Bronze League – Gangnam 1 Area Tutorial

“Finally, is it today?”

Hoo. Hoo.

Newbie bronze player, Dohyukgyu, let out a sigh of relief as he relaxed his
tension.

“It’s going to go well. I’m lucky, after all.”

Dohyukgyu looked at his status window.

Gift: Agility A (Rank A)

-Agility is 25.

-This ability ignores the league’s stat limits.

Agility A.

A simple gift with a rank attached to the stat, but it was highly regarded due to
its benefit of bypassing the league’s stat limits.

“This changed my life when I got this.”

Do Hyukgyu still vividly remembered his 18th birthday.

Back then, awakening as a player, a gift that only a tiny fraction could obtain.

Who would’ve thought he would get it!

And not only that, he got it as an A-rank.

“Tell the lottery to take a hike.”

That day, a banner hung in the neighborhood, “Mr. Do Hyukgyu. Awakened with an A-
rank gift!” It was even more celebrated than a neighbor entering Seoul National
University!

And then, scouts from top domestic corporations and guilds came to him with offers,
even more so than his neighborhood mate getting into a prestigious university.

In the end, he was able to join the guild “Divergent,” affiliated with the
Divergent Group.

“It was enjoyable.”

The guild provided him with a studio apartment in Gangnam.

When he commuted to and from the guild in their uniform, numerous people would turn
to look at him.

Since turning 18 and receiving the gift, his life had truly solidified.

“…I’ll somehow make it to the top 50.”

Now, the remaining task was to survive in this Bronze League Gangnam 1 Area.

Do Hyukgyu gripped his sword tightly.

“I can do it, I can do it…”

Before the battle began, he looked around his surroundings.

A threatening horde of monsters.

And other players from different guilds, marked with corporate logos on their
armor, caught his eye.

“That one is from LK. That one is from SG… That one is from Handae Guild. None of
them are easy opponents.”

Indeed, Gangnam 1 Area.

They were all from major corporations.

Seeing formidable opponents, sweat dripped from Do Hyukgyu’s hand as he gripped his
sword.

Flash.

At that moment, a player was summoned near him.

“…What’s this?”

A man wearing shorts and a t-shirt, with disheveled hair as if he had just woken
up, and no weapon in his hand.

Seeing that sight, Do Hyukgyu immediately realized his identity.

“That… That’s a player who accidentally ended up in Gangnam 1!”

Originally, no one would think of participating in this area.

However, in the world of humans, mistakes did happen from time to time.

Even in the well-organized Korean league system.

Accidental awakenings who reached level 2 in Gangnam 1 like a drought relief were
not uncommon.

“Normally, you should wait for the player who came in by mistake to give up the
game…”

Leaving the player who entered by mistake alone until they press the game forfeit
button.

That’s the rule and courtesy of Gangnam 1 Area.

However…

“I’m lucky!”

I could get one kill point for free.

What use were such trivial rules and courtesies?

Do Hyukgyu’s eyes gleamed ominously.

And then…

[Tutorial is starting.]

[Eliminate opponents until 50 players survive.]

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The powerful sound of a drum signaled the start, and as his tense body relaxed…

“Now’s the time!”

Tatadak-!

Do Hyukgyu swiftly approached the man, drawing his sword.

Before pressing forfeit, he had to kill!

As the Agility A gift came into play, Do Hyukgyu’s body shot forward like an arrow.

And just before the tip of his sword touched the man’s chest.

The sword didn’t move.

“Huh…?”

Kwaack.

In the blink of an eye, the edge of the sword was lodged between the man’s index
and middle fingers.

* * *

“Last time, I died like this.”

Sung Jihan looked at the young man who had stabbed him with a sword.

He was quite fast for level 2.

Probably because his gift was agility-related.

No wonder he couldn’t do anything last time and died.

“Ik. Eek…!”

Meanwhile, Do Hyukgyu struggled to pull the sword from Sung Jihan’s grip.

But the sword still didn’t budge.

“What kind of strength is this…!”

His strength stat was 9. Not a low value by any means, yet the sword’s blade held
between just two fingers remained absolutely steady.

“I should give you time to log out. You lack manners.”

“Y-You… What’s this? How can you be faster than my A-rank agility ?”

“A-rank agility? How did you manage to come to Gangnam 1 with that kind of
ability?”

Sung Jihan looked at Do Hyukgyu with astonished eyes.

A-rank agility, Such an ancient artifact-like gift…

“Oh. This is the past, right.”

Before Sung Jihan could react, Do Hyukgyu wore an expression of disbelief.

“What? You’re saying my A-rank agility is that kind of ability?”

“Well, I won’t deny it.”

Stat-boosting gift.
It was meant to help with early-game survival in Bronze, but it becomes useless
even in Gold League.

But for someone like this to participate in Gangnam 1…

Feeling like he had traveled back in time, Sung Jihan relaxed the grip of his
fingers.

As a result, Do Hyukgyu, who was struggling to pull out the sword, tumbled
backward.

“Argh…!”

Do Hyukgyu hastily got back up, his face flushed red.

He had ambitiously tried to secure a kill and start strong, but what was this
situation?

“I’m done for!”

Whoosh!

As if determined to retaliate for this humiliation, he swung the sword haphazardly.

Yet, Sung Jihan effortlessly sidestepped the wild swings with an expression of
boredom.

The opponent was definitely faster than him, despite his Weakness 5 stat.

“Well, what can you do? I can see your trajectory clearly.”

When you know the start and end of a sword’s movement, it’s easy to bridge the
speed gap.

“Now I should finish this.”

Sung Jihan had made up his mind to break the achievement gradually.

Swish!

This time, Do Hyukgyu’s sword, which was swung forcefully, found its mark.
“That’s it!”

At the moment when he was sure it had landed successfully.

Thud!

Sung Jihan’s hands moved swiftly as he caught the sword in reverse.

“Huh…”

He had definitely been gripping the sword firmly in his hand.

In an instant, the sword was in the opponent’s hand.

When Do Hyukgyu opened his eyes in disbelief as if he couldn’t believe it…

Thud!

Sung Jihan’s sword pierced through Do Hyukgyu’s neck in one go.

“The sword served me well.”

Thud. Thud.

Do Hyukgyu was about to say something, but his body soon shone white and
disappeared.

He had been dealt a fatal blow and received the death verdict.

Sung Jihan stared at that sight silently.

“What a nice world. Not dying or anything.”

The same applied to the sword he was holding, belonging to Do Hyukgyu.

Perhaps this was because of the current Battle Net being a ‘game’.

No matter how much he took the sword away, complete seizure wasn’t possible.
“I guess I’ll just use the weapon by taking it away.”

At that thought, the system window appeared.

[You’ve achieved the first kill in the tutorial.]

[You’ve earned 100 achievement points.]

“Oh, interesting.”

Perhaps it was because the achievement shop had been added to the system window.
Unlike before, it showed why achievement points were [Link] that wasn’t all.

As Seong Jihan’s gaze shifted toward the groups of monsters in the Colosseum:

[Annihilation of the Orc Horde]

-The Orc Horde, numbering in the thirties, is the most powerful monster group in
the Colosseum. Subdue them and demonstrate the difference in strength.

[Reward: 500 Achievement Points]

Above the monster horde, a quest window related to achievements was appearing once
again.

“Good.”

Generally, killing monsters in the Colosseum map was considered inefficient.

Monsters gave only 0.1 kill points each.

Especially smaller groups like the Orc Horde, which formed small battalions, were
so powerful that even players hesitated to engage with them individually.

But that was a story limited to ordinary players.

“Orc offspring. I’ll avenge humanity.”

They’re giving an achievement for killing the Orc who demeaned humanity?

Ah, I can’t resist this.

Without hesitation, Seong Jihan rushed toward the Orc Horde.

“Ku, rur?”

“Human. You are stupid!”

“Kill him! Human!”

Could they have not expected someone to charge at them bare-handed?

The Orc Horde, equipped with their own gear, chuckled.

“Save your arrows!”

“Kurr. Understood!”

Three out of the five leading Orc brandished their hand axes and hurled them at
Sung Jihan.

Could they have thought that this would be enough against the reckless human?

In the eyes of the Orc throwing the axes, there was no sign of tension.

However…

“Tsk.”

Thunk, thunk, thunk!

Seong Jihan effortlessly caught the flying hand axes with one hand, as if playing
with a ball.

“Kuruk…?”

For a moment, the Orc were bewildered by the absurd situation.

“This is how you throw axes.”

He casually waved his hand.

The hand axes flew out like a storm, each one of them.

“Kuh… Kuk…!”

Hand axes embedding themselves directly in the throats of the Orc.

Surprisingly, the ones hit by the axes were all those who had thrown axes
themselves.

“He’s a madman! He’s not sane!”

“Be on guard!”

As they looked at the fallen Orcs, the remaining ones quickly readied themselves
for combat.

“Too late.”

Seong Jihan had suddenly closed the gap between them.

Thud!

With each movement of his hand…

“Kee. Kiek…!”

“Ah, I can’t see!”

The Orcs’ throats dropped one by one.

Remarkably precise and clean maneuvers.

Was this how a pack of wolves pounced on a herd of sheep?

The mightiest group in the Colosseum, the Orcs, had no choice but to fall victim to
Seong Jihan’s tactics.

Swoosh!
When one Orc’s throat dropped again,

The handle of the handaxe that had decapitated ten of their comrades in an instant
snapped with a resounding crack.

“It snapped. It snapped!”

“Kill him now! Kill him!”

The Orcs, who had been huddled, then rushed at Seong Jihan.

“Carry better weapons with you.”

As if he had anticipated this, Seong Jihan kicked the ground

Then the weapons dropped by the fallen Orcs floated into the air.

Among them, Seong Jihan grabbed a spear of suitable length and proceeded to impale
the necks of the charging Orcs, one by one.

“Next?”

* * *

“I-it’s a monster.”

“We’re running. We’re running!”

It didn’t take long for the Orcs to lose their morale.

With nearly half of their comrades wiped out in an instant, the thought of fighting
vanished. But more than that, they felt a primal fear in the presence of Seong
Jihan, a combat machine.

Snick.

A satisfied smile spread across Sung Jihan’s lips.

The Orcs’ decision was one that should never have been made in front of him.
Seong Jihan picked up his weapons and began his pursuit.

Despite the Orcs scattering in all directions, Seong Jihan had a clear plan for
such pursuits.

In an instant, he assessed the number of enemies fleeing in each direction.

“There’s the enemy.”

On the Orc side, he aimed and threw weapons to subdue his opponents.

Swoosh!

Axes and javelins arced through the air, embedding themselves directly into the
heads of two Orcs.

“Kraaak!”

“Kuk… kuk…”

Seong Jihan chased after the remaining enemy in the last direction as if he didn’t
need to confirm the kills. Now, it was nothing but one-sided slaughter.

“Monster…”

As the 30th Orc’s dying words faded,

[“Extermination of the Orc Horde” quest cleared.]

[Obtained 500 achievement points.]

With the completion of the quest, achievement points flowed in. And along with
that,

[You have leveled up.]

A level up message appeared before his eyes.

Chapter 5

* * *

“Leveling up in the middle of the game.”

Upon seeing the message, Seong Jihan was quite surprised. Originally, the most
experience would come in after the game ended, so leveling up usually occurred all
at once after the battles were over.

“Is it because I’m a lower level after all?”

It wasn’t unreasonable since he had managed to defeat monsters that a typical level
2 wouldn’t be able to handle. So, it wasn’t that surprising.

Seong Jihan opened his status window and looked at the attributes.

[Strength – 5]

[Mana – 5]

[Remaining Attribute Points – 1]

Seong Jihan invested the remaining attribute point into Strength.

“Once Strength reaches 30, the path to the Nameless Divine Arts will open.”

The Nameless Divine Arts was an SSS-rank skill that had placed him at the pinnacle
of the world. Thus, his current top priority was to increase his Strength, the
prerequisite for acquiring the skill.

However, even as he approached such a goal, Seong Jihan’s expression remained

grave.

“Strength probably won’t go up, but… I should allocate it anyway.”

Allocating points to stats didn’t necessarily mean the stats would increase.
Strength stat.

This unique stat encompassed strength, agility, and stamina, the three main
attributes.

“But that’s not all.”

Strength 5 and Mana 5.

Considering these two attributes, you might think that they would be similar in
terms of the force they can exert since the numerical values are the same. However,
in reality, the strength side was overwhelmingly more powerful.

In terms of ratio, it was at least twice as strong.

In other words, Strength was a crazy stat that not only combined the three
attributes but also exhibited an efficiency of more than double.

“But it has a weakness.”

It was damn difficult to raise.

In his previous life, he had initially thought it was a bug. Clearly, he had
invested attribute points, but Strength hadn’t increased.

Later on, he had come to realize that attribute point investment merely extended
the threshold for Strength’s growth.

After participating in leagues, engaging in numerous battles, and undergoing

intense personal training, his attributes had gradually increased.

Ultimately, Strength was a stat that had to be built up through relentless effort.

“But why…”

Seong Jihan furrowed his brow, and checked his status window.

“Why is that?”

The numbers looked oddly different.

[Strength – 6]
Why did ‘5’ appear as ‘6’?

No matter how many times Seong Jihan blinked, he belatedly felt a surge of strength
in his body.

Only then did reality sink in.

“Did my Strength… just increase?” He had never experienced something like this
before.

For a moment, he was taken aback by the unexpected stroke of luck.

“This is great, isn’t it?”

Since it increased his attributes directly, he should be grateful.

He formed a deep smile on his lips and looked around.

Strength 6.

He wanted to test this newfound power immediately.

[There are 60 survivors.]

[Tutorial will end soon.]

At that moment, the voice of the system resonated.

Suddenly, there were only 60 survivors left in the tutorial.

Perhaps because the map was a confined arena with nowhere to hide, the game’s pace
was remarkably fast.

Seong Jihan opened the scoreboard to check the rankings.

1st: Seong Jihan – 4 kills – No affiliation

2nd: Lim Gayeong – 3 kills – Divergent Guid

…

Seong Jihan, with 30 orc kills counted as 3 kills, was in the lead.

And behind him, a player named Im Gayoung was closely chasing.

“Lim Gayoung?”

It sounded like a name he had heard somewhere before.

Seong Jihan tried to recall for a moment, but he couldn’t figure out who it was.

It was understandable, considering he had been living in exile in the United States
for quite some time.

Apart from the distinctive name, he couldn’t remember much.

“More importantly, it’s a 3-kill score. If I make a small mistake, I might lose the
top spot.”

Seong Jihan postponed his thoughts about Im Gayoung for later.

What mattered most now was securing the top spot in the tutorial.

He needed to get at least one more kill to solidify his position.

As he made up his mind like that.

Swoosh!

An arrow flew from the left.

Seong Jihan, who easily dodged it, looked to the side.

“I missed!”

“Lucky, aren’t you?”

Two individuals approached, clad in armor with hexagonal patterns reminiscent of a

turtle’s shell.
“Are they from the same guild?”

Survival map.

While the original concept of this map was for solo play, there weren’t any rules
against cooperation.

The system had mechanisms to prevent the simultaneous summoning of guild members on
the same map, though.

“Figured out how to join, huh?”

In places like Gangnam 1, where there weren’t many participants, such instances of
joining forces were quite common.

“Combination is good there.”

A male warrior with a sword and shield, accompanied by a female archer.

Simple yet effective synergy.

The two approached with determined expressions.

“Let’s take out some foes and raise our rank.”

“Sure thing. Anyone’s kill will do.”

“Sounds good.”

Seong Jihan was in a messy state, covered in orc blood. While he looked odd
carrying multiple weapons, dressed in tracksuit attire, he appeared to be a prime
target.

“Summoned the wrong guy, huh?”

“He probably can’t log out due to the absence of a log-out button… This is a chance
to achieve a kill.”

These two individuals were from one of Korea’s teenage guilds, originating from
Turtle Guild. When they noticed they were summoned in close proximity during the
tutorial, they quickly joined forces to gain an advantage.
A warrior and an archer. Close-range damage and long-range damage.

With this combination, survival was practically guaranteed.

“I intended to hold back a bit to pass the tutorial, but…”

“I can’t ignore such a newbie.”

Perhaps they already considered Seong Jihan a helpless rat trapped in a hole.

“If you personally treat me to a meal, I might be willing to show some mercy.”

“Hehe, it’s settled then.”

Rather than being wary of him, they approached with mischievous grins. Ironically,
it was Seong Jihan who was smiling.

“They’re getting complacent. That’s actually good.”

And there’s no time, but it’s going well.

Seong Jihan hurled the hand ax like a beam of light.

Swoosh!

The hand axe, faster than when he slaughtered the orcs, flew even more swiftly.

“Huh…?”

The archer momentarily lost focus at the terrifying speed, attempting to dodge.

Thud!

Her right arm, holding the arrow, was cleanly severed, falling to the ground.

“Ah…!”

The archer grimaced in pain, clutching her heavily bleeding forehead.

Seeing her reaction, Seong Jihan snorted.

“She’s using Battle Net Connector for connection, yet she’s being so dramatic.”

The Battle Net Connector significantly reduced pain sensitivity. It might not
reduce it as drastically as Yun Sejin’s version, but it would still diminish it by
at least 70 percent. Yet she couldn’t endure the pain and faltered in combat.

“Still a long way to go.”

Seong Jihan concluded his judgment of them based on this.

“H-Halt!”

Ignoring the warrior who raised his shield to block him, Seong Jihan aimed at the
head of the archer who stood dazedly.

As the spear’s tip approached, the archer tried to quickly dodge, but…

Thud!

Her head was impaled on the spear, turning pale and disappearing.

“H-How could you…kill a woman…”

The warrior, witnessing the archer’s death, trembled in his voice as Seong Jihan
stared at him as if he were insane.

“Wh-What, a woman? Did you come here for a vacation?”

Arguing about gender on the battlefield. Is this really the class of the Bronze
League?

“You need to roll a bit more here.”

He couldn’t let someone with this kind of mental state pass the tutorial.

Seong Jihan charged straight at the warrior.

“I-I yield…!”
[There are 52 survivors.]

[Tutorial will end soon.]

Just two more kills and it’ll be over.

The warrior hid his body behind his shield.

“Don’t think about fighting, just survive. There’s not much high ground left!”

As Seong Jihan passed by him, the warrior could assess his capabilities.

He’d lose a hundred percent in a fight.

However, he could withstand it.

The weapon the monster was wielding was so crude.

Wearing full plate mail and a solidly cast helmet, hiding behind his shield.

No matter how strong he claimed to be, what could he do?

Meanwhile,

“Hmm. No fighting spirit, huh?”

Seeing the warrior hunching over, Seong Jihan could understand his thoughts.

“Then, let’s see where you can endure.”

Clang!

As Seong Jihan pivoted behind the warrior, his spear precisely impaled the back of
the warrior’s neck.

“Ugh…”

While the armor contorted and the warrior staggered,

Thud.
The crude spear couldn’t withstand the impact and broke.

“As expected, I can defend!”

B-rank armor!

Even Turtle Guild’s dedicated full plate armor for warriors, it’s indeed reliable!

[There are 51 survivors.]

[The tutorial will end soon.]

Just one more death, and he could survive…!

As the warrior, believing in his armor, prepared to endure more,

Clang! Clang!

Successive impacts struck his nape.

“Ugh! This guy… had so many weapons…!”

He was carrying clubs, hand axes, and various crude weapons hanging all over him.
Was he utilizing all of them now?

“But, wait… where he hit me before… he’s hitting there again!”

The warrior wasn’t just sitting idly. He turned his body in anticipation of
incoming attacks and tried to block as much as possible.

However, Seong Jihan stubbornly circled behind him, striking the back of the
warrior’s neck.

An opponent who skillfully handled various types of weapons as if they were his own
hands.

Cold sweat trickled down the warrior’s back.

The more the impact piled on, the more the armor crumpled severely.
And eventually.

“Snap…!”

Crunch!

Four weapons shattered, creating openings.

Within those gaps, a sword blade broken in half drove in.

Thud!

The blade pierced straight through his neck, and the warrior’s consciousness faded.

Then, a system voice echoed in his ears.

[There are 50 survivors.]

[The tutorial will end.]

The 50th victim was indeed him.

In his last moments, the warrior regretted deeply.

“This human. I shouldn’t have provoked him…”

He should have sensed something amiss from the moment the guy didn’t log out while
holding a weapon.

The warrior’s body turned pale and disappeared.

In front of Seong Jihan, the scoreboard appeared.

1st: Seong Jihan – 6 kills – No affiliation

2nd: Lim Gayeong – 4 kills – Divergent Guild

…
With a 2-kill difference from the 2nd place, he had secured a solid 1st position.

[Achieved 1st place in the tutorial.]

[Acquired the title ‘Tutorial Conqueror’]

[Completed the limited quest ‘Achieve 1st place in the tutorial.’]

[Received 1,000 achievement points as a reward.]

“Great.”

An involuntary satisfied smile spread across his face.

“With just one game, I got 1,600 achievement points and even a title.”

Moreover, once he returns to the real world, he might even obtain experience
rewards based on his ranking.

He was excited to see how much his level would rise.

* * *

“1st place, Seong Jihan… No affiliation?”

And about the results of that day.

A peculiar undercurrent swept through the guilds participating in the tutorial.

Chapter 6

* * *

“An unaffiliated person is in 1st place? Is that true?”

“Seong Jihan? Who’s that? Does anyone know him?”

It’d been 10 years since Battle Net spread throughout the world. Unlike the
beginning, the Bronze League had long been classified as an obscure league outside
of people’s interest.

At least Silver had to come up to be somewhat worth watching. Especially for

tutorial matches, even guild representatives mostly lacked interest.

But if it was the case of Gangnam Area 1, the story was different.

“The tutorial 1st place in Gangnam 1 is secured by an unaffiliated?”

“Lim Gayeong from the divergent guild is also participating. Of course, she would
be 1st place.”

“4 kills are already sufficient to get 1st place in the league. 6 kills don’t make
sense.”

Participating in Gangnam Area 1 required considerable abilities. An average stat

ability of 9 or above, and a Gift Rank of A. Guild representatives believed that
this was necessary to be within the top 50 in the tutorial.

But this was still a standard based on averages. For each season, the cutline for
passing the tutorial varied.

“Last season, the competition was relatively easy, so even a C-rank Gift managed to
pass.”

“But this time, the competition was fierce.”

Korea’s top 10 guilds often exchanged information, so they knew about the
participants in this season’s Bronze League. From July, applications for league
participation were submitted, and the Gangnam 1 Bronze League, starting on July
31st, was expected to be intensely competitive.

Moreover,

“Lim Gayeong is also participating. Naturally, She would be 1st place.”

“With 4 kills, it’s a standard 1st place in the league. 6 kills are unbelievable.”

Lim Gayeong from the divergent guild. Known to possess an S-rank Gift, she was a
promising talent that the divergent guild ambitiously put forward.

The expectation for her was so high that even the pragmatic Divergent guild scouts
confidently declared that she would be placed at 1st.

“Sigh. It’s a pity that data collection isn’t possible. Why can’t tutorials be
broadcasted live…”

“For now, investigate seong Jihan. The ‘seong’ surname is unique, so something
might come up.”

“Understood.”

The various guild scout teams divided into investigation headfirst. But for the two
guilds that directly encountered seong Jihan, it was a different story.

“Both of you… received the data well.”

The warrior and archer from the Turtle Guild who died at the hands of seong Jihan
had the advantage of a Kill Cam provided by Battle Net.

A third-person video captured 30 seconds before their death.

“I can’t believe it… truly unbelievable.”

The scout team leader of the Turtle Guild watched the replay multiple times and
marveled. The game called Battle Net, They knew the balance was messed up from a
long time ago, but…

“Does this make sense? Is he really Level 2?”

The warrior and archer were both objectively not lacking in ability. Both had an A-
rank Gift, and their equipment was among the best of B-rank. Especially the warrior
was lent a top-tier full plate mail that suited his characteristics and boasted
sturdy defense.

“Orc weapons are at most F-rank to E-rank. Breaking through with such shoddy
weapons to B-rank…”

Seong Jihan’s speed especially was impressive. According to the team leader’s
observation, his agility was at least 15, almost close to 20.

“Of course, the strength stats must be at that level… No, he even pierced through
armor with a shoddy weapon, so it must be beyond that. What kind of abilities does
he possess to display such a state at Level 2?”

The scout team leader’s eyes gleamed with curiosity.

“Just by looking at his clothing, he’s not even a reserve guild member. I have to
recruit him somehow!”

As if waking up from sleep, he joined the battle wearing a loose short-sleeved

shirt and sweatpants.

In the game, he was essentially unarmed and achieved 6 kills. The team leader
nodded repeatedly and looked at the two in front of him. Even though it might seem
like someone else’s luck, he had to uplift the guild’s promising talents.

“Both of you, don’t be too disheartened. I, as the team leader, guarantee your
abilities. You’ll have plenty of chances to pass in the next opportunity.”

“Ah…”

“Well, really?”

“Yes. Just consider this time as… well, encountering a natural disaster. It might
be better to participate in the next league. Being in the same league as that
monster would just take away the chance to be promoted to Silver.”

At the scout team leader’s words, the two individuals quickly nodded with downcast
faces. Facing that monster continuously in the league? The thought was horrifying.

“Well then, rest well today.”

“Yes…”

“Understood.”

That way, the Turtle Guild observed seong Jihan’s performance, with the scout team
leader taking direct action. Similarly, in the divergent guild, the head of HR and
Division 3 personally oversaw it.

“Is this Seong Jihan’s data?”

“Yes…”

Right from the start, Dohyukgyu tried to kill him and ironically, died first.
Director Jeon of the Turtle Guild’s HR Division couldn’t take her eyes off him.

“This person is the rumored ‘Golden parachute’…”

Lee Hayeon.

Rumored to still be in her twenties. A beauty that could rival famous celebrities.
One might expect her to be at the level of a new employee just based on her
appearance, but she held the title of a division head.

With the rumor of a parachute floating around, she was a woman with various
gossips.

“It’s no joke…”

Dohyukgyu, in the prime of his life, had no interest in whether she was a parachute
or not. When his gaze that occasionally flickered in her direction directly passed
over her, she furrowed her brow.

“Why do you keep staring?”

“Sorry, I apologize.”

“Be more mindful of your gaze next time. Well then, please leave.”

“Yes…”

Dohyukgyu was ushered out while the USB containing the data was left behind. As he
left the division office, a stern-faced woman standing behind her approached with
measured steps.

She was Lee Hayeon’s bodyguard.

“Shall I kill him, Miss?”

“Really. Do you just kill anyone you want? You talk about killing like it’s
nothing, yet you’ve never killed anyone.”

“I did kill someone this time.”

“Tsk. In the tutorial? Whatever. Is that jerk alone? But more importantly, Gayeong,
come over here. The person who took your 1st place. Let’s go see them together.”

Lim Gayeong, the promising talent of the divergent guild. Although her top priority
was the lady’s security, she was curious about the person who took away her 1st
place.
“Understood.”

For the target who took away the 1st place, they quickly approachedLee Hayeon’s
desk. Not long after, both of them had surprised expressions.

“Wow, that’s a relief, Gayeong.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m glad that person wasn’t summoned next to you.”

“…I can’t deny that.”

Earlier, Dohyukgyu, who had been chased out of the division office, was actually an
expected talent within the divergent guild to rank within the top 20.

Agility A. Looking solely at the tutorial, he possessed a notable agility-based

Gift. However, his opponent seong Jihan effortlessly evaded the attacks of that
Agility A.

“If that person is matched with you again in the next match, it’s better to avoid
them, right?”

“…”

Lim Gayeong didn’t respond, simply nodding quietly.

Lee Hayeon looked at her. Biting her lower lip, it slightly protruded.

Having spent many years together,Lee Hayeon knew exactly when that expression would
appear on Gayeong’s face – when she received an order she didn’t like.

“Ugh, really.”

“Ah, no. Our Gayeong won’t lose. Crush him in a fight.”

“It’s okay, Miss. I’ll avoid it.”

“It’s an order. Fight for the sake of information.”

“In that case… understood.”

* * *

As her lips returned to their place, Lim Gayeong’s expression turned impassive once
again. Observing her, Lee Hayeon smiled as if unable to hold it back, then turned
her attention back to the monitor and Seong Jihan’s face.

For some reason, the face didn’t seem unfamiliar.

“Where have I seen him before…?”

* * *

Back at home, Seong Jihan checked the message that appeared before his eyes first.

[Achieved 1st place in the tutorial.]

[As a 1st place reward, experience gain is increased by 50%.]

[Leveled up to Level 3.]

[No GP is rewarded as it’s a tutorial mode.]

“So, because I’m at a lower level, my level rises quickly.”

When he was a ranker in the United States, it took a month to raise just one level.
But in a single game, he had gained 3 levels. Seong Jihan distributed his stats
with a pleased heart.

“Naturally, 3 points to Martial Power…”

Once again, as he allocated the points to Martial Power, the stat value immediately
increased.

As Martial Power reached 9, Seong Jihan turned his attention to the empty title
slot. He had obtained a title for achieving 1st place in the tutorial.

[Tutorial Conqueror – Bronze]

[A title given to the player who achieves 1st place in the tutorial. All stats
within the Bronze League increase by 1, and experience gain increases by 20%.]
Although it was a title applied only within the Bronze League, it still held a
substantial effect.

Seong Jihan immediately equipped the title.

“Martial power has increased to 10.”

He checked his status window:

[Name: Seong Jihan

Level: 6

[Affiliation] Bronze League – Gangnam Area 1

Martial power: 10

Mana: 6

Class: Classless (Class Acquisition Possible)

Gift: Wanderer’s Insight (Rank F)

– Can discern other players well.

Title: Tutorial Conqueror – Bronze

Achievement Points: 11,600]

His abilities had improved slightly compared to when he was at Level 2. However, he
still didn’t have any skills, and his Gift was still Rank F. The road ahead was
long, but even so, the Bronze League was practically a free pass.

“I need to reach Level 25 quickly and pave the way for the growing sapling.”

Once he reached Level 25, he wouldn’t need to play the game daily; he could simply
wait for the Silver Promotion Match.

“But…”
The ‘Classless’ class slot was shimmering with light. Seong Jihan brought his
finger to the class slot.

[Upon reaching Level 5, you can acquire the basic class.]

[The available classes are as follows:

– Warrior

– Archer

– Mage

– Support]

[Would you like to choose a class?]

“The time for class advancement is finally here”

Players initially start without class. Once they reached Level 5, they could choose
a class.

Alternatively, if their level was below that but they were a guild member, they
could advance in advance through the guild’s Battle Net Crystal.

“If it weren’t for the Achievement Store… I would have definitely chosen Warrior.”

In his previous life, Seong Jihan was a special 3rd advancement job of the Warrior
class, known as the ‘Mu seong’ (Martial Saint). It was a job that increased the
development speed of martial power and facilitated the use of martial arts.

Considering the path he had walked in his past life, choosing Warrior would
undoubtedly make his growth smoother.

“But if I consider the class addition in the Achievement Store…”

By spending 10,000 Achievement Points, he could acquire an additional class. This

presented him with another path to consider.

‘It’s time to aim for another Unique Stat.’

Seong Jihan’s hand moved toward one of the four classes.

“Support.”
