The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 54: Shim Hyung Taek (2)

Now, tell me exactly how youve been bullying me.

W-Well, that

The students hesitated, unsure of how to respond.

They feared that saying the wrong thing could push Shim Hyeong-taek over the edge and lead to their demise.

But with an axe hovering over them, they had no choice but to speak up.

W-We were sorry for teasing you and making fun we apologize

Is that all?

As the axe loomed closer, they nervously opened their mouths to explain.

S-Sorry for mocking you, calling you a gluttonous brat

Thats the first time Ive heard that. Did you talk about me behind my back?

What?

Whack!

The axe struck his foreheads without mercy.

Uh, uh, uuaaaah!

The nearby student let out a piercing scream.

It was a sight that would make an ordinary person shudder in horror.

How could you say such hurtful things behind my back, you damn brats? Ugh, its infuriating.

Ah, ah

Shim Hyeong-taek smirked at the stunned student, rendered speechless by the shock.

Why are you so surprised? In the fourth round, there were far more gruesome scenes than this.

But thats not all.

He himself had experienced having his throat slit.

Not just once, but five times.

And it was all at the hands of a single person, wielding a sinister black scythe.

If I hadnt made the right moves, I could have easily ended up dead.

Who else in the world could claim to have experienced dying and coming back to life?

When Shim Hyeong-taek glared at the remaining student with his eerie gaze, the student recoiled as if struck by lightning.

Hey, Jin-gon.

You used to mock me and make me do your homework during breaks, you damn brat.

Do you think Im killing you just to torment myself? No.

Shim Hyeong-taek swung the axe once again.

When the stakes are raised, something is bound to fall. Hahaha, isnt it amusing? Even worthless human trash like you can be of use to me.

Uaaah, spare me! Spare me, Hyeong-seop, ah, ah! No, Hyung-taek!

Ha, this brat.

Shim Hyeong-taeks gaze turned chillingly cold.

You still dont know my name, huh?

Whack!

Without hesitation, he brought down the axe, causing blood to splatter in all directions.

Oh, for f*cks sake! Its all over my face.

Using the back of his hand, Shim Hyeong-taek wiped his face and left the classroom, leaving the lifeless body behind.

Druuk-

The corridor remained silent.

With nationwide school closures, there was nobody left in the school except for the scattered corpses in the classroom, their heads gruesomely split open.

He immediately headed to the restroom, needing to wash away the stains.

Splash- Splash-!

After cleansing the blood off his hands and face, he caught his reflection in the mirror.

An overweight, unattractive middle school student wearing glasses stared back at him.

Damn it, this life is a lost cause. In the final round, Ill make a wish to be reborn as Cha Eun-Woo in the next life.

(T/N: Cha Eun-Woo: a handsome Korean actor.)

Muttering to himself, Shim Hyeong-taek rinsed off the flesh stuck to the axe blade.

Though he had lured and killed the trio who bullied him at school, satisfaction eluded him.

Why? Because the rewards were meager.

[Acquired 1 stack with the Rune of Absorption.]

[Acquired 1 stack with the Rune of Absorption.]

[Acquired 1 stack with the Rune of Absorption.]

[Current stack: 22/100]

Even after committing murder, he only gained 1 stack per person.

Is it because theyre ordinary people? F*ck theyre not even worth it.

Once the stack reaches 100, it randomly increases a stat by 1 and resets the count.

Clearly, the Rune of Absorption was a deceitful charm.

Even goblins provide 2 stacks from killing each one. Damn, these bastards are worse than goblins.

The rounds that yielded the most benefits were the third round, overflowing with monsters, and the fourth round, where he mercilessly slaughtered fellow players.

Especially the fourth round was a jackpot. Killing a single player boosted the stack close to 10.

He recalled being astounded by its efficiency, surpassing even the act of hunting monsters.

Thinking about it now, Im fortunate my birthday came early. If it hadnt, I might not have been able to dispatch them so effortlessly.

The three individuals he had just killed were all ordinary civilians.

Despite being classmates, they were divided into players and non-players based on whether they were 15 years old or not.

For the first time, I took someones life in the real world.

Perhaps his prior experience in hell had prepared him for this?

Shim Hyeong-taek remained unperturbed after committing murder in the real world.

A peculiar sense of emotional detachment had taken hold of him.

Heh heh. Well, thats fine. Theres no one left to stop me now.

No longer the target of fat-shaming, Shim Hyeong-taek had undergone a transformation.

He had been reborn as a player, an exceptional being.

Now, who shall I eliminate next?

What else is there to do until the next round?

To accumulate more stacks, it would be advantageous to eliminate at least one more ordinary person.

I would love to target players who provide higher stacks Ah!

Shim Hyeong-taeks memory jogged, recalling an article he had recently read.

They mentioned a player alliance caf, didnt they?

With a swift internet search, he easily located it.

What if I join and establish contact with players to eliminate them? Heh heh!

By engaging with players, he could accumulate stacks far surpassing what he could achieve with ordinary individuals.

Grinning with satisfaction, Shim Hyeong-taek tapped his phone, immediately commencing the registration process.
