Episode 253
The reason why Kim Jong-ho is called a master.
That’s because he started out as a B-class awakener and possessed enough magic delicacy to handle S-class skills.
S-rank skill ‘Craftsman’s touch’.
The fact that it required less magic power than other S-class skills played a big role, but he persistently delved into one skill to the point where he was worthy of being called a craftsman.
As a result.
Surprisingly, reawakening occurred every time the skill proficiency increased.
Awakening grade from B to A. From A to S.
He has already been praised as a master since he was in Grade A.
Now that the awakening level has reached S.
His status window management skills were among the best in the world.
Even though he did not obtain a player’s license, he was one of the special management subjects managed by the association along with Bang Chae-soo.
‘You’re nervous.’
I could feel that Kim Jong-ho’s muscles and magic power were solidified.
‘It’s definitely different from your old man.’
Bang Chae-soo’s role was to mix the power in Tae-hyun’s body and make him stronger.
Although it is also a task that requires skill proficiency and delicacy.
Separating and rearranging is a task that requires a higher level of skill.
It might be possible for the association’s artisans, but I can assure you that the probability of success would not be as high as that of Kim Jong-ho.
“Then, let’s begin.”
The magic power was released from Kim Jong-ho’s body.
In proportion to that, Taehyun relieved the tension in his whole body.
It would be difficult if the magical powers within his body pushed away Kim Jong-ho’s skills.
Tiring.
[Skill use has been detected. Artisan’s Touch (S) has been used.]
Taehyun once again fell into meditation.
* * *
Tiring.
[‘Great magical power(?)’ pushes away ‘Craftsman’s touch (S)’.]
[Skill Craftsman’s Hand (S) is shaking.]
“Huh… !!”
Kim Jong-ho gathered his energy and concentrated his mind.
[Skill Craftsman’s Touch (S) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
How much time has passed?
Kim Jong-ho is touching Taehyun’s status window every moment.
Every minute and second felt like walking on thin ice.
If I dig a little deeper, it seems like my mind will be swallowed up by Taehyun’s magic, and if my concentration wavers even a little, my skills will be canceled.
However, I couldn’t even touch Taehyun’s status window after digging too shallowly.
‘It’s a ridiculous composition.’
As I was looking at Taehyun’s status window, I got goosebumps without realizing it.
Unique skills, general skills, and summoning skills.
It was a status window that could be seen because Taehyun had opened everything.
I was momentarily surprised by the ridiculous number of skills.
‘I understand why you asked for separation.’
At first, I thought he was ignoring his ability by being ranked number one in the world at such a young age.
But that wasn’t the case.
Taehyeon’s status window was so solid and messy that even he, who was a master, had trouble separating it.
In particular, the presence of those classified as summoning skills was remarkable.
If someone other than a master touches it, he will be in a coma for the rest of his life due to magical reflux.
‘I’ve survived well so far with this status window.’
Players who deal with demons and demons are more sensitive to the status window than anyone else.
This is because being able to understand one’s condition during battle can save one’s life several times.
In that respect, Taehyun’s status window, where everything was connected as one, was inefficient.
However, if you tampered with it hastily, the bowl of the status window would have cracked.
To bear the weight of the status window.
‘I must have waited and waited.’
And now I decided it was the right time.
‘He must have come to visit me.’
Taehyun was seen sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
He has deep thoughts that are not befitting his age.
It seemed that he did not reach the top position solely based on talent as rumored.
‘Separate… If I am satisfied with that level, I will be called a master.’
Kim Jong-ho made a promise.
I want to be of some help to this ridiculous player.
I will lighten the burden he is carrying on his shoulders just a little.
Wow.
He clenched his teeth.
Tiring.

[Skill Craftsman’s Touch (S) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates. Skill enhancement has reached its limit.]
[The mastery of the skill Craftsman’s Touch (S) increases.]
I felt like I would be sick in bed for a few days after this work was over.
* * *
[The upgrade of the status window was successful.]
“… … !!”
Taehyun, who was meditating in the lotus position, twitched.
The magic power that had been arranged here and there in the body finally took its perfect form.
“all… “It’s done.”
Next, Kim Jong-ho spoke in a weak voice.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Taehyun opened his eyes and looked at Kim Jongho.
He looked as if he had aged ten years, with age spots growing all over his face.
Nevertheless, you can feel a gun that is incomparable to before in your eyes.
‘You’ve grown.’
Perhaps his skill level increased significantly by touching his status window.
It was easy to make that guess.
“Would you like to check?”
At Kim Jong-ho’s suggestion, Taehyun opened the status window.
however.
“… … ?”
I couldn’t think of the status window that was supposed to pop up in front of me.
As Taehyun hesitated, Kim Jongho began to laugh hoarsely.
“It looks like the stitching was done properly. “The status window won’t open, right?”
Taehyun nodded.
“The status window has a basic shape, but there is a limit to it?”
“Limit?”
“okay. This is a symptom that appears in those who have awakened a skill of a higher level compared to their stats. “The status window for those people is too difficult to contain skills and cannot tell everything.”
It was my first time hearing it.
After saying that, Kim Jong-ho stood up with difficulty.
I took the tea cup that I had set aside and mixed up the tea leaves that I had never seen before.
Taehyun watched quietly.
It was because I thought his actions had meaning.
“That was the case with your status window. No, to be honest, it was so tattered that it would be embarrassing to call it a status window.”
rags.
Kim Jong-ho, who could not find a more appropriate word, expressed it that way.
“… … .”
He poured boiled water into a teacup and savored the scent.
“Drink. “If you drink this, you will know what I want to say.”
This is a cup that there is no reason to refuse.
Taehyun emptied the contents inside.
A warm feeling passed through my body.
It felt as if my veins were being lubricated.
and.
Tiring.
[A great power awakens.]
[The status window is transformed.]
[Restricted functions of the status window are activated.]
[New features are added to the status window.]
[Check ‘Countdown to tribal war’.]
[Skill Memorize (S) has been activated. ‘Fragments of tribal war’ were recorded.]
Multiple messages appeared before my eyes.
The status window opened spontaneously.

Nothing much changed.
The status window can be partially opened and closed according to Taehyun’s will.
It was a huge achievement compared to before, when he had to check each one individually to check his magic power in high-speed combat, and that was what he wanted from Kim Jong-ho in the first place.
But that wasn’t the only thing that caught attention.
‘quest?’
Items that had never existed before appeared.
“You seem surprised.”
Kim Jong-ho laughed weakly, enjoying Taehyun’s reaction.
“Is this your work?”
“okay. It’s a new technology that was recently developed. “You are the first contractor.”
It was a technique I had never heard of before, either in my past life or in my current life.
However, looking at Kim Jong-ho speaking proudly, it seemed like it was not an ordinary skill.
“You can think of it as some kind of AI that manages schedules. Are you dissatisfied?”
No way.
The more elaborate the status window is, the better it is for the awakened person.
“I’m quite satisfied.”
The expected reaction brought a smile to Kim Jong-ho’s face.
It would be surprising if the disciples saw it.
It was a most satisfying smile.
His smile faltered for a moment.
“That won’t happen, but… “If there is a problem with the status window, please come to me at any time as Kim Hyun-tae.”
Those were meaningful words.
“Are there any side effects?”
“It’s a side effect… “It’s hard to explain.”
“… … ?”
Taehyun looked at him as if he needed an explanation.
“While I was touching the status window, I heard the voice of a person named Noname.”
“… … !!”
“It was a voice I had never heard before in my life. “You look like you already know this face?”
What should I say?
That’s when Taehyun was thinking like that.
Jongho Kim continued.
“Separate status window and quest system. That’s all I wanted to fix… .”
Kim Jong-ho paused for a moment, lost in thought.
When he opened his mouth again, the teacup had almost completely cooled down.
“I guess… “Your status window seems to be coming to life.”
Status window growth.
An explanation that even Taehyun found difficult to believe continued.
“Well then, I guess I’ll just take a break.”
“Remuneration will be paid through the secretary.”
“Hehe. Now, please stop by here sometimes and have someone to talk to. “I’m also curious about what’s going on in the world.”
“Of course.”
Taehyun left the workshop without any regrets.
After a while, the man who was in charge of Taehyun’s guidance, the third generation disciple, came in.
He seemed very excited when he learned that his teacher had worked on state windows for Kim Hyun-tae.
“S, Master. “May I ask what skills the person who just left had?”
he asked in a trembling voice.
“Disciple.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Please contact Association President Ji Jin-hee.”
“yes?”
“From now on, Doje Corporation will check the status window for association players free of charge, so feel free to skip it at any time.”
“yes?!!”
The student asked back in a puzzled voice, but Kim Jong-ho did not answer.
“New Korea has received great fortune.”
Unlike his tired face.
Kim Jong-ho started laughing.
* * *
New Korea Players Association.
Ji Jin-hee and Ko Tae-wook were talking in the association president’s office.
It was a sudden offer, no, a notification from Doje Corporation.
“Why did that strict old man suddenly… ?”
Ji Jin-hee reacted strangely to Kim Jong-ho’s sudden notification.
As his comrade in arms, he suggested joining hands with the association several times.
A man who always waved his hand saying he didn’t want to get involved in politics suddenly offered Doje Corporation’s services for free?
It was not unreasonable for Ji Jin-hee to be puzzled.
“It seems like there was some contact with Taehyun. It is said that the status window was inspected under the identity of Hyuntae Kim, issued by the president of the association. “Something must have been discussed.”
Ko Tae-wook reported as if it was no longer a big deal.
“her… Anyway, it worked out. The players’ power will be further strengthened. “Where is Taehyun?”
“… “We lost contact again.”
“Go away Hong Gil-dong.”
“I agree.”
How many people in the new Korea can avoid the eyes of the association to this extent?
It is time for Ji Jin-hee and Ko Tae-wook to think of ways to strengthen the association’s surveillance system.
“President of the Association!! “We’re in big trouble!!”
The secretary hurried in and raised her voice.
“hmm… Could this be another case of gray disease?”
Ji Jin-hee sighed and asked.
This is because most of the major issues reported are related to gray diseases.
However.
“An SS+ grade gate break has occurred in Japan.”
Ji Jin-hee laughed at the secretary’s words.
“haha… This is so sudden again… .”
“It’s finally exploded in Japan too.”
Go Tae-wook bitterly agreed.
Japan had strangely frequent gate breaks.
In particular, there have been quite a few S-class breaks recently.
Recently, there was an SS grade gate break in New Korea as well.
I was secretly thinking that if an SS+ grade break occurred, it would be Japan.
“What are the detailed locations?”
“It’s the sea near Fukuoka… .”
“hmm… .”
Wrinkles appeared on Ji Jin-hee’s forehead.
Fukuoka is not far from Busan.
This means that New Korea can also fall into the scope.
A day later.
The saint requested official help from New Korea.
