31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 132)
this was a long time ago.
“I'm awake, I'm awake!”
“and… I woke up!”
“Finn is really cool….”
All the surrounding players who heard the news of the snowfall on the game board came running..
“I broke the labyrinth of penance?”
“Unbelievable… It was possible?”
“How many of my words were ate up?!”
“pin! It's a pin.!”
Until now, the labyrinth of penance has never been broken through..
No matter how much their abilities increased, the mind-shattering ruins like the Labyrinth of Asceticism were too much for even strong horses..
Moreover, it was considered a foolish act to put a raised horse into the maw of a labyrinth where it was at risk of death..
Meanwhile, the gods were surprised when Snowfall finally broke through the labyrinth..
“Blood of the Beginning is definitely amazing.….”
“You haven't even fully awakened yet.?”
“Snowman must have done a good job, didn't he??”
“What will come out? What will come out? What will come out??”
“Well, let's be quiet.….”
A labyrinth of penance that has never been conquered. What treasures can you find there?.
“uh? But this….”
[Finn Modria's Quirk: Strong Good Works.]
[Finn Modria ignores the options and acts..]
[Behavior is influenced by your usual disposition.]
“uh… uh?”
“ruined! pin….”
While Kang Seol kept his mouth shut and watched the results, the gods started talking as they wanted..
“soul liberation?”
“it's crazy!”
“If you do this, you'll lose all your rewards.!”
Whirly Whirly…
The soul's blessing sound effect continues.
Everyone withheld judgment for a moment due to the feast of countless additional abilities..
“uh? Still, if you have this much additional ability,….”
“No, I know what you would have given me if I had chosen the demon beast.?”
“Even if you only chose a shepherd,….”
“The liberation of the soul must be lost at all costs. I'm falling over because of this eccentricity.….”
“Well, after going through all that trouble,….”
“Everyone be quiet, the snowman is shaking..”
Snowfall was not angry or irritated. For him, the current situation was somewhat predictable..
‘It seemed like it would be so….’
Finn was special.
The original blood that Finn obtained was something that he obtained by chance thanks to his noble nature, and he did not necessarily suffer losses due to his eccentricity..
‘…Why??’
Why did Finn make this choice? Kang Seol was curious about that..
In the end, it was Finn who went through the hardships, not him, so he didn't feel any different because Finn made an odd choice..
I'm just curious..
That's why Kang Seol quietly watched his actions..
[Finn Modria tears the hem of his clothes..]
[Finn Modria engraves something on the hem of his clothes..]
[Wrap something with the hem of your clothing and place it in the harvester's lantern..]
[Reaper's Lantern is restored to its original state..]
However, a situation occurred that even Snow Seol could not help but be embarrassed by..
“uh?”
“…What are you doing??”
“check! Check it out quickly!”
“What's missing?”
Snowfall opened her mouth after checking Finn's belongings..
“…doesn't exist.”
“what?”
“I don't have anything?”
“It's gone….”
Items missing from belongings. It was something that should never be lost..
“The blood of the beginning... doesn't exist!”
* * *
Kang Seol unwrapped the cloth that Pin left behind and checked what was inside..
‘I finally confirmed it.’
What on earth is written in this letter?.
- Finn Modria leaves a note to the Ascetic. If you have found this letter, you have probably reached the end of the labyrinth of asceticism and freed the souls trapped within the Reaper's Lantern..
Finn left this letter with a specific target in mind..
- First, I would like to express my gratitude. Because of your actions, countless souls trapped in the labyrinth will have regained their freedom. According to nature, according to their wishes.
The content wasn't very long.
- Guiding those who are lost is valuable in itself, but your good deeds must be rewarded. For that reason, I leave my items here..
Instead of reading the letter, Kang Seol checked the small crystal vial..
A red liquid that fills about 1/3 of the vial and is flowing..
- It is the blood of the beginning. Originating Blood is an item that can greatly increase the power of blood flowing in the body. If the user works hard, his/her true value will gradually be revealed..
This vial was originally full of primordial blood. The person who took more than half of the dose was Finn, the original owner..
- But unfortunately, it is not a flawless power. The process of taking the primordial blood is extremely painful and lengthy. also… There are also side effects..
‘It's a side effect?’
Kang Seol’s eyes widened as he heard this for the first time in his life..
How can Snowfall know everything that happens on the game board?.
Because everything that happened on the game board was conveyed through interface messages..
- The more you become addicted to the blood of origin, the more someone's will invades your mind. The meaning is good but evil, like a very young child. If the person who obtains this object loses focus and becomes encroached upon by its meaning, there will be dire consequences. I also… Because I couldn't dare to touch the last remaining primordial blood. After that, I thought about what to do with this item..
‘…It was like that..’
I didn't know about snowfall.
What problems was Finn experiencing due to the Blood of Origin?.
- And after going through this labyrinth, I decided. I decided to leave this item here.
“…….”
- It was hoped that one day, someone with an indomitable spirit would obtain this item when he conquered the Labyrinth and freed all the souls. Please use it with care. and…
pong-!
Snowfall blew off the specially treated caps of glass vials. And he drank the contents inside without hesitation..
Suddenly…
A bitter taste lingers in my mouth.
A very strong scent came out from all parts of the body, including the nose, ears, and mouth..
My whole body started to feel hot..
- I hope I can meet you someday.
That was the end of Finn's letter, and Snowfall dropped the cloth used for the letter..
Tuk…
Crumbling!
“Shut up…….”
Park Chang-sik looked at the snowfall with surprised eyes and took a step back..
“I… That's it….”
Snowfall's body rose slightly into the air..
Snowfall, unable to hold back her moans any longer, screamed..
“Shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure!”
Crunch… Wood clatter…
It was a strange thing.
Snowfall's missing right arm began to regenerate..
The sticky red mucus twisted together like threads, forming a lump. And it gradually took the shape of an arm..
[I accepted the blood of the beginning.]
[The blood of origin stirs the body..]
[The original blood brings the body to perfect condition.]
Cheeeeee…
As if blood had a will, it spewed out red smoke and formed snowfall's arms, and as if that wasn't enough, it spewed out the nasty energy inside its body..
“Ughhh….”
Park Chang-sik was scared, covered his nose, and walked further away from Kang-seol. There was a smell around Snowfall that gave me a feeling that if I breathed in that air it would be dangerous..
Wood clatter…
“Wow!!”
It sounded like Snowfall's bones were being put back together again..
[The body returns to its pure state.]
[The original blood is satisfied and expands its territory..]
And the moment I felt that things had stabilized to some extent, a second shock came..
Cooung…
“Wow….”
Whirring... Whirling…
A long shadow stretched behind the snowfall..
It was Karen, Karuna, and Jamad..
They each suffered from being connected to the snowfall and red lines..
“Oh my gosh….”
“Wow!!”
“Ahhhhh!”
[enlightenment! Awaken new abilities.]
[Continuation: Awakening blood ties.]
[All creatures in a blood kin have their life drain increased by 10% when they have another kin nearby. does not overlap.]
Gulp… Gulp…
The red line connecting the snowfall and the summoned animals gurgled and oozed blood..
[enlightenment! Awaken new abilities.]
[Continuation: Awakening the progenitor.]
[Forms a lineage. The body's recovery rate increases dramatically.]
[enlightenment! Awaken new abilities.]
[Continuation: Awakening to excellent lineage.]
[A being that inherits the blood of the progenitor has all abilities increased by 20%..]
Whirly lick!
The snowfall's summons returned to the shadows as soon as they inherited their bloodline abilities..
“Shut up….”
Snowfall with bloodshot eyes slowly fell to the ground..
[Primordial blood flows through the ability tree.]
[New abilities unlocked in the ability tree.]
“ha….”
Snowfall sighing shallowly.
After he got down to the floor, he wiggled his bare right arm. His arm moved properly as he intended, and there seemed to be no hindrance to his movement..
‘Amunde' sponsored Madness by 1,000.!
[Didn’t you use a prosthetic hand? I was expecting human softness.….]
- I had no arms, but I got them again.
- After washing the dishes, I got an arm that wasn't there before.?
- Come out, all-purpose gadget arm.!
- What kind of product is it so effective as soon as you drink it??
- For a moment I couldn't believe my eyes;;
- It's not a scam?
[The original blood falls asleep as if satisfied..]
[Achieve the special achievement ‘Sea of Blood’.]
[Obtain the special title “Progenitor”.]
“after….”
The original blood was an ability that could be developed..
Just as Finn tamed the original blood and created countless seasons, the current effect was not the end..
‘But I guess I'll be asleep for a while….’
Snowfall looked at the harvester’s lantern. Now that place was empty..
He looks alternately at the empty lamp and the empty medicine bottle..
‘If you didn't know that the original blood was there... Did you really choose the option of soul liberation??’
- And while living, if possible, sometimes do good deeds..
Now that Toki's words have stuck like a thorn in Kang Seol's heart, no one can know the outcome of something that didn't happen..
“under….”
The following are the titles obtained by overcoming this labyrinth..
[Special title: Godfather]
Related Achievements: Well, everything (Adventure: Sharing the Pain))
Special Ability: Mind Magic Resistance dice always have an additional value of 2.
[Special title: Progenitor]
Related Achievements: Bloodbath (Adventure: Sharing the Pain))
Special Ability: Bloodline development speed increases by 10%.
[Achievement Title: Ascetic]
Related Achievement: True Penance (Adventure: Sharing the Pain))
Special Abilities: The chance of the level of newly created abilities increasing seasonally increases significantly..
‘It's all a good effect.’
In this battle, I really felt how much influence the magic resistance dice had on the battle. As such, the extra dice value of 2 was definitely great..
‘The progenitor ability is... It's the lineage side..’
Since he drank the blood of the beginning, he seems to have received the related effects..
‘And the feat title.’
The feat title was the first title obtained as a shadow summoner..
Unlike the first title, this is a title that is received only by completing the relevant achievements, regardless of order. As expected, the effect was great.
‘Although the difficulty level of achievement was that much,….’
With this, Snowfall has been confirmed with its title..
Now there was only one step left to escape the labyrinth..
Clap.
A very small box was formed at the foot of the snowfall.
Something that looks exactly like a ring box.
sweet.
When Kang Seol opened it, there was a ring inside it..
[Check the Labyrinth's Gift.]
[Your level rises.]
[Your level rises.]
[Gain ability points.]
[Albuza's special ability activates..]
[Gain additional ability points.]
[Obtain the Ascetic's Seal (Reaper).]
[Amazing discovery! Discover a completely new type of artifact.]
[Your half-wisdom cannot understand this artifact..]
‘This is the entrance ticket to the labyrinth….’
There were many types of labyrinths all over the continent, not just labyrinths of asceticism..
To enter there for the first time, you needed a labyrinth token, which was an invitation, but the number was limited..
‘But all you need is this seal….’
As long as you have the seal you receive when you break through one labyrinth, you can enter any labyrinth without a certificate..
Of course, this seal was not simply used as a pass. Rather, it was often used with a different meaning..
‘The seal itself is powerful..’
The seal demonstrated special performance that ordinary equipment could not have..
[Mysterious: Ascetic's Seal (Reaper's Seal))]

‘It's exactly like what Finn got..’
- Ignore the Abomination Curse?
- Then you can just wear ugly things.?
- It's awesome ㄷㄷ
- It was spinning haha. Even if they tell me to put this in the equipment compartment, I have to put it on..
The ring was very thin and had a reaper's skull engraved on it..
Kang Seol thoughtlessly put this ring, which looked like a layered ring, on the finger that already had a ring on it. Then he turned to Park Chang-sik and tried to speak..
“Now turn around….”
“…….”
Kang Seol couldn’t finish his words..
This was because Park Chang-sik was looking at the ring in the ring box with empty eyes..
He shook his head and approached Kang Seol. and he told him.
“I don't deserve this.”
“yes? what is that….”
“I had to kill my companion in the labyrinth with my own hands... Couldn't save anyone.”
“Self-blame….”
“But you saved everyone.”
“…….”
Park Chang-sik’s eyes looked earnest..
Perhaps he made a decision after seeing the snowfall liberating the souls..
“Only you have brought the Labyrinth to its knees. … I was broken here. I probably don't plan on coming to a place like this for a while... You won't need any of these things. Please, use it for me..”
Seal of Wonder Grade.
How would he feel about handing over a treasure that only appears in labyrinths to someone else?.
Looking at his stiff expression, Kang Seol couldn’t say no..
“I will use it carefully.”
“thanks… thank you My colleagues would like this too.….”
A ring with the symbol of a demonic beast engraved on it.
When Kang Seol put the ring on her other finger, something strange happened..
Seueuugh…
Clap-!
Cherrrr…
Seal and seal were connected by a thin chain.
Snowfall immediately checked the condition..

Now it was time for Kang Seol and his party to go back after their long journey..
Pushuuuu…
They are surrounded by blue particles.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For…
And soon, it metastasized.
Jiiiiiiing-
The place they returned to was near base Audenin..
“Huh... Huh?….”
“Whoop….”
They were trapped in a labyrinth for a long time and breathed in humid air. When the fresh air they had longed for entered their lungs, their bodies reacted violently..
As they collapsed on the floor and laughed, a message appeared in their field of vision..
