Returner of the Colosseum

Chapter 77

＜ Episode 77. Two people who look alike (1) ＞

After leaving the arena, the party was ready as usual.

“You worked hard, Ahn Woo-jin!”

“yes.”

It wasn’t as grand as before.

This is because the number of players participating in Team Fighting Game has increased recently, and parties are being held almost every week.

In addition, thanks to the lifting of the ban on drinking, the party is no longer desperately needed.

Now, rather than a party, it has been established as a place to socialize to relieve stress every week.

‘Not bad.’

Everyone is sitting with like-minded people and having a drink.

The atmosphere is well formed, and the results of the players who have recently played are not bad.

Now I really felt like I just had to do what I had to do.

“Ahn Woo-jin.”

“Ah yes.”

At that time, Aserian, who was sitting across from me, offered me a drink.

“How do you feel about making your debut in a higher league?”

“hmm. It wasn’t easy because the top players were somewhat complete in terms of basic skills and defense.”

“That is the biggest difference between the lower and upper leagues. Still, I wasn’t too worried.”

it’s funny

Even when it came out, it was obviously contemplative.

As I gazed at her with a smile, Aserian smiled.

“I have never seen a player with as solid basics and defense as Ahn Woo-jin. When everyone reaches a certain level of skill, they polish skills that are more difficult, but Ahn Woo-jin-nim is training basic skills every day.”

hmm.

You knew.

At Aserian’s words, I nodded.

A strong foundation is required to build a tall building.

So I was still doing basic stabbing, cutting, and blocking training for one to two hours a day.

“Is there any kind of training that should be added in the future?”

After thinking about Aserian’s question for a while, I shook my head.

Because this was a system I made after going through all kinds of trial and error in the first playthrough.

“I think doing it like now will be enough.”

Because I was steadily doing basic training, the four quarters of the second jockeys were following me.

It was the same for the riders below him.

So, if it stays as it is now, it will be enough.

Tring!

[Higher League-High Blood Knight 112 matches are all over.]

[More than half of the audience selected you as ‘Performance of the High Blood’!]

[I received 35,000 P as a ‘Performance of the High Blood’ bonus. (Team ‘Fight’ fee deducted 15,000 P)]

‘To the public?’

I looked at the status window for a moment and raised my eyes.

It was the first time selected in the upper league throughout the first and second rounds.

The bonus is a whopping 50,000 points.

It was definitely a bonus on a different level from the lower leagues.

“oh! Ahn Woo-jin! Congratulations!”

Upon seeing that I had been selected as the PUOBL, Aserian congratulated me.

Unknowingly, I clenched my fists tightly.

First in the top league.

It wasn’t easy.

It seemed that satisfactory results were obtained.

―Exhibiting the best performance in the debut match of a higher league!

―Performance of the High Blood from the first match!

―Is this really a name? He’s a real name!

└ It was like seeing a real orchestra. It flowed quietly at first, then gradually rose, and then boomed!!!!!!!

└ I think I know why he is famous. He seems to be full of the temperament to be a star player. It is the name that solves the problem when it is needed.

└ I was wondering what he was doing because he was ren-ren, but at some point, I started ren-ren too hahahaha

└ For the sake of chemistry with players from other teams, at the beginning, only the necessary roles are hardened, and as soon as you are more or less confident, immediately grab the steering wheel and quickly guide the team members to the boss room. In the boss room, he really showed off his skills, and even licked the rich. This guy has a 100% chance of a long run

└ The gods who were sarcastic were forcibly killed hahahahaha)

As the number of players in the organization increased, the number of games participating also increased rapidly.

And there are a lot of guys who are active.

First and foremost, Jo Chang-beom.

It had been almost a year since I entered the Colosseum, and I have already participated in 7 matches and won 5 victories.

In addition, even Poble and Poble were selected once each.

Tring!

[The physical strength stat increases by 1.]

‘Joo Chang-beom is much stronger than I thought.’

What surprised me the most was that Joo Chang-beom, who naturally thought he would be pushed back by Mo Yong-ak or Go Geon-ha, pushed them on the contrary.

He has an 81% win rate in the match against them.

In short, among Team Fighting Spirit’s melee physics, the second strongest was Joo Chang-beom.

‘He might even be able to rise to a higher league.’

Thanks to learning from me properly, the foundation is solid and the defense is good.

In addition, thanks to the curse set and training curriculum, his stats are still rising rapidly.

There are still a lot of things we lack, but if we continue to do things like we do now, there is plenty of potential for higher leagues.

Tring!

[The Agility stat increases by 1.]

‘The other guys are doing well too.’

The performance of Jace, Luciano, Zig, Goh Kun-ha, and Mo Yong-ak was not bad either.

If Joo Chang-beom was playing in the main event, the remaining three members of the four room were doing well in the co-main event.

The same goes for Goh Kun-ha and Mo Yong-ak, who came in as junior names.

After he melted well into the farm, he was bringing victory every time he went to the game.

And finally······.

Tring!

[The Strength stat increases by 1.]

‘Coming up to the main event in just two matches.’

Super special name, Kairosia.

She went on to win two matches, taking both a pooble and a pooble.

In a word, both games were torn.

‘If I do this, I’ll be able to rise to a higher league within a few games.’

It’s still lacking in melee combat, but that, too, will take care of over time.

―These days, players from Team Fighting Spirit are doing great. From Blood Knight 221 to 227, I am winning every match.

―It is to the point where I doubt whether that team is really a new team that has only been around for a year. Every player that comes out has great skills.

―That doesn’t sound like you’re lucky enough to draw. Even when our players first came out, I saw a lot of clumsiness, but since then, they have shown remarkable growth. This is a testament to the team’s training curriculum.

―But it’s still shrouded in a veil. Oddly enough, transfers are rare in Team Fighting Spirit. So it’s not even known how the farm works.

└ I guess fighting spirit is really good at raising children. I saw three players from Fighting Spirit who made their debut in the lower leagues yesterday, and they fought really well.

└ So these days, the angels keep asking Team Fighting Spirit. If you roll there for a few years, you will be recognized as a career.

└ Isn’t that where Ren is?

└ㅇㅇㅇㅇ But he always fought well… Me? I don’t know in the beginning ha Anyway, in the second half, I originally fought well.

└ Ha.. f*ck.. All the kids on my team are idiots.. Is this all my fault..?

└ hahahaha 👅

The activities of the 3rd and 4th riders also stood out.

Of course, not everyone survived and returned.

3 players died in the 3rd Horse and 7 players in the 4th Horseman.

The 4 riders who belonged to the dead 3 rider player’s group were sent one by one to another group.

and.

More than 200 5 horsemen players were new to the farm.

[270 P has been settled for playing coach ‘Ren’.]

[180 P has been settled for playing coach ‘Ren’.]

[225 P paid to playing coach ‘Ren’…]

‘Not bad.’

In the first month, not even 1,000 points came in, but as time passed, the salary coming in as a playing coach was increasing exponentially.

Already 2,684 points this month alone.

It was a three-fold increase from the first month.

‘If this continues, tens of thousands of points will come in a month or so after a year or two.’

Tring!

[The Strength stat increases by 1.]

“after.”

I was lying on the bed doing bench presses, and I put the barbell down.

Pam’s situation has stabilized to the point where I no longer have to worry about it.

The points that I keep coming in will be a great weapon for me.

‘What’s left now.’

[Name: Ahn Woo-jin (Nickname: Ren)] [Affiliation: Team Fighting Spirit]

[League: Higher League]

[Strength: 67] [Agility: 70] [Stamina: 70]

[Spirit: 99] [Intelligence: 16] [Magic Power: 83]

It was only to raise my stats after entering the demonic section.

The moment his stats exceeded 70, it was almost impossible to raise them through training.

Even if I said to die for a month, would I be able to raise it by 1 point?

That’s why there was a big difference even with 1 stat point after the demon section.

‘It’s not long.’

Still, if you wear the curse set and train, the level rises slightly.

Are you using points to raise your stats to 92?

Or do you somehow raise it to 80 and then raise it to 100?

The answer was fixed.

* * *

Inside a small room of 5 pyeong.

The fluorescent lamps that had reached the end of their lifespan flickered.

permeated deep into the wall.

The smell of moldy mold stung his nostrils.

“Woojin. Are not you hungry?”

A warm voice calling me.

Similar, but slightly different faces.

Frayed clothes on a skinny body.

taller than me.

‘brother······.’

My brother asked me in a friendly voice.

“There is only one seasoned seaweed left. Hyung can just eat raw rice, so Woojin eats you.”

The moment you hear your brother’s voice.

Tears poured out.

The older brother who always gave me concessions.

On her own graduation day, she goes to other schools and sells flowers.

who gave me pocket money

‘Stupid person.’

“huh? Woojin, why are you crying? Do you want to eat something other than rice? Will hyung go out and buy some ramen?”

I hurriedly rubbed my blurry eyes.

Because of these tears.

Because I couldn’t see my brother’s face properly.

i just

He just shook his head.

“no. If you want to eat ramen, just tell me. My brother will go out and buy it right away.”

you stupid.

You’re not going to buy ramen right now.

You’re going to beg for a beggar from your classmate who lives right next to you.

for my brother

‘why······.’

why.

a person like this

Did I have to take you so desperately?

Such an angelic person…

‘Oh, no!’

My older brother’s face looking at me in a curious way.

It got increasingly blurry.

please.

please don’t break

please.

I beg you please…

‘There are so many things I want to say…’

I let go of my throat and cried and cried.

It’s just an empty sound.

“under.”

Waking up, I looked down at my palms.

ride my cheek

Tears dripped down onto my palms.

There was something I wanted to say even in my dreams.

Wasn’t even that allowed…

I sighed and left the inn.

Tring!

[You purchased ＜Consumables: Bacardi 151＞ for 1,000 G.]

The bright moonlight was shining softly on the palm.

I went up to the roof of the meditation room where I drank alone the other day, and I took out the liquor I had just bought while bathing in the blazing moonlight.

It seemed that if I did not drink strong alcohol, this feeling of longing that had been stabbed in my heart would not fade away.

‘Keuk.’

As I drank, I felt my throat burn.

Nonetheless, I continued to drink.

‘Transcendence League.’

I wasn’t afraid of dying at all.

No, as long as it brings my family back to life, my body will be like this.

It could have been burned.

if the king

If you wanted my heart as a deal.

I would have cut open my chest with a smile and put it on the altar.

‘miss you······.’
