chapter 9: 9: the bluff
the blood on his hand was still fresh. it still had some warmth. this was the blood of a human.
he had actually killed another human being. he didn't know what to feel about that.
he had just killed someone who wanted to kill him. it was self defense, but it was also his first time.
[congratulations on killing a player]
[you have received a unique achievement]
[you have become the first person to kill a player outside of the stages]
kim seojin was stuck in a whirlpool of his thoughts when he heard a notification that only he could hear.
a screen appeared before him, telling him about a unique achievement.
he wasn't just the first person to have this achievement in the 300th batch. he was the first overall.
[you have received 1000 contributions]
[total contribution points: 1002]
it was an achievement worth a thousand points. and he also received two points from the man he killed.
in the blink of an eye, he had become the person with highest contribution points before the second stage even began.
even the regressor had less than five hundred points.
he was sure that no one knew about this achievement. if he was the first person to receive it, no one had done that before.
no one knew about it, hence this news wasn't spread either.
'if i hadn't killed him, he would be the one with this achievement and i would be dead.'
he still felt some guilt, but he was starting to realize that being kind to others was being cruel to oneself.
'fortunately, the leadership board disappeared. if they saw my score, things might become troublesome.'
he understood he couldn't show weakness. he couldn't show that he was scared.
he took a deep breath and stepped forward.
he placed his sword over the lifeless body of the man he had to kill.
he wiped the blood from his sword, using the man's clothes before looking at the others.
"does anyone else want to try?"
many people had seen him kill a warrior in close combat. his movements didn't look like someone who was untrained.
it was like a warrior who had been training all his life.
"he deserved to die. he thought a warrior was a necromancer."
"what a stupid man."
kim seojin didn't know how to react when he looked at the man's status screen. even he was fooled by this man.
[name: lee junho]
[level: 1]
[class: arcane cook]
[age: 25]
[traits: showoff]
[streamer status: awaiting tutorial completion]
[subscribers: awaiting tutorial completion]
[stats]

[intelligence :10]
[magic: 25]
[equipped items: staff of cooking flames]
[free stat points: 0]
[skills]
[cooking]
[material gathering]
....
seeing the man's stat, kim seojin slapped his forehead.
this man had bragged about his staff, claiming that it was the staff of an arcane mage.
it was nothing more than a staff that was used to create flames for cooking.
although it was a rare class for sure, it wasn't a class that was battle oriented. and it was nowhere close to something like an arcane mage.
'with such a weak class, how did he manage to kill eleven people?'
he had a lot of questions about lee junho. at first, he thought this man was strong and carefree.
he had even helped him, if it could even be called that. but he wasn't as good as he made him out to be.
he was weak, yet he had managed to kill so many people and enter the top five in contribution ranking. he was more dangerous than he looked.
