At the same time as saying that the three of them had something to see each other, they parted.
I immediately went to the place where the hammer guild was located using the warp gate.
As soon as I came out of the warp gate, I was greeted by someone, none other than the man I had seen Esmeralda Lisnerger in custody before.
“I was waiting. Come with me.”
As soon as he saw me, he bowed his head politely and led me to the car he had parked.
He treated me with a very businesslike yet respectful attitude.
I just thought that either Lee Myung-jun or Horie Yuzuki had a breath in his attitude, which was clearly different from the previous one.
“Jihyuk-kun, welcome.”
When I arrived at the guild, Yuzuki Horie, who had come to the entrance and was waiting for me, reached out as if pleased to see me.
After the incident at Aegis, she and I became quite close.
“The boss has already been entrusted with full power, so there won’t be any problems. Of course, Jihyuk-kun will have to accompany me as long as he is an outsider, but he will need someone to explain, right?”
“sure.”
Saying so, she said to the man with me, ‘Good job, Alexander.’
Seeing that, Horie smiled slightly and said.
“I was promoted. Now, in the guild, the only person higher than me is the boss.”
“Congratulations, Horie-san.”
“Actually, I’m not in a position to go up… … They recommended me because other people liked them.”
In another future, does she know that she will become the guild master of the Hammer of the Thunder?
With that thought, I quietly followed her.
As she guided me, she told me several stories so as not to be awkward.
“Yes, here.”
Not long after, we arrived in front of a crude iron gate.
She asked to turn her head for a moment, and then there was the sound of a button being pressed, which could have been well over twenty.
And she reached out to me after completing all of the biometrics you’d see in movies, starting with pupil verification, fingerprint recognition, and voice recognition.
“Congratulations, Jihyuk-kun. As an outsider, Jihyuk is the first person to enter our guild’s warehouse.”
With those words, the door opened gently without a sound, and the inside was revealed.
Inside, rather than flashy, various weapons and objects were displayed very practically and efficiently.
Each of those things would be ridiculously worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
“You are free to choose. Of course, you can’t choose everything or anything like that.”
She added playfully, nodding her head.
“After that, I got a call from Miss Yesul. I heard that Ji-hyeok decided to bring Ye-seul’s share as well, is that correct?”
“… Yes. you’re right.”
She nodded her head once more as if she understood.
“Well, I’ve been holding on to it for too long.”
She still smiled and looked at me with a favorable gaze.
“Ji-hyeok did a job that deserves such treatment. Thanks to that, the position of the boss has grown tremendously. So please, don’t be afraid to choose. It will be a brief explanation, but if you need a detailed explanation, feel free to call me anytime.”
With those words, I immediately walked inside.
There was no hesitation because he had already decided what to choose.
With the emotion spear raised, first of all, he headed towards the side with the armor, and also towards the place where the gauntlet-type items were located.
After a while, I was able to find what I was looking for.
Mirage’s Gloves (Unique)
― It is a protective gear that does not feel foreign or resistance at all when worn.
Its sturdiness makes it a great weapon on its own.
Traces of someone using it for many years remain.
― If you engage in melee combat while wearing this equipment, you may inflict additional shock on your opponent.
― You can exercise physical force on intangible bodies, spirits, and spirits.
— ???
It was none other than the Gauntlets, one of Shadow Walker’s legacy.
The only way she could get her inheritance in the original work was to steal or extort, but in fact, in the original version, it was a tricky item that could only be obtained by infiltrating and stealing from the Hammer of the Brain Guild.
The reason for taking this first was a reward for Jin Ye-seul, but it could be said that the skill gained by using it was the bigger reason.
If you acquire that skill, befitting the name of the Mirage Glove, if you touch something while wearing it, you can create a perfectly identical replica of it.
As no one could detect it and only the wearer of the glove could find out, its uses were limitless.
First of all, after taking it, I slowly started to look around armor and other weapons.
Now I don’t need any more weapons.
It was because there was a dagger that Jin Ye-seul gave as a gift, and by weaving a branch of a world tree to Nidhogg’s fangs, it was possible to create something like an arrow.
In the case of the bow, there was no need for anything else as long as there was a bow of the world tree.
So, I focused on the armor side, but unfortunately most of them were only things I didn’t need, such as heavy armor or a wizard’s robe.
I was able to find one that was okay, but it was called ‘Rampton’s Shirt’ and it was a plain T-shirt, but it was stronger than the mediocre armor, and it had the function of restoring it by injecting magical power.
Lampton’s shirt was tucked into a corner, perhaps of relatively low importance.
… Of course, this would have been something that could be easily received by a few hundred million if it was released on the market.
I looked around more, just in case, but couldn’t find anything I liked.
And I moved to a place where I had a collection of potions, consumable items, or other trifles.
“… There’s no way it won’t be.”
And when I found the potion of awakening there, I smiled a little.
I searched all over to see if there was anything that could increase the stats like the sap of the first substance, but unfortunately I couldn’t find any such items.
Still, I was curious to know where this was, so I picked it up.
Then I felt something twitch in my right arm.
When he turned his head to see something, a branch of the World Tree appeared and was asserting himself towards somewhere.
Looking over there, there was something like a green jewel.
Seed of Dryad (Ingredient / Rare)
―Also called Hamadriads, they spend their whole lives with trees, and it is said that when the tree dries up or falls down, they too will die. And, on rare occasions, the tree’s lifespan due to natural causes, and where the dryads of that tree died, legends say that their powers were refined and gems remain.
Perhaps the legend is not true.
“… … .”
To be honest, it was useless to me, but it was rare for a branch of the World Tree to express its will so violently in this way.
After thinking for a while, he picked it up and he trembled with joy.
In the end, the items I chose were Mirage’s Gloves, Lampton’s Shirt, Awakening Potion, and finally Dryad’s Seed.
What else should I bring?
I had no choice but to come to a place like this naturally, because I would never come back again for a while.
And it seems that Yuzuki Horie misunderstood my troubled appearance with a different meaning.
“… Can you do that? You can pick up a few more.”
“Oh, are you all right?”
She nodded as if to say something.
“sure. It is not only about choosing Ji-hyeok-kun’s share, but also choosing the share of Miss Ye-seul.”
When she said that Lee Myung-joon would be scolded if I just let it go like this, I went back again.
Having said that, I don’t really have anything else to bring.
It’s better to ask them to put it in cash instead of selling them back for money.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to choose something to hand over to Han Soo-young, Choi Hyun-woo, and Jin Ye-seul.
For Choi Hyeon-woo, he picked up a sword with excellent strength, for Han Soo-yeong an old-fashioned magic book, and for Jin Ye-seul, he picked up a necklace that could be turned into memorization.
When I left with the things I had chosen, Horie Yuzuki meticulously checked the items I had chosen, wrote something on the list, and nodded.
“Yes, you can take them all with you. If you want, can I safely send you to the academy?”
“Then please.”
“Okay, then go back and send me the coordinates. I’ll warp it right there and send it to you. Oh, if you have a meal… ?”
“I just ate here.”
“Um, why are you sending me away just for business like this?”
As Yuzuki Horie said that, he frowned and winked at me.
“Actually, this is a secret, but did you know that the boss covets Ji-hyuk so much? I’m still in my first year, so prior contact is prohibited, but since I’m still in my third year, I’m thinking it’s a must-do. So, if possible, we had to plant a good image in our guild.”
I just nodded at her words.
it’s two years
After that amount of time had passed, it was already time to return to the original world.

Or maybe you got a different result.
“… thank you Then I’ll just go.”
“Yes, then, please go back safely.”
I handed her the rest of the items I picked, except for the Awakening Potion, Dryad’s Seed, and Lampton’s Shirt.
“If you are going to wear it, will you guide me to the changing room?”
“No, I don’t have much time now, so I’ll stop. I don’t want to bother you anymore.”
After a modest refusal, she nodded as if understanding.
Refusing to drive me to the warp gate, I immediately got out and walked to a nearby park where there were few people.
As I entered the public restroom and put on Lampton’s shirt, a branch of the World Tree had come out.
It was wriggling violently, as if it were beating me.
“Come on, here it is. here.”
I handed over the seeds of the Dryad as if they were carrying them around, and they snatched them away as if they were waiting for them.
Then he wrapped it tightly around it and began to drag it into my body.
Surprisingly, the seeds of dryads the size of a fist disappeared as if they were being sucked in, but they did not feel any pain or foreign body.
[The branches of the World Tree begin to absorb large amounts of nutrients!]
[The energy of an old tree begins to surround the branches of the World Tree… … .]
[‘Elemental Protection E (Temporary)’ temporarily increases to ‘Elemental Protection D (Temporary)’!]
Looking at the notification windows that appeared sequentially, I opened the stopper to use the most awaited potion of awakening.
You can feel the taste and aroma that you have experienced once travel through your esophagus and into your body.
Soon after, I chose to awaken the shadow of Henir, who left only the last awakening.
Soon after, notification windows began to appear one after another, as if a loud noise could be heard.
[A bizarre and mysterious power dwells in your body and awakens your mind… … .]
[The hidden power opens his eyes in response to it!]
[Henir’s Shadow has succeeded in awakening all latent abilities!]
[Health, agility, and skill are permanently increased by one level!]
Having checked that far, I immediately checked the status and the shadow of Henir.

Henir’s Shadow (bind / parasitic / growth / legend)
[Effect][Active]
― You can cast Henir’s shadow at will. Henir’s shadow has recognized you as its true master and will always obey your orders.
― The shadow of Henir can be wrapped around a part of the body and used as armor.
― You can make things that touch the shadow temporarily sink into the shadow. The depth and time it sinks change depending on the owner’s ability and the conditions of the object it comes into contact with.
― You can move from shadow to shadow using Henir’s shadow as a medium. The greater the distance, the greater the amount of magic consumed. Only those who possess Henir’s Shadow can move through the shadows. The shadow must be large enough to move.
― By removing the shadow of Henir, you can create a shadow clone with the same stats as the owner. The spawned shadow clones act according to your will, and are capable of autonomous thinking. If you receive more than a certain amount of shock, the shadow clone will be canceled naturally and you will not be able to create a shadow clone for a certain period of time. You can share your senses with the shadow clone, and if a great shock is applied to the body, the impact can be sent to the shadow clone. You cannot use other abilities of Henir’s Shadow while creating and maintaining a shadow clone.
This is the reason why Jin Ye-seul was called the strongest in the original close-quarters fights.
It was the shadow of Henir, who would have been fully awakened after a year had passed.
Feeling an unfamiliar feeling of elevation, the shadow moved freely and looked at me.
Then, when I thought that my eyes met, the guy bowed his head politely and went back to normal.

OK, so now let’s go back.
Thinking like that, it was time to get out of the bathroom.
[The condition to be a singularity in the scenario has been met.]
[Parts of the main scenario are transformed.]
[The update of the status window starts! (Estimated time ― 4 days 13 hours)]
As if not to forget me, another notification window popped up.
[You have become a being that changes the flow of this world.]
