Reversing Life With Legendary Skills!

Chapter 7

“How did the scout leader get my number?”

Jin-woo thought.

But he wasn’t too concerned. Even though he lived as a guide, he still understood how the industry worked. Scouts always wanted to find a new rookie player.

Since they lived off of each other, players and the government, have typically had a cordial relationship. He had no reason to hide his ability; rather, it was more beneficial to display it.

He was already expecting to get noticed by a scouter after frivolously clearing the first dungeon.

It worked as he wanted, although he didn’t expect to be contacted by the leader of the Royal Family Guild.

“This is a little unexpected.”

The Royal Family ranked 7th in the Korean Guild Rankings.

It was a colossal guild; it was close to the top 5 with just its finances alone.

A man approached Jin-woo as he entered the café he had promised.

“Mr. Kang Jin-woo?”

“Yes, are you leader Han Dongjin?”

“Yes. Thank you for coming. Please sit down and let us talk.”

“Yes.”

Team leader Han Dong-jin bought the drink himself.

“I saw the video. You were great? I heard you are only level 56.”

“Oh, I leveled up in that dungeon, and now I am at level 59.”

Jin-woo said with pride.

“Aha-! You are? That is great! You’re going to catch a troll at that level.”

The praise continued until they ended their conversation.

“Wow…I like how it feels”.

“The feeling of someone desperately wanting me.”

“Oh- It was the first time.”

Han Dong-Jin poured strange words without changing his complexion.

“It didn’t feel bad.”

“Well, of course, how will I get offended when I hear compliments?”

However, part of him seemed not that excited.

Was it because he already knows everything?

Among his friends, there was someone who had acquired a rare grade skill. He met him by chance, and he listened to his thoughts while drinking.

‘If I hadn’t been caught by the scout’s praise that day, I’d have been better off.’

His friend had said it with an absolute conviction.

After that, he went through many things.

Jin-woo was experienced enough to know that those who speak good things usually had a hidden agenda.

Han Dong-jin took to the main subject.

“So, in our Royal Family, Kang Jin-woo must be recruited…”

Weing-!

Then Han Dong-jin’s phone rang.

After checking the number, he frowned.

“Can you please excuse me for a moment?”

“Yes.”

Shortly after he got up.

Jin-woo’s phone rang.

It was Sunwoo.

“Uh, Sunwoo, what happened?”

“Brother! It’s awesome!”

“Great!”

-The hunting video on YouTube ranked # 1 in the popular real-time section! We got over 500,000 views!

He calmed an excited Sunwoo and ended the call.

He quickly connected to YouTube and checked the situation.

The number of views of the video was running toward 800,000.

The response was also great!

-tryhard3321: Wow … … OP! What troll can you cut in one slash?]

-Dongmin-chan: CG or not?

– KangMinwoo: Isn’t that a hero-level skill? A high-level player can’t be in that place, right?

-Heimin: It could be his weapons, right?

-Choco Choco Good: No way, it’s a beginner’s longsword that sells for 100,000 won at the weapon item store.

-Cool Wolf: Isn’t that too much?

Just as Han Dong-jin walked back into the room, Jin-woo had received another call from an unknown number.

Han Dong-jin’s expression had become more strenuous.

Maybe the guild came. Jin-woo thought.

“Hmmm, sorry. The company had an emergency call.”

“No, it’s okay.”

“To continue with our conversation, the Royal Family spares no effort to recruit promising players like you, Kang Jin-woo. Because of that, I will guarantee you the best salary”.

“Well, can I put off the answer?”

“Yes? But why? Is there any problem?”.

“Because I started to get in touch from other places, too.”

Han Dong-jin’s face was toppled.

* * *

Jin-woo realized what it meant to be under a spotlight.

Every minute, every second seemed too long.

He received calls from Korea’s top ten guilds, and from guilds that he never heard of. He got invitations from at least a hundred different places in a span of a few days.

‘He has the power of hero rating skills.’

Currently, Jin-woo’s skill was known to be of the hero rating.

Of course, it was natural.

There was no known legendary grade skill in the world yet. So, people had no reason to think that Jin-woo possessed a legendary grade skill. Maybe, it was because it was beyond common sense to have one in the first place.

Jin-woo did not accept an invitation right away. There was no reason to yet.

A week has passed since the video was released.

The Royal Family Guild did not meet him again.

The reason was, of course, to prepare and compose a more worthwhile offer.

“This is an opportunity to reverse my life. If I do not plan appropriately from the first step, everything will be a mess. “

Jin-woo’s first encounter with Han Dong-jin made him anxious. His words would have already swayed him if he did not have a good plan initially.

Although, even if he was contracted at that time, he would have received more than a significant amount.

“I’m holding the sword.”

“Now, it is the right time to swing it.”

Jin-woo picked up the phone and contacted the guild scouts.

Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do.

A group of people sat in the cafe. They had nothing in common in terms of appearance.

Their genders and ages varied.

There was only one thing they had in common, and it was discomfort with each other.

“Where does that fishy smell come from?”

A bald man exhanged words with a woman.

“You have to sit for a year to sell your body.”

“What did you say? You, motherfucker!”

“What a bitch! Want to fight?!”

The two of them shouted at each other.

“Hey! Calm down.”

“Hi-jacking guys speak like gentlemen.”

This time, a woman in her early twenties fought against a middle-aged man.

“Huh, huh, where is that fishy smell coming from?”

“It smells awful.”

They rushed towards each other.

Since they were in the same industry, it was natural to bite each other openly.

There was also Han Dong-jin, the head of the Scout team of the Royal Family Guild.

“What the hell are you doing with so many scouts?”

It was a question of what the other person was thinking.

“Are you going to stick to the ransom competition?”

“I could think so.”

“It is a good idea.”

“I have heard of some sports stars in the past.”

“If it’s a hero-level skill, it’s worth it.”

Hero rated skills.

If dungeon clearing were a sport, it would be like sprinkling a 100-mile fastball in baseball. In soccer, it would be equivalent to having the talents of Ronaldo and Messi.

“We have to build a wall before the kids of a foreign country can attack.”

It was possible since the world of players was not only limited to Korea. Players around the world were also doing business. Of course, guilds also existed abroad, and they were just as eager to find rookie players.

Fortunately, Jin-woo is Korean.

However, foreign competition was now starting to move.

A week has passed since the video was released.

Foreign guild scouts on radar were being detected and begun to move.

Well, it did not matter.

In sports such as baseball and soccer, foreign clubs usually dominated because their funding power was on a different scale.

But that wasn’t the case in the player industry.

Global companies also supported Korea, and they had sufficient funds even when compared to foreign guilds.

Jing-!

Then the door of the cafe opened and Jin-woo came in.

“Oh, sorry. Am I a little late?”

Jin-woo bowed his head with a nice smile as he sat on the empty seat.

“He’s young.”

“… a little silly.”

“His body is smaller than what I saw in the video.’”

“This guy has hero skills.”

Scouts were evaluating Jin-woo.

“Thank you for meeting today.”

“Why don’t you say hello and go straight to the main subject?”

Said the middle-aged man, who was in a hurry.

The others agreed.

It was the same with Jin-woo.

“Then, let’s move on to the main subject immediately.”

Jin-woo’s authority fell.

The middle-aged man said in a firm tone as if waiting for it.

“I’m Han Sung-tae of Scouting Team of Runnulus.”

Runnulus.

It ranked eighth among the top ten Korean guilds. Their funding power was slightly lower, but they had good teamwork.

“We will give 10 billion won as a down payment and 3 billion annually as an annual salary.”

“Why are you going first with so little?”

“What?!”

“In our Goryeo Guild, 15 billion won as down payment! I will give you 4 billion in annual salary. In addition, we will maximize your profits by renting out top-level items and providing sponsorship contracts”.

It was the beginning.

Even if Jin-woo did not say anything, he knows what it meant, the scouts started to compete with each other.

The annual salary, which began at 3 billion, has surpassed 10 billion. The down payment was now close to 50 billion won. There was also a gradual increase in additional benefits.

The atmosphere was overheating.

The organizations other than the top ten guilds could not even speak at all.

Han Dong-jin looked at the situation then looked at Jin-woo.

“I thought he was an innocent guy, but he was a fox.”

“He knew his situation well and knew how to use it.”

Some scouts, including Han Dong-jin, have not said a word yet.

The reason was simple.

Because it wasn’t time to yet.

Precise timing was required to give maximum impact. That was the proper way to dominate the competition. It was also a way to make a definite impression on the opponent.

“You are ripe.”

Han Dong-jin decided that the time had come.

When he put his hand on the table, he was about to open his mouth.

“I will tell you what I said.”

Jin-woo spoke first.

“I think you misunderstood.”

“The reason I brought you all here today is to correct one misinformation.”

Han Dong-jin felt anxious.

“Wrong information?”

Han Dong-jin asked Jin-woo.

“My skill is not a hero rating.”

Jin-woo said.
