Chapter 56-2

[Humans believed they could obtain divine power from the 'Monument of New Moon' and started a war to seek it.]

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Do they fight all the time?

[The war was long. 10 years, 20 years, and finally 50 years. However, humans who emerged victorious from the war could not gain any power from the 'Monument of New Moon. It only brought disaster instead.]

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Humans are the problem again.

The history of war in this world was mostly caused by humans, initiated by humans, and humans were the problem. That was the only content.

Elves and spirits pursued peace, while dwarves were only interested in pounding the ground with their iron fists.

The various races like gnomes and kobolds formed their own tribes, enjoying a modest life of foraging and singing songs among themselves.

Only humans desired something, coveted and seized it to make it their own.

He really couldnt tell who the demons were.

[When it was confirmed that the 'Monument of New Moon was no longer benevolent towards humans, the dark mages' religion, the "Dark Magic Faction," began to actively operate.]

"Ugh...!"

After slurping up the last drop of jjamppong broth, he patted his stomach. The restaurant owner was staring at him as if he were a strange creature.

[The leader of the Dark Magic Faction said, "The power of the Monument of New Moon is no longer exclusive to you. We, too, can obtain power from the New Moon. The mages didn't believe it, but those words soon became a reality. Because...]

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Ow, my head.

Everything was fine, except that the mental strain from the Direct Neural Interface was causing a headache.

[Mental Stamina EXP +0.01%]

Still, it was good to engage in this consistent mental stamina training. Even simply using the Direct Neural Interface had slightly increased the ability stat of mental stamina.

[The dark mages summoned mysterious powers from another realm and used magic to create a Persona Gate by punching a hole in reality. And in this place, common sense doesn't apply at all]

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Wait.

[Yes, please speak.]

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Your voice sounds a bit monotonous. Can you read it with a little more tenderness?Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

Right now, it felt like a machine was reading it. Even though it was actually a machine.

[How exactly would you like me to read it?]

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Um... read it like a lover.

[Such a function does not exist.]

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Or like a girlfriend.

Of course, even if he chose to restore the downgraded items, it wouldnt mean he could restore all of their functions, so he still couldn't expect them to be on the level of ancient relics.

However, it was entirely possible to restore one of the key functions of the Sentient Spec.

[Partial functions of the item <Sentient Spec> have been activated.]

[Phenomenon Analysis]

[Telescope]

[Infrared Vision]

Whether it was because of sufficient narrative power or not, some of the functions that were lost had been restored as a bonus.

With this much, he wondered if receiving other items wouldn't result in a significant downgrade.

Anyway, now that he could enter the Persona Gate without getting lost, he felt relieved.

The next day.

"First-year students, please choose the Persona Gate you wish to train in."

When that message was broadcasted through the academy announcement, Baek Yu-Seol immediately headed to the classroom bulletin board.

The students were already buzzing with excitement.

[1st Year Class S, Rank 1141, Baek Yu-Seol]

[You have chosen the C-7 practice site.]

Baek Yu-Seol tapped on the holographic board and selected the gate where the incident was scheduled to occur.

Luckily, the capacity hadn't been exceeded yet.

The slight worry here was that the C-7 Persona Gate, where the incident would happen, had a maximum capacity of 16 people.

Since he took someone's spot, one person wouldnt be able to enter here.

What if key figures like Edna or Eisel couldnt enter?

[C-7 Team List]

[Edna, Jecky, Baek Yu-Seol, Ivan, Eisel, Karschel, Gellion....]

There were currently 7 spots filled. Most of the key figures had already applied.

Unfortunately, he wouldnt be able to participate in this practice with Mayuseong or Haewonryang, but since Eisel and Edna were here, they wouldnt fail in conquering the Persona Gate.

Anyway, he didnt plan to have much involvement in the strategy against the final boss.

The hidden reward, the "Enchanting Tree's Petal," was all he needed to obtain.
