The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - RMLP Chapter 96: Anger (Part 1)

“Ugh.”

Ju Sung-taek’s eyes fluttered open as he regained consciousness, his senses slowly returning to him.

His vision went from a blurry haze to a clear focus.

‘What’s going on? Was that all just a dream?’

Strangely, there was no pain, just a sense of awakening from a deep slumber.

‘What a f*cking dream man, that sh*t was so real…’

In that dream, he had attempted to murder a buyer but ended up on the receiving end of a brutal retaliation.

It was a terrifying experience to face an opponent who was immune to his fear skill.

“Well, it doesn’t matter, it was just a dream, right?”

Ju Sung-taek shook his head, trying to shake off these bad scenes, and began to assess his surroundings.

The place looked oddly familiar.

‘Where am I…?’

To his surprise, he found himself inside the second-floor building he had prepared as his escape route.

‘Ugh? So, it wasn’t all a dream?’

He attempted to stand up, placing his hand on the floor.

‘Huh…? Where’s my arm??!’

It all came rushing back to him.

‘That buyer cut off my arm.’

But his loss extended beyond just his arm.

“Ugh, f*ck my leg!’

Even his leg was gone.

Confusion, frustration, anger, and an overwhelming sense of emptiness washed over him all at once.

He desperately wanted to scream, but it felt like his throat was blocked.

‘Where are you…? Where are you, you damn bastard…!’

He confirmed that this was no dream. It was painfully real.

His anger surged beyond words, filling the void left by his lost limbs.

“Where are you! You miserable, f*cking insect-like scumbag!”

He frantically searched for the person who had reduced him to this state.

There was no doubt about the identity of the offender.

“Buyer, you bastard! I wouldn’t mind tearing you apart! Get Out!”

Ju Sungtak tried to get up with bloodshot eyes.

But due to the missing leg, even that was not easy.

“Did this damn son of a b*eeetch make me like this? I’ll definitely kill… “

At that moment, Ju Sungtak’s eyes fell on a neatly folded piece of paper on the ground.

When he unfolded it, he found a lengthy letter written in dense handwriting.

[Your name is Ju Sung-taek, right? I checked your ID. Your address is written on the back.

Do you really think it’s my fault that you lost your leg? That’s your doing, you bastard.

Why did you hide a bomb in the clothing collection bin? Were you trying to kill me with that?

Honestly, I was so pissed that I wanted to kill you, but since you’re missing both arms and legs, I’m just letting you live.

Who in the world treats the guy who was trying to rob them and even gives them medical treatment? Consider yourself lucky.

Live a good life instead of trying to rob people. I know your name and address, so don’t cause trouble for no reason. If you do, you’ll really die.]

‘W-what is this?’

It was clear that the buyer was the one who wrote this letter.

However…

‘What happened to my leg is the result of the body explosion?’

Suddenly, a wave of helplessness washed over him.

To fall into his own trap, it was a bitter realization.

He couldn’t blame anyone else, and it was far from an ideal situation.

‘But does this guy usually carry paper and a pen? Leaving a letter behind?’

Muttering in disbelief, he searched his pockets.

‘Uh, it’s gone. My wallet!’

His wallet, containing his ID, had disappeared.

‘Damn it, my entire savings were in there!’

He took away up to 300,000 won in cash.

Asking people to live a good life then he robs others?!!

‘This scumbag. He must have thought I was a joke, huh?’

Even if he blamed himself for his missing leg, it was evident that the buyer was responsible for his missing arm.

He had more than enough reason to bear a grudge.

Not only did the buyer take his item and wallet, but he also took away his arm and leg!

Ju Sung-taek couldn’t let go of his anger and frustration.

“Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!”

He shouted so loudly that it echoed through the building, yet it couldn’t fill the void left by his missing limbs.

“I’ll kill him. I’ll definitely kill him, even if I lose my life trying to!”

He remembered every detail about the buyer—his face, build, and voice.

While the buyer was undoubtedly strong, Ju Sung-taek was confident he could win in a rematch.

‘If only the body explosion had struck him…’

Ju Sung-taek thought he had lost due to bad luck, and as he attempted to take a single step, he lost his balance and fell.

Thud-

“Damn it.”

Setting aside his pride, he limped out of the building, unaware that the person he had been searching for was invisibly watching his every move.

Ryu Min couldn’t help but smile as he read Ju Sung-taek’s thoughts from behind.

‘It looks like he’s planning to get back at me, just as I expected.’

After all, severing someone’s limbs tends to brew resentment.

‘But realistically, what can he do in his current state?’

Could he seek revenge when he could hardly walk, especially when his opponent is Ryu Min?

‘There’s no way he’d stand a chance if we were to face off again.’

Could he have won if he had utilized the body explosion technique more effectively?

‘Honestly, I wasn’t even bothered by that weak skill.’

While the Fear Curse could be considered a potential threat, it didn’t appear overly menacing.

‘After all, I have an 82% resistance to it.’

The fact that the Fear curse was nullified earlier was due to this resistance.

‘Well, it’s not 100%, so I could have been unlucky.’

But he wasn’t overly concerned.

‘Resistance reduces the duration of the Fear curse by the same percentage.’

Normally, the Fear curse lasted for 5 seconds. With an 82% resistance, it would only last for 0.9 seconds. In other words, even if he had an 18% chance of being affected by fear, it would only last for about a second.

‘One second is enough to lose a life, but not in front of this guy, he was so careless.’

This was why Ryu Min confidently faced the Fear curse. Even if he were affected by fear, it would likely dissipate with just a casual ‘Huh?’

‘Anyway, despite reaching this point, he still wants to take revenge on me. He’s got some spirit.’

Though Ryu Min met him as Hwang Yongmin, there was no way for Ju Sung-taek to come after him.

‘With that desire for revenge, he would make a name of himself. If he has any items, he would immediately list them on the market. This will benefit me too. He may not be in the best physical condition, but he still needs to earn a living, right?”

Ryu Min chuckled as he watched Ju Sung-taek struggling to move with his unsteady gait.
