52 – Not a psycho, but a high-functioning sociopath
“Aww! It’s too hard!”
After returning, Hyena collapsed onto the bed like a tired office worker.
They say you learn ki from the faction you enter.
That seems to be harder than I thought.
Crying like that is a daily occurrence these days.
“A person named So Woon-hui is stricter than he looks, doesn’t he?”
“It’s like an older sister giving tutoring! They say they won’t let you into the game until you master Ki! Isn’t it too much?”
Hyena hugged Yuri tightly and buried her head in it.
The location was slightly naked, so an embarrassing scene was created.
Yuri made a slightly awkward face, but let it be.
…If I had done that, I would have already been cut.
Well, for me, it would be better for Hyena to become stronger.
If Hye-na perfectly masters her qi, it will be helpful to her strength.
However, Hyena seems to want to participate in the game as soon as possible and show her results.
“Never mind, this game is like a bonus anyway.”
“But Yuri already got the prize… … .”
“Oh, I saw that too. It sounds great.”
Yuri grinned at our conversation.
He seemed quite happy because he won the game.
“Well, they weren’t good at cutting.”
The game Yuri participated in was a melee.
A simple structure where you go up to the arena and fight until one person remains.
What is the result… … .
If I had been the enemy, I would have just abstained.
Every time you swing a sword, three people fly away. How do you beat them?
“Now that I have all the ingredients I want, I plan to go to the studio right away. you?”
“I’ll be joining a game soon too.”
“It’s a game with that ‘tiger energy’ at stake.”
Yuri nodded as if he knew that.
“What, did you know that?”
“Probably Jong Seo-han will also participate in that game.”
“…It’s a different team, can I just tell you that?”
“Telling you doesn’t change anything. If it were you, you would have expected it anyway.”
…Yuri sometimes tends to think of me as Jihoonemong, who knows everything.
Well, I did know.
“Hmm~ yes, yes. Jihoon will definitely win.”
Hyena muttered while cutting Yuri’s thigh.
He just sleeps when he’s sleepy.
I asked looking through the glass.
“How strong is Jongseohan?”
“The best swordsman I’ve ever seen in this world.”
‘But-‘
Yuri leaned her cheek against her hand and added.
“I don’t think you will lose. Why?”
“That’s an appreciative evaluation.”
To be honest, this game is good if you win, it doesn’t matter if you lose.
But if possible, I want to win.
A web novel in which the main character loses to the villain?
You don’t want to see that, do you?
I smiled and tidied up the items on the table.
Seeing that, Yuri tilted her head.
“What else is that?”
“bomb. I bought it at the hotel store.”
“……What?”
Unfortunately, you cannot use the Hatter’s ‘Destruction Shop’ in the ‘Destruction Hotel’.
Instead, there is a separate shop in the hotel.
It was relatively easy to get things via the March Rabbit.
And this time I bought something a little special.
＜Item information＞
▶Name: Plump Bomb
▶Type: Bomb
▶Rating: C
▶Effect: Throw it and it will explode. pop!
▶Description: A mass-produced bomb that can only be used at the Hotel of Destruction. The killing power is surprisingly not that great compared to the explosion range. Can only be used inside the Perish Hotel. Because copyright… oops!
In this novel, things like guns and bombs are very expensive.
Well, I understand.
When guns or bombs appear in zombie water, the tension goes down.
However, it was possible to obtain bombs relatively cheaply at hotels.
‘…this writer, I can’t be a zombie, but do you think it’s okay to explode people?’
Anyway, if I can save it, it doesn’t matter.
In fact, even if it is cheap, it is only relative.
Actual price is quite high.
There is even a condition that it can only be used inside the hotel.
Is it money that only me, who has already collected a lot of coins, can do?
“Umm, this heavy feeling. It’s time to go back to the bomb horse. When I said my school’s one-handed Ziggs Master, you meant me.”
Yuri’s expression as he looked at it changed very subtly.
“…Throwing it at people?”
“It doesn’t matter because I won’t die anyway.”
“… … .”
I don’t know if it’s not according to the rules.
There were no such rules.
It was time to show the taste of gunpowder to the martial artists who only used swords.
It is a time of shock and horror.
You volcanic fanatics.
****
“Whoa! Why am I doing this!”
One of Kim Chun-shik’s subordinates.
Isora sighed deeply.

Kim Chun-sik’s faction is not very crowded.
For some reason, there are many people who suddenly leave the hotel in the middle and disappear.
Still, due to Kim Chun-sik’s influence, it is called the 3rd faction.
It is also true that the number of participants in the game is small.
Of course, every opportunity to participate is bound to be precious.
‘But such a little boy has to come to find out!’
Lee So-ra looked at the man in front of her with a slight resentment.
A newcomer holding a baseball bat and making a calm expression.
The face is definitely very handsome.
But isn’t that what earns coins?
From what I heard, the boss personally scouted me because I was a VVIP.
Anyway, I wondered what I could do with a weapon like that that wasn’t even a sword.
‘Ugh, even said that the servant was participating in this game!’
Jong Seo-han, the leader of the volcano faction.
It is evaluated that the only one who can beat that man is her boss, Kim Chun-shik.
Merely participating in this means loss!
Of course, Boss was going to abstain.
It is said that the son of this young man was forced to participate.
He was brought in by that soldering iron.
‘Ah, this is why I hate children.’
It is obvious that he was lucky enough to earn coins and not suffer.
Lee So-ra has seen this type many times.
At least after killing a few zombies.
Those who mistakenly think that they are strong.
They realize by participating in the game.
The fact that you are just a frog in a well.
“Hey, walk slowly.”
In the end, I couldn’t see it and said a word.
The man who was walking in front of me stopped.
“What are you going to do if you get ambushed in the jungle? Vigilance while on the move is basic. This is a battlefield.”
“it’s okay. Rather, it would be better if we rushed at it.”
“What do you know… … .”
Isora felt her head throb.
Should I say something to this kid?
I tried to do something, but eventually gave up.
Currently, the hotel’s game is nothing more than three factions eating pie gala.
Even this is a match confirmed by Jong Seo-han’s victory.
Is it just a show for show?
There is no need to give any advice.
‘I’ll come to my senses if I get hit by a knife and get knocked out.’
There is no cure for that kind of boredom.
It was a time when I wished that Lee So-ra would have been eliminated sooner rather than later.
-Chwaaagh!
Did God, who normally doesn’t do much work, manage to grant that wish?
Suddenly, something came out of the bush.
He is wearing a black uniform up to his head.
It was an opponent with the appearance of an assassin.
“ah.”
Isora, who was careless, did not even hold a weapon.
I reflexively reached for the sword, but it was too late.
The enemy did not miss the opportunity.
The dagger came right in front of me.
‘perishing-‘
-simplicity and honesty!
and that moment.
The man’s baseball bat flew in an instant.
With a roar like a cannon shot.
The assassin’s neck snapped and flew away.
“Hmm, even if you don’t die, you will bleed. Annoying to wipe.”
The man murmured as he leisurely turned his baseball bat.
‘What, what was that?’
Lee So-ra widened her eyes.
The assassin’s attack just now was a very sneaky and quick surprise.
To the point where he couldn’t even react.
But this kid moved faster than that?
Even the man and himself are slightly distant.
If it wasn’t significantly faster than the Assassin’s, the attack just now couldn’t be explained.
“Oh, be careful…!”
Another assassin came belatedly.
This time, he was aiming for the man behind him.
Although Lee So-ra hurriedly shouted and tried to help,
I didn’t even have to.
“What’s this?”
– Jjaeok!
This time, he didn’t even pick up a weapon.
The opponent flew away with just one kick.
Only Lee So-ra’s mouth opened stupidly as she watched it.
‘What the hell is this person?!’
Even the recent attack was invisible to her.
I just wanted to move my feet, but the enemy flew away.
Incredible speed and power.
I have never seen such a talented person before.
If I had to choose, would it be Kim Chun-shik?
‘This, this kid is on the same level as the boss?’
Of course, I don’t think the boss will lose.
It was clear that at least he would be the next most powerful person in his faction.
‘Besides, what’s so cold about a young guy?’
Practice where you can comfortably showcase your skills.
A real battle where you don’t know where enemies will appear.
Needless to say, the latter is overwhelmingly difficult to maintain composure.
In particular, newcomers tend to show their lack of skills in practice.
No matter how much I killed people outside and fought zombies.
More than a human being, I have no choice but to be nervous.
Especially if it’s your first time participating in a game, most of them can’t even show half of their skills.
However, the newcomer in front of him was very relaxed.
Not even blinking an eye in the face of sudden surprise.
I just calmly swung my weapon and knocked down the enemy.
As if he had overwhelming confidence in his own abilities.
“there… … .”
“Yes, yes!”
Maybe it’s because the battle I showed you earlier was too intense.
Unknowingly, the word of honor came out.
“Can I take some of the weapons of the fallen people?”
“Uh, that wouldn’t be…? Because according to the rules, you can’t take it…”
“Oops, that’s right.”
Having said that, he licks his lips as if regretting it.
No, did you mean to take it if you said it was okay?
‘…… What is this person really?’
It’s terrifying just to defeat an opponent in one shot.
Are you thinking of taking the weapon?
To even think about that after knocking someone down.
Isn’t that what a normal person would do?
Not some kind of psychopath.
‘I’m glad I’m not the enemy… … .’
Lee So-ra sincerely thought so.
It’s not a matter of being strong or weak.
How could an ordinary person like himself deal with such a human being?
“Then let’s leave.”
The man said that and started walking forward again.
He even walked faster than before.
“Now, wait a minute! let’s go together!”
Lee So-ra, who was absent-minded for a moment, hurriedly ran after him.
Thinking that that man might really beat Jong Seo-Han and win the game.
