Summary[]

He ends up breaking his phone and hurting his neck when falling from his chair. He gets a a message from Heart Heater asking him to pay back the money he owes. He then logs into the Western Kingdom of Lucid Adventure as the #1 Ranker, Hardcore Leveling Warrior.

He starts prancing around through a crowd of angry observers who he had upset at some point in the past. Choco Flavoured Potato Soup naively begs him for some money but ends up getting PKd with a bag of Gold. A Guard NPC comes to arrest him but he ends up bribes him with a bag of Gold and runs off to the protestations of the observing crowd.

Hardcore Leveling Warrior goes to Quest House to get a Quest from Heart Heater and is reminded he still owes money. Rim gives him a contract for a new quest which he signs without reading the terms.

The scene cuts to Hardcore Leveling Warrior about to face an Imoogi stopping Cobalt Castle from trading. The Quest is on the behalf of the Lord of Cobalt. The reward is 40 Million Gold. The Python attempts to swallow Hardcore Leveling Warrior and kill him with its venom but it is quickly dispatched. Whilst Hardcore Leveling Warrior wonders why the quest isn't completed, he is with with 20 combined magic skill attack by a group of people. They think he is dead until their entire front line is wiped out by Hardcore Leveling Warrior's Hell Fire. The Leader is enraged after watching his guild members get killed and orders everyone to exhaust all their mana and weapons in killing him. All their attacks miss and Hardcore Leveling Warrior defeats them with a One Sword Skill - Moonlight Slash.

The killed Imoogi gets resurrected as a Zombie Dragon which is the reason that the Quest wasn't cleared. As Hardcore Leveling Warrior is about to engage it, he is stabbed by a dagger wielding Choco Flavoured Potato Soup. To his surprise, he is paralysed and Choco Flavoured Potato Soup reveals his real identity as a purple haired woman. The woman then goes on to beat up Hardcore Leveling Warrior and unequip him of all his items while he screams at her. She then reveals that she knows he gets reset to Level 1 if he dies, shocking Hardcore Leveling Warrior. The woman leaves and Hardcore Leveling Warrior is killed when his head is bitten off by the Zombie Dragon.
