The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 18: Changing Job (1)

As Ryu Mins eyes scanned the surroundings, they caught a glimpse of a familiar face. That person Seo Arin? She was a rising young actress, popular among the younger generation, known for her exceptional beauty, kind and diligent personality. Her nickname was even Seo Arin.

Why would a girl like that follow me? Ryu Min wondered to himself. He was sure that the person who had been following him was Seo Arin because of her recognizable face, nickname, and the fact that she lived in the penthouse upstairs.

Just as Ryu Min was about to ask why she was being followed, a man emerged from behind a tree, and it appeared that Seo Arin was not the only one following Ryu Min.

Were sorry for the trouble. We didnt follow you with bad intentions. Please forgive us, said the man named An Sang-cheol, smiling as if he wanted to reconcile.

However, Ryu Mins lips didnt move. He recognized the familiar nickname and face. An Sang-cheol? Isnt he Ma Kyung-roks right-hand man?

Ma Kyung-rok was the eldest son of a top domestic conglomerate.

He was one of the people Ryu Min was targeting, going with the nickname Cheonma.

There was also a top-class priest connected to Ma Kyung-rok among those Ryu Min wanted to recruit.

To beat the 20th round, he needed to catch Ma Kyung-roks attention. I didnt expect to meet Ma Kyung-roks right-hand man so soon.

Although Ma Kyung-rok was someone Ryu Min needed to get close to, that didnt mean he was a saint. In fact, he could be considered a villain. He acted gentlemanly on the outside, but he had a psychopathic hobby in secret.

There was no reason for Ryu Min to view this sick man as a favorable candidate.

But why is An Sang-cheol with Seo Arin? Ryu Min recalled the man he saw when he visited the upper floor. He was the one who made Ryu Won nervous while he was standing next to Seo Arin when he tried to give her that rice cake.

Is it possible that the man who was with Seo Arin is actually An Sang-cheol? Although he couldnt be sure they were the same person since he had customized his appearance, Ryu Min had a hunch that it was him.

There was a rumor that Ma Kyung-rok sponsored celebrities as part of his business.

It seemed likely that the man he saw yesterday was An Sang-cheol.

Where did you start following me? Ryu Min asked the group.

From the starting point. We saw you going into the forest and followed you Were sorry if we made you feel uncomfortable, they apologized, but Ryu Mins expression didnt soften.

In the previous rounds, no one had followed him. It was natural that Seo Arin had no reason to follow him. The future has changed. Its because I did something different from before Could it be because of that rice cake?

He had only given her rice cake and met her, but it seemed to have had an impact on her feelings, leading to her following him. Why did you follow me? Ryu Min asked Seo Arin, his tone cold.

I didnt follow you with bad intentions I wanted to propose something, Seo Arin replied nervously.

Propose?

Yes You won first place in round one, right? So, I thought it would be good if we could work together

Work together? Ryu Mins lips curled into a sneer. Isnt that a term used when someone needs help from another person?

Yes, thats right.

Ryu Min said with a mocking smile. I dont need you guys. I can fight well on my own. Didnt you see everything during the chase?

Seo Arin nodded in agreement, realizing that Ryu Min was right.

After chasing after him for 30 minutes, they saw how many corpses Ryu Min has left behind him.

It was a scene so overwhelmingly powerful that they knew he wouldnt need such an alliance to survive.

Dont waste my time with pointless proposals, and just go back. I have no desire to team up with anyone, Ryu Min said, turning his back as if there was nothing left to see.

As he disappeared into the forest, An Sang-cheol expressed his dissatisfaction.

Whats up with that guy? Hes as arrogant as they come.

On the other hand, Seo Arin, visibly relieved, slumped to the ground.

Ha I guess it wasnt for nothing that he was the top ranked in the first round. His intimidation is no joke.

Intimidation, huh? Well, anyone would be tense if they were threatened with a sword, wouldnt they?

Still, because he was ranked first, there was a sense of atmosphere that was hard to comprehend. His gaze was also frightening

Maybe its because he customized himself well. It would be difficult if we think of him as the face of reality.

I guess. Mr.bodyguard has also changed his face

Seo Arin sighed deeply as she looked in the direction where Black Scythe had disappeared.

I hoped to team up with the top ranked player, but it didnt go as planned.

See, what did I say? I told you, someone like him, with such a strong sense of pride, wouldnt make a good ally.

Thats true but I thought it would be better to team up because it increases our survival rate.

If we had managed to get the Black Scythe on board, it would have been better

Forget it. Let such a sick human being life and die on his own. He would only be a hindrance if we tried to put him in a team.

But its still a shame.

Its a shame indeed. We wasted our time following him for nothing.

Joining forces to survive in this harsh world was not an easy task.

But I didnt know there would be monsters in the forest.

Exactly.

Doesnt the Black Scythe have any interest in the vote? Theyre probably discussing who to choose as the representative at the starting point

He probably thinks its difficult to be chosen as the representative, so he gave up on it from the beginning.

Seo Arin nodded in agreement with An Sang-cheols words.

Since only one person out of five thousand would be chosen, the competition would be fierce.

Well, lets go back too. Maybe well get a lot of votes just because youre a celebrity?

An Sang-cheol turned his head and said so, but Seo Arin didnt plan on moving.

Um how about hunting during the remaining time we have instea?

What? Hunting?

Yes. Black Scythe has already given up on the vote, and theres no way it would be us, right?

An Sang-cheol nodded at her reasonable words.

Well, thats not a bad idea either.

Then lets go, Mr. Bodyguard.

The two of them entered the forest, weapons in hand.

They had given up on the chasing Black Scythe.

They didnt have the confidence to persuade him, and they were afraid that they might get killed by his sword if they followed him again.

But what they didnt know

Crack-

That someone was chasing after them too.
