Leveling
Ch 99's

"Do you happen to have a Hunter friend close to you? Or maybe

someone close to you who is waiting for their Resurrection test results?"

The doctor asked a strange question.

The chairman asked if there was anything wrong with his body, so why did the person speak

about Hunter? Yoo Myunghan asked, though,

"Whatchu mean? Why suddenly talk about Hunter?”

"Have you heard of a disease called Eternal Sleep?"

Hearing the words, "Eternal Sleep", even Yoo Myunghan who is usually calm and without

his expression quickly became shaken.

Eternal Sleep's.

A state in which you will fall asleep and cannot be awakened from it.

It's not just sleeping forever.

This disease will cause the patient's life span to be faster than usual.

A life support device powered by a magic core is needed to keep

the life of the suffering.

It was a terrible disease that appeared after the existence of Gates.

Many people who cannot afford life support give up on

illness and death.

“You will continue to fall asleep periodically.And finally, you will never wake up"

The doctor looked sorry.

As of now, no patient has ever woken up from Eternal Sleep.

All you can do is extend your life with support devices, and

it was no different from a dead puppet.

"..."

When the doctor finished his explanation, Yoo Myunghan asked impatiently,

"So, what does this have to do with Hunter?"

"It is known that Eternal Sleep has a correlation with magic power"

Because of their nature, there are people in the world who are weak to exposure to magic power.

Among such people, there will be people who experience various side effects, and

one of them is Eternal Sleep.

"Is not the patient's life span extended by devices powered by

magic power?"

"That's true but,"

Just like nuclear power can produce good things and at the same time

also dangerous, the doctor explained that devices that use magic power do not

harm body.

"What you should pay attention to is the magic core, magic seeds and people with

magic power"

'People with magic power ...'

Yoo Myunghan thought of the only Awakened Being in her immediate family,

it was Yoo Jinho.

The doctor carefully continued,

"I heard it .. The chairman's second son is a Hunter"

When mentioning Yoo Jinho, Yoo Myunghan's face hardened,

"So ..what you told me was that I would never be able to see

my son again?"

"That's the only way for you to"

"Don't make me laugh!"

Yoo Myunghan firmly cut the doctor's words, saying,

"There's no other way"

And with a wave of his hand, he dismissed the doctor.

"Chairman…"

Lost for words, the doctor looked at Yoo Myunghan's fierce gaze and left the VIP room.

Yoo Myunghan continued to stare at the door the doctor left behind angrily,

‘Told me to keep away from my son because of an illness

who can tell a father? "

And let's say if that's the case.

How would Jinho react if he heard this news?

As a father, Yoo Myunghan could not burden his son with such a thing.

'Also…'

Every day, the use of magic power continued to spread throughout the world, and the number of Beings

the Risen One increases.

In such a world, telling him that he could not be exposed to the exposure of magic power

nothing more like a death sentence.

"Yoo Myunghan is on death row?"

It won't be useful.

"I won't lose"

He had managed to accomplish things that others had told him were impossible.

He inherited Yoojin Construction when he was in 30th place among the business world and

he moved up to #1 in the country.

"And do you think I will bow down before mere sickness now?"

I won't lose.

Yoo Myunghan repeated it many times in her head.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before leaving, Jin Woo carefully went into his sister's room.

Because it was still morning, Jin Ah was still sound asleep.

However, her brother was very worried.

"What if someone comes to him when I'm gone?"

Of course, people wouldn't be stupid enough to hurt the younger sister of a Hunter

S-Rank, but at the same time, those people's attitudes are unpredictable.

At the very least, he needed to plan for some possibilities.

"Wait, my soldiers can hide under someone's shadow, right?"

Jin Woo remembers the soldiers he told to patrol when there was a serial killer incident

around his neighborhood.

At that moment, the shadow moved while hiding in various shadows of the object.

With that, he might be able to protect his little sister unnoticed.

In fact, there are some soldiers who are perfect for protecting someone.

'Rise'

Jin Woo summons an army of monsters who once acted as Tusk's bodyguard.

shooo

Large enough even for a High Orc type, the three warriors filled the entire room of Jin Ah.

Wait for.

'Wait.Why are there only three?'

Aren't there four guards?

Retracing his memories, Jin Woo quietly exclaimed as a result, saying,

'A.'

He realized that he left one of the bodyguards glued to the ceiling.

He forgot to extract that shadow.

"I have to be more careful next time."

With a smile, Jin Woo sent three former High Orc bodyguards.

The three of them were Elite Class.

It was 1 step above the Normal Class of ordinary High Orc warriors.

If it were all three, even Hunter Rank-A would not be a problem.

This is not just a theory, Jin Woo remembers if he ever saw Hunter Rank-A, Son Gihoon

fight to fight against ordinary High Orcs.

And these three are much stronger than those enemies.

Jin Woo raised his chin towards Jin Ah.

shooo

The bodyguards melted into their shadow forms and traveled

floor crossing.

They were absorbed into Jin Ah's shadow.

'Yosh'

Secretly hiding behind his shadow.

If he is in danger, no matter who his enemy is, get rid of them mercilessly.

With that command, Jin Woo carefully closed the door of his sister's room.

"Now I feel a little better"

Worrying decreases.

After making sure the door was secure, Jin Woo went outside.

As promised, Yoo Jinho was waiting for him there.

"Youngnim!"

With a bright expression, the young man greeted Jin Woo.

"Is your room okay?"

"Yes, hyungnim.Motel today is not that bad"

Because his younger sister was at home, Jin Woo ended up letting Yoo Jinho stay the night

at the nearest motel.

Fortunately, it seems quite comfortable.

"Until we get the Guild office, stay there for now"

"Understood,hyungnim"

Because he was in a good mood for some reason, Yoo Jinho

keep smiling.

Jin Woo had heard the young man's story roughly.

To think that he would completely reject the position of Guildmaster and come to him.

When Jin Woo asked in astonishment, Yoo Jinho replied as if he was being persecuted, saying,

"Wait, so you actually decided to come to my Guild?"

"Hyungnim told me to do it!"

So, he could not scold or get rid of the young man who had thrown away the title

Guildmaster and instead came to him.

"Alright, let's go"

"Yes,hyungnim"

Yoo Jinho was sitting in the driver's seat, and Jin Woo was sitting on the passenger side.

The couple in the van headed to Daesung Tower.

In the middle of the road, Yoo Jinho glanced at Jin Woo.

"I wonder what he wants to do inside Daesung Tower"

He was curious, but he felt it disrespectful to ask too much of his hyungnim.

screech-tree

When the van arrived at Daesung Tower, the young man finally gathered his courage out of curiosity,

"So hyungnim, why are we in Daesung-"

"I'll be back"

"Huh?"

Yoo Jinho quickly looked over.

But the passenger door was open, and hyungnim was gone.

Yoo Jinho recalled a similar thing that happened in the past.

The young man scratched the back of his head.

"Sometimes .. I wonder if he's a ghost or a human"

[You have entered the Demon Castle Dungeon]

Jin Woo released his 'Stealth.

"I'm finally back"

I'm so happy to be able to get back to a place where I can move as I please.

I went inside the Gates and heard a mechanical sound that seemed to be waiting for me.

ring ~

[Quest has arrived]

Unlike the first time he entered, the next time Jin Woo was not surprised.

The quest he received at that time, was [Gather the Soul of the Devil].

complete that Quest one.

Jin Woo opened the mailbox.

ring~

[General Quest: Gather the Demon Soul! (2)] On the top floor of Demon Castle, the strongest Devil, "Baran," lives.

Defeat Baran and obtain his soul.If you manage to seal the Demon King's soul, you will

received a big prize.

Quest Condition:- [General Quest: Collect Demon Souls! (1)] Finished

Quest returned to the Demon Castle Finished

Reward:Highest Runestone - Bonus Statistics +30

Quest :- [General Quest: Gather the Demon Soul! (2)] not finished

Reward: Accepted after Quest is completed]

Jin Woo's face brightened.

You don't have to go back to do the Quest anymore, you just have to go up to the top level

Demon Castle as fast as you can.

And the prize is good.

'Stat Bonus +30! ’

The previous quest was quite extreme, where he had to gather 10,000 demon souls.

Although there are 20 bonus statistics points that have been received thereafter.

But this time, if I kill one of the demon lords, I will be given 30 statistical points.

This was equal to 10 days of daily Quests.

And that is a statistical point that can raise my level again.

Jin Woo smiled after seeing those many unexpected gifts.

"But what kind of Runestone is this?"

Jin Woo confirmed the first prize.

ring~

[Top Runestone: Shadow Exchanges] You can learn a Class-specific Skill by

destroying runestone]

"Can you learn a Class-specific Skill?"

Jin Woo's eyes grew bigger.

There were three Class-specific Skills so far that he had.

Shadow Extrusions.

Shadow Storage's.

The Area of the Monarch.

All three were good Skills, none of them were useless.

To think if I can have a new Skill, that is.......

"But what skill will I receive?"

JIn Woo tries to check the skill information, but only the name of the skill appears,

and no detailed explanation was given.

Jin Woo feels cheated after seeing that.

"Well, I can finish the Quest and check it out myself later"

Special skills Class and statistics points.

That was enough for the prize.

I have a reason to go upstairs now.

"But before I start ..."

Jin Woo looked at the status window back.

Ring ~

And thanks to the reward points, the Intelligence statistics that have the highest points are already visible.

"Statistics Int is already close to two hundred"

And hence, the maximum amount of mana Jin Woo had already exceeded 5,000.

Which is very useful for Jin Woo.

It was like a trigger that could regenerate the Shadow Soldier's indefinitely.

In the future, if I think about the increasing number of Shadow Soldiers, more and more,

it seemed like 5,000 mana was not enough to call them.

"Okay, let's start"

One second of silence is waste.

Jin Woo closes the status screen.

And right now he was still on the first floor of the Demon Castle.

Jin Woo does not need to pass through one floor at a time until the 76th floor.

So Jin Woo goes straight to the magic-circle.

[Opens from 1st floor to 76th floor].

[Where do you want to go?]

Jin Woo said without hesitation.

"76"

Glowing light.

Jin Woo's vision became blurred.

And it began to be seen, the burning cities in front of him.

In the moving magic-circle, Jin Woo feels the heat on his skin due to the atmosphere of the floor.

Jin Woo fixed his position and took out two artifacts.

One was a black robe named "Robin of the Wind", and the other was

a ring that has magic.

Jin Woo then wears the robe and ring.

After putting on the robe, Jin Woo felt like a true Hunter Class Mage.

‘... I saw cool‘

It seems like this robe was indeed made just for Jin Woo.

"Will this hold fire here?"

Jin Woo slowly steps out of the magic circle.

Indeed indeed.

This artifact is expensive.

Unlike when he had come before, the current outside temperature did not affect him at all.

"A very useful cloak?"

I don't know why, I'm moving my body, but it's easier than

which I suppose.

As the name implies, this cloak itself is as light as air.

'Yosh'

I'm all set.

And also, the demon who smelled a human stench began to race closer to Jin Woo

this is not the end of preparation.

If it was the same as before, I would be able to overcome or level up

by going around every corner of the floor.

'But now …'

I can't waste time here, because mom's care is still going on.

Instead of calling out daggers as usual, Jin Woo called instead calling Shadow Soldier's.

Sensations.

Reliable shadow soldiers appeared.

‘Mana Tusk?’

Jin Woo is looking for Tusk.

The higher his class, the closer he gets when he comes out, Tusk is in a summon close to Jin Woo.

Jin Woo took out the "Marble of Greed's" from the storage and placed it on the palm

hand Tusk.

"You're leading today"

Mage will not be affected by the side effects of 'Marble of Greed's',

but it would even be very useful for a Mage.

‘...’

Tusk lowered his head as if he was saying thank you.

Booms, booms,

Booms, booms,

Booms.

Finally, the giant devil began to be seen with the naked eye.

"Should we start?"

Jin Woo instructs the soldiers to suck the battle and then calls out

'Open Tanto's' and 'Knight Killer'.

The demons rushed to attack like they were looking at an insect in front of them.

There's a lot here too.

As the last time, Jin Woo said with a relaxed expression.

"Go!"

No, I should have shouted 'Go'

But before he could say it.

KUUUUUUUUU -

A terrifying pillar of fire that emerged from somewhere and swept away all the enemies.

"What?"

Kuuuuuu -

As the flame continued to move, the devil and the ground melted into one.

"Kieeeeeee!"

"Gieeeeeee!"

Suddenly the demon evaporated, and a familiar mechanical voice appeared.

[Levels Up!]

[Levels Up!]

'Yosh…'

Jin Woo looked back, and calmed himself down.

There, the molars, which were twice as large as when they were in the basement,

protruding with gray smoke in their mouths.

gulp

Jin Woo swallowed.

"Is this the power of 'Marble of Greed's?"

I was in his neighborhood, but I burned all the monsters he had

resistance to fire attacks.

Ha ha ha ha's.

When Jin Woo understands the situation, Jin Woo laughs.

"Can I finish this sooner than I thought?"

Jin Woo is very happy when he sees the corpses of demons that become materials for

flame fire.
