Leveling with the Gods

[Level Up with God Episode 7]

* * *

Ranker Proud came down to the first floor.

There was only one reason why I came all the way downstairs.

It was because there was someone I had to meet.

Thump thump thump-.

“Pandora! “Pandora!”

Knocking on someone else’s door, he shouted Pandora’s name.

“Come out here and see Pandora!”

This was Pandora’s house.

Tsukuyomi A place where the three beauties of the tower live together with Aphrodite.

After much searching, he was able to find the house where Pandora lived.

however.

‘Marriage? ‘It doesn’t make sense.’

She’s getting married soon.

I climbed the tower looking only at her the whole time, how could this be?

It was a time when I was knocking on the front door with such injustice.

Kiyi-.

The door opened slowly.

“Ohh Pando… la…?

Proud tilted his head.

He was so tall that his head almost touched the bulging muscular ceiling.

I heard it was definitely Pandora’s house, but why would a guy like that come out?

But for some reason, the appearance seemed familiar.

“I’m sorry. “It’s me, not Pandora.”

Hero Hercules.

He was also known by the scary name ‘Giant Slayer’.

“You two are going out now. “What business do you have with her?”

Thump thump-.

Proud looked up at Hercules who was approaching.

It’s about two heads taller than me.

Not only was it big, but the intimidating feeling was no joke.

‘Don’t be scared. ‘I’m a decent ranker now.’

gulp-.

Proud raised his head and faced Hercules.

Then he patted his chest and spoke confidently.

“I came to challenge Kim Yu-won.”

“To Kim Yu-won?”

“okay. I started climbing the tower long before him and I have a much bigger love for Pandora. “I have the right to take the seat next to her.”

A solemn tone of determination.

However, upon hearing Proud’s words, Hercules sighed and muttered.

“This crazy bastard is still…”

Before TOP forgot about Kim Yu-won, this was not the case more than once.

Pandora, one of the top three beauties.

She is a person called Tsukuyomi or Olympus whose whereabouts are unknown. Unlike Artemis, who was surrounded by huge forces, she was someone you could meet whenever you wanted.

Moreover, the seat next to her was empty, so many men had feelings for her.

Another thing is that this guy came to see Yuwon even though he knew of her existence.

“You’re looking at me now and you’re calling me crazy-.”

Proud was agitated for a moment by Hercules’ words, then made eye contact with him and lowered his voice.

“You… did…”

“If you were offended, please excuse me. And I guess I’ll have to excuse you again.”

“What do you mean?”

“Go back. This is advice.”

Hercules looked genuinely worried about Proud,

“If that guy comes, you might die.”

I was serious. The same was true

for Varuna, who was a high ranker right now.

How badly had she had to be beaten to even remember Yuwon’s name?

But the Proud in front of me right now was a young chick who looked like she had just become a ranker, let alone a high ranker.

But.

“I’m already prepared to fight him.”

“…huh?”

Hercules couldn’t believe his ears at Proud’s confident answer.

A fight?

Did you say it was a fight?

Judging by the glowing eyes, it seemed like he hadn’t heard wrong. It

really was such an absurd situation.

‘This is the first time I’ve seen such a fool.’

Looking at his reaction, I could see roughly what kind of life he lived. He

worked hard to become a ranker, but he never encountered a large guild, and he thought being a ranker was the end of heaven. He

was ignorant because he didn’t know that there was another sky above the sky. He could be brave.

In fact, in Hercules’ eyes, it looked like Yuwon would fly away if he even lifted a finger.

“Would you like to talk?”

* * *

Hercules could not allow unknown guests into the house, so he made Proud sit on a chair in the garden. After

briefly serving tea, Hercules was silent for a moment and said,

“Don’t give up on life.”

“What do you mean?”

“Even if it’s so hard that you want to die, if you live, there will definitely be a reason to live. So…”

“Are you saying I came to die now?”

“That’s right.”

Hercules nodded.

“What would you do by coming to see a woman who already owns someone and behaving badly? Actually, I want to kick you out first…” As

Hercules continued speaking, his eyes turned backwards.

With a look of frustration on his face, he covered his face with one hand.

“You’re late.”

That’s right…

Yoo-won and Pandora returned from an outing.

Yu-won, who had experienced similar things several times, figured out the situation and approached Proud and asked,

“Again?”

“Are you Kim Yu-won?”

“however?”

“I will officially challenge you.”

Druk…

Standing up from where he was sitting, Proud looked back at Pandora next to Yuwon.

“I’ll have a duel with you for her.”

Huh?

Suddenly, my eyes widened.

And the next moment.

“Is this an object? You can hang it and sleep on it?”

Right before my eyes, I felt like Yuwon’s face was bent to the side, and then the world turned upside down.

* * *

When did he collapse?

Proud’s consciousness slowly rose to the surface in the dark of his vision.

“He’s not dead, is he?”

The voice of Hercules was heard.

Dying? Who?

“Did you hit too hard?”

“I’m glad my head didn’t explode. What kind of kid would do this to me?”

“So what are you doing to make tea for this guy?”

“I was going to tell you to sleep well… but I woke up.”

His vision slowly returned.

Proud was lying on the garden floor, bleeding.

What on earth had happened?

“Off…”

While getting up, Proud felt intense dizziness.

When I touched it, I saw that my head was bleeding.

It was a sign of being hit on the head.

‘You’re right? I?’

I didn’t even see it.

gulp-.

‘I started climbing the tower first. But is there really such a difference?’

It was less than 10 years ago that Yuwon became a ranker.

Moreover, it has been more than 200 years since he started climbing the tower.

I thought I was ahead when it came to experience.

however.

“Please make room for me. “Please talk to this guy.”

“Don’t kill me.”

“If you keep your head straight like Varuna.”

Hercules made way for Yuwon’s words.

Proud, who was left alone with Yuwon in the garden, clenched his fists.

“I will try again.”

“…?”

“I want to compete fairly. “I risk everything.”

Yuwon made a bewildered expression as he saw Proud thrusting his closed fist forward.

I was annoyed at first, but it was ridiculous when it got to this point.

“Have you checked the rankings?”

“I don’t know anything about playing with numbers like that.”

no wonder.

Only then did Yuwon understand Proud’s reckless behavior.

It’s a different species, but it happens often.

Players who are not interested in rankings.

He probably only heard of his name but didn’t think to check what his ranking was.

To be ignorant is to be brave.

“Check it out.”

“I didn’t think I would win anyway.”

Yuwon looked puzzled at Proud’s answer.

“I’m not stupid enough to not know the gap.”

Taking on a challenge without even thinking that you will win?

It didn’t seem like they were people like Varuna who attacked Pandora simply based on her appearance.

of course.

“Okay then…”

I didn’t intend to let things go well just because of that.

When Yu-won nodded, Proud widened the distance and took a stance.

Immediately after gathering magical power into his fist, he rushed towards Yu-won with fierce force .

I did.

And right after that,

suddenly-

“…?”

He immediately lost consciousness again at the sound he heard from his forehead.

* * *

Proud, who had fainted for a moment, realized the reason for his defeat when he felt a throbbing sensation in his forehead.

It was the middle of the night.

When he came to his senses, he was lying in the yard, looking up at the sky.

Ugh…

Proud bit his lip tightly and stood up.

Yuwon was looking down at Proud with a look on his face that said, ‘Are you going to keep doing this?’

“…You lost.”

Yuwon nodded at his approval.

Even so, he was thinking that if he continued here, he would have to use a little more effort.

“I heard there will be a wedding ceremony soon.”

Proud opened his mouth in a solemn tone,

“Why did you choose her?”

“why?”

“Okay. Why?”

I am not the older brother who is getting married to my younger brother, so what kind of question is this?

Still, it was the first time I had been asked this question.

Yu-won was lost in thought for a moment.

‘Why…”

“I am going to get married.”

When I first heard that from Pandora, I still wasn’t sure.

Because I was carrying too much on my shoulders, the feeling of liking someone had become dull.

marriage?

Of course I never thought about it.

however.

“There was a time when I was forgotten.”

It was a story everyone now knew.

At some point, the world forgot and then remembered the name Kim Yu-won.

“But one person remembered me.”

Pandora waited for herself.

I thought I would return someday.

The person everyone has forgotten without any promise.

“He kept saying my name. “I don’t know since when it started like that.”

“Kim Yu-won, Kim Yu-won, Kim Yu-won, Yu-won….”

Pandora kept repeating the same name with tears in her eyes so as not to forget herself.

If she thought about it, she was eating cake at that time as well.

Pick.

Just thinking about it made me laugh.

“ “It was so lovely.”

It was probably at that time.

His heart was moved by the girl who was one-sidedly pursuing him.

“I was saved by her. “What I received back then was so great that the only way I can repay it is through my heart.”

He was the only person who remembered and liked him when everyone else forgot about him.

She was beautiful, but her heart for herself was even more beautiful.

“Did you get the answer?”

This was why Yuwon liked Pandora.

“She…”

Proud’s lips trembled as he listened to Yuwon’s words.

“Why does she like you?”

Why did you come here again?

If you think about it, it’s a question you’ve probably been asked once, but why haven’t you heard it yet? I

guess it was because the guys I hung out with were stupid monkeys and guys with heads full of muscles.

‘Then why?’

It was a question I hadn’t even thought of asking because it was unfamiliar. I

was missing out on a lot of things using

the excuse of being clumsy. Since we didn’t even know why we liked each other until now, it didn’t seem right to just say it was cute.

Yuwon, who was thinking deeply, nodded. .

“Yes. I must ask. Thank you.”

“…?”

This time, Proud looked puzzled by Yuwon’s reaction.

But soon, he smiled coolly and stood up.

“I guess you’re a better guy than I expected.”

Chuck-

He turned his body and showed his white teeth.

“Please take good care of Pandora. Kim Yu-won.”

Jump, jump, jump…

Just like that, Proud turned and left Yu-won’s house.

Watching Proud walking away like that.

Hercules, who was watching Yu-won and Proud from the second floor, asked in a tired voice.

“So, what is ash?”

“I don’t know.”

Naturally, Pandora did not remember him.
