Just, just, just.
His eyes were cloudy as if he hadn’t slept in days, and his body was withered as if he hadn’t eaten.
Cheol Tae-min, one of the supervisors of the Volcano Guild Monster Corpse Disposal Yard, looked no different from the slaves he had viciously tormented.
Exactly, exactly, exactly.
He was biting his fingernails and looking around anxiously.
It was from that day on.
Those eyes that flash in my mind.
“Ugh, ugh.”
The gaze of that guy, who was nothing more than a slave, was upon him at every moment.
‘Those are not human eyes… .’
Even without that, Cheol Tae-min was one of the losers who stopped leveling up because he was afraid of monsters.
Fortunately, thanks to a relative who was in a high position in the Volcano Guild, I was able to reach the minimum level of 5 and become the supervisor of the corpse disposal facility, where I was having the best time of my life commanding slaves.
But that day.
“This, this is beneficial….”
I went completely crazy after seeing the guy’s eyes, which had changed somehow.
Taat.
The feeling on his shoulder.
“Heeeeek!”
Cheol Tae-min quickly moved and grabbed the whip as goosebumps ran down his entire body.
“You’ve gone completely crazy.”
The man who put his hand on his shoulder spoke in a low, heavy voice.
“Cheol Taemin, come to your senses. Lee Ro-woon is….”
The man looked straight into Cheol Tae-min’s eyes and said.
“Dead.”
“Oh, no… , no… .”
“You don’t even recognize me anymore?”
The man turned around with a tsk.
Taat!
A shadow-like figure appeared in front of him and knelt down.
“I’m reporting. According to what I heard from the workers, Lee Ro-woon headed to the bottomless pit right after his collision with Cheol Tae-min.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. It seems that Cheol Tae-min had already hired laborers to find Iroun. We confirmed that the traces led to the abyss, and we couldn’t find any at the entrance to the abyss either.”
Mujeogang, a slang term for the deepest part of the Volcano Guild’s corpse disposal site.
A place that even the laborers, supervisors, and even the members of the Volcano Guild are reluctant to visit.
But above all… .
‘that.’
Inside is the corpse of a dragon.
It is the poison of the dragon that melts even the rankers.
It is clear that it would be beneficial to go to such a place.
“He must be dead.”
If it weren’t for that, the slave seal wouldn’t have been broken.
But still, the man couldn’t shake off his uneasy feeling.
‘Beneficial, beneficial… .’
That name is so tiresome and hateful.
“What happened that day?”
Again, blame the man’s words! A shadow appeared in front of him with a sound.
Iron fist!
The one who was roughly knocked down by Shadow’s hands was one of the laborers brought by Shadow.
“Report everything you see and hear in detail to the commander.”
“Hee, eek.”
The laborer was so frightened that he could not speak.
Crack!
What was given to him was a whipping.
A whipping that reacts with the slave seal and causes excruciating pain.
“Ma, let me tell you! Stop! Please stop!”
The laborer spoke with his head bowed to the ground in pain and fear.
“The guy was just sleeping… Supervisor Cheol Tae-min approached him to punish him… .”
The laborer said.
“I just grabbed the punch and dodged it! And then I looked him in the eye for a second and he went into the abyss!”
A slave with no power.
So there is a limit to what you can see.
‘It’s quite possible…’
That is beneficial.
Even if the player loses his power, if he hides something even a little while consulting with Wasin, he can avoid the fists of Cheol Tae-min, who is only level 5.
But there was another part that was annoying.
“You looked into my eyes?”
“Yes! Yes! That’s right!”

He made eye contact with Taemin Cheol and Taemin Cheol fell over as if he was scared.
‘And then I went crazy.’
Something came to mind.
‘To live.’
A magical power that is exclusive to the unmanned, and controls consciousness and mind.
That’s why unmanned vehicles were scary.
Even if they were unmanned at the same level, the gap between those who could use the skill and those who could not use the skill was something that endangered their lives in actual combat.
But that’s also why it’s nonsense.
‘He’s not unmanned.’
There is no way that humans on Earth can handle the power of drones.
What’s more, he’s a guy who’s lost even his player powers.
“Please! I told you everything I know! Please… just let me live…”
The porter held onto the man’s ankle and trembled as he begged.
Crunch!
A red line was drawn around the neck of that laborer.
Bam.
In an instant, the worker’s body, with his neck and torso separated, lost its balance and fell over.
“Where is that dirty? A slave or something.”
This was the reality of being a cadaver worker.
A being that is not even treated as a proper human being and whose dignity of life is not even protected.
‘You too. Beneficial.’
And the benefit also should have been to live in a place like this and receive such treatment.
“It looks like he’s definitely dead.”
It’s a shame that he’s already dead.
“Shall we search the bottomless pit?”
The man shook his head at the shadow’s words.
“Arthur. This is not a poison you can handle. Your whole body will melt in less than three hours.”
“……then.”
“I’m going back.”
The man turned around as if he had finished his business.
Cheol Tae-min is shaking.
The foul, foul smell of a crematorium.
It was a place I would never have set foot in if it weren’t for confirming Lee Ro-woon’s death, and a space I didn’t want to stay in for even a moment.
“I will follow you, Commander.”
It was at that moment that the group of men were about to move.
Phew!
The sound of something piercing through skin.
Phew!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of firecrackers exploding was heard.
“… … .”
Cheol Tae-min, the guy was slowly collapsing, with nothing but his body remaining.
The man quietly turned his head.
there.
“… … !”
There was someone standing there who shouldn’t have been there.
“It’s been a while.”
That can’t be true.
“Kim Shin-hong.”
“Beneficial-!”
Lee Ro-un was standing there.
* * *
I had considered the possibility.
‘But I never thought we’d meet like this.’
As the slave seal was removed while undergoing a transformation, a signal would have been sent to the caster who had inserted the slave seal using the magic of binding.
‘I thought he would move on his own, given his personality.’
He’s such a suspicious guy, you wouldn’t believe him unless you saw him for yourself.
So it was obvious that he would take the precious step to go to the morgue and check for himself.
But I didn’t know the timing would be this exquisite.
“It’s been a while. Kim Shin-hong.”
The one who was my best friend.
A guy who was a member of Dank, a small elite guild that players formed.
and….
“Beneficial-!”
One of the traitors who condemned him to this hell.
I thought we would meet, but I didn’t know it would be this soon.
“How are you alive?”
“Well, I guess I was lucky.”
Snap!
The veins on Kim Shin-hong’s temples stood out.
‘Is it true?’
Even now, Kim Shin-hong was doubting everything.
The slave seal that was clearly beneficial to Yirun has disappeared.
“Really… is this really Iroun?”
Moreover, the place he was headed to was the bottomless pit, a place where even his own direct escort, the Shadow, could not last an hour, and he himself did not have the confidence to last a day.
Does it make sense that a guy without any player powers could come back alive in a place like that?
There were also more areas of doubt.
“Who are you? Who are you, impersonating Iroun?”
The last time I saw him, he had a body that was thin from a long life as a slave, a hunched back, and matted hair.
But the benefits that were visible now were so strong.
Rather, even more so than in the past, when he had to only watch others’ backs.
He seemed to have grown taller and his size had also increased.
‘Red eyes.’
In addition, the eyes of the person who was presumed to be beneficial were glowing red.
The guy’s eyes are black.
There was a surest way in this case.
Kim Shin-hong whispered the name of the skill in a small voice.
“Information seeking.”
A skill that can never be avoided by players of lower level than you.
A blue window appeared before Kim Shin-hong’s eyes.
[Only player information can be explored.]
“… … !”
[Explore information registered in the world, not as a player.]
[name….]
In the status window that appears.
[@#[email protected][email protected]!#$]
Suddenly noise started to occur.
“Ugh!”
A headache came to Kim Shin-hong soon after.
When I opened my eyes again, the status window had turned red and was continuing to distort.
“What is this…!”
I have never heard of or seen this phenomenon.
“Have you already forgotten about Kim Shin-hong?”
Lee Ro-woon’s voice was heard by Kim Shin-hong, who was panicking.
“I feel bad that you don’t recognize me because my appearance has changed a bit, but I’m the me you know. I heard you sold me out and became the leader of the Volcano Guild. Do you think you’ve become more fearful?”
“shut up!”
In the midst of the chaos, there was only one thing Kim Shin-hong could do.
“Kill that guy!”
Pfft!
As soon as Kim Shin-hong gave the order, the shadows rushed towards Lee Ro-woon.
* * *
shadow.
The correct name is Black Hawk.
They were direct escorts given only to officers above the rank of guild leader in the Volcano Guild, and were assassins who would not spare their lives if given an order.
Their level was usually above level 90 by player standards, which was close to being ranked.
Okay.
The new form of shadows approaching Iroun has disappeared.
‘Hide.’
The assassins’ characteristics of stealth and rapid movement were evident.
Stab! Stab!
Indeed, as if they were the black market of the Volcano Guild, they were not even paying attention to him, who was presumed to be a slave, and were circling around in all directions, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
If you show even a single moment of opening, the black hawk’s dagger will pierce your neck.
Due to their nature as assassins, the Black Hawk was able to take the life of an opponent of a higher level than them in one blow.
‘Assassins are extremely tricky.’
But that was something that only applied to my old self.
‘But, disciple, they are only difficult when you are extremely weak.’
The teachings of Master Wu Wang.
“They say that you have to crush the fast-moving insects with the palm of your hand to kill them.”
Beneficial, one hand raised.
The outstretched palm began to clench into a fist.
The black hawks seemed to sense something and quickly tried to fly into the air.
“It’s late.”
At that moment, Lee Ro-woon clenched his fist.
Taang!
I saw a black bead the size of a fingernail pop out.
At a speed incomparable to that of bullets, the black hawks quickly turned their bodies in the air to avoid the beads.
I felt dizzy and a cold sweat ran down my face.
It was only the size of a grain of rice, but at that speed, it would have penetrated the barrier, and if it had hit a vital spot, the consequences would have been terrifying.
But the important thing is that it was avoided.
‘You can’t let your guard down.’
When the black hawks looked at each other, exchanged glances, and tried to adjust their postures.
Paaaaaaaah!
There was a loud noise.
What happened?
The black men couldn’t think any further.
Thud, thud.
They fell to the floor in a miserable state, just as they had thrown the worker earlier.
A dense black sphere embedded in the back of their heads as they fell.
This is the third stage of the Blood Demon God Art.
‘Black blood.’
Black blood cells divide and spread like shotgun blasts.
And if they are embedded in the body, they will suck out the opponent’s internal energy and magical power… .
Phew!
It explodes.
“I heard you became the leader of the Volcano Guild. You’re the same now as you were before.”
Iroun Lee said as he walked towards Kim Shin Hong, leaving Heukmae’s corpse behind.
“I’m talking about hiding behind other people because you’re scared.”
