Chapter 13
100 points for one. It was quite the hefty price tag, but considering how essence wasn’t even sold in the Shop, YuWon was their only option.
“… But what if we don’t have any money?” MyungHoon asked.
YuWon smirked at his question.
“I don’t care how you pay for it, but you have to pay up-front. You can borrow money from someone, or you can even sell your items to the Lackey.”
“Sell items?”
“That’s possible?”
People who were despairing from being short on points started whispering to each other. They had all received a set amount of points from the 1st and 2nd Tutorial, but it wasn’t feasible to hunt the monsters in the 3rd Tutorial without spending points. Most of them were low on points, and they were just now told a way they could immediately obtain points.
“I don’t care if you sell your items or your stats. As long as you can pay me in points, I’ll sell you essence.”
No one dared jump the gun on his suggestion. You could get points now by selling your items and stats, but what about after that? You would have essence but also be that much weaker. And taking the next Tutorial into consideration, losing points was equal to losing your strength.
‘If that’s the case…’ It would be better to steal it by force.
As everyone came to the same conclusion, their eyes lit up with greed. And standing in front of them, MyungHoon spoke.
“Don’t make me laugh.”
YuWon stared at MyungHoon, who was looking at his box full of essence.
“I bet you gathered that by killing and stealing it from others, yet you want us to pay for it? You think we’re suckers who’ll let you do that?”
“But what if I didn’t steal them?”
“Bullshit. No way that’s possible. I already warned you once, but it’s survival of the fittest now. Did you really think we would trade money for your goods?”
YuWon nodded his head at MyungHoon’s words. He was right. There were no laws governing the Tutorial. Once you made it inside the Tower, there were established rules, but the Tutorial was a lawless zone.
With a sinister smile, MyungHoon pointed at the people that surrounded YuWon.
“Look at all the people that’ll live if you could just be selfless. Don’t you think you’re being too greedy? Huh? Am I wrong?”
The people in the crowd nodded their heads. YuWon appeared to have at least 1,000 essence. With that much essence, he would be able to save at least half the people here. Then they wouldn’t have to resort to killing and stealing. Just one person, YuWon, had to make a sacrifice.
“That’s fucking funny.”
MyungHoon looked at the person sneering at him. It was the girl that came with YuWon, JooYeon.
“Killing and stealing? Do you really think you have any right to call others out on that?”
“Who the fuck are you?”
“You really don’t remember? You asked me to join you, and when I said no, you immediately tried to kill me.”
Following JooYeon’s accusation, SeongChan came forward. “If YuWon-ssi was someone who would do such a thing, he would have taken our essence as well. This is like the one who farted accusing someone else of stinking up the room. I’m at a loss for words.”
“Oh shit, it’s you guys,” Myung Hoon laughed.
He remembered now. He didn’t remember their names, but he remembered trying to recruit them because they were a party of five. They looked like a group of friends. Perhaps they had been cautious of large groups, so they said no to his proposal, which is why he tried to kill them. He managed to kill two of them, but three escaped in the end.
“So what? What can you three do?” MyungHoon said intimidatingly as he raised his hand.
The surrounding people started moving all at once.
Rumble—
As 50 people circled closely around YuWon, MyungHoon spoke with a smug look on his face, “No matter how good he is with a knife, what can he do by himself? You guys ran for your lives, and the best you were able to do was become his sidekicks?”
JooYeon replied, “You guys don’t know anything about him.”
“That’s funny.” MyungHoon lowered his hand and commanded, “Kill them all.”
Cling, clang—!
Dozens of people started pulling out their swords and spears and charged towards YuWon.
At that moment YuWon said, “You guys…”
Slash—
YuWon got up from his spot.
“… Crossed the line.”
Splash—!

Thud—
MyungHoon fell to the floor. Before he lost consciousness, he managed to raise his head a little, and within his blurry vision, he saw him clearly.
“What, you thought you were safe if you stood there?”
Step, step—
The footsteps got closer and closer. YuWon looked around while smiling widely.
“I’ve memorized all of your faces.”
YuWon had left the circle.
