Reversing Life With Legendary Skills! - Chapter 9

“Wow ah ah-!”

Sunwoo couldn’t shut his mouth. He ran around their new house.

Then he asked Jinwoo.

“Brother! Is this our home?!”

“Yes.”

“Wow ah ah ah-! Awesome!”

Sunwoo went back to the house.

Jinwoo pretended to be nonchalant throughout the process, but he too was surprised.

“No way, I can see the Han River.”

He thought to himself.

The Taewang guild provided the residence. It was a luxury apartment overlooking the Han River.

“I used to live in a 15-year-old villa, and now I’ve moved here, how can I adapt?”

“Well, I have to. That miserable life is now in the past. I have to reach further forward.”

In the future, he was planning to progress further as a player.

He opened the inventory and checked the items. There were two items there. The first item was the hero skill card that he had received from signing the contract; The other was a ticket to get back to the strange subspace.

Jinwoo took out the skill card.

“Sunwoo.”

He called his brother.

“Yeah?”

Sunwoo came with a slightly tense expression.

“Take this.”

“Huh? What.. That’s.. It’s a hero grade skill card!”

“It’s for you, learn it.”

“This? Really?”

Jinwoo nodded.

“I’m already out of skill slots. Even if I wanted to learn the skill, I am unable to. In the first place, I asked for it so I can give it to you. So you better learn it.”

“That’s…”

Sunwoo sobbed.

They lived in a dangerous world. Time will come when Sunwoo will also have to go to the dungeon as a player. Getting a stronger will increase his chances of survival.

“I wish I could bring a legendary card…”

The octopus man had more at his shop.

“I can’t take it.”

“Then, I’ll make you stronger by being in this world.”

Jinwoo vowed once again.

“And Sunwoo.”

“Mhh?”

“Don’t worry too much about me. I have to go somewhere. I will be back in about four days.”

“Where are you going?”

“To become strong.”

Jinwoo smiled.

* * *

The axis of time at the place he was heading did not align with Earth’s. Therefore, at the time of the contract signing, Jinwoo requested for Sunwoo to have a bodyguard. Sunwoo had a bodyguard securing him for 24 hours a day.

“I must go now.”

Jinwoo took the admission ticket from the inventory. The admission ticket looked like a standard red ticket. Upon looking at it, there was nothing on its surface. There was no information provided at all.

[Admission Ticket]

Even if he checked the item information, that was all it said.

He remembered what the octopus man said.

‘You will know when the time comes.’

“I have to become stronger.”

Knowing that it would expedite the process, Jin-woo ripped the ticket.

* * *

When he opened his eyes again, Jinwoo welcomed the familiar scenery. There was a large snow mountain and a village underneath.

He had returned to the place that changed his life.

“I missed checking the time last time.”

He looked at the bottom right to see how long he could stay.

His eyes opened wide with surprise.

[59 seconds]

“What is this? You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Previously, he had stayed there for close to an hour. But this time, he was only given 59 seconds. Fortunately, the time did not start counting down yet. Unlike his first visit, this time, he was using an admission ticket.

“Is that why?”

He asked himself confusedly.

“My head hurts.”

“I never expected it to be like this…”

This time, he planned to buy an item. He had enough money in his bank account to purchase anything he wanted to. But there was an unsuspected limitation set on him.

“Hoo-! It doesn’t solve the problem.”

He calmed his mind. Like in his guide days, even in the event of an emergency, he quickly adapted to reality and found a way to cope.

“I have to buy something in 59 seconds.”

He thought to himself.

No matter what, he needed to purchase a ticket and a return bead first. If he did not have an admission ticket, he would not be able to enter the place again. More importantly, if he does not use the return bead in time, he would die.

The two things were his top priorities at that moment.

“Then, I must get a Muramasa-class weapon.”

It was best if he got Muramasa. If not, he at least needed to get a weapon of the same quality.

A Legendary grade weapon.

He needed an item that produces the maximum effectiveness of the Dokgogu Sword.

Legendary-class weapons and skills will give him the strength that no one else can surpass.

“I have to hurry.”

Time was of the essence.

* * *

He stood in front of the entrance.

There were guards staunchly guarding it.

When he looked inside, he could see many shops. The nearest one was the uncle’s shop.

“Could it reach Mister Octopus if I scream?”

He asked himself.

“Mister!!”

But, the octopus man could not hear him.

Jinwoo shouted again.

“Mis-“

“They can’t hear it.”

“They don’t see you.”

The guards alternately said.

“If you want to buy something.”

“Pass the door first.”

Said the guards.

“Why are you talking turns talking?”

Jinwoo asked them.

He was puzzled, but it was not relevant since he was pressed for time.

He sighed. He only had one choice.

‘I need to be quick.’

He stepped back, posed like a sprinter, and then launched himself.

[58 seconds]

It was as he anticipated, the moment he passed through the door, the time started counting down.

[55 seconds]

He arrived at the uncle’s shop.

“Huh? It’s you, little Earthling.”

The octopus man said.

“Mister! It has been a while. I don’t have much time. Please give me a ticket and a return bead!”

Jinwoo said to the octopus man.

“Have you eaten wrong? Why so sudden…”

“The Entrance time!”

“Aha! Okay.”

As if he understood Jinwoo’s situation, he quickly took out the admission ticket and the return bead.

“What was your account number again?”

The octopus man asked him.

“The Bank of Korea! 375-0000-00000!”

“Okay, wait a second.”

The octopus man pressed a button on something that looked like a phone.

Time check.

[37 sec]

Ahhh!

He only had 30 seconds left.

He quickly rolled his eyes and looked at the board. Various weapons and armors were placed next to the mouth-watering skill card.

“Where is the hero rating… hero rating… hero rating…. and legend rating ?!’

“Okay, the payment went through.”

After the payment was processed, the admission ticket and return bead were added to the inventory.

“Mister! Weapons… where? Where are the legendary-grade weapons?”

“It’s in the store.”

“Muramasa too?!”

“Huh? this?”

The octopus man put his hand on the yukata.

Muramasa was in his hand.

[22 seconds]

“I’ll buy that!”

Jinwoo exclaimed.

“Huh? You can’t buy this. “

The octopus man answered.

“Money! I’ll give you money! I have a lot of money!”

[20 seconds]

The octopus man scratched his head with his sucker.

“Money is not the problem. Little one, listen.”

Jinwoo caught Muramasa that the octopus man handed over.

[18 seconds]

At that moment.

Ahhhhhhh!

Chills ate at his whole body, and the landscape in front of him had changed. He stood alone in a vast, dark space. No, he was not alone. There was someone else there, someone that made all of his senses flare-up.

It was then.

At that moment, he felt that someone was grabbing him.

The dark space disappeared, and the scenery of the village came to his eyes again.

“Ugh… … Ugh… ….”

“You can’t use it.”

“What…What was that?”

“Because your world has no power yet. You can’t use something like Muramasa.”

“That… what?”

“Hey, your time is almost up.”

Jinwoo froze at the words of the octopus man.

[7 seconds]

“Oh, no…”

“Take this one instead, not a guy like Muramasa.”

At that time, the octopus man handed him a sword.

It was a stunning blue long sword.

[4 seconds]

“I will take care of the payment. Goodbye, Mister Octopus.”

“Go, and thank you!”

Jinwoo hurriedly bowed, put the long sword into the inventory, and then took out the return bead.

[2 seconds]

As he broke the bead, a light encased his body.

* * *

When he opened his eyes, he was standing in his room.

“Ugh… … Ugh… ….”

The eerie feeling of Muramasa’s grasp has not yet diminished.

He looked at his hand that was quivering.

“Wow…What was that?”

He had no way of finding out what had just occurred nor a way of uncovering what the words of the octopus man meant.

“Ha…Still, I somehow acquired a weapon.”

He checked the inventory, thinking that he should say his thanks to the octopus man.

“Hoo-! It would be nice if skill cards can be stored in the inventory.”

The type of items that were eligible to be stored in the inventory was limited. Among the limited items, skill cards were not included.

‘If it was possible, I could buy a skill card and come back.’

He thought.

“Huh?”

[Admission Ticket]

[Cooldown: 180 days]

There was a cooldown time.

It was never like that before.

“Ha…That passage was a special case. It must have been like winning the lottery.”

According to the octopus man, it was an old passage. In other words, it was likely that the system for that dungeon entrance was implemented with a different system from that of the admission ticket.

“Hoo-! It’s unfortunate that the dungeon is already gone.”

The dungeon that had the passageway had already disappeared.

“Now, the weapon…”

He put his admission ticket away and took out his weapon.

Although the bluish sword was impressive, it had no distinguishing features. It did not have any unique designs or an unusual configuration.

‘Information’

As he shouted the command, the sword’s information appeared in front of him.

[Sleeping Sword]

[Level: 1]

[Attack Power: 20]

[Durability: ?]

[A sword that grows with you. It receives 10% of the experience you gain.]

Its attack power was low, but that was not what caught his attention.

“The name of the sword implies that it’s asleep?”

‘It has a strange name.’

He thought.

Jinwoo had another question.

“Why is there no rating indicated?”

He asked out loud out of curiosity because every item was supposed to have a rating. But the sword did not have one.

“A weapon without a rank? I wonder if there is such a thing.”

“It’s a pity that I didn’t get a legendary weapon…”

Still, he learned a lot.

“The time limit was 59 seconds.”

“It is the same as my level.”

“Of course, it could be for another reason, but it is the most suitable conclusion.”

“There is a cool time for the admission ticket and above all……”

He remembered the experience he had when he touched Muramasa. It gave him chills just thinking about it.

“Mister Octopus said that my world wasn’t ready yet. What did he mean?”

There were many answered questions, but now an even bigger question had appeared.

“Ugh…”

He woke up and scratched his head.

“I have to increase the entry time by raising my level.”

That was the only way for him to obtain answers and better equipment.

“I will improve myself further.”

Jinwoo vowed.

Ri-ing! Ri-ing!

His smartphone rang.

It was a withdrawal confirmation.

[Withdrawal: 1,000,000,000 won]

[Withdrawal: 1,000,000,000 won]

“Huh… … Why is it more expensive than a legendary skill card?”

He exclaimed with shock.

“Was I a victim to price gouging?” [TL NOTE: Too soon, Korean novel, too soon.]

“I didn’t think so.”

“There must be more to it.”

The sword must be strong.

He had to get stronger within the next six months.

Jinwoo called someone.

“I’m Kang Jin-woo. I want to start hunting.”
