Chapter 106: Finally, Disaster (5)

Thunk!

An ominous sound of impact.

Then, a rough sensation was transmitted to Yeongwoo’s palm, which was wrapped around Cha Dooseong’s head.

It was because Cha Dooseong’s skull was shattered, causing his scalp to twist.

He was probably dead from that blow.

“...Ugh.”

As Yeongwoo shuddered and withdrew his hand from his opponent, Cha Dooseong’s hefty body slumped to the ground.

Boom!

Then, a beam of white light shot up from his head.

Paaaat!

It was evidence that the mutant had died.

“......”

Perhaps that was the mutant’s soul.

Yeongwoo watched until the light from Cha Dooseong’s body completely disappeared into the sky.

Then, shortly after.

Ping!

With a brief notification sound, the quest completion message appeared.

[Quest Completed – “Romanticism”]

[Reward Issued]

|3,000,000 Karma

As promised, the reward had been increased to 3,000,000 Karma, and once again, it was provided in the form of...

Swish!

A credit card.

“Huh?”

“Ugh...!”

As a piece of iron rapidly descended from the sky, everyone except Yeongwoo panicked.

To them, it seemed like a small blade was falling.

But Yeongwoo, who was already receiving his second reward, anticipated the location where the card would arrive and waited.

Thud.

He lightly picked up the card, which stopped precisely 1.5 meters above the ground.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

Then, the number 3,000,000 floated above the card.

“3 million...?”

Sure enough, Seocho’s Strongest Sword Choi Namhee, who sensed that it was some kind of payment, muttered with widened eyes.

Receiving 3 million in one lump sum was something that could only be encountered through the “Binary Choice” quest.

But this time, even before touching the golden orb, this distant Strongest Sword had somehow pulled money from somewhere.

“What is this? What in the world...?”

As if urging Yeongwoo to listen, Choi Namhee muttered aloud.

However, Yeongwoo didn’t have the confidence to explain to them about universal brands or anything like that.

“......”

He omitted an explanation about the “card” and placed his hand on the orb.

“I’ll invoke the Golden Ratio once again. Any objections?”

It was practically a notification from Yeongwoo.

Despite overlooking the fact that Yeongwoo had fought this battle entirely on his own, no one dared to raise objections to him, who was covered in blood.

And above all, even to the Strongest Swords, Yeongwoo seemed different.

‘Who is this person, and what is he doing...?’

Songpa’s Strongest Sword Oh Yeonhee’s gaze turned toward the sky where the card had been shot down from earlier.

Once you become a Strongest Sword who has killed a mutant three days in a row, it’s natural to develop curiosity about the structure of this world.

It was only natural that interest in Karma, the common currency of the reset world, would grow.

But to think that there was someone who received Karma falling from the sky...?

Something beyond curiosity was bound to arise.

“I guess Gwangjin-gu needs a lot of money to recover from the damage.”

In the end, Oh Yeonhee nodded on behalf of everyone in the audience, and Yeongwoo manipulated the golden orb upon seeing it.

*Chuckle!*

Moreover, there was something inside the partially open dimensional pouch of the golden goblin.

Probably the deceased’s belongings.

It was something that couldn’t be done as a human, but ironically, the golden goblin wasn’t human, nor was it even from Earth.

“P-Please wait!”

Though the 295th Gwangjin’s Strongest Sword came running belatedly to see them off...

Swoosh!

Yeongwoo had already left, just like an arrow shot by a goblin.

* * *

The current time, 4:14 PM.

Although he was in a precarious position riding on a horse from another world, Yeongwoo felt genuinely peaceful.

From being the roommate of Im Bonghee, the r*pist who hid his past, to the present, there had been too much going on.

And during all those events, Yeongwoo had never let his guard down, mainly because he was always in the position of the weak or the challenger.

But now...

Swoosh, swoosh!

As Negwig carrying Yeongwoo left a black trail and passed through the intersection of the Konkuk University entrance, the people standing by the roadside stared blankly at the spot where the unidentified object had passed, startled.

Although the speed was so fast, they couldn’t understand what they had just seen due to the strange appearance of the target.

Meanwhile, Yeongwoo felt a deep sense of relief that he was no longer under threat in this world, even if he caused a bit of trouble.

At least there would be no need to risk his life anymore, at least not today.

‘Until the grand announcement, there’s still over three hours left. I’ll take a break for once.’

Swoosh!

Passing through Konkuk University, crossing Dukseom Bridge, and finally reaching Gangnam via Cheongdam Bridge, Yeongwoo’s dilated pupils suddenly widened.

“Huh?”

People dressed in suits were lined up on both sides of the 1.2-kilometer-long Cheongdam Bridge.

‘Could they be Taewon Group employees?’

Of course, judging by the fact that some were leaning on the railing or sitting on the ground, they seemed to be taking a break.

Perhaps they had sent out surveillance teams to every bridge without knowing which one the new Gangnam Strongest Swords would use.

Regardless, as time passed, it became clear that they were Taewon Group employees.

Swoosh!

As Negwig made a grand entrance onto Cheongdam Bridge, the people who had been absent-mindedly standing there quickly reformed their ranks.

And most importantly...

Swoosh-

About 200 meters ahead, at the center of the bridge, seeing people struggling to raise something, it was clear.

Crackle!

『We welcome Jeong Yeongwoo’s inauguration as Gangnam’s Strongest Sword.』

– All executives and employees of Taewon Group

It was none other than a banner.

A welcome banner for Jeong Yeongwoo’s inauguration as Gangnam’s Strongest Sword in the reset world...

Although it was handwritten, it gave off a more corporate vibe because of it.

You could glimpse the stubbornness and desire to somehow implement something from the previous world.

“Welcome! Jeong Yeongwoo...!”

Soon, all the Taewon Group members bowed respectfully towards the Strongest Swords passing by on horseback, and Yeongwoo entered Gangnam like a victorious general.

At the same time, on the outskirts of Bugok-dong in Gumi City, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

A boy appeared, holding a long staff, in an area where the Gyeongbu Expressway connecting Gimcheon and Gumi passes through.

“Phew, it’s still the same here.”

His hands were full of calluses, and his legs seemed even more ruggedly used.

After glancing at the regional situation in the air, the boy looked at two red pillars dominating the airspace over Gumi.

Then.

“It seems the old man really went to Seoul.”

With a strange smile, he stretched his bare feet inward towards Gumi City.

|The current area you are in is ‘Gumi.’

|There is no Strongest Sword in this area.
