Volume 20. Chapter 2. -Solo Leveling -(i alone level-up)

Volume 20. Chapter 2.

Only I am at the maximum level. My first name was Antares. I was the “First Lord” born of darkness. I was also called the “Strongest Lord.” I was the king who ruled all dragons, an entity that symbolized horror and destruction. And that’s true. Everyone who knew me called me “Dragon Emperor” in respect and admiration. But something strange happened. I was inside the space between the dimensions. One day, when I, together with my ten-millionth army, was preparing for an invasion of a planet called Earth… … I opened my eyes and found that now I dwell in the human body. “…” And for an inexplicable reason, it looked like I also retained all the memories of this man. I quickly found a mirror in the corner of the room and looked at myself. Then he let out a startled sigh. “What is this?

Why does this person’s face look so pathetic?

” Ha ha, how pitiful was this man. His name was Song Jin Woo, he was a young man acting like a Level E Hunter in a country called the Republic of Korea. Everything looked as if this man had not abandoned the life of a hunter. Even though his miserable level of ability quite often led him to the brink of death. “His reason… mother’s illness?

”

-I realized, rummaging in his memory. Of course, I immediately thought that some minor illness could be instantly cured with the help of my magic. But then this man’s mobile phone vibrated loudly. * brrr brrr I found a miniature electronic device that vibrated violently on the table and picked up the phone. When I did this, I heard an excited female voice from the other end of the line.

-Hunter Song-nim, where are you?

It’s almost raid time, but you still haven’t arrived… I tried to match this voice with the memories of this human body. And soon I came across the result: “An employee of the hunters” association.” “Hmm.” I thought to immediately end the call. Because such an action was a habitual reaction for this body, but then what this woman said somewhat got on my nerves.

-Are you late again?

“. !

!

!

” “To be late,” you need to see what this means.

-Yeah!

It’s a failure to keep the promised time frame due to the inability to arrive on time… Which meant that this woman just dared to ask me, the mighty “Dragon Emperor”, the personification of divine power, that I would do something that would be familiar my worthlessness. Since this was completely unacceptable, rage quickly vanished my eyes.

-You… Where are you now?

-I asked her a question.

-What do you mean, “where”?

You know, we’re right in front of the Gate. And why did you stop being so polite so abruptly, hunter Song Jin Woo-nim?

The woman continued her annoying speech. I concentrated for a moment to find out the exact location from which this impudent person spoke. My sensory perception expanded to cover the whole city. And soon I easily found out her coordinates.

-Found.

-Excuse me?

What do you mean

-“find…”. * click By human standards, that place was eleven kilometers away, and since I was not very far away, I ran there with all my might. And he arrived at the place in just a couple of seconds. And then I stopped right in front of this employee of the association. She was just taking the phone away from her ear, since the call was disconnected.

-Now I’m still late, woman?

I asked. “Oh-hunter-nim?

!

?

” It is possible that she felt a little bit of my boundless power, as she began to retreat. Horror was read on her face. I reached out and grabbed her by the shoulders, as if to make sure that she would not run away. And he asked again.

-Tell me. Am I late now?

“N-no, not at all,” she muttered. “Very good,” I let her go. A satisfied expression appeared on my face. Then I turned my eyes to the surroundings and saw a group of hunters nearby, who got a little crazy. Instead of examining the appearance of these minor personalities and their unforgettable faces, I focused on a certain aroma. He proceeded from the paper cups they held in their hands. “Coffee… I also want to drink coffee,” I turned back to the instantly turned pale worker. She bent her mill with all sincerity

-M-I’m really sorry, hunter-him. We just ran out of coffee… “It’s not a problem,” I grinned. “Excuse me?

”

-before she could raise her head again, I went to the nearest person and took his paper cup away.

-What are you doing?

!

* glp glp In one swallow I swallowed a sweetish liquid and grimaced. Apparently, I had a rather formidable look. Because the man who had lost his coffee, who had previously stood with an embarrassed look, jumped up in fright and quickly ran away.

-Ha hah!

-the one who possessed more power took away what the weak possessed. This was the approach of the Overlords to any question. It seemed that such logic was also applied to people, and from this I definitely got a little more alive.

-Mr. Dream… Is he a little strange today, don’t you?

-Yes, today his eyes are a little…

-Well, from the moment he appeared, I feel something very eerie, frightening from him. The rest of the hunters whispered among themselves behind my back. But I still had no need to pay attention to the opinions of these pathetic little people, so I immediately ignored them.

-So, that’s it. Since everyone has gathered, let’s get started. While the hunters were flexing their muscles, preparing for the raid, I turned my eyes to the “Gates”, which, according to the schedule, these people were supposed to enter. ” …”,

-this place, it… was very suspicious. These Gates that appeared on Earth were, without a doubt, a trick of the Lords, but… Why did I feel the Aura of the Lord coming from there?

had to explore it. With a sharp hawkish look, I looked at this Gate. Then he stood behind the hunters, who were preparing to enter.

-I will go too.

-K-of course, you need to come with us, hunter Sleep. Probably they too felt this terrifying and chilling atmosphere that came from inside the Gate. Now these hunters also stood with embarrassed faces. I escorted them and crossed the threshold of the portal. * boom bang bum pum Of course, I started sending these fake monsters to hell to hide the true meaning of this dungeon. The rest of the hunters, observing my actions, began to show me their respect.

-Doesn’t Mr. Sleep seriously behave strangely?

-No, well… Maybe these monsters of this dungeon are just too weak.?

-But I do not see his movements. My eyes just can’t keep track of Mr. Son… I sorted out all the monsters in an instant, and finally found a suspicious entrance.

-We’re going there. “Wait, we need to vote to solve such issues…”

-this person could not finish his sentence. Because he lost consciousness from one of my blows. * pum I looked at the collapsed old man before looking around the rest of the hunters.

-Does anyone else want to vote?

-…

-the answer was silence. The decision to enter this passage was unanimous. We walked through a seemingly endless corridor, and finally arrived at the giant door at its end.

-But how can there be a door at the end of the cave?

-Did the boss’s rooms meet before that?

with doors?

-No, this is the first…

-This… Isn’t that too dangerous?

These hunters no longer tried to hide their strong anxiety. I also felt a truly terrible aura that emanated from within. And I mentally agreed with their opinion that everything could become dangerous. And therefore, as soon as I opened this door, I grabbed the hunter who stood in front of the crowd by the collar and easily threw him inside.

-Uhhhh?

!

-the thrown idiot stretched out in an unsightly way on the floor. But, contrary to the initial unrest, nothing happened. Only now, making sure that it was safe to enter, did I go inside. The interior that was waiting for me was decorated like an ancient temple.

-W-what is this place?

-the rest of the hunters, after a little delay, entered after me. They began to scour around, but this only lost time. I closed my eyes for a moment and concentrated all my feelings. And soon I found a bastard who was a real puppeteer of this place.

-There he is, and the hunters quickly gathered in front of the statue of an angel holding a stone tablet, which I pointed to,

-It looks like on the tablet Is something written?

-Uh?

These are Runes!

It seems that among them there was no hunter who could read Runes. So then I read them all out loud.

-The laws of the Cartenon Temple. Although, when I started reading, someone suddenly pulled my hand. I turned around and saw behind me a young girl, pale as chalk. She pointed to something with her hand.

-Look over there, s-statue of God, she…

-Let me go,

-I shook off my hand and continued reading the writing on the tablet,

– First: worship God. Second: praise God. Third: prove your piety. Anyone who does not comply with these laws will not leave this place alive. At that very moment, two beams of crimson light were shot from the eyes of a god’s statue sitting in the corner. * zhzhik I did not bother to avoid or block these rays. I just stood proudly to face this attack in the forehead.

-You dare to underestimate the Emperor with such low power?

!

I mocked the destructive power of these rays. They didn’t even stand next to the breath that the Ancient Dragon could belch. Then I stepped forward and demonstrated what the real destruction looked like.

-Kuuuuuaaaaaaa!

-“The Breath of Destruction”, bursting out of my mouth and rushing in a straight line, completely demolished the head of this statue of God,

-This is real power. This was a signal to the beginning of the battle. The statues lined along the walls of the temple, like some kind of scenery, rushed at me, ignoring the rest of the hunters.

-well, what a bunch of impudent dolls!

I began to take turns with my bare hands to smash the heads of these statues stepping on me. * boom bum boom tydysh bumum

-Slow!

Too slow!

The hunters quickly lay on the floor to hide from all the debris that flew in all directions. Some of them even started to scream.

-Well why?

Well, why does it seem that there was a different way?

!

-But what kind of laws were these, or what was there?

!

Even before they could finish their desperate cries, big some of the statues were already facing the broken fragments with my hands. It was obvious, but still they didn’t even fulfill their role of a suitable workout for me.

-Is that all you have?

-I turned to the remaining statue. And suddenly the statue of an angel with a stone tablet rose from its place. She cried out loudly, probably outraged that all these careful preparations were useless because of my strength.

-Bastard, who the hell are you…

-Be silent!

-I grabbed a spear from one of the broken statues and threw it right at the angel. In less than a blink of an eye, the spear flashed through the bastard’s neck and it crashed to the floor. I came not here to chat with fake. I wanted to get the real identity hidden behind the curtains!

-Show yourself, coward!

-getting rid of all the interference, I roared loudly. And from this the headless statue of God silently rose from his throne. That’s better. The corners of my mouth went up when a feeling passed through my body, as if my blood was boiling. The statue of God came closer to me and, looking down at me, stopped.

-Ruler of Destruction, our paths, by the dictate of fate, should have crossed like this. Here, in this place, I will put an end to our ill-fated relationship!

-Haha!

But this is a great idea!

The statue of God quickly enveloped in a pitch-black aura. She turned into a giant shadow. I also released all my strength to cope with this huge clot of her strength. A spark of ecstasy ran through my body from my toes to the ends of my hair.

-Come on!

Our battle will not end so simply!

-Ahh?

!

-Jin-Woo rose abruptly in his bed. He saw a familiar bed, familiar wallpaper, ceiling, and his old computer. He quickly looked around and finally realized that he woke up in his room. “Was that a dream?

” It really was a nonsense dream where he became the Dragon Emperor. No, maybe it was worth saying that it was the Dragon Emperor that became him?

“Wait a minute…”

-he quickly checked the time on his phone and then sighed in relief. There was still time before the start exams. “Now, if you think about it… Four years have already passed since I got rid of the Dragon Emperor.” Time passed in the blink of an eye. And now he was about to take the entrance exam. The fact that he had such a shitty dream was a clear confirmation of how nervous he was. “Hmm,” Jin Woo grinned helplessly before getting out of bed. On this day, he was to see the fruits of his hard work and determination over the past four years. He had already decided what institute he wanted to enter. Due to the fact that one person with whom he was supposed to meet, later will have to go to the same institute. “What a relief that you are not so good at studying, Jin Ho.” Yu Jin Ho. Jin-Woo reminded himself of the name of the guy he really missed. He parted the curtains hanging on the windows. The twilight aura of dawn was slowly disappearing somewhere in the distance. “I will come there first and wait for you.”

-Jin-Woo inhaled the air of early morning, which penetrated through an open window. He was thinking about a reunion which would happen in the near future. At that very moment hasty steps rang out and the door to his room opened.

-S son, you remember that today is the day exam, huh?

“the mother’s voice was heard. ” Son, how can your father take you there, you know?

“dad offered his help. His parents could not close this eye at night, worrying that their son might miss this super important exam because he’ll sleep. Jin Woo looked at their exhausted faces and smiled softly, nodded.

-I’m ready. “Go ahead, my lord,” Jin-Woo left the house when Ikrid, whose voice sounded somewhat excited, said these words of support. What a refreshing morning it was.
