Leveling with the Gods
[Level Up with God Episode 2]

âMan, thatâs not how you do it.â
Itâs an ugly voice.
At that moment, a tendon appeared on Son Gokuâs forehead.
âWhat man?â
Tick-.
Goku took his finger again and paid for the points.
âYou play one more round with me!â
The competitive spirit was activated.
Not an amusement park, but a kid barely over ten years old at most.
I couldnât believe I lost to a guy like that.
How ugly.
This time, Son Goku used Hwaan Geumjeong.
but.
[K- O-.]
[LOSE-.]
ââ¦.â
The results were not that different.
They say itâs pitiful.
I couldnât hit even a single hit.
âItâs a little better than before, mister.â
The kid shook his head, pouting his lips.
âBut thatâs not how you do it.â
Ppajik, pkajik-.
Tendons stretched on Gokuâs forehead.
My pride was hurt.
I canât believe I was defeated by a kid like that.
âThen what do you do?â
The kid pondered for a moment and asked Son Goku, who was grinning.
âShall I tell you?â
* * *
The kidâs name was Kim Geon.
I am 11 years old this year.
The boy born to Korean players was born and raised in the tower.
âAh, are you telling me to play defense? âI only know what kind of attack it is.â
âSo you keep getting beat up.â
âYou have to go straight into the combo there. A is immediately followed by C. Didnât you memorize it?â
âYou want me to stop jumping? Strange habitsâ¦â
Kim Geonâs training was harsh.
In the meantime, Son Goku could not control his anger and challenged Kim Geon again.
But the result was no different.
âYouâre really not good at it.â
âUgh!â
The world of competition is a cold world.
In the end, Son Goku, who lost the game, followed Kim Gunâs training without saying anything.
Sweat-producing, Son Goku devoted himself to practice.
Ten days passed in an instant.
[K- O-. ]
[LOSE-.]
âOhâ¦.â
Even though we were defeated.
Goku was only able to land one hit.
ââ¦done.â
âGood job, uncle.â
On the other side, Kim Geon raised his thumb.
It was my first time.
The fact that he was able to land a successful attack on Kim Gun.
Getting compliments from him.
âhey.â
âyes?â
Goku asked with sparkling eyes.
âWould you like to buy me food?â
* * *
Wagu wagu-.
ââ¦.â
Kim Geon looked at Son Goku as if he was dumbfounded.
He greedily tore at the meat and held the bowl of soup with his other hand.
They eat so fast and so much.
âDid you even hear a beggar in your stomach?â
Even as he said that, Kim Geon was already eating his second piece of meat.
âMahiaae (just eat).â
Gulp-gulp-.
Son Goku drinks soup made with chicken as if it were a luxury.
After being full for a while, Son Goku laid back on his chair and burped softly.
âOh, Iâm full.â
âYou really eat a lot, man.â
Kim Gun and Son Goku sat facing each other and patted their stomachs.
After filling his hungry stomach from playing the game all the time, Son Goku stared at Kim Geon for a moment.
âBut why are you fighting so well?â
âAre you fighting well? Oh, you mean the game?â
âokay. that.â
âIâm just doing it. âMom and Dad say I was born with it in my blood.â
âblood?â
âKorean blood. âThey say Korea is the best at games.â
Son Goku tilted his head at the somewhat familiar name.
âWas that guy from there too?â
I had heard that Yuwon came from a place called Earth.
However, I think I heard which country it was, but I canât remember exactly.
Anyway, what do you think?
For now, I decided to only think about beating him.
âBut man.â
âhuh?â
âThat guy canât teach me for a long time.â
âuh? why?â
It sounded like a thunderbolt.
I need to learn properly and take revenge, but they canât teach me.
âIâm going to be a player.â
âplayer?â
âyes. One day, I will become a top pureblood and become a ranker.â
Saying that, Kim Gun clenched his fists.
Ranker.
Great power and eternal life.
A symbol of success with wealth and fame.
Ranker was a position that all residents born in the tower longed for.
âSo when that time comes, goodbye.â
âIs that so?â
Son Goku scratched his cheek and looked at Kim Gun.
âDo you know who I am?â
While eating, Son Goku took off the hood of his robe.
Long white hair that goes down to the back.
Yellow sparkling eyes.
Son Goku had quite a striking face.
Thereâs no way I wouldnât recognize him-
âWho are you?â
Dreaming-.
The eyes are looking at Son Goku innocently, as if they really donât know.
Son Goku, who was looking at Kim Geon in bewilderment, shook his head.
âdone.â
âyes?â
âThen is there a ranker you respect?â
âSure then!â
It seemed like it was really clear.
âKim Yu-won. âThe dog is really cool.â
âKim Yu-won?â
Gokuâs brow furrowed.
After all, even if I come out, itâs still him.
âIâm learning to beat him now.â
If Kim Geon knew about this, he might say he would quit teaching right away.
Kim Gunâs expression seemed full of excitement when he mentioned Yoo Wonâs name.
âyes. Iâve been thinking about it ever since I learned the name. He comes from the same world as me. âI think it has to happen like that.â
Yuwonâs name was now remembered by everyone in the tower.
This kid was the same.
A ranker from the same world.
He is also skilled enough to save the tower.
Yoo Won was Kim Geonâs idol.
âIs that so? Hmmâ¦.â
While pulling out the meat stuck between his teeth with a toothpick, Son Goku looked at Kim Geon.
Even though he was young, he was the guy who taught him how to fight.
âI guess I can give him something in return.â
* * *
The next day. And the next day again.
Son Goku visited Lee Seong-yoonâs game room every day.
âThatâs right, like that! ACA combo. Thatâs right!â
âWhy arenât you improving? Are you not talented?â
âI did pretty well today. A lot of my bad habits disappeared.â
âPushing means being that good. Donât act like that, try being a little more subtle.â
Ten days passed, fifteen days passed
, one month passed,
and about two months passed.
âAre you feeling better now?â
Kim Geon praised Son Goku for the first time.
Now, Kim Geon was able to beat Son Goku only after losing nearly half of his stamina.
âBecause when I tell you to do something, you do it.â
Son Goku shrugged his shoulders.
Now he just needs to do a little more.
Only when he was confident that he could win did he plan on challenging Yuwon.
So the next day,
Son Goku went to the game room again.
But.
ââ¦?â
Kim Geon, who always came out first, was nowhere to be seen.
A face he had never seen before sat across from Son Goku.
As the game against an unknown opponent began, Son Goku tilted his head.
âHeâll be out in a little while.â
He would come soon. I thought so, but
Kim Geon did not come that day.
* * *
A day passed and the next day.
And the next day was the same.
Kim Geon no longer came to the game room. It
was only when a month had passed that Son Goku finally thought about it.
âIâm going to be a player.â
âplayer?â
âYes. One day, I will become a top pureblood and become a ranker.â
Top gave a test to those who were prepared.
And from what Son Goku saw, Kim Geon was always prepared even though he was young.
âI guess heâs really done, that guy.â
Son Goku wasnât worried.
He would definitely do well.
He was no one else but the teacher who taught him.
It was a pity to part ways like this, but I thought it was fate. This
happened.
There was only one way to repay that guy.
â âI will definitely win.â
The only goal I had from the beginning was to beat Kim Yu-won.
Tadak-.
Son Goku burned with determination today again.
To some, it might just be a game, but
for Son Goku at this moment, that was everything.
* * *
The season changed.
Summer passed and the day came. It got cold.
A year passed.
Things happened, big and small.
But in the meantime, Son Goku did not stop coming to the game room.
As a result of grinding his teeth and playing games every day, Son Goku became a well-known expert in the neighborhood.
âThat guy again? âThere it is.â
âWould you like to try it?â
âHey, give up. You canât win anyway.â
âOkay. Iâm just wasting points for no reason.â
There are only one or two people who challenge Son Goku every day.
Most of the people who come to the game room have already been defeated by Son Goku at least once.
There were people who came after hearing rumors from time to time, but they could not beat Son Goku.
âWhoaam.â
Son Goku yawned.
It was no longer fun.
I felt the old boredom again.
There was no one to fight with anymore.
âIs it time to end this?â
The next opponent came up to the challenge.
I moved my hands out of habit.
The first start was a light approach and a
kick.
Ten out of ten. I hit one here and started.
Butâ¦
wow
â¦
the kick missed.
âLook at this?â
This opponent felt different.
Gokuâs eyes changed.
He straightened his posture and thought of a combo in his head.
âRemember, right? ACA. The most basic combo. All the next combos start here.â
Just as he taught me,
deal with him slowly and firmly.
âOh, well, itâs not like you pressed it. If you hear that sound, youâre doing well.â
âHit and run. If you keep rushing, youâll just die.â
It was quite a fierce battle.
The opponent frequently dodged attacks and counterattacked.
It seemed as if he was reading all of his movements.
At the end, the victory was tilted to both sides, looking as if he would lose and win.
[K- O-.]
[WIN- !]
A message of victory appeared on Gokuâs screen:
âAja!â
Son Goku clenched his fists at the hottest game he had played in a long time. It was
a close match, but he knew for sure from this.
There was no one who could beat him anymore.
âBut who is it all of a sudden?â
Suddenly, I was curious.
Where on earth did this guy come from and how is he so good at it?
âWhere can I see his face?â¦â
The moment I stood up and checked the other personâs face.
âWow.â
Kim Geon, who was staring at âLOSEâ on the screen, smiled brightly and looked at Son Goku.
âMister. Are you doing well now?â
* * *
After receiving the call, Yoo-won visited Lee Seong-yoonâs game room again.
A kid was waiting there with Son Goku.
âSo, so⦠So, the uncle is Jecheon Daeseongâ¦â
âOh, the person is Kim Yu-won.â
âThat person is Kim Yuâ¦.â
He continued.
Kim Geon pulled his cheek.
Tears welled up from the tingling pain.
âWow Mr. âIs this a dream?â
An absolutely unbelievable situation.
Goku left behind Kim Geon, who had a blank expression on his face, and pointed at his iron fist.
âhey. âLetâs compete again.â
âDo you really have nothing to do?â
âDonât talk nonsense.â
Yuwon nodded at Son Gokuâs confident reaction.
âOkay then.â
Yuwon sat across from Son Goku.
There was a solemn air. Son Goku took out the knife he had sharpened so far.
âcan win.â
He even defeated his teacher, Kim Geon.
In order to win against Yuwon, Goku practiced and practiced again and again.
The days when I learned from Kim Gunâs nagging every day.
Now is the time.
[âHwaan Geumjeongâ is activated.]
It was time to show off everything that had been honed.
[ROUND 1]
[FIGHT!]
Letâs go.â
And that moment.
[âYejianâ is activated.]
Kiiing-.
A golden light appeared in Yuwonâs eyes.
Immediately after his character lost his footing in the air, Son Goku jumped up from his seat and screamed.
âKyaak! This is against the rules!â
