2.
Seo Yi-jun also read all the messages about regression.
‘It was said that we are returning to a turning point in history.’
Seo Yi-jun quickly grasped the situation.
‘Not during the cataclysm.’
If it had been during a cataclysm, I would have been crying alone in a disaster shelter like a newborn baby.
This is a studio apartment that I got with the self-reliance fund I received after leaving the orphanage.
So what is the inflection point that the system is talking about?
‘This is my awakening.’
After the Great Cataclysm, all humans awaken to their unique characteristics at noon on their 19th birthday.
‘I didn’t know it was my birthday, so I waited anxiously every lunchtime.’
The current time is 11:30 AM.
There are still 30 minutes left.
Seo Yi-jun took out a pill from the cupboard.
‘sense of touch.’
It feels refreshing on the skin, not the bones.
‘Vision. Hearing.’
The skeleton soldier could see and hear, but the distinct sensations passing through his eyes and ears were dizzying.
‘smell.’
When I opened the package, a medicinal and uniquely sweet smell wafted out.
This was a feeling that a mere skeleton soldier would not dare to experience.
‘taste.’
Seo Yi-jun carefully chewed the medicine.
The chewy texture feels unfamiliar.
It’s not just the five senses.
‘breathing.’
Even the act of breathing feels unfamiliar.
I deliberately tried to express these feelings out loud.
“… … It seems uncomfortable.”
Freshness, novelty, strangeness.
At this point, it’s actually uncomfortable.
… … I guess I lived as a skeleton soldier for too long.
That doesn’t mean I wanted to be a skeleton soldier.
‘I have about two weeks left until I am betrayed by the Commander King and become a skeleton soldier.’
Seo Yi-jun finished eating the medicine and cleared his mind.
Unless you become a skeleton soldier.
What’s next?
‘There is ample information about the future.’
Could it be because the characteristics of the Commander-in-Chief were Seo Yi-jun’s?
Whenever the Commander-in-Chief used a skill related to a trait, what he saw and heard was also shared with the Old Ones.
‘Some of it was told directly by the legionnaires.’
Members of the legion who had traveled to places beyond the reach of the King’s eyes and ears would receive bone grafts and relay information to the three legion commanders and the Old Ones.
And it’s not just information that I’ve heard.
‘I thought bone grafting was a process of growing a bond.’
Through that process, the legionnaires developed special feelings for the Old Ones.
‘It’s true that the Commander King became stronger thanks to that.’
The commander also became stronger.
It was natural.
Thanks to the bone graft, not only has the cooldown for summoning upper-level legionnaires been reduced by half, but a strengthening effect has also been added.
I didn’t like seeing the Master of the Commander brag that the cooldown was reduced and the skill was strengthened thanks to him, even though he didn’t know English.
‘I couldn’t stop because it was for the sake of the legionnaires.’
Seo Yi-jun couldn’t stop.
Yes, that’s right.
The bond that developed through bone grafting was not a feeling that was unilaterally built up by the legionnaires.
Seo Yi-jun also felt attached to the legion that should have originally been his.
Seo Yi-jun made a promise.
‘Let’s start from the beginning this time.’
If you do bone grafting from the beginning, not only will your legion become stronger, but your bond will also deepen.
It’s 12 o’clock.
A semi-transparent system window appears.
[Your trait is [Bone Joint].]
□ [Bone grafting]
– Increases efficiency in bone-related tasks.
Characteristics are determined based on a person’s life history and talents.
Seo Yi-jun’s special trait is [bone alignment].
It was the same as my previous life.
‘I’ve always liked dinosaur skeleton specimens since I was little.’
I wasn’t fascinated by the grandeur and mystery like other kids.

I just liked how the shape of the bones was clearly visible.
‘… … I didn’t know it would become a skeleton itself.’
Seo Yi-jun smiled bitterly.
The trait was acquired.
But this is not awakening.
In modern society, it is quite common to have characteristics.
[You are invited to the trial of awakening.]
Awakening is an expression for the hunter.
The scenery before my eyes changed.
A dark, wide corridor spread out. * * *
A hunter is a person who hunts.
The content of the Trial of Awakening is also simple.
‘I will fight and win against an E-class monster.’
You just need to fight and defeat one monster, such as a goblin, slime, or kobold.
It’s random which one will appear.
Exactly!
I clenched my teeth once and made up my mind.
In his previous life, Seo Yi-jun fought against goblins.
-Kirk, kirk, kiruk!
This time it was a goblin again.
-Keep going!
The goblin slowly closed the distance.
Wedge!
The club flew fiercely.
Seo Yi-jun dodged the attack as if he had read it.
‘It’s visible.’
It’s not that I didn’t read it, I actually read it.
‘The bones are clearly visible.’
The goblin was as skinny as it was agile.
It means that the bones are clearly visible.
It was like giving Seo Yi-jun a heads-up about how he would move.
‘now.’
He took advantage of the goblin’s swing of his club again and dove in.
‘This is the weak point.’
I could also tell which parts of my bones were weak.
And decades of experience in fitting bones has made it possible to do the opposite.
Knock knock!
-Keeeeeeeek?!
Dislocation.
I dislocated my shoulder joint.
Seo Yi-jun’s two hands reached out to the defenseless man’s neck.
Stop!
This time there wasn’t even a scream.
[Pass the Trial of Awakening and awaken as a D-class Hunter.]
[The status window opens.]
[Inventory is opened.]
[Beginner skill book is given.]
‘It was a success.’
Although he passed the ordeal safely, the success that Seo Yi-jun chewed on did not mean awakening.
A reward device that occurs when a certain standard set by the system is met.
‘achievements.’
That’s an achievement.
Without going too far, Seo Yi-jun’s return was also a reward for the achievement of <Impossible, Incomprehensible, Unpredictable>.
There are achievements in the trials of awakening.
[We are evaluating the hunting content, understanding of characteristics, and fighting spirit.]
[Each item is worth 10 points, for a total score of 30 points.]
‘If you get a total score of 25 points, you will receive the <Smooth Start> achievement.’
Achievement reward is 1 point.
Points are used to level up your skills.
Literally, it is possible to have a smoother start than others.
‘I thought so too, but I ended up becoming a skeleton soldier.’
It was an achievement that Seo Yi-jun had also achieved in his previous life.
The types of achievements don’t end there.
‘If you score 27 points, you will receive the <Best Start> achievement and 2 points.’
That’s why.
[Hunting Content: 10/10]
[Characteristic Understanding: 10/10]
[Fighting spirit: 10/10]
[I got full marks in all items.]
[Achievement <Amazing Start> achieved!]
I was looking forward to seeing what the rewards would be for <Amazing Start>, which achieved a perfect score by surpassing previous records.
[You will receive 3 points as an achievement reward.]
The results were very satisfactory. * * *
[The system is connected and is transitioning from the previous timeline…]
When Seo Yi-jun returned to his room, a single message appeared before his eyes.
‘If it’s the previous timeline, then it’s a previous life… … Is there anything I can inherit from there?’
Seo Yi-jun from his previous life was betrayed by the King of Death just two weeks after awakening.
‘If it’s memory and information, it’s there completely.’
At the point where he achieved the <Amazing Start> achievement, he was much better than Seo Yi-jun in his previous life.
‘Well, we’ll know for sure once the succession is over.’
Seo Yi-jun stood in front of the full-length mirror, thinking like that.
“It’s a mess.”
If someone had heard that, they might have frowned.
Seo Yi-jun, who was labeled as a daycare student, was bombarded with gifts on every special day.
An appearance that cannot be called a mess no matter what standard you use.
However, as the oldest skeleton soldier, the Old One who kneaded the bones of the legionnaires, Seo Yi-jun’s vision was different.
face?
It doesn’t catch my eye.
‘My shoulders are not at the right height, my pelvis is rotated, and my spine is also crooked.’
Like when I fought the goblins.
Seo Yi-jun’s eyes were looking thoroughly at the bones.
Stand with your palms facing forward, arms hanging down and feet together.
Anatomical position.
In that state, he carefully examined his own bones.
Everyone has limbs that they use primarily and limbs that they don’t.
It is natural for bones to become somewhat distorted and cannot be forcibly corrected.
From a human perspective, yes.
The skeleton soldier’s perspective is different.
He grabbed his pelvis with both hands.
By pressing the exact point, the [joint] characteristic was demonstrated.
Drumroll!
Pain ran up my spine from the top of my head to the tips of my toes.
“Hot.”
Seo Yi-jun smiled without realizing it.
Pain, that’s kind of interesting.
‘also.’
It’s clear that I’ve been a skeleton soldier for too long.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
I stretched my hips, felt my kneecaps, and rubbed my toe bones.
Knock knock!
It traveled up the spine and cervical vertebrae, massaging the shoulder blades, the bones of both arms, and the bones of the fingers.
“Now it’s worth looking at.”
The human body has muscles and organs, so even if you force the bones to fit together like this, they will go back to their original state.
‘indeed.’
But Seo Yi-jun was hoping for one possibility.
[Acquire the skill [Balanced Skeleton (E)].]
– Maintain a balanced skeleton for 30 minutes, increasing physical abilities.
‘It was a success.’
It was a series of fittings that evolved into a skill.
There are two ways to acquire skills.
1. Use the skill book you receive when your hunter rank increases.
Second, train for several years according to your aptitude.
‘There was a case where a member of the youth archery national team acquired the [Multi Shot] skill on the day he awakened.’
Occasionally, a genius in a specific field awakens and gains skills right away, but this is when the experience gained before awakening shines.
Seo Yi-jun is the same.
I’m not talking about my childhood experience of liking bones more than other people.
‘Because I was an Old One.’
The experience of fitting together the bones of countless legionnaires while living as an Old One has been sublimated into skill.
Here, Seo Yi-jun was thinking of one more trick.
[Awakened and acquired the skill within 12 hours.]
[Achievement <Promising Seedling> achieved!]
[You earn 1 point as an achievement reward.]
It was an achievement.
Although it is little known now.
In the not-too-distant future, this achievement would distinguish between top prospects and average prospects.
‘I’ve already collected 4 points with this.’
but.
‘…hmm?’
Even if there was information before the regression, it didn’t mean that Seo Yi-jun knew everything.
Seo Yi-jun’s prediction was surprisingly wrong.
That is exactly what I mean. ‘Good’.
[The previous achievement <Amazing Start> has been confirmed.]
[You will receive 1 point as a linked reward.]
Preceding achievements. Linked rewards.
‘I never thought there would be such a connection between achievements… … .’
Even Seo Yi-jun didn’t know the truth at first.
A grand total of 5 points.
It only takes 5 points to upgrade an E-rank skill into a D-rank skill.
In general, it was a point that had to be gathered after awakening and hunting for more than a year.
‘Good.’
Satisfied, he opened his inventory and took out a thin book bound in parchment.
Skill book.
This book is given when your Hunter rank increases, and you will also receive one volume when you awaken as a D-rank Hunter.
The skill book contains skills suited to its owner on each page, and you can acquire one of them by tearing it off.
‘What you will learn is decided from the beginning.’
There is no need to worry.
Boohoo!
Seo Yi-jun tore off a piece of parchment.
The parchment turned a grayish-white color and permeated Seo Yi-jun’s body.
The first step towards building a legion.
[Acquire the skill [Summon Skeleton Soldier (E)].]
-Summons 1 Skeleton Soldier (F) from a monster’s corpse.
-Maximum summon number: 3
It was none other than the [Summon Skeleton Soldier] skill.
[[Use the Beginner Skill Book] to acquire a class.]
[Class: Necromancer]
Seo Yi-jun was reborn as a necromancer.
at that time.
[Succession completed.]
[You are the master of the legion, and you have filled the void in the legionnaires.]
[Achievement <Respect, Respect, and Loyalty> achieved!]
[Trait evolves as an achievement reward, and inherited items are granted.]
The succession of the previous life has been completed.
“This is… … .”
The hot and unfamiliar feeling I felt when I was finally seen off.
‘I see… …. I wasn’t the only one who felt that way.’
The legion also felt the emotion and filled the emptiness in their hearts.
So it was an accomplished feat.
I thought there would be nothing to inherit, but that wasn’t the case.
Seo Yi-jun carefully opened the inventory.
“… … !”
The inventory should be empty since I used the [Beginner Skill Book].
There was an item there that I had never expected.
-Broken verb
-Life Vessel Piece
-Death Side Fragment
Broken beads.
A piece of necklace.
Sickle fragments.
There was no need to wonder what these items were.
Bone Dragon.
Ark Rich.
Death Knight.
‘Items of the three legion commanders!’
Seo Yi-jun wasn’t the only one who returned to the past.
