The Successor to the Underworld Is a Cheat Player

chapter 1



The Heir of the Dark Land is a Cheat Player

The first game in human history!

The greatest game in human history!

Finally, with advanced technological prowess, the virtual reality game, Sanctuary, was born, a magnificent game with numerous accolades.

The primary goal of the game was to leave a significant mark on the continent of Sanctuary, searching for one’s destiny randomly assigned in life.

If that were all, it would have just been a well-made initial virtual reality game, but Sanctuary was different.

– Given three lifetimes!

In Sanctuary, three lifetimes are given.

Players pass on the marks made in each lifetime to the next, growing under their influence.

So-called….

– Rebirth System.

Given benefits through rebirths.

Sanctuary captured the attention and love of many players.

Of course, the game wasn’t without its issues.

– Damn it! Does this difficulty make any sense!

– How….

The biggest problem in Sanctuary.

– Sanctuary has been out for 10 years, and no one has cleared it, does that make sense!

Due to its extreme difficulty, no one managed to clear the game.

Even becoming a hero and defeating the Demon King. Even becoming a saint and saving the world from evil.

Even becoming the Emperor of the Empire, the game’s ending credits did not appear.

The game company said.

– The ending credits definitely exist.

There is an ending in Sanctuary.

And finally, on the 13th anniversary of Sanctuary’s opening.

– What’s this! Did you see that?

– Sanctuary!

A piece of news that concentrated hundreds of millions of gamers worldwide.

– The first Sanctuary clear has been achieved!

A massive event to the point of being breaking news.

However, following reports from game YouTubers that came after, many gamers could only feel disappointment.

– The clear of the first Sanctuary was not achieved through normal gameplay.

In other words.

– A cheat player cleared the game.

It was news that only brought cold stares and immense disappointment.

– The cheat player will pay the corresponding price.

Furthermore, the developers of Sanctuary issued a stern warning to the cheat player.

“This is too much!”

A scream echoed through the alley.

“It’s too harsh to call it retribution!”

In a rage-like scream, the residents of the alley quietly closed their windows.

There was no one here to help.

“Just…!”

Thud!

At that moment, a flying kick struck the man’s face who was shouting.

“Oof… Ouch!”

The man groaned in pain.

“Just?”

The man standing in front of him stared coldly at the man on the ground.

“You said ‘just’? Now?”

“Y-Yes…! Just!”

“Is this madness?”

The man did not stop kicking the fallen man.

“Hmm.”

As the kicking that had lasted for a few minutes finally ceased.

“Here you go, Captain.”

Another man approached and handed a handkerchief to the man who had been kicking.

Another man dragged over a piece of furniture and placed it in front of the man.

Thud.

The man sat down there.

In the dark night, under the radiant moonlight, the man’s face was revealed.

Faded white hair, sky-blue eyes.

His enigmatic and beautiful appearance seemed to captivate anyone’s gaze.

“Say it again. ‘Just’?”

“Ugh….”

Despite the man’s words, the fallen man could only groan without giving any response.

“I told you not to act out in my territory.”

“T-That….”

“Keep talking.”

With a flick of his fingers, the subordinates lifted the fallen man up.

“I-I asked for Rose!”

Rose, the top-class woman famous in the underworld.

“But what came out was not Rose, it was an old lady flower!”

“Pfft.”

The subordinates couldn’t help but chuckle, turning their heads slightly.

“You find this funny?”

However, at the voice of the man who followed, the subordinates quickly bowed their heads.

“Sorry, Captain.”

“We’ll settle this later.”

“….”

A deathly pale complexion.

“Whether it’s a halmikkot or a nabali, if you’ve been summoned, you pay up. Isn’t that right?”

“What the hell are you talking about!”

Bam!

The man who was sitting barely kicked the struggling man on the ground with his foot.

“You’re cursing at your benefactor?”

“Ugh, I’m sorry…”

“If you’ve used the service, you pay. Is that simple principle so hard to grasp? You lot, barely able to afford a few coins, trying to summon roses without money, how despicable.”

“I-I apologize…”

“This is the last warning.”

The man rose to his feet.

“If you cause trouble like this again, I’ll make sure you can’t use roses or halmikkot again.”

Snow-white hair and eyes the color of the sky.

Despite an appearance that could be trusted even if he claimed nobility, the man exuded roughness.

His fierce countenance only added to the ruggedness he projected.

The man.

He was none other than…

“Inspect him. Captain.”

“Search him thoroughly and collect the remaining money.”

“Yes, Captain.”

It was Sein, the crazy dog of Chichiron.

It was the path back after finishing the day’s work splendidly.

“Bor is crazier than I am.”

The man who mentioned Bor, the owner of the half-moon inn in Chichiron.

Sein.

“If you summon roses and present halmikkot, even I lose my mind.”

No, maybe the madness never ends.

Bor was half-dead, and the inn was going to be set ablaze.

But what could he do?

“This is my life.”

The Dark Alley.

Born and raised there.

A life where even leaving this narrow alley was not permitted.

To eat and live, one had to do whatever it took, and to survive, one’s life as a saint meant even licking the backside of a goblet.

So distant and vague.

Over the years, he had climbed up and claimed his territory.

“Should I call it a success?”

Sigh.

Sein chuckled, twisting the corner of his mouth.

Truly a bizarre life.

Who could he blame?

It was his fault for being born like this, and his fault for living this way.

Even though he regretted it, he had to accept the harsh reality, which had been around for a long time.

“It was a life that seemed like it would never get familiar.”

Sein, with a rough, wolf-like impression.

But his current appearance was somewhat melancholic, resembling a regretful sinner.

“Anyway….”

The alleyways of Chichiron.

Though quiet during the day, it was the noisy place at night.

However, it was already late at night.

“It’s too quiet here.”

Sein, who had stopped, looked around.

Since when, not even a mouse’s shadow was visible, let alone a person.

It was an odd situation to anyone, but Sein remained calm and composed.

“Ugh.”

A cry coming from somewhere.

“Who’s crying on such a fine day?”

As Sein spoke, shadows began to creep into the alley.

“It’s me…. You bastard!”

“You’re the one from earlier, right?”

The guy who had made a fuss about not getting a rose but a wild rose.

The guy who had been beaten up and robbed of everything valuable appeared in the alley, holding a blanket.

The problem was.

“Hah.”

He wasn’t alone.

“You, were you the one with the limp?”

“Kiki.”

Laughter accompanied Inyoung’s appearance, but there were several of them.

After carefully examining, the shadows were already full.

Limp, the nickname of Thomas, who was sharing this narrow Chichiron with him.

“Seems like even though Borg is a jerk, he wouldn’t do something like this.”

“You just realized that now?”

“Borg, he may have owed you, but he really backstabbed you this time.”

The shadow finally revealed its figure.

It was a blond man standing on one foot.

“Long time no see, you crazy bastard.”

“You have a good name like Sein, why resort to calling me a crazy bastard? Lame.”

“…Tsk.”

Sein found himself completely surrounded in no time.

As if there weren’t enough conflicts with Sein occupying the territory, a lame one indeed.

“Wanna start a war?”

“What war.”

Snick.

The lame one smirked ominously under the moonlight.

“It’s a hunt.”

Sein looked for an escape route but found none.

‘Seems like you’ve been preparing for a while.’

It had been over a year since seizing the territory, so it might have been natural.

Sein was about to retrieve something from his bosom.

“It’s useless. Your subordinates have already fled.”

“Yeah, yeah! They said there’s hidden money, so they’re probably off enjoying it.”

The one who was just beaten and crying a while ago now raised his voice, claiming to be on Sein’s side.

“Ha. Money, money, but it came with side effects.”

He tried to pull out a horn, but Sein retrieved something else.

Shing.

A sharply shining dagger.

Quite a high-quality item to acquire in the back alleys of this trashy territory.

“You’ve been causing too much trouble. You crazy bastard.”

There was no choice.

‘Six in the front, seven in the back… About five on each side? The preparations seem to be in order.’

Despite being cautious, the numbing effect of time seemed inevitable.

“Today, I’ll kill you here, and the back alleys of Chichiron will be under my control.”

The lame one’s right hand slowly rose.

And at that moment it came down.

“Kill him-!”

The lame one’s subordinates rushed in.

Clang! Clang!

Sparks flew.

Even though outnumbered, Sein was the boss who controlled a section of Chichiron’s back alleys.

Years of fighting experience since childhood.

“Hiyah!”

A sharp sword strike that didn’t seem like it came from someone from the back alleys.

And movements quicker than anyone else.

“That bastard fights so well!”

It felt like a trap from which there was no escaping.

“Argh!”

Sein had already taken down more than seven enemies.

“What are you doing? Come in.”

Sein, wiping his hands stained with the blood of the gang members, looked formidable.

“….”

Truly a madman in every sense of the word.

“What are you all doing! Kill! I said kill!”

Despite the thug’s command, his subordinates couldn’t bring themselves to move easily.

“Useless bunch…!”

Seething with frustration at his subordinates who couldn’t even hunt down a single madman despite countless preparations, the thug finally made a move.

No.

“I’m sorry, but I’ll have to intervene.”

More accurately, the shadow beside him.

“You understand that my sword is expensive, right?”

“Of course!”

A man wielding a sophisticated sword that didn’t quite fit the alley.

It seemed the thug had indeed made thorough preparations for hunting down the madman.

Perhaps due to long-standing rivalry in the not-so-large alley.

“Did you even hire mercenaries?”

Thug Thomas seemed fully prepared to hunt down the madman Sein.

“The kid managed to claim half the alley with his fighting skills alone, so should I have not anticipated this?”

Thomas chuckled.
