Leveling with the Gods

[Level Up with God Episode 1]

* * *

A year has passed since the fight with the administrators ended.

One day an unexpected guest came.

“Hello, Yuwon!”

Lee Seong-yoon with a bright smile.

He came to Yuwon without Hargan.

“Lee Seong-yoon?”

“Now I remember everything about Yuwon. Oh, I didn’t just remember it. “It’s okay.”

“who is this?”

Pandora stuck her head out.

Perhaps because it was not her first time seeing this face, she checked Lee Seong-yoon’s face and took a seat in the living room.

“Come in first. “Still, I’m a guest, so I’ll give you a cup of tea.”

“Excuse me?”

Following Pandora, Seongyoon Lee sat at the table in the living room.

Yuwon made tea with Pandora.

Lee Seong-yoon looked around the house curiously and accepted the teacup offered by Yu-won.

“Oh, thank you.”

“Are you just here to look?”

“In addition to saying thank you, I also have other business to attend to.”

“Thank you?”

When Yoo-won made a puzzled expression as if asking what he was thankful for, Lee Seong-yoon grinned.

“Is there anyone in this world who hasn’t received Yuwon’s grace?”

“That’s enough.”

Yuwon waved his hand.

I didn’t go through any trouble just to get a thank you from anyone.

No, to be honest, it wasn’t even a hardship.

Moreover, unlike Hargan, he did not have a very close relationship with Lee Seong-yoon.

To put it bluntly, he is a friend of a friend.

If I had to add, there were only people with the same hometown.

“If you’re going to say something embarrassing, just drink some tea and go. “If it’s delicious, I can wrap it for you separately.”

Still, I brought this up because there was no reason to send a guest away empty-handed.

However, Lee Seong-yoon smiled and said at Yoo-won’s words.

“Yuwon, you’re also Korean, right? “Same as me.”

“yes.”

Earth and Korea.

It was a world we lived in so long ago that we have now forgotten it.

In particular, Yuwon is much older than Lee Seongyoon.

But it was different for Lee Seong-yoon now.

He left Korea less than 20 years ago.

Is that why?

“Would you like to come visit our store?”

He was doing something a little unusual.

* * *

The first floor of the tower.

Boom boom boom-.

Tak ta da da da -.

Weeeeing-.

Loud game sounds.

The identity of the sound is exactly that.

[Lee Seong-yoon Arcade]

It was a sign that was incredibly simple.

“…Arcade?”

Yuwon muttered in bewilderment as he looked at the wide game hall spread out in front of him.

“Baaaaat-.”

“Wow-.”

Pandora also came with autumn leaves overhead.

My eyes widened as if they were torn apart by the sight I was seeing for the first time in my life.

Yuwon looked around at the games that filled the large space, which seemed to be well over 100 pyeong.

Pump Tekken Karaoke Machine Hammer Game and Arm Wrestling Machine Car Game etc-.

There were all kinds of games lined up.

“how is it?”

Seongyoon Lee sounded proud and triumphant.

Somehow, I felt like I knew what he was doing before coming here.

‘It was a game changer.’

The arcade was created out of nostalgia for home.

It seemed like a lot of money had been spent to recreate it to this extent.

but.

‘If you’re a ranker like this guy, your income will be considerable.’

Seongyoon Lee is a ranker from Olympus.

Even though he was hidden by himself and Hargan, he was also a genius who became a ranker so quickly that he could be counted on two hands.

The guild’s support and salary would probably be significant.

Creating a game center like this wasn’t difficult.

“I wanted to show it to Yuwon too. Well, you may not like games… but I still wanted to make this place at least like Earth.”

Hearing Seong-yoon Lee’s words, Yu-won tapped him on the shoulder.

He said he had been in the tower for so long that he had forgotten.

He was still missing his hometown.

“I’ll have a good time.”

This was even on the first floor, close to the house.

Seeing Pandora excitedly looking around with the autumn leaves, I thought she would probably come to visit often.

Just like that.

While looking at the game console.

“How are you?”

Bang-tuk-tuk-tuk!

Crack, crackle-.

Magical hand movements.

And eyes that roll quickly.

“…Why are you here again?”

Yuwon asked in bewilderment as he looked at Son Goku, who was immersed in a fighting game.

Tekken.

It was the type of game most often seen in game halls.

Ahh-!

K-O-.

“Oh yea!”

Son Goku did not answer Yuwon’s question and was happy after winning the game.

but.

Son Goku, who was in a good mood, looked up at Yuwon from his seat and answered.

“There’s nothing to do these days. Still, it’s pretty fun here.”

Tuk Tuk-.

After saying that, Son Goku tapped the Tekken game console and added.

“This is exactly.”

Tekken was a fighting game.

Manipulate the keys to fight your opponent.

Win by consuming all your stamina.

This would be the most attractive type of game for Goku, who loves fighting.

“You’re so busy here these days. “He’s our store’s VIP.”

“Do you want to do it too?”

Bang, tap, bang.

Tadadak-.

Before I knew it, Goku was starting the next game.

I was a little interested.

After thinking for a moment, Yuwon nodded and sat down across from him.

“Sounds like fun.”

Tick-.

When you place your finger on the finger-shaped symbol, 1 point is taken away and a new game begins.

* * *

[K- O-.]

[WIN-!]

A message appeared before Yuwon’s eyes.

It was a message that appeared on the game screen, not a system message.

“Ugh!”

Goku pulled out his hair.

I couldn’t even hit him once.

“You already have no hair. “Then you go bald.”

“hey! “I still have a lot of hair!”

Even as he said that, Son Goku took his hand away from his head as if he had missed it.

“Do you want to keep writing like that?”

Hit and run.

And hit again.

Yuwon’s game style was focused solely on winning, as was his personality.

That’s why Son Goku couldn’t even hit him once.

“If you tease me, you can use it too.”

After answering like that, Yuwon’s hand did not stop yet.

Goku looked at the screen again, wondering what he was doing.

He screamed as he saw Yuwon’s character dancing on top of his dead character.

“Hey Mr. “Don’t you have any manners?”

Thump, thud.

Yuwon stepped on Son Goku’s character and danced by manipulating the keys.

It was a way to add humiliation to the defeated opponent.

“Oh sorry. “I thought you weren’t dead yet.”

Although he spoke calmly, Son Goku could see it in his keen eye.

Slightly, very slightly.

The corners of Yuwon’s mouth rise.

“I didn’t know you were already dead.”

“Ugh!”

Goku screamed, paying points back into the game.

“Hey, you do it again. “He’s really dead.”

Hwareuk-.

[‘Hwaan Geumjeong’ is activated.]

Son Goku’s eyes burned red.

Hwaan Geumjeong.

A skill that represents Jecheon Daeseong and an eye that sees through everything.

With these eyes, I was able to understand how the other character was moving.

Swish swish-.

Whoa whoa!

indeed.

The movements of Son Goku’s character using Hwaan Geumjeong have changed.

Unlike before, the hand movements are more agile and responsive.

but.

Hwareuk-.

[‘Hwaan Geumjeong’ is activated.]

“Do you think you are the only one who has Hwaan Geumjeong?”

The presence of Hwaan Geumjeong was also the same for Yuwon.

“hey! “In good conscience, don’t use Yejian?”

“why? Do you want me to do it with one hand?”

“Kaaak!”

Goku screamed, spitting fire from his mouth.

His pride wouldn’t allow him to lose like this.

I lost the battle as a player, but I couldn’t lose the game.

And Lee Seong-yoon, who was watching from behind, was sweaty as he watched the two people moving the characters in the game.

‘My heart feels magnificent.’

Kuuk-.

Full game room.

The magic power flowing from the eyes of the two people burned red.

‘Is this really a fight between the strongest in the world?’

Jureuk-.

A small teardrop flowed from Seongyoon Lee’s eye.

Kim Yu-won and Jecheon Daeseong.

They were heroes who saved the world they now live in.

Now that the management bureau has disappeared, Yuwon did not want to return to the rankings, but the moment he returned, first place was guaranteed.

Son Goku was also an incredibly talented player, ranked 4th in the rankings.

They are fighting with all their might in the game room they created.

Lee Seong-yoon, who is passionate about the game, was in a situation so touching that it literally brought tears to his eyes.

But on the other hand.

Pandora, who was looking around the game room curiously, looked at the three people and muttered something pitiful.

“stupid guys.”

“Baa-.”

Maple also agreed.

* * *

“Aaaah!”

Goku pulled out his hair again.

No, I tried to rip it off.

“Oops, my head.”

I had to be careful these days because my hair seems to be gradually disappearing.

It seems that too many were drawn because of the use of alter egos.

But I couldn’t help it when I was stressed.

Last half year.

I was confident that I had devoted myself to Tekken and had become an expert.

“I need to practice more.”

That pride was shattered into pieces by Yuwon’s single word.

Son Goku entered special training.

I was more absorbed in the game than usual.

Until the day I become a Tekken master.

“A game?”

“call.”

Lee Seong-yoon’s gaming center was quite a hit.

The first floor was a place where all players could gather due to its location.

Not only rankers, but also players who have just entered the top.

And the same was true for players who came over from Earth, such as Yoo Won and Lee Seong-yoon.

“Wow, it’s crazy.”

“It’s a real game room?”

“It’s a hot spot here these days. “It was made by a ranker who went over with us named Lee Seong-yoon.”

“Oh, somehow. That’s why the name is…”

Lee Seong-yoon’s game room quickly became popular through word of mouth.

Soon, the game room was crowded with people, and Son Goku had no choice but to hide his identity at Lee Seong-yoon’s request.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Oh-gong, but if Mr. Oh-gong is around, the customers are scared. So…”

“Can you please wear this?”

What Seongyoon Lee presented was a robe that only managers would wear.

Clothes that can cover up Son Goku’s prominent white hair, which is a symbol of his character.

Even with just this, it was difficult for people to notice that Jecheon Daeseong was among the crowd.

Blame it on the enemy.

Puheook-.

Ugh haaaaa-!

Son Goku attended the game room again today.

He busily moved his hands to fight against the opposing character and win.

but.

‘It’s still not enough.’

Hwareuk-.

He was able to see clearly after using the Hwaan Geumjeong.

With his current skills, he can’t win against Yuwon.

‘Wait, Kim Yu-won.’

Papdeuk-.

I strain my teeth so they break.

Son Goku burned within himself a desire for revenge against Yuwon.

‘I will definitely win over you.’

[K- O-.]

[WIN-!]

A message appeared on the screen again.

Goku clenched his hands and shouted.

“Cheer up-!”

The person sitting across from me licked his lips with regret and left.

This was our 3rd win in a row.

“Hehe. It was good.”

The next opponent was a kid.

‘I won this time too.’

Son Goku was confident of victory.

A kid who seems to be about ten years old now.

He thought there was no way he could be defeated by a guy like that.

But after a while.

“…?”

[K- O-.]

[LOSE-.]

A message appeared before my eyes.

And his own character died without even touching one.

Son Goku, who was sitting with a confused expression, heard a voice from across the room.

“Man, that’s not how you do it.”
