CH 186

Siegfried’s prediction ended up being correct because Wagon didn’t keep his promise.

Tak! Tak! Tak! 

He attempted to make a run for it as soon as they exited the Dimensional Rift.

Whiiiish! Bam!

However, Siegfried’s Flying Spur struck him before he could go far.

[Alert: Status Ailment!]

[Alert: You have been afflicted by ‘Status Ailment: Lower Body Paralysis’!]

[Alert: You are immobilized!]

A string of alerts popped up in front of Wagon’s eyes.

“I knew you weren’t going to listen,” Siegfried grumbled. He looked down at Wagon and smiled coldly before saying, “Yeah, it won’t be fun if you’re obedient.”

“Y-You fucking obsessive Korean…! Keuk…!” Wagon cursed in response.

“Yeah, we Koreans are quite obsessive, all right,” Siegfried replied with a shrug.

Koreans’ obsession with games had long become a well-established fact.

“But I’m more obsessive than the average Korean,” Siegfried added.

“Just wait and see…!” Wagon growled in response.

“Well, it’s time for you to die once,” Siegfried said and swung his hammer into that place.

Pukeok!

“…!” Wagon abruptly froze at the loud cracking sound.

Exactly one second later—

“AAAAAAARGGHHHHHH!”

—a scream of agony reverberated throughout the surroundings.

“Just die. Yeah, just go ahead and die,” Siegfried said nonchalantly before swinging his hammer once again.

Puk! Puk! Puk!

Pukeok! Puk! Puk!

Siegfried repeatedly swung his hammer into that place until Wagon died.

***

Fifty hours later, Wagon spawned at a nearby village. “That damned Korean… Just you wait… I’m going to put a bullet in your head…!”

However, his desire to kill Wagon quickly vanished.

‘Hmm? Wow, that girl’s pretty. I can feel my thing reacting to her!’ he exclaimed inwardly and started salivating after spotting a female NPC sitting all alone at a coffee shop, enjoying a cup of coffee.

[Charlotte]

[Type: NPC]

[Level: 180]

[Affiliation: Macallan Kingdom Border Defense]

[Position: Platoon Leader]

[Rank: First Lieutenant ]

‘Oh! I hit the jackpot! Who could have known that I would find a military beauty in this place?!’ Wagon exclaimed inwardly once again while practically drooling.

Charlotte was indeed a beautiful woman. She had flowing blonde hair and a slim figure. She was tall with a glamorous body. Her figure was so good that even her military uniform—which covered her entire body—failed to hide her figure.

‘I wonder how she’s going to look like while blushing? Uniform fetish will never be out of trend, so I’m sure I’ll be able to sell a lot,’ he thought while salivating over the NPC.

He quickly started streaming.

“Hello, my friends! I have finally escaped from that dungeon! It’s all thanks to that Korean, but unfortunately, he turned out to be a bad person. However, I will tell you all about it at a later date… Why, you ask? That’s because catching our prey comes first!”

Wagon directed the camera view toward the NPC beauty, who was drinking coffee.

“Do you see her? She’s a knight working for the border defense. What do you think? She’s a nice catch, right? How do you feel about half-stripping that uniform of hers? You guys must be thinking what I’m thinking, right? All right, shall we slowly start approaching our prey?”

Wagon breathed in and out for five seconds before wiping off all of the perverseness and vile look from his face. He then approached Charlotte with sadness and melancholy in his eyes.

“Rozelle?” he said.

“Pardon me?” Charlotte replied.

“Isn’t it you, Rozelle?”

“What do you mean by that? My name is Charlotte.”

“Ah!” Wagon exclaimed and pretended to be shocked before he continued, “A-Apologies, lady.”

“…?”

“I must have mistaken you for someone else… You look exactly like her, that I…” Wagon said. He sat across from her and continued, “She was a very precious person to me… A very… very precious person…”

“Was she also a soldier like me?” Charlotte asked.

Wagon shook his head and replied, “No, but she looked exactly like you, even though she’s not a knight.”

“So why did you mistake me for her?”

“I have no idea, lady… I guess it is because I miss her dearly… I cannot help but miss her all the more now that I cannot see her anymore…”

“I see… You must have broken up with her.”

“Yes, we broke up.”

“I thought she was precious to you? Why did you break up with her, then?”

“I had to send her somewhere far away.”

“Why?”

“She succumbed to her illness and…”

“Oh, my…”

“I know that I cannot see her anymore, but…”

Their conversation continued. Wagon mixed various storylines and lies he had devised himself and used them meticulously to trick Charlotte.

“I apologize for saying this, but… I think you are a pitiful man… I cannot help but feel sorry for you,” Charlotte said.

“I do not think so. Loving her was my own choice, so I do not regret my choice…”

“I am sure she is at a better place now.”

“I can only hope that is the case…”

“Oh, my, look at the time. It is already time for me to return to base.”

“If… If it is alright with you… May I accompany you to your base? If that is not a burden to you, my lady…” Wagon asked while looking down at the ground.

Charlotte smiled brightly and replied, “Sure. My base is quite far away, so I tend to get bored on the way.”

“Are you sure it’s fine?”

“Yes, but… will you be fine on the way back?”

“Please do not worry about me.”

“All right, then shall we go?”

“Sure.”

“I am extremely glad to be friends with you.”

“The same goes for me, my lady.”

“May I excuse myself and use the restroom before we depart?” Charlotte asked.

“Yes, I will be waiting for you, my lady,” Wagon replied with a nod.

Charlotte went to the restroom.

“Did you see that, my friends? We’re about to succeed! I’m halfway there already! It’s really a good idea to appeal to a woman’s maternal instinct! Now, shall we keep pressing on? I plan to steal her lips on the way!” Wagon exclaimed to his viewers.

However, things didn’t go as smoothly as he planned.

He was on the way to the base with Charlotte when he suddenly called out to her.

“Excuse me, Charlotte…?”

“Yes?”

Wagon made his move the moment Charlotte turned to him to reply.

He wrapped his arm around her neck and tried to kiss her.

Pukeok!

However, a loud smack could be heard as Wagon’s head was forcefully swung away.

‘Huh? She’s feistier than I thought…’  Wagon was taken aback by the sudden slap, but as expected from a seasoned scammer, he immediately pretended to be apologetic and apologized to Charlotte.

“I-I’m sorry! I’ve done something I shouldn’t have…” he said.

“I guess you deserve more beating if you know what you’ve done,” she replied.

“Huh…?”

“I hate scum like you,” Charlotte said.

She pulled off the skin on her face and put it in her pocket.

Her name suddenly changed from Charlotte to something else.

It turned out that she was wearing a Metamorphosis Mask.

[Oscar]

[Type: NPC]

[Level: 180]

[Class: Knight]

[Tier: Mid-Tier Sword Expert]

[Affiliation: Proatine Kingdom]

[Position: Army Commander]

[Rank: Major General]

That wasn’t all…

“Great job, Dame Oscar.”

“Kyu!”

Siegfried and Hamchi suddenly appeared from behind a bush and thanked Oscar.

“You bastards!” Wagon cried out.

“I told you, right? I’m much more obsessive than most Koreans,” Siegfried replied nonchalantly.

“Do you really think that you’ll be—” Wagon growled.

However, Siegfried waved his hand and interrupted him. “Nope, I don’t. Anyway, it’s time for another beating.”

He dashed toward the scumbag Wagon and started a beatdown that lasted for exactly and exactly two minutes and twenty-two seconds.

Puuuuk!

Finally, Siegfried’s hammer smashed into Wagon’s nuts.

“AAAARRRGHHHH!”

The cry of the nutless Wagon could be heard throughout the entire forest.

***

Wagon’s agony didn’t end there.

“H-Hiiik!”

He was at a pub trying to seduce the NPC barmaid when he shrieked in horror after Siegfried and Hamchi raised their beer mugs at him while smiling.

Needless to say, he was dragged out of the pub and was beaten to a pulp before being killed with the same hammer strike to the nuts.

However, it seemed that Wagon’s problem wouldn’t end anytime soon.

Wagon logged into BNW three days later and made a run for the Warp Gate.

However, a pair of familiar faces were already waiting for him there.

“Hey! Do you know how long we’ve been waiting? Hurry up!”

“Kyu! Hurry up!”

He got beaten up to a pulp once more, but the beatings were focused on his nether region.

“M-My dick! My diiiiickkk!”

He even seemed to have taken a psychological hit because he immediately grabbed his privates and cried out as soon as he returned to reality upon being logged out of the game.

The torture continued two more times before Wagon couldn’t take it anymore.

‘That bastard… I know Koreans can be quite scary and obsessive, but… I couldn’t have known that they could be THIS scary and obsessive…!’ Wagon thought.

In the end, he gave up on escaping and went to find Siegfried.

Siegfried was drinking coffee with Hamchi at a café’s terrace when he spotted Wagon.

“Oh, you’re here?” he said.

Of course, his gaze on the scumbag didn’t last even two seconds?

“That NPC… I’ll go meet her…” Wagon said.

“Huh? You’re done already? I thought you needed to die ten more times,” Siegfried said in surprise.

“Let’s stop this… I’m exhausted…”

“Will you go and apologize?”

“Yes.”

“Ah… Too bad…”

“…?”

“I would have preferred if you continued running away, so I can go and find you whenever I get bored… Maybe a hundred times more? Anyway, it really sucks to lose a plaything…”

“H-Hiiiik!”

Wagon was terrified by Siegfried’s obsession.

***

A few hours later, Wagon bowed and apologized to Julianne.

“I’m sorry…”

“Truth be told… I didn’t love you. I was just… I was just a piece of trash.”

“…”

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

“I’m sorry about the child you’re carrying, but there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Slap!

Julianne slapped Wagon as hard as she could.

“…”

Wagon didn’t say anything in response. He was a true piece of trash, but even he knew that there was nothing he could say in a situation like this.

“Your Majesty,” Julianne turned toward Siegfried.

“Speak,” Siegfried replied.

“I beg of you… Please kill him…”

“Pardon?”

“I want to see that scumbag die…” Julianne said with tears streaming down her cheeks.

At the sight, Siegfried wordlessly grabbed his hammer.

Pukeok!

He slammed his hammer and crushed Wagon’s nuts.

“Ughh…”

He kept on doing so until Wagon breathed his last.

“A-Actually… I knew all along. I knew it when I saw his expression the day I told him I was pregnant… Sniff… Sniff…!”

“I see…”

“I realized I got tricked a few months after he disappeared, but I just… I just had to see him… I just wanted to see him one last time… I don’t know why…”

Siegfried didn’t know what to say.

“But I’m fine now,” said Julianne. She wiped her tears and smiled brightly before continuing. “It is all behind me now. I’m going to focus on my unborn child.”

“…!”

“This baby is my child no matter what anyone says, and I want to raise this child to the best of my abilities. I want to raise this child into a healthy and upright child.”

Ding!

A message alert informing Siegfried that he had cleared the quest Looking for Husband Kim On the Continent popped up, and he was now one step closer to opening the Ark of the Ancient God

‘I’ll be supporting you, so try to be the best mother you can be…’ 

Siegfried decided to support the mother and her unborn child to the best of the kingdom’s abilities.

Who knows? Perhaps it was one of his callings as a gamer to heal the wounds of the NPCs that were inflicted on them by the other gamers.
