Episode 132
Beomjinsa Dungeon Break, which devastated Japan.
A week has passed since the end of the war that left so many dead.
[We, Japan, will not forget the deaths of those sacrificed in this ‘holy war’… The funeral of Association President Masataka Kubota, who committed suicide, will be held with a state funeral… The collusion between Prime Minister Suga and Yuki Broadcasting Station has been revealed, leading to criticism from many people… .]
Beep.
Association President Kevin Lee ended the video.
“It’s a temple… “That’s a grand name.”
It’s up to you to choose a name, though.
Since it was being used by a country that had made a big deal out of it, all I could do was snort.
“Well, from their perspective, it’s probably a holy war in its own way.”
It was Michael Gore who said that.
His gaze returned to the document he was holding.
“So, what is the situation on the Russian side?”
Association President Kevin Lee asked about the results of the Irkutsk Dungeon.
This is because just a few hours ago, we received a report that the attack had been completed.
“Not good. Many S-class players from Germany, England, and France, including the United States of America, who participated in the war, were killed in action. In the case of Russia, three national soldiers were killed.”
“Hmm… .”
All supporting countries suffered considerable damage.
Among them, Russia suffered the greatest damage.
Because it was their country’s job, it was the result of taking on all kinds of dangerous tasks at the forefront.
“As expected, the damage is too great to hunt SS grade.”
As I manipulated the screen, the image of an SS-class monster, Titan, came to mind.
Their characteristic feature was that they each had red, blue, and black magical powers.
Titans, each 20 meters tall, were massacring numerous players.
“They didn’t put all their effort into the attack. “Are you regretting it?”
Association President Kevin Lee shook his head in response to Michael Gore’s question.
The reason the United States has not hunted SS-class monsters until now is not because it is impossible.
Cody Cruz is ranked #1.
Alternatively, if we put in four top rankers, we were confident that we would be able to hunt SS-rank monsters with a high probability.
Nevertheless.
“Risk burden and opportunity cost. “There is no need to take risks.”
Association President Kevin Lee opened his mouth as if it were obvious.
The United States is already recognized as the most powerful country.
In the current situation, the only thing that can be gained by hunting SS-class monsters is honor and prestige.
In comparison, the power loss caused by injury or death at the national level was clear.
There was no need to take risks.
The same was true for other countries called great powers.
UK, Russia, France, Germany, China etc.
They also showed a passive attitude towards subjugating SS-class monsters, making various excuses.
The bomb exploded first in Russia.
“Now Russia must step down from its position as a great power.”
“I guess so. Even if there are two national power players, the sacrifices made by the S-rank and advanced players are enormous.”
“Looking at that, I would say Japan’s sacrifice was surprisingly minimal.”
It was ironic.
The United States, considered the world’s most powerful nation, and numerous other powers provided troops to help Russia.
Russia welcomed troops from other countries into the country to overcome the crisis.
Even giving up their pride as a great power.
On the contrary, Japan, which was overly ambitious, refused support from other countries with plausible excuses.
At best, they only received food and medicine.
And yet.
The results of Dungeon Break were quite different.
It was not because Japan’s response was excellent.
Only one person made this difference.
“New Korea’s Kim Tae-hyun. “He was a bigger guy than you reported.”
Association President Kevin Lee connected the screen to security mode.
A new video came to mind.
The world’s best artificial satellite created with the concentration of American technology.
It was a video filmed through Observer.
In the video, a woman and a large monster were clashing.
No, it’s embarrassing to even call it a clash.
It was a one-sided assault.
‘Did you say Lim A-young? ‘She has good skills.’
Kevin Lee thought as he watched Ayoung’s movements.
Even though he was in a state of disrepair due to being attacked by Kentamion, his skill usability, judgment, and spirit were outstanding.
Above all, what caught his attention was the fact that he was not yet 20 years old.
If it is grown well, it has the potential to reach the national power level of the United States.
However, Kentamion was an early stage for her now.
Quang.

Her body fell with a loud noise.
Centamion bent down to eat her.
at that time.
Something amazing happened.
The man who had been lying down all this time.
Tae-hyun, whose limbs were shattered, chewed and ate A-young’s arm and regenerated his body at the same time.
The same was true for Centamion.
A clash between humans and monsters followed, and the victory did not take long.
Quang.
Crack.
Attack and defense pouring all their might into each other.
The winner was Taehyun.
The attack using the half-body as bait succeeded in destroying Centamion’s magic stone.
The speed was such that the eye could not follow it without adjusting the video.
The Observer’s video ended with Taehyun leaving, carrying Ahyoung.
“Hmm… How do you feel, Michael?”
“Of course, a friendly match for Asian players. “I have grown more than when I battled Gregor.”
“Right. A player who can single-handedly kill SS-rank monsters, no, SS+-rank monsters… “I can’t believe it.”
As far as he knew, Cody Cruz was the only person in America who could do that.
Or you don’t even understand it yourself.
‘The archduke’s contractor.’
I couldn’t help but be conscious of that.
Michael Gore had similar thoughts.
“It’s blood-red magic… “I need to do some research on this.”
“Please. “I think about this every time I see a talented person like that, but it’s a shame that he’s not American.”
Talent scattered around the world.
Among those called geniuses, only a few special people achieve the title of national power level.
The United States Players Association is home to ten of the strongest national power players.
Kevin Lee, the president of the association, but the gem of Kim Tae-hyun seemed to shine so brightly.
‘want to have.’
Best training facility. The best partner. Best experience. The best game hunters.
If you support him with all his capabilities, how much will that Asian boy grow?
“Umm… “It’s a shame, it’s a shame.”
Michael Gore made it clear that Taehyun had no intention of naturalization.
Kevin Lee also knew.
Taehyun Kim has very firm beliefs.
A man like that is not deceived by material things or status.
This is because I am confident that I can obtain it with my own strength.
Faith, guts, and even the power to achieve it.
‘This guy doesn’t match his age.’
It’s time for Association President Kevin Lee to be lost in his own thoughts.
Michael Gore continued the report.
“It’s the minimum. It is expected that it will take 15 years for Russia to restore its existing power.”
“That’s both happy and bitter news.”
It is the fall of a country that kept the United States in check along with China.
If we look at it from a national rivalry perspective, we should be happy about it, but from a human level it was disappointing because we have a common enemy called monsters.
“President of the Association.”
“hmm?”
“Has the association’s decision been made?”
“iced coffee… .”
Kevin Lee realized that what Michael Gore was asking about was ‘an update on humanity.’
“okay. The establishment of a new SS grade has been confirmed. “There will be an update to the status window soon.”
“A new advancement for humanity will begin.”
Michael Gore said without hiding his expression of anticipation.
Association President Kevin Lee nodded.
“I have passed on the title of being the first SS-class monster subjugator. “The United States should take the first SS-rank awakened person.”
A triumphant smile appeared on his face.
The world little by little.
We were moving into the future.
* * *
A week after that.
There was an official announcement from the World Players Association.
It was about dungeon breaks that occurred in Russia and Japan.
SS grade monster Titan red, blue, black.
SS-rank monsters Centazenas and Centamion.
The number of victims of the break, which was caused by just five monsters, reached 50 million.
The two countries received an A in the national rating index and came down from the status of great powers.
New Korea was newly granted an S grade and joined the ranks of great powers.
The retreat of existing powers and the birth of new powers.
Religions around the world expressed their condolences in their own way for the sacrifices that occurred during the turbulent world history.
Sadness is forgotten as a new event.
Soon after, an incident occurred that shook the world.
The world’s first SS-rank awakened person appeared.
The awakened person’s name is Sarah Collins.
A lot of attention was focused on a 17-year-old American woman.
The Players Association of America pulled her out.
She moved many Americans by revealing her willingness to sacrifice her life for her country.
Around that time, a new SS-level player license was established under the leadership of the American Players Association.
The World Players’ Association announced that licenses will be awarded to ten players who participated in the unexplored Dungeon Break.
Five were from the United States, one from the United Kingdom, one from Russia, one from France, one from Germany, and the final tenth was from New Korea.
China, the only country in Asia with two national power levels, was furious and complained.
The World Players’ Association did not accept it.
Russia and Japan.
This was because no support was sent anywhere and the skills of the recommended players were not verified.
The SS level player license award ceremony date has been set two weeks later.
Their every move and interview were aired day after day, but there was only one person.
Taehyun’s whereabouts were unknown.
* * *
New Korea Seoul.
Alchemist Guild Laboratory.
There, Taehyun drank a specially made potion.
It was a potion created under the leadership of guild leader Seo Sang-ik.
The only potion in the world that costs 10 billion won in ingredients.
“Ugh… They say something good for your body is bitter… .”
After Taehyun one-shotted the potion, he checked the status window.
