Solo Max-Level Newbie

. path of choice (1)

Jinhyuk, who dealt with the players in an instant, retrieved the twin dragon swords.

'The rest of the fanatics will take care of it.'

As long as the breaker is gone, there is nothing the fanatics can do.

At best, it will only be enough to fight back with a toothed blade.

Now all that's left is to deal with the teacher.

'Then, I think I need only one person to guide the way.'

You can visit it by yourself, but there was a fear of delay because there were more than ten hiding places for the headmaster.

'I don't like that.'

The answer is to get out of this bloody place as soon as possible.

Jinhyuk moderately looked around.

Oh!

Finally, there is one that catches my eye.

That guy. Contemplation is the guide to heavenly life.

Not like a fanatic, he seemed less (?) crazy.

He was a hard-to-find talent here.

'Okay, I decided on you.'

Jinhyuk quickly flew away and subdued the opponent in an instant.

Since he was so preoccupied with escaping, he rested more than he expected.

Sin, I'm sorry! Please save me. Please save me. I don't want to die...

A girl with short hair screamed.

'This is true.'

I just lightly pressed my shoulder,

Anyone who hears it would think that even one arm was cut off.

Calm down. If you stay calm, I won't kill you.

I, really?

If I was going to kill you, I wouldn't even have such a troublesome conversation.

Words spoken without emotion.

However, for the girl, these words have a stronger persuasive power than conciliation or threats than anything else.

Considering the skills Jinhyuk has shown so far, there was no reason to explain it in words.

Instead, if you lie or give a crappy Excellent grade, that's it.

A guide only needs to guide you well.

That's all.

Yes. I see.

The girl nodded her head.

Do you know where the principal is now?

Yes.

At least it's proven useful.

There were so many hiding places for the headmaster, there was a fear of wasting time.

name is?

Andria. Please call me Andria.

Okay. Andria. Guide me to the headmaster's place. Then I will guarantee your life. Oh. Answer carefully.

[Lv4 'Stigma of Souls' is activated.]

Because I don't like promises that are just words.

Whoops!

Red flames flashed from Jinhyuk's fingertips.

Andria shook her head. But it was only for a short time.

I promise.

With this, a temporary contract was signed.

An unfair contract that will burn your whole body alive if you betray.



Jinhyuk followed Andria's guidance and crossed the dark passage.

'You're going to the twelfth stone chamber.'

I thought it might take time or lead me to a strange place, but it seems to be wrong.

Probably, without Andria, he would have tried to choose between the 7th or 12th chambers, which are the most secure.

at that time.

I suddenly had a thought.

I wondered why such a cowardly girl had to join the fanatics.

Do you also believe in that god or something?

Demon King who wants blood and sacrifices.

And the cultists on the 5th floor exist to resurrect him.

Without faith that overcomes the blindness, we will never be together.

But the answer I got was different from what I expected.

No. I don't think there is such a thing as a God in the world. If there is a God, I can't leave a hell full of despair like this.

Then, why are you following the headmaster?

It wasn't my choice. I was sold.

Is it sold?

Yeah, you're abandoned. From the family you need to trust the most.

Andria muttered with dead eyes.

'That's why you were here.'

The places scattered on the 5th floor, such as mines, gladiators, and mental wards, all had poor conditions.

Of course, it is not uncommon to throw away your family for a few pennies.

Jinhyeok bit his taste buds.

'Now that I see, I have a very sad story.'

the system said.

If you kill the wicked, I will give you 0.1 adaptive stats.

If so, would the bystander sold out of intention also belong to the wicked?

There is only one way to know the answer to that.

However .

Jinhyuk stopped thinking about finding the answer.

Things like this won't help much, but I'm just like you. As soon as I was born, I was abandoned in an orphanage and grew up alone.

in loneliness and despair.

I had to learn reality at an early age.

"But if you blame your parents, blame the world, and blame yourself, nothing will change."

Instead, I tried to do what I could with that time.

As a BJ, I wasn't very talented.

At least they didn't force viewers to support them because of poverty.

It was enough to only receive as much as I put in my efforts and what the viewers wanted.

Of course, your situation is much more gloomy than mine. It's me, if you say something wrong, you're not sacrificed.

Know. That the two are never the same.

so.

I'll kill the headmaster and bring down the sect. No one will ever try to kill you again. So, stop making your face look like you're dead. Because I'm trying to get depressed.

" "

An earthquake struck Andria's pupil.

It's like he didn't even know he was going to say this.

What are you looking at like that?

No. Thank you so much for saying that. But, sir... No, you are stronger than you think. He uses strange powers.

I know.

Yes?

The power the teacher has. How to defeat it. I know everything.

Jinhyuk smirked.

It's a very light laugh, far from being serious.

But why?

pounding! pounding! pounding!

Andria's heart began to beat strangely.

As if a small light could be seen on the dark road that I had walked my whole life.

A small spark broke out in the heart of the girl who had struggled in despair.

There was no conversation between the two after that.

Employers and Assistants. He was devoted to those two roles.

How many minutes did it take?

The place we arrived at was a place where the black iron gate was firmly closed.

It's here.

Andria cautiously opened her mouth.

Yeah, it was hard.

Jinhyuk nodded and looked at the door blocking the entrance.

The surface of the iron gate was full of runes drawn in blood.

'It's a recipe for maintaining the barrier of the virtual image spread inside.'

If you want to come in, you can come in, right?

'It's fun.'

Jinhyuk immediately reached out to the door.

Then at that very moment.

kukuku bang!

A thick iron gate opened.



[You have entered the 'Path of Choice'.]

[There are two contestants.]

A room full of tons of rusty keys.

This is the first gateway to the pathway of choice.

Wow, here...

Andria looked around.

it must be frustrating

All of a sudden, all the scenery I saw changed.

Don't worry, be still.

Jinhyuk reassured Andria.

That was then.

Cheeky!

A doll in a white mask appeared on the screen with noise.

It is quite impressive to draw a pattern on both cheeks with red lipstick.

It seems like the next line of dialogue will be 'I want to play game'?

[Good luck here. It's a living product. I am called Valsetter serving the headmaster. Often referred to as a 'moderator'.]

Huh? Your feet smell like terror?

[Profit! It's not foot odor, it's valceter! Valsetter!]

Somehow, the more I say it, the more misleading it seems.

It's hard to remember the name. I'll just call it the smell of feet.

Jinhyuk scratched his head as if it was bothering him.

[Ugh. Dare to make me regret what made me angry. Do you know why this place is called 'Pathway of Choice'? This is because you can only go to the next level only by making a choice between life and death! But because of your cocky behavior, I will only say the least. I'm sure I'll make you bury the bones here!]

Uh-huh.

Jinhyuk let out a long yawn.

No, seriously.

Why is it that these bastards say strange nonsense when they don't even ask?

If you come to an unfamiliar place, you may be expecting them to listen to small information while babbling like newbies.

But that was a far cry from Jinhyuk.

[done. it's done! Now let's start the game. The key is hidden in this room. The time limit is only 5 minutes. If you don't find the key to open the door inside, you'll be crushed by the walls coming from all directions!]

with the stench of foot odor.

kukuku kuk!

Suddenly, the walls all around began to move.

At the same time, a timer on the screen indicating the time limit was activated.

Walls that are narrowing without hesitation.

If you can't find the key, you'll end up with a pretty gruesome death, as he said.

However, finding the real key in the pile of keys seemed no different than finding a needle in the desert.

[Fu ha ha! Get down now and beg If so, I can give you a hint on how to choose the real key.]

The smell of feet blew up madness.

By the way.

Here you go.

Jinhyuk picked one from among the piles of keys.

[Don't laugh. I'd pick anything... .]

Chunkyung!

The door opened.

[Uh, how ?]

The smell of swollen feet as if their eyes were about to explode grabbed hold of the screen.

Hey, get your face off the cam.

If you look closely, it's bloody once in a while.

"I just took a picture."

[What, what!? Did you shoot out of these many? Did you mean to believe it?]

Don't hate to believe it.

While bewildered by the unbelievable smell of feet, Jinhyuk and Andria entered the second gate.

This time it was a room full of clear glass syringes.

right then

Push!

White smoke came out of the vent on the wall.

Smoke soon filled the room.

[Fufu. Your Demon God performance is so poisonous that your blood vessels melt over time.]

The smell of feet that had regained his composure soon opened his mouth.

Do, poison?

Andria's face turned white.

You say yes.

On the other hand, Jinhyuk greeted him with a gloomy face.

[There are various medicines in the syringe. One of them will give you a second chance to live, but the other syringes contain strong acid poison. life or death It is up to you to choose.]

Thirty syringes lying on the table.

Only one of these is an antidote that can detoxify. The rest are poisons that instantly die in a horrendous mourning.

[If I could give you a hint... .]

I do not need.

Without hesitation, Jinhyuk picked up a syringe and put it in his arm.

keep going!

The liquid entered the body.

[Hey bastard. Choose after listening to some hints!]

In the end, the unbearable smell of feet spit out swear words.
