Chapter 118
0.
Talk about a bolt from the blue.
This was exactly that kind of situation.
Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong, perhaps still not cald down despite shouting once already, tore at his hair and yelled again.
“Three? Three of them!!! No, even if it's compensation for an Almighty rank issue, isn't this just too much!?”
“S-Senior, please calm down……”
“How can I possibly calm down?!”
This wasn't sothing he could calm down about.
Furthermore, after arriving at the Hall of Knights, the 'Unknown Power' had already appeared twice.
And on top of that, three Legendary rank skill books?
‘This is truly horrifying……!’
It's just that he couldn't check his skill window in the Hall of Knights.
That didn't an he couldn't check the skill book item obtained as a reward.
After all, if you know the skill's na, you can activate it.
So if he used the na he saw when acquiring it from the skill book?
It ant he could figure out the skill's effect anyway.
Moreover, it was a similar concept to the box Seonghyun received during the recent event.
The only difference was that only skills could be obtained, perhaps?
It was the type where you could acquire a skill from a desired category.
However, it was untradeable, and any kind of skill could be learned.
aning, he could even learn swordsman or warrior-type skills.
“Aigoo! Why give it to him
now of all tisss!!!”
As long as he was currently in the Hall of Knights.
If he learned skills like that, he would gain truly imnse power.
Giving lee-type skills to the already powerful Seonghyun?
It was beyond horrifying.
Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong imagined it.
It was fortunate that, for now, he only had Helena's super strong swordsmanship.
What if he acquired skills that could supplent his swordsmanship skills, or offensive abilities?
Just imagining it made his stomach churn.
With the sudden stomach ache.
“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaahk!!!”
As Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong scread.
Associate Oh Jinhyeok gulped.
Knowing how serious the situation was.
Even the usually oblivious Associate Oh Jinhyeok couldn't say much.
He just said.
“S-Senior, still, didn't you say he can't even take the trials if he doesn't clear those special conditions??? W-Wouldn't it be okay? I think he might get bored quickly and leave……”
“Hoo, hoo, hoooo.”
Surprisingly, the casually offered consolation worked.
Lee Wonsong nodded, agreeing with Associate Oh Jinhyeok's words.
Co to think of it.
“How many days has the user Seonghyun been in there now?”
“Yes, yes? Ah! It's the 6th day now.”
“……That hasn't even been a week……”
“Yes……”
Realizing the fact he had forgotten, he might have had another surge of blood pressure.
But it was alright.
There were special conditions, weren't there?
Special conditions that wouldn't allow him to take the test unless he t them, no matter what he did.
Assistant Manager Lee Wonsang quickly cald down and muttered.
“Those special conditions are bound to be unbearable.”
“Oh? What kind of conditions are they?”
“You can only gain the qualification to take the test if you train for more than 5 hours every day for 5 days.”
It couldn't be a more vicious condition.
You had to train for more than 5 hours every day just to increase skill proficiency.
How many people who play gas to enjoy themselves would actually do that?
Seonghyun could be considered to have it as a job now, but still.
Could he really endure such tedious grinding?
“Well, today’s already gone, so if he starts tomorrow, he’d have to play almost as much as his total playti so far, so it would be tough.”
“Especially for promising players like him.”
“Ah!”
“He reached level 115 in the 6 days he’s been playing so far. Would he just stay cooped up here for five days?”
“That’s definitely true!”
Star players tend to get impatient even if they fall behind just a little.
Even if it’s just for a day.
But he would have to be stuck in there for a whole five days.
Without even leveling up, just increasing skill proficiency?
Wouldn't torture be better?
Having been running at lightning speed until now, that’s what Seonghyun would surely think.
‘At most, it’ll be three days.’
Wouldn’t he leave after three days?
Assistant Manager Lee Wonsang made that judgnt and chuckled to himself.
Associate Oh Jinhyeok looked at his senior and thought.
‘But couldn’t he just diligently train instead?’
He had that thought, but decided against stirring up trouble for no reason and let it pass.
He was already busy enough with working overti.
And so, the night at the E-World headquarters deepened.
1.
As he headed to the living room for dinner.
Seonghyun, feeling awkward, couldn't help but clear his throat.
“Ahem.”
“Hehe.”
“???”
“What’s wrong?”
When Seonghyun cleared his throat,
His mother, Lee Nakyeong, chuckled, and seeing that, Yoo Mina and his father, Yoo Gwangjin, looked at them both with puzzled expressions.
Wondering what was going on, they asked Seonghyun.
“Ah, it’s nothing.”
“How bland.”
“Alright, alright, everyone eat up~”
With his mother Lee Nakyeong’s diation, everyone’s attention turned back to the al.
During their pleasant al.
Now that the atmosphere had shifted a bit.
His older sister, Yoo Mina, smiled brightly and said.
“Mom, Dad. Seonghyun got first place again this ti.”
“Hmm.”
“Oh?! Is that really true?”
“Oh my? Again~?”
At Yoo Mina’s words, the whole family looked at Seonghyun, seemingly surprised.
Was it because he had experienced it before?
Seonghyun nodded as if it wasn’t a big deal.
Still, perhaps he was a little embarrassed, as he nodded cautiously.
His father, Yoo Gwangjin, and mother, Lee Nakyeong, looked at Seonghyun as if seeing him in a new light.
His older sister, Yoo Mina, had told them last ti, so they knew, but.
To win an award like this again.
“Heh, that ga is the most famous in the world, and my son got first place?”
“Yeah, well, it was an event that only happened in a certain level bracket, but it’s still pretty amazing.”
“Hehehe! It seems Mina and Seonghyun both have a knack for this.”
“Oh my? Didn’t you say we needed to see more when I told you last ti~?”
“Ahem, well, that’s not wrong. Anyway, Seonghyun, well done.”
“That’s right~ Our son getting first place again is really sothing~”
“Hmph, it’s nothing.”
Unable to endure his parents' sudden praise any longer, Seonghyun, his face flushed with embarrassnt, tried to brush it off.
Yoo Mina grinned and said.
“Then let’s go out for a congratulatory party!”
“No, what congratulatory party!”
He retorted towards Yoo Mina, who was acting as if she couldn't stand not teasing her younger brother.
But the atmosphere felt unusual.
His parents were nodding, making sounds of agreent like "Oho?" and "Ohora!" at his sister's words.
Seonghyun looked at the two of them with trembling eyes, as if saying, "Right?"
Yoo Mina smirked.
And then.
“Mina’s right this ti.”
“Ah, Father?!”
“Oh my? If not now, when else would we have a party for you, Seonghyun~”
“Uh, Mom?!”
“Hehehe, just as planned.”
As his sister laughed like that.
Seonghyun lowered his head powerlessly, as if he had no choice.
He also didn't have a good reason to stop his whole family from celebrating his achievent.
However, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
His face turned red.
But no one in his family seed to mind.
“Hehehe, shall we eat out tomorrow then?”
“Good. I’ll finish work early and co ho tomorrow.”
“Hehe, I don’t have any plans either, so I can finish early.”
“Hehe, then let’s plan on going out for dinner tomorrow~”
“……Haa.”
He was always indifferent and didn't express his emotions, so.
His family never missed such opportunities.
Seonghyun shook his head in resignation.
It seed the congratulatory party tomorrow was unavoidable.
Well, still.
‘It’s nice, though.’
The fact that his family was having such a harmonious conversation made Seonghyun quite, no, very satisfied, and a faint smile spread across his face.
2.
The next day.
Seonghyun, having slept soundly, got up and imdiately ate the hearty breakfast that his mother, Lee Nakyeong, had prepared.
“Everyone, don’t forget about dinner tonight~”
“Oh, Mom. Who would forget?”
“Ahem, that’s right.”
“Ha, haha.”
“Mina and Seonghyun, both of you take care of your health while you’re at it.”
“Yeah, I heard there are health issues among gars these days~”
Everyone seed to have slept well, as their condition looked excellent.
Seeing them like this from the morning.
His father, Yoo Gwangjin, had gone to work, and his mother, Lee Nakyeong, was doing the remaining housework.
And his older sister, Yoo Mina, went straight into her room.
Seonghyun also finished his bustling breakfast and imdiately went to his room, standing in front of the capsule.
Then, a strange thought suddenly occurred to him.
‘Is this right?’
Usually, if a son and daughter were about to go into a capsule to play gas, nagging like, "When are you two going to get jobs?!" would be expected.
But instead.
They were telling him to take care of his health while doing it.
It was an unimaginable sight in the past.
But now, it was a familiar scene.
It felt awkward to the sowhat old-fashioned Seonghyun.
‘Sothing still feels off.’
Well, it was his job now anyway.
Seonghyun thought so and imdiately logged into Eternal World.
[Welco to Eternal World, another world, the eternal world.]
[May good fortune be with player 『Seonghyun』.]
As he logged in, seeing the ssage that felt like it had been a while.
More ssages cluttered Seonghyun's vision.
What was going on as soon as he logged in?
[We apologize for delivering this ssage to user 『Seonghyun』.]
“Huh?”
The first sentence was a familiar one from sowhere.
Could it be?
Seonghyun imdiately read the rest of the ssages.
[The effect of the Overlord-exclusive Almighty rank skill, 『Transcendent Death』, has been adjusted.]
[Originally, skills that could be additionally summoned by the Legendary rank skill 『Add More』 were limited to Legendary rank. However, an exception was made this ti for the Anemor of Thunder and the Anemor of Lightning.]
[We would like to inform you that the Overlord-exclusive Almighty rank skill 『Transcendent Death』 will no longer be applied by the Legendary rank skill 『Add More』 in the future.]
[To express our apologies for this, a letter along with compensation has been sent to your inventory.]
[We apologize once again.]
“Hmm.”
He had expected it to be blocked.
But to be blocked this quickly.
Was it to be expected?
The Anemor and Karisha were indeed overpowered.
Since it was to be expected, he wasn't even disappointed.
He was just curious about what the compensation would be.
‘This is actually good?’
As Seonghyun thought that and took out the skill books from his inventory.
The elven knight ghosts, realizing Seonghyun had arrived, began to gather from all directions.
-Hey! The honored guest has arrived!
-Ooh! Honored guest! Are you feeling alright?
-Ooh! Looking at you, you seem perfectly fine?
They all made a fuss and approached Seonghyun.
But Seonghyun didn't think much of it.
When hadn't the ghosts made a fuss?
It was a fuss he had heard his whole life.
He ignored it appropriately and moved on.
Right now, seeing what the compensation was was more important.
As he opened it.
『Random Skill Book』×3
→《Legendary》
→A box from which you can randomly obtain a skill of your desired category.
→All items obtainable from this skill book are of Legendary rank.
→With this skill book, you can also learn skills from categories that are not your current job.
→However, this skill book cannot be traded.
“Oh?!”
They were giving him a whopping three Legendary rank skill books as compensation?
Was it because they blocked the Almighty rank skill?
To be this generous.
It was a good thing for Seonghyun.
Anyway, with this.
‘I was going to start with swordsmanship training……’
How could he just leave the skill books unopened?
He might not be able to see the effects by opening the skill window.
‘But the na will appear once I acquire them.’
Wouldn't he be able to roughly use them?
With that thought, Seonghyun naturally selected close-combat job skills and used all three skill books.
Let's see what cos out, he thought with anticipation.
