Solo Resurrection

Chapter 35 – Revenge (2)

“Yes. I will send support.”

Finishing the annoying call with Jeong Eui-hyeon, Choi Min-jun stood up from his seat.

“Should we send additional support to Bait?”

At his subordinate’s words, Choi Min-jun frowned.

“Forget it. There’s no point in supporting that trash anymore.”

“If Jeong Eui-hyeon dies, Chairman Jeong Sang-soo won’t sit still.”

At the mention of Chairman Jeong Sang-soo, Choi Min-jun’s eyes sank coldly.

“So? Are you saying I should crawl while watching that old man’s face?”

“No, I’m sorry…”

Realizing his mistake, the subordinate bowed his head and apologized.

“Fine. Just continue with what you were doing. And look for new sources of funding too.”

“Understood.”

One week later.

Bait Guild’s activities had decreased to the point where anyone could notice something was wrong.

-What’s going on with Bait these days? They keep clearing farming-only dungeons.

-I know. It seems like they’re not managing what’s left and abandoning it.

-For real, I heard rumors yesterday and went with guild members, but the dungeon was empty. We hit the jackpot that day and each got 300. Sweet~

-What’s up with those money-hungry guys?

-I know someone who’s an executive in Bait Guild, and they said someone is going around terrorizing guild members.

-The above comment is delusions, but it feels good.

Bait Guild was a large guild that ranked in the top three in terms of pure number of members.

News that such a guild was collapsing spread instantly on the internet.

However, no one knew exactly what the true facts were.

“Hey.”

Kang Hyeon, who was checking the internet posts, called An Yu-seong.

“I think we need to wrap this up soon.”

“You want to end it already?”

An Yu-seong made a regretful expression at the words to end it now when they were in the middle of enjoying it.

“People are starting to notice. We should end it without making it bigger.”

“Then, should we just storm into the guild office?”

“How many of those guys are there? If we’re not careful, you and I could get hurt too.”

“Hmm… Then what do you want to do?”

At An Yu-seong’s question, Kang Hyeon smiled slyly.

“We need to set up a stage to deliver one last big blow.”

That night.

A mysterious note arrived for Jeong Eui-hyeon.

Tomorrow evening at 8 PM.

The dungeon ‘Dysrupin‘s Forest’ in Seosan, Anyang City

Come if you still want to save the guild.

After reading the note, Jeong Eui-hyeon crumpled it in one go.

“What is this…?”

“It’s a note addressed to you, Guild Master.”

Kim Hyeon-woo answered quickly to Jeong Eui-hyeon’s question.

“Who’s asking that because they don’t know!?”

“I’m sorry…”

Unable to contain his rising anger, Jeong Eui-hyeon slammed the desk.

-Crack!

The desk, newly replaced after being broken last time, shattered once again without fail.

“You dare to play with me? Come out if you want to save the guild…?”

Jeong Eui-hyeon’s eyes flashed with madness.

“How many can you gather by 8 PM tomorrow?”

“Currently, about 300 guild members are located nearby, but…”

“…”

“I’m not sure how many will actually show up…”

“What do you mean by that?”

Guild members are supposed to come when I say come, and go when i say go.

An answer like ‘I don’t know how many will gather’ shouldn’t exist.

“After the series of attack incidents, many guild members have been leaving. Some have even cut off all contact…”

Because of their illegal activities, all Bait Guild members are prohibited from leaving once they join.

Every guild member was held by at least one weakness, and those who left despite this were being thoroughly dealt with.

“How did you manage the guild, that people are running away?! I told you to crush everything, family or whatever, for such people!”

“Well… There are too many people leaving. If we give orders to attack fellow guild members when things are already unstable, I don’t know what will happen.”

Jeong Eui-hyeon closed his eyes at Kim Hyeon-woo’s words.

“Haa…”

He didn’t know where things had gone wrong.

From the day the world changed and dungeons appeared, everything in front of him had been smooth sailing.

He no longer received contemptuous glances from his family members.

He didn’t have to be frustrated about not inheriting the company.

The guild was his kingdom, and he was the king within it.

‘I can’t live without the guild now.’

After finishing his thoughts, Jeong Eui-hyeon opened his mouth.

“Kim Hyeon-woo.”

“Yes, Guild Master.”

“I don’t care how much money it takes. Use whatever means necessary to gather all the guild members.”

“Understood.”

The next evening.

About a hundred fully armed ability users gathered at the D-rank dungeon ‘Dysrupin’s Forest’.

“Where’s Choi Min-jun?”

“We can’t reach him.”

Contrary to his promise to provide support, the bastard didn’t offer any help.

He had abandoned them.

‘It doesn’t matter. I expected this anyway.’

From today, the Bait Guild will rise again.

Choi Min-jun, and his half-brothers.

And others who had subtly disrespected and looked down on him.

Now he will grow to ensure that no one can look down on him anymore.

“What time is it now?”

“8:03 PM.”

“Those bastards. How dare they be late for the appointment time.”

Jeong Eui-hyeon frowned and stomped his foot.

“Don’t you hear something?”

It was then.

“What sound?”

“Something like dogs barking…”

Suddenly, the guild members started murmuring. Soon after, as the guild member said, Jeong Eui-hyeon’s ears also began to hear something.

“What is this…”

The sound was gradually getting louder.

“Woof! Woof!”

“Awooo!!!”

As dust clouds rose from inside the forest, the identity of the sound became clear.

“What is that?!”

“Monsters! Everyone, prepare!”

An enormous number of Dysrupin, clearly over 200, were running madly towards them.

And at the forefront of them, a man in familiar armor was running.

“Kang Hyeon! I suspected it might be you, and it really was!”

In both hands of Kang Hyeon, who was running at the front, something was heavily clutched.

Jeong Eui-hyeon furrowed his brow and looked closely to identify what it was.

As the distance gradually decreased, he could finally see what Kang Hyeon was holding.

“Baby Dysrupin…?”

The large backpacks in both hands were packed full of baby Dysrupin.

Then, suddenly, Kang Hyeon took out one baby Dysrupin and threw it into the air.

“Magic Explosion!”

-Kwang!

The baby Dysrupin hit by the skill shattered in mid-air.

Bits of flesh and blood splattered on the bodies of the Dysrupins running behind.

“Grrr-woof!”

“Woof, woof!”

Jeong Eui-hyeon could understand why the Dysrupins were chasing after Kang Hyeon with their eyes rolled back.

“That crazy bastard…”

Not only had he kidnapped their children en masse, but he was also blowing them up and killing them right before their eyes.

Any creature would go mad seeing such a sight.

“Go! Dysrupin!”

Finally, Kang Hyeon, who had come right up close, threw the backpacks with all his might.

As the floating backpacks opened all at once, baby Dysrupins poured out in mid-air.

The guild members blankly stared at the absurd scene unfolding before their eyes.

“Maintain formation!”

At Jeong Eui-hyeon shout, the guild members who had gathered their wits took their positions.

“Magic Explosion! Magic Explosion!”

Kang Hyeon, creating magic spheres in both hands, frantically threw them forward to clear a path, and in an instant, he plunged between the guild members.

-Kwagwagwang!

Simultaneously, over 200 Dysrupin crashed into the guild members like a tsunami.

“Guild Master! Please retreat for now!”

Despite Kim Hyeon-woo’s words, Jeong Eui-hyeon just stood there in disbelief.

“Heh heh…”

In the sudden melee, guild members were dying pathetically.

In fact, with his 100 guild members, they could have fended off that many Dysrupin with little damage.

However, due to Kang Hyeon in their midst, the damage became uncontrollably large.

“Arghh!”

-Crack!

Kang Hyeon was completely a wolf rampaging among sheep.

Every time his sword swung, a guild member died, cut through their armor, and the Dysrupin were completely bisected.

“Kuhahaha!”

Whatever was so amusing, Kang Hyeon laughed boisterously as he swung his sword.

“Guild Master, please move to…”

“What difference does it make if I move?”

Jeong Eui-hyeon cut off Kim Hyeon-woo’s words in a calm tone.

“It’s all over.”

He could no longer hope for his father’s support.

No, even if support was offered, he didn’t have the confidence to accept it.

It was obvious that other family members would watch that scene as if looking at insects…

“That’s right. Where are you trying to go? It’s over now.”

Suddenly, a playful voice was heard from behind Jeong Eui-hyeon.

As he turned around, a familiar face appeared.

A handsome young man, like a celebrity on TV. However, his exterior decoration and the atmosphere he exuded overwhelmed his appearance.

It was An Yu-seong.

“I see… So you were in on it too.”

“It just happened to turn out that way.”

Jeong Eui-hyeon felt rather at ease when he thought it was completely over.

“Remember this. You guys can’t keep running like this forever.”

“Seeing you spout nonsense, it seems like it’s time for you to die. I’ll help you with that.”

“…”

“I’ve wanted to smash your head since long ago, brother.”

An Yu-seong playfully rotated his wrist while holding a mace.

‘Is this what they call your life flashing before your eyes…?‘

The past 36 years of Jeong Eui-hyeon’s life flashed through his mind like a panorama.

‘It was truly a dog’s life. Kuk.’

With the giant mace approaching right up to his nose, Jeong Eui-hyeon’s memories were cut off.

“Whew! Wasn’t that fun?”

“Tsk tsk. You madman.”

Kang Hyeon clicked his tongue at An Yu-seong’s words.

“Anyway, it’s over.”

“That’s right. I’m a bit disappointed it’s over already.”

In front of them lay numerous corpses of ability users and monsters.

“Status window.”

▫Name: Kang Hyeon

▫Title: Tutorial Graduate and 1 other

▫Level: 49

▫Detailed Stats:

Strength 26 (+2.5)(+2)

▫Skills: Roar of the Enraged Lion(C), Advanced Bodily Regeneration(A), Bisection (D), Giant’s Strength(B), Magic Explosion(D), Wayne’s Secret Technique(E), Entria’s Outer Shell(F).

Kang Hyeon distributed his stats after confirming that the level he had lost due to death last time was restored and had increased by one more.

He smiled contentedly as he looked at the newly acquired lowest-grade body technique and the upgraded Bisection.

“Did you level up?”

“Yeah.”

[You have acquired the title ‘Cruel Family Destroyer’]

Kang Hyeon, who was answering An Yu-seong’s question, made a surprised expression when he saw the message that popped up.

“What? I even got a title…?”

“What title?”

“Cruel Family… No, wait.”

“…?”

Leaving An Yu-seong with a puzzled look, Kang Hyeon hurriedly checked the title.

Cruel Family Destroyer: It’s a prejudice that monsters don’t have families. A title given ‘only to you’ who have destroyed countless families in an astonishingly cruel way.

Effect: Strength +2, Dysrupin hostility. The title holder instinctively inspires fear in others.

“What kind of shitty title is this…”

Something went wrong.

Kang Hyeon couldn’t take his eyes off the phrase ‘only to you’ that was particularly emphasized in the system message.

“What is it?”

“…”

Kang Hyeon ignored An Yu-seong’s words and fell into thought.

‘They said that even if you don’t equip a title, 50% of its effect is applied…’

His impression was already fierce enough. But now it seems he’ll even inspire instinctive fear.

‘Am I being told not to live a normal life? Why is it just me getting this crap?’

“Damn it…”

Thinking of the administrator who must be watching from somewhere, Kang Hyeon spat out a curse.

“By the way, what level are you?”

“I just became 49.”

Since there was no particular reason to hide it from An Yu-seong, Kang Hyeon told him straight.

“That’s high. I just became 45.”

“It’s not that much difference.”

“You’re the first person I’ve met with a higher level than me.”

“Is that so.”

In fact, Kang Hyeon’s level should have exceeded 50. However, there had been several deaths after level 20, and his level was inevitably lowered each time he resurrected.

“Anyway, what do we do with this?”

As many as 100 Bait Guild members died, and an enormous amount of items poured out.

Since they were already famous for looting, it seemed that each person had more items than Kang Hyeon.

“Well, there are a lot in numbers, but nothing particularly substantial.”

“You take it all. I don’t need it.”

“I know you’re a rich kid, you bastard.”

For now, Kang Hyeon decided to collect the items. No matter how crappy they looked, items were expensive.

If he combined the items he had taken from the Bait Guild members so far and what he got today, it would be enough to start a business.

“Should I really start an item business…”

After becoming able to clear dungeons alone, Kang Hyeon had given up on his greed for money. But this incident slightly changed his mind.

‘To gather forces, you need money.’

There’s a limit to being strong alone.

Even this time, without Kim Tae-soo’s help, it wouldn’t have been easy to pull off something like this.

‘If I had a strong force, there might not have been such a dispute in the first place.’

The reason Kang Hyeon wanted to become stronger than anyone else was nothing special.

He wanted to protect his family and didn’t want to live being disrespected anymore.

“Hey. What do you think about me creating a guild?”

“If you create one, of course I’ll join.”

An Yu-seong answered without a moment’s hesitation to Kang Hyeon’s words.

“Why would you join of course?”

At Kang Hyeon’s question, An Yu-seong grinned.

“My intuition tells me.”

“Tells you what?”

“That more interesting things will happen if I stick with you.”

Hanseok Group’s chairman’s office.

Chairman Jeong Sang-soo glared at the man, Choi Min-jun, sitting arrogantly in front of him.

“How are you going to take responsibility for this?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Choi Min-jun said with an indifferent expression. Jeong Sang-soo’s voice rose at that nonchalant response.

“You clearly said you would take responsibility for raising Jeong Eui-hyeon. So I gave you money. But look at the situation now!”

It had been a week since they had lost contact with Jeong Eui-hyeon. Given the circumstances so far, it seemed clear that he was dead.

“If you hadn’t enticed my son, this wouldn’t have happened!”

“So what do you want to say to me?”

“You insolent bastard… If you’ve done wrong, you should pay the price.”

At Jeong Sang-oo-soo’s words, about a dozen men around him pulled out their weapons.

“Hah… Pay the price?”

“Yes!”

“I created the largest guild in Korea with a trash who had no ability… This is ridiculous.”

Choi Min-jun -chuckled and lowered his head.

“Kill him!”

As soon as Jeong Sang-soo -shouted, men from all directions rushed towards Choi Min-jun.

“Ugh!”

“What is this?!”

However, the men couldn’t take even a single step.

No matter how much they trembled and exerted force, they could barely move a finger.

On top of that, they couldn’t even breathe due to the feeling of their necks gradually being squeezed.

“Look here, Chairman Jeong Sang-soo.”

Treating the men like wallpaper, Choi Min-jun -approached Chairman Jeong Sang-soo-oo.

“We clearly had a contract, and I was fulfilling the contract without any problems. What’s with this filthy act?”

“You, you…!”

Choi Min-jun came right up to Jeong Sang-soo face.

“If you spout such nonsense again next time, I won’t let it slide. Do you understand?”

“You bastard…!”

When Jeong Sang-soo -soodidn’t answer and just glared at him, Choi Min-jun -grabbed his neck.

“Urgh!”

“Answer me. Do you understand?”

“Guh! I, I understand!”

After looking down at Jeong Sang-soo struggling for a moment, Choi Min-jun threw him to the floor.

“Kheuk, huh, huk!”

Jeong Sang-soo-soo, fallen on the floor, breathed roughly.

“Pay the promised money by today.”

“…”

Unable to look at Choi Min-jun-, Jeong Sang-soo reluctantly nodded.

Seeing this, Choi Min-jun -left the chairman’s office without any lingering attachment.

“Kheuk!”

“Huh, huh!”

Only then, released from the restraint, the employees fell to the floor, breathing heavily.
