Level 1 Player

‘I lived.’

Hyunseong smiled brightly.

In the worst case, he thought that he could be crushed by the dimensional rift and die.

But Hyunseong survived.

He gambled successfully.

'Now that's it.'

Now we just need to get out of here.

Hyunseong took out his smartphone.

it was edible

He tried using the dimension gate skill just in case.

Break up!

It was also edible.

However, this was expected enough.

Hyunseong opened the status window.

Like Lucia, he planned to get out of this place by hiring mercenaries.

'uh?'

But there was a problem.

He tried to log into the system shop and apply for a mercenary job... … .

'what's this?'

The system shop window did not open like when the barrier prevented communication with the outside.

In the past, when locked in a barrier, it was impossible to connect to the outside world as if the system had gone offline.

However, the system shop has changed as it was then.

- Lucia.

I called out Lucia through the overlord's cry.

But there was no answer.

‘Where the hell are you?’

Hyunseong, who thought the gamble was successful, looked around with a puzzled expression.

It was complete darkness all around.

Fragile! Whoops!

I used the Black Lightning God Magician and the Tome of Flames.

However, only the area around Hyunseong's body was shining.

Hyunseong moved his body.

Shoo woo woo woo!

Hyunseong's body ripped through the air at a frightening speed.

But… … .

There was no end to going.

‘What is this?’

Endless expansive space.

A space with nothing but darkness.

stuck in such a place.

‘I have to go back soon.’

He had to reassure his family.

Earth and subordinate dimensions had to be protected as well.

But there was no way out of this damn place.

‘Should I try one more time?’

Dimensional movement skills.

Using that skill, it was possible to get out of here.

However, if you do it wrong, you could lose your life.

‘Let’s go as far as we can see.’

Hyunseong swam through endless darkness.

A day passed and two days passed.

Still, the darkness had no end in sight.

The fortunate thing was that the subspace skill was working normally.

In Hyunseong's subspace, there was plenty of water and food that could have been eaten for thousands of years.

A week passed and a month passed.

But all that came out was thick darkness.

'Damn it.'

Hyunseong was mentally exhausted.

For over a month, he didn't see anyone.

A poison called loneliness ate up Hyunseong's mind.

He wanted to see the faces of his parents.

I wanted to see Lucia and my sister too, and I wanted to know how the war was going.

I didn't want to dry up and die in this empty space.

‘We need to get out of here.’

Hyunseong brought out the dimension movement skill again.

However, the risk was too great.

‘Should I strengthen?’

A skill that has been strengthened to a non-grade level, but has not changed at all.

‘You never know.’

Hyunseong made moderate sacrifices and strengthened his dimensional movement skills.

But… … .

The options haven't changed.

'Damn it.'

Hyunseong's face was contorted into a mess.

It turned out to be just a waste of points.

Points are Hyunseong's lifespan and the only way to get stronger or acquire new skills.

But I wasted those points in vain.

‘Let’s run the gacha more.’

Now, the only thing to believe was the second option of the unique ability gacha.

Hyunseong turned the gacha.

Please pray for the skill to get out of here.

- The unique power gacha is activated.

-Points are consumed.

-Shadows of Darkness - Normal grades have been created.

- The unique power gacha is activated.

-Points are consumed.

-Fire Rain - Normal grade has been created.

… … aftermath... …

But the results were disappointing.

Only the points decreased, and the proper skill showed no sign of coming out.

That was then.

- The unique power gacha is activated.

-Points are consumed.

-Ten o'clock - Unique creation grade has been created.

'What's this?'

It looked like it had nothing to do with escape, but the only creation-grade skill appeared.

Hyunseong confirmed the skill information.

[Ten O'Clock - Unique Creation Grade]

-Passive skill

- Receive points and experience points from those who are physically and mentally connected with the learner.

'OMG?'

Hyunseong's mouth widened and opened.

‘Is it possible to receive points and experience points?’

Let's say that's the point, but what about experience?

As a level 1 player, Hyunseong, it was something I could never get.

‘Is it possible to level up?’

Level 1 player Hyunseong earns points, not experience points, even by hunting monsters.

But what if you have this skill?

It meant that it was possible to level up by receiving other people's experience points.

‘It’s a complete scam skill.’

In the second option of the unique ability gacha, a skill worthy of being called morale has finally emerged following the seal skill.

What if you only have ten o'clock skills?Hyunseong can level up.

What if you level up?

Gives 5 stats per level 1.

There was an opportunity to further increase the stats.

If there's one problem... … .

‘Right now, it’s of no use to anyone.’

He was in a situation where he could not even talk to them, let alone receive anything from his subordinates.

What if you're stuck on a deserted island where you can't use gold even if you have chunks of it?

It's worth less than a loaf of bread.

Such was the current situation of Hyunseong.

'uh?'

That was then.

- You have acquired 1 experience.

'what's this?'

Suddenly, a message came to mind that I had acquired 1 experience.

'no way?'

Hyunseong's expression filled with joy.

‘It wasn’t completely separate.’

The 10 o'clock skill is a skill that Hyunseong has never had before.

Also, Hyunseong's servants are scattered in each dimension.

There is a possibility that there is a dimension where the servants live near here.

‘Where the hell are you?’

The problem was that Hyunseong couldn't take direction.

‘Let’s move for now.’

I got a clue how to get out of this place.

There was no time to waste.

I had to move right now.

* * *

A month has passed since Hyunseong disappeared.

Those who took off their bridles recognized the craftsmanship of the enemies and gods holding hands, and denounced them fiercely.

But verbal accusations were meaningless.

Also, I couldn't make Hyunseong, who disappeared, come back again.

It just made the war more intense.

Fortunately, the Earth was able to survive thanks to the consideration of Xena and other people who took off their bridles.

However, the sense of loss that Hyunseong's family felt was beyond imagination.

I couldn't help but worry that my son would never come back like this.

“ Hyunseong will definitely come back.”

Lucia said so and comforted Hyunseong's mother, Ms. Park Mi-sook.

“Is that so?”

“Yes, Hyunseong is definitely alive.”

At Lucia's words, Ms. Park Mi-sook put on a relieved expression.

And what Lucia said was not a lie.

‘Your lord is surely alive.’

The covenant made as a monarch and a knight was not broken.

That meant that Lucia's master, Hyunseong, was still alive.

However, there were things that Hyunseong's mother, Ms. Park Mi-sook, could not say.

The point is that we cannot guarantee when Hyunseong will return.

You can come back right away as soon as possible.

But if not, it may come back after hundreds of years have passed.

And maybe… … .

‘He may never come back.’

What if you spend all your points without getting out of the dimensional gap?

Hyunseong had no choice but to die alone.

“So don’t worry too much.”

With those words, Lucia smiled and got up from her seat.

During the war, Lucia played a role of escorting Hyunseong's family.But now the role has been passed on to others.

The reason is... … .

Because Lucia also became the unbridled one.

Lucia has been with Hyunseong since the early days of awakening.

Hyunseong also gave Lucia the right to sell electronic and cultural goods, and received a portion of the proceeds as a commission.

Because of that, growth was inevitable.

After Hyunseong disappeared?

Lucia was in charge of everything Hyunseong had to do.

This is because Hyunseong has appointed Lucia as his agent for the unexpected situation.

Lucia's points, who became Hyunseong's agent, grew like a snowball.

And as a result.

He could be the unbridled one.

Of course, Lucia had no intention of disobeying Hyunseong's last order just because she became the unbridled one.

Hyunseong's order is to protect his family.

Maybe if it wasn't for the unique powers that were newly acquired when the bridle became naked... … .

Lucia would have continued to stay with Hyunseong's family.

However, due to her newly acquired unique powers, there was no longer a need to protect Hyunseong's family from close quarters.

Absolutely protects Lucia's newly acquired unique power.

It was the power to nullify all attacks on herself and others.

The only downside was that it consumes a lot of points every time you block an enemy attack.

However, on the other hand, if there were many points, it would not be strange to call it invincible.

There was no distance limit.

There was, however, a number limit.

Four people excluding himself who is the caster of power.

Accordingly, Lucia designated Hyunseong's parents and older sister as the target of protection.

One remaining seat was left blank.

It was because the master Hyunseong was designated, but it was not recognized.

“Then let’s go.”

Lucia got up from her seat and she greeted Misook Park.

“Can’t we go?”

Ms. Park Mi-sook considered her Lucia as her own daughter.

She has been living together for decades.

She didn't want to lose even Lucia, whom Park Mi-sook considered her daughter after her son Hyunseong.

“If you stand still, you will be culled,” she said. In order to protect the Earth, Hyunseong's hometown, we have to become stronger.”

At Lucia's words, Ms. Park Mi-sook reluctantly nodded her head.

Lucia used her Spirit Summon skill.

A spirit in the shape of a translucent horse appeared.

She was the guy Hyunseong got from a gift of a spirit stone in the past.

She was also a former Mai who had high mobility and combat power because Hyunseong directly strengthened her.

Lucia rode on the Spirit of Wind.

“Let’s go, Scott.”

At the end of Lucia's words, she feared that Scott, the wind spirit, flew high into the sky, passed through her dimensional gate, and plunged into the battlefield.

* * *

'Now I've just got a direction.'

After wandering for a full month, Hyunseong was able to take the right direction.

There is only one proof of that.

It was a system message.

- You have acquired 1 experience.

The system message rang once every few days.

So it was difficult to get directions.

But after a full week of hard work, I got it right, and as a result, the system message is now ringing once every 12 hours.

‘It’s getting closer.’

The alarm that you have acquired experience has been reduced from a few days interval to two days, one day, and now 12 hours.

If you could reduce this time to 1 hour, 1 minute, 1 second, what would it be?

‘You can get out of here.’

If there was one problem, it was that I had to go through the endless darkness.

There is no promise of when it will end.

‘It’s getting better.’

Hyunseong was not disappointed.

Hope is showing.

But he didn't have to be discouraged.

‘It’s sure to get out.’

Hyunseong wanted to get out of this place and return to his family, whether it took a year, 10 years, or 100 years.

* * *

After Hyunseong disappeared.

The war got a little more intense.

However, neither side had a chance to win.

There is only one reason.

It was because of the intervention of the gods.

The gods blatantly intervened in the war and exerted influence.

Even if Hyunseong disappeared, the coalition to which the Earth belongs prevailed in the overall power.

However, as the gods intervened, the dominance did not exert much force.

The gods didn't want the war to end in either side's victory.

Is it because of that?

The gods only provided a moderate level of help to the alliance that Alfa Raji belonged to.

It was as if the two coalitions were to fight each other and even destroy each other.

The coalition to which Hyunseong belongs denounced enemies who had joined hands with the gods.

The Alliance to which Alfa Raji belongs was displeased with the gods who used him.

Even then, when the war situation became unfavorable, in order not to lose, he pretended not to win and received help from the gods.

With the intervention of the gods, the war showed signs of becoming a very long battle.

A lot of people died.

But neither coalition seemed willing to yield to the other.

* * *

Aww! Aww!

Powers with powerful destructive power hit Lucia's body one after another.

Lucia marched forward without any hesitation, piercing through the attacks of his enemies.

There was a white flower next to such Lucia.

The rivers that were created while Baekhwa danced the sword dance slashed the enemies.

Baekhwa didn't care about defense.

He only performed an attack-universal swordsmanship.

Nevertheless, Baekhwa suffered no damage.

It was thanks to the absolute protection that Lucia had extended.

Lucia and Baekhwa became a team and swept away those who had taken off the bridle of the enemy.

"retreat!"

Those who had taken off the enemy's bridle eventually gave up the dimension they had occupied and made a retreat.

“Whew!”

Lucia let out a long sigh.

He has been concentrating on training while honing his unique abilities.

He also trained his mind and body through ceaseless battles.

But he couldn't help being tired.

“I won.”

At Baekhwa’s words, Lucia put on a bitter expression.

win win win

However, the enemy's damage was not so great.

Not a single one died.

This is because the enemies retreated appropriately without overdoing it.

But Lucia's bitter expression was not because she had missed her enemies.

‘When are you going to come back?’

When I wake up every morning, I have hope that Hyunseong might have returned.

But that hope has never come true.

“Are you thinking of Choi Hyunseong again?”

At Baekhwa's question, Lucia nodded his head.

“You will come back.”“Is that so?”

“You are still alive.”

"Yes."

More than 10 years have passed since Hyunseong disappeared.

It's been such a long time, but Hyunseong hasn't come back yet.

But Hyunseong was alive.

The fact that the pact between Hyunseong and Lucia was maintained was proof of that.

But being alive and returning were two different things.

Maybe Hyunseong will not come back even after 100 or 1000 years, not 10 years.

But Lucia had never uttered such a possibility.

Wow!

Then, Lucia's smartphone rang.

The person who contacted me was Guest.

“What are you doing?”

Lucia answered the phone and asked.

- I've found where that rip-and-kill guy's shit is.

At Gespit's words, Lucia's eyes flashed with life.

A fucking bastard's piece of shit.

It was a slang term referring to the Alfa Raji that trapped Hyunseong.

“I will go right now. Please tell me the coordinates.”

-okay.

As soon as Lucia received the coordinates from Gespit, she opened the dimension gate and jumped into it.

“Eww!”

After Baekhwa sighed, he followed Lucia and crossed his dimensional gate.

* * *

Aww! Aww!

Gespit and Alfa Raj were fighting fiercely.

- After a while, Lucia will come. All well prepared. Whatever the case, you should take this opportunity to get rid of it.

Alfa Raji used a message skill to block Gespit's attack and to his colleagues in hiding.

-I know.

- How much damage will you lose if you miss this opportunity?

Lucia established herself as a nightmare for Alfa Raj and her colleagues shortly after Hyunseong disappeared.

Lucia, who had awakened the fraudulent inherent power of nullifying all attacks, was the strongest tank in existence.

In fact, if it was a simple tank, just ignore it.

If you focus on defense, your attack power tends to be weak.

The problem, however, was that Lucia's powers were also applied to others.

What if Lucia's power to negate all attacks is applied to the dealer who has gone all-in to increase attack power?

It was a nightmare in itself.

Lucia worked as a team with people like Baekhwa, Guess Pitt, and Jenna, and the damage that resulted was snowballing like his.

Alfa Raj, along with his comrades, plotted to get rid of Lucia.

The gods were also involved in this matter.

It was because they thought that Lucia was a heterogeneous entity that could break the tension between the two sides, as in the case of Choi Hyunseong.

Fragile!

The dimensional gate opened and Lucia and Baekhwa appeared inside.

Slurry!

Lucia and Baekhwa, each drawing their own weapons, rushed to Alfa Raji.

A situation from 1 to 1 to 3 to 1.

“Kill!”

With the cry of Alfa Raji, about 10 people who had been hiding out of their bridles appeared.

At the same time, the inside and outside of the battlefield were completely cut off.

"what?"

"trap?"

Lucia and Baek-hwa looked embarrassed.

It was the same with Guest.

However, the faces of the three men, who were bewildered, quickly regained stability.

“Did you just try to get rid of us with that many people?”

Guest stared at the enemies with a plastic expression.The total number of enemies is 15.

There were many

With three allies, it was five times as many.

However, there was Lucia among allies.

“Sweep it all away!”

The guest ran towards the enemies with a cry.

Lucia and Baekhwa followed in the footsteps of such a guest.

The three have fought numerous battles in the past.

And there were so many crises.

However, Lucia, Gespit, and Baekhwa have survived to this day.

There was only one reason why.

It was because he overcame numerous crises on his own strength.

Lucia used her powers on Gespit and Baek Hwa, including herself.

Lucia has used astronomical points to upgrade her power, absolute protection.

As a result, Lucia's absolute protection of power has increased by three people, and the consumption of points has also been greatly reduced.

Lucia, Gespit, and Baekhwa ignored the enemy's attack and concentrated on their attack.

‘There is enough room for points.’

Lucia was the heir to Hyunseong's legacy.

As a result, he was able to earn a huge amount of points even during the war.

If you used the unique ability Absolute Protection, you could protect three people, including yourself, all day long.

‘If you were going to kill us, you should have brought 150 people instead of 15.’

Lucia laughed at the foolish choices of her enemies and swung her sword and shield.

'It's rather good.'

On this occasion, he intended to eliminate Alfa Raj, who played a decisive role in Hyunseong's disappearance.

Aww! Aww!

The powers of those who took off their bridles collided, and fragments of magical power burst out in all directions.

It was a 3 to 15 battle, but it was the side of Lucia and the others who pushed the opponent away.

There was no need to worry about defense, so it was natural.

The one-sided offensive continued.

However, the number of enemies did not decrease at all.

There is only one reason.

It was because of the existence that lends power to the enemies.

“These scumbags! Are you the ones who are still unbridled!”

With a very indignant expression on the guest's face, the guest poured out abusive language at the enemies.

What if it was a normal battle?

More than half of the enemies would have been killed.

But the enemies were holding on.

There is only one reason.

It was because of the power of the gods to protect the body of enemies.

The enemies continued the battle without any answer.

Time kept going.

3 hours passed, 6 hours passed, 12 hours passed.

Then, when almost a full day had passed.

Despair appeared on Lucia, Gespit, and Baekhwa's faces.

The reason they were able to ignore their numerical inferiority until now was because of Lucia's absolute protection of power.

But now, Lucia's point was almost at the bottom.

Of course, he wasn't in trouble right away.

Because Baekhwa and Gespit can hand over their points to Lucia.

The problem was that I didn't see a solution.

Even if Baekhwa and Gespit hand over points to Lucia, the time they can endure will only increase.

Because of the power of the gods protecting them, they could not be killed.

What if time continues like this?

What if all three of them run out of points?

They had no choice but to die on the spot.

‘I did not mobilize a large number of troops on purpose.’

The guest scoffed at the enemies of only fifteen.But the enemies were only acting rationally.

They were confident that they could catch them without having to mobilize more troops, so only 15 people came out.

Time kept going.

Lucia, Gespit, and Baekhwa made numerous attempts.

He tried to break the barrier and tried to increase his attack power by investing points in power to reduce the number of enemies.

But to no avail.

The power of the gods protecting the enemies was too strong.

In fact, there was a battle in which no one could harm each other.

This was a battle between whether the absolute protection, which is Lucia's power, disappears first, and whether the power of the gods protecting those who have taken off the enemy's yoke disappears first.

In this situation, Lucia and the party, who had a small number, were at a disadvantage.

The difference between collecting only three points and adding up all the points of 15 enemies and the gods who gave them power was quite large.

- I don't think I can stand it any longer.

Lucia informed Baekhwa and Guest that the points were running out with the message skill.

Baekhwa and Gespit didn't have a particularly sharp way.

It was because the two of them had handed over all the remaining points to Lucia.

There was no hope of survival.

Only a future full of despair remains.

It was impossible for the three of them to even escape through the dimensional gap.

Hyunseong was able to do this because he has a non-graded skill.

However, Lucia and her party had to use consumable items, but the grade of the consumable items they had was too low to break through the barrier.

Well, even if they broke the barrier, the chance of survival was too low.

This is because these three people had already consumed most of the points they had and were slowly aging.

-Let's do our best until the end.

Guest stared at the enemies.

I didn't mean to die gracefully.

Alpaca.

The culprit who sent Hyunseong into a dimensional gap and put them into a crisis.

I was thinking of getting rid of that guy.

Lucia, Gespit, and Baekhwa waged the final battle against their enemies.

During the battle, Lucia's power of absolute protection disappeared.

Scratch! Left!

Big and small wounds on the three people's bodies increased one by one.

Overturning numerical superiority with the power of absolute protection gone... … .

It was virtually impossible.

‘It’s unfortunate.’

situation in the face of death.

It was so unfair that Lucia could not do anything even with Hyunseong's enemy in front of her.

‘I wanted to see you.’

After returning home, I really wanted to see Hyunseong's brightly smiling face.

But now it has become an impossible dream.

Even if Hyunseong comes back, he won't be confident.

He was more saddened by the fact that he could not see Hyunseong again than the fact that he would die.

Whik!

Alfa Raji's sword flew towards Lucia's heart.

In a state where the power of absolute protection was neutralized, the one with the weakest combat power was Lucia.

Paang!

The shield was barely able to defend against Alfa Raji's attack.

However, there was no way to block the attacks of other enemies leading to linkages.

‘Are you going to die like this?’

So close.

I wanted to see Hyunseong's face one more time before I die.

That was then.

Fragile!

The space was torn apart and the dimension gate was opened semi-forcibly.

And in it… … .

“Lord!”

The person I wanted to see like that showed up.
