Episode 78
[Mark of the Martial Artist]
-Type: Material
-Rating: Epic
-It’s a sign of a martial artist.
It was the mark of a martial artist.
Not just a sign, but a full sign.
‘As expected… … In order to obtain the restored sign, I had to receive Kairos’s approval.’
Jeonghoon obtained the Mark of a Martial Artist after hunting the boss in the original dungeon, the Tower of Mu.
At that time, the dungeon boss was not Kairos.
Still, since I had obtained a fragment of the martial artist’s mark, I thought that if I could gain his approval, I could obtain the mark more quickly.
And that thought hit the mark perfectly.
“You deserve this.”
“……thank you.”
[You have acquired the Mark of the Martial Artist.]
[You can perform new quests.]
A red question mark blinked above Kairos’ head.
Hidden Quest!
‘Is it possible to obtain a completed token?’
To create the perfect Overlord Titan, it was necessary to collect all the tokens.
Jeonghoon’s intuition tells him.
That quest must be completed.
[Hidden Quest: Mark of a Completed Martial Artist]
-Restrictions: Those who have received Kairos’s approval
-Reward: Token of a Completed Martial Artist
-Description: Endure Kairos’ training.
“Of course, this sign is only half the story.”
“Is there a way to complete the sign?”
“Would you understand if I said that I have the sign rather than the method?”
Kairos has brought out a new sign.
[Sign of a Completed Martial Artist]
-Type: Material
-Rank: Unique
-It is a sign of a perfect martial artist.
It was the mark of a accomplished martial artist.
“… …Can I get this?”
“Of course. However, I can’t just give it to you. If you return the martial artist’s mark you currently have and endure all the training I offer, I will give it to you.”
“What if you can’t stand it?”
“I’ll give up on the token and just give you a rare grade knuckle. Take that and go back.”
The intention was to tell them to be satisfied with the sign of the martial artist and return if they were afraid.
Of course, Jeong-Hoon had no intention of going back like this.
“Let’s start right now.”
Kairos burst into hearty laughter at that gesture.
“Okay! Be prepared!”
* * *
A week has passed since Jeonghoon and Nayeon joined the guild.
Bang! Bang!
The magic bullet pierced the monster’s forehead.
“Kkuweek!”
The monster with its head pierced died immediately.
Yeo Min-ji couldn’t help but be impressed by his perfect shooting skills.
“Wow… … You’re really amazing.”
“Is that so?”
The main character of the shooting was Lee Na-yeon, who joined Hoyoung this time.
As Jeong-Hoon’s mother, she was working hard to level up with Ho-Young’s support.
After working hard to level up for a week, Inayeon was already close to reaching level 30.
“Yes! At this level, I think I can advance to at least rare rank?”
It wasn’t just flattery.
Yeo Min-ji met various leaders as she started New World.
Among them, the shooting skills of Seo Eun-soo, a gold medalist in the national shooting team, were so outstanding that they are still unforgettable.
I used to think that no one could match his shooting skills, but today that idea was shaken.
‘Wow… It’s been over 20 years since you quit playing, and yet you’re at this level.’
I was surprised when I first saw her, but after a week, Inayeon’s shooting skills grew explosively.
To be precise, it is about regaining the skills of your prime.
Is this possible?
“Haha, thank you. But what’s up with you today?”
“Oh, you’re about to reach level 30, right? So I’m going to help you with your job change!”
“Oh, really?”

Of course, Yeo Min-ji won’t come forward herself.
Before coming here, she bought all the fields so that Inayeon could easily complete her previous quest.
The method of purchase was simple.
It involves visiting each user who wants to use the field, paying them gold, and asking them to vacate the field.
At first, the users didn’t seem too pleased with it, but once I gave them 50 gold, they stopped coming near it.
“Yes. If there’s anything you don’t know, please let me know at any time! And this is information on how to advance to a rare rank. I brought it here in case you need it.”
The process of moving up to rare rank in a previous quest is the same.
Clear the dungeon in the Hall of Commanders within the time limit.
Yeo Min-ji was confident that Na-yeon Lee had the skills to advance to the rare rank.
If you can rise to the rare rank from your first job advancement, it can be seen as a huge harvest in Hoyoung.
This means that we have recruited a leader with limitless potential to become a hidden class martial artist.
‘I won’t mind, so you take the lead and do it.’
Yeo Soon-woo didn’t show her face at all.
Since we decided to leave this decision entirely up to Yeo Min-ji, we will wait and see for the time being.
“Oh, it’s okay. I already received something from Jeonghoon.”
“Really? That’s really fast… … .”
As expected, it’s Jeong Hoon.
You went to the top after making thorough preparations.
But if the exam was over a long time ago, why haven’t I heard from you yet?
I whispered several times but got no response.
“Anyway, thank you.”
“… … No. I just did what I had to do. What.”
“Of course… … I’m so grateful for what I’ve received so far. Anyway, thank you for getting along well with our Jeonghoon.”
“Rather, I should be grateful!”
“You speak so beautifully. I wish I had a daughter like Minji.”
Mother… … .
When she was very young, her mother died in an accident and she lived with her father.
That’s why I felt a little strange when I was talking to Inayeon.
Would it have felt like this if I had a mother?
I suddenly missed my mother, whose face I couldn’t even remember.
* * *
A week.
Kairos treated Jeonghoon very harshly for a week.
Morning training, afternoon training, evening training, dawn training, no sleep time.
Of course, there was no food, and water was provided by a nearby river.
It was a grueling schedule that even the best dancers couldn’t endure.
Nevertheless, Jeong-Hoon carried out his schedule without complaint for a week.
‘What a monster.’
Kairos was filled with amazement as Jeonghoon endured each day.
“Can you do more… … ?”
“yes.”
“Okay, then let’s begin.”
As soon as Kairos gave his order, Jeong-Hoon climbed the mountain, dragging a rock weighing 1,000 kg.
I climbed this mountain back and forth 42 times in one week.
Still, Jeonghoon’s speed did not die down at all.
‘Does this make sense?’
His training was originally aimed at developing mental strength to the limit.
To do that, you have to push your body to its limits, but no matter how you look at it, Jeong-Hoon’s body doesn’t reach its limits.
‘Who on earth is the author? … How can you endure this?’
Kairos felt a shiver run through his body.
Before he became the master of the tower, he heard the legend of martial arts from the previous tower master.
[When the descendants of God appear, everything will be set right.]
Descendants of God.
It was a prophecy that he would appear in a dizzying world and bring peace.
At the time, I thought it was ridiculous and just ignored it, but when I saw Jeong-Hoon, for some reason, the legend kept coming to mind.
“I’m back.”
The round trip took 3 hours.
Jeonghoon still hadn’t exceeded that time.
“… … Aren’t you tired?”
“Yes, I can do more.”
Jeonghoon was still able to hold on.
The reason is that the body continues to recover with divine power.
The lack of divine power was supplemented by purchasing potions from the achievement shop, and the divine power prevented health from decreasing and also eliminated the debuffs that occurred due to fatigue accumulating on the body.
But the mind has long since reached its limit.
Jeonghoon’s original body was in the capsule. If he played the game for a long time, he should come out and rest, but he trained for a week without resting.
It had been a long time since I had reached the point of extreme fatigue.
If I continue training here, I’ll probably collapse.
But I couldn’t give up the martial artist’s mark.
“… … Okay. This is the end of the first training.”
Fortunately, Kairos has completed the first training.
This is because the first training schedule was originally one week.
“What about the second one?”
Jeonghoon was ready to start the second training right away.
But Kairos shook his head.
“I’m going to rest for three days. Even though my body is fine, I feel quite mentally exhausted, so I need to rest. Resting is also a form of training.”
I tried not to show it, but it looks like they’ve already figured it out.
Jeonghoon nodded obediently.
“……All right.”
“Okay. Then come here to the training ground in three days.”
After saying those words, Kairos entered the tower.
And soon after, Marden approached.
Marden was amazed at the sight of Jeong-Hoon standing still after holding out for a week.
“You are truly a monopoly… … Please follow me. I will guide you to your lodgings.”
“yes.”
Jeong-Hoon followed him into the dorm and immediately threw himself on the bed.
I had no memory after that.
* * *
How much time has passed?
Jeonghoon slowly opened his eyes.
This was on the bed.
It was his own room, not the guest house.
‘I don’t remember anything after I laid down in the room.’
I don’t remember, but I think I logged out, came out of the capsule, and passed out right away.
Jeonghoon took out his smartphone.
“… … A day has passed.”
Looking at the time, I must have slept for almost 28 hours.
Is that natural, after enduring a week without sleeping a wink?
Jeonghoon dragged his aching body out to the living room.
“Are you awake?”
In the living room, my mother was eating fruit.
Next to that mother was a familiar face.
“Huh? Minji? Why are you here?”
The girl who was eating strawberries with a fork was none other than Yeo Min-ji.
Yeo Min-ji met Jeong-hoon’s eyes and smiled awkwardly as she greeted him.
“That’s… I’m sorry for coming all of a sudden.”
“I’m sorry. I brought you here. You must be lonely when you’re alone.”
It seems that he had no choice but to visit because his mother strongly recommended it.
Because Mother doesn’t just turn away people who have shown her kindness.
“I see. Then don’t worry about me and finish eating.”
Jeonghoon quickly went to the bathroom and then came back into the room.
Then Yeo Min-ji carefully knocked on Jeong-hoon’s door.
“Is it okay if I come in for a moment?”
“yes.”
As soon as Jeong-hoon gave permission, Yeo Min-ji entered the room.
“I have some surprising news to tell you.”
Her face and voice were filled with excitement.
“Surprise news?”
“Yes. My mother has completed her first job change!”
“Is that true?”
“yes!”
Is that because you play with Hoyoung’s support?
The leveling speed is definitely fast.
That’s why guild support was important during the beginner stage.
‘I’m glad I got the extra capsules.’
I felt good because my mother seemed to be having fun playing the game.
How fortunate that you are already acclimating to the New World.
If we continue like this, it will be much easier to protect my mother in the future.
“So what’s the result?”
If Yeo Min-ji is saying that, it means that she is very satisfied with her mother’s previous job results.
I had already seen my mother’s shooting skills once, so I expected that they were not of the average level.
The question is whether it is rare or epic.
“Don’t be surprised… … It’s a hidden class! A hidden class! And it’s even epic grade!”
“Is that true?!”
Jeonghoon opened his eyes wide at her answer.
I had expected it to be up to epic level, but the hidden class was something I completely unexpected.
‘How did you do it?’
Only one hidden class appears.
And I know that all of the hidden classes of the commander have been revealed.
That’s why I couldn’t tell my mother about the hidden class, so how could she… … .
“Yes! I was so surprised when I first heard it.”
“What is your job title…?”
“The sniper of creation.”
The sniper of creation.
It’s a job I’ve never heard of.
This means that a hidden class that did not appear before the regression has appeared.
‘My mother’s past has changed.’
And that too, perfectly.
