Chapter 13 - Brains vs. Brawn

The man got up and brushed the rubble off his shoulders, "What a cheap trick, have you no chivalry?" Who worries about Chivalry in this day and age. When I glanced at his status board I was lucky enough to see his name, and it's as dumb as him. Lee Geunmeo. His name is literally Muscle Head.

He walked to me and took out his hand, "How about this time you actually shake my hand?" If this doofus is brave enough to risk being punched again he at least deserves a handshake. I shook his hand and as soon as he let go he swung his fist at my face, I barely dodged it and jumped back to create some distance.

He immediately charged at me and I responded in kind, we both threw kicks at each other, but my smaller physique allowed me to dodge and kick him clean in the chin. This seemed to disorient him as he stood there blankly for a few seconds and then began to move again.

Despite his large stature he still had Human weaknesses. I pulled out my sword from its scabbard and prepared to slice him, but he also had a weapon, he pulled a giant great sword from his back and got prepared as well. We rushed at each other once more and our swords clashed together, we seemed evenly matched but his strength slowly got the best of me.

He finished his swing which sent me flying into the brick walls of the station, I got up and decided to upgrade my Constitution to make sure I didn't sustain any lethal injuries.

Lv.20>

I got up and my body was covered in bruises, I could feel them healing from my increased Constitution so I decided to let him come to me so I could allow myself to recover. And as if he was reading my mind he immediately charged at me like a bull with his sword aimed at my stomach, I jumped over him and he plowed straight into the wall.

It must not have been strong enough because the wall came tumbling down after he was done with it. He emerged from the wreckage and the minute I made out his figure I threw a Paralysis Dagger at his neck, I had bought it for the Rat King but never used it. It landed squarely in his throat and he subsequently fell to the ground.

I took the knife out and began to make a deal, "Look, if you submit to me and become my ally after the King's Road I might let you live instead of dying." By submitting to another king you are essentially giving up your title, which makes you ineligible to become the Supreme King. That's also why I told him to become my ally after the scenario ended so I could bypass the standing alone condition.

"I like your guts and brains." Geunmeo said, "Alright, i'll join you, but you must promise to help me become the strongest man who ever lived." he countered, "Deal, but only second to me." I countered back, he nodded his head and a notification popped up.
