A story about a max level player’s 100th return, Episode 43
43. Phantom
The level of security in Nigeria is poor.
There is nothing more to say since all kinds of evil, such as robberies, kidnappings, and thefts, occur even in broad daylight, and the country is designated as a level 3 travel alert to which travel is not recommended.
However, this is true only in the northern region where the IS armed group is active.
This was not the case for Victor and Sophia, who are from Lagos in the south.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t be careful.
“brother. “Do you really have to go?”
“I have to go. “You can’t deny that you need a doctor’s help, right?”
“still. It’s a place that touches the north. “It’s dangerous.”
“Militants will not infiltrate up to that point. “It’s safe.”
“still… … .”
“late. “I’ll go quickly!”
Victor smiled as if telling her not to worry, patted Sophia’s head and turned his back.
But Victor never dreamed that he might not be able to return.

Ta-ta-ta-tang! Ta-ta-ta-tang!
Fire sprays from the rifle.
Every time that happens, the people who were running away fall like reeds.
Victor, like the other people huddled in the village, did not even think of running away out of fear.
“Did you see it well? “That’s what happens when you run away.”
“Please, save me. please… … .”
bang!
A hole appeared in the forehead of the old man who was rubbing his hands.
“Even if you talk nonsense, you’ll die. Just stay still. okay?”
People couldn’t even answer out of fear.
One wrong word and you could die.
It’s like the life of Paris.
Victor bitterly regretted his choice.
‘ha… Why did you come here… … .’
There are not as many doctors in Nigeria as in other countries.
This means that they are equivalent to high-quality human resources.
It also meant that it was difficult to get medical help in this small town on the southern tip of the country.
But Victor came here after hearing that the village needed a doctor.
I didn’t care if I was on the border with the dangerous North.
Because I couldn’t ignore people who needed help.
However, it did not mean that he wanted to help even at the cost of his life.
‘Now I’m going to die. There’s no way those vicious bastards will let us live… … .’
Victor sighed, but unfortunately, he seemed to have been noticed.
“Hey, wake up.”
“… … .”
“The guy who just sighed, wake up!”
Victor froze and didn’t know what to do.
“Wake up, you bastard!”
In the end, the terrorist grabbed him roughly and Victor had to be thrown away.
“Does this bastard sigh? “Let’s see if I can rest even after death.”
The gun was pointed and Victor felt death.
“teacher!”
“Oh my, you doctor!”
The villagers were saddened by the sight, and they gave up hope that Victor would survive.
But fortunately.
“doctor?”
His job saved his life.
The terrorist’s gun was lowered as if he knew that the doctor was valuable.
“Are you really a doctor?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Where are you from?”
“I’m from Lagos.”
“If you have a certificate, show it to me.”
Victor showed his qualifications to survive.
When it was confirmed that he was a doctor from the city, the armed group’s attitude changed.
“Hey, Hank! “This person is a doctor!”
“Did you find the doctor?”
“uh. Should I spare him?”
Hank’s head nodded.
Victor felt relieved for a moment, but it was only later that he realized that this did not mean that he would be released.
“Take him.”
“okay. Come on. “A good doctor.”

“Uh, where are you going?”
“I don’t know anything about that. “You will be with us from now on.”
I knew what that meant without having to ask any more.
‘me… ‘You plan to treat me like a slave.’
It is unlikely that an armed group that carries out terrorism against the country will simply exchange hostages.
They used it to take care of their own wounds.
‘Damn it. My medical skills… It should be used against terrorists, not people who really need help… … .’
The future looked good to my eyes.
* * *
Victor’s prediction became a reality.
“You are our dedicated doctor from now on. We’ll get you all the medical supplies you need, so if any of us are hurt, take care of them. Do you understand?”
“… … .”
“The cub has no answer. What? “Aren’t you going to relax your expression?”
“… Ah, I understand.”
The place they took Victor to was an unknown garrison.
There were more terrorists than those who had invaded the village.
As an estimate, the number is about 100.
Victor was the only doctor here.
He was the only slave.
“Don’t even think about running away, doctor. There is no mercy if you get caught while running away. “I just need to find another doctor.”
“… … .”
“It would be psychologically better to give up on escaping and adapt to life here. You make me eat, I make you do work, you make me sleep, you do everything, right? Think positively and positively. If you haven’t followed up like the villager before, where are you? is not it? Compared to that, this is heaven, huh? “Tsk!”
It was bullshit, but the reality that it couldn’t be refuted because it was bullshit was deplorable.
‘I can’t go back home anymore…’ … .’
I missed my sister Sophia.
I don’t want to end my life being treated like a dog in a place like this.
‘But that doesn’t give me the courage to run away.’
I hate to admit it, but what the terrorist just said was true.
I had to adapt.
Staying depressed will only make your body sick.
‘I shouldn’t even dream of escaping for the time being.’
If you have false hopes, you will only feel sad.
Later on, you may get caught up in the wind and act unexpectedly.
Right now, we have to hang out with this 100-strong armed group that treats human life as worthless than flies.
I had no idea how to get out of here.
‘I have no choice but to live quietly, like a dead rat.’
It was a situation where there seemed no hope.
‘Please, I hope it’s just a dream after I sleep.’
It was Victor who was trying to sleep with that feeling in mind.
“Keuuuu!”
“Ahh!”
“Kuhuhuh!”
A short scream was heard simultaneously.
Victor woke up in surprise and moved as if fascinated, following the sound he could still hear.
Then I saw it.
“What is this…?” … !”
Terrorists were lying down in the middle of the night.
‘Lord, he is dead.’
I could tell just by looking at the face.
Because it looked like a dried up mummy.
Strange phenomena also occurred elsewhere.
“Kyaak!”
“Ha!”
I ran again to the place where I heard the screams, and found the same situation had happened.
‘Woah, it’s dead here too.’
Everyone here, there, even the people who were on guard outside!
About 100 armed groups were completely destroyed in less than a minute.
Serene silence.
There were no surviving terrorists around.
now.
“under… haha… … .”
I started laughing without even realizing it.
I don’t even know if I’m laughing or laughing.
I don’t know what it was, but if I wanted to escape, now was my chance.
Victor’s steps as he hurried down the mountain were lighter than ever.

-What did you do in Nigeria?
-The IS armed group was destroyed. Of course, it was the host who did it, not me.
-How much did you eliminate?
-Exactly 1,249 people were killed in one night.
-Those bastards are worth dying for.
After hearing the report from the commander, Iscariot, Ryumin remembered one person.
Speaking of Nigeria, I became curious about his life and death.
‘Is Victor doing well?’
After creating the 102nd world line, I didn’t pay much attention to how Victor was living.
‘Shall we take a look now?’
Ryumin used [God’s Eye], one of the dimensional management functions.
Like Clairvoyance, which I gained as a temporary skill, it was an ability that allowed me to see a desired location or object with a third party’s eyes.
The difference is that you can see through and hear the sounds of the scene directly.
‘There it is.’
Victor was caught in Ryumin’s sight.
It seemed like he had reunited with Sophia in front of the house.
-brother! Where did you go and where are you now? Do you know how much I found? Not even answering the phone!
-Sorry, Sophia. I had some work to do.
-What happened? There was no contact for several days. I tried contacting the village where my brother applied, but no one answered.
-An armed group invaded the village. A lot of people died.
-What?
Sophia’s face became thoughtful.
Unlike him, Victor was calm, as if he was talking about someone else’s business.
-Fortunately, I was able to survive thanks to my status as a doctor. I was taken to their base.
-I’m sorry. I didn’t even know something like that happened… are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?
-As you can see, he’s fine. I thought I’d never see you again… It’s good to see you like this, my little brother.
Only then did Victor smile.
He is somewhat similar to Ryu Min in that he is the younger brother.
-Anyway, what happened? How did you survive the armed group’s camp?
-When I woke up, the terrorists suddenly screamed and turned into mummies. Everyone there.
-entire?
-huh. Thanks to this, I was able to escape without anyone interfering.
-that… It’s the same thing [Phantom] did, right?
-Phantom? What is it?
-Did you not see the news? These days, people who have committed bad things are dying. And all over the world.
-Um, worldwide?
This time Victor’s eyes widened.
-huh. According to eyewitnesses, a dark shadow appears, punishes the wicked, and then disappears. The common characteristic of evil people, without exception, is that they become as thin as a mummy. That’s why he’s called Phantom. It is said that ghosts are judging the wicked.
-ah… … .
-You also received help from the phantom?
-It seems like that when I listen to it.
-Anyway, I’m glad. My brother came back alive.
The two lightly hugged and Ryumin released God’s eyes.
-Iscariot.
-Yes, creation… No, Black Scythe.
-Does the media call the hosts phantoms?
-That’s right. I said I would be as careful as possible… It’s not easy to do this in a place where there are no witnesses, and the evidence of bio-energy absorption is very clear… … .
-You don’t have to bother explaining. I wasn’t trying to say anything, I was just asking. I also never thought I could hide it forever.
-ah… You already guessed it. After all, there is no one who can follow the Creator’s wisdom… … .
-It happens again. I’ll stop and stop contacting you here. How much time has passed already?
-Is there anything you need to see urgently?
A calm smile spread across Ryumin’s lips.
-It’s time to go pick up my son.
