In addition to turning the landscape into a whole lot of black and white, I was able to find a few more sides.

The curtain edges are fixed in the air, not in the wind.

The first needle and pinch of the watch that stops in place without going any further.

No matter how you look at it.....

"Time seems to have stopped?"

Other than that, there is no room for interpretation.

But... What?

Even if time stops, your body moves without any more problems.

Two hands, two feet, blinking all right. The voice also flows freely.

It was as if I was separated from the world by a meaningless accident.

[Holy Spirit, SeongHyun-sook is embarrassed by sweating!]

"Huh?"

['My son' has done nothing wrong, but 'SeongHyun-sook' is unfair!]

"What a mistake. Oh, no, no, no. Calm down for a second! Mom! Don't panic and explain it step by step..!"

What the hell is going on here?

It's the first time I've seen a giant cockroach in an instant dungeon.

I don't know, but it's definitely an unusual situation.

It was then that additional system messages were generated in front of the eyes.

['Tier 3 Manager' desperately wants solidarity with you!]

['Management Hall Entrance' will be created!]

As the noise rang, the gaze fixed to the system window shifted in the direction where the sound was heard.

There, only one person was wealthy with a small wooden door that could only enter.

"Grade 3 manager…?"

Is it a holy place?

No. I don't think it's the Holy Place if I see no formula in front of it..

[SeongHyun Sook, the manager in charge of the discipline and order of the pavilion, conveys the information in a restless tone!]

[At school, it reminds me of the old memory of SeongHyun-sook, who is like a leader!]

.. Since I have spent some academic life, my mother is playing the word lead director.

Dependent.

"Why would you suddenly want to see me?"

There's nothing wrong with what you said, but you get stabbed.

I should have opened that door, but I was in a conflict.

Will you please come in? Ah! There is no trick to defeat the Sulfur Representative!

Beyond the door, I heard an incomplete voice, whether a girl or a boy.

Just close your eyes once! Help Poor Manager. Hit me and speak to my Soldier! I beg you, please!

… embarrassed in a different sense. Why is he so obliged?

[Sung-hyun-suk won't hide his outrageous reaction!]

I left the bed and approached the door because it seemed more painful to ignore it.

Then I reached out and opened the door.

Intercept.

The moment the bright light spilled through the cracks in the door covered the field of view.

Oh, yeah.

The sound of a freshly tickled bird tickled his ears.

The touch on the soles of the feet changed to that of a root grass, not the marble floor of a hard room.

When I opened my eyes, I was somewhere in the vast meadow where the sun was pouring out.

And in the middle of the meadow..

"Ah! I can't believe you responded to my solitary request! I'm so glad, Representative Huang!"

Boy in blue blossom, blue conquest.

The boy grabbed my hand in the heat, shining a search-break.

"I'm Pietro, the third manager of the Hall of Fame! It's an honor to meet you like this!"

* * *

"Do you know which of the delegates currently participating in 'Raising the Summer Species' has the steepest growth rate? Representative Huang, it's you!"

"At that time, the face of the witch did not shrink, but stood up! Argh! That was awesome!"

"I don't really pay much attention to the work of the summit, but the representative of the Sultan is different! The blood boils when you see the award that renews every day!"

"So, to what extent do you know about the Hall of Fame? This story is going to get faster! I love this point too!"

What you said was a solitary request for a fan meeting.

I don't rest for 20 minutes, but I have no visible seats to listen to.

[I thought you were the lead manager, but Seong Hyun-sook nodded solemnly because he knew something!]

She's nodding as solemnly as she agrees to anything else.

I can't. I have to cut it properly. What the hell are you doing bringing a man to a place like the Teletobi Gardens?

"Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt during the conversation, but if you could just tell me about it..."

"Yes? Ah! I'm sorry about this! So excited, the rest of the speech got a little long!"

20 minutes is a lot of time to say "a little."

You can't just scratch the back of your head, because it's ridiculous.

"Sorry!"

"… Yes?"

Suddenly Pietro started to apologize to me with a 90-degree waist.

Whatever you do, you're a fighter. It's hard to keep up.

"I know that a lot of Summer Humans have been affected, including the Sulfur Representative, due to the recent 'Everything' done by the Frozen Witch."

"... Ah."

"The excessive involvement of those in the ministry of the Holy City of Bondi in taking the life of the Summer is one of the taboos against noble discipline."

Pietro raises his head slightly toward the ground.

There was a certain evil spirit in the blindfold that was naive.

"Please relieve me of my wrath, for I have inflicted a corresponding punishment on that holy place."

"Then...."

From his eyes, I think the level of punishment is enormous.

Let's go, you psycho saint.

"This is what the Witch of the Face did, but it is also undeniable that our management was clearly neglected. Therefore, we want to reward those who have suffered damage and their representatives appropriately."

"Appropriate compensation...?"

"Recovery potion that heals completely without sequelae immediately, regardless of the severity of the injury. And an elixir of growth that batches up all stats by 7%. These are the damage compensation provided by our managers."

"Oh…."

Recovery Potion is good, but all stats are up 7% in bulk. Who said, "Huh? Only 7%? '

'It's never bad if you go up by 7% for players with a stat average of over three digits, like Choi Guanghyun or Jin Soo-hyun, or me.'

If this is the amount of bread I didn't expect, calling it a crosshairs is no exaggeration.

Experiment. I said, clogging my mouth with a fart.

"Then take it willingly."

"Oh, for the record. You are the exception!"

"... What?"

[What the hell are you talking about, SeongHyun-sook!]

At that time, Pietro hastily added, "Don't get me wrong.

"Ahhh! The exception meant I would give you a 'more special' reward!"

"... A more special reward, I see."

Surprise. That's why I have to listen to Korean until the end.

"In a way, you can see that the damage has stopped on this line thanks to the Sulphur Representative. Also, crucially, wasn't the Sulfur Representative the object of a witchcraft that explicitly focused on evil?"

"That's not wrong. I tried to kill you first after defeating that fucking psycho holy bastard.."

"Yes, that's what we want to do, and we want to give you a more special reward."

Pietro stretches his waist straight and grabs his fingers covered in white gloves! I bounced.

And then,

Glub!

As the set on the theatre stage shifted, the surrounding landscape began to rotate rapidly, increasing its remnants.

I feel a mild dizziness and sometimes frown for a while.

When the rotating landscape stopped, I stood on my feet in a completely different place, not in the garden of Teletoby.

And then,

"……."

[Holy Grail, SeongHyun-sook is losing power!]

I didn't find anything to say.

I had to, because I was welcoming myself.

"Here! What is all this!"

Pietro shouted with exaggerated gestures and exaggerated accents, like a lawyer guiding the audience through the contents of a silent film.

"This is Alpha and Omega, one of the privileges given to Seong Woong, who has made great achievements! An oasis flowing through the sky!"

Unless I'm making some kind of mistake right now,

"Welcome to Saint Market!"

I have now set foot in a place that is only allowed to the 'holy' ones.

[SeongHyun-sook is excited to buy the items that he will sponsor for our son!]]

Inside the temple, with an infinitely wide red hue.

Spears, swords, bows, axes, daggers, helmets, armor, etc.. Countless items of all kinds were flying around the sky like feathers.

Also, the ceiling was full of round spheres like the starry night sky..

Oh, my God. You don't think that's it?

"Everything that looks like a star up there is a skill ball!"

Crazy...

Is this how Charlie felt when he first visited Willie Wonka's chocolate factory?

You can't even give me a business card like the player market on Earth, this.

When I couldn't keep my mouth shut, Pietro approached me with a kicking smile.

And he handed me a square booklet.

"This is the catalogue of the St. Lawrence Market!"

"Catalog…? Oh, no, no, no. Let's start by explaining what this is all about..."

"You can take one of the items in your catalog there for free!"

"……."

I was trying to guess, but I was killed and hiccupped myself.

A more special reward is what I'm talking about.

But this is too much for "a little more"...

[Seong Hyun-suk says he caught our son!]

I opened the catalogue with a mouthful of saliva.

You do not have permission to view.

"There is a limit of 5 items allowed to the Sulfur Representative who is subordinate to the providence of the Summer! But don't be so grumpy! Even if it's 5 items, there will be lots of items you like!"

"Is 5 the lowest?"

"Seven is the lowest quality!"

['Vitamins with lots of love' was a 5 item category item, 'Hyun-sook' adds!]

I think it's important to put the first button on, because without "vitamins with lots of love," the second round wouldn't have worked like this.

I have the opportunity to choose the same quality item as that one, so there is no reason to be disappointed even if it is 5 items.

"Touch 'Performance Check' under the item and you will see the item's information!"

As Pietro said, he touched the 'Performance Check' of the Glorious Sword.

Then the information about the item really came up in a holographic window.

'Strength stats +5% when allies are near grade A +...' '

It's a promissory note.

If it was like a player market, the items that would have been left with the VVIP card would have wandered around.

One by one. I checked the performance of the items in the catalog.

It's not a joke, it's just a hot item and skill that has nothing to throw away.

You can close your eyes and take pictures of anything, but at least you won't regret it.

So it's a problem.

'Only one of these needs to be selected.'

You have to make the best choice when there is no fool left.

[It's too harsh a trial for our son who can't decide whether to go to the Chinese house and eat the mulberry or not!]

... I hate myself so much that I can't refute my mother's facts.

He bites his nails nicely, handing over the page and then handing over again for a moment.

"... Huh?"

There was one item that caught my eye in the conflict.

It was no weapon, no armor, no artifact.

Item Info

Name: Elixir of Custom Growth

Category: Consumption

Description: An elixir of growth that takes your status to the next level.

Effects: Different effects depending on the user's current growth status.

Unlike other items whose performance is clearly specified, this one has a fluidic effect depending on the user's current condition.

Rather, it caught my attention.

More than anything else...

'A potion that permanently affects stats can't be found in the player market.'

Other A + or S weapons can also be acquired in the Player Market.

However, the Elixir of Growth can only be found in the Saint Market.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to pick an item that has no way of getting it unless it's the St. Market?

['Personalized Growth Elixir' is an item that you cannot buy with your current coins. 'Hyun-sook' supports our son's choice!]

It says 100 GOD COIN... If you can't afford it with your mom's wallet, it must be very expensive.

And a chance to take it for free?

There is no reason to hesitate.

"Here, I'll do this as an elixir of custom growth."

"Excellent judgment!"

Pietro, who smiled widely, bounced his finger, and the flask bottle filled with transparent liquid swung down from the ceiling.

I swallowed a dry needle and slowly passed the liquid in the bottle down my throat.

And then the next moment.

[Mystery benefits your body!]

[Each time you level up in the future, stats will increase by 5%!]

"……."

Wait a minute.

Now every time you level up, stats don't go up by 10, they go up by 5%?

If it's 5%... Wait. Let's start with the status window and think about it.

Player Information

Name: Hwang Jae-min

Level: 26

Strength: 424

Agility: 428

HP: 403

Intelligence: 424

"……."

All stats lightly exceed 400.

If it's 5% of 400, 20.

In other words, I now increase stats by 20 or more even if I can't level up every time.

'It's more than twice as high as when you climbed by 10!'

Even now, this number 20 is not a fixed value.

In other words, efficiency has increased.

For example, let's say that the day has come when I grew up like this and the average stat breaks 1000.

But even then, every time you level up, you only get 10 stats?

'It's not worth gathering EXP at all. Just thinking about it makes me feel bad.'

However, if it is 5%, the story is different.

It means we can keep the growth rate constant.

[Holy Father, SeongHyun-sook is satisfied with our son's choice!]

Satisfied with Mom? Satisfied with Me.

Other high-performance equipment and skills are good, but they're not the best ones to have a direct plus effect on growth, are they?

Pietro spoke to me, sweeping my heart.

"I see you've made an unfortunate choice!"

"Thank you. Thank you very much."

"What do you mean! Of course, you have the right to enjoy it!"

Snow reinforcements did the right thing. Maybe I'm the first player in the world to see The St. Market with my own eyes.

I became so proud that I looked around once again, and found the same wooden door that I used before coming round next to me.

I want to see more... I can't even eat anymore, so I suggest you leave before you become a fool in vain.

As he approached the door, Pietro nonetheless said:

"Just a little more vigor, Representative Huang."

.. Just a little more?

I turned my head and faced Pietro.

I thought he was laughing, but surprisingly Pietro was looking at me in a serious color.

"Just a little harder. What do you mean by that?"

"Representative Huang has done a lot so far. That's how much life you saved."

"……."

At that point, I briefly recalled the footsteps I had carved so far.

The first day of regression. If it wasn't for me, I would have saved Izzie Yoon's brother, who would have been killed by Orcs.

We solved the old crisis caused by Cyrus, and we saved the children caught in Ocharyn's biological experiments.

"The Hall of Fame was watching all of the delegates' movements."

"……."

"And those who are 'on top' acknowledge that their actions are undeniable 'achievements'. Do you know what this means?"

Pietro's index finger, covered in white cotton gloves, pointed up.

"Your Holy Representative will soon be promoted to 'Full'."

[Holy Spirit, SeongHyun-sook listens to the words of the '3rd level manager'!]

"You already know the promotion conditions for the 'Holy Grail', don't you?"

I know. I heard it from my mom. Making significant achievements in this world by the representatives in charge.

That is the only condition that the Apprenticeship Seat is promoted to the Full Seat.

Representatives with a 'full Holy Place' will be given the opportunity to carry out the 'Trial of the Successor'.

"Don't break it, burn your soul, and advance as you are now. Then, in the near future, it must be..."

Pietro paints a clear smile on his face, blurring his end.

"Representative Huang can be reborn as a great successor."
