Chapter 169: Gaming Friends (1)
Using Hwang Yong-min’s face, Ryu Min went to find Ju Seong-tak.
Thanks to the tracking skill it wasn’t hard to pursue him.
“We meet again?”
“You, you f$king bastard… Ugh!”
Ju Seong-tak, who rolled into the house from Ryu Min’s kick, hurriedly steadied himself.
‘Curse of Fear!’
With eyes wide open, he cast the fear spell.
[The opponent has resisted the fear.]
[Failed to cast the Curse of Fear.]
Just like before, it was useless.
“Don’t be so scared. I only came to talk.”
Thud-
Ryu Min closed the front door with a smirk.
But to Ju Seong-tak, it felt like a sneer and ridicule, and he couldn’t help but get angry.
“Bullshit! Talk? You said you’d kill me if we met again, and now you want to talk!”
“Oh, did my words hurt you that much? Sorry. But in the cult, you attacked first without warning. Can’t you at least admit it?”
“That’s because you… Ugh!”
Another kick sent Ju Seong-tak sprawling across the living room floor.
“Blaming others like usual. Even after what happened at the cult, you still haven’t come to your senses.”
Ju Seong-tak was hopeless.
Expecting anything from a murderer who had killed dozens even before becoming a player was too much.
‘I kept him alive because his traits were useful, but it seems I need to eliminate any potential threats.’
Seeing Ju Seong-tak glare at him as if he wanted to kill him, Ryu Min felt reassured that he had followed him.
“Alright. I’ll give you a chance for revenge.”
“What?”
Without responding further, Ryu Min manipulated the system window in the air.
Soon, an unfamiliar message appeared before Ju Seong-tak’s eyes.
[The opponent has challenged the player with the nickname ‘Dumb Fools’ to a duel.]
[Duel type ? Non-lethal simple sparring]
[Opponent’s victory condition ? Touching the opponent 100 times]
[Dumb Fools’ victory condition ? Touching even a single hair of the opponent]
[Victory Reward ? The loser becomes the winner’s slave for life and obeys all commands.]
[Opponent’s penalty ? All equipment and skill usage prohibited]
[Dumb Fools’ penalty ? None]
[Do you accept the duel under the above conditions? Y/N]
“What’s this?”
As Ju Seong-tak, who had never received a duel request before, looked confused, Ryu Min kindly explained.
He needed the guy to accept the challenge to force his actions.
“It’s a duel function, but it’s simple. If you touch me even once, you win. Conversely, if I touch you 100 times, I win. The loser becomes the slave of the winner. How about it? Simple, right?”
“If I touch you even once, I win?”
“Yes. But I won’t use any equipment or skills.”
Ju Seong-tak examined the system window again and pondered.
‘Even if it’s just a hair, if I touch him, I can make him my slave?’
It was a bet too good to pass up.
The problem was whether to proceed with the bet.
“Are you really going to duel with these conditions?”
“Can’t you see?”
“How can I trust you? You could break your promise.”
“How could I break it, you idiot? The system forces actions just like it does with dominion.”
“……”
Ju Seong-tak was silent.
Judging by the system window, it seemed trustworthy.
And he seemed to have a chance.
‘Even though I’m a mage type, could I not touch him once while he touches me 100 times?’
If he could cast fear once, the game would be over.
Of course, he’d never successfully cast it on him before, but…
‘If it comes to it, I can use corpse explosion, and there are many other methods.’
Even though his job was a mage, he hadn’t just increased his intelligence.
There were many occasions where he needed to fight in close quarters or run away, so he had put some points into strength and agility as well.
No matter how fast the guy was, he was confident he could touch him once.
“So, are you in or not?”
“What’s the reason for this sudden proposal?”
“What else?”
Ryu Min chuckled.
“I feel sorry for you.”
“What?”
“It’s pitiful seeing you struggle despite your lack of skills, so I’m giving you a chance. Even giving myself a penalty. Didn’t you realize?”
“……”
“A guy who claims to have put points into intelligence can’t even think this through. Your head isn’t just for decoration, you know.”
‘This bastard…’
It was humiliating for someone ranked 2nd or 3rd in the entire district to be laughed at like this.
“So, are you in or not?”
“Let’s do it, you bastard.”
[The duel has been established.]
[The duel between the two will begin in 10 seconds.]
An enraged Ju Seong-tak took the bait without realizing it was a fight he had almost no chance of winning.
‘That’s another slave for me.’
Ryu Min’s lips curled into a cruel smile.
