The lawless city of Undertown.
An underground, communal city, with dim gas lamps hanging in clusters.
In this gloomy city, in the deepest and most humid of centers, deep inside the twisted and twisted alleyways, there is a shabby shack.
“… … .”
A man wearing a gray rag coat was standing in front of the shack.
The man, with the hood pulled down low on his coat, raised his hand and swept the surface of the door. On the rough, rough wooden door was a picture of a snake biting a gold coin.
“… … Here it is.”
You came to the right place.
Daughter.
As the man entered the shack, the bell hanging on the door jingled.
Despite its shabby exterior, the inside of the shack was luxurious. Jewels, gold coins, and items were lined up along the shelves.
“Welcome! This is Akasa’s cash exchange!”
The man in the round sunglasses who was organizing the ledger inside, Akasa, shouted without even looking back.
“We trade in units of 100,000 won. If you deposit money, we will confirm it and complete the transaction within 1 minute.”
“… … .”
“We also deal in items other than gold, so if there’s anything you’re looking for, please let us know. Everything from quest items to supreme weapons… … .”
The man in the coat asked Akasa coldly, who was reciting the set greeting lines.
“I’ve been buying a lot of reinforced stones lately.”
It was a very hoarse voice. But it was a powerful voice with a cool murderous tone.
“… … ?!”
The man slowly took off the hood of his coat and asked Akasa, who was looking back in shock.
“Is there any reason, Akasa?”
“reel…….”
Akasa, who had adjusted his sunglasses, called the other person’s name in a trembling voice.
“Mr. Cain?”
“… … .”
Cain, the man with the wolf-like features under the hood, did not answer at all.
Akasa burst into laughter after recognizing his opponent.
“Wow, it’s really Mr. Cain? How long has it been? You haven’t quit the game yet?”
“… … .”
“Was it last year when we last met? Since we haven’t heard from each other since then, I thought you had given up on gaming forever. Haha! It’s nice to see you again after such a long time!”
Although Akasa spoke gently, Cain only glared at Akasa with eyes that were as dark as dust.
A cold sweat ran down Akasa’s spine.
‘Oh my, why did this old man suddenly come to see me again?’
This lawless city of Undertown is filled with all sorts of crazy people, but this man was particularly dangerous among them.
A monster that hunts bounty hunters.
A PK-crazy, murderous maniac.
Hunter Killer, Cain.
‘Why are all the guests coming here these days so scary?’
A week ago, GM Anchovy and Mincheol came to visit. Today, it’s Hunter Killer.
It looks like I’ve been having some luck these past few days.
Cain took a step closer to Akasa, who was grumbling inwardly, and growled.
“Just answer the question. Why are you suddenly buying reinforcement stones, Akasa?”
“No, there’s just no particular reason.”
I couldn’t say that it was just as Mincheol had leaked. Akasa smiled kindly and talked back.
“Season 6 is coming out soon, right? I’m buying it because I’m hoping the price will go up a little.”
“… … .”
“And I like touch in the first place? It just clicked! I said it came right away.”
Cain, who had been quietly watching Akasa talking, suddenly started talking about something else.
“Did you hear that, Akasa? I heard GM Anchovy got cut.”
“Oh, of course I heard. I guess he got fired because he was running the business like a fool. Anyway, that anchovy guy, I didn’t know he’d disappear like this… … .”
Akasa, who had been muttering calmly, clapped his hands and said, “Ouch!”
“Oh! By the way, Mr. Cain, you really hated GM Anchovy, right?”
“… … No, I don’t hate it.”
Sigh.
Cain laughed for the first time. It was a chilling sneer, revealing his white fangs.
“I hate it.”
“… … .”
“I hate you so much that I want to kill you.”
It wasn’t a game, but a real-life situation where he would kill her… … A thick murderous aura flowed out of Cain.
Cain looked at Akasa with dangerous eyes that flashed murderous intent.
“But Akasa, you… were close with GM Anchovy, right?”
A terrified Akasa pointed at himself with his index finger.
“Huh? We were close? Me? What is this old man talking about?”
“The named blacklist that GMs were closely monitoring. Among the so-called ‘villains’, Akasa, you had the most contact with GM Anchovy.”
“No, are you talking about the lawsuit? Well, yeah. That’s also a point of contact, if you look at it that way. Oh, right.”
“The anchovies took it away.”

Damn it.
Cain took a step closer.
“Why did you drop the lawsuit? If you were to be the representative and feed me beans and rice, I could have had the chance to bury all the scammer users. Why did you let me go?”
“I told you I went all the way to the company and knelt down to beg! Hey, are you here to bring up my dark past?”
“No, I suspect there’s a connection between you and the anchovies.”
The corners of Akasa’s mouth trembled.
“Your assumptions are a bit harsh… … .”
“As soon as GM Anchovy was cut, you suddenly started buying up the hardening stone items that you had never touched before.”
Cain, with his elbows propped on the store’s counter, tapped the counter with his gloved hands.
“Akasaga, the fraudster who has been living in the exchange for the past five seasons, is suddenly buying up items he never bought before as soon as GM Anchovy leaves the company. Don’t you think that’s strange, Akasa?”
“… … .”
“This prediction is possible. GM Anchovy told you which items will go up in price in the future. Why? Because that bastard has something to get from you. What is it? Why did he make a deal with the swindler Akasa?”
Akasa was still smiling, but every word Cain uttered sent shivers down his spine.
“Yes, GM Anchovy needed an illegal transaction that was not visible on the surface… … and Akasa, you can provide everything that exists in this game. Without being caught by the outside.”
“You really write scenarios well!”
“Don’t underestimate my intuition, Akasa.”
Cain growled fiercely.
“I have been aiming for the old days for the older anchovies.”
“… … .”
“I don’t care what you and that kid dealt. I only care about one thing.”
bang!
Cain raised his hand and slammed the counter down, glaring at Akasa with menacing eyes.
“say.”
“What is it?”
“Where is that guy?”
Cain was sure that GM Anchovy was somewhere in this game.
Akasa thought about the abacus for a moment.
Should I give you some information?
If you give, what in return?
Or will he keep his promise to the anchovies?
Which side wins?
“… … .”
There was nothing to see again.
Rather than a PK fanatic who only knows this kind of battle, it’s much better to stick with GM Anchovy, who has all the information about this game.
“Where are you!”
Bam!
Cain grabbed Akasa by the collar. Akasa’s expression, which had always been smiling, changed.
“Let go.”
“what?”
“Let go, damn it.”
Chook-!
Akasa, who had pulled out his dagger with his other hand, swung it, and Cain quickly stepped back to avoid the attack.
Akasa glanced at Cain, carefully straightening the collar that had been grabbed by the collar.
“You think I’m being too quiet and respectful to you? Huh?”
“… … .”
“You said you were the runner-up in a martial arts competition a long time ago or something, and you’ve been holding your balls up like that for years.”
Exactly!
Akasa snapped his fingers.
Immediately afterwards, three large users entered through the entrance outside the store.
Akasa’s subordinate was lying asleep outside the store.
All level 90, max level.
When Akasa nodded, all three drew their weapons.
Cain glanced at the large figures with his characteristically sunken eyes.
“You don’t have the physical strength to be a professional gamer in a martial arts tournament anymore, so you go around massacring civilians and just showing off… … Mr. Cain, are you honestly feeling really ugly right now? Are you annoying?”
Akasa waved his dagger around.
“But since it’s the old days, if you leave now, I won’t step on you for the sake of saving your face. Get out of my shop while I’m talking to you nicely.”
“… … .”
Sigh.
Cain, who had been quietly watching Akasa for a while, raised one corner of his mouth and smiled.
Wolf-like fangs were revealed between the parted lips.
“It’s not second place.”
“huh?”
“Season 1 martial arts tournament, I won.”
Cain’s eyes, recalling a few years ago, suddenly became lost in memories.
Akasa asked back in a heated voice.
“No, you were the runner-up, right?”
“The opponent used a dirty trick. A dirty and petty foul… … He deserved to be disqualified.”
Cain’s eyes, which had closed and opened, were once again filled with flames of hatred.
“But GM Anchovy condoned it.”
“… … .”
“I ask one last time. Where are the GM anchovies?”
Cain leisurely declared, looking around at Akasawa in front and the three large men standing behind him.
“If you don’t answer, you all die.”
Crackle.
Akasa finally exploded at Cain’s bluffing until the end.
“You’re talking nonsense, you piece of trash!”
Akasa shouted, thrusting his dagger forward.
“Take control!”
The three giants rushed forward. Each of their vicious weapons rained down on Cain, spraying a murderous aura.
Pot!
At the same time, Akasa also stepped on the counter and rushed forward, thrusting his dagger forward.
Cain smiled as he watched the four attacks flying towards him.
Just like an evil spirit.
“I’m fine.”
Sreung!
A long, single-edged sword was pulled from its sheath at Cain’s waist.
Gripping his sword and taking a fighting stance, Cain roared like an animal.
“The only fun thing about this crappy game is PK!”
* * *
A few minutes later.
Crunch!
Cain sheathed his sword.
Around him, three large men were lying miserably.
One was smashed through a shelf and slammed into the ground, one had crashed through a door and rolled out, and one was slammed headfirst into the ground.
“Ugh, ugh… … .”
With his HP at rock bottom, Akasa sat on the floor. Akasa looked up at Cain with trembling eyes.
“You crazy, freaking bastard… … .”
Four people of the same level, at max level, attacked me.
This side was also a group of guys who were all good at it. Akasa himself is a skilled player who has rarely lost in a PK.
It was completely destroyed.
In common parlance, it was a bust.
“Are you human, you punk… … ?”
Cain calmly put the potion in his mouth and swallowed it, then slowly approached Akasa and crouched down in front of him.
“Tell me. Where are you, GM Anchovy?”
“… … .”
“If you don’t answer, I will come for you until you do. And I will keep killing you.”
Cain whispered, tapping Akasa’s chin with his gloved hand.
“I’m going to kill you, kill you, kill you, and kill you again. I’m going to destroy all your stores, chase you every time you move, and kill you, and kill you again. So that you’ll never be able to do business in this game again.”
Cold sweat ran down Akasa’s back.
“I’m still a guy who can do that. You know that, right, Akasa?”
“Oh, shit… … .”
“But since we have a lot going on, if you tell me now, I won’t destroy the store for your sake.”
Sreung!
Cain held the half-drawn sword to Akasa’s neck and asked with his fangs exposed.
“I ask you one last time. GM Anchovy, where are you now?”
