88. End of round 6
Hermes’ Feather Moen has an option called invisibility.
The ability to literally make the caster appear transparent.
‘It’s the perfect skill for an assassin.’
Assassins learn the invisibility skill at level 20.
However, this item can be used by anyone, even if they are not an assassin.
However, there is no difference in performance.
‘It allows anyone to use the invisibility skill. That’s the advantage of this item.’
Right now, Ryumin needed a utility like this rather than increasing damage.
‘You can do many things using invisibility.’
It can escape from CCTV and is also useful for surprising enemies.
If you hear this far, invisibility may seem like a very deceptive skill… … .
‘The downside is that it’s subject to presence detection. ‘Because only the body becomes transparent, and the sound cannot be killed.’
Presence detection is a common skill.
Ultimately, this means that anyone can detect invisibility as long as they learn to detect presence.
Moreover, invisibility is a skill that is canceled when attacking or being attacked.
The cooldown is also long, so it has a clear disadvantage in using it in battle.
However, there was another reason why Ryu Min highly valued transparency.
‘If you get the rune that hides your presence, your invisibility becomes almost invincible.’
Among the runes that can be obtained in round 9, there is [Rune of Stealth].
It is a deceptive rune that does not detect presence and removes the cooldown of invisibility when a surprise attack is successful.
It is also included in the list of runes that must be obtained.
‘After getting the rune of stealth, I was planning to purchase an item with the ability to become invisible… … .’
First of all, one of the two was secured.
After that, as long as you get the stealth rune in round 9… … .
‘You can use complete invisibility that even people at max level won’t notice.’
When I put on the feather hat in my inventory, a message appears.
[Wearing Hermes’ feather hat.]
[You can use the ‘Invisibility’ skill as an option.]
[Temporary Skill – Invisibility]
-Effect: You can completely hide yourself from your opponent. However, only the appearance is hidden and the sound cannot be helped.
Duration is 30 minutes. It is automatically released when attacking or being attacked. It can be canceled when desired and has a cooldown of 30 minutes.
A temporary skill called [Invisibility] has been added to the skill category.
As soon as you unequip the feather mockup, it will disappear again.
‘Even if I get better equipment later, I’ll have to keep the feather bristles.’ ‘Because invisibility is a skill that is helpful in many ways.’
There is no need to keep wearing it.
Just wear it whenever you need it and use the skill.
If you happen to sell it, you may sell it at a high price.
‘Because items with optional skills are popular regardless of grade.’
Ryumin used the special reward selection box this time.
[You can choose one of the following special rewards.]
[Please touch the reward you want.]
└ 1. Material item selection
└ 2. 14,000 gold
└ 3. Information about round 7
Originally, the first option was either an experience buff or a stat buff.
But it’s not both… … .
‘It means that in the 7th round, a quest that doesn’t require either will appear.’
If another player had been asked to choose, I would have recommended number 3 without hesitation.
Of all the rounds so far, nothing was as important as the 7th round information.
‘Some people might be tempted by the higher than usual amount of gold and choose number 2. but.’
There was no option to win number 3.
That’s how important information was.
‘At least for this 7th round.’
But Ryu Min’s biggest weapon is the experience and information from the 99th episode.
‘Of course, I discard number 3 and choose number 1.’
You have a choice of material items in hand.
I used it right away without even thinking about it.
[Choose one of the following ingredients.]
└ 1. Broken iron tree branch
└ 2. Bubbling solution
└ 3. Hard magic shell
… … … … … …
… … … …
└ 10. Angel’s Golden Powder
There are a total of 10 views.
If you don’t know the uses of material items, it will be meaningless what you choose.
‘For me who knows all the uses of each… … .’

I had decided what to choose.
‘Choose powder number 10.’
When I received the item, information appeared.
[Angel’s Golden Powder]
-Category: Belongings
-Description: Powder fluttering from an angel’s hair. It’s not dandruff.
Among the 10 examples, it was the only item used as a God grade material.
‘Now I just need to collect one more ingredient to make a god grade.’
The remaining ingredients will only be discovered after round 8, so there is no need to expect anything for the time being.

Crack, tap, tap, crack-
As soon as he opened his eyes, Ahn Sang-cheol jumped.
The place he went to was the hotel room where the CEO was staying.
Clap-clack-clack-thump!
“Representative Ma!”
Anyone else would have scolded me for making such a fuss in the middle of the night… … .
Crunch-squeak-
Ma Gyeong-rok, who opened the door, was just puzzled.
“Director Ahn? What happened that brought you here as soon as you returned?”
“Hey, can I go in and talk first?”
“Of course.”
Ma Gyeong-rok went inside and lifted the glass of whiskey he was drinking.
Finally, before I could invite him to sit down, Ahn Sang-cheol spoke with an excited expression.
“Representative. My level has risen tremendously.”
Ma Gyeong-rok shook his whiskey glass.
“Did you get there by partying with Black Scythe? By hunting for 6 hours?”
Ma Gyeong-rok also knew the situation because he had heard the same prophecy.
“So, how much did you raise so much that you came running so excited?”
“I went up from level 20 to level 34. That’s a whopping 14 levels up!”
“…….”
Ma Gyeong-rok’s hand, which was about to drink whiskey, stopped in midair.
“34? Are you sure?”
“Yes. It really went up a lot, didn’t it?”
“……It’s worth getting excited about.”
Ma Gyeong-rok asked, pouring out his whiskey with a bitter expression.
“Did you raise level 14 in 6 hours?”
“That’s right. Black Scythe, he hunted them all. Our party members were busy following them.”
“I guess they hogged the items instead of giving me a ride on the bus.”
“That’s right. But it’s not a waste at all to give up the item. I never imagined I’d be able to level up like this.”
“Me too. I never thought Director Ahn would be at a higher level than me…”
“What level is the CEO?”
“It’s 29.”
“ah.”
Ahn Sang-cheol decided not to open his mouth any more.
No matter what I say, it will make the CEO uncomfortable.
“Then I guess Actor Seo is at the same level?”
Ahn Sang-cheol looked at me and nodded quietly.
“Huh, I’m in a situation where I’m at a lower level than actor Seo. I guess I need to work harder, right?”
Ma Gyeong-rok, who was smiling bitterly, filled his whiskey glass.
“Tell me something, Director Ahn. Did you catch the black scythe that quickly?”
“Yes. The centaur died in one hit.”
“So it was fast. Even with the five of us on our team, it wasn’t that fast.”
After hearing the prophecy, Ma Gyeong-rok naturally formed a party and captured the centaur first.
It took some time to convince the party members, but the hunt went smoothly anyway and we were able to rise to first place in the area.
“It is indeed a black scythe. I heard in the results that it killed the Minotaur in just 1 second… Is this true?”
“Yes. He used some flashy skill and cut off his head with a single sword. It was a skill I had never seen before.”
“It looks like it’s a skill you learned at level 40. Considering that Director Ahn saw it for the first time.”
Ma Gyeong-rok was ranked 2nd and 3rd and was quite confident in his skills.
‘Kill the Minotaur with one skill? ‘In one second?’
I had no confidence in killing the boss so quickly.
‘The gap with the number one ranking is this big… … .’
It was more bitter than surprising.
‘Will I be able to become that strong when I reach level 40?’
The Dark Knight’s skills are powerful.
Ma Gyeong-rok is also satisfied.
but.
‘Not as good as the Black Scythe.’
Even if it reaches level 40, I don’t know if it will be able to show such majesty.
I can’t be sure.
‘Rather than worrying about things like that, I should raise my level first.’
A situation where your subordinates are actually at a higher level than you.
My pride doesn’t allow me to settle for this.
I have a motivation that I never had before.
“I need to work harder.”
“…….”
Ahn Sang-cheol was silent as he watched Ma Gyeong-rok pouring down a full bottle of whiskey in one shot.
What can he say when he unintentionally hurts the CEO’s pride?
I felt like I was sitting on a thorn cushion.
“I have to thank the Black Scythe. I’ve been lazy lately, but it gave me motivation that I didn’t have before.”
“…….”
“Besides, we even managed to level up Director Ahn and Actor Seo. I guess I should at least give them a reward when we meet later, right?”
“Shall I find a way to personally compensate you?”
“No. Didn’t you give up the item in exchange for experience points anyway? And since my subordinate received help, I, as the representative, should file the case.”
“…….”
“When the Prophet comes later, I’ll have to ask him when I can meet the Black Scythe.”
“Did the Prophet survive?”
“It would be quicker to call to confirm when it’s time to ask about it. That’s also Director Ahn’s job.”
“Ah, I was short of thought. Sorry. I’ll check right now….”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about. Please let me know right away when you’re done checking. Oh, did you learn the skill I was told to learn before?”
“Yes, I have definitely learned the tracking and erasing traces you mentioned earlier.”
“Then, come out later to clean up and use your skills. I’m planning to take out some trash for the first time in a while.”
“Are you going to work at this hour? It’s getting brighter now…”
“It’s okay. I’m not going to kill you outside anyway.”
“Ah, I understand. Representative.”
Ma Gyeong-rok looked out the window, leaving behind Ahn Sang-cheol, who was giving a folder greeting.
The cloudy weather was perfect for relieving stress.
* * *
Seo A-rin was thankful for the black scythe.
They say they gave me items in return, but I got a lot more experience and gold than that.
‘I feel like I’m always indebted to Black Scythe.’
Whether it’s because of the high level this time or because you saved my life last time.
I don’t think I was able to repay much in return for the help I received.
‘I also want to be of great help to Black Scythe, but it’s not easy… … .’
At best, the only thing you can do is hand over a magic gemstone of the lowest level or say thank you.
‘No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know what to do to help. It’s not like I really need help… … .’
Ah, when I thought about it, it wasn’t.
The Black Scythe also needs help from others.
Isn’t there a girl who constantly gives you buffs?
‘It was democracy, right? The woman who is in a contract with Black Scythe… … .’
Since it’s an avatar, it’s meaningless to compare their looks, but they both have pretty faces and lively personalities.
‘Plus, a decent buff.’
I think I can understand why the black scythe carries her around.
Just being together will be of great help.
‘I want to be helpful too… … .’
Fairy has a buff, but at best it’s a thin shield.
There are many shortcomings in helping as a summoner.
‘I need to think about it.’
Seo A-rin left the house wearing a hat and took the elevator.
I was thinking of stopping by a convenience store and picking up some snacks.
Ding-
The elevator going down stopped at the bottom floor.
“Huh? Actress Seo Ah-rin?”
I ran into Ryu Min, a neighbor and business associate of CEO Ma Gyeong-rok.
And also a prophet.
“Oh, hello.”
Seo A-rin bowed her head politely.
There was someone else besides Black Scythe to thank.
“Thanks to the information the Prophet gave me, I was able to get through round 6 safely. Thank you.”
“With something like that.”
Ryumin, who had been talking casually, fell silent.
Seo A-rin looked at him quietly.
‘He’s an amazing person. I’m 20 years old and have no social experience, but I can’t believe I can be so confident in front of CEO Ma Kyung-rok. Moreover, business acumen… … .’
Seo A-rin was afraid of Ma Gyeong-rok, but it seems she wasn’t afraid of Ryu Min.
Of course, since he was a prophet, he could act confidently… … .
‘If I were a prophet, would I have acted like this person?’
no.
Even if you have the same ability, you don’t have the guts to do it.
“Where are you going, Prophet?”
“Oh, I’m going to stop by the convenience store.”
“Convenience store? Me too.”
At that time, something to help Seo A-rin suddenly occurred to her.
The Black Scythe had nothing to help, but the Prophet could.
“I’m on my way right now, so have me run the errand for you. It’s my neighbor’s house, so I’ll bring it to you on the way up.”
“No, you don’t have to.”
“Still, I received something from the Prophet and I want to help you with something.”
Ryumin seemed to think for a moment and then shook his head.
“You can’t make celebrities run errands.”
“It’s something I like to do….”
“If they hear that I made you run an errand for no reason, will those fans scold you?”
“ah…….”
Seo A-rin’s head hung low.
I couldn’t see the face, but I could read what kind of expression it was making.
“If you really want to help, please sign my name.”
“Yes? Sign of death?”
“Because my younger brother is a fan of actress Seo Ah-rin.”
‘Ah, you’re trying to get it for your younger brother.’
The prophet who said that turned his head.
Seo Ah-rin was the most popular among men in their 20s, but she didn’t get along with the man in front of her.
“Sure, I will.”
Seo A-rin felt somewhat sad.
