Return To Level Up

Chapter 4

“Whoa.”

Hajin Kang sat down on the floor and picked her breath.

It was not easy to fight a werewolf with her magical powers being used quite excessively.

There were scratches on her toenails all over her body. Still, she was not fatally wounded. And even if she takes fatal wounds, they will all be restored when the dungeon disappears.

It was before her return.

“Ok.”

Hajin Kang forced himself to stand up. And he went out of the stone chamber through the exit.

“Now, give me the last skill. Go home and get some rest.”

Now when you receive the buff skill and the dungeon disappears, it’s over. She came back and she will be returned to her place.

She felt something creeping into her body.

“It’s still not magical.”

Some power other than magic entered my body. She was able to notice because she was so sensitive to her magic. Also, because it was a huge force, it was possible to sense even a little.

It wasn’t magic, but it wasn’t magic at all. It was something far higher than magic.

Perhaps that is the power that underlies the system.

[Dragon’s Blessing (A)][Increases all stats by at least 5% and up to 50%. The ascent rate and duration depend on the skill level. Some abilities are sealed.][Sealed][Sealed]

It was the same skill I had at that time.

That seal is no big deal. It unlocks automatically when you level up.

The first sealing skill was a skill that increased attack power and defense. And the second sealing skill was a skill that increased various things that could not be confirmed by stat information, such as critical strike probability and critical attack power.

If all the seals were released, it would mean that all of those things were caught in one blessing.

It was a really great skill. Without this skill, let alone the last dungeon where Marbas was, he would not have been able to enter the ten sub-dungeons he had smashed to open the dungeon.

They always fought in a strong state with blessings, and conquered the dungeon using the healing bomb that explodes whenever there is danger and the power of the recovery skill that heals abnormalities.

Hajin Kang’s status was, of course, the best. Ha-jin Kang took on the role of the leader who actually leads the team.

It was a natural flow. At that time he believed so.

“Well, what are you thinking about? We won’t be together this time.”

Not to the extent of not doing it together, but it will completely destroy it. Of course, it is difficult right now. Because their power was not normal.

But in the end, Ha-jin Kang wants it to happen. I’ll make it happen no matter what I do.

As I was waiting for the dungeon to disappear with those thoughts in mind, information I had never thought of suddenly popped up in front of my eyes.

[Acquired the title ‘The first to completely conquer the awakening dungeon’.]

“Huh?”

The first person to completely conquer the awakening dungeon. I didn’t know there was such a title.

“Then… does that mean that there is another awakening dungeon?”

Maybe it is. No, it will. So, isn’t that why it’s called the first?

[The first to completely conquer the awakening dungeon][A title given to those who have completely conquered the awakening dungeon for the first time since it came into existence. You can ignore the limit level up to the 3rd order.]

“A limit level? Was there a limit to the level?”

A fact I didn’t know at all. In fact, we don’t even know what the limit level is. Because no one has reached there yet.

Before the return, Hajin Kang’s level was 479, and Jason, who was the best in the world at the time, was at 786.

Hajin Kang smiled and passed it on. What’s the use of giving meaning to something that’s never going to happen anyway?

After he finished revenge and got rid of all the dungeons in this world, he intended to enjoy the rest of his life in a quiet place.

Even after receiving the title, the dungeon did not disappear. Instead, a statue of an angel slowly rose from the floor.

“What do you mean, treat it with that and leave? Wasn’t it originally supposed to heal automatically?”

Hajin Kang grumbled like that and approached the stone. No, he tried to approach him.

At that moment, if the stone statue hadn’t started to collapse.

Awesome!

The stone was crushed. No, it was compressed. It was as if there was a black hole in the center and only the stone statues were sucked into it.

Hajin Kang opened his eyes and watched the scene. No, I checked with all my senses what the hell was going on there.

The magic barely moved. However, it was not that there was no flow of magic at all.

There was some power from a higher dimension that Hajin Kang did not know yet. Of course, I don’t know what it is or how it works.

‘Will I know if I break the limit level?’

I suddenly had a thought. But then she shook her head and focused on the scene in front of her.

It was a small ring that was made by compressing the statue of an angel.

The ring was floating in the air.

Hajin Kang came closer and grabbed the ring. It seemed to be a reward for complete conquest.

He remembered the first time he checked the information on the statue. Except for the fact that it was impossible to move, the morale was so great that there was no such morale.

Now that it has become a ring and can be moved, I wondered what grade it would be.

The shape itself was an ordinary gold ring. However, the shape of an angel was exquisitely engraved on the surface.

[Angel’s Ring][Rank – Legendary][User Kang Ha-jin’s body and magical power are made to the best state. It recovers all abnormalities in the body and completely heals any wounds or diseases. Can be used once in 7 days.][Sealed]

Hajin Kang’s eyes deepened when he checked the item information.

Once there is a cooldown period. That’s 7 days. Although the ability is great, if it can be used once every 7 days, the legend rating is too wasteful.

‘That means that there is some great power in that seal…….’

I decided to gradually figure out how to unlock the seal.

The dungeon disappeared while looking at the ring in full swing. The small wounds on his body were completely gone, and all his magic was restored.

My body was overflowing with energy.

Hajin Kang looked around. There was a cliff in front. It was exactly the place where I had entered the awakening dungeon before.

The sun was just rising. Of course, the sun could not be seen because of the cliffs and forests, but the light scattered in all directions was shining brightly on the forest.

He recalled that he had seen this sight before. Even before the return, when he came out of the awakening dungeon, she was just like this. His heart raced at the two facts that he came out just as the sun had risen and that he had survived and that he had awakened.

But today, his heart raced for another reason.

“These bastards I will never let go.”

Hajin Kang glanced around. I saw a smartphone in the distance. He also saw belongings such as wallets and keys lying a little further away.

Before returning, I had quite a hard time climbing up the cliff before finding it.

It won’t happen this time.

After collecting all of her belongings, Ha-jin Kang jumped over the cliff.

With her tiptoe, she climbed up the cliff by tapping the protruding part of the cliff.

It was a skill that could not even be imagined without the ability to control the magic that had reached the stage.

* * *

The first thing Kang Ha-jin did after coming down from the mountain was to go to the Awakening Management Office, report the fact of awakening, and register the awakened person.

He didn’t even stop by the house, he came straight here.

All Awakeneds were required to report to the Awakened Management Office.

It is easier to obtain the qualifications to enter the dungeon by registering as an Awakened.

Even ordinary people could enter the dungeon as much as they wanted. However, the problem was that it was difficult for ordinary people to withstand the environment of the dungeon.

In any case, it was possible for ordinary people to obtain qualifications to enter the dungeon. However, the procedure was difficult and complicated. It takes a lot of money too.

It has been almost 5 years since the dungeon appeared and the Awakened began to appear.

In the beginning, there were countless trials and errors, but now it has settled down to some extent and is stable.

Government agencies have emerged around the world to manage the Awakened, and there are also people who use the Awakened to make money.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The research on the dungeon became extensive and deep, and the output began to come out earlier than expected.

And now the dungeons and the awakening have taken root in the depths of the world.

Research on how to awaken and how to artificially create an awakened person is being actively researched, but even a vague hint has not been found.

It is necessary but not mass-produced, so how important is the Awakened?

The probability of ordinary people awakening was very low, but because of the large population, the number of awakened people was not less than expected.

In Korea alone, it is said that the number of Awakened people exceeds 10,000.

Not all of those 10,000 people were making a ton of money, but once they became Awakened, they could say that their future was guaranteed.

Everyone looked at Ha-jin Kang, who came out of the test, just like that.

Although the results have not come out yet, the fact that the test was taken was proof of awakening.

“It takes some time to analyze the results. It usually takes about 30 minutes, but in some cases it may take more than an hour. Then you’re having a cup of coffee in the break room over there.”

The management office staff politely said to Kang Ha-jin. The staff directly guided Ha-jin Kang to the break room. She even made coffee and prepared light refreshments.

“If you have any questions, ask. To the best of my knowledge, I will answer you sincerely. I probably know more than most Awoken. I have been working with the management office since it was first formed.”

Ha-jin Kang knew why he was so kind and what his intentions were.

There will probably be some guilds or connections with large corporations. While giving information about the Awakened, the task is to create a sympathy for the Awakened.

This employee was not the one who dealt with Kang Ha-jin before returning. At that time, he rested at home for two days to recover his weary spirit.

At the time, the guide was a very pretty female employee, but this time it was a neat-looking male employee.

“The coffee is delicious.”

“Only the awakened can truly taste the coffee. Normal people can’t taste the taste no matter how much they drink. When I drink this, I don’t feel much difference from fresh water.”

“How amazing.”

Of course, Hajin Kang knew. This coffee had magical powers. A kind of magic that stimulates the taste buds. The aroused can experience a much more complex and nuanced taste because of the stimulus.

Hajin Kang savored coffee for a while. Awakening coffee comes later, with a much better taste and aroma than this. Even then, it will be possible to deliver its taste and aroma to the general public.

‘I will come out in about five more years.’

It was a time when the dangers of the dungeon were not revealed at all. Two more years later, disaster strikes.

After that, the war with the dungeon begins in earnest.

Ha-jin Kang calmly savored the coffee, and he thought over and over what he should do until then.

The management office staff didn’t show any expression on the outside, but seeing such a strong Ha-jin, he was restless on the inside.
