The King of Violence Returns (1)
Wow!
A metal capsule, which looked like a large monster’s egg, opened, and a man groaned and got her body up.
“Dogs! You play the game!”
Quang!
And as if something angry had happened, the expensive capsules were kicking as they broke.
His name is Youngmin Kwon. He was ranked 73rd in The Road ranking, which has been shaking the world for several years, and was the only SSS-level ranker and the only solo player to receive the title of ‘King’.
The King of Violence, Lokan.
There was only one reason why the 73rd place was given such a grand name.
Because ranking was just a criterion for judging based only on level. It is a different concept from actual combat power.
So users set different standards. From D-Class to SSS-Class. This was another ranking established by users based on their combat power.
In that ranking, Rokhan’s ranking is SSS-class. It meant that he was stronger than anyone else.
At least, it was the public opinion toward him that he was stronger than anyone who played solo without joining a guild.
In other games, an individual can never surpass a group, but The Road was different. If you make a great achievement, you can get powerful power, and even as an individual, you can compete with the guild.
The Lord.
Become an absolute, immortal, untouchable by no one!
That was the goal of the game The Road from the beginning.
In order to become a person worthy of that word, Youngmin has set countless achievements in the game. He devoted everything to the game.
And he was so strong that he could not bend.
If you tried to hold it, you broke it, and if you tried to stop it, you broke it. Thus he imprinted the power of violence all over his body.
That was his way.
At first, everyone looked down on him, but as more and more people were smashed by his hand, his evaluation changed. Whether it’s a level down or something more than that, anyone has to lose money if he confronts his blunt and ruthless playstyle. Even the guild, which was called the narrowest, had no choice but to give him a hand and yield.
He was reigning over the Lord as the king of violence.
“Fuck!”
But that is until today. For some reason, the upper guilds suddenly acted and began to drive him.
It started with him.
The king of creation.
It started when he suddenly appeared and got caught up in a one-on-one confrontation.
Although he was in a position to be called the same king, the difference in skill was striking when he got to know each other. No, the difference in specs is huge. He was Young-min who was confident he would not lose to anyone in a one-on-one situation, but there was a difference between him and the guy who grew up by taking over all the first titles from the beginning of the game, and he couldn’t even dare to fight again.
The problem was after that. After being killed by him, the other kings and higher guilds issued an order to kill him and went on an infinite hunt.
I didn’t even ask why. He couldn’t do anything in the village, which is a resurrection area and safety zone, but as soon as he left the village, everyone flocked to him like a herd of Seungnyang and bit him.
Of course, Lokan did not sit still and suffer. As he lives up to his reputation as the King of Violence, each time he dies, he has at least ten decapitated. Considering that he was besieged by as few as fifty or more than one hundred people, it was truly surprising that he alone killed ten of the top-level rankers. This was possible because it was The Rod.However, even such a Rokkan had no choice but to attack with their intentions.
“You’re trying to open up a cause for justice!”
What is more exciting than anything else is that the higher guilds distorted facts and manipulated public opinion to create justice or a cause that even ordinary users passed over. Even though it was a crude and absurd operation that showed that he was just eager to fight at first glance, the truth would be revealed if he looked closely, but no one wanted to see it. Rather, he was only planning to report his location and get a reward from the guilds.
In that situation, the only thing Rokhan could trust was his own strength.
“Dogs.”
As always.
Die, kill, kill and kill again.
It didn’t matter if the level dropped a bit. Because it was his style to chase down the enemy and kill the enemy with just one weapon.
If you kill and kill like that, the enemy will get tired of it first and fall out.
“I will go to the end, this is it”
But that didn’t work this time either. Even though he counted hundreds of users who died at the hands of Lokan, there was no message encouraging negotiations or surrender.
is going to the end.
Rokhan had no intention of succumbing to such an act.
“Kaak, whoa! Okay, let’s see who gives up first. I guess I was called the king of violence for nothing.”
Youngmin drank a bowl of cold water at once and went back into the capsule.
Then he became Lokan and started running rampant again.
If he did not lose any more items, he would be able to sell the items and equipment he had collected so far and still be able to touch a fairly large sum of money.
But it can’t. Because The Lord was his everything.
There was nothing left in his life, except for more rods. For him, The Road was life itself, pouring out everything including youth, passion, and human relationships.
So he went on to buy his equipment and go to the battlefield. He repeated the endless slaughter of death and killing countless times.
Finally, violence was carved into every corner of their body and mind.
“Aww!”
In the end, on the battlefield where there was nothing left, Lokan, weakened, cried out in vain.
That night, thunder and lightning struck the city center along with a terrible torrential rain, resulting in a massive power outage.
* * *
“Aww… … .”
Youngmin, who had opened his eyes to the loud sound of the alarm clock, frowned. It was difficult not only to feel his head hurting like a hangover, but also to recall the memories of the previous day.
“These bastards… … .”
He died a lot, but he killed quite a few. Hundreds, even the top-ranked 100 people, have been sent to the goal, so they will have a hard time recovering their level. Guilds that suffered badly would probably have gone down to the guild rankings.
‘What should I do now… … .’
Some of the guys I was particularly fond of went looking for them and took their heads off them. Even using expensive invisibility scrolls.
But now it’s all over.
lost everything
The status of the SSS ranker, the name of the King of Violence, and all the items he had.
Everything is gone.
He made a lot of money through The Road, but it is Youngmin who poured all his money into The Road except for the minimum living expenses. After losing all of that, Youngmin has nothing left.
I was worried about the immediate cost of living, but it felt like my whole life was being denied.
When the headache got better, Youngmin, who was frustrated, noticed something while trying to get up.
“uh… … ”
The capsule that was supposed to be right next to the sleeping area was gone.
“Did I ask for a recall right yesterday? No, this is… … .”
Even if I requested to retrieve it, they didn’t even open the door, so there’s no way they could have taken it out while I was sleeping.
And above all, this was not where he lived.
“How did this happen?”
The space is strangely familiar. This was the university room where he lived a few years ago.
It was very confusing as to what the hidden camera was. Obviously he… … .
“Ugh!”
My head hurts again.
Tick.
Just in time, the phone rang. The caller is Chan-up, a college classmate. I drank too much the day before, but it was a chat whether I went well.
When he confirmed the name he had been wishing for for a while because he was engrossed in the game, his memory came to life. In addition, the date displayed on the smartphone caught my eye.
May 12, 2018.
The day of black history when the girlfriend, whom I thought only waited for until discharged from the military, was actually having an affair with her other person, and fought and cried and ran every single time, and finally got kicked and drank with a shake because she wanted to get drunk!
“no way… … It wasn’t all a dream.”
What’s even more dizzying is that all of this was already a few years ago.
What the hell is this? what happened
I wonder if these guys are joking around with a group because they haven’t seen their faces for a while? … .
Confused, Youngmin hurriedly puts on his clothes and goes outside. Then he recklessly went into a nearby convenience store, picked up anything, approached the counter, and asked the part-timer.
“Hey, what year, month, day is today?”
“maybe… … May 12th.”
“What year is it?”
“Yeah, it’s 2018, of course.”
When I asked about the year, the part-timer looked at him with an expression as if he was going to see a strange person. It was an expression of ‘Is the young man getting drunk since broad daylight?’
Youngmin, who suddenly became the truth, came out with a firm expression. Come to think of it, this convenience store was closed and changed to another business.
“really… … did you come back?”I couldn’t believe it, but I had to believe it.
Really, back to the past.
When I glanced at my face reflected in the glass door of the convenience store, it seemed that I was a little too young. When I was playing games, there was hardly any sunlight, so my skin was flaky and my dark circles were down to my chin.
But most of all, that wasn’t the case.
‘You can start over.’
If this wasn’t a dream, if all those things weren’t a dream, The Road will be released soon.
Then you could start over again.
‘Try stocks or real estate’
Having done a regression, I could have snooped on stocks, real estate, or bitcoin with future knowledge. However, no matter how much I squeezed my head, there was no investment information that came to mind.
With these rare memories, it was just right to eat the bottom.
‘No, I have nothing but more rods.’
He devoted all his time and mind only to The Road, so it was only natural. And Youngmin knew. Sooner or later, the load will become more money than stocks or real estate.
If the production company that made The Road went public, they could make a lot of money with the stock, but it was just a ‘quiet job’ that had not yet been listed.
It is a distant future for that place to go public and go public.
Returning to the studio, Young-min immediately turned on the computer. And he roamed the communities and found one piece of information.
It was information about The Road.
If my memory is correct, the first mention of The Road, which popped up and took over the game market without CBT (Closed Beta Test), appeared in a community around this time and became a holy place.
After scouring several game-related communities with hazy memories, he finally found a mention of The Lord.
‘My brother’s friend I know… … The writing that began with .’ was still treated as a common spectacle.
The current level is a clumsy virtual reality game with limited space in FPS or white combat style.
However, it is natural to be treated like nonsense that an MMORPG-type game that traverses a map as wide as the earth will be officially released in just three months.
Because it is the industry’s orthodox rule that it will take several years to improve the quality of the current vulgar VR game even slightly.
Young-min, who had stood out in other virtual reality games in his own way, found the article too late and sweared at him as a public servant.
And that is… … .
‘Really, The Road will be released in three months.’
It was said that everything he knew and experienced was not a dream.
“Wait, you bastards. I’ll chew it all up and eat it.”
Fireworks erupted from Youngmin’s eyes. Everything he went through passed by like a lantern. The work to be done and the killing part for revenge were drawn in my mind.
‘The Absolute Immortal. Yes, I’ll be you if you want.’
more loads.
Become an absolute, immortal, untouchable by no one!
Recalling that word, the slogan and aim of The Road, Youngmin properly sharpened her teeth. He foretold once again that he would become the king of violence and crush them.
“Wait, it will be different this time.”
