EP.30 First Regional Confrontation A.O.Z

At this time, a group was moving forward with conflict on the outskirts of Jungnang-gu.

They were all people who would have lived ordinary lives in society.

But since the Desire League began, they had become more realistic, or crueler, than anyone else.

Their leader was Kim Jong-seok, a three-time ex-convict and con artist.

Jong-seok originally grew up in unfortunate circumstances.

An alcoholic, gambling-addicted father.

A prostitute mother with sex addiction.

To those who didn't know him, he seemed like the kind of person they'd think "Ah, we should add a pitiful criminal narrative created by society."

The fact that he had a quite useful awakened ability.

It might mean a paradox of poetic justice.

'I'll be the ultimate dark horse. If everyone else dies but I survive, that's victory!'

It's nice to say they gathered as a group.

Jong-seok only cared about himself.

That's the kind of person he was from the start.

Of course, he also lacked the ambition to handle members with many complaints.

"I even sacrificed my younger sibling because of you! This is too much!"

"Who told you to sacrifice them? Did I threaten you with a knife?"

"You fucking bastard, give me the item you promised me first!"

"...You bastard. Did we sign a contract? Why are you bitching at me?"

"Fuck!"

The other person was about to take out a weapon and attack in earnest.

Jong-seok was relaxed. This is what he had been aiming for.

[Full Body Paralysis]

Jong-seok's body glowed slightly.

The attacker stopped as if lying. Jong-seok approached him.

"Shall I copy your skill?"

As soon as he reached out his hand, Jong-seok glowed red. He immediately activated the skill.

[Soul Out]

The paralyzed opponent's upper body heaved as he lost his mind.

Jong-seok slit his throat with a knife and finished him off.

This was Kim Jong-seok's awakened ability.

No matter what ability the opponent had, he copied their best skill.

The rest of the members were afraid.

"Now, is there anyone else with complaints?"

With a face splattered with blood, Jong-seok smiled and licked his lips.

***

As soon as I woke up in the morning, I had a light meal.

I held So-eun's hand and went out.

I sent out a message to gather.

Several notifications popped up on the way.

[All people in Nowon-gu area have formed groups.]

[Sending specific location coordinates.]

[Please gather at the location of the coordinates within an hour.]

If we don't gather, the Celestial Horse Demon King will punish us.

I smiled thinking the time had come.

Just then, I saw the community center nearby as we were passing. That place should be relatively safe to do this.

"So-eun, let's go over there for a moment."

"Okay!"

She answers well even though it's awkward.

I entered the community center and opened the shop window.

'What should I give So-eun to make her cling to me thinking I gave her something good.'

After thinking, I bought one item.

This made me almost broke in terms of points. But I felt good of course.

I looked around to give it to So-eun and was surprised. So-eun was gone.

As I was about to look for her, So-eun appeared right away.

"Don't go anywhere. It's dangerous."

"Guuu! Go, let's go."

"Did you see the quest?"

"Uung!"

So-eun cutely pointed at the air.

She was really admirable.

"We're going to fight from now on. We're going to where our friends are now, so keep that in mind."

"Uung!"

We arrived at Gonghe Station near the one-room building where our companions were waiting.

Everyone was waiting.

Just then a notification popped up.

It must be the quest clear notification.

But this quest reward was interesting.

[Your current one-time buff will become permanent!]

Is this what they meant by giving a random permanent buff?

Well, it's good for me. It's an ability to easily gain favor from others in this situation.

As always, Sol-ji spoke up.

"Ah, why are you here now?"

"Why? Did something happen?"

"J-just...!"

"Shut up then."

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

I passed by Sol-ji and looked for Jong-mi.

Surprisingly, she was separated from Seok-do.

'Look at this?'

They were originally dating.

Seok-do became an undead after dying so his emotions were suppressed, but.

Why is Jong-mi separated?

Is it the effect of erosion after all.

She's not even glancing at Seok-do.

As I smiled looking at Jong-mi, she widened her eyes.

"What are you grinning at? Are you mentally ill?"

"Take this."

"Huh? What is it?"

"You know how to handle it, right? It's an item so you should be able to handle it anyway."

I gave her the item I bought yesterday.

It was a gun.

Jong-mi looked at the gun and was flustered.

It's an unexpected gift so of course.

"Crazy... What is this? Depending on the situation, it changes performance to an assault rifle or anti-materiel sniper rifle?"

"Use it well."

"...Don't take it back later?"

"I don't take back things I've given so don't worry. Anyway, gather around! I have something to tell you."

Since there seemed to be some time left. I explained about this game.

When I talked about LoL, Seok-do nodded.

"I remember. LoL, T1 Faker is a living legend."

But the others seemed to barely understand.

Then a notification popped up in mid-air.

[The game zone that completed gathering first will start!]

[Welcome. The regional confrontation A.O.Z will begin soon!]

So-eun pulled on my arm.

"Uu, u."

"Hm?"

So-eun pointed to one place. Meanwhile, Sol-ji clicked her tongue.

"What's with her?"

"The fifth member. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a sixth man."

"Is she normal?"

"Stronger than you."

"Tsk...!"

I looked where So-eun was pointing.

Five people were visible across the wide bridge.

Soon Star appeared in mid-air.

"Thank you, nice to meet you! Now I'll explain the game and rules! The game is Ace of Zone. Two groups of five people each compete for hegemony of the game zone!"

"How exactly?"

Star smirked at Jong-mi's cold question.

"Everyone, you know the game LoL, right? You just need to defend your designated positions according to your roles. Minions will appear at regular intervals, and if you kill them you can get experience and money."

"Experience?"

"Please note that it's game level that increases, not your original level!"

"Just explain the important parts."

"Okay! Kill the enemy players you see now. You win if you kill them all, or if more survivors remain after 1 hour passes! The designated game zone locations will be transmitted to each of you as a minimap concept!"

"Anything else?"

"If you think of your allies, you can talk to each other like a voice call! Amazing, right? Kiki."

It was concise.

But it was interesting. A voice call?

Celestial Horse Demon King, how serious are you about games?

I wish I could see your face just once.

'I wonder if I've already seen it without realizing.'

I was about to send Star away. It's not a face I want to see more of.

"I'll handle the rest. Go."

"Okay, then!"

Soon the surrounding area popped up like a minimap.

"Everyone checked, right?"

"Mmm..."

"I'll assign positions. First, Seok-do, you're top. Top is the road from the northern arterial road to here."

"Yes, Predator-nim."

"So-eun, you're mid."

"Jeoa!"

What's left are Jong-mi and Sol-ji.

These two are actually worrying.

"Jong-mi and Sol-ji, you're ADC and support."

Jong-mi just shrugged her shoulders.

On the other hand, Sol-ji was shocked.

"No, wait. Me as support? Wait, what are you telling me to do?"

"Find out yourself. Some advice, this isn't a game but reality. Secure vision and protect the ADC. Even if you die."

"Ugh!"

"I'm jungle. I'll roam around and kill enemy laners or look for ganks, so everyone respond well."

"Hmph, you do well yourself."

That Ye Jong-mi, always snarky.

I should give her an all-day mating press or lifting fuck sometime.

So-eun glared at Jong-mi as if trying to protect me.

I headed towards the enemy group we saw earlier. Should I issue a challenge?

A large river called Ukdong flowed between us.

Of course, it was very shallow though wide in area. There were many places where it had dried up and exposed dirt mounds.

Ukdong Bridge, this was the mid position.

The bottom lane was Gu-ukdong Bridge, a bridge a bit further away.

The enemy leader smiled warmly.

"Nice to meet you! Looks like we'll be facing each other? Hoho."

"Seems so."

"Haha, shall we introduce ourselves?"

I called Sol-ji quietly.

Sol-ji pointed at herself then quickly ran over.

"Hey."

"Whaat...?"

"Try cursing."

"No, Jong-mi is here too, why me?"

"Hurry. Establish dominance, establish dominance."

Sol-ji frowned then sighed. Soon she shouted.

"Hey you fucking bastards, get lost! What introductions with your fucking ugly faces?!"

The enemy leader was flustered. The guys behind him also whispered to each other.

This is a masterpiece, a masterpiece.

"As you can see, we're not planning to take it easy. So let's skip the introductions."

"That goes for us too, but let's do this."

[Go to your respective lanes and standby.]

[The game will start right away!]

I turned to my companions and said.

"Then everyone try to survive well on your own."

I went to an awkward place. Specifically, the hill road between mid and bottom.

It was a place overlooking the river.

'This is a game, but not LoL. There are no buffs to eat, and movement is somewhat restricted with the river in between. Plus there are many obstructions like buildings around.'

The Ukdong River was shallow so there was no problem with passage, but the problem was being exposed during that time.

'Therefore, it must be quick and decisive.'

[Game start!]

[GG, GL, HF!]

I immediately ran towards the enemy territory, the hill road on the Jungnang-gu side.

I went down the hill road and turned my head.

Minions were coming out in lines on both lanes and heading to the opposite side.

They were all slowly walking zombies, but I saw a familiar face.

It was the security guard ajussi.

'Are they recycling the dead as minions? What taste.'

I sighed and tried to cross the river.

[Freezing Wave]

Suddenly a blue beam touched my body. A cold beam flew sharply.

I hurriedly stepped back.

The enemy mid had thrown a harass skill.

Did I try to go too obviously?

"Kyaaak!"

So-eun got excited and tried to rush in.

No good. The enemy jungle might be hiding.

I thought of So-eun and conveyed words.

"So-eun, don't get excited. You focus on killing minions well to level up first. You have the weapon I gave you, right? That's a holy sword. Use it well, and dodge quickly since you're good at harassing the enemy."

-Uung!

I smiled and activated my shadow ability.

I arrived at the Jungnang-gu hill road in an instant.

As I was about to go up, someone came out slightly from between buildings.

It was that leader from earlier. Is he the jungler? Doesn't seem to suit him.

"Just a moment, shall we make a deal?"

"A deal?"

The guy smiled.

As if this situation had nothing to do with him.

"Yes, we're both doing this to survive, right? But we only have one life."

"So what?"

"Let's survive, just the two of us."

"You mean betray my teammates?"

"They're strangers you didn't know from the start anyway, right? In a situation where it's hard enough to keep my own life. What do you think? There's a way for us to survive together?"

This is a fresh situation. What is it?
