Level 1 Player

Chapter 105 Ifrit’s Fear

“Hyunseong, what the hell is this?”

Hyunseong opened her mouth to the question of her mother, Misook Park.

“It’s an abbreviation. Although there are some restrictions, if both players and non-Awakened eat it, the corresponding stat will increase by 1. If you eat the Elixir of Strength, you will become stronger, and if you eat the Elixir of Stamina, your stamina will improve.”

“I didn’t know such a precious thing existed.”

Ms. Park Mi-sook muttered with a surprised expression.

“It’s not just that, Mom. Maybe they will roll their eyes when other people find out about the elixir.”

Hyunseong nodded at Choi’s words.

“You are right, Mom. It has some limitations, but for players, it’s like an elixir of dreams. The same is true for non-Awakened ordinary people.”

“Did you and Wooshin eat this too?”

Choi Hyun-ji asked.

“right.”

Hyunseong graciously admitted.

“Then why did you suddenly give this to us? Haven’t you opened your mouth all this time?”

“I don’t know how the elixir will affect the general public.”

“Then it seems that safety is secured now. So you gave it to us?”

“right.”

“If the existence of the elixir itself becomes known to the outside world, it will be a disaster.”

Choi Hyun-ji knew the value of the leap at once.

“It’s good that it ends up being just a big deal, but something worse could happen.”

“It’s good enough.”

Hyunseong Choi also agreed with Hyunseong.

You can raise the stats of players.

It can make non-awakened ordinary people look like awakened players.

Hyeon-ji Choi was well aware of how strong players are and how those with wealth and power are obsessed with health.

If the existence of Hyunseong’s elixir is revealed, he will have to negotiate with them or go to war.

“It is unfortunate that the existence of the elixir has not been revealed until now.”

Now, Hyunseong’s status has risen and he is in a position where he can choose between negotiations and war, but in the past, he would have been unconditionally taken away.

“I don’t plan on revealing it anymore. So, my sister, keep a secret. Let’s not open our mouths about the elixir even when we are with family.”

“Okay, I’ll do that.”

“I don’t do that either.”

Hyun-ji Choi and Mi-sook Park pledged to keep the secret with a determined look.

Of course, as long as we are human, it is possible to disclose the existence of the Elixir even by mistake.

However, in order to prepare for that, he accepted two members of his family as his subordinates.

To prevent accidental mention of the existence of the elixir due to the effect of the monarch’s job.

After accepting his mother and older sister as his subordinate and presenting him with an elixir, Hyunseong let the two of them learn a lot of defensive skill books.

Before, I had no magic power, so I only gave him a passive skill book.

But now there was no need.

What if the use of an active skill becomes known to others due to unavoidable circumstances?

He was awakened, but said he did not register as a player because he had no intention of hunting.

Both replied that they would.

* * *

‘What, buy?’

Hyunseong collected huge points from the success of the S×K×T competition, gacha system, and lottery ticket sales.

Given how many points he had collected, he could have bought three more mythic-grade skillbooks.

Hyunseong opened the purchase window.

‘First, you need to upgrade the Book of Flames.’

He looked at the flame-based skill book.

But the explanation was short.

‘If possible, let’s do something other than the power of God.’I did a lot of eye shopping.

In the meantime, I was able to find a skill book that was a myth grade skill, but did not mention the power of the gods.

[Ifrit’s Fear – Mythic Rank]

-Active skill

-You can use Ifrit’s Cowardice that burns everything.

-Seller: Spirit God

-Sales price: 9,999,999,999,999,999 points

-Active Skillbook Ifrit’s Cowardice – Would you like to purchase the Mythic rank? Once purchased, items cannot be refunded or exchanged.

-[Yes No]

‘Burn everything down.’

It seemed to be able to sufficiently support the attack power of the relatively weak Tome of Flame.

‘Lion.’

Hyunseong clicked yes.

-Active Skillbook Ifrit’s Cowardice – Do you want to acquire the Mythic level?

-[Yes No]

I just clicked yes.

-Active Skillbook Ifrit’s Fear – Failed to acquire Myth level.

-Active Skillbook Ifrit’s Intimidation – Myth grade and Active Skillbook Book of Flames – Unique semi-myth grade are fused.

-Active skill Book of Fire – Unique myth grade has been created.

This time, the skills were merged without buffering.

That wasn’t the end.

-The mercenary rank has been increased from the hero rank to the legendary rank.

‘what?’

Also, the mercenary rank has risen.

‘What the hell is the standard?’

Hyunseong summoned the mercenary Chang with an absurd expression.

[Legendary grade mercenary Choi Hyunseong]

– All stats are evenly developed mercenaries.

-Legendary grade mercenary Choi Hyunseong can play the roles of tank, melee, ranged, and healer.

-Your ability as a melee and ranged dealer is superior to the roles of tanks and healers.

– Excellent endurance and strong in long-term battles.

‘It just went up the grade.’

There were no significant changes other than the change from hero level to legendary level.

‘Turn off your mind and let’s see how your skills have changed?’

Hyunseong confirmed the information of the book of flames that was reborn as the only Shinhwa rating.

[Book of Flames – Unique Mythic Rank]

-Active skill book

-Under the caster’s will, he scares Ifrit at will.

-Ifrit’s Fear burns the target’s magic power.

-Continues to burn until the target’s magical power is completely burned.

-Ifrit’s dread continues to spread with magical power.

-Ifrit’s cowardice absorbs a portion of the magical energy it burns.

-You can grow by absorbing fire-type skills and items.

‘what’s this?’

The name alone, the surge of flames The contents were completely covered with Ifrit’s fear.

‘Well, a good thing would be good.’

There was nothing bad about Hyunseong’s point of view as his skill power has increased.

‘Well, what else are you going to buy? Need to strengthen existing skills? Or do I have to learn new skills?’

I couldn’t help but be worried.

To be honest, I didn’t really feel the need to learn new skills.

The powerful attack power is responsible for the breath of the Black Lightning God.When you wipe out multiple enemies, there is a book of flames.

Physical attack resistance and skill attack resistance are blocked by the armor of the Lightning God.

bodily injury?

There is a book of immortality.

There is no need to learn other types of skills.

‘It would be better to have one more growth-type skill.’

In the case of a book of gluttony, it grows only by devouring higher-grade monster corpses.

However, in the case of other skillbooks, if you absorb the same series of skillbooks, they will grow immediately.

‘I think it would be good to add some options to the existing skills.’

Hyunseong skimmed through Shinhwa-level skills.

If there is an option that can be used, buy it and learn it, and I was thinking of using it as nourishment for the growth of existing myth grade skills.

‘uh?’

Then I stopped looking at the weaponry.

‘Come to think of it.’

All of Hyunseong’s growth-type skills became Shinhwa grades.

The armor of the Demon King was also a semi-myth grade item.

‘Only the Dragon Blood Sword and the Vampire King’s accessory set are legendary.’

In my mind, I also wanted to take this opportunity to change to a Shinhwa rating.

However… … .

‘The options are too scarce.’

In particular, the dragon blood sword is a growth type item.

I’ve been feeding them a lot of dragon’s blood, but growth was slow because I only fed legend grades.

‘The dragon blood sword will grow only when a myth-grade polyp monster comes out.’

Other than that, there was no way to grow the dragon blood sword.

‘But it’s not. It’s always good that there are no myth-grade monsters.’

You can’t hope for a mythic level monster to appear for an equipment upgrade.

What if a myth-grade polyp monster really appeared?

A country could be destroyed.

Even catching a semi-mythological grade Orc Lord, he suffered to death.

No matter how much Hyunseong’s stats and skills were upgraded, he wasn’t confident that he could easily win a victory against Shinhwa-grade monsters.

You should do well, Dongsoo.

If you make a mistake, Hyunseong could be pushed one-sidedly.

‘Let’s just change the accessory set.’

The Vampire King’s accessory set is definitely good.

But now is the time to change.

If there’s one problem… … .

‘Not enough points.’

Like the vampire king’s accessory set, there were not enough points to match the item set.

‘I have to work harder.’

I decided to keep the remaining points.

For the purchase of the accessory set of the blood god, which is a high level compatibility of the vampire king’s accessory set.

* * *

After reorganization, Hyunseong went to Canada and met Lucia and Blackie.

“This guy is pretty big.”

Hyunseong looked at the black man and said.

The size of the blackbird was quite large.

Of course, she was still just a snake with a small body.

– Beep!

As soon as Blackbird saw Hyunseong, he rushed to say that he was happy.

Lucia took good care of her, but she seems to have missed Hyunseong, who is perceived as her parents, as she is still a young individual.

Blackbird wrapped his body around Hyunseong’s wrist.“You’re hunting.”

At Lucia’s words, Hyunseong nodded and started hunting.

‘Let’s do a light test.’

It was time to check the power of the Book of Flames, which absorbed Ifrit’s fear and was reborn as a myth.

Hyunseong used the Book of Flames.

Whoops!

A red flame blazed out.

‘Once again, there is no difference in appearance from the past.’

Whik!

Hyunseong threw a book of flames at the monsters.

The magical power given to the Book of Flames was kept to a minimum.

– Aaaaaah!

The monster hit by the book of flames screamed in pain and twisted its body.

The Book of Flames spread at a frightening speed, burning the monster’s magic.

The monster, whose body was engulfed in flames, ran wildly, rolling around.

“Well.”

Hyunseong gave the Book of Flames more magical power.

Crisp!

The monster’s body turned into a handful of ashes.

‘The spreading speed and power are much stronger.’

It seemed that the property of burning the enemy’s magic that the Book of Flame had in the past could be demonstrated better.

Does it feel like a fire that spread slowly is spreading rapidly?

– Crumble!

The monsters flocked to see if they heard the screams of their colleagues.

Hyunseong made a book of flames in the form of a spear and flew it.

Whik!

The Book of Flames cut through the air and flew towards the monsters.

Kwajik! Kwajik!

The Book of Flames continuously penetrated the bodies of monsters in a straight line.

‘It’s also more destructive than before.’

The penetrating power has increased by more than three times compared to when it was loaded with the same magical power in the past.

Whoops!

The speed at which monsters pierced by the Book of Flames were engulfed in flames also increased significantly.

‘Good.’

It was refreshing to see him fully demonstrating the power of myth level skill without doing anything because it was the power of a god.

She tried to put her mind at ease, thinking that she might one day be able to use it.

However, it seems that he was constantly paying attention and under stress.

After that, Hyunseong tested the changed book of flames through various experiments.

Of course, from the standpoint of the monsters that were the subject of the test, it was to die for.

– Aaaaaaah!

The monsters, excited by the death of their comrades, all attacked Hyunseong from a distance.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

A window of cold air poured down like rain toward Hyunseong.

Hyunseong wore the breath of the Black Dragon God and continued to blow the flames.

That was then.

A book of flames blown by Hyunseong and a spear of cold blows by monsters collided in the air by chance.

Whoops!

At that moment, the cold spear burned and disappeared as it was.

‘what?’

Hyunseong’s face was colored with embarrassment.

‘They don’t collide with each other and explode, or one of them burns out, doesn’t it?’

All of a sudden, an option with Ifrit’s fearful flash came to mind.

‘Obviously I said I’d burn everything down.’

The corners of Hyunseong’s lips rose.

Whoops!

The book of flames that received Hyunseong’s will changed into the shape of a large shield.

The Book of Flames burned all the skill attacks fired by the monsters.

‘That’s great.’

Ifrit’s fear of burning everything, and a book of flames that burn by burning the enemy’s magical power.

When these two were merged into one, a morale skill was born that burns even the magical power contained in the skill the monster flies.

* * *

Around the time Hyunseong moved to Canada to test his skills, hunt, and raise his stats.

Japan’s new government focused on work with the feeling of changing the body.

When an incompetent works hard, it is poison.

But when a competent person works hard, it pays off.

The Japanese cabinet ministers under Hyunseong were relatively competent.

No, the capable people had no choice but to remain.

This is because those who were not competent acknowledged their own shortcomings and received help from other talented people under Hyunseong.

There were no factional fights, and the ministers took care of each and every task that might be considered light and insignificant.

The subordinates were also very excited about this.

If the boss is too competent and meticulous, the subordinates suffer.

It is because I have to deal with the things that I normally skip over with meticulous care.

Officials were dying.

But what if civil servants in public service are suffering?

The quality of life of the people is improved and the development of the country is accelerated.

Just as Joseon made a lot of progress during the days of King Sejong the Great, but the rulers died.

Japan is changing rapidly.

Things were getting faster and the problems scattered in Japan began to improve quickly.

Then a problem arose.

Some of the cabinet members, including Prime Minister Takahishi, collapsed because they could not withstand the heavy workload.

– Whether in the office or in the hospital, I must fulfill my mission as the Prime Minister of Japan.

Prime Minister Takahishi insisted so, and continued to serve in his hospital bed.

It was the same for other Japanese cabinet ministers who had fallen.

Some criticized the Takahishi government’s appearance as a ‘show’.

However, there were far more Japanese people who viewed it positively.

It was because of the past.

The Takahishi government was not authoritarian and served the people.

The hard work of the Takahishi government was acknowledged by both those who liked it and those who hated it.

– The prime minister and cabinet ministers say that they work overtime every day and go to work even on weekends.

– Prime Minister, take a break from your work.

– Ministers also take care of themselves and work. Then you really die.

At the very least, the Japanese people took care of the health of Takahishi government officials.

There have been many rumors that Japan, which was a politically underdeveloped country, has changed because of the Takahishi government.

The Takahishi government, which had no solid support base except for the Guardian Protestantism of mankind, gained public support.

But there was a problem.

“Your Excellency, you really fall down like this.”

It wasn’t a show.

Prime Minister Takahishi’s health was really bad.

Despite the reluctance of his aide, Prime Minister Takahishi did not let go of the pile of papers from his hand.

“Even if this body is torn apart, I must complete the task that Kami-sama has given to the lowly servant. My insufficiency cannot cause trouble for Kami-sama’s feat.”

Prime Minister Takahishi rejected the disapproval of his security officers and stuck to his work.

The situation of other ministers was similar.He wasn’t afraid of overwork at all.

As fanatics, they devoted their lives to their work in order to fulfill the mission entrusted to them.

The combination of the crazy fanatics and the effects of the legendary class lord created too much synergy.

* * *

“… … .”

After hunting, Hyunseong was at a loss for words while searching for articles on the Internet at the hotel.

“Why?”

At Lucia’s question, Hyunseong opened her mouth with a trembling expression.

“It is said that Prime Minister Takahishi of Japan is working in a hospital bed at the risk of death from overwork.”

“You mean in the hospital? He is a very conscientious official.”

“It’s because of me that Prime Minister Takahishi is doing that.”

“Then why don’t you tell me to work in moderation?”

At Lucia’s words, Hyunseong pondered for a moment.

“I don’t think so.”

Prime Minister Takahishi and his ministers earned the trust of the Japanese people for their hard work.

If the guy you used to play with plays, it’s like that.

But when a hard-working guy plays, he gets cursed.

That is the human mind.

“there’s nothing we can do. I need to go to Japan for a while.”

“Are you going to give me an elixir?”

At Lucia’s words, Hyunseong nodded his head.

“If the body is weak and it is difficult to eat, it is enough to make the body strong.”

There is no need to raise aggressive parts such as strength or magic.

It’s enough to raise your physical and mental stats so that you can do your job well.

“Then I will go.”

Hyunseong ripped the scroll for long-distance space travel with those words.

Wrath!

Hyunseong’s figure disappeared from the hotel room with a bright glow.

* * *

The place where Hyunseong appeared was the Prime Minister’s residence.

“Kami-sama!”

One fanatic who was waiting prostrated in front of Hyunseong.

‘Oh, I’m really not used to it.’

The gods of fanatics really can’t be done.

Fortunately, the public and private sectors were thoroughly separated, and when there were others who were not members of the church, Hyunseong was treated as a player rather than a god.

“I need to meet Prime Minister Takahishi.”

“I will call you right now.”

“no. I will go see you in person.”

It was a bit unusual to call someone who was struggling in the hospital room at the risk of overworked death.

“If you do, I will find out.”

Under the guidance of a fanatic, Hyunseong secretly headed to the hospital where Prime Minister Takahishi and cabinet members were admitted.

As soon as Hyunseong arrived at the hospital, he first looked for Prime Minister Takahishi.

“Kami-sama!”

As soon as he saw Hyunseong, Prime Minister Takahishi got out of bed, knelt down on his knees and banged his head on the ground.

“Ugh… … .”

Hyunseong’s expression was not good.

Prime Minister Takahishi’s health did not look very good at first glance.

His fat had gone down, his cheeks were full, and his eyes were wide open, as if looking at a rotten Dongtae’s eyes.

“You seem to be in poor health.”

“I’m sorry, Kamisama-shi.”

Prime Minister Takahishi felt more guilty about not properly carrying out the orders Hyunseong had given than his own ill health.“Take it.”

Hyunseong gave Prime Minister Takahishi a leap of stamina.

“Thank you, Kamisama!”

Prime Minister Takahishi carefully accepted the leap handed over by Hyunseong.

“Eat.”

As soon as Hyunseong’s words fell out, Prime Minister Takahishi ate a leap of stamina.

Hyunseong kept giving the elixir, and Prime Minister Takahishi continued to take the elixir.

Prime Minister Takahishi’s appearance gradually changed as he received the elixir.

His skinny body gained weight, and his eyes lit up with life.

Also, his flaky skin tightened, his wrinkles smoothed out, and his face rejuvenated.

“It is a miracle!”

“Kami-sama has done a miracle for you!”

“Oooh! Kamisama-sama!”

The fanatics around them started to go crazy.

‘These crazy ones.’

It was fortunate that only crazy people were gathered.

“Can I continue to work without worrying about my health?”

At Hyunseong’s question, Prime Minister Takahishi once again banged his head on the floor of his hospital room.

“Of course it is, Kamisama.”

“Guide them to the other guys’ rooms.”

At Hyunseong’s words, the fanatics quickly led the way.

Hyunseong gave the fanatics an elixir of physical strength and an elixir of mental power.

Thinking there was no need to overdo it, he only fed the lowest elixirs and the lowest elixirs.

However, those two things alone have changed the people who were hit by their work.

‘Other guys should take precautions too.’

Hyunseong returned to the prime minister’s residence and summoned all the cabinet ministers under his command and gave him an elixir.

“Five! Kamisama-sama!”

“I will give my life to work for Kamisama!”

The fanatics were very moved and shouted.

‘The crazy ones have gone even more crazy.’

Even if not, his loyalty to Hyunseong reached its max, and now he has the momentum to break through the sky and break through the atmosphere.

Hyunseong moderately appeased the fanatics and went back to Canada with a long-distance scrolling scroll.

It was only natural that the fanatics were even more enthusiastic when they saw it.

Prime Minister Takahishi and cabinet ministers, who were restored to health by Hyunseong, left the hospital and returned to work.

And he devoted himself to his mission even more diligently.

He worked overtime almost every day and slept less than four hours a day.

But Prime Minister Takahishi and his cabinet members never tire of it.

He ran and ran non-stop as if he had become a superman.

* * *

The White House in Washington, D.C., USA.

“You missed my expectations.”

President Wilson frowned and mumbled.

“I have nothing to tell you, President.”

The CIA director bowed his head.

The prediction was completely wrong.

Public support for the new Japanese government has risen rapidly.

Where is that?

The prediction that the fanatics would self-destruct themselves was completely wrong.

I don’t know how Choi Hyunseong did it, but the Takahishi government was working hard for Japan.

Choi Hyunseong did not give any favors to the player or sell national assets at all.

He did not even do basic missionary work at all.Even the director of the CIA began to doubt whether they were really fanatics of the Guardian Protestantism of mankind.

“With this, Japan has completely passed to Choi Hyunseong.”

“I think it is highly likely.”

“It will be difficult to enjoy Japan as comfortably as before.”

Japan is the third largest economy in the world.

However, for the United States, it was at the forefront of representing its interests and expanding its influence in Asia.

To be honest, he was the best listener.

However, it seemed that it would not be easy to expect such a role from Japan in the future.

Choi Hyunseong’s attention was seen, so it was difficult to apply pressure like before.

“In the worst case, our American influence across Asia could be drastically reduced.”

“ Do you think that a new order can be created in Asia centered on Choi Hyunseong?”

“Maybe it could be. I have no intention of leaving it alone.”

Although China is the world’s second-largest economy and Japan is the third-largest economy in the world, combining both has yet to rival the United States.

However, no one could predict how the future would change from the moment the variable Choi Hyunseong intervened.

“More than that, what happened to the investigation of the Guardian Protestant fanatics of mankind?”

“ After meeting the player Choi Hyunseong, his physical ability has definitely improved.”

President Wilson’s expression hardened.

“It means that it is possible to give the monarch’s flag buff effect to non-Awakened ordinary people.”

“Sure. Actually, it’s not unusual. The buff effect of the buffer is also only extremely effective, but it is applied to non-Awakened ordinary people as it is.”

“Yes, but this is going to be a bit of a headache.”

Buffer buffs have a time limit.

There is also a limit to the number of targets that can be buffed by walking because it consumes a lot of mana.

But the flag of the monarch is not like that.

If you put your mind to it, you can walk not only to tens of thousands of people, but to hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.

“We are hiding as much as possible.”

“Yeah, you should do that. If it becomes known, there will be a riot.”

The need for survival is the most basic need of all living things.

In order to survive for a long time, the body must be healthy.

But there are limits.

No matter how well you take care of your health, as time passes and you get older, your physical abilities will inevitably decline.

But what if there is a secret to being healthy without any effort?

What if I could improve my stamina, become more agile, and become stronger?

Everyone will strive to receive that blessing.

Even if there is a sweet poison hidden in that blessing.

“If you make a mistake, the whole world could become a slave to Choi Hyunseong player.”

President Wilson said with a hard expression on his face.

The United States noticed one thing through the change in its ranks.

Legendary class lords have a weak brainwashing effect.

People don’t change dramatically in an instant.

But it changes slowly.

In everything we do, we put the words and intentions of Choi Hyunseong first.

This was a serious problem.

“Don’t worry, President. We do our best to prevent information leakage. Choi Hyunseong also appears to have cracked down on fanatics.”

His head was throbbing.

What if the player Choi Hyunseong wants to put the whole of humanity under his control?

Should he fight him?

Or should he hold hands with him?

“My head hurts.”

President Wilson squeezed his eyes shut.

Choi Hyunseong player.

It was impossible to tell whether his existence was a blessing or a curse to mankind.
