Damned 13th Regression – 108
by Jessie@AFNCC
<The second one. >
Company Headquarters 4th basement level
There was an empty space here for no reason.
In a space that most employees know about but ignore as a warehouse.
There was a cuboidal silver box.
“This is the place.”
The foreign affairs director brought Joo Gong-hyuk underground.
Gonghyuk saw a silver box or rather a ‘safe’.
The name of the silver box is Absolute Safe.
It was the residence of Almog Biton the owner of the Company.
“They moved again.”
“Yes.”
Gonghyuk knows 20 places.
Like a king moving his bed in preparation for assassination.
The owner of the safe also moved the location of the safe once a week.
Clap
The sound of metal meeting together.
A round crack was drawn on the smooth iron wall.
[Check the procedure. [Opening the safe]
The door opened and a young man walked out holding a cane.
“I heard the story. “Did you say it was Joo Gong-hyeok?”
A man with well-groomed blond hair and blue eyes tapped his cane.
“This is Almog Biton who serves as the Chairman of the Company.”
[Summon items in the safe.]
[Items ‘wooden table’ ‘wooden chair’ ‘wine’ ‘glass’ ‘tablecloth’…]
Items from the safe appeared in front of him.

“Come and sit down. “I think it’s going to be a pretty intense story.”
Almog sat down and poured some wine.
A natural gesture to sit down.
But Gonghyuk shrugged his shoulders.
“How can an employee sit down before the president even sits down?”
Almog blinked.
Contrary to what Gonghyeok said Almog the chairman was already sitting.
Almog’s blue eyes turned to the empty seat at the table.
“Hmm Alfred. “Did you tell us in advance?”
A voice rang out in an empty space where no one was present.
Something transparent was taking its place.
“Not really.”
Alfred bowed and answered.
A blurry shadow appeared in the empty space.
[Absolute Vault Magic Circle Assistance Stop]
[The invisibility effect of ‘Nix’s Scarf (S++)’ is canceled.]
The invisibility magic was lifted and a hunched old man appeared in the empty spot.
“This is it. One of the strongest players in all of Babel. “The prediction that she would defeat the Demon King and become equal to Christina was not a rumor.”
A U.SSS-class belonging item given to the owner of the city.
The invisibility assisted by the ‘Absolute Safe’ was not easily noticed by even a Cheon Knight level.
“It wasn’t something I noticed with my senses. “It’s just that he doesn’t have the same dignity as the chairman.”
“Cluck. “That’s good to hear.”
Almog Biton smiled as he brought out a wine glass.
“I will stand up.”
The blonde escort who played the role of ‘Almog Biton’ stood up.
And he stood behind the real Almog Biton.
“Why don’t you sit down?”
“Then I won’t hesitate.”
At Almog’s urging Gonghyeok and Alfred sat in the spare chairs.
“You guys really did a great job.”
He said staring at the flowing wine.
“Other people said that the Company almost fell this time. “It would never have happened.”
“sure. “As long as the chairman is there nothing like that will happen.”
Eight times.
Gonghyeok nodded as many times as the company fell.
Almog turned his gaze towards Alfred.
“however. “There was a bit of a problem.”

Alfred looked at the table without saying anything.
“Alfred. “There were quite a few differences from what was reported to me.”
Almog’s hand rose quickly.
“Now that we’ve come this far. “You must have made up your mind right?”
The shoulders of Alfred’s suit tightened.
Psik
It looks like the sausage was tied with string and cut.
A chunk of flesh on Alfred’s right side fell off lightly.
“Without my knowledge. “Isn’t there too much going on?”
Almog took a sip of wine.
“I have entrusted you with a lot of authority. It can provide some flexibility.
“But it went beyond the level of flexibility to solve the problem.”
Psik
Alfred’s remaining right arm fell under the suit again.
“Alfred. You and I have been comrades in arms for 20 years. Even in the outside world there was no friend I trusted more than you.
But my recent actions have been so foolish. You’re not the only one I can get information from. There are several secret replies.
“Of course I don’t know who I’m sending it to.”
He smiled bitterly as he looked at his friend who was missing both arms.
“I recognize your contribution in this situation.
“But wasn’t it too self-indulgent to overuse an unplanned agreement and hide it from me?”
A heavy silence fell in the audience.
“There’s no answer?”
Almog closed his eyes.
“smith.”
As he muttered softly Alfred’s legs buckled.
Pujijik
Alfred’s legs fell crushed as if they had been tightened by a rope.
Almog clicked his tongue as he looked at his limbs becoming loose.
“friend. You’re showing your face too much in front of a young man. “I will praise your will.”
He drank the rest of the wine in one go.
“I’ll forgive you this much this time. “Now it’s time to talk to my young friend.”
Almog looked at Joo Gong-hyeok as he refilled the wine.
Treating Alfred like that without even listening to his excuses was a form of suppression.
A young man who will come under his wing in the future.
I was planning to reduce nonsense by giving Joo Gong-hyeok a warning with iron-blooded charisma.
“Joo Gong-hyeok. “As president I welcome talented people like you.”
Almog swirled his wine glass.
“I will hire you. But if you show any signs of strangeness something very interesting will happen.”
He looked at Alfred with a small sneer.
“Isn’t that so? friend.”
Alfred who was only looking at the table made eye contact with Almog for the first time.
Almog felt an inexplicable strangeness.
Alfred’s eyes met. It didn’t contain anything.
“Alfred?”
Almog called Alfred again.
But no response came back.
Even with his limbs falling off he showed no sign of intention.
“This is…”
Silence with no one answering.
A ray of cold sweat ran down his back.
“I’ve been waiting for now.”
Joo Gong-hyuk opened his mouth alone.
“The time has finally come.”
Before he knew it Gonghyuk was lighting a cigarette.
Almog’s face distorted.
“What a time. “What are you talking about?”
“It’s like this.”
Gonghyuk naturally heard something in his arms.
The object in his hand was a gun.
Kohzion the 2nd type combat weapon eroder.
A superconducting accelerator rail was built in giving the angled gun barrel a black sheen.
“Tsk.”
A laugh came out of the chairman’s mouth.
“Do you think there will only be four people here?”
Another shadow appeared next to the chairman.
Two men standing on either side of the chairman like gatekeepers.
“Let me introduce you. Their name is Zendaro and Smith.
“He is my bodyguard whose avatars are the sons of Zeus and twin demigods ‘Pollux the Iron Fist’ and ‘Castor the Knight.’”
The chairman lifted the wine glass to his mouth.
It was as much room as he could pack.
“He’s excellent on his own too. “If the two of us work together we’ll be able to match you.”
“Is that so?”
Gonghyuk answered calmly.
The angry chairman raised one eyebrow.
“I guess you don’t understand the situation yet. It’s not just these people. If an incident occurs the Company’s elite will immediately rush in here and if I enter the absolute safe…”
“yes. Is that so?”
A bored yawn.
Che──Ang
The wine glass in the chairman’s hand shattered.
White sparks erupted from the muzzle.
The bullet which received superconductivity acceleration pierced the glass and reached the chairman’s body.
A red swirl was drawn on his shoulder.
“Kuh?”
Almog grabbed his shoulders and knelt down.
“Oh it hurts. “Why is my shoulder…”
A hole half-carbonized by the heat of electron acceleration.
Blood spurted out from the hole indicating that it was a hole in a human body.
“Yes you bastard. “What have you done…”
“You wouldn’t know it if you saw it right in front of you.”
Looking at Almog who was stained with pain he yawned again.
“I fired a gun. “You were right.”
“So why did it happen like that?”
The chairman glared at the escort behind him with bloodshot eyes.
“Zendaro! smith! What are you doing! “Hurry and kill that guy!”
A hole in the shoulder.
I looked down at the hand that blocked it.
My trembling hands were covered in blood that I had not seen in the 10 years I lived in the absolute safe.
“Get rid of it! No wait a minute. “Okay just hold your breath and take me to the alchemy division.”
The chairman’s mind turned furiously toward gaining more profits.
“The avatar will either be eaten or a way to be transplanted to another hunter will be found and the body will be used as an alchemy experiment on a high-ranking hunter…”
Although he was angry at the slander.
This was his nature deeply engraved in his bones.
The chairman who was kneeling and muttering looked up at the guard again.
“smith! What are you wasting your time doing? Don’t subdue it quickly!”
“…….”
Smith and Zendaro.
The two people whom the chairman had thoroughly trained stood quietly.
I just stared blankly at the chairman.
“you······?”
Their empty eyes were similar to what I had seen just before.
The eyes and words of Alfred who was sitting like a piece of wood even after his limbs were cut off.
Smith and Zendaro looked down at Almog quietly.
And laughed.
Puhahahahahaha
Hahahahahahaha
Alfred who had his limbs cut off also joined in the laughter.
Ha─ ha───ha─ha──
Ha haha─ha haha─
Hahahahaha
The room was filled with dry laughter.
“Hi! “Hey!”
Almog fell backwards.
His mind went blank with unprecedented fear.
“What happened you guys! “Why did it suddenly become like that!”
“Be quiet.”
At Gonghyuk’s words the chorus of laughter stopped.
“good job. Lycos.”
“bruise.”
They got down on all fours like dogs.
And again I watched the chairman with a gaze that did not contain any meaning.
Almog wet with urine crawled back.
“Oh my God. “What is this…”
“what. “It’s not really a big deal it’s just because I was brainwashed.”
The limit for rest brainwashing is five people.
Alfred Hixton Foreign Affairs Director.
Luke Bernstein successor to the Knights Templar.
Branch leader Rottenberger Rondelstadt.
These five people including Smith and Gendaro were victims of rest brainwashing.
“I told you. “I just waited for this moment.”
Gonghyuk dusted the remaining glass with ashes.
From the first time I met the Chairman.
I was planning to get my hands on it right away.
“The downside to my brainwashing is that it’s obvious that I’m brainwashing you when you cast a skill.”
In other words it would be difficult to eliminate all witnesses by brainwashing them on the spot.
If there was even a slight delay the 10 guards protecting the Absolute Safe and the Company’s elite would attack.
“But you like secrecy. “Except for the two escorts I really trust and the foreign affairs director very few people actually meet.”
“Is that possible?”
It’s simple.
The only people who can contact the Chairman are Foreign Affairs Director Alfred and Howie.
If you make all three allies at the same time you can choose whether to grill or boil the president.
In addition he was careful not to betray the chairman along with other executives.
“That doesn’t make sense. Smith and Zendaro’s identities must have been completely hidden.”
“They are friends I knew well from long ago. We came together and decided to become sworn brothers. “I’m Yubi.”
“I am Guan Yu.”
“It’s a low-cost piece of equipment.”
The two of them who were acting like dogs laughed heartily.
Actually it doesn’t have any meaning.
‘Because Zhang Fei and Guan Yu die before Liu Bei.’
That was one thing they had in common.
“Therefore Mr. Almog King of the Company. “I have a favor to ask.”
“Say anything. “I want to live!”
“Could you please hand over your avatar?”
“what?”
Almog’s expression hardened.
What Joo Gong-hyeok is talking about is the predation of avatars.
This was only possible if the owner of the avatar acknowledged that he would hand over the avatar.
Of course ‘before I die’.
The avatar never passed over while its owner was still alive.
“Please save me.”
“Let’s not be like this between players. “You threw a hundred competitors outside the city right?”
GM’s appearance was revealed.
Under the top hat. The teeth of wild beasts lined up on the grotesquely torn leaves.
“If you just let it go now…”
Gonghyuk gently stroked his head.
“I’ll kill you beautifully.”
“Please me…”
Kwasik
The screaming didn’t last long.
[‘Skill Predation’ is carried out.]
– Avatar ‘King Midas (S-)’ was devoured.
– Special conversion skill ‘Midas’ Hand (U.SS)’ has been added.
– Remaining predator space 2/2.
[Perhaps because he is the king who makes everything out of gold. It feels a bit like this. But it was a different taste.]
“Why don’t we start recording the taste in the database now?”
[If I write that down wouldn’t it feel like I ate it every time?]
“Why not think about hearing the same exclamation every time?”
Gonghyuk absent-mindedly adjusted the instrument panel of the absolute safe.
[New user authentication completed.]
[On behalf of the deceased user ‘Almog Biton’ we are transferring the rights of ‘Absolute Safe’ to user ‘Joo Gonghyeok’.]
[‘Joo Gong-hyeok’ is registered as the new owner of Unique City Company.]
[‘U.SSS’ belongs to ‘Joo Gong-hyeok’.]
One by one the rights as the ‘King’ of the Company were transferred to Gonghyeok.
I lightly raised my hand and touched the table.
[‘Hand of Midas (U.SS)’ activated!]
[Owned items are converted into coins of the same value.]
[Material – Black Oka solid wood Pegelon type finish craftsmanship 1661 hours of production….]
[‘High-quality wooden table’ changes into 2 navy blue coins and 171 purple coins.]
A few message windows passed and the table suddenly turned into several coins.
“hmm.”
Let’s say it’s a table with a navy blue coin.
Let’s say it’s a navy blue coin that was once a table.
Gonghyuk looked up and admired the ambiguous being.
“bravo.”
The Hand of Midas from Avatar ‘King Midas’.
This ability to immediately cash out items was the driving force that enabled the Company to become the best economic city in Babel.
Cheolpuk
He sat on a throne covered in the blood of the former king.
“Before the beastmen came two cities were in our hands.”
Necropolis at your fingertips.
Company in two fingers.
And the third finger.
“Shall I get one more?”
Haaaam.
He yawned again.
Taking control of a city is something that makes you yawn just thinking about it.
Because I can see clearly how to get it.
At this point it would have been a more dangerous tightrope to make fun of Lilianne or Azazel.
‘Originally all solo games are like that. what.’
Once you overcome the initial difficulty the game quickly becomes easier.
If one had already gained considerable power it would be easy to take control of the third or fourth city.
‘Well it’s a human thing after all.’
The beast people are coming soon.
When you surpass the 40th floor a fierce battle between the demons awaits you.
The second wall and the third wall clearly existed.
“It would be better to eat at least one more city and prepare for the beastmen.”
In the yawn humanity’s next path was decided.
