Episode 21
Strengthen (1)
Humans like rankings. It is the truth regardless of time and place.
If you study, study.
If it’s a sport, it’s a sport.
Even the size of the country’s economy.
In all these fields, it was humans who lined up from first to last.
And it was the same in the user world.
Who are the strongest users?
Many people were curious, but few could find out. Because the user was too strong.
The user’s force can easily kill the same user. Because of this, if they compete with each other with all their might, accidents will inevitably occur. In a martial arts novel, accidents that occur during sparring are the person’s responsibility.
Even in modern society, that is not possible. Confrontations between users were extremely rare.
But human desire somehow came up with a solution.
mana virtual.
A device that can implement competition between users has been developed. After the invention of this device, it was a natural trend for competitions between users to become sports. Just like boxing, a league was created and a ranking was created. Many users combined dungeon expeditions and professional Mana Virtual Players. Mana Virtual is currently the most unrivaledly popular sport on Earth.
The association’s underground training room.
Two men were facing each other in a virtual space.
A man standing holding a two-handed sword. Han Sang-hyuk smiled and said to Jeong-do.
“I’m sorry for asking you if you were scared. “I really want to meet you sometime.”
“… … .”
Jeongdo didn’t respond, but just held up his spear and took a stance.
“Orc Lord Slayer… If it’s true, it’s good to learn something, or it’s just a way to show off your strength in front of the team leader. “It felt good to do anything.”
Do-do’s eyes sank coldly at his selfish words.
Sanghyuk said, still smiling as he saw Jeongdo like that.
“Wow, I guess I was really hated… yes!”
Han Sang-hyuk, who was smirking, suddenly swung his sword at Jeong-do.
No, more accurately, I was trying to swing it.
Shoo!
Kwasik!
“… uh?”
Before he could even react, a stab with such terrifying speed pierced Sanghyuk’s chest.
Sanghyuk looked down blankly at the spear that had pierced his chest.
“What is this…?” .”
Those four letters.
These were Han Sang-hyuk’s last words before his avatar turned gray.
The success was achieved in the association’s underground training room.
The battle between Class C and Class E is
He was an E-class super-killer.
When Jeong Do came out of the Mana Virtual, the training room was as quiet as a mouse.
Jeong-do paid no heed to the atmosphere and spoke to Sang-hee.
“manager. Today’s tour will end here. “I’ll just go.”
Sanghee suddenly came to his senses after hearing those words and said.
“ah! “I will see you off.”
“No, it’s okay. “I’ll go alone.”
As soon as he finished saying that, he just walked out without even listening to Sanghee’s answer.
“Whoa… .”
I didn’t feel good about leaving the association.
He didn’t like the fact that Han Sang-hyuk argued with him, and he didn’t like the fact that the result of the sparring reminded him of Jo Hak-rae. But what I didn’t like the most was.
‘A fight without any benefit… .’
It was I who was instantly taken in by such a low-level provocation.
Since when did you become someone who accepts all the criticism that comes your way? Have you become intoxicated with the power you recently gained? Are you saying that I have become a person who has to punish even the smallest of disputes?
‘It’s still a long way away.’
Jeong Do prayed that today’s immaturity would become the foundation for his growth someday.

That night. At least I went out to the park. He was doing it to make a courtesy draw.
After taking the last exam at the academy, my mana total is 23.
Yes.
Finally, after turning 20, you can now use the <Location Draw> twice!
‘It’s a shame it only has 1 mana.’
The mana required to load the wire with <Guaranteed Draw> is 4. If I had just 1 more mana, I would have been able to draw the Destiny Draw twice after loading the wire.
‘There is nothing that is not there.’
No matter how much I regret it, 1 mana that wasn’t there won’t come out. I had to hurry and draw before 12 o’clock. But here again the options were different.
After loading the wire, are you going to proceed with nine information draws and one relationship draw?
Or will we proceed with two relationship draws and three information draws without loading?
‘Umm… ‘It’s difficult.’
The effect of Yoo Seon’s <Kangwoon-lv.2> is not absolute. It feels like ‘the probability of rare items appearing increases greatly!’ for a few days in a Korean lottery game. This meant that the probability went up by a small amount. In fact, I couldn’t feel a clear difference even if I loaded and pulled the wired device.
‘But to ignore it again, Siegfried, who was chosen not long ago, gets caught again… .’

Of course, there was a correction that it was guaranteed to be rare more than 10 times, so it was difficult to say that it was entirely thanks to the wire.
The pleasure of drawing diamonds!
It was hard to forget that taste.
After thinking about it for a while, I made a decision. We decided to do two <relationship drawing>.
‘okay. Let’s not rely on luck.’
If you think about it rationally, as long as there is a ’10 guaranteed rare or higher draw’, it would be better to perform as many bond draws as possible and aim for a stable increase in stats. It was too much of an anxiety factor to rely on one lottery forever. I had to build my own skills.
Jeong Do calmed down and used the <Location Draw>.
Paaaaat!
Hundreds of millions of business cards spread out over your head. It was a majestic sight every time I saw it. One of the business cards that was moving in a circle above Jeong-do’s head fell towards him.
“ah… .”
Jeongdo let out a sigh of regret. The falling business cards had no light whatsoever. It’s easy to get used to it now, but every time I play this lottery, I get excited about the results. Jeongdo opened the status window with a wry smile.
‘No matter what, I have to check who it is.’
Tiring!
Name: Jinjeongdo (Load: Yons)
“hmm?”
A name I didn’t know at all appeared. Actually, it wasn’t anything new. This is because Yoo Seon was the only person who knew about the ordinary business cards that I had picked so far.
‘The most recent plain business card was loaded with peasants from medieval Europe.’
This was a man who was talking about how nasty his lord was throughout the load time. Jeongdo remembered his memory and chuckled.
Since I liked talking to people, I was always looking forward to meeting new people.
What kind of person is this time? Jeong Do asked the king of all diseases.
“hello. “Who are you?”
<Yes? Ah, my name is Yons of the Kingdom of Kromal.>
Jeongdo tilted his head at Yons’ answer.
‘Kromal Kingdom? Was there such a kingdom?’
Well, since he didn’t know the names of all the kingdoms that existed on Earth, there could have been such a kingdom. I thought so and asked again.
“When were you born?”
<I was born in Chrystia 5,728. When he was born, his mother cried so loudly that it woke up everyone in the village. >
Yons said something more, but it was not heard by Do-do’s ears.
‘Christia 5,728 years?’
I asked again, somewhat uncertain.
“What is Chrystia?”
<Is this the name of the goddess we believe in?>
“… … .”
I was certain to that extent.
Yons is the first person from another world that he loaded.
Of course, it wasn’t a huge surprise. Haven’t you already met people from another world called dwarves? However, I was a little surprised because it was my first time loading through a lottery.
‘wait. So, does that mean you can also load an archmage or sword master from another world with the draw?’
Superhumans of another world.
Perhaps they might know the cause of the dungeon phenomenon occurring on Earth.
I also asked Yons, but he was just an ordinary farmer. After chatting a little more, the load time ended.
“Whoa… good. “Just one more time.”
Jeong Do once again performed the <relationship draw>.
Paaaaat!
The business card was opened once again and the result was.
“ah… .”
This time too, the business card had no light at all. The business card was immediately absorbed into Jeong-do’s forehead, and he lowered his head.
“Ugh. “If I had known this would happen, I would have loaded and unplugged the wire.”
<Huh? You mean luggage?>
Yoo Seon’s voice was heard in King of All Diseases.
“… Eh?”
Jeongdo hurriedly opened the status window.
Tiring!
Name: Jinjeongdo
“… what?”
Did you accidentally use a guaranteed draw instead of a fate draw? No, that couldn’t have been the case. I definitely checked the business cards spread out above my head. It was clear that the connection was drawn.
“… no way.”
At least one possibility occurred to me.
“duplication?”
Nonsense! Among those countless business cards, you’re picking out a wired one again?! I ended up loading the characters that were already in the album, using 6 more mana. Jeongdo cursed his luck.
<… Confucius. Wouldn’t it hurt Jim if he looked so gloomy?>
I thought I knew enough about my drawing skills. This game is very similar to the Korean lottery game. It’s a lottery game where the probability is low and sometimes you hit the jackpot, making people look forward to it.
however.
I didn’t know the extent yet.
It was a time when Jeongdo was lamenting over 6 mana.
Tiring!
<You have succeeded in loading the same person for the first time!>
<Prince Liu Zen will be strengthened by +1!>
<As a reward, you have acquired the skill <Combination Draw>.>
“… uh?”
There is no way that strengthening elements are missing from the Korean lottery game.
