The day of the reunion.
Oh Jin-sook also decided to go out to the reunion.
Although it wasn't her intention, it was a situation caused by her mistake.
She should at least be of help in resolving it.
First she went to work at the company and met CEO Jung Dong-hoon.
"I will take responsibility."
"Hmm, then please cooperate well with the Management Agency employees and wrap the matter up well."
Actually, she thought the reunion would be canceled if she reported it to CEO Jung Dong-hoon.
Because it would reach Joo-hyuk's ears.
However, such a thing didn't happen.
Rather, he's attending, it says.
"Excuse me, I have something to ask."
"Joo-hyuk... No, Player Bong Joo-hyuk-nim, is that person, right?"
"Haa, that's right. And the actual owner of our Rajix C&T."
She had circumstantial evidence.
However, hearing it directly with her own mouth made her heart pound.
'I almost caused a big disaster.'
She did well to report it in advance.
She fortunately got out of it herself though.
What are you going to do?
Even though you even awakened as a player.
You thought your life would work out well, right?
You should have lived kindly.
There is also something weighing on her mind.
Jang Wan-sub's gang might also find out.
"If the Best Player's identity is discovered like this, what do we do? ...Wouldn't it be dangerous?"
CEO Jung Dong-hoon, saying it's no big deal.
"Those who know, know anyway. Not only domestically, but even overseas."
"Well, the US, Europe, China, Japan... they probably all have a grasp on it."
"It's just that it was hidden because it seems like it'll become bothersome if the general public finds out."
"Then using this opportunity to reveal his identity......."
"That's not it. The NIS and the Awakening Management Agency will take the lead to control it. Secretary Oh, you go and pretend to not know anything."
So Oh Jin-sook came out earlier than the appointment time.
The appointment location is the entertainment district in Sinchon, Seoul.
A place slightly away from the center where people's comings and goings are relatively infrequent.
An ordinary hof bar located in an alley.
The reunion is planned to proceed here.
The hof bar owner and employees?
All of them are Management Agency employees, or people from the NIS.
Rajix C&T rented the entire shop for the whole day today.
The restaurant across the street too, the coffee shop next to it too.
Centering around the location where the reunion will be held, all the surrounding shops were rented for just a day.
All preparations complete.
This area is already being strictly controlled.
It wasn't a reunion, but a large-scale operation.
It's natural in a way.
Because Joo-hyuk was the Best Player.
A short moment later.
The hof bar door opened and.
"Yo, Jin-sook-ah! Did you wait long?"
"You came out early?"
"Heu-heu, we're going until the end, alright? No bailing in the middle."
The punks whose lives are perhaps planned to be ruined today entered the hof bar.
"Right! Did you say you contacted Bong Joo-hyuk?"
"Yeah, he says he's coming out. He might be a little late though."
"Okay, this will be fun."
"I'm looking forward to it."
I'm looking forward to it very much.
Just hearing the name, it's not a simple mission.
A word meaning the process of travel.
It seems like leaving for somewhere to perform the mission.
Moreover, completion time limit deleted, unconditionally evaluated as EX grade clear if the mission is accomplished, separation of time flow, save function.
It's definitely not a simple monster extermination mission.
It's fine not to climb the tower for the time being anyway.
I should handle the reunion first.
After going down and seeing the other floors of the White Tower too.
Let's ponder over it after doing that.
Joo-hyuk and the summoned entities who finished preparations for the outing on the White Tower 17th floor.
Now we just have to leave but.
"Not yet, sir. The main character must go late, sir."
Main character, what main character.
As the time approaches right in front of my nose, I suddenly don't want to go.
"...Can't I cancel attendance even now?"
"You cannot, sir. All preparations are complete, sir. Now only enjoying it remains, sir."
"What is there to enjoy?"
Cossack gesturing with his hand.
"Riding a Bentley, huh? Wearing a 1 billion won wristwatch, huh? And appearing while being lovey-dovey with a succubus, huh? How would the reactions of those iljin villain losers be, sir? That is enjoying it, sir."
What meaning is there in doing that.
Actually, attending the reunion is an excuse.
I have no intention of acting childishly bossy seeking cider or whatever.
Joo-hyuk just wanted to roam the street of Seoul at night together with the summoned entities.
Going to a bar, going to a karaoke, trying taking Life Four Cuts (photo booth) pictures too.
Compared to being cooped up on the White Tower 17th floor every day.
The current summoned entities registered in the catalog and the list of defectors?
Cossack, Gobang, Gyeon Dal-rae, Rajix, Gwangma, Major Be, Bardin, Mari, Jepet, Tiamat, Mackenzie, El, Duu, Baek Dan-ah, Crackus, Blood Wolf.
A total of 16 people.
When I consumed the Rune of Trait Enhancement I received as an entry gift for the Earth No. 675 Black Tower 91st floor just yesterday, Joo-hyuk's current status window trait is.
[Trait] : Summon (Simultaneous Summons : 15)
The number of people is exactly right.
Excluding Blood Wolf.
However, our companion dog Blood Wolf.
The more I look at it, the more it steps on my eyes. (Korean idiom for feeling sorry for someone/something)
"Do you want to go out too?"
Our Blood Wolf should try taking a walk outside too.
Marking its territory, smelling other dogs too.
I need one more Rune of Trait Enhancement.
"Let's briefly go to the Republic of Korea Black Tower 91st floor before attending the reunion. We have time, right?"
"Of course, sir. Going in and coming out won't even take 5 minutes, sir."
Black Tower 91st floor entry gift.
1 Rune of Trait Enhancement per person.
Well, since we already received it on Earth No. 675, I'm not totally sure if we can receive it on Earth No. 1,001 too but.
If we receive it and eat it, the possible number of simultaneous summons is 16.
I can go on an outing together with all the summoned entities.
I feel good just thinking about it.
So taking only Cossack, Gwangma, Bardin, and Gobang.
[Entering the 91st floor of the Republic of Korea Black Tower (NO.1).]
The background was exactly the same as the Earth No. 675 Black Tower.
A room made of pure white walls.
Come to think of it, this is probably a place like a waiting room.
Once I accept the mission called the Grand Journey, I'll probably be moved to another place.
"I wish you would quickly receive the Rune of Trait Enhancement and go to the reunion, sir."
"...Are you looking forward to it that much?"
"Isn't it obvious, sir? Old Man Mae will also act as the filming director for the reunion event, sir."
He's completely hooked, hooked on it.
Like this, how can I not follow along.
[World Notice : A player has reached the 91st floor of the Black Tower for the first time.]
The World Notice popped up.
Just like during the Earth No. 675 Black Tower.
People would probably act surprised wondering what it is, right?
Since it's not even an S+++ grade message, but just a simple entry message.
[World Notice : We introduce the player starting a Grand Journey from now on to the survivors of Earth.]
This is a message I couldn't hear in the Earth No. 675 Black Tower.
[World Notice : It is the Best Player who surpassed the 90th floor from the 1st floor and climbed up to the 91st floor. He has stepped onto a path no one has taken.]
"Don't tell me......."
[World Notice : Survivors, please send unsparing applause and encouragement to the Best Player Bong Joo-hyuk.]
It was this kind of thing?
[World Notice : We wish that luck and blessings will be full until the final tower floor that the Best Player Bong Joo-hyuk climbs.]
My name becomes known like this.
'Come to think of it, the notice was canceled on Earth No. 675.'
Saying the conditions weren't met.
What are the conditions mentioned here?
This message is a global notice delivered to the survivors of each Earth.
There were no survivors on Earth No. 675.
On the other hand, there are on Earth No. 1,001.
Everyone survived, right.
The summoned entities also seemed surprised.
"D, don't tell me Bong Summoner-nim's name has become known to the world, sir?"
"Yes, it turned out that way."
Cossack blankly dropping his mouth wide open and then.
With a face as if he lost his country.
Worrying about the reunion even in this situation?
"Why? We can just go out even now."
"It's meaningless, sir."
Huu, Cossack sighing deeply and continuing his words.
"Himsomjjin, the setting of the loser who hid his power has collapsed, sir. the carbonation is gone from the cider, sir." (t/n: 힘숨찐 - acronym for loser who hides their power)
Just what kind of scenario did he write.
[World Notice : We will provide the Rune of Trait Enhancement as a congratulatory gift, one per person, to all players who reach the 91st floor of the Black Tower.]
Fortunately, I received one more special Rune of Trait Enhancement.
And since he says all the thrill is gone because my name was revealed.
'I should contact Commissioner Jeon-nim and tell him the reunion plan has been canceled.'
It was a World Notice.
A message made known to all people on Earth.
To the hof bar in Sinchon, Seoul where the Taechang High School reunion is being held as well.
Even though the attendees are only Oh Jin-sook and Jang Wan-sub's gang.
Befitting a reunion, stories of school memories came and went du-reon-du-reon.
"I'm going to the restroom for a bit."
When Oh Jin-sook stepped away saying she was going to the restroom.
"When is Shuttle Bong coming?"
"Euhyu, that loser, do you know how hard it was for me because of him?"
"I ordered him to buy cigarettes, but he stubbornly wouldn't listen."
"Understand. Isn't he a beggar punk."
Starting talking behind Bong Joo-hyuk's back.
"He's a player now, he probably made some money."
"Right. His pockets must be thick."
"I should try borrowing some money from him taking this opportunity. What is the good of friends? I can borrow some money."
"Oh! That's a good idea. But are you going to pay back the borrowed money?"
"Well... wouldn't it be difficult?"
"Heu-heu, living life, you might not be able to pay it back."
Plan to extort money and valuables.
"Now that he awakened, won't he resist?"
"Then he'll just get hit a few times by me."
"Handle him carefully, if he gets a scar for nothing it might become a problem."
"He's a player, right. He shouldn't enter the tower, so let's keep him with us for the time being."
"Shall we grab a motel room?"
Kidnapping conspiracy.
'They are really digging their own graves.'
Oh Jin-sook left her smartphone on the table when she stepped away.
So she could hear everything through her earphones.
She had the recording function turned on from the beginning.
Her own voice was also recorded and.
'Do those guys know all the conversations they are having are being recorded?'
Hatching a conspiracy against the Best Player, no less.
This is a violation of the National Security Act.
Even if they didn't know who he was before.
By the way, when is Joo-hyuk coming?
I should apologize to him separately too.
For getting him involved in something like this for no reason because of me.
Right at that moment!
Everyone inside the hof bar sharply raised their heads.
The World Notice notification sound.
"It's an entry message."
"Wow! Experiencing the 91st floor already."
"What's so great about that? I can catch up soon too."
"Oh! As expected of the talented player Jang Wan-sub."
Grand Journey, Earth survivors, blah blah blah.
[World Notice : Survivors, please send unsparing...... to the Best Player Bong Joo-hyuk.]
Bong Joo-hyuk's name appeared on the World Notice.
"Did I hear wrongly?"
"Did you guys hear it too?"
"I hear the sound Bong Joo-hyuk though."
"D, don't tell me that Bong? Bong Joo-hyuk?"
Jang Wan-sub and the gang blinking their eyes ggum-beok-geo-ri-myeo looking at each other.
On the other hand, the other customers, employees, and the restaurant owner in the bar all moved busily.
Making calls, sending texts.
"Right. It's probably someone with the same name."
"What Best Player is the loser Bong Joo-hyuk."
"No. It's that Joo-hyuk. Best Player Bong Joo-hyuk."
Oh Jin-sook walked to the table and said as she sat down.
The Bong Joo-hyuk of the World Notice is that Bong Joo-hyuk?
Jang Wan-sub with an uncomfortable expression.
"You look like you knew?"
"Why didn't you say anything?"
"It hasn't been long since I knew either. There's no need to specially tell you either."
Jang Wan-sub yelled, heavily scrunching his face.
However, Oh Jin-sook was calm.
"And you guys are in big trouble now. Since you dared to try to exercise force against the Best Player."
It seems he finally realized the gravity of the situation.
Jang Wan-sub stammering and making excuses.
"You did just now. How many listening ears are here."
"D, do you have proof?"
"Of course I do. I'm also recording with this smartphone."
Just how are things progressing right now?
Relocating from this spot for now is the best plan.
"You crazy bitch! Just you watch."
Jang Wan-sub suddenly stood up.
"Hey! Let's go out, my appetite for alcohol is gone. Let's go somewhere else and......."
Beol-tteok, beol-tteok, beol-tteok, customers and hof bar employees standing up here and there.
They blocked the exit and surrounded Jang Wan-sub's gang. One of them approached and.
"Ah-ah, I'll pay the bill and leave."
"I am not an employee here. I am from the NIS."
What in the world is this.......
"Yes? Why is the NIS?"
"We received intelligence that there was a conspiracy to terrorize the Best Player, and were lying in wait."
The gazes gathering on him.
Are all these people from the NIS?
"As of this moment, you are under emergency arrest on charges of attempted assault and kidnapping of the Best Player, and attempted extortion."
"We've already secured all the video and audio recording evidence."
"You can make your statement later."
"W, wait! P, please spare me. I, I didn't know."
"I didn't say anything. Wan-sub did it by himself."
"Please. If my parents find out, I'm dead."
Oh Jin-sook held a smirk.
They were talking big and loud just a little while ago.
Then again, how would newly joined members of society know?
They were only iljins in school, but out in society, they are at the bottom of the food chain.
Even if they don't get arrested, their player registration cancellation is confirmed.
Would the Awakening Management Agency even let them register?
Even if they mined magic crystals from the tower in the future, they probably wouldn't be able to sell them.
They wouldn't be able to go out to any foreign countries either, branded as dangerous individuals.
Their lives are ruined.
White Tower 17th floor.
The ambitiously planned reunion scenario turned into bubbles.
Still, we plan to go out on an outing.
Since all 16 of us can finally go outside.
However, Cossack still hasn't escaped the shock.
With a devastated expression, he's even spouting nonsense now.
"Vroom, the Bentley enters in front of the hof bar in the Sinchon entertainment district, sir. Then the gazes of the 21st class Taechang High School classmates are concentrated in one place, sir."
"Bong Summoner-nim getting out of the Bentley, and at the same time, the genius of techniques, Succubus, no, Mong-sook-yi, also gets out together, sir." (t/n: He gave her a Korean-style nickname)
The people listening with their ears pricked up.
"Finally, Bong Summoner-nim opens the hof bar door and enters, sir. At that time, Mong-sook-yi twists her body and says, sir. Aing, oppa, why did we come to a place like this?"
"Bong Summoner-nim replies, sir. Hold on just a bit, Mong-sook-ah. Oppa will meet his friends briefly and take you to a good place. I reserved fine dining. Okay, oppa! Mong-sook-yi will wait."
"Bong Summoner-nim checks the time looking at the 1 billion won wristwatch, sir. And then he says to his classmates, sir. Guys, sorry, did you wait long?"
"The face of the iljin loser villain Jang Wan-sub rots, sir. Eek, what is this punk? He came riding a Bentley? How much does that wristwatch cost? Eu-eum, g, girlfriend is......."
Is he in a state of self-division because the shock of the plan failing was too big?
"S, so pretty, it's driving me crazy. That eye smile, someone like Bong Joo-hyuk is dating a girlfriend like that? I can steal her. I will steal her."
"The iljin trash villain Jang Wan-sub is blinded by jealousy, sir. Ultimately, he even commits an act he shouldn't do. Hey! You're too arrogant! Come here. Let's start after you take a hit."
Suddenly standing up and even acting it out in reality.
"Bong Summoner-nim's eyes turn sharp, sir. However, he is a person who doesn't have the leisure to care even about this kind of villain, sir. How merciful of a person is he, sir? Generously forgiving and exactly the moment he is about to leave!"
The acting reaching its climax.
"The villain rushes at him, sir. Hey, you son of a bitch! However, Bong Summoner-nim is calm, sir. Swishing his right hand like shooing away a fly with an annoyed expression! When he swings it."
Cossack's palm exploding on Gobang's face.
"The villain loser goes flying and crashes into the wall, sir. The gang gets angry and calls the police, sir. Exactly at that time, Commissioner Jeon Gwang-il, who happened to visit the hof bar."
The Awakening Management Agency Commissioner coincidentally appearing at a hof bar?
"He sees Bong Summoner-nim and bows his head deeply, sir. Wait, isn't this the elite player Mr. Bong Joo-hyuk? Ah! It's you, Commissioner-nim. Why are the police... I had a little altercation with my friend."
This is driving me crazy.
"The Commissioner turning cold, looking at Jang Wan-sub's gang, a punk whose talent is so lowly, how dare you treat our precious elite player-nim carelessly? And then looking at the police, Arrest these punks immediately!"
How many roles is he playing alone?
"Jang Wan-sub's gang trembles in fear, sir. They bow their heads saying they were wrong, sir. They were pathetic punks, they weren't even worth dealing with, sir. To the point of regretting attending the reunion."
But why did you tell me to go?
"Bong Summoner-nim abruptly leaving taking along Mong-sook-yi who is ceaselessly acting cute, the classmates watching that retreating figure. Jin-sook's expression also turns dreamy, sir. So cool!"
Was it that kind of plan?
'I'm glad I didn't go.'
Still, the summoned entities who were listening seemed deeply genuinely impressed.
Jjak-jjak-jjak-jjak-jjak-jjak!
He even received applause.
Anyway, the name of the Best Player known through the World Notice.
It brought an immense repercussion to the whole world.
