Part 2 Awakening
It is already evening.
At 18:00, the shop closes.
It is open 12 hours from 06:00 in the morning. After the first customer, 2 appraisal customers, 3 artifact purchases, and a small amount of potions and scrolls were sold.
“Today is over.”
That’s what business is.
There is no sales, and there is no more when there is no sales. You should know that sales are not stable because you are no longer an office worker.
“Jihoo are you here? Spicy Jeyuk Rice Bowl today?”
“Yes, please.”
I can’t be that happy if I have a can of beer on my meat at the end of the day. Also, I am lucky to have a restaurant like this close by.
“Jihoo, did you hear the news?”
“yes? What do you have?”
“I heard that the [Knights of the Cold Cold] are coming from Seoul? [Tower of Indomitability] I’m going to attack the 18th floor.”
“Oh yeah?”
“know? Is it ‘Choi Hye-yeon’ who cut off and stopped the kraken group that came up from the West Sea this time? He said he was in command! Aren’t you curious?”
The witch of dragon slaughter, Choi Hye-yeon.
The dragon was not a real dragon, but a drake mixed with dragon blood, but that alone made her a global star.
It is a knight who emits aura blades that exceed 10m, but it is said that he uses the power of a witch as a [characteristic] that arises after awakening.
It means that he is a strong player who can never be seen in such a B-class tower.
“Oh yeah?”
“I would love to come here. If you take a picture and hang it up, you’ll become famous. Ho Ho.”
Jihoo didn’t express himself, but he felt uncomfortable.
[Knights of Cold Cold] is one of the five guilds belonging to [Samhyeon PMC] under Samhyeon Group. But nothing special.
It’s a story that has nothing to do with Jihoo.
Should I say it’s annoying rather than annoying?
‘The company I worked for was a subcontractor for [Samhyeon Artifact].’
Of course, Samhyun is a huge corporation with dozens of subsidiaries, and [Samhyun Artifact] and [Samhyun PMC] should be viewed completely differently.
Just like that, it was when Jihoo arrived home and opened a can of beer.
– Finding fit.
– System is being applied.
Letters floated in the air.
Jihoo was taken aback.
It is awakening.
I was puzzled. To wake up so suddenly, I didn’t do anything special, I didn’t climb a tower or kill a monster.
Besides, suddenly in your mid-thirties?
However, expectations were also raised.
‘At least towards the emotions.’
To become an A-class appraiser in a B-class appraiser, magical talent is important, but it doesn’t matter if you have characteristics. Also, in order to aim for rank A or higher, you must have [Emotion] related characteristics.
– System application completed.
– Status window setting complete.
– Activation of characteristics and completion of detailed settings.
– Attribute [Set Intervention Permission] Awakening Completed.
– 100 SP is paid as a beginner user privilege.
In ordinary cases, ‘awakening’ gives you special powers that ordinary humans can’t even imagine.
It was the power of a [system] that cannot be scientifically explained, and someone calls it a [miracle] or a [miracle].
“… … Status window.”
I know this much.
I’m not a hunter, but how much time did I spend with them?
『Status Window』
Name: Shin Ji-hoo
Age: 35
Power: Lv. 01
Rating: None
This is the most basic profile.
name and age. Up to power level and hunter rank.
“It is new.”
It’s not a big deal, but it’s amazing that it’s projected on the retina.
If you turn the next page, you will find even more amazing content.
『Basic Abilities』
[Muscle 7] [Magic 15]
[Stamina 10] [Spirit 21]
[Endurance 11] [Intelligence 23]
[Intelligence 8] [dexterity 25]
[Sense 19] [Perseverance 23]
basic abilities.
There are 10 figures in total. The general average is 10, which is not bad. I especially like his mental strength and dexterity.
The rest of his physical abilities are weak overall, but he has no intention of becoming a hunter, so he doesn’t have to worry about it.
next page.
Talent :
[Slightly delicate dexterity (D)]
[Slightly superior mental strength (C)]
[Insignificant but not bad magic talent (F)]
It is a talent.
From nob le mt l. co m
Magical talent is insignificant. there is still something If I didn’t have this, I would have had to find another job, let alone a B-class.
What I was most curious about was the following.
Attribute: [Setting intervention authority (EX)]
Strange from the name.
Besides, the grade EX means ‘exception’, and it is neither high nor low.
Jihoo’s gaze went down.
There, I saw the sub ability of the trait.
Unique Ability:
[View (Lv. 01)]
[Set Intervention (Lv. 01)]
“… … .”
I don’t know if I look
If anything, it’s about emotions. Or, I thought it would be good if it was related to production and reinforcement. But it didn’t look like that.
In this case, I have no choice but to try it.
Jihoo opened a status window, and the cursor flickered on the hologram as if to show that it could be modified.
From nob le mt l. co m
Move the cursor as you notice.
“Can’t you?”
[Magic 15]
Erase 1 and insert 2.
[mana 25]
– A total of 950 SP is required.
– Could not save.
“Is it possible?”
amazing.
What if you do this?
[Power 16]
Raise 1, not 10.
– A total of 50 SP is required.
– Do you want to save these settings?
“No, cancel.”
You just need to know that it will happen.
All I have now is 100SP, but I can’t use it for magic.
[Delicious Spicy Meat Rice Bowl (Lv. 01)]
– It’s a 20-year-old famous pork rice bowl. It is recommended as a snack with soju rather than beer.
“… … what.”
Well, it’s more soju than beer.
Almost all settings, such as general objects and food, could be viewed. However, as long as there is a level of ability, there must be something that is not good.
‘Can this be?’
[Rare] grade weapon. A small dagger with a dark red blade. It was a sword that had sharpened the fangs of a vampire decades ago.
I got it from Miyeon’s aunt the other day.
It’s something that was taken out of a loan.
– The [Read (Lv. 01)] level is insufficient!
‘I can’t… … .’
something is missing
I think it will, but I feel like it won’t.
This object is an artifact that has already been appraised. Since it is something that needs [recovery], I bought it to make a profit from [recovery] as well as practice.
‘I heard that the level of the original ability rises quickly to the level of the original ability.’
Jihoo put a large spoonful of beef bowl on rice and took a sip of beer before taking a stand.
Emotions started.
On the assumption that there is no existing appraisal, it is appraised from the beginning. Still, knowing the approximate information, the appraisal process was over quickly.
– [Rare] grade weapon appraisal completed!
– The mastery of [Read (Lv. 01)] greatly increases.
– With the success of [Appraisal], a sub-action of [View], you can view the artifact.
“Oh, too!”
That emotion is a sub-action of viewing. And it was all important information that the reading proficiency rose ‘significantly’ due to emotions.
Jihoo tried to read the dagger.
『Old Bleeding Fang [Rare – Blood/Darkness] (Lv. 03)』
Description: A dagger that was refined decades ago by sharpening the fangs of a vampire. It is said that an artifact containing magic becomes stronger the longer it is aged, but the dagger does not have the quality to become an artifact and becomes worn out.
* [Lesser Target Bleeding]
* [lowest cut amplification]
– Bleeding Accumulation: 0%
* Activates [Minimum Vampirism] when 100% bleeding is accumulated
It is more detailed, accurate and clearer than written appraisals.
‘This way, the probability of appraisal failure will be greatly reduced.’
What if the reading level goes up?
This may be a greater ability than you think.
Next is [Setup Intervention].
[Set Intervention (Lv. 01)]
This is also level 1.
How does this apply?
Your status window seems to be right there.
[Delicious Spicy Meat Rice Bowl (Lv. 01)]
– It’s a 20-year-old famous pork rice bowl. It is recommended as a snack with soju rather than beer.
“… … Let’s raise the level.”
– A total of 20 SP is consumed.
– Do you want to save your settings?
‘It works.’
If so, how about something like this?
Jihoo added this phrase at the very bottom.
* If you eat this meat bowl, your magic power increases by 1.
– A total of 1,200 SP is consumed.
– Do you want to save your settings?
“What is this?”
I was perplexed, but I soon found out the reason. It was because of the ambiguity of the sentence.
‘No matter how much magic I have, if I can raise my magic points by 1 point, that would be a scam.’
He corrected the wording.
* If you eat this meat bowl, your magic power increases by 1. (However, it applies when the mana value is 50 or less)
– A total of 310 SP is consumed.
– Do you want to save your settings?
also much less.
But it was strange. If, under any circumstance, 1 mana goes up unconditionally, even 1,200 points is an absurdly small amount.
then,
* If you eat this pork rice bowl, your magic power will ‘certainly’ increase.
– A total of 3,200 SP is consumed.
– Do you want to save your settings?
“Um, too.”
It seems that the ambiguity of the sentence does not mean that it rises in all situations. If you look at the fact that it is this much with one word ‘must’ attached.
ping-
From nob le mt l. co m
My head was spinning.
I didn’t pay attention to this because it didn’t consume mana, but it seems to consume mental power. I heard that the characteristic that does not normally consume mana is mental power, so it was expected.
‘It’s not clearly stated what it consumes.’
I don’t know.
That’s it for today.
* * *
Jihoo opened at 6:00 in the morning as usual. The cool air pierced the tip of my nose, and the tower towering over the open plain was a superb view at any time.
“Today is also a refreshing morning.”
After clearing my throat by talking to myself, I opened all the doors and windows of the store to ventilate. I hung up [OPEN] and made a cup of strong coffee.
“Hmm-”
I feel good, so I hum.
happy.
4 years ago, why did I leave this place? Such a comfortable and affectionate street. Uncle, uncle, and aunt since I was a kid, and the adults I’ve been following around are still the same.
“Jihoo! Can you give me one emotion?”
“Good morning, mister.”
Shim Ji-yeol, the owner of the blacksmith across the street. Seeing that he ran to the general store as soon as it opened, it seemed like an urgent matter.
“Oh yeah. sorry. I’m in a bit of a hurry. hahahaha.”
“What came in?”
“Last night! You can even feel the pulsation of magical power in the form that seems to have something at a glance.”
Uncle Shim Ji-yeol.
He has thick limbs and a red-hot face like a blacksmith, but he has a weaker heart than I thought.
Since it also operates a steel weapon store that focuses on swords, it also purchases these unidentified artifacts.
“Please, I’ll do it right away.”
“Aren’t you pushed?”
“I’m free today.”
From nob le mt l. co m
Mr. Jiyeol smiled awkwardly and held out the item. It was a thick and heavy bracelet, but it looked like a very old item.
As he said, the mana pulsing inside was unusual. Even if it wasn’t possible, it seemed like it would be level 3 in the [Rare] rank.
“Certainly not serious.”
“thanks. Jihoo, there is no appraiser like you. The feeling is coming! Calling for 100 million, if I can’t get this rare grade, I won’t be able to eat for a few days!”
“Ugh, if the lady finds out, it’ll be a big deal.”
“So, please take care of me.”
It won’t change if the appraiser is good at it.
But that’s what the human mind is like.
“Sure, don’t worry.”
Jihoo started to have feelings.
Appraisal becomes more difficult as the item level and grade increase. But Jihoo now had confidence.
‘It is possible to view even if only approximate information is appraised.’
