Episode 15
In a siege, the side that defends has an absolute advantage.
Moreover, the time limit is only 24 hours.
The enemies above that fortress would have won if they had held out for just one day, and on the contrary, the conditions were absolutely harsh for us.
“Why us!”
I don’t know why we were given the role of attack.
Because our forces are stronger?
Or is it a punishment for our trickery in the survival mission on the second floor?
There is nothing to know yet.
In any case, we have to fight against each other without even knowing what is going on.
The terrible conditions were such that murder had to be committed on the third floor as well as on the second floor.
“Still, it will be less burdensome. “I have now confirmed that even if I die on the third floor, I will not die.”
Kim Se-yong was amazed as he touched his cut neck.
Hearthstone is a limited-time item.
It was necessary to confirm its purpose to everyone.
The other side probably doesn’t know information about this item yet. It will be very useful.
“I’m sorry for the misunderstanding. Hoyoung Lee. “I wish you had given me advice in advance.”
Seo Jun-ho, who had pointed his sword at me, immediately put away his sword and apologized.
“If I had said anything in advance, everyone would have stopped me. “They must have been unsure about the purpose of the hearthstone.”
“Well, I guess so… … .”
“And there is no need for Seo Jun-ho to apologize. “Even if I had died from the sword you pointed at me, I would have survived too.”
I gave Seo Jun-ho a light smile.
To be honest, I was very impressed with him.
Because he showed his determination to fight for his life against me.
“brother! Did I tell you? “If my brother wants to die, I will even pretend to die.”
Kim Se-yong spoke without even putting saliva on his mouth.
Shameless bastard.
Still, it worked out well.
“Uh, speaking of which, Se-yong. “Let me ask you one more favor.”
“ask?”
Kim Se-yong flinched at my words and took a step back.
Seeing that both hands were already on his neck, I could see that he was not going to give up his life meekly this time.
“How dare I cut off your head again!”
“really? “Then what is it?”
“Let’s go to the fortress alone and do some reconnaissance.”
If you get tired, it’s a disaster.
If you know the terrain and information about the opposing players, you will be able to devise a more effective strategy.
How many people are on top of the fortress, what level the opponent is, and how they defend the fortress. Where is the altar that needs to be occupied? There were many things to know.
In fact, if I go in person, I can see more information through the wise man’s status window, but it would be better to hide my power.
“reconnaissance? alone?”
“okay. If possible, try to attack even inside the castle walls.”
“How many people can I kill? If I have to, I might kill them all. haha.”
Crazy guy.
They tell nonsense about being immortal.
“You must never kill even one person. If that happens, they will realize the purpose of the hearthstone they have.”
“iced coffee!”
“It is a success as long as we find out who the leader is and what characteristics he has.”
“Would you like to stick to the other side’s head once?”
“If that is possible, what more can you ask for? ah! And just fight there and die. “It won’t be difficult since you’ve died once, right?”
If you fight for no reason and then come back down this long way to retreat, it will take up a lot of time.
It would be better to just die cleanly and return.
There doesn’t seem to be a penalty for death anyway.
“what! “In the end, it means you have to die again!”
“They said if I had to die, I would even pretend to die! “There’s a Hearthstone, so you’re saying it’s scary?”
“that… … that!”
“Do you know anything else? After this 3rd floor mission is over, will gold be paid based on contribution? “I’m giving you a chance to make a lot of money, man.”
I can see Kim Se-yong’s eyes rolling at those words.
It seems that my attempt at rolling the abacus has already paid off. A simple bastard.
“okay. go! “I’m going!”
He was a really simple guy.
* * *
Kim Se-yong walked leisurely towards the fortress alone.
After passing the rugged mountain slope, we finally came across the majestic castle wall.
“What are you doing? “You bastards!”
Kim Se-yong screamed at the top of the castle wall.
Two people appeared from above.
Both are level 8.
Although he was only slightly different from me, who was level 9, Kim Se-yong was confident that he could take on him even if they attacked him at the same time.

“what? “You’ve come this far, so you’re not going to attack me?”
But still silent.
At the very least, I thought I would throw a rock from the castle wall.
If they were going to come out like this, they should have at least opened the gates and waited.
Fuuuuuuu!
Se-yong Kim threw a stone fist straight at the castle gate.
[The durability of the gate has decreased. (81%)]
“Oh my! “If I hit this a few times, it will break right away, right?”
My confidence soared.
I thought it was a good idea to focus the stats on strength.
Fuuuuuuu!
Fuuuuuuu!
Kim Se-yong’s rapid fire struck the castle gate violently.
And finally, the gate was wide open.
[The castle gate is open. There are 2 seconds left until the gate resets.]
“Ohh. “Is this how it is?”
This is also valuable information.
Kim Se-yong rushed into the castle.
His eyes begin to scan quickly.
A wide panorama hidden behind the castle walls. There was an altar ahead.
“I think there are about twelve or three players.”
Two people on the castle wall. About ten people near the altar. And one on the altar.
Se-yong Kim walked briskly toward the altar.
“You’re not going to attack me like this?”
Surprisingly, there has been no restraint yet.
Kim Se-yong walked for a long time until he reached the front of the group of opposing players.
As I approach about 15 meters away, information about them comes into view.
Their levels range from 7 to 9.
“huh?”
At one point, Kim Se-yong’s eyes were fixed on a short-haired woman standing in a noble posture on the altar.
But the level was a bit strange. Her level is a whopping 13.
If you had performed the same mission from the tutorial to the second floor, that was an impossible number.
“Your name is Son Seo-yeon? “You bitch is the head of this place!”
Son Seo-yeon looked at Kim Se-yong with an expressionless face without giving any answer.
After a while, Son Seo-yeon raised her right arm.
There is something in her hand.
“Surely a gun?”
Taaaang!
A gunshot rang out.
* * *
“You said you were level 13?”
I asked Kim Se-yong back.
Actually, it doesn’t make sense.
It was impossible to level up in the survival mission on the second floor, and the actual limit level in the tutorial was 4.
So, that means you raised your level by 9 on the first floor alone, which is an absolutely impossible number even if you even completed the death mission. If there is a large level difference between the monster and the player, experience points cannot be gained.
“I saw it clearly! “It was really level 13!”
According to Kim Se-yong’s words, there is something else strange.
Her weapon is a gun.
A gun is a weapon strong enough to destroy balance.
You only have that kind of weapon from the 3rd floor?
I had a feeling that something was ominous.
“How did it feel when you got shot?”
“Is there anything you want to do while you sleep? “It collapsed right away.”
“Where did I get hit?”
“Was it the abdomen?”
This too is strange.
Kim Se-yong is a guy with a big body and a pretty solid body.
Killing people instantly by shooting them in the abdomen rather than the head or heart?
I couldn’t quite imagine it.
I have a feeling it might not be a typical gun.
Where we are now is the game system. I thought it might be a weapon that fires by injecting magical energy rather than a magazine.
I think I need to check one more time before confronting him.
“Seyong.”
I called his name in a soft voice.
“why!!”
“I’m sorry. “Let’s just get one more shot.”
“what?”
Kim Se-yong became contemplative and made an expression of soul running away from home.
I understand.
I’ve already died twice today, so I won’t be happy to be told to go die again.
“brother! But if I go again, won’t they find out what the Hearthstone is for?”
“no. You might think something is strange, but you might not have the guts to really experiment. “Maybe you can think of it as your exclusive trait.”
“Do you really have to go to such lengths to send me away?”
“uh.”
“Is your brother human?”
“So you said you were sorry at the beginning, right? “There are two things I need you to find out.”
I continued speaking without heeding anything.
“One, come and find out what it feels like to be shot.”
“When I get shot, I immediately fall down. What does it feel like?”
“You hit me too close. “If it’s far away, it might be a little different.”
Kim Se-yong gave me a defeated look at my decisiveness.
“And what else!”
“Secondly, if you avoid instant death, drink the potion right away. And then wait. “When will the second bullet come?”
“You want me to take two hits?”
This was important information that had to be obtained.
I wonder if that guy can fire a gun repeatedly. Or is there a delay until the next launch?
“And if the situation allows, try climbing on that altar.”
Honestly, even in my opinion, this is an impossible mission.
I just ordered it just in case.
After listening to the story, there was something unusual about that altar.
“If you succeed at that, there will be a reward!”
“I’ll give you 100 gold.”
“call!”
It’s good motivation.
This guy will probably do his best to raise his strength stats.
* * *
It’s level 13.
After Kim Se-yong left, my mind was complicated.
No matter how much I thought about it, there was only one conclusion.
Salseong.
There was no doubt that she had taken on the path of life-savingness and succeeded.
If my guess is correct, she would have killed all the players who started the game with her on the second floor.
In that case, the current companions must be newly met players after the 2nd floor mission.
Nevertheless, according to Kim Se-yong, she is already playing a leader role in the group.
“This is not an ordinary opponent.”
“You’re telling me you’re not an ordinary person?”
Chae Yi-seol heard me muttering to myself and approached me.
“The leader of the other group.”
“Oh, you have a gun?”
I nodded.
“I will always be on standby behind Hoyoung.”
Just hearing those words was reassuring.
I thought it was a good idea to invest gold in her.
The key is the power of Son Seo-yeon’s gun and whether she can fire it repeatedly.
Depending on that, the difficulty of the siege will be determined.
Of course, there are more problems.
Even excluding the gun, her abilities are still unknown, and we don’t know what powers other players have either.
How many more times should we send Kim Se-yong? Around the time I had this thought.
“brother!”
Se-yong Kim appeared from behind.
He died again.
Today is already the third time.
“Seyong, did you succeed?”
“First, let’s start with gold.”
Kim Se-yong held out his palm towards me.
This bastard is trying to catch up.
“Give me 3 seconds. 3… … .”
“okay! I’ll tell you! “I’m telling you!”
Kim Se-yong smiled and continued speaking.
“The power was definitely different because it was hit from a distance!”
“How do you feel?”
“I’ve never been shot by a gun in my life, but this feels like I’ve just been hit really hard rather than a gun. Of course it hurt so much that I went crazy!”
It was like that too.
I think it would be good to think of it as a kind of Manatan.
“So what about the second bullet?
“After I drank the potion I had prepared in advance, I walked little by little towards the altar.”
“so?”
“But still, no gunfire rings out. So I was about to rush towards the altar, but Taang! After hearing that, I returned here right away. “It lasted about 5 seconds?”
5 seconds.
If so, it meant that he was not a speaker.
There may be variables, but for now, I think you need to plan your strategy with the 5-second delay in mind.
At this point, Kim Se-yong has done enough.
“It’s old, 100 won.”
Now is the moment of decisive battle.
