The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

As soon as he resurrected, the magician Kim Gyuhyuk was once again thrown out of the tower by Sung JiHan.

"Shield!"

In his second resurrection, he immediately used a protective spell without hesitation.

"He's a bit strong for a support role. Well, even if he is a support!"

Magician Kim Gyuhyuk. He believed in his own magic.

From the beginning, his level was 15.

He wasn't at the level to be matched with those who had just finished the tutorial.

However, the reason he was summoned for this game was purely because he kept causing trouble and causing the team to lose, resulting in a lower matchmaking level.

"This bastard. I'll teach him a lesson!"

He said while still having his shield up.

"Fire..."

He immediately tried to use a fireball to turn Sung JiHan into a roasted meat skewer, but...

Swoosh-

When Sung JiHan's hand brushed against the transparent shield, the protective barrier shattered like an eggshell.

"Ugh...?!"

"If you die this time, you'll be left with one more chance."

Snickering.

Sung JiHan smiled and grabbed the shocked Kim Gyuhyuk by the collar.

"Shut up..."

"Go."

Whooosh.

Once again, the magician's body flew through the air and plummeted down below the tower.

Uwoooo-!

The zombies cheered with gratitude as they flew towards the magician who was once again becoming their prey.

Crunch. Crunch!

The sound of bones cracking echoed once again.

And when the sound stopped.

Flash.

Kim Gyuhyuk, who had resurrected for the last time, screamed as if having a seizure.

"Wait, wait! Just a moment!"

If he died like this, he would definitely be in last place.

Kim Gyuhyuk's spine shivered.

"The penalty for being in last place... is too severe!"

He didn't expect that if he caused trouble, the other side would just yield or someone would intervene to end it.

He didn't expect that this guy would throw him away like this.

"If my level drops again here..."

BattleNet is a system in the game where if your performance is not good, your level goes down.

If his level drops due to a defeat, the stats he raised when leveling up naturally disappear.

Of course, it's just the stats that go down, so it doesn't matter if he levels up again to raise them.

But the problem was that the skills would disappear.

Skills are more difficult to acquire than stats by leveling up, so the penalty for deletion was more lenient compared to the stats.

Therefore, the level must be at least 5 levels lower than the minimum level requirement for acquiring the skill for it to be deleted.

The problem was Kim Gyuhyuk's case.

"If I die again... it will definitely be deleted."

If he dies again this time, the chance of resurrection will disappear.

He will be judged as the first one to die in this defense game and will experience a level down.

Then his level will become 14, and the skill he learned by spending a fortune at the BattleNet market at level 20 will also disappear.

"This bastard. I'll show him later."

While thinking that internally, Kim Gyuhyuk outwardly showed his intention to surrender.

"Alright. I understand your skills! You don't have to apologize to me! I'll participate in the game sincerely from now on."

"..."

"I'm level 15. And I'm the most useful fire mage in this map. I'll carry properly."

"Oh! That's a good idea!"

The archer who had been anxiously watching their dispute became relieved.

Gangnam's top three scammers, the famous troll Kim Gyuhyuk, was the first to be humiliated like that.

Things went better than expected, luckily.

"...The person who participated in the Silver Promotion Match is only level 15?"

Im Gayoung was dumbfounded when she saw Kim Gyuhyuk revealing his level.

But still, since that scammer surrendered first, she thought the game would proceed properly now.

"Is that it?"

Until Sung JiHan quietly heard this and reached out his hand again.

"...Huh?"

Snap.

Sung JiHan grabbed Kim Gyuhyuk by the collar again.

"Hey, you said 'no need to apologize.' If someone sees this, they'll think I started the fight."

"Well, wait a minute...!"

"Next time, have some common sense."

Whoosh!

Kim Gyuhyuk fell down from the top with a scream.

"Ah..."

The archer reached out into the air with a despairing expression, but it was already too late to catch him.

Crunch!

[Mage class 'Kim Gyuhyuk' has been eliminated.]

[Kim Gyuhyuk is eliminated from this game.]

In the defense map that should have been played with a 4-person party...

The mage disappeared.

---

A chilly silence filled the audience.

"The trash has been taken care of."

But Sung JiHan didn't care at all and looked at the achievement quest window.

Because there was a new quest that appeared after entering the '10 Towers' in the defense map.

[Limited Quest]

-Achieve 1st place in '10 Towers.'

[Reward: Achievement Points 1,000]

It was a quest to achieve 1st place just like in the tutorial, and the reward was the same as back then.

"I expected this to some extent."

Sung JiHan looked at another quest window that shimmered in golden light under the limited quest.

It was content that wasn't there during the tutorial.

[Linked Quest - Origin of Zombies (1)]

-Single-handedly subdue 1,000 zombies.

[Reward: Achievement Points 3,000]

-When cleared, the quest will continue to 'Origin of Zombies (2).'

"Subdue 1,000 zombies alone."

Sung JiHan furrowed his brow.

This... was an impossible mission.

Zombies were not a threat to him.

"But the game will end before I can catch them."

10 Towers.

If 5 out of the 10 towers collapse, the game ends immediately.

In other words, other players in the remaining towers have to hold on until Sung JiHan kills all the zombies for the quest to be cleared.

"For now, I should focus on the limited quest."

Sung JiHan walked towards the end of the tower and looked down.

Grooaaan.

Countless hordes of zombies gathered and crawled up towards the tower.

However, because the slope of the tower was so steep, they kept slipping.

"Ugh..."

While trampling on the bodies of his teammates, he slowly created an angle to climb up the tower.

The archer, who was watching this scene from beside Sung JiHan, let out a deep sigh.

"Haah... This is why we need a mage."

If he could just cast a Fireball at that horde of zombies, he could easily burn down the zombie hill they were creating themselves.

The archer looked at Sung JiHan with resentful eyes.

"If that troll had just stayed quiet like that... we could have just ignored it and moved on. What are we going to do now? Without a magician, they're going to come up like crazy."

"More than usual?"

"Yes. Have you played the game a couple of times? To become a pro player, you have to just ignore those kinds of losers and play the game..."

Tsk tsk.

The archer muttered something under his breath, but Sung JiHan didn't hear it.

"A thousand zombies. Is it possible?"

He was considering whether he could clear the cooperative quest or not.

"Hey! Are you listening to me? Ugh. Creating a situation like this and ignoring people's words... If you're so great, fight alone!"

When the archer couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted.

Sung JiHan responded willingly.

"Oh, really?"

* * *

"Player Sung JiHan. Lacks social skills. Not suitable for BattleNet Pro."

Since Sung JiHan expelled the magician, Im GaYoung had been giving him low scores.

Regardless of right or wrong, it was the proper stance of a BattleNet player that if the opponent made a move, you should just let it go.

"He acts without thinking."

And the problem is...

"He chose the support class?"

Someone who would be more suited for the warrior class had inexplicably chosen the support class.

Why did he make such a choice?

"Is he crazy?"

It was incomprehensible, so she could only think that he was crazy.

And this thought led to one conclusion.

"He has no value to be recruited by the Rational Guild."

If the young lady watches this video, she will surely lose interest.

Thinking that, Im GaYoung walked towards Sung JiHan with a determined posture.

"I will stand in front. Support, please stay behind."

Anyway, the warrior class of this party was hers.

And the warrior should take responsibility for the front.

Even if she didn't like the man's actions, she had to do her job.

Sung JiHan just smiled and waved his hand casually.

"It's okay. There might be zombies leaking, so please protect the archer."

"...?"

Im GaYoung looked at Sung JiHan with a puzzled expression.

Is he really going to fight alone in this situation?

But soon.

"...Okay."

With the feeling of 'go ahead and see for yourself', she quickly went to the archer's side.

As Im GaYoung approached, the archer began to complain like a machine gun.

"Haah. Meeting two trolls... we're really unlucky."

Im GaYoung nodded silently at his words.

"Being at the bottom is a fact. Leveling down... can't be helped."

She had raised her level in the tutorial, but in the next game, she immediately dropped one.

The only fortunate thing was that the first one to die was the annoying magician.

The team ranking would be last, but at least she avoided being the last within the team.

"Yeah. Let's die quickly and start a new game."

With that mindset, Im GaYoung looked at Sung JiHan.

Boo- boo-!

Sung JiHan was swinging on the horizontal bar as if doing warm-up exercises, and his form looked quite familiar.

"He seems quite strong."

But he wouldn't last long.

No master of any martial art could survive against such overwhelming zombie waves.

Especially with such shabby attire.

"He won't last even a minute."

And finally.

"Grrrr-"

The zombies, who were not hindered at all, began to climb up to the top of the tower in earnest.

Other towers were unable to climb even halfway up due to the hard work of the wizards and archers.

This tower has already reached the top because there was no resistance.

Meanwhile.

"I finally made it."

Seeing the swarm of zombies crawling up, Sung JiHan laughed.

Swish. Swish!

The iron rod fell towards the zombies, cutting through the air.

Thud! Thud!

The heads of the zombies burst in an instant.

Im GaYoung's eyes widened.

It was an incredible speed.

Even with her eyes that had experienced countless battles, she couldn't catch the movement of the rod.

The archer's reaction was no different from Im GaYoung's.

He just stood there with his mouth open, praising Sung JiHan.

"...Is this for real?"

"..."

"Warrior, is that person a supporter?"

"...I don't know anymore."

Sung JiHan's dazzling performance with the iron rod was like a circus.

Furthermore, the iron rod was precisely targeting only the heads, which were the weak points of the zombies.

In an instant, dozens of zombies fell.

The archer could understand why Sung JiHan showed such a confident attitude.

A small-sized tower.

The only direction the zombies could climb was the north.

Sung JiHan was able to cover it alone.

"But, what if the Blood Zombies appear... that iron rod won't work."

"...You're right."

At the archer's muttering, Im GaYoung nodded.

Blood Zombies.

Among the zombies, they were particularly strong, with heads made of blood-like liquid, giving them great resistance to physical attacks.

To subdue the Blood Zombies, a special power was needed.

And at the Bronze level, that special power was magic.

"Ah. If I had saved the magician, I could have been in first place..."

Seeing Sung JiHan fight so well unexpectedly, the archer became even more resentful.

Just give me a chance to see!

Why did he have to kill them and turn the team that could have been in first place into last place?

Tsk...

And among the swarming zombies, red smoke began to rise from some of their bodies.

The archer shouted with a regretful expression.

"Bl... Blood Zombies!"

Whoosh!

Among the crawling zombies, five of them jumped high and charged.

Compared to regular zombies, they had significantly superior physical abilities.

Red skin and faces made of blood.

The Blood Zombies rushed towards Sung JiHan in an instant.

It's over now.

The archer thought in despair.

"Huh...?"

Boom! Boom!

The end of the iron rod shook for a moment, and the heads of the five Blood Zombies burst simultaneously.

At the same time, white flames erupted from where the heads had exploded.

Whoosh...

The flames instantly engulfed the entire bodies of the Blood Zombies.

"This can't be true."

Seeing the light flickering at the end of Sung JiHan's iron rod, Im GaYoung doubted her eyes.

That aura of pure white light...

"Holy power?!"
