The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 171: In Front Of The House (1)

“Hyung! Over here!”

Ryu Min’s younger brother waved with a delighted expression as soon as he saw him.

“You’re here? Ryu Min-ssi?”

Yamti slyly winked behind his brother’s back, Ryu Min clicked his tongue inwardly and turned his head.

“Are you okay, Won-ah? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“I got slapped on the cheek, but I’m fine.”

“It doesn’t look like just a little. Come here.”

As Ryu Min placed his hand on his reddened cheek, a warm light began to flow.

“Huh? It doesn’t hurt anymore. What did you do?”

“It’s a simple healing skill.”

“Wow, we don’t need to go to the hospital. It’s really effective.”

“Let’s go home now.”

“Hyung.”

Ryu Min, who was about to move, turned his head at his brother’s call.

“What is it?”

“Why aren’t you scolding me? You could be saying, ‘See, I told you so,’ ‘If you had stayed home, this wouldn’t have happened,’ or ‘Do you understand how dangerous being out now?’ Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“What’s the point of saying what you already know?”

“What?”

“You’ve realized it too, haven’t you? The reason why it’s dangerous outside. The fear of players.”

Ryu Won quietly nodded.

This experience had clearly shown him.

It’s still a dangerous world to wander around in.

“Knowing that there’s no point in me nagging. It would just be useless scolding.”

“……”

“I’m just relieved that you’re safe. If something had happened to you…”

Ryu Min turned his head as if he didn’t want to imagine it.

Swallowing the words left unsaid.

“Let’s go home.”

“Okay.”

Following behind, Ryu Min glanced at Yamti.

He nodded as if to tell her to go first.

“Hyung, why isn’t Yamti-nim coming with us?”

“Her house is in the opposite direction. She’ll go on her own.”

“That’s right, Ryu Won-ssi. You go ahead.”

Yamti waved, but Ryu Won kept feeling concerned about her.

“Hyung, can’t we invite Yamti-nim to our house?”

“Why?”

“Well, like you, she also saved my life. It wouldn’t be right to part ways without offering something in return.”

Indeed, it was Yamti who actually saved Ryu Won.

It made sense that he wanted to show gratitude to his lifesaver.

“But even if we invite her over, we don’t have much to offer.”

“I know how to cook. I’ve had a lot of time recently, so I’ve been practicing by watching YouTube videos. We have all the ingredients at home.”

“You want to cook dinner for her?”

“Yes. Yamti-nim, how about having dinner at our place? I’m not a perfect cooker, but I can manage.”

“Oh… really?”

Though touched, Yamti looked at Ryu Min, seeking his approval.

She wanted to go, but she needed the master’s permission.

Ryu Min sighed quietly and spoke dryly.

“Fine. Yamtti, my brother wants it, so stay for dinner.”

Upon getting the green light, Yamti’s face lit up.

“Great!”

Beep, beep, beep—

Seo Arin let out a sigh as she slumped onto the sofa after returning home.

Her mind was in turmoil.

A face she had tried hard to forget had surfaced.

‘Hwang Yong-min. I never expected to see that bastard there…’

The last time she saw him was in the fourth round of death.

She hadn’t seen or heard about him since then.

She wanted to forget.

She was afraid to remember.

But she never imagined they’d meet by chance in reality.

‘His face was the same as in the other world, just less muscular.’

A brief but undeniable ill-fated relationship.

It seemed he had also recognized her.

‘After all, I look the same in both the other world and reality…’

Recently, she had been in a public service announcement for the CPF unit and had become somewhat of a celebrity, so it wasn’t surprising he recognized her.

‘Why did he come to the Grim Reaper Cult? Didn’t the Black Scythe deal with him harshly?’

More than harshly.

Hwang Yong-min had his arms cut off and was continuously tormented afterward.

Seo Arin didn’t know the exact details of his torment.

‘That scumbag wouldn’t have come to the Grim Reaper Cult for any good reason. He must be here for revenge against the Black Scythe.’

He must have been lurking around looking for the Black Scythe and got into a fight with a man he held a grudge against, then fled under the watchful eyes of bystanders.

Given the circumstances, that seemed likely.

‘I can’t let anything happen to the Black Scythe. I have to eliminate him.’

Though it was surprising he survived until the tenth round, the important thing was that he could become an obstacle in the future.

‘I have to kill him.’

The Black Scythe spared him, but considering he might be a future hindrance, it was better to kill him.

She was confident.

‘I’m a completely different person now compared to back then.’

After being betrayed by her trusted fellow actors and receiving advice from the Black Scythe to trust no one, Seo Arin was reborn.

She wouldn’t just sit back and take it anymore.

She would strike first before being struck.

As she lay on the sofa looking at the ceiling, lost in such thoughts, a face suddenly appeared.

It was An Sang-cheol.

“Oh, you startled me!”

“Did I scare you?”

“Of course! Wouldn’t you be?”

Seo Arin, annoyed, sat up.

She thought no one was home because it was quiet, but it seemed An Sang-cheol had let himself in.

“Didn’t you know I was here? You could tell by the shoes.”

“I didn’t have time to check that.”

“Why? What happened?”

Seo Arin hesitated to answer An Sang-cheol’s question.

‘Can I trust the bodyguard?’

Ever since receiving the Black Scythe’s advice, she had been wary.

‘President Ma could discard me at any time. The bodyguard is his right-hand man, so it goes without saying.’

Ma Kyung-rok and An Sang-cheol were a set.

Both were untrustworthy.

“Why are you hesitating? What’s going on?”

“……”

Not wanting to share information, Seo Arin eventually opened her mouth.

After all, they had been through life-and-death situations together.

“Do you remember Hwang Yong-min?”
