"This ID has been reissued."
"……."
Prior to going to the Player Management Center, rainfall from the nearby district office to get an ID looked at the receptionist with a slightly blurred look.
'I can't believe you weren't reported missing.'
Rain, who had been thinking about how to explain the gap for five years, accepted the identity card of the receptionist as absurd.
Five years have passed since he disappeared from Earth, but surprisingly, he has not been dealt with.
'No one knew I was gone.'
Or maybe no one cared about him.
Rain looked down at the newly issued ID with a slightly bitter look.
It was a part of how lonely and lonely he had been in the past.
'It will be different from now on.'
After 10,000 years of struggle, I didn't intend to live the same way as I did in the past.
Rain came out with an ID card and moved to the place that Hansulah promised to meet.
"Oh, are you here, Mr. Rain?"
"Yes."
"Huhu. Let's get going."
Han Seola walked ahead. Such rain followed her.
* * *
[The following stations are Seoul Station and Seoul Station.]
"Here we are, Mr. Rain."
"……."
Rain was unwilling to answer her words.
"Ouch."
Elasticity flowed from the mouth of the rains.
He gazes at the tremendous crowd of people walking around the station in an inspiring glance.
This is the city! '
Unlike Hansula's house, which was not enough to call it a city, it was a bitter place that felt like a real city.
Following Hansulah's back, the rain came out of the station, and I was thrilled to see it outside again.
Booooooo!
Mequehan Smoke.
skyscrapers and hard asphalt roads.
People are beeping and moving around somewhere about what's so busy.
"I'm back."
Looking at the familiar landscape of this city, I realized that I had returned to Earth.
"That's the Seoul Player Center, Mr. Rain."
"Oh, yes."
The rain turned its head in the direction that Hansulah pointed. Rain when she saw the place she said it was a player management center, she laughed in vain with an absurd look.
Incheon Airport? '
The building she pointed to was huge enough to evoke Incheon Airport.
It was obvious that building a building that size in the middle of Seoul Station would have cost you an unimaginable amount of capital.
'That's how important players have become to society.'
Now that the players are like the lifeline of the planet, this situation has also become understandable.
"So I'm going to take a basic education course. I think I'm going to be late because I have a written training today."
"Yes, I'll see you at home later."
"Yes, Mr. Rain."
Hansula waved her hand to rainfall and left to take a basic education course.
Rain broke up with her and went to the place responsible for registering new players.
Reception didn't take long.
The receptionist, who looked at the rainy ID several times, said it was a mechanical attack.
"Then go to the test room."
"Yes, thank you."
Rain received a waiting list from the receptionist and turned around.
In front of the test room, several people sat with their faces open.
"Hello? Mom? Oh, I'm in front of the test room. Yeah, I'm gonna get my certification and get my education right away. Hhh, wait a bit. My son will succeed and get all the Bread Guild Offers."
"Excuse me, do you have any first-rate Awakening Attributes?"
"I'm Class D."
"Wow, you still have quite a characteristic. Aren't you at least in class B in the second grade?"
"Hah. But it's nothing compared to players like Baek Gang-hyun and the other players."
"Oh, they said they came out of class S at the first awakening. It doesn't compare to us."
"Leave it this time? Did you hear about him?"
"Did you get the Hanwool Guild Scout right out of the 5th Awakening?"
"Yes, I was jealous. Honestly, I don't even want to rise in the 1st and 2nd year, so if I wake up later..."
"Then it's real life blood."
Rain sat in the waiting room chair and listened to them.
'Apparently the Attribute Rating is important.'
Characteristics of flowering in 10 levels.
The rating of that characteristic was the rank itself for the players.
Among them, the grading of the properties obtained by Jerep was more important.
Players with low grade attributes were difficult to level up because they could not even see the attributes afterwards.
The more they awakened, the more likely they were to have a higher grade of character, but they didn't even get a chance to do so.
"Hmm....."
Rain opened its status window to determine its primary awakening properties.
'??? Grade attributes.'
The power of predation he had was marked as unknown by the grade itself.
'This is a power outside the specifications.'
It wasn't something I couldn't understand.
Characteristics of Class S. And higher, I didn't know how strong the characteristics of Class SS were, but I didn't dare to compare them to the power of predation.
'It's a deceptive power.'
The most powerful force of predation was infinite growth.
And the rains have already used the power of predation to climb to a land beyond which no demon can reach.
'Not now, though.'
I didn't have much to worry about.
It was said that the power of predation was sealed, but there was no means to cover Magi.
If Magi had increased, it would not have been possible to regain the old power.
'No, if you use the power of this player or something.'
I also thought it might go beyond the power of the past.
"Mr. Oh Gangwoo."
"Yes."
Rain enters the test room in a voice that calls itself.
The test room was equipped with a number of white crystal beads, and the players being tested were raising their hands with a nervous expression.
A woman with round glasses approaches the rain.
"Just raise your hand here. And if you exert your power, the color will change depending on the grade of the attribute."
"How does it change?"
"It's like a gate. The higher the rating, the more cloudy the color becomes."
At her words, the rain nodded lightly.
'How it appears.'
His characteristic was a grade outside the specifications. I could not anticipate what the reaction would be.
'Whatever comes out, it doesn't matter.'
He was reluctant to receive attention and did not hide his power.
Rather, it was a definite step forward style.
He raised his hand on the crystal bead without hesitation.
"That's a Class F attribute."
Mmm?
The woman, who confirmed that the color had hardly changed, wrote something on the paper in her hand and said in a heavy voice.
Rain curled his head to a different outcome than expected.
'Is it because the power of character is sealed?'
I didn't know.
There was a possibility that the measurements themselves could not be made with a gauge, perhaps because it was a force outside the specification.
'Well, I can't help it.'
I can't reverse the results already.
I thought it would be better to take a monster and ask him to fight. The rain filled my tongue lightly.
"Attributes below Grade D will initially receive an E Player Certificate. With an E level player license, you can enter and exit the same level of gates freely. Beyond that, you'll need to apply for guardianship to enter."
"How do I increase my Player Rank?"
"If you take a basic training course, go straight to class D. Otherwise, you can increase your Rank by submitting your Stone Transaction Volume."
"Got it."
"Then go to the counter and wait for me. We'll send you a certificate right away. Oh, you'll need to register at the counter to apply for a basic education course."
"It's okay."
I did not intend to take a basic education course.
A monster like Goblin could be wiped out with the same amount of dirt.
It's a waste of time. '
I heard it gives me the basic senses needed for combat, but it was meaningless.
He had ten thousand years of combat experience, so he didn't have to waste his time and money taking basic education courses.
Rain turned around and left the test room.
A woman in round glasses sighs at the rain as she leaves the test room.
'I guess you're not talented enough.'
Even though it is a primary awakening characteristic, few Class F characteristics have emerged.
When the average was high, it was common to come up to grade E and D.
'They don't even take basic education courses.'
It was hopeless to get an F grade, but the result was obvious if you didn't get a basic education course there.
'He's perfect to go in the gate and die.'
Players who have flowered with Class F attributes will not be accepted into any party.
If that happens, most players will die hunting the Solo Gate to speed up the 2nd and 3rd Awakenings.
"Ew."
She takes a short sigh.
'If you're going to get an F rating, you better not be a player.'
It was unfortunate to have to live as a salaried man in a world that might have been destroyed sometime, but at least he was better than an almost definitive F-grade character player.
"Huh...?"
At that time, the crystal ball that had just been tested by a man named Augang Woo came into her eyes.
"What is this?"
The crystal ball that he tested suddenly began to become cloudy.
White to pale grey, pale to dark grey.
And….
Dark black.
"Is it broken?"
I didn't touch my hand, but it was the first time I changed color like this.
She looked at the crystal ball with an incomprehensible look.
Kwajik!
A large gold was found on the surface of the crystal ball that was bitten with a dark black color.
Within days, the crystal ball that the rain touched was crushed by acid.
"Ugh... it's broken, too."
Looking down at the crystal ball that had been completely smashed, she made a face that otherwise would not.
'You don't have any black grade attributes.'
Baek Ganghyun, who had bloomed with grade S characteristics in the past primary awakening, was only slightly darker in gray.
But it's not gray, it's dark.
It never existed on record.
"Argh. Please wait for the next one!"
She lifts the broken crystal ball and shouts outside.
