The Loser was Bullied to Death, but his Bullies Regretted it when He became King of the Underworld!

no story is a story without hope this story is about the mix of misery and finding hope while drowning in disappointment we are here with another wannabe hero and his dream of becoming an adventurer what if his dream Turns Upside Down and we do not see a hero oriented tale but someone who rules the underworld and punishes the Sinners will our hero cuch Chong be able to maintain his innocence while navigating the dangers of the underworld our story starts with a view of H City in the r country where a boy is riding his scooter

somewhere we know there are myriads of Professionals in this world but we all want some glorifying profession that brings not only Fortune but also dignity and honor to our name our guy wants the same thing our dreamer thinks that working hard is not the only factor for Success there is another thing called background no doubt nepotism is going to take everything now he stands in front of shining armor which makes us think that the guy wants to be a knight in shining armor looking at the armor with Wishful eyes he remembers how he has always

hoped to wear it one day this gear has attracted him every time he passed by this way he knows he is not yet capable of becoming an adventurer but he has confidence in his hard work to make it happen one day after a while he has seen studying some new products with attributes that enhance resistance to Magic and a sleeker design it's a kind of magical model and he Ponders how the new version is not very different from the previous one as the damage reduction rate could still reach up to 15% the next scene shows

a man who looks like he's had a master class in snobbery with his assistant by his side apparently this dude with a big attitude is a guild master and his assistant tells him there's a mountain of Adventurer applications they need to go through once they are back at the guild the man barely glances up and snarks that these are just a bunch of losers who failed everywhere else and are now trying their luck with his Guild he tells his assistant to reject all of them dismissing them as Nothing But Trash then a sales girl informs

this snobbish man about the new products they have received offering to show them to him he accepts with the same attitude adding how precious his time is and how he needs to get through it quickly then he is in front of numerous gears that are considered to be the best products the woman informs him about the latest edition which is specially designed to withstand harsh environments she points out that one of them is made to endure toxic and cold conditions meanwhile our dude is also passing through the same path where this cocky and busy guy

is inspecting the gears he asks about more products but his eyes are soon drawn to Chang who is not only keenly observing the items but also taking notes he asks the sales girl if our guy is a reporter she dismisses the idea saying he's just a guy who often comes here to look at things but doesn't have a penny to afford them he only looks never buys the man stares keenly at our hero forgetting that staring is rude he then quickly activates his appraisal skill and can see that our boy is just a level three

Adventurer with zero dungeons cleared his intimidating presence startles Chung he comments nonchalantly that our dude seems like a level three Adventurer and rudely asks to see his notes he seems to lack basic manners or believes the world belongs to him arrogantly he adds that our boy is just writing the pros and cons of the gears like a simple housewife he then taunts him while suggesting that since he can't even complete a simple dungeon task he shouldn't be coming to places like this in other words he indirectly tells him that he doesn't deserve to be there

he continues to taunt him while saying how their taxes are feeding useless and jobless people like our hero who is looking at him nervously then our boy politely asks this snobbish villain to let him pass this person Furious tries to pull him by his shirt as if our hero is obligated to listen to him he truly believes the world revolves around him and that people like our MC should stop whatever they are doing to listen to him first on the other hand Chung wants to avoid this man at all costs to avoid causing trouble however

the man is not only snobbish but also stubborn and spoiled demanding to know how this brat became a level three Adventurer without clearing a single dungeon this question arises in our minds as well let's see how our hero achieves this without clearing any dungeon he jerks off his arms from his shirt while saying that he has an allergic reaction from the magic however the snobbish person manifests magic in his hand the statement of Chung infuriates him without any apparent reason so he is manifesting arm equipment magic in his hand while anger shows on his face

with that he punches him harder knocking him down he arrogantly mutters how someone as weak as him could be so arrogant he also adds as if giving advice for the guy to work hard and clear some dungeons in order to raise his status in society instead of being useless trash he takes it a step further threatening to report Chung to the association for entering the 67th portal at such a low level clearly reving in his own self-importance He suggests Chung must be a spy and hints that reporting him might even score a reward the smirk

on his face shows he's far too pleased with his wild accusation after witnessing everything the sales girl rushes to Chung and asks about his well-being as she sees his nose bleeding not only this our snobbish villain just has to squeeze in one more empty threat vowing to report him again if our boy dares to show his face all this despite the fact that the mighty individual already made it abundantly clear that there's no actual Grudge between them but naturally that's not enough for our self-important antagonist he then swivels arrogantly toward the sales girl and demands

to know about some new products after all he's in a hurry you know because being this insufferable takes up a lot of time but she is concerned about our hero while he shakes off her concern while silently moving ahead after a while he's outside the shop determined to buy the same gear that the snobbish guy was looking at maybe it is way to console himself agree getting a good beating and taunting despite this he also feels relieved that he didn't cause any trouble as the guy seemed to be from some big Guild he finally introduces

himself as Chung an adventurer without a profession in this world having the title of Adventurer but no profession means you're meaningless like a book without a theme now it's time to open up the story of our main character cuch Chong let's start from the beginning The Story begins on the day when this world first saw strange portals opening up the experts of that time began researching these strange portals and collecting data in the beginning things were peaceful as only a few monsters were seen coming out of these portals suddenly after a while the number of

monsters increased and the world found itself in a dire situation in order to tackle this crisis many countries formed a United military force to fight against these monsters but after some experimentation they realized that modern weapons were useless against these unfathomable monsters now the military force wants to try this nuclear power but before they can do it salvation comes in the form of people with Supernatural power during the battle these people are called adventurers after discovering their relationship with the emergence of the monsters from those portals it's as if Destiny is giving the problem and

the solution at the same time consequently Chung's World sees a new profession which is called an adventurer people can easily acquire this profession after their first kill of a monster in other words like someone in RPG games acquires a power or reward it's the same case in the reality of our boy World in case fortunately or unfortunately he also gets some very rare odds instead of higher rewards he gets the profession but his body was not withstand with the magic to obtain this profession in this new world where monsters roam free it turns out the

real stars aren't the ones fighting for survival but those with a natural flare for Monster slaying they're raking in fortune and fame practically walking red carpets while swinging swords becoming the new Idols everyone worships on the other hand those with average Talent must working their their tails off just to scrape by because apparently even in a world full of monsters mediocrity still pays minimum wage in this way the guilds hunting for talent also prefer those with higher levels of talent thus these highly talented people get everything besides having power and money consequently ordinary people without

Talent are pretty much left to rot as if the monsters aren't enough of a problem and those unlucky enough to come from poor backgrounds not only this they've got the added bonus of being devoured by the big fishes in order to survive however they also get an opportunity from the powerful but our intelligent boy is not so certain about it while thinking all of this mess up system of his world he is now somewhere in an abandoned building District looking around at people who are all at level 20 while noticing this he wonders whether they

are going to face a dangerous portal since most of the adventurers gathered there are at higher levels meanwhile someone calls for him it is his uncle Jung chungha and Y he is surprised to see the latter person yuse remarks how he couldn't ref used to come when he was getting some work he also informs Chung about the mission they are going to work in a level E dungeon but he doesn't know the reason behind so many level 20s coming there Chung is surprised to hear this as he expected they would face at least level C

or higher after witnessing the level 20 Adventurer present there he retorts that if that were the case they wouldn't be called as they are just level 10 then while pulling his book out of his bag he replies that he might get some interesting input from it someone interjects commenting on Chung taking out his precious notebook it's the same sales girl we have seen before her name is xaan at that xia again stresses her point about Chung taking notes saying they won't get any valuable items from the dungeon so she finds it annoying that he's bothering

with notes he explains that it's not about the drop items but that it will be helpful in the dungeon as he has taken notes on the minerals and ecological systems of the place she retorts that they aren't going deep into the dungeon anytime soon because of their lower level so she concludes his efforts are useless he remains detached not agreeing with her he thinks these things will be useful since they don't know what they'll face in the dungeon so it's better to know as much as possible besides the biggest reason he puts in this effort

is that he wants to become an adventurer one day he wants to be someone who will plunder Dungeons and use this significant information at this moment they notice someone's presence behind them and it's none other than that snobbish guy with the Arrogant face decked out in fancy equipment shortly afterward he vanishes his gear someone calls him young Master informing him that every is ready Chen grows tense recognizing him from the store but still doesn't understand why he's there that so-called young Master tells a female Adventurer to pick one piece of equipment from the warehouse along

with the others as he is satisfied with their performance last time she complies and thankss him like a good subservient on the other side Chung tries to slip away before this young Master can spot him but unfortunately the guy notices him and grabs him from behind he deadpans how he warned him not to show his face again or else he'd kill him our petrified hero snaps out of his State and angrily jerks his hand away stating how it's none of this so-called young Master's business where he goes this infuriates the young master and he knocks

Chung down putting him in his place not only this he angrily shouts that someone as low as Chung should be grateful since he is their work provider cruy he jerks our boy by the hair arrogantly emphasizing that he's at the top of the food chain and no one's going to stop him from killing him besides the Great and Mighty Master is apparently being merciful by sparing chunk life while he brags about his merciful nature Chung coughs up blood from the beating he's receiving now our guy finally realizes this man is none other than their job

client by this time others are drawn to the scene some ask the young Master to let Chung go While others wonder if it's right for a client to treat a subordinates this way hearing the murmur of the crowd only adds fuel to the young Master's ego- fueled Firestorm and naturally he lashes out by literally throwing fire at the onlookers after all this drama he laughs it off saying it was just a joke claiming he slipped because he held chunk hand for too long like because who hasn't accidentally set people on fire during a friendly handshake

after witnessing everything the association officer warns him about pulling such hilarious pranks in front of Association safety officers noting it could cause him trouble in the future but predictably the young Master is far too engrossed in his self-importance to care laser focused on the far more pressing matter of making Chung's life miserable as his mission the downside of all this drama is that the main character Chung ends up proving the snobbish lean's point he really is the useless person xien claims he is while xen taunts our boy's courage for having such lofty dreams of becoming

an adventurer despite being useless trash our dreamer remains on the floor as he is too weak to stand with a taunting smile the bully expresses how sorry he is that someone like our MC is alive with such a pathetic life finally xen deadpans suggesting maybe he should help our pathetic hero regarding this matter afterwards he turns attention to the beautiful Association officer and with a smirk asks her to join him for a drink she politely declines clearly not falling for his charm offensive on the other hand xia immediately rushes to Chung to check on his

well-being a spectator who might belong to xian's Guild comments how the president really has a peculiar habit of using someone as a cautionary tale it's like he's got a personal mission to remind everyone of their place Cen passes near that person and asks him about his usual special favor leaving everything to him which he complies with gladly another bald Captain instructs everyone to get inside the dungeon he informs them about the current situation of the dungeon as they have detected the power level of the dungeon as level E and cleared out the dangerous Monsters Inside

it now lower level adventurers especially those from Level 3 to5 can enter without worrying about danger Shia asks again about our guy's well-being he tries to assure her that he's fine while his mind is focused on the mission the mission involves entering the dungeon or rather the portals that open to another world these portals emit magic that helps determine the level of danger the dungeon holds which is further divided into levels a to e depending on the magical value emitted our weak guy has only handled dungeons of lower levels basically this mission is about collecting

minerals as the dungeon is level E and they are not there to clear it of monsters he looks at the other adventurers who are usually below level 10 just like him they're the cram de la crem of failure all cast out from the dazzling world of high stakes adventuring these minor opportunities like their current Mission are their only chance to enter the dungeon after they finish their work the portal will close automatically however the downside of these jobs is that they won't get their hands on valuable items as all the valuable dungeon Treasures in Boss

Loot are reserved for their Oso lucky client our main character Chung is quite unfortunate to be born in this world that glorifies adventurers he has a special kind of illness or allergic reaction to Magic whenever he has direct contact with any kind of magic he suffers from intense pain however he endures it to survive in this world after a while he enters the Tower of forgetfulness as soon as he steps into the portal he starts to bleed badly his friends rush to him concerned about his condition as he stands there one Adventurer Muses about how

he's a rare specimen of the abandoned Adventurer another remarks mockingly that people like our hapless dreamer with such rare diseases make excuses about not reaching higher levels due to their illness otherwise they would have soared higher Chung wears a sorrowful expression while listening to this though he should be used to the cruelty of This World by now anyway they all get back to work as that is their goal for coming here Shia looks around to find him and spots him in the corner working his uncle and friend also look at him with concern as he

has just puked blood and is now working furiously his friend then asks his uncle about the meaning behind abandoned Adventurer his uncle explains that it is a rare magical disease in which adventurers can't use skills fight or react to Magic it usually awakens during The Awakening ceremony of an adventurer and accompanies them as they level up it has different levels from a mild allergy level to something severe sometimes even leading to organ damage they even have a chance to die during combat because their bodies can't bear the magic that's why they are called abandoned adventurers

it is revealed during his Awakening ceremony that he is gifted with this magical disease also known as magical intolerance while looking at him his uncle remarks how Chung could be quite powerful because he has collected small amounts of experience while going through dozens of dungeons meanwhile our poor guy himself thinks about how he has relied on the exploration experience of working in the dungeon in order to level up essentially magical disease has a cure but it can only be treated abroad with high fees therefore he is saving money in order to get himself healed at

this moment he gets his hands on a job ad in which the Explorer Guild is in need of a strategy adviser he is determined to become an adventurer for this purpose he will first get treated buy equipment and join a guild he is determined to do all of this thing one day after after a while they are finished with the gold loading as he carries the last load people are talking about how they should leave immediately as they might get caught in the dungeon if high level adventurers exceed the portal level which would result in

an increase in the dungeon level for them it won't be possible to handle level 20 monsters while doing his work our hardworking hero turns to another side with a curious expression on his face he senses powerful magic coming from a certain room and concludes that it must be because it is the room of the boss monster he is now looking in that direction intently however he knows that they are about to leave the portal what he senses makes him wonder whether there are two bosses in this dungeon suddenly someone attacks him from the back and

he falls down his companions protest at that the person who attacks him explains that it is because their so-called President ordered them to take special care of Chung while in pain he doesn't understand what Shan's problem with him is because he hasn't done anything to offend him on the other contrary he hasn't done anything to provoke him his new bully strides forward with the kind of enthusiasm usually reserved for finding the perfect part parking spot and proceeds to lecture Chung on the sheer horror of having a magic disease he also adds that it was boss's

brilliant idea to see Chung off he even goes so far as to say that his boss indirectly told Chong that people like them don't have the right to breath despite his blabbering Chung goes ahead his companions try to stop him but he doesn't listen to them and continues keeps walking like a man on a mission completely tuned out to their protests this new person with all the Glee of a villain in a b-grade movie is ready to use the highest level of magical skills to finish him off in one go this dude is sadistic enough

to tell our guy about his diabolical plan as if explaining it to him will somehow make the spectacle even more satisfying it's like if this villain wannabe is trying to say to our guy to watch closely how he is going to meet your end all the while Chung remains unperturbed as if he's heard this kind of melodramatic nonsense one too many times after hearing this sadistic claim he now understands what Sheen meant when he said that he would help him Cen thinks that someone like our MC who struggles to survive in this magical Society with

a magical disease should just die to end their misery the thought of these self-righteous bullies playing judge and jury with others lives infr our dear guy to the core he is infuriated to think that these people consider themselves Divine entities because they can play with and judge other people's lives without Mercy with this thought he steps forward another scene shows the real reason xien has enmity against Chung it is shown that the news policy of the association is too concerned about the increasing competition between adventurers in order to tackle this problem they are going to

train lower level adventurers meanwhile we see xan in a car with a lady who might hire someone to clear out the trash I.E lower level people Sheen agrees with her saying that trash should be thrown out and no one will care about it however the lady is concerned about the association officers but he shakes off her concern he evily states that people who shouldn't have the right to live like low-level people won't survive after today while showing a merciless scene of Chung with misery on his face while his bully is about to kill him he

looks at the magical attack called Fireball which is a level three magic skill he understands that the reason the bully is using this level of magic skill is that they want to torture him instead of finishing him off in one blow he tries to dodge it because he knows that even though this Fireball is level three its strength is too high for someone like him to Bear he looks back and there is an explosion of fire behind him the villain has finally given the final hit to our helpless Hero on the other hand he reminds

himself that he wanted to be an adventurer and this should not be his end then he summons a weapon as a last resort the villain is quite annoyed to see him still alive our tough dude is still clinging to survival his heart en shambles and blood spewing from his mouth seeing this sorry State the villain decides it's time to end his suffering he tosses our guy onto the ground like yesterday's garbage and just for good measure gives his head a solid kick while Chung is still busy coughing up blood the villain is quite sadistic and

laughs at his situation because at first he thought that our helpless hero was seriously trying to Counterattack but this is not the case meanwhile our MC is in great pain while a question arises in his mind about whether he has done something wrong to end up like this even as he is dying without gaining any power it feels like other souls are also listening to his helpless cries they answer with their own questions like why they were killed they also remark how they were killed even while resisting they taunt the common perspective that people like

them who haven't even reached level 10 don't have the right to live in the end our guy has only one question in his mind which is why is his end decided by others when it is his life meanwhile something strange happens in the dungeon they are standing in there is an abnormality in the dungeon now the dungeon boss monster has been replaced with the hell level the villain looks back after sensing something there are two monsters standing who have come out from their base although he is losing Consciousness he feels like he has seen the

grim reapers in front of him he is right as these monsters are none other than the black and white Soul Reapers after a while our not so dead hero finds himself surrounded by darkness and and doesn't understand his whereabouts while he's curious about his situation a voice announces the entry of a new player he immediately turns towards the source of the voice the voice tells him to proceed with something there is a strange miniature Shrine in front of him he observes carefully and concludes this is where the voice might be coming from he puts his

hand inside the shrine as it feels like there's something inside however he cries out in pain as that something must have bitten him the thing then emerges from the shrine and accuses him of poking it while calling him a pervert Chung is stupified to see a talking broom it turns out though that this thing is a pen and and it's absolutely outraged at being mistaken for a household cleaning tool the pen then congratulates him for activating a system Chung doesn't understand a thing the mighty pen is saying he asks about the place he is now

and expresses how empty it is the pen rolls the word empty and Chung doesn't realize that he's standing on the Gate of the underworld upon realizing this he is petrified to see it's true there is a gate of ghosts beneath him it must must mean he is dead he is terrified to realize that he is indeed dead after remembering how he was killed in the dungeon he starts to cry vigorously after realizing that everything he had planned for his life starting from treating his disease has come to this the pen nervously reminds Chung that this

place is public so he should keep his wailing down imagine a public space for ghosts where they could walk around for relaxation and here's Chong disturbing their peace because he's now one of them what a joke despite the Pen's reminder Chung keeps crying for his lost life in which he had dreams of leading an ordinary adventurer's life as if anything about being an adventurer could be considered ordinary the pen tries to console him awkwardly by saying that his life was already too harsh so there's no need for him to live at all so it's better

to die this pen of the dead has a weird sense of humor however it gets tired after a while and reminds Chung that he needs to go somewhere so he should just stop crying now seeing his confused expression the pen tells him to just follow it as they move ahead with our dear dead hero trailing behind the weird pen with with a tired expression he asks what will happen to him after his death instead of answering him the pen dryly remarks on how easily he's accepted his death they soon arrive at a very dark place

and the pen says they've reached their destination chain tries to ask more but the pen interrupts saying he'll know everything soon afterwards a fire is ignited around them and the pen informs him that this is the trial room and Chung needs to follow it he remarks that the place seems like a palace of a giant king while observing the grandiose design the pen reminds him of his place as he gobs at the palace like some country bumpkin he proceeds and suddenly stops as he realizes that this place Bears a striking similarity to the dungeon his

eyes catch a glimpse of a shiny costume and he asks about it the pen informs him that it's the body of King Yama chin sees the darkened Rays emanating from the edge of the costume and comments that he has heard this name before seeing how lost he is the pen finally tries to explain everything to him it starts by saying that the Dead who come here go through a trial to judge the Deeds they've done in their lives after the final judge judement the evil ones go to hell as punishment for their deeds therefore King

Yama is someone who conducts this judgment and rules over the underworld he is also someone who commands numerous ghost soldiers and demons after listening to this his eyes widen with realization as this was the lesson he had learned King Yama was someone who writes the lifespans of the living beings with a pen this pen seems like the pen he has just met with a baffled expression he turns to the pen disbelief in his tone about the death of the ruler of the underworld however the pen emphasizes that dead means dead but Chung shakes off this

statement as nonsense the pen informs him that if he doesn't believe it he can read it for himself while showing him some writing on the wall in front of him he looks at the writing but it seems to be in another language he doesn't know so he asks the pen to explain it suddenly he stops as he realizes that as strange as it seems he can understand the language he understands that it is the engraving and the torn part of the wall must be the mural he looks at the engraving which shows numbers of soldiers

and their King fighting against someone he concludes King Yama must have been fighting against someone the next picture shows the beheaded form of King Yama he understands that King Yama was killed during the war he had initiated now his remaining body without a head is buried there for some reason epitaphs and murals are engraved and a barrier is set up to protect the king's body then his eyes turn to the engraving which is full of the king's resentment towards someone he doesn't know suddenly he understands it is the war between the ruler of the underworld

but he is still in belief at this moment a mission appears in front of him this Mission involves a quest in which he has to find the real head of King Yama and he could get a legendary potion called mingo's potion as his reward with this reward he could eliminate his illness he has unlimited time to complete this task he asks the pen about it the pen informs him that it is his form of trial which will help him get back to his life he is shocked to hear this and questions how the pen told

him that he was dead the pen nervously explains that he is half dead despite the fact that he has accepted his demise so easily after hearing this he punches the pen hard and turns to the screen with renewed determination now he starts to comprehend his situation he is not dead at all so he might be in the dungeon he considers this fishy Mission doubting whether he is really going back to life after completing it then he looks at the mission's rewards and concludes that as he doesn't have much of a choice he might as well

accept the mission as there is a chance for this strange potion to treat his illness after all beggar can't be choosers so he accepts this Mission as soon as he clicks the yes button multiple ugly and terrified looking heads come out from the system and start roaming around him at first he doesn't understand these things but then realizes these are the heads he has to separate King yama's head from the pen informs him that he has to select one head from them as his trial has begun Chung comments dryly that these heads are piled up

like a mountain and it seems impossible to find one head among them sensing his misery the pen starts to laugh saying it shouldn't be easy since it's a trial at this moment he is ready to tackle the challenge and starts to examine them one by one he now has an ugly looking kid's head in his hand and comments that some of the heads don't seem to belong to the ruler of the underworld he is still at a loss about how he's going to find the right head in this sea of heads the pen asks about

his plan Chung thinks about online dungeon games where there's usually a clue in the dungeon to solve puzzles now he doesn't have any idea about the hidden rules or hints to solve this puzzle he looks at the engraving records where the current situation of King Yama is depicted and understands that he needs to check the script for a clue meanwhile the pen asks if he's an expert Adventurer he tries to shut it up as he needs to focus hey pen no need to sprinkle salt and his already bruis his life suddenly he gets an idea

and smiles widely the pen is desperate to know what secret he has uncovered he shakes his head to reject the idea the pen tries to encourage him to share his thoughts claiming to know the answer however instead of giving it any heed Chung turns back and selects a head stating that it is the head of the ruler of the underworld he reaches this conclusion because the script describes a large scar on King yama's face and suggests that he still looks angrily at his enemy therefore this head matches the description in the record he turns to

the pen and asks if he's right the pen Ambiguously answers that he will find out for himself when he turns to the head again one of its eyes starts glowing purple suddenly there is an explosion and he is thrown back the pen now mocks him saying he got the wrong answer Chung doesn't understand where he went wrong he inspects the inscription and realizes it didn't mention whether the head was human or not apart from those two things then he thinks there must be something else that could help him at this moment the pen starts to

announce a secret to reward the player's hard work he deadpans that the trial has a time limit this leaves him petrified for a moment the pen continues saying that the time duration depends on how long it takes for the black and white impermanence to eliminate the people on the upper dungeon he explains further that when he was killed in that dungeon it accidentally triggered the AC ation of the system which has preset rules these rules involve the black and white impermanence eliminating everyone involving the death of the player means our guy Chung the usual Target

of these Soul Reapers is the monsters and they are designed to kill those monsters who were supposed to kill him on the contrary the situation is reversed here as he was killed by humans so these Soul Reapers unable to distinguish between killers and other humans are likely to kill every human on the Upper Floor including his companions The Killing will continue unless he completes his trial with a terrified expression he asks for further explanation he realizes with Dread that his friends and companions might currently be fighting the dangerous Soul Reapers now he understands that he

doesn't have the time he once thought he had he must hurry to save his comrades from Death afterwards he is desperately running here and there checking every head he needs to hurry he chants a mantra in his mind while looking at every head suddenly he finds a head with a cap matching the costume body King Yama had been wearing he reaches out to this head exclaiming that he has finally found it but as soon as he touches that head there's an explosion and he is now buried in a swarm of heads after a while he

regains Consciousness and hurriedly asks how long he was unconscious the pen informs him it has been 20 minutes increasing his worry and as a cherry on top during this process he has also triggered a trap this trigger increases the number of heads the pen informs him that his time is almost up as he has only 2 minutes to complete his trial and a chance to live suddenly he starts to laugh the pen is confused to see his mad State he states with a maniacal expression that he now understands this game of the half dead besides

he is already uncertain about some potion that could cure his disease but it's nothing but a dark joke the pen seems quite nervous listening to his babbling and even remarks that he has gone mad however ignoring the accusation our boy seems like he has finally awakened he now remembers the online strategy guide he frequently read this guide mentions the dark dungeon rules which revolve around playing dirty Mind Games these rules involve Mutual Slaughter and toying with the mind for this purpose they give hope and despair at the same time so in his case he was

given so many heads to make him desperate but there was no right answer among them this game is nothing but a way to mess with his mind the real answer the ultimate truth is that they are playing with his mind with this thought he falls down and sits in disappointment the pen observing his expression encourages him not to give up it yells at him that he shouldn't give up as this is his chance to come back to life he answers with despair that he doesn't care if he comes back or not the pen keeps trying

to encourage him not to give up however his mind is still consumed by the term dark jokes a Hot Topic in online discussions this cruel concept involves the dungeon's habit of playing with Minds like a British ruler the cruel side of the dungeon is clever as it uses the divide and Rule tactic this often leads players to kill each other if that isn't the case then it presents unsolvable puzzles or trials making players die and spare this whole disappointing melodrama seems like some kind of demon Puppeteer toying with its puppets AKA players enjoying its own

show while making the players miserable he finally thinks in despair about how stupid he was to believe he had a second chance then he looks at the pen which is rolling around at full speed at first Chung thinks it's because the pen is in a hurry but he quickly rejects this thought because the pen seems excited about something however he shakes off every thought figuring it's none of his business then he looks at the pen again and it seems like it's in pain It also says be careful to someone at first Chung thinks it's directed

at him but then realizes that can't be true after all he's just sitting there drowning in his own misery misery is indeed dangerous but no one's going to shout at him to be careful about it it's not like misery is going to shoot him he then observes the floating heads and wonders why they are still floating he knows they had been floating because of the impact of explosion shock waves but once those subsided they should have been still he doesn't understand why they are floating with without any reason this time he touches one of the

heads and thinks it feels like stirring water with leaves floating on the surface his touch on the water has affected them making them float again his thought process pauses for a moment as he remembers the image of a stick stirring water and then he recalls the pictures of king yama's head he also remembers the Engravings which were filled with resentment and the scorn of King Yama toward someone at this moment his eyes widen in realization however instead of just guessing he's determined to experiment he looks up and tries to find the position of something then

he starts climbing the wall determined to reach whatever it is suddenly there's another explosion and the pen yells at him asking what he's done this time nervously he asks if he's made a mistake the pen now Furious reminds him that he's done it again and again meanwhile its mind is cautious trying to stop him as it thinks he would must find something soon then it tries its trick and starts talking to him nicely saying that he has already given up so why is he messing with things again it even encourages him him to give up

completely suggesting it would be better for him to reincarnate as he might get a better life next time Chung slightly asks why it's being so nice to him it fumbles and says it has always been gentle with him even going so far as to call him little brother however the pen is desperately praying for Chong not to move so much and subtly turns his head toward the real head placed behind him it wants him to waste time so the clock can run out noticing the panicked state of the pen our MC concludes that he must

have found the answer he knows that he can find key hints from the Engravings and murals on the wall to locate King yama's head however while focusing on them he might ignore another crucial detail that could make this puzzle unsolvable the first hint he had overlooked was the title of his trial which mentioned that it was a solo Mission his first impression of the mission was that it involved magical ways to protect the body of King Yama besides he had dismissed the text because he couldn't read it but the last words stuck in his mind

which involved something like King Yama going hand inhand with someone in the past therefore this trial was meant for the person mentioned in the text as they were the ones who had a history with King Yama the head remained hidden behind the player's own head to prevent him from finding it in this way King Yama set a death trap for the player he then looks around determined to find the head and realizes one last step remains with that he looks at King yama's body and considers a method to retrieve the head which is placed exactly

behind him he also thinks about the giant body of King Yama as it is described in mythology then he considers how to solve the puzzle clim climbing is not an option because of the risk involved his train of thought shifts toward the old friend King Yama had gone hand inand with and he wonders if the puzzle could be solved by this person mentioned in the text he Ponders whether this dear person to King Yama holds the key to solving the puzzle meanwhile after observing his new determined State the pen yells at him that he has

already given up so there's no need for him to get involved besides it wants chunk time to run out so he will eventually die suddenly Chung looks at the pen with a triumphant expression which makes the pen even more nervous he declares that he has finally found something the enemy would never do which is to show courtesy with Newfound determination he heads toward King yama's body the pen shouts behind him asking if he solved the trial but Chung royally ignores it fixing his eyes on his goal he then shows courtesy to King yama's head placing

it on his own head hoping it will reveal itself to him however it doesn't work at all now he tries to think of another way to convince King Yama and solve the puzzle his mind goes to the fact that King Yama is not just any ordinary man but the ruler of the underworld with that in mind our polite hero goes to his knees and Bows before King yama's body addressing him with the utmost politeness he respectfully requests the chance to return to life even though he doesn't know for whom the trial was truly meant for

at that moment his Golden Screen happily congratulates him for successfully completing the mission as a result his reward in the form of Mungo soup begins to take effect magic starts to swirl around a very happy Ching who now understands that he has finally rid himself of his magical illness as the magic no longer hurts him his screen flashes once again now bearing the title The Old friendship promise the notification informs him that he has completed his mission and obtained the reward and he has now offered an internship in the Underworld he looks at the screen

with confusion and wonders whether it involves any hidden job while he is pondering on the job the pen fumes with anger and even threatens to eat him alive he nervously turns to the pen and asks politely if there is any need for it to be that angry as at this moment he Ponders whether he should apologize to the pen as it seems like it doesn't want him to solve this puzzle maybe our guy's death will please this pen of judgmental however the pen is more than serious and devours our baffled hero now the dear brush

or judgmental pen who turns out to be a female is shown in front of Lord Yama where she expresses how good she is as the civil servant of the underworld and how she takes care of the trials which have been successful she even boasts about serving as the sexy secretary as well then she complains about being responsible for the newcomer which she feels is unfair however she hurriedly adds that she will handle everything for the sake of the organization King Yama says something to her which she requests Yama to reconsider with that she starts shouting

that he wouldn't dare to do something at this moment the thought process shifts to our unfortunate not so dead player who might see someone so tall there however he is losing Consciousness at this moment someone addresses the pen asking it to literally puke our player from her mouth the voice seems to belong to King y who has lost his successor and is now hunting for one however it seems like he has gone through many trials in the hunt for his successor therefore now he has a plan to bet everything on our guy and his poor

fate now the story is going to take new turn it is said that adventurers are the wealthiest people in this world not only is their wealth valuable because it is also earned through the risk of their lives now in this world full of adventurers and risk involved professions there is a large crowd of people gathered in front of a particular portal usually whenever the portal opens people gather around it because they are concerned about their loved ones on the other side sometimes the situation is so dire that if someone finds the whole body of their

loved one it should be considered a fortune now finally we see our guy who has only seen darkness and he is requesting that arrogant and gluttonous pen to let him out when he opens his eyes he finds himself lying in the cold box for the dead as soon as he spots the pen he punches her hard after a while the pen explains that he was found by some woman who brought him there after the end of the trial now he understands why he is in the morg despite the situation the pen shouts at him asking

how he could punch her after waking up nervously he explains that at first he thought he was dreaming a nightmare though it's also true that the pen was trying to eat him before he wake up there he then contemplates his situation he understands that the association safety officer realized what happened when no one came out of the portal it means they must be dead at the hands of the Grim Reapers while he was busy with the trial he then asks the pen if there are any other survivors besides him the pen answers that there are

only two then the pen points out that the most crucial thing now is for them to get out of the morg and they can discuss everything later he agrees with the pen and rushes outside where a doctor is dragging a stretcher thinking about why he has to go back and forth to collect injured people as the association sends them the doctor even thinks about how tired he is of all these chores however the doctor sigh with relief as this is his last delivery and after it he will be free suddenly he spots Chung rushing outside

and tries to warn him about running in the hospital then the doctor asks Chung if he knows where he is he replies by knocking him out and apologizing for it after doing this he is confused about what to do next the pen shouts at him asking how he could stop and suggests he put the person aside since it's not like the doctor is going to die following the Pen's instructions he sets the doctor aside and rushes outside after a while he is outside the hospital when a girl is shown talking on the phone about the

verification of the list of dead from the Guild she assures someone on the phone about it and hangs up afterwards she thinks with curiosity about how an e-l portal could be dangerous to anyone now the chief is making things difficult for her and she needs to clean up his mess meanwhile our boy is comically looking here and there trying not to be spotted by anyone the girl glances behind her in chunk Direction but doesn't find anything which leaves her confused after a while our dude is finally at the door of his small department and lets

out a sigh of relief the pen complains about how small this place is and asks him to confirm if he really lives there it even comments on how spacious the underworld is compared to this place this prompts a dry remark from our not so funny guy that the rent in the Underworld must be lower than here at that the pen Chuckles saying it's free for the deceased tired he crashes into his bed the pen asks about his family to which he answers that he has none after hearing this the pen taunts him about his background

saying it's not possible for him to have just sprung out of a rock he forms the pen that when he was very young his parents disappeared inside a portal as adventurers afterwards he never found peace and lingered near the portals anxiously hoping to get into one at that the ever sarcastic pen asks whether he wants her to console his pitiful self he retorts that she should clean the toilet instead during this conversation his eyes stick to the screen of his phone where he still can't find any trace of himself after the emergence of the portals

adventurers have become such a common profession that it has subdivided into countless rare professions like necromancers oracles or charioteers however the thing is these are the kinds of hidden professions that are part of history in contrast he knows nothing about any job in the Underworld it might be a hidden profession like those his mind swirls with thoughts of his unique internship he has never heard of before besides he is also in a dilemma about whether he should become an adventurer or not maybe after the cruel treatment from other adventurers he has given up on his

dream to become one there are other things to reconsider for example the risk to his life in this field is another concern as he has died once and been reincarnated by sheer luck it doesn't mean he has an immortality potion or anything moreover he now has to start from level one and the competition in the industry is already Fierce not only that there is also a chance people like xen and his Lackey might come after him who are against low-level adventurers without any significant reason he grits his teeth thinking about those cruel bullies he wonders

about their ident and the extent of the power they hold it is also clear that they don't value the lives of anyone besides their own he thinks about xen who kept hitting him just because he made him angry by merely existing he is now uncertain whether he would be able to survive if he faced that man again he now fully realizes the complications of his situation besides the biggest question mark is how he could survive without being an adventurer in this world meanwhile the pen is confused when he sees a broom in his home and

wonders if it is something like her now she should understand why Chung called her a broom on the other side he is still in a dilemma about what to do after the demise of his parents he was badly bullied and didn't find a way to fit into society so he decides to check his skills first before deciding further he tries to check his skills by clicking in the air but nothing happens it leaves him confused because he has seen others do this he wasn't able to do it before because he was magically sick seeing him

struggle the pen who is making out with a broom starts to laugh saying he can't do it as a level one he reasons with her that even level ones should have a system since they need to enter dungeons to level up at that the pen informs him that he was given a gift because of his rebirth with that a screen appears in front of him like magic is happening the quest is quite confusing and sounds more like an order he needs to go to the adventurer association with a gun in hand but the reward is

unknown he asks the pen about this Quest panel she answers that they'll find out after they get there he agrees but requests that she spare his broom after a while they are inside the adventurer ass assciation the pen excitedly comments on how Grand it is baffled Chung asks her to keep hidden as someone might see her she responds that he is the only one who can see her he dry suggests she should keep her voice down in this case then he asks about their purpose there she excitedly replies that they are there for sightseeing as

it's been too long since she visited something catches her eye and she excitedly moves towards it with Chung trying to decrease her speed they end up in front of the Awakening chamber where a boy with a shiny smile pierces his sword into a monster he explains to the pen that whoever kills their first Monster comes here for awakening as an adventurer she comments dry about how it stinks which prompts him to reply that she should just bear it they then move to the empty side of the chamber she asks if this large building is just

reserved for Awakenings he tries to explain that they can do other things here as well she nervously asks whether they can eat there he declines and explains that they can do activities related to the profession of Adventurer suddenly the pen starts to shiver while looking above she informs him that she can sense multiple portals opening he confirms that she's right as the association owns many portals for the first level this way they are inspected by the Association and most of them reach the next level because of this system this system involves the association inspecting the

raids of dungeons by adventurers and making reports based on casualties performance and loot in this way numerous guilds can recruit them for internships or training Penn is quite impressed by his knowledge while still taunting him as he has enough knowledge for being a useless level one at that he threatens to throw his broom that has kind of become her lover which makes her gritter teeth meanwhile a man in heavy armor passes by and knocks him down with a tackle the man warns him to watch out and our pitiful Chung apologizes without actually doing anything wrong

as the armored man walks away he looks back at Chung with disdain after checking his skill pen informs him about this but he just shakes off the matter pen looks at his unfazed expression and comments dryly about his awful personality Chong does protest instead he admits it's because he's just a pitiful level one then he notices the same guy who looks nervous rather than snobbish in front of some guild manager after witnessing it our boy comments about him on how he now has to bow down to someone stronger this is how the world Works pen

remarks that Superior person doesn't seem like the stronger ones he explains that it's not just about physical strength but also about how this person will help him increase the value of his resume Penn scoffs at the system of his world and slightly remarks that their world is going to change soon at that moment his system shows him a new Quest he needs to choose a dungeon at the association for his next quest with the reward still unknown seriously this hero is going to do every Quest without knowing what's at stake especially given his already poor

situation with no money however he's happy to oblige as it seems like a simple task to just select a dungeon Penn reminds him that this is step-by-step training because he can't have his cake and eat it too on the other hand he's also determined to take slow and steady steps steps as a level one after a while it is shown that the scenario changes and he is inside the dungeon and especially he is alone he hurries to the pen who tells him that it is a step-by-step process and that he is at the Gate of

danger he tries to strangle her for her misinformation making the situation quite funny if it were not dangerous enough now he has an unfortunate quest in front of him who thinks that our dear Chung is capable enough to clear out the whole dungeon by himself he desperately shakes the pen insisting that it takes four people to clear out the dungeon ignoring her protests that the quest is not something she has control over she also tries to calm him down while being strangled by him he protests that it is the same as before what happened in

the Underworld a little while before he is standing in front of the receptionist who states his request to enter a level three dungeon she asks him to choose his favorite dungeon so that she can arrange a team for him she also adds that once he chooses the dungeon he will be given suitable items that could be useful in the dungeon as well as information about it in the preparation room meanwhile he is looking looking at the screen with a confused expression he is reading the numbers of the Dungeons and the last one is the water

elf's graveyard pen taunts how many choices he has but he knows that he shouldn't decide just randomly because he has to consider the difficulty of the dungeon and the types of monsters he can handle according to his skill suddenly pen decides that it is enough to leave the choice to our so indecisive hero and clicks on some options which leaves him boggled as usual he starts to fight with his familiar pen which tries to help him but our guy is so shaken by his deed that he is shaking the poor pen to its core the

receptionist happily tells him that the water elf's graveyard is his chosen dungeon she requests him to head to the preparation room to get the supplies now in the present the pen is generous enough to give him an extra life-saving skill as compensation for his loss now the screen shows something titled 100 jokes of a brush the task is simply to slap our dear brush AKA judgmental pen still the reward is unknown now he turns Darkly to the pen who is protesting that it's not her doing and insists that the quest is decided Ed by the

system however she warns him that his chance of a second life and the effect of the Mungo soup will be undone if he abandons the quest after listening to this he suddenly stops and seriously P the situation he is in he understands with gravity that he has no choice but to go with the flow of the system but the good news is that the system finally decides to give him some rewards for completing his first task which was about going to the association with that he activates a skill called Hellfire with this skill he can

cook anyone without worrying about the fire being put out as it keeps burning this special fire comes directly from the sea of Hellfire not only this but he also has another skill called paper man with this skill he can create three clowns which will look like him these clowns will be created out of paper to release Souls into these doppelgangers this skill is used to create a confusion effect against the enemy he is beyond happy to realize that he has three paper men to save his life besides it is more than enough to have one

skill now he has three which feels like hitting the jackpot now our guy is transforming into a lucky bastard from the pitiful brat he has no idea a simple slap to the brush would earn him such high rewards maybe he would have done it earlier if he knew he has now decided to be serious about his current situation and do what he does best which is to analyze his situation keenly he has two skills and supplies a few bottles of monop potions some bandages a few smoke bombs and other basic supplies however the problem is

that these supplies are not enough to clear out the dungeon according according to the dungeon strategy besides he likes to travel more lightly because of the danger ahead the only strategy he can use to clear the dungeon is to avoid combat and face the monsters as little as possible for this purpose he has to choose his route carefully according to the map he realizes he is going to clear a dungeon full of water and curses the pen for choosing it he then reads about the water elf graveyard which was once home to a water spirit

but now it's filled with aquatic monsters and traps for adventurers so he has a task in front of him given by the Association he has to collect a signal Beacon from a particular location in the dungeon's Maze and return safely he wonders why the association didn't give him a task to defeat the boss monster his incredibly brilliant mind concludes that this is the association's way of reusing the dungeon because once someone defeats the boss monster the portal would vanish over time the association discovered that if they don't disturb our dear boss Monster by opening his

room door the portal remains this not only keeps the portal around but also brings in a delightful variety of new monsters so they've decided to use these portals as International training grounds for adventurers how thoughtful of them after hearing this explanation the pen protests that their kind is being cheated due to this loophole however Chung is far too engrossed in his own thoughts to care about the Pen's complaints he's thinking of experimenting with something before moving ahead with that in mind he puts on his water walking boots and slowly steps onto the water's surface these

boots and gloves are magically enhanced for use in water a luxury he couldn't enjoy before or because of his magical disease he needs to confirm if the issue is still a problem as soon as he starts walking on the water without sinking he shouts with joy as he is finally cured the pen dry questions why it took him so long to believe this fact now that he's confirmed his Newfound Freedom he's fully ready to go he looks at the map and spots many ruins that could serve as hiding places in this vast dungeon so they

proceed cautiously meanwhile while examining the map the pen complains about how poorly the map was drawn by the Association officers because of course this is a high class organization as they continue he feels like they're on a sightseeing tour if not for the looming danger of monsters then he spots his mischievous pen who decides that playing with starfish in a dangerous dungeon is a brilliant idea he warns the pen that she'll be eaten if she gets closer to them and she learns her lesson when one of them tries to eat her thinking eating a brush

can be a good idea after a while they spot a soul fragment of a frog this type of Soul magic is used for surveillance after casting a soul into it he wonders who could have done such a job as he seems like the only Adventurer there as they move forward he's getting increasingly Satisfied by the lack of monster encounters he figures there's a good chance they might clear this dungeon smoothly if things don't go south at that exact moment his Nemesis the system decides to ruin his happiness now he's assigned the delightful task of defeating

a monster because the system dubs him as the one- man army he grumbles about his rotten luck and blames the stars or rather the system for his misfortunes while the poor brush who's already had her fill of his complaints gets caught in the crossfire Chung even accuses her of reporting his progress to the system which conveniently overlooked his efforts to clear the dungeon without taking any damage the brush vehemently denies this accusation but who's listening with no other choice he lets her go and sets out to find a monster to his surprise and luck he

spots a duck monster they are something which is found in packs finding one alone is like winning the lottery as soon as the monster spots him It Bolts our eager Adventurer Rush rushes after it fearing that if it gets away it might call its friends and create even more trouble he notices a wooden whistle around its neck and decides to destroy it as his priority number one activating his Hellfire skill he's reminded that this fire comes straight from hell so he better aim carefully but with a Target so small aiming is no easy feet the

brush chimes in suggesting he used the skill with his weapon he summons a weapon and attaches the Hellfire to its edge with his thin sword now Ablaze he takes a shot at the duck monster the brush congratulates him on choosing the right weapon noting that a long sword might have made hitting such a small Target much harder he also Praises his Hellfire skill noting that it keeps burning even in the water the downside is that it will continuously drain his Mana while it's active while examining the despairing form of the duck monster the pen suggests

letting it go as it seems to be begging for mercy Chung is taken AB this is a dungeon after all and monsters aren't supposed to beg nevertheless he shows no mercy and finishes the monster off with a dead serious look he thinks that it's a dungeon and begging in front of an enemy is pointless the brush comments that he's going to lose his life if he doesn't complete the mission chry torts that he'll use her as a toilet brush if she keeps up her insolence meanwhile he checks his Mana which is now almost depleted in

half he's surprised at how much Mana he burned on a single attack taking a Mana replenishment potion he covers his Mana reserves though not completely drained he's cautious knowing he might not have time to replenish it in the middle of a battle as they proceed the pen questions his choice of weapon calling it a toothpick due to its thin Edge she wonders why he didn't use a long sword or a dagger he explains that it's a Rapier and he chose it because he's not proficient with heavier weapons its lightweight makes it more suitable for him

however he doesn't understand why the quest isn't marked as complete after killing the duck monster the answer arrives promptly when the duck monster Blows the Whistle alerting its companions he realizes with Dread that he missed the vital spot with the quest completed after the duck monster's death a new problem arises as a swarm of duck Monsters has arrived in response to the Whistle the pen protests claiming they should have hit harder earlier because now they're in trouble facing the swarm of duck monsters our boy is tense about his next strategy he wonders if he can

withstand so many monsters with his current level of Firepower what if it runs out he fears he might be overwhelmed suddenly he spots something and starts shouting that he's found a way out in front of him are a number of jigsaw puzzle pieces and he tries to pick one
