One Man Army Chapter 92

Chapter 92 [Episode 48] The not bad feeling 1

@ The not bad feeling.

At least up to here, everything went smoothly.

Getting the unexpected titles and items, then the Reinforcement that also awesomely succeed.

The start was so good that it seemed to be easier to make progress in the second round.

The difficulty of Dark Moon Temple was not that different from Spirit Forest, so it seemed that the drops and title could be cleared in a flash at the moment, with at least two items upgraded.

However…

To do that, there was a big mountain that need to be crossed.

"Damn it… Even if she is a legendary NPC, will she be able to do it? I only trust Ilya, though… "

Ilya, the person Sang Hyuk believed, exposed the limitations of NPCs for the first time.

Actually, Dark Moon Temple is a dungeon that is impossible to solo clear.

Solo Play was not just difficult but basically impossible. Because of that, Dark Moon Temple progress method was very unique.

Dark Moon Temple has a forked road… The path to the Dark Moon Square is the main path to the actual boss and at the other side, the secret passage to the hidden Dark Moon control room required someone that has the role of helping to pave the way for the main boss raid force and helping in the hunting.

The important point was that he could not clear both of these roads by himself because everything had to be done at the same time. So, Solo Play was impossible.

Sang Hyuk thought that Ilya, a legendary NPC, could help him manipulate the control devices that existed in the secret passage.

But, unlike Sang Hyuk's prediction, Ilya was blocked from the beginning. After seeing the situation of Sang Hyuk hunting in the main path through the Dark Moon, she had to manipulate the machinery to pave the way through the main path… but Ilya could not do that.

He did not know if it was the differences in the control room mechanism or the limit of the artificial intelligence, but anyway, Ilya was not able to take natural actions such as lowering the lever or pressing the switch by seeing Sang Hyuk's situation.

Even if Sang Hyuk tells her how to behave according to the circumstances, she could only memorize it and couldn't adapt it. If she didn't adapt it, because there were so many different patterns in each situation, in fact she couldn't manipulate the machinery.

Eventually, Sang Hyuk gave up without even passing the first gate. The attempt to clear using Ilya was a big failure.

"So, NPC doesn't work… Should I get a user to help?"

When he thought that he needed a user to help him, the first two that came to his mind was Kim Jung Woo and Kim Jung Soo.

These twins were the ones who helped Sang Hyuk the most in his previous life.

"But now these guys are slowly working to be on the top.. Should I ask Ilya to try it for one more time?"

Jung Woo and Jung Soo were reliable guys. But finding these guys and gaining their trust were two totally different things.

Let's say he returned and approach them then said that they were close in the previous life, it doesn't make sense.

"Nope, if I don't get to naturally meet them and become friendly, this can backfire. Jung Woo and Jung Soo are that kind of people who keep their loyalty to the end when they gave their trust, but before they trusted you, they were very cold, so the relationship might be completely different from the previous life."

Honestly, Sang Hyuk wanted to naturally meet Jung Woo and Jung Soo.

"Then what should I do? …. Hmmm, are mercenaries the best answer in the end?"

If he hired mercenaries, they would be able to handle the work neatly in the contract relationship. Of course, hiring a user as a mercenary was not the tactic that Sang Hyuk gladly used.

If he hired a mercenary, the mercenary would not be able to see the list of the One Guild's members, but at least the mercenary would know that he became a mercenary for the One Guild.

This could cause a strange rumor uselessly.

"Mercenaries…..  If I look for a mercenary anyway, even with Ilya supporting, I would need at least 2 mercenaries. Saying that I'm hiring active mercenary users in Community Bulletin Board also a bit…. Argh, it's hard and awkward."

Because it was unexpectedly a much more important issue, Sang Hyuk thought about it more carefully and decided to make a decision at least after lunch.

"Dark Knight and Gye Baek. No matter how I think, they are the best."

Sang Hyuk, who took and ate his lunch, clean up while muttered a little.

The result was the same no matter how many times he thought.

To clear the Dark Moon Temple, mercenaries was needed, and the best suitable as the mercenaries were Dark Knight and Gye Baek.

Of course, this result was thanks to the fact that Sang Hyuk is an antisocial person. Since there were not many people he knows in the first place, there were not many choices.

In fact, this abnormal personality of Sang Hyuk needed to be improved.

He felt disgusted when he become acquainted with someone because of the tremendous betrayal he had suffered in his past life after his return. Originally he was a person who could not be easily close to other people, moreover when it's joined with the bad memories of his previous life, he became a really antisocial person.

Sang Hyuk himself recognized it recently that he had a problem with himself. And he was willing to fix this problem.

"It was rather good. You cannot solve all the problems at once, but at least it can be the first step to solve it, right?"

He had no intention to change his personality. But in order to escape the level of distrust he felt for other human beings, at least he was going to make some people who could be called 'friend' or 'colleagues'.
