Episode 002 Link Start

It was a notification about a new characteristic that I had heard unconsciously. When I opened the link master item, the description of the characteristics and skills were listed.

[Yoo Seo-jun]

*Feature (2)▼

[Elementalist]▼

Grade: SSS grade

All elements can be manipulated by combining and disassembling with the five basic elements fire, water, wind, earth, and light.

However, it takes a lot of mana to use the skill.

Attribute Skills[4/4]▼

┗SSS class elemental resistance

┗Use of class A elements

┗Class A Element Combination

┗Class A Element Decomposition

[Link Master][LV.1]▼

Grade: SSS grade

By linking with registered characters, you can borrow their skills. Skills evolve as you grow.

Depending on the grade of the link target, the number of skills that can be borrowed is different.

Skills borrowed from the link target are added to the ‘auxiliary skills’ category.

Attribute Skills[4/4]▼

┗Keeping Cards – People

┗Card Draw – Character

┗Purchase Card – Character

┗Card link

*Support Skill[1/5]▼

┗Class C appraisal (fixed)

Upon awakening, four fixed [characteristic skills] are registered, but the skills sometimes changed through evolution.

Also, except for the ’emotion’ skill given at awakening, four additional [auxiliary skills] could be learned.

In the description, it was written that the skill borrowed from the link target would be registered as a [Subskill].

I guess we’ll have to wait and see how it actually works.

[Proceed with the tutorial.]

As I progressed through the tutorial, the notifications lined up in succession.

[Link Start!]

.

[Attempting to connect to all worlds for the first time.]

.

[Link is complete.]

.

[Please click View Card.]

When I clicked View Card, a large translucent window opened like a book.

Inside the window, the backside cards were neatly arranged.

[Person Card] [Filter∨]

[search : ]

◀[1]▶

Seeing that there is a filter function, number of pages and even a search bar, it seems to be convenient for finding a card.

[Once you get a card, it will be stored here. Cards can be obtained through draws. Please run a free card draw for the tutorial.]

When the card draw skill was activated, a golden card was created in the air.

Underneath the card was written [Free Draw].

It was like playing an old mobile game.

When I put my hand on the back of the card, the card started to spin around with a bright light.

At every moment, light of various colors spread around, and blue light flashed with great brightness.

[Grade E] [Killian]

The front of the card emits a soft blue glow.

There was a person with sharp eyes.

He had a hood wrapped around his mouth, and two crescent-shaped daggers were held in his hands.

[Do you want to register the card in the storage box?]

[Yes No]

When I clicked yes, the card storage window opened and the bookshelf automatically moved over, and the card was registered on the back page.

[For a link, click the registered card.]

The currently registered card was a character card named Killian, who appeared to be an assassin.

[Link Start!]

Along with the notification, the percentage figure went up and hit 100%.

[Link successful!]

[Killian’s skill ‘E-class stealth’ (48 hours) has been linked.]

Seeing that the link was successful, it seemed that there was also a case of failure.

Seeing that there was a time next to the linked skill, it seemed that the use time also existed.

*Support Skill[2/5]▼

┗Class C appraisal (fixed)

┗E-class stealth (48 hours)

That’s how it was applied.

[Auxiliary skill] was free to ‘replace’ or ‘delete’ except for the number limit.

However, in general, if you wanted to use a [Subskill], you had to get a skill card and learn it.

So it’s a bit tricky.

This is because skill cards are being traded at high prices due to their rarity.

However, thanks to the [Link Master] attribute, the more cards I could link, the more skill cards I had.

There was a time limit because it was ‘renting’ the skill, but even so, it was amazing.

“hey! Don’t come out soon!”

The door burst open and Minyoung came in again.

“You haven’t woken up yet, have you? I’ll make you feel better.”

“ah! ah! Let go.”

“Leave anything. Won’t you wake up soon?”

As soon as Min-young entered, he sighed and grabbed my ear lobe.

“okay okay. I will go out on my own.”

Caressing my tingling ear, I followed Min-young down to the first floor.

Oh Soo-yeon was sitting at the central table on the first floor, decorated as a cafeteria.

“Your skin is good? Did you get a good night’s sleep?”

Oh Soo-yeon chuckled as she put down the iced Americano she was drinking.

It was nice to see Oh Soo-yeon’s babbling again.

“Is this kid laughing? Minyoung, what happened in your room?”

“no. nothing.”

“Did you have any good dreams?”

Big hum.

He smiled because he was happy, but it must have seemed strange to Soo-yeon. Because I was always arguing with her.

“It was a nightmare, but it’s nice to see your faces.”

“Oh, chicken. Don’t be silly and let’s go quickly. I will be late.”

Soo-yeon rubbed her forearms and left the door.

*

First gate challenge.

It wasn’t just our team’s challenge.

While dealing with the monsters coming out of the gate, when they became somewhat stable, people started thinking about how to close the gate where the monsters came out.

As part of that, one way the Awakeners came up with was to go directly into the gate.

“So is there any way?”

Suyeon asked as she headed towards the gate.

There were some successful cases in other countries, but in Korea, no strategy was known yet.

“huh. The inside of the gate is in a dungeon format, and the gate closes when you get out after dealing with the boss monster.”

“Is that all? But how do you know?”

Since I couldn’t say that I had regressed, I naturally came up with a lie.

“I looked for foreign cases.”

“Oh, so you slept late?”

this works

Min-young believed that I overslept because I was looking at the real strategy.

“But there is one thing you need to be careful about.”

“What?”

From noble mtl dot com

Now that we have to clear the dungeon together, we should learn about the risk factors properly.

“After killing the boss monster, a certain amount of time is given. If you can’t get out there, you’ll be locked in a dungeon.”

“How much are you given?”

“I think each dungeon level is different. If it was short, it was 1 minute, and if it was long, it was 3 hours.”

“Ugh, isn’t one minute too little time?”

“Perhaps the size of the dungeon is that small.”

And one more thing.

Dungeons close even when no life activity is detected.

If you kill all creatures in the dungeon and come out, it will be closed immediately even if there is time left.

*

“It’s buzzing.”

In front of the gate where the first challenge will take place was crowded with people who had heard the rumors and gathered.

“Are there so many challengers?”

“Most of them must be onlookers?”

Police guarded the area around the gate.

This is because the military and the police were united to stand guard around the gate to protect the safety of the people.

So I had to show them my hunter registration card to enter the gate.

“Will you show me your hunter registration card?”

When we showed our hunter ID to the inspector in front of the entrance, he moved away and guided us inside the barricade.

“I wish you good luck.”

Inside the barricade, hunters who tried to challenge the gate were gathered.

And among them, as expected, there were members of the Korean Awakened Association.

Seeing that neither Kim Min-chul nor Hwang I-chan was in sight, it seemed that they had not yet arrived.

It was unsightly to see everyone arguing over who would go in first.

“It seems like everyone is just watching? Aren’t we going in?”

Minyoung asked as if he didn’t understand.

It was like that even before the return.

Everyone waited for someone to enter first.

Because I was afraid of what was waiting inside. And at that time, there was a team that entered before us.

“Wait a minute. It’s not good to go in first.”

“You can go in first and wake up first.”

“It’s not that simple inside.”

I was about to explain that, but the team that happened to be in my memory volunteered to go in first.

“Everyone act like a moth. Because the one who goes in first is the owner. hey! Let’s go in!”

“yes!”

From noble mtl dot com

No one really stopped them from entering.

Rather, it was a welcoming atmosphere.

“Let’s go in too.”

“a little bit. Hang in there.”

Bochae told Suyeon to wait for a while.

Before the regression, after entering that guild, the association approached them.

At that time, the person from the association who approached us was Kim Min-cheol, and he entered a little later to deal with him.

Thanks to that, I was able to receive information and support and clear the gate safely… … , this time it’s no joke.

Thinking back, I was horrified to realize just how bad the Awoken Association were.

Even though they knew some information about the dungeon, they carefully waited for the hunters to come out and tried to manipulate them.

“Minyoung-ah, Soo-yeon. Are you ready?”

After a while, I asked Min-young and Soo-yeon, and they answered as if they had waited.

“A horse.”

“huh! I’m ready too!”

“Then, let’s go in too.”

Just now was the timing.

If you move a little later here, you will meet Kim Min-cheol and Hwang I-chan.

Then I can’t say for sure. I might kill them here.

*

“It’s wet.”

“I can’t see very well. Are the people who entered first okay?”

“It won’t be okay.”

“How do you know that?”

I know very well.

The name of the guild we entered earlier was Heo Jeong-man’s Guild.

At least there was a reason to remember the guild name.

It was because I witnessed the gruesome bodies of the guys here.

“How do you know, I guess. You saw it earlier too. Have you seen a successful one among those who believe in their own strength?”

“It is true. There have been a lot of stupid people in the meantime.”

Even when dealing with monsters coming out of the gate, there were always those guys.

Those who believe in their own strength and enter the coffin.

“But, are you really blind? hey. Seojun Yoo. you are an elementalist Lighten it up a little.”

“huh. I was trying to do that anyway Just wait.”

In memory, there was a fan on the side of the wall that could light a fire.

Well, after a bit of searching, I was able to find it quickly.

Hwareuk!

When he made a torch using the element of fire and lit it, the surroundings became brighter.

“I’m so envious.”

Soo-yeon, who looked around the brightly lit area, said at once.

“what?”

“Your ability. Elementalist. It’s the ability to handle all the elements in the world, right? In addition, it has elemental resistance.”

“But it is not invincible.”

“No?”

“huh.”

There is only one ‘weakness’.

[However, it takes a lot of mana to use the skill.]

In order to overcome this, he learned how to understand the elements and apply them with less power, but the limits of mana were clear.

“The world’s Seo-Jun Yoo has a weakness.”

“why. We all have one weakness. It is an unwritten rule not to reveal weaknesses, but to make up for it, we move as a team.”

“Well, there is such a thing.”

Minyoung is right, but I now have a new characteristic.

I haven’t tried using the registered skill yet, but it seemed like I could definitely make up for my weakness.

“Wow!”

Min-young, who was walking well, turned her head and covered her eyes.

The corpses in front of us were terrifying to the point that Soo-yeon, who embraced Min-young, who was surprised, closed her eyes tightly.

“It’s a trap.”

“Are there more of these?”

The two hesitated, perhaps frightened.

But you can rest assured.

This is the end of the traps in this dungeon.

I picked up a piece of stone that had fallen nearby and threw it farther away.

It was to reassure Soo-yeon and Min-young.

“I think you can rest easy. And there are other ways.”

“other way? What?”

Rather than going to a place that is more advantageous to them, I would rather have them come out and fight.

How do you do it?

I used the element of fire to create a ball of fire the size of a basketball.

“Suyeon, do you know how to hunt rabbits?”

“No way, you.”

Realizing my intentions, Soo-yeon took Min-yeong and stepped back.

“Let’s see if these don’t come out after all this.”

I tossed the fireball down the passage inside the cave.

Kwakwawang!

The fireball exploded and the cave rang for a moment before it fell silent. and soon after

Fight against each other.

From far inside, along with the thick smoke, the sound of several fast-moving footsteps began to echo.

“come. Get ready.”

gulp.

The sound of the two spitting was heard on the stereo from both sides.

And soon the guys showed up.
