Chapter 219

The one player remaining from Royce Village didn’t think to fight Min Sung and plopped down on his knees with a blank face.

He looked up at Min Sung with the desperation to survive and trembled.

Min Sung walked over to the kneeling player while making clanging noises due to his armor.

“P-p-please don’t kill me. I’ll do anything. Please…”

Whoosh!

Slash!

Min Sung’s Gungnir stabbed through the player’s skull.

Blood poured down the player’s face.

Fwip, clang!

Min Sung put away his equipment without a word and put his Gungnir in his item window as well.

[The Dionysus Gods are amazed by your battling skills.]

[The gods are finally gifting you with experience points again.]

[Your honor has increased.]

[You have a new quest.]

[Find the lowest ranker and claim their position through battle.]

[Once you become a low ranker, you’ll be able to attempt D-level quests, allowing you to rank up quickly.]

[The gods are showing more interest due to your refreshing battle.]

[You have been favorited by a total of 802 gods.]

[You have a total of +12000 experience points.]

[You’ve been chosen for a special event provided to popular players.]

[If you use +10000 experience points, you’ll be able to buy all sorts of kills, techniques, and option abilities.]

[Would you like to purchase?]

[Accept/Reject]

He happened to have +12000 experience points.

So he didn’t have a reason to turn it down.

When it came to battles, the items one possessed were the most important.

Min Sung touched accept without having to think about it.

[You’ve used +10000 experience points to have the option ability.]

[You have +2000 points remaining.]

***

Around Min Sung were many players’ bodies laid out in treacherous states.

Ho Sung Lee shuddered at the sight as well as Min Sung.

Since it was a ranker’s world, it was a fierce place.

Even if the bodies didn’t belong to rankers, they were strong enough to enter this place.

But he defeated them effortlessly.

He couldn’t grasp just how powerful Min Sung Kang was.

At this rate, he could climb up the ranks and become the top-ranking ranker in Beatrice.

“Ho Sung.”

In response, Ho Sung Lee ran over right away.

“Yes, Sir.”

“We have a new quest. We have to find the lowest ranker and get rid of them. Look into accommodations and find information on the lowest ranker. Can you do that?”

“Yes, Sir.”

Ho Sung Lee had also grown through experience points after coming to Beatrice with Min Sung.

Compared to Min Sung, Ho Sung Lee was weak, but he was still collecting experience points.

“Sir, did you use the experience points that the gods gave you?”

“Yeah.”

“Oh, so that’s how you killed them all so easily, but how many experience points did you get…?”

“Including what I got today, around 60,000 points.”

Ho Sung Lee looked at Min Sung in shock.

“60,000 points? Wow… That’s crazy.”

Ho Sung Lee shook his head.

He had only received 100 points up until now.

But Min Sung received 60,000 points.

Ho Sung Lee gulped.

He was at another level.

“Please wait while I look for an accommodation.”

Min Sung nodded.

Min Sung watched Ho Sung Lee walk off as he expanded his senses.

He had to check if anyone was watching from his surroundings.

Since he had extraordinary senses, he was able to accurately scan his surroundings.

But even then, it was difficult to find players with those senses.

No matter how small the village was, how could there only be 10 players in Royce Village?

That didn’t make sense.

There had to be more.

If Min Sung’s prediction was correct, he wasn’t going to catch all of the players, and just leave them alone.

His reputation would increase faster that way.

***

The lowest ranker, ‘Oden’.

He squinted at the system message he saw while lying in bed.

[A challenger has arrived.]

Oden put a thick cigarette in his mouth and knitted his brows.

After becoming a ranker, he had been the lowest ranker for a very long time.

So this wasn’t the first time he faced off against a challenger.

“Huu!”

The lowest ranker, Oden breathed out the smoke and got out of the bed covered in women.

He looked out the window into the village without putting on a single piece of clothing.

“Who is it this time?”

His face grew dark as he looked out into the scenery.

He was sick and tired of it.

***

While Ho Sung Lee looked for an accommodation, Min Sung opened the item shop and looked at which option items were available for purchase.

As soon as he checked which items were available, Min Sung was able to confirm that he was wise to buy the option ability.

There were many items that were useful for battle.

He wasn’t going to buy them right away, but he kept in mind which ones he would buy later on.

He even checked which technique items he would buy also.

Once he finished looking through the shop, Ho Sung Lee returned.

“Sir, I found a place to stay, but it’s a little shabby. Is that okay?”

“I don’t care. Lead the way.”

“Sure. Right this way.”

Ho Sung Lee led the way.

***

Just as Ho Sung Lee said, the accommodation wasn’t in good condition.

The house looked like it was about to tumble down, but the reason why Ho Sung Lee chose this place was because it had the cleanest looking bed.

He didn’t have to go and check in person to know that no accommodation in the area was better.

“I’m going to go and look for information about rankers now.”

“Take Bowl with you.”

Min Sung tapped on the pocket where Bowl was in.

Bowl, who was sleeping, groaned as he crawled out.

Ho Sung Lee carried Bowl in his hand and said, “We’ll be back.”

They then headed out of the accommodation.

***

While the lowest ranker, Oden, checked his equipment, his subordinates came to greet him.

“What did you find out?”

“We were able to find him quickly because of the ruckus he caused in Royce Village.”

“Royce Village?”

Oden squinted his eyes and looked at his subordinate.

Royce Village was where all the players started out, and where all the homeless people were gathered.

But that wasn’t what made Oden react.

“So a new player showed up and caused a commotion?”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Ha…”

Oden laughed.

“How many of them?”

Oden asked as he put all of his equipment in his item window.

“Just one.”

“No guild?”

“No, Sir.”

Oden smirked.

“Then this will be easy. Send him an invitation.”

In response, the subordinate bowed his head.

***

He looked for places to hunt using the system map, but Royce Village was empty.

There was no place to hunt, and the place was empty, and the map itself was so small that they couldn’t check the areas outside of it.

Unlike in Newtie City, the system map no longer showed them the directions in Royce Village.

Unlike Newtie City where the interface gave them all sorts of information, they were given almost none after arriving in Royce Village.

If the information Ho Sung Lee came back with were poor, Min Sung intended to explore the surrounding areas himself.

If he used Ssol, who was very fast, it probably wasn’t going to take long to find his way.

After all, Ssol was very, very fast.

Min Sung patted Ssol on the head as he snored away on the bed.

***

Anchor followed Oden’s, the lowest ranker, orders and arrived in Royce Village in order to deliver the invitation to Min Sung.

As soon as he entered the village, he knitted his brows.

The slums were always unpleasant.

He almost felt as if he jumped into a toilet.

Anchor was accompanied by three subordinates, and his outfit was very classy compared to the natives of Royce Village.

He was sensitive to fashion, and he cared deeply about quality.

He headed to Min Sung’s house with an expression on his face that said he was worried something dirty was going to get on his outfit.

The three subordinates of Anchor asked the natives about the new player’s whereabouts.

On their way to the accommodation that they mentioned, they ran into a man.

It was Ho Sung Lee.

“I’m sorry, but I have a question for you.”

Ho Sung Lee stood in Anchor’s way.

Since he looked like a player he had never seen before, he exchanged glances with his subordinates and then looked at Ho Sung Lee.

“Do you know anything about the lowest ranker?” Ho Sung Lee asked.

Anchor and his three subordinates grew tense.

They were certain.

This person was the one who challenged their superior, Oden.

Anchor scanned Ho Sung Lee up and down.

Most of the players who came here gave off quite the presence, but the man in front of him looked plain.

On the other hand, Ho Sung Lee knitted his brows at Anchor.

“Hello?”

Anchor immediately used his interface system to send the lowest ranker, Oden, a message.

He told him that the man didn’t look as strong as they thought.

And they received an immediate response.
