Part 2 Episode 12
Yoo Ah-young.
Although she is currently only one of many S-rank players, in Taehyun’s world, she is an outstanding player who is ranked number one in the world.
The problem was my early relationship with her.
Unique obsession.
Those who run large guilds have a strong greed for talent.
Ji Jin-hee, the president of the association, did the same, and the guild leader Kwon Kang-hyuk of Onsaemi also did the same.
and.
‘Guild leader Yoo Ah-young was the type of person who went beyond greed and showed an obsession that bordered on madness.’
It was a case where I developed a partnership with her only after I had known her for quite a long time.
‘It is impossible to overpower them through predation now.’
Due to Yoo Ah-young’s personality, there was a high possibility that he would try to somehow subdue Tae-hyeon and make him a member of his guild.
‘Considering the dangers of the relationship, it is right to avoid it for now…’
The best party that the association organized directly.
In a situation where you never know when the constellation’s avatar will attack again, Yoo Ah-young will be the best guard.
‘The tower must climb again…’
Should I join the party or not?
This is when Taehyun was thinking about such things.
“Other than this, there are no parties planned by the association right now.”
“….”
The worries didn’t last long.
“Okay… I will join the guild leader Yoo Ah-young’s party.”
Taehyun exhaled as if making a big decision.
Ji Jin-hee showed a surprising reaction.
“I don’t think you know guild leader Yoo Ah-young… I thought you would agree right away because you want the light tower? Have you ever met guild leader Yoo Ah-young?”
Even in today’s world, Yoo Ah-young seems to be a star player with both literary and martial arts skills.
‘A saint or Yoo Ah-young, the guild leader. If you find out your true colors, the repercussions will be big.’
Madness.
Taehyun smiled bitterly as he remembered what the two women had in common.
Because Yoo Ah-young and Seongnyeo during their S-class days were people with very strong self-love.
Now that I think about it, out of the three women, the rational Ricky Harlis might be the safest to have around.
‘Now is not the time to discuss such things.’
Taehyun shook his head.
“We have never met. “I, who recently awakened, would have had any contact with the leader of the Night Walkers.”
“That’s strange. However, when you get the feel of it, it feels like you’ve met several times. “Me too and Director Goh Tae-wook.”
haha. ha ha ha.
Ji Jin-hee smiled again.
He had a habit of bursting into laughter when he found himself in an awkward situation.
“You don’t have to worry too much. “Do you really think you’ll play tricks on me?”
“…!!”
Ji Jin-hee’s face hardened at Tae-hyeon’s calm words.
It’s like an expression that says, ‘How did you do that?’
‘The president of the association, too. To catch someone with that kind of skill.’
“Hmm… I didn’t hear any information about you meeting that child separately?”
“I’m not that kind of person.”
“Did you just judge it based on the images shown on the broadcast…? “Your insight is amazing….”
This is when Tae-hyun and Ji Jin-hee are flirting.
Go Tae-wook’s expression, who was listening to the report through earrings on one side, became serious.
“President of the Association. “For a moment…”
“Hmm…”
Ji Jin-hee sobbed lightly at Go Tae-wook’s report.
“This is causing trouble.”
“Is something wrong?”
Go Tae-wook shook his head in response to Tae-hyun’s question.
It was a silent protest that information should not be shared.
“No. Isn’t this a child who will become a member of the association in the future anyway? “It would be better to tell the truth and ask for help.”
“….”
Go Tae-wook’s distrustful gaze glanced at Tae-hyeon for a moment.
“The Murim people who were in custody committed suicide. “They say extreme poison was used.”
It is said that not enough research has been done on the martial arts and internal skills used by the martial arts people.
They told me that the association’s medical scientists are currently investigating the cause.
“You mean that guy named Dok Go-young?”
“I see.”
‘Suicide.’
It was a disappointing situation for Taehyun as well.
‘I thought the Association would be able to find out information about blood demons.’
The Blood Demon is suspected to be the avatar of a constellation.
Since they were targeting Taehyun’s life, it was necessary to have some knowledge from the association, which could be considered an ally.

“I will tell you everything I know about Zen.”
“Really?!!”
Unlike Ji Jin-hee, who welcomes her with a bright smile.
“Why are you acting like that all of a sudden?”
Go Tae-wook did not lift his eyes of suspicion.
“Whatever the process was. Now I am also a player in the association. “From the beginning, I had no intention of doing anything harmful to the new Korea.”
An honorary license has the same effect as a general license in Korea.
Moreover, it was not wrong to say that he returned to prevent the destruction of the Three Thousand Worlds in the first place.
“You entered the tower without permission. “Do you think that is also harmless?”
“That’s right.”
“….”
Go Tae-wook’s eyebrows arched at the firm answer.
At that time, Ji Jin-hee intervened.
“ha ha ha. Taehyun finally understands our feelings. Director: Isn’t it a priority to confirm information? “How long are you going to embarrass me for losing a bet?”
Ji Jin-hee glanced at Tae-hyeon.
The meaning of the action was clear.
“I apologize for my insolent behavior.”
Taehyun bowed his head deeply and showed sincerity.
Even if it is a formal apology, there is a big difference between doing it and not doing it.
Go Tae-wook made eye contact with Tae-hyeon, who raised his head again, and sighed.
“good night. Well then, let’s talk for a moment. Anyway, Guild Leader Yoo Ah-young hasn’t entered the tower yet. “I guess that’s okay, right?”
“of course. “I will tell you everything I know.”
“Director Ko. “Gently… gently…”
Ji Jin-hee emphasized, pressing both hands down.
“There is nothing to worry about. “Follow me.”
“Umm… Umm….”
Contrary to Ji Jin-hee’s worries, the interrogation was nothing serious.
In fact, when it comes to the Blood Demon Church, Go Tae-wook knew more than Tae-hyeon.
The conversation progressed so smoothly that it might have been better to call it a meeting.
“So, it’s been less than a week since I awakened to Class E, and my skills are sealed so I can’t check them?”
“yes.”
The reason he entered the tower without permission was to unlock his skills, and the moment he entered, he grew to D rank.
“The guys who identified themselves as members of the Blood Demon Church attacked me with all their might.”
Taehyun played the role of a high school student who had just awakened.
“This is so… Okay then, what about ancient martial arts? “It’s not like it suddenly became available, right?”
This is a question I was preparing.
“There was an awakening and some changes.”
“change?”
“yes. What can I say… It feels like I know how to move my body…”
Ko Tae-wook’s expression became strange as Tae-hyeon’s words were ambiguous.
This is because the answer makes no common sense.
However.
Dunjae, who was below average, suddenly enters the realm of genius.
A small number worldwide, but very occasionally. This is something that happens with extremely rare probability.
‘Are you saying Kim Tae-hyun is that type?’
In fact, it has D-grade physical ability and magical power.
Except for the uniqueness of ancient martial arts, he was a typical growth awakener.
“It seems likely that the skill you awakened is related to martial arts.”
“…?”
“Well, it may not be a skill… but either way, it’s an amazing quality. “On our side, we classify America’s Cody Cruz as a player with natural talent.”
Cody Cruz.
Taehyun’s heart became strange at the unexpected name.
surely. If he was a person who practiced great swordsmanship and martial arts without any special training, the expression “armless” would be more appropriate than anyone else.
Taehyun, who could not open the monster’s eyes, may not have the talent called bonelessness, but it seemed convenient to know that now.
“The investigation ends here. “If it’s a skill seal, I’ll take a look.”
“thank you.”
Taehyun bowed his head once again.
“It’s a strange feeling. “This guy who was behaving like a demon just a little while ago is now showing a more cooperative attitude than anyone else.”
“Because I’m still nineteen.”
“…That’s just as creepy as it is. I’ll send someone to inform you of what you need to know about the light tower. then.”
Go Tae-wook stood up and offered his hand.
“Please take care of me in the future. “Player Kim Tae-hyun.”
The process is different from before.
Wow.
“Please take care of me too.”
Taehyun smiled and held Go Tae-wook’s hand.
* * *
I spent the day at the association building inside the tower.
This was because it was inconvenient to have to use the gate provided on each floor to enter and exit again.
It didn’t matter to Taehyun.
Rather, I was able to ask questions through the staff, so my day at the association was a fruitful time to fill in basic knowledge.
and.
“You are that Kim Taehyun? Nice to meet you!!”
Ahahaha.
A woman with long green hair. Yoo Ah-young smiled and held out her hand.
“I have heard of its reputation. “This is Taehyun Kim.”
Taehyun held her hand politely, just like he did with Go Tae-wook.
“What is it, you look like a kid but you talk like an old man?”
Wow.
As Yoo Ah-young said that, her grip became even stronger.
‘This is so…’
Ssssss.
Taehyun wrapped his magic around his hands to protect them.
“The horsepower control is also natural. “It’s been less than a week since you awakened?”
She tilted her head, having already figured out the basics about Taehyun.
“That’s too much praise. “It’s thanks to the magic tools provided by the association.”
Taehyun pulled his hand away and shrugged his shoulders.
The cross pendant and earrings I was wearing shook.
The blessing of a grade A magic tool saint.
It was a magic tool specially provided by the association to make up for lack of physical ability.
In addition, Ji Jin-hee personally used her personal resources to gift shoes suitable for using ancient martial arts and an elastic robe.
The dragon slayer sword was added to it.
‘It would be enough to at least call him a grade A awakened person.’
It is known to the outside world that Taehyun’s purpose of climbing the mountain is to find a clue to unlock the skill.
If you use ancient martial arts and magic, you will be able to more stably maintain the A-level player level.
“I heard the awakening skill is sealed? By the way… Where did the president of the association come up with such a cute excuse?”
“It’s not an excuse.”
“Okay, everything is good. however.”
Sigh.
Yoo Ah-young leaned down and whispered in Tae-hyeon’s ear.
“I’m not the type to be fooled that easily, am I?”
“….”
I get goosebumps.
Soon she smiled again as if nothing had happened.
“don’t worry. “I heard that you have been slapping a hypocrite since the first day of your awakening.”
‘Are you talking about Lim Ah-young? It looks like the relationship hasn’t been restored yet.’
In the second round, both of them become players representing New Korea and the accumulated resentment is resolved.
Here, it will still be a long time in the future.
“Okay then. Let me talk briefly. The purpose of our party is the 4th floor. “Accompanying is only allowed up to the third floor.”
Towers rising all over the world.
Currently, only the first floor has been conquered and pioneered by mankind. The first floor itself is the size of a world, and from the second floor it is connected to the Abyss.
in other words.
‘This is the border between Earth and the beginning of the Abyss.’
Currently, humanity has explored the middle layer of the Abyss, which is the third layer.
‘You have to be on the 5th floor to meet the Grand Dukes.’
The 4th floor is the deepest layer. The 5th floor is the deepest layer.
Taehyun organized it that way alone.
At the same time, a monster living in the deepest level of the Abyss emerged.
No, it’s not just a monster.
The first contractor who made him the King of the Underworld.
A being who became the strongest prince in the underworld through a turf war and a race war.
‘Rosaria.’
He remembered the name of a precious friend who risked his life with him.
