Damned 13th Regression – 0



Prologue + Start by defeating the boss.

Prologue

The tower collapses in two.

From the 88th floor to the 1st floor.

From the top of the tower two shadows fall to the floor.

The impact caused tens of thousands of flagstones from the floor to float up.

A huge crater is dug out as if hit by a meteorite.

Final dungeon Babel. All the demons and hunters died in a fierce battle and only two beings remained.

The final dimensional invader who resides atop the world-eroding dungeon Babel.

Bel Marduk the Demon Lord of the Creation Destruction Act.

He smiled triumphantly even though one of his horns was broken.

“Kkeulkeul the last hunter. It’s my victory. Avatars have quite a bit of power that only humans have here.

If we conquer this world it will soon become our power.”

On the other side of the fiery Demon King stood Joo Gong-hyeok humanity’s last hunter.

Odin Blue Dragon Zeus. In this world every awakened hunter has his or her own avatar.

Joo Gong-hyeok the strongest hunter with 12 god-level avatars.

The demons and hunters collectively revered him and called him ‘the tyrant of the Twelve Gods.’

But his appearance in front of the devil is shabby.

Durandal the dazzling sword was broken and one arm was charred black.

His entire body was covered in blood and he spat out phlegm roughly.

“Ha damn… “I’m stuck here.”

“okay. Human. you came to me I fought. And I knelt down. “This is a clear defeat for all of humanity…”

“During the 10th regression I was the only one who split your head off so this time I killed all the hunters beforehand.

Did I underestimate it too much? “It’s absurd.”

“···. what?”

“Is it a big deal that Payne missed the new window Longinus in the rock cathedral on the 65th floor? For a moment the amount of damage was lacking.

At the very least if I had eaten Avatar ‘King Asura’ on the 39th floor or ‘Uranus’ on the 14th floor it would have been covered by the combination award.”

Joo Gong-hyeok threw down Durandal took out a cigarette worth of cigarettes from his inventory and put them in his mouth.

When I touch my right arm which is still burning black the cigarette catches fire.

“For solo play I used Messiah avatars such as ‘Maitreya Tathagata’ and ‘Michael’ but in the end it led to insufficient damage.

“The dungeon avatar ‘Uno’ I trusted was also erased by your abilities.”

“How do you know Longinus and those guys? I’ve definitely passed by a related place. You probably never received any missions or quests.”

“How do I know? It’s because they are avatars who have eaten the items they picked up about 6 times last time 3 or 4 times.”

“I can’t believe it was last time. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

In response to the devil’s question Joo Gong-hyeok took a deep breath on his cigarette and then flicked it with his finger.

The cigarette butt flew in a parabolic curve towards the forehead of Demon King Bel Marduk and the moment Marduk struck it away with a frown.

A huge magic circle hidden beneath the floor emits blue light.

As Marduk was shocked dozens of pitch-black chains flew out from the floor bound the Demon King’s body and the sky opened and white lightning fell.

In the ruins of the dungeon the light of lightning continues to surge again and again.

How many times did it hit me?

After a blinding thunderbolt that would blind even a trained hunter.

When the surrounding ruins were reduced to ashes.

The ashes in the center shattered and the Demon King was seen standing up.

His one remaining horn was breaking off.

“Was the cigarette an offering to complete the magic circle?”

“The lightning of Zeus and the chains of Gleifnir. what. That cigarette is like incense on an altar. Even if you prepare for something like this you won’t be able to kill it because the final damage isn’t enough. It’s all meaningless.

“It was a waste to prepare it now so I decided to give it a try.”

For the first time Demon King Bel Marduk felt an unknown fear from the Hunter.

His abilities have decreased by more than 80% due to the battle so far and the magic circle from before.

If Joo Gong-hyeok had had a few more effective attack methods he might have died.

“Who are you?”

Again take out a cigarette from your inventory and light it.

Slowly inhale deeply filling your lungs and slowly exhale as the smoke permeates your entire body from your lungs. Smoke billowing out from the esophagus and lungs carrying the burden of exhaustion.

“The person who cut your throat about six times.”

After smoking his second cigarette Gonghyuk felt his hands and feet becoming numb and his consciousness fading away.

It’s natural since I smoked a cigarette made from poisonous weed with all my resistance turned off.

A suicide cigarette made to easily ‘reset’ just in case.

Gonghyeok muttered a word as his vision darkened from the poisonous aura.

“The 12th failed. I’m sick of it. “For the 13th time I will crush your head without making a mistake.”

Goodbye. Adversary.

Looking into the devil’s devastated face. Hunter Joo Gong-hyeok who returned 12 times committed suicide in front of the devil.

Consciousness receding into darkness. A familiar sound is heard as the consciousness flies somewhere.

Go back.

Go back.

Go back.

‘It’s noisy.’

The world is destroyed again. Humanity is destroyed again.

Bring the answer that will not perish.

‘I like answers that don’t destroy me.’

During his 13 lives Joo Gong-hyeok defeated the devil six times.

The world has definitely been saved six times.

but….

A war broke out between the new humans ‘Hunters’ and the old humans ‘Humans’.

As a result humanity was destroyed.

There was a ‘Hunter’ who tried to create heaven by fusing the minds of all humans.

As a result humanity was destroyed.

There was a ‘Hunter’ who suffered from the terrible trauma of slaughter and survival and was imprisoned in a mental hospital.

Because of her humanity was destroyed.

There was a ‘Hunter’ who exploded his avatar’s abilities to escape the assassins.

As a result humanity was destroyed.

The boy who fell from the barbell at the age of 8 was abandoned by everyone in the world he returned to.

As a result humanity was destroyed.

There was an old ‘Hunter’ who tried to protect his newborn grandson.

Because of her humanity was destroyed.

The hunters who cleared Babel and returned to their original world.

Destroyed the world six times.

‘Are you telling me to kill you again?’

All the demons and demon kings who destroy the world.

All the hunters and companions who destroy the world.

‘I’m bored. ‘I’m sick of it.’

okay. It’s the last time.

I will kill both the demon lord and the hunter.

Still this damn regression won’t end.

Let’s give it a try.

“Fall in fear. “You lower-level humans!”

earth.

The beginning of the new year 2018.

Ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup a festival for people around the world and the PyeongChang Winter Olympics a festival for Koreans.

A huge video appeared in cities around the world.

In the video horned devils that looked like something out of a cartoon were making noise calling themselves devil kings and demons and declaring the destruction of humanity.

And thousands of dungeons were created all over the world.

Countless monsters poured out of the dungeon. Kobold Gnoll Goblin Orc. Clumsy monsters with primitive weapons such as pitchforks stone axes and crossbows.

However people were afraid of these primitive monsters.

It’s very boring but it’s because guns missiles tanks fighter jets modern weapons and general physical force had no effect at all.

But what a surprise!

Awakened people who can fight against monsters have appeared.

Hunters appeared by absorbing the ‘coins’ dropped by killed monsters and using their own ‘avatars’.

avatar

This word the descending body of God was given to the beings that emerged from the Hunters.

Avatars appear in various forms from gods to heroes and are expressed in various ways depending on the hunters’ personality abilities or hidden talents.

These avatars were translucent like ghosts and appeared behind the hunters’ backs amplifying their abilities or moving on their own to annihilate monsters.

The hunters who pushed the monsters that appeared on Earth to their original lair the dungeon distorted their faces in front of the dungeon.

Tutorial Dungeon

Those words written on 2888 dungeon pillars around the world.

Although the monsters were driven out of the Earth at the cost of a whopping 1.1 billion people people realized that the tutorial had not even started yet.

2 years later in 2020. An image of an angel appeared before mankind who was gripped by despair.

“I Archangel Metatron appeal to humanity. everyone. We have suppressed those demon lords and dimension invaders as best as we can but we are now at our limit.

“The only thing I could do was to impose a few rules and restrictions…”

The angel who pursed his lips in exasperation and shook his rich blonde hair continued speaking.

“The Great Summon will begin soon. Hunters will go to the ‘Final Dungeon Babel’ sequentially. “You must climb to the end of the Tower of Babel defeat the devil and clear the dungeon.”

“If you cannot clear Babel within 20 years… much stronger monsters from Babel will be released to annihilate you and take over this dimension.”

“There is not only despair left there. Our angels will assist humanity as much as possible. Hunters you can become infinitely stronger in Babel. The blessings of the higher dimension gods are with you.”

GOD BLESS YOU.

May God’s blessings be with you.

“Use some rear curses and firepower! “It doesn’t even work!”

“I’m working hard! You guys try to block it from the front! “They’re hitting even the rear guard!”

Mmmmmmm!

The mythical beast Minotaur charges with its horns in front. The vanguard who had been pouting in front were frightened and retreated to the side. Seeing this the rearguard clucks their tongues and runs without looking back.

“Hehehe!”

Second-year hunter Joo Gong-hyeok ran in the most ungainly manner among them. He also threw away his only weapon the knife.

‘I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! ‘I want to live!’

Gonghyeok who was running hurriedly while urinating tripped over a rock and fell. Gonghyeok who rolled several times on the ground with his palm badly cut was unable to move for a while.

He was drooling and seemed to have lost his mind.

Or maybe I was possessed by something.

“Why are you being so stupid! Damage you idiot!”

Mmmmmmmmmmm!

Kwaaaaang!

At the Hunter’s sharp shout Gonghyuk seemed to come to his senses and rolled to the side.

The heavy rock club of the tutorial dungeon boss Minotaur had just been stuck next to Joo Gong-hyeok’s temple.

‘I almost died as soon as I returned.’

I was in a dazed state right after returning. If I hadn’t come to my senses just in the nick of time my head would have been smashed and I would have returned helplessly once more.

Although this is the 13th regression the timing of each regression is different. Except for the times when I returned to a situation where I felt like my urine would explode and was almost dazed this was the first time I returned to such a close moment.

Pop pop pop pop.

Friendly Hunter 1 who had just given Gonghyeok some kind advice was hit by a sharp rock club and his stomach exploded.

This is dead. Joo Gong-hyeok lightly wished Hunter 1 whose name he had forgotten even though he saw him once every 20 years a resting soul and whispered softly.

‘Avatar observer (watcher) ON.’

As I muttered to myself a translucent avatar wearing goggles and displaying several screens appeared behind Gonghyeok.

At this time the only avatar that Joo Gong-hyuk had was ‘Observer’.

A reconnaissance/surveillance type avatar whose basic ability is ‘analysis’.

The observer tapped furiously on his arm’s calculator and keyboard. Soon a map appeared in the corner of my eye showing the Minotaur’s weaknesses information and the current party status.

The situation is 8 people in the front line (now 7 people) and 4 people in the rear. A total of 12 assault troops had arrived at the end of the tutorial dungeon and were attacking the boss the ‘Ferocious Minotaur’.

It was a boss monster that received a title and regenerated with an 8% chance. Boss monsters with titles such as ‘Ferocious’ or ‘At its peak’ had high abilities and diverse attack patterns.

Since it was an assault force to raid ordinary Minotaurs they suffered casualties due to the unexpectedly ferocious presence of Minotaurs.

[Tutorial Dungeon Boss No. 598 ‘Ferocious Minotaur’]

Strength: 111[E]. Durability: 85[F]. Agility: 41[F].

Skill: 22[F]. Spirit: 10[F]. Will: 46[F]. Horsepower: 15[F].

Skill: A clumsy shout of victory (F). A clumsy blow to the ground (F). Foolish Berserk (F-)

Pros Disadvantages: ???

In Gonghyeok’s eyes he could see the Minotaur’s strength up to E 111.

The abilities are in alphabetical order including ABC and go up one level in increments of 100.

In addition as the level increases the abilities become three times stronger. For example strength 100[F] and 101[E] are only the first difference but if 100[F] can lift 150kg 101[E] can lift 450kg.

Looking at the other hunters I saw that they were made up of tall guys with average abilities in their 20s including the leader Bronze Giant Park Jun-tae.

Except for one person.

[Hunter Hayeonsi]

Age: 19

Avatar used: Princess Bari (SS)

Strength: 14[F]. Durability: 24[F]. Agility: 19[F]. Skill: 38[F].

Spirit: 130[E]. Will: 64[F]. Horsepower: 148[E].

Skills: Nullify Curse – White Laundry (E) Nullify Blessing – Black Laundry (E) Heal – Flesh Flower (Unique E).

Pros Disadvantages: ???

Hayeon-si’s mental and magical abilities had reached level E. Considering that the highest stat of the dungeon boss Minotaur is 111[E] it is no longer at the level found in the tutorial dungeon.

‘Princess Bari Hayeonsi’

He was a promising healer with the greatest talent and was currently a colleague who had been going through hardships and hardships at the same orphanage as Joo Gong-hyeok for two years.

‘Well it doesn’t have any attack spells and the physical attacks aren’t particularly strong so it won’t help you catch that cow’s head right now.’

Mmmmmmmmm!

Wow!

The Minotaur roared as it trampled on the smashed body of Hunter 1.

‘You little bastard is so noisy.’

Gonghyuk’s frowning eyes widened.

Beneath the minotaur’s bloody feet the being that Gonghyeok loved more than anything was pitifully trembling in fear.

‘Why are you there?’

Gonghyeok was shocked but there was no time for this. She is dangerous!

‘I have to save it no matter what!’

Gonghyuk gritted his teeth and ran away. He snatches up the Hunter Sword he discarded while running away and lifts it up.

“Oppa Gonghyuk! Come back! “It’s a rearguard position but how far can it go?”

From behind Ha Yeon-si the protagonist with the golden spoon ability calls out to Gong-hyeok.

‘right. Was I in the rearguard?’

Gonghyeok’s avatar is a reconnaissance/surveillance type avatar whose specialty is analysis not a combat type with only an E-class ability increase.

The sword he is holding is a cheap hunter sword purchased at a market stall and one that Hayeon-si bought for him so that he can hold on for at least 5 seconds if a monster happens to be in the rearguard.

It is natural for a novice hunter who barely joins the raid to be bewildered by the majesty of the platoon flashing before his eyes.

If only it were Joo Gong-hyuk just five minutes ago.

However the current Joo Gong-hyeok…

hmm.

I went completely crazy.

“Oh wait. Gonghyuk oppa! asleep! I’m dying! don’t go!”

He doesn’t even look back at Hayeonsi who is turning pale and screaming. Putting the cheap Hunter Sword on his back Gonghyeok rushed at the Minotaur.

As Gonghyeok overcomes the trembling vanguard he sees a Minotaur going berserk.

And his adorable child who was in danger underneath him.

With my current agility I can’t even see the Minotaur’s attack anyway. If you can’t trust your reflexes you just have to predict the Minotaur’s attack.

Plump plump one two three.

Gonghyuk caught the rhythm by flicking his sword slightly. One two three one two three.

It’s coming.

Mmmmmmmmmmm!

The Minotaur’s Strike (E) skill activates and hits Joo Gong-hyeok.

A piece of meat explodes.

COUNTER ATTACK!

hmm! Oh my!

As he swung the Hunter Sword on his shoulder and cut off the hand holding the club the Minotaur’s tiny fingers took flight.

“Fuha!”

For the first time in a while I remembered the taste of my hands as a beginner and smiled.

‘If you apply rare skills to a god-level weapon it will lose its taste.’

Regardless of the difference in abilities it was a natural result.

I have already slaughtered the beef steaks in front of me tens of thousands of times during the 13 regressions. You can see how an attack will come even with your eyes closed. The rest is done by inserting the blade into the predicted rhythm and the predicted location.

[Amazing counter explosion! To you…]

[Agility 1st prize…]

Ignoring the game-related message that only the observer was sending I turned my body around like a Marseille turn and dug into the guy’s lower body.

It seemed.

The white square figure shyly revealed in the sea of ​​blood of the hunter’s brutally shattered corpse.

A relationship between two people that lasted 200 years.

DX Plus.

-Warning: Smoking causes various diseases including lung cancer…

Cigarette smoke contains carcinogenic substances such as naphthylamine nickel benzene and vinyl chloride.

Joo Gong-hyeok quickly lifted up his lover who had heartbreaking advice written on it and shouted.

“There you lighter!”

“what?”

“Give me a lighter! “Can’t you see anything dangerous now?”

Mmmmmmm!

Minotaur throws his remaining hand at Joo Gong-hyeok between his crotches.

Puuk

Wow!

COUNTER ATTACK!

Gonghyeok straightened the dead hunter’s spear. The spear is stuck in the minotaur’s hand that struck down.

Gonghyeok shouted as he stabbed the heel of the cow’s leg with the hunter sword.

“Quickly ask for a lighter! “Don’t you understand?”

“Oh I understand.”

‘Why not in this situation?’ Trembling at the strange sight Hunter threw the plastic lighter. Crying quietly in pain the Minotaur tap danced dodging its threatening steps and Gonghyeok grabbed the lighter.

Chiik-

Quickly take a cigarette take a drag and put it back on.

Cigarette smoke completely destroys the innocent body of 20-year-old Gonghyeok.

“Whew. “Return is only when you give it back.”

Huh!

The spear-encrusted hand passes by Gonghyeok’s head.

“Oh you bastard. How did home education go? “Have you not heard that if you make a fuss while an elderly person is smoking you will be chased away?”

When I take a puff of the cigarette and extinguish it by rubbing it against the bloody heel of the small leg I see soft skin behind the hard knee of the small leg.

When I scrape the popliteal fossa and elastic ligaments with a toothless hunter sword I can see the bloody right leg through the tattered rag-like cross section.

Wow!

The scream rings out once more and the Minotaur falls to its knees unable to support itself.

One blow splits the fingers of the club and another scratches the groin and brings one to one’s knees. It is a combination that was predicted in advance. Although the timing was late because I was enjoying a vacation on the way.

The third strike is of course the small head of the Minotaur that entered the attack range.

The ferocity is gone and like a calf looking for its mother it is crying with innocent eyes and tears rolling down its face.

‘It’s opening its mouth so wide that it wants to be stabbed.’

Avoiding the arms that are swinging wildly like a child he thrusts the knife into the open mouth of the small leg with all his might.

‘The red color of the crab is also good. It’s first-class beef tongue.’

Gonghyeok cut the fluffy red tongue in two and plunged the knife deep into the throat. The Minotaur’s innocent eyes opened brightly and his whole body tensed.

CRITICAL HIT!

[A fatal blow to the boss monster! 50% of the defeat reward belongs to the owner!]

A fountain of blood spurted out from the Minotaur’s mouth.

The hunters around looked at Joo Gong-hyeok in astonishment at what had happened in just 78 seconds.

The raid ends like this! It would be nice but…

Bwak bwak.

The muscular hand of the dying beef steak grabbed Joo Gong-hyeok’s leg.

‘Fuhaaak damn it. I’m out of breath. ‘It was a bit too much.’

The last cut of the beef tongue went in shallowly. I moved my body too much because I enjoyed smoking. In the first place it was an unreasonable movement to do with agility and stamina that were less than 20 degrees. No matter how I covered it up with skill and experience it was just an inch short of instantly killing a boss monster with durability over 80.

Joo Gong-hyeok’s legs make noise and bend in strange directions.

‘Are you coming? You won’t fall behind easily either. Is this it?’

Gonghyuk looks at the small leg with bloodshot eyes in pain. The head of the cow also spews blood and glares at Gonghyuk with evil eyes.

To those around us it was a horrific scene from hell.

Gonghyeok used all his remaining strength to twist the sword stuck in his head raised one hand and dug into the Minotaur’s eye.

The Minotaur’s spasms are now almost at the level of a vibrating massage. I felt that the hand had damaged the tough nerves and hard muscles and reached the meninges surrounding the brain.

“Stop struggling and die you bastard. From now on I will send you many comrades to the afterlife. “Is it okay to be the Four Heavenly Kings with that demon lord?”

Bubbly

Following the fountain of blood foam and vomit flowed back and the eyes cooled down. Even my brain has been messed up but it’s a boss monster and there’s no way I can survive it.

[Hunter Joo Gong-hyuk dealt the final blow to the dungeon boss ‘Ferocious Minotaur’!]

[Raid achievement 1st place 82% Joo Gong-hyeok 2nd place 6% Park Jun-tae 3rd place 5% Ha Yeon-si…]

[48 purple coins are dropped!]

[Singlely inflicted more than 80% damage to the Minotaur boss!]

[Obtained the title ‘He who breaks the ox’s horn.’]

[Achievement ‘Soul Hit (1)’ achievement rate 1/3!]

[Skill coin ‘Sweet Blow’ is dropped!]

[Drop ‘Minotaur Horn’…]

[‘Minotau················.]

[Seoul 8th Raid cleared tutorial dungeon number 598.]

Everyone in the boss room comes running.

“Hey what are you! “Are you okay?”

“Look at the harpoon on my leg. “Bring it out quickly!”

“What happened? “Quickly collect the bodies over there!”

Several people worked together to remove the Minotaur and spoke to Gonghyuk but Gonghyuk was just lying there without any response.

I ran out in style thinking I wouldn’t get hit even once and put in a clean slaughter combination.

Gonghyeok who enjoyed leisurely smoking was embarrassed that he had to fight so desperately at the last minute that he was out of breath so he pretended to faint and closed his eyes.

‘Ah I got screwed at the last minute. ‘Fuck.’
