Login Psychopath - Chapter 139



Only Noblemtl

Episode 139.

[I became a temporary commander.]

[You can now command users belonging to the punitive force.]

[Your achievements as a commander are not included in your party’s achievements and are calculated separately.]

A heavy responsibility that came out of nowhere!

Isin was a little taken aback, but accepted it for now.

If you reject them for no reason, your goodwill level will drop significantly.

There is no reason to refuse if they offer you a hat.

“Wow, whoa!”

“Wow! What is this?!”

A party member causing a ruckus!

From the perspective of a person who has experienced all sorts of things, this may not have been unusual, but from the perspective of an ordinary user, it may have been novel.

“Hasn’t this kind of thing happened before?”

Isin asked.

“No?”

“You said you’ve done this quest a lot. But you’ve never done it before?”

“Yes, I’ve never seen you speak so intimately with an adventurer.”

“So we’re also really curious right now. If the number of subjugations is high, things like this happen… … .”

Admiring party members.

Of course, they were mistaken in thinking that this happened simply because the number of subjugated people was high.

This was because NPCs with high self-esteem, such as knights or nobles, usually had a basic disdain for those with an adventurer background.

No matter how many subjugations Yishin records, if he cannot solve this problem, the best he can do is to be seen as an ‘adventurer who uses a sword’.

However, as the titles and job skills that Lee Shin had accumulated began to take effect, a variable arose!

With the colored glasses of being an adventurer gone, Walter was able to acknowledge Yishin without any hesitation.

Thanks to that, I was able to receive this special quest.

‘It’s a good thing, but….’

Good for you, Isin!

Of course, there was a chance of failure, but even then there would be no real loss.

The rewards that individuals can receive will disappear, but the party rewards will remain.

but.

There was one thing to worry about.

‘… … .’

Isin glanced over the chaotic party members.

And then he immediately turned his head again.

“why?”

The party leader asked.

“yes?”

“Suddenly, you looked behind me. What’s behind me?”

“No. Nothing.”

“… … ?”

The party leader tilted his head, wondering if he felt anything special.

But it wasn’t Lee Shin.

He was a person who had a knack for reading other people’s opinions.

‘… is looking at you.’

Isin suddenly felt that the gazes of other users had changed.

* * *

-be careful.

“!”

A whisper in the ear of Isin.

Jung Yu-ra, who was startled and shook her shoulders, quickly turned her head.

The expression on his face was like, ‘Why are you whispering right next to me?’

“What… no.”

But soon he realized something and swallowed what he was saying.

Since this kind of thing happened often while hanging out with Lee Shin, I thought I would get used to it by now.

She answered calmly and in a similar whisper.

-what?

-Someone might be after us.

-… … I’m really embarrassed, but first of all, why? No, who?

Jung Yu-ra asked because she had no idea what it was.

This time, I didn’t kill anyone, I didn’t approach anyone disguised as a woman, and I didn’t interfere with anyone’s hunting.

Unlike usual, I was just proceeding with the quest very normally.

‘… But why?’

She asked curiously.

-This time we didn’t do anything.

-… … .

But you have no answer!

At that moment, Jeong Yu felt a chill down her spine.

‘no way…!?’

Did you accomplish something in that short amount of time?!

No, but I was watching the whole time this time…?

Common sense tells you that there would have been no room to do anything.

… But since Isin often does things that easily defy common sense, she asked cautiously.

-You didn’t… you did?

-… … .

-You didn’t do it.

-… … .

-… Hey! Why are you so nervous!? I didn’t do anything… … !

-I didn’t do it.

-phew…….

-Well, somehow it ended up like that.

In general, most online game users are very jealous.

Even if they are your close friends, if they succeed in a 1% chance of strengthening, you will feel sick, and if a user of a similar level to you gets a hero-grade job, you will feel sick.

This was natural.

This is because most of the game’s content, such as the game’s ranking system and arena system, encourages competition between users.

Additionally, depending on your level of growth and occupation, you will be treated differently by other users and even NPCs, so you will inevitably end up comparing your specs to those of others.

This was the reason for the coldness that Lee Shin felt.

Things were going so well that I felt from experience, ‘I might get stabbed in the back!’

Especially in group quests where the total amount of rewards is fixed, the envy felt by other users is bound to grow when the rewards are concentrated in one person.

-So you’re saying you’re going to PK?

-uh.

-Umm… … .

However, even after hearing the explanation from Jeong Yu, he was indifferent.

‘PK is a bit… … .’

Isn’t that going too far?

The subjugation quest isn’t just for today. Normally, I’d just say I’m jealous and move on…

“……that.”

“?”

Not everyone in the world is like you!

… the words rose to the tip of her tongue, but Jeong Yu-ra barely managed to hold them back.

-Ah… Neil might be able to do it.

-what?

-I just saw your skills. Shouldn’t you be careful?

-That’s not it.

-No? Why?

-Usually you don’t know until you try it yourself.

It was an answer born of experience.

In fact, many rankers initially avoided Isin because they thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be different if I were him?’ and they suffered badly without exception.

Of course, as Jung Yu-ra predicted, nothing may really happen… .

-Just know it.

-okay.

* * *

“Hold on a sec! We’ve discovered a monster colony up ahead!”

The next village was discovered shortly after moving.

Commander Walter paused for a moment and looked at Isin.

“They say it’s a similar number to before. Do you need help?”

“It’s okay. That’s enough for our adventurers.”

“… … Hmm, is that so?”

Walter answered indifferently.

But when I saw the corners of his lips going up, I could tell that he was satisfied with Lee Shin’s answer.

“… Then let’s leave it to him. Let’s see results that match our words.”

“All right.”

This god returned to the users.

The party members asked.

“What did you say?”

“He said he’d give us a chance and that we should seize it among ourselves… Come out for a moment.”

“Oh, yes.”

Isin lowered his gaze down the hill.

The orcs were silent, perhaps not yet noticing the presence of the punitive force.

‘I guess it would be better to start with a surprise attack.’

Considering the power of this side, it seemed like we could win even if we just fought, but that wouldn’t increase the commander’s merit.

If you fight as efficiently and strategically as possible, your major will go up.

“Everyone, come together.”

This is the user who gathered together.

And we divided each person into detailed roles according to their occupation.

“The beginning is….”

The gist was simple.

After the wizard’s preemptive strike, tanker users move in and draw the attention of the confused orcs.

Then, melee dealers will take advantage of the gap and deal damage.

“Hmm….”

Simple instructions, not really a strategy.

Someone raised their hand and asked.

“… That’s all?”

“yes.”

It’s better now.

Even if you give specific instructions, how effective will it be for people who are just working together for the first time?

Since this was a quest where there was a battle for rankings, it was obvious that later on, they would ignore the commands and focus on themselves and their party’s scores.

So, simply assigning roles like this could have led to better leadership.

‘… … This is a story from when you followed along well from the beginning.’

That was the only concern.

Jung Yu-ra seemed optimistic, but if Lee Shin’s prediction was true, someone would definitely take action for PK.

It is true that Isin showed overwhelming performance in the previous subjugation, but on the other hand, the skills of the other party members, excluding Isin, were just so-so.

‘Whether it’s a surprise attack or a push, I think it’s okay as long as they can catch me.’

… Of course, that’s not possible, but that’s something you can’t realize until you experience it firsthand.

‘Well, I guess there’s no need to think about it now.’

Although his thoughts were running wild, he soon shook them off.

If anyone does anything, it will be near the end of the subjugation quest.

It’s just started, and if a PK breaks out between the punitive forces, it’ll just mean we’ll die together.

but.

“… You should no longer participate in the battle and just watch him.”

“Who is that guy…?”

“Jung Yu-ra.”

“Oh, I understand.”

After giving Gilaim the bare minimum of preparations.

Lee Shin stood before the users.

“Warrior users, standby for the assault. Wizards, prepare your spells.”

Whew Whew Whew!

The magic circle of wizards glows one by one according to the command of Isin.

Since there were so many people, the number was huge.

There,

Tiring.

Your ruthlessness on the battlefield will inspire trust in your allies and fear in your enemies.

Now you exude a cold charisma that benefits you when commanding large forces.

‘hmm?’

Even the commander’s buff.

It was a title I had previously earned during the Yeongji War.

[Your title effect increases the health of all raid members by 10%.]

[Also grants a chance for the wizards’ attacks to be critical hits.]

“oh?”

“what.”

A pretty decent buff!

Users let out an exclamation.

After a while, the wizards who had finished casting their spells launched an attack.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!!!

A huge explosion.

Immediately afterwards, the screams of the orcs caught in the explosion echoed up the hill.

“Keeeeeek?!”

“A surprise attack!?”

[Big Explosion!]

[Under your command, we successfully launched a perfect surprise attack, dealing a severe blow to the orc horde.]

[The orc horde falls into confusion!]

A horde of orcs in disarray.

Yishin immediately gave the following instructions.

“Warrior users, charge!”

“Wow!”

“Wizards, prepare for 2nd strike, the rest of the melee dealers, standby!”

As the warriors close in on the orc horde, a second barrage of magic from the wizards falls.

Thanks to this, melee dealers can run wild among the orcs who are completely confused.

In this way, Lee Shin’s command was concise.

It was easy for everyone to follow, and there was no need to feel resistance as it was the same user’s instructions.

Thanks to this, the results followed naturally.

[The orc village has been subjugated.]

[We achieved a great victory!]

[Your reputation increases.]

[Gain experience points.]

[Commander’s merits…]

[Your party…]

[… … ]

[… … ]

As you win, the message goes up!

It was the same in the next, next, and next subjugation.

With his appropriate level of command and his personal transcendent skills, Isin continued to scorch the monster villages he encountered.

“What happened?”

“We won.”

“Hahaha! As expected, you’re amazing!”

Thanks to that, Walter is smiling so brightly that the corners of his mouth seem to hang from his ears!

Even the expressions on other users’ faces weren’t bad.

Apart from the competition for public value, the situation itself was enjoyable due to the continued landslide victory.

“… … .”

… … However, not everyone had a smiling face.

* * *

“What rank are we in?”

“Second place.”

“… … Tsk.”

The user who let out a small tongue-clicking sound turned his head.

At the end of that gaze was Isin.

The user muttered.

“… It must be because of him?”

“I guess so. There’s nothing else, right?”

As the saying goes, Isin’s hunting speed was unparalleled.

It starts off relatively slowly, but before you know it, it’s unleashing explosive firepower, as if it has some special skill.

It was a speed that other users simply could not keep up with.

“shit…….”

Thanks to that, a user who lets out a small curse.

It was even more bittersweet because if it weren’t for Lee Shin, the first place would have been certain.

If only he wasn’t there.

If only he weren’t here.

Just him… … .

“… …Should I kill you?”
