4 – growth (3)

An institution with power equal to that of the Korean government.

Explorers Association.

The head of the organization, the head of the association, is not an existence that even the president can treat carelessly. She is the daughter of such an association president, and the woman who is expected to be the next president is also the same.

So even though she wasn’t formally affiliated with the association yet, association officials and direct investigators had no choice but to treat her respectfully as if they were their superiors.

“Are you here? miss.”

1st floor of the association’s main building located in Seongnam-si.

A semi-special searcher belonging to the association bowed politely.

“Yes, it’s been a while.”

“The president of the association is now in his office on the 30th floor. We will guide you right away.”

“Nope. It’s because I didn’t come to see my father.”

Baek So-ah.

A first year student at Daehan Academy.

An elite who has one legendary job and one heroic job, and has reached the level of a 3rd-class explorer even though he has just become an adult.

She was thinking of a man right now.

An insignificant man who lags far behind himself.

‘Lee Hyun-seong…’

Lee Hyun-seong, whom I met today, was different from before, as if he had become a different person.

It’s a cheeky attitude.

A vulgar and high-handed tone.

His appearance, which made people frown just by looking at it, was nowhere to be found.

‘Why the sudden change? It doesn’t seem like he’s been drinking lately.’

Lee Hyun-seong’s face was reddish every time he saw it.

Because I lived with alcohol in my mouth all the time.

It must have been severe alcoholism.

Have you stopped drinking in such a short period of time?

Can a person change like that in an instant?

It was weird the more I thought about it.

It’s the same with today’s work.

Finding a level 5 dungeon was just luck.

Instead of putting it up for auction right away, you say you want to explore it yourself.

‘That Lee Hyun-seong? There’s no way a man who was always scared and stayed behind when going out to practice dungeons would say such a thing.’

Has there been any change of heart?

Or is it a serious head injury?

All kinds of thoughts ran through Baek So-ah’s head.

“Soah. Here is the material you are talking about.”

“Thanks for your work.”

Baek So-ah heard that Lee Hyeon-seong had posted a report, and used her location to receive information about him.

‘The monster I found is a 1-star dwarf. The number of subjugation is 100…?’

was it real?

I thought it was just a simple bluff, but it was a real search.

‘how?’

He wasn’t very interested in Lee Hyun-seong, but he knew his job.

The only job, a monster summoner.

The monster that can be summoned is one dwarf.

‘No matter how much I think about it, I don’t have the skills to subjugate 100 of them…’

I didn’t think it was a false report.

I didn’t return any magic stones.

It was because he said he had obtained one Awakening Stone and entrusted the sale brokerage to the association.

Since it was not an item that could be obtained by simply catching one, Lee Hyun-seong’s report was credible.

‘Lee Hyun-seong… what happened to change like this?’

Then, he suddenly remembered how Lee Hyun-seong had discovered the dungeon.

The fact that I was hungry and rummaged through a pile of garbage and found it.

‘Have you ever written a loan? I heard that when people are cornered, they regain their senses.’

Unbeknownst to Baek So-ah, a small interest in Lee Hyun-seong was rising from deep within her heart.

‘I was just bored, so let’s look into it a bit.’

Lee Hyun-sung’s extreme change stimulated Baek So-ah’s interest.

***

I had a dream.

Jinjeop-eup, Namyangju-si, where a super-large dungeon break took place.

A boy who could not be evacuated is crawling pathetically, limping on a broken leg.

In the meantime.

A bright red jewel entered the boy’s field of vision, who was moaning and full of tears.

The boy had a hunch.

That’s definitely an Awakening Stone that I’ve only seen on the internet.

Is it God’s grace?

A ray of hope appeared.

I came to believe that if I got a job, I would be able to overcome this situation somehow.

The boy dragged himself with all his might, picked up the jewel, and swallowed it without hesitation.

And fainted.

When I woke up, I saw a different landscape than before.

The monsters that filled the streets were nowhere to be found.

It seemed that someone had moved them to the safe zone.

It didn’t take long to figure out who it was.

A strange person was nursing the boy with his hand on his forehead.

“who···?”

Blurred vision became clearer.

A dwarf, a hideous monster, was reflected in the boy’s eyes.

─Kirik!

“…”

The boy fainted again.

***

Sometimes, like this, Lee Hyun-sung’s past flows through his dreams.

author. Is it God’s consideration?

It seems that he took measures to get to know the human named Lee Hyun-seong so that there would be no hindrance to his life this time.

‘But he didn’t say thank you to the kaebi who saved his life and just neglected it.’

The more you know, the more you get sick of it.

You’re reluctant to summon me because I’m disgusted with your appearance.

The attitude towards the benefactor was very bad.

More than anything.

I haven’t even tried to use this job properly.

He said he took the only level of trash, he even put his life down and lived like a fool.

‘He’s a guy who doesn’t even have a real answer.’

It’s not that I don’t understand.

The shock of losing his mother to a monster during the dungeon break was great, and the hatred for monsters was deeply rooted in his heart.

Still, you have to differentiate.

It’s just absurd to put dungeon monsters and summoned monsters on the same line.

“Kwaebi. Am I better than that guy before?”

─Kei!

before school.

After brushing my teeth, I looked at Kkaebi, who was lying around in the room.

When it’s been a while since I summoned kkaebi.

He told me that I was not Lee Hyun-sung from before.

I thought that kkaebi couldn’t understand human language.

It was just like talking to yourself.

But to understand…

Rather, the results were good.

Because Kkaebi, who had shrunk like an abused cat, opened her heart to my changed self in one day.

not canceling the summons.

The virtue of comforting them with delivery food all day also played a role.

It wasn’t worth the money.

It is an infinitely insufficient reward for the benefactor.

Anyway, the gift that protected my body in the past is right.

‘Well… there was help from Kkaebi, but Lee Hyun-seong’s job cost was 5, so he survived.’

Red Awakening Stone that can get the only job is 5 cost.

People with a cost less than that were not allowed to take it.

My body exploded because I was overloaded.

You could say you were lucky.

‘It’s not uncommon for a job to cost 5 at the age of 15.’

job cost.

Humans and Awakening Stones each have a cost.

Cost ranges from 0 to 5.

If you are born with 0, you are a normal person.

If you are born as 1, you can dream of a future seeker.

Although cost holders start with 1 equally.

It increases as you grow up to the age of 20.

There are cases where it does not progress from 1 continuously.

Some grow up to 5.

‘That’s why most people don’t take Awakening Stones until they’re 20 if it’s not 5 cost.’

It could be 5 cost, but I can’t make a hasty decision.

It’s a matter of life, so you have to be careful.

Even if you hit 5 cost before adulthood, unless you are rich, you won’t take Awakening Stone.

Daehan Academy, where only 5-cost talents can enter.

The only explorer training institution in Korea.

Legendary Awakening Stones are given to freshmen there. aiming for that time.

It’s all debt.

Is there a free job?

before becoming an adult.

Taking the Awakening Stone, I belonged to a rare case.

It becomes a 5 course early.

If you are from a wealthy family, you may take legendary or heroic awakening stones in advance.

I only belong to the former.

Although I took the Awakening Stone because of the reason.

Anyway, just because he had already taken it, it didn’t mean he couldn’t receive the Legendary Awakening Stone.

If you wanted to, you could receive the same as other freshmen.

‘Lee Hyun-seong also received it.’

I didn’t know, but I got the memory in my dream and found out yesterday morning.

It was tucked away in the corner of a drawer.

‘Speechless, really.’

Should I say I’m glad I didn’t sell it?

It must have been conspired with slush funds.

It’s all debt anyway, but I really don’t have any thoughts.

Knowing this fact, I was originally going to return it, but I changed my mind. I’m going to take it to our kkaebi.

The debt only needs to be repaid within 10 years of graduating from the academy.

The interest rate is also low, so I decided to invest when I could.

So, I took it right away last night.

Orange jewel.

Legendary Awakening Stone.

What kind of Awakening Stone is it?

I know it when I see it.

This is the current awakening.

A legendary class that plays the role of both a melee dealer and a tanker.

An indomitable assaulter with three stat-increasing passive skills.

It’s not just reinforcement, it’s super-reinforcement.

Considering the effort it takes to raise an ability by 1.

It was majestic enough to be called a legendary class job.

‘after. I’m sure this is enough to win?’

It has been added to the basic ability increase due to evolution.

He doesn’t have any special attack skills, but he thinks he can overwhelm his opponent with pure physical power.

In fact, even if I lost in Dalian, I tried to put meaning in that I would participate without leaving myself out. Because Lee Hyeon-seong always made various excuses to run away from Dalian. In order to restore your image, you have to change little things like this step by step.

But I got greedy.

If you’re going to do it, it’s better to win, right?

When I saw the 2-star Kkaebi, I took a peek at the possibility, and because of that possibility, I boldly invested in the legendary Awakening Stone.

I’ve done this, and if I lose, I’ll have to get out and die.

win unconditionally

It is not unfounded confidence.

The match opponent has already been decided.

Baekchi fever.

Ranked 59th in the freshman year.

A student who is only one rank higher than me, who is in last place.

Yeah, that’s worth doing.

“I’m a little nervous though.”

After washing her face, she slapped her cheek a couple of times to relax. It was the time when I came out to the living room, put on my school uniform, and tried to put a kkaebi in the picture book.

“Now listen to the encyclopedia… Ah. Wait a minute.”

I almost forgot something important.

I completely forgot to test my possessing skills.

Originally, I should have used it before bed yesterday, but I was tired so I just laid down and went to sleep.

Thinking of it, I should try it now.

I don’t think I’ll need it during Dalian, but just in case.

There is still a lot of time left until school starts, so you can relax a bit.

“Kwaebi. I’m going to try using the possessing skill, isn’t it okay?”

─Kei!

Kkaebi jumped up and nodded her head.

Every time I see that bright face, I feel like my heart is healed.

“Then would you like to stay away for a bit? You’re too attached, Kkaebi.”

─Keii.

Kkaebi grumbled and distanced herself.

The way to use possession is simple.

All you have to do is show your will to use the skill while chanting normally. There’s no problem if you designate the target internally, but to be sure, it would be better to chant the name as well.

“Possession. Target kkaebi.”

The moment I activate the skill of possessing.

My body started to ooze as if it were liquid.

Is this a sign that the soul is about to escape?

without a moment to finish thinking.

My body, which had been melting, vaporized in an instant and quickly covered Kkaebi’s entire body.

My eyesight is darkened,

·······.

A new perspective greeted me.

It was a very low level.

I blinked my eyes.

He lowered his head and checked his hand.

A small black-skinned hand.

‘Is it done?’

I quietly checked the mirror next to me.

The stupid looking kkaebi was looking at me.

I think it’s true that the possession was successful…

The changes in my body that took place in the process.

And the original body that can’t be seen anywhere in the room.

────Isn’t possession of possession just a transfer of the mind?

In fact, it was correct to say that it was not possession, but fusion.

─hahahaha… It was good to experiment before going to school.

in battle.

For my own safety, I thought there would be no reason to use possession.

But in this case, the story is different.

─Is this going to be easy to use during sparring?

It was a skill that complemented the summoner’s greatest weakness.
