Skill monopolization up to floor 666, episode 001
1. Give me a piece of shit about sacrifice
Looking back, it was truly a retarded life.
Let’s say you were bullied or robbed by gangsters during your school days.
Because I was weak.
Let’s say that it could be because of the grinding done at the factory.
Because I didn’t know anything.
I was also ignored by my friends.
I have sacrificed and given up items to my colleagues without knowing it.
I was able to bear with it all.
but….
‘Isn’t it a bit much to die like this after coming all the way to this floor?’
There is currently a black spear stuck in my chest.
This is the spear of death thrown by Amon, the god of destruction.
‘They said I could kill someone like that… but it turned out that it was impossible to catch someone with a tank’s body.’
I reached the 666th floor, the lowest level of the labyrinth, only by believing in the words of the three gods.
I tried to stick it on, but it didn’t work.
It’s a total mess.
All the comrades who had given up their items have passed away.
The protection-related skills that Samshin had given him also became useless.
‘Damn it. Why did the Three Gods give us this kind of sacrificial skill? If we have party members, we can protect someone or not!’
I came here following the instructions of the three gods.
I was fooled by sweet promises of sponsoring good skills and switched to being a tank.
I did everything I was told to do.
Because I wanted to prevent the destruction of the Earth.
But the result is like this.
It was wrong to follow the orders of a god I knew nothing about.
‘It was useless to raise others and give up items. They were all gone before I even reached the 666th floor.’
If I had known this would happen, I should have continued as a dealer instead of a tank.
It was so frustrating to see dealers being attacked.
‘But I still lost an arm.’
I’m not very happy.
Because that little bastard Amon regenerated his arm in an instant.
‘fu*k, I took the wrong route from the start. I shouldn’t have listened to the three gods… .’
A giant demonic figure looks down at me.
[For a mere human to reach the lowest level and cut off my arm. How amusing. It was more than enough for a little fun.]
Was it fun?
A little fun?
My colleagues all died and I worked hard for 18 years to get here, and this is all I get?
Bam.
I clenched my teeth and straightened my bent knees.
[Wow. Even with a hole in your chest, you still have the strength to stand up.]
“Your daughter still has strength left.”
[Did you really become this strong because you received the support of the three gods? However, you did not reach the level of a demigod. If you had received my support, the results would have been different.]
“Shut up and stick your neck out. I’ll cut it cleanly.”
[A person who doesn’t even have the strength to stand has guts. I admit it.]
Amon raised his finger.
Dozens of black windows appeared around me.
‘Damn it. I don’t even have the magic to avoid it.’
If this continues, I’ll end up like a skewer.
[The fun is over, human.]
Soon dozens of spears pierced his entire body.
A moment when your mind becomes dizzy.
[The core awakens with an unknown force.]
[1% to core completion…]
A message was vaguely visible. * * *
[It ended up failing.]
I opened my eyes to a mind-boggling sound.
[That’s right, I told you. You should have chosen another human.]
[Would that have made a difference in the outcome? It was impossible to capture the God of Destruction with a human body in the first place.]
God of Time, God of the Underworld, God of Balance.
Three gods are standing before me, talking.
[Oh, you’re awake?]
“Why am I here? If I die to that bastard, won’t he take my soul?”
[Your soul was stolen by Orcus’ power just before you died.]
I looked at Orcus at the words of Kairos, the god of time.

‘Is this guy’s doing that core or something message that popped up?’
[Be thankful, human. Thanks to me, you were able to save your soul.]
The god of the underworld called Orcus brings color to life.
Yes, thank you so much I’m crying.
[If you had been hit by the death spear thrown by Amon and died, your soul would have been captured and suffered forever.]
Harmony, the god of balance, stands by your side.
‘fu*k. Those damn bastards.’
The three gods made me stronger and helped me reach the lowest level of the labyrinth, but I don’t have good feelings about them.
This is the result of forcing sacrifices and concessions with wrong orders and leaving others behind.
‘They just chose me as a tool.’
Originally, gods did not care about human life.
Don’t think about it in long-term terms.
‘I’m glad I don’t have to use you again…’
Unfortunately, I guess I am destined to continue working like a slave.
If you were going to let me go, would you have saved me in the first place?
[I guess I’ll have to try a last resort.]
[Kairos. Are you really going to use that method?]
[I guess that’s the only way.]
Look. What kind of scheme are you plotting again?
[Tae-seong. Just ask one thing.]
“What is it?”
[If you regain your strength and reattach, can you defeat Amon?]
I shook my head.
“Will it work? I barely managed to cut off an arm. Aren’t you expecting too much when you’ve given me a sacrifice skill?”
[So, if we go back with our current knowledge? Is it possible?]
return?
You mean turning back time while retaining your memories?
“Was that… possible?”
[If we combine the powers of the three gods, we can turn back time.]
“Then why didn’t you do it a long time ago? Why did you let it go on like this?”
[As I said, this is a last resort. It was meant to be implemented if you failed.]
[If you hadn’t reached Amon, you wouldn’t have had a chance at a new life, human. Be grateful.]
So… if I was a human with no potential, you were going to just discard me?
Now that it looks promising, I’m saying I’ll try it one more time.
Orcus, the god of the underworld, must have read my disgruntled expression and started yapping again.
[Hey. Do you know how hard it is to steal a soul and travel back in time? You should know that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, tsk!]
[Return is something that goes against the balance, but since Amon has already upset the balance of the world, there is nothing we can do about it now.]
[Tae-seong. Can you do it?]
You want me to go through 18 years of suffering again?
The result will be the same anyway… Wait, maybe it’ll be different?
“…If I go back, will I be stronger than I am now?”
[Of course. The power of information is stronger than you think. Even though we may not remember you, you just need to become stronger and stand out.]
[Human. Can you do it? This time, we need to properly gather our allies and form a perfect attack force.]
[You will meet us again because it is the same time over and over again. Don’t worry, there will be no problem in your growth. You can do it, right?]
After much thought, I nodded.
“Let’s give it a try. There’s no other way.”
[Good answer, Taesung. Then, let’s proceed with the time reversal operation.]
[Hey, man, it takes all my effort to regress one human.]
[Stop whining and let’s get started.]
Light flowed out from the body of the three gods who had been speaking like that.
The green aura of the god of time.
The ashen aura of the god of the underworld.
The yellow aura of the god of balance.
The three energies merged into one.
[Tae-sung. Please take care of Amon.]
“Don’t worry. This time, I’ll put together a perfect attack force and take care of it.”
[It feels reassuring when you say it like that.]
[If you make some sacrifices, you can save the world.]
[Don’t worry, even if we don’t remember. We’re on your side.]
The combined light enveloped me.
[Please gather stronger colleagues than before and complete the task.] * * *
When my darkened vision returned, I was in a different place.
‘This is… an alley?’
The day is dark, but I remember.
This is the alley where the labyrinth appeared.
‘You’re really back, right?’
I stood up with my knees straight and tried moving my hands and feet.
It moves very well as I wish.
‘I got a physical body. I went back to before the labyrinth appeared.’
I don’t know the exact time.
However, one thing is certain: it has returned.
It seems like the magic power that has been built up over time is not felt at all.
‘Hehehe, you really went back to the past?’
You stupid three gods.
The smile never stops on my lips.
‘What? Gather stronger colleagues and complete the task?’
Why should I do that?
Why should I take the lead and make sacrifices for others?
‘From now on, I will only believe the words of the three gods and not spread them to others. Seriously.’
I’ve been living my life paying attention to what other people think.
I was bullied and beaten.
But I couldn’t even raise my voice properly.
Because I was used to it.
Because it was easier to stay still than to rebel.
‘It was a truly retarded life.’
Things will change now.
I won’t move only at the command of the three gods.
‘Take what you can and throw away what you can’t.’
I have been used as a long-term tool by the Three Gods, but now it is my turn to use you.
Because I am the subject of my life.
‘I won’t live like a fool anymore. I’ll give up sacrifices. Whether it’s rewards or items, I’ll take it all.’
As I was making that pledge, I heard a shout from the side.
“Hey you little punk! Who the hell is getting up on his own? Why don’t you get on your knees quickly?”
I turn my head and a tattooed man approaches me with rough movements.
At first glance, he looks like a gangster… .
‘Wait a minute. These guys… aren’t they the ones who robbed me that day?’
Yeah, I remember I broke one of my arms at that time.
When I see their faces, I’m convinced.
I came back that day.
“The kid is laughing and making a fuss? He’ll have to get hit again to come to his senses… Meow!”
I caught the wrist flying towards my cheek and snapped it.
A little harder.
Woohoo!
“Kuaaaah! Euaaaah!”
“I, that dog is!”
The thugs come running, shouting about loyalty.
He greeted me warmly with a fist.
Bam! Bam!
“Ugh!”
“Kueuk!”
It took less than five seconds to take down all three of them.
“Hey. Let me ask you one question. Answer me straight.”
A head nodding vigorously.
“What month and day is it today?”
“1… January 30th… .”
“What year?”
“2037… .”
ah.
Is this that day?
The point of regression is accurate.
“What time and minute is it now?”
“It’s 11:58… .”
It’ll be midnight soon.
“Then we will start soon.”
“what….”
I stepped back without saying a word.
Then I watched from a distance.
With your arms linked.
“It’s almost time… .”
“What… Huh?”
Guggggggg.
The ground shakes.
At that moment, I thought it was an earthquake.
Pot!
The world turned red.
Super Blue Blood Moon.
Today, the moon is larger than usual and is dyed blood red.
‘A disaster has begun all over the world.’
moment.
Whoosh!
“Ugh, euaaaaaaaaaaaaah―”
The ground where the gangsters had been collapsed and they were all buried.
It was the moment when a sinkhole called the Labyrinth appeared.
