The World Turned into a Game After I Woke up

Section 35…

Two men were walking down a road in Center B, shoulder to shoulder and chattering like old friends.

“That really happened?”

“Yeah, man. The Blood Prince and the Predator Duke completely lost all of their authority. They couldn’t recover at all.”

“Wow. That’s pretty awesome.”

“I know, right? Some people thought that maybe he overdid it, but honestly, that got him recognized. He made sure his enemies didn’t have a chance at revenge. The most recent organization he did that to was Mexico’s NCR Guild.”

“Then has Lee Jiwon destroyed all of his enemies so far?”

“No, not all.”

“Really? Who managed to survive?”

“Hmm… they weren’t outright enemies but the two people that really don’t like Lee Jiwon are Wai Chung of the Cheng Long Guild and Okamoto of the Nayuta Guild. Then again, the guilds of South Korea, China, and Japan never really did like each other. The whole world knew that.”

“Huh… are they strong?”

“China’s Cheng Long Guild used to be one of the world’s strongest guilds. They’re not what they used to be, but I’d say they’re still strong. And from what I remember, the Nayuta Guild was pretty average.”

“Huh… is that right?”

Dunia’s pupils were now a deep red and the member of the Abu Dhabi Guild was answering Dunia’s questions without hesitation.

“Oh!” The Abu Dhabi deva shouted as if he had just remembered something.

“What is it?” Dunia asked.

“I forgot about Great Britain. There’s a guild called the Windsor Guard. It’s pretty hush-hush, but I’m pretty sure that they hate Lee Jiwon more than anyone else. Just about everyone knows that they fought each other for whatever reason, but the Windsor Guard really got messed up. They had to withdraw the soldiers they lent to the NCR Guild. They definitely hate Lee Jiwon more than Wai Chung or Okamoto.”

“Wow. But doesn’t that make them pretty weak, to be defeated just by Lee Jiwon?”

“Not at all. The Windsor Guard is still a pretty strong guild. I’d say they’re on par with Cheng Long. Lee Jiwon is just way too powerful.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. The Windsor Guard hated that they had to surrender to Lee Jiwon. They couldn’t waste all of their manpower and resources against one single person; they had no choice.

“Huh…so Lee Jiwon really is that strong.”

“That’s what I’ve been saying. I still remember the guild battle between my guild and Astes. I will never forget what Lee Jiwon looked like, fighting thousands of enemy soldiers by himself. He was a legend. You probably don’t know this, but the Reaper was there too.”

“I’m curious about one thing, though. How did a deva ever get that powerful?”

“That’s still the biggest mystery. I think it was about four years after the Otadolon stage started? That was when Lee Jiwon first appeared on everyone’s radar. It was like he just appeared out of nowhere. No one ever heard about him before then.”

“But how does that make sense? It’s not like he was strong from the start, right? Someone should have noticed how fast he was growing strong.”

“But that’s the truth. There was no record of him anywhere. There were rumors that he had spent those four years sleeping in the Sunbin Guild, but I don’t think they’re true. How can someone become that strong just from sleeping for four years?”

“You are right. It is a mystery.”

“Yup and it still is. But it’s not like it matters anymore. He’s our commander who will lead us to victory.”

“I see.” After that, Dunia continued to talk to his new best friend, asking more about the Cheng Long Guild, the Nayuta Guild, and the Windsor Guard.

The outskirts of the rampart walls of Section 35’s Center B…

Dunia was going over the information about the three guilds he got out from the Abu Dhabi Guild member he had hypnotized. He was going to need to use them to stir some trouble, but his mind kept wandering. The very existence of Lee Jiwon bothered him.

“How is he this perfect?” The more Dunia learned about Lee Jiwon, the more he came to like him. Dunia was a loser. He couldn’t kill off his world’s deities like he had planned, and ended up losing all of his time to Claudia. As a result, he was imprisoned for years, unable to do anything. But he was just as surprised at Lee Jiwon’s existence as he respected Lee Jiwon’s past deeds. Lee Jiwon had never failed or lost once. Dunia expected Lee Jiwon to be some arrogant or prideful fool, but Dunia saw none of those traits.

“Is this his second life or something? He’s done everything perfectly and cleanly.” Dunia couldn’t find anyone on Earth who was willing to turn on Lee Jiwon and the Empire, save for Cheng Long, Nayuta, and the Winsor Guard.

“Those three aren’t nearly enough. And there’s no one from the Empire I can steal away.” Dunia quickly realized that all members of the Empire were fiercely loyal to Lee Jiwon. Making Lee Jiwon an enemy meant making the Empire an enemy as well. It meant that no other faction was willing to make an enemy out of either of them, it would spell certain death. If Dunia somehow managed to hypnotize all of the guild masters of the guilds that were not part of the Empire and told them to attack the Empire, there was only one outcome that would happen. The guilds’ officers would think their guild masters had either gone mad or were under some sort of spell.

No matter which way Dunia looked at this, there was less than a 0.000000001% of that working. If Dunia could hypnotize entire guilds, it might be possible, but if he was able to do that in the first place, he would have gotten rid of his world’s deities and become the ruler of Croot himself. He could only use his hypnotic abilities on few people at a time, which was why he wanted to find and meet Lee Jiwon face to face.

“Well, since Lee Jiwon still isn’t about to come out of the dungeon any time soon, I might as well head to that place.” The Abu Dhabi guild member had no idea when Lee Jiwon was going to emerge from the dungeon. He said that Lee Jiwon usually spent months at a time in dungeons.

“I just wish Cheng Long, Nayuta, and Windsor hated Lee Jiwon more than I think they do.” Dunia quickly left Section 35 and headed to where those three factions resided.

Ninth floor of the Ogre Dungeon…

I plopped down on to the floor, panting hard. I was completely exhausted. “Shit. What am I supposed to do if the elite monsters are crawling their way up here, too?” I didn’t expect the elite monsters would also leave their floor to come find me as well. As a result, I hadn’t caught a wink of sleep for the past thirteen days. It was like the monsters were equipped with radar and found me every time I tried to hide.

“Well, it’s not all bad.” The one good thing about it was that I didn’t have to waste time trying to find all of the monsters in the dungeon while Death’s Harrier was in effect. With the dungeon monsters coming to me on their own, I was able to get the most out of Death’s Harrier after using it twice. In the end, I received 1,370 Stat points from the first time I used it and 1,248 Stat points from the second time. It wasn’t bad, considering the fact that I was here alone and didn’t have the Myth Guild to lure the monsters to me.

Still, one thing was clear; not a single one of these monsters yielded any sort of EXP, golden rings, or items. I was three months into Survival, and I was sick and tired of the hunting now.

“But all that’s left is the boss monster, now that all of the elite monsters are dead.” I felt a little relieved now that I could finally see the end to this damn event. I was really looking forward to finishing the event; I had cleared all of the monsters in this dungeon and had probably collected the most amounts of points possible.

“Alright! Let’s get some rest for now.” My Fatigue had gone up to 85. I couldn’t remember the last time my Fatigue had gone up that high.

“Blink 1. Blink 2.” I Blinked away as far from the boss room’s direction as possible, in case the boss monster somehow escaped its room and found me. Once I was far enough, I promptly fell to the floor and fell fast asleep.

Section 18 of the Judge’s Continent…

It wasn’t difficult for Dunia to cross into Section 18, which was controlled by the Cheng Long Guild. All he did was announce himself as the Information Hunter and he was allowed in; he didn’t even need to use his red eyes.

When Dunia came face to face to Wai Chung, the guild master of Cheng Long, Dunia shook his head slightly so that no one would notice. Dunia noticed right away that not only was Wai Chung extremely proud, he was also very distrusting. Dunia did manage to find out that Wai Chung had a very strong desire to be on top of everyone else. Dunia just needed to utilize that trait, but from his experience, it would be a long and arduous process, and there was a high chance that he could fail. The risks were too high for the amount of effort needed, so Dunia decided that he would give up on Cheng Long.

“Now then, what is this information you’ve come to sell?”

“I have intel on the enemy deities.”

“Is that right…?”

Wai Chung wasn’t going to believe him right away, and it wasn’t like Dunia had any sort of loyalty to his world’s deities, so Dunia told Wai Chung everything he knew about Claudia, Adora, and Skyla.

“And how am I supposed to believe any this is true? I’ve never met you before.”

“Is that so important? You should care more about what I just told you.”

“Yes, that is true, but I can’t bring myself to believe anything you told me just yet.”

“Well, that’s your problem, isn’t it? I’m fine as long as I get paid.”

“Hmm…one thousand golden rings. That’s how much I think your information is worth. Of course, if it comes out that your information is true, I’ll make sure to repay you properly.”

“I understand.” Dunia didn’t care. He had given up on Wai Chung and Cheng Long. After receiving the one thousand golden rings, Dunia left the Cheng Long base as quickly as he could. He heaved a heavy sigh before continuing on. At least he still had Nayuta and the Windsor Guard to turn to.

-Things aren’t looking good for Croot…-, he thought to himself. As much as he hated Claudia and the other deities, he was still a Crootian. He had to secure victory for his world somehow…

Section 25…

“Ho ho. That’s a tempting offer.” Elizabeth truly found Dunia’s offer appealing. She still hadn’t forgotten what Lee Jiwon had done to her guild.

“We did incur heavy losses, but we still have more than eighty deities and two billion devas. And as I have mentioned, our strongest deities have yet to reveal themselves on the battlefield. I just hope you make the right decision and stand with the winning side.” Dunia practically jumped for joy when he met Queen Elizabeth. She was still furious at Lee Jiwon and wanted to see him dead. “Croot is willing to accept as many of your people as you wish to send to us. In other words, Croot’s victory becomes your victory. We just need you to hurt Lee Jiwon from the inside,” Dunia said to Elizabeth, his eyes shining bright red.

“And not to worry; we won’t just welcome you with empty words. If you help us attain victory, I will personally make sure you are given at least fifty billion golden rings and a Rank 10 item.” Of course, Dunia didn’t have the ability to officially bring the enemy over to join Croot, as he was just a deva, but he only needed Elizabeth to believe that he could. He was also glad that the Windsor Guard was fiercely loyal to Elizabeth; it made less work for him! He just needed to hypnotize N and Glavis as well…

After he secured the Windsor Guard, Dunia left Section 25 and headed for Section 59, his last destination and where the Nayuta Guild was located. There, Dunia was able to easily bring Okamoto over to his side. Okamoto and his entire guild truly despised Lee Jiwon and the Sunbin Guild. All it took was a few sweetened words and promises that they could finally have their revenge against the Koreans.

Finally, Dunia had all he needed to lure Lee Jiwon out of his dungeon!
