31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 182)
[The eyes and ears of the city's influential people spread out in all directions..]
[People going through difficulties are looking for a powerful adventurer who can help them resolve their injustice..]
……
Messages like these came to Kang Seol’s vision..
As adventure points accumulated, things like this seemed to happen more often..
‘If his identity is revealed, troublesome things will continue to happen..’
It's the natural order of the world that if someone makes a lot of money, people flock to them from all directions and ask to lend them some money..
It's probably a truckload of people taking on risky and unrewarding adventures..
“uh? Huh? I just saw it?”
“message?”
“Uh, this is my first time seeing this message. What is it?….”
“I know?”
The snowfall passed by the transferencers rustling along the main street..
‘I guess it's not only displayed to me... Is this a sign that appears to everyone in the city??’
Even if that were the case, there would be no way for the immigrants and natives living in the city to specifically recognize him, so as long as he was careful, he would be able to pass by quietly..
Among the messages that kept coming up, Kang Seol checked the title-related information, which was the message that caught Kang Seol's attention first..
[First title: I am a bastard]
Related Achievements: The One Who Flies Above The One Who Runs (Adventure: None)
Special Ability: Additional ability points are acquired as a reward for adventure. At this time, the additional ability points obtained are 1 point at high probability and 2 points at low probability..
- oh… Playing around with ability scores again!
- A powerhouse of tradition! ability score!
- To be honest, the other titles are the same, but touching this ability score seems like a scam.;;
100The title of Albuza that I got when I reached 10,000 points also had this same ability..
Since I entered the 10 million mark in the same category, it wasn't strange to receive similar abilities..
However, the efficiency was quite different from before..
‘A low probability of 2 points per adventure? That means... Does this mean that in case of a linked adventure, you can receive up to 4 additional ability points??’
A title that allows you to acquire an additional ability score twice as much as the basic ability score..
Considering that ability points are a representative indicator that can strengthen transference along with ability points, the efficiency of the newly acquired title was enormous..
‘This is why we need to get ahead..’
The world of eternity that he was caught up in was a dime apocalypse when the element of transference was added..
It is arranged so that the winner gets more and the person in front can run faster..
Fortunately, Snowfall was at the very front of the leading group. If we can now accelerate our ability score acquisition, we will be able to maintain that lead in the future..
‘then… I have to stop by the association first..’
The association's community was a place where information gathered, a place where raw information circulated all the time..
* * *
Kang Seol arrived at the association and looked at the atmosphere..
Everyone seemed very excited about something..
‘what?’
In the case of the association's community, devices that were usually fixed in place were used, but in slightly developed cities, there were cases where terminals that could be used while moving around the association were used rather than in a fixed location..
In the case of the Timbrians, it was the latter..
Thanks to this, the community was very active..

[Title: Let's think logically.]
1000If you have 10,000 points, you can destroy the adventure alone? does not exist?
- impossible. Is the score algebraic??
- It's algebra.
- That's right! Then it is possible!
- How did they accumulate 10 million points so quickly? Are you going on a lot of large-scale adventures??
- Even on large-scale adventures, points are clearly distributed according to the number of people involved. From there, they are further divided according to contribution. If you take off the car and the gun, what's left is... well? Should I say it’s like my after-tax salary??
- That's a trick.
- trick?
- Taking away a large number of Pandean natives and drastically reducing the number of transferees. Actually, that much.
- okay? But that's also risky lol These days, residents even covet transfer interest compensation..
- ㄹㅇ There are people who push you into a contract, and there are also cases where you get stabbed at the last minute..
- Haha, is this Gotham City? It's so scary…
- Anyway, I can't see a corner where 10 million dots would appear.…

[Title: Unraveling the story.]
My acquaintance belongs to Libra..
Express information has just arrived..
Did you know that the Libra Tower recently brought in mercenaries? I also remember that at that time, the mercenary group that included former soldiers was rejected on the grounds that it was difficult to keep secrets.?
At that time, what they were trying to do by gathering together a group of mercenaries was a major adventure..
- Oh fuck, release me more.
- please!
- At that time, a large expedition team was formed, and there was only one person..
- Wow, you dominate the adventure points! Then you understand!
- What is this, abuse!? Abusing is not acceptable!
- I went there and woke up, but the expedition team came back almost completely blown up. Seems like abuse?
- Haha, it was a fair adventure..
- But there was even an Aspect there, and it was rumored that Jeon carried it. Maybe that person with 10 million points is the same person? I think it's perfect timing-wise..
- My trust level plummeted just because of that story lol.
- I heard there was even an Aspect, but the transferor was Carrie? lol
- Believe it or not.
‘My information is spreading faster than I thought..’
Fortunately, Kang Seol was grateful to the other transferees who did not believe his rumors..
If his information were leaked unintentionally, it could cause inconvenience to move..

[Title: I heard the same story, so it seems to be true.]
There are also rumors that he is the former and disciple of that aspect..
- Haha then you must be a wizard? Isn't there some magic that shoots beams? Our party wizard always sits with a lighter in his hand.
- Beam magic is possible, but the efficiency is a gutter. It consumes a lot of magic power, but the destructive power is also a question mark, and the control is also a question mark..
- If it is true that he is a disciple of the Holy Spirit, isn't he the most successful among us? is not it? Because there are people who entered the royal castle.;;
- Oh, that person haha, are you talking about Nevenia? A person who joined as a former and representative.
- huh. But I never elected that person as representative.?
- Me too, I never asked you to represent me.?
- Who elected the representative??
- It's just blindfolding haha. Is this Nevenia's rotten political situation once or twice? They're just talking about harmony and communication, but they're openly harming us behind our backs.
- I want to explode soon. I have to leave Nevenia quickly... It seems like the areas near the border and the outskirts are already uniting together to protest..
- Still, the princess is nice! That little prince and the old king are such a nuisance ㅡㅡ
- after… If you catch me, I'll finish you off in one hit..
- Royal Castle Guard Knight Lv. 52: What?
- Please finish it in one shot…
(New)['Global Era''s post]
[Posted date: just now]
[Title: Ten million points, civil war, nabal…]
You all know that we are in a global era right now, right? Foreigners pouring in from across the border?
- Oh, I saw a lot of foreigners..
- It's funnier when words communicate... Korean is the official language?
- To be exact, it is the official language of Pandea; When you come into contact with a foreigner, a language tab will appear, and if you look there, it will say that it is the official language of Pandea.
- They think we're speaking Korean..
Since the above and other information were all fragments of unreliable information, Kangseol lost interest on the bulletin board..
‘I need to get out of Nevenia quickly..’
If we got caught up in a civil war for no reason, there was a risk that we would not grow as well as we could and would experience hardships like hardships..
And another problem.
‘I guess I'll soon meet foreigners too..’
I thought there were many foreigners who had fallen to other regions due to snowfall. It was strange that it only spread to Korea..
However, this is half right and half wrong..
Currently, Pandea's transfer and survival rate is not that high..
There were areas where natives and settlers targeted each other and fought to the death, and there were many settlers who ended up in areas with underdeveloped civilization..
In addition, there were many areas with abnormally high adventure difficulty..
As a result, the number of transferees currently alive on Pandea has decreased by much less than 1/20 of the number initially transferred..
Thanks to Nevenia's large territory and moderate adventure difficulty, Korea was able to leave behind quite a few survivors..
Anyway, since Snowfall mostly adventured alone anyway, I decided that it wasn't a problem that had much to do with me, so I turned on other community functions..
As expected, there was a letter from Han So-mi and Kyung-taek Cho..
[A letter from my friend ‘I’m the only cat’]
[Created date: 10 days ago]
[Title: Brother, when you come back, can we meet and talk??]
I had to ask my brother for his opinion.….
‘…what?’
Kang Seol read Kyung Taek’s letter all the way through..
- I lost contact with people I used to hang out with often. At that time, he was the same person who saved me from Ilia. Where there is doubt... She is the daughter of a Timbrian nobleman who entrusted the request to us at that time. I once received an invitation from the Gatif family as a token of gratitude for completing the request. I couldn't go because I had something else to do... I think my acquaintances visited Gatif Street several more times after that day. And after a while, everyone's whereabouts became as vague as smoke..
‘hmm… It's suspicious..’
Kang Seol read his next letter..
[A letter from my friend ‘I’m the only cat’]
[Created date: 1 day ago]
[Title: Brother, I’m sorry. I don't think I can wait.]
I was worried that if I kept stamping my feet like this, something would happen to my colleagues... If anything is resolved, I will contact you separately.!
“…this.”
There was no further contact from Gyeong-taek Kyung-taek..
Kang Seol took a moment to notice Han So-mi's recent contact..
[A letter from my friend ‘All college students die’]
[Created date: 1 day ago]
[Title: Oppa, if you stop by Timbrian, please give me some news from Gyeongtaek.….]
Sigh…
There is no time.
With minimal safety measures, Kang Seol left a letter to someone in an express and then left..
* * *
“what?”
“Yesterday, I asked if a man with this kind of facial expression had ever visited here..”
“you you… I know where this is and I set it up like this.?”
The gatekeeper of the Gatif family tried to protest as if he were a member of the Gatif family..
- Damn the stage hahaha
- This is the snowman style interrogation method..
- Undercover work! Hiding the enemy.
- You must be so urgent.~
- But actually, from the snowman’s perspective, it’s the quickest and easiest way to do it..
- why?
- If you ask and say you didn't see it, you're being rude, so just slaughter them all, and if you say you did, just ask where they went..
- Gyeongtaek could get stabbed while investigating the surroundings..
- If your body is good, your head won't suffer. Don't you know? If it's a snowman, you can push it here like a bulldozer.;
“I heard that this friend is acquainted with the Lady of the Gatif family. Yesterday, I said I would visit here..”
“well… But I don't know why I should tell you that?”
“…….”
“Dare to come to the mansion of the Gatif family, which is like a pillar of the Timbrians.….”
Snowfall stared into the eyes of the arrogant gatekeeper..
“what… what are you doing….”
“you'll have to say.”
“This kid... you….”
At that time, a woman who appeared to be the daughter of the Gatif family that Cho Kyung-taek had mentioned appeared in the mansion..
“Stop it, Lord Joraj..”
“Three, Seris. But this person….”
“I'll take care of it. Excuse me, but... Are you using the name Snowman??”
The energy of snowfall has become cooler.
It wasn't a show of force, but the fact that this woman named Seris knew his information was ominous..
“do you know me?”
“I heard it from a person called my brother-in-law. She always made it a habit to brag about herself. But… I never thought I'd see you like this.”
This will be Gyeongtaek’s story..
Because he was always proud of being an acquaintance of Kang Seol..
“I came because of that brother-in-law..”
“You can't just stop a customer outside and talk to them. Lord Joraj, please clear the way..”
“her… haha….”
“…hurry.”
“Yes, yes! All right.”
The gatekeeper named Joraj reluctantly opened the door for Kang Seol..
“I was just enjoying refreshments. The snacks were made by the girl herself, so please try them and hear what you think..”
“…All right.”
If it weren't for the woman's leisurely behavior and Kang Seol-do's affair with Gyeong-taek, the tension would have eased a bit..
Jeopuk…
Jeopuk…
The interior of the mansion was ordinary..
There is no other way to describe this place other than that it is really well cleaned..
However, Snowfall sensed something here..
The air inside the mansion was too heavy..
It wasn't just snowfall that felt strange..
- found!
Ur smiled sinisterly in the shadow space..
- I never thought I would find this amount of shadow essence all at once... There are shadows enshrined somewhere here. The wolf who thought so terribly of you will soon be able to see you again..
Ur said.
- take the shadow of this place.
Snowfall gently nodded and looked around the inside of the mansion..
“Since the visit was so sudden, please do not feel sorry for the girl's poor treatment..”
“Could that be possible? rather than that….”
“yes?”
Sooooo…
Snowfall took a deep breath of air..
To be precise, I deeply inhaled the scent that had been wafting from here earlier..
‘No, it's not the mansion, it's the smell coming from this woman. this smell….’
Kang Seol took out a slightly crumpled letter from her arms. And then I inhaled the scent left on the letter..
‘Yes, it smells the same..’
The content written on the letter has already been in my head for a long time. The owner of this letter was Malachus, the shadow hunter who fell to Snowfall when she first awakened to the seasons..
At that time, a letter was found on his body that seemed to have a story behind it..
- Hello, I am Malachus. I am blind. I hope that those who read this letter will be generous and understanding even if the writing is sloppy. I am from a small noble family of Timbrian.…
‘Come to think of it… Malachus also said he was from Timbrian..’
- Black rose tattoo on the back of the hand. Neutral voice and not very tall. The smell of medicine coming from the body. I remember them all. I left that person’s scent in the letter..
A message appeared to Kang Seol, who realized that Seris Gatif was involved in the tragic story that happened to Malachus..
[Additional information about the hidden adventure 'Stockholm Syndrome' has been obtained..]
[If the conditions are met, an unexpected adventure will occur..]
‘…There is something here.’
Cerise Gatif asked as she sat down on the sofa in the reception room..
“Why are you doing that??”
Kang Seol smiled and said.
“it's nothing.”
Slurp…
From his shadow, invisible crows scattered throughout the mansion..
