The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

The reason for accepting murder was beyond the fact of the resurrection.

Survival.

People fought to survive.

It was a common event for modern individuals humans living in a competitive society.

“After this round, players won’t feel repulsed by murder anymore.”

Even though it was a virtual world, these players had already experienced killing people countless times during this round.

Would they feel repulsion if they had to commit real murder in the physical world?

“In the future, they’ll act without hesitation. The lawless zone will only intensify.”

They would aim their weapons at each other, killing innocent bystanders to prove their superiority.

That was the future that awaited the players.

“Of course, not everyone will cave to this.”

Players who hadn’t lost their humanity would still feel guilt and remorse for taking lives.

Ryu Min himself experienced those emotions to some extent.

“That’s why I try to end their lives as swiftly as possible, sparing them unnecessary suffering.”

But when faced with the first player who lunged at him, he showed no mercy.

“No mercy for those who strike first.”

And once he had killed a player, he never killed them again.

There was no point in targeting the same person multiple times since it wouldn’t count toward his record.

“In other words, it means I meticulously remember the nicknames of the players I’ve slain.”

Remembering the nicknames of hundreds of players?

It was a difficult task, but not an impossible one.

“As long as I recall the essential keywords of their nicknames, I can easily remember them when I see them again.”

His high intelligence stat made it all the more achievable.

“I’ve taken care of him, and him too.”

As he passed by other players, he scanned them attentively.

Ryu Min’s focus was on players he had never killed before.

However, the majority of those who fell by his hand were familiar faces.

“I don’t remember that one. They’re new.”

As soon as he spotted a player he hadn’t slain, he swiftly swung his scythe.

Without a second glance at the fallen, he moved on, searching for his next target.

“Time is running out. I need to get more kills.”

In his pursuit of claiming the top rank for the entire zone, his eyes burned with determination as he hunted down his prey.

…

Suddenly, pillars of light descended from the sky, obstructing his movement.

Time had expired.

[Hehehe! Did you all enjoy the killings?]

Trapped within their respective pillars, the players directed chilly gazes towards the angel.

Could killing the same person bring any enjoyment?

At times, they even glared at the angel who assigned them this nauseating quest, filled with resentment.

The angel was merely a guide, after all.

[Oh my, look at this filthy blood. The once pristine space has turned into complete chaos.]

“…”

[Well, despite killing each other, you’ve all worked hard. Before we reveal the final results, let’s resurrect the fallen.]

Before the angel could finish speaking, the system had already resurrected the deceased players.

‘These Angels, they speak as if they possess the power to revive them. But in truth, they don’t have such ability.’

As Ryu Min continued to look at the angel, the players were resurrected only to find themselves trapped within pillars, without exception.

Even Hwang Yongmin’s friends, who had been mercilessly killed for three hours, were finally granted a moment of peace.

“Hwang Yongmin, you bastard!”

“You son of a bitch! I’ll kill you!”

“You’re nothing but a worthless bug!”

Amidst the pillars of light, they busily spewed insults at Hwang Yongmin.

[Quiet down! From now on, anyone who makes a sound will have their heads explode.]

“…”

[Now that it’s finally quiet, shall we take a look at the results after everyone has resurrected? Ah! But before that, let’s see what the sub-quest for this round was, shall we?]

“The sub-quest?”

“There was one this time too?”

“Of course there was. Did you think there wouldn’t be? Are you idiots? Hehehe.”

“…”

With a knowing smile, the angel who had selected the humans displayed the quest window.

•

• └ Defeat the Zone Representative within the time limit.

• └ Success grants ▶ Lowest-grade Soulstone Draw Ticket.

“Defeat the Zone Representative?”

“So, this was the sub-quest?”

[Yes, you fools. By the way, only one human in the entire world has achieved the sub-quest. And it’s Black Scythe.]

“Black Scythe?”

“Come to think of it…”

“He killed Hwang Yongmin and became the Zone Representative, didn’t he?”

“Oh, right.”

Those who had previously criticized Black Scythe for killing Hwang Yongmin now seemed remorseful as if their appetites had been spoiled.

“If I had known, I would have killed Hwang Yongmin…”

“Damn it. Becoming the Zone Representative in this round turned out to be advantageous after all.”

However, Hwang Yongmin, who had perished, was completely oblivious to this news.

“I… I died? Killed by Black Scythe?”

Could it be that the reason he can’t remember anything in the beginning is because of this?

Realizing that he had died and been resurrected, Hwang Yongmin hastily examined his skill window.

“It’s gone. The temporary skill, Commanding Authority, is no longer there.”

Even though he had used up all his chances, the skill window had clearly shown that he still possessed the Commanding Authority skill.

But now, it had inexplicably vanished.

“Did the Zone Representative authority really transfer to Black Scythe? From me?”

Was it an indication that they would assist him so he wouldn’t become a target?

Is this why he took the title of Zone Representative from him?

Perplexed, Hwang Yongmin gazed at Ryu Min, who appeared indifferent and didn’t spare him a single glance.

[Now, let’s take a look at the results, shall we? But before that, I’m sure you’re curious about how the rankings were determined.]

The angel finally revealed the hidden rules.

[The rankings are based on the order of each player’s unique kills. Which means, even if the same human was killed multiple times, it only counts as 1 kill.]

“Unique kills?”

“So, it’s not just about killing as many as possible?”

[Do you really think it was that straightforward? Kehehehe, let’s see the results.]

With a graceful movement of its wings, the angel unveiled the results window.

• ★ Round 4 Results ★

• [Overall Zone]

• └ 1st Place: Black Scythe (Level 30 Reaper) – 722 kills

• └ 2nd Place: The Stupid Fools (Level 13 Shaman) – 521 kills

• └ 3rd Place: Heavenly Demon (Level 13 Dark Knight) – 433 kills

• [Zone ESKS45-5]

• └ 1st Place: Black Scythe (Level 30 Reaper) – 722 kills

• └ 2nd Place: Adorable Baby Bird (Level 11 Warrior) – 211 kills

• └ 3rd Place: An Sang-cheol (Level 11 Knight) – 209 kills

[Once again, Black Scythe claims 1st place.]

“That’s a relief.”

As Ryu Min let out a sigh of relief, feeling relatively secure in his 1st place position, the other players cast him envious glances, mixed with a hint of resentment.

“To kill over 700 people…”

“How is that even possible?”

“Weren’t we barely a thousand in number?”

“So, he single-handedly killed 70% of us?”

“This is absolutely insane.”

Just like the onlookers shaking their heads in disbelief, even the angel couldn’t help but be astonished.

[Wow! You managed to eliminate 722 people all by yourself? That’s truly impressive!]

[For reference, the lowest record for our zone this time was 30 kills, achieved by the player ranked 521st. Anyone below that is considered eliminated.]

“Ah…”

“wuh…”

Sighs escaped the lips of almost half of the players.

They were among those who couldn’t even reach the 30 kills mark.

“Oh no, this can’t be happening. I don’t want to be eliminated!”

“Does this mean we’re really going to die this time?”

“Sigh… I should have put more effort into eliminating others.”

While half of the players sighed with regret, Ryu Min focused his attention on the reward message.
