Recognizing the player, a group of goblins rushed towards Do-hyun. Each goblin was holding a hatchet. It was made of cheap cheap iron mixed with a lot of impurities. It was a clumsy hatchet that made me laugh, but when the number reached dozens, it was terrifying. Just watching a monster with a weapon rushing in, novice players often stiffened their bodies. Even if it’s a low-level monster, if you form a group, you will have power. However, even though this was the first time he had encountered a monster, Dohyun was watching the goblins calmly. It’s as if you’ve been through a lot of this situation. Dohyun’s eyes were looking straight at the goblins. And the muscles of his body were maintaining moderate tension. He was ready to move flexibly at any time. Like a signal shot, the goblin’s hatchet flew toward Dohyun. swish! However, Do-hyeon avoided it with minimal movements. The goblin panicked when the attack of conversion emptily cut through the air. And that became the last thought and feeling the goblin had. Scratch! A sharp sword cut off the goblin’s head. The goblin’s green blood gushed out. Another goblin appeared behind his decapitated goblin.

Aaaaah! Screaming, the goblin slashed his hatchet. But it was then. The ax blade and the wooden hilt were separated from the hatchet that had been struck. The ax blade rotated like a boomerang and flew toward Dohyun. Dohyun saw it. The attacking goblin grabbed only the tree trunk and made a stupid expression. It was an accident because the hatchet was too flimsy.

‘You crazy?’ Dohyun hurriedly bowed down. The rotating ax blade flew through Dohyun’s hair and crashed into the Tower of Trials. cuckoo! At that time, it was a system message that flashed through Dohyun’s head.

<In a major case, the probability of death of a ‘level 5 extra’ is 99%.>

‘This is not an accident.’

The unfortunate death of the extras would come out like this in the future. The bone was shriveled. I felt a cold sweat running down my back. It wasn’t difficult to deal with the monster itself. However, it hurt my head to think that such unfortunate things would happen more often in the future.

‘No, first of all, fighting comes first.’

Dohyun shook his head to shake off his thoughts. In front of him, he saw a goblin rushing towards the defenses the soldiers had built. Do-hyun quickly ran forward to him. And he quickly drew his sword and aimed it at the goblin’s neck. Whoops! And he cut the sword stuck in his neck diagonally. The goblin collapsed forward on the spot. He kept an indifferent expression on his face, but Do-hyon’s heart was not. He couldn’t believe what he had done. The sensations in his body were as sharp as the sharp blades that had just been grinded on a whetstone. It was the first feeling in my life. With every breath he exhaled, he felt the vividness of the battle. The bristle hairs on his skin gave him a sensitive sensation.

“You can just cut it one by one while keeping them in check.’

Slash! Do-hyun turned around and cut off the head of the next goblin. It was a simple movement, as if cutting grass. As his comrades died one after another, several goblins rushed to Do-hyun at the same time. A swarm of goblins and Do-hyun got tangled up in an instant. But it didn’t look like a deadly battle at all. Every time Do-hyon’s sword flashed, the goblin’s vicious head or hand holding the hatchet was scattered in the air with green blood. Goblin corpses were scattered all over the floor. There were no more living goblins. Even so, Do-hyun didn’t put a drop of blood on it. This was not a battle. It was just a one-sided massacre.

<You have successfully completed the event ‘Goblin Judge’>

<The Tower of Trials grants the player the qualifications to enter the tower>

<You have acquired the title ‘Those recognized by the tower’>

<The player Until the Tower of Trials is attacked in the future, you can freely go back and forth between the towers.>

“It’s working!”

Do-hyun smiled with a smile of conversion. The title was like a ticket to the tower, so it wasn’t that important. The most important thing is that he confirmed the simulation effect of the skill ‘Original’s Papyrus’. He had never fought with a sword before, so he could face real monsters himself. It was only a few dozen goblins, a low-level monster, but it was a satisfactory result for a first attempt. Do-hyon was able to engage in battle without any fear. It was thanks to the fact that the thoughts, emotions, and experiences of the dolls who had fought numerous battles with the goblins in the papyrus were conveyed to Do-hyon. His physical abilities, such as stamina and strength, were somewhat lacking. However, the battle experience accumulated through simulation was enormous enough to make up for the lack.

“With this, I can deal with even more monsters.’

Power entered Do-hyun’s hand holding the sword. The first day I realized that I had entered the world of Dungeons. Do-hyun wrote a novel full of strong characters, and he resented himself. It was even more so because he entered the body of an extra who died after getting caught up in the main character’s battle. But now, that wasn’t the case. No matter what happened, she felt a little confident that she would be able to get through it.

‘Ah, but the 99% chance of death is a little… … .’ When I think of the moment when the axe blade flew, I got chills again. Do-hyon left the goblin’s corpse and other thoughts behind and headed to the tower.

click!

As if they had just returned, the reporters were constantly firing their camera flashes. Do-hyun suddenly stopped walking. Is it now time to let the world know that the foolishness of the non-cheonsei generation has changed?

‘no. Not yet.’ But Do-hyun had no intention of doing that at all. People’s prejudice against Lee Do-hyun was still useful. Do-hyon wiped his face with his hand. He felt a foreign hard texture, not his skin. At the same time, item information appeared.

<Mask of Illusion>

Grade: Advanced

– A mask created by a wizard to hide his hideous appearance.

– Wearing this mask you are blurred not only by people around you but also by video media, and the voice is modulated.

‘It’s pretty useful.’ This was the last of the three things Do-hyon asked for from Lee Cheol-joon a while ago. welcome mask. This was an item frequently used by players who wanted to do something suspicious in the dungeon while hiding their identity. This meant that it was often used in various crimes such as murder and robbery. The public as well as the players were negative about the player wearing this mask. The player wearing the illusion mask is more likely to be a criminal. However, Do-hyon accepted such public opinion and wore the mask of welcome. One of the reporters who noticed this exclaimed:

“Isn’t that a mask of illusion?”

“What? Does the mask of illusion make your face look like that?”

Then there was a buzz around. So far, there has never been a person wearing a welcome mask openly appearing in front of reporters. Reporters pressed the camera shutters over and over again. Do-hyun glanced at the scene and turned around. At the same time, the public’s gaze, which had been focused on Lee Do-hyon of Mu cheon family, would be disturbed. That was Do-hyeon’s goal. He intended to hide himself behind a dark veil.

◀【Popular Real-Time Videos】▶ 1st place.

Tower of Trials, another entrant appears! 2nd place. The identity of the red player who broke through the impregnable entry quest?! 3rd place. Does the tower of trials and dungeons that everyone enters except me discriminate against people? 4th place. Red Player, Goblin Yanghak Fancam.

“Oh my gosh… Now even the red players are setting up for the media.”

A middle-aged man clicked his tongue while browsing video sites on his smartphone. Then he lit the cigarette he was biting. He was terrified that the ‘Red Player’ entered the Tower of Trials. Who are these red players? They were the ones who committed various crimes by exploiting the fact that it was difficult to reach the public authorities inside the dungeon. And since most of the red players use illusion masks, it was difficult to identify them.

“Who the hell made a mask of illusion?” A middle-aged man, Park Chul-woo, continued to grumble. The red player was everyone’s enemy. Just because he wore a phantom mask doesn’t mean he can’t convict the player in the video. However, it is true that most of the people who wear the illusion mask are backwards. Just wearing the illusion mask was enough to be a threat to other players. So, I had no choice but to annoy Park Chul-woo’s nerves. He was now a player scout for both Legion and Sega, but in the past he was a player too. He, of course, had no choice but to support a decent player. Park Cheol-woo brushed the cigarette ashes out of the ashtray with a displeased face.

“Hey, do you have this much to deal with? There aren’t any good kids these days.”

“But we have to keep finding promising players.”

“Promising star? What are you looking for when there’s only a bunch of dungeons or rookies out there? In our time.”

“Yes, yes, you weren’t like that when you were a senior. I’ve heard it hundreds of times.”

The junior put the papers he was holding down on the desk. Then, he intercepted Park Chul-woo’s next words. Chul-Woo Park had nothing to say, so he coughed heavily. Even though he had a thick face, it was embarrassing.

“So? Did you get any updates on the Tower of Trials?”

“So far, it’s not much different than the information from the previous update.”

The junior glanced at the documents he was holding and responded.

“The leader in the Tower of Trials is still the successor of the Cho clan. Dan Eun-seol of the Black Stone Corps is closely following him. And the rest are still there. It’s up and down.”

“Still?”

“yes. It seems that it is quite difficult for everyone to move on to the next level.”

At that, Chul-Woo Park snorted. The players who entered the Tower of Trials were prospects selected from each corps and Sega. So, even when doing the entrance quest, I was able to move with the experienced players as a backup. ‘I hope I will not be overtaken by such a criminal bastard.’ Although a retired player, Chul-Woo Park was one of the best scouts in the industry. He was confident that he would be second to none as far as the eye could see. So he suddenly became anxious. It was because he had seen a video of the unidentified player facing a number of goblins. It was not a battle that could be waged by a prospect that was carefully nurtured like the corps and Sega were choosing the stones. It was a battle that could only be seen by those who finally survived dozens or hundreds of battles that risked life or death. Park Cheol-woo furrowed his eyebrows as if displeased. It was kind of disgusting to see a player below level 10 showing such skill.

“Hey, maybe?”

He struggled to ignore the ominous premonition that suddenly passed him.

Is it possible that the player who just appeared will defeat the sons of the Legion and Sega, who have been regarded as promising prospects all along?

It’s all just useless worries.

He thought so.
