A story about a max level player’s 100th return, Episode 8
8. I’m back
A large department store crowded with people.
Because it is the weekend, three times more people than usual come and go at this time.
“huh?”
The security guard saw an old man.
“Look over there.”
“what? “Who is that crazy bastard?”
An old man without any clothes on was walking towards the department store.
Just by looking at him, he doesn’t look sane.
Citizens, who happened to see something they couldn’t see, screamed and dispersed.
“Hey! grandfather! “What if I walk around without clothes on?”
“If you do this, you could be arrested for public indecency! Do you understand? “Hurry up and get dressed!”
The old man did not even listen to the shouts of the two security guards.
He doesn’t even look at me at all.
I thought he was just mentally unstable, but it seems he was also deaf.
The security guard sighed and said to his colleague.
“First, report it to the police.”
“okay.”
I was just about to take off my jumper to the old man, thinking that I had to cover what needed to be covered.
Sigh!
“uh?”
In the blink of an eye, something that looked like a long black skewer was stuck in my chest.
Slurp slurp-
At the same time, I felt like my energy was being sucked into the skewer.
dump-
A security guard instantly became a mummy and collapsed.
“Huh! f*ck, what!?”
“Aaaah!”
People’s attention was immediately focused on the witness’s screams.
The leader savored the biological energy of the security guard he had absorbed.
“This doesn’t make any difference.”
“what… “Knock!”
Even the remaining security guard had his chest pierced by a skewer.
When he sucked it up like a straw, his skin shriveled and the agent died instantly.
“Hee, hee!”
“It’s a monster!”
monster.
Normally, no one would have paid attention to that cry that only exists in science fiction novels.
However, these generations experienced.
The absurd experience of 1.8 billion people being captured by angels and using superhuman abilities in the name of players.
Therefore, citizens were not that unfamiliar with the word monster.
Although that did not mean accepting the existence of monsters.
“Aaaah!”
“It’s a monster!”
“Everyone run away!”
As the people dispersed, the religious leader raised the corners of his mouth as if he was happy.
“You reacted pretty quickly. But you can’t miss your prey.”
The leader inflated his body and prepared to shoot.
The black raindrops that melted thousands of people.
but.
“What are you doing?”
“… … !”
Hearing the voice of a third person, the leader stopped his attempt.
I turned my head and saw a person leisurely looking around with his arms crossed.
‘When did that guy appear?’
The religious leader clearly had the people around him within his range of awareness.
He was reading every movement of running away.
But suddenly, a human appeared as if he had fallen from the sky.
“What are you doing taking off your clothes? “Are you a pervert?”
“who are you?”
“I asked first. “You monster.”
‘young?’
The word bastard was clearly considered an insult in this world.
‘That person swears at me without fear?’
The leader burst out laughing.
“Are you out of your mind? Or I want to die… … .”
“Hey, can you put something on first? “It looks a bit like that.”

It might look awkward to a naked guy without underwear, but it’s not something you should worry about.
All I had to do was kill him right here.
“die.”
Black water droplets sprouted from the cult leader’s palm.
Papa pa pa paak!
What was fired like a bullet was enough to melt a human being.
however.
“hmm… … ?”
Titting ting ting!
The opponent, who created a black barrier, easily blocked it.
The water droplets that bounced off melted the floor with a hissing sound.
“Shoots out a corrosive liquid… … “I can’t even imagine how many people that would have killed.”
“What are you… … .”
“If I tell you, will you understand?”
A weapon suddenly formed in the opponent’s grasp.
“I’m going to die soon.”
It was a huge scythe.
* * *
Ryumin blocked the attack by erecting a barrier using dark runes and glared at his opponent.
‘It’s this guy. Seeds that Deorant planted all over the world line.’
I could tell just by looking at it.
Where would such a strange creature appear in a world where survival games have ended?
‘It looks like a human on the outside, but I can tell. ‘It’s a strange creature created by an external force.’
It wasn’t that difficult to figure out that it was parasitic using the human body as a host, taking control of the human mind, and reading memories.
Because Ryumin had an inner rune.
‘It came here for the sole purpose of eliminating humans.’
It was fortunate that I was able to find it quickly using the speed of light rune.
If it had been later, people in the department store would have been massacred.
‘After reading your thoughts, it seems like you arrived here after already killing thousands of people.’
We cannot allow greater damage to occur.
Ryumin took out Thanatos’ black scythe.
While we were taking our stances and confronting each other, a shout was heard from behind.
“uh? “Look at that person.”
“I think you’re going to fight that monster?”
“wait for a sec. That scythe… … !?”
“It’s a black scythe!”
“The Black Scythe has come back alive!”
Black Scythe, who survived until the end of the survival game, was a celebrity wherever he went.
Just looking at his signature sickle makes people point and recognize him.
However, you would never imagine that he came from another world line.
‘By the way, I’m in trouble… … ?’
I don’t care if people recognize me.
The problem is that they are not aware that it is a dangerous situation.
‘This is a real situation. There is no time to watch.’
People, whether aware of Ryumin’s feelings or not, did not run away and just watched calmly.
“Hehe.”
As people approached, the leader grinned and puffed up his body.
A feast of black liquid scattering immediately afterwards.
Papapak!
“Aaaahhh!”
Cheeeeeek!
“My face!”
People who were unable to avoid the liquid scream and fall down.
Fortunately, it didn’t happen right away.
It was something that would happen 7 seconds in the future, as seen through the future vision runes.
‘We have to stop him right now. Otherwise, people will be drowned by liquid like the future we just saw.’
In this case, there is only one answer.
‘Put it into the gap in space and time.’
Ryumin immediately opened space and time and went in with the guy.
The best way to protect people was to completely separate them from this world.
“hmm… … ?!”
In the process of inflating your body.
As we entered an abyss-like space, the religious leader was taken aback.
“This place… … A gap in space and time?”
In an instant, I was trapped in a four-dimensional space where time did not pass.
You will never be able to escape until Ryumin frees you.
“How did this happen…?” … “Is it really you who dragged me here?”
“Who would have done that if not me?”
“How can a mere human have this kind of power…?” … ?”
“Do I still look like just a human being?”
As he approached with a ferocious force, aiming his scythe, an unprecedented tension appeared on the cult leader’s face.
“You guy. What is it… … .”
“Do you know if I tell you?”
Instead of answering, Ryumin swung his sickle.
Kaaaang!
In an instant, the leader hardened the black liquid and blocked it like a shield.
Kang! Kang! Kakak!
I swung it a few more times, but it blocked surprisingly well.
But that’s only for a moment.
A smile appeared on Ryumin’s lips.
“I knew how strong the defense was… … Now, let’s see how quick you are.”
“what?”
In an instant, a light flashed and the leader’s head fell like a flash of lightning.
Tuk-
I thought it was over, but as if that wasn’t enough to kill him, the head’s body still moves.
“It may not be able to react to a certain speed, but if you look at the fact that it didn’t die even when its head was hit, its life is tough. then… … .”
Lightning flashed from Ryumin’s grasp.
“What happens if lightning destroys it?”
“Now, wait… !”
It’s a joke!
Magic damage based on billions of ridiculous stats exploded through the lightning runes.
In an instant, the cult leader’s body became completely black, as if it had been roasted in a fire, and stopped moving.
‘Is he dead?’
It appears to be completely dead, as there is no movement and no thoughts can be read.
Deciding that it was now safe, the space-time barrier was lifted.
“uh? appear!”
“A black scythe has appeared!”
“That monster earlier… … ?”
“I think it’s been dealt with?”
While people were buzzing, Ryumin looked at the system message that appeared in the corner of his field of vision.
[Hero’s Rune Stack: 100/100]
[All stats increase by 100 due to the hero’s rune effect.]
[You can use ‘Hero’s Protection’ by consuming 100 stacks.]
‘The hero’s rune stack has accumulated.’
The hero’s rune stack accumulates each time a person is saved.
By just killing the cult leader, you have saved more than 100 citizens, so you have reached your limit.
‘Good. I was still worried that Won left me alone.’
If you place the hero’s protection, which activates invincibility in times of danger, on your younger brother, you will be able to remove the seeds with more peace of mind.
‘The police have arrived. There’s nothing good about staying any longer.’
Looking at the police in the distance, Ryumin spread the wings of darkness behind his back.
fluttering-
“Huh!?”
“Black scythe! Where are you going!”
Leaving behind the cries of citizens, Ryumin flew high into the sky.
* * *
In a house filled with silence.
The sudden appearance of his older brother confused Ryu Won.
‘Brother… … ‘I was alive.’
Apparently, my brother’s body was placed in the funeral home.
He even threw his brother’s body, which was incinerated and left only as bone dust, directly into the sea.
‘But how… … ?’
If it had been buried in the ground, it would have been considered a miraculous return, but the body was cremated.
There is absolutely no way to return.
‘Could it be that I was hallucinating? … ?’
Isn’t there a saying like that?
It is said that when it is time to die, the memories of our lifetime pass by like a flash of light.
In a similar vein, isn’t it possible that he was having hallucinations because he was so obsessed with longing for his older brother?
‘Well, how can my cremated brother come back alive?’
Ryu Won sighed while stroking his still numb neck.
I immediately shook it off and silently threw the rope into the trash can.
‘I won’t commit suicide.’
A completely different mindset than before.
The reason I was able to do that was none other than my brother’s welcome.
No matter how hard it is, the living must live.
Ryu Won gained courage when he heard his older brother say that he would never forgive him if he died.
The courage to go through the world without my brother.
“I was short-thinking, bro. You’re giving up on life because you don’t have a brother… … .”
Just 16 years old.
It’s still too early to give up on life.
Even my brother in heaven wouldn’t tolerate that.
“My brother went through many hardships and hardships to live tenaciously… … All I can do is feel bad about not having an older brother, and treat him like a pamper… … .”
A deep sigh escaped Ryu Won’s mouth.
“I’m a stupid idiot.”
“Do you know that now?”
“… !!!”
My head quickly turned when I heard a voice from behind me.
It was a welcome voice that I could never forget.
“Tongue, bro… … ?”
“Wonah.”
As Ryu Min approached, Ryu Won began to behave strangely.
Shake your head vigorously and blink your eyes a few times.
It seemed like he was checking to see if he was seeing something in vain.
“… … Why doesn’t it go away? “I guess it’s an illusion?”
“You’re not welcome.”
Ryumin smiled as if to reassure him.
“I’m really back.”
