Chapter 57 End (7) (1/2)
“…!”
“…!”
The new tutorial ranking left the players with their minds blown. Because there was a crazy score right in front of their eyes.
Had there ever been a player who had collected that much Karma in the tutorial?
From the moment Yeon-woo defeated Phante and Vyram and made all the other players kneel down, the result had already been decided.
A predator.
In the eyes of the players, Yeon-woo was nothing but an insatiable beast.
Even if Yeon-woo didn’t take away Edora’s gold crystal, the top spot would still be his.
Just then, Yeon-woo’s body started to fade away. He was using Shunpo to scram.
“Wait…”

Edora tried to catch Yeon-woo belatedly. But when she reached out with her hand, Yeon-woo had already vanished from his spot.
“Ah!”
Failing to catch Yeon-woo, Edora let out a regretful moan. And she stood aghast for a little while.
The shock Yeon-woo gave her was too great. The image of Yeon-woo was lingering in her mind.
An indescribable feeling overcame her mind.
This was their first time suffering defeat since joining the tutorial. Moreover, it was a complete defeat.
Feeling defeated, Edora’s body trembled, but she soon mumbled to herself with a slightly flushed face.
“That was… splendid.”

Yeon-woo was currently sitting in a deserted place lost in meditation. He was slowly recovering himself from the severe side effects caused by the use of his skills.
And when the tutorial timer reached zero, Yeon-woo opened his eyes.
[The tutorial has ended.]
[All remaining players will be teleported to the waiting area. Beware of impact.]
The stage surrounding Yeon-woo and the other players started to shake and fade away as if they were inside a television screen being blurred out with noise.
And when things became clear, they were standing in a vast open space along with thousands of other players. The players who had participated in this round of the tutorial.
Some of them looked startled after being summoned to a place full of other players. But once they realized that the tutorial had ended, they breathed a sigh of relief. And when they noticed that Yeon-woo was standing among them, they began to talk in whispers.

“Is that him…?”
“Yup. That’s him. The number one in the rankings, the Hoarder.”
“I heard he beat the One-horned tribe siblings and the Marcusian swordsman. That’s ridiculous.”
“I wonder who he is.”
The Hoarder.
It was the name people started to call Yeon-woo with since the rumors about what happened in Section G spread among the players.
There was nothing known about the name or identity of the character, and he had suddenly made a spectacular appearance.
All they knew was that he wore a white mask and that he was acquainted with Kahn and Doyle.
Even that was known only because a player happened to see Yeon-woo grouped up with Kahn and Doyle when heading to Hargan’s Lair.
So people were very curious about who Yeon-woo was. But no one had the guts to approach Yeon-woo and strike up a conversation. The only thing they could do was to watch him from afar. And that was also comfortable for Yeon-woo as no one was coming to bother him.

But still, Yeon-woo wasn’t used to having this kind of attention on him.
‘Maybe I shouldn’t have gone to Section G. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have received this much attention.’
Of course, it was only a figure of speech. Even if he had to go back in time, he would have done the same thing. Because he needed the hidden reward given only to the first ranker in the tutorial.
‘Zeus’ Key. This is the only way I can get it.’
Yeon-woo had two places he had tot visit once he entered The Tower. One was Arthia’s clan house.
And the other one was,
“Olympus’ Treasury.”
The place where the gods of the past kept their sacred relics.
Zeus’ key was one of the twelve keys for opening the door to the treasury.
Therefore, Yeon-woo had to be the first at any cost in order to acquire the key.

But the problem was that if he were to be the first, it was most likely that other players in The Tower would start to hinder him.
‘It’s already too late to carry on with the revenge in covert. If so, I will have to use ‘Cain’ to hide ‘Yeon-woo’ as much as possible.’
And he was beginning to think that perhaps the path he would be walking in the future would not be much different from the one Arthia had walked.
So he had to get used to this kind of attention, even if he didn’t like it.
‘By the way….’
Yeon-woo glanced around.
‘Kahn and Doyle, are they really gone?’
They did say they were going to give up, but to think that he couldn’t see them around any more, he felt lacking in some sense.
At that moment,
“Hyung! It was really you!”

A young man appeared among the other players.
A very familiar voice and face. It was Yul.
“Yul?”
Yeon-woo opened his eyes wide in surprise.
He had thought that Yul had given up on this tutorial round, just like Kahn and Doyle did.
Yul spoke while panting, as if he had rushed his way there. But his face was showing a brilliant smile.
“I heard that a new rookie had appeared in the tutorial. And when they said he was wearing a mask, I immediately thought of you. And… it was really you.”
Yeon-woo looked at Yul. He could no longer see any worry or spite in Yul’s eyes. The gloomy mood Yul used to carry had changed completely.
“So, it seems you’ve found the Freesia Garden.”
