Kim Cheol-kwon, who is building up reinforcement -3-
“You want to become stronger?”
“Yes. I want to become stronger.”
You must have felt a lot through this incident.
In the end, the only person you can trust is yourself.
No matter how large an organization you build, it is nothing more than a house of cards unless it is backed up by your own military power.
And I knew better than anyone how to make the reinforcement soldiers stronger.
While I was thinking about what to say.
Kim Cheol-kwon took out the magic oath he had prepared in advance.
He knelt down and offered it to me respectfully, and when I looked at it, I saw that the content was very simple.
[One, Kim Jeon-sa is called Gap.]
[One, Kim Cheol-kwon is called Eul.]
[One, B absolutely obeys A.]
[One, A has the power over B’s life and death.]
These four items are all.
A completely unfair contract and a slave contract.
Even if I were to do a part-time job, I would never sign a contract like this.
I shook the magic oath lightly.
“Are you serious? This is a bit much.”
“I’m serious, Superman.”
Kim Cheol-kwon knelt down and straightened his back.
“I am already dead. If it weren’t for you, Superman, I would have died long ago, and my brother would have had the same result. Since you saved my life, I will give you my all.”
His eyes were filled with determination.
That’s how shocking this incident was.
On the other hand, it seems that he has become wary of himself.
I’m afraid you might betray me later.
Restraints that are only verbal are empty. It seems that he wanted to calm his mind by doing this.
“Okay. I accept it.”
I respected Kim Cheol-kwon’s wishes.
A magical oath is formed.
The paper instantly burst into flames and a magic circle appeared in the air.
Then, a magic circle is embedded in each other’s hearts like a seal.
It was an unfamiliar experience.
Heart to heart, soul to soul, they are connected and hold the power of life and death in one’s hands.
Now Kim Cheol-kwon can’t even think about betraying me.
I can burst Kim Cheol-kwon’s heart at any time.
It was scary and frightening, but Kim Cheol-kwon looked much more comfortable.
As if a huge burden had been lifted.
“Please take good care of me, brother. No, my lord.”
“Because you keep staring, call me Superman.”
“Hahaha, I understand.”
Kim Cheol-kwon smiled like a little boy.
I took a moment to collect my thoughts and then said.
“There are basically two ways to make your reinforcements stronger. You know that.”
“Isn’t that biomutation and prosthetic implants?”
“That’s it.”
Bionic mutations. Mechanical engineering prosthetics.
The reinforced soldiers that appear in the game level up by choosing one of these two.
But that’s not all.
To become truly strong, to become a high-level superhuman as a reinforcement soldier, you must use both together.
“Do you know about Leviathan?”
“Of course. Who doesn’t know Leviathan? Especially among the reinforced soldiers.”
Same level as Cheonma.
One of the 9 levels with only 4 people.
The pinnacle and ultimate of reinforcement weapons.
Leviathan was a representative example of an augmented weapon that used both prosthetic implants and bio-mutation.
“If you want to become stronger, you have to be like Leviathan.”
“Isn’t it dangerous? Among the people I know, there are several who mutated or had their magic go wild after doing something like Leviathan. It’s considered an absolute taboo in social circles and broadcasts.”
“You can use the ones that are compatible with the mutation factor and the body parts. If you combine them properly, instead of opposing or suppressing them, you will have a synergistic effect. The mutation will change more stably, and the body will greatly increase its magic efficiency.”
“Is that possible?”
“So Leviathan was the first to reach level 9. And the conglomerates in our country. They also have similar knowledge. That’s how they got to that position.”
“ah······”
Kim Cheol-kwon’s eyes waver.
“Do you happen to know of any combinations? I don’t think I’ll need to do any vivisection, right?”
“I know of a few. Some of them can be implemented using materials from the Geonwoobong facility.”
“I must go to Geonwoobong as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”
“That’s right.”
Recapturing Geonwoobong was easy.

As soon as they saw us, the men guarding Geonwoobong threw down their guns and knelt down.
Anyway, the core was completely destroyed yesterday.
What remained on Geonwoobong was the lowest of the lowest.
I left the cleanup to the last remaining officer and entered the body modification facility.
“Come in.”
“Will it be okay?”
“Of course. But it will hurt a little. Since you are undergoing bio-mutation and prosthetic implantation at the same time.”
Arcane Seoul contains numerous mutants and body parts.
What determined the combination here were the type of mutation, the material of the body, and the properties of the inserted magic core.
I manipulated the computer to check the remaining materials.
‘It would be better to start from level 3.’
My choice is the most standard occult build.
The werewolf mutation factor was used to create the Blood Horse, and the magic core of the ghost group of the shopping mall’s forbidden boss was used.
A combination of werewolf, vampire, and ghost.
The important thing about the reinforcement build is that it should be similar but slightly different. If you use exactly the same ones, a 100% magic overload will occur.
‘The magic circle······ has nothing there.’
Here, blood magic is used as a material for the prosthetic hand’s magic circle.
It is basically a soft metal and is very expensive, so it cannot be used to make a full-body prosthetic hand.
So I had to carve a magic circle with blood magic, but the magic circle I entered was too small.
What did you do with the money you earned?
Hire a wizard, or at least a magician, and have them research it.
‘It has good class and blood sucking power.’
There are only three choices.
Strength, vitality, talent.
It is the most basic of the basic characteristics. It is also a 3-tier characteristic among common characteristics.
I chuckled to myself.
I remember when I first came into this world and was collecting traits.
‘Let’s do it with skill.’
The werewolf mutation factor provides two basic traits:
[Strength], [Robustness].
If Kim Cheol-kwon is a warrior or a melee attacker, it would be a good idea to choose either strength or vitality. It would also be okay to put steel claws on his prosthetic arm.
But Arcane Seoul’s Kim Cheol-kwon was an all-weather striker.
At close range, he used a prosthetic hand, and at medium range, he fired a submachine gun.
Well then, I guess we’ll have to change our options.
[Talent] Select trait.
OMG.
The body-building device is back in action.
Something similar to the original world’s 3D printer.
He began to draw a silver magic circle in the air with his sleek prosthetic hand and blood magic.
“Kuaaaaak! Keuuuuk!”
Next to him, Kim Cheol-kwon was screaming.
Kim Cheol-kwon inside a large glass case.
The werewolf mutation factor is injected through a rubber tube inserted into the neck.
You can see the body swell up and grow black hair.
It will be hard, but you will get through it in the end.
Because I’m Kim Cheol-kwon, who has already reached level 3.
In the game, it also works well with the werewolf mutation factor.
I took the magic box out of my golf bag.
Insert the magical power core contained inside into the body creation device.
A nearly completed steel prosthetic hand, with the magic core properly inserted into its center.
The magic circle is activated.
And the ominous aura that emanates from it.
I nodded my head, checking the progress on the monitor.
‘It worked out well.’
Since it uses a wild magic core rather than a processed magic stone, it comes with one more characteristic.
The properties provided by the magic core of the ghost group are diverse, but······
Maybe [Cold Hands].
If you activate the prosthetic hand, it will freeze the opponent while draining their life force.
‘It’s still not enough.’
I feel like I haven’t been able to fully utilize the material’s potential.
If you do it well, it’s not just a cold hand, but also [Ghost Hand] or [Death Hand].
Still, this is a good start.
[Strength][Durability][Talent][Cold Hands]
If you add in the [Martial Arts] that Kim Cheol-kwon originally possesses, there are a whopping five.
Even though it is born with an N-class rank, it is still top-tier at level 3.
Even a mediocre R-class superhuman can be easily steamed and eaten.
Woof, woof.
Crunch.
“Kkaaaah!”
The completed prosthetic hand was inserted into Kim Cheol-kwon, who was undergoing transformation.
Kim Cheol-kwon screams loudly as the severed part is connected and the nerves are connected.
That’s when the prosthetic hand started to sparkle.
A hazy gray light spreads from within, and the magic circle on the surface emits an ominous red light.
Then the werewolf transformation accelerated rapidly.
The face turns into a wolf and the whole body becomes furry.
That was only for a moment.
As the magic light covers the entire body, it quickly returns to its original state.
The wolf’s head turned into a human’s, and the black fur that had grown all over his body disappeared without a trace.
All that remains is a bit of black hair on his chest.
Although he has become more muscular than before, the change is not noticeable.
Wow, I remember.
The glass door opened and Kim Cheol-kwon fell to his knees as if he was collapsing.
He was breathing heavily, drooling thickly.
“Ugh, ugh, ugh.”
“How is it?”
“I’m going to die······”
“Concentrate your mind on the prosthetic hand and draw out your magical power.”
Kim Cheol-kwon followed my words even though he was confused.
A sparkling prosthetic hand.
A strong magical vibration resonates.
All the characteristics were activated and Kim Cheol-kwon’s body swelled.
With lean, muscular build.
Even as black hair grew all over his body, Kim Cheol-kwon looked confused.
“What, what is this?”
“It’s a werewolf mutation factor. You only need to bring it up when fighting.”
“I feel strange······”
“Of course. I’m a werewolf. But I won’t transform just because I see a full moon or see blood.”
Because the three elements of werewolf, vampire, and ghost are exquisitely harmonized.
The perfect golden ratio where the two check and strengthen each other.
“And there’s something you need to keep in mind as you level up in the future.”
“I will listen.”
“Hire a wizard or a sorcerer.”
“Wizard, magician······”
“I chose the mutation factor and magic core that I thought were good. You can use them without any problems up to level 4. But the prosthetic magic circle is the problem. What kind of talent is it? What kind of talent is it? You need to have at least dignity or blood sucking. If I remake your prosthetic hand, you will become level 4 right away.”
Kim Cheol-kwon laughed as if he found it ridiculous.
“Is level 4 that easy?”
“It’s the privilege of the reinforced soldier. Level 5 is the problem. If you want to use the current combination, you need the Blood Master ability and a level 5 Ghost Magic Core. Finding a level 5 Ghost Magic Core is a problem, but it’s really hard to implement the Blood Master ability into a magic circle.”
“Blood Master Ability, Level 5 Ghost Magic Core······”
“I recommend switching to a different combination.”
Kim Cheol-kwon gave a trusting look.
“I will do whatever you say, Superman.”
“Let’s start from level 4. Gather as many magic circles as possible. The priority is first, dignity, and second, blood sucking.”
“Yes, Superman.”
You shouldn’t just change to another combination.
Because it causes 100% side effects.
The best thing to do is to remove the trait from the diamond, that is, remove the mutation and the body, and start from zero.
The pain and dissonance during the transplant process can also be ignored with diamonds.
I need to go to the Colosseum and earn some diamonds soon.
Kururung.
At the point where the conversation was almost over.
Suddenly, the entire Geonwoobong facility shook.
A violent vibration felt even deep underground.
The epicenter was not far away.
Kim Cheol-kwon and I looked at each other and then ran out in a hurry.
“Come together! What’s going on?”
As Kim Cheol-kwon shouted, the members of the Iron Fist gang gathered.
“Tongue, bro.”
Strangely enough, the gang members were struggling and sweating profusely.
Kim Cheol-kwon also noticed something strange.
He pulled the recovered submachine gun from his waist and made a loud, deliberate noise.
“What? Tell me the truth. That sound just now, wasn’t it coming from inside the facility?”
A cold-blooded face befitting a gang boss.
The atmosphere is such that the trigger seems ready to be pulled at any moment.
The gang members bowed their heads.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Actually, Brother Ko Jun-beom… no, that traitorous bastard has hidden something, no, a person.”
“What? People?”
Gurrrrrr!
The facility is shaking again.
Fluorescent lights flickered dangerously and dust poured down from overhead.
Looking at the situation, it seems like this happened quite often.
Kim Cheol-kwon screamed as if he was spitting fire from his mouth.
“What did I say! I said human trafficking is absolutely prohibited! Huh?”
“We didn’t do it!”
“That bastard Go Jun-beom ordered me to do it!”
“I had no choice but to do it because they said they would kill me if I didn’t do as they said!”
Kim Cheol-kwon glares at his subordinates with glaring eyes.
Already aimed at the machine gun.
It’s not strange when you pull the trigger.
I quietly raised my hand and stopped Kim Cheol-kwon.
“Stop it. What power do you have over them? If that traitorous bastard tells you to criticize, then you should. You know what will happen if you rebel.”
“older brother!”
“I told you to call me Superman. By the way, who did you lock up? Did you catch a high-level superpowered person?”
The gang members face each other.
The attitude of “You talk, you talk.”
As Kim Cheol-kwon glared, an older gang member stepped forward and spoke.
“She’s a witch.”
“witch?”
“Yes. They used to say that if you handed it over to the Magic Tower or the Church, you could make a lot of money… and maybe even get a high-level artifact.”
If it’s a character with the [Witch] trait, then that’s possible.
Oh, I wonder if Go Jun-beom will betray me because of this?
Because of the profits to be made from human trafficking?
It’s not a dream to rule the nights of Seoul by obtaining a magical sword of incredible power or receiving and inserting a level 5 body.
“See for yourself.”
“Okay! I’ll guide you.”
It is a well-known fact that I received Kim Cheol-kwon’s oath of loyalty.
The gang members quickly guided me away.
Not far from the body modification facility.
A prison that was formerly used by the Cleaners’ Association as a place to confine s*xual slaves.
“It’s that girl.”
Krrrr!
A steel prison cell vibrating violently.
White light shoots out like a beam cannon, hitting the walls and ceiling.
Every time the halo of light struck the prison, the steel cracked and the facility shook.
There was a little girl in the blazing white light.
Blonde hair stained with dirt.
Blue eyes that were dark and dead.
A single layer of thick cloth worn over the body.
I knew what it was the moment I saw it.
It had to be that way.
she is.
She is trapped in a steel prison like a birdcage.
One of the three commanders of the warrior class.
Because it was Janet.
