The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 567.5



Chapter 567 – You’re mean, even behind your back (1) #PART 2

A small office.

A man hunched over his desk.

Choi Changwoo muttered.

“What can you do, huh?”

You haven’t changed a bit, Lee Hoyeol.

“You pretentious bastard.”

But Choi Changwoo’s muttering didn’t last long.

“Mr. Changwoo, have you finished what I asked you to do earlier?”

“What? Oh, I’m still working on it!”

“Still? You’re still holding on to that simple thing?”

If it’s that simple, why don’t you do it yourself?

The words rose in his throat.

Choi Changwoo swallowed hard.

“I’ll make it quick.”

“Of course you will, and …….”

The man approached and lowered his voice.

“I’m not an asshole, and I’m not the owner of this company, and I’m not going to tell you what you’re doing on your own time, since we’re on the same payroll, but let’s keep our lines, Mr. Changwoo.”

Choi Changwoo’s gaze drifts to the internet window he’s skillfully hidden.

“No matter what, let’s just finish what we have to do and move on. You’re the only one who’ll lose if we do this already, right? It’s because I didn’t tell you, your name keeps popping up these days.”

Choi Changwoo clenched his fists.

Anyway, it’s a damn company. I’m just trying to work for what I’m paid, so why do I have to argue about everything.

“Even if you don’t do that shit, I’ll beat you first.”

A head that bows differently from his heart.

“….. I’ll fix it.”

tsk-tsk, an unpleasant shake of the shoulders.

“Okay. I’ll ask you to do it before the meeting.”

You think it’s over.

As he turns to leave, he adds one last thing.

“Oh, and don’t talk to yourself too much.”

” ….. Oh, yeah.”

“And this is purely out of curiosity, but what’s so much to talk about? I thought you were just admiring them. Changwoo, you don’t have any contact with the players, do you?”

Choi Changwoo gritted his teeth.

What he meant was simple.

What’s the big deal about a world where you don’t live?

“Well, don’t bother answering. I’ll leave.”

The man left like that, but Choi Changwoo was unable to let go of his anger for a while. It has to be that way. Because that bastard was talking without knowing anything.

That’s because he was talking without knowing anything.

‘Why is there no contact?’

I know Lee Hoyeol.

Is it a normal acquaintance?

The corner of Choi Changwoo’s mouth turned up.

‘Lee Ho-yeol, that bastard used to crawl when he saw me.

What gives him strength in his damn social life?

None other than memories of the past.

To be precise.

It was Seongsun Middle School, a decade and many years ago.

Recalling the past seemed to restore his self-esteem, which had sunk to rock bottom.

Choi Changwoo tapped the keyboard once again.

-That’s all pretense, isn’t it? Fuck your pride!

Hahaha

-You’ve been pretending to be good for a long time, Lee Hoyeol. Lol

-If you act foolishly out of pity and your house falls apart haha.
I’m afraid to update the post.

-Ugh, now I’m going to see all the crazy bastards.

-The demon lowers his tail, so now humans are haha

-Doesn’t this fucker get sued? This post is legendary.

-You need to get sued by Gaon’s legal team to keep you sane.
-See Inferiority Complex

hurrr

The comments start running.

Attention is focused on the insignificant self.

I was just mentioning you, Hoyeol.

Choi Changwoo felt elated at that moment.

Of course, he was self-conscious.

He wondered if his current behavior was no different from that of a common troll. But he soon shook it off. I’m not like them, I don’t make up things to say.

“Isn’t that right, Hoyeol?”

|_ Me? = Don’t you know just by looking at me that I’m not doing it?

|_ I’m not cowardly, beadle.

|_ Can’t you see that none of Lee Hoyeol’s alumni appear?

|_ You all really lost your senses ョkekekekekekeke

|_ Inferiority complex? Me? To Lee Hoyeol?
Of course, he didn’t comment further. No matter what comments Choi Chang-woo made, he was just another [Anonymous1] in the community.

Tada, tada, tada.

But Choi Changwoo didn’t care. If it’s buried, he can write again. Remorse? Like I said, I’m just telling you what happened.

Feeling ashamed?

As expected, there was no way I could feel it.

Because at this moment, the thing that supports the insignificant Choi Changwoo is the past.
Yes, the player of players.

A being who writes down a unique path.

Lee Hoyeol, the Infinitely Deep Darkness and the Savior of Mankind.

-He couldn’t even make eye contact with me back in the day.

To Lee Hoyeol.

I’m the one who instilled a trauma that will never be forgotten.

It was Choi Changwoo.

Choi Changwoo muttered to himself as he tapped the keyboard.

“……Wait, I heard that trauma lasts a lifetime?”

Isn’t this why you’re avoiding me even now, you bastard?

“Mr. Changwoo.”

The man approaches again, his voice echoing in the quiet office.

He sighs, as if to extinguish it.

The nagging voice was about to continue.

“Didn’t we say something nice? If you keep doing this.”

“Oh, fuck.”

“What? What did you say just now, Mr. Changwoo?!”

The office.

Everyone’s heads snap up.

Stunned expressions and stares that I knew it.

And all the while.

Choi Changwoo didn’t look up, didn’t turn in his chair, didn’t look away.

His fingers were still dancing on the keyboard.

Tada, tada, tada.

But unlike school, society is not easy.

“Mr. Changwoo, I can’t let this one go.”

Choi muttered.

“Do it or don’t do it, asshole.”

Choi Changwoo’s face was gradually moving closer to the monitor.

A video was playing on the monitor.

With it.

[Exclusive] Today’s Arcana – Ask Barbatos

Choi Changwoo’s pupils gradually began to blacken.

*

No ordinary silver chain.

“Unbelievable.”

Not only has he sealed the power and the Objective Eye, but he’s also severed the link to the curse. Barbatos has lost his faith. There was no time for him anymore.

‘I need to make the right decision.’

Barbatos assessed the situation soberly.

His opponent was Lee Hoyeol, the Tenth Seat.

The one who had sent Buer, Paimon, and Gamigin to Hell.

It was the demon’s natural enemy.

‘Then.’

That was why Barbatos spoke from the heart in response to the barrage of questions.

As if he had truly succumbed to Lee Hoyeol.

To show everyone that Lee Hoyeol was beyond even the Ten Thrones.

He wanted everyone to know that he was truly terrifying.

Soon, awe began to sweep through the Crystal Hall.

At the same time, Barbatos unleashed a curse.

The price was Charmen’s sacrifice.

The curse, 《Cracked Vessel》was already nullified.

A lesser curse, 《Inherited Malice》is manifested.

The effect is simply to possess the one with the deepest grudge against the target.

In terms of effectiveness, it was a weak curse.

But Barbatos was well aware of human nature.

‘It’s a world where even the most innocent are maligned, isn’t it?’

Hence the hatred for you.

You cannot count the number of those who would seek your place.

It didn’t matter which of the adventurers became the vessel.

‘I just need a trick.’

If it caused fear.

If the world is filled with fear of Lee Hoyeol.

With that, the goal is achieved.

Barbatos swallowed a smile.

‘A man who claims to be great and the Ten Thrones.’

May you witness the moment when my reverence for you turns into fear.

“!”

With that, Barbatos opened his eyes in his new body.

“….”

Why is this bug worse than an ant?

What right do you have to be here.

What right do you have to harbor such great envy and jealousy.

“What is it, this trashy body?”

In Choi Changwoo’s filthy body, who is neither a player nor anything.

“Nonsense.”
