Martial Arts Returnee’s Game Broadcast

1.

Most players followed a simple rule:

• Quest NPCs stay in place.
• They can’t be recruited as party members.

But…

"Why can’t I?"

Murim warriors didn’t care about those rules.

If something wasn’t possible, they’d make it possible.

"You’ll keep your word, right?"
"Of course, of course! As long as you grant my request, I’ll take over as the village chief, so feel free to leave town whenever you want. You’ve seen my skills."
"Heh. It’s been a while since I’ve been in seclusion. My body’s been itching for action."

Watching the village chief single-handedly wipe out invading monsters, Ujiwoo had a thought—
What if I recruited him as a disciple?

And against all odds—it worked.

"Not to complain, but being a village chief really sucks."
"Why?"
"Young brats treat me like an item delivery service, demanding rewards with no respect. And in the middle of the night, weaklings come crying because they got wrecked by monsters."
"Hahaha! That’s hilarious."
"Right? Well, it’s your problem now."
"……."

Maybe he should’ve found a different disciple.

But after a brief moment of regret, Ujiwoo faced reality.

Unlike my competitors, my martial arts are still lacking.

If he wanted to gain Arena points and boost his stats, he needed a powerful NPC—
Even if it meant dealing with the village chief’s job in his absence.

How hard could it be?

• "I’m just paying for my time."
• "Not everyone has hours to grind."
