<Mushin Returns to Level 2 Episode 56>
[Won the TOP 100 promotion match.]
[You will receive 1 million GP as a reward.]
[Level increases by 5.]
… … .
[Obtain the title ‘King of Kings – Bronze’.]
What was waiting for Seong Ji-han when he returned from the game was a torrent of system messages.
‘It is indeed TOP 100.’
The reward was significant, as was the grandiose title of first place among all bronze medalists in the world.
Seong Ji-han, who was checking the reward list one by one, focused on the title he had recently obtained.
[King of Kings – Bronze]
-A title given to the winner of the TOP 100 promotion match.
-In Silver League, all abilities increase by +5, and a 50 percent increase in experience is applied.
It was a title that was no different from ‘Ruler of the Bronze League’.
‘I will finally be given the title of person who conquered the tutorial.’
Seong Ji-han changed the title he had been using a lot and continued to check system messages.
[Won in TOP 100.]
[Cleared the special achievement, ‘Win in TOP 100.’]
[You will receive 10,000 achievement points as a reward.]
[I won the TOP 100 without a gift.]
[Cleared the special achievement, ‘No. 1 with no talent.’]
[You will receive 50,000 achievement points as a reward.]
‘Should I be thankful to the wandering warrior god?’
After Musin took away the F-class gift, the number of achievement points earned on his behalf was already 90,000.
In particular, the achievement of winning the TOP 100 without a gift was so great that it was equivalent to the achievement point reward received from the Epic Quest.
This clearly showed how difficult it was to get this far without any gifts.
‘How can I use this… … .’
At the time, Seong Ji-han was happily thinking about how to strengthen himself with the rewards pouring in.
Jump up!
“uncle!!!”
The door was quickly opened and Yoon Se-ah came running in.
Yoon Se-ah’s expression was extremely serious.
He was so restless that his face was pale.
“Uh, count. Just got back… … .”
“Look where you are.”
Even before Seong Ji-han finished speaking, it was his nephew who started examining various parts of his body.
Soon after confirming that there was nothing wrong, Yoon Se-ah, who seemed to have lost her mind, asked the whole story.
“I thought something big was going to happen. The screen that was working fine turned black after my uncle broke the barrier… … “Are you okay?”
“then! “It’s nothing.”
My arm was cut off by the shadow sword, but that is an injury that can be suffered at any time while playing Battle.net.
Additionally, Battle.net is no different from an online game, so there will be no damage when you return to reality.
“Look at this. “The shirt is still the same.”
Seong Ji-han raised both hands.
The right arm, which had been burned while using the thunderbolt, was recovered, including the shirt, and was fine.
The left arm that was cut off by the sword of darkness soaring high in the sky… … .
“… … Uncle, this place was cut off?”
The shirt disappeared from the elbow area, exposing bare skin.
“This… … .”
For an instant, Seong Ji-han’s frown narrowed.
To what extent does being cut by the Constellation have any effect in the real world?
Still, I thought it was fortunate that my entire arm wasn’t cut off and only the clothes were gone.
That relief was short-lived.
Yoon Se-ah was scared and stamped her feet.
“Say, uncle! Arms, arms!!! what’s the matter!”
“… … !”
Seong Ji-han’s left arm was stained with black light, and its shape began to disappear, as if only that part was immersed in darkness.
Eventually, the left arm completely disappeared, immersed in darkness, as if it had never existed in the first place.
Seong Ji-han judged the situation calmly.
First of all, the sensation in my arm was normal.
‘It doesn’t feel like it’s gone at all. I think I might be able to move… … .’
Seong Ji-han tried to move his left arm.
That moment.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
In the darkness, my left arm suddenly popped out intact.
“What, what? “Do you have arms?”
“huh. “I feel like it’s normal.”
“uh… … uncle? “Is there a strange tattoo on your elbow?”
“A tattoo?”

When Seong Ji-han turned his arm after hearing Yoon Se-ah’s words, there was indeed a black tattoo engraved on his elbow.
When I looked closely, I saw that it was a pattern symbolizing the sun.
When Seong Ji-han turned his arm after hearing Yoon Se-ah’s words, there was indeed a black tattoo engraved on his elbow.
Wiggle-
Moreover, the pattern on the edge even moved round and round.
When the two remain silent in this unknown situation.
[——.]
An unidentifiable sound was heard from the pattern.
It was a language similar to the one spoken by the black-eyed dark elf.
“… … I have to count. “Can you hear this sound?”
“huh? “What are you talking about?”
“… … .”
It was a sound that only Seong Ji-han could hear, which Yoon Se-ah did not recognize.
However, for Seong Ji-han, it was frustrating because he couldn’t figure out what they were talking about.
As if to represent Seong Ji-han’s thoughts, a system window appeared before his eyes.
[Shadow of the Sun (Curse)]
-Rating : ? (cursed state)
-Terminal of the constellation ‘Shadow Queen’.
-It resides in the body as a curse.
-Absorbs the user’s GP and experience points until the curse is lifted.
‘Shadow of the sun?’ Did it come with it when the arm was cut off?
Just looking at the explanation, it was a terrible curse that absorbed experience points and GP, which could be said to be the player’s base.
Of course, I don’t know how it will change once the curse is lifted by absorbing it like that.
‘I have a busy way to go, but it would be a waste to lose experience and GP for this.’
However, you can’t cut off your arm.
I tried sending divine power to my elbow just in case, but perhaps it was different from the normal dark energy, and the black sun just mixed with that energy without any problem.
‘hmm… … .’
Seong Ji-han looked back at the message from a little while ago.
The format of the message clearly came from the item description.
If so, it could be assumed that this shadow of the sun was also treated as an item.
‘Then, is emergency recovery also available?’
Seong Ji-han purchased emergency recovery from the achievement store and tried it out.
just as expected.
Shadow of the Sun was active on the emergency recoverable list.
‘good.’
Anyway, there are a lot of achievement points I acquired this time, so I guess I can use around 10,000.
“Emergency recovery.”
[Restore ‘Shadow of the Sun (Curse)’… … .]
[The state of the curse of ‘Shadow of the Sun (Curse)’ is extreme, so only part of it will be restored.]
‘Isn’t it enough to just do it once?’
Unlike Dongbangsak’s brush or Hermes’ monocle, since it was an item containing the constellation’s curse, it could not be restored immediately even if emergency recovery was used.
Seong Ji-han was so excited, he purchased and used emergency recovery once more.
[Restore ‘Shadow of the Sun (Curse)’… … .]
[The state of the curse of ‘Shadow of the Sun (Curse)’ is extreme, so only part of it will be restored.]
Seong Ji-han frowned.
‘… … ‘One last time.’
I missed it twice, but it’s a shame to give up like this.
Lastly, I thought about using emergency recovery, and Seong Ji-han used emergency recovery.
[Restore ‘Shadow of the Sun (Curse)’… … .]
[The curse of ‘Shadow of the Sun (curse)’ has been lifted.]
[Shadow of the sun]
-Grade: SS
-Terminal of the constellation ‘Shadow Queen’.
-Maintains a link with the constellation and strengthens shadow control abilities.
-Shadow sword, can be converted to the form of ‘Eclipse’.
-You can increase your level through the power of the constellation ‘Shadow Queen’.
[This is the tutorial period. The ‘Constellation Terminal’ function is limited.]
Seeing the newly revealed item description, Seong Ji-han’s eyes calmly sank.
The grade is SS.
If the power of the constellation is given, the level may go up one more level.
Looking at it up to this point, it seemed like a fairly useful item… … .
‘It’s a half-assed item.’
A prerequisite for using this item is the use of the Shadow Control ability.
And in order to gain shadow control ability, connection with the constellation is essential.
However, the ‘Constellation Terminal’ function for this was limited due to the tutorial period.
‘I have no choice but to leave it until next year.’
If this were the case, I wouldn’t have had to spend 30,000 achievement points right away.
It was when Seong Ji-han was thinking like that while looking at the black sun.
[…] … What did you do earlier?]
The Dark Elf language, which I had no idea what was being said, was automatically translated and heard.
“a moment ago?”
[huh… … ? My words. Can you hear it?]
* * *
Meanwhile.
The broadcasters for the Bronze League TOP 100 promotion match were in an uproar.
=Woe, the screen doesn’t come out!
At some point, the broadcast screen was covered in darkness, and the broadcast was not transmitted.
=Huh, this happens even if you change the mode to the player’s first person perspective… … .
=What on earth is going on? … The unprecedented broadcasting accident in the history of Battle.net broadcasting occurs!
=This can’t be happening. This will be managed by the Battle.net system… … .
On broadcast, only the voices of the commentators are heard.
The screen turns black and nothing can be seen.
=Christoph! If this happens, what will be the result of the game? … .
=Well, I don’t know either! This is the first time something like this has happened.
again.
Lee Ha-yeon, who was watching this at home, was clutching the TV and screaming.
“Ahhh! “What happened?”
Since Barron, who bet a large amount of money, is ruined, Seong Ji-han must win first place and save even the smallest bet!
But what kind of situation is this?
Since I didn’t know what was going on inside, I had no idea what the outcome of the game would be.
‘The game could have been over!’
Let the shadows kill you, why did you save another player?
Are you sure you have no intention of winning?!
Lee Ha-yeon, who did not know that Seong Ji-han had an epic quest, could not understand Seong Ji-han’s actions.
How many minutes had passed since I looked at the black screen with such a mesmerized expression?
[Last Survivor – Seong Ji-han]
Suddenly, a short system message appeared on the black screen.
I don’t know what happened in the dark, but in any case, Seong Ji-han took first place.
“Phew… … .”
Only then did Lee Ha-yeon breathe a sigh of relief.
lived
Fortunately… … Fortunately, I was able to save some money.
In Lee Ha-yeon’s ears, the words of the American commentary were heard.
=Um… … I don’t know what happened, but player Seong Ji-han! He wins the TOP 100 and graduates to Bronze!
=Now that it has been revealed that players without a guild are so powerful, the competition to recruit them will become fiercer.
=Yes. I will put my 5 years of commentary experience on the line. We, the United States, must recruit this player. It doesn’t matter how much money it costs, I really hope the government will use its power!
=The negotiation team must have already started after watching this game! Let’s look forward to it!
For a moment, Lee Ha-yeon’s expression hardened.
After earning at least the minimum amount of money, his mindset as a head of a guild of the opposite s*x, rather than as a potter, returned.
‘Come to think of it. Jihan… … ‘It was self-promotion to the world.’
Is there an off-standard player who defeated Baron, who has an SSS-level gift, in one blow and even broke through the stadium barrier?
Moreover, now in 2020, the tutorial is coming to an end.
At a time when each country is putting their lives on the line to recruit outstanding players for next year?
Then, the value of Seong Jihan is… … .
Lee Ha-yeon’s mind became distant.
‘From the opposite s*x… … ‘Can I recruit him?’
Although it is a guild that enjoys the opposite s*x domestically, it has its limitations when compared globally.
‘I think this might be a bit difficult… … .’
And just as Lee Ha-yeon worried, the Battle.net departments in each country that watched this game were busier than ever to save the biggest fish, Seong Ji-han.
In particular, the country that took action first.
It was Japan, which had been interested in Seong Ji-han for a long time.

New Self-Defense Force executive conference room.
“How is it.”
At this gathering of numerous Self-Defense Force executives, Kazuo Takeda, head of the recruitment department for the New Self-Defense Forces, was giving an impassioned speech with a lively expression on his face.
“Although he did not reveal the status window, he proved his abilities in the TOP 100.”
[Last Survivor – Seong Ji-han]
When Takeda’s clumsy finger pointed at the text on the monitor in the conference room, a sigh escaped the audience.
“I do it again! For player Seong Ji-han! “I tell you that you should use ‘that method’ even if you don’t have status window data.”
“surely… … “He is a great talent.”
“But I think we should wait a little longer. “What are you going to do if you recruit someone who hasn’t even revealed their gift, and they don’t grow as much as expected?”
“I agree with that. And wouldn’t it be right to use ‘that method’ on players who will become powerful immediately? Like the Sword King.”
“hmm… … I think Takeda is right. Even at a glance, that player’s potential is enormous. “He definitely has the talent to be as big as the Sword King.”
“No, but it’s silver now! Wouldn’t it be too wasteful to use that method? “Just throw in the money!”
“her. “If it were a money fight, would we beat America?”
A heated argument broke out among the executives of the New Self-Defense Force.
Unlike in the past, when the status window was dismissed as meaningless before the release, public opinion was quite divided.
Takeda, who was watching this with mixed eyes, turned his attention to the person sitting at the head of the conference room.
“What do you think, Minister of Defense?”
Japan’s Minister of Defense, equivalent to Korea’s Minister of National Defense.
He quietly watched the discussion, then blurted out one word.
“As soon as this match ended, I received a message from the ‘goddess.’”
“Well, if you are a goddess… … ?”
All the executives’ eyes lit up.
The special method they refer to.
Because the goddess was the subject who did this.
“I have a relationship with the Sword King. “First of all, you’re saying you’re going to send an immolation to him.”
“ah… … Is that so.”
“Then there was no need for us to discuss this.”
“That’s right.”
“But the goddess herself came forward even without us asking…” … .”
The New Self-Defense Force executives tilted their heads.
The goddess they knew was not that active.
It’s really rare to make the first move like this.
‘The author… … ‘Is it worth it?’
I don’t know what I saw in that Korean, but it was something very unusual.
As the executives were adjusting their evaluation of Seong Ji-han upward, the Minister of Defense spoke.
“It’s Takeda.”
“yes!”
“Be active in Korea like you are now and prepare to meet the goddess. Even if he is an alter ego, he is a goddess, so he must never go against the etiquette.”
“Ah, I understand!!”
Takeda bent his back to 90 degrees and shouted loudly.
‘Sung Sang. Now that the goddess has stepped forward, it’s over… … !’
Takeda’s eyes were filled with deep excitement.
