Episode 115

Tertiary erosion (4)

<It was a wonderful experience. I hope to see you again when I get the chance.>

<You have successfully loaded a high-level character. Increases mana by 4, strength by 5, stamina by 5, reflexes by 3, and mana sensitivity by 3.>

Immediately after Richard said his final greeting, a notification window appeared. And then the spinning wheel appeared. As usual, I loaded the wire from the album and the wheel started spinning.

<You have acquired the skill <Reflect Damage>.>

“Ah, it’s a skill.”

<The luggage is… The burden is so sad.>

I, too, would like to see talent come forward, but… The skills were also good. While others are spending thousands of dollars to get one skill stone, aren’t you given a skill as a bonus just by drawing it? It was also funny to whine about talent not showing up.

Jeong Do opened his status window and checked the skill column.

“… “There are a lot.”

It was filled with dozens of skills.

And it does not end here; it will continue to increase in the future. Others have 10, no, what is 10? Even if you have just five skills, you can be treated well in the industry.

Skills are that difficult to acquire.

Of course, it was a story that had nothing to do with Jeongdo.

To a certain degree, I even had the thought that there were so many skills that the skill window looked a bit messy, and if other people had found out, I could have been beaten to death.

“I think we need to organize things a little bit.”

There were no limitations such as skill points like in games, nor was there a limit to the number of skills that could be learned, so in fact, the more skills the better.

However, the reality was that even if the skills increased, only the skills that were used were continued to be used. Moreover, due to the nature of the draw, the skill you wanted was not always available, so there were cases where you drew a skill similar to a skill you already had.

For example, the <Five Rings> skill and <Elemental Weapon> skill that you currently have.

Both skills were skills that gave properties to weapons.

The attributes are the same: water, wind, earth, and furnace. No, since the <Five Rings> skill also had an unknown attribute called ‘Ball’, it was correct to see <Elemental Weapon> as backward compatible with <Five Rings>.

‘Is there any way to use this skill?’

The first thing that came to mind was the combination of skills.

A combination of skills that I experienced in Kaumka’s dungeon that I entered with Seo Sang-hee a while ago. Through <Communication>, existing skills were combined to create a more powerful skill. In this way, rebirthing an underused skill into a powerful skill will be of great help in the future. The fact that the skill window looks better is a bonus.

‘The problem is that I don’t know how to put it together.’

The skill combinations that have occurred so far were not intentional. <Communication> reacted as it pleased and created it as it pleased. I couldn’t figure out how the skills were combined.

‘When I meet Winry this time, I’ll have to tell her as a reward.’

<Crisis information> changed to <invasion information>.

Just as a reward was given for clearing <Crisis Information>, there was no doubt that Winry would give a reward for clearing <Invasion Information> as well.

maybe.

‘… ‘You’ll give it to me, right?’

Jeongdo cleaned up the dungeon while praising Winry in his heart.

* * * * * *

Jijijijik.

“Whoa.”

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the landscape filled with trees. The dungeon was cleared and closed without any problems. The time in the dungeon wasn’t very long, but the sun was already setting.

“older brother!”

Haesik came running not far away. Not only Hae-sik, but also Seo-yoon and Cheol-yoon were all there.

“Oppa, you worked hard.”

“I believed it! “He even single-handedly dealt with the monster on Mt. Fuji, so he’s pretty easy on the 3rd Cataclysm Dungeon!”

“But I was very worried when it didn’t come out after three days. Especially Seoyoon… .”

“… yes? three days?”

Jeong-do expressed doubts about Cheol-yoon’s strange words, but he continued speaking without any problem.

“okay. Today is exactly 5 days since you entered the dungeon. Even for you, it must have been a tough dungeon, right? “It’s like you forget the passage of time.”

Five days have passed? Not five hours?

Could it be that, as Cheol-yoon said, he was so absorbed in the battle that he even forgot the passage of time? No, that couldn’t have been possible. He revealed that he had only one character loaded in the dungeon, Richard, and that he remained loaded until the end of the battle.

Although it has been said that the load time has become longer due to the recent increase in mana due to level ups and rewards, it was never at the level of maintaining a black level character for 5 days.

“From what I feel, it only feels like a few hours have passed… “It looks like there is a time gap between the dungeon and reality.”

“hmm… I’ve heard that there are rare dungeons like that. “This is my first time seeing it in person.”

“Are there cases where there is a difference of several days like this?”

“Well, that’s fine. “I’ve had quite a bit of trouble in the industry, but I’ve never heard of someone being out of sync that much.”

“Maybe something changed due to the third cataclysm… By the way, five days have passed. How has the world changed in that time?”

“A lot has changed. Let’s move on first. “First of all, it doesn’t look like there are any serious injuries, but since I just returned from the dungeon, let’s do a medical check.”

In this way, the group finished their expedition on Mt. Taebaek. The world’s first 3rd Cataclysm Dungeon was cleared without a word.

* * * * * *

Jeong Do and his group returned to Seoul.

Although Jeong-do flatly said that he was fine, Cheol-yoon took him to the user hospital, saying that the guild leader should still get tested just in case.

Because Cheolyun had experience running a guild professionally, he took care of the health of guild members more carefully than anything else. He was a little bothered, but he knew it was because he was worried, so he went to the hospital to get checked out.

The results were, of course, flawless.

In fact, the level of physical data far exceeded that of ordinary users, so much so that it almost caused an uproar at the hospital.

Anyway, with the health confirmed, the expedition to Mt. Taebaek came to a complete conclusion. Jeong Do and the guild members were talking about the current situation at the cafe.

“I did a quick search on the way back, but it doesn’t seem like anything bigger happened than I thought, right?”

Jeong Do said that after manipulating Mana Watch and accessing the user community. He thought that the world would have been at least as shocked as the second cataclysm, but surprisingly, the world’s turmoil was not that great.

“Everyone came out cautiously because the dungeon of this 3rd cataclysm was obvious just by looking at it. “I also had a major nose injury once during the second round.”

The new dungeon that appeared due to the 3rd cataclysm spewed out excessive mana from the moment it was first created. It’s like a dungeon right before a dungeon break occurs. Everyone seemed to have sensed that energy and approached cautiously.

“To begin with, there weren’t that many new dungeons themselves. Around 100 worldwide? “There will be some dungeons that have been cleared just like you, so there will be fewer of them now.”

“Other people cleared it too… .”

I think the first dungeon I entered was a special case. If there was someone like Ramon in other 3rd dungeons, I would never have been able to clear it. It was very fortunate for Earth.

“Compared to right after the second cataclysm, the survival rate is much higher. “I experienced this once during the second round, so I prepared thoroughly before proceeding, and the level of users has increased a lot during that time.”

“I’m so glad.”

It was rewarding to unlock the experience points on the Earth. I hoped that in the future, humanity would work harder like it does now.

“What did you say about the other 3rd dungeons?”

“Basically, it’s similar to an intelligent monster, but the monsters seem to move much more systematically. “They said it was like the military.”

The military.

The dungeon he experienced was like the military itself. Of course, the scale of the enemy that other users experienced was very different from the scale of the enemy that I experienced.

If the monsters of the first cataclysm were wild animals, the second had developed to the level of bandits, and the third was an elite army itself. As erosion continued, the level of monsters invading the Earth was steadily rising.

“Still, I think it’s worth clearing more than I thought. There are no dungeons with breaks yet… “Is there anything else unusual?”

“It’s something special. Now that I think about it, I occasionally hear news of demon-like monsters appearing in dungeons. Other than that… .”

“Brother Cheolyun. You know what? That’s Mt. Fuji… .”

“Oh right! “There it was.”

Haesik, who had been quietly forgetting his muffin until now, joined the conversation. Cheolyun slapped his knee with an expression that said, ‘I forgot about this.’

“Mt. Fuji? Could it be that there is something else there…? .”

“No, not that. “You know what happened at Mt. Fuji?”

“Are you talking about Orochi?”

“No, not that one. “Before that, monsters kept appearing.”

“Ah, Spot.”

“Okay, Spot! “What happened on Mt. Fuji also happened elsewhere.”

“… yes? “That’s a big deal, right?”

I was quite surprised by the degree. Spot is one of the phenomena in the universe where tertiary erosion has occurred and refers to the phenomenon in which monsters are transferred directly rather than coming through a dungeon. It was the same as a dungeon break suddenly occurring, so of course it was a national emergency.

“Where are you? “Could it be Korea?”

“No, it’s on the other side of the world. uk.”

“… That’s a good thing. “The level of users there is high.”

“I think the place where the spot occurred in the first place was also extremely remote. They say there were no casualties… .”

Cheolyun, who had said that, glanced at his surroundings. Then he lowered his voice and carefully opened his mouth.

“In fact, the government and the association requested cooperation regarding that spot.”

I didn’t do it, I did it.

That said, not now. Do-do asked Cheol-yoon.

“Cooperation? Are you really asking me to close that spot?”

“No, not that. First of all, there are only three people on Earth who have experienced that spot. It was in the name of wanting to get advice on various things, but… “You never know.”

Cheolyun, who had said that, took a sip of coffee. Hae-sik followed him.

“In fact, on the first day of the third cataclysm, there was begging in England. Please let me meet my brother. If that doesn’t work, please let me meet Seo-yoon. But as each day passed, my attitude changed. “I thought you didn’t need any help anymore?”

“Hmm.”

To some extent, I could guess why Britain’s attitude had changed.

At first, they may have been confused by the sudden appearance of the monster and found themselves experiencing the spot.

But Britain also found out. Spot: The primary monsters in the early stages are very weak. In other words, high-quality resources called monsters came to me on their own.

A crisis is an opportunity.

Moreover, since the spot is said to be in a remote area with few people, it seems as if it was a gift from heaven.

But it was a bad idea.

At the time of Mt. Fuji, there was a device to perfectly control the spot, so it was left alone. At the beginning of spot creation, only weak primary monsters appear, so it feels like you’ve discovered a vein of gold, but as time goes by, stronger monsters appear. If such a monster escapes into the city due to neglect of management… Tragedy will begin.

Jeongdo would have closed it right away on the first day if Winry hadn’t given him complete control.

“Let’s take your mind off it for now. It’s not like they’re asking you to come, but it’s ridiculous to mess around with someone else’s country’s business. Let us mind our own business.”

How dare you leave a place where monsters might appear! It’s also a strange story to rush to England and force it to close. Although he unlocked experience points to prevent the destruction of humanity, he had no intention of taking care of all that.

“First of all, we should focus on leveling up and watching the world go by. “That’s all for today.”

Jeong Do and his party finished the meeting and headed home. In fact, although I didn’t express it, the battle with Ramon consumed so much mental energy that I just wanted to collapse and sleep.

‘But there’s still one left.’

Jeongdo returned home quickly. It wasn’t the old, worn-out one-room apartment it used to be. With the uncontrollable increase in money, he purchased an apartment in an apartment complex in Gangnam, where only the wealthiest Koreans live. Considering his level of wealth, this was also very frugal.

As soon as I entered the apartment, almost running, I opened the door to my new home.

“welcome. Mr. Jeongdo.”

A platinum-blonde woman in a maid uniform. Winry greeted her as if she were a real maid. She breathed a sigh of relief that she was relieved.

“I was wondering what would happen if you didn’t come, but I was worried for no reason.”

“A reward for a feat. These are the rules of the universe. Congratulations on successfully stopping the invasion. Mr. Jeongdo.”

The time for the first compensation after the third cataclysm has arrived.
