Monster Domination: Game’s Strongest Episode 27

“Okay! Then let’s go with this! We’re in agreement, right?”

At Rain’s excited voice, Kairen also smiled faintly.

It was quite a satisfactory deal.

The only disappointing thing was that Rain came to her senses too late?

Thinking she was giving too much, she lowered the amount slightly.

Well, even considering that, it was good enough.

If we’re on the same boat and she’s the captain, then I’m not a crew member but a VIP passenger of that boat?

It was a contract that would let me enjoy pleasure without responsibility.

“Ah. Where do you live? We need to meet and write up a contract.”

“Huh? We’re writing a contract too?”

“Of course, would I just give you this much money?”

“That’s true.”

He nodded, but on the other hand, it was quite amusing.

To think that tens of millions of won would change hands and contracts would be written just for joining a game mercenary group.

If an elderly person heard this, they’d be flabbergasted.

“Ah. So you live over there. Then let’s think of somewhere around Hongdae. We’ll set the date slowly. Ah. And check your DMs carefully. I’ll contact you through that in real life.”

After roughly making plans, Rain covered her mouth and laughed.

Seeming very pleased with this deal, she muttered words like ‘Nice!’ and ‘Great!’ like a child.

Then, as if suddenly remembering, she asked in a coquettish voice.

“Ah, then is there anything else you’re curious about or want to ask? Personal questions are fine too. There are no secrets between us now.”

A meaningful statement coming from a mature character.

But since Kairen knew her true nature, he just let out a hollow laugh.

“Not really.”

“Geez. You have nothing you’re curious about with a friend you met after so long? Like, whether I have a boyfriend or not.”

Rain winked and crossed her long legs seductively, but Kairen frowned as if he’d seen something he shouldn’t have.

“Oh. I’m not even a speck curious about that.”

“Why don’t you be at least a speck curious?”

Rain glanced at him sourly, then shifted her gaze to the bow hanging behind Kairen’s back.

A bow that emanated such noble energy that it was hard to believe a beginner who had just changed jobs would possess it.

It was clearly no ordinary item.

At minimum it was Unique. No, judging by the aura it gave off, it might even be a ‘Legendary Weapon’ that fewer than 100 people had obtained.

“Hmm? Ah. Come to think of it, I haven’t told you my job.”

Reading her gaze, Kairen clicked his tongue inwardly.

So Rain was trying to make a contract without even knowing my job?

What would she have done if the event reward had turned out to be mediocre?

“Ah. Right! Tell me quickly!”

Rain clapped her hands, her eyes shining like stars with anticipation.

Instead of answering, Kairen lightly gestured toward the air and thicket.

Reading the signal, Garuda and Rookie quickly ran over and stuck close.

“Ah! These guys are!”

Rain pointed at the two animals in shock.

The dog who had been the protagonist of a refreshing revenge and the mysterious bird that had appeared like a guardian deity during the event, displaying powerful magic.

With the aftermath of the event still fresh, they were celebrities that no New World user could fail to recognize.

The mysterious bird was especially popular.

Ambitious players were appearing all over, wandering the village with desires to make it their pet.

“Say hello. These are my companions. Garuda and Rookie.”

“H-hello?”

Rain greeted them awkwardly, but Garuda and Rookie reacted indifferently.

After giving her a brief glance, they nuzzled their heads against Kairen.

Rain felt hurt by their cold treatment, but that was only momentary.

Her heart swelled with excitement and joy.

‘Jackpot! I got to eat the pheasant and the egg too?’

She had recruited Kairen, and those two came along with him.

This was a harvest beyond expectations.

Especially Garuda gave her more anticipation than recruiting any ordinary user.

Recalling the skill that mysterious bird had unleashed, it was definitely at least a Unique-grade monster.

“As you can see, my job is.”

Kairen paused to catch his breath.

“Tamer. However, I use a bow to tame, like an archer.”

Kairen hid the truth.

For a moment, he had pondered.

Should he honestly reveal that he was a Monster Lord?

But his trust with Rain was still too shallow for that.

For now, this level of explanation was best.

“Oho. That’s an interesting job. It’s the first combination I’ve seen in New World. Archer and Tamer. Well, thinking about it, it’s not bad.”

Stroking her chin, Rain nodded thoughtfully.

She too instinctively felt that Kairen was hiding something, but deliberately pretended not to notice.

If she pressed him about it and Kairen changed his mind?

Though her friend’s secret hurt, losing this hard-won connection would be more heartbreaking.

“Ah. Come to think of it, I don’t know your job either.”

Kairen gestured with his chin as if to say it was her turn.

At that question, Rain smiled mysteriously as if she’d been waiting and puffed out her chest.

“My job is…”

* * *

20 minutes later, in another part of the forest.

Whoooosh…

A quiet wind sang as it swept through the grass and leaves.

And what tore through that peaceful melody was the rough breathing of a man burning with vengeance.

“Where are you, Kairen.”

Yuhan’s eyes glittered with madness as he pushed through the thicket as if tearing it apart.

Other rankers thought Kairen had logged out, but his thinking was different.

His sub-character had dropped ‘Dallinjer’s Ring’ when it died.

Since he had suddenly disappeared, that bastard must have used that item.

“You bastard… I’ll pay you back the same way.”

Recalling his humiliation, Yuhan pulled out a yellow glass bottle and gripped it tightly.

A fragrant smell wafted from the glass bottle where yellow liquid sloshed.

[Job Reset Potion (Unique)] Returns the user’s job to beginner. When consumed, the user’s level is reduced by half.

An item that was the only hope for users who wanted to change jobs despite the strong penalty.

For his current self, it was an object that would put the finishing touch on his revenge.

Yuhan twisted his lips in a cruel smile.

He would force open that bastard’s mouth and make him drink this.

Just as he had, that bastard would also taste great despair.

That bastard’s wishes didn’t matter at all.

Yuhan was his main character and a hidden job in the swordsman class.

No matter how much of an event winner he was, there was no way he could block this.

As he recalled Kairen’s expression twisted in despair and let out a disgusting smile.

“Oh my? Who do we have here?”

A coquettish voice came from the darkness between the thickets.

A woman slowly revealed herself, and Yuhan froze in place.

Surely, all the rankers had withdrawn, hadn’t they?

Why was that woman here?

“Rain, the Guild Leader of Bow…”

The madness faded from Yuhan’s face, replaced by bewilderment and wariness.

“Oh my, you recognize me? How honored I am.”

Rain covered her lips and smiled seductively.

“For rankers to meet in such a low-level hunting ground, we must have the same goal, right?”

“…!”

Sensing the killing intent in her voice, Yuhan bit his lips tightly.

Though Rain and his goal might be the same, their purposes were different.

His desire toward Kairen was destructive, but hers was possessive.

They couldn’t coexist.

“It’s a misunderstanding. The reason I came here is…”

Yuhan trailed off and took a slight step back.

“Oh my? What misunderstanding?”

Thud.

Rain took large steps, not letting the distance widen.

‘Damn! Damn!’

Under the pressure that constricted his entire body like a spider’s web, Yuhan continuously muttered curses.

Sensing the blatant hostility, Yuhan racked his brain.

Could I win if I fought her?

No. It would be impossible even if heaven and earth turned upside down.

His opponent was a ranker of a completely different caliber.

One of the 100 strong who reigned over tens of millions, hundreds of millions of users.

She was a Top 100 ranker, incomparable to himself who was ranked 1,500th.

“Get lost! You monster bitch!”

Having finished his calculations, Yuhan turned around and kicked off the ground.

‘Damn it! Kairen! Just wait a little longer!’

His teeth ground together in frustration.

To miss the chance for revenge right before his eyes.

He’d probably suffer nightmares again for a while, but there was nothing he could do now.

“Oh my? You’re quite fast.”

“…!”

Yuhan’s eyes widened.

She had definitely been behind him just moments ago.

But now she had appeared in front of him, grinning as she casually extended her foot.

Thwack!

“Kugh!”

Struck in the abdomen, Yuhan’s body flew like a piece of paper and crashed into a tree.

Half his health disappeared from a single light kick.

Yuhan bit his lips tightly at the overwhelming gap he felt.

“Sorry about that. Did I kick too hard?”

Her voice echoed from all directions like an echo.

Her voice echoed like an echo.

Though it was one voice, it sounded like ten people speaking simultaneously.

‘Crazy… What a broken job.’

The Rain who had kicked him and the Rain who had been talking.

And eight other Rains as well.

Watching ten Rains walking toward him step by step, Yuhan’s eyes trembled.

Mirage Archer.

One of the widely known hidden jobs.

It was Rain’s job that could summon up to 9 clones and control them like her own body.

Though it was the same hidden job class, it was incomparably higher tier than his own.

Rain had become a ranker with that job alone.

And the Bow Mercenary Group, composed only of archer classes, had secured a position around the Top 100.

The ten Rains who had gradually approached soon merged into one.

Crunch!

Rain, who had been slowly approaching, stepped on and crushed an insect.

Seeing the bottle containing yellow liquid that had fallen beside the insect corpse, Rain’s face hardened.

But soon she turned her gaze away, approached right up to Yuhan’s face, bent her waist, and grinned.

Her voluptuous cleavage was revealed, but Yuhan didn’t even glance at it and screamed at the top of his lungs.

“What did I do to deserve this!!”

“Oh my? Who was it that said weak guys should just shut up and take their beating?”

“…”

It was something Yuhan used to say like a habit during his streamer days when PKing.

“Pe, penalty! If you kill me, the penalty will be no joke!!”

Yuhan shouted desperately.

In New World, PK was free, but bullying was strictly regulated.

The greater the level difference, the stronger the penalty given to the higher-level user.

And the level difference between Yuhan and Rain was like heaven and earth.

It was a gap that would warrant a sufficiently strong penalty.

Rain, who naturally knew this fact, straightened her waist and pretended to ponder while stroking her chin.

“Hmm.”

Catching a glimpse of hope, Yuhan smiled obsequiously.

“J, just let me go. You want Kairen, right? I’m sorry. I won’t even touch him with a fingertip anymore…”

“Oh my? Really? What a good boy.”

Rain smiled brightly and clapped her hands.

Though puzzled by that incongruous behavior, Yuhan smiled awkwardly.

“I promise. Really.”

“You really are a good boy, aren’t you? Good children should get rewards.”

Rain turned around and walked away.

At what seemed like her letting him go, Yuhan slightly raised his body and twisted his lips into a smile.

“Stay there. You need to receive your reward before leaving.”

With her back turned, her words made him freeze in place.

Then Rain bent her waist and picked something up.

“Here. A present for the good boy.”

Rain swirled a glass bottle containing yellow liquid.

Seeing that potion, Yuhan’s expression was colored with shock.

It was the ‘Job Reset Potion’ he had dropped when kicked.

“Wh, why that…”

“Why? I said it’s a reward, didn’t I? I’ll feed it to you myself.”

Rain’s lips twisted strangely.

Realizing her intention, Yuhan urgently shouted.

“Logout! Logout!”

[You cannot log out during combat.]

“No, no way.”

Yuhan’s eyes filled with despair at the cruel alarm that rang out.

As a ranker, she would surely know what that potion was.

The moment she discovered it, she would have instantly realized his sinister plan.

Step, step.

Rain walked leisurely as if taking a stroll.

“Pl-please….”

Unlike her relaxed demeanor, Yuhan’s voice was filled with desperation.

“Just, just once…. Please….”

Tears poured from his eyes like a waterfall.

All the effort and time he had poured into this character.

The astronomical amount of money.

Everything flashed before his eyes like a panorama.

“I, I really can’t lose this. If I lose even this, I really can’t go on.”

His face covered in tears and snot, he clasped his hands together and begged.

Even at that desperate cry, Rain continued walking step by step.

“Ah!!! I said I really can’t!!! This isn’t right! It’s not right!!”

Yuhan thrashed about and shouted like a child throwing a tantrum.

Rain, who had approached close, smiled coldly.

“Now. It’s time to take your medicine.”

Rain pressed both his cheeks and forced his mouth open, pouring the potion down his throat.

“Kugh!!, Uwek!! Ptui!!”

Yuhan made disgusting sounds as he tried to reject the liquid.

However, the cold liquid flowed down his throat and spread throughout his entire body.

Soon, immense despair whispered in his ears.

[You have consumed a ‘Job Reset Potion’!]

[Hidden job ‘Shadow Swordsman’ is being reset!]

[All job-exclusive skills are being destroyed.]

[Level is decreasing.]

[Level is decreasing.]

[Level is decreasing….]

The incessant alarms were a declaration of tumbling into an abyss.

“Ah…. Ahhh….”

Shedding tears like a waterfall, Yuhan made incomprehensible sounds.

He couldn’t even speak properly.

The nightmare he had tried to inflict on Kairen.

No, an even more terrible hell had unfolded before him.

Like an insect collapsing, Yuhan slumped down with a thud.

Thwack!

And that was Yuhan’s end.

Rain shot her bow without hesitation, like crushing an insect.

[You have killed an adventurer with an extreme level difference!]

[As a penalty, your level will….]

An unwelcome alarm rang out, but Rain smiled seductively as she swept her hair back.
