Chapter 3

[Cruckle.]

It was the sound of a stomach churn that woke up Si-Jun Park.

It was absurd to hear it from the head rather than the stomach.

[Tom Dok is still hungry.]

Messages fluttered and ran as if they were fighting a grudge.

Park Si-jun ignored it and opened the status window.

[Name] Park Si-Jun

[Level] 1

[Title] None

[Background] None

[Ability]

Strength: 12.1 Agility: 10

Stamina: 10 Intellect: 10

[Talent] Reading Reading, Swordsmanship (C)

[Skill] Horizontal slash, vertical slash, stab

“What is this?”

The status window has been changed.

Tom-dok and Samjae swordsmanship were created in the characteristic that only had a question mark.

Just as in the message that appeared a while ago.

[Tom Reading: Read something, taste what you read.]

It was unkind.

read and taste something.

Park Si-jun recalled the message window from a while ago one by one.

He was the first to complete a swordsman who had been training for a thousand years. Due to the effect of tamdok, muscle strength increased, and he learned the samjae sword technique.’

He’s read a lot of web novels so far, but he hasn’t gotten any stats or traits.

So, it would be right to view this as the effect of addiction reading.

“Then if you read the web novel…”

Does this mean that abilities increase and traits arise?

The more I thought about it, the more complicated my head became.

Why do you have this characteristic in yourself, who has no background?

no, in the first place.

‘I’ve never heard of such a characteristic.’

Traits are part of the power that the mastermind imparts, and each mastermind presents different characteristics.

Of course, there is no way that Park Si-joon has a character without a background.

Aside from that, he hadn’t even been told that he had the trait of addiction.

‘Why the hell did it happen?’

Park Si-jun scratched the back of his head.

I don’t know why I got the ability, so it’s absurd.

First of all, one thing is for sure.

[Three retest (C).]

A basic martial art that contains three herbivores, cutting and stabbing. It contained a greater enlightenment, but it is now gone.

-Effect: When using a sword, attack power + 10%, swordsmanship knowledge, weakness identification.

-Skills: Horizontal slash, vertical slash, stab.

“jackpot.”

This feature was awesome.

* * *

I have some mysterious powers.

Then there is one thing you need to do, check your abilities.

Sijun Park sat down and looked at the reader.

‘Is the web novel you can see now in your revision?’

There were many things that disappeared at the end of the period because I prefer to read web novels rather than buy them.

Park Si-jun checked his web novels.

[I am a top star alone.][Player, return.][The 10th Circle Archmage is back.][SSS-class player.][Only I am a returner.]

“Okay.”

It’s a title that oozes voices just by reading it.

There was only one thing I had fun with here.

The rest were novels written according to clichés and trends without anything unusual. The grades weren’t great either.

‘Let’s read everything from the top first.’

Most of the volume was between 8 and 10 volumes.

At Si-Jun Park’s reading speed, he could read them all in about 8 or 9 hours each.

He may be able to read more quickly since he’s already read it.

“If you read it, you’ll know what this ability is.”

Park Si-jun started as a top star by himself and started reading web novels one by one.

I read it in a fast-reading manner, but there was no difficulty in understanding the content as I read it anyway.

The content of the top star by myself was that the main character, who was cut from an idol trainee, accidentally awakens the status window, and based on that, the story is about success.

‘All novels these days are like this, well.’

Even in real life, the status window appears.

Park Si-jun read a web novel like that.

[I have read ‘Top Star Alone’.][Intellect has increased by 1.9 due to the effect of Reading Reading.][Number of works remaining until the realization: 4.]

Then a message different from the previous one appeared.

A swordsman who has been trained for a thousand years has been embodied or not, but this novel has none of that.

‘The number of works remaining until the realization… … .’

Park Si-jun quickly read the next web novel.

[You have read ‘The Player, Returning’][Strength has increased by 2.5 due to the effect of Tomb Reading.][Number of works remaining until the realization: 3.]

“Are the numbers going down by one?”

I don’t know what it is, but as I read novels one by one, the number of works was decreasing one by one.

‘What will change if I fill this out? What else is immersion?’

Unlike the swordsman who had been training for a thousand years, he did not even get into the novel.

‘How do you raise that level of immersion?’



Can I increase the level of immersion by reading it several times?

I didn’t know now.

‘I don’t even have proficiency in my characteristics.’

There is something called proficiency in the trait sponsored by the hinterland. Raising it will make your characteristics stronger and allow you to use your skills efficiently.

‘Has the skill level changed to immersion?’

That was not in Park Si-jun’s characteristic.

‘It is said that the Samjae sword technique used by Gilcheon has developed into a new sword technique thanks to the enlightenment of a thousand years.’

However, what he has learned is the ordinary samjae sword technique.

As the level of immersion is increased, the samjae sword technique is strengthened, and it may change like the samjae sword technique used by Gilcheon.

‘I actually said that the level of immersion was low.’

So it was also said that the implementation was not done properly.

Park Si-joon’s head rotated very quickly.

‘It’s fun.’

A deep smile crept on his lips.

This situation was fun. It was a pity that he didn’t necessarily learn traits, but that was enough.

If you read a book for a few hours, your abilities will increase.

What no one else can do, only Park Si-Jun can do it.

[I have read ‘Only I am a Returner’… … .][You have finished reading ‘SSS-Class Player’… … .]

Soon the sun was setting. He hadn’t eaten since the day, but Park Si-jun didn’t even feel hungry.

He said now was not the time for him to eat.

His eyes read the letters on the screen at tremendous speed, and his fingers quickly scrolled.

‘Was this novel a hit?’

The novel I’m reading right now is The Return of the 10th Circle Archmage.

The protagonist, who has been transferred to another world, achieves the 10th circle through meeting with a dragon.

And after going through several events, he returns to the present day with power. The modern road where monsters appeared.

‘ And with that power, he plays the game. It’s obvious.’

It was an obvious novel, but it sold quite well.

It was the virtue of depicting the match in a very exciting way. In fact, it was a novel that Park Si-jun also enjoyed reading.

[The door of the Abyss is closed.]

The epilogue wasn’t that great.

Oh Kyung-seok, the main character who closed the door of the Abyss, gains great wealth and fame.

Break away from the original shabby studio and build a building on 1,000 pyeong of land in Seoul’s net worth.

The story of a heroine who had a crush throughout the novel, gave birth to a child, and lived happily for a long time.

[A spring afternoon when life begins to sprout again. Pyeong-seok smiled brighter than anyone else as he watched his beloved daughter running around in the garden.]

That’s how the 300-episode web novel ended.

With such an ending that all the characters are happy.

Park Si-jun took a small breath.

‘This is the last novel needed for realization.’

Park Si-jun waited for the message with anticipation.

[I have read ‘The Return of the 10th Circle Archmage’.][Intellect has increased by 1.4 due to the effect of Reading Reading.]

“What, nothing has changed.”

But nothing changed. The disappointment was as great as expected.

Park Si-jun clicked his tongue heavily.

[I have read enough works. I can implement one of the works I’ve read so far. Please select.][I alone top star, player, regression, circle 10 arch mage is back, SSS level player, only I am a regressor]

Then a different message appeared.

Park Si-joon’s eyes widened.

‘avatar.’

Wouldn’t it be possible to acquire characteristics and skills by implementing it like a swordsman who has been trained for a thousand years?

‘If that’s true, what should I choose?’

Park Si-jun fell into trouble.

Being a top star by myself is a novel in the entertainment industry, so it doesn’t mean much.

Player, Regression and I am the only Regressor The main character handles the sword. Since there is a Samjae sword method, sword-related characteristics are not needed yet.

‘Is the only thing left is the return of the 10th Circle Archmage.’

Magic. Park Si-jun clenched his fist.

How great would it be to be able to wield swords and magic at the same time?

His mind quickly turned to one side.

[Realize the return of the 10th circle archmage.][Novel immersion 8%. The immersion was too low and it was not implemented properly.][Thousands of years of knowledge contained in the dragon’s head was mysterious and infinite. Oh Kyung-seok, who gained that knowledge and heart, was nothing more than a dragon. -10 Circle Archmage is back.]

The long-awaited messages came out, and Park Si-joon’s heart began to beat violently.

[Intellect has increased by 2.6 due to the effect of Reading Reading.][You have acquired the talent, ‘Magic Heart (C+)’.][Tomdog satisfies his cravings and is full. I refuse to read novels for a while.][Time it takes to digest: 19 hours and 20 minutes.]

A dark smile appeared on the corner of Park Si-joon’s lips.

“Hahaha.”

His heart was beating violently.

His ordinary heart was filled with magical energy, and magic began to flow.

He felt a fullness he had never felt before.

[Magic Heart (C+)]

It was the heart of a great man, but it was weakened by an unknown force. The knowledge and magical powers of the great are flowing.

-Effect: Magic power +5%, chanting speed +5%, magic power +10%, magical knowledge.

-Skills: Dissolve, Chain Lightning, Blade Sharp.

It was a characteristic effect.

Park Si-jun, who read the explanation window with a happy heart, was certain of one thing.

‘We need to increase the level of immersion.’

Magical Heart is not a C+-grade trait.

The great person in the description means a dragon.

The fact that it was weakened by an unknown force was due to the low level of immersion.

‘The same goes for the Samjae Swordsmanship.’

Both are clearly higher-grade properties.

The lower the rating is because the level of immersion is low.

If so, just find a way to increase immersion.

‘It may be possible to further strengthen the characteristics.’

Laughter came out of nowhere.

Can you become stronger just by reading a book?

“can do.”

If you have this ability, you can do it.

Player life and training camp life.

And the things that Park Si-joon definitely wanted to do.

You can do it on your own with no background.

“If only this.”

Park Si-jun picked up the reader again.

I was thinking of reading the return of the swordsman who trained for a thousand years and the 10th circle arch mage once more.

‘Let’s read all night long.’

Evening passed, dawn came, until morning again.

The lights in his room did not go out.

* * *

early morning the next day.

Park Si-jun was sitting on the chair in the instructor’s room.

He had stayed up all night to read a novel, so there were dark spots under his eyes.

“…Park Si-jun trainee.”

The instructor in charge across the street, Jung Soo-min.

She looked at him with her eyes mixed with sympathy and pity.

‘How much pain and suffering.’

Does it have such a serious taste?

I automatically felt sorry for myself.

In reality, though, it was completely different.

“Now I have to make a decision, you know?”

There was only one reason why Park Si-jun was called.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Whether to continue training or to give up and return to normalcy, it was because of that.

‘I can’t continue training with my abilities.’

This is what Jung Soo-min said the last time he called him.

Most of the remaining training was dangerous, such as fighting real monsters or running the Abyss.

It is not an easy enough training for a player without a background to complete. So.

‘Give up training and leave the training center.’

Park Si-jun closed his eyes.

It wasn’t because Jung Soo-min had bad feelings for him. It was a word of concern I left because I was worried.

But now it was an unnecessary worry.

“Instructor.”

“Rather than being a dangerous player… ah, yes. What?”

Park Si-jun slowly opened his eyes.

If he had been him on the day of the awakening he would have done what she said.

Because the current world was not easy enough for the player to get through without any background, characteristics, or skills.

But now things are different.

“Training, I will continue.”

“Yeah?”

Jung Soo-min’s eyes widened.

But for a moment, he frowned as if sadly.

“Park Si-Jun trainee. I know it’s a pity, but…”

“There was a training three days later? Was it a monster training?”

“Yeah, leaving before that…”

Park Si-joon shook his head resolutely.

“I’ll do it.”

“Yeah?”

“I can do it, me.”

And he said in a confident voice.

Jung Soo-min had a confident voice that surprised him.

“If I don’t pass the training, I will leave as the instructor said. Give me one chance.”

“Park Si-Jun trainee. But…”

“Instructor. I think I worked harder than anyone else when I was in the training camp. Since I lacked skills compared to other trainees, I studied and practiced while reducing my sleeping time.”

“…I know that.”

Jung Soo-min bit her lip.

Everyone knows that Park Si-joon is a hard worker. I wonder if his nickname is Dokjong?

When he first came in, he was ranked lowest in both writing and practical skills. However, the proof of that was that he achieved the top score in writing with great effort.

“Can you really do it?”

“Yeah, just watch it once.”

“Whoa…”

Jung Soo-min let out a long sigh.

Another instructor ordered him to be expelled.

But he could not expel him so harshly as she had seen his efforts.

At least, if given a chance at least once.

“… good.”

Jung Soo-min reluctantly nodded his head.

“It’s just one last chance. If I pass the training, I’ll convince the other instructors to continue taking the training. But if I don’t pass…”

“I’m going out on my own feet.”

Park Si-joon declared firmly.

he was himself Enough to overflow .

‘It will pass unconditionally.’

If you have this ability, you can do it.

He clenched his fists.
