Seo Ji-soo, who had not been in contact with me for the past month, suddenly came to see me.

“Brother, I’m sorry.”

“what?”

“I really tried really hard to meet my brother’s standards. I’m still doing it. As you know, I also formed a coalition of [K-killers].”

There, K is Korea’s K or Kim Chul-soo’s K.

The s at the end is Seo Ji-soo or Seo Ji-ah’s s or something.

When we call them, we just call them K-Killers.

[…] … #Sorrowful #Seowoon Wang #Deeply upset #Does it come out?]

I don’t know why he is so upset with me.

Seo Ji-ah, who usually doesn’t show her emotions well, also had a very dark face.

[…] … #Were we weak? #self-reflection #self-hatred]

No, why is he even doing this?

Seo Ji-soo clenched his fists and said.

“I knew that my brother would recognize and accept the K-Killers as the first cooperative association.”

“… … .”

“Of course, we still lack a lot compared to the Blackthorn Alliance. Because we are latecomers. But, but, I thought we’d be first for you. That’s why we’ve worked really hard, we’re working hard, and we’re confident that we’re much better than the Blackthorn Alliance when it comes to growth.”

As I listened, I began to understand the feelings of the children.

If you lose 1st place, your pride may be hurt.

“You are thinking wrong. You are my first cooperating coalition.”

“… … really?”

“of course.”

In fact, K-Killers is showing tremendous growth.

First of all, the level of the rookies is already in the late 70s.

They are running 5th and 6th in the rankings side by side.

It is not uncommon to have two rankers of this level in one alliance.

Besides, they’re not even water level.

I’m ranked 5th or 6th in terms of level, but I think I’m probably higher than that in terms of actual skills.

‘I can’t do it.’

I am vaguely thinking that in the distant future I might need my forces.

My faction’s biggest base of support is my first party members.

When these guys shake, my entire power shakes.

‘I’m going to go with a discipline.’

We decided to gather the kids together and talk about it.

I think we should have a place where we listen to each other, check how well everyone is doing in their respective positions, and give advice on things that we can give.

‘If possible, one-on-one interviews should be held from time to time.’

Come to think of it, I remember that Han Se-rin, who later changed her job as a monarch, often had such a place.

So it was like that.

Seo Ji-soo, who came to visit me with a strong sense of humor, now has an apologetic expression.

“Sorry. I was so pissed off because I felt like I just lost the seat next to me. no… … To be honest, I was jealous and upset.”

“Nope. These are all things you have to do as a monarch.”

“yes?”

“Why?”

“Obviously brother… … .”

what did i say

* * *

I asked Angel Girl Song Ha-young to objectively investigate our team members.

“It’s very interesting. It’s a bit late to start, but they’re all settling in with tremendous growth. Ah, let’s start with Wood Hyun.”

Unlike the other kids, Mok Hyun said that he went through a bit of wandering.

“At first, you belonged to a safety-oriented coalition and played timidly? At first glance, he seemed satisfied.”

However, it wasn’t long before he left the association himself.

“After repeating the same thing several times, I thought it wouldn’t work anymore. Recently formed a new coalition. You may know the name, but it’s the KSM Alliance. Do you know what that means?”

“do not know.”

“Kim Cheol-soo X foot Mok-hyun association.”

I heard that it took some time for Sok Hyun to get to know himself.

It was said that he was too frustrated after joining the middle-ranking coalition that pursued safety first.

The inclination did not match, so he went to and fro from other alliances, and then abandoned the alliance and became the leader of the alliance.

“Other coalitions were not satisfied. Anyway, KSM is growing explosively.”

“Good news.”

“The interesting thing is that the other colleagues had different processes, but the results were similar.”

Unlike Nam Mok-hyun, the newcomers settled down right away.

As soon as they became independent, they set up the K-Killers Union and are expanding their power by attracting assassins.

“It’s to the point where I’m keeping an eye on it even at Blackthorn. It is unique in terms of growth rate. And in the case of Kim Jeong-hyun, he is leading the Cheong-Bull Alliance. As you know, the Blue-French Federation has grown into one of the largest coalitions in Korea in just three months. It was probably the named effect of the Blue and Blue Alliance.”

wood string.

bastards.

Kim Jeong-hyun.

All are leading one coalition.

All of them are my 1st cooperative associations.

“You know that Han Se-rin, who tried to join the NIS, went to the French-Chinese alliance as a guide, right?”

“uh. I heard you.”

“And Mole Man, one of Han Se-rin’s rivals, belonged to Mo Mok-hyun’s Kim, Cheol, Su, X, and Foot alliances. The external reason is that I liked the name of the coalition, but I think I want to compete with Han Se-rin.”

Why do you think Kim Cheol-soo gave strength to his feet?

“Isn’t it usually called the KSM Alliance?”

“I just said my full name.”

It seems that the wooden strings were removed from the back.

Anyway, everyone has grown tremendously.

We are attracting competent guides as well as outstanding talents in each field.

It was a fact that everyone knew, but hearing it in the form of a report to the leader of the Black Rose Union made me proud.

“Everyone is showing excellent results, but still, your younger brother, Cha Jin-sol, is the best.”

“Cha Jin-sol?”

Jinsol Cha is very busy these days.

He didn’t have much time to talk with me either, so I didn’t know exactly what he was doing these days.

“Awakening name Baby Shark. Lee Myung, the saint of freedom.”

It gave me goosebumps that my sister was given that name.

You’re a free woman

“I am showing miraculous healing power in many fields as a free person without belonging to any specific alliance. The level ranking is in the top 10, but it is famous as the most desired healer in all alliances regardless of level. I’m frantic to take you anywhere. The ransom is very expensive, and the influence is enormous.”

Oh but that’s not all good.

Looking at Cha Jin-sol’s growth right now, I think he will easily become a top ranker.

Then, you have to stand strong to be safe from threats such as Awoken hunters.

‘I can’t believe the day will come when I worry about him becoming a top ranker.’

At first, I thought it would be absolutely impossible, but it seems that there is no such thing as absolute in the world.

I’m proud, no, worried about how he’s grown up and made me worry like this.

‘It’s not something to worry about right now.’

Healers and streamers are relatively safe, and it wasn’t the time to worry about that yet.

“Aside from the fact that they are all showing great growth, there is one more thing in common that really stands out.”

“what is that?”

Song Ha-young tilted her head once as if she couldn’t understand, then continued.

“Everybody underestimates them so much. Everyone says, as a habit, that you basically have to do this much, don’t you?”

“… … .”

“But the basic standard is a bit strange.”

“Is it strange?”

“You know there is a movement in the US that bans death within three days in a row, right? But they die dozens of times a day. If you can’t stand that, they tell you to leave the union. There are many such harsh standards, but they say that’s the basics.”

I also tilted my head.

… … Isn’t that basic?

* * *

Just like Han Se-rin did, I called my kids together.

But now that I think about it, it seems that Han Se-rin only cursed at us, but anyway.

“I heard that everyone is keeping the basics well.”

I also introduced the children to Song Ha-young and Kwak Do-hyeong, who can be called members of our cooperative alliance.

Seo Ji-soo got a little drunk and gave him an injection, saying, ‘Oppa, if I become stronger than that man, will you date me then?’

Here, ‘that uncle’ meant Kwak Do-hyung, who is from the same assassin family, and I hit Seo Ji-soo on the neck and passed out.

Seo Ji-ah sipped her wine without saying anything and fell asleep peacefully.

Sook Hyun, a minor, bangs his glass while drinking grape juice! put it down

“I thought I was dying of frustration while playing elsewhere.”

I don’t know why a kid who hasn’t even drunk pretends to be drunk.

“That is a really crazy idea.”

I kept swearing at poetry, poetry, and poetry by myself.

There must be some deep anger.

“I really hate to admit it. Sometimes I miss playing with each other. I really think I’m crazy.”

I thought he would pass out because he talked a lot, but I just left him alone.

Come to think of it, Han Se-rin cursed a lot, but I think she listened to everything she listened to.

As a ruler, if this is what a ruler should do, then of course he should do it.

“You only have to keep the basics, why don’t everyone keep the basics?”

“So it is.”

“Isn’t it a very obvious premise that you can die in a dungeon? If you don’t like that, then you shouldn’t play.”

It looks like there are a lot of things piled up.

“Don’t soccer players play soccer because they’re afraid of hurting their legs? A volleyball player doesn’t play volleyball because he’s afraid of getting his fingers hurt? Athletes give up exercise for fear of joint injury! It’s not. Even if you know your leg will hurt! Even if you know you’ll hurt your fingers! Even if your joints are injured! You still have to do it! Because it’s a pro. But why don’t the players do that? Why are everyone’s standards strange!”

Song Ha-young, who was listening, coughed loudly and awakened a sense of reality.

“It’s rare to die playing soccer or volleyball, but you can die while playing, right?”

“Then get rid of the play!”

“Why are you angry with me?”

“It is of course basic to be able to die, so why miss the basics!”

“Hey. I think the same as you. That’s just what people think.”

There was a lot of talk about this and that, but the atmosphere itself seemed to be friendly.

Kwak Do-hyung, leader of the Blackthorn Alliance, sat down next to me and spoke softly.

“Honestly, I thought I was crazy. In fact, there was a lot of opposition within the coalition even when I designated my older brother as the assassination target.”

He’s older than me, but I see him as an older brother.

Calling it like that makes me feel comfortable or something.

“But now I see. Now that I’m here, I know I’m not crazy. In a world of abnormals, the normal is bound to be alienated. I was right.”

It seemed that I was deeply moved because I found deep peace in my heart.

“Please call me often from now on.”

At first, it was annoying to arrange such a place, but as time passed, it was quite fun in my own way.

It was almost a kind of pleasure I had never felt before.

After quite a while, Seo Ji-soo, who had fainted, came to his senses and I opened my mouth.

“Soloing and Duel modes have also been updated. The open beta will be over soon.”

When the talk of play came up, everyone became serious.

It was nice to see those poses.

“I think there will be a big event before the official opening.”

Originally, there should be a war between the aggressor and the guardian, linked to the 4th scenario in Seoul.

Originally, a powerful attacker appears, and the people of the Earth server must come together to drive out the invaders.

That should have been the event that marked the start of the official opening.

But I’m in the process of arranging both the attackers and the defenders, so I’m not sure what will happen.

Song Ha-young raised her hand.

“I have a few serious things to say about him. This… … I’d like to say I figured it out on my own.”

Kwak Do-hyung’s body trembled.

As you can see, the relationship between the two is not very smooth.

Maybe it was because of the slightly overlapping lineage, but the two seemed to have a strange competitive spirit.

“Unfortunately, hey, these are the information we found out by working together with Vipers. I’m going to tell you something great. What I am saying here is that I don’t want it to spread outside.”

Kwak Do-hyung added a word.

“After hearing all of our stories, it would be nice if you paid a reasonable information fee. What about information?”

Song Ha-young smiled lightly and accepted the words.

“Information.”

How are you?

I don’t know if the two of them are bad or good.

[…] … #This time_us]

[…] … #turn_to_prove_superiority]

It seemed that they had no intention of receiving information fees in the first place.

‘The instinct to enjoy the superiority of information is natural.’

I fully understood that feeling.

It is only natural to want to boast in each field in their own way.

But why do you seem strangely conscious of me?

[…] … #This much_I win #Kim Cheol-soo is second place]

[…] … #This_wins #Kim Cheol-soo_wins]

… … uh?

Song Ha-young continued with a proud expression.

“I’ll say it again, but be sure to keep it a secret. It’s a story related to the scenario in Seoul. It’s a big case involving not only the administrators, but also unidentified VIPs called Trinity.”

… … You’re going to beat me like this?

this crossed the line
