At the staff only seats, in Union Square... 

The stadium was silent for a long time. Choi Chuntaek, whose real name was now more famous than Dark Wolf, was currently partic.i.p.ating in a fight. The staff hadn't felt nervous. They thought that Carlos would fall down in front of Choi Chuntaek's splendid kicking performance, just like the first time he appeared on the stage.

However, the appearance of this fight was a bit different. Carlos had prepared a trump card. Choi Chuntaek fell into Carlos' trap and was beaten miserably. The commentators speculated that Carlos seemed to have a Star Piece. The anxiety of the staff members increased when Choi Chuntaek was buried under a pile of rocks. No one thought he would survive. It was the same for Yoo Minseok, who was watching the fight with sweating hands.

'...It is the end.'

If Choi Chuntaek lost, then the South Korean team's morale would fall to the ground. Choi Chuntaek was now the signature star of Arkstar who represented South Korea. It happened as Yoo Minseok was letting out a deep sigh...

“Team Leader-nim?”

Since it was a public place with other staff members, Cha Jincheol, who was next to him, called him team leader. Yoo Minseok turned to look indifferently at Cha Jincheol. Then Cha JIncheol showed the laptop screen.

'Why did he come here to work?'

This was supposed to be a vacation for the staff after a busy schedule. The company took care of the staff so special seats exclusively for employees were booked on the second floor. Yoo Minseok watched the game with his legs stretched out leisurely along with the other members of Team 1. Unfortunately, his wife couldn't come because she was on a business trip. Even so, this was a rare vacation.

'This person is truly a work addict.'

The moment he was about to look at Cha Jincheol's laptop.

“What? What?!”

“Wahhhhh!”

“Uwaaaack!”

“Crazy—!”

“Grandfatheeeeeer!”

The screams of the staff rang out. Yoo Minseok's eyes widened and his gaze moved back to the screen. An unbelievable scene was occurring there.

“Wow.”

Suddenly, the old man recovered his health and rose from the pile of rocks. Then he dragged Carlos into the dust. It really happened in the blink of an eye.

“W-What? He revived?”

They didn't know everything for the sake of the user's privacy, but they still know the general direction. They could roughly know the monsters killed and the skills obtained. It wasn't too close. The Union cameras could be used to observe a character from a maximum distance of up one kilometer.

Of course, they couldn't record that much detail in caves or dark places. Well, this wasn't important anyway.

“What's going on? Did he learn a resurrection type skill? I didn't see any such reports.”

Yoo Minseok stared at the screen with blank eyes when someone called out to him, “Team Leader-nim.”

“Uhu, uhh. What is it?”

Yoo Minseok could see the screen of Cha Jincheol's laptop. Cha Jincheol was currently showing a record of Choi Chuntaek's skills.

[Code #3142-082721800, user 'Jackson' has acquired Marbel's hidden skill 'b.l.o.o.d.y Orc Transformation (Hulk version).' (Time acquired - 14:38)]

“......”

Yoo Minseok checked his watch straight away. The watch was showing 14:39.

“Isn't this crazy?”

* * *

[Forcibly removed all the equipment you are wearing except for your underwear.]

[This game is for 15 years and over.]

[Your underwear can't be taken off no matter the physical pressure.]

[You have lost owners.h.i.+p of your body to b.l.o.o.d.y orc 'Mudur' because of your death.]

I felt all the blood in my body circulating rapidly. A magnificent upper body, red muscles, and raised blood vessels. The sound of the beating heart and the b.l.o.o.d.y red skin seemed to deny the existence of the world.

[Uweeeok—!]

An insane man roared toward the sky. No, it was me and it was also Mudur. Yes. We were also only in our underwear.

“...Grruk.”

How surprised was Carlos? He stared at me while bleeding from the mouth. His eyes, which were once filled with scorn, now had a look of disbelief. His limbs were already twisted bizarrely. Maybe Carlos would die shortly after this.

[...Chwik.]

Mudur noticed it and laughed. Two giant fangs that pointed upward exuded a momentum that seemed to pierce the sky. The white beard and hair that symbolized masculinity turned black. My original appearance couldn't be seen. Most of all, my head was a bit big...

'Give me back my body, Mudur.'

I asked Mudur to give back owners.h.i.+p of my body.

[Bah. You talk too much, old man. This body is now mine.]

As expected, Mudur seemed to have no intention of giving back. Prometheus' messages weren't visible at all. s.h.i.+t, what was going on?

[Chwi chwi chwi chwi—♬]

Mudur seemed to be riding the rhythm as he picked up the fallen Carlos with two fingers. The b.l.o.o.d.y orc I transformed into, Mudur, was like an ugly monster. He looked at Carlos like he had found a funny toy.

[Chwik. You're smaller than you used to be. Transform again, human.]

“Cough.”

Carlos couldn't answer because he had blood in his throat.

'What? What the h.e.l.l is this monster?'

The Arrow of Time had already emerged from Mudur's shoulder. Fortunately, it was the compet.i.tion so he didn't have to be afraid of losing the Star Piece. However, Carlos was very afraid of the monster in front of him.

[Hmm.]

Meanwhile, Mudur knew that the man in his hands was the one who had transformed into a giant bear. The sense of attack was very strong so he wanted to fight against the bear. He was very frustrated because the transformation was released. Furthermore, the human had bizarrely twisted limbs. It had been a long time since he was out in the world, but it wasn't very fun.

[You can't transform? Then you are useless.]

“......!”

Carlos' eyes flashed with surprise. It happened the moment when Carlos' expression distorted...

“Kuaaack!”

Carlos let out a terrible scream. Mudur lifted up Carlos' right arm. Then he removed the left arm, left leg, and right leg in a careless manner.

“Kuaaah! Kuaah! Aaaack—!”

It was a terrible sight. Mudur had a casual expression, like he was taking off the legs of a trivial bug.

'That's enough. It is fine up to here! Stop it now. Hey, Mudur!'

I kept shouting but Mudur just smiled.

[Bah.]

Mudur scoffed.

[The big nostril G.o.d put me into a fireball prison. Do you know how frustrated I was? Isn't this degree of freedom okay? Chwik.]

Mudur shrugged like nothing happened. Then he chewed on Carlos, who only had his torso and head left. There were no screams. Carlos was silently logged out. There was also a message announcing the end of the game.

Beeeeep—!

[The game has ended.]

[Do you want to replace the player?]

At the same time, a small portal was created behind me. I had to go into the portal to replace the player.

'Go inside, Mudur.'

[What if I do want to? Puhuhuhu.]

s.h.i.+t. He was completely out of control.

* * *

-W-What is going on?

-Choi Chuntaek has transformed into a red monster and is brutally tearing Carlos to death! It is like playing with a toy!

-It is a ridiculous fight. What is Choi Chuntaek's hidden power? Additionally, what is that transformation skill just now? He is truly a player with unknown potential!

The audience screamed loudly in response to the excited voices of the commentators. It was such a hot fight. Choi Chuntaek was too brutal after transforming into the red monster. In particular, the scene at the end of him eating Carlos' torso and head was a big hit. It was a shocking scene that was probably the highlight of the day. Some mothers were busy covering their children's eyes.

Fortunately, the scene that was shown again as a highlight was covered with a mosaic.

“Ah, really. Why walk so slowly, Oppa? Come a bit quicker!”

At this time, there were some people who entered the stadium late.

“I exercised too much, so my leg muscles are strained.”

A man and woman only showed up now. They were Kim Sujeong and Ma Seokdu.

“Our place is over there. Go quickly.”

“Aish, it's bothersome.”

“Ah, Oppa! Don't say it is bothersome. Go quickly!” 

Kim Sujeong pushed Ma Seokdu's back. His muscles were so large that it wasn't easy to push him. Kim Sujeong pushed Ma Seokdu with great effort. The two of them barely managed to sit down.

'Sigh, a bear would be lighter than this.'

Kim Sujeong glanced at Ma Seokdu and let out a light sigh. Nevertheless, she didn't hate it. Ma Seokdu came here only because she pestered Ma Seokdu to go play. To be honest, she had a good feeling toward him. Ma Seokdu's heart was still unclear, so it could be called a one-way street, not a two-way street. Sure enough, men should have a reliable taste.

-Right now, the next player from Brazil has come out. How will he overcome this difficulty?

“Ah, it's starting.”

“......”

Kim Sujeong moved her gaze to the screen while Ma Seokdu shut his mouth and folded his arms that were pressed tightly by the people around him. Even this appearance of Ma Seokdu was cute for Kim Sujeong. It felt like she was sitting with a real bear. His slightly fat look was very cute.

'Ah, I want it to finish quickly and go eat.'

However, Ma Seokdu didn't know Kim Sujeong's heart and was thinking about eating. He was very hungry.

-Choi Chuntaek has raised his fists high in the sky!

-He has slammed it down!

-Ah, how can this be! The ground has collapsed. It is real strength.

The thing that followed was another shock. Kim Sujeong and Ma Seokdu had wide eyes when they saw the red monster raging on the screen.

“W-What? That is Father? What happened just now?”

“No, why is Hyung-nim doing that? Is he sick? Hey, Sujeong, is Hyung-nim's health okay?”

“O-Of course! What are you talking about?” 

From the beginning, Ma Seokdu was one of the few people who knew Dark Wolf's ident.i.ty. Well, he didn't have time to brag about it because his Hyung-nim revealed his ident.i.ty not long after Ma Seokdu found out. Ma Seokdu was also a person who was very tight-lipped.

Ma Seokdu came to the stadium with the feeling that he was meeting his Hyung-nim after a long time. However, the image of his Hyung-nim was that of a beast.

-Kuweeeeeoh!

Choi Chuntaek looked very cool as he beat at his chest like King Kong and performed a victory pose. Ma Seokdu wanted to do it once. It was so majestic. For reference, Ma Seokdu loved King Kong movies so much that he watched them more than 10 times. It was the same even now.

“Oppa, what are you doing with your hands on your chest?”

“Eh? Ah, cough. It is nothing.”

Ma Seokdu hurriedly lowered his hands.
