31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 28)
The lost summoner adventure came to mind..
adventure. 'The disappeared summoner’
Harbinger of Darkness, Kongori's black magic job training center. There are many talented teachers here. However, unfortunately, the Shadow Summoner who will be your teacher has not been heard from since he went to Novira some time ago..
If you continue like this, you may miss the most important part of the beginner course. You decided to go to Nobira yourself and find traces of your teacher..
Objective: Find traces of Shadowcaller Chao in Novira..
Current remaining time 「None」」
‘There doesn't seem to be any harm in waking up early as a side quest..’
The next adventure has not been decided yet, so heading to Nobira, including this adventure, would not be a bad choice..
Kang Seol then told the manager that he would strengthen his abilities..
“All right. Please follow me.”
The same process as last time continued, and Kang Seol was left alone in the dark room..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
A tree-shaped ability window, also called a skill tree, came to mind..
‘The current ability score is 4 points. Then the answer is fixed.’
Of course, we had to strengthen the main function, Shadow Summoning..
[Strengthens shadow summoning.]
[Uses 4 ability points.]
[Now, when you successfully summon a shadow, the summoned beast's succession is carried out more smoothly than before..]
[You can now summon two shadow minions at the same time. However, there are cases where simultaneous summons are not possible..]
[Now, when successfully summoning a shadow, the summoned creature's stats are preserved by at least 50%..]
[Shadow summoning has reached a certain level. All your pets' abilities will be transmitted by 10%..]
A message popped up saying that one of my abilities had been strengthened. There were two most hopeful messages:.
First, simultaneous summons.
‘You can now summon Karuna and Jamard at the same time.’
Second, ability transmission is carried out by an additional 10%..
In other words, 50% of the original ability can be used by default, and the titles, equipment, and other additional abilities of these summons will guarantee an efficiency of at least 60%, or even 70%..
Kang Seol didn't know much about the level of other transferees, but at this level, he could be considered a one-man army..
Karuna was not a boss to be defeated through battle in the first place, and Jamard was a boss to be defeated by weakening it using a special gimmick in a five-person party..
Therefore, they were much more powerful boss monsters than regular bosses, and their current abilities will show a huge difference from the abilities of regular transferees..
Suddenly, I remembered what one person said in anger..
- why! why! So strong... They say adventurer points don't fully represent the gap in power! The score is twice that of 2nd place... Then 10 times... No, it's dozens of times stronger.….
The thought of one or more people following each other created a slight wrinkle between his eyebrows..
* * *
After stopping by a few more places, Snowfall returned to her accommodation..
I had quite a bit of wealth piled up, but I didn't use it carelessly because I had a specific use in mind..
He settled the situation before the adventure ahead..
‘Starting now is important, the route of movement is important..’
Adventures in the Eternal World are largely dependent on where the adventurer is currently located..
For example, if it takes place in a quiet mountainous area where nothing happens, there is nothing special about it..
If you stayed in a place like that for months and years, your life would be spared, but it would be difficult to become stronger..
In other words, it is different from a typical RPG in which suitable adventures are automatically provided as time passes..
In order to become stronger, you had to move your base periodically and enter the eye of the storm where many things were happening around you..
‘Is it time for Kongori to leave?.’
I got most of what I could from this place. Now, only adventures with low efficiency and low reward value remained in Kongori..
In order to become stronger, I had to get out of here sooner or later..
However, one thing to worry about is that if you leave the starting point, the dice cycle begins in earnest..
The roll of the dice refers to the roll of the dice when a player leaves an area, and this is common in most areas..
Just as when you go on a trip and you don't check the weather forecast there, you'll be in big trouble, the same goes for the dice..
For example, right after the snowfall crosses to Novira, the dice will be rolled, and if a low number is rolled, there will be a penalty. On the other hand, if you get a high number, you will meet unexpected luck in your adventure..
‘Still, the risk is much greater..’
If a low number of dice were rolled, the adventure was automatically selected and the difficulty level was unusual..
So, taking this into consideration, players prepare sufficiently and move to the area. Always keep the worst in mind.
‘The preparations are over. became strong enough.’
The snowfall has already become so strong that other regions of Kongori cannot handle it..
The only catch was the presence of predators..
The information about the Predator Guild obtained from the Information Guild was quite ominous. Although he wasn't showing much movement right now, after he gained strength, even Kang Seol could be targeted..
Whatever the circumstances, it's obvious that he's suspected of murdering four guild members..
And Snow Seol wasn't the type of person to leave her worries behind..
‘Finishing the predator side and leaving here now..’
now he will leave.
* * *
During the few days that the snowfall briefly stayed in Kongori, transferees continued to arrive at Kongori after their adventures..
“Oh my….”
second floor of the bar.
All the men dressed in quite luxurious clothes were drinking with tobacco in their mouths..
It is said that each person's impression is different, but these people had such grim faces that their luxurious clothes lost their meaning..
“So, it's all gone?”
“Seo Jin-cheol, Baek Sang-gyu, everything.?”
“It didn't come back. He was even pronounced dead..”
“under! All useful babies are short-lived. Still, they were tough kids..”
If you knew how Seo Jin-cheol and Baek Sang-gyu died, this story would be easy to understand, but anyway, they only remembered their vicious appearances..
The tough-looking guys were a predator guild..
These people were some of the quickest to adapt to the changing world. Of course, the direction was somewhat negative, but.
The eyes of the predator guild members turned to one place..
One guild member asked the man sitting at the head of the table..
“What should I do??”
“It was about work, right? Those guys.”
“yes. That's why you took two more with you, right??”
“It's getting annoying. At an important time... . What is your name??”
“Snowman… It was said. When I checked, it had already returned..”
“hmm… why did he die?”
“who? You mean Baek Sang-gyu and Seo Jin-cheol??”
“Yeah, I'm not one of those guys who goes anywhere and gets beaten up..”
“If anything, I would have killed him. They're such shark bastards..”
The nickname of the Predator Guild Master was Great White Shark..
It was a nickname befitting the fearsome appearance and master of the predator guild..
“yes? Then what do you think about the fact that those friends died instead of the person who went to do the work? Did those bastards sacrifice themselves for him??”
“Not at all.”
“Then, I guess he killed it.?”
“Yes, it looks like the Snowman noticed the work and killed it. But I don't know how.”
“When I heard it, I was told that it looked like a monk... What kind of force came out to send four family members away??”
“Isn't it probably a trap using information??”
“Makes sense.”
“Common sense tells us that immersing four people is not an easy task. It's not like I was even aware of the attack..”
The great white shark's mouth was torn apart..
A disgusting scar crossed his lips..
Words like a snake's whisper came out through the gap..
“For now, I'm keeping an eye on it. There is plenty of time anyway. As long as he doesn't get off the hook..”
“It would be enough to get a few kids to soak it.?”
“You bastard. In everything, precedence is important. Even if killing is a foregone conclusion, how to kill is important. We've decided to move with justice now, so if we kill someone on sight, we'll have a problem..”
“Oh, that's right. But, is this what we are doing right by sticking with justice? Because the behavior of those bastards does not give any trust..”
“Will they believe us??”
“That's not the case again….”
“We're just drinking sweet water from each other and pretending not to know each other..”
Seup-
Whoa whoa…
The great white shark's tobacco has turned black..
He suddenly thought of something funny and chuckled with an evil smile on his face..
“Should I tell you something fun??”
“What is it?”
“If it weren't for that snowman or something, all of our guild members would have come back alive from this adventure..”
“Isn’t it obvious??”
“No, you bastard. Have you seen any other guilds? Everyone died from embarrassment during this adventure. There are places where half are dead..”
“Is that true?”
“Yeah, that's the way the world is now. But we're the only ones who haven't suffered much damage. Why? Because you’re strong? Then why are we the only ones who are strong??”
“that… I'm not sure.”
The great white shark bared its teeth and spewed smoke..
Shining gold teeth revealed his ugly side.
“Because you're strong. Because humans themselves are strong. Hitting someone, killing someone, betraying someone. You have no qualms about these things, right? Other people absolutely hate those things..”
“Is it good??”
“Phew… It's good. Now, look. We will start our business from this Kongori. You know how ugly Jeong Won-cheol, who runs the justice guild with his foul language, is.?”
“I know.”
“Jeong Won-cheol reached out to us because he had no power to control the internal affairs. Because we are strong.”
“It's probably because of my brother who is ranked 2nd..”
“anyway. He brought in a tiger to control the sheep and wolf cubs. How dare the wolf….”
“What are you planning to do??”
“Pretend to help Jeong Won-cheol and swallow up Jeong’s guild whole. And after gradually swallowing up other guilds, we turn to the human business..”
It was the first time they had heard of the details, so the ears of the guild members turned to him..
“I know why we were at rock bottom before?”
“I'm not sure.”
“Because there is a law. Because there is a law.”
“yes?”
“Look at this beautiful world now. Even if you stab someone to death on the street, you won't get caught. Between transferees, I mean..”
“ah!”
“The law disappeared and violence took its place. In the end, whoever understands this violence best will stand on top..”
“That's my brother.?”
“yes.”
After finishing speaking, the great white shark pondered for a moment as if the guild member's last words were offensive and then spoke..
“No, there's one more guy..”
“Well, isn’t there one more person that’s private??”
“Yes, that guy also earned a ton of points. He must be up to something. I need to find that bastard..”
“Find it? I'll kill you?”
“If you follow what I say, I'll give you a reward, or I'll kill you..”
“I'll have the kids search for it as best as I can..”
“Don’t just say it, man. From now on, what we do is the same as management. The idea is to increase the number of people in an octopus manner and sell them to appropriate places..”
“This plan came from the Justice Guild first.?”
“The suggestion was made there. Jeong Won-cheol's bag strap is short, but his hair is usable. Let's not kill him if possible..”
It was then.
A man burst through the bar door..
“older brother! older brother! where are you?”
“Brother, you’re here, you bastard..”
“You were there. Jeong Won-cheol… No, that bastard is looking for his brother..”
“why? me?”
“I heard you have something you need your help with. Some crazy bastard came into the Justice Guild all by himself to find her brother..”
“alone?”
it was strange.
No matter how low the level is, struggling with just one person.
“It seems he's stronger than I thought. They tried to suppress it by force, but there were injured people, so it's in a lull now..”
“You're asking me to cut off an arm or kill you as an example. plaguy… No, you fought alone? No way, this guy is private?”
“Maybe so..”
“I need to prepare in advance. If you don't think so, you should take his side..”
At the same time, similar information was delivered to Kang Seol, who was preparing for the journey..
