Reversing Life With Legendary Skills! - Chapter 10
The Taewang Guild Headquarters.
This was the second time Kang Jin-woo had been there.
During his first visit, he came through the front door.
Hundreds of reporters surrounded it.
It was pure chaos.
Fortunately, it was different today.
They passed through an underground parking lot where only insiders could enter.
“I think it would’ve been more convenient for me if I used this passage the last time.”
The woman with a sensual body sitting next to him said with a smile.
Her name is Han Yu-ra.
It was Park Tae-sung’s first secretary, the one who accompanied them when they came to Jin-woo’s house.
“I agree.”
He nodded and then got out of the car.
Jin-woo took the elevator to the seventh floor.
When the doors opened, the desk was the first thing visible.
“Oh, if it isn’t, Yu-ra”
An impressive woman in suspenders greeted the two, leaning against the desk.
“Long time no see, Miss Seo.”
“Yes,~ I often come to play. By the way, is that person beside you, Kang Jin-woo?”
“Yes, it’s him.”
“Wow! Nice to meet you! I’m Seo Ha-young, manager of item storage.”
Said Seo Ha-young, while offering a handshake.
“Hello.”
“Wow~ Legendary skill. That’s great. But what kind of skill is it? They said the technical name was Dokgogu Swordsmanship? How impressive is it?”
She shot questions, one after another, like a quick-fire gun.
“Boss…”
“Huh? Oh. Sorry, did I ask too many questions? But what’s going on today?”
“I’m taking a hero-grade item.”
Replied Yu-ra.
“Huh? Not renting?”
“Yes, here is the paperwork.”
Seo Ha-young received the documents and confirmed it.
She stamped it with a Master’s Seal.
“Okay, you said hero grade, right? That would be in Zone B.”
“Noted.”
Han Yu-ra bowed and began moving.
“Later.”
“You can go and choose now, and show me your skills when you get the chance.”
Seo Ha-young told Jin-woo.
“I will.”
He answered briefly and followed Han Yu-ra.
The head office has various facilities. Most of the amenities are located here. Training centers are also available. Goods may be lent from the stockroom. Of course, permission is required first.
In many ways, the size of the Taewang guild was remarkable.
“Remember, if you apply through the application form, you can receive consumables directly. “
“That’s very convenient.”
Jin-woo replied.
Han Yu-ra laughed.
Jin-woo finds Yu-ra’s laugh attractive.
“This is it.”
The décor was similar to that of an office.
Passing through the carved door, B-4, he felt as if he were in a warehouse store.
The difference is that there were no people there.
“Please check the list of items here.”
She pointed at the monitor.
He nodded and stood in front of the monitor; a list of items appeared.
‘This……’
Hero grade item.
A single hero grade item can significantly increase the value of a player and hundreds of such things were there.
“Amazing.”
He realized that this was only possible in Taewang.
‘I need armor…’
One of the conditions of the signed contract was that the Hero Grade item would be transferred rather than rented out.
In other words, Jin-woo will have full ownership. It may be unreasonable, but the guild readily accepted it.
Jin-woo visited Park Tae-sung.
“I’ve already chosen an item. I’ll take the Cyclops’ leather armor,” he said.
Han Yu-ra gave him a meaningful look.
But no questions were asked.
Using the tablet, he manipulated the robot arm. It picked up the box and brought it before Jin-woo.
When he opened the box, it contained a dark red armor.
[Cyclops Hero’s Leather Armor]
[Rating: Hero Grade]
[Cyclops’ armor.]
[Physical Defense + 1042]
[Agility + 312]
[Vitality + 3000]
‘Cyclops.’
A level 300 monster. It was also the main opponent in the C-11 dungeon attacked by the Taewang Guild.
The hero that defeated the Cyclops, known as the Cyclops Hero, died and had dropped the items.
The item was considered to have an excellent physical defense.
But it was not an efficient item because it had zero magic defense.
Nevertheless, Jin-woo chose this item.
Even if Jin-woo would level up like crazy over the next six months, there was a high chance that he would still not exceed 200 levels.
Before level 200, a monster with attack magic can’t appear. It is only after level 200 that magic attacks begin. Therefore, it is efficient to maximize physical defense.
“Excuse me, Ms. Secretary.”
“Can you find someone for me?”
“A person?”
“Yes, there’s something I must return.”
Han Yu-ra looked at Jin-woo silently, then nodded.
“Okay. Give me some information, and I’ll help you find them.”
“Thank you.”
“I’ve chosen several dungeons in advance, just choose which one you want.”
“Understood.”
The adventure was about to begin.
* * *
“Will you be okay alone?”
Han Yu-ra asked him with a worried voice.
“Yes, it’s all right.”
Jin-woo decided to hunt dungeons alone.
The main reason was efficiency.
‘Solo play is the answer to quick leveling.’
Party play was indeed safer. With several team members having to share their roles, the burden of physical strength was also lower. But having a party had its drawbacks of sharing the experience gained from killing monsters.
It was not an option for him if he wanted to be as strong as possible in six months.
He was willing to risk his safety.
‘The Leather Armor of the Cyclops Hero.’
Just by looking at the defense of this item, dungeon monsters under floor 100 won’t do much damage to Jin-woo.
Park Tae-sung gave in to Jin-woo’s unreasonable request; however, he had a support team ready.
“We have a support team ready, please don’t overdo it.”
Park Tae-sung stated.
If Jin-woo gets into a dangerous situation, he had the most reliable support team ready to follow him into the dungeon.
“Thank you.”
Jin-woo replied.
Park Tae-sung waved goodbye to Yu-ra and walk through the gate.
“I’ll enter now.”
He spoke briefly and then entered the wormhole.
* * *
‘The World’s Seventh Largest Guild.’
Their strength was high.
The dungeon prepared for Jin-woo’s leveling-up was in the form of a tower. It was preferable for Jin-woo because typically, players preferred high-structured dungeons.
There were many reasons.
First, the small area required less travel time. Only a certain number of monsters could appear in circular spaces. Once you’ve dealt with all those monsters, you can move on to the next floor. Activating the device makes monsters appear, that one has to defeat, this becomes a repeated pattern.
Jungles, deserts, or urban dungeons make it harder to locate monsters for players. It takes them a long time to hunt and capture.
But the tower did not need such steps, so it was very convenient to hunt.
The second is that you can get out of the dungeon at any time.
When the floor moves, the gate moves, so you can always escape.
It was also very convenient to receive supplies.
“I’ve never tried a tower-type dungeon before.”
I’ve seen it on TV a few times.
It was known that tower-shaped dungeons were very rare.
The Taewang Guild was influential and powerful, being able to provide a tower.
“I think it’s a moving device.”
There were columns in the center of the room. Atop of the waist-high pillar was a green gem. Jin-woo knew how to use it, as he learned from the briefing.
Now!
Jin-woo pulled the sword and checked his armor once again.
Jin-woo smiled at the sight of his sturdy armor.
Then he touched the jewel with his left hand.
“Activate!”
Woo-oh!
The jewel sparkled. The area before him became distorted, and a wormhole appeared. Black objects fell from the wormhole.
Thud!
Thud!
Three orcs.
“Not a bad start.”
Levels 50 to 80 are dungeons set to the recommended level.
In the beginning, appropriate monsters would appear.
“Dokgogu Sword.”
[Skill: Activates the Dokgogu.]
[Mana continues to decrease.]
[The original attack power of the sword increases by 1000%.]
Woo-oh!
As the skill activates, the sword shined with a renewed golden light.
“Let’s begin with a bright attack!”
Wow!
When Jin-woo wielded the sword, it glowed in the air.
Thud!
The skill was finally activated.
One orc split and fell.
“Quoo!”
Enraged by his companion’s death, another orc rushed towards Jin-woo.
Jin-woo stabbed the orc before it got to attack.
Fook!
“Quo… “
The orc shrieked and shouted.
Good!
Then another orc hit Jin-woo on the back with a stick. The impact was so strong that it made a loud sound. Attacks like that would usually result in broken bones.
“Oh, did a mosquito bite me?”
But he did incur some wounds.
The attack still hurt Jin-woo.
“Take this!”
Swiftly wielding the sword, he cut off the neck of the last orc.
[Level up.]
Then a beautiful system window popped up.
But that wasn’t the only thing floating around.
[The level of the Sleeping Sword has risen.]
His new sword’s level had risen.
[When the level of a Sleeping Sword reaches 10, it wakes up.]
“Ohh.”
He also learned new information.
“Item Information”
While looking at the sword, he shouted the command.
[Sleeping Sword]
[Level: 2]
[Attack: 21]
[Durability: ?]
[A sword that grows with you, it gets 10% of your experience gained.]
Defeating three orcs allowed the Sleeping Sword to level up. Although it only earned 10% experience, the level of the sword was low, so it quickly leveled up.
“Okay, then let’s work hard to level up.”
He had a different purpose for leveling up.
Jin-woo immediately raised his hand at the jewels.
“Activate!”
