Return of the Frozen Player 016

 

Personal commission (2)

 

“How was it” Shim Deok-gu asked as soon as Seo Jun-ho entered his office.

 

“What do you mean”

 

“Cha Si-eun.

Isnt she great”

 

“We only spent two hours together.

How should I know” After a pause, Seo Jun-ho continued.

“…Well, shes good at giving briefings.”

 

“You have no idea.

She could work at a conglomerate company or a famous guild with her credentials.”

 

“Then why is she working at a place like this”

 

“Didnt you notice She really admires Specter.

She said she wanted to work here simply because Specter was here for a while.”

 

“What a strange girl.” As Seo Jun-ho muttered to himself, Shim Deok-gu stood up.

 

“Anyways, shes good at her job, so make good use of her.

Lets go.”

 

“Go where”

 

“If you want to defeat the Cinder Fox, youll need good equipment.”

 

“Were going shopping”

 

“No.

Were going to the Associations weapons warehouse.”

 

“…You cheap bastard.”

 

“Hey, they make good stuff.

Take a look before you judge.” Shim Deok-gu led his grumpy friend and started toward the warehouse.

 

“Ive gone there before.

There isnt much.”

 

“You only went to zone 1 last time.”

 

The back door of zone 1 opened as Shim Deok-gus iris was scanned.

 

“Dont you think you at least need gear from zone 2 if youre gonna fight the Cinder Fox”

 

“…Hoo.” Now interested, Seo Jun-ho slowly looked around zone 2.

The quality of the equipment was much better than in zone 1.

“Can I take anything I want”

 

“Yeah.

I can explain them to you if youd like.”

 

“Please.

Theres a lot of unfamiliar stuff here since its been a long time.” Shim Deok-gu laughed and grabbed the sword in front of Seo Jun-ho.

 

“Do you remember the game wed play in PC bangs* after school”

(PR: “PC room”, basically internet/gaming cafés.)

 

“Yeah.

League of Gods, was it”

 

“Yeah.

Whenever they had big patches, they released new builds and items.”

 

“Right.

When it came out, wed come up with strategies and plans.” They laughed as they reminisced.

 

“Its the same with gears.

Theyve been developing for the past 25 years.” Shim Deok-gu held out the sword to Seo Jun-ho.

 

“Take it.” He did.

It was of high quality, but other than that, it just seemed like a normal sword.

However, it felt much lighter.

 

“Im a little disappointed.

Its nice… but its pretty normal.”

 

“Infuse it with magic.” As soon as he did, Seo Jun-hos eyes widened in surprise.

 

“…What is this”

 

“Its a sword with the highest rate of magic transference.

Your old sword couldnt do this, could it”

 

“Yeah.”

 

“These weapons are the same.” Shim Deok-gu excitedly introduced Seo Jun-ho to the other equipment.

 

“This one releases electricity.

You can stun monsters with it.”

 

“If you infuse this armor with magic, it creates an energy shield to block the enemys attacks.”

 

“Oh, have I explained this one Its called a magic bomb.

Its super powerful.” Shim Deok-gu paused and glanced toward Seo Jun-ho.

“…Hey, whats with that face I thought youd be more excited.” After all, Seo Jun-ho was greedy when it came to items.

 

“I mean, it is impressive… but you said most players use these sort of things nowadays”

 

“Of course.

Theyre a lot more efficient than the normal weapons we used back then.”

 

“…”

 

Seo Jun-ho furrowed his eyebrows and turned back to him.

“Then when do they train with them”

 

“Huh Thats…” Shim Deok-gu shrugged.

“Im not a player, so Im not too sure, but do they really need to train with them All the newest equipment is at this level.”

 

“Haa…” Seo Jun-ho shook his head.

“Deok-gu, the… rankers.

Do they use these things too”

 

“Well, rankers usually get custom-made gear, so Im not too sure.”

 

“…”

 

Pursing his lips, Seo Jun-ho thought for a second. He said that the standards for players have gone up… I can see that. 

 

In the past, players would die miserable deaths because they couldnt pierce the orcs hides.

But with these new weapons, an orcs hide could easily be stabbed through. But these are mere toys that can only kill normal monsters at best. 

 

These weapons couldnt be used to hunt the strongest ones—predators that made even Seo Jun-ho nervous.

 

These toys wouldnt even put a scratch on them.

He was sure of it. A players magic will short-circuit in front of such destructive power. 

 

And what about these fake artifacts that werent even worthy of a grade rating Theyd simply break and fall apart.

 

“Not only that, the Cinder Fox…” It was the strongest of its kind, aBoss Monster.

 

Getting a little annoyed at Seo Jun-hos long silence, Shim Deok-gu finally spoke up.

 

“Why arent you saying anything Is there a problem”

 

“Theres only one type of monster these toys can defeat.” Seo Jun-ho placed the sword back to its place and shook his head.

“Deok-gu, do you know why a player only encounters weak monsters when their level is low”

 

“…Because theyll die if they encounter a strong one”

 

“Exactly.

This **ty system is really fair about things like that.”

 

“What are you trying to say”

 

Seo Jun-ho closed his eyes and recalled the training he and his four comrades went through.

 

“…A player grows by fighting monsters.

That way, they can use the experience and skills theyve accumulated to face more powerful monsters.”

 

“So you think these high-tech weapons wont work on strong monsters.”

 

“Yeah.

Thats why I asked if rankers use these too.”

 

“…” Shim Deok-gu paused to consider this.

 

“Youre right… players who use these weapons dont exactly achieve much.

But theyre great for Gates and low-leveled monsters.”

 

Chuckling, Seo Jun-ho looked around.

Something caught his eye, and he walked toward a corner.

A longsword was propped up against the wall.

 

Shing.

 

The sound rang across the room as he pulled the sword out of its sheath.

 

“Whats this”

 

“Thats also made with new materials.

But it doesnt have any particular features, so I just put it away in the corner.”

 

“…The world has become very interesting.

Personal growth has been hindered by mere toys.” That was probably because the world was so peaceful.

“Ill take this.

I dont need anything else.

Oh!” Seo Jun-ho grabbed a few of the magic bombs.

“And these look pretty fun, so Ill take some.”

 

“Alright…” Shim Deok-gus shoulders sagged as he muttered to himself.

 

 

There was a crowd of people gathered in front of the Burning Dunes Gate.

They were mostly players and their families, but there were also reporters waiting for Seo Jun-ho.

“Thats a lot of people.” Cha Si-eun shuffled in her seat as Seo Jun-ho looked outside.

She opened her thermos and offered it to him.

 

“Its lavender tea.

Its good for concentration as well as easing the body and mind.”

 

“…You really came prepared.”

 

“Im a secretary.

I heard that players get quite nervous and anxious before entering a Gate…” She tilted her head as she studied him.

“But its strange.

You dont seem nervous at all.”

 

“…I am, on the inside.” Seo Jun-ho blew on the tea before taking a sip and looked back outside.

“Its good.

But I didnt expect there to be this many players.”

 

“Youre not going in alone.

They all want the Cinder Foxs core.”

 

“I heard that there are guild members here too.

How many players are there”

 

“Counting Jun-ho-nim, there are a total of 27 players who will go inside the Gate.” And they didnt know how many would return.

Seo Jun-ho shook his head and got out of the car.

As soon as he did, he was showered with camera flashes and mics shoved in his face.

 

“How do you feel about going inside a Gate with other players for the first time”

 

“The Cinder Fox is known to be a fickle Boss Monster.

How confident are you”

 

“Is it true that you received a commission from the Myungho Groups President, Choi Pil-ho” The other players snickered as the reporters crowded him.

 

“Wow, youd think hes a ranker or something.”

 

“Hes been blowing up even though hes a rookie.

The newspapers are all over him.”

 

“That scrawny guy cleared two Uncleared Gates Were the reports mistaken”

 

“I dont believe it either.

His equipment looks shabby too.”

 

“Well… he probably has stuff in his inventory.

Do you think hed clear the Gate with just that”

 

There was a simple reason for their contempt.

There were almost no novices who received as much attention as Seo Jun-ho did.

Most players who werent part of famous guilds couldnt even land interviews.

 

Seo Jun-ho knew this too.

 

There are this many reporters already… Its more than in the past. 

 

It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that the reporters were a representation of his hold on the media.

Feeling good about himself, he curled his lips.

 

“Nervous I feel like Im out for a walk.”

 

“Cinder Fox Ill defeat it easily.” As soon as he ended the short interviews, Cha Si-eun stepped up.

 

“For the sake of player Seo Jun-hos mental state, we will end the interviews here.” The reporters looked disappointed, but it would be rude to pester someone who was about to enter a Gate.

As they started to disperse, Cha Si-eun let out a sigh.

 

“Phew, I didnt know that there would be this many reporters.”

 

“It just shows how interested they are in me.”

 

“…”

 

Cha Si-eun scanned the other players.

There was no one else who looked as calm as Seo Jun-ho. And hes only been to two Gates before… Was he trying to act cool because he was in front of a girl

 

Cha Si-eun glanced at Seo Jun-ho before nodding at him.

 

“Please return safely.”

 

“Yes.

And please make me lavender tea again.

It was good.” As he started to walk toward the other players, he said something else.

“Oh, and you should get up earlier tomorrow.”

 

“Excuse me Get up early…” Cha Si-eun blinked as Seo Jun-ho turned back to face her.
