Solo Max-Level Newbie

Chapter 581

Episode 581. Village of Hermits (2)

After a while, the cosplay was all over.

Wearing a large pirate hat, Jinhyeok looked at the hooked hand with satisfaction.

‘As expected, the symbol of pirates is a hook.’

Pomsaeng Foamsa.

To live by style and die by style is the pirate.

And next to Jinhyeok stood Chun Youseong with a long sword scar on his face.

The concept is a murderer who lost everything when he was young and only wants revenge.

Trusting no one and relying on no one. Inspection with secondary disease.

That was the character Cheon Yoo-seong had to play.

“Damn it. Why am I such a concept? It doesn’t fit at all.”

Chun Yoo-seong grumbled.

I put up with the words that it fits perfectly.

The fact that I had already put on the clothes was enough to satisfy me.

Anyway, this kid’s chest and abs are no joke.

It’s not that women can’t even make eye contact properly.

Right then.

The rest of the members also appeared in their own costumes.

“Jinhyuk. No matter how much you disguise yourself as a pirate, this… doesn’t seem too revealing, does it?”

“Ugh… I’m going to miss the psychiatric ward.”

“It’s clothes that focus on activity rather than warmth. huh.”

Teresa, Andrea, and Frey each uttered a word.

A very alluring and decadent beauty.

It is a costume that can be said to be a model of a female pirate.

In particular, the three of them were so beautiful that their clothes became wings.

Orun also cosplayed as a muscular strong character befitting a huge back.

Lastly…

Our great queen was busy fulfilling her desires without knowing how important this task was.

“Jim will be the captain! That’s what Jim would do!”

Alice, who used to be in a group, jumped up and down to snatch Jinhyeok’s hat.

“I’ll give it to you later if you’re quiet.”

“Really? You promised?”

“Yes, yes.”

Jinhyeok tried to soothe the child.

Right now, it was important to please everyone as much as possible.

‘Even though I chose it, it’s a jackpot.’

I deliberately aimed and prepared, but this exceeded my expectations.

I was convinced that if I edited and uploaded it later, I could definitely get one hit.

‘At least I have to cover the cost of clothes and spending here.’

As much as I invested a lot in my own way, I was thinking of rolling the members as much as possible.

Soon, the party headed to the village.

How long did you walk through the fog like that?

Finally, the entrance to the village began to appear.

It’s real from now on.

“There’s no one… is there anyone?”

Theresa, who was preparing for the interrogation, tilted her head.

The entrance to the village was clearly open so that anyone could enter.

“Because there is no need to protect it.”

Neither people nor laws are needed.

Only the strong decided everything. The only rule here was that the weak had to accept the consequences.

that buck

The moment Jinhyeok steps into the village for the first time.

Tring!

[You have entered the Hermit’s Village.]

[The fog inside has cleared.]

[The first quest will be completed if you survive for a week.]

[#1. Survival]

Difficulty: AA

Description: All the inhabitants and flora and fauna of this place. Even inanimate objects can threaten your life. If you survive in such a village, you will be able to acquire the minimum qualifications to become a hermit.

Reward: +100 Infamy.

A status window appeared in front of everyone.

‘Hoo.’

Jinhyeok stared at the status window with eyes that seemed interesting.

When I came to this village in the past, these quests did not exist.

I just did my best to endure each day.

But is it because he came with a colleague this time?

Because Nyarlathotep intervened?

Or maybe some other variable was at play.

I don’t know what triggered it, but what’s certain is that a new area has opened that has never existed before.

pounding! pounding! pounding!

Suddenly, my heart started beating happily.

A process that has been repeated until now.

It’s because a new stimulation has been created on the road that goes beyond familiarity to boredom.

“The reward is notoriety… does that mean that you have to have a certain amount of notoriety to clear this place?”

Chun Yoo-seong also opened his mouth after carefully reading the status window.

“I think so.”

“Hmm. What a big deal.”

“what?”

“It’s because it’s strange that you, who always have a smirk, speaks speculatively without conviction.”

“I am not a god. there may be something you don’t know I think I need to be a little more nervous this time.”

“You look too excited for that?”

“Kuhm! An illusion is an illusion. Life is at stake, so what’s exciting?”

Jinhyeok quickly managed his expression.

“It’s done. First, decide where to stay and then collect information…”

But the moment they were about to talk.

Boooooong!

A faint sound of wind rang from behind.

Chun Youseong immediately drew his sword.

Kaaang!

The blade and the blade clashed at one point.

chump chump chump…!

A scythe wrapped in a chain swept across the ground.

It’s a surprise.

It’s not even one person.

Memories that completely obscured their presence came pouring in from all directions.

“Get behind me!”

[Teresa summons the ‘Auror Shield’!]

A huge shield without divine power appeared.

“I’ll take the one on the left. huh.”

Frey pulled out a pair of short spears.

“It’s not even close to this.”

Andrea opened the tail of the nine-tailed fox.

Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!

Kwaaang!

All of the fierce surprise attacks were blocked.

“what? Didn’t anyone die?”

“There are quite a few newcomers.”

“Clap. Even so, they are fresh blue kids.”

“okay. The infamy numbers are all single digits. hmm? No, wait, why does the guy in the front have over 1000 infamy? Didn’t you just come in?”

“It must be a mistake. No one has such a high notoriety to begin with.”

“Well, it’s not even possible without building up a lot of resentment.”

Those who had been hiding in the shadows appeared one by one.

They are Asians in rags.

If you are the fugitives of the tower who use the commendation, sickle, and various memorization…

There is only one possible number of cases.

“Are they from Japanese mythology?”

“…!?”

“…”

“You… how?”

The composure disappeared from the faces of the men who had been killing each other all at once.

“I’ve heard of shadows that have been pushed back in a power struggle. Perhaps they were fugitives called ‘ninjas’?”

Kagagak!

A spark flew right next to Jinhyuk’s face.

The dagger narrowly changed the trajectory of the flying sawblade sword.

“Oh, was this a secret?”

Jinhyuk pretended to cover his mouth with one hand.

And it was like pouring oil on a burning house.

“Yeah man! What is your true identity!”

“You must not kill. Catch them alive!”

“I was going to play with it in moderation… but you’re no ordinary hermit.”

Parts!

Various memorizations were imbued with a vicious aura.

The ninja’s unique Ninjutsu was about to be activated.

He certainly had his own skills.

however.

That’s all.

[Trait ‘Grave of Swords’ is activated!]

Kwaaang!

The strong air surged up to nearly 2m and exploded.

“I guess you don’t know because you’re confined in such a closed place… Our pirates blew it outside.”

You’ll get a serious nose injury if you laugh at me because you’re just a newcomer.

Members of the Goinmul Corporation, including Jinhyeok, released their unique abilities.

In an instant, a huge magical force rushed at the entrance to the village.

Cuckoo Cuckoo!

overwhelming disparity.

It is not at a level that can be dealt with by those who tried to take a penny at the entrance.

‘I have to press it firmly.’

The declaration ceremony will make your schedule in the village more comfortable in the future.

Even so, the ninjas did not roll their tails.

Rather, it narrowed the siege more and more rough.

[Ninjutsu ‘Double Shuriken’ is activated!]

[Illusion art ‘Double Shuriken’ is activated!]

Various types of Ninjutsu, illusion techniques, and memorization poured out like a shower.

“Kuong! kong! Kung!”

Wolves and large hounds rushed at them, and birds of prey such as hawks and eagles rushed from the sky.

“Go, Yoosung.”

“I don’t mind. Why should I listen to you?”

“That’s because I’m the captain and you’re the sailor.”

Jinhyuk tapped his hat.

[Pirate King’s Hat]

Difficulty: AAA

Description: The player who wears this hat is designated as the leader of a group and has the power to punish any member who disobeys orders.

A ‘shipboard contract’ made in exchange for returning the magical sword Ryuhwa.

Disobedience is death.

As it was an event item purchased at a high price on a coin exchange, the effect was beyond expectations.

Chun Yoo-seong gritted his molars at the open threat.

“Can I just kill them all?”

Chun Yuseong spat out the bloody words casually.

I did a pirate cosplay. It seems that his personality has become a pirate.

“No, you have to capture them alive.”

“Why is that again?”

“If you just kill them, your notoriety won’t rise.”

There are several ways to gain notoriety.

or break the quest. Or deal with the notorious and absorb the notoriety. Or you just need to be vicious enough to make the villains stick out their tongues.

And the most effective among them is…

Of course, the last method.

“Sheesh, I can’t help it.”

Cheon Yoo-seong, who clicked his tongue, dug into the middle of enemy lines in the blink of an eye.

***

After a while.

All 30 hermits were taken prisoner.

Although they were residents who made a name for themselves in the tower, it was not enough to become an enemy of the Goinmul Corporation, which fought against the gods.

Those who were completely disarmed were tied up in only their underpants.

“…lost. If it’s a ransom, our captain will pay for it, so please treat it as a legitimate prisoner.”

The man with the highest level of slashing power proudly put forward his requirements.

Of course, it’s not worth half a penny.

Chow!

Jinhyeok swung the whip mercilessly.

“Quaaaaagh!”

The whipped man screamed in agony.

“What are you doing?”

“Didn’t they say they would give you a coin!”

The guys next to me screamed in amazement.

“I don’t need coins.”

“Then… I’m willing to pay for an item or something else.”

“It’s a great suggestion, but I don’t think it will have much merit either. I already have what I want most.”

Jinhyuk smiled brightly.

It was a soft and warm smile.

However, the words that followed a second later were the kind that could not be reassured by any smile.

“I mean your body.”

creepy

An unknown, unknown fear crept up.

For about an hour after that, the captives had to experience hell.

“As expected, it would be better to attack by linking ice and fire here.”

“yes. That way, the damage will be greater and the enemy will be embarrassed. Let’s do it again.”

Jinhyeok scattered ice powder made from glacial molding everywhere.

“yes! I’ll do it right this time!”

Andrea shouted “fighting” and threw down the fox fire.

Blasphemy!

Pew!

When fire and ice met in one place, terrifying cold and heat erupted.

“Keah!”

“Aaaagh!”

The bodies of those who ran with all their might were frozen and burned.

If left unattended, it is a serious injury that could kill you within minutes.

but.

“Everyone, don’t worry. I will definitely save you.”

Teresa diligently treated the hermits that Jinhyeok had turned into porridge.

“Turn it off… no… stop it now!”

“I’d rather just kill him!”

“Don’t save me. Please, just let me die like this!”

angel of death.

In their eyes, the saintess looked like that.

On one side, Alice and Frey’s cooking experiments were unfolding.

“They say that if you cook well, you will be liked by your lover.”

“Hoo. That’s right. If you cook with sincerity, your baggage will not fall anywhere else.”

Elise poured all kinds of seasonings and sauces into the pot.

My favorite kimchi fried rice and tomato spaghetti. Chicken topped with chocolate sauce and peanut butter.

“Ah, eating undercooked meat can cause stomach upset, so don’t forget to sterilize it.”

gurgling!

Detergent poured into the pot like a waterfall.

“Ugh. Whoops!”

“Turn it off… gagging! Cool!”

Those who saw the unknown compound in the spoon shook their heads vigorously.

Most of them had already passed out from foaming at the mouth or vomiting.

Ellis and Frey’s passion showed no signs of ending.
