Episode 139
139. It’s been a while since I ate out
[Temporary skill – Death God]
-Effect: All stats, damage, attack speed, and movement speed increase by 44%, and all damage received from enemies is reduced by 44%.
Additionally, the chance of enemies recognizing you is reduced by 44%.
Lasts for 4 minutes and the duration is reset when an enemy is killed.
It can be canceled when reused and has a cooldown of 44 minutes.
It is a deceptive skill that increases all abilities by 44% and reduces damage received by nearly half.
‘Now that I’ve worn it, should I try it?’
While I was leaving, Ryu Min memorized the starter word.
‘The Four Gods of Death.’
At that moment, Ryumin’s body turned translucent and dark energy slowly flowed out.
[You have become an evil spirit.]
[All stats, damage, attack speed, and movement speed increase by 44%.]
[All damage received from enemies is reduced by 44%.]
[The chance of enemies recognizing you is reduced by 44%.]
It’s all 44.
It seems that it was set to 4 because 4 is usually considered the number of death in Korea.
‘Still, the effect is incredible. Additionally, you can cover your face as well.’
In the eyes of others, Ryu Min was currently no better than a dark shadow.
The body was covered with black energy rising like smoke, and this also applied to the equipment.
‘It will appear as a black figure from head to toe. Even the scythe.’
Since it uses a scythe, you can guess it’s a black scythe, but you can’t see its face.
‘It can last for 4 minutes, but the duration is reset when an enemy is killed.’
In other words, if you keep killing something within 4 minutes, you can keep it indefinitely.
Therefore, if you use Death God Fire when it seems like the battle will be long, you can sustain it for a long time.
‘It’s quite useful, especially on the battlefield.’
If it is a battlefield where a bloody fight takes place, death and death will be maintained until the end of the war.
It is a perfect skill to use in such cases.
‘The cooldown is longer than expected, so it’s not a skill that can be overused.’
44 minutes, not 4 minutes, is a slightly burdensome cooldown.
Therefore, Ryu Min also had no intention of using the Four Gods Painting unless it was important.
smart-
“brother?”
At that time, Ryu Min’s door opened and his younger brother came in.
“You were in your room?”
“huh.”
Ryumin, who had already sensed his presence and deactivated his Shinigami form, was smiling in his normal clothes.
“It was so quiet that I thought he had gone out somewhere again.”
“what’s the matter?”
“It’s time for dinner later. I was wondering what it would be like to eat out with my brother after a long time… … .”
“You can’t eat out. “You know very well how dangerous the situation is outside these days.”
“know. “But it’s frustrating to stay home all the time.”
It’s worth it.
For eight months, Ryu Min told his younger brother to refrain from going outside.
The younger brother only listened to his older brother’s words and followed suit by ordering and eating food delivered at home.
‘I ate out sometimes, but only a few times.’
The only time I ate out was that I ate once or twice before the players started going on a rampage.
‘It must be frustrating for Won.’
He must have been upset because he kept his younger brother confined at home while he went out here and there for work.
just as expected.
When I read his thoughts, I realized that he was quite disappointed with his older brother.
Isn’t it terrible that they keep them in a cage because it’s dangerous outside, but the owner actually goes around to play here and there?
‘I was told to refrain from going outside because of memories of being kidnapped in the past… … I guess I was thinking too much about myself.’
At this point, I need to make my brother feel better.
It’s still dangerous to go out freely, but the number of players has decreased these days, so it’ll be okay.
Above all, aren’t you by your side?
“Have you been staying at home too much? okay. “Let’s eat out tonight.”
“really? Oh yesss!”
Ryu-won, who was happy to smell the outside air rather than eating something delicious, loved it like a child.
‘Is it that good?’
I like it this much, but I think it would be a good idea to eat out at least once a week.
At that time, an idea to relieve his younger brother’s mood occurred to Ryu Min.
‘Your younger brother will like it if you call that person, right?’
Ryu Min made a promise to his younger brother, thinking that he should at least make a phone call to have a meal together.
Tonight I decided to go out to eat for the first time in a while.

“The world is like this, but there are still a lot of people here?”
“I guess it’s because it’s such a famous restaurant.”
Brothers who settled down at a famous charcoal grill restaurant grilled meat.
Cheeeeeeeek-
Just hearing it makes your mouth water, and the sound is pleasing to the ears.
“It’s really nice to be out with my brother after such a long time.”
“so do i.”
Ryu Won, who hesitated for a moment, gathered courage.
“Actually, I was a little disappointed with my brother. I told him to stay at home, but my brother roamed around freely… … .”
“I’m a player. You are an ordinary person. And you know just by looking at the news how dangerous it is out there.”
“know. I know… … “Still, I was sad that I was sad.”
For my well-tolerated younger brother to say this, it must have been quite difficult.
Ryumin felt truly sorry.
‘The reason I live tenaciously is for me and my younger brother. To return to my normal life. However, there is nothing more foolish than neglecting the present in order to achieve your goal.’
Ryumin pledged to pay more attention to his younger brother.
“Sorry. I haven’t paid much attention in the meantime, have I? Just be patient. After this month, there will not be many Korean players left, so security will be maintained to some extent. “The era where criminals run wild like now is coming to an end.”
“Ah really? “Does that mean I can go outside starting next month?”
“okay. “You can believe it because it is the words of my brother, who is a prophet.”
What Ryumin said was true.
There are currently about 3,000 Korean players remaining.
After 10 rounds, only about 700 of them remain.
‘Only one quarter will survive in the 10th round.’
How many of those 700 players are criminals?
Even if there were, there would be an elite few who knew each other, so they wouldn’t do anything to sell their face.
‘In the end, it means that even if you want to commit a crime, you will not be able to engage in external activities.’
Above all, if the reputation of the Black Scythe increases, there will be no more mindless looting like now.
Of course, there is a prerequisite that you must be selected as the commander of the anti-player unit before that.
‘I gave instructions to Yamti, so you will get a call when the time is right.’
In any case, after a month, there will be nothing to worry about in terms of security in Korea.
‘The problem is that crazy people aren’t only found in Korea.’
If you expand it all over the world, there will be an abundance of trash that needs to be killed.
If trash enters Korea, that becomes another problem.
‘That’s why we need to raise Korea’s status and solidify the position of the Black Scythe.’
Controlling players with the power of a head of state.
That was the best way to lead humanity off the path of dystopia.
“Okay, that’s it. Eat a lot.”
“Yes, you eat a lot too!”
Ryu Min and Ryu Won each picked up some meat and put it on the wrap.
Garlic, ssamjang, red pepper, and green onion slices were placed on top of each other in order, and the ssam was carefully wrapped.
And that’s when you open your mouth wide and try to eat.
bang-!
A loud noise was heard from the table across from us.
“f*ck, where’s the boss! “The boss, come out!”
Because the voice was so loud, people around them looked at the meat instead of grilling it.
Ryu Min and Ryu Won also mumbled and looked away.
“W-what’s going on?”
“Look at this! There’s hair in the meat! Are you selling something like this to eat? ok?”
The president bowed his head in response to the man’s shout.
It had to be that way.
At first glance, the other person looks like he is in his 20s.
Because he was a player outside the category of ordinary people.
‘He’s probably drunk and acting out the truth.’
You may not know if the player is also drunk.
“Sorry, sir. It looks like our employee’s hair got in there by mistake. “I will serve you new meat immediately.”
If you bow your head and say hello, it is a problem that will pass quietly.
Normally it would have been like that.
Normally.
Kwasik-! Wow!
The table was shattered and the dishes on top spilled onto the floor.
The customer broke the table as if he couldn’t get enough of his anger.
“F*ck Ballum. Is that a problem that will be solved if we just bring back the meat? How do I feel about having already been taken over? What are you going to do with the appetite you lost because of that? “You don’t have to take responsibility for everything!”
“Well, sir, if you destroy the property like this… … .”
“This bastard talks back? Ha, what kind of restaurant owner dares talk back to a customer? “That too from a lowly ordinary person!”
The man who shouted changed his attire, as if a medieval nobleman was scolding a commoner.
Tsuuuuut-
As soon as he heard the blue ax in his hand, the president realized the seriousness of the situation.
This guest is no ordinary truth.
The president spoke earnestly, rubbing his hands together as if he were a commoner.
“Sorry, sir. “I’m really sorry for making you feel bad.”
“Is that all I’m sorry about? “There should be compensation, compensation!”
“Hmm, what kind of compensation can I give you?” … .”
The man immediately made a round shape with his thumb and index finger.
“Give me the money. “Everything I have.”
“Well, specifically, how much… … .”
Kwasik-!
The table on the floor broke into pieces again with a single kick.
“f*ck, didn’t I tell you? “Give me everything you have.”
“Oh, I understand.”
While the boss went to get the cash, the man held up an ax and glared at the people around him.
“What are you looking at, you f*cking baloms! “Did you see it?”
Only after he scolded did the people watching secretly look away.
Most of the people in the store are people in their 30s or older.
There is no way the player has any great strength or strength.
-Crazy, what is that guy? Are you a player?
-They said all players were potential criminals, and that was true.
-Wow, I guess I should eat quickly and leave before something happens.
While Ryumin was reading the guests’ thoughts, his younger brother sounded worried.
“brother. “Why is that person like that?”
“Why are you like that? “They’re trying to steal money legally by being intentionally abusive.”
“Why are the players doing that? “Can’t he work and earn it himself?”
“I’m doing this because I don’t have time for that right now. This month could be your last birthday, so who wants to make money by working part-time? Just plunder it and that’s it.”
That was the reason players opened street stalls.
Because it was at a dead end cliff.
Because it was easy to earn.
“But I thought it would decrease after the player bill came out, but it doesn’t seem to have actually happened. When I see you acting so shamelessly like that. The anti-player unit needs to be activated quickly… … .”
Ryumin’s right hand was quite busy as he spoke.
“Hyung, what are you doing?”
“I’m tinkering with the system.”
Touching his finger in the air, Ryu Min, who had set up his equipment window at two levels lower than Regular, memorized the ignition word.
Tsuuuuut-
“Why are you wearing such equipment all of a sudden?”
“I think I’m the only player among the guests. I can’t just leave it like this, right?”
When Ryumin got up from his seat, his younger brother was surprised and stopped him.
“Tongue, bro! “It’s dangerous, so just stay still.”
“It’s more dangerous to leave a guy like that alone.”
Ryumin added, ‘I’ll be right back,’ and walked towards the man.
The equipment has also been changed to regular grade, so there is no need to raise suspicion.
Meanwhile, the boss returned with a wad of cash.
“CEO. Why does it take so long to get that money? “You sure didn’t report it to the police?”
“Well, of course. Is that possible? Anyway, here… … .”
“what’s this?”
The man who took the cash raised his eyebrows.
“This is all you have?”
The cash the president brought was at most 200,000 won.
Daily sales of 1 million won were not the kind of money one would expect from a hit restaurant.
“f*ck, are you kidding me? “Put 200,000 won on someone’s nose!”
“Hey, I mostly pay with credit cards these days, so I don’t have much cash. It’s real!”
“Then I’ll call the account and put 10 million won there.”
“yes? “Ten million won?”
“Why are you playing around? Considering my mental compensation, 10 million won is cheap. why? Too little? “Can you put more on it?”
“Oh, no.”
“Then, when he says something nice, do as he says. Do you have a cell phone? “Send money right in front of me right now.”
“Well, it’s difficult because I don’t have money in my bank account… … .”
“This bastard even lied when he asked to see you? Am I easy? Do you think I’m joking? yes?”
That time when the ax was raised threateningly.
widely-!
Ryumin’s hand grabbed the man’s wrist.
“Please stop now.”
“This bastard the size of X… … “What are you again?”
Ryu Min strengthened his grip.
“I am a customer who was quietly eating grilled meat in the corner.”
“… … !”
Did he feel a tremendous force from the grabbed wrist?
The man’s expression became tense in an instant.
Even this was adjusted to prevent it from breaking.
“You shouldn’t make a fuss like this in public. “It’s so noisy that you might feel sick while eating.”
“You, you bastard, won’t you let go of this hand?”
“If I let go, you won’t tell me the truth?”
“Okay, I understand. Okay, let go now!”
As a force was applied that threatened to break the man’s expression, the man’s expression became urgent.
Of course, Ryumin had no intention of breaking the man’s wrist.
I was just going to make some moderate threats and chase them away.
But it is only Ryumin’s wish.
After reading his thoughts, I realized that the man had no intention of just leaving.
“Let go you f*cking idiot!”
“You have no intention of backing down even if I let you go, do you?”
“What if there is nothing! “What are you going to do!”
“We have to wait like this until the police come, okay?”
“what? police? “This bastard is going after me!”
Are you trying to escape before the police arrive?
At that moment, another ax was grabbed from the man’s other hand.
It turns out that he was a gladiator who wielded a double axe.
“Just die, you f*cking arm!”
At that time, he was swinging the ax as if he was going to chop off his head.
‘huh? ‘Shield?’
Ryumin looked at the protective shield unfolding before his eyes.
Kaan-!
The ax bounced off the shield.
Ryumin released the man’s wrist and turned his head.
A familiar woman appeared, leading a fairy.
It was none other than Seo A-rin.
