Level Up
Chapter 1 Part 2
Hyunsuk stood up and walked over slowly to the area where Chang Soo’s group was fighting. If Hyunsuk decides to slay the dragonfly at the last moment, they won’t die.
THUNK! THUNK! THUNK!
The thunder dragonfly was putting in every ounce of its strength and pouring out the thunderbolts.
“No!”
“AGHHHHHHHH!”
The group could not block the attack and were swiped away from the forces of the thunderbolt. Hyunsuk took this chance and bolted at the dragonfly.
The thunder dragonfly does not fly high. Therefore, the fight with it is bearable. Also, after its exceeding usage of strength, the dragonfly puts down its guard for a short time.
“Just like this.”
Hyunsuk ran and slid underneath the dragonfly, slitting the connection between the abdomen and the head with his knife.
SQUISH!
CRACK!
A gush of its bodily fluids poured out as the split widened. Hyunsuk slid right out from under the dragonfly without a single drop of it landing on him.
The creature let out a piercing shriek as the fluids continued to flow out of its nearly dying body. That was the dragonfly’s weakest point in its body and it surfaces only momentarily after continuously throwing out hard blows of thunder.
Hyunsuk once again charged towards the dragonfly. Even though he damaged the weak point of the thunder dragonfly, he could not kill it with just that.
He jumped onto the tail of the creature and ran across its back.
The dragonfly writhed and wriggled, but Hyunsuk kept his balance and continued to run across the huge creature’s back. He reached the head of the insect.
Hyunsuk gripped the knife with both hands and with massive force, plunged the knife deep into the thunder dragonfly’s head. He held on tightly to the knife and kept it stuck inside the forehead – its second weak point.
The dragonfly let out a deafening scream and fell straight to the ground. Hyunsuk jumped off the back of the insect and landed swiftly on the floor.
Nobody could call Hyunsuk a rookie player. In order to have attained the skills that Hyunsuk possessed, one would have had to be in this field for a few years. No, maybe even ten years.
Chang Soo Choi, who was half dead on the floor, mumbled, “Shit, I really got messed up this time.” He tried using his opponent as bait but the tables had been turned on him instead and he was the one defeated. Chang Soo could not move because his body was paralyzed from the continuous blows of the thunder. All his comrades were all unconscious.
Hyunsuk walked towards Chang Soo.
“Thanks for the thunderbolt flower potion. It was delicious and because of it, I experienced something phenomenal.”
At Hyunsuk’s words, Chang Soo closed his eyes. He had no excuse to give to him when Hyunsuk was already aware of what Chang Soo had done.
“You know I actually wondered why you decided to do this now.”
Chang Soo looked at Hyunsuk with a confused expression. He could not understand what Hyunsuk was saying.
“But you know, the answer is very obvious,” as Hyunsuk said that, he turned his head and looked at the slain thunder dragonfly.
He looked back and forth at Chang Soo and the dragonfly with a sinister look on his face.
At this point, Chang Soo knew crossing Hyunsuk was a big mistake. Shit.
*
Hyunsuk slowly opened his eyes. What came in view was an all too familiar ceiling.
He was currently laying down on the bed from a one bedroom apartment he had used in his youth. He had used this apartment until he lost his sight. And when he became blind, he moved to a place that was more compatible with his needs. A flood of memories rushed back into his mind.
The most poignant memory was of somebody who had helped him in his times of need. He was suddenly overwhelmed by his emotions, but his eyes still twinkled.
The person that used to help him died in the dungeon. But if he had really gone back to the past, his helper’s death had not yet taken place. This meant he could change the fate of his helper.
As you live your life, having somebody that you can trust is the biggest blessing a person could have.
Hyunsuk has had the privilege of meeting someone like this, that is, if he could prevent his blessing’s life being taken away in the dungeon. He sat up abruptly and looked around the surroundings of his room. When he returned home last night, he felt as if a certain fullness filled the room.
When he awoke from his sleep, he felt that he woke from a long dream. But, it was not a dream at all.
“Okay first let’s understand the situation and then clean up and take things on one by one.”
Hyunsuk washed up and changed.
It was time to go see the people he had made an appointment to meet with yesterday. It wasn’t likely that they’d keep their appointment with him.
But it didn’t matter. In fact, he was hoping that they would not show up to their appointment.
“It probably won’t get through to them until they get a taste of their own medicine
a couple times.”
He heard about Chang Soo Choi a few times in the past. But it was so long ago that it was a fuzzy memory in his mind. Either way, the things he heard about Chang Soo were not good things. The same rumors kept appearing until one day, it all stopped.
Chang Soo probably died. He suddenly disappeared from the world. Not surprising.
But this time, something will definitely be a little different. Whether good or bad luck follows, something will be different.
Hyunsuk left his room. When he got downstairs, with his regained vision, he looked his apartment building up and down. It was a building full of memories, but he could not let those memories hold him back. There was no point in doing so.
When he got enough to look at from the one room apartment, he turned his back on it coldly and walked away. Afterall, there isn’t much of a reason to return to this place.

Who knows, but Korean novels do seem to be slightly darker than their Japanese and Chinese counterparts, so it’ll probably be a thing?
