"System!"
"Roll the Gatcha Wheel 2 times!"
Azaroth commanded and the system responded immediately.
[Congratulations! You have received the 'The Potato Chip Packet ' of Light Yagami from Death Note!
Note- Now you will be able to take a potato chip- and EAT IT! ]
[Congratulations! You have received the 'Nano-Tech Suit/Jacket' of Tony Stark from the Marvel Cinematic Universe! (No need to buy clothes now!)
Note- It's fucking Nano-Tech! It can become a shirt, suit, pants, or a weapon...even a sex toy! (You can charge it from mana stones in place of arc reactor!)]
"Let's check them, shall we?" He asked himself while rubbing his hands in excitement.
Knowing that it was a tech that could turn into armor, a jacket, a weapon, as well as a shirt, and it was used by Tony Stark made him excited.
Well, he took it out of the system space, and as soon as he pocked it, small nanobots started crawling on his upper body and became a black hoodie with a small Iron Man design in the front.
"So. Fucking. Cool....." He said as he asked for its full description.
He saw a description from the system, it was bound to Azaroth's body and could not be worn by anyone else without his permission.
It can also change its shape as per Azaroth's commands. Sadly it didn't have an internet connection or a smart AI like JARVIS.
As Azaroth was about to see his next gift sitting peacefully on the mountainside, he heard faint voices carried on the breeze.
'Hmm?' Concentrating, he realized they sounded like shouts of battle in the distance.
'Some new party must have come inside, or maybe those two hunters are still alive..?'
He thought.
Queresha had already told him that the time inside the dungeon/real world would be slower compared to the time inside her dimension.
It meant, that even if Azaroth was inside her dimension for more than an hour, it would seem like he had gone there for just 5-10 minutes.
She had also told him that the dungeon should have changed in size after he entered, doing all this had cost her more than he could imagine, but she said that it was worth it.
This made him think that, maybe the hunters dispatched would have not entered the dungeon and his teammates should be alive, well, he highly doubted that,
'Unless some high ranker entered and helped them...' He thought.
"Let's test this out!"
He willed the nanobots hidden within his clothing to emerge. With a thought, they assembled into a suit resembling Iron Man's armor.
*Cuum*x2... The thrusters flickered to life as Azaroth donned the protective plating.
"Wooooo Hooooo!!!" Launching into the sky, Azaroth flew toward the source of the noises guiding his flight. He yelled happily as he started flying in the sky.
He was really happy with this gift, every person at some point in their life, wanted to wear an Iron Man suit and fly.
Even Sung Jinwoo in Manhwa had to mount a dragon but with this nano-tech, he can not just fly but also do a ton of other shit as well.
It's not like he will pass on a Dragon if he ever gets a chance to have one, heh.
He quickly reached the spot and landed at a somewhat distant mountain as he gazed down at the scene unfolding below with curious eyes.
'Oh! She is still alive haa?' Azaroth was amused as he spotted Yoo Jin taking shelter hidden behind a boulder. It seemed she was indeed alive.
At first, when they were entering the Gate, he wanted to keep her alongside so she could tell the whole world about his prowess with her pretty face...
But, now was another story,
He can't keep her alive, she had seen him getting sucked inside the crack, if she goes out and tells people about it, it'll be hard to explain.
'Wait! How the fuck is he here!?'
He saw Sung Jinwoo leaning against a crater in the distance, coughing up blood.
"...More like why...? Did Jin-ah pleaded him to help me? Nope," He soon scraped that idea,.
He knew Jin-ah was not that close to him..at least now, and she would never put her brother in harm's way.
"Jinwoo must have come in the Mall due to some plot armor, should have listened to my classmates and came to help on his own accord.... How foolish..." Azaroth murmured to himself, trying to deduce the protag's actions.
He looked at the Giant Boss Monster noticing Yoo Jin behind the rock, 'Where is the other guy? Meh, maybe already dead' He shrugged.
Azaroth looked at his other reward, "Light Yagami's potato chips..? What the fuck?"
He took out the chips pach from the system space,
"Guess, I'll take the potato chip and EAT IT! " He chuckled as he mimicked the legendary scene and started munching on them- yeah, all that while Yoo Jin was running for her life...
The Arachne Queen, its attention now fully on the fleeing healer, swiftly adjusted its stance.
''Scc, those boobs though~" Azaroth commented.
Yoo Jin, running for her life, felt the harrowing proximity of the Arachne Queen's looming threat.
"Huff haa, save.. Huff ..please" She was huffing and panting while running for her life as felt the harrowing proximity of the Arachne Queen's looming threat....
....Her boobs were bouncing in turns- when the right one bounced up, the left would go downwards, while the left would go up, the right one would go down
Sorry for this Yoo Jin
Azaroth can handle Jinwoo, he knows about his personality and has ways to convince him about the dimensional crack and was a valuable pawn in the long run.
Where as Yoo Jin? Azaroth hardly knows her, maybe she will not talk about it but maybe she would! WHO KNOWS!
If something like this goes out that Azaroth was kidnapped inside a rift and then he came back just fine... It will be a hassle.
It may look like a small thing but if someone thought deeply, A dimensional rift opening inside a B-rank gate which was originally a D-rank gate, what happened inside, what's this whats that? —it could raise questions, very troublesome questions in the future.
Why would he take a risk? Just to convince her to not tell anyone about what happened? And if she didn't comply? Threaten her or kill her?
Shouldn't it be more reasonable to just let her die? All those problems will simply be solved.
So, he just decided to enjoy the show.. of her bouncy jugs bouncing in every possible direction.
Well, Back to her—
"Haa... No, I-I d..don't want to... *sob*"
With each desperate stride, the relentless pursuit of the monstrous spider tightened its grip on her senses.
Her heart pounded in her chest, a horrifying rhythm to the symphony of dread playing out in her mind.
*CRII**swoosh*
The Arachnid Queen's pointed leg, sharp as a dagger, sliced through the air with deadly precision.
Yoo Jin, unable to escape the imminent danger,
Was... cut in half.
In two pieces, perfectly sliced from head to her puss—
"*munch!* Damn! These chips are crispy!" The devil commented.
The air hung heavy with grief and terror as Sung Jin-Woo, now recovering from his previous encounter, bore witness to the merciless demise of Yoo Jin.
♠Sung Jin Woo's POV♠
I stood frozen in horror as the Arachne Queen claimed yet another victim.
My heart sank as I watched Yoo Jin try to flee, her escape just as doomed as Hunter Kim's. Each step was punctuated with finality as the Queen's leg sliced through the air towards her.
Helplessness washed over me as Yoo Jin's life was extinguished before my eyes. All I could do was watch, my strength...? useless in that moment.
My gaze met the Queen's multitude of eyes, an abyss that seemed to drink in the despair it created.
In that chilling instant, a single thought echoed in my mind - why wasn't I strong enough to save them?
"After all these level-ups! After all this training! Even with a weapon comparable to billions of won!..."
I looked at the Queen that was now heading towards me, "...Will I die like this!? Being a FUCKING weakling!?"
♠3rd POV♠
Azaroth dissembled his Iron Man suit and made a long sword similar to the Devil Sword Dante of DMC5.
(image!)
The sword looked like it was a part of his hand as it was connected to his shoulder.
Azaroth started counting, "Sense of loss- check, Sense of dread- check, Helplessness- check, Desperation- Check!"
"A perfect time to manipulate the fucking Protag brat!" Azaroth said while grinning like a devil.

As the Arachne Queen turned its gaze upon Jinwoo, he gritted his bloodied teeth and gripped his dagger until his palms started to bleed.
'I... promised Jinah,'
"I.. can't Die here!"
Every fiber of his being refused to die here without a fight.
Ignoring his injuries, Jinwoo marshaled what little strength remained and charged with a bellowing cry.
His feet pounded against the dirty groungs, blood trailing behind him.
The queen watched his approach impassively, its many eyes gleaming with intelligence.
"I refuse to DIE!!" Sung Jinwoo yelled and his speed increased further.
But as he was about to reach the Queen, from its maw erupted a stream of web that flew toward Jinwoo enveloping him entirely.
'Huh?'
He thought as he crashed to the ground, bound in the ethereal threads from head to toe.
'Ugh!' Only his face remained exposed, bloody teeth gritted in fury and panic. His dagger lay just beyond his fingertips, useless.
As the Arachne Queen reared back to pierce Jinwoo with its pointed leg, despair gripped his heart.
' I..I thought I gained power, I thought my days would finally come, But.. but ' All his hard-won levels and strength meant nothing before this beast.
"How much stronger do I need to be?! What kind of Power do I need to get?!" he roared in anguish, struggling furiously against his bindings even as death bore down upon him.
He was feeling all kinds of emotions, all those memories inside that double dungeon he struggled to erase from his mind, in a few moments, the Arachne Queen would pierce him and it would be the end.
But then—
"Overwhelming power" A voice echoed.
*Ting!*
A flash of steel caught Jinwoo's eye.
Azaroth appeared suddenly, he swung his greatsword to deflect the strike of the Arachne Queen.
The blade hummed with power as it intercepted the blow.
"...Over..welming.. power..?" Jinwoo muttered absentmindedly, looking at the man who easily deflected the attack.
"Yes... the answer, to your question" Azaroth said as he deflected another attack with precision, His martial arts Perfection was no joke.
Jinwoo's eyes widened as Azaroth deflected all the incoming attacks that came his way 'with gritted teeth'.
The Queen 'pushed' Azaroth back and targeted Jinwoo with its two legs,
But Azaroth quickly reached in time and blocked the two legs with his Great sword's flat surface with both hands.
"Overwhelming power... is the only.." He 'somehow' managed to push the Queen back and continued, ".. way to get what you want."
His words made Jinwoo remember that damnd statue of God's smiling face,
"Overwhelming power is the only way to make people Bow their heads... and kneel before you" He was muttering his inner thoughts in a daze.
Jinwoo remembered how everyone was kneeling in front of the statue.
*CRIII*
"Yes! No matter what.." Azaroth yelled as he 'managed' to cut off the legs of the Queen, "...What kind of strategies your opponents use, they'll become helpless in the face of Power." Azaroth said as he jumped high and avoided the incoming webs.
The Arachne Queen tried to attack Azaroth in mid-air but he easily tilted his body and dodged.
Azaroth landed on the ground and dashed towards the rear of the Arachne and cut down its two legs by putting 'all his strength' behind that swing. With that Azaroth had 'managed' to cut down its three legs.
The Queen shrieked in agony, now it only had one leg on its right side and two legs on the left, making it hard for the Queen to maintain its balance.
"People might thank you and show gratitude when you help them..." Azaroth continued.
Jinwoo thought of all the grateful words and thanks he received, 'I didn't imagine, the weakest of us all would be so useful..' others had said when he had managed to decipher the commandments and saved their lives... but at last-
'People looked down on me because I was..no I am weak...' He thought.
Azaroth looked at Jinwoo with a smile and swung his sword freeing him from the webs.
"But in the face of true power..." Azaroth gave him a hand.
Azaroth's seemingly philosophical statements weren't arbitrary; they were deliberate, a calculated exploration into the depths of Sung Jin-Woo's psyche.
It was akin to the way an astrologer might delve into your personal history before addressing your concerns.
When you go to some astrologer or predictor or a con man and tell them your problems like you are having trouble in business or relationship, instead of solving your queries, the first thing they tell you is- Your name is xxx, mother's name xxx, even if that information were available on the person's social media, he would still feel like the predictor was on to something.
What the other party is trying to do is- trying to connect with the person's inner self, they had done their research and were doing nothing but trying to guess how the person would feel by shooting darts in the dark.
But it was different in this case. Azarort didn't need to shoot in the dark, he fully knew about Jin-woo, he knew what sort of life Jiw had lived till now, and what sort of thoughts his words would invoke inside him.
Azaroth practically had a map of Jinwoo's memories, navigating through the labyrinth of resentment, betrayal, and unresolved emotions.
Azaroth's words weren't just about the immediate battle; they were about the battles fought within the recesses of Jinwoo's own mind. The echoes of the past reverberated with each swing of Azaroth's sword.
The mention of overwhelming power triggering memories of the God's smiling face statue and the bowed heads of the kneeling people struck a chord with Jinwoo. It wasn't just a philosophical statement; it was a key to unlock the doors of Jinwoo's own history, revealing moments of weakness, moments of feeling overlooked and underestimated.
So even if the things Azaroth said looked unrelated at the moment, for Jin-woo, they seemed something else.
In those moments of battle, Azaroth wasn't just a warrior; he became a mirror reflecting Jinwoo's inner demons.
He could have easily killed the B-rank Boss, but his words while fighting 'with his life' on the line while protecting the despair-driven protag invoked a greater impact.
~ Jin Woo's POV ~
As he extended his hand, saying, "But in face of true power...."
Instinctively, I reached out and grasped his hand, "...They will easily betray you..." I muttered, the words escaping my lips almost involuntarily.
He, however, smiled in response. Without glancing back, he snapped towards the incoming web of the Queen, and a burst of flames consumed the threads.
I was subconsciously re-living all those memories, how one by one all those grateful fuckers left me... it wasn't their fault, I was the one who was being a hypocrite at that time, in this world, at the end of the day, they were just trying to save their own lives....
Humans... a race who kills their own if it means gaining something.... but the race who acts as sages to maintain their false image of righteousness... I-I hate those—
"That's why you need allies.... good people who are not just money greedy but really care for their friends and allies," he said.
Listening to his words my eyes widened, and a flood of memories rushed back to me.
Lee Joohee's unwavering support and Mr. Song's selfless acts of kindness.
Their genuine care and readiness to sacrifice.
My gaze involuntarily shifted toward the bloodied Arachnid Queen. With only three legs remaining, the monstrous creature seemed on the brink of death.
In a desperate act, the Queen mustered whatever vitality remained within its fucked-up form and lunged toward us with an open mouth.
Panic seized me, and the words escaped my lips in a reflex, "Behind you!"
He, for a split second, looked at his right hand's connected sword and shook his head.
He then picked up my fallen dagger from his left hand and pivoted toward the oncoming threat and hurled the dagger with a defining force that sliced through the air.
*Pierce**Spurlg**CRIIIIIII!!!!!!* The dagger found its mark, piercing the forehead of the Arachnid Queen with unwavering accuracy.
*snap!* A spark of fire ignited within the hole left by the dagger..... It was... astonishing...
I looked at that with wide eyes and mouth.
He turned his back to the Queen, his gaze meeting mine...
~Jinwoo's POV end~
~3rd POV~
Azaroth turned and looked at Jinwoo with a smile.
Jinwoo watched in awe as Azaroth's massive greatsword dissolved into countless nanobots that reformed into a simple black tank top and hoodie.
"Hi, by the way, I'm Azaroth," said the hunter, extending a hand in greeting.
As soon as he said that a large boom occurred from behind and the Queen's body blasted due to his fire.
It looked like a badass action movie scene....
Jinwoo could only stare in disbelief, "A...Azaroth?"
This immensely powerful man, who had just defeated the terrifying queen, was the Azaroth that he had come to... help...? Eh..?
"Azaroth...as in the student at my sister's school?" He asked just to be sure.
