Chapter 1 Obtained the Cheat Rune

Chapter 1 Obtained the Cheat Rune

Hi everyone! I’m excited to announce that I’ve started translating this novel, and I’m using ChatGPT MTL which I’m editing to provide the best possible experience for you.

If you notice any error, drop a feedback, or you just want to say hi, drop a comment. I’m aiming to release new chapters regularly. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy!



I was transmigrated into a novel I enjoyed reading.

It’s a cliched setup, like bone broth.

Unfortunately, it was the reality that hit me.

“Well, you’ve written everything else well.”

“...?”

“Just write down the rune information you possess in this last box.”

“What?”

“The rune. You have to write down the rune you possess to enter the Academy.”

A female employee looked down at me arrogantly.

This was the first scene I encountered when I transmigrated.

At first, I thought I was being kidnapped or having a dream. Without notice, I gained consciousness in this random place. But being kidnapped seemed too ordinary for me. I slapped myself hard enough to hurt but everything remained the same, this wasn’t a dream either.

Only then did the words of the people around me and the female employee reach me.

Rune.

And the Academy.

They were words that appeared in the novel I often read.

So, in a world with runes and the Academy, I suddenly found myself in an unrelated situation, right?

Reflectively, I nodded my head.

This is a common situation, and my future actions were already determined.

‘Yes!’

And so, I did what everyone does, ‘Status Window!’.

Wow...

I’ve only seen this in novels.

But now I can see it directly like a hologram.

I could completely feel it.

The novel I frequently read in my original world.

That... I was transmigrated into <Next Rune Holder>.

Personally, it was a novel I was very satisfied with, and I had no complaints about the plot I don’t understand why this happened when I didn’t even write a 5,700-character complaint.

But luckily, I can quickly adapt.

It has already happened.

Getting angry or frustrated wouldn’t change anything.

In situations like this, they don’t send you back to reality, do they?

Besides, my ‘willpower’ was at a considerably high level. A level higher than an average person’s. It helped me stay calm even in unexpected situations.

‘Next Rune Holder....’

<Next Rune Holder> is a typical leveling-up story.

Set in a modern fantasy background, based on a game system.

But unlike other game systems,

The unique information called ‘rune’ determines most of the status window.

Stats possessed skills and even ultimate skills.

It controls all the values displayed in the holder information.

That’s what a rune is.

‘It’s all good until there....’

Everything’s fine.

<Next Rune Holder> is a novel that I enjoyed.

It’s a relief that the sudden transmigration was into this novel.

But the name of the person I possess is Do Jae-hyun.

A character I’ve never seen in <Next Rune Holder>.

Yes.

Just like most transmigration novels. I, too, now possess an extra that no one notices.

Damn it...

“Excuse me, please write down the Rune information quickly. Don’t you see someone waiting behind?”

“Ah, sorry. I’m still a bit drowsy. I’ll write it down quickly.”

“Ugh...I’m so busy”

Give me a break...

I just transmigrated, and I’m still not in my right mind.

I quickly opened the <Rune Information>.

All the information in the holder information can be examined in detail.

For example,

<Rune Information>

◎Name: Dagger

◎Grade: Normal

◎Level: 1

◎Engraved Area: Back of the left hand

[You have obtained a new rune.]

[Acquires 1 strength with the rune’s inclination.]

“Done!”

The [Sword] rune was engraved on my body.

This time, the condition was repeating the cutting stance 2,001 times.

It was the result of my labored breath and blisters.

For basic normal runes like [Sword], [Bow], and [Spear], such conditions determined by hidden pieces can be satisfied to artificially acquire runes.

Considering that runes are assets to holders, knowing these methods of acquiring runes alone was a significant advantage.

A month ago.

I had an average status window but now, a completely different status window from when I was ignored by the employees has been achieved.

I have obtained seven additional runes, and as a result, various stats had evenly increased.

There were various hidden pieces to artificially acquire runes.

Like just now, repeating the cutting stance 2,001 times.

Or shooting 1,880 arrows into the air.

Or consistently running a certain distance at a certain speed for a month.

“...This is insane.”

Methods that normal people could never imagine.

But as a passionate reader of the novel, I remembered them.

Thanks to that, I was able to acquire all the basic runes in about a month.

“I already have eight runes.”

Honestly, I don’t know if this will help with my growth.

Naturally, the rune I was chosen for was [Dagger], which ultimately means I have a talent for assassination or throwing.

But I couldn’t ignore the stats obtained from the runes.

A ‘strength’ of 4 from [Blunt Weapon], [Axe], [Spear], and [Sword].

‘Agility’ of 2 from [Bow] and [Sprint].

And a ‘willpower’ of 1 from [Cooking].

With just these, my efforts of a month had already paid off.

And as I initially thought, it wouldn’t hurt to have many runes in my possession.

There are no specific limitations on acquiring runes as a holder.

“...Huh?”

But at that moment.

My new runes registered in <Holder Information>.

From [Blunt Weapon] to [Sword], they began to sparkle.

A dazzling light that could fill the status window.

Soon, it turned golden.

New information windows appeared.

Completely different from the ordinary information windows of previous stats, they were unique special information windows.

Golden information windows.

[Amazing Achievement! You have obtained ‘Rune Hunter,’ which is the exclusive possession of the chosen ones through your strength. As someone who has obtained seven Runes by fulfilling challenging conditions, you can be called a Rune Hunter without any shortcomings.]

[You have obtained a new rune.]

<Rune Information>

◎Name: Rune Hunter

◎Rank: Epic

◎Level: Max

◎Engraved Location: Heart

◎Special Effect: After winning a duel, you can replicate one of the opponent’s runes. You can only replicate one rune from the same target, and the acquired rune is registered with decreased performance due to level reset.

◎Derived Skill: –

◎Details: A rune that can be obtained by individuals through their efforts in artificially acquiring seven runes. Once someone obtains it, it becomes a unique rune that cannot be obtained again.

“...What is this?”

I stared blankly at the information window.

My thoughts couldn’t keep up with the sudden phenomenon.

Something I had never seen before.

An abnormal epic rune called [Rune Hunter].

I got the scam rune too easily.
