#Max level talent player episode 396
Pedro, who had not heard the notification that he had entered Geomlim, looked around. A vast forest was visible. What was unusual was the fact that there were numerous swords sticking out of it instead of wood.
“I didn’t hear the notification. “Didn’t you hear it in Kim Hyuk-jin’s ears?”
“yes. To me too. “I couldn’t hear it at all.”
Kim Hyuk-jin also looked around. Why didn’t I hear the notification? Is it because Geomlim is a special place?
Geomlim (劍林).
It was a place whose name really suited it. While there were swords as large as trees, there were also swords as small as weeds. It was a world filled with the color of iron.
“First of all, there doesn’t seem to be any particular danger.”
“A real man is not afraid of danger. “If the situation arises, shall I take the lead?”
“A real man knows when and where to show his courage.”
“I was already trying to stand behind. Haha!”
Pedro stood behind Kim Hyuk-jin. Kim Hyuk-jin did not move. This is because a notification came from a guardian.
[‘The Shepherd Boy’ did not forgive you.]
Kim Hyuk-jin was not very embarrassed. He already gave a hint in ‘The Merchant of Venice’.
‘By giving a secret message. Even pretending to be a shepherd boy.’
The shepherd boy must have realized that the ‘Merchant of Venice’ had interrupted him. I would have been even more angry.
But he couldn’t have taken that anger out on the Merchant of Venice. By now, there must be a huge gap between the merchant of Venice and the shepherd boy.
‘I thought it would appear in the very near future.’
I didn’t expect it to appear so quickly.
‘Shepherd boy. ‘You showed up.’
I felt the emotions of the shepherd boy. As the level of sensory perception increased, ‘naked emotions’ were felt.
The player cannot see the guardian’s true form, but if he could, he would have looked like a deathly reaper.
‘The life that can be felt in the message is enormous.’
The message continued.
[The ‘Shepherd Boy’ explains about Geomlim (劍林).]
[Geomrim (劍林) is a level where the ‘shepherd boy’ can exercise some powers.]
[Geomrim (劍林) is a field where some of the guardian’s powers are permitted. It is a special field where the application of the law is somewhat weakened.]
I felt the confidence of the shepherd boy.
The presence of the shepherd boy was strongly felt. It seems that this place is not Earth’s ‘server’. A special space where guardians can intervene more directly. Originally, it seemed to be a mysterious place that was not revealed to the public.
Kim Hyuk-jin still did not move from his seat.
[The ‘Shepherd Boy’ is amused by your fear.]
[‘The Shepherd Boy’ will never forgive you.]
I misunderstood that Kim Hyuk-jin wasn’t moving because he was scared.
Kim Hyuk-jin is not scared now. He was rather surprised. Kim Hyuk-jin looked at ‘Pieces of Memory’ once again.
──────────
[Piece of Memory]
This is a sculpture that contains memories of ‘The Merchant of Venice’. A field where some of the guardian’s powers are permitted. It can be ignited in special fields where the application of the law is somewhat weakened. When a piece of memory is ignited, the special powers of ‘The Merchant of Venice’ are awakened.
──────────
The contents matched exactly.
[Geomrim (劍林) is a field where some of the guardian’s powers are permitted. It is a special field where the application of the law is somewhat weakened.]
Hyukjin Kim was sure.
‘The Merchant of Venice must have known that the shepherd boy would appear here.’
So, he presented a ‘piece of memory’ to Kim Hyuk-jin, who satisfied his test. Pedro asked cautiously.
“Hyukjin Kim? Aren’t you moving forward?”
“wait a minute. “I’m having a bit of a problem.”
A message was also delivered to Pedro.
[‘The Fairy of the Furnace’ demands your silence.]
Pedro couldn’t believe his eyes for a moment. It was rare for a guardian to require ‘action’ from the player. Are you impressed, happy, or disappointed about a certain play?
Usually it ends there. But now, ‘action’ is being forced.
‘The fairy of the furnace?’
Moreover, the fairy of the furnace was also a guardian who was always kind to Pedro.
It was a car that I thought was a very good guardian, going beyond kindness and sparing no effort in providing full support and quests. But he is asking for silence.
‘To put it simply, you’re telling me to shut up, right?’
The reason was unknown. Not only the Furnace Fairy but also several guardians sent similar messages. Pedro was confused.
‘Wasn’t 5 people the limit?’
Pedro did not hear any explanation about ‘Geomlim’. This place is different from servers on Earth. Different laws applied than those there.
There was no limit to the number of messages that could be sent at once. Pedro didn’t go any further. He just observed Kim Hyuk-jin.
Kim Hyuk-jin barely moved.
Meanwhile, the shepherd boy added mockery to mockery. As if to stimulate Kim Hyuk-jin.
Soon, Hyukjin Kim started to walk. Pedro followed quietly.
* * *
Kim Hyuk-jin decided to move based on the basic premise of ‘If I were a guardian.’
‘Basically, guardians respect guardians.’
Do not touch each other’s areas deeply. Unless there are special cases like the White Hunter and the Noise Master, they usually do not interfere with each other and completely respect each other.
But this time was different. The Merchant of Venice openly stepped forward and helped Kim Hyeok-jin. Of course, they gave the justification of ‘passing the test’.
‘The guardians probably already know what kind of place Geomlim is.’
The shepherd boy had been holding his breath waiting for an opportunity, so why did he show up now?
That’s because this is a world that deviates from general laws. This means that it is a place where the shepherd boy can use a little more strength.

‘So the shepherd boy thinks this is his chance and will target me.’
The question is whether other guardians will stand by and see what happens.
‘Guardians want to see Geomlim-related content.’
The blue barrier automatically opened a protective barrier without asking, and a merchant from Venice sent a secret message and granted special benefits.
‘There are probably many guardians who dislike the shepherd boy’s actions.’
The shepherd boy seems to be paralyzed by reason, blinded by anger or revenge.
Still, he must have been someone who achieved ‘achievements’ at one time. No matter how many years he lived and he became a being who pursued stimulating fun, his behavior was unfortunate in its own way.
Hyukjin Kim opened his mouth.
“Whether it’s school life or social life, if you live in a group, it’s like that.”
“… … yes?”
Pedro tilted his head at such an unexpected remark. Then, Pedro soon noticed.
Although it appears that Pedro is speaking to himself, he is actually speaking to his guardians. He decided to roughly guess.
“All my other friends know, but there may be times when I’m the only one who doesn’t know. Unfortunately, that’s what happens when you get bullied.”
“Was Kim Hyuk-jin bullied as a child?”
“Not really. “It was a little difficult, though.”
It would be a lie if I said it wasn’t difficult. My young days in my 20s were more difficult than my school days. At that time, I felt like nothing worked no matter how hard I tried.
One day in my 20s. Even his last remaining family was gone.
The day my mother closed her eyes. Kim Hyuk-jin still remembers that day clearly.
“I’m sorry I said I would be your mother.”
Those words are still deeply embedded in my heart. The truth is that it was difficult. It got to the point where he felt like society was ostracizing him.
I’m working hard and doing my best, but this society doesn’t recognize that at all. They just tell me to try harder. So there were times when it was difficult. For a moment, Kim Hyuk-jin’s head hurt.
‘Ugh.’
It’s like this again. When I think of the past, one person’s face suddenly comes to mind.
The face of ‘Song Jin-cheol’ came to mind again. I felt it again. Song Jin-cheol is a ‘factor of powerful variables.’ An image passed by like a fantasy. It was the same voice as last time.
-67 talent boards? You’re talking bullshit.
Last time, I only heard voices in a strange world where I couldn’t see anything, but this time I saw a different illusion.
Song Jin-cheol’s face was clearly visible.
In front of him, even Kim Kang-cheol, head of the human resources department of the Korea Players Association, appeared with an expression of regret. Song Jin-cheol was looking at one of the talent test sheets with a disapproving expression.
‘Song Jin-cheol’s voice. And Song Jin-cheol’s face. In front of him is Kim Kang-cheol. and… … A prosecutor whose name is invisible.’
The fantasy ended there. The pain that had been digging into Kim Hyuk-jin’s mind disappeared like a lie.
‘What kind of fantasy is this?’
I felt very bad. But she didn’t show it outwardly. Now was not the time to be preoccupied with fantasies like this. She decided to finish what she was talking about.
I said it to myself.
“Anyway, bullying is quite difficult and painful.”
It was a line directed at a shepherd boy.
The shepherd boy probably isn’t able to communicate with the other guardians at all right now. If there had been even a little bit of communication, we wouldn’t have made such unreasonable moves. Most of the other guardians are not happy with the ‘Shepherd Boy’s’ behavior now.
Because he doesn’t know this, the shepherd boy is so confident that he is letting his situation progress.
“Why are you suddenly saying that?”
“just. “Looking at this gray world reminds me of the dark days of the past.”
Hyukjin Kim activated his sensory eyes. Mastery has increased to [4]. My senses have become much more sensitive. Very far. I felt some powerful energy.
‘The sound of your steps is light.’
It seemed like there was hair on the soles of the feet.
Sabak, Sabak.
I could feel the energy of an ‘animal-type monster’ approaching with light steps and spewing out very sharp killing blows.
‘The number is approximately six.’
Kim Hyuk-jin spoke softly.
“About six. “A wild beast is approaching.”
“A wild animal?”
Pedro took out a hammer.
“I will have to punish you mercilessly.”
“That probably won’t help.”
The force that can be felt from a very far away is quite powerful.
The energy is so powerful that Pedro cannot dare to deal with it. Although it was not visible to the naked eye, it took shape in Kim Hyuk-jin’s senses.
‘It walks on two legs and has silver fur. It emits powerful deadly force, but its movements are secretive. ‘Two tails.’
Kim Hyuk-jin had a hunch.
Ssangmi Eunrang (雙尾銀狼).
It is a level 60 monster. It is known to be a distant relative of the lycanthrope, but it is a powerful monster that cannot even be compared to the lycanthrope. However, it was not a monster that was impossible to hunt.
This is because Ssangmi Eunrang has a very strong pride and moves only on her own. Therefore, it was an object that players in their 50s could easily hunt if they formed a party and conducted a raid.
‘Six entities acting independently gathered together.’
It’s not natural.
‘Then this… … The trap that [Shepherd Boy] is aiming for.’
The guardian is stepping out and moving to kill the player. It was said that the law was applied weakly, but even this seemed possible.
Hyukjin Kim said.
“Mr. Pedro. Are there any items that can somehow build a safe zone? “Hide for a while.”
“Why, why? A real man doesn’t hide.”
“Six ruthless monsters are approaching. “I don’t have the confidence to protect Mr. Pedro.”
Pedro took out a pyramid-shaped item from his pocket.
“A real man does not hide, but we will take a short break to help Hyukjin Kim play.”
Pedro’s face turned a little red.
“I’m not hiding. “It’s about helping.”
“Thank you for helping me.”
“Well, of course. “We will do our best to help.”
The shepherd boy sent messages one after another.
[The ‘Shepherd Boy’ enjoys watching your final moments.]
[The ‘Shepherd Boy’ uses up all his protective power to declare the ‘last chapter’.]
The gray world turned red. And then Senia appeared.
“The final chapter has been declared.”
“what is that?”
“The content is quite complex and many settings are involved, but to summarize, it is a law used when a guardian causes a miracle by pledging extinction.”
To put it more simply, he was planning to commit double suicide now.
Senia cursed inwardly.
‘Shepherd boy. ‘You crazy guardian!’
I pride myself on not having any emotions, but now I couldn’t hold back my anger.
The guardian declares the ‘final chapter’ to kill every single player. shepherd boy Although he has exhausted a lot of his protective power, which is the basis of life, he seems to have gone completely crazy. Sometimes it happens. That crazy guardian.
And no matter how crazy the guardian is, there is no doubt that he is a guardian with a ‘true name’. The guardian declared ‘the final chapter’. It was clearly a fatal threat to Kim Hyuk-jin.
But I wasn’t just worried.
‘Player Kim Hyeok-jin. ‘How are you going to resolve this situation?’
Rather, I was a little excited. I was convinced that Kim Hyuk-jin would definitely be able to solve it somehow.
‘Are you going to use the piece of memory?’
But it was strange. Kim Hyuk-jin seemed to have no intention of using the ‘piece of memory’ at all. Absurdly, Kim Hyuk-jin looked like he was preparing for battle. A level 60 monster.
This was also against 6 monsters that the guardian had personally tamed.
