It was on the news that the boy heard the sad news.

The fact that the plane on which the parents traveled abroad for their 20th wedding anniversary was hijacked by a terrorist group called ‘Heaven’s Sword’, a pseudo-religious group.

And, the fact that they perpetrated the martyrdom without even negotiating, and many people, including the boy’s parents who were non-religious, were caught up in their martyrdom.

The news reported the tragedy quite calmly.

It was a story to be featured.

Various media were buzzing with stories about the Heavenly Sword and the parents of a boy who were two of the few Korean passengers on board.

Naturally, much attention was focused on the boy, the only son left.

However, the boy couldn’t care less about that.

I just thought of it as I watched my parents’ bodies being cremated after returning to Korea.

Promises must be kept.

so.

promise me

Those f*cking terrorists who took your parents.

Promise that I will definitely tear it apart with my own hands.

There were many people who wanted an orphaned boy.

It was an open secret that there was property left by the boy’s parents, considerable insurance money, and compensation money in the background.

There were many adults who tried to placate the boy with sweet words, but the boy was wise enough, clever, and deliberate enough to fall for it.

That’s why I gave up the thought of having a good school life.

Plenty of money, plenty of time, and enough vengeance.

The boy quickly came up with a plan, and it went according to plan.

After dropping out as soon as the funeral was over, he went to various martial arts training centers and devoted all his time to training and studying foreign languages.

3 years like that.

As soon as he became an adult, he passed the qualification exam he registered for and earned his high school diploma, no. Now a young man, he applied straight away to a special warfare school.

Of course, in Korea, orphans cannot enlist.

However, Korea is already short of soldiers.

However, a person who lost his parents in terror enlists in a special warfare school to protect people by fighting terrorist organizations and criminals so that others do not grieve over terrorism like he did?

The Pentagon had no reason to reject him.

That’s why he was allowed to enlist in the military and publicized it extensively.

Proud of Daehan.

A son who will not be ashamed of his deceased parents.

But the young man was not interested in any of that.

An important thing is.

Skills that can be learned in special warfare school and special warfare.

Because it was an experience to fight terrorist groups that you would get by joining the Special Forces.

Even after becoming a special forces soldier, he did not stop.

training that you have been doing consistently.

And unbreakable iron will.

In addition, savoriness and cheerfulness, which can be said to be his nature.

The intense vengeance that underlies everything and serves as the basis for action.

Maybe that’s why there were many people who liked him even in the special forces.

He goes on his own in rough terrain, is passionate about training, and wants to learn anything.

Who would hate such a thing?

Even more so, those who want to volunteer for things like dispatching troops, which are extremely dangerous.

7 years like that.

He thought that he would be able to achieve more results than others and become the youngest special forces sergeant, but one day he suddenly submitted an application for discharge.

From the military point of view, it was absurd.

A person who was doing so well quit for no reason.

He was expected to become the youngest sergeant, and also a sergeant or lieutenant who was always understaffed.

That’s why he not only promised a long term, but also offered various rewards such as moving to the position he wanted, but he was discharged without any hesitation.

‘World Terrorism Suppression Association’ through entangled relationships during overseas dispatch. joined an international organization called

The training there was so violent and difficult that it made me think of special forces as such.

But that did not break the young man’s will.

Those who stayed in the same office from day to day can’t stand it and run away.

Those who came in aiming for a huge reward but couldn’t fill the month run away.

Enduring there, being put into action fighting terrorist organizations, training again, fighting again, and repeating.

When a young man who overcame hard times watching his comrades die or run away became the oldest in the combat unit.

A team was built around him.

All of his teammates were vengeful.

family, friends, and lovers.

Those whose precious things were stolen by terrorist organizations.

All of them suffered from severe mental illness, and if they strayed a little, they might become murderers.

However, in front of the young man, they were just big men who were pleasant and liked children.

I enjoy drinking, and when I get drunk, I always sing in the language of each country.

Volunteering for children who lost their families to terrorism.

Every time the children who saw the scarred, ugly face cried, they couldn’t help it.

When fighting terrorists, he becomes more vicious than anyone else.

The eccentricity of the young man who leads the monsters on the other side, the troop commander gave him a nickname, and the young man just smiled and accepted it.

Because he was just a stepping stone for revenge. Because it was just a means to keep the promise.

In that way, leading the monsters and fighting the terrorist organization, the young man was finally able to fight his target, the sword of heaven.

The result is their complete annihilation.

Afterwards, they hung the leader on their castle tree, opened fire with machine guns, and finally succeeded in revenge by tearing his body to shreds.

It was a long-held promise to yourself.

Even though he succeeded in avenging his parents like that.

He never left the unit.

Revenge of the team members yet.

And, because the revenge of the children in the orphanage run by the Global Terrorism Suppression Council remained.

A promise made to children who cannot sleep at night, terrified of terrorism and the fear of losing family and friends.

I will protect you no matter what, and if danger arises for you, I will save you even at the risk of my life.

He decided to stay on the battlefield, where the smell of guns, gunpowder, and death wafted.

.

.

.

“…under.”

Is it because the scent of death is too strong?

While I was losing my mind, I remembered the old days.

Things that have happened since the loss of my parents.

Guns, gunpowder, crying and despair.

My colleagues who were looking for hope came to mind.

“Are you awake?”

I let out a sigh and looked at the man in front of me.

The old man in a black robe looked at me with expressionless eyes and said calmly.

“Thanks to you, I was able to bring back the lost souls. It’s really great.”

“Then why don’t you just send it back?”

“Of course. It’s not difficult to let you go because you’re qualified. But… I’d like to make a suggestion.”

The old man held out his scythe.

Death Scythe.

scythe of death.

It was the right to become the master of the underworld.

“Are you thinking of following me?”

“None.”

“is it.”

Even in the game, I needed qualifications to resurrect.

ability, reputation.

Other than that, events that have been cleared.

If it is natural for death to be greedy for me, who has satisfied all the conditions, it would be natural.

But he was honest enough, so he didn’t try to tie me down by force.

I was just making an offer, revealing as much as I could.

Of course, I had no intention of going over to that offer.

“But anyway, you will die someday.”

“I guess.”

“Think carefully until then. You have plenty of time.”

The old man slowly took off his hood. Then he grinned and his eyes flashed, and soon beads began to appear on his hand.

I knew what it was.

Resurrection means being born anew, just as a phoenix burns its body and is born anew from its ashes.

In other words, you have to give up a lot of things you already had.

And, it was death that collected those discarded things.

“The living must pay the price when they come to the underworld and return.”

In Death’s wrinkled hands lay softly glowing marbles.

Blessing of magic enhancement and magic enhancement obtained through the event. and many other blessings.

Not only that, but there are also penalties that accompany blessings, and sometimes even curses that are more useful than blessings.

everything was gone

Awesome. These are things I had a lot of trouble finding.

But it’s not like you can’t get it again, so don’t be sad.

As I watched, he held up the only jet-black marble on his palm.

I knew what it was, even death.

“This is a very serious disease. I had it well.”

“Because it’s the highest level of mental illness.”

“I see. But this, too, is a curse, but also a blessing. I will take this too.”

“If I take it all, what am I going to eat?”

“Give me this instead.”

What he held out was a pure white marble.

It would be ‘Skill: Death blow’.

It is the most powerful skill among the strengthening skills that can be learned in common in the game.

“Come on. I’ll open the way.”

At that moment, the vial in my pocket began to take shape.

An incomplete elixir of resurrection.

You can resurrect the dead, but let’s open the cap of the elixir that only the dead can drink.

“However, there are not only those who watch you go out, so take care of that yourself.”

The moment death was granted, specters began to gather around them.

The final step to resurrection.

The boss of the Underworld event.

The ghost war was about to begin.

– I… I’ll survive…

– please. please let me live please…

– Give it to me!! it’s mine!!

The dead, those longing for life, began to shout.

As a child, as a woman, as an old man, as a monster.

Ghosts in countless guises approach and plead, beg, and threaten.

“Do you need any help? If so, you should accept my request. Of course, you can talk during a fight, so don’t be afraid.”

He grinned as he fidgeted with the marble in his hand.

It was like that in the game too. After the specter appears like that, death proposes, and if you decide to grant his request, then an additional quest will arise.

In fact, this is almost a forced event.

That’s also the case because you have to fight while losing all the blessings and curses you’ve gained while developing your character.

That’s why the majority of players come to Death’s aid and grant his request.

Of course, even if he granted his request, he would not give me any skills or items, let alone achievements, so most of the skilled veterans just didn’t get it.

It was difficult, but not impossible.

I’m sure the Baron will call the priests and breathe life into my body, which will be converted into my attack and defense to strengthen me.

And if you don’t want to do it, you can just get help from death, so let’s just do it.

“huh.”

So I ignored the ghosts and inhaled the medicine.

The ghosts around me started screaming as the medicine completely disappeared inside me.

With resentment, despair, and regret.

As if they wouldn’t let you resurrect alone, the specters unite and turn into a huge monster.

– If I eat you… I’ll be able to survive!!

“Would that be?”

– With my daughter.

I saw a glimpse of death. Because he just watched me with a cool smile, as if telling me to do whatever I want.

I just waved my cane.

– Kwajijijik!

“…yes?”

something is a little strange

The attack power is much stronger than I thought.

The life force sent by the priests wouldn’t be able to achieve this level of attack power, right?

Death laughed as I was stunned by the power beyond my expectations.

“You’re a loved one. A very strong holy power protects your body. That’s why… it’s only natural that you’re strong.”

“under.”

You got caught.

I’m sorry about this.

I grabbed my staff and pointed it at the lustful specter.

– Give it to me aaa!!!

“I don’t like it, man.”

I have people waiting right now.
