└1st place. Black Scythe (Lv16 Reaper) 00:39:42
└2nd place. doesn’t exist
└3rd place. doesn’t exist
Everyone who saw the tally results was surprised.
“First place… black scythe?”
“Black Scythe is the only one in our area who has changed jobs?”
Moreover, the job I changed to was unusual.
“Reaper? What do you do?”
“It’s a very strong job, right?”
“So you were holding that big scythe?”
Jo Jung-sik, like everyone else, sighed after seeing the results.
‘Damn, I never thought Black Scythe would change jobs.’
The right to command does not apply to former employees.
In the end, the plan to kill Black Scythe was abandoned.
[Round 2 is ranked in order of completing the sub-quests fastest. The former person in our district is a player named Black Scythe.]
The angel, who had been speaking calmly, soon looked surprised.
[Ho? Ranking first not only in your district but also in the entire district? And that in less than 40 minutes?]
While Ryu Min moved on 39 minutes after starting the second round, it took 2 hours and 36 minutes for second place.
Huge gap.
It was a surprisingly fast record for the angel.
[Incredible! Black scythe! Not only is the only class whose occupation is Reaper, but their nicknames are similar!]
The angel who was truly admiring looked at Ryumin.
[Answer! Black scythe! How could you come up with a nickname like that? Did you know in advance that you would have a job as a Shinigami?]
Ryu Min was not embarrassed by the angel’s straight-forward question.
‘Even angels don’t know the process by which they become reapers. I just know that it’s a unique class.’
You’ll probably be shocked if I tell you that you obtained the advancement item by killing an angel.
“I never thought I would have a job worthy of my nickname.”
[So you’re saying it was a coincidence that I changed my job to become a Shinigami?]
“yes.”
Ryumin simply responded as he said in the previous episode.
Then the angel reacted the same way.
[iced coffee! okay? Are you saying this is fate? Kihehehehe! It’s fun.]
The angel smiled happily.
I’ll probably just move on like this without any questions.
‘And they’ll talk about leadership.’
just as expected.
[There is only one person with a job in that area. This is the only one that won’t be subject to commander-in-chief. Heh heh.]
“Huh? You’re saying you won’t be affected by the commander’s authority?”
“What do you mean, angel?”
The angel laughed playfully at people’s questions.
[Giggle, shall I tell you everything? People with jobs do not have the authority to lead. In other words, the district representative cannot use the black scythe as he pleases.]
The people were surprised, but the angel’s words were not yet finished.
[In addition, the opportunity to use leadership is limited to 10 times. Just because you are a district representative, you cannot wield unlimited power. Giggling.]
“You can only use it 10 times?”
“Was that something like that?”
People’s eyes naturally turned to the district representative.
Jo Jung-sik’s expression was one of embarrassment itself.
‘f*ck you! Crazy angel! ‘What if I tell you that!’
Jo Jung-sik glared at the angel as if he were going to kill him.
It was clear that he was saying this on purpose to cause trouble as he was smiling round and round.
[Then we should reward the Black Scythe who changed jobs the fastest, right?]
Following the angel’s signal, a message unfolded before Ryumin’s eyes.
[congratulations! You have completed the quest as first place in the area!]
[congratulations! [You have completed the quest as first place in the entire district!]
[Currently, ‘Black Scythe’ is ranked 1st in the entire region and 1st in the region.]
[You will receive a ‘lower rare armor option’ as a reward for ranking first in the area!]
[A ‘Special Reward Selection Box’ will be given as a reward for ranking first in all areas!]
Compensation was paid through inventory.
Ryumin immediately used the item.
[You can choose one of the following rare armors.]
[Please touch the reward you want.]

└ 1. Medieval knight’s plate armor
└ 2. Seasoned Hunter’s Leather Armor
└ 3. Well-ventilated wizard robe
‘It’s a no-brainer option.’
Ryumin immediately chose number 2.
Number 1 is heavy and moves slowly, and number 3 has virtually no defense.
Number 2 was best for Ryumin as it was easy to move and had higher agility stats.
Next, Ryumin used the special reward selection box.
[You can choose one of the following special rewards.]
[Please touch the reward you want.]
└ 1. Experience 3x increase buff (limited to 3 rounds)
└ 2. 3,000 gold
└ 3. Information about round 3
‘Same goes for this.’
Without hesitation, Ryu Min chose the experience buff.
There was no reason not to choose an experience buff in the 3rd round, when many monsters appeared.

It was a little after 3 a.m.
“Huh!”
Hwang Yong-min got up from the bed and checked his arms first.
‘There is. Both arms are fully attached!’
Hwang Yong-min felt devastated when his arm was cut off by a black scythe.
I was worried about how I would live without both arms.
‘As expected, my prediction was right. As long as you don’t die, you can return to a healthy body!’
I was so happy that I jumped up and down the bed and waved my arms, but that only lasted for a moment.
A cold sweat ran down my spine as I remembered the player called Black Scythe who had caused me extreme pain.
‘never… … ‘Don’t let the black scythe kill you again.’
There was no such thing as pride.
I didn’t even entertain any useless thoughts, like revenge or anything like that.
Because Hwang Yong-min was weak to the strong.
‘f*ck it, I never want to get involved with a cold-blooded person like that again.’
Hwang Yong-min, disgusted as if just thinking about it gave him goosebumps, picked up his cell phone.
I was worried about my friends’ health.
“Hey, how are you feeling? Are you okay? I also have an arm that wasn’t there. First, call the kids. Let’s get together.”
After calling his friends, Hwang Yong-min left the house and walked down an alley.
There was a group of people smoking cigarettes in an alley illuminated by streetlights.
“Yongmin, are you here?”
They were Iljin friends who returned alive from the second round together.
“This kid’s arms and legs are really fine?”
“You’re completely fine, too? There’s not a single bruise on your face.”
“f*ck, it still hurts when I think about getting hit by the black scythe.”
“iced coffee…….”
My friends trembled when I mentioned the black scythe.
“Let’s make a promise. We will never mention the word ‘black scythe’.”
“Yes, did you see the tally results? That guy alone was level 16.”
“We’re only level 5 and shit….”
“My occupation is also a Shinigami.”
“It’s a real Shinigami. Shinigami….”
It seems like this incident has caused trauma.
‘It’s worth it, f*ck. Everyone almost died because their limbs were cut off, but they barely survived.’
I can say with confidence that there will be no more pain than this.
“That’s what I told you, right? It was a reckless plan to rape Seo-A-Rin. What happens if you attack her for no reason?”
“Look at this bastard? Whenever you get excited about Seo Ah-rin, now you’re pulling me out.”
“Honestly, it wasn’t a reckless plan. It was close to succeeding.”
“That’s right. If only I had killed the bodyguard next to me.”
“Whoa… who would have thought that a black scythe would appear there?”
The friends shook their heads and just smoked cigarettes.
It’s already too late to regret the past.
“But I’m glad. My real body is fine.”
“I’m not going to show up anymore. I’m going to live quietly like an extra. f*ck you!”
“If you just went hunting in the forest instead of chasing after Seo A-rin, you would at least get a reward, damn it!”
“That’s right. If you had reached level 10 and changed jobs, you could have escaped the district representative’s orders.”
“But, the impression of the district representative selected this time was really bad.”
“I heard that you are a gangster of some kind?”
“I saw that he was fighting against the black scythe, so he had courage.”
When the topic turned to the story of the district representative, Hwang Yong-min was pleased.
“Don’t you guys know breakfast and lunch?”
“Who is that?”
“Cho Joong-sik, the boss of the Chinese group! He’s my wannabe! Ah, I don’t know if you’re not interested in gangsters.”
“Kukkuk, Yongmin said your future dream is to become a gangster, so do you already have a role model?”
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk.”
Hwang Yong-min got excited by his friends’ laughter.
“You guys, don’t laugh at me! Am I being serious?”
“So when you voted, did you tell me to make a documentary about my life?”
“Uh, the organization I wanted to join was the Chinese food group. The problem is that I don’t know how to contact them.”
“Since I’m the district representative, I can talk to you in the next round.”
“I’m not going to do that anyway.”
Hwang Yong-min thought.
I plan to visit Jo Jung-sik as soon as I enter the other world next month.
“I have to go and tell them. Ask them to put me in the Chinese food group.”
A smile appeared on Hwang Yongmin’s lips.
I don’t know if they will accept me or not.
* * *
“Thank you for your hard work, Arin.”
“What did I do? The bodyguard worked hard….”
Seo A-rin, who returned from the other world, looked at Ahn Sang-cheol with grateful eyes.
This is Ahn Sang-cheol, who drew his sword to protect himself from his pursuers.
Even if it was a business relationship, I was grateful.
Seo A-rin’s eyes turned to Ahn Sang-cheol’s thighs.
“Are you okay with your injuries?”
“Yes. You’re fine. What about Arin?”
“I’m also clean and without any scars.”
“It’s just as I expected. Even if you get hurt in the other world, your real body seems to be the same.”
“Thank you. For protecting me….”
Ahn Sang-cheol smiled sheepishly at Seo A-rin’s sudden greeting.
“Haha, no. It’s a natural thing to do as a manager and bodyguard.”
To be honest, I was thinking about throwing it away, so I couldn’t help but feel a pang inside.
“I would like to express my gratitude once again to Black Scythe… but is there any other way?”
Ahn Sang-cheol shook his head at Seo A-rin’s words.
“There is no way to find it because we don’t know what it looks like in reality. Moreover, it seems like the Black Scythe doesn’t want its identity discovered.”
“You don’t want it?”
“Didn’t I ask you to call me for your account number to give me a reward? But the fact that you refused right away shows that Black Scythe also knew that you might be able to track yourself in real life with your account number.”
“ah…….”
“If you really want to show your gratitude, how about we meet in the next round and give him an item? Or maybe look for something that can be helpful. Well, I think he’ll survive just fine without our help, but…”
“Hmm… I guess I should do that. I’ll have to think about how I can reward him.”
“Then let’s get some rest today and see you tomorrow morning.”
“all right.”
While Seo A-rin, who greeted him, turned around and thought about it, Ahn Sang-cheol left the penthouse and picked up his cell phone.
It was early in the morning, but I had something to urgently report to.
“Representative Ma?”
-Ah, Director Ahn Sang-cheol.
“You’re not asleep yet?”
-I was drinking some whiskey as soon as I got back.
“I saw the results this time. Congratulations on being promoted to a Dark Knight.”
-With something like that. What happened there?
“Me and Seo A-rin have only reached level 8. It was harder to level up than I thought. We got injured in the middle and had to stop hunting…”
-Are you hurt?
“I’m still going to report this to you… Do you have time? It’s related to the Black Scythe.”
-Black scythe?
The voice on the phone became cold and subdued.
-Come to the hotel. Let’s meet and hear more details.
“Yes, I will be there in 20 minutes.”
After Ahn Sang-cheol hung up the phone, he quickly got into the car.
But he didn’t know.
He never thought there would be someone following him behind him.
