I Login Alone

Chapter 62



Episode 62.

[Hu…man! Human!]

“Yes, I am human.”

As per Jung Si-woo’s experience, every monster was different in size, mana, intelligence, and attack patterns. However, the monsters gathered around the temple had low intelligence. He said everything he had to say. Those monsters looked more foolish than a zombie that moved only by using its obsession as its driving force.

[Gooooooooooak!]

[Hu…maaaaaaan]

“It is a human!”

It was comfortable that he didn’t need to move much. The monsters were so obsessed with Jung Si-woo and Lee Seo-hee that they charged at them. Jung Si-woo waited for the monsters to show their teeth and come near to him so he could kill all of them.

“Hah…Ha! Hat!”

[Kkag!]

[Kiheeek!]

Both of his fists stretched, slicing through the air and harvesting the target. It was so cool and funny to see the monster’s head explode and collapse when they rushed to bite Jung Si-woo’s neck. Lee Seo-hee was waiting to shoot magic with her arms outstretched, worried that the non-player Jung Si-woo couldn’t manage to kill the monsters. But she took no action because the hundred-plus monsters gathered there were eventually wiped out.

[Kiheeeee! Hu, human!]

[Humaaaaaan!]

“Yeah, yeah, you’ve been waiting for too long, haven’t you?”

[Kkugeg!]

Among the monsters, the walking lizards were quite strong. It was the result of judging by ‘how much their body could preserve its original form after being hit by Jung Si-woo’s fist.’ The strange thing was that after he killed them, gold light popped out of their body and was sucked into the pattern on the back of Jung Si-woo’s left hand.

[Soul collection skill has become Lv4. 18 souls in possession]

“Hmm…”

When Jung Si-woo was rubbing the back of his hand and tilting his head, Lee Seo-hee came to him and retrieved the mana. Just by looking at her round eyes, he could tell how surprised she was.

“Si-woo, what the hell…sigh.”

Lee Seo-hee had countless things she wanted to ask him, but she hung her shoulders and said this instead.

“Are you hurt?”

“I’m fine.”

“You seem fine.”

Yeah, come to think of it, she knew about Jung Si-woo’s power, but she didn’t have the chance to see him go all out. She knew he liked sports and mastered several martial arts, but she didn’t know he had the guts to use his fist against such horrible-looking monsters. If he had this ability before, there was no question that he would be a player. There was no one else that suited the title. But was it really okay to make this man a player? He was already a monster. How much stronger would he become when he was a player?

It was Lee Seo-hee who felt vain about her time in the dungeon since she became a player, but at the same time, it was also true that she was looking forward to seeing how strong Jung Si-woo was.

‘I don’t want to see Si-woo disappointed and despairing at himself again. What’s more…ummm.’

Lee Seo-hee shook her head to shake off her thoughts. Anyway, everything was okay, even if Jung Si-woo became a player. She smiled bitterly at Jung Si-woo, who was yawning while wiping his fist with a wet tissue.

“The bodies of monsters hunted in the outside world are treated as new materials and traded at high prices, so make sure you take care of whatever you hunt. The strong ones that have a crystal called the mana stone are more expensive. This is a little bit of advanced information… it’s a secret, but we got one after killing the Guardian who was protecting the temple.”

However, since she was busy with other things, Lee Seo-hee retrieved the bodies, put them into her inventory, and would later dispose of them. Jung Si-woo already knew that the monsters didn’t have mana stones, and he wasn’t interested in the monster’s body, which wasn’t very high-level, but he didn’t say anything because he thought each and every resource would mean something to Lee Seo-hee, who ran a guild.

“Then let’s go in.”

“Guild Master!”

Lee Seo-hee froze when she tried to enter the barrier with Jung Si-woo. Looking back with her eyebrows raised, she faced five people, some of her guild members, staring at her with faces scarier than hers. The spring breeze-like smile that was building with Jung Si-woo quickly hardened into ice.

“Why are you here?”

“We shouldn’t be staying still because we’re worried that a suspicious person will enter our temple.”

“Of course, like right now.”

“What?”

The people’s hostility was directed at Jung Si-woo. This was the moment that Jung Si-woo was worried about! All right, if he takes this step by step, he could someday become the foreshadowing master and may be able to predict the future. Contrary to the current situation, Jung Si-woo was hopeful of his dream.

“I told you guys to wait for me down there…”

“Guild master, what are you doing? Who is that guy?”

A guild member asked in a stern voice, a sharp sword in his hand. The sword that shouldn’t have been aimed at her was now aiming straight for her heart. Lee Seo-hee replied as she couldn’t hide her anger.

“Do I have to explain everything to you?”

“It’s none of our business whatsoever, but you can’t do that in this temple. Did you tell another guild? I thought you’re the guild leader who asked us to hide the temple?”

“Are you trying to sell this temple to another guild? No wonder something was weird when you told us to stand by…”

Mm-hmm, indeed, it was a fair question and interrogation. You had guild members who look up to you. Jung Si-woo nodded his head. However, Lee Seo-hee was dumbfounded by the situation itself.

“You’re not in a position to argue with me, and I have more rights to this temple than anyone else in our guild.”

“The temple belongs to all of our guild members!”

As the atmosphere gradually escalated, Jung Si-woo slowly relaxed and took a deep breath by checking the level of guild members, which was pretty much lower than Lee Seo-hee. He wasn’t a monster, so he reminded himself not to kill them.

“I’m not saying that I’m selling the temple. I’m just trying to use my legitimate rights to it for something else. But why are you questioning me now…?”

“Lies! You’re telling us lies!”

“Tell us why you ordered us to go down! You were trying to monopolize the temple’s power!”

Feeling the hostility, Jung Si-woo smiled bitterly. He wanted to wait and watch carefully a little longer. He even wanted to take a step back and explain kindly to him that he didn’t need the power of God anyway…he was afraid it was too late.

“What’s wrong with you guys…!? Listen and think when people talk!”

“What are you talking about? It’s because you’re out of your mind.”

Jung Si-woo, who couldn’t stand to see Lee Seo-hee embarrassed, stepped in with a soft tone. She seemed to think that the guild members were misunderstanding and it could be solved through dialogue, but Jung Si-woo, who was sensitive to everything related to battle, could clearly grasp the flow. Logic didn’t matter to these guys right now. Lee Seo-hee was right when she said that they were ready to bow 108 times to the statue. They’ve already gone mad with the power of God.

“It’s ours.”

“It’s been bothering me since you asked for the largest share as the guild leader when you didn’t even go help during battles.”

“What the hell, if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be here right now…”

“Shut up!”

Jung Si-woo was now watching the process of collective madness forming. Even modern people in the 21st century, who had been fully educated, couldn’t be helped by the power of God? Jung Si-woo became a little scared at that thought. If he hadn’t gone through that quest, he might’ve been influenced by them.

“Hoo, was there a curse on the temple that I didn’t know about? That’s why the guild members…”

“You don’t have leisure time to analyze this situation, Lee Seo-hee. Can’t you see he’s already ready to attack you?

“Don’t be ridiculous. The temple has great power, but we were in the same guild…”

At that moment, Jung Si-woo stretched his hand to Lee Seo-hee. Shortly after she flinched in surprise, a dagger that flew for her forehead was firmly caught in Jung Si-woo’s hand. It was a skill full of mana, but it couldn’t even scratch Jung Si-woo’s skin.

“Keukk!?”

“No matter how hard it is, I can’t believe you’re trying to kill the Guild Master who brought you here without any hesitation. Or is that it? You tried to stab her with all your might because you were sure she could stop you?”

“You son of a…kkeek?”

He grabbed the blade of the dagger with one hand and kicked the man who was grunting while holding it. The man’s weapon was knocked out of his hand, flying a few meters away and crushing another colleague who was chanting magic from behind.

“I don’t know where he came from, but, kahak!”

“I don’t know either, so we’re even.”

He lightly threw the dagger he had stolen from the man he had kicked, then overpowering the man who flew in quickly with his wings unfurled. The player, who had been hit by the blade, couldn’t overcome the pain and be rolling on the floor. Before he attacked the remaining guild members, they spread their wings and tried to turn the tide, but by then, Lee Seo-hee was also coming to her senses and chanting magic.

“Are we on the same page now? Do you really want to take the temple all to yourself and attack me?”

“Kku, kkuuk…”

Remotely controllable barriers floated in the air to protect Jung Si-woo and Lee Seo-hee. Apart from that, the light lingering in her hands was divided into exactly five parts, aiming at all the guild members. Soo Ah-rin admired it again.

‘Defense and attack at the same time using mana. No wonder she was at the forefront of the dungeon attack within a few years.’

“Calm down, everybody! It was certainly careless of me to bring this man without telling you, but I’m not trying to take the power of the temple by myself, and if you’re suspicious, you can go to the temple first. But it’s only after you find your mental stability…”

[Keuaaaaaaa]

“Keuaaa?”

Lee Seo-hee thought those words could never come out of a normal man’s judgment. She tried to calm the guild members somehow, but the man Jung Si-woo first knocked down was screaming. Jung Si-woo turned his eyes to see if the guy finally let go of the strings of sanity.

“Wait a minute, the barrier…!”

[Kuuooooooooooooo!]

Lee Seo-hee’s barriers around the temple collapsed. It was torn from the inside by a power that exceeded her mana, leaving not a single trace. Jung Si-woo looked at the mysterious blue mana surrounding the temple and tilted his head when he felt it was somehow familiar.

But more serious changes came shortly after.

“Do, Dong-il!? Mr. Dong-il! Chun Dong-il!”

[Kugooookk!]

Scales began to form from one of the guild members.
