Chapter 82

[Level Up!]

[All stats increased by +1.]

[Bonus Stats +1 awarded.]

Kim Bong Gu’s lips curved up to his ears at the welcome message.

A level up message he hadn’t seen in such a long time.

With this, his level had reached 142.

‘It’s finally over!’

What made him even happier was that the vicious monster hadn’t come looking for him since the event.

Since he had worked hard doing what was asked during the event, he must have been forgiven.

-Nickname: Mom’s Soup is Salty

-Level: 142

-Class: Dark Fighter (2nd Tier)

Even better, his class grade had risen from Rare to Epic Grade as an event reward.

Thanks to this, he learned skills that were superior versions of Assassin abilities, making monster hunting much easier.

He had also obtained an Epic Grade Weapon from a boss monster.

‘As expected, people should live virtuously!’

Once he stopped doing bad things, good things started happening one after another.

“Hey, you fucking bastard!”

Just then, a familiar voice struck Kim Bong Gu’s ears.

Kim Bong Gu’s head turned.

There were four eyes glaring at him as if they wanted to kill him.

“What? All of a sudden?”

They were the low-quality bunch who used to hang around with Hong Hyeon Woo.

Unlike Hong Hyeon Woo who was Rare Grade, these guys were Common Grade.

Kim Bong Gu had also gotten to know them through becoming close with Hong Hyeon Woo, and they had stuck together with Hong Hyeon Woo at the center.

So they were the guys he had naturally cut contact with after falling out with Hong Hyeon Woo.

He never expected to run into them here.

“All of a sudden? We heard from Hyeon Woo. That you betrayed us and sided with that bastard?”

“Fuck, were we the only ones who thought we were friends? How could you stab us in the back?”

Kim Bong Gu tilted his head.

“Stab in the back? I don’t know what he told you guys to make you say I stabbed you in the back.”

“What? So you’re saying it’s not true? You did side with that bastard!”

“Bullshit. Anyway, I have nothing to say to you, so just go.”

These guys weren’t even worth dealing with.

“This fucking bastard really…!”

He couldn’t continue his words.

Because Kim Bong Gu’s aura had changed instantly.

‘Fuck, what?’

‘Dark Fighter? Isn’t that Epic Grade?’

Only then did Kim Bong Gu’s class catch their eye.

The last time they saw him, his class was Assassin.

Since the difference between Rare and Common Grade was like heaven and earth, they had judged there would be no chance in a one-on-one fight and came together.

But now Kim Bong Gu wasn’t Rare, but Epic.

“Want to try it? Should I give you guys a month suspension like Hong Hyeon Woo?”

“…Fuck!”

“Disgusting bastard, next time we meet you’re really dead!”

The guys spat out those words and ran away with their tails between their legs.

Kim Bong Gu snorted derisively and withdrew his aura.

‘Hah… I lived such a fucking worthless life.’

The fact that he used to hang around with those kinds of guys every day disgusted him.

[Whisper/Hoon -> Mom’s Soup is Salty: Come to Autoban.]

And then a heart-stopping whisper arrived.

Kim Bong Gu’s complexion turned white instantly.

‘Why again…?’

Wasn’t it over with that event?

[Whisper/Hoon -> Mom’s Soup is Salty: Not answering?]

When he stayed still, another whisper arrived.

Kim Bong Gu was startled and frantically moved his fingers.

[Whisper/Mom’s Soup is Salty -> Hoon: I’ll come right away! Should I go to the Plaza?]

[Whisper/Hoon -> Mom’s Soup is Salty: Sending location.]

* * *

The next place Jung Hoon headed to was the cliff located at the Western Edge.

‘Hoon, you said you were in Autoban, right?’

‘That’s right.’

‘Oh, then do you know about the Western Edge there?’

‘The Western Edge?’

‘The place blocked off by a cliff!’

‘No. I never had a reason to go to such a place.’

‘Hehe, then I’ll tell you an amazing fact. Everyone probably thought that place was blocked off, but actually, there was a Bug City there.’

Maximus Perion, who was both a comrade and a traitor.

He was a Martial Artist like Jung Hoon and was like a mentor to him.

Of course, Jung Hoon eventually surpassed him, but the fact that he was a mentor remained unchanged.

That same Maximus Perion had conspired with the traitors at the end and drove Jung Hoon to his death.

‘It’s about time that bastard discovers it.’

Maximus was a user who had entered the game quite late.

The hidden opportunity currently at the Western Edge of Autoban hadn’t been discovered yet, but in just a few days, that bastard would take it.

That’s why he had arrived at the right timing.

The bottom of the cliff was so deep that it was shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see anything with the naked eye.

[What, are you planning to fall and die here? Awesome! Does this mean I won’t have a master anymore?!]

Mukho spoke to him.

This guy really had a talent for getting on people’s nerves.

However, this much didn’t even make him angry.

“That will absolutely never happen, so don’t worry.”

[No way. I’ll pray hard for that to happen!]

“Do whatever you want.”

Jung Hoon chuckled and summoned Michael.

“Did you call for me?!”

Michael answered with a disciplined expression.

[What’s that guy that looks like spoiled milk?]

Mukho immediately dissed Michael.

Unlike Anima, Michael couldn’t hear Mukho’s words and showed no reaction.

[Hey? Can’t you hear me? Don’t tell me your eardrums rotted away too?]

How would he understand when you don’t even have a mouth, you idiot.

Jung Hoon mentally retorted to Mukho and pointed at the cliff.

“Right. It’s nothing else, but today we’re going down there.”

“…Here?”

Michael reacted with a reluctant expression.

“Yeah. When you go down, a Portal will automatically connect.”

“…I can’t see the bottom? I’ll die if I go down there!”

Michael automatically shook his head while pointing at the darkness below the cliff.

“Don’t worry. You won’t die.”

Jung Hoon had been able to receive support for items needed for growth after joining Hoyeong.

So he had requested several items in preparation for today’s task, and was able to receive the items in less than a day.

What came out of his Inventory was the Infinite Rope.

It was a special rope that would never break, with unlimited length and Rare Grade.

It also had special magic cast on it, allowing direct braking control by hand without separate fixing, and automatically adjusted to withstand up to 10 tons of weight.

“No way. No way. I’ll die of a heart attack. This is crazy!”

Michael shouted loudly.

He seemed quite reluctant to go down.

“Really? Then should I send Kim Bong Gu down first?”

Jung Hoon had whispered to Kim Bong Gu before proceeding with today’s task.

To find the hidden opportunity at the bottom of this cliff, at least 2 or more users needed to form a party.

Since Michael was classified as a tamed monster, another user was needed.

That’s when he thought of Kim Bong Gu.

‘Ha Jin is busy with raids.’

Ha Jin was busy running raids with his guild.

With his personal capsule and upgrading to Aura Knight, he had become much busier.

“Did, did you call for me?”

Kim Bong Gu arrived shortly after.

“Hm? You’ve risen to Epic?”

Kim Bong Gu had grown into an Epic Grade Dark Fighter instead of an Assassin.

“Hehe, thanks to getting in on the action well, I was able to upgrade my class grade.”

Epic was the maximum for class upgrades.

For Kim Bong Gu, who was Rare Grade, there was no reason not to choose the option to upgrade to Epic.

“That’s good. Shall we start then?”

Jung Hoon sent a party invitation to Kim Bong Gu.

Kim Bong Gu accepted and a 2-person party was formed.

“Yes! Then what should I do?”

“Michael, go tie his waist.”

When Jung Hoon gestured with his chin, Michael moved quickly and wrapped the rope tightly around Kim Bong Gu’s waist.

“Stay still. I can’t tie it properly.”

Kim Bong Gu’s face turned pale with confusion at Michael’s irritated voice.

“Wh-what are you trying to do?!”

“What do you think? We need to go down to the bottom of that cliff.”

“What?! Wait a minute!”

Kim Bong Gu struggled desperately.

What crazy bastard would try to go down this cliff?!

Oh, that crazy bastard is right there.

“It would be better if you stayed still while being tied up.”

At Jung Hoon’s words, Kim Bong Gu stopped struggling and gave up.

Whatever happened, he was the one who would be going down from here.

“…This won’t come loose, right?”

Kim Bong Gu asked with a desperate voice.

He mixed in a spoonful of hope, wishing Jung Hoon would tell him it would never come loose.

Fortunately, Jung Hoon didn’t tease him and answered seriously.

“That won’t happen. It’s specially made.”

Going down this high cliff relying only on a single rope was not an easy task.

It was because of the fear that crushed one’s entire body.

“Th-then that’s fortunate.”

“Don’t worry. If it looks like there’s going to be a problem, I’ll stop it beforehand.”

“…How?”

“Don’t ask for details.”

“Yes…”

Jung Hoon grabbed the rope with his hand.

“Now go down.”

“…What? Aren’t you going to tie it to a tree?”

“It’s a rope that can be controlled by hand.”

Kim Bong Gu’s face turned deathly pale at the words that it could be controlled by hand.

If he fell, it would be 100% death.

Even if he logged in again, he didn’t have the confidence to climb back up this high cliff.

Kim Bong Gu knelt in front of Jung Hoon and began begging desperately.

“Pl-please spare me! Didn’t I say I would do whatever you told me to?!”

“Right. You said you’d do anything, didn’t you?”

“But that doesn’t mean you should kill me… huuung…”

Kim Bong Gu was firmly misunderstanding that Jung Hoon intended to drop him to the bottom of this cliff and trap him there.

Jung Hoon sighed at the sight of him even bursting into tears.

“I think there’s some misunderstanding, but this is a rope that can be controlled by hand. I’m not thinking of killing you.”

“That’s a lie…”

[Wow, this bastard has a rotten fish head but is also incredibly cowardly.]

Mukho criticized Kim Bong Gu with an irritated voice.

‘This time he’s saying something right?’

At times like this, it felt like scratching an itchy back.

“Try running to the side.”

“R-run?”

“Yeah.”

Kim Bong Gu got up and ran to the side.

Then Jung Hoon gripped the rope tightly with his fist, and the rope became taut and fixed, causing Kim Bong Gu, who had been running, to fall down on the spot.

“Don’t untie the rope, just release the brake. Then I’ll send Michael down instead of you.”

“R-really?”

“Yeah.”

“…Understood!”

Kim Bong Gu shouted with shining eyes.

However, despite that shout, it was Kim Bong Gu who went down to the bottom of the cliff.

* * *

“You confirmed it, right?”

“Yes…”

The brake definitely worked.

Kim Bong Gu slowly went down the cliff with his trembling body.

However, he couldn’t go down far before he missed his footing and danced in mid-air.

“…What are you doing right now?”

“I-I need to go back up! I lost my balance!”

Kim Bong Gu screamed for help.

“Sigh, at this rate it’ll never end. Sorry, but bear with it for a moment.”

“Huh?”

Jung Hoon loosened his grip on the hand he was holding.

Then the brake was released and Kim Bong Gu rapidly fell toward the bottom of the cliff.

Aaaahhh!

When the screaming grew distant, Jung Hoon tightened his grip.

Then the rope miraculously caught and braked.

There was no chafing of the skin either.

‘It really is good rope.’

Jung Hoon repeatedly loosened and tightened his grip gently so that Kim Bong Gu could land safely.

And only after confirming that the rope wouldn’t come loose even without the brake did he completely let go.

[You have discovered an Unknown Region.]

[You have gained 10,000 Achievement points.]

Along with that message, a portal was created in front of Jung Hoon.

It was a portal connected to the bottom of the cliff.

[Lv.?? Would you like to head to the entrance of the Incompletely Implemented City?]

Incompletely Implemented City.

New World was a worldview created by fragmenting and piecing together countless worlds.

In that piecing process, there were dimensions that failed to attach properly, and this city could be said to be one of them.

It was a kind of bug.

Nevertheless, New World did not fix this bug.

‘It’s like an opportunity left behind for people to exploit.’

Jung Hoon intended to exploit that bug very thoroughly.
