137. Evolution
After the tower was created, mankind’s interest in the tower was not simply because a new, unknown region had been created.
Not long after the tower was built, there was a relic that was said to have been discovered by someone who entered the area. That relic was what opened up a new era of conquering the tower.
A stone that embodies imagination. A thread that stretches infinitely and cannot be cut. Even an hourglass that turns back time, which is said to exist somewhere.
In addition, it was full of relics of unknown utility and unknown things whose principles were unknown. As time passed, the value of the area called the tower became infinite.
Because it was full of new worlds connected to the tower, and new resources that did not exist on Earth.
‘The Closing of Possibilities’ was also one of the earliest discovered relics, and was particularly famous in the Hunter’s League.
This was because it was an artifact that brought out the potential to its limit and gave the hunter a starting point for further development.
“If the player is the fertile soil… … this ‘closing of possibilities’ can be likened to planting a seed so that new talent can grow by borrowing the power of that soil.”
“So does that mean I might gain new abilities?”
Was it because Kim Do-jun realized that this was a huge opportunity that did not come easily? He asked with shining eyes.
“I’m not sure, but… … there are often cases where new abilities are gained depending on one’s aptitude.”
‘Even if he is Chairman Lee Geun-taek, I never thought he would rescue that relic… ‘
To be honest, I was a little surprised. ‘Closing the Possibilities’. It is one of the most famous relics in the hunter industry for its effects. It is clear that it was a relic that had never entered Korea before the return.
“… … So. Do you feel something?”
Chairman Lee Geun-taek looked at me as I opened the box wide and released the mana circuit and spoke.
“What does it feel like?”
“Hey… … .”
While looking at Chairman Lee Geun-taek, who was stroking his chin as if something was bothering him.
Suddenly, a new energy surged through my body, which had been so calm and numb.
As if a hole had opened to suck in water, swirling and sucking it in, I felt a strong flow of mana near my danjeon.
‘… … .’
I thought I could hear a strong sound of water in my ears, but it seemed like only I could hear it, as no one else seemed to react.
And within seconds, I definitely felt lighter.
Rather, what had previously felt like carrying a heavy sandbag felt incredibly refreshing.
I unconsciously raised my hand and looked at it, and Chairman Lee Geun-taek seemed to sense something and snickered.
“It looks like my steps weren’t in vain though.”
It was only when I observed myself through [Piercing Eyes] that I was able to see the exact change.
[skill]
[Full bloom: B]
: Status growth is accelerated by increasing the skill level of Manbong.
: As the skill level of Bloom increases, the performance of the bloomed keyword skills is enhanced.
I thought I had been having a hard time playing the game in Part 2, but Mankai’s rank, which had never gone up, had suddenly gone up one level.
And as the rank of Mankai increased, naturally other abilities also became stronger.
[Full Bloom – Talent Blossom: The One Who Speaks and Strikes (Augmentation: Rank B)]: If you declare where you want to hit your opponent in advance and hit them, the destructive power will be doubled.
[Full Bloom – Talent Bloom: Ether (Augmentation: Rank B)]: You can directly create Ether using mana. The mana required to create Ether is reduced.
[Bloom – Talent Blossom: Legendary Sniper (Augmentation: Rank B)]: The accuracy of long-range sniping increases dramatically. [Guided Shot (Medium)]: You can use medium-level guided shots.
[Full Bloom – Talent Bloom: Commander of the Same Bed Dream (Augmentation: Rank B)]: You can completely share what you are imagining with your opponent. If you touch someone physically, the image will be transmitted even if they do not want to accept it.
[Full Bloom – Talent Bloom: Perfect Body (Augmentation: Rank B)]: You master the handling of your own body. You have no difficulty in visualizing or embodying movements. Even if you handle your body in a limiting situation, your ability to handle it is not greatly affected.
[Piercing Eyes: S(S+)]
[Magic Engineering Weapon Conversion: A]
[Strength: 7.5]
[Reaction speed: 9.6]
[Flexibility: 8.2]
[Stamina: 8.0]
[Regeneration: 7.4]
[Mana amount: 9.0]
There were certainly many things that made my eyes pop.
There were many parts where the ability of [Man-bok – Talent Blossoming: The One Who Speaks and Strikes], which was not used often due to its ambiguous performance in the past, was changed, and in addition, there were many parts where the ability was expanded or its usability improved overall.
‘Is it possible to use new personal strategies that were not available before?’
I could understand to some extent why it was so difficult to rank up Mankai without using such a special item.
Was he smiling unconsciously while sensing my ability? Before he knew it, his gaze was drawn this way.
In particular, Chairman Lee Geun-taek’s gaze stood out.
Well, it probably wasn’t something that even Lee Geun-taek could easily borrow, but I’d be interested in hearing at least some of the story behind its effectiveness.
“Maybe I can show you a completely new side of myself.”
Perhaps, this is what Lee Geun-taek wanted to say as well.
So I said this and handed the box over to another team member, and they opened it like a Christmas gift box and were greeted with a change.
In my case, I have [Piercing Eyes], but in the case of other guys, maybe it was because they didn’t know exactly what had changed even though they had changed?
I definitely felt lighter, but I didn’t feel a drastic difference.
“I’m not sure if there has been any change in ability… … .”
Most of the reactions were of the same hesitant nature.
‘Well, that’s generally what a hunter’s ability is.’
Of course, in the case of our team, it wasn’t a big problem because I could just personally look into each issue with my [piercing eyes] and let them know.
However, Lee Geun-taek heard those words and spoke as if he had been waiting for them.
“Huh… … Still, it is a very valuable gift, so shouldn’t I check its effectiveness?”
“That means… … .”
Lee Geun-taek made a gesture as if he was stretching his body and pointed to the nearby building, the Hunter Union Training Center.
“I don’t know if I’ve gained new abilities or gotten stronger right now, but once I try, I’m sure I’ll feel something. Everyone, come along.”

Anyway, he seems like a combative grandfather.

It’s been quite a while since PER came up to the second division and came to the Hunter Union Training Center, where the team home has proper practice facilities.
“Wow… … It’s been a really long time since I’ve been here. Old memories are coming back vividly. Didn’t we have a Hunter Survival practice here before, Chang-Hyeon?”
“If I do it now, maybe I can do it better?”
As the team continued to grow, it became clear that everyone was different from before.
‘It’s fortunate that you seem quite confident.’
Of course, if you do Hunter Survival now, it will probably be completely different from last time. In a bad way.
As the team’s weight class increases, the opponents they are matched with will also become much stronger.
“Hehe. You guys are hot-blooded. So. I gave you something so precious, you won’t disappoint me, right?”
“Hahaha. You too, Chairman. I can’t help it. I have no choice but to show you the secret technique I’ve been hiding until now.”
“Hoo… … Is that so?”
Chairman Lee Geun-taek’s eyes lit up at Kim Do-jun’s words.
However, since it’s Kim Do-jun’s ‘big hit’, I won’t be disappointed, but I have a feeling that it’s not a good feeling.
‘What… … The guy will figure it out.’
On the other hand, I also had a lot to try out on this occasion.
A newly transformed ability. How powerful is the ability to declare where to hit in advance and hit.
Does this also apply when shooting with a gun?
And the mana required to create ether has been greatly reduced, so can ether be used as a substitute for mana, like a natural ability?
How good is the legendary sniper’s ability, [Guided Shot]? Is it possible to avoid an opponent’s shield while blocking with a mana shield?
In addition, I thought that the talent development of [Commander of the Ideal Dream] and [Perfect Body] would make new tactics possible.
Of course, that was only a theoretical possibility when I ran a simulation in my head. I needed to actually do it once and verify it.
In that sense, it would be a great opportunity to be able to take on Lee Geun-taek.
“By the way, your team captain has a stiff face. This time, there won’t be any neutral monsters to help you out like last time. Are you scared of that?”
Just as I was about to get a room at the training center and start training, Lee Geun-taek kept talking to me and…
I thought that maybe it was because we had become closer, but we talked a lot more.
But I do know the perfect answer to someone who asks, “Are you scared?”
“Me? Why?”
Let’s smile at Lee Geun-taek. Seeing that, he seemed dumbfounded and shook his head, saying, “Heh heh… ”
Soon, the PER team members, each of whom had yet to fully realize their new abilities or their own status, and I, who had my hands full of things to test out with my newly transformed abilities.
They all gathered together and a light practice match began.
***
In this edition, it wasn’t specifically about practicing team tactics or anything like that, but rather it was a practice for each individual to learn their own status and try out new abilities, so the rules were in the form of an individual match.
‘And since it’s an individual match, there are a lot of enemies to face… … I guess.’
There will be many things to try.
Naturally, in a solo match, everyone is an enemy. So it didn’t take long for me to meet another opponent, but unfortunately, the first opponent I had was Kim Do-jun.
“Tch. Why you of all people?”
Was he secretly expecting a fierce battle with Chairman Lee Geun-taek?
By the way, what new ability did this guy gain with that box?
The moment I was about to use [Piercing Eyes].
“Found a loophole!”
Phew -.
The guy tried to stab me in the eye with that sword without any questions or answers.
Did we let our guard down because we’ve been a team all along?
I was momentarily exposed to such intense light that it was difficult to open my eyes, and even when I did open them, a white afterimage remained.
I was in a state where I was truly dealt a serious blow.
It was the first time.
I was directly affected by that guy’s glare.
I was definitely shocked and embarrassed, but…
‘I can’t just throw this away without even testing it properly.’
Even in a situation where it was too dark to see properly, he repeatedly fired his pistol at Kim Do-jun’s afterimage.
“Keu-keu… Where are you shooting at? Even the best Lee Chang-hyun is helpless in front of me!”
Of course, I shot in a situation where I couldn’t see properly due to the blind spot, so there was no chance of hitting the target accurately.
‘But Dojun… … Do you think I would have shot that without even thinking about it?’
The abilities that have changed and evolved are put to the test for the first time.
