Episode 42 – 17. What to do if you become the number one person in the world and what to do if you want to become one (1)2017.02.04.
“Whoa-.”
My breath cutting through the snow.
A very slow flashing number on the lower right is superimposed on the white warmth.
[29/12/30/23:50:15]
30 years was given. However, the [mission] to be solved within it is too daunting.
“Check my status window.”
whiz-.
My stats and [weapons] that are overlaid on my vision along with the sound.
First of all, I felt like I needed to know exactly what my condition was. It seemed like that would give me a specific direction to move forward.

and another one.

A randomly selected reward from among these three special rewards given before losing consciousness on Mount Jongnam.
[Permanent martial arts: Cheolposam (鐵布衫)]
Lv. 1 : Mastery 2%
An external air hole that makes the skin of the body extremely hard.
Status: 1 star (成)
‘I couldn’t figure out how to train this, but suddenly my skill level is 2 pennies?’
I don’t think he was beaten by Geumbongnam earlier… … ?
“Isn’t it?”
When I think of that, I instantly get chills all over my body.
Martial arts that Lv. rises only after being beaten?
eww-. Just imagining it is terrifying, isn’t it?
‘If that assumption is correct… … .’
As usual, the higher the Lv., the higher the skill level, but in the future, shouldn’t the skill level rise only after being hit with a sword?
Burr, I shook my body once and barely got rid of that thought, and I realized that Geumbongnam had disappeared before I knew it.
He looked around, but nothing was caught by the [Three Jians]. Just like when he appeared, Geumbong-nam disappeared like the wind.
“Damn the old man… … . I just threw it out.”
After throwing a 30-year-old lump of lead all at once into the heart of a person who wants to live a good life with a smile.
―Isn’t it obvious what the best man in the world will do in a situation where the midfield is perishing?
… … In the words of Geumbongnam,
Tring-.
[mission]
[Kill the Heavenly Demon (time limit: 30 years).]
[Reward upon success: Determined after success]
[Penalty in case of failure: destruction of midfield]
My head is still blank at the sound of the [Mission] actuation that sounded heavier than ever. No, should I say ping ping money?
Well, it was fine to express it in any way.
Anyway, it’s very confusing and disorienting.
‘What should I do, what should I do first?’
Even when I opened the status window, I couldn’t find a clear direction. The status window is just proving the fact that I haven’t played in a while.

How long have you been standing there?
The moment came when the snowflakes that had been falling down hit my eyes.
The snow melts quickly and the water distorts the vision.
Is it because of that? Or maybe it’s some other reason, I don’t know.
In the blink of an eye, a fragment of the forgotten past scratched my brain.
The fragments of small memories soon grow like a snowball, overlapping other words on top of what Geumbongnam said.
Even in my previous life, I heard it a long time ago and forgot about it… … .
―Yai, it’s a dog! Who fights when the bastard who is called the best in the world surrenders! Who’s fighting! f*ck!
A repressed one word from the soul of the soul.
It led me into the memory of my previous life.
● ● ●
If you look at it from now, it will be a distant future, right?
Anyway, at some point in the future, an unprecedented dark cloud hung over the whole of Jungwon.
At that time, it rained instead of snow.
The middle ground was in ruins.
Almost all the munpa fell into grief.
Horrible flames were burning everywhere.
The allied forces of the government and the political faction collapsed without any countermeasures.
Carcasses piling up between heaven and earth.
Shisan Blood Sea.
what more can i say
It is the last appearance of the midfield that I remember.
● ● ●
Demonic Cult.
Their invasion, reborn under the name of the Heavenly Demon Goddess, began as plainly as it has for hundreds of years before.
That is, until the monster called the Heavenly Horse came to the fore.
When Sejak (細作, spy) brought information that the nickname of the new demon cult leader was Cheonma, the reaction of the members of the political faction was a simple mockery.
Word has been passed down that there was once upon a time a man with such a vast nickname, but that was only a legend.
‘A kid I’ve never heard of’ continues such a legendary name?
Besides, does the fledgling Demonic Cult led by such a person dare to declare war on Central Plains?
Myeong-sook who saw the proclamation snorted.
[Declaration of War]
surrender Those who surrender will put their pasts aside and enjoy eternal life and glory under the grace of the Heavenly Demon.
However, if they resist, no matter who it is, they will not be able to escape the annihilation of the Heavenly Demon-nim.
A short, absurd exclamation.
It was. It was short. And she was just as foolish.
It was like that even for a leader of the lowest level like me, but it must have been shocking to the high-ranking officials.
Of course, the Murimmaeng dismissed their actions as insignificant. Rather, it was judged that Sadojeilyeon of Bukri Gyeonghon and Gueumgung of Cheonsoso were much more threatening, and the main force of the Murim League was placed there.
The local war with the Demonic Cult is just a local war, as it has always been before.
I can’t know exactly because I didn’t belong to the government, but the situation was probably similar for the imperial family. It must have been regarded as a mere quarrel between the Moorim factions.
Rather, they must have kept in check the powers of enemy kingdoms such as North Sea, South Man, and Dongyeong.
Around the time I was about to pass over.
The 1st Heavenly Demon Destruction (天魔滅劫) struck the central plains.
The Heavenly Demon and the Heavenly Demon Destruction Coalition (天魔滅劫團) approached the central plain at once.
Seven weeks, only seven days. This is the amount of time it took for Qinghai Province to turn into a mess.
The Murimmaeng hurriedly issued a general mobilization order to each level of munpa, and the government designated the Cheonma Shinkyo as the Four Gods and dispatched the imperial army.
Well, I wonder if there is a need to do more after that.
If it worked out, could I have died?
It’s an obvious story.
The Murim Alliance’s accident-free, elite officers, and whatever were swept away like fallen leaves by the autumn wind.
While being helpless like that, it was the year of the problem.
It was the Byeongsin Year (丙申年) that decided the future of Jungwon.
Around that time, even Gansu and Sacheon were completely trampled under the feet of the Demonic Cult.
A manifesto spread all over the central plains again.
– Surrender. Those who surrender will put their pasts aside and enjoy eternal life and glory under the grace of the Heavenly Demon.
However, if they resist, no matter who it is, they will not be able to escape the annihilation of the Heavenly Demon-nim.
It was the same. It was not different from the previous one.
However, the response of the midfield faction changed dramatically.
A fierce argument broke out within the Murim Maeng.
Do you surrender wholeheartedly like this, or do you fight to the end?
“Look at Xijiang, Qinghai, Beihai, and Yunnan! You’ve been on your knees before them!”
“Gansuk, how about Sacheon? It is only a matter of time before they enter the heart of the midfield!”
“Let’s surrender at this point.”
“I am not in favor of it either. Wouldn’t it be much better to seek after surrendering?”
“It’s a simple matter. An irresistible blade is flying into my throat. If you lie down, you will live, if you stand up, your head will be cut off. What choice should I make?”
After fierce debate, the surrender proposal was narrowly rejected.
The next day, the five men who had advocated a humiliating all-out surrender crossed the front line with a white flag, leading all of their troops under their command.
Among them, Danju Namgung-geum of the Cheonmu-Eolmadan (天武滅魔團), who was called the best man in the world, was included.
The remaining leaflets that were fighting bloody battles on the front line at the time.
“Hey, it’s a dog! Who fights when the bastard who is called the best in the world surrenders! Who’s fighting! f*ck!”
Danju of the remaining flyers, who was watching it from afar, exclaimed in despair.
But that was after they had all gone.
The Great Struggle in the Year of the Byungsin.
It was the birth of Byeongsin-Ojeok (丙申五賊).
and… … .
That was the starting point.
● ● ●
again
Those who defected to the Demonic Cult were disappearing far beyond the front lines.
The soul of the deceased tilted the bottle while glancing at him.
“Will it be that easy?”
I asked.
“What do you mean?”
“Abandoning one’s own people.”
“Won’t they take their families with them?”
“Is your family your only person? What about the co-workers who slept next to you? Who are their colleagues? And their families?”
“Didn’t you say you couldn’t save everyone anyway?”
he shook his head.
“That’s when you couldn’t save it even after you tried your best. When did they do their best? Hasn’t the blood been shed by all the low-ranking warriors and low-ranking officers of the remaining flyers here? However, they are running away. and… … .”
Jinhon took another sip of his drink.
“What are they going to do now? What would you do with a knife held upside down?”
“… … .”
I couldn’t answer anything.
Already, Byeongsin-o-jeok and the immoral people who followed them were doing their best on the front line to cut down their allies.
It must be because the more they decapitate their allies, the brighter the future awaits them.
That’s thanks to holding the knife upside down.
New immoral people who disappear far away smiling brightly.
Looking at them, the requiem tilted the bottle of white wine again and memorized the unique twisted Doho.
“Sanghapheo. That would be great too, you bastards.”
and,
Those were the last words I heard from the requiem.
The next day, the 2nd Apocalypse of the Heavenly Demon took place.
I was lucky.
I survived once more and sprinkled cheap beer on his grave.
Terribly lucky… … .
