Chapter 121

 

“So damn strict, so strict.”

 

Short stature with sparse freckles scattered across his face.

 

There was a Gamer who gave off a cute impression that didn’t match his age.

 

Bang bang!

 

“Urgh…!”

 

However, his gaming skills were anything but cute.

 

Though his shots seemed casual, he landed headshots on every enemy he saw.

 

And with just a Pistol at that.

 

-Damn. Your skills still haven’t died

 

-You gonna take down everyone here with just a Pistol?

 

-That would be fun too lolololol

 

The freckled young man chuckled as he looked at the Chat Window.

 

A Player wearing a perfectly fitted White Gaming Suit.

 

His username is ‘S현빈S’

 

It was Singularity’s Ma Hyeon-bin.

 

“Isn’t the standard too strict? Life happens, you might not be able to log in for a month. Suddenly sending me to a relegation match like this.”

 

Ma Hyeon-bin grumbled while reloading his Pistol’s Magazine.

 

His skills were still flawless.

 

The problem was simply ‘Survival Ground’s’ regulations.

 

Conqueror tier required periodic gameplay or you’d have to play relegation matches.

 

It was meant to counter Users who would ‘park’ themselves in Conqueror and then avoid playing Games to maintain their tier.

 

-If you don’t like it, then play more games ㅡㅡ

 

-Yeah yeah yeah and Broadcast more often too

 

-Are you dating these days? Why do we never see you

 

-Lololol what dating for a little kid

 

-That’s why Kraft won’t give you an ambassador deal

 

“Ah. Speaking of that ambassador thing…”

 

Just as Ma Hyeon-bin was about to ask the Chat Window something.

 

The door to the Room where he was standing suddenly opened.

 

Click.

 

Bang! Bang!

 

Ma Hyeon-bin subdued his opponent with just a sideways glance, not even turning his head.

 

It was an admirable skill, but Ma Hyeon-bin wasn’t particularly pleased about it.

 

“You know that Gamer who was selected as ambassador this time? What was his name again?”

 

【’Gwanjong Cheonma’ has eliminated ‘ThankYouEveryone’!】

 

Ma Hyeon-bin, who had casually checked the kill log, spread his previously frowning face into a bright smile.

 

“That’s right! This is the person!”

 

-This person? Gwanjong Cheonma?

 

-Yeah, that guy is Kraft’s new ambassador for sure

 

-Isn’t this the kid who had that fabrication controversy? How did he catch Polar Bear like that?

 

-Wow, he was Diamond just recently and already Conqueror?

 

-Not Conqueror yet, seems like it’s a Promotion Match. Shows up on the match history site

 

-Promotion Match? Promotion Maaaaaatch?

 

-Hahahahaha I can’t let this slide

 

-You shall not pass

 

There are people who foam at the mouth when they hear the words promotion match or rank-up match.

 

The wicked desire to ruin someone’s desperately hoped-for opportunity.

 

Ma Hyeon-bin spun his pistol around his index finger.

 

“Looks like it’s time for some Lesson Teaching?”

 

Ma Hyeon-bin made up his mind.

 

He had to catch Gwanjong Cheonma.

 

It wasn’t particularly because of the promotion match.

 

Nor was it hostility.

 

Isn’t hostility an emotion you have when you’re at a similar level?

 

Ma Hyeon-bin was simply curious.

 

Just what kind of person was he, that Da-hong noona would play duo games with him?

 

“He better not die until he faces me.”

 

After muttering that, Ma Hyeon-bin suddenly leaped toward the 3rd floor glass window.

 

Crash!

 

A sharp sound spreads across the entire area.

 

Ma Hyeon-bin’s current play was exactly that kind of case.

 

I’m here.

 

Come and get me.

 

The surrounding players who were already tense all turned around at once.

 

Bang! Bang!

 

And they fell one by one before Ma Hyeon-bin’s pistol.

 

They were in positions specialized for shooting,

 

while he was falling upside down.

 

But the result was Ma Hyeon-bin’s one-sided massacre.

 

Wheeeeeng!

 

As if responding to Ma Hyeon-bin’s performance.

 

The first Red Zone alarm sounded.

 

“I need to secure a vehicle first.”

 

Ma Hyeon-bin moves his short legs quickly.

 

Please don’t die, Gwanjong Cheonma.

 

Until I get to play with you.

 

With a face like an innocent troublemaker, Ma Hyeon-bin got into an empty vehicle.

 

* * *

 

Viewers who confirmed Ma Hyeon-bin’s kill log made a huge fuss.

 

-Wow! They finally met!

 

-First time meeting Singularity in the game!

 

-Ah, but why do they have to face each other in a Promotion Match

 

-So ㅡㅡ we could meet up later instead

 

-You’re supposed to avoid sudden downpours…

 

-Looking at the record, isn’t this a relegation match right now?

 

“Relegation match?”

 

It was an unfamiliar experience for Hae-rang.

 

His mind was entirely focused on ‘going up’ only.

 

-If Gwanjong-i Brother gets promoted, someone has to fall, right?

 

-Yeah, the capacity is a hundred people, so if one person comes in, one person has to leave

 

-But why is Ma Hyeon-bin in relegation matches? Did he play with his feet?

 

-Ah! Now I see he barely played the game. He logged in for the first time in a month

 

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So you came into the game just to put on a respirator

 

-Ugh! Hyeon-bin, wait a bit before streaming

 

“Tsk.”

 

Hae-rang clicked his tongue after checking the chat window.

 

“This is a bit disappointing.”

 

-Right ㅠㅠ If you get caught by Ma Hyeonbin, you’re dead meat

 

-Well, there’s a chance to try again

 

-Let’s just camp as much as possible for now!

 

-If you see freckles, just run immediately

 

-Such a shame;; the matching timing is like this

 

-Gwanjong, please don’t be too disappointed!

 

-Right, matching luck sometimes good, sometimes bad

 

“No.”

 

Hae-rang lightly shook his head.

 

“You said he logged in for the first time in a month. That’s what’s disappointing.”

 

-Huh?

 

-Why is that?

 

-What’s the problem?

 

“If he took a month off, wouldn’t his game sense have gotten rusty? I want him at full condition.”

 

The viewers finally understood Hae-rang’s true feelings.

 

-Uh…

 

-So that means…

 

-Ma Hyeon-bin’s skill level is disappointing?

 

-Not that the matching luck is disappointing?

 

-He’s saying he wants to face Ma Hyeon-bin when he’s at his best?

 

-so tired lolololololololol

 

-Shit, I finally understand now

 

-Ugh hahahahaha I never would have imagined

 

-Keugh! Look at that magnificent mindset! Us ordinary folks could never keep up

 

-For real;; I kinda fell for what he just said

 

Choi Gang-sik, who had been watching the situation unfold, twitched his cheek.

 

‘This… has gotten bigger than I thought.’

 

Hae-rang is in a promotion match.

 

On the other hand, Ma Hyeon-bin is in a relegation match.

 

If Hae-rang gets promoted in this game, Ma Hyeon-bin will naturally be relegated to Challenger.

 

Hae-rang had already been receiving subtle attention lately.

 

Because of his week-long duo with Da-hong.

 

But the one taking Singularity’s head is Gwanjong Cheonma.

 

If Hae-rang knocks Ma Hyeon-bin down to Challenger in this game, the aftermath will be tremendous in many ways.

 

Wheeeeeng!

 

The first Red Zone alarm was triggered.

 

Hae-rang’s gaze as he looked at the mini map was extremely calm.

 

When descending from the helicopter, Hae-rang’s strategy for choosing the descent point had two criteria.

 

It had to be a location with sloped rooftops.

 

And,

 

‘Target the center point of the entire map.’

 

The reason was simple.

 

To avoid driving as much as possible.

 

No matter how much you threaten them with a gun,

 

there are no users in Challenger who want to become bio robots.

 

Because they have strong pride, they would rather choose to fight.

 

‘If I can’t recruit a driver, I’ll minimize the travel distance.’

 

Since ‘Impala Crown House’ is at the center of the map,

 

no matter how the Red Zone forms, it’s manageable to move.

 

“The Red Zone is coming up from the south. I’ll move to the upper terrain.”

 

Hae-rang’s strategy continued to be effective.

 

If he had started from the south, he would have overturned several vehicles by now.

 

With the Win 94 in one hand resting on his shoulder, Hae-rang slowly began moving north.

 

* * *

 

Bang bang bang!

 

Slowly.

 

But powerfully.

 

A walking natural disaster was conquering the surrounding area.

 

【’Gwanjong Cheonma’ has eliminated ‘JulesAir’!】

 

【’Gwanjong Cheonma’ has eliminated ‘BugaBooFly’!】

 

【’Gwanjong Cheonma’ has eliminated ‘SilverClick’!】

 

And on the opposite side,

 

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat!

 

As if toying with the surrounding users,

 

there was an ‘anomaly’ running around in all directions, racking up kill scores.

 

【’S Hyeon-bin S’ has eliminated ‘SoftMomma’!】

 

【’S Hyeon-bin S’ has eliminated ‘BabyBreaker’!】

 

【’S Hyeon-bin S’ has eliminated ‘Borleur’!】

 

Give and take.

 

Or as if competing in kill scores.

 

The two were making their presence known by creating a huge gap with the 3rd place.

 

【Current Kill Rankings: 1st Gwanjong Cheonma (27 kills) 2nd S Hyeon-bin S (24 kills) 3rd CommonBebe (7 kills)…】

 

Hae-rang’s viewers were more immersed than ever.

 

Not only was this a Conqueror promotion match,

 

but Ma Hyeon-bin kept chasing after his kill count.

 

-That’s right! One more kill!

 

-Sssssssss

 

-The gap widened to 3 kills again!

 

-Hahahaha Hyun Bin, you don’t stand a chance at first place

 

-You shall not pass!

 

-Wow this is making my palms sweat;;;

 

They hadn’t directly faced each other, but the competition was already underway.

 

One might feel anxious about Ma Hyeon-bin’s kills constantly chasing after him.

 

Hae-rang’s blue eyes remained lowly sunken as he aimed.

 

Bang!

 

【’Gwanjong Cheonma’ has eliminated ‘Koyakoya’.】

 

【Current Kill Rankings: 1st Gwanjong Cheonma (28 kills) 2nd S Hyeon-bin S (24 kills) 3rd Beombu Bebe (7 kills)…】

 

The one getting frustrated was actually Ma Hyeon-bin.

 

“Ugh! The gap widened again?”

 

Even when he tried not to be conscious of it, he kept getting bothered.

 

By this point, every time he looked at the game window thinking the first place must have changed, it remained the same.

 

Even after switching from the pistol he was using for fun to a proper gun, the score gap wouldn’t close.

 

“I have no idea where he is. I really want to meet him soon.”

 

As if responding to that earnest wish.

 

The final Red Zone alarm sounded.

 

Weeeeeng!

 

Ma Hyeon-bin, who checked the mini map, suddenly smiled like a mischievous child.

 

“Power grid. This will be the final base point.”

 

Confident eyes sparkled above his scattered freckles.

 

If it’s the power grid, sweeping up kills and suppressing Gwanjong Cheonma would be no problem at all.

 

With that thought, Ma Hyeon-bin climbed into the cockpit.

 

The means of transportation that could reach the power grid at maximum speed.

 

It was the motor glider he had seized after suppressing another user just moments ago.

 

* * *

 

【Current Survivors: 2】

 

Should this be called fate?

 

When Hae-rang arrived at the final base point.

 

Only two people remained on this ‘Mirage’ battlefield.

 

Gwanjong Cheonma.

 

And Ma Hyeon-bin.

 

Ironically, both sides had identical kill scores.

 

So much was riding on this final battle.

 

“There it is.”

 

Hae-rang lifts his head to check the base point.

 

L-shaped buildings and various transmission buildings.

 

In the center stands the ‘Communication Tower’, the tallest structure on this map.

 

“It looks like Ma Hyeon-bin has taken control of this entire area, doesn’t it?”

 

-Yeah, Ma Hyeonbin massacred them all in an instant

 

-The kill score was so comfortable but ㅡㅡ annoying

 

-Singularity really isn’t easy;;

 

-But what happens now? What happens when the game ends?

 

-Exactly. No matter what, Gwanjong-i and Ma Hyeon-bin are 1st and 2nd place, right?

 

-Actually, it’s become simpler.

 

-If the attention seeker wins, the attention seeker gets promoted; if Ma Hyeonbin wins, Ma Hyeonbin stays.

 

Under normal circumstances, even 2nd place would have meant promotion.

 

But since the number of Conquerors is limited, he absolutely must rank higher than his relegation match opponent.

 

‘If I defeat Ma Hyeon-bin, I become a Conqueror; if I lose, I remain a Challenger.’

 

On the ‘Mirage’ map with only two people left,

 

only a narrow bridge battle remains.

 

“First, I’ll move at the same speed as the Red Zone safe zone.”

 

He needed to find out first.

 

The reason why Ma Hyeon-bin suddenly came to the power grid area and swept up all the kills.

 

It didn’t take long to figure out the cause.

 

Whizz!

 

An area standing tall in the path of the sun.

 

A Panzer round was flying from the highest point on this map.

 

Boom!

 

Hae-rang threw his body to avoid fatal damage.

 

Gwanjong Cheonma quickly drinks a potion while tracking the bullet’s trajectory.

 

At last, the curtain on the final battle had risen.
