Maria suggested some kind of quest to me.

It was about persuading Shin Yu-ri, who had awakened with the ‘Nemisis Warship’, to join the NIS team.

It seemed that he recognized the potential of Shin Yuri.

If I succeed in this quest, he said he would provide me ‘within Maria’s authority, one kind of information you want’.

‘Does it benefit?’

Even if it wasn’t Maria’s suggestion, I was going to do it from the beginning.

Of course, Yuri Shin’s own opinion is the most important.

I think it would be better for Shin Yu-ri to grow up while being well managed under the NIS, rather than going crazy with that power and becoming a rare villain.

“I refuse.”

If it was me in the past, I wouldn’t have looked back and said okay.

At that time, my goal was just to become stronger.

But now it’s different.

I got to know the taste of playing as a monarch quite a bit, and I know how to control the angle of the L tube.

Now I know the taste of pizza and I know the taste of chicken, but isn’t it a bit regretful to only eat bibimbap?

“Why?”

“To be precise, half the rejection.”

Maria calmly drank her tea and waited for my words.

I continued.

“A player’s future will be completely different depending on how he sets the direction of growth in the early stages.”

“Yes.”

“In the beginning, I try to hold the center from the side.”

“Mr. Kim Chul-soo, is that you?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“I ask the opposite. Is there anyone other than me who can support Shin Yu-ri’s heart, which is about to crumble after losing her husband?”

“… … .”

It wasn’t just for Shin Yuri, but as a result, Shinil Group apologized to Shin Yuri, and many people in charge were reprimanded in the aftermath.

Chairman Choi Ik-hwan even stepped down as chairman.

I had no intention of becoming a strong support for Shin Yu-ri, but it became like that as I did what I had to do.

“It is a situation where I unintentionally became a mental support. Am I wrong?”

“no. Player Cheol-soo Kim is right.”

“In the beginning, I will take care of him and guide him in the direction of development. if you want However, after a certain point, I will try my best to convince them to belong to that group myself.”

Maria once again raised the cup and drank.

Some time passed.

“What is Kim Chul-soo thinking of asking for in return?”

“Information.”

“Information?”

“Information where our interests align. I want information to nurture Mr. Shin Yuri in the right direction. Because Shin Yu-ri must have the necessary ability. As our interests coincide, it would be nice to receive more detailed and useful information.”

Maria and I talked for a while, and the result was quite satisfactory.

Maria stood up from her seat and asked cautiously.

“But why… … Are you even doing this?”

Kim Chul-soo, whom I have seen, doesn’t seem to be a person full of humanity.

The words seemed to be heard.

‘I thought I would ask this too.’

I answered calmly, as I had prepared in advance.

“Because I want to help.”

At that, Maria looked at me a little puzzled, but didn’t ask any more.

* * *

The broadcast of Secret Box (Wang Yu-mi) attracted more viewers than ever before.

Kim Cheol-soo is currently working on content close to everyday life.

In this case, more viewers were drawn to the secret box’s channel.

After the secret box stopped the screen for a while, the video was moved slightly backward.

“I’ll see you again.”

On the screen, Kim Cheol-soo was talking.

– Because I want to help.

Viewers’ chats exploded.

-Thunderbolt Obama: Tired.

-Aunt Sundae please: look at the crazy dog cool.

-Semi-automatic printer: Why am I freaking out?

wow

wow.

Exclamations of exclamation came incessantly.

-Hope for light withdrawal: Oppa, take me.

-Junipapa: Really strong people act like that. I’m becoming that kind of person too.

In their view, Kim Chul-soo did not want anything in return.

Just the sincerity of ‘I want to help’ was conveyed, and it caused a wave of emotion.

The secret box communicated with viewers by talking about the scene.

She clasped her hands together in a slightly exaggerated way, then put them on her cheeks and made a hazy expression.

“Didn’t I say that heroes emerge in turbulent times? I feel like I’m watching its birth now. What do you guys think?”

* * *

[The quest ‘Maria’s proposal’ has been accepted.]

I accepted Maria’s quest.

Coincidentally, Shin Yu-ri contacted me, so I immediately left the house.

We met at a coffee shop.

Shin Yuri was wearing black clothes.

“Thank you very much. Thanks to your care in many ways, the body was recovered and the funeral was held well. I’m really sorry that I can’t express my gratitude properly because I’m so busy. And thank you.”

“Nope. Well, it’s what I like to do.”

“… … Thank you for saying that.”

I mean it from the bottom of my heart, but somehow I don’t believe it.

“I don’t know why I am doing this.”

I am.

I don’t know why I’m whimpering again all of a sudden.

I decided to understand why he was going back and forth like this because he wasn’t mentally intact.

Shin Yu-ri put her cell phone on the table and pushed it toward me.

“I… … I saw this.”

“Yes?”

Looking at it, it was Ltube’s secret box channel.

The video was edited by King God General Yumi, the owner of the secret box channel.

‘yes?’

People’s attention is drawn to it.

While praising me too much, I was arbitrarily attaching narrative and inspirational points to what I did.

wow, this one?

Are you saving it like this?

Are you a bit forced?

I almost laughed without even realizing it.

Getting attention is a lot more fun than you think.

‘Should I turn on chatting too?’

No, no.

If you do that for no reason, the broadcasting quality will be lowered.

I’ll just do what I normally do and see the audience’s reaction through the secret box channel.

“I know the approximate contents through the broadcast. I don’t know, but let me join you too. That… … name… … .”

“You can call me Chulsu Kim when I’m streaming, and Jinhyuk Cha when I’m not.”

“The grace Jinhyeok bestowed on me is too great for me to keep to myself.”

To sum it up, Yuri Shin also said that she wanted to become a person who exerts a good influence like me.

There must be a lot of people like her husband, so she wants to be a person who works for them.

No, what the hell happened in the past to make this kind of person a villain?

“How can I become strong like Jinhyeok?”

“I am not strong.”

If you say that you are strong with only this, it will hurt your pride.

I’m so weak that I’m contemplating whether I should hide my abilities and retire at level 150. Do you think I’m strong?

I couldn’t agree, but I said it once.

“Anyway, I help too.”

I explained to Shin Yuri about the job called ‘Nemesis Gun’.

“Your ability is half that.”

“… … .”

“For the time being, there is only one skill that you can use. All you have to do is implement a huge cannon and fire it.”

However, its destructive power is not at the general level.

“It takes a long time to recharge the mana, the cooldown is long after firing once, and the body’s ability is very weak. That’s why it’s not very useful in small battles.”

“Then can’t I become strong?”

“In small battles, yes.”

However, in large-scale battles, the story is different.

The wide-area magic of any wide-area magician can’t reach Shin Yuri’s firepower.

At least on Earth it was.

“If you have a good team around you and an environment where you can be sufficiently protected, you will be able to unleash more firepower than anyone else. And Maria’s team could do just that.”

“… … .”

“But it would be nice if you had some abilities too.”

It’s good to have the ability to protect yourself like the relay barrier I have.

And I already know which ability suits Shin Yuri the most.

‘Iron Dome.’

The Mystery of the Defense Series.

The only mystery that has only been discovered once in the entire world, or even in the entire universe.

It was a special ability Shin Yuri possessed in her previous life.

“It would be nice if I could get a defensive mystic to protect myself. Furthermore, if there is a mobile Mystery that can move to the location, the icing on the cake.”

Defensive Mystery.

mobile mystery.

These were all things Shin Yuri had in the past.

“Fortunately, I was provided with information about him. By the way, it’s a secret to everyone else that I’ve been provided with all of this. That’s why I’m not broadcasting either.”

Actually, it was surprising.

Even if Maria was the administrator behind the system, I never thought that she would give such detailed and detailed information.

Maria said, ‘This is all because of you, Mr. Kim Chul-soo’, but it was not a particularly touching explanation.

what did i do

“I’ll start as soon as my mind is clear.”

“I can do it as soon as tomorrow.”

“Right?”

“Yes. I want to be occupied. Otherwise, I think I will go crazy.”

I nodded.

right.

You must want to be occupied.

You must go crazy if you don’t play.

It’s a good mindset to become a high ranker.

‘I hope I get stronger soon.’

Exchanges with the NIS team, including the grown-up Shin Yu-ri.

Just thinking about it made my heart thump.

* * *

There was an update notification just in time.

It was a system wide notification.

[Soloing mode has been updated.]

[Duel play mode has been updated.]

If you enter the dungeon after setting it to solo mode or dual play mode, the difficulty or content of the dungeon will be partially adjusted accordingly.

‘Although literally some adjustments.’

‘Are you going to do it alone? Okay, then I’ll lower the difficulty a lot! Kindness like ‘come in!’ does not exist.

It’s just some adjustments.

Of course, soloing or dual play is very inefficient.

No matter how difficult or difficult the contents are, there is a huge difference in efficiency between playing as a team of experts in each field and playing alone.

Cha Jin-hyeok in his previous life was extremely reluctant to play solo or duel.

‘Because at that time I was a madman who was obsessed with efficiency.’

But now it was different.

I thought that there is no such thing as a madman who only plays while looking at efficiency.

‘Because now I have grown into a streamer who knows romance and taste.’

Even Cha Jin-hyeok from his previous life honestly wanted to try soloing.

It was the same with Duel Play.

And usually, when it comes to dueling play, it was common for one battle-type player to have one healer attached.

‘Duel play without a healer. Straight-forward without any treatment or pakku. This is a man’s romance.’

Isn’t this a bit of an idiot, but a wonderful play to light a fire in a man’s chest?

Cha Jin-hyeok thought so and climbed Bukhansan Mountain with Shin Yu-ri.

“Surprisingly, it’s not that hard.”

“It’s because I went up to level 45.”

Cha Jin-hyeok and Shin Yu-ri wandered around Bukhansan Mountain.

Thanks to the map Maria gave me, I was able to find the entrance to the dungeon in just 14 hours.

“See that swaying space above the big rock over there?”

“Yes, I can see it.”

“That is the entrance to the dungeon. If you go in there, a new field will open up.”

“Can’t we just take a break and go?”

Cha Jin-hyeok tilted his head.

‘It’s only been 14 hours?’

I’ve only climbed this mountain, so why am I already having a hard time?

No matter how water level it is, it’s still level 45?

Does it make sense to be exhausted after 14 hours?

Cha Jin-hyeok hasn’t completely abandoned Cha Jin-hyuk’s standards yet.

For normal level 45 players, this much movement is tiring.

“There seems to be a gap between body and mind.”

“Yes?”

“Originally around level 45, it’s not that hard. But I think the mind hasn’t caught up with the changes in the body yet. Anyway, let’s take a break.”

“… … Is that so?”

Shin Yu-ri took a deep breath and fell into thought.

‘I’m really weak.’

It must be because the loss of her husband has not yet gone away.

But after a while I can do it too.

As she masturbated like that, she learned Cha Jin-hyeok’s false (?) standards.

“Now let’s step in. You can set the dual play mode.”

“Done.”

After setting the Duel Play mode, I entered the ‘Dungeon, Ruins in the Forest’.

Shin Yu-ri looked around.

“really… … A completely different world unfolds?”

This was in the woods.

However, the feeling was very different from the forests I was accustomed to seeing in Korea.

The tree was much bigger, and I could hear birdsong that I hadn’t heard before.

Here and there, vines with intricate shapes were growing around the trees, and monkeys with red faces ran around on the vines.

“It feels like entering a primeval forest.”

At least for this moment, I felt like I was out of reality.

I was able to forget the sadness of losing my husband for a while.

Unlike Shin Yu-ri, who felt as if he had arrived in another world, Cha Jin-hyeok was not very impressed.

“If you walk along this way, you will find a village of dwarves in the forest.”

“It’s like entering a fairy tale.”

The two moved on.

Cha Jin-hyeok was excited in a different way from Shin Yuri.

‘The size of the dungeon has grown considerably.’

In fact, the dungeons so far have been too small in scale for Cha Jin-hyeok.

A dungeon was originally supposed to be huge and vast, like coming to another world like this.

In Cha Jin-hyeok’s standards, it was like that.

‘It must mean that it’s gradually taking on the shape of a real dungeon.’

The ‘real dungeon’ he thought had to be a vicious place with various NPCs, quests within the dungeon, double and triple dungeons, and unexpected variables popping out.

‘It’s a dungeon with a village of NPCs.’

It’s finally starting to look like a dungeon.

It felt like returning home.

“Look over there. I’ve never seen mushrooms that big.”

Colorful mushrooms were growing.

The mushrooms were as huge as a large tree, and there was a window in the middle of the trunk of the mushroom.

[Field, enter the ‘Village of Dwarves in the Forest’.]
