Chapter 60
He had tried to let it slide as much as possible.
Like the previous guys who simply picked fights, he was going to end it with a 24-hour logout or use them as lackeys to subjugate the Ogre King.
‘Because he has no mother.’
However, that bastard crossed a line that should never be crossed.
Since he absolutely couldn’t let it slide, Jung Hoon settled in that field and began hunting monsters.
Since the assassin and Auralite guys had claimed an area earlier, hunting in that area wasn’t a problem.
“Are you alone? That looks difficult.”
“Are you leaving this spot?”
“Would you like to party with me? I’ll carry you.”
Since Jung Hoon was alone, various users approached him.
It was because the spot he had taken was quite a sweet location.
The surrounding terrain only had 3 rocks embedded in it, and the ground was clean as if it had been leveled.
Also, when monsters were hunted, about 20 would respawn every 10 seconds, making it very suitable for leveling.
It was natural for users to approach.
However, after seeing Jung Hoon hunt monsters, they avoided him on their own.
“What the hell is that…”
“Is he really level 102?”
The hunting ground’s level was around 120.
It was natural to be bewildered since he was massacring monsters in a hunting ground that was a whopping 18 levels higher.
In between, he logged out to have a meal with his mother, got comfortable sleep, and waited for them to log back in.
“Hey. Do you really need to go this far?”
Anima circled above Jung Hoon’s head and asked.
“Yeah. I’m going to make those bastards sick to death of it.”
The Ogre King Quest could be delayed a little.
It’s not like there was a time limit on the quest anyway.
“…Those guys really messed with the wrong person.”
Anima clicked her tongue.
‘They should be logging in soon.’
24 hours had passed.
Usually when you receive a penalty from death and are forced to log out, you log in at the same location when you re-login.
If it’s a dungeon, at the entrance in front of it.
If it’s a field, at the spot where you died.
Those guys were the latter.
And not even a few minutes later, the Auralite who had died by Jung Hoon’s hand appeared.
Jung Hoon drew his bowstring without hesitation.
“…!”
When he made eye contact with the Auralite, he released the bowstring he had drawn.
The arrow shot out and pierced through the Auralite’s head.
The guy was forced to log out again.
If you die again in less than 10 minutes after receiving a 24-hour penalty, this time a 48-hour penalty is imposed.
‘That’s why users don’t make rash challenges.’
This was exactly why they didn’t make dangerous attempts carelessly.
There were even cases of permanent bans if you got caught wrong.
[Level 271 user here. If anyone’s in trouble, comment below]
└Please help me ㅠㅠ There are monsters swarming everywhere and I die immediately when I go in…
└15 gold.
Ugh… it’s so expensive though. Fine, I understand. But you absolutely have to get it for me ㅠㅠ
[Level 226 user here. If anyone’s stuck in fields or anywhere, please comment.]
└I’m level 133. Could you help me?
└12 gold call? I’ll rush over right away.
└Yes ㅠㅠ I’m already 48 hours into the suspension…
Like this, they would spend money on high-level users to overcome crises and avoid suspensions.
Jung Hoon drew his bow’s string again.
There was still one guy left.
As expected, the assassin appeared shortly after.
‘That’s the one.’
Since he might hit an innocent user, he confirmed it was definitely him before releasing the bowstring he had drawn.
Fwishuuuk!
“Kkeuk!”
The assassin, whose head was pierced by the arrow, also immediately logged out and boarded the 48-hour suspension train.
“That cra, crazy…”
“What the hell is that…?”
Two users who had been waiting nearby were watching the scene with dumbfounded faces.
They had been watching Jung Hoon for an hour since taking their positions.
Obviously they were probably in cahoots with those guys just now.
Their levels were similar too.
Level 138, level 140.
‘Why are his eyes so murderous?’
‘…Gulp.’
They didn’t even dare to think about attacking Jung Hoon.
When Jung Hoon glared at those two, they hastily left the area.
‘Crazy, that bastard is not someone to mess with.’
‘Hong Hyeon Woo, Kim Bong Gu, those crazy bastards, why did they have to pick a fight with someone like that.’
Seeing them flee as if their lives depended on it, Jung Hoon finally turned around.
“Are you going to end it now?”
“Not yet. I’m going to wait for 48 hours.”
“…Huh, just how many times are you planning to kill them?”
“Until my anger subsides.”
“…That sounds like you might make it so they can never set foot in this place again.”
“That’s right.”
Jung Hoon’s ultimate goal was to end the game.
Therefore, he had no intention of hindering other users’ growth, but these guys seemed to be an exception.
Trash like them would be impossible to recycle even outside.
There would be no problem kicking out guys who didn’t seem like they’d help with his ultimate goal.
And 48 hours passed.
“We’re sor… Guhk!”
“Kuk!”
Auralite and Assassin logged in simultaneously, planning to immediately kneel and beg Jung Hoon for forgiveness.
However, Jung Hoon was positioned above their heads.
He had no intention whatsoever of accepting their apology.
Jung Hoon, who had been waiting, blew off their heads once again.
“Scary guy….”
Anima shuddered at Jung Hoon’s obsession, who had been waiting in the same spot for several days now, repeatedly killing them whenever they appeared.
He was the type of human who should never be made an enemy.
“They’re paying for their sins.”
“Ahem.”
Once, there was a saying that circulated about repaying a debt of ten thousand gold with a single word.
In other words, a single word could also create a debt of ten thousand gold.
‘Looking at it this way, I’m quite petty too.’
But what could he do.
If they had only insulted him, he would have let it slide after killing them once, but those guys insulted his mother.
Auralite’s voice was deeply embedded in Jung Hoon’s mind.
That’s why he could never just let it go.
* * *
“Hey! At this rate we’re really going to be permanently banned!”
“What do you expect us to do… Ah, damn it.”
“Those bastards aren’t even our friends. Betraying us because they’re scared?”
Hong Hyeon Woo and Kim Bong Gu felt like crying.
They had been burning with revenge until their first death, but after their second death, their friends abandoned them.
They logged in together with the mindset of apologizing to him and just avoiding suspension.
However, Martial Artist had no intention of listening to their story and immediately killed them.
As a result, suspensions accumulated and this time they were suspended for 72 hours.
A whole 3 days.
Hong Hyeon Woo and Kim Bong Gu, who were deeply addicted to New World, were terrified.
If he attacked them during their next login, it would be 120 hours.
And if they died once more, it would be a week.
Then a month, a year, and finally permanent suspension.
“Hey, should we put in a request to Welcome?”
“Welcome?”
“Yeah. No matter how good that bastard is, he can’t do anything against users above level 200, right?”
“Ah, but those guys charge at least 10 gold minimum.”
“Then you want to keep getting beaten? Since it’s just taking down one level 102 Martial Artist, we could probably settle it for 6-7 gold.”
“That’s so expensive though….”
“If we succeed in taking down that Martial Artist bastard, we can extort double from him.”
“You’re right? Damn it. Let’s do it.”
Hong Hyeon Woo and Kim Bong Gu hurriedly entered Welcome.
* * *
Jung Hoon was relentless.
Even though he could advance to the next field, he absolutely refused to do so.
He continuously hunted the monsters that respawned in that spot without rest.
[Level increased.]
[All stats increased by +1.]
[Bonus Stats +1 awarded.]
Just from hunting here, his level increased twice.
With this, his level was now 104.
[Player Information]
-Nickname : Hoon
-Level : 104
-Class : Muhuang 2nd Advancement (Intermediate Martial Artist 2nd Advancement)

-Mental Power : 147(+17) -> 164
-Unapplied Stats : 1
Even though he was only level 104, his detailed stats were completely monstrous.
The reason he could face those trash players who had reached level 140.
Jung Hoon invested his newly received bonus stats into strength.
Now he was about to hunt monsters again for leveling.
“Hey.”
Someone approached Jung Hoon.
===
[Player Information]
-Nickname : Despair-Stained You
-Level : 201
-Class : Saber (3rd Tier)
===
He was a level 201 Saber.
Epic grade and had even completed the 3rd tier.
“What the hell is that human bastard?”
Anima, who was perched on Jung Hoon’s shoulder, tilted her head.
“Looks like someone put in a request.”
To avoid permanent suspension, they hired a high-level user through Welcome.
“Are you the scumbag who bullies innocent users?”
He didn’t know what kind of content was in the request, but Jung Hoon had become a notorious piece of trash.
“So what if I am?”
Of course, Jung Hoon had not even the slightest intention of explaining himself.
“Interesting. Want me to turn you into that same state?”
“If you can.”
“…Wow, you’re spouting that bullshit even after seeing I’m level 201?”
Jung Hoon’s lips curled up in a twisted smile.
At that smile, his opponent deployed a Movement Technique and charged at Jung Hoon.
A sword wreathed in blue Sword Aura slashed diagonally with a sharp cutting sound through the air.
‘He’s aiming for the neck.’
It was an attack intended to finish him in one blow.
However, Jung Hoon wasn’t one to be easily defeated.
He skillfully ducked his body and evaded the attack.
At the same time, he deployed Divine Movement and unleashed Myeongwang Martial Arts 1st Star.
Bang!
His fist struck the solar plexus area of the plate armor.
“…!”
The guy grimaced as if there was considerable impact.
However, since he was wearing high-grade armor, the armor remained intact.
‘Demon King Fist Technique 2nd Form.’
As the guy staggered from the shock, Jung Hoon immediately chained his Myeongwang Fist Technique and explosively raised it to the 2nd Form.
“You bastard!”
Then the guy’s body turned blue and he swung his sword powerfully.
It was an Invincibility Skill that an Epic-grade Saber could learn at 3rd tier.
When he deployed the Invincibility Skill, Jung Hoon skillfully used Divine Movement to create distance from him.
The Invincibility Skill lasted 15 seconds.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Jung Hoon counted the time internally while evading the guy’s attacks.
Seeing him dodge perfectly though narrowly, bewilderment spread across Despair-Stained You’s face.
‘What? How is he dodging so well?’
He was just a level 104 Martial Artist.
So normally he shouldn’t be able to withstand even one exchange of his attacks, but instead it was the Martial Artist who was pressing him.
One punch from that guy made his head ring, and at this rate it seemed like he would be the one to fall, so he hastily deployed his Invincibility Skill.
Since he had used his trump card, he needed to end this quickly somehow.
But none of his attacks were landing.
Even when he changed his sword path irregularly, the guy dodged narrowly as if toying with him.
“15 seconds are up.”
Then, the Martial Artist’s voice reached his ears.
At the same time, his spine went cold.
“Shit!”
And then followed the Myeongwang Fist Technique 3rd Form.
Despair-Stained You urgently deployed movement technique to create distance from Jung Hoon, but Jung Hoon could see through all of his thoughts.
He deployed Divine Movement in advance to instantly close the range.
The Myeongwang Fist Technique 3rd Form exploded near his solar plexus.
“Urgh!”
Unlike before, he let out a pained groan.
The Myeongwang Fist Technique’s damage increases with each rising star level.
It’s not a Legendary skill for nothing.
“Will you continue?”
Jung Hoon stopped attacking and asked.
A good idea had occurred to him.
If he ignored this, he was prepared to deploy up to the 4th Form to definitively end it.
“I lost! I’ve lost!”
Despair-Stained You hastily dropped the sword he was holding to the ground and knelt down.
He wasn’t a fool.
He realized from the damage just now that defeating the Martial Artist was impossible.
If he continued like this, he would surely end up in the same state as those who had put out the request.
“How much did you receive as commission?”
At the cold voice, Despair-Stained You’s shoulders trembled once before he spoke.
“15 Gold.”
“You took quite a lot.”
“…”
“15 Gold per person, right? Surely just killing isn’t the end of it.”
Despair-Stained You nodded his head.
“That’s right… They’re really vicious bastards. They told me to tie you up after killing you once.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes! I just received the request and was trying to carry it out as instructed. If you want, I’ll give you all the Gold I received!”
Jung Hoon shook his head at his posture of being ready to take out the Gold immediately.
“Never mind, you keep that. Instead, let me ask you for one favor.”
A favor…?
Despair-Stained You swallowed nervously with a tense face, waiting for Jung Hoon’s next words.
