Chapter 3 - Episode 2 - Chapter 3 - Recruiting The Strongest Companion (1)

All of the monsters were right here, gathered up in the middle of Seoul, and I was determined to get 1st place in the sub-scenario. The reward was 400 coins, for whoever killed the most organisms. I was currently in the lead, but I was getting greedy for more coins. I thought the best course of action would be to kill as much monsters as possible, but this was obviously flawed thinking, my mind was deluded, thinking that all I needed was coins.

I chose to hide behind a ruined building close to the monsters, and use the skill, Flame Of Destruction, to overpower the monsters in front of me. I then put my plan into action, with a sizzle noise coming out whenever a monster died. I thought everything was going according to plan. But there was a flaw in my plan I hadn't realized yet, that there may be some monsters behind me. I figured this out too late and as soon as i turned around, about 20 monsters had surrounded me. I was low on mana from using the Flame Of Destruction, and there was still a 10 minute cooldown that was in place.

"Shit..."

I knew the only way of escape was to use brute force if I wanted to stay alive.

"Attribute Window."

I bought 5 strength upgrades, which used about 40 coins, 5 agility upgrades, and 5 stamina upgrades. This used up all 120 coins I get from killing the monsters, but it was worth it. I hoped it was at least.

I could fight about 3 of them at the same time now, but this was only a small fraction of the 20 monsters surrounding me. I knew how hard it would become if I had to fight even 4 monsters, so I tried my best to fight only 3 at a time and this, of course, failed. 1 of the monsters bit off my ring finger, while the others were chomping on my leg. I started to think how horrible and useless of a life I lived, thinking of all my regrets and hoping, just hoping, I could live a little bit longer...

Then all of a sudden, all of the monsters got slashed in half of a second. The person who seemed to have killed them gave me a weird potion.

"Drink It."

I drank it, and my finger and legs were healed in a second.

"How the?"

"My names Saebyeok Han, Nice To Meet you.

I got the potion after killing a higher ranked monster than these weak wolves."

Weak? Sure I wouldn't say they were strong, but they definitely weren't weak. And there were monsters incomparable to the strength of these wolves, which overpowered me like that. And she beat it.

I knew if I wanted to survive this hellish nightmare, I would definitely need to befriend her, or at least get her to not want to kill me.

I went straight for it.

"Let's Team up, for at least till the end of the 1st scenario. I know I would be of use to you."

"Hmm, How is that?"

"I have a legendary attribute."

"What? No way. I only have a rare. What is it though, just In case?"

"The Judge Of Flames."

"I can already guess how that works, considering the name."

[ Cooldown Over For Flame Of Destruction ]

"Well then, let see how well this attribute works huh?"

She pulls out her sword, and I pull out my Katana, then the fight begins.
