Chapter 40: Preparation for the next step

Rather, I felt some regrets. Regrets about the fighting?

No. I didn't feel sorry about this fight because I did everything I could.

So, I won without taking much damage. But what I felt sorry for was my past.

Sadly, I didn't have this experience during the first, second, and third closed betas.

At that time, I didn't deal a single blow at other users in the field, let alone the field of honor, so I got an F grade because of zero kills. Unlike the number of monsters killed, items, golden rings, and skills, I got at least an A in all of these.

Of course, I am 100% satisfied with the three traits. But I was a little curious about which traits I would have received if I had gotten an A or B at least.

“Lol.”

At that moment, I giggled in spite of myself because I found myself boasting like an expert after scoring a PK (player kill) for the first time. Then I recalled what I said to the tank last.

“Operator…”

I unwittingly mentioned it to the tank who asked about my ident.i.ty. Of course, there was a reason why the word “operator” suddenly came out of my mouth. Yesterday my father told me that it was highly likely there was no operator for Revival Legend. Even if there was one, there was little chance for him to even intervene.

“Well, I don't think it's a big deal. By the way, I think I have to get out of here.”

Yes, I needed to escape because the eleven users that I killed might just forget about what happened today quietly like a puppy curling up its tail, but there was a good chance that they would harm me. I often saw small fights grow into big ones. In particular, if they belonged to a guild, they often relied on the guild for help.

I didn't want to hunt, feeling nervous that they might mobilize dozens or hundreds of guild guys. They might call me a coward, but it's better to be called like that because I didn't have any intention of being stubborn or demonstrating my bravado because I could get stronger after several hours since I was Level 101.

So, what I need now is time. I didn't want to waste my time on fighting. And if I had to fight, I wanted to do so after growing a little more. Although I showed enormous power now, I would do so with an overwhelming gap then.

So, I turned back because although they were banned from accessing the game for 24 hours as a death penalty, they might have called up their guild and complained about me.

The fourth branch of Daesung Guild.

The place called the 4th Daesung Guild, mainly composed of those at Level 300~450, operated inside and outside the game, namely in the real world, like other branches.

Therefore, Daesung was paying a lot of attention to this game. Of course, the compensation was not much, but Daesung paid monthly salaries to those up to the third branch. Management of the fourth branch differed greatly from that of the first, second, and third branches. So, there was intense compet.i.tion among members trying to move up to the third branch from the 4th.

Anyway, the phone in Daesung's 4th branch real-world office rang.

“h.e.l.lo, this is the Daesung Guild 4th Branch Office.”

“h.e.l.lo. I am Sugil Chung, the leader of the 27th party of the 4th branch.”

“Hold a minute.”

The employee working at the 4th branch office checked out the directory of the 4th branch stuck on one side of the desk. Then he checked the 27th party and confirmed that its captain was Sugil Chung, then replied right away, “Yes, please go ahead.”

“A little while ago, all members of the 27th party were killed.”

“All killed?” the employee asked back.

In the words of Jeongsu-gil's annihilation, he asked for an employee guarding the office.

“Yes…”

“You know that if all eleven people were killed in the game, you have to submit an accident report, right? If it turns out that you made the mistake, you will be penalized. In that case, that will result in disciplinary action, such as retracting our support.”

“I know. But I called you quickly to report something.”
