* * *

Inside the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency building.

A man wearing a name tag with the name Yoo Do-hoon on it greets an executive who just happened to be entering the building.

“Chief, Vice-Chief, Chief. Hello, all three of you.”

There are people who are called the One, Two, and Three of the Seoul Hunter Police Agency.

Hunter Chief of Police Kang Hyo-tae. Deputy Chief of Police Bong Seong-pil. And Seoul Headquarters Chief Ahn Gyeok-ho.

They say that in order to prevent the power of the police from being concentrated in one person, the responsibility was divided among three people… … .

Because these three people became one body as if they were a triumvirate, it was as if power was concentrated in one place.

Maybe that’s why.

Yoo Do-hoon, who had been out of favor with them for a long time, was, as always, thoroughly ignored by them today.

“Vice-Minister, it seems like the Purification Guild really takes good care of the dungeons. You were really great today.”

An Gyeok-ho checks the deputy director’s mood. As expected from his exclusive daughter, he doesn’t forget to praise him.

“What’s so great about it? Wasn’t it all thanks to the mayor who arranged the board? Seoul is so comfortable today because the mayor is here!”

Another rattle with a dedicated rattle licks its owner. The owner is so happy he doesn’t know what to do.

“We’re leading by example and growing like this, so our juniors won’t have to worry either. Right? Hahahaha!”

The owner at the very top laughs heartily. The two daughters next to him give him a round of applause.

It was such a familiar sight that Yoo Do-hoon couldn’t even laugh out loud. Everything had rotted away.

On the first floor of the Seoul Hunter Police Station building, there is a row of photos hanging as large as a door.

All of them were photos taken by key officials of the National Police Agency with Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong.

They keep a large picture frame in the lobby, cherishing it as if it were a silver medal.

He was so dedicated that he had someone on duty every day to clean the picture frame over and over again.

If there is even a trace of a tiny speck of dust or fingerprints, the cleaning staff is fired that day.

“after.”

Yoo Do-hoon sighed as he felt the mean warmth left in the place of the three executives who had disappeared without a trace.

Even though the police were criticized as the 2nd Platoon of the Purification Guild, he never gave up his loyalty.

However, this is because the National Police Agency is the ‘only’ public institution in the country that monitors the interests and reality of hunters.

At the same time, in this dark world, I wanted to protect at least those within the reach of the police department.

It was a deep meaning that others said was useless, but it was something that Yoo Do-hoon always had in his heart.

‘Where on earth is our police department headed right now? The Purification Guild isn’t everything in the world.’

However, in order to contain his deep intentions, the police department had become a pitiful organization that only paid attention to the opinions of the Purification Guild.

And all members who rebelled against the executives, like Yoo Do-hoon, were demoted and ‘exiled’ to the basement.

There wasn’t only Yu Do-hoon here. There were quite a few hunters who shared his views.

“Ugh.”

As I enter the stairs leading to the basement, I am struck by the distinct smell of a corpse.

Today, too, I have to take charge of the post-processing of the bodies recovered from Ground Zero.

I’m not a mortician, so I wonder what kind of work this is… … but it’s something I have to do if I want to stay in the police department.

Kuk.

Yoo Do-hoon hides his anger and resentment in the hands he clenches, and has a fake smile on his lips that anyone can see.

Same thing today.

The day of an outsider hated by the police begins with a rotting corpse in the basement.

It was a day no different from any other day, a trivial, shabby, and unmatched day.

* * *

Around that time.

Kang-hu, who had confirmed the firepower of Hwa-ryong-chang, was turning his attention elsewhere.

First of all, the effect of the Hwa-ryong-chang skill using a window was clear.

The entire length of the long spear was engulfed in blazing flames, enough to maximize its lethality.

However, since the weapon was a ‘spear’, it could not give Kang-hoo, the assassin, any advantage in terms of stats.

So, I tried to change the idea to see if I could use the Hwa-ryong-chang skill on a dagger.

In conclusion, it was possible.

It was also a possible picture because it was Kang-hoo. It was possible because there was no penalty for learning skills from other professions.

Of course, since the Fire Dragon Spear skill itself was a skill that created flames that burned as long as the weapon, the flames of the Fire Dragon Spear skill implemented with a dagger were much shorter than those implemented with a long spear.

But the options have diversified in that it’s possible, and you don’t necessarily have to stick to windows.

【Shin Gang-hu Lv. 235】

【Class: Assassin】

【Unique talent: Fairly good stamina / Very good body vision】

【Strength 1063】【Agility 1203】

【Stamina 915】【Magic Power 21】

【Anti-Ma 560】【Matjip 710】

【* Dark Age 455】

“My heart races every time I see magic.”

Kang-hoo, who checked the stat window for the first time in a long time, sighed as he saw the magical power that stood out.

Once your Magic stat exceeds 50, you will no longer be able to see any of the Savage Age effects.

So I’m being as careful as I can, but there was one variable.

The goal is to pray for the soul of the hunter you just killed and obtain stats that are provided randomly.

Due to the effect of the constellation of the Vile Priest, it is also an effect where it is impossible to know what stats will be given.

‘If your magic power exceeds 30, then it would be right to refrain from praying.’

It’s okay, I’m still 21.

However, if you are unlucky, your mana stat can increase to the maximum of 10 at once.

I didn’t plan on doing any unnecessary tightrope walking. That Maginot Line is the magic stat of 30.

“Now it’s clear where to apply skill enhancements.”

Kang-hoo paused for a moment.

As soon as I entered the dungeon, I immediately attacked the middle boss, so I needed a moment to catch my breath.

Originally, I was thinking of postponing the opportunity to strengthen skills that I got last time as much as possible.

If possible, I wanted to copy the named person’s skill and then strengthen that skill.

But there was no promise.

To be exact, I wasn’t sure how to use the one and only opportunity to copy skills.

So, instead of waiting until I could copy a new skill, I decided to level up the skill I currently have that had the highest value.

Currently, Kang-hoo has a total of three ultimate skills through skill enhancement: Clone Technique, Protective Barrier, and Blood Flower.

The clone technique is used to great effect to distract and deceive, and the protective barrier is perfectly specialized for defense.

And Blood Flame is always used as a finishing touch or as a means of causing serious injury in every battle. It is the best skill.

If we were to choose a skill that receives a lot of love from Kang-hoo like the three skills above, there is only one conclusion.

It’s the Great Decapitation. Recently, it was given the Dark Age attribute, so its usability in all directions has increased.

“As much as Blood Flame, Decapitation is used as a finishing move. It’s a waste to put it in the general skill.”

Hesitation is minimal, decisions are made quickly. Kang-hoo linked skill enhancement to beheading.

All displays and content regarding the skill have been changed.

What will the evolved Great Decapitator look like? For now, the name remains the same.

【Great Beheading】

【Skill Proficiency: Ultimate】

【Depletes 15% of stamina and magic power each, dealing a fatal blow to a designated target.】

【Damage is proportional to the weapon worn and the user’s total strength, and inversely proportional to the opponent’s toughness.】

【Monsters with a level lower than 33% of the user’s level or Hunters will be killed in one hit.】

【The target that is stabbed with the dagger used in the Great Decapitation skill will continue to bleed permanently until the dagger is removed.】

【Condemnation: You can execute enemies whose health falls below 10%. Can be done once a day.

When the execution is activated, it causes shock and causes instant death, but it is only activated if your damage contribution is at least 50%.】

“Stamina and magic power consumption has decreased from 25% to 15%. My shoulders feel quite light.”

I liked the change from the first line.

There’s a difference between using a quarter of your stamina and magic power at once and using a seventh of it.

In addition, although it is conditional, the bleeding will continue as long as the dagger is stuck, so the options have increased.

The most interesting thing is the Conviction option. It was also possible to apply the other skills that Kang-hoo had.

For example, when dealing with an enemy whose stamina is low, use Blood Fire to inflict significant damage.

It is also possible to apply the drawing to trigger execution while lowering stamina to below 10%.

According to the original setting, the ‘instant death’ option is a higher concept than invincibility. It means that death cannot be avoided.

Looking at the detailed tooltip, it seems that the icon is automatically activated when an enemy’s health falls below 10%.

It had a dagger mark dripping blood on it, and to anyone who saw it, it looked like a sign of death.

In this way, there are now a total of 4 ultimate skills.

This is an overwhelming difference considering that it is difficult for an average hunter to even have one ultimate skill.

That would be the case, because in order to upgrade to the ultimate skill through skill enhancement… … .

This is because it is essential to reach the maximum proficiency level for the skill in question. It is a basic condition, so it cannot be ignored.

Thanks to the Dimension Robber, any skill, even the Monster skill, starts at Max proficiency.

It was a moment when I realized the power of the constellations once again. ‘Constellation Red’ definitely exists. It is as big as item red.

Then, suddenly.

Kang-hoo stopped in his seat as another thought occurred to him.

‘The side effects of taking Mad Solarkyum’s Gakshinhwan are negated. Could it be that I have developed a tolerance?’

It was an idea of ​​a two-potion combination that I had found fun using when dealing with the swarm queen some time ago.

In the original ‘The Villain Who Became a Savior’s Life Guide’, there was no such thing as a panacea.

If there was something to gain, there was always something to lose in return, so there was always a need to weigh the gains and losses.

However, considering the current situation, the combination of Mad Solarkyum and Gakshinhwan does not cause any harm.

When I was serializing the original work, I received feedback from readers that I was an evil writer who drove the main character to extremes.

It is unlikely that Shin Kang-hoo’s weaknesses will be overcome so easily. There will definitely be some losses or weaknesses that require it.

“Anyway… … I guess I’m just getting what I deserve. If I were to curse, it would be like spitting in my own face, so I can’t do that.”

Kang-hoo smiled bitterly.

Everything in this world now is something we created ourselves.

What we cannot remember is also a product of ourselves that exists somewhere in the realm of the unconscious.

Who can I blame?

All I can do is adapt and challenge myself.

Four hours later.

Having comfortably reached level 236 and with 237 just around the corner, Kang-hoo has now entered the boss monster section.

After playing solo in this mystery dungeon, I found that it was possible to defeat monsters up to level 350.

It is not easy to take down multiple enemies one-on-one, but it is sufficient to lure them in and deal with them one-on-one.

“It’s you, the master of this place.”

Kang-hoo saw the boss monster standing in front of him, its large upper body raised and staring at him with a blank expression.

The name is Leo.

It was a bipedal, humanoid monster that resembled a lion.

Looking at his muscular body without a single ounce of fat, it didn’t seem like it would be an easy fight.
