The Tutorial Is Too Hard - Chapter 372

Chapter 372 – Thanatos (2)
“Hyuuunngg…….”

Lee Jun-seok choked up.

Yong-yong will hug you without knowing. I tried to take it as usual, but I struck him with my hand.

Why is the grown-up guy doing this?

Even though Lee Jun-seok was brutally rejected, he was still moved.

The back of my nose was twitching.

It was a meaningful gift to Lee Jun-seok.

When you are struggling, there may be emotions that come from someone helping you and giving you good will.

Lee Jun-seok cleared the Tutorial and was unable to use his proper strength due to the absence of his items.

He feared that he would hurt not only the enemy, but also the people around him and himself because of his excessively strong attack power.

Many people may be impressed that he has finally recovered the power he polished for a long time in the Tutorial.

“The lightning resistance built into the gauntlet is almost at the level of immunity. In addition to the lightning resistance, there is magic to protect users, so it won’t be a problem even if you pour out your power to your heart’s content. Of course, when there are people around, you should naturally be careful using it.”

Lee Jun-seok looked at me with eyes that started getting moist, and said,

“Hyung, thank you very much.”

Lee Jun-seok expressed his gratitude, and frankly talked about his resentment of the past saying that he had been neglected for a long time and was afraid he was forgotten.

“There’s no way. I thought it was later than expected, but I always remembered you.”

“Hyung…….”

“I didn’t come late because I didn’t care about you, but I was late to make this. There was also some other work. Understand?”

“Yes, hyung.”

Ok, fine.

It’s heartwarming.

My mind was refreshed.

[The God of Death is frustrated.]

[The God of Death is urging you.]

“That’s easy.”

From a while ago, the God of Death continued to send messages.

“Can you see the messages too?”

“Uh, I can see them.”

Lee Jun-seok seemed to be looking at something similar.

It seemed as if a message came to mind from the Tutorial.

The quest window was also a quest window, but more was possible because this is the realm of the God of Death.

“Are there any other gods’ religions on this planet?”

“No. It’s almost a holy land, but it’s not a holy land. It’s such a place.”

It meant that all religions are unified as the religion of the God of Death.

In the midst of that, there were people who abandoned the doctrine of religion and wished for immortality.

As time passed, such apostles came to occupy the top of society.

Therefore, the God of Death seeked to solve the problem by hiring mercenaries from outside.

This may be the background of this world.

Looking at it like this, it really reminds me of the time when I was clearing the Tutorial stages.

“So, what is the solution?”

The God of Death requested the purification of Thanatos here.

I had to know the exact meaning of the word purification.

“It’s extinction.”

Oh, that’s nice too.

The God of Death is not afraid.

If you kill all the social leaders, there will be a lot of problems.

Of course, it’s not a problem for the God of Death.

“How is the progress?”

First, let’s hear how far Lee Jun-seok has gone here.

Lee Jun-seok began to unravel the things that had been happening here over the past few months.

*

“Hitman?”

“Yes, that is correct.”

It was an unexpected choice.

“Because there aren’t many ways I can kill the nobles.”

Noble meant the irregulars who chose the surgery to make them immortal.

It wasn’t that wrong, since only the wealthy can undergo surgery.

Anyway, it’s an assassination request.

I thought about it for a moment.

If it were me, I would have attempted terrorism by finding a place where nobles gather.

There was a clear problem with the assassination hit.

If there is no quest, you can’t kill even if you want to kill.

However, if there is no quest and you kill someone, you won’t receive quests.

Your credibility as a contractor will decrease.

Who would ask the crazy guy who kills people without a request?

Therefore, the fact that Lee Jun-seok chose assassination can only be seen as restriction by a narrow range of actions.

With or without a quest, it is very difficult to assassinate someone, and it takes a very long time.

So, there is no loss of time even if you move only when performing the quest.

“Yes, that is correct.”

Lee Jun-seok admitted coolly.

“Really?”

With Lee Jun-seok’s skills, the assassination itself would not have been difficult.

Information or preliminary work would be a bit of a problem.

“First of all, as the mission was prolonged, I needed money and a base to live in. I needed information, and above all, the assassination itself was a little…….”

“Why, are the kids here so strong?”

Do all of the targets have enough power to kill Lee Jun-seok alone?

It was surprising.

It was also quite interesting.

Lee Jun-seok is definitely strong.

He was even more so among beings who could not deal with divine power.

It is a planet where Lee Jun-suk is a rare opponent who can finally express his true colors.

“Oh, that… After I started my activities, all the nobles…….”

“Well, what.”

Lee Jun-seok blurred his works.

“Because of the non-conductive equipment.”

What equipment?

“Because the lightning doesn’t work anyway, it’s a bit difficult to kill… A little difficult for the mission…….”

I looked at Lee Jun-seok with a slight sense of absurdity.

Hey, look at the person you’re talking with.

Lee Jun-seok shouted, blushing his face, as if embarrassed.

“It’s because the technology is so excellent here!”

The excellent technology doesn’t matter.

Lightning attacks are easy to deal with because their attack methods are limited.

“I obviously told you to learn things other than lightning before, right?”

Obviously he would fail.

But Lee Jun-seok ignored my words.

It was a time when he was on the hard difficulty of the Tutorial, and he was feeling strange competitiveness toward me.

No, Pikachu also uses lightning tails.

It’s like having the guts to boldly focus only on lightning skills.

“It’s cool.”

“Is that important?”

Lee Jun-seok did not answer.

Instead, he nodded his head softly.

Yes, it’s a bit important.

[The God of Death feels impatient with your conversation!]

[The God of Death urges you to complete the quest as quickly as possible!]

“Ah, scary. Tsk, what should I do.”

“What?”

It was because of the war.

A war between Hundred Gods Temple and the Pantheon.

It was a war that was scheduled to take place right here in Thanatos.

It turned out that the war had not yet begun.

I came in a hurry to evacuate Lee Jun-seok, but if I go back hurriedly, it won’t seem right.

I am convinced that Thanatos is nothing but an excuse for war.

Whatever it is, it’s a war caused by other needs.

However, it was clear that Thanatos was the excuse and justification of the war.

How about completing the mission before the war begins in earnest?

What would occur if the possibility of a war in Thanatos was resolved in advance?

Of course, another war might happen elsewhere.

Maybe there was no war.

[Let’s complete the quest quickly.]

Oh, what, again.

The God of Hope suddenly expressed his opinion.

Recently, his sudden outbursts kept getting worse.

It wasn’t because he suddenly told his own intentions.

The God of Hope, who was constantly trying to show me his presence, constantly snarling and babbling, was weirdly silent, so I was more concerned about him saying a word in the meantime.

[Maybe we can stop the war. It may be delayed, or we may be able to reduce its scale. It is better to prevent it.]

This is surprising.

I thought the God of Hope had encouraged war, but he didn’t seem to mind.

I was thinking that he had become quiet recently because he was planning something with his incarnation in the Hundred Gods Temple.

Likewise, he suddenly told me to let him go.

The actions of the God of Hope became increasingly suspicious.

‘Doesn’t hope bloom in despair?’

[Yes. Only when despair exists can hope sprout on it.]

The God of Hope sank into silence again in the end.

I tried to summon the sunken God of Hope, but he did not respond.

*

“Jun, who is he?”

An Irregular, who endured to become an apostle here in Thanatos, which follows the doctrine of death, and was immortalized through an unidentified operation.

So the Noble asked Lee Jun-seok.

Their appearance was very impressive.

He was wearing a loose robe.

He looked like an important character coming out of Star Wars, but in fact he looked like a leader character anywhere where the Extras are.

This was an outfit with a food worker hat on his head.

As I heard from Lee Jun-seok, their appearance was not very different from humans except that the skin on their face was really translucent.

“This is my colleague.”

“Hmm, is he someone you can trust?”

The two started a conversation.

Lee Jun-seok was moving while receiving the Noble’s assassination request.

And the client was also a Noble.

Well, this would be natural if all the upper classes of society became nobles.

As if the relationship between Lee Jun-seok and that Noble had become quite good, he was having a fairly comfortable conversation.

It seemed that he had built up trust.

Tutorial challengers love this aspect.

Being an all-rounder.

Since they are tested not only in their combat abilities but also in the trivial things, they can also create allies and socialize this way.

Of course, there are cases like me who progressed while beating them all without such a thing.

I carefully reviewed the appearance of Noble.

Immortality is certainly a tremendous advantage.

Instilling divine power and making them an apostle can make them immortal, though some may not want it.

If we could immortalize the humans we know through some surgery without any risk.

Obviously it wasn’t bad.

So I was thinking of getting to know the technique.

“Hey, why didn’t you tell me? The story is a little different.”

“… Yes?”

Lee Jun-seok, who was talking with the Noble, asked, confused.

I approached slowly and took off the Noble’s food-worker hat.

There was a soft head on his translucent skin.

“You never said that one of the risks of being immortal was being bald.”

“Ah ah! What are you doing!?”

The Noble rushed to take back the food-worker hat that had suddenly been stripped off.

I ignored it and slapped him on the back of his head.

It was cold.

Rather than human skin, I felt like I touched a window.

“Ahhh!”

“Shut up.”

It’s not just baldness.

It was possible to recognize at a glance that all the pores of the scalp were wiped out by the magical reaction.

In short, he became bald because of the surgery of immortality.

“It’s still immortality, but it’s a bit too much to say that losing a little hair is a risk.”

Lee Jun-seok said naturally.

This guy is screaming as if it was a big deal.

“You, what would you choose if there was something that would increase your lifespan but would make you bald?”

It’s not even just hair loss.

It was a bizarre twist that looked like a hybrid of some kind of jellyfish and octopus because of the perfect hair loss that peeled off from end to end, and the skin of the head that became translucent.

“Well…….”

Lee Jun-seok couldn’t answer easily.

Look.

If this becomes your job, it’s never a light job.

I remembered Park Jung-ah, who became bald in my head for a moment, and then quickly erased it.

Obviously, quite a few people would probably refuse the surgery to make them immortal because they do not want to be bald.

I was sure.

“If you give up your immortality in order to not become bald, what should I call it? Death with dignity?”

“This, bastaardd! This bad bastard!”

The Noble screamed with tears in his eyes.
