The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 405

Yoon Se-ah's face flushed with fever.

Although Uncle Sung JiHan had already caught the attention of the administrators, making it difficult for him to disappear.

"Well, that's true."

"Just because you say that, do you think I'll be convinced? I can't just run away on my own. If you're going, I'll go with you!"

Yoon Se-ah couldn't understand and took a stubborn attitude, saying that she wouldn't go either.

However...

"...No. It's an explanation that I can understand. The 'sense' played a big role in bringing me to this world, more than anything else."

Mang-hon nodded in agreement with Sung JiHan's words.

"What are you talking about... huh?!"

Yoon Se-ah tried to speak informally to Mang-hon, like she did to Sung JiHan, but she raised her tone at the end.

Mang-hon smiled slightly at her and answered.

"I've had countless moments of choice. If I don't make the optimal choice, it leads to death. The deaths caused by the failure of choices include not only me but also you... Yoon Se-ah."

"Me, too... huh?"

"Yes. In this world, I have chosen only the correct answers to an extraordinary extent. As a result, he became a variable to restrain the gods, and you, Yoon Se-ah, also became a powerful player..."

[...So I shouldn't ignore JiHan's 'sense'.]

"Yes, that's right."

Mang-hon looked at Sung JiHan.

"I don't have to act with the noble purpose of leaving something for humanity. It's true that I have a really bad feeling about it."

"Because it's me, I know it well."

"W-What are you saying? How much has Uncle done for humanity until now?"

"He has the basic sense of justice, but he is not someone who sacrifices himself or his family to save humanity. Isn't that right?"

"I know it too well to the point where it makes me feel bad."

Sung JiHan nodded.

If he had been in the position of Dong Bang-sak or Asoka, he wouldn't have become a servant of the gods just to save humanity.

Sung JiHan thought that if he had been in their shoes, he wouldn't have been able to make such a choice.

Yoon Se-ah tried to persuade Sung JiHan a few more times, saying that she would go with him if he was going to escape.

"I can't choose to go together. I can be sure of that."

He was resolute.

"...Sigh, that damn sense. Alright, I got it. I'll persuade Uncle later. What about Dad?"

When Sung JiHan didn't come over, Yoon Se-ah asked about her father.

"Yoon Se-jin? I can't carry him."

"Why, why?"

Then, a strong killing intent rose in Mang-hon's eyes.

"In all of our lives, you died before me. Every time, I contacted Yoon Se-jin to come to the funeral, but... he mostly ignored my calls."

"Oh, that's because... Shizuru was there."

"I even went to Shizuru's house in person. In front of her house, I knocked on the door 221 times. I was lucky enough to meet Yoon Se-jin, but I was kicked out and beaten up 142 times before I died..."

"Uh, um... to that extent?"

"What I resented the most was not Dong Bang-sak, who killed me, but him and Shizuru."

Even now, Sung JiHan's Mang-hon, who had regained his sanity after being brainwashed, hated her and Yoon Se-jin more than anyone else.

Even if he had become sane now, it was unforgivable.

[...I don't have strong feelings about it. But given the circumstances, it's difficult to save that person. Before crossing the door of emptiness, the bell must be transformed, and it's not easy unless it's already somewhat progressed like Seo Ah.]

And Sung JiHan added, realistically stating that it is impossible to rescue him.

"No. Even leaving Dad behind... this is not right...

"Just leave him. Think of it as going on a trip. While you're in another world, defeat the Demon King and return."

"What kind of trip is going to another world! If we're going, we should all go together, or we should all die!"

When Yoon SeA heard that she should leave behind her father and uncle and run away with her mother, she showed a strong sense of resistance.

She sat at the dining table, crossed her arms, and closed her eyes.

In this state, she would never change her mind.

The three exchanged glances.

"It seems persuasion won't be easy."

"We might have to forcibly take her. I'll grab her by the collar."

"...If we're going to do that, let her stay longer. She'll have to undergo a species transformation."

While Yoon SeA couldn't hear them, the three discussed their opinions.

Sung JiHan showed doubt when he heard about the species transformation.

"...By the way, changing the bell. Does that mean you have to completely change into a different species from the human race?"

"Yes. The human race cannot cross the door of emptiness."

"Why?"

"The human race, along with a few others, are registered on the surveillance species list and are blocked. I don't know why."

Surveillance species.

Humans have become a newly inferior and weakened species, but why go to such lengths?

"When did that start? The surveillance species."

"Since humans first entered the BattleNet."

"Is that a common occurrence?"

"No, it's very rare. Especially for the lowest-ranked species."

Has the emptiness been paying attention to humans since they entered the BattleNet?

Sung JiHan thought about it for a moment and suddenly remembered the conversation he had with the Administrator.

The hand that almost convinced him that he was the Red Administrator.

At the time, he thought it was nonsense, but now he realized that understanding the Administrator's code was strange.

"Sister, come to think of it, do we have anything special in our bloodline?"

"Why?"

"I have the ability to see characters. And you also have the Divine Eye."

"As far as I know, there's nothing special. Our parents were ordinary people."

"Hmm. Is that so..."

Being able to see the code and bloodline don't seem to have much correlation.

While Sung JiHan was thinking about this,

"...I also investigated this matter. As my sister said, there was nothing special."

Mang Hon, who had been silently listening, spoke up.

"But... after entering the Taegeuk's Mang Hon, I felt like I knew something."

"What?"

"What's special is not our blood. It's the human race... itself."

The fact that the species itself is special.

Sung JiHan recalled his experience in the Seal.

"He said that because the human race doesn't have a set limit for evolution, the Dongbangsak came into existence."

With a fragile human body, the Dongbangsak possessed transcendent power.

How powerful his strength was, to the point where he wanted to burn the Divine Eye and go to another world, not wanting to become a warrior of the human race.

Could it be that Sung JiHan is a case that has surpassed the limits, just like Dong BangSak?

As Sung JiHan was lost in thought.

"Then, in two weeks. Carry out the mission. Come to my abyss."

"You said it would only take a week."

"I said that under the assumption that you would come with me. But since you've decided to stay, I need more time to prepare."

"Uh, Uncle, I really won't go! Running away like this alone... it's a top player's move!"

"A top player? Just slightly better than the average human. If you stay here, you'll only be a hindrance to him."

"Ugh..."

Yoon SeA couldn't come up with a proper rebuttal to Mang Hon's words.

Among the human players, she had already reached the top tier.

But in the battle Sung JiHan was about to face, there was a possibility that she would be more of a burden than a help.

"Then, let's meet in two weeks."

With those words.

Mang Hon and Sung JiAh slowly disappeared.

***

Three days later.

Sung JiHan was participating in a regular game match in the Star League.

In the defense map, Sung JiHan, in the state of Reverse Heaven and Earth, was single-handedly defeating monsters.

"Level up to level 1."

Seeing the level up message that appeared in the system window, he showed a satisfied expression.

"After three days of game matches, I finally reached level 1."

Unable to train due to burning the Sacred Flame at the Void Training Grounds, he had been continuously matching games and clearing dungeons whenever he had time, aiming for level 500.

But after three days of giving his all to level up, he only managed to reach level 1.

"It took me three days just to reach level 1..."

Sung JiHan swept away the monsters approaching him in the defense map, the 'Dragon Hatchery'.

"I destroyed about 50 dungeons yesterday... but my speed has slowed down recently. Is there anywhere I can level up faster?"

Sung JiHan opened the chat window, hoping that the alien viewers might have some ideas.

- What level are you? Complaining that you can't level up?

- Since it's the Star League, it should be between 450 and 500.

- If you went up 1 level in 3 days at that level, that's already really fast...

- It's not fast, it's just insane speed.

- Is that a lie? Are you bragging that you level up fast?

- Ha, I've been level 455 for a year... I hate it, I'm leaving.

The alien viewers, not understanding Sung JiHan's sincerity, started pressing the dislike button in real-time.

"I've already achieved a lot of dislike achievements."

When Sung JiHan retorted, the dislikes increased even more.

- Look at these aliens being jealous ㅉㅉ Why should the speed of your level up be the same as Sung JiHan's?

- For real, he's a talent that even the administrators are paying attention to.

- I can't give any tips because there's no human player who has become a super high level like him...

- Sung JiHan, by the way, why isn't Yoon SeA streaming these days?

- For real, she used to stream all the time.

- Could it be that she's in a relationship?

While the human viewers defended with likes.

Some of them asked why Yoon Se-ah doesn't play Battle Tube these days.

"Do you still not play Battle Tube? Se-ah is not in a relationship. I guess she's just thinking about something complicated these days."

Because of the escape from this world, Yoon Se-ah was holed up in her room without playing games.

She probably needs some time to think alone.

"In fact, no matter what conclusion Se-ah comes to, she will be stained with the blood of the reverse heaven."

Even if it's my nephew, I have to take him out of the curse of infinite regression.

Sung JiHan decided to go one way this time and continued to eliminate the monsters that attacked.

At the back of the slaughtered monsters.

"To come this far, you must be quite powerful, the guardian of the blue dragon!"

A huge black dragon roared with dignity as it looked at Sung JiHan.

"Even if I catch that, I won't be able to level up."

The black dragon looked strong at first glance.

But in Sung JiHan's eyes, he was just a monster who couldn't even raise his experience points by 10 percent.

I should finish this quickly and go back to the dungeon.

While Sung JiHan was thinking that.

"It's a shame to waste your talent. Will you not become my guardian? I will give you treasures of gold and silver, as well as dazzling rewards like a mountain."

The black dragon tried to persuade Sung JiHan.

"Never mind the money. Can you give me experience points?"

"Experience points... Is it the acquisition of experience through battles with enemies? Haha. If you become my ally, you can fight what you have protected!"

While that was happening, a message appeared.

"Do you want to proceed with the 'Hidden Quest - Persuasion of the Black Dragon'?"

"If you accept the quest, you will become hostile to the players who were on the same team."

Already defeated all the enemy generals and only the boss remained.

In addition, powerful players from the Star League and the guardians of the Blue Dragon were also included in the defense camp.

Unless there was a significant difference in power, turning the sword back was nothing short of suicide.

"Oh, great."

For the sake of experience points, Sung JiHan willingly betrayed the defense team.

"Really? Will you really become my ally?"

"Hey, you stay here. I'll take care of it myself."

Sung JiHan left the bewildered black dragon behind.

And he rushed back to the original ally camp.

-Wow, look at him betraying right away lololololol

-He's crazy about experience points.

-I didn't really care about leveling up that much...

-What's going on?

Ignoring the viewers' questions, Sung JiHan destroyed both camps alone.

"And still, I'm not leveling up."

As the level up message didn't appear, he lost his appetite.

At this rate, it's impossible to reach 500 within two weeks.

"I guess I'll have to go back to the dungeon again."

As he was thinking that, about to log out.

"Uzusu Egrasil asks if you need experience points urgently."

"Egrasil proposes to provide you with experience points."

In front of Sung JiHan, a message from Egrasil popped up.
