Episode 132
132. 9th round representative selection match
Time passes quickly, midnight on September 1st.
The players were no longer embarrassed.
Even if the environment changes to a colorless space in the blink of an eye.
Even if hundreds of people appear one after another out of thin air.
Even if an unlucky angel flashes with light in the sky.
The players who had endured for a long eight months could only look up at the angel with silent faces.
[Nice to meet you, humans! I feel like I get attached to it every time I see it like this. Aren’t you like that too?]
“… … .”
As the players fell silent, Angel Ariel’s beautiful brow furrowed mercilessly.
[What is it? What is this cold reaction? Are you looking down on angels just because you raised their level? Aren’t you glad to see me?]
“haha… … “Well, nice to meet you.”
“that’s right. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you.”
Forced smiles appeared on the players’ faces.
‘f*ck you, you’re such a jerk.’
Unless you’re a fool, you’ll know that this is just nonsense, but the angel grinned as if he was satisfied with that.
[Hoho, good. I’m also happy to meet you humans. But unfortunately, I don’t think you’ll see me after this round. There will be district integration in this round!]
“District integration?”
“also?”
“I feel like I do this quite often.”
There are about 900 players remaining.
The time has come for district integration.
‘This is the last regional integration between our countries. From round 11, it will be integrated with other countries.’
As if to prove Ryumin’s words, the angel explained.
[There’s nothing to complain about if you do it often. This is the last district integration in Korea.]
“Integration of the last district… … ?”
[Because we have a small number of people, we have to integrate all seven districts remaining in Korea.]
“Integrating all remaining areas?”
“So there’s only one district left?”
[Yes. Everything is unified into one district. This is an opportunity to meet scattered Korean players in one place!]
It was an angel who spoke as if it were a reunion of separated families.
[Then we will proceed with integration immediately.]
Ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd-
The ground rumbles and the background fragments and merges together.
The scattered Korean players gathered together.
The number is approximately 6,000.
The players thought as they looked at the new faces.
‘Everyone here is the only player left in Korea?’
‘Then do we have to compete among ourselves again?’
‘What happens if we reduce it further?’
‘I don’t know, but if I survive here, the player’s value will increase, right?’
Their thoughts toward each other were different.
Some showed a sense of competition, while others expressed regret over the decline in comrades.
[Finally, all the players in Korea are gathered in one place! The number of people is exactly 6,008. The integrated area name is C3-ESKA001.]
“6,000 people?”
“That’s the only player left in our country?”
The number of players that started with 9 million was reduced to 6,000 in just 8 months.
Even this is expected to continue to decrease.
[Then, since the districts have been integrated, we will have to hold a district representative selection contest again, right? Our angels will come back to discuss this, so please say hello to each other in the meantime. Were you gathering with your friends to solve a problem?]
When the angel disappeared, 6,000 people complained as if they had been waiting.
“In a situation where we have to compete, are we supposed to say hello to each other?”
“what? “Why don’t you get together with your friends and talk about what’s going on?”
“Do you think this is some kind of meeting place? what the.”
Even if the districts were integrated, there would be no familiar faces.
Most of my friends and acquaintances were eliminated from the round and turned to dust.
But there were also people who didn’t.
“main… … No, Black Scythe!”
The first person to approach Ryumin was Yamti.
Ryu Min, who had already tipped off that the district would be integrated, instructed them to come to him immediately after integration.
‘Someday I will meet Yamti, so I can’t pretend not to know like in real life. Moreover, Yamti is needed to proceed with future quests.’
In order to use Yamti, you need to keep him by your side and make it seem like you know each other, so I decided that if that was going to happen, it would be better to show it early.
“Black Scythe. Nice to meet you like this. “It’s our sphere, right?”
“stop. “When we’re alone, there’s no need to act.”
“Oh, right, right? Hehe, it’s really nice to see you in another world!”
“Shh. Lower your voice when speaking. Just in case, check to see if there is an assassin wearing invisibility within 30 meters.”
“Oh, sorry.”
After saying that, Yamti immediately became wary of the surroundings and clung to Ryumin and whispered.

“But what did you think of my acting at first? “If this is enough, it’s worth it, right?”
“well. I think you’re being overly pretentious. “I think it would be good to relieve some of my emotions.”
“Hehe, thank you for the advice, master.”
“By the way, don’t get too close. “What if someone sees it?”
“Oh, yes… … all right.”
It was Yamti who whispered in my ear and then fell down with a sad expression.
At that time, someone came within 30m range.
The two people who sensed the presence turned their heads at the same time.
“uh… … Black Scythe?”
It was Minju-ri.
She came looking for the black scythe as if it was obvious, but ended up being surprised.
Because all of a sudden, I was flirting with a girl I had never seen before.
“That… … who are you?”
“Hello, my name is Yamti.”
“I wasn’t asking about your nickname, but what is your relationship with Black Scythe?”
Yamti looked momentarily upset at the harsh tone.
Then, as if thinking about something, he deliberately makes a snorting sound and raises one corner of his mouth.
“Hmm, I don’t know? Do I have an obligation to answer that?”
“I beg your pardon?”
“So this is my first time seeing you, what is your relationship with Black Scythe?”
“Me? I am Black Scythe’s friend… … .”
Min-ri Min stopped speaking and looked at the black scythe.
colleague? I wanted to say that, but did Black Scythe really think the same way? I had a question.
We met each other out of necessity, and the word ‘colleagues’ has never been said to us.
“Ryo… … .”
“I beg your pardon? “I can’t hear you very well?”
“Well, I…” … .”
“stop. both.”
Ryumin, who had a hard time watching the women fight, intervened between the two.
And I explained it as I had guessed beforehand.
“Yamti here is a personal acquaintance of mine in real life. It’s not like I’m your girlfriend, so don’t make any weird misunderstandings. And democracy… … .”
Ryumin looked straight at Minjoo-ri.
“He is my colleague. “We have partyed together several times.”
“ah.”
Is it because I heard that he was a colleague whom I had longed to hear?
Or is it because I drew the line at not being his girlfriend?
Minjoo-ri, who was surprised, drew a long line with her lips.
I feel like my heart is being ripped out of my chest.
An uncontrollable smile spread.
“You know Black Scythe in real life. I’m sorry for being sensitive. “I was wary because it was an unfamiliar face.”
Min Joo-ri smiled and apologized, as if she had shaken off her previous feelings.
Since it came out like this first, Yamti had no choice but to apologize.
“sorry. “I reacted sharply too, right?”
The answer came from Ryumin’s mouth.
“He was so sharp that he was extremely rude when we first met him.”
While saying that, Minjoo-ri secretly glared at Yamti.
‘Don’t fight needlessly with my acquaintance over slavery. If you don’t want to get scolded.’
Yamti, who read the intention in her eyes, lowered her gaze like a scolded puppy.
At that time, a group of familiar faces approached from afar.
They were Seo A-rin, Ahn Sang-cheol, and Ma Gyeong-rok.
“Hello, Black Scythe.”
“hello!”
Except for Ma Gyeong-rok, the expressions of the two people were brighter than usual.
Seo Ah-rin seemed happy to see the black scythe again, which she had seen in real life, and Ahn Sang-cheol was happy to see Ma Kyung-rok.
“Who’s next to you?”
When Ryu Min pretended not to notice and gave Ma Gyeong-rok a look, Ahn Sang-cheol stepped forward as if he had already intended to introduce him.
“Let me introduce you. Black Scythe. This person is the CEO of our company… … “He is the Heavenly Demon.”
“Macheonma?”
“Oh, no. “I am Cheonma, Cheonma.”
Cheonma and Ma Gyeong-rok stepped forward and held out their hands.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Black Scythe.”
Ryumin clasped his hands and shamelessly pretended not to notice.
“Cheonmara… … “I didn’t know I would meet someone named 2nd or 3rd in the entire district like this.”
“Haha, what a name. “Now the situation is that we are not even in the top three, so what?”
Ma Gyeong-rok treated him in a friendly manner even though it was his first time meeting him.
The Black Scythe owes me a debt.
“I heard a lot from Director Ahn. I heard you helped me from a thug during the second round. In addition, please party with us in round 6 and bring us to light level.”
“Well, that’s right.”
“As a representative, I would like to thank you in many ways. “Thank you for helping our staff.”
“Thank you.”
Ryu Min stuck to informal language as a concept.
Fortunately, Ma Gyeong-rok was not in a bad mood.
They say level 80 will speak informally, but what can level 38 do?
At that time, Seo A-rin carefully joined the conversation.
“But Black Scythe. That person over there… … ?”
The person she pointed to was Yamti.
When he was pointed out, Yamti raised his head calmly.
“nice to meet you. Are you a Black Scythe colleague? “I am Yamti, a real-life acquaintance of Black Scythe.”
“reality… … friend?”
Seo A-rin’s pupils shook.
The black scythe of reality wasn’t something only he knew about?
‘Well, if you’re as skilled as Black Scythe, there will be a lot of people around you.’
Aren’t there still quite a few people gathered here?
‘Wait a minute, then does that person named Yamti know the real face of Black Scythe?’
He only sees himself through a white mask, and does not know his real face.
Seo A-rin sent a jealous look towards Yamti.
Part of me wanted to be called a real-life acquaintance of Black Scythe.
[Did you solve the puzzle well? Korean players?]
At that time, Ariel came back as if the discussion among the angels was over.
[Currently, the 7 districts have been integrated and there are 7 district representatives. As mentioned before, one of these must be selected as the district representative. The representative selected this time will actually be the representative of Korean players.]
Ma Gyeong-rok listened carefully to the angel’s words.
He is none other than the representative of a district.
It is in a position to compete with the Black Scythe.
[Then how are you selected? I was thinking about doing a basic death match… … .]
Ma Gyeong-rok flinched at the word death match and looked at Ryu Min.
‘I’m not confident in deathmatch… … .’
If you fight against level 80, the outcome will be as obvious as hell.
[As a result of our discussion, we decided to conduct this representative selection contest through a fair voting process.]
“vote?”
[Everyone has voted in round 2, right? As before, you can nominate the representative player you want among the seven candidates.]
When he learned that it was a vote, hope appeared on Ma Gyeong-rok’s face.
‘Maybe there’s a chance for me too?’
I’m not confident about a death match, but if it’s a vote, there’s at least some possibility.
[Then shall we proceed with voting right away? People who do not choose will be destroyed as is, so please choose quickly.]
As soon as the angel flapped his wings, a message appeared in front of people.
[Please vote for one of the following to represent the integrated district.]
└ 1. Black Scythe (Lv80 Reaper)
└ 2. Heavenly Horse (Lv38 Dark Knight)
… … … … … …
… … … …
└ 7. Shit idiots (Lv38 Shaman)
[Time remaining until voting ends: 00:00:59]
After much deliberation, the players touched their fingers.
There was no need to notice because it was a selection window visible only to one’s eyes.
[Please note that district representatives are candidates and do not have voting rights. Leave it to fate.]
As the angel said, Ma Gyeong-rok swallowed his saliva and waited for a good outcome.
‘Maybe I can beat Black Scythe and become the district representative.’
Ma Gyeong-rok looked at the black scythe expectantly.
‘Even if you don’t show it on the outside, you’re probably going to get upset.’
He would have no choice but to be anxious this time.
Because he might lose his district representative position.
After a minute, the angel spoke.
[The results are in. Shall we check it right away?]
