< Episode 92. A step forward (1) >

The day after the revolution mission is over.

I was sitting in the office prepared by Aserian, and I was calculating the things I had gained from the game.

Strength 7, Agility 6, Stamina 6, Spirit 1, Intelligence 28, Magic 6.

These were the stats I raised while playing Circuit Breaker and Revolution missions.

‘It went up like crazy.’

After gaining the ability to absorb blood, it was thanks to killing a huge number of creatures in Eden and Antares.

He killed so many sword masters and paladins.

And that wasn’t all.

[Owned Gold: 73,682,000 G]

70 million gold obtained from Eden and Antares, and various items.

That’s a lot of money for just one game.

‘I wish I could get a useful skill.’

After confirming the gold I had, I immediately opened a brokerage exchange.

Then, a list of various skills and items spread out in front of him.

[<Skill Book: Skill Duplicate>]

[active]

[Copy one of the target’s skills when used.]

[Cooldown: 30 minutes]

[Skill retention time: 30 minutes]

[Price: 2,900,000 G]

[<Armor: Armor of the King of Destruction>]

[The armor worn by Jong-deok, the King of Destruction. Despite being armor, it has no ability to protect the body.]

[The strength stat increases by 1 point each time you destroy something. (Maximum 30 points, resets after 5 minutes.)]

[Rating: Noble]

[Selling price: 2,000,000 G]

[<Shoes: Wings of Hermes>]

[<Skill Book: Magic Penetration>]

[<Accessory: Aspirational ······.>]

[<Skills·······.]

However, no matter how much I looked around, I couldn’t find any useful items or skills.

No, to be precise, there are useful things, but there was nothing that synergized with me.

‘I wish I had at least one platinum level skill.’

Unfortunately, it was rare for really good items or skills to be released on brokerage exchanges.

It was much more profitable to use it for yourself instead of selling it.

It was to the point where it was said that it was easiest to obtain platinum level or higher skills with gold.

Even though it is clear that if it comes up, it will be registered for an astronomical amount.

‘I’ll have to discuss this with Aserian.’

I couldn’t just look at the brokerage exchange all day, so I thought I should proceed by hiring a worker to check instead.

The next thing I checked was the holding points.

[Remaining Points: 882,934 P]

‘It’s crazy.’

147,000 points in the Dark Birth mission that was carried out due to the circuit breaker.

And earned 240,000 points in Revolution Mission.

In addition, being selected as the Performance of the Highblood, I received 35,000 points and 3% of the fee paid to Team Fighting as a payback.

‘The jackpot hit properly.’

In fact, if it weren’t for the 100,000 points for the Submission Ludiac gave me and the 170,000 points for accepting the Devil’s Situation, I wouldn’t have gotten this many points.

At most, it must have been around 600,000 points.

After summarizing the situation, I let out a long sigh.

[Name: Ahn Woo-jin (Nickname: Ren)] [Affiliation: Team Fighting Spirit]

[League: Higher League]

[Muscle: 77] [Agility: 79] [Stamina: 79]

[Spirit: 99] [Intelligence: 34] [mana: 80]

The date to use the points.

I’ve been waiting for it already.

After the Revolution mission, the community went into a complete uproar.

Raphael intervened in the middle and changed the contents of the mission.

And it was the aftermath of randomly killing the Sword Master, Archmage, High Priest, and Paladin in Valinor.

―Death as a named group in the Valinor system! As a result, a craze for random drawing! What the hell is going on in High Blood Knight 118?

“The gods who were watching the High Blood Knight 118 game left on a large scale.

The reason is none other than random drawing!

‘Eh? Did you leave the game you were watching to do a random drawing?’

There must be many gods who think like this.

To put it simply, while the top league matches were in progress, famous names in the Valinor system died as a group.

It started when the circuit breaker exploded while receiving the <King Maker> mission.

As a result, the existing <King Maker> mission virtually disappeared, and the top game maker had to urgently create a new mission.

The name of the new mission is <Revolution>.

A brief description of the mission…

-syncopation-

As a result, stinging eyes are pouring down on top game makers.

It was absurd to give the mission poorly in the first place and blame the players for their hard work.

Anyway, as there is a huge tectonic shift in Valinor, which is called the Four Rivers, attention is paid to the future.”

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It was almost like a craze for random drawing when information circulated that Moorim was going to have a Jeongma Daejeon..

└Honestly, when the mission change pops up in the middle, it’s crazy.

└ The game maker’s explanation was even more absurd lol It was irresistible because of the circuit breaker, and I didn’t know Ren would kill me like a psychopath like that lol

└Psychopath hahahahaha Who was it that said that the victory condition was to destroy the Ra Empire and establish the Holy Empire in the first place?

└ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ No matter how the top player, the lower numbering kids have been raging, how much damage it was.

└ When Ren alone killed the sword masters of the Empire of Ra and the paladins of Diana’s kingdom, my heart grew grand.

└ Ha f*ck Every time Ren kills, random drawing is crazy, but not a single name came outㅠ It seems that there are more than 1,000 children in the lower leagues to be thrown into a pile ㅠ

└ Above that heh I still picked one Ra Empire Soma hahahahaha

“Ahn Woo-jin. A disciplinary notice has come down from the higher league game maker.”

“A disciplinary notice? What is the crime?”

“Even though I asked them to refrain from massacre, they say it’s a crime of ignoring the game maker’s words.”

“What about the punishment?”

“A 10 percentage point cut in basic salary. And suspension of qualifications for six months.”

At Aserian’s words, I burst out laughing.

For just that reason, a reduction in basic salary and suspension of qualifications?

Did he give the mission straight in the first place?

“sorry······. I tried to block it as much as possible…”

Aserian lowered his head.

At her words, I sighed.

It was not something Aserian should be sorry for.

What happened because Raphael gave the mission halfway in the first place.

No, according to Raphael’s logic, it was my fault for not stopping the slaughter with the intention of raising my stats.

by the way.

‘I want to properly feed you the candy.’

I didn’t like using authority to press down when things didn’t go my way.

“If the game maker of the high league or the game maker of the Transcendence League doesn’t work out on their own, will it come out like this?”

In response to my question, Aserian puts it! I smiled and shook my head.

“Oh, sorry. Laughter without knowing. Ahahahaha, I know what Ahn Woo-jin is thinking. However, regardless of the Game Maker’s inclination, this will not happen in the High League or Transcendence League. The Game Maker supervises the match as in the higher leagues, but from the higher leagues onwards, the 12 gods manage it together. Disciplining also requires the consent of the 12 Lords.”

In short, unlike lower or upper leagues where game makers can wield absolute power, there are many restrictions and stricter procedures and surveillance exist.

At Aserian’s words, I let out a sigh of relief.

“Then I’m glad.”

Unlike the first playthrough, I felt that I was constantly bumping into Raphael, so I was frustrated, but after hearing Aserian’s words, I felt relieved.

It meant that if you were out of the higher leagues, you wouldn’t have to see such dirty things.

‘Let’s think positively.’

I decided to look positive.

The fact that they bumped into each other in itself meant that in the second round, it was no different than becoming a star player who was dragging issues around.

‘I still need to take care of it.’

I wasn’t the me of my freshman days when I was forced to compete against the star system.

High Blood Knight 112, and 118.

Through two matches, my name is known a lot in the higher leagues.

Of course, it wasn’t to the level that Raphael would be secretive right now, but at this rate, it seemed that an opportunity would come sooner or later.

‘Let’s try to see who wins.’

It was when he was about to leave Aserian’s office while gnashing his teeth.

“Oh. Your stats went up a lot in this match, what happened? Even right before the game, it wasn’t this high, but…”

Aserian tilted his head.

I didn’t say anything, but it seemed that he was constantly monitoring my basic stats.

“Oh, because I got a special ability during the match.”

“and. The timing is really good. I was worried because my basic stats were also at the bottom of the range. Ah, you know the section of Ma, right? Starting from 80, stats hardly increase through training. I thought you used points right before the game to raise your stats and leave.”

As if Aserian went well, clap your hands! hit

‘You know. Starting from 80, the stats hardly go up.’

But I didn’t bother to tell Aserian the details.

“Then I will go out to train.”

“Yes, fighting today too!”

You’ll find out soon anyway.

Four weeks passed like that.

Tring!

[The Strength stat increases by 1.]

“Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh.”

Looking at the notification window in front of me, I put down the barbell and clenched my fists.

at las.

[Muscle: 80] [Agility: 80] [Stamina: 80]

‘finished.’

I slumped to the floor.

Finally, he succeeded in raising the number of people in the neighborhood to 80.

‘My method was right.’

As I lay there gasping for breath, many moments passed through my mind.

From the red flag battle to the revolutionary mission that I ran right before.

It wasn’t once or twice that he almost died due to lack of stats.

However, I endured all those situations and eventually came to this moment.

‘It’s not the time to be like this.’

I immediately got up and headed for the office.

For this moment, it seemed that I couldn’t hold back my joy.

I didn’t want to show that to anyone.

“Ah, Woojin hyung. Are you done strength training?”

I was about to leave the gym, but Chang-beom Joo, who was training with me, asked.

“Ah, yes.”

“Then can you spam with me a little later?”

“Dalian?”

“yes. Originally, I was going to do it with Luciano hyung, but I was talking to Peanut L about what was going on.”

It’s Dalian…

‘I wanted to raise my stats and give it a try, but it worked.’

I nodded.

“great. See you at the training ground in about an hour.”

“thank you!”

Leaving behind Chang-beom Joo, who smiled brightly, I headed for the office.

And after a really long time.

Connected to the ‘System Shop’.

[Would you like to purchase strength stats?]

[9,000 P is consumed per stat.]

[Yes / No]

‘Why are you so awkward?’

In the meantime, I refrained from accessing the system store as much as possible, fearing that I would want to buy it.

As a result, the notification window asking whether to purchase stats was too unfamiliar.

then.

Now let’s raise the stats.

Tring! Tring! Tring! Tring! Tring! Tring! Tring!

[Yes / No]

[The Strength stat increases by 1.]

[You have consumed 9,000 P.]

[The Strength stat increases by 1.]

[You have consumed 9,000 P.]

[The Strength stat increases by 1.]

[You consumed 9,000 P…]

There was no hesitation in my hand pressing the button.

‘It’s a feeling I haven’t felt in a long time.’

Each time I pressed it, a little bit of strength began to well up inside me.

It was like the feeling of building a bloody reinforcement stack.

Tring! Tring! Tring! Tring! Tring!

It was when the call that had been ringing for a long time stopped.

“under. hahahaha······.”

Let’s look at the status window floating in front of me.

Laughter leaked out without me knowing.

[Name: Ahn Woo-jin (Nickname: Ren)] [Affiliation: Team Fighting Spirit]

[Strength: 110] [Agility: 110] [Stamina: 108]

[Skills (5/5): <Cloak of Silence> <Thunder God> <Breath of Thunder> <Magical Offset> <Shadow Mark>]

[Achievement Perks: None] [Dimension Perks: None] [Race Perks: None]

There.

Stats that were between 70 and 80 not too long ago.

All of them were above three spots.

“under. hahahaha······.”

Laughter.

didn’t stop
