Return of the Frozen Player 420
Arcade Center (5)
[You have won the Underground Octagon match.]
[I got 500 points as a reward.]
“hmm.
Ramadat Kali nodded with a satisfied expression.
It was the first point that Junho got after he beat him with a mean, despicable and unmanly trick.
‘Wait, but five hundred points at once?’
This was the same amount as the original 1st place reward in the arcade.
He stroked his thick chin.
‘Perhaps the reward is set high because of the fact that you can acquire the title of loser?’
The worry was short, and the decision was quick.
‘Anyway, the upper game is tiring, so I can’t keep fighting here?’
Thinking like that, the underground octagon started to feel as cozy as my own home.
It seems that there will be less muscle loss this way than sitting still at the top.
Did you understand what he meant? A message popped up.
[Would you like to be a player in the Underground Octagon?]
[When registering as a player, you can continue to fight until you are satisfied.]
[If you lose during player registration, you will not get the title of ‘Loser’.]
[However, you will not be able to refuse the challenge and you will not be able to leave the Octagon until you collapse from exhaustion.]
For a man who likes to fight, this proposal is truly tempting.
Ramadat never looked back
Nodded the dog.
“It’s good!”
When Seo Jun-ho and Skaya clear the vacant lot area, and Ramadat reigns as the King of the Octagon.
Gilberto, Cha Si-eun, and Mio were having a conversation with quite serious expressions.
“There is no exit?”
“yes. How many times have you checked
all.”
“Me too. I think I checked all the areas, but I can’t see the exit.”
Gilberto immediately raised his head.
‘Eagle’s eye.’
The expanded field of view, like an expensive lens, covered all the building ceilings.
‘A lot. There are too many of them.’
After canceling his ability, he let out a small breath.
“This is getting more and more sinister.”
“Why?”
“There are a lot of surveillance cameras. Hundreds are enough.”
As if not giving even the tiniest blind spot, cameras were tightly attached.
“I think I should meet Junho and Skaya.”
“Oh, the last time I saw you two was in the clearing area.”
With Cha Si-eun’s tip, they moved toward the vacant lot area.
Around that time, Ple stopped by the shopping district.
The grumbling voices of the ears came from here and there.
“No, what’s the quality of the store stuff like?”
“therefore. I was thinking of a manager’s shop on the second floor, but I’m very disappointed.”
“Even weapons and armor are trash that can’t be used right away.”
“Aside from rare magic ingredients, all of them are obscure items?”
The more he heard the story, the more Gilberto’s suspicion grew.
‘Is this really a space for players?’
It’s still too early to make a judgment.
Gilberto hurriedly moved before the other players had doubts.
“Oh, who is this? Even Gilbe and Mie Si-eun?”
“Oh, this is a fresh combination. My score is ~”
After discovering Seo Jun-ho and Skaya, Gilbe opened his mouth.
“Junho, Skaya. Let’s talk for a minute.”
The two people, questioning his serious expression, headed for a corner seat.
At the same time, Skaja casts some magic.
“You won’t see or hear it around you. What the hell happened to you so serious?”
“There is no exit.”
The two people’s eyes widened at that straightforward statement.
“There is no exit?”
“Did you check everything thoroughly?”
“At least there is no common exit
It is certainly.”
“… … wait.”
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Skaya drew a spell in the air.
“Detect. Stairs, doors, elevators.”
The magic power received from her command spread in all directions.
After a while, when the mana returned, a heavy sigh escaped from her mouth.
“Haha, not really. The only doors that can be hit by detection magic are the one that leads to the basement and the shop door.”
“Then it is true that there is no exit.
is that.”
As Seo Jun-ho’s eyes slightly furrowed, Gilberto said.
“Junho, I don’t think this place is a huge trap.”
“what? what do you mean?”
“Think carefully. What are the benefits the players get here.”
“Yeah..”
In his case, his abilities rose due to ‘The One Who Opens Spring’.
But for other players
There is only one point.
Even that isn’t very useful.
Because there weren’t that many things to buy in the store.
“But there were obvious losses.”
Bottom 10%.
The bottom 10% of the hundreds of thousands of players who have visited this place is tens of thousands.
They were banished from this place only after receiving a penalty of 10% reduction in all stats for one year.
Come to think of it, this was no joke.
It felt as if this entire floor wanted a power leak from the players.
“Listening to what Gilbe said, I can feel this, true malice, right?”
“Jun Ho. Who do you think would have done this?”
“It’s obvious.”
It’s bullying the player, is there any other demons out there?
The problem was that part.
“I didn’t expect the demons to be able to intervene in the system.”
If the entire 5.5th floor is a huge trap.
They should be seen as casting the bait from the moment the player attacked the 5th floor.
‘Intentionally delayed the opening of the 6th floor, and opened the 5.5th floor first, forcing me to come here.’
If so, what is their true goal?
Simply reducing all players’ stats by 10%?
“… … no. That would be an additional goal.”
Seo Jun-ho’s eyes changed.
Even the demons aren’t soft bastards who just play around like this.
Compared to them, it was clear that the demons were far more cunning and far more cruel.
“I don’t feel good.”
I had a ‘gut feeling’ that I had to go back as soon as possible.
It felt like this wasn’t the end, but like a stepping stone to a great beginning.
peel.
“The problem is the other players.”
Cha Si-eun opened her mouth.
As she said, until a moment ago, the players were frantic about earning points.
Maybe that’s why no one bothered to leave this place.
But not now.
“Suddenly, the players are starting to get tired of it.”
“I realized that if I had to earn points, there weren’t many things I could buy at the store.
just because.”
“Then it’s obvious what to do now.”
will want to go back
to their homes or hunting grounds.
But what if you realize you can’t get out of here?
” under.”
It was scary for Seo Jun-ho to touch his throbbing forehead.
A commotion started happening here and there.
“Tsk. Let’s just stop here for today and go back.”
“Wait, but how do I get out?”
“There must be a door or an elevator somewhere.”
“I’ve never seen one, have you?”
“no. me too… …
It was an instant that the players fell into confusion.
And Seo Jun-ho’s eyes watching them also cooled down.
“Skaya, from now on you are a demon.”
“Eh?”
The group showed puzzled expressions
After a while, Seo Jun-ho asked.
“So think like a demon. What do you think you will do when the players are in chaos?”
Skaya closed her eyes and pondered over and over again.
What if you are a demon, hostile to players, and able to intervene in the system to some extent?
The answer came easily.
“If it were me, I would encourage it somehow. Let the players take each other’s lives.”
“As expected.”
Seo Jun-ho, biting his lip slightly, began preparing for a huge waveform in the upcoming fall.
“Then stop the players from fighting as much as possible. That is what we have to do.”
“Junho, to be honest, it is not enough for us to stop hundreds of thousands of people from fighting.”
“So we need to find an assistant.”
It is not enough to simply have high combat power.
They must be people whose every word has a huge influence.
Fortunately, there were quite a few people here who could provide such help.
“It’s dark… … ! Dark… …
Moans mixed with pain flowed from the closed cave.
“Our poor lord. You must be very sick.”
As Isaac Debord muttered pitifully, something fell beside him.
Isaac glanced at the source of the sound and was delighted.
“You’ve been hunting pigs today.”
“I do the cleaning and cooking.”
As the chef happily dragged the pig away, Valencia glared at Isaac.
“Isaac. When you brought the inner core chip, couldn’t you bring the system chip as well?”
“I have told you several times, but unfortunately, your lord has not issued such an order.”
There was nothing wrong with his words, but the displeasure did not go away.
‘Even if Isaac only brought the system chip back then.’
Not only had the lord never had to go through something like that, but rather, he could have killed the dimwit.
“It seems that you are very angry with me, Ms. Xia.”
Feeling alive, Isaac smiled softly.
“You don’t think of the team. Your fun is always a priority. I don’t like that.”
“Is that why you want to kill me?”
“But won’t your lord be offended if your subordinate is dead when you come out of Jeongyang?”
“… … know. That’s why I’m keeping you alive.”
“Thank you. Aren’t you eating?”
“You eat too much. You stupid magician.”
As Valencia left, Isaac chuckled.
He looked up at the sky and murmured.
“Suddenly, the colonel and the king of corpses will also move.”
Their latest operation will be different from regular terror attacks.
The Mine Association receives orders from the Demons,
Because it was part of the ‘plan’ that was busy moving on the frontier.
“Sorry.”
I can’t fit into the position that will be the ‘first’ page of the history book.
Isaac Debord was truly sorry.
“Hee! I-I will abstain!”
“hmm. Abstain again?”
Ramadat Kali was dissatisfied.
I became a player in the underground octagon because I wanted to warm up a little, but there was no one to fight properly.
‘Everyone is weak.’
When I was active, there were a lot more hot guys who would bump into me whether it was porridge or rice.
[You have won the Underground Octagon match.]
[32 wins in a row. I got 800 points as a reward.]
“Tsk.”
Even after thinking about it for the first time in a while, I couldn’t use it even if I collected a lot of points.
Because he was registered as an octagon player and couldn’t leave here.
‘I don’t like it.’
A system message popped up every time he tried to get out of the octagon.
[You are a registered player in the Underground Octagon.]
[You cannot leave the Octagon until you collapse from exhaustion.]
“Sounds funny.”
Then, what is the sound of menstruation being solved here and sleep growing here?
Ramadat snorted and shook his head.
“Whether I take all the points or not, I’m going to leave. I am hungry.”
He rips through the bars of the Octagon with force.
moment to get off.
“Excuse me, but that won’t work. Please come back and continue the game.”
soft voice.
And a vicious spirit that didn’t match him.
“Okay, it’s about time we came up with a guy who could sweat a little.”
Ramadat smiled, revealing his teeth, and slowly turned around.
But the moment I saw the man in the white suit with his hands behind his back, I couldn’t help but frown.
“ok? what… … You, you are not a player.”
Because what flowed out of the man’s body was clearly ‘magical energy’.
