If Miu didn’t wake up from their dive, the ending was obvious.
‘I’m definitely going to get robbed.’
Miu is a top-ranked player and probably never thought they would die, so they must have a lot of important items. Even if I don’t get robbed, some items will break the moment they die.
After contemplating, Mo Yeon-hu rummaged through his inventory. Due to the recent aftermath of Siege Warfare, it was filled with building materials and combat supplies.
Even so, it wasn’t enough to help him withstand the Zombie Wave with his unskilled abilities.
‘Zombie Wave, people, Miu…’
He had never fought against a Zombie Wave or users before, so it was virtually impossible for him to win this fight. He can’t even handle a Raid properly, so how is he supposed to overcome this situation, which is much more difficult?
Especially with this crappy gun.
—Clatter?
And just his Skeleton that looks like a giant denture?
‘I’m definitely going to die.’
And that’s not all, he’ll be stripped of all his items. Besides.
[(Alliance) Miu: You guys should stop trying to stop me]
[(Alliance) Miu: If you had sent him out when I told you to, you wouldn’t be in this mess]
[(Alliance) Miu: Why keep a spy around lol]
[(Alliance) Miu: If you don’t like what I’m saying, vote yes in the next kick vote next week]
[(Alliance) Miu: I have a weak stomach, so I can’t hang out where there are spies]
The thought of having to lose so much to protect someone who was trying to hate him to death made Mo Yeon-hu hesitate, unlike his usual self, but…
“…I don’t know!”
When did I ever live thinking so much?
Squeak, the Bike handle turned in an instant. The place he headed to after making a U-turn was.
‘Just do it.’
It was Miu.
Mo Yeon-hu, who was running straight ahead, estimated the distance between the Zombie horde and Miu, and began to build a tower around Miu.
Perhaps because he had built it several times to give gifts, it was built quite quickly. Nevertheless, Mo Yeon-hu’s face was as if he was about to die.
‘Ah, how am I supposed to fight against so many Zombies?’
Miu is skilled enough to wipe out a wave with just their body, but he wasn’t.
He’s only seen such scenes over their shoulder, can I really do it…?
‘Let’s take care of the Darkness Zombie first.’
—Bang, bang!
Mo Yeon-hu shot at the Darkness Zombies that were still cawing inside the fence. He thought it would be better to take care of even one of them in advance since the wave was coming.
‘Hmm?’
But it was strange. The Zombies seemed to be dying faster than usual. Normally, with his gun, he would have to fire dozens of shots to kill even those small fry Zombies…
‘Something’s weird today.’
The sense of incongruity in the settings that he felt as soon as he logged in, and does resetting the settings usually have this much of an impact? Or was the Necromancer updated?
‘Crap, the Zombies are almost here…!’
But there was no time to dwell on that strange feeling.
Mo Yeon-hu quickly checked the tower. The tower standing at the bottom had the thickest walls to protect Miu. Miu was virtually trapped in a box, completely surrounded except for their head.
‘If I cover their head, I can’t see their condition.’
He wanted to just lock them up inside the wall, but Special Zombies have the characteristic of breaking through walls, so he had to check Miu’s condition from time to time and check for damage to the walls.
And in the unlikely event that the defense fails…
‘Hold out until resurrection.’
It would be best to survive the Zombie Wave without dying and without losing gold or durability, but if that failed, Mo Yeon-hu’s goal was to hold out for just one minute until resurrection so that he wouldn’t be robbed by other users.
‘Can I fight against users and hold out?’
That was his concern, but it was Mo Yeon-hu’s only plan.
‘Okay, the tower construction is good enough for now.’
Mo Yeon-hu swallowed hard and looked at the stairs.
To build a tower, stairs had to be designed together, but since he was only going to hold out on the top of the tower from now on, stairs were unnecessary.
Mo Yeon-hu installed a mini-bomb at the starting point of the stairs he was standing on and quickly climbed up.
—Boom!
With the sound of collapse, all the stairs except for the one Mo Yeon-hu was standing on crumbled. This way, even if the Zombies break through the tower, he can buy a little more time.
“Ugh…”
However, seeing the collapsing structure made him feel strange, as if he had nowhere to retreat.
‘Let’s hold out.’
The Zombie Wave has a time limit. Mo Yeon-hu quickly memorized the Necromancer’s keys in his head.
‘Q, S, Q, A, D, R, E, Shift, A, W, sometimes starting with S, S, Q, A, D, R, E, Shift, A, W…’
He’s nervous. He’s never done anything like this alone in the game before.
He was originally just a noob who only trolled in Raids, wasn’t he? But…
‘I have to protect them!’
His love for Ms. Mi-yeong was still burning.
Of course, he was a little upset by her actions that were different from his feelings. What good is it if Ms. Mi-yeong is kind, when Ms. Mi-yeong’s character, Miu, is constantly hitting him with extreme deals?
‘I’m trying so hard, how can I be a spy!’
For a moment, he felt wronged and his lips pouted. Mo Yeon-hu unknowingly thought of Kwon Mi-eon, the person he had met today.
Kwon Mi-eon was kind. In fact, he was still suspicious of his intentions, but his attitude wasn’t bad.
‘I don’t even expect Miu’s personality to be similar to Ms. Mi-yeong. If they were even half as similar to Kwon Mi-eon, it wouldn’t be like this…’
Mo Yeon-hu paused when he inadvertently thought that.
And his phone came into view. Even though it was turned upside down, it was still vibrating intermittently. It must be Kwon Mi-eon.
“…Ah, why is he doing this.”
Mo Yeon-hu rubbed his head. He didn’t know why he thought that. Feeling embarrassed, he made a small hole in the tower and looked outside. At that moment.
CRITICAL WARNING: ZOMBIE WAVE STARTED!
You have entered the wave radius of 〈B-Class Boss Type: Core Beast〉 that occurred in B-3 area!
Current Status: Unavoidable / Forced into Combat Situation Survival Difficulty: Dangerous (RED)
The wave has started…!
Along with the notification, he heard countless footsteps, the cawing of Zombies, and the sound of strong wind. Amidst all the commotion, Mo Yeon-hu leaned out the window.
—Kyaaak! Kyat!!! Kkeuak!
There were so many Zombies. Not just a lot, but there were Zombies everywhere he looked.
Mo Yeon-hu’s face turned pale as he saw the ones that were jumping up and climbing the walls, along with the crude roars that hit his ears.
‘I, I have to do this…?’
There seemed to be much more than he expected… He couldn’t help but make a crying face. Not only the determination he had made countless times until just now, but also the skill sequence he had been constantly reciting, he couldn’t remember anything.
Looking at those countless Zombies, he couldn’t think of anything other than the result of both he and Miu dying.
—Tat tat!
However, while he was thinking that, a Special Zombie moved.
—Tat, tat, tat, tat!!!
Despite being a humanoid Zombie, it crawled like a bug and climbed up the tower in an instant.
‘It’s so… disgusting!’
A red heart in the shape of a human face was beating in the center of the chest of the tattered creature, as if it had been eaten away by something.
‘Is that the Core Beast?’
Judging by the shiny red band around its body, that seemed to be the Core Beast, the core of this wave. As expected, its speed was significantly different from other Zombies.
The Zombie crawled up the tower wall, looking around and making strange noises.
—Kkigik, kkik? Kkieek?
As it turned its head, Mo Yeon-hu thought.
‘Damn it, I’m scared. I feel like I’m going to cry.’
He felt like he was playing a horror game… But he couldn’t just watch silently like this. Mo Yeon-hu reluctantly loaded the magazine with a crying face.
‘Let’s start with that one.’
It’s annoying to keep Special Zombies alive. He shot at the Zombie that hadn’t been aggroed yet.
—Bang! Tat tang!
“Ah, damn it.”
His luck was bad. He happened to overlap with the moment the Core Beast was jumping and fired wildly into the air. And very unfortunately…
—Kkik, kkigik!
(Notification) 〈Core Beast〉 has recognized you.
The Core Beast’s aggro has been drawn.
‘It’s fast!’
The Special Zombie was so fast that it quickly kicked off and climbed up, dangling on the top of the open tower. Then, it fixed its gaze on Mo Yeon-hu, who was looking up at it from inside. The problem was…
(Notification) 〈Core Beast〉 has recognized you.
‘There was another one?’
It was the face that was peeking out next to it.
‘Crap, are two of them attacking me?’
The Core Beast, which is the center of the wave, is naturally strong.
Some people describe it as being like PVP, and it attacks people quite skillfully. And Mo Yeon-hu was at the level of shooting dozens of shots to catch even mobs, let alone PVP…
‘Wow, I can’t do it at all.’
Just realizing his skills made him feel powerless for a moment. Negative thoughts flowed naturally, but.
‘Right, this is just a game anyway.’
Click. Mo Yeon-hu aimed at the target.
‘You won’t know unless you try, right?’
Mo Yeon-hu quickly raised his gun. The moment he made eye contact with the Core Beast, which was about to fall towards Mo Yeon-hu, licking its lips.
—Bang!
The bullet flew.
Mo Yeon-hu fired a burst with the crappy Necromancer gun, suppressing the recoil as much as possible.
—Bang bang! Bang! Bang bang!
As the gunshots continued to ring out, the sense of incongruity that Mo Yeon-hu had been feeling since earlier became so clear that he blinked.
‘What is it? The gun feels so different in my hand than before.’
Before, even if he fired just one shot, the recoil was so severe that he would immediately look up at the sky, and it was incredibly difficult to aim in succession.
But unlike that strange feeling, now it’s so easy…?
“Ah, damn it!”
—Kyaaak!
Of course, it seemed like he was mistaken.
Seeing the Zombie falling towards him through the hail of bullets, it was clear that he hadn’t hit a single shot. Mo Yeon-hu aimed at the target again and was about to fire one more shot, but something was wrong.
The Zombie that was rushing towards him just…
‘Did it, pass me by?’
Didn’t it pass him by?
Surprised, a notification popped up at the bottom.
⚠ Necromancer HIDDEN SKILL! 《Brain Reverse》 ⚠

‘Hidden Skill?’
He quickly pressed See More and the explanation followed. It was a notification he was seeing for the first time, so he had to read it carefully, but he was horrified by the situation that followed, so he couldn’t do that properly.
Because the Core Beast that Mo Yeon-hu shot…
—Kyak!!!
—Kyaak!!!
Attacked another Core Beast!
Mo Yeon-hu’s eyes widened as he witnessed the two Zombies fighting each other with a loud noise.
That’s right. He was…
