I Login Alone

Jung Si-woo pondered the familiar name. Soo Ah–rin replied briefly.

“I told you about the monsters who follow Paeto in Jeju Island. Wasn’t there a mention of Hecto?”

“Ah.”

He didn’t know a god by that name; he certainly remembered answering that. But as soon as that happened, he heard his name right here, so he guessed he’s not a nobleman either.

[As long as you have chosen that path, we will crush you with all our might!]

[Be prepared!]

He was in a situation where he wanted to ask more about Hecto, but sadly the monsters didn’t seem to give Jung Si-woo a chance. He couldn’t even complain because he had been playing hardball here.

[Die!]

Muscular, gray-skinned primates monsters rose from all over, flooding toward Jung Si-woo. Judging by the Mana, all of them were monsters above level 250! And if it was a feature…all of them were clenching their fists together!

“Oh, dozens of them, Oppa.”

“I’m holding a hammer.”

He could roughly see what Soo Ah-rin wanted to say. There must have been some connection between the brain and those that seemed to be full of muscles. Determined to question them firmly after the battle, he slightly stretched the hammer’s handle. Unprecedented power was concentrated on the hammerhead, splashing a wave of black sparks.

“Haah!”

[Gasp!]

First of all, the hammer was swung horizontally to sweep away enemies approaching from the front. If he retreated from this, they would rush from the side and attack. If he bent down, he would hit the floor with a hammer and bounce them off with a shock wave! With the potential to change in any direction, the hammer of destruction swept the ground.

[Ah!]

“…Huh?”

However, the results turned out to be different from the development that Jung Si-woo had in mind. There must have been an option to avoid it, but they rushed in a straight line and were beaten and bounced off from hammer with the determination to take it with their bodies.

[Aaaaaaaaaaah!]

[It’s st-strong!]

“What are they doing?”

“I want to ask that, too.”

No, he was sure they did do something. The moment they were beaten by a hammer swung in a direct orbit; he saw their bodies flash and hold out. But the hammer that hit them wasn’t a toy hammer, but a devil’s punishment, and it was Jung Si-woo who wielded it. It was arrogance, not confidence, to endure a fierce blow in harmony between those powers.

[An invisible force attacked me.]

[That’s his power. What a dreadful sight!]

Of course, breaking all five defensive skills was hard for Jung Si-woo, but he had great skill. The first person to attack was able to break down the defense as much as possible in a way that would transfer the blow to the rest of the guys. The result was this now.

[Wooh, I can’t believe you’ve destroyed all five of us…!]

[Can’t help but admit it. We lost.]

[Hmph. Kill him.]

They all rolled the floor in the same position, but their mouths were still alive. If these fools angles, Jung Si-woo might have been able to swing the hammer quite cheerfully…he decided to give up.

“Yeah, I’ll kill you.”

It was just dirty to say something like “Hmph. Kill him” by a muscular guy who didn’t even live here. Jung Si-woo finished them neatly and headed to the next room.

“I’ll clean up when I have something left.”

To match the name, the dungeon was full of brain muscle monsters who tried to compete with the challenger head-on by showing off their strength (mainly physical). Caina penetrated the room guarded by monsters without hesitation, and Jung Si-woo maintained his strength and wiped all of them out. Their behavior was often no different from the first room, but the level increased as they went through them, so even Jung Si-woo couldn’t completely relax.

[Kuhak! Yes, your power is ridiculously strong.]

[Now I know why Hecto sent us down here. You have enough skill to be his apostle!]

By the time he went through the tenth room, Jung Si-woo could not clear them out with a single blow. The combination of power and batting transfer couldn’t wipe them out at once. In other words, they were beaten by Jung Si-woo and could stay sane and talk to him somehow. Jung Si-woo thought this was his chance to ask them.

“So who the hell is Hecto?”

[Hmph…hahaha. The owner of that power doesn’t know Hecto?]

[He who ascended God only by his power. He is the one who proves to be strong by destruction, builds achievements by destruction, and becomes stronger by destruction!]

“Huh.”

Oh, hearing that, it seemed Jung Si-woo and him were going to get along very well. When his ears perked up, Soo Ah-rin slapped him on the chest. He ignored her and focused on what they said.

“So he’s just a god of might?”

[No way. He’s the one who brings everyone together as a force.]

“All in one…”

All in one. What? Jung Si-woo raised his head as the environment of the dungeon caught his eye. Although Caina was pulling out the pillar roots at this moment, there was no doubt that this place was still in the shape of a temple built with red stones.

‘But how is that possible…?’

This was an integrated dungeon. In other words, it was a place where the possibilities of countless dungeons are united. The last dungeon was mixed with the power of the garden during the fusion process, and it was possible to experience a chaotic environment and monster composition while exploring the dungeon.

But now, that wasn’t the case. Even if the number of dungeons was small, the level was much higher than before, so it wouldn’t be less if you add it to the vastness.

[Everything that falls short of his power will end up submitting to him and becoming his own. Do you understand, humble man? His power made this place.]

[A scrawny mongrel like the one who doesn’t dare interfere.]

“Integrating into power…was it just the way it was it?

He felt the power of God and shuddered at the infinite possibilities, but he has never had such an ignorant influence. The greatest power devoured everything else and made it part of itself. The fact that it was simply reduced to energy and absorbed without leaving a trace was quite shocking.

‘…And it’s similar to my natural ability.’

Extortion was the ability to take what belongs to others and make it mine. Other people’s…the absolute ability to erase the personality and take one’s characteristics, whether it was an object or Mana. And now, the ability of Hecto sounded quite similar to that.

“Have you met God in person?”

[How could we? I just hold on to a piece of the blessing he gave me.]

“Yeah.”

Nor does it help in the crucial areas. That’s what supporting roles were like. Jung Si-woo lifted the hammer with a bitter smile. It just so happens that his strength wasn’t maintained because of the penalty timing, but his strength was enough to sort out the losers.

“Se-ha, warm up here.”

“Yeah.”

He delivered a short message to Yong Se-ha, who followed him from behind and lifted the hammer lightly to hit the floor. Four monsters were wiped out with it, and only two remained. He left without hesitation and headed to the next room, carving a new resolution into his mind.

‘Hecto, I need to meet him.’

Of course, it wasn’t immediately possible. However, one day he would meet him, and then perhaps he would be able to learn a little bit about the secrets that Jung Si-woo had. Of course, the next step was to make Jung Si-woo’s power complete.

[Master, I’m stuck.]

The message came to Jung Si-woo when he cleared the 22nd room. Immediately after the same, gray-skinned muscular monsters came out of the temple, and after a thrilling battle, they decided to use the gap created by Yong Se-ha’s Lance to deal with it.

“Are you stuck?”

[It’s not easy. I think we should join up.]

Caina could communicate even at a long distance, as far as she was concerned with Jeong Si-woo. He shrugged, watching over the passage over the open space along the trail of Caina and the Phantom Bike.

‘All right, come back.’

[Roger that.]

You seem to be watching many movies these days, and when I thought blankly, there was a roar of collapse from beyond. Repeated destruction, monsters were shouting…and the voices of pursuers.

“That’s the kind of voice I’ve heard before.”

“Let’s move on, Oppa. At least the monsters inside the temple should be kept to ease the burden of battle.”

“Yes, you’re right.”

If Caina said it was impenetrable, there was no need to increase the risk factor. Jeong Si-woo abandoned his relaxed mind and increased the power of his mana.

The combative sprints and superpowers, which were still not mixed well, were activated through Mana’s operations of different routes and controlled breathing as he rushed into the room quickly. Quickly deducing the numbers of the grey-skinned humanoids (who had been growing in size the further they entered), he swung at the nearest.

“Weak people, they’re going to die while they’re watching!”

[What!?]

[Weak…!?]

They already got a rough idea of what they were angry about! Jung Si-woo pulled out Dragon’s Dignity and let out a roar the very moment when the monsters, who had been immersed in his lightning, flocked to him.

“Roaaaaaar!”

“Oh, my!”

The monsters staggered. Jung Si-woo was on top of the opening, swinging his hammer as he sailed through the air.

[Master, here we go!]

“Oh, okay!”

Just in time, Caina, on a phantom bike, ran into the room. Jung Si-woo waited for her to pass by him and hit the dying monsters in front of him.

“Take it!”

[Argh!]

[Hmph.]

A clean trajectory that even home run hitters would cry upon seeing. But the moment the monsters seemed to crush their pursuers, a few axes in the air glowed eerily. The gray giants faced a miserable ending in which their colleagues beheaded them after being fooled by Jung Si-woo.

[We don’t let the weak be our companions, humans.]

[You’ve made a mess of the strong cave. From now on, it is time for retribution.]

The total number of people who came here was five. Jung Si-woo squinted at their appearance.

“Hmph.”

[You look happy. To rejoice in the presence of a strong man, that alone proves his qualification as a warrior.]

[It is also our strong man’s destiny to twist his face!]

They laughed their way, frowning at his harsh impression. Their momentum and pressure proved a fit for their arrogant language. They were smaller than the gray giants, but their physical strength was formidable, and above all, their trademark was a machine that occupied part of their body!

[Punishment!]

[It’s punishment!]

“Yeah, that’s it. I like it a lot, too.

Jung Si-woo held his hammer, grinning at enemies who repeatedly said the same word and revealed their stiff teeth.

It was a re-match with the armored Ork.
