The Player Hides His Past Chapter 8

Episode 8. It’s simple.

The player community went into an uproar.

─Is the update true? ㅇㅇ The balance has been revamped

. ─Ahhh

How can

we catch Count Asscura?

In the news, there was no end to the story of the new update.

“AAU has revealed that Count Ascura is a vampire, or demon-type monster.”

“Even large guilds are showing reluctance. It’s an attitude that you can’t rush into a crack where the danger is obvious.”

I belatedly checked for updates.

And I was astonished.

‘…what level is 430?!’

Level 430 is higher than the current ranking, right?

It makes me want to cancel the remarks about being an inferior race.

Because that is not enough, they are called devils.

Among players, demons were difficult monsters to deal with.

In order to safely attack the demons.

It was a kind of common sense that they had to be at least 10 levels ahead of him.

therefore.

‘Did you update to attack this?’

There is bound to be a reaction like this!

Now I understand the chaos of the world.

It would be natural for the large guilds to react passively as it was obvious that they would lose money.

But look at each other like that and try to collapse the rift.

Then the gates of hell will open.

Of course I was fully aware.

───────

Natural Enemy Relations: Fighting power increases dramatically when fighting demons.

───────

A natural enemy relationship.

The effect of the demon hunter’s class skill is more amazing than I thought.

But wasn’t the imp only at level 200?

It was unimaginable to hunt Count Ascura, whose level surpassed that ship.

But that’s just the conclusion I, Lee Ho-yeol, made.

At this moment, my heart was beating as usual.

It was a heartbeat that said, “It doesn’t matter what kind of devil I become.”

『No devil’s temptations and trials of deception can even damage the lofty pride of Grandfel.』

Imps or vampires.

Furthermore, even in front of the Demon King.

This arrogant pride will never be broken.

It is literally a setting that hastens the death of Pom Saeng Pom Sa.

Of course, I had no intention of perishing in the pursuit of fashion.

as thin and long as possible.

that’s the life i want

‘No, wait.’

But at this moment, even my head can do it.

I was saying that.

A shiny quest window.

-Hunt the vampires. (In progress) ▲

●Notify that the hunt has begun. (In progress)

Looking at the goal of the quest brings back memories of the past.

I love the demon hunter’s demon hunting methods.

Because I remembered it again.

Thanks to that, I was convinced.

‘If I follow the quest like that time…’

He might really be able to hunt vampires.

that kind of confidence

A flower garden that is drawn in my mind for a moment.

How much experience would be gained by defeating Count Ascura?

Wouldn’t it give you a good item?

Oops, let’s not forget the class quest rewards.

However, there was not even a slight movement in the corner of my mouth.

Even the splendid flower garden I imagined was inferior to Grandfel’s family garden passing by.

To put it simply, it was all very natural.

It meant getting it right.

─New rift locations open!!! You say Russia?!

I said in a cold voice.

“I will punish you more severely considering the hassle of hiding.”

*

Wizard’s Tower.

Its interior was so mysterious that it was difficult to express.

“crazy. Isn’t it different from what it looks like?!”

A vast interior as if different laws of physics were being applied.

Countless books adorned the interior.

Among them, the spectacular was the ‘portal’ shining in the center.

“Russia. Look, there was no mage tower. Just imagining it is terrifying.”

“As expected, Master’s judgment was correct? It’s fortunate that we quickly settled down in Korea. Why look at Japanese or Chinese guilds? After being stubborn for no reason, I got on a plane and opened a Russian store.”

“Will it be a problem even if I get down? I heard it takes five hours by car from the airport.”

portal.

Massive teleportation magic.

As you can tell by looking at its effect, it belongs to high-ranking magic.

Among the players, those who can use portals can be counted on one hand.

Of course, it was impossible to compare the portals of the players to those of the Mage Tower.

“When will I ever use magic like this?”

“It wouldn’t be possible even if I reached max level?”

“…Full level? Is there a max level in Arcana?”

“No. So it would be impossible for the rest of my life.”

“Hey, you’re the one who says this.”

The players’ portal was only a means of emergency escape, not a means of transportation.

It was because the mana consumed to maintain the portal was no joke.

“But when are we going to ride the portal like this?”

The portal provided by the Mage Tower was not originally available for free.

However, just as the world has changed, so has the Mage Tower.

A large crowd gathered around the portal.

Above all, it was ‘Gaon’ that received the most attention.

“Has Gaon discovered the strategy for Count Ascura?”

“Why did you decide to go on an expedition before the other guilds?”

“Even if Gaon fails to attack, there are opinions that the information obtained through him should be shared with other guilds. What do you think?”

5th in the world.

Gaon, the best guild in Korea.

Guild Master Nam Tae-min answered the flood of questions.

“Sorry, but there is no strategy. Since when did we study the strategy and challenge the rift… Why did we decide to go on an expedition before other guilds? Of course, to stay ahead of the competition.”

As expected from the position, Nam Tae-min’s words were full of confidence.

“And what? Sharing strategy information to other guilds even if we fail? I’m sorry, but that won’t happen. It’s for the sake of the peace of mankind. If you twist it, I’d like to tell you to challenge the rift yourself like us. That’s what real peace is for. isn’t it?”

Even the press corps that had flocked to the scene were startled.

However, contrary to such a dignified attitude, Nam Tae-min’s stomach was burning.

Gaon bet a lot on this expedition.

‘It has to produce results.’

Because of the Wizard’s Tower, large guilds from around the world have flowed into Korea.

It may not be a good thing for the government or the people.

It wasn’t for Gaon.

It was because their position in Korea was decreasing day by day.

Gaon’s movement also stimulated other guilds.

Reporters groaned.

“…uh? Wait, isn’t it the Shining Guild?”

No. 1 in the world.

The strongest guild Shining in name and reality.

They led an expedition and appeared at the Mage Tower.

“Yes, you should come out like that.”

The Shining moved.

It was clear that other guilds would follow suit.

The reporters who had been driven by Nam Tae-min moved to Shining.

Only then did Nam Cheol-min approach and tap his younger brother on the shoulder.

“There is no need to rush. Anyway, it will be a long game.”

“I know. I’m just a little bit motivated.”

“Anyway, it is dynamic from the first day of work. Me too.”

“Hyung, I think it just exploded.”

Nam Cheol-min participated in this expedition as an analyst for the Gaon Guild.

I didn’t know that I would be involved in such a grandiose strategy from the beginning…

but I was faithful to my work as an analyst.

Even a parachute is fine.

I couldn’t hear the sound of the punctured parachute.

“I finished briefing the guild members.”

“briefing?”

“Yes, this new rift has a very unique arrangement.”

Nam Chul-min took out a tablet PC.

There were three overlapping circles drawn on it.

Chulmin Nam pointed to the outermost circle with his finger.

“This is the outer fissure of the manor. I didn’t draw it as a circle to look good, but hundreds of cracks were found in a really round shape.”

“…hundreds? Wait, what about the inner circle?”

“That’s a crack in the county’s estate. Is it a little smaller in size? That number is about 30.”

“Then the innermost circle must be the Count’s fort.”

Nam Cheol-min nodded.

“Yes, Count Ascura is in the innermost crack of the fortress.”

“Wait, how come it looks like a real castle…?”

“therefore. So that’s what I thought.”

“?”

Shuk─

Nam Chul-min touched the tablet.

Moving on to the next screen, a medieval castle came to mind.

“If the rift collapses, I wonder if the castle of Count Askura will be summoned.”

“…Hyung, isn’t that going too far?”

“What’s not going to happen? At the point where the Magic Tower is also created.”

“…”

Nam Tae-min couldn’t reply.

It was because there was nothing wrong with what he said.

But what is certain is that the rift is collapsing.

If Count Ascura’s castle is really summoned…

“…Isn’t there a possibility that it will go over to a siege?”

“Yeah, I’m worried about that too.”

“This crazy. Are you still in the middle of the day?!”

In Arcana, the defense side had an overwhelming advantage in siege warfare.

In this case, the defending side is, of course, Count Ascura.

Nam Tae-min was sure.

“At that time, it would be really impossible to attack.”

Nam Cheol-min shrugged his shoulders instead of answering.

The brother was silent for a moment.

Nam Tae-min opened his mouth first.

“I just have to do my best.”

“Good idea.”

“Hyung, do it with enthusiasm.”

“It’s because the first job was too heavy.”

Nam Cheol-min also had something to say.

“Right now, I thought I would do my best to recruit a rookie. I’m re-adjusting the contract and writing a letter politely again. Because of the sudden update…”

The rookie Nam Cheol-min is talking about here was, of course, passionate.

In fact, even at this moment, Nam Chul-min was concerned about Ho-yeol.

It was the same with Nam Tae-min.

“Write. Each player is precious in this strategy.”

“So I said to raise the ratio!”

“Hyung, it was 9.5 to 0.5. That we were 0.5! Where is the rate to increase? Buy a house, buy a car. We also support activity expenses. If the ratio is like that, it will take more than 10 years to collect…”

“I don’t know. It’s because of you.”

It’s just a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of

“Anyway, let’s get ready soon.”

The time has finally come to enter the portal.

After saying that, Nam Tae-min tilted his head.

“…What are you ready for?”

“The analyst has something to prepare.”

“No hyung, don’t you smoke?”

“Oh cigarettes?”

Nam Cheol-min smiled.

“I hung up. It’s because my worries are gone, so I can’t get my hands on it.”

I opened the closet.

The location of the new rift is Russia.

Currently, the average temperature in Russia is approximately 2 degrees Celsius.

It is advisable to choose thick clothes.

But I was in a suit.

This must also be due to the setting where you can’t die because of formality and dignity.

Let’s adapt. We have no choice but to adapt.

I’m glad though

The few jackets were quite thick.

I checked my reflection in the mirror.

As if she had been silver haired since birth.

There was no trace of black in his hair.

The face also changed.

His facial features couldn’t be changed like his hair, but maybe it was because his eyes changed.

I could feel the atmosphere on my face was different from before.

His physique became stronger as he repeated the training quest.

The generous suit fit like a tailored suit.

Because of his noble taste, he strictly followed his diet.

Noticeable muscle growth is natural.

I looked at myself in the mirror and said.

“It’s me.”

Yes, I know that this changed image is also me.

It didn’t look like anyone else.

Because this was the dark history of me, Lee Ho-yeol.

Knowing that fact, I have no hesitation in my actions.

The preparations are over.

I’m going to Russia

To do so, I headed to the Wizard’s Tower.

…wait for a sec.

“I almost forgot.”

I was about to put on my shoes and leave the front door when I stopped.

I opened the cupboard and took a handful of barley green tea tea bags.

I put it in my jacket pocket.

…Yes, I must be the one who can’t live and die at tea time.

Of course, it was not possible to brew green tea only with tea.

But it didn’t matter.

Because I was able to “explore”, “interfere” and “appear”.

Yes, I was told that I had succeeded in manifesting 『magic』.

I looked at the teacup on the table and said.

“I don’t even need a teacup.”

The stack of paper stacked next to the teacup is proof of that.

.

.

.

I arrived at the magic tower.

I looked at the brilliantly shining portal.

“!”

High-ranking magic “portal” said that even among players, those who can use it are counted on one hand.

It is also a portal manifested by the NPCs of the Mage Tower comparable to the Archmage.

however.

‘Why?’

To my eyes, that high-level magic

looked simpler than the ‘ignition’ I saw on Nettube.
