks to the hard work in the past, the number of allied level 1 players who asked for help drastically decreased, and there were many strong people who could not be solved with Hyunseong's force.

‘Let’s diligently build achievements.’

Hyunseong diligently increased his achievements by touring the dimensions allied with his subordinate planes through a soul contract.

Linked achievements applied to a single type of monster increased rapidly.

Book of Gluttony also ate various types of monsters and increased Hyunseong's stats.

Of course, there were not many stats that the linked achievements and gluttony books applied to a single type of monster were increased.

However, there is a saying that it is a mountain that collects dust.

Hyunseong wanted to make those words a reality.

* * *

Time passed quickly.

Hyunseong has achieved numerous achievements.

He was a costly achievement from touring the subordinate and allied dimensions.

Meanwhile, the alliance promoted by Hyunseong was further strengthened.

The number of level 1 players who joined the alliance increased, and the number of players who signed a contract through the soul contract also increased.

Hyunseong did a trick here.

That is, Hyunseong himself has expanded the alliance.

If there are only a small number of allies, you can exchange soul contracts one by one.

But what if there are hundreds of them?

In reality, it is not easy for all members to exchange soul contracts one by one.

Accordingly, Hyunseong wrote a contract for the soul based on himself.

The target of the alliance was not limited to Hyunseong, but the contract of soul with Hyunseong was divided and expanded to those in alliance.

There are also players who follow Hyunseong like this.A new alliance was formed around him.

But in the end they too had no choice but to form an alliance with Hyunseong.

Because the size of the alliance was the largest with Hyunseong.

As Hyunseong's stats increased rapidly, the stats of allied level 1 players also increased rapidly.

It was the effect of a lot of hunting grounds.

Hyunseong gave even first-level players who came under his command the opportunity to expand their hunting grounds.

When the situation became like this, the power of the alliances formed around Hyunseong began to rise sharply.

The synergy of combining forces with each other was well displayed.

‘All the preparations I can do are finished.’

Now it was time to start the dimensional war again.

‘Can I win?’

The opponents we had to fight from now on were the strongest among the strong who were on the verge of breaking out of the bridle.

Enemies worth trying to some extent have been cleaned up before that.

‘Let’s do it.’

If you stand still, you will only be stagnant.

Hyunseong had to keep moving forward until he was freed from the bridle and found true freedom.

‘After all, the first goal is there.’

Hyunseong moved to the dimension of Partisha.

Although it was weakened a lot, the safety barrier was still maintained in Partisha's dimension.

This is because the gap between the power of Partisha's dimension and that of the half-human, half-dragon's dimension was so large.

Hyunseong swallowed dry saliva and passed through the dimension gate.

‘Nothing has changed here.’

The place where Hyunseong ran away from being chased by an undead giant made by Shizura in the past.

Hyunseong had a big shock here.

It was because of the appearance of an existence that smashed the undead giant that seemed impossible to fight against with one blow.

‘Can we win now?’

Hyunseong is much stronger than in the past.

'But he probably wouldn't have been playing around.'

Although Hyunseong is said to be growing fast, he wasn't sure if he had caught up yet.

‘Let’s try it.’

The dimensional invasion of the half-human and half-dragons meant more to checking one's own skills than to defending Partisha's dimension.

* * *

Meanwhile, at that time... … .

“Sweep it all away!”

The half-human, half-dragon with red scales was engrossed in the game samadhi.

After his longtime rival, the Black Lion Guild, suddenly evaporated, the half-human half-dragon with red scales took over the entire server with the Red Dragon Guild he created.

After that, the fun diminished.

When a rival worthy to fight disappeared, the red scale, half-human, half-dragon, who had been playing the game for fun, lost interest in the game.

Then a new enemy appeared.

The server consolidation due to the decrease in the number of users proceeded to use the same server as the Boramae Guild, which was a strong player in other servers.

The appearance of a new enemy set fire to the heart of the half-human, half-dragon with red scales, who had lost interest in the game.

As a result, the half-human, half-dragon with red scales fell deeply into the world of the game again, and has not been able to get out of it to this day.

While Hyunseong was growing hard in real life, the half-human half-dragon with red scales was working hard to develop the character in the game, not himself.
