The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 45: Confession (1)

Min Juris heart raced as she made her way to the agreed meeting spot. She couldnt contain her excitement.

What could this be about? Why did my secret crush suddenly call and say he has something to tell me?

Her mind was flooded with possibilities, and her cheeks flushed red as she tried to imagine what it could be. In an attempt to calm herself, she vigorously fanned her face.

As she approached the convenience store, her eyes caught sight of a sleek sports car parked out front.

Who could that be? What kind of a careless person would park a car in such a narrow space?

Juri!

Ryu Min?

To her surprise, the careless person turned out to be none other than Ryu Min himself.

Min Juri felt a wave of confusion as she caught sight of Ryu Min sticking his head out of the car window.

Is is this your car?

Yeah. Im sorry for squeezing it into this tight spot. I originally intended to park elsewhere, but circumstances led me to bring it here.

.

Get in. Lets take a drive and talk.

O-Okay.

Min Juri hopped into the Lamborghini, which roared to life as they sped down the road.

Vroom

Despite the powerful engine noise, the interior of the car was surprisingly quiet and comfortable. It felt like a tranquil haven. With wide-eyed wonder, Min Juri explored the luxurious interior of the supercar. It was just as dazzling as its exterior.

How much does a car like this cost?

Not as much as you might think. Around 900 million.

900 900 million?!

Min Juris eyes widened in disbelief.

N-No, its not that expensive! Do you know how many multiple convenience stores you could open with 900 million!

Compared to the money I won in the lottery, its not a huge sum.

Ah, yes.

Min Juri had to remind herself that her friend was a lightning-rich multimillionaire, with 7 billion won from the lottery and a whopping 300 billion won in Bitcoin.

Its more expensive than our house.

She couldnt help but feel the stark contrast between their lives.

Min Juri pressed her lips together tightly as if trying to seal away her astonishment.

.

.

An awkward silence enveloped them, and Min Juri could hear the sound of her own heart pounding.

It almost feels like were on a date, doesnt it?

She blushed even more at that thought.

And to add to her embarrassment, Ryu Min seemed to keep stealing glances at her.

Feeling self-conscious, Min Juri avoided making eye contact and instead focused on the view outside the window.

Perhaps due to her uneasiness

I have something to confess.

W-What? A confession!?

Startled, Min Juris head snapped towards Ryu Min at the mention of a confession. Considering he was even dressed in a suit, it was easy to misunderstand.

Ah Its not that kind of confession, so please dont misunderstand.

Who would misunderstand?

Min Juri turned her head away from the window, hoping to hide her embarrassment.

Ugh, I wish I could disappear into a mouse hole.

Unbeknownst to her, her face had turned as red as a radish.

S-So, what kind of confession is it?

I told you before that I dreamt of the lottery numbers, right?

Yeah, you did.

But the truth is, it wasnt just a dream. It was information I obtained from the runes of the Future of .

Ryu Min smoothly revealed to Min Juri that he was a prophet.

Though he made it up, it held a grain of truth. After all, he did possess knowledge of the future.

The runes of Foresight.

And my current job is also that of a prophet.

A prophet?

Min Juri blinked her eyes, resembling a curious rabbit.

With an expression of pure admiration, Min Juri couldnt help but applaud.

This is incredible! Being a prophet, isnt that an amazingly unique job?

Uh? W-Well, I suppose so.

This is truly wonderful! And the runes of the Foresight sound absolutely fascinating!

Min Juris excitement was contagious, leaving Ryu Min slightly taken aback by her unexpected reaction.

Thank you for being so honest with me! Even among friends, it can be difficult to open up about something like this.

Well, you also revealed that youre a Buffer. Its only fair that we share these things with each other.

Fair enough. But I didnt mention the runes. Should I tell you about mine since were on this topic?

No, its okay

Its the Protective Rune I drew it in the first round. It creates a thin shield around me, with each person within a 10-meter radius receiving their own layer of protection. So, if there are ten people, there will be ten layers of protection.

Unaware that Ryu Min already knew this information, Min Juri enthusiastically shared the details.

Now were even, right? It feels great like weve confided secrets in each other.

Haha, yeah?

But why did you share such important information? It might have been better to keep it hidden if possible.

Keeping it hidden was weighing on my mind and if I didnt share it now, you might not believe what Im about to say in the future.

Huh? What do you mean?

Ryu Min revealed the details of the 4th round to Min Juri, providing her with even more detailed information than he had shared with Ma Kyung-rok.

Of course, he kept the specifics about the rewards concealed as much as possible.

So, the 4th round quest is like that?

Yeah. So, Juri, be careful too. You never know how other players around you might act, so always stay vigilant.

Yeah, got it.

Min Juri nodded, a faint smile suddenly gracing her face.

Even though you shared this with me, Im grateful it feels like youve entrusted me with something personal.

At the same time, a sense of embarrassment washed over her.

Perhaps you told me because you were genuinely concerned about me as a friend?

She wondered if his words arose from personal feelings.

If only that were true It would be wonderful.

Min Juri beamed at Ryu Min, sitting in the drivers seat, with a smile full of gratitude.

It was a smile that carried a deep sense of appreciation.

After the drive, Ryu Min dropped Min Juri off in front of the convenience store and returned home.
