Chapter 409

– A win by default?

– What is this;

– We're seeing all sorts of things in the first year of the Space League opening lol

World Tree Elf 55, who was ranked 1st in the Bronze League.

With Seong Jihan, they thought they would win, but a fierce battle was expected depending on the presence or absence of bans.

When Yggdrasil's avatar descended during the 1st match and the opposing species disappeared after that, the viewers were bewildered.

And,

= Ah… It says all opposing players have been annihilated!

= Is it because of Yggdrasil who descended on the opposing team earlier? The power of World Tree Elf 55 suddenly disappeared.

= If this happens… Will they be able to recover in the future league progression?

= I don't know. I can't say for sure how it will turn out, but it will be difficult for them to recover for a while, right?

As it was displayed that all players of World Tree Elf 55 were annihilated, humanity was forcibly given the victory.

The commentators were dumbfounded by the current situation, but they were predicting what would happen in the future.

– Is this the price of the Green Administrator descending??

– I thought it was nothing because she was only talking nonsense in the chat, but the opposing species went extinct just from briefly showing herself lol

– Really… But did she really just level him up after coming? I couldn't see much conversation.

– Yeah, even watching Seong Jihan's channel, there wasn't much talk.

– The game did end a bit later than usual. She must have done something while disappearing?

In the chat, they thought Yggdrasil, who was always proposing and getting criticized, wasn't that great of a being.

But seeing the aftermath of the Administrator descending, people realized how high Yggdrasil's status was.

And,

'They ended up ruined…'

Seeing that all the players belonging to World Tree Elf 55 disappeared, Seong Jihan thought.

'But even though I killed the Administrator's avatar that caused such a result, it's not considered an amazing achievement?'

Probably because it was close to Yggdrasil letting herself be killed.

That 'amazing achievement' didn't even budge.

'Then what do I have to clear?'

The amazing achievement required to become a Temporary Administrator.

But there was no detailed information about the conditions for that.

'I don't think defeating a Constellation will be enough…'

If a Constellation isn't enough, the next is a Great Constellation.

Is it telling him to defeat a Great Constellation with this body before becoming a Constellation?

'Well, I need to show at least that much for them to propose the position of Administrator, even if temporary…'

The Administrator position at the very top of the BattleNet pyramid.

No matter how temporary, to jump there at once would require that much achievement.

Seong Jihan was deep in thought while watching the Space League match that ended in an instant up to the 3rd match.

"Jihan, aren't you going?"

"Ah, yeah, We should go."

Yoon Sejin approached and spoke to Seong Jihan, who was like that.

"The match ended easily today."

"Yggdrasil's descent must have been that much of a blow to the World Tree Elves."

"If they maintain that state, World Tree Elf 55 will definitely be last place in the league."

"We still need to prepare in case they revive as if nothing happened."

"Right. Anyway, they're a species backed by an Administrator."

Yoon Sejin, who was exchanging words with Seong Jihan like that,

Glanced around and lowered his voice to Seong Jihan.

"By the way, Jihan. Seah's behavior has been strange these days… Do you know anything?"

"Seah was like that?"

"Yeah, she keeps hesitating to tell me something…"

Seong Jihan fell into thought for a moment while looking at Yoon Sejin, who was stroking his chin as if troubled.

'It would be good to send brother-in-law to the other world too if possible.'

Although his sister Seong Jiah said Yoon Seah could subjugate the Demon King even if she went to the other world,

That's when her power is maintained.

Once they actually escape there, it was unknown what would happen.

Of course, the Lost Soul will go together.

It seemed better for safety if Yoon Sejin escaped too.

'Did they say it's not possible because he's human?'

They said you have to change species to move, and you need to show evolution like Yoon Seah's protruding ears to change species.

"I'll tell you about Seah's issue when we get home. But brother-in-law, do you have any changes from species evolution? Like Seah's protruding ears."

"Me? Well. I don't feel anything except being healthier."

Yoon Sejin, who couldn't find any notable changes even after evolving when asked just in case.

Then he's disqualified from the conditions for escaping to the other world from here.

However,

'…I feel like that's because of the Lost Soul's influence.'

He said you can't be human to cross the void gate.

Thinking coldly, even Seong Jihan evolved but didn't his human body not change?

Since they initially decided to escape together, wouldn't he be disqualified too with that condition?

'Saying brother-in-law can't go may be because of the accumulated ill feelings.'

The Taiji's Lost Soul, who only has memories of being betrayed by Yoon Sejin, may be like that.

Even Seong Jihan gnashed his teeth at Yoon Sejin just with memories from the previous life.

The Taiji's Lost Soul must have an enormous overlap of such memories.

Even if the current Yoon Sejin repents and devotes himself to Yoon Seah, it won't be able to acknowledge him.

'I need to clearly check if it's really not possible before escaping.'

And before that,

He would need to explain the situation to some extent to Yoon Sejin.

"Shall we go home and talk for now?"

"Okay. Seah said she's having dinner with the archer players. Let's go first."

"Yes. Let's do that."

* * *

"…This is my sister and the Lost Soul's plan."

"I see. Escape…"

Yoon Sejin, who heard Seong Jihan's explanation after returning home, fell into deep thought.

"What does Jihan think? Does that seem safe?"

"I'm not certain, but it'll be better than here."

"…Is it that dangerous here? Rather, the current situation seems better than the BattleNet tutorial period."

During the tutorial period, many people died or lost their homes due to dungeon portal monsters.

Rather, these days after entering the main game, they're recovering the taken land by eliminating dungeon portals.

The ranking within the league has also risen, so dungeons themselves are being generated less.

On top of that, humanity even experienced evolution, so it was a situation that could be called the golden age.

Yoon Sejin couldn't understand why they were taking refuge during this golden time.

"Even if it's peaceful now, a dangerous moment will come. We just need to take refuge for a bit then."

"…I see. Jihan's words must be right. Jihan has never been wrong."

"What about brother-in-law coming together?"

"Me too?"

"Yes."

"…"

Yoon Sejin, who was pondering deeply at Seong Jihan's words,

"What did Jiah say?"

"She said you can't go because there was no change during species evolution, but I'm going to try persuading her."

"Looks like she said not to take me for now."

He smiled bitterly at Seong Jihan's words.

"I did do a lot of terrible things… Of course, even if it was because of brainwashing, the wrongs I committed in the past haven't disappeared."

"Well…"

"Besides, I've already disappointed many people."

Yoon Sejin approached the window and looked at the night view.

The splendid scenery of downtown Gangnam could be seen directly.

He took in the sparkling city with his eyes and continued.

"When the expectations for me were high in the motherland, I crossed the sea and went to Japan. I still feel guilty about the disappointment and despair I gave people then."

"…"

"In the Sword King Family, unfortunately, there were several people who committed suicide…"

The Sword King Family, the fan club of the Sword King.

Now they're pushed down by Seong Jihan's popularity, but there was a time when it was said that if you're Korean, you naturally had to join the Sword King Family.

But when he suddenly went to Japan and spewed extreme remarks,

There were many people who couldn't overcome the shock of their idol's betrayal and made extreme choices.

"I have no shame to escape to another world too."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. If Jiah and Jihan go together, there's no need for me to follow, right?"

Seong Jihan nodded, seeing Yoon Sejin's will was firm.

Personally, he wanted Yoon Sejin to go with Yoon Seah.

But with his own will like that, it couldn't be helped.

At that moment,

Beep. Beep beep.

The sound of the front door opening was heard.

Yoon Seah, whose face was bright red, entered the house.

"Uncle!!"

"Did you drink?"

"Hehe. I'm an adult too, so what!"

"Seah. How much did you even drink… It's not easy for a player to get drunk."

"That's why the unnies only gave me strong alcohol!"

She ran to Seong Jihan,

Looked at him with hazy, loose eyes, and hugged him tightly.

"I, I. I made up my mind! I won't go!"

"Really?"

"What's the point of me running away alone! To live with aliens in another world? I won't go. I won't go!"

Yoon Seah, who buried her face in Seong Jihan's arms,

Swish.

Looked around, found Yoon Sejin, and grinned.

"Heh, Dad was here too?"

"I was here the whole time… You only saw Uncle?"

"Hey, that's not it…!"

When Yoon Sejin said that, feeling left out seeing Yoon Seah running to her uncle before her dad,

Swish!

Yoon Seah, who separated from Seong Jihan, hugged Yoon Sejin this time.

"I won't leave Dad and Uncle and go to another world!"

"…How much did they make you drink? I need to have a word with Yeonjoo."

"Yes! How can I leave Yeonjoo unnie, the leader of our team, and go!"

When the name of Ha Yeonjoo, the leader of the Archer Squad, came up, Yoon Seah rambled even more about not going.

She kept saying she won't go for a long time like that.

Then, as if coming to her senses,

She looked at Seong Jihan with a startled face.

"Ah, Uncle… This. Was I not supposed to say this? To Dad?"

"I already did. He said he's not going either."

"Really? As expected of Dad! I'll! I'll stay too!"

When Yoon Sejin said he knew, Yoon Seah was relieved and shouted several times that she would never take refuge.

'Persuasion seems impossible.'

Until now, she seemed to keep worrying, but after getting drunk, Yoon Seah revealed her true feelings like this.

She seemed firm about not wanting to flee to another world.

Then well.

'Words won't persuade her.'

Seong Jihan thought so and smiled brightly on the outside.

"Okay. I got it."

"You got it? Then I don't have to go?"

"Yes. How can I forcibly send you to another world when you say you won't go?"

"Really? Really? I really don't have to go?"

"Yes, really. I'll tell my sister and the Lost Soul separately."

"Wow…!"

When Seong Jihan said that, relief spread across Yoon Seah's face.

"Whew… Telling me to run away alone is stressful… How can I leave my family and friends and go."

"I told you to think of it as a trip."

"What trip! I clearly know you're making me take refuge…! Anyway, you're really not sending me? Really?"

"Yes yes. I won't send you."

"Phew…"

At Seong Jihan's confirmation, Yoon Seah let out a sigh of relief.

Since she received such confirmation from her uncle,

Now the escape to another world would become a nonissue.

"I'm sleepy now that I'm relieved… I'll go to sleep…"

"Okay. Go in and rest."

As soon as Seong Jihan finished speaking, Yoon Seah went to wash up.

Yoon Sejin glanced at Seong Jihan while looking at his daughter like that.

"…Do you really not intend to send her?"

"Who knows."

Seong Jihan just smiled.

"Doesn't seem like you have such intentions."

Yoon Sejin let out a small sigh, seeing that expression.

And time passed, on the promised day with Taiji's Lost Soul.

[You came.]

"Yeah, open the gate. Let's start."

Seong Jihan arrived at the abyss.

"…"

With Yoon Seah, who fell asleep with pressure points struck, in tow.
