Chapter 59
It’s been quite a while since I’ve been to Autoban’s Lord’s Castle.
Unlike Edenhark, this was only my second time in Autoban.
Before my regression, this was the village that became a major turning point for Jung Hoon, who had just completed his 2nd job advancement.
===
[NPC Information]
-Nickname: Blaine
-Level: 120
-Class: Lord of Autoban
===
Jung Hoon naturally met Blaine’s gaze.
At the same time, he slightly bowed his head.
“My name is Hoon.”
“Welcome. I am Blaine, the Lord of Autoban. Thank you for helping our knight.”
Blaine hurriedly showed proper courtesy.
“Not at all. It was something I should have done.”
“I see.”
Blaine was inwardly amazed.
He couldn’t remember the last time he had seen such a pure Outsider.
“By the way, has something happened? The surroundings seemed quite busy.”
When Jung Hoon brought up the topic, Blaine let out a deep sigh and explained the situation.
“The Ogre King?”
“Yes. So Isaac’s absence was painfully felt, but fortunately he returned at just the right time.”
So he meant to give Isaac orders to subjugate the Ogre King in the Northern Region.
Isaac knelt on one knee with a stern expression.
“If my lord permits it, I will depart immediately.”
Upon learning that a crisis had struck the territory right after his return.
And that he was the only one who could resolve this crisis, he was ready to depart the moment the order was given.
“No, that won’t do.”
Blaine shook his head.
Isaac had suffered for 8 years and barely returned, so ordering him to march out immediately would be too harsh a command, wouldn’t it?
“But we don’t know when the Ogre King might attack again.”
“Sigh, but still, sending you…”
“Please, I beg you!”
At Isaac’s plea, a look of conflict crossed Blaine’s face.
While he was truly happy that Isaac was volunteering, sending him back to the battlefield without giving him proper leave didn’t sit well with him.
“It’s fine. I’ll go.”
At that moment, Jung Hoon stepped forward.
“Are, are you serious?”
“Yes.”
When Jung Hoon nodded, an exclamation mark blinked above Blaine’s head.
He had completed the Quest.
[You have completed the Quest.]
[100,000 Exp has been awarded.]
[Blaine’s trust has slightly increased.]
[You can proceed to the next Quest.]
Upon completing the Quest, a question mark began blinking above Blaine’s head again.
[General Quest: Ogre King Subjugation]
-Requirement: Lord’s Castle Blaine’s trust 10% or higher
-Reward: Autoban Honorary Knight
-Description: Subjugate the Ogre King.
The Ogre King Subjugation Quest.
A Quest completed by annihilating all the groups led by the Level 190 Ogre King, and finally subjugating the Ogre King itself.
‘The Ogre King appeared around this time.’
The Ogre King was a monster that New World had newly added.
Only a week had passed, but no one had cleared it yet.
Not only was the reward meager, but it was much more efficient to spend the time hunting and leveling instead of performing the Quest.
Users who had completed their 2nd job advancement usually stayed in villages like Autoban until they reached level 150, and they all spent most of their time hunting monsters.
[Focus on dungeons after 2nd job advancement]
-Getting rewards from quests is nice and all… but honestly, once you’re past level 100, it’s time to focus on leveling ㅇㅇ
└This is true because Quest rewards aren’t particularly good
└Well, if you work hard at it, you might get something good out of it lol But it’s much more beneficial to level up and quickly move on to the next town to get quests
└ Agreed, I also wasted a lot of time focusing on Quest without knowing what I was doing ㅠㅠ
Welcome’s strategy guides also recommended that users staying in the 100-150 level range after 2nd job advancement should preferably run dungeons repeatedly.
“Wait! Then I’ll come with you too!”
When he accepted the Quest, Isaac urgently shouted.
“It’s fine. I’ll do it alone.”
This was Isaac who had lived on the streets for 8 years.
Taking away someone who had endured such a long time with longing for his family was not something Jung Hoon felt good about either.
“Still…”
“It’s fine. Please leave this to me.”
Faced with Jung Hoon’s resolute expression, Isaac finally gave up.
“…I understand.”
* * *
After receiving the quest, Jung Hoon immediately headed to the Northern Field.
Unlike the previous Beginner Zone, Autoban’s fields numbered over 100.
To reach the Ogre King in the north, he would need to cross at least 20 more fields.
‘Yet the reason he can come down is.’
A hidden portal near the Lord’s Castle.
That portal was connected to the Ogre King’s stronghold.
While users who received the quest couldn’t use the locked portal, the Ogre King and his minions could travel back and forth through it.
Of course, it couldn’t be used every time, and he knew it could only be used once a month.
“This spot’s taken.”
“We’ve gathered monsters there, so don’t kill them.”
Upon entering the field, Jung Hoon noticed four users hunting in a party.
They warned Jung Hoon, who had entered the field, not to touch their monsters.
Since it was the rule that party members who claimed spots first monopolized the monsters, users had to compete for spots while being mindful of each other.
“Yes.”
Jung Hoon wasn’t interested in those monsters anyway, so he quietly moved to the next field.
“This spot’s taken!”
“Don’t touch them!”
The next field was the same.
After that, every field had users who had claimed spots and were hunting.
It was so bad that monsters that should have been roaming the field were hunted as soon as they spawned, leaving not a single monster in the vicinity.
“Hey!”
“Stop right there.”
And with so many users around, all sorts of things happened in the fields.
Two users approached Jung Hoon.
===
[Player Information]
-Nickname: Mom’s Soup is Salty
-Level: 141
-Class: Assassin (2nd tier)
===
A Rare Grade assassin with an unusual nickname.
And the one next to him was even more ridiculous.
===
[Player Information]
-Nickname: Unfilial Son
-Level: 142
-Class: Auraknight (2nd tier)
===
A level 142 Auraknight.
Auraknight was a Rare Grade class, an upgraded version of the Normal Grade Formal Knight.
Jung Hoon’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the two.
‘I was wondering why none had shown up.’
In Primordial Village and Edenhark, there were always troublemakers picking fights.
Autoban was no different.
Thugs who preyed on those who seemed relatively low-level and weak.
Their nicknames even advertised ‘I’m a villain.’
“Trying to pass through here?”
The assassin wore a wicked smile as he gestured with his chin toward the distant portal.
“So what?”
“So what, my ass! You were just going to walk past us?”
The Auraknight pointed his sword at Jung Hoon.
“Ah, a toll?”
“You’re quicker than I thought. 10 gold.”
Highway robbers.
He was dumbfounded by how casually they demanded 10 gold.
“If you don’t like it, die here.”
“Instead of that, let’s make a deal.”
“A deal?”
“Right. If you go a little further from here, there will be monsters. Help me subjugate those monsters. Then I’ll let one of you live.”
The number of monsters to subjugate was 500 or more.
It was a number he could handle alone, but having someone play lackey from behind would make things a bit easier.
On the other hand, the assassin and auranite burst into hollow laughter at the absurd words.
“Hahaha! This bastard, what did you just babble?”
“Right. Since he doesn’t have a mom… Guk!”
The auranite’s words couldn’t continue.
Jung Hoon had already deployed Divine Movement and struck his solar plexus with Myeongwang Fist Technique.
Taking a direct hit to the solar plexus, he flew back about 5 meters and crashed into the ground.
“Ha, this fucking bastard.”
Jung Hoon’s face, which had been calm just moments before, was now rippling with anger.
He swept his bangs back and approached the trembling auranite.
“Guk… Gueuk…”
Hit in the solar plexus, he couldn’t breathe properly and couldn’t even stand up.
Jung Hoon stepped on the guy’s head and let out a sneer.
“I wanted to pass this peacefully if possible, but you should watch who you’re talking to before saying such things.”
“What, what are you saying… you crazy bastard…”
The auranite glared at Jung Hoon with bloodshot eyes.
[Black Field is activated.]
Jung Hoon activated Black Field.
The ground turned black, and human arms emerged from within, grabbing the auranite’s entire body.
It was a hallucination only visible to him.
“Geu, geuhuk…”
He couldn’t breathe properly and couldn’t even scream properly.
“See you in 24 hours.”
With those words, Jung Hoon drew his dagger and cut the auranite’s throat.
The assassin was overwhelmed with bewilderment at what happened in an instant.
His friend’s level was 142.
And the Martial Artist before his eyes was 102.
A whopping 40-level difference.
So normally, his friend should have been untouchable.
But the situation unfolding before his eyes was the complete opposite.
“What, what is this…?”
“Now it’s your turn.”
Jung Hoon’s eyes turned toward the assassin.
Flinch.
The assassin who received that gaze head-on trembled once.
‘Did I just get scared of a guy like that…?’
Unbelievable.
He was a level 141 assassin!
Would he really be scared of a mere common-grade Martial Artist!
His friend got caught off guard, but this time it wouldn’t be easy.
Mom’s Soup is Salty used Stealth.
His body became semi-transparent.
When using Stealth, no one could see him for 60 seconds.
Of course, it was a skill that didn’t work on higher-level opponents, but the Martial Artist before him was only level 102.
‘You’re dead.’
He wouldn’t kill him nicely.
After inflicting extreme pain, he would strip everything he had and then kill him.
And 24 hours later, he would wait for him to log in and kill him once more.
“Hiding won’t do you any good.”
With those words, Jung Hoon drew Anima and pulled the bowstring.
‘Huh? Why does a Martial Artist have a bow?’
Usually Martial Artists would equip knuckles, but he was holding a bow despite not being an archer.
Well, it didn’t matter.
It was impossible for a mere level 102 to see through his Stealth.
But what was this?
As he tried to move, the guy’s gaze was fixed on this direction.
‘Could he actually see me…?’
That couldn’t be.
The assassin drew the dagger from his chest and approached Jung Hoon.
That’s when it happened.
Jung Hoon aimed at the assassin and released the bowstring he had pulled.
Fwishuuuk!
The arrow pierced precisely through the assassin’s throat.
“Keuhuk!”
The assassin with his throat pierced collapsed on the spot.
‘What, what…?’
How could a level 102 find his Stealth?
The assassin barely held onto his fading consciousness as he struggled to look up at Jung Hoon approaching him.
“Uh… uh…”
His voice wouldn’t come out properly.
Looking down at that sight, Jung Hoon threw out a brief remark.
“Now get lost.”
* * *
Whoosh—
“Fuck!”
The Capsule door opened and a male with traces of adolescence still remaining came out cursing profusely.
He was Hong Hyeon Woo, who had a level 142 Auronite profession.
Currently, he was obsessed with New World to the point of dropping out of high school and spending all day at Home playing only New World.
He had just died at the hands of a Martial Artist who was only level 102.
And it was a humiliating death at the hands of someone who was merely a common-grade Official Martial Artist.
“That fucking bastard! I’ll definitely kill him!”
Hong Hyeon Woo threw everything in sight at the wall, causing a commotion.
Then the door burst open and a middle-aged woman entered.
It was Lee Mi Jeong, Hong Hyeon Woo’s mother.
“Why are you acting up again? Huh?”
She asked Hong Hyeon Woo with a worried expression.
“You’re being noisy, so get out! Get out!”
Hong Hyeon Woo threw the pen he was holding at her.
“Kyaah!”
“Hong Hyeon Woo! You crazy bastard!”
Following that, a man who appeared to be in his early twenties entered.
It was Hong Jin Woo, Hong Hyeon Woo’s older brother.
He was about 10cm taller than Hong Hyeon Woo and had a build that was about 20kg heavier.
When he glared at Hong Hyeon Woo with murderous eyes, Hong Hyeon Woo’s body flinched.
“You, you were being noisy, so that’s why!”
While saying that and glaring at Lee Mi Jeong, Hong Jin Woo approached and grabbed Hong Hyeon Woo by the collar.
“I warned you. I don’t care if your life goes to shit, but I won’t stand for you defying our parents.”
“Guh, guhk!”
“Jin Woo, stop it.”
Lee Mi Jeong urgently stopped the two.
Eventually, Hong Jin Woo released the collar he had grabbed.
“Yes.”
“Thank you. And Hyeon Woo… it’s fine to play games, but please don’t throw things around. I’m asking you.”
Lee Mi Jeong left those words and exited the room with Hong Jin Woo.
Left alone, Hong Hyeon Woo trembled with his fists.
‘That bastard.’
This was all because of that Martial Artist bastard.
Hong Hyeon Woo took out his Smartphone and sent a message to his friend Kim Bong Gu.
Since he died to that guy, he was logged out for 24 hours, so messaging was the only way to contact him.
But less than 5 seconds after sending the message, the number 1 disappeared.
[Fuck, I died too]
Even Kim Bong Gu had died to the Martial Artist, according to the reply that came.
[You too?]
[Yeah, what the hell is that guy?]
[First, let’s go back in after 24 hours. Tell Seon Ho and Ji Ho too, so we can all gang up on him]
Hong Hyeon Woo had no intention of just letting this slide.
He would definitely crush that Martial Artist bastard who had given him such humiliation.
[OK, I’ll contact them right away]
And so 24 hours passed.
Hong Hyeon Woo, grinding his teeth, immediately logged into New World.
And
“You’re here?”
He saw the Martial Artist who had killed him grinning wickedly as he released a drawn Bowstring.
Whoooosh!
An Arrow flew over and pierced through Hong Hyeon Woo’s head.
“Guhek!”
