I Alone Resurrect Chapter 179

Individual Combat (1)

The undead in black armor, Gattu Asas.

He swung his sword.

-Swoosh!

With that light movement, dozens of heads flew through the air, and blood sprayed everywhere like a fountain.

“Are these the last ones?”

“Yes.”

There were too many humans here compared to the Harken dimension.

At first, Gattu Asas planned to annihilate all armies in this land, but he had to change his mind.

-Just deal with their leadership.

Thus began the assassination of North Korea’s leadership.

North Korea had no choice but to fall helplessly.

Numerous armies. Powerful ability users.

None of these meant anything before Gattu Asas.

One who desires only destruction.

While his combat power alone exceeds that of an entire division.

When all of this combined, it created tremendous synergy.

Just 3 days. In less than 3 days, most of North Korea’s leadership, including the supreme leader, was dead.

“To mess up such an easy task. Are today’s Kulsa different from 300 years ago?”

It seemed inevitable that even in other worlds, those younger than himself were viewed unfavorably.

“Anyway. Now that the cleanup is done, I can rest a bit.”

Gattu Asas slowly reclined in the chair where North Korea’s leader had sat.

Being undead, he felt no physical fatigue, but he was mentally tired from engaging in lengthy combat after so long.

“It might be fun to watch those who survived from this seat.”

Though many armies and ability users remained in North Korea, Gatu paid them no mind.

They would surely self-destruct.

“The fate of a kingdom whose king is dead is predetermined.”

From now on, this country would slowly die even without his intervention.

His only task now was to quietly watch the crumbling kingdom and consider how to attack the next country.

“Okal Olun.”

“Yes.”

At Gattu’s words, the robed undead Okal bowed his head.

“How many Kulsas remain in this world currently?”

“Five.”

At the word five, Gattu Asas tapped his fingers on the chair while wiggling them.

-Tap, tap, tap, tap…

The hand that had been fidgeting as if in thought suddenly stopped.

And Gattu Asas opens his mouth.

“Tell them. By my command, Gattu Asas, begin the full-scale invasion now.”

“Come in.”

Shin Tae-gil responded to the knock at the door.

“What is it?”

Even while speaking, Shin Tae-gil’s eyes were still busy scanning documents.

“There’s something to report.”

“Speak.”

“The recent situation in North Korea seems strange.”

Shin Tae-gil’s brow furrowed at the sudden mention of North Korea.

“And?”

“The higher-ups want the Special Ability User Management Team to take action. Here’s the related cooperation document.”

Shin Tae-gil received the document his subordinate handed over.

“Cooperation document… How amusing.”

The content was predictable.

That North Korea was firing guns and missiles as if there was an internal war.

“I understand, you may go.”

“Yes.”

As the subordinate left, Shin Tae-gil let out a sigh.

“Huu… So they only come out like this when they need something?”

Gunfire in North Korea after the dungeon incident was a common occurrence.

North Korea believed they could hunt monsters with guns and artillery, and they actually put this into practice.

But this time, something seemed different from usual.

“Communication has been cut off, huh.”

Unlike what ordinary citizens thought, the leadership of South Korea and North Korea maintained periodic contact.

A relationship where they used each other whenever needed.

But now that communication seemed completely cut off.

The higher-ups wanted to entrust Shin Tae-gil with investigating this.

Because Shin Tae-gil currently commanded the strongest military force in South Korea, and it would be easiest to cut him loose if problems arose.

“Those who desperately tried to avoid giving even a penny of budget are now talking about cooperation.”

The faces of ministers who had pointed fingers and shouted at him flashed through his mind.

Shin Tae-gil smirked and tore the document to shreds.

-Thud.

The document went straight to the trash can.

“My head already hurts because of the A-grade dungeon, and now I’ve just wasted time.”

And so North Korea disappeared from Shin Tae-gil’s mind.

“Is your head hurting a lot these days?”

This was Kang Hyeon’s greeting when he met Shin Tae-gil after several days.

Shin Tae-gil let out a deep sigh.

“Yes. Of all places, why did the dungeon have to appear there?”

The dungeon appeared near the entrance of Cheonggyesan Mountain.

Fortunately, it wasn’t in the center of Seoul but in the outskirts, so there wasn’t much damage yet.

However, as the dungeon’s magic power leaks out, soon they won’t be able to use electronic devices all the way to Gangnam.

Shin Tae-gil didn’t even want to imagine how much damage would occur when that time comes.

“I guess the replacement of electronic equipment with magic devices isn’t complete yet?”

“Government institutions are mostly done with the replacements. However, private companies, especially small and medium-sized businesses that don’t have the financial strength of large corporations, still haven’t reached even 10% replacement rate. Not to mention individual business owners.”

“That is indeed a problem.”

“Sigh… What can we do? This is the trend of the times. Still, Korea is one of the countries handling the changes well. I think we might be among the top few countries in the world.”

“Indeed, when I went to China recently, I noticed that after the A-grade dungeon appeared, it became a complete ghost town.”

In contrast, considering it was in the outskirts, Seoul still had lights on near the dungeon, and cars were frequently moving around.

“Anyway, what’s the reason you wanted to see me today? Though I can probably guess without hearing it.”

“What do you think the reason is?”

In this situation, if Shin Tae-gil wanted to see him.

Then the reason was obvious.

“Obviously because of the A-grade dungeon.”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

“Let’s hear what kind of favor you’re asking this time.”

Kang Hyeon crossed his legs and made an arrogant expression.

“I’m planning to gather the guild leaders of Korea’s top 10 guilds.”

“And what are you going to do with them?”

“The primary goal is for you to explain to them how an A-grade dungeon is different, and ultimately, the goal is to tackle the normal core together. To help other guilds gain safe experience with A-grade dungeons.”

“Hmm…”

Kang Hyeon pondered Shin Tae-gil’s words.

“So you want me to gather these people who think they’re the best in the world, educate them, convince them to work together until the normal core, and become their personal tour guide in the dungeon?”

“Yes.”

Shin Tae-gil nodded quite confidently.

It seemed he had decided to be completely brazen about it now.

“Are you joking?”

“Who else could do it if not you, Kang Hyeon?”

“What about compensation?”

There should be give and take in all matters.

In Kang Hyeon’s opinion, if he and Korea’s top 10 guilds gathered together, even if it was an A-grade dungeon, conquering the normal core shouldn’t be too difficult.

But that doesn’t mean he needed to move for free.

“Is there something you want?”

“To be honest, I’m living such an abundant life these days that I don’t particularly need anything.”

Money. Equipment. Abilities.

Somehow, he had come to have everything.

It reminded him of those times in the past when he lacked everything.

‘Hmm… What should I do?’

Actually, even without compensation, he was planning to enter the A-grade dungeon to become stronger.

But he didn’t want to reject compensation in a situation where he could receive it.

‘Let me take care of the kids for once.’

Kang Hyeon smiled as something occurred to him.

“Then let’s do this.”

“Yes. Please tell me.”

“The land prices near Cheonggyesan Mountain entrance have completely crashed, right?”

It was natural since all electronic devices became unusable when the A-grade dungeon appeared nearby.

“Build us a big new guild house there. Everything with magic stone, of course, including training grounds and all amenities.”

At Kang Hyeon’s words, Shin Tae-gil frowned in consideration.

“You’re going to talk about money again, right? I’ll chip in too after seeing the construction costs. The land price is practically nothing anyway, and if we reuse the existing buildings there, it shouldn’t cost that much?”

After contemplating, Shin Tae-gil nodded.

“Yes. That much should be perfectly possible.”

“Okay. While we’re at it, we should buy more land in the area. Never know when we’ll need to expand.”

And so began the construction plans for what would come to be known as ‘Badass Town.’

In the 11th floor conference room of the Dungeon Management Organization headquarters.

This place held quite a few memories for Kang Hyeon.

“Those were really fun times.”

It was in this elevator where he first met Park Ho-yeon, the Fire Dragon Guild leader, and had a battle of nerves, and where Park Se-hyeon, the Guardian Guild leader, transformed into a monster.

“Come to think of it, I’m the only one left.”

Fire Dragon’s Park Ho-yeon lost a bet with Kang Hyeon in Benandi’s Forest and lost most of his guild members.

After that, they gradually sank.

Though he still leads the guild, it no longer holds the same top 10 guild reputation as before.

The Guardian Guild completely fell to a small-medium guild after Park Se-hyeon died as a monster.

Partly because their core members were absorbed into Kang Hyeon’s Badass Guild, but more crucially because the guild executives self-destructed fighting among themselves out of greed.

Remembering them, Kang Hyeon quietly stroked his chin.

“I started being a guild leader at twenty-eight. Out of say 100 people who started as guild leaders then, I’m the only one living like this now.”

Kang Hyeon suddenly started imitating Cheol-yong from the gambler movie.

“How did I get here? Pushing aside Park Ho-yeon, sending off Park Se-hyeon, backstabbing people like Han Se-yeon…”

“Ahem, ahem!”

Then came the sound of coughing.

“Ahhh! Shit! You scared me!”

Startled, he turned his head to see Han Se-yeon, the Dangun Guild leader, staring at him.

“What was that about backstabbing?”

“Make some noise when you arrive!”

Embarrassed, Kang Hyeon shouted.

“I don’t understand why you’re blaming me when you were too absorbed in your strange play to notice.”

Han Se-yeon ‘s words were half right and half wrong.

While Kang Hyeon was indeed absorbed in strange play, the reason he didn’t notice her arrival was because she had perfectly concealed her presence.

Her movements were so stealthy they escaped even Kang Hyeon’s A-grade magic detection.

“Why are you here so early? There’s still time until the meeting.”

At Kang Hyeon’s words, Han Se-yeon narrowed her eyes.

“Don’t change the subject, Kang Hyeon. You just called me a backstabber, didn’t you? Was that about me?”

“I hadn’t called you that word yet. But yes, I was talking about you.”

Han Se-yeon smirked at Kang Hyeon’s honest answer.

“Anyway, why are you here so early? There’s still over 30 minutes left.”

Kang Hyeon said while checking his watch.

“I have something to tell you. I came early thinking you might be here first.”

“Something to tell me?”

They weren’t particularly close, and they’d never done anything together.

From the Dangun Guild, which operated independently and kept external secrets, he couldn’t imagine what they might have to say to him.

“Kang Hyeon, do you remember the day we first met?”

“Vaguely.”

Back then, Kang Hyeon had received help from the Dangun Guild through his friend Kim Tae-soo.

“I told you then. That there’s a godlike being who knows all about this, and we have someone who can communicate with them. Do you remember?”

“Ah… Did you?”

Honestly, he didn’t remember at all.

“I regretted telling you such important information, but I guess I worried for nothing.”

Han Se-yeon smirked at Kang Hyeon’s stupid response.

“Anyway, I came early today to talk about that.”

The Administrator.

The being who planned and executed everything about dungeons, monsters, and everything else.

Though they felt very familiar through various incidents, he had actually only met them twice.

“Before we start the conversation, I have something to ask.”

“What is it?”

“Kang Hyeon, you know who the Administrator is, right? I think you definitely do, but I’m asking to confirm since there’s a record of you graduating tutorial up to level 5.”

Kang Hyeon had lied about passing tutorial level 5 when entering ability user cultivation school. While people knew him as a level 8 graduate due to his powerful abilities, his official record still showed him as only a level 5 graduate.

“Wow, you remember everything I’d forgotten. Han Se-yeon, are you a stalker?”

“Greatest competitor. As rivals, I need to research this much. So, passing level 5 was obviously a lie, right?”

“Yes, it was a lie. I passed up to level 8. Of course I know the Administrator.”

Since there was no need to hide it anymore, Kang Hyeon spoke honestly.

“I see…”

Han Se-yeon nodded lightly as this was all what she had expected.

The really important part starts now.

“But why is the Administrator looking for you?”

“What?”

Kang Hyeon’s eyes widened at the mention of the Administrator looking for him.

“It’s exactly as I said. More precisely, the Administrator called your name. I wonder what the reason could be?”
