Leveling with the Gods

Level Up with God Episode 3

* * *

Lee Seong-yoon’s arcade is full of customers.

A large man stepped in there.

“Isn’t it Hercules?”

“Hercules?”

“no way. “Why does he come to this place?”

Although he covered his body with a tight robe, it did not cover all of Hercules’ size.

Hercules was sweating under his robes.

I deliberately covered my body, but I wonder if I got caught.

“That’s right, that’s right.”

“Wow Mr. “This is my first time seeing you…”

“Isn’t this your first time?”

“What happens to a high ranker with that level of ranking to the first floor?”

That’s right.

I got caught.

“Haa-.”

Hercules sighed and took off his robe. When

green-tinged hair and a muscular body were revealed, exclamations of admiration erupted from all over. Finally,

“

Welcome, Hercules!”

From the back of the store, Lee Seong-yoon came out to meet us with a bright smile on his face.

“Yoo-won and Team Leader Hargan are inside. Do you want to come in?”

“No. Thank you, but it’s okay.”

Sigh.

Hercules rolled up his sleeves and walked towards a game console.

“I came here today because I had other business to attend to.”

With a solemn look on his face, Hercules headed to a place where there was an arm wrestling machine.

“I got interested in this.”

“Is this this?”

[I am the king of the world!]

It was a simple-looking game machine with only one arm.

However, its appearance stimulated Hercules’ desire to compete.

“You know? There’s a guy on the Hargan team named Lee Seong-yoon.”

“I know. But why?”

“The dog opened a game room this time. But there’s a game machine there whose forearms are thicker than yours.”

It was Yuwon who relayed the message.

Although Hercules had no particular desire to win, he said,

“If you two arm wrestle, who will win?”

If the opponent was Son Goku, the story was different.

Even when asked that question, Son Goku responded first.

“Of course it’s me.”

“…?”

It was an absurd thing to say.

He would beat himself with ‘strength’ rather than any other sport.

“Why? Why are you looking like that?”

“It’s because it’s ridiculous.”

“If you just use your power recklessly, you will win. As you know, I am not alone.”

“Are you saying you’re going to rip out that head again and create an immolation?”

“Of course. And it’s all ‘me’ too.”

It wasn’t wrong.

Even though they were clones, they were all Son Goku.

It couldn’t really be said that borrowing the power of clones was an offense.

“Then, you two should try together.”

Yuwon encouraged the two, saying,

“You must be lucky.”

“Are you late?”

Son Goku, who was using an iron fist, had just defeated his opponent and stood up.

He said he lost to Yuwon.

It seemed like he still couldn’t give up.

“I can’t be faster than you, who’s been here all day.”

“I win over you.”

“If you’re going to bet, you picked the wrong item, monkey.”

Hercules was in an unusually tense mood.

He’s not the type to show off his strength, but this time his opponents were Son Goku and Kim Yu-won.

There was a sense of pride that wasn’t there between friends.

But,

‘Is that… going to be okay?’

Lee Seong-yoon looked at the machine placed between the two with anxious eyes.

As it was a gaming center where rankers also occasionally visited, the machine was designed to never be broken.

In the first place, the fun of the game was to challenge the player’s limits. But

if the opponent is Hercules or Jecheon Daeseong, the story is different.

‘The team leader is quite a monster… but those people…’

Bang!

Lee Seong-yoon was startled by the sound as if a bomb had been dropped.

When he turned his head , Hercules had already started playing the game.

However,

“…?”

“…?”

The thick arm shape of the game machine was completely destroyed.

The machine and the arm separated and fell over, crushing the back of the hand that touched the floor, so the game machine was no longer in use. It seemed impossible to function.

‘Is it broken? That’s it?’

Lee Seong-yoon’s eyes rolled around.

A lot of money was spent on that machine to increase its strength as it was designed to be difficult for rankers to pass over. A

considerable amount of adamantium and mithril were mixed to create the arm shape, so it was by far the most expensive game in this store. You could say that it is.

But,

“It’s softer than I thought.”

“I guess I made it roughly.”

Hercules spinning the broken game console in his hand and Son Goku receiving those words.

Both of them were enough to make Lee Seong-yoon’s stomach turn.

‘Go back? Make it roughly?’

He truly loved the game, but what could he do?

In front of them, it was obvious.

“Don’t destroy other people’s stores, just go out there and do it right.”

Wow…

Hargan and Yuwon came outside with popcorn in hand.

The two people waved their hands and laid out the board.

* * *

There were countless people outside the store.

They were all there to watch the battle between Hercules and Son Goku. .

It wasn’t a direct fight, so if it was just arm wrestling, there was no need to get involved and get hurt.

“If skill is possible, there is no foul unless it is a direct hit. Just let it pass at your discretion.”

“Okay, so let’s get started quickly.”

“I am ready.”

Son Goku and Hercules were glaring at each other with burning eyes.

The two seemed ready to start the game by stretching their arms at any moment.

But,

“Wait a minute.”

Yuwon poured cold water on the two people’s speculation,

“Ah, why!”

“Something important is missing.”

Sigh…

After saying that, Yuwon asked the players gathered around him,

“Who do you want to bet on?”

As if he had heard the rumor, hundreds of players had gathered around him.

Yoo Won took out a notebook and pen.

As expected, Kim Yu Won would not cheat, so people joined in with confidence.

“100 points for Hercules!”

“Me too! 200 points to Hercules!”

“To Son Goku….”

“Slowly, one by one. Oh, please tell the yellow head over there.”

“me?”

Hargan with an absurd expression.

After hesitating for a moment, he began to take careful note of the names and amounts people called him.

Goku and Hercules were still on the floor, growling and glaring at each other.

“Is it really necessary to do something like this?”

He asked Yuwon, who instantly turned the fight between Son Goku and Hercules into a game, as if it were absurd.

“Originally, watching a fight is only fun if there is a bet involved.”

Yuwon answered with a smile, writing down the name and amount.

Even at that time, the number of people increased one by one.

Goku couldn’t bear it anymore and asked.

“When does it start?”

“start.”

“…?”

“…?”

A half-hearted start signal.

Squash- Squash-!

Crunch-.

At the same time, Goku and Hercules’ arms gained strength.

“Ouch…”

Veins appeared on Son Goku’s face.

His forearms looked as thin as tree branches compared to Hercules’.

But.

Boom!

He had one trick he believed in.

The art of self-immolation.

Dozens of Son Goku They all appeared and grabbed Hercules’ hands,

“Pull!”

““Pull-!””

The clones all cooperated and moved in response to the main body’s shout.

But Hercules’ arm did not go over easily.

“Hey, pull carefully!”

“I’m pulling!”

“When I give the signal, pull!”

“You didn’t signal, you idiot!”

“I am you, you idiot!”

“If you think about it that way, I and you…”

Those were really stupid words just to hear.

It was not that cooperation was not possible.

However, no matter how hard the clones pulled, it was difficult to get over one of Hercules’ arms.

“Aaaah!”

“Dangeoeoeook!”

Goku’s gritted his teeth.

Little by little, Hercules’ arm began to fall.

“Oh oh-.”

“It’s okay!”

“The stomach explodes!”

Players who bet on Son Goku screamed.

Inevitably, this dividend was bound to be focused on Hercules rather than Son Goku.

Even before the ranking rose to single digits, Hercules’ symbol was ‘strength’.

Yu-won, who had already written down all the bets, looked at the match between Son Goku and Hercules.

‘The odds are Son Goku is 2 and Hercules is 8.’

Yuwon, who was not particularly interested in the match between the two, ate his food with regret.

“The dividends are a bit tight.”

Chijiji-.

Before we know it, the game is entering its final stages.

Hercules began to strengthen his arms in earnest.

“I guess that’s enough to build your self-esteem, right?”

“ok?”

“Huh?”

Goku reacted curiously to Hercules’ words.

Hercules’ otherwise thick arms began to grow thicker.

[The power of a giant is in your arms.]

Cluck cluck-.

Swollen arms.

And even the power of the thunderbolt boiling within.

Kuuuk-.

The arm that had been passing little by little moved back toward Son Goku.

Goku’s eyes widened as he felt something was wrong.

“Huh?”

I heard it helped build my self-esteem.

That wasn’t a bluff.

Last moment.

Goku found the grinning face of Hercules.

“Try again next time, monkey.”

bang-!

* * *

Swollen hands.

Son Goku, whose bones were aching, had his hands wrapped in bandages and was pouting.

It seemed like his pride was quite hurt by losing in front of people.

“Are you crying?”

Pandora approached Son Goku, who was sitting at the table, and moved her head to follow his face.

If anyone had seen it, they would have thought he was offering medicine.

Meanwhile, Hercules looked quite relieved.

“Just leave it alone. “I will forget it again soon.”

Since he’s such a simple guy, you’ll quickly forget him.

Yuwon nodded at Hercules’ words.

“that’s right. “I forgot it right away.”

“forget?”

Hercules gave a puzzled look as if asking what that meant.

The tone of voice was as if something like this had happened sometime ago.

“You guys have been together before. “And several times.”

“many times? how much?”

“More than five times, as far as I remember. “It was that guy who lost every time.”

Yuwon looked back at Son Goku, who was being comforted by Pandora.

“How come you don’t know how to give up even if you always lose?”

“You mean you knew who would win?”

“know. of course.”

Hercules’ eyes turned to Yuwon, who was moving his pen.

It looks like you invested a lot of points.

The corners of Yuwon’s mouth turned up.

“No way, you…”

“The commission was quite high. The odds of dividends were low, though. “This isn’t that bad.”

Ssuk seu-.

Yuwon answered Hercules’ questions while calculating the odds and commission.

“I am unemployed. “You know?”

“A guy with a lot of points…”

The points Yuwon accumulated while climbing the tower were not just a penny or two. If

he sells just one of the items he has right now, he will be able to obtain wealth that most rankers can’t even dream of.

Even so , I can’t believe I’m happy because I won a point in a betting game like this.

‘Are you too greedy? Or do you have inertia in making your head spin?’

He still had the personality of not missing out on places where he could benefit.

Ugh…

[Income: 40,201 points]

Yoo Won shrugged his shoulders while underlining the points he had earned this time.

“There’s a saying that more is more. Isn’t that right?”

It’s not a bad income for a pastime.

Tak-.

With a smile on his face, Yuwon closed his notebook.

Today, he’s going out to eat.
