Chapter 62: Aftermath (1)
Back when it was just a B-rank gate, escaping from the intermediate-level was considered the best option.
Needless to say, if it was an A-rank gate, there was no question about it.
Many people were waiting for news, but even if it was the Sword of Justice, she was expected to eventually die without being able to come out.
But that expectation was turned upside down.
First clear of an A-rank gate.
With just two members.
Korea was completely turned upside down.
[How on earth did they clear this???]
It’s the first clear, and it’s A+ difficulty, but the clear team consisted of one A-ranker and one E-ranker. Am I the only one who doesn’t get it?
―Right now, awakened users all over the world are clueless~
―All the canned S-rankers who said they were going to fail are sinking.
―They didn’t even do an interview with Sword of Justice and just rushed to the infirmary lol No one knows how they cleared it yet xD
[Korea’s Top Guild]
(Picture of Dorim Guild Master Lee Minjun bowing his head)
We will apologize for the sacrifices of these two people through our clear.
―Haha lol
―Dorim is indeed legendary lol
―’Korea’s Best Guild Master’ LMAO
―Just go to prison and apologize, it should do lol
[The Most Notable Martial Artist in History]
(Picture of Isabella with a sorrowful face)
Possibility of clear? None. We express our condolences in advance.
―Are you bringing baguettes again? lol
―Just kidding haha
―These days, do you pay attention to those kinds of trash? The world has gotten a lot better haha
[???: Did you have fun?]
(Picture of Kim Minwoo and Seo Yerim)
These were the awakened ones of Korea until now.
―’Hope of Korea’
―Surge in applications to join the Sword of Justice’s Guild.
―The Necro boom is coming.
―Wow; the lineup is crazy for real haha
―They almost cleared A+ rank haha
―For real haha They actually cleared it haha
[???: Kim Minwoo? 1 trillion won would suffice, right?]
(List of famous foreign guilds that called out 1 trillion won for scouting)
―Looking at this, it’s really a list of people with good eyes haha
―1 trillion won? Now even 100 trillion won won’t be enough to buy these kids haha
[Seeing what came out after clearing this time, I really feel like Kim Minwoo is amazing;] (Picture of Kim Minwoo appearing in the news for luxury before awakening)
He was just living life with a titanium spoon eating only allowance money, and now he’s enjoying his second golden age as an awakened one, so I think Kim Minwoo is amazing hahaha
―For real, haha Seeing that he ran straight to the Sword of Justice’s Guild, it’s clear that he’s got the guts. Do you think he would have gone to take care of her in such a hurry if he had just taken the bus? Haha
[TL/N: This is the literal translation of the line of which I can’t make the head and tail of, but I am pretty sure there’s some kind of korean idiom/slang hidden here but me not being a native korean makes it hard for me to know what exactly the author meant there]
―He has everything but he’s still fighting for his life ᄃᄃᄃ
―I just realized it today. Kim Minwoo is just really serious about raiding
―Uh-huh. Looking at it, he came out with his body completely shattered XD It can’t be done in a day or two
―Honestly, I was a bit shocked by the Sword of Justice’s reaction today. Even if you say she went in to save him because of the Sword Saint, she didn’t need to do that even after coming out.
―Did he save her life? Or is it unlikely that the Sword of Justice’s personality would allow her to do that?
―Even so, that seems a bit too much. No way LoL
―He’s about to have a brain aneurysm from all the praise. What, save the Sword of Justice’s life? Let’s just take it easy ????
―Anyway, it’s a fact that he performed well in A+ rank gate, right? What on earth is Kim Minwoo’s potential?
―If he really performed well, he’s not just a Necromancer rank 1 rookie, He’s just the world’s best King God Super Rookie ????????
―I’m a bit curious about his level. It seems like it’s been a few days? Let’s all guess.
―He must have been at least 70 before entering. If you consider that he killed a lot of monsters inside, he must have definitely passed 100?
―He became a D-rank in just two months after awakening? That’s fast;
―Uh-huh. It’s pretty fast considering it took the Baguette martial artist four fucking months. ????
―But how on earth did a level 100 guy perform well in an A-rank gate? Even the lowest-level monsters are probably well over level 200.
―That’s why he’s the world’s best King God Super Rookie Lmao
—I just awakened, but can I become a Necromancer?
—Uh... I was about to curse you, but now that I think about it I would rather not.
―Yeah. I won’t comment on that, It’s not my life anyways.
―But seriously, it might be worth trying if you have a lot of money? But if you’re just a moderately rich person then.......
* * *
Kim Minwoo, who had fainted, opened his eyes.
He was inside a hospital room with all kinds of high-end furniture.
It was a familiar place.
‘Ilsung Healing Center.’
Healing center.
It was a healing organization with a slightly different concept from a hospital.
Here, awakened people were in charge of the treatment.
He looked at his body.
‘I’ve recovered completely.’
Despite suffering a fatal injury that could have killed him instantly, he was completely recovered.
Indomitable Spirit.
If he hadn’t had this, he would have been beaten to death by the Heavenly Demon and died.
He really had the right title.
He looked at the titles he had earned this time.
[New Title List]
[1. First Steps]
[First to enter a new gate.]
[Effect: +5 Vitality]
[2. Single-minded Striker]
[Dealt massive damage by repeatedly attacking the same spot.]
[Effect: Gain additional damage when attacking the same spot multiple times.]
He can now use skills with his sword as well.
He had confirmed what Command Swordsmanship was while fighting Baek Hakseong.
It was a swordsmanship that unleashed dozens of gloomy sword energies.
Its performance was excellent both in AoE and single-target.
There would be many ways to utilize it.
He slipped the ring onto his finger.
[You are wearing the Ring of Ascension!]
[The qualification to challenge the ‘Ascension Ritual’ has been generated!]
[ The 1,321st ritual is already in progress.]
[You can apply when applications are open for the 1,322nd participation!]
‘Huh? 1,321st?’
Was it a structure that was conducted periodically?
It seemed like he couldn’t do it now.
‘Well, I wasn’t in the mood to go right away anyway.’
He had just cleared the gate.
No matter how much he was into the game, he was still human.
He needed rest and time to check and review what he had gained this time.
‘I should do some maintenance while I’m at it.’
His level was 151 now.
Even if he had already bought the potions in advance, there was a lot to do, starting with C-rank skill book 9th level enhancement, bone replacement, and new equipment setup.
‘After I finish all that maintenance....’
Kim Minwoo recalled the message he had seen inside the gate.
It said that the second call of the Death Lord had been activated.
This time, he wasn’t forcibly dragged away like the first time.
‘I need to answer the second call.’
The commander said there were four in total, right?
He would probably get another commander this time.
He was already looking forward to it, even though he was already very satisfied with Cedric.
‘I need to make a lot of money.’
Before entering, he bought potions and turned into a beggar.
Now, even with hundreds of billions of won, he couldn’t do anything.
It was a time when he needed a lot of money.
First, he would spin the production wheel a few times.
He would also get some more investment from the guild.
It seemed like he would have to work hard.
He remembered the last thing he saw before leaving the gate and licked his lips.
After defeating the Unorthodox Alliance Leader, he had dropped some items, including a sword.
He didn’t have time to gather them.
Even if he wanted to put them in his inventory, he had to hold them in his hand first.
It wasn’t like he could use psychokinesis to suck them up from a distance.
That’s why he couldn’t pick them up.
He didn’t feel much excitement even when he got items from the bosses of those gates, but the boss of an A+ rank gate was different.
‘The Unorthodox Alliance Leader should be considered a boss, right?’
He must have dropped some good swords.
If it was wearable, it would be great.
Even if it wasn’t, he might be able to sell it for tens of billions.
He felt a little thrill at the thought of missing it.
“Whitey-ah.”
―Coooo.
A voice was heard from inside the sickroom.
It seemed like she had followed him well.
Soon after.
Poodduk!
Whitey flew in.
But, she was holding something big in her mouth.
―Coo.
Whitey put it down on his hand.
“......?”
It was a sword.
The sword that the Unorthodox Alliance Leader had used.
[Command Sword]
[Rank: Legendary]
[A sword passed down through the generations of the Unorthodox Alliance Leader. It is said to become stronger the more blood it absorbs. Only those who are qualified can wield it if they are not a Union Leader.]
[Restriction: Unorthodox Alliance Leader, or one who killed a Union Leader.]
[Effect 1: The user absorbs blood when they defeat an enemy of equal or higher level. The sword grows stronger the more blood it absorbs. (0/10,000)]
[Effect 2: ???]
[Effect 3: ???]
‘She brought me a sword...?’
He hugged Whitey tightly in his arms.
“Oh my baby! Who are you taking after to do such cute things!”
As he stroked her head gently, Whitey cooed and cried happily.
‘This is crazy.’
A unique-rank ghost sword?
Its only good effect was +40 mana.
Showing hallucinations, making apparitions appear, etc.
Those options were useless for high-level monsters anyway.
In comparison, the Command Sword...
‘It’s legendary.’
It’s also a growth-type item with no level restriction.
It’s a masterpiece that’s too good to compare to a ghost sword.
‘I finally have a decent sword to use.’
[TL/N: Bro called a legendary rank item decent ????]
It’s a masterpiece that he’ll be able to use for a long time.
[TL/N: I will be addressing Whitey as ‘she’ from now on until the author confirms otherwise]
