Memorize Chapter 5

00005 Use perk. ————————————————– ———————-=

Holplane is a world where power, or to be more precise, ‘user information’, is given top priority. A world where all the information a person has, such as age, inclination, abilities, etc., is synthesized and value judgments are made based on that information.

That may be why they are more sensitive. I certainly didn’t know that I would be granted a special privilege, and it was impossible to come up with a perfect setting in a short amount of time. But I have 10 years of experience.

I wanted to live. If you wanted to live, you had to have strength. The desire for survival soon led to the desire for power. What abilities should I improve and how can I become stronger? I thought about it and researched it countless times. Reaching the level of Master with a magical ability of only 48 points was not something that was achieved by just guessing.

I never thought it would be used like this, but the privileges granted were perfect for utilizing the knowledge I had researched.

The randomly selected potential abilities did not exceed my expectations. Fortunately, I was relieved when I read the names of the abilities that went into the two empty slots. Now all that was left was 1 unique ability slot, 1 special ability slot, and 2 potential ability slots.

And only after carefully selecting the unique, special, and potential abilities, I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

“After a while. “I chose them all.”

“… … .”

At that time, I felt a subtle gaze. Anyway, there are only two people in the summoning room. I didn’t have to look to know who was looking at me right now.

The final farewell to Seraph was heartbreaking. However, the resentment that had accumulated over 10 years was not completely resolved. Moreover, since she now knew a certain amount of her internal situation, it was far from being able to look kindly at the angel in front of her.

I deliberately didn’t look in the direction where Seraph was. I looked away for a while and looked the other way, but even that had its limits. In the end, I couldn’t overcome Seraph’s uncomfortable gaze and decided to open up.

“What you looking at.”

He asked in a deliberately rough voice, but his gaze became more subdued. Seraph exchanged glances with me for a moment and then spoke in a slightly flushed voice.

“User Kim Soo-hyun’s abilities. And unique, special, and potential abilities selected from perks. We have synthesized the settings divided into these two fields and the settings of the swordsman expert. “Then I was able to make an inference.”

“Whose will it be?”

“The helper is at his/her discretion.”

I had to feel a bit absurd seeing Seraph taking it right away. Was the angel joking? Or are you serious? Maybe it was half and half, but I ended up nodding my head.

“okay. “No matter what I try.”

“I felt that the research on abilities and abilities was very deep. “I feel like a user who has experienced the space called Hall Plain for a long time.”

“haha. “That’s nonsense.”

For a moment, my stomach felt very tingly. However, when he asked calmly without showing it, Seraph slowly shook his head to his left and right.

“it’s nothing.”

“I admit that I have a slightly unusual personality.”

“I’m not talking about action. The efficiency achieved by using user Kim Soo-hyun’s perk far exceeded the angels’ expectations. “You can never make that choice unless you experience the hole plane firsthand.”

“Wait a moment here. “There is no such thing as softness.”

“Nothing. I repeat, you don’t have to worry about perks. Angels are different from humans. I won’t say it twice with one mouth. Well, anyway. I think I have a general idea of ​​what user Kim Soo-hyun is aiming for. “That’s it.”

Seraph’s voice was filled with genuine admiration. But her words were meaningful. She couldn’t be flattered by her inner feelings that had been bothering her from a while ago.

Honestly, even though I did research, what I’m aiming for now is based on the class of one of the many users who had the highest reputation in the past.

Famous people are famous, but I remember them in more detail because they have the same name as me. Jin Soo-hyeon, a swordsman expert. This secret class boasted such outstanding power in the battle against wizards that it was called a nightmare by wizards.

Jin Soo-hyun was a user who entered the hall plane later than me. If you calculate the difference, it will be about a year. However, he narrowed down the time period of one year to one year with the word effort. And he quickly overtook me with the word talent. When I think about how hard I tried, the sense of loss I felt at that time still makes my heart ache.

anyway. Coming back to the main topic, it is close to impossible to implement Jin Soo-hyun’s information as is right now. First of all, he wasn’t really close to me, and he wasn’t a crazy user who would share his information with others. Even if the basic essential elements are inherited, they only account for 20% of the total when viewed in the overall context. For the remaining 80%, I have to create the bones and flesh out my own interpretation. As I said before, I planned to trust my 10 years of experience and expertise.

“Anyway, stop looking at me like that.”

When he openly showed his discomfort, Seraph kept his mouth shut.

‘I’ll take the swordsmanship expert.’

It’s not that I don’t feel sorry, so I prayed for Jin Soo-hyun for a while. If you’re like that, you’ll be successful even if you choose a class other than a swordsman expert, so don’t worry too much. After finishing the prayer that was not a prayer, I immediately turned my thoughts to the next benefit.

Fourth privilege.

‘4. You can undergo body modification procedures only once.’

Even though it is a remodeling procedure, there is nothing special about it. Of course, there have been cases where I have seen people replace parts of their bodies with machines, or randomly summon beings from other spaces, and intentionally replace parts of themselves. However, such cases only apply when limbs are completely lost due to unavoidable circumstances. As long as I was healthy and had intact limbs, I didn’t want to give up any part of my body. You can become stronger without having to do that.

What I had in mind was tattooing. This process was an essential element for the completion of the plan. If there had been no tattoo procedure, the success rate of the plan would be less than 30%, which is so dangerous. The item I requested for the 5th perk was that powerful and dangerous.

Since I spent quite a bit of time going through the third privilege, I decided to request a tattoo treatment right away.

“hmm. Let’s see. “I’d rather just get a simple tattoo or procedure rather than a grand remodeling procedure.”

“it’s possible. I’ll show you a tattoo list chart. Please wait a moment.”

“Oh, it’s okay. I know your name. “Please give me a tattoo that says the imprint of an ancient shaman.”

“Where would you like the tattoo to be engraved?”

I raised my right hand with a calm face. And the moment Seraph’s gaze followed my right hand, he pointed his finger at my left breast.

“heart.”

“You mean the heart…? ?”

“why?”

“… … .”

Seraph’s face was calm. He didn’t say anything. But it was clear that inside he was calculating at a speed I couldn’t even imagine. I felt sorry for him trying to figure out my intentions, but of course I had no intention of letting him know just yet.

Most common tattoos are inscribed on the skin. However, it seems that performing a procedure on the heart through magical imprinting using ancient magic is not very desirable.

The organs responsible for the center of magical power used by users are the heart and circuit. Imprinting a tattoo on the heart that could directly or indirectly affect the response to magical power carried the risk of causing any kind of problem.

However, the tattoos of ancient shamans are different.

If I had mentioned tattoos in general, I would have had to argue with Seraph for a while. This is because there were many issues with general tattoos, that is, procedures related to magic amplification or quantity.

However, the engravings of ancient shamans are different from ordinary tattoos. It has a total of two functions. First, it stabilizes itself when magical power runs out. Second, it helps to efficiently direct the flow of magical power.

As it is the imprint of an ancient shaman with such a positive function, Seraph must be very worried right now. She stared at her lips, feeling slightly nervous. This procedure was the only final key to the success of my plan, which had a high possibility of failure. Eventually, Seraph’s beautiful lips slowly opened.

“Yes.”

bingo.

“I will accept user Kim Soo-hyun’s request. It will take exactly 5 minutes and 7 seconds. Then, we will perform the procedure right away.”

“Okay.”

At that moment, ancient letters emitting bright blue light were created in the air in front of my eyes, and soon began to spin around my body as if drawing an oval. At the same time, my son-in-law felt an auditory hallucination as if he was hearing the solemn voices of shamans.

5 minutes later. The ancient letters slowly circling around me, one by one, seeped into the area near my heart.

Even though it’s the heart, it doesn’t feel particularly painful. Rather, every time a text came in, I felt a little bit more energized. Eventually, I was able to conclude the procedure when the text on the last line came in.

I couldn’t immediately feel what had changed. However, if you use your magic power, you will quickly find out. I immediately started checking my horsepower.

‘Ohh.’

At first, I thought it would be a bit difficult to operate due to the explosively increased horsepower, but I didn’t feel any burden at all. Magical power flowing leisurely along the circuit. The procedure was successful. I felt satisfied with the unexpectedly satisfying performance.

“It’s okay. Seraph? “Please tell me the remaining time.”

“We have 48 minutes and 39 seconds until we reach the rite of passage.”

48 minutes and 39 seconds. I ate a little. Judging by the fact that nothing else was said, Seraph seemed to think there was enough time. But in my opinion, it is tight. The fifth remaining perk was an adventure with a strong gambling nature. Since life cannot be guaranteed, it carries great risk. However, if you consider the necessity, it is a process that can never be avoided. I gathered my shaking heart and thought of the fifth perk.

‘5. User Kim Soo-hyun can select one type of equipment he wants, and there is no limit to the type. However, EX grade equipment cannot be selected.’

In some ways, it was a perk with a fairly wide range of options. Swords, armor, elixirs, accessories, etc. However, if you choose such general things, the meaning of receiving a tattoo from an ancient shaman disappears. The fifth perk was exactly what I needed.

“Hwajeong, the fire of fire would be better. “I’ll take that as the fifth perk.”

“I approve user Kim Soo-hyun’s request… ?”

The ending was strangely uplifting. Seraph changed the ending to an interrogative form and frowned slightly.

‘Could it have happened?’

There is a strong possibility that he realized my intention. Still, the approval request seemed to have been completed successfully, as Seraph held a small bead glowing red in her right hand.

“… … .”

“… … .”

They don’t say anything to each other. But you can tell by looking at Seraph’s eyes. She has no intention of handing me her marbles. As expected, I guess she was right. Seraph had a stern look on her face, and she shot me a reprimanding look. Not to be outdone, I also fixed her expression and looked directly at her.

“User Kim Soo-hyun.”

“Tanay.”

“Of course, yes, but this is a different matter. Even Tanay can advise you if it could cause harm to you.”

“It must be interference under the guise of advice. Stop talking nonsense and give it to me. I need a fire spirit. “Do you think I’m crazy and gave up other good treatments and received strict treatments from ancient shamans?”

This is why I hate Seraph. There were many cases where we ended up fighting over what to give anyway, and ended things with each other’s feelings hurt. When I remembered that time, the habitual harsh words rose to the top of my throat. However, before we parted ways, her eyes, which were looking at me with affection, suddenly passed through her head. I reflexively closed my mouth and listened. I wanted to at least listen to what he had to say.

“I admire your creativity. It’s truly amazing that humans came up with this idea. But that’s it.”

“… … .”

“User Kim Soo-hyun. “I wonder how much you know about the flame of fire.”

“… “Can you set everything on fire?”

“It’s similar. Another name for the flame of fire is eternally burning flame. The most destructive fire known to the world is said to be the burning of hell. However, this pure fire collection, Hwajeong, contains a power that is dangerous enough to be compared to its equal. This is literally a fire for destruction.”

“I know. “I’m asking because I know everything.”

“Durability value 92. Magic power value 90. Expected success rate 21%. If the ancient shaman’s imprint is included, the expected success rate is 42%. In other words, there is a 58% chance of failure, which is more than half.”

Seraph was desperately trying to persuade me. But no matter how hard he tried, the privilege was ultimately Tanay level. She may be able to give her advice, but she can’t stop me from making decisions. So, I stretched out my right hand and confidently asked for Hwajeong.

“You just have to succeed.”

Even though I said it, it was something I said in a very comfortable way. Perhaps Seraph’s outfit is changing by now? I talked about it as much as I could, but it didn’t make any difference. She was now begging almost to the point of clinging.

“It’s a problem even if you succeed, let alone fail. If you fail, you lose everything and become a wreck. Even if you succeed, there will definitely be unexpected disadvantages.”

“I think I read that all equipment except EX grade will be provided. “Was Hwajeong of EX rank?”

“Originally, the fire spirit was EX grade. This means that it is equipment that exists in the hole plane but cannot appear. However, it is difficult to obtain, and although it was lowered to S grade through balancing work, the risk has disappeared… .”

If things continue like this, there will definitely be no end. She felt very tired, so she raised her hand and stopped her. I would like to listen to it until the end if possible, but the time left is too short. Or, it suddenly occurred to me that Seraph could drag on like this and drag on to the rite of passage.

“I don’t want to blush anymore.”

“It’s difficult even with durability and magic stats over 90, but stamina is only 78. “I understand the confidence, but I want you to see the reality.”

Of course, I know what Seraph is worried about. Her concern was warm enough that an ordinary person would be moved at least a little by that earnest persuasion. But I can’t do that. She would rather give up something else, but she was prepared to give up on this one. If I give up on Hwajeong like this… .

“The recovery time is not easy. “If I wait any longer, I will enter the rite of passage in a half-corpse state.”

“User Kim Soo-hyun.”

“I won’t say any more. “I will definitely request the Flame Flame.”

In the end, I ended up coldly disobeying him. Perhaps he had sensed something unusual or could no longer resist Tanay, but Seraph slowly wiggled his fingers. Her face was still full of dissatisfaction, but soon she turned her anger towards me. However, she did not give it kindly.

“Even if you succeed, there will definitely come a day when you regret it.”

“okay… .”

Thumping.

Hwajeong of fire. A collection of pure fire. Flame that burns forever.

No preparation is required. It’s been a long time since I made up my mind, and if you count the storm that follows, there isn’t much time left.

Hwajeong drew a thin crimson trail and fell straight into my mouth.

gulp.

I finally got Hwajeong. Hwajeong finally came into my arms. Controlling the surge of relief and joy, I quickly looked inside.

Grumbling.

As I moved my throat once, I felt a round bead traveling down my esophagus.

From now on, the real crisis began.
