Level 0 Master

Chapter 43: Vol. 2 – Episode 18

She got rid of her armor and was only wearing her underwear. Her naked body in the middle of the heated battle was attractive. Her fit body showed even fitter muscles that toned up after her fierce fight. Her sweat was dripping on her curvy body that had an even more seductive scent than any perfume.

She looked like a lively lioness.

She made him want to conquer her and taste her.

“Your skills and sword have made my defensive skills useless. I need to maximize my speed. So no thanks.”

“No, not something to defend you, but some clothes to cover your skin.”

Sungjin offered for her to cover herself with something. He was just like a highschooler who didn’t know where to look.

“Hmph. You think this is distracting? That is even better,” said Eustasia holding her sword with her shiny silver hair billowing behind her.

“This is a fight for my king and my kingdom’s destiny, if i can distract you, I will use it.”

Her bright eyes looked like shining stars.

Her voice echoed to show her determination.

“I don’t mind being naked!”

She almost looked like she would take off her undies too. Sungjin had no choice but to fight against her.

“Excuse me. I will just ignore it,” Sungjin answered as his eyes became calm again.

Now his eyes were looking at her as a warrior, not as a naked beauty.

Sungjin’s sword started to attack Eustasia again, but the fight became very different.

He hit her with his sword, but she avoided it with her next-level speed.

He kicked her, but she quickly moved away and avoided his kick.

He calculated her next move and attack, but she would react to his attack faster. He was able to calculate quickly, but Eustasia moved even faster.

She kept an inch difference to avoid his attacks, but that didn’t mean she was leading this fight. She was barely avoiding the attacks and was not able to counterattack. All she was able to do was to avoid his fierce attacks with her fluid movements.

If they had to keep going like this, Sungjin clearly had the upper hand.

His sharp eyes were analyzing and categorizing her movements.

Her flawless moves looked like there were infinite possibilities, but Sungjin was sure that since Eustasia was also a human, she would unconsciously show a pattern.

Cut, slice, kick and hit with a fist.

Eustasia was still avoiding all his attacks, but suddenly, she lost her balance when she stepped back to avoid Sungjin’s attack and tripped over a stone on the ground behind her.

Is this the stone he kicked right before?

It looked like he accidentally kicked the stone, but the stone was right where she had to step in order to avoid Sungjin’s attack.

Sungjin was able to hit her for the first time after she took off her armor. She tried to avoid it and got a one-centimeter cut on her left hand.

Maybe next time, he would hit a vital point. But she was sure of her victory at that moment.

Now I can use Sword in Mind again. I did well. My skill is back. Now it’s time to finish Sungjin who was not able to finish me in time.

She pointed her hand toward Sungjin without hesitation.

This is my victory for my king!

She was determined to finish him with this final blow.

“Sword in Mind!”

A supersonic invisible sword came from her palm to pierce the air and then Sungjin’s body. The sound came after everything was done.

Her sword ripped his flesh and muscles and broke his bones.

It was a fatal blow.

Sungjin lost his shoulder and his arm scattered into tiny pieces. The fatal blow also broke the tower and made a crater in the ground.

They were standing in a pool of blood.

“So that’s it,” said Eustasia looking at Sungjin.

“Yes. I won,” Sungjin answered.

“How did you do it?”

She slowly fell down to her knees.

Sungjin lost his left hand in order to take her heart.

“I couldn’t stop your level 7 speed.”

That was the limit of being level 0. He trained himself but he didn’t have super speed, so he knew what to do but he couldn’t.

But when she tried to use her skill, she had to stop for a second, not to react to his attack but to activate her skill.

That was the tiny moment that Sungjin was waiting for.

“But the moment you tried to use your skill, you needed to stop for a second.”

“The moment to activate... my skill... was the reason of my defeat.”

Eustasia’s body slowly scattered.

She looked at Sungjin once more. The guy who had defeated her twice was embedded in her mind

Haha. He is truly a great guy.

She tried to make him accept the reality, but he showed her a possibility beyond that.

Maybe it was me who was tied up in “reality” and did not try to find something beyond it.

Sungjin pushed his sword deeper into her heart and held her in his arms and whispered, “I won on the other two battlefields as well. Will you admit that if you work with me, we can get over this reality together?”

“I will admit that,” she answered.

“Will you come with me? I will treat you as a great general.”

Sungjin had three times more land than the Kingdom of Cariana, so he was offering three times more land to her.

It was an excellent offer to a defeated general.

But...

“No thanks.”

“Why?”

“I made an oath to my king...”

“You talked about reality, but that was it?”

Sungjin laughed, thinking she had a long way to go. He had his doubts. Her ideas of realism were not to remain in this reality but to gradually change it. It was a “methodology,” and a methodology needed an end goal.

He wished that her end goal was to protect the people, but she wanted to help her king to pursue Merciful Rulership.

It sounded very similar but was actually very different.

It seemed like that he still had a long way to go to make her join his team.

“Sure, I will consider this as a second stage. I will make you join me.”

“You are a great guy, but give up. All I am planning to offer you is my revenge.”

That was her last word before he exited the battlefield.

...

[The Blue Team has won.]

Light shone on Sungjin.

His wounded body recovered fully in the light, and the Valkyrie slowly landed in front of him.

The nonchalant messenger of God offered him the goblet with God’s nectar.

Sungjin drank it all without much expectation.

He felt some strong power coming into his body, but the power didn’t get absorbed. It stayed somewhere inside his body instead.

The power was just like a vault that was locked inside of him.

[System Error.

Name: Cha Sungjin

Class: Undefined

Without class information, the level cannot be granted.

Without class information, skills cannot be granted.

Without class information, status adjustment cannot be granted.]

The Valkyrie repeated some words.

Sungjin shrugged his shoulders. He didn’t expect to get a level right away, but he was happy enough to save this power for the future.

I should find out the cause of the system error when I finish the war against the four kingdoms.

The Valkyrie gave him the real award.

[I grant you the registration of the territory that was staked during this battle of life and death. All the extras in this territory and all their goods belong to you. You can also exile unwanted heroes from the other forces.]

All the territories of the three kingdoms, who tried to take Sungjin’s territory, was now Sungjin’s... because Ereka decided to let Sungjin have all the territory that he won.

The Valkyrie continued.

[And I grant you the territories that were fought by your representatives...]

The crest of the other territories showed up on his arm and then disappeared.

He was able to see the information on his new territories, such as the population, area, GDP and tax rates.

[Status report of your land.

Population: 32,570,000

Area: 350,000 km2

GBP: 79.5423 trillion dilent

...]

“Ha. It’s not the first time, but still, I can’t get used to this massive amount of loot.”

Sungjin smiled.

In Valhalla, the battlefield of God, the bounty for the qualification round of the game was a country. Territory, people, power, and wealth—everything belonged to the country that became his.

Nothing on earth could compare to what he had won here.

He won all three battles. Even in the battles that he was not able to participate in, he defeated his enemies with his intelligence. It was his perfect victory.

Chapter 13

A simultaneous fight on three battlefields.

Everyone thought Sungjin would be defeated, and if he were lucky, maybe he would win on one. But the result was the opposite.

Sungjin took everything from the three kings who attacked the Kingdom of Sevrantina.

Three thirds made a whole. As a result, he had now doubled his land. Now he had the same amount of land and people compared to the alliance of the three kingdoms.

But those were just numbers.

Before, everyone was sure that the alliance of the three kingdoms would win, but now nobody knew who could win.

Of course the alliance of the three kingdoms still had the upper hand. They didn’t lose anything other than their land. But having the upper hand didn’t mean much when they had to fight against Sungjin.

Everyone understood that.

...

The news spread to everywhere.

The extras from the Kingdom of Sevrantina cheered with happiness.

“Hurray!”

“We won!”

“Oh, gods! Thank you.”

They didn’t want to go back to a miserable life under those kings, so they wished for the victory of Sungjin and Queen Ereka.

They wanted to believe Sungjin’s promise to win, but the situation looked extremely bad.

But he made it in the end.

Although they couldn’t trust him fully... he made it.

“Ohhh. Master Sungjin and our queen has saved us.”

Some became emotional and started to cry. It was a victory that saved thier lives so no one thought it was stupid to cry.

The staff and patients at the hospital were the same. As soon as Nania heard the news, she fell down on her knees.

She dropped her plate of medicine, but she didn’t care.

Oh... thank god...

She would kill herself if she had to go back to that prison. She was so happy, not only for herself, but also for everyone in the hospital.

“Can I keep learning letters?” Lute asked her with his books in his arms.

“Of course, you can.” Nania was able to answer him with a smile.

It was not just the extras from the Kingdom of Sevrantina who were happy. The extras from the three kingdoms, who now belonged to Sungjin, started to carefully talk about it.

“Will he really be generous to us?”

“I think people are exaggerating, that is too good to be true.”

“But still, if only a small part of if is true, our lives will be better, don’t you think?”

“You are right.”

They didn’t wish for hospitals, that simply sounded like a fantasy.

I hope he will reduce the 70% tax rate a little bit so that we don’t have to starve. Maybe to 60% or... 50% when we have a bad harvest...

I hope he won’t take us as his prisoners for no reason...

I heard that in his country, the heroes can’t abuse the extras. The heroes cannot beat us up or use us for their means. But that must be a rumor.

I hope he won’t kill or disable us whenever he is in a bad mood.
