"I haven't seen someone using that in a long time."

A one-time resurrection item, the Cross of Resurrection.

Although it has a powerful effect of resurrection, it is not commonly used in important matches such as national league games, promotion matches, or guild battles.

"The penalties are quite significant."

Furthermore, even if the Cross of Resurrection is used and the player dies again, their current ranking becomes fixed at the bottom regardless of their previous position, and they receive penalties such as experience point reduction and GP loss three times greater.

Unless you can guarantee first place, using it would only result in losses.

"Moreover, this item has a fatal flaw."

Sung JiHan noticed this flaw when he saw BJ Geumbit die.

"Judging by the author's surprise, it seems that the flaw of the Cross of Resurrection has not been revealed yet in 2020."

With that thought in mind, Sung JiHan looked around.

There were only monsters summoned to the Colosseum and a few groups nearby.

There was no sign of popularity among the players.

"Why are they so far away? Hey, guys."

The players had fled to avoid the collision while watching Sung JiHan and BJ Geumbit fight, without realizing the situation.

Sung JiHan felt disappointed as he looked at the players who were far away.

It would be difficult to get 10 kills like this.

"I should at least get 0.1 kill while going."

0.1 kill.

That was the value of the monsters' lives in the Colosseum.

After scanning his surroundings once, Sung JiHan ran towards the place where the most monster groups were gathered.

At that moment, an achievement window appeared above his eyes.

"Eliminate the Goblin Champion."

"Goblins are the weakest in the Colosseum, but they have the largest numbers. The Goblin Champion is their leader and is trying to gather more goblins to win in the Colosseum. Subdue him before he gathers more goblins."

[Reward: Achievement Points 500]

The Champion monster.

It was an elite monster that occasionally appeared during the game.

Its stats were about 3-5 times higher than regular monsters, and it had powerful equipment and special skills, making it difficult to deal with.

Usually, players would avoid Champion monsters in such situations, but Sung JiHan saw it as a bonus.

"Achievement Points 500. It's a lot, but... since I'm going that way anyway."

Sung JiHan's body accelerated in an instant as he charged towards the goblin horde.

Even though he didn't use a charging skill like BJ Geumbit, Sung JiHan's new model shot out like a cannonball.

"Kik. Kik. What... what is that? Throw, throw rocks!"

The large Goblin Champion, about 2 meters tall, urged the goblins under his command.

Boom! Boom!

However, the heads of the goblins at the front exploded simultaneously.

Sung JiHan's assault was like a bulldozer pushing forward.

For the small goblin with only about 1 meter left, it was impossible to stop him.

"Pro... profit...!"

Swoosh!

A giant cleaver sliced through the goblin's body like cutting tofu.

Green blood splattered in all directions.

The Goblin Champion opened its eyes wide.

The 40 goblin subordinates it had gathered were cut and exploded in the blink of an eye, rolling on the ground as corpses.

"Kreweooh!"

The Goblin Champion, as if trying to overcome fear, rushed towards Sung JiHan, shouting loudly.

Thwack!

The iron club struck his head, while at the same time, the kitchen knife sliced through his chest.

[Normal Quest. 'Eliminate the Goblin Champion' has been completed.]

[Obtained 500 achievement points.]

Along with the quest clear message,

"In the correct order, I smashed his head and carved out his heart."

"You followed the correct method."

"The relic enhances the user's divine power."

"Divine power increases by 1."

Unexpectedly, he received a bonus.

"Smash the head and carve out the chest... Was this the order?"

Sung JiHan looked at the iron club and kitchen knife with a bewildered expression.

He had bought the two weapons cheaply from the BattleNet Market.

[Exotic Relic - Heretical Cooking Set (Grade D)]

- Knife and club.

- This set item only exhibits its true power when both are worn simultaneously.

- On a foreign planet, it is used to 'cook' heretics in a predetermined manner.

Although the item grade was only D, it was a relic that had been sold at an incredibly low price due to the difficulty of utilizing the combination of the club and knife.

He had brought it along, thinking that he would gain divine power by fighting with it.

He didn't expect to discover a special order while capturing the Goblin Champion.

"From now on, I have to subdue enemies in this order."

Sung JiHan looked at the description of the Heretical Cooking Set item again.

Before obtaining divine power, it was Grade D, but it had suddenly dropped to Grade E.

"Still, it's Grade E. I can still obtain more divine power."

Sung JiHan surveyed his surroundings.

Having achieved 10 kills and gained divine power, where should his next target be?

"There seem to be a lot of players over there."

He soon discovered a place where multiple players were fighting.

"Let's go."

* * *

BJ GeumBit, who had logged out of the game.

He sat in the BattleNet Connector with a blank expression on his face.

"I never expected to be completely defeated in Bronze...."

GeumBit's BattleTube channel was already in chaos, with discussions about the Sword Emperor's stronghold.

"Didn't they say this person was Gold?"

"So useless like this!"

"That's why Gold players shouldn't play in Bronze. Tsk tsk!"

BJ GeumBit left a short comment saying, "I apologize for not meeting expectations," and turned off the broadcast.

His next action was...

"Sung... Ji... Han..."

Inside the BattleNet Connector, he searched for Sung JiHan on BattleTube.

Although he could access BattleTube with a computer or smartphone, it felt more real to watch it inside the BattleNet Connector.

"There are 3,123 simultaneous viewers... More than I expected."

Bronze player.

And surprisingly, the simultaneous viewership of Sung JiHan's third game was higher than expected.

Perhaps the aftermath of the previous King of Swords broadcast is still lingering.

Indeed, Sung JiHan's channel has over 8,000 subscribers.

-Sung JiHan. 7 kills.

-When killing champion monsters, after breaking their heads and splitting their chests, he does the same thing to the next player he encounters.

-8, 8 kills. He's adding kills in an instant.

-At this rate, he might actually achieve 10 kills!

Sung JiHan's channel had blocked two-way communication.

Sung JiHan, who was focused on the game, couldn't read the chat and the viewers were chatting among themselves.

But the viewers in Sung JiHan's channel were posting chats that clearly showed their expertise.

-His ability is definitely not at the Bronze level.

-According to the scouting system, he has a power of 35 and agility of 38. This far exceeds the stat limit of 25 in the Bronze League.

-What's even more surprising is that he seems to have room to spare. It's clear that he hasn't used all his power yet.

-What kind of gift does he possess...?

-Without a doubt, he is the most promising player in the Gangnam League.

"It seems like several scouts have already approached him."

Observing Sung JiHan's actions and calculating his appropriate stats.

This was not done by an ordinary person, but by guild scouts or using a different method.

"If only his gift was revealed, he would receive offers to join guilds from several top 10 companies in the country."

"But there is a risk associated with the King of Swords... His abilities are fantastic."

"However, it's uncertain whether the top 10 guilds, who are monitoring public opinion, will make hasty offers."

"In fact... he's still just Bronze."

If Sung JiHan had only shown his abilities without any connection to the King of Swords, all the top 10 companies in the country would have already offered him a guild membership.

But he was in a special position as the brother-in-law of the King of Swords.

And because he was the enemy of the nation's number one fan club, the King of Swords' fans, the top companies that monitor public opinion couldn't make hasty offers to him.

"He's showing such abilities and yet they hesitate to make an offer... Public opinion is complicated."

BJ Geum Bit read the chat messages and thought to himself.

"That human definitely took something from the King of Swords."

"That's right. That tracksuit, it's probably not just an SSS-grade item."

"Sir, that's a really plausible deduction."

"Yeah! Since the King of Swords scolded his brother-in-law for stealing, maybe he's just temporarily postponing the punishment?"

"They're really... ignorant people."

More nonsense from the King of Swords was being posted here as well.

But their public opinion is quite strong, so guilds are probably hesitating as well.

BJ Geum Bit thought to himself as he skimmed through the chat.

"Wow...!"

As Sung JiHan clashed with an opponent, he exclaimed in admiration while watching his performance.

"H-how... how is he dodging that attack?"

"Ah... such a clean strike!"

Even in the eyes of someone who used to be a Gold League player, Sung JiHan's attacks were impressive.

How can a Bronze player fight so well?

-Wow. 9 kills achieved...

-How did he easily break their heads like that?

-Is he going for 10 kills?

-He's doing it all by himself.

And the reactions of the ordinary viewers who were amazed by Sung JiHan's performance.

"Ah. This kind of reaction should have come from my channel...."

He felt a sense of unease that his deep-sea exploration content might be restricted by Sung JiHan.

Whack!

Nevertheless, Sung JiHan smashed another player's head.

-10 kills! It's 10 kills! 10 kills in Survival!

Unknowingly, he also participated in the chat.

-Why is Geum Bit here?

-He contributed 20% to the 10 kills....

-Oh, that guy died twice?

-Yes.

"Ah. My ID...."

BJ Geum Bit.

He shouldn't have come in with this ID.

If he had come in with this, he shouldn't have chatted.

Geum Bit briefly regretted his actions.

-10 kills in Survival is a record achieved for the first time in Korea since the Sword King Yoon Se-jin! It's an amazing record!

-Yeah. But you died twice.

-Hehe. My death. It will decorate the first scene in Player Sung JiHan's narrative...!

-Bye/bye....

-Sometimes, they say the messenger of death.

-That's right. The messenger was right. Just not me. Sung JiHan was my messenger...!

-Yeah. I'm canceling my subscription.

The way he tapped on the chat, there was a god somewhere.

[Achieved 10 kills in the 'Colosseum' survival map.]

[Cleared the hidden quest, 'Achieve 10 kills in the Colosseum.']

[Obtained 5,000 achievement points as a reward.]

"5,000... It's abundant."

The Colosseum map where battles continue until 50 out of 100 survive.

It was really difficult to kill 10 people alone here.

Honestly, unless it was Sung JiHan's extraordinary power, it was an impossible achievement.

The 5,000 achievement points could also be considered small.

"But still, I obtained 5,600 achievement points and gained a Divine Power level of 2 in one game...."

Sung JiHan looked at the equipment in his hand, the 'Heretical Cooking Set.'

The grade had changed from E to F, and the item name had also changed to 'An Alien Relic (F-grade).'

With the remaining Divine Power gained from killing four more people, he had a total of 1.

With this, he had obtained everything he could get from today's game.

"When I exit the game, I should check out the Unique Stats."

As Sung JiHan thought that, he was waiting for the game to end.

[You have cleared the hidden quest.]

[The Epic Quest has been unlocked.]

"Epic... Quest?"

Sung JiHan looked at the newly appearing quest window in front of him.

[Epic Quest]

-Find and provoke the Shadow Queen in the spectator seats of the Colosseum map.

[Reward: 50,000 achievement points / Interest of the 'Shadow Queen' in the Holy See]

"Interest of the Holy See...!"

Sung JiHan's eyes widened.
