skill
“Excuse me. I mistook the room… There’s no way. “What are you?!”
I opened the door myself with the key and came in. There was no way I had entered the wrong room.
‘thief?’
The degree once again looked at illegal home invaders.
‘I’m definitely not a thief.’
No matter how harsh society was, the world was so unsavory that a woman with such transcendent looks had to make a living by stealing. And more than anything else.
‘What kind of crazy person steals while wearing a maid uniform?’
When Jeongdo was confused, the woman opened her mouth.
“You may be embarrassed, but please calm down.”
“Are you from the association? “Did you say my awakening was wrong today?”
In my opinion, it was the most plausible inference.
“It is true that I came because of awakening, but I did not come from the Association.”
“Then where are you from?”
The woman in maid clothes paused for a moment and then spoke.
“I am… From the ‘real universe.’”
The woman’s answer only added to the confusion.
“therefore… “That person came from a place called ‘real space’ because of my awakening?”
“Exactly. “As expected, you have the insight of a <Communication lv.3> holder.”
No, it’s just an insight or something, but I’m just organizing my words…
I was certain to that extent. This woman is very strange despite her appearance. Of course, her appearance was also strange in the opposite sense.
“So what does the ‘real universe’ do? “Is this some sort of government secret group?”
Although I was quite successful in this industry, it was the first time I had heard of this name.
“I think the explanation will be quite long. Have you ever heard of the holographic universe theory?”
“no. “This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
“To put it simply, this universe that you currently live in is one of countless copies of the real universe. “It’s like a hologram that projects the original.”
Indeed, I was impressed to some extent.
Of course, I was not impressed by the woman’s words, but rather by the woman’s appearance.
‘If the gloomy man had seriously said such nonsense, I would have reported it without hesitation… .’
I thought that I should listen a little more to the nonsense spoken by a woman who is worthy of even being called a peerless beauty. She was a male that could not be helped.
“It takes about 100 million years for a copy universe to be projected from the real universe. This means that not only all the past events that happened here now, but also the future events 100 million years from now are recorded in the real universe.”
okay. So far. Let’s report it. I was in no condition to respond to such an absurd prank.
I made up my mind just as I was about to take out my cell phone.
“Second year of middle school.”
“huh?”
“I shaved my head after doing 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and running 10 km.”
Tuk.
Jeongdo let go of his cell phone and opened his mouth.
“Third year of middle school. I once seriously asked a girl, ‘Are you a vampire?’ just because the hand of a girl I accidentally brushed with was cold. Umm… “Even if it’s just me, this is shocking.”
“ruler… for a moment!”
“As expected, I am a third year middle school student. Have you ever had an eye patch on your eye and a bandage on your hand? ”
“stop!! believe! “I believe it, so stop!”
As the dark history that I had never told anyone about was vividly broadcast, I couldn’t stand it anymore and ended up screaming.
* * * * * *
“… So what is happening to me in the real universe?”
“I have come to give a gift out of respect to the person who embodies the miracle of the beginning.”
“I don’t remember experiencing anything like that. “Aren’t you mistaken?”
Although I did embody the greatest frustration of my life today.
“no.”
However, the woman categorically denied it. And he greeted Jeong Do politely and elegantly.
“I’d like to say hello. A real agent of the universe. “My name is Winry Machina.”
The woman who introduced herself as Winri looked at Jeong Do with a gaze filled with respect.
“For the second time since the creation of the universe, the true universe is giving a gift with infinite respect to the person who has awakened <Communication-lv.3>, so please take it away.”
I couldn’t come to my senses.
“yes? “Is there a reason why communication is so highly regarded?”
At best, isn’t this an auxiliary function that can help the conversation continue more smoothly?
Winry frowned slightly at those words, but soon straightened her expression and spoke.
“… When life was born in the beginning, living things were simple. At best, they would react to stimuli, or slightly higher creatures would move according to instinct. “I just thought alone and moved alone.”
“Convey your thoughts to another place. And it is delivered. Let’s act together.”
Winry spoke to Jeongdo with a very flushed face.
“The first communication between the first living creatures. We created the concept of clusters. “It can be considered a miracle.”
“… … .”
To be honest, it was difficult to realize the extent. In the first place, it is difficult to even know what the real universe is, so even talking about the origin of life and communication on a scale that is confusing is just bewildering.
Still, one thing is certain:
‘It’s not a story that will harm me.’
Don’t they give you free gifts? If so, you should definitely get it.

“hmm… yes. I understand the story. So what gift will you give me?”
“I will give you a skill.”
“What?!””
This time I was really surprised.
skill
Skills are really hard to acquire. There are only two clear conditions for skill acquisition that have been revealed so far.
One is when you first level up.
The other one is a skill stone that is found with a very rare chance in dungeons.
Other acquisition routes were still being studied by world associations.
The value of skill stones is enormous. Some rare skills cannot be purchased with money.
It was not unreasonable for Jeong-do to be surprised to hear that something like that was just given to him.
“Are you giving me a skill stone?”
“no. We will instill the skills directly for you. 3 depending on the number of talents. And even an integrated skill that combines the characteristics of all talents into one. “I will give you a total of 4 skills.”
“Direct injection, what kind of strange thing does that sound like… ”
After saying that, Winry placed her hand on Jeongdo’s forehead.
“… Talents <Communication-lv.3>, <Game-lv.2>, and <Patience-lv.1> have been confirmed. Judging skills appropriate for the talent… ”
“Wait. “What is the talent level?”
Winry continued her work, regardless of how confused she was.
“Skills <Observation>, <Status Window>, and <Resistance> have been assigned. “Integrated skill <Information Draw> has been granted.”
At the end of those words, Winry sighed as if she was tired.
“Whoa… The entire process has been completed. If you activate the skill <Status Window>, you will be able to infer most of the information. Then I will leave. “It was an honor to see the miracle of the beginning.”
“Wait! “I still feel like I have a lot of questions to ask.”
At Jeong-do’s urgent words, Winry turned to Jeong-do.
“I’m tired. sorry.”
With those words, Winry disappeared in an instant.
“… … .”
What kind of absurd thing is this?
There was silence in the room. Isn’t this what it would feel like to be possessed by a ghost?
Jeongdo shook his head and went into confirmation.
“… Status window.”
Tiring!
A hologram window appeared in front of Jeongdo’s eyes along with a sound effect.
Name: Jinjeongdo
Level: 1
Mana reserves: 7
Strength: 15 Stamina: 17 Reflexes: 27 Mana Responsiveness: 15
Talent: <Communication-lv.3>, <Game-lv.2>, <Patience-lv.1>
Possessed Skills: <Information Drawing>, <Observation>, <Status Window>, <Resistance>
“her. “It really works.”
Surprisingly, all those nonsense words were true.
Personal information that can be viewed using Mana Watch appeared in the status window. There were minor differences in how talent levels were displayed, but it was basically the same as Mana Watch.
However, the degree did not disappoint. Because I knew there was a big difference.
‘this… It is reflected in real time!’
Clear evidence is that mana sensitivity has increased by 2 compared to the value measured with Awaker.
The user information displayed on Mana Watch must be updated periodically by Awaker every time you go through a dungeon. Before the update, I had no way of knowing how much I had grown.
While conquering dungeons, you can check your own growth and devise new strategies.
It was clear that it was an enormous advantage.
Jeongdo checked other skills again.
“It’s observation and introspection… “It’s obvious.”
It’s not so much these days, but I used to read comics and novels during my school days. Even if you don’t watch observation or introspection, it’s a video. What’s more important than that right now.
“Gathering information… .”
An integrated skill that possesses the characteristics of all three talents. Jeongdo used the skill right away.
Tiring!
A hologram window appeared,
<Once a day, the first information draw does not consume mana!>
“… “This can’t be right.”
This is a phrase you see often. To be exact, I saw a lot of similar phrases.
“Jatmangem lottery?”
<Game> It was clear that talent had an influence.
A golden round capsule appeared in front of Jeong Do’s eyes, and a holographic window appeared along with the effect of the capsule breaking.
<Acquire rare information!>
<Second week of April 2031. Lotto winning numbers are 1, 11, 17, 26, 37, 39 and bonus number 23.>
“… . uh?”
Jeongdo quickly checked the date on his cell phone.
April 13, 2030.
“This is crazy… .”
It’s crazy. That was the only way I could express it.
‘You can get information about the future!’
Information recorded in the ‘real universe’ that Winry spoke of. Jeong Do developed the skill to communicate with that information.
I thought about it while calming my trembling heart.
‘But what does this have to do with <patience>?’
I understand that it is related to <communication> and <game>. But what about <patience>?
“Well, for now. “Let’s do some more drawing.”
The lottery in front of me was more urgent than such trivial matters. The extent to which I immediately invested mana.
After a total of 6 draws.
Jeongdo clearly realized why <Patience> was included.
* * * * * *
“Ha Mangem level.”
The results of the 6th draw were amazing.
<The cat next door is pregnant.>
<In 102 years, 30 days, 22 hours and 17 seconds, the heaviest rain in the history of the Korean Peninsula will begin.>
<Winry in another dimension is a maid.>
<The woman in room 318 of Kumho Apartment is currently having an affair.>
<17 days later. There is 100 won in the ramen corner of the convenience store in front of my house.>
<The real culprit of the Hwaseong serial murder case is… >
Useless information poured out.
“after… ”
‘I should have expected it when it was a lottery game.’
Is this why <patience> was necessary?
There were two things that Jeong Do found out while collecting information.
Each draw consumes 1 mana.
The capsule shape was different depending on the level of information. The six draws after the golden capsule were all ordinary capsules.
Mana is recovered exactly as much as the total amount of mana you have over 24 hours.
A person with a total mana of 10 recovers 10 over 24 hours. A person with 100 health will recover 100 in 24 hours.
This is why the user’s total mana amount is important.
“OK… Yes, eat up all my mana.”
Now, Jeong-do only has 1 mana left.
I invested my mana with a trembling heart.
Tiring!
<Obtain super rare information!>
A brilliant capsule made of diamonds.
My heart started beating like crazy again.
