Episode 74
Green Capsule (2)
In fact, I expected that once the ability level rose to a certain level, it would no longer increase.
Because the weight of ability score 1 at a low level and ability score 1 at a high level is different.
‘The universe secretly cares about balance.’
Even if you just pick up gold, your stats will steadily increase regardless of your level. There was no need to say how much this upset the balance.
So, as expected, the brakes were applied, but the real universe provided another opportunity.
If you want to increase your abilities further, achieve greater feats!
And that feat appeared in the form of a job change quest. I calmly looked at the contents of the green capsule.
<You have reached a level where you can raise your level. You can take the test now!>
<Two days later. Clear the newly appearing dungeon. The exact coordinates are… >
“Have you cleared the dungeon?”
It is a standard mission. The time is two days later. Since the date hadn’t changed yet, I actually had a free day tomorrow.
‘First of all, I’ll have to go on another expedition tomorrow and prepare in my spare time.’
Yuseon, who had read those thoughts at that time, shouted.
<Confucius! Please call me tomorrow too!>
“yes. Well sir.”
* * * * * *
The next morning.
Jeong Do, Seoyoon, and Hae Joon were gathered in front of the dungeon just like yesterday. Jeong Do began a brief briefing before entering the dungeon.
“Today is also a C-class annihilation dungeon. Just like yesterday, I will only play a supporting role. Anyone have any questions?”
“doesn’t exist! “Let’s get started quickly, brother!”
“… doesn’t exist.”
As always, Haesik was full of motivation and Seoyoon was quiet. Jeongdo smiled slightly at the consistent appearance and spoke to the two people.
“good. Starts in 1 minute. As always, stay alert and put safety first.”
After a while.
Jeong Do and his team went on an expedition and immediately encountered a group of monsters.
<Go! Soldiers!>
The battle began with Yu Seon’s powerful shout.
“Uracha!”
Haesik easily repelled the approaching skeleton soldiers. And there is a momentary gap before the bounced skeletons regain their posture. Seoyoon did not miss the opportunity and stabbed in.
“bout!”
Seoyoon’s gauntlets, filled with a soft light, exploded on the skeleton’s head.
The sound of bones splitting echoed through the dungeon. Although they are classified as undead, skeletons, unlike zombie-type monsters, do not stop immediately just because their heads are broken. Much more persistent. Therefore, the standard method of treatment was to crush the joint with a blunt object so that it cannot move at all, but…
Bye!
The skeleton that was hit by Seoyoon immediately collapsed. The degree looked at him and nodded his head.
‘As expected.’
In fact, for Seoyoon’s level, a C-level dungeon would be too much. In fact, in yesterday’s expedition, Seoyoon did not inflict much damage to Blood Boar. If it weren’t for Yoo Seon’s <Conduct> talent, he probably wouldn’t have gotten the deal.
So today, Jeong Do went out of his way to find an undead C-class dungeon.
And the result, as you can see, was a huge success.
The <Saint> talent was naturally the opposite of the undead.
Haesik stably blocks the enemy and breaks his stance. And without missing the gap, Seoyun stabs him. It was a simple but effective combination.
“Ha!”
Bye!
The skeleton crumbles with Seoyoon’s brief cheer. Before we knew it, the two had cleared out a group of skeletons. Haesik briefly expressed his admiration.
“Hwiyu. Why does it seem like today is easier than yesterday? older brother?”
“That’s because Monster and Seoyoon are good compatibility. Still, don’t let your guard down.”
“yes. Sure.”
As Haesik said, progress was much faster than yesterday. As Jeong Do said, it was because of compatibility, but in fact, there were other reasons as well.
Two swords held in Jeongdo’s hands.
Twin dragon sword.
<The hidden effect of the twin dragon swords is activated. Check the talent <Command-lv.3>. The abilities of allies within a certain space are additionally increased.>
This was because the effect of the Twin Dragon Sword, which was not taken out yesterday, was being applied.
Command, twin dragon swords, and Seoyoon’s buff.
As all the buffs overlapped, Seoyoon and Haesik were showing combat power that was at least one grade higher than that of users of the same level.
thud!
Block it.
Bye!
Break it.
Thump, bang. Thump, bang.
Skeletons fell one after another in a certain rhythm.
‘They say that in ancient wars, drums were played to raise the morale of the allies… ‘
Now they were beating skulls instead of drums. Occasionally, there were skeletons hiding and trying to make a surprise attack.
<Oh! master! I can sense the malice over there!>
Most of them were exposed by Ixia, who had released the seal one step further. The team advanced without hesitation. I reached the end of the dungeon without any difficulty.
‘No matter what, isn’t this a bit harsh?’
Although it is said to have various advantages, undead monsters are a dungeon that is evaluated as more difficult than dungeons of the same level. Although the pace was faster than yesterday, it was too fast.

‘No, there’s no need to compare it to yesterday, even compared to right after entering the dungeon today, I’m much stronger.’
This is a growth rate that makes no sense in common sense. Jeongdo used observation towards Seo-yoon.
Name: Seo-yoon Yoon
Level: 24
Mana reserves: 42
Strength: 37 Stamina: 41 Reflexes: 42 Mana Sensitivity: 49
Talent: <Saint-lv.2>, <Monk-lv.2>, <Martial Arts-lv.2>, <White Magic-lv.2>, <Beauty-lv.2>, <Blunt Skills-lv.1> , <Magic-lv.1>, <Faith-lv.1>… and 3 others.
Possessed skills: <Absolute Shield>, <All Recovery>, <Saint’s Protection>, <Penetration Glass>
“100 million?!”
I was so shocked that I couldn’t stop making noises.
“older brother?! “Is this an enemy attack?”
“brother?”
“Oh, no. Sorry I lost my step for a moment. Sorry.”
“Oh, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. “I do it often too!”
“… “My brother is not at that level.”
Something happened for a moment, and I was lost in thought. Seoyoon’s level, which I checked yesterday, was clearly 12. However, the level doubled in just one day. This time, Jeongdo used observation toward the sea eclipse.
Name: Kang Hae-sik
Level: 45
“… … .”
Up 7 levels compared to yesterday. Considering the level difference, I leveled up similar to Seoyoon, or even higher than Seoyoon. This was the reason why the dungeon went much easier than yesterday.
‘It’s a huge level.’
It was something that could not have happened according to existing common sense. Has it become possible to level up in dungeons after the second cataclysm? No, that couldn’t have been the case. If that were the case, the user industry would already be excitedly talking about it. The degree asked two people.
“Did you guys update the information on Awaker yesterday?”
Both of them shook their heads when asked about the degree.
“no. “I forgot yesterday and just went home.”
“I was tired too, so I just went back.”
“That’s right.”
The parties involved were also unaware of their current levels. That means there was a high possibility that the level had risen due to external factors.
And the most likely external factor is that.
‘I guess it’s me.’
After unloading the wire, I opened the status window and checked the skill items.
<Kaumka’s fighting spirit.>
The skill that removed a certain amount of experience penalty was blinking as if asking me to press it. Jeongdo tapped the skill reflexively.
<When dealing with an opponent of a higher level than you, all abilities increase by +5. Experience penalty has been removed. (Currently being applied to parties.)>
Although a few more letters were added to the same description as before, the results brought by those few letters were enormous.
Following the ability level buff, there is also an experience level increase buff. It was the birth of the best supporter and bus driver.
* * * * * *
Jeong Do and his teammates had arrived in front of the boss room. Jeongdo once again loaded the wire from the album.
<Hmm. Confucius. Now there are almost no restrictions on calling luggage.>
It was just as Yoo Seon said. His current status was 91 mana and 99 for all other abilities. Thanks to the explosive increase in mana and mana sensitivity, low-level characters like Yoo Seon can maintain the load for hours.
“Okay then. Proceed to the boss room. “Everyone is very nervous.”
With those words, Jeong-do forcefully opened the door to the boss room.
Cooung.
A being made of bones located in the exact center of the boss room.
On his head he wore a leather helmet studded with pointed studs, and he held pointed stilettos in both hands.
Skeleton General.
A boss monster famous for making opponents lose their minds with its agile movements. Even among Class C, it had a reputation for being picky.
“Grrrrgh!!!”
The Skeleton General, recognizing that three people had entered the boss room, screamed and rushed towards the group. The speed was so fast that it was impossible to imagine that it could be achieved by a bone without even a single muscle.
“Where!”
However, this side was also fully prepared. Haesik stood at the head of the team and blocked the Skeleton General’s path. As a result, the boss monster hits the shield…
Tadat!
It didn’t work! As if the Skeleton General had been expecting this, he stepped on his shield and went straight over Haesik’s head.
“Huh?!”
Startled, Hae-sik turned around, but the boss monster had already escaped Hae-sik’s hands. Skeleton General’s Stiletto radiated sharp anticipation and aimed at one person.
Seo-yoon Yoon.
Although she had no reason, the Skeleton General felt that she was his natural enemy and was the first to eliminate her. Seoyoon’s reaction was a bit slow, as she probably didn’t think she would come over the shield, and because of that, she failed to increase the distance between her.
Shoo!
Just before the stiletto touches Seoyoon’s forehead.
Taean.
A translucent membrane blocked the stilettos.
<Absolute Shield.>
The highest level defense skill that Seoyoon first learned was activated. The skeleton seemed to be embarrassed by the sudden shield and tried to stab it several times, but all of them were blocked by the shield.
This is a shield that withstood Jo Hak-rae’s attacks several times even when Seo-yoon had just learned the skill. It was impossible to pierce it with just the thrust of a C-class boss monster’s attack.
And Haesik did not miss that opportunity.
“this guy! How dare you step on the shield your brother gave you as a gift?!”
Haesik swung his shield behind the skeleton’s back and activated the skill.
<Shield Stun>
This is a skill that uses a shield as a weapon to cause a stun with a certain probability. The stun probability is proportional to how cleanly the shield hits the opponent. Now, the Skeleton General is attacking Seoyoon and turning its back on Haesik. Of course, Haesik’s skill landed very neatly on the skeleton’s back.
Quang!
And as the stun exploded, the skeleton that was hitting the shield stumbled. Haesik shouted.
“good! Got caught! You, this bastard, are about to die… ”
Haesik tried to attack the skeleton with his shield once again, but there was one who moved faster than Haesik.
Seoyoon.
She let out a short, strong sigh with cold, sunken eyes.
“Haaaaa!”
Seoyoon filled up the mana and stomped on the right knee joint of the skeleton, which was momentarily unable to move due to the stun.
Flutter!
The skeleton’s knees broke and its posture collapsed. However, Seoyoon seemed to have no intention of allowing her to fall gracefully, so she quickly struck the second and third blows.
Bah!
Seoyoon’s right hand dug into the ribs under the skeleton’s left armpit.
Perseuseok!
Seoyoon’s left knee broke the right side of the skeleton. And the following clean spinning kick hit the skeleton’s chin. Before I knew it, Seoyoon’s boots were filled with a soft white light.
and.
Wow.
The head of the skeleton that was floating in the air hit the ground, and at the same time, the headless body of the skeleton slowly fell to the ground. It happened in an instant after Haesik’s stun hit. At that sight, the two men, or rather the two men and the two personalities, were speechless.
“… … .”
“… … .”
<… Modern women and children are scary.>
<Awesome!>
Jeong Do and Haesik pledged not to offend Seoyoon, and thus the expedition ended.
* * * * * *
next day.
At some point, we had arrived at the location indicated by the capsule. Needless to say, it was to take the exam.
Jijijijik.
“That’s accurate.”
The dungeon appeared exactly at the time indicated by the green capsule. Jeongdo used observation on the dungeon that appeared in front of him.
Tiring!
Dungeon name: Ordeal
Number of people limited: limited to 1 person
Difficulty: Unknown.
Type: Special mission type.
Monster that appears: Unknown.
Hidden Information: This is a secret dungeon prepared by someone for just one person. Anyone who is not eligible will not be able to enter.
“It’s a special mission type… .”
They are advertising it very openly that it is difficult. Jeong Do grinned and checked the time on his watch before going in. It was an analog clock prepared because electronic devices sometimes did not work in the dungeon. I always wore it when I was working in sales, where being on time was very important, but I rarely used it after working as a user, but I took it out today.
‘Now that I think about it, the most recent time I was kicked was when I visited Haesik’s house?’
I was surprised because I never imagined that Haesik’s older brother would be the biggest celebrity in Korea.
‘It’s been over a month. ‘Time flies.’
this. I felt like I became emotional for no reason before a big dungeon. Jeongdo shook his head and checked the time.
The current time is 10:27 am.
Jeongdo entered the dungeon without hesitation.
and.
“Welcome, human from another world!!!”
What welcomes you is a green forest.
<… Is it a new head?>
They were a member of the Bird People tribe whose entire body was made up of muscles.
