Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Chapter 200
The edge of the vast universe.
Gooooo-!
Fierce battles were taking place all over the universe, with enemies pouring in endlessly, melting the dimensional walls, and not allowing anyone to let their guard down for even an inch.
In the middle of that battlefield.
Sigh.
“… … I never thought my son would become the Dragon Emperor’s successor.”
A man covered in black energy like a curtain.
Shadow Lord Seong Jin-woo was staring in the direction of Earth and laughing in vain.
Really, raising children seems like a series of unpredictable events.
Who would have dared imagine?
Who would have thought that the day would come when the son of the Shadow Lord would declare himself successor to the Lord of Destruction?
I dare say that this future is one that none of the great beings here have ever imagined.
Soo-ho’s decision this time was a risky adventure with many variables and an uncertain future.
……but.
[Are you sure this is okay?]
[The Lord of Destruction is never to be trusted.]
[In the first place, it is an ominous thing to awaken the monarchs who were born from the darkness of the beginning.]
[In the worst case scenario, you end up creating an internal enemy during the war.]
Seong Jin-woo just shrugged his shoulders as he watched the rulers each expressing their concerns to him.
“Well, what can I do? It’s my son’s decision, and as a father, I can only support him.”
However, Seong Jin-woo put all his worries aside and decided to respect his son’s decision.
“Of course, there are still some concerns, but I guess I’ll have to do my best as a father after a long time.”
Besides, if you think about it carefully, it wasn’t such a bad choice.
“… … No, if it goes well, it might actually be good.”
The rulers also agreed to some extent with Sung Jin-woo’s thoughts.
[That’s true.]
[As more people inherit the power of the dead monarchs, our power will grow.]
[Even though the monarchs are beings born from the darkness of the beginning, they are on the same side when it comes to dealing with the enemies of outer space.]
[Of course, the fundamental nature of wanting destruction will not change much, but if your son can control that instinct well… … .]
“Enough with the small talk.”
Towering.
“Here it comes again.”
In that moment, Sung Jin-woo’s eyes burned coldly as he discovered the crack opening up again in front of him.
[Everyone, get into formation!]
[A new gate has appeared!]
[All forces, sortie!]
Flash!
At the command of the rulers, the heavenly armies flew up simultaneously.
The brilliant wings spread out.
The power of brilliance and the aura of the outside world clashed with each other.
And at the center of it all.
Seong Jin-woo fiercely bared his teeth and displayed his monarch’s domain.
“Everyone, stand up.”
Phew! Phew!
[Legion Commander Bellion! This time, our unit will take the lead!]
[No! Legion Commander Igrit! Follow me!]
At the king’s command, the soldiers of the dead, recovering from their wounds and emitting black steam, rushed into the battlefield.
[Come as much as you want!]
[The Lord’s protection is with us!]
As long as they had the protection of the shadows, they were an immortal army that could never die, even if they were hurt.
Kwaaaaaaaah-!
The vast universe.
Above the deep and wide shadow of the Shadow Lord, the undead army roared like thunder.
Glance.
In the midst of the war, Sung Jin-woo turned his gaze and muttered to his son who was struggling alone beyond.
‘Suhoya. My son.’
I respect your choice.
Since you have chosen to become the successor to the Dragon Emperor… … .
‘Be strong.’
I must become stronger.
‘The Dragon’s Trial’
It wasn’t a simple quest.
Coincidentally, it was a mutual agreement that was possible because Antares’ desire and Seongsuho’s goal were facing the same direction.
That meant that it was an extremely risky deal that could be disrupted in an instant if both sides’ interests came into conflict.
‘So, Suho, if you don’t overcome the Dragon Emperor’s trials, he will eventually try to eat you.’
Seong Jin-woo clenched his teeth and worried about Su-ho’s future, while also blessing him.
……therefore.

‘Be strong, Suho.’
You must become stronger and take down the dragon in return.
To survive, you must become the hunter, not the prey.
‘Because you are a hunter.’
* * *
[Use ‘Skill: Monarch’s Realm’.]
Phew! Phew!
Shadow soldiers roared and leaped forward in unison above the monarch’s domain that Suho had spread out.
“Kyaaaaak!”
“Chwiik! Chwiik!”
As they passed, only the blood and screams of the demons overflowed.
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
These days, Suho is obsessed with entering any dungeon he can find and leveling up.
The first trial set by the solvent was to reach level 99, which was an easy but difficult goal.
As the level goes up, the amount of experience required also increases proportionally, so it is natural that the speed slows down.
What this means is that in order to increase your level up speed, you have to seek out much more dangerous and powerful demons.
But it wasn’t as easy as it sounds.
“Brother Do-gyun, where is the next dungeon?”
“Yes, sir! That’s it for today. I’ll make the next dungeon reservation as soon as possible.”
At some point, it became natural for Im Do-gyun to use extremely respectful language toward Su-ho, regardless of his age.
It had to be that way.
Im Do-gyun was the only ‘normal human’ who watched Su-ho conquer the dungeon with incredible speed and momentum from beginning to end.
Respect beyond wonder!
The shadow soldiers of the guardian were not only fast at hunting, but also fast at mining and dismembering the corpses of demons.
Sometimes, the shadow of the demon that Suho had just killed would raise its body on its own, dismember its own corpse, and offer it to Suho.
It was fortunate that the demons looked like creepy monsters, but if the target had been a human, it would have been an incredibly creepy and horrifying situation.
And Im Do-gyun, who was witnessing all of this with his own eyes, could no longer regard Su-ho as just a close younger brother.
So then what is the true nature of his feelings for Suho?
Fear? Horror?
No way.
‘I got it.’
Im Do-gyun thought sincerely.
‘This is a job for life!’
The work is easy and your life is not at risk.
Even the annual salary is amazing!
For E-class hunter Im Do-gyun, the Woojin Guild was a very stable workplace, enough to make him want to bury his bones in it for the rest of his life.
As long as CEO Seongsuho is here!
“Boss! I’ve made a reservation for the dungeon! It’s a dungeon that the Hyunmu Guild has failed to conquer twice, so it might be a little dangerous… …!”
“That’s better. Let’s go right away.”
If the dungeon is dangerous, that’s good!
Im Do-gyun followed behind Su-ho, who stepped forward with shining eyes, with a confident attitude.
But then it happened.
Stop.
“……hmm?”
“100 million?!”
When Suho suddenly stopped walking in front of him, Im Do-gyun, who had accidentally bumped into his strong back, held his nose and looked at him.
“Boss, what’s going on all of a sudden?”
“… … .”
Suho suddenly stood there silently with a deep expression on his face.
Suho, who had been staring into space for a moment, opened his mouth.
“… … Brother Do-gyun, let’s cancel that dungeon just now.”
“Yes? Yes, I understand. But why… … ?”
“I have somewhere to go for a bit.”
Whoosh.
As soon as he finished speaking, Suho’s new form disappeared from that spot.
“……uh?”
Im Do-gyun looked around with a bewildered expression, but Su-ho was nowhere to be found.
“Boss, then… should I leave work?”
* * *
Rio sing.
He received Suho’s request and flew straight to India, heading straight to the Asura Guild without resting.
“I need to see the guild leader right now! I’ve got some huge business coming my way!”
Siddharth Bachchan.
The reason Rio Singh wanted to meet Sidharth Bachchan, the leader of the Asura Guild and the most famous S-class hunter in India, was none other than a business proposal by Suho.
Spring water in the echo forest.
A trading ticket for the Scavenger Guild’s antidote potion, the hottest item in the hunter industry these days!
The future that lay before Rio Sing, who had personally taken care of that enormous deal, was truly smooth.
‘This time, it’s an unconditional promotion! Even if I offer the highest salary as an A-class hunter to the guild leader, he’ll accept it unconditionally!’
Rio Xing, who burst into the guild office with a heavy heart…
“……uh?”
Creepy.
I couldn’t help but instinctively stop walking at the sight of the guild, which had an eerie atmosphere.
‘what?’
At first, I tried to think of it as just my mood.
It was natural to feel unfamiliar when I returned to my home country and visited the guild after a long time.
Besides, aren’t the guild staff you see here and there doing their normal office work like they always do?
however…….
‘What is this feeling? Something feels different.’
As he walked towards the guild master’s office, Rio Xing couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease as he looked around at the people.
And I discovered something strange.
‘There are no expressions.’
No matter how busy I was with work, there was not a single trace of life on the employees’ faces.
‘And no one ever pretends to know me first.’
Even though he had been on business trips abroad, there were quite a few employees who knew his face.
But even though at least one person would have recognized him and said hello, no one approached him or spoke to him.
“… … This is Rio Sing. I have come to see the guild leader.”
“Oh, is that so?”
If I were to speak to him first, he would respond expressionlessly.
But everyone’s reactions were as if their soul had left them somewhere.
“I tried contacting the guild leader’s office before coming here, but they didn’t answer the phone, probably because they were busy. Are you not at the guild right now?”
“No, he’s not here.”
“Where are you? Are you perhaps clearing a dungeon?”
“yes.”
“… …Is that the end of the explanation?”
“yes.”
“… … ?”
Rio Xing tilted his head with a puzzled expression at the unwelcome responses that kept coming back.
Why are the real reactions like this?
Have there been any unfortunate events in the guild recently?
Rio Sing eventually had no choice but to go to the guild leader’s office, walk around in vain, and then turn around and leave.
Then suddenly a strange look appeared in his eyes.
‘What are those necklaces?’
It’s nothing special, but now that I look at it, all the staff in the guild are wearing the same necklace around their necks.
It was a necklace with a large blue jewel in it, and both men and women wore it around their necks.
“What’s that necklace?”
“Ah! This necklace?”
“This necklace?”
‘uh?’
When Rio Xing grabbed one person and asked him about the necklace, suddenly everyone around him turned their heads at the same time and looked at Rio Xing.
With a bright smiling expression.
“This necklace is a recently made ID card that indicates membership in the Asura Guild.”
“Would you like one?”
“I’ll give it to you!”
“No, I… … !”
“Huh?”
Rio Xing was suddenly handed necklaces here and there, and he ended up putting one around his neck in a panic.
And the moment he put the necklace around his neck.
“Rio Sing, the guild leader is calling.”
“Suddenly? I thought you were in the dungeon.”
“Yes. You must enter the dungeon to meet the guild leader.”
“Yes, well. I understand. I just happened to bring a gift for the guild leader.”
Rio Xing nodded, fiddling with the antidote potion he had received as a gift from Suho.
I was told that it was a sample for business purposes and that Siddharth Bachchan had to taste it himself.
“But what kind of dungeon is it? Has there been a dungeon recently that the guild leader himself can enter?”
In response to Rio Sing’s question, the employee returned to his expressionless face and answered.
“Yes. The guild leader is currently raiding the dungeons of the Yong-in tribe.”
“Yongin tribe?”
