I Login Alone

Episode 132.

“Marina Bissett and even Seria Wilson are here!”

“They’re here! The main sniper is here!”

“W-we can win!”

Most of the players, who were unable to handle the colossal teddy bear’s attack, cheered at the group’s sight. Lee Seo-hee didn’t care at all that her name wasn’t mentioned. This was because she was fully aware that she hadn’t enough experience to be in between them. The problem was that the main striker’s name, worthy of being mentioned, wasn’t even called.

“Where’s Si-woo?”

“Huh?”

Only then did Marina realize that Jung Si-woo wasn’t around. Seria spoke briefly to her, who was so baffled that her eyes nearly bugged out of her head.

“Si-woo-nim didn’t come here with us from the beginning.”

“Seria, what are you talking about…”

“If someone asks, just say so.”

Could it be that Jung Si-woo, because of the teddy bear…it couldn’t have been that he disappeared because he didn’t want to fight a strong monster. Seria judged so and quickly organized the position they should take. The story was that, from the beginning, only the girls came here. Jung Si-woo was unable to come because he was fighting in a dungeon.

“Si-woo is so…why is he always moving without me?”

Marina also fully understood Seria’s words. That made her feel more reprehensive. Seria slapped her shoulder with a rare bitter smile as Marina puffed her cheeks thickly with upset.

“Let’s think that he trusted us and made us take charge here.”

“Even if you comfort me, I’m not happy at all. Hmph.”

But she’s not wrong. Didn’t Jung Si-woo even strengthen her pistol at the right time? She would kill the monster in an instant then question him. She took out her dual pistols with that firm determination.

“Let’s go first! If you don’t want to fall behind, come quickly!’

“That teddy bear, it won’t last long.”

“Si-woo…”

The three Valkyries advanced. A super-massive teddy bear, who was destroying cathedrals and the castle wall with traces from the Middle Ages, found them and roared with might. Still, Marina only responded by feeding him an extra-large Mana bullet. At that time, Jung Si-woo rushed in the passage to the alien world he had found in that split second and crossed beyond it.

[You have entered the world of Potupou]

[The gate will expire in the next 3 minutes. If you have the key to enter the resting place, you can return to the resting place on Earth, but only in places where there is no influence of a god.]

“Ohh, that’s good. I get new information by doing things I never did before.”

“Well, I’m so happy about that, am I not?!”

Soo Ah-rin, who ran out of his arms, snapped at him, but Jung Si-woo didn’t listen as usual. He noted the name of the world, Potupou, and the fact that he could return to Earth as long as he had the key to the resting place.

“We’ve only used the gates to the temple that gods influence directly interfered or the Evil Castle. They were all gates created by the god itself sending its subordinates to Earth with strong intentions. The maintenance power was strong as it was created by a god’s power, too.”

“But this gate isn’t. One of the countless gates that the alien world’s monsters, who have only received a weak amount of a god’s power that was divided, use to come over to Earth. The gate is short-lived as a result…”

“At the same time, the power of the resting place entry key wherever a god’s influence isn’t reached…in other words, we can harness the Ant Cave’s power.”

It’s great because it’s clear. Jung Si-woo decided to call the space such as a temple or an Evil Castle an Instant Dungeon, and this world-like space that they came through the passage of the alien world as a Field Dungeon.

“That’s exquisite naming…”

“Right? And here, it seems like designation is possible.”

The words really surprised Soo Ah-rin. A Designation was an option attached to the door of the resting place. Jung Si-woo was able to come here at any time through the resting place’s door by designating up to three points as exits. That meant…

“It means that we can always cross to this world!”

“I told you, it’s a Field Dungeon, right?”

Jung Si-woo said so and designated this place as one of the exits. When the resting place door level rose to 4, he wasn’t interested in the new function the door had. Still, the stock also had a lot of room since the level-up increased the number of places to designate as exits to five.

“But anyway, a god’s touch must have been reached as it is an exit from the alien world to the Earth. From now on, let’s set finding that as an objective.”

“We’ve been returning right back after breaking the target, whether it’s a temple or a demon castle…it’s an alien world exploration in the true sense of the word.”

Soo Ah-rin stood by in Jung Si-woo’s arms in mini-mode, and Yong Se-ha flew by Jung Si-woo’s side, descending, having raised his shield and lance. Jung Si-woo, riding on the Phantom Bike, started the engine very slowly, wary of his surroundings.

“Although I didn’t expect a rich natural scenery…it’s dreary here, too.”

“Perhaps the Earth would flow like this?”

Would this really be close to the end of all the worlds? It must not be. He hoped not. While he was speeding up in earnest, hoping so, Jung Si-woo sensed the presence of Mana that he had never expected.

“Uh…hmm.”

“Oppa?”

“No, let’s go.”

The speed of the bike increased. He didn’t necessarily conceal himself. After three minutes of racing with his presence as visible as possible, he was able to find a monster that was exactly the same as the teddy bear he had noticed just before entering the passage leading from Earth to Potupou.

“Shoot in that direction! Don’t retreat!”

“No, his wounds are causing its smaller bodies to rise…oh, damn it! I told you that you have to apply enough wounds everywhere to the point that it wouldn’t separate!”

“O-oh, no. We’re screwed! We’re screwed!”

But it wasn’t the teddy bear that mattered; it was the beings that fought against them.

“Ah.”

Following Jung Si-woo, Soo Ah-rin, who realized their existence, went fish-eyed.

“People! They’re people!”

“Yeah, and they’re even…”

Jung Si-woo smiled in a way that as if it were truly interesting, checking out wings that sprang up behind their backs.

“They’re players. Perhaps of an alien world.”

Now that he had checked it out until that point, there was nothing more to hesitate about. The small number of players were in trouble due to the constant pushback of the teddy bear. It couldn’t be that he would be cursed as “stealing” just because he stepped in now! Jung Si-woo pulled the full throttle and shouted excitedly.

“The long-awaited main striker is here! Now be at ease!”

“Such an old gag!”

He immediately sped up the Phantom Bike and simultaneously floated it into the sky. His targets were the small monster entities that popped out of the teddy bear’s back like cotton bursting out! The next moment a bright light lingered on the tip of his stretched-out ten fingers to the front, the ten rounds of Critical Bullet fired out, piercing and killing the monsters. Although it was his first time seeing other monsters coming out of a monster’s body like that…

“If this hasn’t become very fun!”

“W-Who is that guy?”

“A resister from other regions…wait, he doesn’t have wings!”

“Instead, a tail!”

“T-tail!?”

It seems that in their terms, a player was called a resister. Potupou’s player…while each of the resisters was baffled and spoke after recognizing Jung Si-woo, Jung Si-woo fired ten more Critical Bullets again to burst the teddy bear’s smaller monsters and eventually rammed the back of the teddy bear hard with the motorcycle’s front fender.

“It’s a road rolleeeeeeeeeer!”

“It’s not a road roller!”

[Guaaaaaang!]

The effect of Cruel Charge, which was created by concentrating Mana on the front fender, was incredible! It was enough to make the giant teddy bear that was well over a few tens of meters tall tilt over in an instant! The resisters cheered for the result made by the small man.

“Wherever you come from, it’s fine! Fight him off with us!”

“Dibs on Mana Stone!”

Jung Si-woo soared into the air again, claiming his share despite the urgent situation. The Teddy Bear was staring at him, violently vomiting out the little monsters through its head wound. Who could have thought it would increase as it would be wounded…the world was indeed wide, and there were many monsters.

“To say that it’s not an elite, and it has just been roaming around the world…but the level of players is low compared to that. It’s truly a ruined world.”

“It’s fortunate enough that those who haven’t fallen for a god’s power are still alive.”

“Hyung-nim, I’m going to take those little entities down.”

“Okay, I’ll leave you to it.”

As Yong Se-ha rushed in like an arrow and showed himself dealing with the small entities, the thoughts of the players who were fighting the teddy bear seemed to have reached there, too. Each of them was holding a weapon and starting to fight against the small entities, avoiding the teddy bear. It couldn’t be anything but a perfect division of roles.

“It is massive, and it generates small entities every time it is injured. But basically, it only fights with physical force using its massive body…therefore, that is-”

Jung Si-woo finally pulled his hammer out of the inventory. The weapon that was completed from the summation of several coincidences, an inevitable fate that was aimed with determination, and lastly, Jung Si-woo’s hard work: it was the Devil Lord’s Punishment.

“So, it’s only an aggregate of countless little teddy bears, huh.”

It would be better if there were a vital point that could kill the giant teddy bear at once, but since it was the small teddy bears that made up that big one, that was impossible as well. It was rather tricky because they had no choice but to attack until all teddy bears died. If that was the case of an ordinary player, that was.

“Now, finally, it’s a legit real performance stage…Dev-Pun.”

“I made it clear that you shouldn’t call it by that weird nickname.”

“Then DP.”

“You just forced the Korean alphabet into English initials! Besides, the nickname is difficult for many reasons!”

That’s right. It was kind of disappointing if there were no criticisms like this. Feeling an unidentified sense of satisfaction, Jung Si-woo activated the hammer’s first option, Gigantification.

“Gigantification, small.”

At the moment he spoke in a whisper and injected Mana, the handle of the sledgehammer lengthened sufficiently longer than 20 times, and the pendulum hanging at the end was also amplified dozens of times. The weight was also amplified, but it was enough for Jung Si-woo to withstand it. The only question was…

“I’ve definitely ordered small, but why have so much arrived like this…”

“Someone would think you ordered sweet and sour pork.”

That was enough comic talk. Jung Si-woo injected Mana into the hammer’s pendulum to ensure that the property, black lightning, was drawn out. It was a compound property that captures the power of curse and lightning simultaneously; the slightest touch from it would lead to an average monster’s death.

[K-kwooooooong!]

The giant teddy bear took a back step when it realized that Jung Si-woo’s weapon of choice was unusual, but there was no room for him to run away from the start. Jung Si-woo smiled brightly and launched the phantom bike. The huge hammer in his hand began a rotation of death for the attack. And the moment the gigantic pendulum drew a half circle of black spark in the air-

The Devil Lord’s Punishment fell to the ground.
