------------------

The life of the clone 'Gilgamesh', the current 'Gilgamesh', was clearly divided into before and after coming to Earth.

Before coming, he was used in World Tree Alliance experiments.

Even after being freed by Seong Jihan, he had to live in exile on the dead star.

He couldn't directly experience any human pleasures and had to live relying only on the original's memories.

He could clearly feel what the pleasures in the original Gilgamesh's memories were like.

Especially,

-Mr. Gilgamesh. We are American First, the world's top guild. We'd like the opportunity to support you.

After joining American First, who came to recruit him directly, all the world's wealth and honor followed him.

For the 'clone' with only Gilgamesh's memories,

It was enough to make him lose his senses and quickly become addicted.

Still, until now, he had done his work and played while being mindful of Seong Jihan who brought him.

But that damn training camp.

That damn practice match was the problem.

After an embarrassing loss to Ariel's team, he went out for a drink in frustration, and...

"H-how are you here?"

Seong Jihan was sitting next to him in the limousine.

"I came to change the constellation sponsorship, but they said you weren't there."

"U-um..."

"It's your freedom to play after finishing your work, but."

Seong Jihan looked Gilgamesh over lightly.

"You haven't grown at all compared to when you were on the dead star."

"I-it's not easy to grow at this level."

"At this rate, your value as a mercenary disappears."

As Seong Jihan said this while looking at Gilgamesh with cold eyes,

"...But I'm still ranked 1st among warriors!"

He reflexively answered like that and,

Gulp. Gulp.

Brought the bottle of alcohol in his hand to his mouth.

"A-anyway, you brought me from the dead star because you needed me, right! Yeah. What's wrong with taking a short break after finishing the practice match...!"

"Oh... Go on, continue."

"And even if my ranking drops... I'll only go from 1st to 2nd! Considering humanity's level, my value is still unparalleled!"

Gilgamesh emptied a bottle of strong liquor while saying this.

Originally, the life force in his body would have automatically broken down the alcohol.

But Gilgamesh, who had come to enjoy drinking, had already learned how to suppress this alcohol breakdown.

"So...! Don't intimidate me like this! If you need me, treat me properly!"

Gilgamesh shouted with a face that had quickly turned red.

'Wow... What's this?'

Seong Jihan was now amazed looking at his drunk companion.

He should be begging for forgiveness, but he was acting like this instead.

Somehow, he seemed to be acting out even more than the original.

"Hey. You have Gilgamesh's memories, right?"

"Yes, but?"

"Then don't you remember being killed by me at the end?"

"..."

At those words, Gilgamesh's red face quickly returned to normal.

The other party was the one who killed the original.

And he had made sure to confirm the kill, saying he wouldn't give any chance of revival.

But to such an opponent, what nonsense did he just spout under the influence of alcohol?

"T-that..."

"You want to be treated well?"

Swish.

Seong Jihan reached out and grabbed Gilgamesh's collar.

"Alright. I'll do it."

"Ah. No, wait..."

"Driver. Could you open the window please?"

"Ah. Yes...!"

Rattle...

As soon as the window opened, he dragged him out and flew away.

"W-where are we going!"

"You said you wanted to be treated well."

Whoosh. Whoosh!

Grabbed by Seong Jihan and flying through the sky, Gilgamesh felt something was wrong as he saw his body moving at ultra-high speed.

American First, who recruited him, had been praising him as the world's strongest warrior so much.

His liver had swollen, swollen too much.

There were others he shouldn't mess with.

Of all people, to Seong Jihan...

"W-wait. I was momentarily crazy! I'll diligently do my mercenary work from now on...!"

"Ah. It's okay. Stay crazy."

Seong Jihan lightly dismissed Gilgamesh's words and,

Thud!

Arrived at the destination with the pale-faced Gilgamesh.

Namely,

[Hm? Head. Did you already get Void?]

Namsan, where they had just been until moments ago.

* * *

"No. I couldn't get Void, but I'm going to try using this guy."

[Gilgamesh?]

"Yeah. His chains worked really well on the world tree. Let's test if it helps with collecting the world tree's remnant soul."

Gilgamesh's chains, which had shown better effects than his own Heavenly Tree Descending Spirit.

Seong Jihan decided to test if it would work on the world tree's remnant soul as well.

[But didn't you bring him to use as a mercenary? What if his abilities drop while experimenting?]

"Ah. There's no need for that anymore. He said he doesn't want to be a mercenary."

[Oh... Really? That's good then.]

Click. Click.

As Karlein brightened at Seong Jihan's words, Gilgamesh, who was placed on the ground, was startled.

"Ah. No. I momentarily lost my mind earlier. I'll do the mercenary work wholeheartedly... Please give me one more chance!"

[Hm? What did this guy do?]

"He was spitting while telling me to recognize his value."

[Wow. He was so docile when he was with me... I guess life here was too good for him.]

"Yeah. Seems we let him loose too much. You take care of him."

"Ah. No. Please, not that...!"

Gilgamesh turned pale at Seong Jihan's words, but,

[Hehehe... That's not difficult at all.]

The black skull's eyes were glowing intensely.

[Can I handle him as I please?]

"Yeah. I don't mind even if you turn him into an undead."

[But then he can't participate in the Space League, right?]

"It's fine if he doesn't. I don't need a disobedient mercenary."

[Nah. You brought him all this way, so he should at least participate in the Space League. I'll educate him well so he can pull out that chain and compete in the national team match. Hehe...]

Click. Click.

The black skull promised to make Gilgamesh do both tasks while clenching its teeth.

[I know very well what this guy finds painful...]

"S-Seong Jihan! I was wrong earlier! Give me one more chance! Yeah... I'll live in the BattleNet center and focus only on leveling up!"

[You can do that here too. Hehehe.]

"P-please...!"

At the black skull's ominous laughter, Gilgamesh fell to his knees and started pleading desperately.

He was going to act like this anyway.

What guts made him act that way in the limousine?

Seong Jihan looked down at Gilgamesh with sunken eyes.

"Then, try pulling out the chains once."

"Chains...?"

"Yeah. What your original used to do. You should be able to do it too, right?"

"Ah. Alright."

At Seong Jihan's order, Gilgamesh quickly got up from the ground and tried to summon the Heavenly Tree Descending Spirit, but,

"Ugh... No. Why...!"

"What? Don't tell me you can't even do that?"

"J-just a moment! Give me a chance. It's my first time trying..."

Unlike the original, he seemed to have trouble even pulling out the chains.

This guy, he was too useless?

[Heugh, this hopeless guy... Head. Just leave him entirely to me for a few days, will you? I'll make a proper person out of him.]

"What are you planning to do?"

[I'll start with mental education. Hehehe...]

As Karlein said this, he opened his mouth.

Whoosh...

Black smoke began to envelop Gilgamesh.

"Mmph. Mmph...!"

Gilgamesh tried to shout something but was quickly buried in the black smoke.

[And didn't you say the Space League match is in a few days? I'll change this guy to be quick and sharp, and have him participate from here.]

Seong Jihan watched the human-shaped figure struggling inside the smoke for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright. I'll leave it to you."

[Leave it to me.]

Whoosh.

Seong Jihan turned his back on the scene and returned to the BattleNet center.

There,

"Master. I heard you came looking for me earlier."

Ariel, who had come out of the BattleNet connector, was waiting for him.

"You're worlds apart from that Gilgamesh guy."

"...? Did he do something?"

"He asked for better treatment because he's ranked 1st among warriors, so I gave him some 'special treatment' on the way back."

"Hmm... Special treatment. Judging by your tone, I assume he's not in good shape."

Ariel sensed Gilgamesh's fate from Seong Jihan's voice and gave a bitter smile.

"So, does that mean he won't be able to participate in the league match?"

"Who knows? I left him with a rehabilitation specialist, so he might be able to participate."

"Rehabilitation specialist?"

"Yeah. The constellation of dead star asked to take care of him."

"Ah..."

Then it was over.

As Ariel was briefly praying for Gilgamesh's soul,

"I came today because of the constellation sponsorship."

"Constellation sponsorship?"

"Yeah. Since you're the ace now, we should change it to you."

"Oh..."

Seong Jihan began to carry out his original purpose for coming to the BattleNet center.

* * *

3 days later.

=Everyone, the second Space League match has finally arrived!

=Humanity's opponent is the 'Void Faction'! Their ranking in the league is an impressive 2nd place...!

=That's an even higher rank than the Silver Dragon Clan from the first match!

Channel 0 was broadcasting humanity's Space League match live.

=Of course, compared to the first match, humanity's strength has also greatly improved, but...

=Objectively speaking, the human side is at a disadvantage.

=Still, we hope the players won't be discouraged and will do their best!

Considering the 3:0 crushing defeat against the Silver Dragon Clan,

It was reasonable to expect a difficult match against the Void Faction, who were ranked higher.

-Is it going to be another 3:0 today?

-Isn't that obvious? Even with two mercenaries added, our strength is still lacking...

-This match should be approached as a chance to coordinate with the newly joined players...

-But wasn't one of the mercenaries, Gilgamesh, partying like crazy? lolol

-A few days ago, there were photos circulating of him being grabbed by the collar and flown away by Seong Jihan. lol

-Wasn't that photoshopped?

-They say it's real, there's even an interview with the limo driver.

The viewers, certain of humanity's defeat,

Were more interested in the recent Gilgamesh incident than the actual match.

-So he can't play in the game?

-Probably not, right...?

-It's a bit disappointing though, he was the 1st ranked warrior. lol

-No, it's better to establish discipline quickly. We're playing against 2nd place today anyway, so we can write this one off.

-But actually, many top rankers play around like that... lol

-Still, during the national team training camp, everyone usually stays put... They don't go out to play.

As most were predicting that Gilgamesh, who was dragged away by Seong Jihan, wouldn't be able to play in the game,

-Oh, the game is starting.

-The coaches are coming out .

The human team's coach Davis and the Void Faction's representative began to appear on screen.

Unlike Davis, who had a clear human form,

=The Void Faction... I was curious about what kind of race they were, but there's only a purple mist floating.

=Surely they don't fight in that form?

The Void Faction's representative had no visible substance except for the purple smoke.

'...What strange opponents we keep meeting.'

As Coach Davis thought this while looking at the formless opponent representative and took out the ban and select cards,

[Representatives of humanity.]

A polite voice flowed out from the mist.

It started being translated into English in real-time.

[By any chance, what rank is Goddess Yoon Seah?]
