Seodaemun-gu No. 3 GM Kihael.

He was a typical ‘non-ambitious office worker style’ GM.

His goal was to work only for the salary he received, and he was extremely averse to working overtime.

That’s why he was forced to work overtime.

‘why me… … !’

I hated it so much.

The culprit behind all these incidents was the manager Serchan, who moved from Yeosu to Seoul.

To Kihael, Serchan was an excessively passionate man.

“Why? Chief Kihael, are you leaving work already?”

“It’s past work time, Assistant Manager Serchan.”

“Still, don’t we have a project that we’re in charge of?”

“Can’t we do it tomorrow?”

“Then I won’t be able to meet the deadline. Chief Kihael must know well, right?”

“So, didn’t you ask for a longer deadline? I would have made it clear that it was impossible.”

“Can’t you hit it if you hurry? Then it is possible.”

For Kihael, overtime was inevitable when circumstances were unavoidable, and for Serchan, overtime was a matter of course.

The difference between the two positions has not been narrowed at all.

“If you think you can do it, you can do anything. It would be nice if Chief Kihael had some passion as well.”

“Sigh.”

Recently, Kihael and Serchan took on a new project.

Unexpectedly, as the SSP connected to the earth server quickly – it was because of Joseph – I had to connect the SSP and Ltube more quickly, and I had to open the SSP site and app quickly.

So that people in the earth server can properly use SSP.

“Come on, straighten up. let’s give it strength Today’s fierce experience will be our asset. It would be nice if Chief Kihael would focus on his work with a greater sense of duty.”

… … to kill?

However, seeing those overwhelming muscles, the desire to fight disappeared.

‘Sigh.’

Kihael started working overtime today.

It was the 7th day.

Cha Jin-sol, who was dealing with a black bear, let out a rough breath.

‘It’s too strong.’

However, this is a field where the resurrection setting is at stake.

In a place like this, fighting the strong guy is the basis for growth.

No one taught her, but she thought so.

Not only Cha Jin-sol, but Cha Jin-hyeok’s teammates all thought that way.

Except for the wooden strings.

“I-I think we should withdraw now… … .”

He was the tank of Cha Jin-hyeok’s team, and he suffered the most deaths among them.

Thanks to ‘death immunity’ and ‘King’s Gye’, there was no trauma caused by death, but the pain at the time of death was real.

However, Seo Ji-soo frowned.

“What are you talking about? It’s still far from dawn.”

Seo Ji-ah, who is usually speechless, said softly as she passed by Mok-hyeon.

“We have grown up.”

That word was a rebuke for why he was willing to give up this growth opportunity.

Wood Hyun wanted to cry.

‘Since my sisters don’t die very often, they say things like that.’

While Mok Hyeon died five times, Ji-ah Seo and Ji-soo Seo could only die once.

Objectively, all three of them were experiencing an enormous number of deaths, but their standards had become Cha Jin-hyeok before they knew it.

Only wooden strings were relatively close to the top.

“Junghyun hyung. Dry your brother. Everyone is crazy… … .”

FYI, Kim Jung-hyun just died and then came back to life.

“you… … Can’t you feel it?”

“What?”

“Our… … dazzling… … development.”

Mok Hyun read the madness in Kim Jung Hyun’s eyes.

Wood Hyun gave up halfway.

‘It must be a madman with a calm tone.’

I couldn’t help it.

I have no choice but to grit my teeth, draw aggro, and fight the black bear.

Then, at one point, a strange man appeared.

‘uh?’

The level and awakening name were written above the man’s head.

It was a trend these days to hide the level and awakening name, but you could reveal it like that if you wanted to.

‘Level 1? Kim Pyeong-bum?’

It must have been a newbie who happened to be on the wrong road and came here.

He blocked the black brown bear’s front paw attack with the forest acid.

The entire forest fortress was ripped out, and the wooden strings retreated a few steps back.

The black bear stood up on its feet and roared.

Woodhyun said quickly.

“Shinsol sister. What is that person doing?”

“uh?”

Cha Jin-sol also found Kim Pyeong-beom.

‘Level 1?’

It was too dangerous.

It seemed to me that someone had come here by chance.

He was approaching with a knife.

His expression was very relaxed, but it was like a puppy who didn’t know how to be scared.

Cha Jinsol cautiously approached the brown bear without provoking it.

“Hey. How did you come here? Our team’s tank is holding it with aggro, so run away quickly.”

“… … .”

smirk,

Kim Pyeong-bum laughed.

‘You really don’t recognize me?’

It was enough that Cha Jin-sol couldn’t recognize it.

For the time being, I was confident that no one would find out.

In the meantime, I think I can enjoy my hobbies.

‘The improvement of Mok Jae-hyeon’s skills is particularly noticeable.’

A lot must die too.

That’s how your skills grow.

Cha Jin-hyeok grabbed a knife and started running to the brown bear.

smirk,

Cha Jin-hyeok laughed again.

“Hey, hey.”

It passed Jinsol Cha.

Looking at that smile, Cha Jin-sol felt eerie for some reason.

There was a gleam of madness in the man’s eyes.

And a battle ensued.

‘crazy… … !’

That was never level 1.

A level 1 player was single-handedly fighting a black bear almost evenly.

He leisurely dodged the forefoot attack, and in an instant closed the distance to scratch the tough leather.

A suffocating battle ensued.

The breathing between Kim Pyeong-beom and the black brown bear gradually became rough, revealing their intent to kill each other.

As Kim Pyeong-beom’s longsword tore through the black brown bear’s skin, the black brown bear’s sharp claws pierced Kim Pyeong-beom’s shoulder.

smirk,

Kim Pyeong-bum laughed again.

‘done. I’m finally breaking the habit.’

It has become a habit to use relay barriers without even realizing it when I keep sensing danger.

If you rely too much on relay barriers, your essence as a swordsman will be blurred.

Where is the swordsman who uses barriers?

‘That’s fake!’

I am training without using relay barriers on purpose.

‘Oh, good heel timing.’

Cha Jinsol’s heel was delivered.

The strange sense of accomplishment and pleasure felt when playing a great team stimulated his peripheral nerves.

The blood of the black bear splattered, and his blood splattered as well.

when about an hour has passed.

A notice came from Kim Pyeong-beom.

[You have killed the Black Brown Bear.]

Kim Pyeong-beom looked at his watch.

It was already 1:00 in the morning.

‘There’s still an hour left.’

He ran towards somewhere without having much conversation with his teammates.

While wishing that there would be at least one more boss monster in this field.

‘Just one more, please. It would be nice if it was a guy with strong vitality.’

Using the relayer’s vision, I searched for a place where a strong guy might be.

Luckily (?) I found a turtle-shaped monster that is famous for its excellent defense.

smirk,

Laughter leaked out.

“In karaoke, the last song is the national rule.”

* * *

I didn’t get home until 7:00 on Monday morning.

It was a little too late to wash off the blood and sweat from his body.

Mom looked very worried.

“Did you work overtime on Sunday?”

“ah… … yes.”

“Take it easy. Work is good, but health comes first. got it?”

“Okay. Don’t worry.”

Seeing my mother worried, I suddenly came to my senses.

I’ll have to be a little more careful next time.

For some reason, it reminded me of my school days.

I used to like games when I was in school.

5 more minutes, 5 more minutes, 5 more minutes.

Because those 5 minutes eventually came together, it became 4 hours.

This time, it was the same in the end.

‘It was the first time, so let’s do it like that.’

I enjoyed it like this because it was the first time, and I won’t enjoy it like this again from next time.

I definitely felt it while playing as Kim Pyeong-beom, my secondary character.

My job was definitely a ‘streamer’.

‘Direct hunting doesn’t raise the level well.’

Streamers become stronger through streaming.

Streaming is a productive activity, and I was able to earn money as a member of society.

I went crazy all night slicing monsters, but my level didn’t rise and I couldn’t earn money.

I did get some items, but in fact, they are few compared to the sponsorship.

The play itself was incredibly inefficient.

‘I’m an adult now, and I know how to distinguish between my job and my hobbies.’

If I can’t distinguish this, then I’m not a real person.

While eating breakfast prepared by my mother, I was able to renew my resolve.

After eating, I went back to my room and lay down on the bed.

‘Still, the feeling itself is refreshing.’

Even though I stayed up all night, my body felt refreshed.

I guess that’s why you need a suitable hobby to maintain a healthy life.

But the door slammed! opened

“Brother, a big case.”

“What?”

“I found a really bad player. We must recruit him into our team.”

“Are you a bad player?”

Cha Jin-sol’s standard is a bit strange.

Even if you do a little bit well, you express it.

He also expressed how great he was watching the players’ play videos on Ltube these days – not the videos of system streamers linked to SSP, but the videos of regular streamers.

“uh. I saw you in Heyri Village. My name is Kim Pyeong-beom. It’s level 1, but I almost cut down a black brown bear by myself.”

“… … How do you catch a black brown bear at level 1?”

“Oh, really. He was a player who used a sword, but he was really bad.”

“You mean it was that great?”

Was I that great?

Ah, I can’t do this again, but I feel better again.

[…] … #It was cool #I want to see you again #I might have #fall in love]

I felt bad again.

“go away.”

* * *

I was worried a lot.

Should I save up a little more money and buy a building in Yeonhui-dong?

Or should I invest more now?

‘Let’s invest now.’

I bought a small office with the 1 billion won Serchan gave me.

This was also Yeonhui-dong.

It was a very old and small building because you couldn’t buy a decent building with this money.

For reference, it is 1 billion now, but in a few years you will not be able to buy even 10 billion shares.

Anyway, we gathered at the office.

“I’d like to talk about the next content first.”

The next content has already been decided.

My goal is to strengthen the Veraclaf necklace in the direction I want.

To do so, materials are needed, one of which is ‘non-burning spider web’.

“I’m thinking of hunting a special monster called Arachne. I got this information from the GM, so I’m sure, but there’s a little bit of a problem?”

Arachne lives in a ‘labyrinth type dungeon’.

It is a mobile monster, but it has a setting that moves only in a labyrinth type.

“I don’t think our team will need a decent guide.”

As far as I know, the best guide in Korea is my colleague Han Se-rin.

But Han Se-rin has too much ability.

He’s a person who doesn’t fit my goals.

Maybe you’ve already contacted the government by now.

“Does anyone know of a good guide?”

Since the SSP has yet to be properly activated, only the people of Earth are interacting with each other through the Internet.

Before SSP’s unique matching system, recommended player system, and various convenience systems were activated.

It will take at least a few more months for this to become active.

Jinsol Cha raised her hand.

“me! I know someone famous.”

I’m pretty famous on the internet or something.

A kind of player site was created, so I could browse the history.

‘ah.’

It’s bad just looking at it.

Just by looking at what kind of dungeon he cleared and what equipment he was wearing, he knew.

‘ah… … Why is everyone like this?’

No matter how much I want 3rd place instead of 1st, my eyes still won’t go down.

‘I’m not even that high standard. I just need to do the basics.’

If this is the case, I think it would be better to just do it with Han Se-rin.

Shall we just close our eyes and stay together until level 100?

I think we can be a little more greedy and play together until level 150.

‘But where and how do I find Han Se-rin?’

[The SSP system starts interworking with Earth’s network.]

Eh?

Why is this already out?

It was going on after the open beta, but the linkage has already begun.

I immediately turned on my cell phone.

[www.SSP.com]

A familiar interface window opened.

It was a lot older than the version I knew, but overall familiar.

[Player registration information]

Currently, Han Se-rin is competing for the first and second place in the Korean map guide system rankings.

My awakening name is Pathfinder.

In other words, it was the sound of being registered on the ranking board.

Then it will appear in the player registration information as well.

If you pay, you can find out his current location.

It was later abolished due to human rights issues, but it was still a living function.

[2nd place, Pathfinder]

I immediately clicked on Pathfinder’s personal information.

I spent 1 million diamonds to read her location.

“Wait, I’m going somewhere.”

I started running.

‘Why is he here at this time?’

[Current location: Saruga Dungeon]
