After returning, He became the greatest returner of all time.

Episode 9

Episode 9: I was lucky (3)

“Stop talking nonsense and try again.”

Kim Gyu-seon played the video, trying hard to control his expression that was crumpled like a piece of paper.

Because it was obvious that Oh Woon-hyeok would intercept his achievements.

“Wow, f*ck. This is fucking awesome.”

Not long after the video begins, Oh Woon-hyeok’s eyes grow wide.

“He doesn’t have a guild?”

“… … I still have to check-.”

“You were watching the video without even checking it?”

“I confirmed that there is no contracted guild. I haven’t heard it directly from him yet… … .”

Kim Gyu-seon trailed off.

I tried to roughly break it down, but it didn’t work.

Although his personality is trash, he is not a completely senseless person, so he would have noticed right away that this swordsman was a big fish.

“What are you doing? Call me right now and make an appointment. If you miss it, you’re screwed.”

What? What are you doing?

That bastard is still very young!

“……yes.”

Kim Gyu-seon picked up the phone, suppressing his rising anger.

These days, because of this kid, I reach a state of liberation several times a day.

(hello.)

When Lee Geum-shin answered the phone, Kim Gyu-seon’s expression quickly relaxed and he opened his mouth in a friendly tone.

“Hello. My name is Scout Kim Gyu-seon from the Blue Bear Guild. Would you like to speak to me for a moment?”

(Which guild?)

“This is the Blue Bear Guild. Among the mountains and rivers of Changwol-.”

Stop.

“hello?”

Kim Gyu-seon looked down at his smartphone with a puzzled face.

What the heck? Did you think it was a spam call?

I guess so.

The Blue Bear Guild is located in the mountains of Changwol.

In other words, it means a guild that serves as the gateway to Changwol.

For a player like Lee Geum-shin who has nothing but a hundred swords, this is a dream-like opportunity.

“What are you doing?”

As Oh Woon-hyeok, who was watching from behind, twisted his eyebrows, Kim Gyu-seon picked up his smartphone.

“It suddenly got cut off… … .”

“Then try again!”

“yes!”

I was going to do it anyway, kid!

(hello.)

“Haha. You thought it was a spam call, I’m really from the Blue Bear Guild-.”

(I have no intention of joining.)

“Yes? Have you joined another guild by any chance?”

Maybe you could join a huge guild like Hwangryong or Seonggwanghoe.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have come out like this.

It’s not another guild, it’s under Changwol!

(How did you get my number?)

“It’s the strength of our Blue Bear Guild. If it hasn’t been confirmed with another place yet, I’d like to meet you in person-.”

(No, I don’t think so-.)

Oh Woon-hyeok snatched the smartphone from Kim Gyu-seon’s ear.

“Hello. I am Oh Woon-hyeok, the leader of the Blue Bear Guild Human Resources Development Team. Yes. Where are you now? We will send someone for you.”

Kim Gyu-seon snorted inwardly as he watched Oh Woon-hyeok continue the call.

I wonder if it would be any different if he did it himself.

That’s nonsense.

Because the only thing he knows how to do is flirt with women and drink alcohol.

But what is it?

Why is it different?

“Ah, the Kobold Dungeon. Then I will send you there right away. We will discuss the details when we meet.”

Even just listening in, the conversation seemed to be going smoothly.

It was an extremely unfair thing for Kim Gyu-seon.

After a while, Oh Woon-hyeok hung up the phone and threw his smartphone at him with a blank expression.

“Can’t you even make a proper phone call?”

“Are we meeting up?”

Kim Gyu-seon, who barely managed to pick up the smartphone, asked with a bewildered face. Lee Geum-shin’s voice had clearly been firm when they had talked on the phone just a moment ago.

It seemed like he had no intention of even talking.

A person like that changes his opinion as if he were turning over the palm of his hand?

Why on earth?

“Then what are you trying to do? Are you lying down and calling that a question?”

“… … .”

Anyway, I told you from the beginning that you were a fucking piece of shit.

“Since we’re meeting today, you better prepare the contract properly.”

Oh Woon-hyeok turned around with a pitiful look in his eyes and walked to his seat, picking up his smartphone.

“Oh, Director Kim.”

Oh Woon-hyeok also heard the entire conversation between Kim Gyu-seon and Lee Geom-sin.

I don’t know exactly why Leegeomshin suddenly changed his attitude, but it’s true that he seemed uninterested in joining the guild.

Maybe he’s just relying on his talent and being arrogant.

Shouldn’t we personally teach this fool the necessity of joining a guild?

“Okay. I don’t mind killing you, just make sure you understand the topic.”

* * *

“Oh Woon-hyeok… … .”

After finishing the call, I chewed over the name.

The last face of the guy I had met at the official residence lingered before my eyes.

‘It must have been quite fun since things went as planned, right?’

I could clearly see how relieved I would be to be abandoned in a ruined world with my limbs cut off.

Because I know him better than anyone.

A lump of inferiority complex that does not care about the means and methods to achieve its goals.

Oh Woon-hyeok was that kind of person.

●: Let’s give him a proper beating this time!

That’s right.

There are also many things to pay back.

But the reason the corners of my mouth went up wasn’t because I could get revenge on him.

Because my anger won’t be relieved by beating up an ignorant fool.

I was looking at the window through the guy.

Oh Woon-hyeok’s existence is the tail of Changwol.

The bad relationship with that guy will be a very good foundation and link that can reach Changwol’s breathing space.

So I was thinking.

‘I was very lucky.’

But how did he know my number?

The moment I had a question, a memory suddenly came to mind.

[Opportunity has no back of the head!!]

It was a message sent by Kim Ji-yu this morning.

I was wondering what was going on, but it seemed like Jiyu Kim was stuck in the middle.

I don’t know how I got connected with the Blue Bear Guild, but it must have been for my benefit.

The situation is roughly outlined.

It was an unexpected variable, but it didn’t matter.

‘It’s actually better.’

That doesn’t mean there’s any need to change the plan you’ve made.

I just have to move according to my intention.

Then Oh Woon-hyeok will come and offer his neck with his own feet.

After that, after resting for about an hour, we continued hunting.

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

A player scratched his head and handed me an apple.

That’s why I killed a kobold from a group I was hunting.

“it’s okay.”

I gladly accepted the apple.

There are implicit rules between players in dungeons.

In Newer, steel is an obvious act of bad manners.

Still, if it was a mistake, it’s right to accept the apology.

The problem is that he doesn’t seem sorry at all.

The way he smiled broadly didn’t seem like a mistake.

As expected, the guy and his three companions started circling around me and stealing the kobolds.

At first, they would just hang around and make a fuss, but at some point, they started blatantly interfering with the hunting.

“Is the Cobalt X delicious today?”

“This is really great. My wisdom teeth are going to rot.”

“As expected, stealing is so sweet.”

Because of those guys, I couldn’t speed up. They were following me and killing the kobolds I was supposed to hunt.

This was a clear case of arguing.

“Could you please have some manners?”

I gave them a kind warning, even though I knew they wouldn’t listen to me.

But the response I got back was like this.

​

“What manners?”

“What are you talking about manners in a dungeon?”

“Are you full of shit in your head?”

“Go John X, you piece of shit.”

“If you don’t like it, report it to the association.”

​

Of course, nothing will change even if you report it.

Even if they come from the association, they’ll just give a warning and that’ll be the end of it.

That’s why almost all players join a guild.

Because protecting players’ rights is also a major role of the guild.

●: Can you give me some information about them?

The Earth smiled broadly and raised the corners of its lips.

●: You know that dirty guy under Oh Woon-hyeok? Director Kim.

Of course I know.

Oh Woon-hyeok’s faithful dog.

A person who barks when told to bark, and even pretends to die when told to die.

●: These are the guys who worked under that kid at the time. They are typical parasites who cling to those in power.

The Earth was telling of their past lives.

Thanks to you, I also gained confidence.

Given the circumstances, it seemed like Oh Woon-hyeok had sent it.

I guess it’s through these people that I feel the need to join a guild.

The corners of my mouth naturally go up.

‘I knew this would happen.’

As expected, it’s Oh Woon-hyeok.

I said it couldn’t go beyond my expectations.

Didn’t I tell you?

If I stay still, he’ll come and cut my throat with his own feet.

This gave me a lot of good ideas to use as an excuse to bite the guy’s neck.

“Oh, sorry.”

I came to my senses from my deep thoughts and put away my sword. After a moment of thinking about something else, I realized it was a kobold.

“I must have mistaken you because you were so ugly.”

One player was disappearing into the light.

“This X -footed baby!”

​

The kobolds who lost their party members become angry and rush in.

I readied my sword to face them.

“You’re screwed!”

I quickly scanned the three guys rushing at me at once.

One held a spear, and two held swords.

Sigh!

First, a long-range spear was shot at my chest. I deflected it with my sword.

Kyaang!

The moment the blade touched the spear, the spear bounced off with great force. The spear that bounced off like that ended up blocking the path of the same side. That was what was aimed for.

I stopped the two guys in their tracks with one blow, then swung my sword at the guy rushing in from the right.

Even though the enemy’s sword clearly struck me first, a blurry trajectory snake-like and slit the enemy’s neck.

Phew!

Their swordsmanship was no different to that of a child to me. It was that easy to cut through the weaknesses of those who had neither the will nor the power to use their swords.

It was also thanks to my previous all-in on strength and agility stats.

“… … What, what is it?”

The two guys who lost their comrades in an instant are momentarily at a loss.

“Isn’t that kid obsessed with agility?”

He seemed embarrassed.

The speed I just showed you felt that fast.

That wasn’t a wrong statement. In fact, I poured all 10 points of the main quest reward into agility.

But the guy holding the spear came forward to deny that opinion.

“no.”

​

He frowns and rubs my wrist.

“I almost missed the window. F*ck. I think that kid’s got some really bad items on him.”

“F*ck. Were you born with a silver spoon in your mouth?”

The attitude of the two becomes much more cautious than before.

The strength and speed I just showed were not those of a typical 1-star player.

This is proof that the value of stats obtained through hidden quests is that high, and it also shows that the strategy of focusing stats on strength and agility is working well.

The effect of the stats would be greater for those who don’t have the ability to gauge my level.

I ridiculed them for their nervous attitude, unlike before.

“Are you scared?”

To provoke.

Thanks to going all-in on strength and agility, you’re seeing significant gains in attack power and speed, but because of that, your stamina and magic power consumption is bound to be relatively fast.

In short, the fuel efficiency is crap.

So for me, a quick decision was not a choice but a necessity.

As there are clear advantages, there are also clear disadvantages.

“If you don’t come, I’ll go.”

I kicked the ground straight away.

The first target was the guy holding the spear.

That’s because he’s more nervous than the guy next to him because he’s directly collided with me.

“Put the pressure down!”

I ran with all my might.

The guy who was really nervous about it swung his spear with all his might. Rather than confronting it head on, I just let it slide by.

“!!”

For a moment, the guy’s pupils dilate.

I expected a strong collision, but it was so disconcerting that it scattered like feathers.

Thanks to that, I was able to smoothly enter the gap and stab the guy in the heart with my sword in one breath.

The spirit was fishing for this.

“Get out of here, kid!”

As the guy was foaming at the mouth, another guy’s sword fell from behind him.

I released the sword stuck in the enemy’s chest and spun horizontally.

Swish!

The enemy’s sword fell past me by a hair’s breadth.

I turned around, took out the dagger from my inventory, and stabbed the enemy in the back of the neck.

Kwajik!

The guy collapsed without even letting out a scream. Then, everything disappeared into a cloud of light.

He literally took care of four players in an instant.

It didn’t take long to deal with the rascals.

● : Purrrrrrr! They look so good! Those damn bastards!

The Earth was happily holding on to the Southern Hemisphere.

I wonder if it really is that good.

I feel relieved too.

‘I think it will be a good gift.’

​

Oh Woon-hyeok’s face, distorted with ferocity, was already vivid before my eyes.
