〈 New Garden (2) 〉
“Six million...”
I slowly stroked my chin and my eyes lit up.
It was a very satisfying result.
This was enough for me to proceed with the choice I had previously postponed due to unavoidable circumstances.
『Dimensional Barrier Relief (6000000)』
That was an option that reduced the gap between each dimension and eased the restrictions on awakened people.
Previously, when I was a little lacking in karma, I gave in to the irresistible temptation of ‘random draw’ and had no choice but to wait for the next time...
‘The point just happens to be just right.’
At this point, wouldn’t it be okay to consider it inevitable?
Now there was no need to hesitate any longer since there was nothing in particular.
‘Anyway, it looks like more time is needed to further strengthen unique skills. Other than that, I don’t need anything else right away...’
I exhaled lightly, and, overcome by a strange impulse that I had felt before, I immediately chose the second task, ‘Relaxing Dimensional Barriers’.
Immediately after that, the 6 million points that had enriched my heart just by looking at them evaporated in an instant.
“Hmm.”
Soon, I could instinctively feel that something surrounding my body had changed.
A strange sensation, as if something I had not noticed before was writhing and reacting.
However, just like the first purchase, that feeling did not last long and disappeared in an instant.
‘...is this the end?’
It was the same this time too.
I knew something had changed, but I had no idea how much it had changed.
It was like that the first time, so I fully expected it to be like this this time, but when it actually happened, I couldn’t help but feel a strange feeling.
‘Oh, by the way, this is a customer who paid a whopping 6 million at once.’
There was a small complaint, but there was nothing I could do about it, so what could I do?
I have no choice but to put up with the regret and move on.
‘Still... it seems clear that the existing functions have been further strengthened.’
Woo Woong –
I looked at the platinum light on my hand and nodded small.
Even though the same power was used, the output increased noticeably compared to before.
This is only a small portion of the energy released, but as the scale of power increases, the feeling will also increase.
‘Well, maybe this can help solve the problem about the dragon child.’
The 『Dimensional Barrier Relief』 that he identified was an ability no different from a kind of hacking tool or Easter egg.
Granting the power to bypass some of the laws that are common to all awakened people.
The fact that it was in the Karma store, which was part of the system in the first place, was a nonsense option.
‘Well, I guess it was hidden so that no one could get it.’
The condition for obtaining the special “Karma Store Ver.2 Update” was that the number of “unused Karma” exceeded 10 million.
If collecting that many points is not an ordinary thing, how many people in the world would just hoard them without even using them even if they had that ability?
Even the pure price of the option reached 5 million 6 million...
‘It’s definitely not a way that anyone can get it. ... Well, anyway, isn’t there any point in thinking about that now?’
What mattered was how it would help in the future.
It seemed that the problem could not be easily solved with only the abilities allowed in the Kang Hwan world.
As I was checking the changes here and there, I quickly closed my eyes and clenched my hands tightly.
“...They are a living sacrifice that was determined before birth...”
When I thought about them, I felt sick to my stomach again.
I sighed harshly, feeling irritated for some reason and not knowing the cause.
‘I guess I can’t do it because my stomach hurts. Now Kang Hwan-gye is my new garden. But you can’t just ignore something like that.’
I promised myself again with him.
The Dragon God’s arrangements are none of my business, so I will overthrow them all at will.
In fact, if I were serious about it, it was quite possible.
In terms of divine power, Saint Heinrich stands at the pinnacle of unholy mysteries, including black magic, and the dragon Horus was born with the blessings of the entire world.
In addition, the high elf Harris, who was nothing short of an agent of Mother Nature, the new-blooded vampire Heinz II, and Harley, who now possessed the kindness of monsters, were all prominent heroes within the same country.
But there’s no way he, who encompasses such talented people, would just sit back and give up!
‘Now that things have come to this, I need to focus more on Kang Hwan-gye. Coincidentally, this time, the Demon Cult was swallowed up, creating a similar structure to that of Outerica. At this point, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have Kang Hwan-gye conduct the rehearsal for the home theater first.’
At the same time, I had to check the second change to 『Dimensional Barrier Relief』.
As a whopping 6 million points were included, it will not simply end with the previous effect becoming stronger.
Wouldn’t it be better to first clearly understand what I have?
But now.
That ‘impossible’ thing was actually happening.
‘If this is applied to the finished product as well...’
Howard never stopped moving even though he was covered in sweat as if he were covered in water due to the extremely high heat.
revolution.
The desire of a dwarf who faced the moment before the birth of something that would twist the world’s common sense forced his body to move.
Cough! Chiiik—
forging quenching polishing.
All processes flowed smoothly.
And finally.
“her... “Uh-huh!”
Howard, whose arm muscles were bulging due to his “super strength,” lifted a large sword that was much larger than his torso with both hands.
An incredibly large, thick, and heavy double-edged greatsword.
The weapon created to kill dragons in the classic cartoon he watched as a child was recreated at his fingertips.
Embracing a mystery that cannot exist in this Outerica.
“I never thought something like this would be possible.”
He stared at the great sword blankly for a while.
Of course, this miracle was not possible through 『Dimensional Barrier Relief』 alone.
That the person who forged the material was an awakened person who was one step away from providence, that the awakened person had the ability to intervene in the properties of the product, called a “technological revolution,” and that he was at a level where he could fuse materials from two completely different worlds into one. It was a harmony created by a complex combination of things.
‘...a magic tool that transcends the limits of dimension.’
Howard looked at his masterpiece with narrowed eyes, lost in thought.
This weapon could not only be used on Outerica.
Even if I take it to Kang Hwan-gye right now, it will perform just as well as it did here.
While embracing the mystery of another world that does not exist in that world.
That moment.
Roaring—
The fiercely burning flames of the furnace shook violently once.
Immediately after, a strand of fire came out.
It wrapped around him a few times and then dispersed into the air and disappeared.
《The entity grows by meeting the conditions. The skills 「Metallurgy」 and 「Precision Crafts」 combine to evolve into the special skill 「Golden Hand」.》
“...Blessing of the furnace.”
It was the third blessing Howard received.
As expected, the God of Fire and Metal must have been quite surprised by this result.
Howard was filled with extraordinary emotions while holding the great sword.
If the first blessing was the minimum requirement to be called a ‘craftsman’ in dwarven society, the third blessing he received this time was proof of his qualifications to be a so-called ‘master craftsman’.
His teacher, Jaonic, was also a craftsman with the title of master, so Howard, who had only been into production for a few years, had already reached a similar level to his teacher.
‘Of course, the actual skills themselves are still quite different.’
Looking at his current growth rate, it won’t be long before he has the skills of a true master.
Howard calmed his excitement by taking a deep breath and carefully put down the greatsword in his hand.
Meanwhile, his eyes turned to other objects on display.
Until now, the works had been extremely satisfying...
“Tsk.”
Looking at it now, I didn’t like any of it at all.
His hand picked up one of the objects he had made before, a hammer with a short handle that contained the power of lightning.
It was a work that I really liked at the time it was made, but now it just looks like a superficial defective product.
“Let’s make it again.”
Howard muttered quietly.
It wasn’t just the hammer that caught his eye.
All the items made as a hobby and...
His eyes turned to the metal suit hanging on the mannequin stand.
Not only the completed limb parts, but also the torso and head that remain unfinished.
‘If we add Hyeonmu’s armor and use Yeouiju as an energy source...’
The inspiration that had been blocked for so long began to burst out violently.
I definitely got the feeling.
The day when it will be completed is not far away.
As expected, the first harvest in Kang Hwan-gye was quite satisfactory.
