Episode 9 of the max level player’s 100th regression
9. 101st Democratic Party (Bottom)
Round 2 has begun.
Contrary to concerns, this round was simple.
‘If I just vote, they’ll pass it all?’
It’s such an easy mission that I almost have doubts.
‘But do we need a 3-hour time limit?’
There is too much time to discuss who will be the representative.
I have no desire to get in the middle of discussions and talk.
‘But there’s nothing else to do… … huh?’
As I looked around, I happened to see a group entering the forest.
‘Why do you go in there? Are they people like me who are not interested in voting?’
Even so, why do you go into the forest?
With an alien body that has never drank anything, there would be no need to urinate.
I was curious so I followed him.
It wouldn’t look good if I followed him, so I walked a little further away.
However, I encountered an unexpected being.
“Kikikick!”
“Mo, a monster?”
A goblin similar to the goblin from round 1, but dressed in more colorful clothes, was staring at me with red eyes.
‘Oh, what should I do? ‘Do I have to fight alone?’
I looked around, but there was no one.
[Currently overlapping shield 0/10]
To make matters worse, there is no protective shield.
Rune’s shortcomings were clearly revealed.
‘If there are no players, it’s as if there are no runes.’
deadwood.
As those words came to mind, the hobgoblin rushed in.
Holding a long knife like a kukri that appears to be used for hunting.
‘ah… … .’
That moment when I was embarrassed because I had never faced a monster alone before.
“This way! Hey!”
A man rushed towards me while shouting and suddenly plunged his dagger into me.
“Keeeeeeet… … .”
A man pulled out a dagger, looking at the guy who, although threatening, had the same stamina as a first-round goblin and died in one hit.
“Whew. It was almost dangerous. Are you okay?”
“Ah yes. Okay, thank you.”
Min Joo-ri, who was suddenly saved, bowed her head sincerely.
In the meantime, I couldn’t see where the man’s eyes were directed.
“It’s dangerous to enter the forest. As you can see, monsters appear.”
Min Joo-ri’s gaze naturally turned upward as she watched the man explaining kindly.
Nickname [Park Chan-seong].
This person saved him.
“Come over here. “Let me introduce you to the rest of the group.”
Min-ri Min, who suddenly followed the man, was soon able to face the group.
A total of four people.
It was the same group that had entered the forest earlier.
“You know the nickname when you see it, right? Dear democracy. I won’t really explain it. Well, there’s no point in introducing yourself in this world, right? “It’s not like we can meet outside.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Minjoo-ri, who appropriately disagreed, carefully looked at people’s nicknames and appearances.
The four men, including Park Chan-seong, were ordinary-looking people commonly seen outside.
Perhaps that’s why Min-ri Min was nervous.
If I had a scary face, I think I probably wouldn’t have been nervous.
“What were you doing here, democracy?”
“Well, I was just looking around to see what was in the forest. “What about that one?”
“It’s the same reason for us. “The idea was to at least look around rather than have a meaningless discussion for three hours.”
“Oh, do you know each other?”
“yes. “They are neighborhood friends.”
Four friends are participating in a game of death at once.
There is no luck or support.
‘But if I go around with these people, I can feel safe even if monsters come out.’
There is a sense of stability when moving around, but more than anything, you can clearly see the rune effect.
[Currently overlapping shield 4/10]
Aren’t there 4 shields stacked like now?
‘Of course, since there is only one per person, refills are not possible. but… … .’
Minjoo-ri realized.
It makes all the difference whether there is a protective shield or not.
It’s like the difference between a bungee jumping belt with and without a belt wrapped around it.

There is a clear difference in mental stability.
That’s why I suggested it first.
“Hey, if you’re going hunting, can you join me too?”
He asked me to join him in the hunting too.
Park Chan-sung grinned, as if he had already been waiting for those words.
“I am in favor. “What about the others?”
“Oh, me too.”
“me too.”
That was the moment when a five-person party was formed.
* * *
“Keeeeek!”
“Kit!”
Unlike before, the hobgoblins are running away.
Not wanting to miss it, Minjoo-ri quickly chased after him.
Squeak!
The kukri used by the hobgoblins left a deep scar on his back.
The other players were cutting at the fallen guy.
Puff! Sigh!
[The Hobgoblin has been defeated!]
[Experience +3%]
[Gold+15]
Experience points and gold went to Min-ri Min, who contributed the most.
The person who took the lead in fighting off the goblins was none other than Min Joo-ri.
“Dear democracy. How can you be so bold?”
“Are there any tank-related runes? “You run in so fearlessly.”
“haha… … “I’m not really scared.”
Although he said that half-jokingly, he seemed to believe it was real.
Since I am also human, I am scared.
Who wouldn’t go crazy and jump into three hobgoblins with their bare body?
However, the source of confidence that made it possible to do so was in the runes.
‘Because I have the rune of protection, I can jump in with confidence.’
Because Min-ri Min was confident that she would not die even if she jumped in, she was able to make bolder and more confident moves.
As a result, he achieved the feat of killing the hobgoblins without a single wound, and was able to establish himself as the undisputed ace of the party.
Of course, Minjoo-ri did not achieve this feat alone.
“Singyeongcheol. “Thank you for the buff.”
“Oh, no.”
“Anyway, it’s amazing to think about it again. “A rune that can apply a buff.”
Immediately after Min-ri Min joined, a man with the nickname [Syeong-cheol Shin] revealed.
He says he has the [Rune of Glory].
‘You said it’s a rune that increases the luck stat of people around you, right?’
If you were really by his side, your luck stat increased by 5.
In short, it’s like a walking buff.
‘I don’t know what effect the luck stat has. but… … .’
I don’t know if it was the placebo effect, but I really felt like my luck had improved.
There were times when I was lucky and the monster died in one hit.
‘First of all, survival is important in this world, so I should focus on agility.’
Originally, Minjoo-ri was investing in strength stats.
Since there was a rune of protection, I decided it would be better to use the power I was lacking.
However, I realized it through an experience a little while ago.
In a situation where you are dealing with monsters alone, even the rune of protection is useless.
‘I have to protect myself. So, I should focus on raising agility, and use strength as a secondary stat.’
I didn’t think about taking pictures of intelligence or luck stats because I couldn’t tell what exactly their effects were.
There is no need to take unnecessary risks.
It was a time when hunting continued for a long time.
[Your level has risen!]
[You have reached level 10.]
[You can now use the store.]
[The conditions for job change have been met.]
[There is a hidden sub-quest!]
‘huh? Subquest?’
Surprised, Minjoo-ri paid attention to the emerging message.
└Change jobs before voting time
└Get job change items and get a job!
└If successful ▶ Receive a 50% discount coupon for today’s item!
‘Change jobs? ‘Before voting time?’
This is the first time I found out that I can change jobs at level 10.
Also the fact that the subquest is hidden.
“Democracy? “Why are you doing this?”
“Oh, no. “I was looking at the status window for a moment.”
“I see. “We’ve been hunting quite a bit. Why don’t we take a little rest?”
“Ah, yes.”
People took a break without any doubts due to Minjoo-ri’s excuse.
Of course, since it was a dangerous situation where you never knew when a monster might appear, everyone rested against a tree.
‘It would be better not to reveal that I reached level 10 alone. ‘Because it may cause unnecessary jealousy.’
But that didn’t change anything.
There was no information on how to obtain job change items.
At that time, Park Chan-seong came next to me.
“Dear democracy. “Are you having a hard time?”
“Haha, no.”
“I saw you fighting really well earlier, right? “Isn’t that just like being a special forces soldier in this life?”
“No, no. “I’m just an ordinary student.”
“student? Are you a high school student?”
“I’m an adult now. “I graduated.”
“oh… … That’s good. “Would you like to meet us outside after this round?”
“yes?”
“First of all, what is your real name?”
What are we going to do?
Those words were the only thoughts on my mind right now.
I almost lost my senses due to the sudden progress.
“Why do you ask that… … ?”
“why. “Don’t you want to meet me outside?”
“… … .”
“You can’t answer. “You don’t like it?”
“… … “Why are you asking that?”
“uh? Seeing as you didn’t say it clearly, doesn’t it seem surprising that you don’t like it? haha.”
Park Chan-sung laughs at what’s so funny.
Even though Minjoo-ri’s reaction is nothing short of cold.
“Ah, you were taken aback when they suddenly asked your name. haha. I am saying this with courage because I like Mr. Democracy. To be honest, you’re my style. The face and the body… … .”
“It’s uncomfortable to do this.”
“i know. So, how about we meet alone outside? quietly. “The world looks like it’s going to shit anyway, so shouldn’t we enjoy what we have to enjoy?”
“… … .”
He was an unpleasant man.
There was a reason why he was nice to me from the beginning.
He was hiding his dark inner thoughts.
This was revealed towards the end of the round.
“no, I do not want.”
He said it clearly.
At that rejection, Park Chan-sung’s expression changed.
“If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. There’s no need to be so honest, right?”
The tone of speech also changed.
Instead, he gets angry as if he is even more displeased.
“Chansung. stop.”
“Stop doing something. Look at this bitch’s attitude. “There’s nothing cheap about it.”
Min Joo-ri was not angry at the 180-degree change in attitude, but was just bewildered.
I was just dazed by the feeling of skepticism that I had seen the bare face of a human being.
“I saved your life in the beginning and have treated you kindly so far, but what? You don’t want to meet me? Ah, it’s crazy to think about all the work I’ve done.”
It seems that he thought he could get the feelings of someone he met for the first time just by hunting together for about 3 hours.
There is no separate loading dock.
But what he really wanted was not a woman’s heart.
“Catch that bitch.”
“Why, why are you like this?”
Following Park Chan-sung’s instructions, other friends suddenly grabbed both arms.
Perhaps because he was disappointed that he could not appease his s*xual desires, Park Chan-sung faltered in his pants dance.
“I wasn’t going to go this far, but I couldn’t do it. If you’re going to do it, it’s better to do it in another world where there is no evidence. is not it?”
“Let go of this!”
Minjoo-ri resisted fiercely.
I thought I would be able to shake it off because I had enough strength, but I was wrong.
It looks like the other guys also had strength stats.
“Hold on tight. “I will taste it first and then give it to you.”
“Okay, I agree.”
“Do it quickly. “Because we don’t have much time.”
The three people smiled sinisterly, but a variable arose in an unexpected place.
Bah!
“Oops!”
Shin Kyeong-cheol, who was worse off, hit the back of the head with the club he had already picked up.
“Ahh, hey, Shin Gyeong-cheol! Are you crazy?”
“Well, you are the ones who are crazy. What is this doing? “Are you out of your mind?”
“Ha, you stuffy bastard! Are you saying I’ll let you get rid of my virginity? You’ll get a chance too, so just watch the day… … .”
Sreung.
Min-ri Min-ri’s kukri touched the side of Park Chan-sung’s neck.
With a single blow, he was freed from oppression.
“You have nothing to say even if you die, right?”
“S-sorry. “Save me.”
“Just look at it once. go away.”
Min-ri Min said that and released the men.
Since Minjoo-ri was not inferior in terms of level or stats, I was confident that I would win if there was an official match.
He also wears a rune of protection, which is a source of confidence.
Park Chan-sung raised his hands and stepped away, but then changed his target.
To Shin Gyeong-cheol, the traitor next to him.
“이 개새끼가!”
Sigh!
“Huh!”
“I took you around just because you were easy, but then you betrayed me?”
Puff puff!
The dagger continues to stab Shin Gyeong-cheol in the stomach.
Minjoo-ri, surprised, rushed over without delay.
Suddenly!
“Ahh! My, my arm!”
He mercilessly cut off his forearm and swung the knife to prevent others from approaching.
“Do not come! “If you come close, I will cut you down!”
Min Joo-ri, who protected Shin Gyeong-cheol, checked his well-being from the corner of her eye.
The condition is not good, as you can clearly see the blood leaking from the stomach.
‘What do we do? I’m going to die like this.’
At best, there was nothing he could do other than protect Shin Gyeong-cheol from being touched.
But Minjoo-ri didn’t know.
I had no idea that was the drop condition for the former item.
[You saved the player with the buff from danger.]
[The previous item ‘Buffer’s Grace’ has been acquired.]
* * *
After the end of the second round, Minjoo-ri became a buffer.
‘The man must have lived, right?’
It was only this time that I learned that as long as I don’t die in the other world, I can return to a healthy body.
‘Did you say it was Shin Gyeong-cheol?’
If it weren’t for that man, he might have been in a terrible situation.
It was he, not Chan-sung Park, who was the lifesaver.
‘Please don’t be mistreated by your friends in real life… … .’
I was worried, but I didn’t even think to look for him because I didn’t know where he lived.
Those thoughts were forgotten after I happened to see my first love, Ryumin, at a convenience store.
Afterwards, I was shocked when I found out that his nickname was Black Scythe, the number one player in the entire district.
“My nickname is Black Scythe.”
“what? lie. “You’re ranked number one?”
“You may not believe it, but it’s true.”
When Ryumin takes out a scythe, surprise flashes across Minjoo-ri’s face.
“Really? Wow, that’s amazing. “My friend is ranked #1!”
I was truly impressed, and from the 5th round, when the districts were integrated, I took action with Ryu Min.
We hunted together, went through hardships and adversity together, and as a result, we were able to reach the final round.
Even the wish room that can only be fulfilled by those who see the end of the round.
‘The wish I make is… … okay. ‘I decided on that.’
