If this was a game, plague. I'm just as fucked up as I am.

An anonymous player posted a long article on the community site titled….

Think about it. You started a new MMORPG game. You've created a character. There's a status window. But don't you have to wash your eyes and look for Level and EXP UI?

For reference, the article received an overwhelming number of views and recommendations in just five hours and was listed on the "HIT" bulletin board.

What does this mean?

There are skills, there are items, and there are only 2 monsters to hunt. I don't have EXP and level. Then you'll ask. No, so what do you want me to do with character nurturing? You didn't put out an unfinished game, did you?

It means I bought the empathy of so many beneficiaries.

But I knew it was a system like this. To grow your character, hunt monsters or scour fields to increase stats with routed items. Or begging for patronage in front of your sacred seat. Otherwise, when you make a character in the first place, roll the dice well and cut the start with a stat baker.

The last paragraph of the article truly represented the affection of the many players who live today.

This is how the escape game works, isn't it? But this godforsaken moron system has been applied to the reality of our lives? So the reality is that with the completion of the perfect trilateral argument called the X grid, we can start earning money by hiring ordinary dirtbags like start-state bastards.

In today's times of great turbulence, people often summarize it as a 'game-changing world'. But it is not a completed sentence.

You have to put 'garbage' in front of it to be a complete line summary.

'The world has changed like a garbage game.'

It must be that kind of world...

[You have successfully completed '2nd Awakening'!]

[Create 'Level' and 'EXP' items in the status window!]

"Oh, Mother..."

How shocking, a strange tone popped out of my mouth.

Am I looking at nothing right now? Mysterious, I looked at the heavy state window.

"Oh my God…."

This is real.

It wasn't for nothing.

Are you sure you want to add 'Level' and 'EXP' items to your Stats?

'I was only thinking about tripling all stats….'

Why would you think that?

At the time of the 1st time, Omin Joon, who was the first beneficiary of the 'nurturing' skill, did so.

So I thought I would get the same effect as Omin Joon...

"Did each person have a different effect? '

Situations that I have to think of as such.

Suddenly a lot of things happened and it's hard to keep up with the accident..

One of these is certain.

'I'm more profitable than Omin Joon!'

Three-fold increase in stats?

Of course, it's good. It's hard to get three times more stats from head to toe when you're running with S-grade items.

But that's just it.

There is nothing more.

But who am I?

'Having EXP and level means sustained and stable growth.'

There are no limits.

All I need to do is collect EXP and level up, and I can grow constantly!

Sponsorship of the Holy City, special items hidden in the field, presence of natural talents…. You don't have to hang on to these things. Hunting monsters will increase stats!

In a word, this...

"... crazy."

No, it's not.

Excitement is forbidden. How many uncertain elements are there?

For example, how much experience do you give when hunting monsters, or how much stats can you raise each time you level up, like….

'I don't know until I go into the dungeon and hunt it myself.'

So it's still too early to pop the champagne, huh?

It's too early...

Hahahaha.

A smile does not leave my mouth.

Good things are happening to me now. I heard that feeling very strongly.

"Tongue, brother... Are you okay…?"

At that time, Yooseong started to step back, shaking his voice.

Ah. Suddenly, I smiled in the air, so it seemed honest. Well, it's true I feel good enough to be honest.

Instead, I add a terrific excuse that I'm not crazy.

Warak!

"Brother...?!"

Yooseong Water... No, I grabbed Holy Water. You're the silver man who cut my flower path from today on, man.

"It's just you, Holy Water."

"Tongue, brother. You're not really crazy..?!"

[Sanctuary, SeongHyun-sook says goodbye to her imaginary grandson.]

.. I really need to meet a woman soon so my mom will stop sending those messages, right?

* * *

"You can make other players strong."

The disgusting skinny finish moderately, and we enter the restaurant.

And around the time the atmosphere was ripe, I came up with a full story.

"You know, players have a very limited way to grow. So there are a lot of cases that don't go any further and only stagnate in the same section."

"Then my 'nurturing' skill is…."

"Right. In this age, gold is more valuable than treasure."

How much is it worth?

"Depending on how you compare your abilities, it's not a big deal to have an S card in your sights, is it?"

"I mean, I'm a class S...?"

Yooseong water murmured with a stubborn face.

I have to. Grade D is a skill that only Grade E can be used for.

Beyond the surprises, I will not believe it. But you can trust me enough.

'Cause I actually did.'

Targets with meteor water cultivation skills will receive one of three effects:

1) 90% chance to increase stats by 30%

2) 5% chance to proceed with a second awakening quest

3) 0.5% chance of instantaneous secondary awakening

However, for the first time a skill like me has been applied, there is a 100% chance that it will benefit 3 times.

After this ability is revealed over the years, Yooseong water is awarded an S rating and comes to mind as a star.

'Of course, the love call of the Giant Major Guilds came through.'

Even guilds abroad were involved in the recruitment war.

However….

'I wasn't the only one struggling.'

Kidnapping, blackmail, etc., on a fictional day.

Because of the hyenas who are trying to suck honey with their nurturing skills, the holy water won't stop drinking.

'I can't let you do that.'

He's the one I've always wanted to keep on my side.

"So, holy water."

I trimmed my voice and spoke.

"Aren't you going to join my team?"

"The team…? If it's a team, are you talking about your guild?"

"Black Lion? What.... That's not wrong either, but to be more precise, it's a team. Not the guild."

"Brother, you were the team leader in the guild...?"

"No, we're a small guild, so we don't have a team concept yet. I'll make it soon."

Creating your own team. It's a plan I've been thinking about for a long time.

Two years from now.

Earth is linked to 'Pandemonium'.

'There was no nightmare.'

Giant iron doors that suddenly appeared in windows all over the world.

They were the doors that served as a passageway to the 'hell' of a realm called 'Pandemonium'.

And through that door comes a group called 'Bohemian Legion'..

Well, it's easy to say that the whole world is a mess.

The Apocalypse era began to offer more than destruction.

'Even if I hadn't died in the fog of poison, I would have died soon anyway.'

It was a world where I couldn't even fly an S-class Mac. I was a class F at the time, and I had no other life.

'If I'm going to be ready in two years' time, it's going to be hard for me alone. '

So I intend to set up a team.

Only by gathering talent that will help me.

There are also a few candidates I have in mind.

One of them is the Holy Water right in front of me.

After the commemoration, I opened my mouth.

"I don't want to reveal your abilities in the future. One way or another, the people who are trying to use you will stick together."

"Well, that's... that's right..."

"But it's crazy to rot your abilities. So you're going to work with me in the future."

I looked at the meteor water with serious eyes.

"I'll help you get your abilities to the loading site."

"……."

The Holy Water bowed his head and was silent.

I don't think it's a question of answering right now.

I added a few words to get him to mind as much as possible.

"Don't worry about revenue issues. I'm pretty dressed up in the guild. Holy water, in regards to your ransom, I will do whatever it takes."

"... Oh, no! I want to go in!"

"Huh?"

What? Why is the answer so fast?

The answer I knew was Yooseong water. Why are you so cool?

By the way, why is your complexion so dark when you say you want to come in?

"... I want to go in. If I could be with my brother, I would like to make some money.. You're the man who saved my mother's life. But my brother told me this first... I'm glad, really."

"You don't seem very happy with your face...."

"Well, that's... Actually, it's vague whether or not I can get permission from my mother.."

Ah. Now I understand why his complexion was so dark.

I owe you friction for something similar to the president of the association, so I know that very well.

"I woke up a month before my mother fell...? You were so sensitive at the time..."

"It's a job to dive barefoot in limb after limb, so..."

"He told me he couldn't lose even one son after my father..."

[It is not a good parental attitude to violate children's autonomy, so 'Hyun-sook' is punished!]

No, it's usually normal for parents to dry up their children..? She's too tough to ride.

Yooseong said, biting the well.

"So... I think it's hard to give you an answer right now.... My heart is real, ah! I don't want to lie to you and join your team..!"

"Oh, okay. I get it, so relax."

I know you think I'm as good as 7948, so you don't have to rush up to the chair and punish me. Put your hands on this.

I sighed a little.

"It's not urgent enough to come to a conclusion right now anyway. And the team will talk about it later. I was just eating with him, and I told him to stay."

"Then, as early as you told me... I will try to convince my mother...!"

"... Well, thank you for that, but don't get too worked up?"

[If you don't do this now, SeongHyun-sook will sweat!]

.. Oops, 7948 is likely enough.

* * *

We talked about what to do, and we enjoyed it lavishly because we were not satisfied with the meal. Then we broke up with the greeting that we saw.

"Holy water, I'm going to go home today and convince your mother that nothing really happened..."

The atmosphere also splashed on Yang, a longtime warrior.

Honestly, I don't want you to rot in your mom who just got discharged.

I don't even want to talk about it.

"I'll take care of it. He doesn't have a concept.."

Who cares about who? You better watch my forehead.

I shook my head, and I stepped into a park where human beings were rare.

Why did you come to the park without Nandi?

Because my mom just sponsored me.

[Holy Grail, SeongHyun-sook is sponsoring our son!]]

[Sponsorship List: Instance Dungeon Generation Key]

I looked at the square black card in my hand.

There are no patterns or drawings on the surface of the card.

Item Info

Name: Instance Dungeon Generation Key

Category: Consumption

Description: This is the card key that summons the virtual backspace.

Effect: Creates an instance dungeon once. The type of dungeon that appears is random.

"I needed a monster to catch me when I didn't."

How much EXP is given per monster, and how stats increase each time you level up.

I have a lot to learn about secondary awakening.

[SeongHyun-sook snorts because no one knows our son as well as he does in this world!]

You're the only one.

No, but...

"I don't think it's usually a rare item because I see a bird... Is your wallet okay?"

[Due to the high number of Freshly Burned Coins with Reverse Dungeon Clearance, Seong-hyun is sharpening his nose!]

Oh, right. Obviously, after breaking the reverse dungeon, I was told that a large amount of freshwater coins had been given to the Holy City.

Best, Reverse Dungeon.

"You can write it here, right?"

I also came to the grounds where I had a long walk, just in case I didn't know.

I extended the card key forward.

At that moment.

Grizzly!

At the time of the shovel, the card key disappeared, and a blue swirl appeared before my eyes, frying the spark.

It was a similar sight when I visited the Saint's Workshop to obtain the manufacturing method of 'The Divine Water of All Things'.

"Let's go."

I inhale lightly, then take a step beyond the gate.

At the same time as the dimensionally distinctive humid and turbid air hits me,

[Holy Grail, SeongHyun-sook screams and is frightened!]

After witnessing the state of the dungeon, the horror burst out of my mother's mouth.
