[To learn the 1-star barrier’ Optical Refraction,’ you need to deploy 3 runes…]
That one was easy.
Jin-hyuk had drawn the runes in an instant before the status window explanation was even finished.
The Moon Imprint engraved on his shoulder instantly radiated a dazzling light.
[You have acquired the 1-star barrier ‘Optical Refraction’]
[Won the Cookie Bag Event!]
[750,000 coins will be refunded!]
[Do you want to challenge yourself to learn the next barrier?]
It was a method of adding new information to previously known knowledge.
Like a type of infusion education system, new content about Optical Refraction permeated through Jin-hyuk’s mind.
‘Oh. Could Optical Refraction be used this way?’
A smile appeared on Jin-hyuk’s lips.
Even if you already knew 99% of the material, the 1% of new info that could be learned was enough to be amazing.
This was why it was better to have chosen an unknown job.
It’s been a really long time since he’s been able to learn something new.
‘Definitely, formally acquiring it will help understand the barrier more completely.’
Jin-hyuk immediately opened the next barrier skill.
[If you want to learn the 1-star barrier ‘Under Dark Feet’…]
A trap barrier?
Again, Jin-hyuk drew the appropriate runes before the explanation was finished.
He didn’t need to listen to these basic descriptions.
And that was that.
This was a level that he could do in his sleep.
‘Well, it is just 1 star.’
Jin-hyuk thought this as he opened the next task.
An endless cycle of taking up a new challenge and getting a coin refund ensued.
Most players who chose to learn about barriers would end up holding their heads and grunting in frustration. It involved solving many difficult questions.
However, for Jin-hyuk, this was just basic stuff.
Time passed.
The number indicating the barrier’s level began to increase.
[2 star…]
[3 star…]
The status windows rapidly flashed in front of him. The higher the difficulty, the faster the barrier was completed.
He was slowly accumulating many skills.
Finally…
[Just stop this, you idiot!]
[We are going to end up out of business!]
[Somehow, he doesn’t spend a single coin and is eating up all our things! This little bastard!]
The system, which had its limits exceeded, began to run rampant. This was an act that completely disregarded morality.
The endless repetition of giving and withdrawing coins inevitably made the system angry.
However, Jin-hyuk just ignored it.
“Hey. This is a very good place. What is this? They are generously giving me many things.”
Whether it hurts the system or not.
This was just him exercising his right under the set rules.
Jin-hyuk further increased his speed.
Barriers that were difficult to understand had been fully blazed through.
And finally…
[You have acquired the 117th barrier.]
He cleared every barrier challenge.
All of it happened in under two and a half hours.
6th floor of the Tower of Trials
After finishing all his work outside the Tower, Jin-hyuk headed towards the meeting place for the elves’ festival.
‘It’s nice to be free, but it’s only then that I feel like the main character of an apocalypse.’
Initially, it was a place that players wouldn’t be able to often find. However, after the news of the 10th-floor attack spread and that only the right people could enter.
Everyone turned their eyes to Unknown.
To be precise…
‘Chung Yuseong who believes in Unknown.’
Jin-hyuk’s face became sinister.
The situation where Chun Yuseong was seen with Unknown would spread.
It was only due to pity, but thanks to the fans’ wild imaginations, he gained new fans.
He didn’t know for sure, but around Chun Yuseong now must be a ton of reporters, guild representatives, and fans trying to get more information.
For that purpose, the existence of Chun Yuseong was omitted from his video of the 10th-floor raid.
‘I have to apologize later.’
He probably wouldn’t like it, but that guy would understand if Jin-hyuk explained it properly.
Probably….
Yeah, probably….
Jin-hyuk erased the topic of Chun Yuseong from his mind.
Considering what that damn swordsman was like, he would probably try to find a new way to fight.

Instead of that troublesome thought, Jin-hyuk instead summoned his pet from his subspace.
Sweet Potato toddled and looked around.
It was only recently born, so everything must look strange to it.
“Green pood!”
“Right. Grass.”
Jin-hyuk looked at Sweet Potato, who was smelling the grass.
Watching his black pet wiggle, he thought that Sweet Potato would also get excited by snow one day.
As expected.
Roasted sweet potatoes were the best in winter.
The happy and peaceful atmosphere continued.
Until it tried to put a poisonous mushroom in its mouth.
“Wait! You cannot eat that!”
“Red pood!”
If it died, it would be of no use to everyone.
Of course, ancient species beasts won’t get sick from just one poisonous mushroom, but…
’Phew….“
Jin-hyuk lets out a deep sigh.
This was why parents said they shouldn’t take their eyes off their kids even for a second.
After the brief panic, Jin-hyuk continued to walk through the forest with Sweet Potato.
Only three hours remained.
He had to hurry to be there on time. How long did he spend walking through the forest?
Finally, the two of them managed to reach their destination.
But…
‘f*cking elves.’
He arrived on time, but Silvia was nowhere to be seen.
Did they think being late by just one or two hours was an achievement because they have long lives?
How could they treat a promise to meet on time so lightly?
However, Jin-hyuk shook his head.
Enough.
If he tried to discuss the preciousness of time in this game, it would end with his loss.
‘I need to do something I couldn’t finish in the hotel.’
He was planning to do it after entering the Village of the Elves.
However, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to deal with it now. Jin-hyuk activated his status window.

Barrier: The number of barriers learned is too many, and so it has been set aside.
—
So full!
All of this resulted from how much effort he had spent running in the Tower.
‘Looks like there are too many barrier types, so it’s being displayed like this.’
The most important thing was to distribute the stat points he had.
Jin-hyuk narrowed his eyes. Until now, he had been mainly increasing his magic stat, but now he wanted to make some changes.
‘Since I skipped 4 floors at once, I think I need to balance the other stats for the 11th floor.’
Especially stamina.
To create a perfect synergy with Shallow Breathing, it is better to raise his stamina first.
After the 10th floor, battles would become more prolonged, so stamina was needed.
[Strength increased from 20 to 22]
[Agility increased from 20 to 22]
[Stamina increased from 20 to 31]
He also raised his other stats, but his main focus was stamina.
In this way, stat distribution was done.
‘I am getting stronger.’
His experience as a veteran and his skills also filled his strength. There was even a large stat reward after his first clear.
Ba-dump!
Jin-hyuk’s heart beat rapidly.
It was hard to hide the excitement of growing beyond what anyone else could reach.
Right.
‘I will be the one to reach the top.’
Without a single mistake, only the best processes would produce the best results.
Because he had already seen the top of the Tower.
And…
‘Because no one else can see the top even now.’
No one else but him in the world could climb to the end.
Jin-hyuk once again strengthened his resolve.
At that moment.
“Uh! You are here early!”
An elf with short hair and pointed ears appeared from behind the bushes.
It was Sylvia the Ranger.
Jin-hyuk frowned and asked.
“… I came early?”
Did she just say that?!
“W-what is it?”
“Do you know how long I have been waiting?”
“Uh? Th-that is well, I …”
Silvia shook her head slightly.
Sigh.
He caught her.
“Do you see this? Even a mushroom grew on my body as I waited too long.”
“Ah… I don’t see it…”
“Be quiet! What are you talking about right now! Uh!? More importantly, my child here has an upset stomach due to eating that!”
Jin-hyuk pointed his finger at Sweet Potato.
“Red Pood.”
The leftover mushroom crumbs were around its mouth. It was an absurd remark, but Silvia’s face turned pale at Jin-hyuk’s words.
Her lips trembled as if she had done something terrible.
There was nothing like making fun of an inexperienced novice ranger.
Was it like the difference between an old stag beetle and a newborn one?
In the end, Silvia had to pay the price for being half an hour late
“T-that… I am sorry. I thought you came early. I didn’t know you had been waiting so long.”
“Let’s not do it like this in the future. Uh?”
“Yes, yes! Next time I will come on time.”
Silvia nodded.
Jin-hyuk felt his mood improve as he saw the appearance of a submissive elf.
“But why are you so late?”
“Ah. Actually, I had work to do for the festival. It might sound like an excuse, but I was busy due to that.”
“Well, collecting ‘swamp figs’ isn’t an easy task.”
At Jin-hyuk’s words, Silvia looked shocked.
“H-how do you know that?”
How did he know?
He knew because he had gone to their village before a festival once before and remembered all of the elves bending down to collect these things.
“Where did you pick it?”
Jin-hyuk roughly wrapped up the matter and turned to the forest.

“We need to go to the left to see the village…”
Tch tch.
This was an elf?
“It is a lot faster this way.”
Silvia reached out to him, but Jin-hyuk ignored her and began to take the lead.
