[Episode 10] Busan Station (2)
“!!!”
This pain was qualitatively different from the pain so far.
If the pain so far was like swelling of the body, the pain felt at level 20 was like stabbing the whole body with an awl.
I felt as if dozens of needles were piercing my skin and extending outward.
“Jaehyun! Jaehyun! Are you okay!?”
I heard Seo Ye-jin’s urgent voice, but I couldn’t respond.
“Jaehyun! breath! You need to breathe!”
It was because it was overwhelming just to endure the pain transmitted in real time.
The moment I was about to lose my mind thanks to the pain that lasted for several minutes.
The expansion of the realm is finally over.
“Heo-eok, hee-eok.”
Cold sweat soaked his entire body.
The muscles of the whole body, which had contracted due to the pain, were released at once, and a sense of exhaustion came.
I felt a slight weight in my chest, along with a sense of helplessness that seemed like I was about to fall asleep.
When I opened my eyes, Seo Ye-jin with a frightened expression was raising her hands on my chest.
I struggled to open my mouth.
“What are you doing…”
“To do CPR…”
I lifted my arm, which felt like wet cotton, and took her hand.
“···I am okay.”
As if my condition seemed serious, Kami, who was sitting on the sofa, came up to me and gave me a worried expression.
-Beep?
“···I’m okay.”
Kka-mi took a seat on my stomach instead of the sofa and lay down.
As I was gently petting him, I felt like I was getting drowsy.
Feeling drowsy, I closed my eyes and checked the newly expanded area of the house with the eyes of the absolute.
‘The scale is enormous.’
The area was extended over a wider area than expected.
The area was extended along the road.
Only the main roads traveled by cars were selected and increased, and the range was a wide area that included not only Jeonpo Station but also Seomyeon Station and parts of Bujeon Station.
It swallowed all the roads within a radius of 1 km centered on the apartment complex.
It was a damn wide area.
‘That’s why it hurt so much.’
Since the area has expanded to the largest scale ever, it could be said that it was a natural pain.
‘I’m tired.’
I desperately wanted to fall asleep for just 5 minutes.
But now was not the time.
I had to watch the Ha Dong-gun party, which was on a mission for me.
I sat up to wake up and asked Seo Ye-jin.
“Ye-jin, I’m sorry, but can I get you a glass of cold water?”
“Please wait.”
He didn’t even have the energy to use his invisible hand.
It was because he had used up all his energy to endure the pain, be it mental or physical.
“Here it is.”
“thank you.”
Drinking cold water made me feel a little clearer.
“Are you okay?”
“Thanks.”
With the eyes of an absolute, Ha Dong-gun looked at the party and checked the skill window.
It was to become level 20 and use the three granted skill points.
Among the skills with [+] next to the skill level, the skill to be leveled up first was already decided.
The most important skill in the current operation.
‘Level up the eyes of the absolute.’
[The Eye of the Absolute Eye skill is Lv. It has become 4.]
[Multi-vision function has been added.]
I immediately tried out the newly added features.
Multivision is literally a function that increases the number of sights using the eyes of the Absolute.
It became possible to observe several places at the same time.
I could feel the number of sights increasing.
‘Is 3 the limit yet?’
Now, it was an absolute eye that could be used as naturally as breathing, but as the field of view increased to three, there was a limit to concentration.
In order to increase my concentration even a little bit, I closed my eyes like the first time and started to focus only on the eyes of the absolute.
‘It feels like I’m sitting in a security room with CCTV screens.’
All three views were visible at the same time.
One was still showing Ha Dong-gun’s party, and the other was showing Kim Da-bin, who looked hectic.
And the last one was illuminating the people on the street, a newly expanded area.
“What happened?”
“I don’t know. All of a sudden, the goblins’ heads exploded and disappeared without giving money?”
It was Lee Jun-hyeok’s party, which he had recently joined.
It was this party that made up for the lack of experience gained from hunting goblins.
“Brother Junhyeok! Look over there!”
The woman pointed towards the alley and continued.
“I don’t think the goblins are getting in this way?”
Even though Lee Jun-hyeok got right in front of them, the goblins couldn’t do anything. Even if he swung a knife or weapon, it was blocked by the transparent wall and bounced off.
on the other side.
Fu-wook!
“Pretty much!”
It was possible to attack the goblins from Lee Junhyuk’s side.
“Isn’t this completely sweet?”
The party members were enthusiastic about it.
“Hey! I also! I haven’t caught one yet!”
“Didn’t you just catch me! I didn’t catch it either!”
“Get out of the way! I’m going to shoot a bow! If you don’t want to be hit by a bow, get out of here!”
The goblins instinctively fled as they sensed something was wrong, but it was too late.
Six goblins were killed in an instant by those who pursued them.
“What? It’s real. Aren’t there strange messages floating in the air?”
“Are you seeing this for the first time?”
“Ugh. It was the first time I caught it. Wasn’t Junhyuk too active today?”
Surprisingly, they were hunting goblins very well.
‘I guess the man’s words at that time weren’t very bluffing.’
It’s now that I’m leveling up and hunting in the safe zone, but it’s estimated that I’ve been fighting at least ten goblins before that.
Even so, not a single person seemed nervous.
It meant that he really experienced goblin hunting often.
‘This is the highest level among the general public groups I’ve seen so far.’
They were enjoying hunting.
And there was no hesitation at all about killing.
And not just some of them, but everyone here.
I don’t know if only those tendencies were able to survive or if they gathered together, but they seemed to perceive hunting goblins as something fun.
“But is this also his ability? This wall that keeps the goblins out.”
“maybe. I guess it’s an extension of the invisibility barrier we went through in the beginning?”
“Wow. It was a great ability. Wait a minute···.”
One of Lee Jun-hyeok’s group continued to speak with an uneasy look.
“If we go blind, won’t our heads just fly off like the goblins?”
“…”
“…”
The party members, who were excited by his remarks, shut their mouths at once.
“Well, then you just said that it was some kind of warning letter from him? Do you want me to listen?”
A heavy silence fell over the entire party.
“Ooh, did we do something wrong?”
By the time it spread to fear, Lee Jun-hyeok stepped out.
“Isn’t it okay if there is nothing to fly out of the snow?”
“What is Junhyeok?”
“Everyone has been through it. normal toilet. A house where you can shower with warm water. He is the one who gave me a house where I could make warm meals and sleep under a warm blanket.”
Lee Jun-hyeok looked around at the party members and said.
“So take care of yourself so that nothing goes out of sight, be neat and sensible. We just need to behave well.”
[Citizen Junhyeok Lee’s loyalty has exceeded 30.]
[Citizen Junhyeok Lee has met the conditions for vassal registration.]
Coincidentally, Lee Jun-hyeok satisfied the minimum requirements for vassal registration.
‘Register as a vassal, Lee Jun-hyeok.’
At that moment, a bright light radiated from Lee Jun-hyuk’s body.
“Huh?”
“What, what?”
“Brother Junhyeok!”
『Name: Junhyeok Lee (Lv. 40) [+]

EXP distribution rate: 0% (+100%)
★Quest given 』
{Wizard}
Skill power is increased by 100%.
Waterbomb (Grade A)
Summons and explodes compressed water with high heat. Power increases in proportion to the consumed mental power.
Control Water (Grade S)
By consuming mental power, you can freely manipulate the water you summoned.
‘Well?’
I never thought I would awaken my S-class abilities.
I didn’t think it would work out this far because the first level of ability Lee Jun-hyeok was holding was B.
‘Is it because the level was high?’
At the time of registering as a vassal, he was at level 33, the same level as when Owenju registered as a vassal.
‘I don’t think it’s just luck…’
The exact reason was unknown, but it was important that the results were good.
‘Anyway, it’s great.’
With this, the second S-class ability was born.
‘Quest granted.’
《Quest granted》
Quest Content: Try Water Bomb and Control Water.
Time limit: 10 minutes 00 seconds
Reward: Increased mental strength.
Failure penalty: mental exhaustion.
Citizens could not see their status window. Of course, he did not know the information about the new awakening ability he had acquired.
He could have learned how to use the skill naturally over time, but it was much faster to learn the skill name directly like now.
“Junhyuk, are you okay? The light just came from your body…!”
“Wait.”
Lee Jun-hyeok read the quest I gave him carefully and reached out his hand into the air.
And.
“Waterbomb.”
Wow!
A rather powerful explosion exploded in the air.
And.
shoot it
Drops of water spewed from the water bombs poured down as showers.
All the raindrops pouring down on the heads of Lee Jun-hyuk’s party were all water streams created by Lee Jun-hyuk.
“Control water.”
That moment.
The pouring water stopped in mid-air.
The moonlight scattered on the water droplets suspended in the air, creating a dreamy atmosphere.
Everyone was briefly mesmerized by the spectacle, like a large-scale magic show.
“Ugh.”
However, after a while, Lee Jun-hyeok’s concentration breaks.
shoot ah-
Drops of water fell all at once to the floor.
“!!”
“what’s this?”
“Junhyuk, did you do it?”
However, their words did not seem to reach Lee Jun-hyeok.
“Ha ha, ha ha ha ha!”
Lee Joon-hyeok, who had been laughing like crazy, suddenly looked around and bowed toward the apartment complex and hit his head.
“thank you! thank you!! I will never forget this grace!”
Lee Jun-hyeok’s sudden action made the party members stare at him with dazed faces.
And it was the same for me too.
[Citizen Lee Jun-hyeok’s credibility increases significantly.]
[Citizen Lee Jun-hyeok’s loyalty increases significantly.]
[Citizen Junhyeok Lee has completed the quest.]
[The quest costs 70,251 won.]
‘Uh. why are you like that It’s too much.’
Is this something to be thankful for while banging your head?
Although he had awakened good abilities, the reaction was too intense.
Still, it was nice to see her innocently happy like a child.
‘Quest granted again.’
I gave the same quest two more times and completed the daily quest at once.
[Citizen Junhyeok Lee has exhausted all available quests today.]
[Evaluate the quests performed by Citizen Lee Jun-hyeok.]
[······ Evaluation ·······]
While the daily quest evaluation was in progress, I seriously thought about how to use him.
‘Wouldn’t it be better to let Ha Dong-gun join the party?’
Now, leaving only Lee Joon-hyeok to join Ha Dong-gun’s party wasn’t very appealing.
Ha Dong-gun’s party was already a well-balanced party.
In a situation where their own teamwork is being completed, if Lee Jun-hyeok is put in, it will have to go through a creaking process like when Oh Eon-joo was put in for the first time.
‘Definitely, the value of the group that Lee Jun-hyeok is currently leading will drop drastically.’
They were tightly united with Lee Jun-hyeok at the center.
The moment Lee Jun-hyeok falls out of here, there is a high probability that he will turn into a ragtag.
Somehow, for the time being, Lee Jun-hyeok wanted to roll with his teammates.
[Assessment complete.]
[Spirit power increases massively.]
‘Well?’
Among the daily quest rewards, there were very few cases where the modifier ‘large amount’ was attached.
In terms of experience, it was at a level that I thought it would happen about once in 100 times, but it just exploded.
‘I’m lucky.’
Even if it wasn’t so, I was very tired from the intense pain caused by leveling up, but my mental strength increased and changed to a tolerable level.
at that time.
‘Well?’
Ha Dong-gun felt that the party was getting noisy.
