Login Psychopath - Chapter 150
Only Noblemtl
Episode 150.
‘There is one more legend.’
It was certain.
Without being noticed by any rankers or guilds.
There was a legend that grew so secretly that it gave rise to the quest to kill an arch-enemy.
“But does that make sense?”
It was the guild master, Hazel, who questioned Ian’s confidence.
Because he knew how hard it was to obtain the legendary profession.
He said it as if he couldn’t believe it.
“You’ve been doing the linked quests for almost several months now.”
“That’s right.”
“That was also done with the support of the guild. Without the support, it would have taken longer or even been impossible, right?”
“that’s right.”
Ian admitted coolly.
As the saying goes, legendary jobs are extremely difficult to obtain.
Although individual ability is an ability, the support of the guild is more important.
The quest itself was difficult, and there were also occasional attacks from other guilds and competitors.
If you were a solo player, becoming a legendary would have been realistically impossible.
“But, that’s the message. There’s no one among the rankers with that kind of job.”
“We might not have known.”
“Then the problem becomes more serious.”
The rankers basically know each other well.
We don’t know exactly what each other does, but we have a rough idea of where they are and what they do.
But didn’t you know that the full-time job training process would take several months?
It wasn’t that the other party hid it well, but rather that we were incompetent.
“That’s right.”
Hazel’s expression became serious.
It was hard to believe, but it really happened.
‘Was the quest easy? No, it couldn’t be… … .’
Many thoughts came to mind, but the conclusion was simple.
It’s just that the opponent’s skills and manners are superior.
So much so that you can complete that difficult process by yourself without anyone noticing.
Hazel muttered.
“Are you a ranker in Avala 1?”
“Considering his abilities, it’s highly likely. The problem is that he can’t be on our side.”
“… … I guess so.”
If it were normal, they would have immediately started a large-scale search for the opponent and then tried to recruit him.
The opponent’s skills have already been verified, and it’s hard to think that he would refuse the offer to join the #1 guild.
The problem was the quest.
A quest to kill each other’s nemesis.
“Probably someone has to die for it to end.”
“It’s fortunate that it ends, but it may not end even if I die.”
“Huh? Ah… … .”
Users have no concept of death unless they quit the game altogether.
It will just make you temporarily unavailable.
As Ian said, it wouldn’t be strange if those types of quests kept appearing as we both grew together.
Hazel concluded.
“Let’s keep this only known to our guild leadership.”
“Yeah. And you have to think about the other person too.”
“If you want to kill someone, you have to find them first, but how can you find them if you don’t know who they are?”
“If you think realistically, you won’t find it.”
There is no clue other than his occupation, and he is someone I didn’t even know existed until now.
If you search recklessly, you might end up catching someone for no reason.
“… … That’s true. Then what should we do?”
“You have to wait. The other person knows me. Then, he will come to you someday.”
Ian speaks with confidence.
He didn’t think he would have to wait long.
If he can clear the legendary job quest on his own, he must be quite skilled, and as such, he must be confident.
Even Ian, wasn’t he a priest after all?
The priest, whose job concept was to specialize in assisting others, was the weakest job in single-player combat, surpassing only magicians and archers.
Even if there is a level difference, it would be hard to imagine that the assassin profession, which is ranked 1st or 2nd in PvP combat power, would lose.
Ian intended to exploit that psychology.
‘Wait.’
After setting the perfect trap.
Hazel nodded.
“I guess you have something on your mind.”
“uh.”
“Then you take care of that yourself. If you need the guild’s support, just let me know.”
“I get it.”
“… … Okay. Then let’s end that conversation here for now. The guild leadership meeting will be held soon, so make sure you come on time.”
Although the talk about murder was over, there was still something equally important left to do.
It was about the main quest that was starting to take shape.
Although it was quiet on the surface, the guild leaders were considering various pieces of information and expected that a major conflict over power in the kingdom would soon occur.
So I had to decide which side to join as quickly as possible, and at this time, the opinion of Ian, a guild high ranker, was essential.
“okay.”
Ian nodded and left the room.
Since I had some time left before the meeting, I thought I would do some personal training during that time.
As support for rankers was generous, the guild had many facilities available for personal use.
‘You said there was about an hour left…’
“Huh? Mr. Ian!”
“?”
But then, there was a voice that stopped Ian’s steps.
Looking back, I saw a user I had seen a few times in the guild house.
What’s going on?
We’re not particularly close… .
“Why me?”
“Oh, the Lord Gilma is looking for you.”
“Me? I just met you…?”
“I forgot to say something. I just came out of the guild house, so follow me.”
“Oh, yes.”
‘Was there something you couldn’t say inside?’
That could have been it.
Because it was such a serious matter.
If someone were to barge in during a conversation, wouldn’t it be a disaster?
As I watched the user ahead of me heading towards increasingly deserted places, I wondered what on earth he was talking about, as he went to such lengths to find a place with no people.
however.
It was the moment when I came out and turned the corner.
“… … ?”
The user who was right in front of me disappeared without a trace.
In the two seconds or so that it disappeared from sight, it disappeared like a mirage.
However, the guild master I was waiting for was not there.
There was only one orc with a strangely cute appearance running away in the distance.
“… What, what is it?”
What a possessed feeling!
Ian’s panicked voice flowed out.
And then, from far away, a person approached.
He was wearing a mask on his face and his entire body was covered by a cloak, so his appearance was completely unrecognizable… .
‘Who is it? It’s not Gilma… Oh, really?!’
So there was someone who had an idea.
‘That guy is a murderer!’
Ian’s guess is that if you wait, the other person will come to you.
Actually, his guess was correct.
However, if there was one mistake he made, it was that he did not expect the opponent to come to him so quickly.
Without even having time to set a trap, he went crazy.
[I sense a strong malice around me!]
[The adult’s length reacts to malice.]
[You have encountered your arch-enemy, Murseong!]
[As one who walks the path of an adult, prove that your path is right by killing him!]
‘……also.’
Ian’s eyes sank.
I don’t know how he did it, but the other person pretended to be a guild member and lured me into a trap.
But he wasn’t too worried.
‘The difference in level is clear.’
First of all, the opponent wasn’t a ranker.
Even though it is an assassin class, it is impossible to produce damage that can instantly melt a player who is ranked 11th in personal rankings and is wearing expensive defensive items.
Also, this is the front yard of the Shining Star Guild.
If you just buy time with moderate heal and defensive spells, your opponent will naturally be surrounded.
Woohoo!
Dozens of buffs surround Ian’s body.
but.
Pick.
“… … ?”
The opponent suddenly collapsed, his resolve fading away.
Ian blinked.
“……? what?”
Is it a trap?
Are you trying to make your opponent let their guard down by pretending to be dead and then attacking them by surprise?
It was when Ian was so shaken by the other person’s unexpected behavior that he even had such thoughts.
Tiring.
“?”
An ominous system warning sound rang in Ian’s ears.
…and then shortly after, things blew up.
[A thick aura of death arises.]
[I’m dead!]
“what…!?”
[Murdered by Salseong.]
[Quest fails.]
[Failing to prove your way is righteous results in a permanent penalty, .]
You are a loser.
The indelible scars of your first defeat at the hands of your arch-enemy will haunt you for the rest of your life.
But it is up to you whether you leave it as just a painful wound or use it as an opportunity to reflect on your shortcomings.
Remember, to become a legend, you must not be easily broken… … .
•All stats -5%
•The unique skill, , is downgraded to .
“… … !?!?!?”

-Hey, crazy. Did anyone see the ranking change that just happened!?
A post on the Avala Online Community.
The author seemed very excited for some reason, but people’s initial reaction was lukewarm.
Because it wasn’t really surprising.
-Rankings changed again?
Isn’t that something that happens often?
Hey, whoever completed the quest you were putting off, send it to me.
When it comes to rankers, very small differences often determine ranking.
Because of this, it was common for someone to go up one or two levels at a time when completing a large quest, and their ranking would change.
-Author, if you look at the daily rankings, they change frequently… . Unlike us, they are ranked based on a few percent difference in experience points.
Really?
Yes. That’s why everyone checks the rankings on a monthly basis.
-You’re making a fuss over nothing, lol
Yeah lol
The atmosphere is being organized by the writer’s fuss or aggro.
But this atmosphere soon changed.
-Wait a minute, something’s weird here? Why is the level down?
Nwhat? Huh? Is that so?
The reason for the change in ranking was that Ian’s level went down.
And this level down only happens when you receive a death penalty due to death.
in other words.
-Wow, crazy. Ian got PK’d?!
Users naturally came to one conclusion.
Ian was on a different level of fame and influence than the other users that Ishin had killed so far.
Naturally, the community was in chaos again.
-This is crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Isn’t this the first time Ian has leveled down?
Yes, that’s right. In the first place, there was no reason for a priest to die.
Oh, I see. But why did he suddenly die now? Did the rankers fight?
Does that make sense? Why are the rankers fighting among themselves when they’re crazy? They must know it’s risky for both of them. They must have died while raiding.
No, seriously, that could be the case.
Huh?
ㄴRight now, all the rankers have gone to the Eton Kingdom to do the main quest. They are all of similar level, so if they want the same thing, they might fight.
Oh… Is that so?
-But is there a ranker who would mess with the Shining Star Guild? They’re ranked 1st in the guild rankings. Wouldn’t it be a waste to mess with them for no reason?
It’s possible that he wasn’t killed by a ranker.
In the meantime, someone expressed an opinion that was close to the truth… .
ㄴThat doesn’t make any sense;;
Even if he’s a priest, does 11th place in the personal ranking look easy? Even so, commoners like us will just get ignored.
ㄴThat’s right. I saw Ian play in the arena, and his physicality was quite brutal. It’s just that his opponent’s skills didn’t match up at all.
This was soon ignored by strong opposition from other users.
Isin, who had been watching the community’s reactions, turned off his computer with a sense of relief.
‘That’s fortunate.’
Ian’s death was obviously Lee Shin’s doing.
The method was simple.
After disguising Arthur as one of the guild members and calling Ian to a place with no people, he used the skill.
One-on-one was too dangerous, and there was the risk that one’s identity could be revealed.
Of course, the skill called Donggwi Eojin itself is very risky, but if the situation is right, it’s a different story.
Because if there is no one else within a 10 meter radius besides Lee Shin and Ian, I can definitely kill Ian.
Above all, Lee Shin’s death was different from Ian’s death.
•You die instantly when using the skill.
At the same time, a thick aura of death rises, causing suspicious deaths nearby.
•When the suspicious death skill is activated, one user within a 10m radius is randomly selected and dies instantly. This death cannot be avoided.
•This skill does not grant experience points. However, it also does not cause item drops due to death penalties.
Instant death when using a skill.
That is, this person was not killed by anyone.
It was closer to suicide.
Whatever the outcome, it was something that happened because of my own decision, and I didn’t suffer any damage from the other person during the process.
But Ian was different.
Because he died under suspicious circumstances after being caught up in the thick aura of death caused by Isin.
In fact, it was as good as dead because of this.
