Solo Max-Level Newbie

. Kwon Cheon Ji-ryong

A disciple of 'Amhuang (暗皇)' (2)

The 8th floor of the Tower of Trials.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this place, which is a maze of 10,000 km and made up of the entire floor, is a natural rough terrain.

Thousands of passageways and countless traps seemed to show how difficult it was to get through.

'I used to come here often to play... .'

Jinhyuk, who was standing alone a few hundred meters from the entrance of the maze, pondered the memories of the past.

Searching the entire 10,000km maze in search of the Easter Egg hidden by the operator... After that, it was a memory that I can talk about with a smile.

right then

Someone appeared from the shadows.

Master. Thirty black winds, all are ready.

A rather dwarf body of 170 cm.

The boy with long straight hair and white skin bowed his head politely.

As a limb sent by Yang Myung on his behalf... .

His name was 'Wolyeong', maybe?

Homyeong said that he was one of the most talented people in the group.

I shouted loudly that I would never hold my ankle.

The interior seems to have been finely chopped, but from the outside it looks like it's completely inconsequential.

'How about the interior room?'

Jinhyuk used 'Eyes of Gluttony' to check his status window.

[[Detailed explanation: Wolyeong is a memorization of the Black Punghoe that was taken from Homyeong Yang before she was even born as an orphan of Cheonae. It specializes in assassination of factors and escorts, so it can be a very effective tool if you use it by your side. However, the way of thinking of the subject is 'a little']

Because they are different, very careful handling is required.]

[Copy condition: Currently, Wolyeong is not with you because of trust, but because of the order of the nurse. If you can earn his loyalty, you can copy one of the target's unique abilities and skills.]

A unique ability that specializes in long-distance as well as medium- and short-range attacks using shadows, 'Shadow Killing (陰影亟殺)'.

'Oh.'

This turned out to be quite tasty.

Thanks to the lie that he was a disciple of the dark hwang, the number of cards that can be used in various ways increased significantly.

Not only Yeongwol, but also the 30 elite members of the Black Wind Club borrowed this time will be very useful in attacking the tower.

This time, the gaze turned to the copy condition.

You have to earn loyalty... .

'Honestly, it's not a difficult ability because loyalty will rise if I know enough.'

He never doubted that Yeongwol would become his person if he behaved as usual.

Toughness is toughness. Skill is skill. Welfare is welfare.

He has all the qualities a leader should have as a representative of the Goin Corporation.

'I'll have to go slowly now. Let's keep our distance and try to understand the situation first.'

Jinhyuk moved to a place where the entrance to the maze was clearly visible.

Whoops!

A fairly large number of players were gathered at the entrance.

There were also some familiar guild marks.

They were busy taking care of the ball and everything, but the guilds who were not invited there seemed to be in full swing to attack the tower.

After all, now is the perfect time for the second-ranked players to hit the top.

By the way.

'Hmm?'

Jinhyuk looked around and saw a familiar figure.

A woman with long hair hanging down.

That was Melena of the Mine Association.

His face was half covered with oversized sunglasses, but everyone he knew was recognizable.

'What did he come here for?'

It is not a noble will to attack the tower for the future of mankind... .

I've been thinking too quiet lately, but it smells too suspicious.

All you have to do is ask directly to confirm.

I'm going to talk to that girl for a while. Don't do anything that catches people's eyes and just hide. Can you do that?

Is there any reason we have to hide?

You look pretty smooth, but the rest of you look terrifying that you'll run into them at night. Do I really have to say these things out of my mouth?

Imagine a bunch of men with scars and shaggy beards roaming Ururu in black.

Is that a stealth maneuver? It's like a walking billboard.

No, it might be lucky if you don't report it to the police station or get caught.

In my opinion, it is not understandable to say that appearance is a problem. Rather, a strong impression can be a means of overpowering the opponent in battle.

Wolyeong tilted her head as if she didn't really understand.

It reminds me of someone who lives somewhere clogged up.

If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's that you shouldn't try to persuade these guys by using common sense.

Jinhyeok brought out a magical word that was unconditionally eaten only in black wind sashimi.

To achieve the cause of Heavenly Demon Protestantism, the fewer people you know, the better. So follow me.

The fewer people you know... yep. I understand what you mean.

Wol-young nodded as if he understood.



Jin-hyeok, who had fallen from Wol-young, went straight to where Melena was.

Among the players, there was a woman who was caught thinking deeply about something.

Hey. Do you see everything in a place like this?

Jinhyuk smiled brightly and handed him a greeting.

Of course, from Melena's point of view, it was just like being struck by lightning in the dry sky.

You, you...!

Don't say it out loud. Isn't it you rather than me who loses when you draw people's attention here?

The devil roams in broad daylight. The world has gotten so much better.

If you unpack the bowl once here, I think you can watch Melena roaring on the firewood... .

Where do you really want to try it? It's just that the tongues are about to come out of your mouth.

that's !

Melena glanced around and looked around.

Fortunately, everyone was preoccupied with getting ready to enter the maze, so no one cared.

so far it is

Oh, I see. I see! I'll tell you anything. First of all, move.

It's a wise decision.

Jinhyuk followed Melena into the forest.

It was only after arriving a little far from the entrance that I was able to be free from the gaze of the people around me.

Tell me. Why are the demons interested in the 8th floor? Let's hear from that and judge.

Melena flinched at Jinhyuk's question.

However, it was only for a while.

He realized that he could not be deceived with any lie or excuse.

Actually, a unique mana was discovered a few days ago, although it was actually discovered by accident by one of my maze colleagues.

A unique mana?

You would know.

About the 'double wave'.

Appears when a connection is made between the floor and the floor....

Yeah, that's right. It means that a passage is connected between the 8th and 9th floors. I came here to investigate it in earnest.

The 8th floor, where the entire floor is only a maze, and the 9th floor, where medium-sized monsters are lined up, are connected.

At that fact, goosebumps arose throughout Jinhyuk's whole body.

'no way It means that the two classes have been united.'

That must mean that the difficulty level here has increased ridiculously.

How many players have entered the maze?

Jinhyuk asked urgently.

"There were quite a few. As you know, there are a lot of people who want to become heroes, right? A large-scale American guild is still in the process."

It's already late.

There were more questions to ask Melena, but not right now.

Follow me.

Jinhyuk grabbed Melena's wrist tightly.

Come on, wait! Me too...?

Of course you have to go inside.

Where are you going to get away by yourself?

A company and an employee are destined communities that live together even if they die and die together.

Melena tried to escape somehow, but Jinhyuk was not able to release the fish he had caught once.

However.

Jinhyeok, who arrived at Yeongwol, had to be engulfed in a huge shock again.

My head is throbbing.

I had no choice but to do so.

Because there were Yeongwol, who was showing their shoulders in triumph, and the players lying down with their foam in front of them.

Of the hundreds of players, not a single one was conscious.

Uh-huh...

Let's be patient.

Maybe it's because he's still a kid.

Above all, there may be a surprisingly plausible excuse here.

Explain. Short version.

Didn't your lord say? You should avoid seeing if possible.

"It was it was."

Obviously, that's what he said.

But did you stun them all?

I have only followed the solemn orders of which I belong.

Yeongwol bowed his head as if he was embarrassed, and was polite.

Now I understand what the system was saying.

The way of thinking is 'a little' different from others

I said that it would not be easy to deal with because it was different.

Jinhyuk pressed his temple with his index finger.

Okay. Get ready to go into the maze right now.

There are already players inside. We must hurry before they all turn into corpses.



A large number of players were gathered at a point about 20km away from the entrance of the maze.

The loss of contact again...

the man muttered

One of the five largest guilds in the United States, 'Lockheed'.

And the man was an AAA ranker, one of the main pillars of the guild, and had the name 'Jack Friedman'.

Although he was in a position that everyone would envy, Friedman's expression was not so bright.

yea that's the way it is

The power brought in to break through the maze on the 8th floor was the main raid of the Lockheed Guild.

This means that only players who have received a grade A or higher and have experience in attacking up to the 10th floor or higher have been selected.

By the way.

Strangely, the previously successful maze felt too heavy.

' different.'

This is not to say that the complexity of the maze or the difficulty of the traps are simply difficult.

Rather, something fundamental had changed.

The sticky air that clings to the whole body.

It didn't feel right at the entrance, but as he went inside, his doubts turned into certainty.

Friedman glanced at the status window floating in the air.

[0h:0m:1s]

The status window displaying the time has just been exhausted.

Beep! Beep!

A loud beep sounded.

The atmosphere around him subsided even more heavily.

"Captain of Engineering. Just three hours have passed."

3 hours.

It meant the time that had elapsed since Katie, who was leading the scout team, went inside.

At the same time, it meant that none of the 13 scouts had returned.

Damn it.

Friedman bit his molar.

What is it that means that the contact between the scouts and their families is lost?

He knew the premise of minimizing the risk of the main force, but he could no longer continue making meaningless sacrifices.

at last.

Ranger is waiting. Lloris, Michael. Take the lead. We'll go inside.

The players made up of tanks and dealers decided to go inside.
