Nectar -2-
The first thing I felt was a sense of refreshment.
A refreshing and clear liquid, or rather a mass of magical power, passed through my lungs.
It then spreads to the heart, blood vessels, and the entire body, washing away the waste.
It feels like every cell in my body is waking up one by one.
Feeling like being reborn.
The feeling of exhilaration, as if the country’s existence was ascending to a higher dimension, was approaching me with a refreshing and cool sensation.
Crunch, crunch.
Push. Push.
I can hear the sound of beans roasting in every joint.
Each and every muscle fiber was being dismantled and reassembled.
The pores are all open and release body wastes like thick smoke.
But neither the fire alarm nor the pollution magic alarm sounds.
Because all the waste that was discharged was immediately burned in golden flames.
Unfortunately, the period of enthusiasm did not last long.
At most, about a minute.
Although the body was strengthened, it was not able to undergo a major transformation.
Would it be appropriate to say that I received about 1/10 of the amount of tax I owe?
I opened my eyes with a burning thirst.
‘That’s too bad.’
I’ve been addicted to potions, even absorbing magic power, but I feel like I haven’t been able to properly utilize the nectar’s effects.
The magic circuits, heart, and blood vessels were filled with magic power.
Clearly over capacity.
There is so much magic that your senses become dull.
When I tried moving my hand, the movement was strangely slow.
Just a little bit, not enough to be a problem, but enough to be a little bothersome.
Moreover, it is evaporating little by little.
If we don’t fix this as quickly as possible, it’ll all be gone.
‘Still, I got to level 2.’
The magic circuit has been noticeably expanded.
They have grown in size, become more complex, and are thicker.
What is regrettable is the magical power flowing through the circuits and blood vessels.
It was proud yet unrefined, powerful yet rough.
A time when magical power training is needed.
If you collect this overflowing magic power, you will definitely reach level 3.
Should I have asked for the Internal Affairs Act instead of the Bankruptcy Prosecution Act?
no.
It is better to raise Kim Jeon-sa as a different profession rather than a warrior.
The most common type among the warrior class.
A job that guarantees a certain level of performance as it is common.
warrior.
A warrior who focuses on strengthening the body and uses processed magic power to spread his skills is a perfect match for Kim Jeon-sa.
‘Let’s somehow find the magic power training method.’
The next goal has been set.
I finally raised one finger.
Attribute switching.
I equipped the trait I gained from drinking nectar and overcoming my fever. I looked at my fingertips and clicked them, muttering to myself as my fingertips began to sting and black flames shot up.
A very small flame, as weak as a candle and as dim as the stars in the Seoul sky.
[Black salt]
“Wow!”
I can’t help but be amazed.
This is tier 1 of tiers.
This is a trait that can be used effectively at any time against an opponent that is susceptible to fire attribute damage.
It can be used on all weapons, armor, consumables, and even on any skill.
Since it’s a warrior series, wouldn’t there be a need for attribute damage?
Of course not. It was absolutely necessary to deal with ghosts, spirits, and incorporeal monsters.
“where······”
Cleared all attributes and equipped only [Black Flame].
Let’s space out a few.
Around the body, like when you have a fever and you push it away as a barrier.
I put exactly 12 of them.
The magical power consumption was not great. It was difficult to maintain concentration, but it was maintained even in a state with no special characteristics.
‘It’s good for training.’
Rough and dull magic power due to the side effects of taking nectar.
The implementation of the 12 black flames was difficult, but it helped in refining the magic power.
Because you have to handle your magic delicately and gently, and without losing focus.
“Okay, okay.”
For the time being, let’s focus on training in black salt and bankruptcy swordsmanship.

There is a place to get the magic training method.
That too, in moderation.
Since we need hundreds of millions of dollars, we have to wait for the CEO of Jeil Security to give us the money.
‘How many traits do I have now?’
Midterm check.
I counted them calmly.
One, two, three, four······
crazy?
The correct answer was 35.
In Arcane Seoul, I have collected over a dozen characteristics since I was dropped into this dead-end world.
“It’s difficult.”
I really lived hard.
Among them, the 1st tier traits are Black Flame, Magic Defense, Area Defense, and Magic Shield, and the Bankruptcy Sword Technique is also a trait that is evaluated well among the series traits.
I lay down on the bed feeling happy.
‘I need to get a sword.’
How much money do you have?
The correct answer is 51 million won.
This is the total amount of money I originally had, the money I earned from running around on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays before meeting Seo Woo-jin, and the money I earned from synthesizing the magic cores and selling them at the exchange.
I have to pay for the hotel room soon, so if I set aside a little, I’ll have 48 million won left.
‘Let’s put aside the billion for now.’
If you spend 48 million won to get a decent sword, and supplement your guns and grenades, then…
Should I just buy a luxury item instead?
The magical kind?
‘No.’
Even the simplest magic sword costs hundreds of millions.
You shouldn’t even dream of it unless you’re willing to spend the 1 billion that the CEO said he’d give you.
‘Instead, it’s better to be well-equipped.’
Full body protective suit and foldable helmet with goggles.
Assault rifles and high-power automatic shotguns.
A good quality longsword and wrist shield.
We also need grenades, flashbangs, tear gas, and sealing grenades.
While I’m at it, should I buy a few grenades?
I don’t know about a full-fledged grenade launcher, but an underbarrel grenade launcher that attaches to a rifle would be fine.
“after······”
Is it because I’ve been lying down for a long time?
My eyelids felt heavy.
Well, a lot happened today.
It was still far from sunset, but I fell asleep without realizing it.
I didn’t know that because of that.
Late at night.
My smartphone is whining and crying.
The next morning, I opened my eyes after the sun had risen high in the sky and checked my smartphone.
[Superman, are you busy?]
[I’m leaving a message because you’re not answering the phone.]
[I’m saying this because I told you in the car, but can we meet briefly tomorrow?]
[As you know, passing down martial arts and joining a martial arts school is a very difficult task.]
[You obviously need help.]
[I know why you hesitate, Superman.]
[Isn’t it because of those who oppose unreasonably within the military?]
[You must ignore everything and make up your mind.]
[This is my swordsmanship, my swordsmanship. If you just learn swordsmanship, you will walk on a smooth path.]
[Of course, I will be criticized by my disciples for being biased.]
[What do you think? That inspection is the most important security.]
[I have a lot to say, but I think it would be polite to meet you in person and discuss it with you, so I will stop here.]
[Please answer as you see fit.]
[By Choi Seon-su, head of the Human Resources Office.]
uh······
What is it?
What about this awkward message?
What is martial arts training and what is joining a martial arts school?
A word that was never shared with me.
The intense awkwardness and sense of alienation was poking at my instincts.
“ah!”
After looking at it for a while, I realized.
Diagonal drip.
I realized it too late because I left four lines in front and four lines behind and also left three letters in the beginning to make a joke.
[It definitely [helps]······]
[Superman is [hesitating]······]
[In the middle of nowhere, [it] is too much······]
[Ignore everything [firmly]······]
[This is my inspection, my [inspection]······]
[Of course, it is biased towards the disciples······]
When combined, it becomes this sentence.
[Runaway Dagger Sect]
I stared at my smartphone screen.
What does this mean?
I don’t know if they are telling me to run away because of the dagger faction or to run away to the dagger faction.
‘I’m not telling you to go to Dagger School.’
To begin with, all the merchants around here are aligned with either the dagger faction or the iron fist faction.
The Choi Seon-su Human Resources Office is within police patrol range, but even so, fists are closer to the law than anything else.
If it were up to Chief Choi to ask for help from the Dagger Sect, he would have done it.
There is one possibility I can imagine.
‘You idiot.’
I cursed inwardly.
Director Choi, it was clear that that human had leaked the information.
I don’t think he did it on his own. It must have been a mistake.
Looking at the time the message arrived, it was late at night.
Did you drink anything?
So you made a mistake, got dragged into the dagger cult, and were tortured?
It is unlikely that Director Choi betrayed them.
Then, he would have just called me casually and dragged me in.
I had a strange feeling.
How can someone who I thought would betray me be loyal to me?
I even sent diagonal drip texts at the risk of being caught.
I assessed the situation calmly.
Director Choi also told me to run away, and I have no sense of duty to risk my life to save Director Choi.
There is one reason for worry.
The question is whether running away will end things.
‘Nectar······ Damn.’
Who would believe me if I told you I already ate it?
I won’t believe you until you split my stomach open or yours is split open.
If you run away and even a rumor spreads, not only back alley gangs like the Daggers but even treasure hunters could come after you.
Not an ordinary hunter, but a superhuman hunter.
It would be better to end it here.
[I’m not feeling well. I need to rest a little more. I’ll go to the office in the evening. Around 8 o’clock? Think about it.]
[Yes, I understand. I will wait.]
In the past, Director Choi would call me right away even if I left a text message.
From the first time I responded to your text, I felt very confident in my guess.
Click.
I pulled my hood down low and left the room.
After taking all 51 million won in the safe.
I didn’t want to run into anyone, so I went down the emergency stairs and escaped through the back door of the hotel.
“hello.”
Ignore the security guard you encounter along the way.
I walked into the gun shop almost like I was running.
The very same gun shop I stopped by just before fighting the deer pack.
“Ahem?”
The landlady looked back at me as she leisurely enjoyed the air conditioning.
“Are you the customer who came that time? How was it? Did you use the items well?”
Oh, well written.
I broke both the rifle and the baton, but without them I wouldn’t be here.
I put my golf bag down on the counter without even saying hello.
He then opened his golf bag and took out a wad of cash.
The woman opened her eyes.
“What is it? What’s wrong? What’s going on?”
“Hurry up, I’m busy. Here, for this amount of money… no, 50 million won, please give me one rifle, one automatic shotgun, one set of weapons, a full-body body armor, a folding helmet, and bullets and grenades. I’ll also need an underbarrel grenade launcher and a few grenades, so give them to me. Oh, and if you can give me a silencer for the rifle, please give it to me.”
“Fifty million won? Five thousand in total? What’s really going on?”
“So do this. Hurry up. There’s no time.”
I gave the woman all the cash except one wad of ten-thousand won notes.
The woman looked at the wad of cash here and there and made a satisfied expression.
“I don’t know what happened, but I hit the jackpot. But 50 million won is a bit too little. A set of checkpoints and protective clothing are fine, but rifles, shotguns, and grenades are illegal.”
“It’s not illegal. Register this.”
“What is this? Oh, super authentication? You’re a superhuman? No, you’ve become a superhuman? You’re more capable than you look. Alright. It’s a cool deal, so I’ll give you the goods coolly. I’ll give you the minimum margin, so if something like this happens again, come to me. Got it?”
“okay.”
Chorus, chorus!
The wall rotates and the lower shelf pops out, spitting out hidden items.
The landlady kept picking up things for me without stopping.
“First, the assault rifle… What about the one you bought last time? What? It got smashed up after being beaten by a superhuman? At least bring that. I can sell it used. A shotgun, a body armor, a sword set… Oh, wait. You’re just going to wear the body armor? Should I buy a set of sweatpants too? It’s factory-made, but I mixed in some low-level magicians, so it should stop a few crappy pistol bullets. It’s perfect to wear over the body armor. And a grenade launcher… A grenade… A hand grenade… A silencer… ”
I went into the locker room and changed into my protective gear. I put on my tracksuit over it and stuffed everything except my pistol and shield into my golf bag.
The shield was more like a shield than an arm guard. It was a long piece of iron plate that overlapped the guard extending from the wrist to the elbow.
The woman placed an arm shield directly on my left arm.
“The tracksuit is roomy, so if you wear it like this, you won’t be able to tell from the outside. I put the foldable helmet in the hood of the tracksuit. If you wear it like this, it’ll be ready to go. Isn’t it comfortable?”
“Is this the original way it was made?”
“Oh. These days, they all come out like this because you have to hide your weapons unless you’re a level 3 superhuman. It’s not expensive for nothing.”
Ready.
As I turned around with my golf bag on my back, the owner slapped me on the back.
“I don’t know what happened, but kill them all! Don’t die, because it’s annoying when someone you know dies.”
“Okay.”
The best human resources office is right next to the gun shop.
I passed by with my hood pulled down and took a quick peek inside.
Inside, there are rowdy looking men sitting around, and the employee at the counter is casually using his smartphone.
There didn’t seem to be anything unusual on the outside, but I definitely noticed something strange.
All the old men who were originally killing people over there were killed by me.
Because they were all a pack of deer.
After that, it usually only bustles for a short while at dawn, with only flies fluttering about.
But the human resources office is full?
At this hour? At this lunch hour, which should be the most leisurely hour?
It’s also strange that the staff remains intact.
The director was arrested, but why are the employees so calm?
‘You betrayed me.’
It’s clear that the staff is also involved.
Also, no matter how you looked at those guys, they looked like gangsters.
Probably the dagger faction.
Rushing into the HR office here is clearly sewage.
We should attack the main base instead.
I waited for the sun to set.
I wasn’t just playing around.
I went to a building near the goshiwon where I lived and notified the gang member who was on guard duty.
“Tell your boss that I’m attacking the Dagger Sect at night.”
“Huh? What?”
“If you want to eat Gwanak-gu, think carefully about it. If you’re late, I won’t know either.”
“Hey! Wait a minute! Hey!”
He came out looking like a superhuman.
The gangsters chased after me, panting, but they couldn’t catch me, a full-fledged level 2 superhuman.
And night.
After the sun went down, things started to move.
[Shooting][Stealth][Play Dead]
[Magic Shield][Bright Eyes][Running]
The optimal set of traits for killing people.
It is war time.
