Buying my own home -2-
morning.
I woke up feeling more energetic than ever before.
“Eu …
One long yawn.
After a delicious breakfast, I went to stand in the center of the training room.
‘I need to practice swordsmanship.’
It’s not a bad idea to go with a gunslinger build based on gunplay.
It’s also the strongest build at low levels.
The problem comes when you reach a high level.
Ultimately, the warrior comes down to the sword.
It’s foolish to choose a gun over unarmed combat, maces, spears, axes, bows, and crossbows.
I took up the sword.
The sword I bought at the gun shop.
A thing that is absolutely not good, made by stamping steel into a mold in a factory.
If it were a game, it would be written like this.
[N] Steel Longsword
Still, it’s not bad for a level 2 user like me to just write.
“Whew.”
Take a deep breath.
Magic seeps into my lungs along with the air.
Could it be because of the always boiling water of the magic spring?
The magical power concentration in the underground training room was quite high.
Equipped with [Bankruptcy Law].
He lowers his sword while referring to the images playing in his brain.
The first step in bankruptcy prosecution is to destroy the mountain.
The magical power that starts in the lower abdomen runs through the heart and into the arms.
So it was embedded in the sword and poured down fiercely.
Woof!
A rough and intense sound.
Then the second movement, mountain cutting, and the third movement, mountain piercing, are demonstrated.
As he slashed his sword horizontally, an invisible force shook the space, and as he thrust forward steeply, a sharp momentum emerged that seemed as if it could pierce through iron plates.
‘Not bad.’
The movement itself is extremely simple.
Because it’s a vertical slash, a horizontal slash, and a stab.
If we substitute it with a martial arts novel, it would be like Taesanapjeong, Heongsocheongun, and Doksachuldong.
Actually, the movement is not that important.
The real thing is the flow of magical power and the control of its strength within the human body.
In a way, movement is just a teaching aid.
In fact, it can’t be helped.
Who fights with swords and spears in the 21st century?
The saying that the sword is the king of all illnesses does not apply in Arcane Seoul.
‘The king of all weapons is the gun.’
Before a bullet, everyone is equal, from a child to a muscular man.
It’s about level 3 that it’s reversed.
Level 3 superhumans can block bullets with their armor and magical shields.
Even I fought while getting shot several times by rifle bullets during the dagger attack.
Going one step further, at levels 5 and 7, normal bullets won’t even hit you.
“Whew.”
Take another deep breath.
Stabilize your magical power, control your magical power, and spread your sword.
I focused all my energy on each blow.
Explodes all magical power with each movement.
Unorganized magic shook the blood vessels.
My whole body felt a tingling pain in my blood vessels and my heart felt like it was being stabbed by a needle.
‘The condition is not good.’
It’s holding up thanks to the various recovery type characteristics and magic heart characteristics.
If it weren’t for that, I would have been in trouble too.
Whether it’s a magical outburst or a heart attack.
“Whew, whoosh.”
Sweat poured down like rain.
Every joint in my body creaked and my muscles ached like they were on fire.
Here, the magic veins even complain of a stabbing pain.
I can’t stand it anymore.
“Eww!”
I threw down my sword and threw myself into the magic bath.
As the warm and refreshing air penetrated my skin and magical blood vessels, the pain quickly subsided.
What would have happened if there wasn’t a magic potion at home?

You probably haven’t trained properly.
Rather than using the sword at full power like now, he would have been using it at around 70% power and suffered a lot of internal injuries, suffering for several days.
“Sigh······ I’ll live.”
I think I would have been seriously injured if I had waited just one more minute.
Right now, there is only a slight wound in the magic vein.
I changed the characteristics and enjoyed the feel of the magic water.
It feels nice and warm, but it’s a bit disappointing to just lie still.
‘Isn’t there anything I can gain from the trait?’
There are a few.
The first thing that came to mind was to dip both hands into the magic water.
Equipped with [Black Flame].
All the magic power that was recovered was poured into the black flame.
You can create them around your body, but it’s easier to just attach them to your body.
Sparks, black flames, raged from my two hands.
Bubbling.
The water in the magic spring immediately starts boiling and bubbles start to rise.
The water gets hot.
The temperature soars from 37 degrees, which is perfect for taking a bath, to 40 degrees, then 50 degrees.
‘Hot, hot!’
Bath water as cold as 45 degrees can cause low-temperature burns.
But wouldn’t this temperature not work?
I pulled myself together and injected more magic power into the black flame.
The bubbling bubbles spread and the water became hotter and hotter.
Even the steam rises in clumps.
Did I do something wrong?
I tried to regret it a little, but then bit my lower lip.
Compared to the new fever debuff, it doesn’t hurt even 1%.
I think I can endure this much.
I spent dozens of minutes fighting the heat, using more and more magic power to heat the water.
Finally, the heat went away, leaving me feeling refreshed.
[Fire Resistance] acquired.
“Okay!”
I quickly pulled myself out of the magic bath.
A cloud of steam enveloping the underground training room.
The body was completely recovered.
Actually, a burn from boiling water is nothing special.
In the face of wound healing and regeneration, burns are easy prey.
My inner pain is really difficult.
‘Let’s just keep it like this, just like this.’
What other properties can you get from a magic bath?
He set his sights on his next goal and swung his sword.
Breaking mountains, splitting mountains, piercing mountains.
But after doing it a few times, driving the horsepower became much easier.
The flow has become smoother and the dynamics have been adjusted more clearly.
After doing it, my whole body still feels like it’s broken, but I feel like the amount of magical power I can mobilize is increasing little by little.
‘It’s taking too long.’
After getting into the magic bath, I clicked my tongue inwardly.
At this rate, it will take at least three months to absorb all of the nectar’s magic power.
then?
Before you can absorb all the surplus magic power, a lot of your precious magic power will evaporate.
After all, a magic training method is needed.
While thinking about that, I activated the black flame.
This time, not in the water, but out of the water.
With his hand outstretched, like a flamethrower.
Hwaaaaak!
A black pillar of fire shoots out.
Flames fired indiscriminately without purpose or meaning.
Of course, my magic power quickly ran out.
All that remains is the magic of the nectar that remains in the bloodstream.
‘Okay, this is enough.’
All magic-related characteristics such as magic recovery and absorption were erased.
There is only one thing left, magical power.
I close my eyes and sink deep into myself.
Focus your mind solely on your heart, the organ that produces magical power by combining with your magical power.
It didn’t go well.
Originally, I was a human being who had built a wall completely around meditation, perfection, and contemplation.
He said that he was a person who would spend his free time blankly watching TV or playing games.
But as I focused on the unique texture and flow of magic, birth and growth, my mind grew heavier and heavier, reaching down to the subconscious.
All the experiences I’ve had since I came into this world have helped me.
New characteristics are created naturally.
[Meditation]
This new trait and magical power, as well as the magic contained in the magic bath, created a synergistic effect.
[Magic Stability]
I feel the magic slowly subsiding.
After drinking the nectar, order came into my chaotic and disorderly magic.
The same goes for the latent magical power within the blood vessels.
As it became a little heavier, crumbs began to fall off, and those crumbs were absorbed through the magical power.
‘It’ll probably take more than a month this way.’
In a month, half of it will fly away.
Even half of that is a huge amount, and it’s enough to challenge level 3 later, but it’s not as good as eating it all.
Still, it’s good news.
‘Magic power recovery, magic power absorption, magic power stabilization… I just need to collect two more.’
Magic Heart can evolve into a higher-level trait by gathering five lower-level traits.
It is a trait that is usually obtained by completing special quests because it is difficult to survive that long.
‘You shouldn’t get it too quickly.’
It is not good to have too much magical power compared to your physical strength.
A wizard type superhuman can handle it, but a warrior type superhuman can’t.
If you get greedy, your magical powers will run wild and you will most likely become paralyzed.
It is recommended to use it only after reaching at least level 5.
Or maybe it’s a special situation where you have to use it as soon as you get magic power.
Whew! Whew!
I rested a little more and swung my sword.
Since it has the magic power stabilization trait, the magic power flow is definitely stable.
The tip of the sword, which had been shaking uneasily, was slowly finding its place.
A clean, straight line.
It was the same even though the magical power was continuously gushing out.
Thanks to this, instead of the thunderous roar, a sharp cracking sound was heard.
‘Just a little more, just a little more.’
I felt a tingling sensation while swinging the sword.
I’m absorbed in that feeling.
I completely immerse myself in it, forgetting the world, forgetting magic, forgetting myself, and with a single-minded focus I swing my sword down.
Jjiing······
Tinnitus, a ringing sound in the ears.
And then a longsword flashes in an instant.
The light from the longsword left a mark on the air.
It was only for a moment, a split second, but it was vividly remembered on my retina.
[Traditional] trait.
Similar to a strong hit, but the final attack power is higher.
Because the attack power of the weapon you are holding is increased by a certain percentage.
Although it only applies to so-called cutting weapons, that is, weapons with blades.
‘While you’re at it, why don’t you learn some striking weapons too?’
Not bad.
Weapon specialists who fight while carrying various weapons such as swords, guns, spears, axes, maces, and crossbows are also very powerful.
Moreover, the ability to switch traits goes very well with weapon specialists.
‘No, no.’
But soon you start shaking your head.
My goal is, of course, Cheonma.
Whether he survives in this world or returns to his original world, he has to become stronger than Cheonma to have even a 1% chance.
Then, can you, as a weapons expert, Kim Jeon-sa, fight and win against Cheonma?
it’s tough.
I already did it.
After all, there are only three great swordsmanship methods that can compare to Cheonma.
Although each of them cannot catch up to the Heavenly Demon God, they are superior to the Heavenly Demon God in their respective strengths.
Create an optimized set of characteristics for each swordsmanship, then fight by switching between characteristics in real time.
That was my goal.
“Whew.”
Stop with your random thoughts.
Throw a stab with full power.
Once, twice, three times, four times.
The mind that was exalted by acquiring the fatal trait calms down.
Focus all your mind on the tip of the sword.
The meditation qualities were helping me immerse myself.
It was not necessarily applied only when one was immersed in one’s inner self in a static posture.
So at some point.
The tip of the sword flashed, drawing a ray of light.
A magical power that burns brightly as soon as it is born.
When viewed from the side, it appears to be a straight line, but to me, it looks like a single point.
“Whoa!”
I sat down, sweating profusely.
I could taste iron on the tip of my tongue and my eyes were blurry.
It’s good that you practiced hard, but I think you pushed yourself too hard.
I almost went to the magic bathtub and barely managed to get in.
“It’s hard, it’s hard.”
What can I do?
You have to do this much to survive.
Still, I got two basic weapon traits.
In addition to the [Critical Strike] you just got, you also get [One Point].
‘I want to get the swordsmanship trait as well.’
Unfortunately, obtaining the swordsmanship trait is quite difficult.
In real life, you have to fight fiercely with only a sword, or receive intensive lessons from a famous teacher.
Both are difficult for me.
Let’s be content with getting a point and a kill today.
Right now, magical power training is more important than swordsmanship.
‘A way to obtain the magic power training method······’
Give up on quests and dungeons.
Most of them are of high difficulty and there is nothing to be greedy about among the moderate difficulty levels.
After all, buying something with money is the best.
Because I have over 2 billion dollars in cash sitting in my safe.
‘I’m okay with spending all 2 billion.’
The problem is that even if you pay that amount of money, it is difficult to obtain a proper magic training method.
In this world, the prices of basic necessities are cheap, but luxuries are extremely expensive.
What about the magical power training method that can make you a superhuman?
It’s worth calling.
Even the trash magic training method that can barely make you a level 1 superhuman, let alone a level 3, costs hundreds of millions.
‘There is only one after all.’
The place I had in mind from the beginning.
The distance is also close.
Although it is a few years different in time from the game, the young shopkeeper NPC clearly said this.
[It’s been sitting in storage for over 10 years… Are you really going to buy it?]
For over 10 years.
That means it will still be there now.
I immediately got up.
It was almost midnight.
It was when the Sinrim-dong Shinwon Market was burning hot with dark business.
