How to grow a dead person (1)

[Level A and above players, please quit your job and gather in the top-floor penthouse right now.]

huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

The cell phone vibrated.

A brief convening order was issued, omitting the postwar circumstances.

Damn, you're busy, so why an emergency call?

Don't talk. I was in the middle of a raid.

Kaak Heon! No matter how hard it is, it's supposed to be hard, but it's getting worse these days, isn't it?

The players belonging to the Black Crow Guild gathered around the building while grunting.

quiet inside.

Small glass fragments remaining on the floor.

It was different from usual.

Everyone tilted their heads.

Why are you here today?

"This is our building right?"

A deep sense of discomfort arose.

I instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Rumble!

And the moment you open the door and step inside.

An ominous feeling turned into certainty.

Hey, how did this happen?

Geonsu-hyung!

Healer... Heal right away! Right now!

The person lying on the floor covered in blood was none other than the guild master, Shin Geon-su.

It's already too late. It's been at least a few hours since I stopped breathing...

Healer, who was examining Shin Geon-soo's condition, shook his head.

He didn't know how to heal wounds, but reviving the dead wasn't something a healer could do.

The guild leader is dead.

if so.

Who gave the emergency call-up order?

Everyone's eyes turned to another person in the room.

It was Kim Hee-woong, Shin Gun-soo's secretary.

His anger soared as he fixed his glasses with an anxious face.

Kim Hee-woong!

One player takes out a weapon.

uuung !

A window over 2m was revealed in the subspace inventory.

A sharp weapon was extended toward Kim Hee-woong's neck.

Don't miss a thing, tell me what happened! Right now!

"Haha well, how did that happen?"

Kim Hee-woong glanced to the side as if in trouble.

Exactly, facing under the table.

Who else is there? When everyone thought so.

jerk.

A white-haired girl who looked very young appeared from under the table.

Long silver hair and red eyes are impressive.

She was a girl with a strange atmosphere.

ha.

The girl scratched her head in annoyance.

It was exuding terrible death from all kinds of weapons, but as if he didn't care about anything like that.

Were you surprised by that carefree look?

It's ridiculous. Did you believe in a little boy like this?

The spearman clicked his tongue.

right at that moment.

fast and

A tendon grew on Alice's forehead.

Kid kid? Little kid?

kukuku kuk kuk!

It was then that the red mana began to overflow.

[[Lv??]

'Blood Territory' is activated!]

The living thing that had been taut in the room disappeared in an instant.

A cold feeling as if all the blood vessels in the body would freeze.

Among them, there were players who had participated in the 1st floor boss raid before, but .

It wasn't even compared.

it's totally different

Oh my gosh...

Mu, what mana?

"Hey, it's a monster."

Rumble!

The players were frozen in place and their whole body trembled.

No one dared to even think of running away.

"Wow, you have to be patient. Did the CEO tell you not to kill him if possible?"

Kim Hee-woong was also embarrassed.

You will need core resources for the operation of the guild.

Jinhyeok ordered the rankers to be preserved as much as possible.

However.

What do you know? Didn't you hear what they said to me now?

Elise's reason had long since been cut off.

As if complaining about the accumulated stress.

A huge mana exploded.

Aww!

All the windows in the building were smashed.

Awakened Association in Seocho-dong.

To prove that he passed the second test, Jinhyuk came to this place first.

1:00 pm.

It was exactly the promised time.

Jinhyuk looked around after checking his smartphone.

'The time has come to come... .'

That's when I thought so.

brother!

Brother! Here it is. Here!

Two people approached by the entrance waving their hands.

It was Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa.

Considering the time period, it didn't take long before we met again.

But why?

Jinhyuk was really happy with the two of them.

You came just in time. How have you been?

We had a good time. We succeeded in capturing one of the B-class labyrinths on the second floor!

Taemin shrugged his shoulders.

The level has risen quite a bit. I really didn't sleep and hunted hard.

Yoo Yeon-hwa also made an expression that seemed to ask for praise.

exactly.

The mana felt from the two of them was different.

Not only did the overall amount increase, but the concentration of mana also increased.

It looks like you sent it in a spectacular way.

Ah. Not like my brother.

Huh?

Don't pretend you don't know. The video uploaded to the 'Hall of Fame' yesterday. That's your brother, isn't it?

Yoo Yeon-hwa poked Jin-hyuk's side with his elbow.

Taemin Lee also added a word.

Hyung. But, why are you wearing a mask? It's not like I've been getting 2 bottles of middle school... isn't it?

It was because of personal circumstances. More than that are you that offended?

Can you guess with just one mask?

No, rather than that, isn't it too much to be tied to the middle school disease?

There was no denying that it was once my taste.

somehow sad

Because the only person left behind to attack the ruins is my brother. I noticed it right away.

Actually, the moment I saw the news, I thought it was your brother.

Ah...! Was it like that?

Jinhyuk's expression, which had been gloomy, was wide open.

thank God.

In many ways... .

By the way bro, really

[Tower of Trials]

"Isn't it true that you ended at the same time as us?"

I'm not at the level of memorizing patterns after watching the video

[Tower of Trials]

"It was like hitting the producer in the face "

The two looked at Jinhyuk with eyes mixed with suspicion and awe.

It's an annoying look.

But, that's the only thing that can't be done.

now

[Tower of Trials]

The community was on the verge of exploding because of the video uploaded yesterday.

The attack on the 3rd floor boss failed and the ruins considered impenetrable.

As the two major events interlocked, a lot of people's attention was focused on the masked player.

who is his true identity.

In the past, how many floors have you climbed to the top of the tower?

Which guild do you belong to?

Favorite food and hobbies, of course, even the color of the panties I'm wearing today was the subject of interest.

'The reaction is intense.'

Jinhyuk smirked.

It was roughly what I expected, but it exceeded my expectations.

'great.'

If these conditions are met, it will be easier to act in the future.

with myself in a mask.

himself without a mask.

Living two lives like this.

'Both of them are top-notch.'

1st and 2nd place in the world rankings.

At first glance, they may appear to be different people, but in reality they are the same person.

'Use those two conditions to take advantage of all the gains.'

pounding! pounding! pounding!

As he thought about the countless plans he had in mind, Jinhyuk felt his heart start beating faster little by little.

at that time.

Brother? Answer me. Seriously, how many floors have you been up to?

Hey. You shouldn't ask questions like that. Be honest. Oppa, are you one of the game executives?

Sister, isn't that a bit too far?

No. Otherwise, how would you explain it moving to such a stagnant, rotten level?

...from what I've heard, it seems to make sense.

I don't know how the story got here.

It would be fun to watch the two of them spread their imaginations, but... .

sorry.

Jinhyuk smiled brightly.

At the same time, I showed the screen of the smartphone to two people.

[Please come to report the results of the second test by 1:15 PM.]

Perhaps it was the day without the awakening test, so the inside of the association was quite quiet.

Jinhyuk arrived at the information desk and took out his ID.

I came to receive a confirmation that the second test passed.

Yeah, wait a minute.

A female employee was handed over Jinhyuk's ID.

By the way.

"Uh ? Kang Jin Hyuk?"

A surprised expression like a rabbit.

The female employee looked at the ID card and Jinhyuk alternately, and then jumped up from her seat.

Would you please wait a minute?

Yes?

Wait a minute. Don't go anywhere, you have to wait.

A female employee who has nothing to say and runs to somewhere in a hurry.

It happened so quickly that Jinhyuk couldn't even respond.

and after a while.

It was a middle-aged man with a sharp impression who came with a female employee.

'This is quite surprising.'

Jinhyuk's eyes narrowed.

How could you not know?

Chairman of the Awakened Association, Sangjin Han.

A person who oversees the players in Korea.

[Lv2 'Eyes of Truth' is activated.]

The eyes of truth pierced the opponent's status window.

T-tiring!

[Copy conditions: The copy conditions were not updated due to an error.]

It was when Jinhyuk had just read the status window and copy conditions.

I was waiting for you to come. Jinhyuk Kang player.

Han Sang-jin, who came right in front of me, asked for a handshake.

shit.

For some reason, I think it's going to hurt my head... .

no doubt

Han Sang-jin's eyes. It's like a beast looking for prey.

'But if you stand still, you'll become a fool with a path left in the Eastern Court of Courtesy.'

Whoa.

can't do it

But Jinhyuk, who was about to reach out his hand, stopped.

I pondered what Han Sang-jin just said.

Something is strange.

In conversation I felt a deep sense of disparity.

for a moment,

wait for a sec.

'You were waiting for me to come?'

Only one examiner knows the true measure of the first test.

To the rest, you are just one of the F ranks lying on the street.

'For the lowest-ranking players... Does the president of the association act directly?'

Doesn't that make sense?

That doesn't mean the examiner could have opened his mouth.

As long as the 'Stigma of the Soul' is engraved, the truth will be turned to ashes as soon as you tell the truth.

It's fun.

You're saying they're prepared enough to deceive the 'eyes' this time, right?

Jinhyuk smirked.

Hey.

"Yes? Suddenly Why are you doing this?"

Han Sang-jin's face was stained with embarrassment.

I have no choice but to talk nonsense out of nowhere.

However, Jinhyuk's expression was still cold.

Stop acting clumsy and release the barrier. Right now.

What kind of barrier is that...

"Player Jinhyuk Kang. What are you doing to the president of the association?"

If I tell you this, will you pretend you don't know?

The corners of Jinhyuk's mouth went up even more.

If you're going to go down the dirt road rather than the easy way.

Jinhyeok pulled out his dagger in an instant and shrugged his shoulders.

And threw it towards the ceiling.

Wedge lover!

The dagger that flew through the wind was lodged in the ceiling.

To be precise, it was embedded in the 'visible' with the ceiling.

That moment.

Pants!

The space was distorted, and a gentle wave appeared on the transparent membrane.
