The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

-What was that earlier...?

-This time, it's definitely not magic.

-How can someone have such power in reality?

-Sung JiHan, you definitely used your power before, right?

-What kind of gift do you possess?

The player's abilities are limited in reality.

It ranges from as low as 50 percent to as high as 90 percent.

For those who know this, the power Sung JiHan displayed was shocking.

'That power to turn a business card into dust in just ten seconds...'

'In the game, you can even instantly destroy the opponent's pieces.'

'No, even if you don't destroy them. Just making a hole would be fatal.'

The representatives of the 10th-ranked guild who participated in the auction were amazed by the power Sung JiHan showed.

Bronze Tiger Sung JiHan.

Although he had achieved remarkable results in the league so far, he hesitated to make a recruitment offer due to the risk of being the brother-in-law of the Sword King.

His unique ability was attractive enough to take on such a risk.

'Sung JiHan, even if he's just a Bronze who hasn't revealed his status window...'

'His performance so far has been good, and he has special abilities. We must recruit him.'

The guild representatives who came to the auction were more interested in Sung JiHan than the auction items.

But among them, the most eager person was...

'That power... is real.'

It was Takeba, who tore the business card right in front of them.

-Kya, the 4th-ranked guild. The recruitment team leader of the Divine Guard was scolded by Bronze, right?

-The baldy got angry.

Takeba poured sweat like rain with a disheveled face.

From the back view captured by the camera, it seemed like he was angry about the business card being torn by Sung JiHan.

"Ah...!"

But that wasn't the case.

He was cheering wildly as he watched Sung JiHan turn the business card into dust.

'Not just floating the paper, but completely grinding it.'

From the display of that mysterious power, a sense of great success emanated.

'Sung JiHan... I will definitely recruit you for Japan.'

Takeba's eyes sparkled with desire.

'No matter what, I'll create a spot for him. Then, I can have you... hehe.'

If he could create a spot just once, he could easily put Sung JiHan in Japan's grasp.

Takeba believed so.

To do that, he had to win his favor first.

Hehehe.

As Takeba turned around and returned to his seat under the desk, the chat on Sung JiHan's channel started flooding in.

-Ugh, why does that guy's facial expression look like that?

-He's such a pervert...

-Get rid of that.

-He's collecting all the disgusting things...

When the camera captured Takeba with a lewd smile on his lips, everyone in the chat room united.

But the chat room of Sung JiHan's channel, which had briefly become peaceful, was...

[★☆Dake-chan☆★ has sponsored 10,000 GP.]

[Sung Sang~~ It was nice to meet you today. ^ω^; Next time, let's meet face to face 1:1. ★☆! If you unblock your private messages, I'll sponsor you more...! Your eternal fan, Dake-chan♥]

When 'Takejjang' sent a sponsorship message, it became chaotic again.

-Takejjang? No way...

-The bald guy from earlier?

-Wow, he donated ten million won.

-The first sponsorship message on this channel was sent by a Japanese person.

-Why is this old man's message like that? Gives me goosebumps...

Sung JiHan also paused for a moment after receiving the sponsorship.

Although regular viewers' chats were blocked on Sung JiHan's channel and couldn't be seen by him,

He was able to see the sponsorship messages, so he was able to see the message that Takejjang wrote while donating 10,000 GP.

[Received a sponsorship of 10,000 GP.]

[Cleared the general achievement, 'Solid Support (1).']

[Obtained 1000 achievement points as a reward.]

He gained GP and achievement points.

Looking at the results alone, it could be said that he gained a lot.

'My first sponsorship on my channel is from Takejjang, no, Takejda...'

Sung JiHan's brow slightly furrowed.

Such a first sponsorship remains in the records for a long time.

Especially for players like Sung JiHan, who aim to be the world's number one ranker.

'I should have set a lower limit.'

On that day, Sung JiHan regretted his actions for the first time.

* * *

After the auction ended.

"Mr. Sung JiHan, I am Kim JinHwan, a scout from the Turtle Guild. Can I talk to you for a moment?"

"Sung JiHan."

"I was deeply impressed by your appearance earlier."

The auction participants who originally intended to buy Yun SeJin's items all flocked to him.

People who were impressed by the performance that turned the business card into dust, and those who wanted to recruit Sung JiHan.

Among them were scouts from top 10 guilds and quite famous players.

If it were any other Bronze player in this situation, they would have been excited.

"I don't have any intention of joining a guild, it's annoying."

Sung JiHan was just annoyed.

But he couldn't flatly refuse them like he did with Takejda earlier.

"Thank you."

"As you can see, I'm still a bit confused, so joining a guild is a bit..."

Sung JiHan tried to politely refuse joining the guild.

"Huh."

And Yoon SeA, who received the camera from Park YoonSik, saw that scene and inwardly smiled.

Her uncle's expression.

Although he had a face of a well-mannered young man, she could see that he was trying to avoid it because he was annoyed.

"I have to help him, I can't help it."

She approached Sung JiHan with a gloomy expression.

"Uncle..."

With a slightly trembling voice and a slightly teary face.

When Sung JiHan saw that, he was surprised and approached her.

"SeA, why? What's wrong?"

"Uncle, I... I had a really tough day today. Can I just go home now?"

While saying that, Yoon SeA winked slightly.

Sung JiHan noticed that she was acting and smiled subtly, quickly responding to her act.

"Really? I'm sorry, but my nephew doesn't seem to be feeling well today."

"Oh, I see."

"We had a lot going on today..."

"Yes, so I'll hear what you have to say next time. I apologize."

Sung JiHan quickly said goodbye and left the event hall with Yoon SaeA.

"Uncle, did I do well? I acted a little differently because I saw that you were annoyed."

"...Yes, you did well."

He remembered Yoon SaeA's teary face.

It seemed like her acting showed restrained emotions rather than being overly dramatic.

Just before Yoon SaeA winked, he really wondered what had happened.

"Acting... I guess."

Sung JiHan patted Yoon SaeA's head.

"But still, I was worried."

"I'm such a worrywart. Even though I'm the student council president at school."

Yoon SaeA looked up at him, as if she didn't like the hand patting her head.

But she didn't tell him to stop.

"Uncle, be careful. If a girl sheds a few tears, she can easily win you over."

"Don't worry. I've mastered the art of dealing with women, Uncle."

"Hmph, you only watched Battle.net at home... Don't count that as learning."

As they walked together in the elevator, they heard footsteps.

Tap, tap.

Two women standing in front of the elevator approached them.

"You two seem really close."

"...?"

A glamorous woman and a tall female bodyguard following behind her.

Sung JiHan's eyebrows twitched.

He recognized one of them very well.

"So, you're Yoon SaeA? And Sung JiHan? I'm Lee HaYeon, the head of the personnel department at Lee Sung Guild."

"Head... Lee?"

"Am I too young to be called the head?"

"Yes..."

"Hehe, it's just a nickname."

In response to Yoon SaeA's question, she casually referred to herself as a parachute.

If she was entering Lee Sung Guild as a parachute, it meant she had some connection to the conglomerate Lee Sung.

Sung JiHan could infer that there was some connection between Lee HaYeon's last name and the Lee family of the conglomerate.

"But..."

Sung JiHan discreetly looked at Lee HaYeon's face.

A face more beautiful than most celebrities on TV.

Lee HaYeon exuded confidence in her appearance, wealth, and social status.

But what caught Sung JiHan's attention wasn't her confident beauty.

"I feel like I've seen this person somewhere before."

Lee HaYeon.

The name was unfamiliar in his memory, but it was her appearance, her self-assured attitude and voice.

Somehow, it felt familiar.

If he remembered her to this extent, she must have been someone he met during his time in the United States...

"Who is it?"

Meanwhile.

As Sung JiHan stared intently at her face, a smile formed on Lee HaYeon's lips.

She slowly parted her lips and spoke softly.

"Mr. Sung JiHan, I was truly impressed by your recent performance. Especially since I used to be a subscriber to your old channel, it was a new experience for me."

"I was your subscriber?"

"Yes, I've been a fan since you started predicting Battle.net matches. I've been amazed by your sharp judgment... I never imagined you would become such a great player."

The Battle.net match predictor, Mr. Sung.

This channel was the one that supported Sung JiHan during his most difficult times in his past life.

Sung JiHan boasted a record-breaking win rate of 62 percent in his match predictions.

People flocked to see his predictions, and Sung JiHan was able to make a comeback through this channel.

"But at this time, there are probably very few people who know about this channel."

If you don't have a fanatic interest in match predictions, you wouldn't even know this channel exists.

To subscribe to it...

Sung JiHan suddenly remembered someone.

A woman who loved gambling more than anyone else but always failed.

A woman who possessed a rare "gift" in the world.

"No way..."

Sung JiHan stared intently at Lee HaYeon.

"Oh, Uncle!"

Yoon SeA nudged him with her elbow from the side, giving him a hint.

She had just claimed to be a master of understanding women, but why couldn't he pull himself together?

"Hehe, it's okay."

Lee HaYeon leisurely smiled and gently touched her face.

That gesture, it was just like "her."

"I should test it once."

Sung JiHan slowly opened his mouth.

"When the world is full of possibilities, it's difficult to ignore them."

"...What?"

A famous quote from Dostoevsky, who was both a great writer and a gambling addict.

When Sung JiHan suddenly mentioned this, Lee HaYeon's smile froze for a moment.

"This, is it your motto, Lee HaYeon?"

"Oh my... Hoho. You're being too much for a first meeting. I'm not even a gambling addict."

Lee HaYeon tried to smile, but she couldn't hide her uneasiness.

"How did you know?"

Im GaYeong, who was standing behind her, stepped forward as if protecting Lee HaYeon.

"How did you know what she always says?"

"GaYoung, no. I didn't say that."

"Are you... a stalker?"

"Ga. Young. No... I didn't say that."

Ignoring the lady's words, Im GaYeong glared at Sung JiHan with a sharp gaze.

Seeing that, Sung JiHan could feel his guess becoming more and more accurate.

It was still too early to be certain, but if Lee HaYeon really was "her"...

Sung JiHan's eyes gleamed sharply.

"She's someone I must recruit on my side."

Manager Zero.

A woman who, despite being an immigrant, became the second guild leader of the American First Guild due to her unique gift.

The Lee HaYeon that Sung JiHan knew was none other than Zero, who possessed an outstanding ability.
