Prologue. Those who go down stay down.
Seo Jinwoo, who woke up at the sound of their notifications, drank a cup of coffee while looking at the view of Seoul.
Dressed in a top-notch defensive suit from Zegna, he drove a Ferrari to his meeting.
“How are you, Guildmaster?”
Seo Jinwoo bowed 90 degrees to greet the man in front of him.
“Welcome. Chief Min Kijoon, you’ve met Jinwoo before, haven’t you?” (/Head of department/ chief/manager?)
“Nice to meet you. I’m Min Kijoon.”
Big brother and Min Kijoon greeted Seo Jinwoo.
“Chief Min, congratulations on your awakening. What a blessing for the strongest group.”
“Oh, no, it’s not a big deal. It’s two years behind my brother. It’s awful, really. Please lead me well.”
Min Kijoon said while waving his hands, he was a part of the strongest group in Korea. The youngest of the two sons who had awakened as a player three days ago.
“I gave you a rough explanation last time, so… Let’s leave out troublesome matters. Chief Min, please get on the bus and raise the level a little.”
“I’m ashamed of this. The unity guild leader took care of me like this.. I’ve heard a lot about Seo Jinwoo.”
Min Kijoon’s lips went up.
“Here, Jinwoo is freelance, but he has very good skills. I can trust you. Right, Jinwoo? Bring me news that will surprise me.”
It is a sign he might be disposed. To kill the second son of the strongest group? Their eyes meet with each other in the air.
“Guildmaster, are you okay?”
“Of course. I have plans for everything.”
The guildmaster’s gaze became determined for a moment.
“I’ll go first, please wait.”
As he bid them farewell and went outside, a huge man was waiting for Seo Jinwoo.
“Brother, I’ll accompany you.”
“Enough. You’re going to get married soon so just be careful and stay quiet. Big brother gave me Taeoh out of consideration.”
“Taeoh… you mean that snake-like jerk?”
Said the man with a frown on his face.
“Bear, watch your language. It’s only a 3-level bus. I’ll be back after it’s over. Let’s drink some soju later.”
“…Okay. Brother, take care of yourself.”
Leaving behind his brother who was still bent at 90 degrees, a man with a slim body was waiting at the meeting place where he arrived.
“Lee Taeoh. It’s been a while.”
“Yes. Well… How are you?”
Lee Taeoh greeting him. This horrible jerk. Seo Jinwoo swallowed his words. After waiting for a while, a luxury vehicle carrying Min Kijoon had arrived.
“Here you are, Chief.” (“오셨습니까. 실장님.” )
After greeting Min Kijoon, Seo Jinwoo reviewed the floor information.
[3rd floor]
Seo Jinwoo judged the difficulty, scattering the documents roughly.
“Chief, when you enter, make sure to check the equipment and stick to me.”
“Ah—I understand. How’s it going? I’m a little nervous.”
“My level is 75. The skeleton will die just by touching it. Let’s go in.”
Comforting Min Kijoon with a nervous look, Seo Jinwoo adjusted the floor information in the status window and entered the tower.
“Wow! It’s night here. Oh My God— I entered the tower, it’s grass—”
He doesn’t know the reason.
Of course he doesn’t need to know.
Seo Jinwoo, who took his sword out of the inventory, grabbed Min Kijoon’s shoulder, who was putting on equipment and stabbed him in the heart.
“Ugh—What… What is this—?”
“That’s the way the world is. Be nice in your next life.”
Min Kijoon’s hand, which was fluttering like a fish on a skewer, trembled and headed to hi necklace.
Snap.
Seo Jinwoo, who ripped off the necklace in case it was a resurrection item, saw the item information.
[Necklace of Inverse Heaven]
“Still, you’ve been wearing unique clothes since the beginning because you’re from a rich family.”
Seo Jinwoo murmured while looking at the item.
He breathed in deeply.
‘…..?’
As Seo Jinwoo’s eyes looked down, he saw an ink black blade sticking out of his chest.
[Defense Immunity Attack]
[Activate Nihil Room]
[Immunity to all recovery effects]
[Lifetime decreases rapidly]
Lee Taeoh was smiling in front of Seo Jinwoo’s eyes, who had turned around.
“Well, that’s the way the world is.”
“You bastard— Are you betraying me? Big brother will not leave you alone—”
“Oh, you’re so naive. Where do you think I got this sword?”
Lee Taeoh checked whether Min Kijoon, who fell down on the floor had lost his breath.
“Big brother, why me—?”
“Why? I don’t know. When did things like us work for a reason?”
[Lifetime decreases rapidly]
Seo Jinwoo couldn’t understand Lee Taeoh’s words and actions.
“But well, can’t you see the rough picture? In order to send someone from the second son of the strongest group, there must be at least one sacrifice.”
“That can’t be right. I’m sure there’s some kind of mistake— I’ve worked so hard for the organization—.”
Lee Taeoh squatted and whispered in front of Seo Jinwoo, who was shaking, grasping his stomach.
“In the first place, you weren’t part of our guild, and you’re here? I don’t know how many people could do that. Don’t worry. We’ll figure it on our own.”
Lee Taeoh rose from his seat and smiled.
“I… If I don’t go, Bear will definitely think something is weird..”
“Oh, Na Seongjun? Even if you go, he’ll be waiting somewhere after life. You sure can get along there.”
“Don’t touch Bear, you bastards—”
Seo Jinwoo’s body was losing strength.
“I… I will surely kill you and Ha Jaehak. I will dig out your eyeballs and pull out your intestines and kill you.. And I will throw you away…”
Lee Taeoh opened his mouth while looking down at Seo Jinwoo, who was breathless.
“Be nice in your next life.”
[The abyss contractor is greatly satisfied with your last moments.]
[The necklace of inverse heaven is activated]
Darkness swallowed Seo Jinwoo’s vision.
