The Last Human Return: Daybreak
Chapter 11 - Broken Class
Feyn and Alice vigilantly stared at the mysterious black-robed figure. They prepare for attack at any time. Unlike fighting Mobiworm, they were impossible to run away now. This is what their instincts say.
The robed man came down. As he got closer, Feyn found that the body of the cloaked man was slightly transparent and had no legs or face. However, the pressure it generated further made Feyn a bit of a cold sweat. That pressure comes from the power of death.
"I'm Izarel. An Executor from the Underworld. I came here when I sensed a soul that did not return to the Underworld after they died." The cloaked man introduced himself with a heavy and hoarse voice.
Feyn and Alice were shocked. Underworld. Now Feyn and Alice understood why there was such a powerful death aura around Izarel. If he was from the Underworld, that was natural.
Feyn pointed to where the wolf drop item had fallen and asked. "So, is this the wolf you mean?"
Izarel nodded. "Yes. Due to hatred and resentment, it made them unable to go to the Underworld. But now it's all over. It's thanks to you."
Izarel then took something from the void. It was a black sword with a dark red tinge that looked terrifying and a jet-black token with the inscription "Rise and Death".
"Accept this. This is a gift for you." Izarel handed the two items over to Feyn and Alice.
Feyn and Alice as usual, shamelessly received the two items immediately. Feyn looked at the two items with saliva in his mouth almost overflowing.
Feyn looked at Izarel back with a bright smile. "Sir Izarel. Thank you very much! We will not forget your kindness! If in the future we meet again, we will help you as much as possible!" Feyn spoke like a very eloquent sycophant.
Alice looked at Feyn in surprise. It was rare to see Feyn so lick someone. So, Alice felt the current scene was quite strange. What kind of item was given by Izarel to the point that Feyn behaved like that? Alice curious.
Izarel nodded indifferently. "If so, I should go. My time is up now." Saying that, Izarel slowly began to disappear in the air just like that.
When Izarel left, Feyn immediately turned towards Alice with an excited face. "Alice! Look at these items!"
Alice frowned. Feyn who was calm and expressionless, such an expression made Alice feel a little uncomfortable. Alice began to assess the two items Izarel had given her.

Alice widened her eyes when judging the two items. One rank mythic item and one rank epic item. Alice was at a loss for words thinking about the game's balance.
Alice looked at Feyn stiffly. "This ... seriously? Isn't this too imba?" Alice asked stiffly.
Feyn nodded with a bitter smile. This item was too incredible for the early levels. No, even at a high level later, this item is still too imba¹. Feyn questioned the thought of the developer issuing an item like this at the beginning.
"Are you going to use it?"
Feyn unhesitatingly nodded. "of course. I am the sword and you are the token. Is it no problem?"
"certain." Alice easily agreed with the item division of Izarel.
Feyn handed the black token to Alice and used the black sword for herself. When Feyn was confused on how to contract with the sword, suddenly, a screen interface appeared.
[Do you want to make a contract with the Sword of Greed? Y/N]
[Message: When creating a Contract, the Class will turn into a Demonic Swordsman.]
Feyn who was about to press the [Yes] button without hesitation, stopped his finger when he saw the system message.
"Demonics Swordsman?" feyn muttered slightly disturbed by his words.
The perception of the people regarding the Demon was not very good. Therefore, Feyn was a little hesitant with the word Demon in the name of that Class. At the initial level, Feyn still needed a pass to enter the city and interact with the NPCs.
However, after some consideration, Feyn immediately pressed the [Yes] button.

"What?" Feyn frowned as soon as he saw the final message.
There was no notice of anything like a drop in the level back. Feyn immediately checked his status to see if his level had actually dropped.

"Dam. I actually dropped to level 1. A very foul game." Feyn whispered softly condemning the game he himself created.
"Are you down to level 1, Feyn?" Alice, who heard Feyn's grunts, asked.
Feyn looked at Alice and nodded softly. "Yes. How's yours?" ask Feyn back.
"No. I went straight up to level 25, you know?" Alice answered with an answer that made Feyn even more frustrated.
Feyn nodded. He then turned around and walked limply, his head hanging like an undead.
Alice chuckled at Feyn's attitude. He felt the moody Feyn was also quite pleasant to look at. Alice followed Feyn from behind after retrieving the item drop from Wraith Wolf.
***
In the Canaries Corporation's surveillance department room, Yoo Ilhan and his staff, stare at the screen containing Feyn and Alice defeating Wraith Wolf. That fight was incredible. However, they were completely expressionless when watching it.
"I guess there's only one cheat. And yet, another one? And, they're a party?" Yoo Ilhan muttered in a tired tone. There was no anger in his voice, he was completely fed up now.
Then, the appearance of Izarel and information about the Underworld appeared too early. The Underworld should only appear when the game has entered the end of the story. Furthermore, when Izarel handed over the Sword of Greed, the entire room held their breath. The strongest weapons made for the final content have also appeared.
"Mr Ilhan. How'this? Izarel, the King of the Underworld appeared and even handed over two important items to players in the early rounds. Isn't there no more balance in this game?" A staff member who looked so tired asked.
Yoo Ilhan could only shake her head resignedly. "There's nothing we can do. They are the main characters. Even God could not make something so fair for the main character. Especially us, right?" Yoo Ilhan said something unreasonable. But it sounds so convincing.
Yoo Ilhan then clapped her hands to get attention. "Here you go, just do it as usual. We'll be overtime again for the next two days." Yoo Ilhan's words sounded like a punishment to all the staff there. They cursed Feyn and Alice in their hearts.
