All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 031

“I learned a great deal this time, young master.”

“You said your name was Secretary Hong, right? Your stealth alone would be top-tier even in Diamond.”

“You flatter me.”

As his conversation with Choi Cheolho was coming to an end.

Shin Hyeok didn’t spare his praise when he faced Man-seok, who had recovered from his injuries and gotten up.

‘Assassination-type players who are top-tier even in Diamond are precious.’

Although he had been defeated by Shin Hyeok, Man-seok was an assassination-type player who was hard to find.

This was even more so because their true value lay in reality, not in Dimension Arena.

‘I’d like to avoid having to assassinate anyone if possible… but if necessary, I’ll have no choice but to use him. Furthermore, he’d be a great help in gathering information, so the closer I keep Secretary Hong, the better.’

Assassination and information gathering.

In both aspects, Man-seok could be said to be an essential talent.

Right now, since he was Choi Cheolho’s man, it would be difficult to use him directly, but since there would surely come a day when he could use him like his own hands and feet, Shin Hyeok chose to build a friendship with Man-seok.

‘Young Master Shin Hyeok is someone who lacks nothing to become the future owner of Shinwha. Even Guild Leader Choi Inho couldn’t show such qualities from his first year after placement. This person is more than qualified to become my second master.’

And Man-seok felt no differently.

Watching through videos versus facing someone directly.

The sensation that came from that difference was more than enough to give Man-seok a great shock.

Just as both were developing great fondness for each other.

“Secretary Hong. Call the usual contractors to fix this up. Quietly. You know?”

“Yes, Chairman.”

At Choi Cheolho’s words as he clicked his tongue lightly while looking at the destroyed basement, Man-seok bowed his head and responded before immediately leaving the basement.

It couldn’t be helped since this was a space where all communication equipment was nullified.

The spot where Man-seok had disappeared.

Left alone together, Choi Cheolho smiled toward Shin Hyeok.

“The burden your aunt is carrying. Try taking a good look at it.”

“Yes.”

Shin Hyeok smiled as he received justification to properly devour Shinwha Department Store.

“On that note, there’s something I’d like to tell you.”

“What is it.”

“I want to create a guild.”

Furthermore, not stopping there, he expressed his intention to establish a new guild.

At the sudden talk of guild creation, Choi Cheolho showed puzzlement.

“A guild? There’s already Shinwha Guild… ah, right. I understand what you’re thinking.”

“Yes, it’s probably what you’re thinking, Grandfather.”

But soon, realizing what intention Shin Hyeok had in saying such things, he burst into hearty laughter.

“You’re even being wary of your uncle.”

“I have to be wary. Shinwha Guild is also just something I need to devour.”

“Kahahaha, right. What are you thinking of naming the guild?”

Watching Shin Hyeok, who was thinking of devouring not just Shinwha Department Store but now even Shinwha Guild, Choi Cheolho showed his curiosity.

About what name this guild he was creating would have.

To this, Shin Hyeok calmly spoke the guild name he had thought of.

“Something simple… I’m thinking of ‘All Mighty.'”

“Omnipotent… does it stem from my belief that you can do anything?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

All Mighty.

Just like that word symbolizing omnipotence, it was a guild name born from Shin Hyeok’s confidence that he could do anything.

At his appearance nodding so confidently, Choi Cheolho looked at Shin Hyeok as if dumbfounded, then patted his shoulder as if cheering him on.

“Do well. Who are you thinking of for guild members?”

“For now, I’m thinking of Sejin hyung and Su-a.”

“Not many.”

“I’m planning to aim for a small elite group. I don’t think there’s any need to accept many guild members anyway.”

“Right. It’s something you’re doing anyway. There’s no reason for an old man to nitpick from the side.”

“Thank you.”

Choi Cheolho acknowledged Shin Hyeok while giving him all authority.

There would be nothing blocking Shin Hyeok from establishing a guild.

Of course, if the guild failed, Shin Hyeok would bear all the responsibility, but Shin Hyeok had no intention of failing from the start.

‘I’ll make it the best guild that will devour Shinwha Guild.’

Rather, he was thinking of creating an incredibly magnificent guild that would crush even Shinwha Guild, which was considered one of Korea’s top guilds.

Thus, the birth of the guild that would command the entire world, ‘All Mighty,’ took place in a basement in Pyeongchang-dong.

* * *

After receiving Choi Cheolho’s permission.

Shin Hyeok began preparing for guild establishment in earnest.

Actually, guild establishment wasn’t particularly difficult.

You just had to apply for guild establishment to the Player Association and meet the minimum requirement of 3 people.

However, since the establishment fee was in the hundreds of millions, it was too much to establish as a joke.

“…Are you really going to establish one?”

“Yes. All Mighty Guild. I’m applying for establishment.”

“…Understood. The results will come out in a few days, so please wait.”

“I can wait that long easily. I’ll wait.”

“Thank you for applying, Player Shin-hyeok Choi.”

Therefore, the counter employee looked at Shin Hyeok with a surprised face.

A player who had been placed for less than a month was establishing a guild.

Moreover, the guild’s founding members were one player who had just achieved Silver and one blacksmith player, so the surprise was even greater.

However, since all conditions were met, there was no reason to reject it, so the counter employee accepted the application while feeling bewildered.

Naturally, the guild establishment application was accepted a few days later.

It was the moment when All Mighty Guild revealed itself to the world.

“Shin Hyeok, is it okay for a novice player like me to join the guild?”

“I think so too. Besides, I’m not a combat player but a production player…”

However, Su-a and Sejin, the founding members belonging to All Mighty Guild, couldn’t hide their discomfort.

Sejin was someone with sufficient ability, just unable to shed his common citizen mentality yet.

But Su-a was a player who had just reached Silver 4.

Of course, this was a sufficiently impressive achievement for the first month after placement, but it paled in comparison to the textbook example that was Shin Hyeok.

Shin Hyeok comforted Su-a, saying.

“You’re going to become one of the best players, so I’m recruiting you in advance.”

“Thanks, even if it’s just empty words, Shin Hyeok.”

“I’m being serious… well, can’t help it if you don’t believe me.”

The Su-a that Shin Hyeok had last seen before his regression was literally a top player herself.

Iwhang Samjeo Owang.

The fact that there was said to be one star (Il-seong) above them said it all.

Naturally, Il-seong was Su-a.

Known as the Saint of Destruction to enemies and the Saint of Healing to allies, she reached her peak when Dimension Arena changed to an integrated league and became reality.

A reality where monsters and different races poured out.

Villains and Mages who moved for their own selfish interests even in such situations.

Su-a, who always stood at the front lines against them, was a player worthy of respect.

Remembering that image, Shin Hyeok had no choice but to include Su-a as a founding member.

“But isn’t the number of guild members too small?”

“Right, just the three of us. I think we need to recruit more guild members.”

“You don’t need to worry about that. My guild aims for a small elite group. Even thinking about additional guild members to recruit in the future, it won’t exceed ten people.”

“…Then will the guild actually function?”

“It’s enough. The guild members I’ll fill in will all be the world’s best talents.”

“I want to say you’re being arrogant… but seeing what you’ve accomplished, Shin Hyeok, I guess it’s not really arrogance.”

Their worry about having too few guild members was brief.

When he said it was an elite guild and that they wouldn’t have more than ten members going forward, Su-a and Sejin couldn’t hide their disbelief.

However, considering the performance Shin Hyeok had shown, they couldn’t simply call it arrogance, so they just nodded their heads.

“So have you thought about who the next guild member will be?”

“Of course I’ve thought about it.”

“Oh! Who is it? Do I know them?”

“No, not only do you not know them, but Sejin hyung doesn’t either.”

“…You’re really going to recruit someone like that as a guild member?”

“True talent is usually buried in obscurity.”

But even Su-a and Sejin couldn’t hide their puzzlement at accepting someone they didn’t know as a guild member.

It was natural.

If it was truly an elite group, each member should be powerful or exceptional, but if it was a Player they didn’t know, they probably wouldn’t be particularly strong or outstanding.

Of course, that was only their thinking.

“Even Sejin hyung fell victim to the former Shinwha Workshop master’s scheme and couldn’t even hold a hammer properly. The person I’m bringing this time is in a similar situation.”

“Ah!”

“…I was being narrow-minded. They say a frog can’t remember being a tadpole… that’s exactly what I was doing.”

Se-jin Bang.

Called the Bang of Cheonggyecheon, he had almost lived a miserable life until Shin Hyeok saved him.

At the mention that the guild member he would bring was in a similar situation, Su-a showed surprise while Sejin revealed sympathy.

“Please bring them as soon as possible.”

“I will, hyung.”

Hearing Sejin’s trembling voice as he couldn’t hide his sympathy while recalling his own past, Shin Hyeok also nodded with a stern expression.

‘Baek Hyo-rin. In this life, I won’t lose you easily.’

The name of the guild member Shin Hyeok would recruit this time was Baek Hyo-rin.

Before his regression, he hadn’t known much about her, and Shin Hyeok only learned the truth after her death.

Considering that her death had greatly affected Players worldwide and the Integrated League as well, she was a talent who absolutely had to be saved.

“For the next few days, maybe even 1-2 weeks, I might be unreachable, so keep that in mind.”

“What about Dimension Arena?”

“This is more important than Dimension Arena, so I have no choice.”

“Sigh, Shin Hyeok, you’re really amazing. You seem to treat Dimension Arena casually, but before you know it, you’re way up high…”

“You’ll climb up soon too.”

“Right?”

“Though slower than me.”

“…Want to get hit?”

A few days at the shortest.

Their surprise at it taking 1-2 weeks at the longest was brief.

Shin Hyeok pushed back his chair with a scraping sound and stood up.

“I have something to do first.”

“Huh?”

“What is it? Did the chairman call you again?”

Before going to get Baek Hyo-rin.

As Su-a and Sejin tilted their heads at Shin Hyeok who suddenly had something to do, Shin Hyeok grinned and tapped at what appeared to be empty space.

Space that was invisible to others but visible only to Shin Hyeok’s eyes.

[Cheonma is calling you.]

“My Constellation wants to see me.”

“…Ah.”

A meeting with a Constellation.

Leaving behind the two people who looked at him with admiration for meeting an entity that others could hardly meet once, twice in a month, Shin Hyeok responded to the call.

Flash!

With Shin Hyeok instantly disappearing from the Guild Establishment Celebration Party, Su-a and Sejin diligently finished the remaining food.
