Arriving at Gangnam the air was different, people were everywhere and there were what seemed to be businesses and banks. Coins were being moved all over the place, 100s there and 1000s there. The adaptability of all these people shocked me, I never believed there would be so many that could survive in a world like this.
I felt bad having to take control over so many joyous people but it was to survive, if I can't become more powerful I can't make it in this world. I began to infiltrate the station, by staying in the shadows and avoiding eye contact I was able to get to the Flag Holder. It was heavily guarded by people with swords and armor.
I dropped a coin on the ground and caught the attention of a guard, when he got close enough I pulled him behind a wall and knocked him out. One down, about 6 to go.
One by one I take them out, then finally the last one is down. I enter through the curtain only to find a man sitting in front of the opening.
"Hello Yoo Joonghyuk, I am here to stop you." the man said with a flair of confidence in his voice. I peered behind him at the flag, and it was pitch black. "I won't fight you quite yet, i'll allow you to leave right now and return with your flag, then i'll forgive you for this incident ." I see, he got this Pitch Black Flag by intimidating others, it also explains the huge number of people in the station, "No way." I respond, he got up and held up his hand, "Well, I warned you." He snapped his fingers and 10 Guards funneled into the room.
I thought I had knocked them out, but I suppose I was wrong, they were clearly awake. I took a fighting stance and began to prepare, they began to charge at the same time making it hard to dodge. I kick one in the head with the Sprint skill and knocked him out. He then got straight back up. That should be impossible, I have a Strength Stat of 20, the Sprint Skill, and the bonuses from Pro Gamer.
I grabbed the guard and pinned him to a wall, I strapped him to it with rope and continued to do this with all the guards. The man's face began to warp in fear as his guards were easily taken down by this one man. He snapped his fingers again and 10 more guards came into the room, I took a look at the guards to find a source of their resilience and that's when I pieced it together.
Mind Control.
