The Player Who Returned From The Apocalypse

- It's really creepy. How much is this?

The NPC manager asked Seongjin whose body was slowly turning into crystal.

I don't know if it's already been a few days. For a very long period of time, without a break, Seongjin was constantly sending fragments, and he was dealing with them.

It was annoying at first, but now I'm tired.

"Why? Are you thinking of accepting the deal?"

Even as his body hardened, the appearance of Sungjin smiling and talking was bizarre.

Unlike being an NPC, that's a lot of pain, but how can you laugh like that?

- Crazy.

"It doesn't matter what you call it, as long as you agree to the deal."

- The deal is crap. It's a threat. I'm just trying to get my stuff back, so why do I have to deal with you?

“Well, you should listen first.”

- Not required.

"Ah, just a little..."

blatantly-

Before Seongjin's fragment could say anything, it had completely turned into crystal.

It's not in the amendment.

The skin and blood that made up his body were all transformed into crystals.

'I wish this was over.'

pass-

Watching the crystal disappearing, the manager tilted his head.

wickedness-

A sword passed through his head.

His horns were slightly alive.

"Dor*mu. I'm here to make a deal."

- That word alone is the thousandth.

"Then this must be the thousand and one hundredth meeting. Dore*mu."

- Who is Dor*mu?

"Then could you tell me your name?"

- No name.

Papa-

Kakaka angle-

His hands intertwined and the sword and horns clashed.

At first, Seongjin was attacked in an instant and after that, the only way to avoid it was Seongjin, but now he was fighting like a fight.

Besides.

"Are you slowly getting tired?"

voice from behind.

The manager quickly shook off the confronting Seongjin and reached out to the place where the sound was heard.

- Sahwa

crisp-

Turn what you hold into sand.

Although the skill was not applied properly because it was caught lightly, the caught part was made of sand.

- Is it fun?

The manager said while looking at another Seongjin who had lost his wrist due to Sahwa.

The division was not alone.

At first there was definitely one person, but the number was growing.

"Can't it be fun?"

- Then what are you laughing at?

Sungjin, who was smiling even though his wrists turned to sand and blood was pouring out, reminded him of a zealot.

Just looking at it makes me feel bad and goosebumps.

I had the urge to kill him immediately.

You know the saying, "Laugh the harder you are."

- … … .

“There is nothing good about showing negative things on the outside.”

- is it.

"So, you better be careful not to express yourself too."

Sungjin pointed at him and said.

"Points. Did you spend a lot?"

- … … .

"Don't even try to lie. The light of the beads embedded in the body has faded a lot. Some don't even come on."

The manager raised his hand and checked the marbles embedded in his body.

As he said, the light was much dim compared to the first time. The flickering and extinguished marbles are slowly entering the body.

'Did you write this much?'

- I'm kind of tired.

Marbles are like items that store points.

The fact that this was not so powerful suggested that he used a lot of points, as he said.

"At first, you said that there were no other points? That seems to be a bluff as well."

I nervously reach out for a voice coming from another direction.

With the invisible power that came out of his hand, he struck and killed the other Seongjin who was hiding.

But not yet.

"This is the thousandth time, do you think I'll have to do this about ten times?"

tuk tuk.

Another Seongjin approached before he knew it and touched the marble of his body that had lost its light.

I felt a bad feeling as the beads went into my body.

- This guy!

shit-

The blade that rose from the ground pierced through the body of Seongjin.

But then it disappeared.

He was smiling.

"It's useless. No matter how much you kill me, I'll only make up for it."

"My magical power is infinite. Unlike you, like a corpse, there is no need to spend points."

"My body has become very dull. Here it is."

"If you don't attack from there, I will attack you."

Voices from all directions.

Some are hiding behind green pillars that turn into NPCs, some are flying in the sky and some are underground.

Two still in front.

… the numbers have grown

no, more than that.

'this guy. It's getting stronger.'

Indiscriminate attack skills fly with him.

Its absolute power has not been strengthened. Rather, it was a matter of usability.

The ability to evade attacks, the combination and use of skills, and the strategic maneuvering ability using the increased fragmentation. He began to utilize his given abilities to the fullest extent.

And the point consumption of the manager who was dealing with him was also increasing.

He said that ten repetitions of a thousand would use up all the points, but perhaps two or three would use them all.

- Haap!

kuung-

When the pressure was raised, the skills that were pouring down like carpet bombardment suddenly exploded and disappeared.

And the fragments of Seongjin appearing in it were seen.

total of seven.

Secretly closing the distance, they attacked the manager's body with different weapons.

A javelin flies from afar.

-They are nailed to the ground together with the ankles.

The whip strikes the arm.

- The six pieces fall off the arm.

He used the skill to counterattack.

-The shield is blocked by the one holding the shield, and the skill returns.

The sword strikes the horns.

- Unlike before, the horns were cut off.

Chains wrap around the body.

- Your body has become sluggish.

The ax falls towards the neck.

- … .

Qwajik-

Seongjin's body exploded.

- Whoa.

The manager nervously stepped on the splattered flesh.

The status of the body was restored in an instant.

However, with it, the light of the marbles embedded in the body weakened, and a total of four marbles disappeared altogether.

It was because I used too many points.

"Of course. You can't use strong skills, right?"

Tock, tock-

the sound of footsteps again.

Considering the sound cycle, the number seems to be higher.

"Dor*mu. I'm here to make the first deal with a hundred thousand."

The manager looked at him intently.

The beads embedded in his body shuddered and shimmered as if they were about to fight again.

And.

- After. done. let's hear a story

wow.

With a sound as if the engine was turned off, the marbles vibrated and the lights extinguished.

The manager sat down on the floor as if exhausted.

Sungjin approached him and sat down with him.

"Then let's start trading."

* * *

Seongjin, who barely entered the transaction request stage, breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

He is now at the starting line.

A person with overwhelming power is not good at communicating. He orders and when it is disobeyed, he only wields that power.

This was the case.

Thankfully, he had limited power, so he was able to make this position, otherwise he would have become an NPC, let alone a skill ball.

'Come on, don't fret. you can do it. The means of trading are sufficient.'

The beating heart is loud.

It felt like it was going to come out of his mouth.

Even the slightest twist can wipe out over a thousand deaths.

There is not much time.

'According to Info's speculation, it is said that God has come down outside.'

Although his party's strength had become very strong, it was uncertain whether they could handle him.

No, he will be able to afford it. He just couldn't finish him.

He had the power to kill the gods, and he had to go fast on his own.

It was he himself who was running out of time.

- Alright then, let's organize the transaction. What you want is to get out of this system shop and own the stolen skill ball. is that right?

"Yes."

- Why do you need this? Is it necessary to get through suffering like this?

"It's insurance."

Sungjin calmly answered the manager's question with a blunt tone.

He doesn't show his facial expressions and he acts as if he has the upper hand.

He preferably does not give information.

Refrain from lying.

giving is.

“We need that kind of insurance to fight the gods.”

It is only when you induce the other person to take action.

The manager's face lit up for a moment, then disappeared.

Also, he didn't know that he was going to fight the gods.

"Can I tell you what I can give you now?"

- okay. If you still stick to the attitude of intimidation, I'll cut your throat right here.

As the manager pretended to grab something, he felt his neck tighten.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

It seemed that the threats had hurt his pride a lot.

"I have no intention of intimidating until the very end. It was just said to create this place in the first place."

What I've done so far has been really intimidating.

If you don't listen to the conversation, I'll keep you using points, that is, I'll kill you no matter how long it takes.

However, if it is a transaction, the law must be mutually beneficial to be a transaction.

"There is something that needs to be corrected first. It is a natural requirement to release me out of this place. I will not treat it as a trade-off."

- Why?

"In that way, what I've done so far is the same deal. Do you want to continue?"

Using each other's strength to inflict damage on the other should not be considered a trade deal.

From there, it's intimidating.

When I pushed hard, the manager also nodded in agreement.

- good. I admit that. But it's not a skill ball.

"Is this skill ball that important?"

- It doesn't matter. At least against someone with the same skill.

"If it's an enemy?"

- The being you are talking about is God.

I clenched the fist hidden behind my back.

succeeded in encouraging conversation.

"Why is God your enemy?"

- Should you know that?

"I'm also going to fight the gods, wouldn't it be nice to know? Do you know. I'll defeat the gods."

- … That's it too. Considering the skills you bought, it could be.

"And you need this skill ball to take it down."

The manager nodded.

When he becomes S-rank, the skills he acquired are invalid.

It was a skill that could block the activation of the opponent's skill only for the acquired skill.

Therefore, by acquiring this skill, it was possible to defeat an opponent who had learned the same skill.

- Still can't. I can't think you'll win Waiting for him to come this way and then killing him... .

"Then why have you been waiting all this time? Doesn't he stand up because he doesn't have the confidence to deal with him?"

- What?

"I was attacked like this, do you think it will work for him?"

… it won't work

On the contrary, it was clear that he was going to be dried up and killed with Seongjin.

- Ha. no fuss

“Is revenge your goal?”

- okay. My goal is to take revenge on the guy who stole my dignity.

"Then I'll make it happen. I'll find him. I'll give him his name and information."

The manager thought about it and said.

- Are those your terms and conditions?

"Yes."

The manager smiled at Seongjin's confident answer.

- good. I accept your terms. Instead, there are conditions.

after a while.

Hearing the condition, Sungjin readily accepted it.
