121 – 2. Old Summoner (68)
#121
I want to stay like this forever, but I had to move slowly.
It’s because one of the tasks to be done has been completed, but there are still mountains of work left to do.
“Whoa…”
As I gave strength to my stomach and raised my body as if a corpse had jumped up, the hardened muscles loosened and a clatter resounded naturally. I got up from my seat while repeating tension and relaxation in a pleasant drowsiness.
After taking a break for a while, my body, which had been filthy and exhausted, quickly recovered.
No matter how much [Subdued]’S effect is maximally received, recovery wasn’t as fast as before. In other words, it means that he is benefiting from his newly acquired skill.
The number of new summons is also good, but it’s because you need to get to know me first so you can properly set the direction for the future. I immediately opened the closed status window and decided to check out the new skills.
Let’s go down one by one from the top and check.
The first thing that caught my eye was the job, not the skill.
“It has changed.”
What used to be a [Researcher] Has become a [Investigator]. I don’t know what the difference is, but it must have changed because there was a reason for it to change.
All the skills created from the [Researcher] Were integrated and became a skill called [Book of Investigation].
In addition to the effects of previous skills, the ability to automatically collect and interpret information has been added.
I thought I could create a search engine that would rival any encyclopedia just by making a decision and skimming through the information on the device.
Judging from the similarity of the names, I wonder if this guy can sprout his ego just like the [Book of Summoning] Or [Book of Combination] If done well. Then, the birth of a secretary who is not envious of real artificial intelligence AI.
Moreover, one of the parts filled with ■ on the main job side has been reduced.
This is good news. It is like discovering a possibility that might solve a problem that has been frustrating because there is no way to solve it.
However, if one decreases, another one is created, so next to the [Luck] Ability, there is a new stat. That is also the ability of broken letters.
The mountain beyond the mountain is probably referring to this situation.
It is the pass that sighs. Let’s move on to the most important skill.
As explained above, [Book of Investigation] Is a skill created by combining [Observation] And [Deconstruction] Skills in addition to [Record] And [Speed Reading] Skills of the existing sub-job [Researcher].
It is not completely reborn as a combination, but it is well fused in a way that can make use of the strengths and specialties of each skill, so you can use it as you have used it so far without any sense of incongruity.
Rather, the parts that I should have coordinated have been merged into one skill, so it’s no different than the burden being reduced.
Next is [Patience].
The dictionary word is ‘spirit to accomplish any difficult task’.
This is a combination of [Charisma] And [Focus on Combat], As well as [Endurance] And [Metal Attack Resistance].
Since the combined skill is a skill, the effect obtained is not just spirit, but an effect that can add presence to magic power. In addition, the aura itself had the basic effect of encouraging physical and mental fatigue.
It was all thanks to this skill that my body’s recovery was quicker than I thought. I think this skill will be useful in the future, so let’s use it often to raise the level.
The following is the unique skill part that I think the most skills have been added to.
Hey, [Subduer] Is the guy from the beginning, so I skipped over it and clicked on the [Battle King] Right next to it to check the detailed description of the skill.
+
[Name: Battle King] [Lv: 5]
[Category: Skill]
[Description: This is destiny! It is the proof of those who stand at the top. This is an honor! It is the crown of the one who stands at the pinnacle.
Show me. And prove it. Defeat all rebellious opponents and create a victor’s path. The road you have passed is the grave of your enemies. It must be the splendid royal road drawn by the king of battle.
Go ahead. And get it.]
+
Too King. It was a skill with an arrogant name, but its efficacy was clear.
Basically, an overwhelming correction is added to all actions that are judged as ‘combat’, and you can use any weapon as easily as your own hands and feet.
Correction here literally means the success of the action.
In other words, as long as this skill works normally, I can directly express the ideal ‘battle’ I draw with my body.
What has been added is the overall weapon skills and the title [Transformation Material].
I checked that the title I was wearing had changed, but it had disappeared altogether.
It is certain that [Converting Material] Was incorporated into this skill, considering that the ‘getting stronger with every swing’ effect, which is assumed to be slightly altered from the effect previously possessed by [Converting Material], Is located in the [Battle King] Skill. Do.
Now that I can get one more effect from the title, looking at the results alone, I can see it as a benefit.
Next is [The Harvester]. As with [Battle King], Press the skill to check the description.
+
[Name: Harvester] [Lv: 2]
[Category: Skill]
[Description: Take it. Equilibrate. So catch up
The only time everything bows its head is when you arrive. Calmly play your hand and let them in.
No bondage can stop you, so who dares to stop you?
If you seek mercy, please pray that you can die peacefully.]

[Battle King] Also had a lot of skills added, but if it was strong in terms of numbers, [Harvester] Had a lot of numbers, but the quality was much better.
First of all, [Sadism] And [Torture] Were added, which is not an exaggeration to say that my main skills are my main skills. In addition, [Spiritual Eye], [Inspiration], And [Spiritual Power] Obtained at the same time as opening the secret book were also added with [Engraving].

Above all, what was added to this skill was [Doteron’s Masterpiece – Black], Which can be said to be the core of my equipment, and [Arsang’s Agony], Which is the cause of this turning point and the cause of acquiring a skill related to spirits.
In fact, it’s no different than a skill with all my strength added.
The tattoos on the wrist are all merged with the tattoo on the side.
This tattoo, which extends all the way to the pelvis, is basically in the shape of a skull, and the shimmering shadows, like spread ink, cover the skull so that at first glance, you might mistake it for the figure of a god of death.
Looking at the addition of thorn vines as if wrapping around it, it was clearly influenced by [Doteron’s Masterpiece – Black].
If [Battle King] Or [Subdued] Is based on the body, then [Reaper] Is based on my soul.
Maybe that’s why, thanks to the power of the combined skills, the nature of my magic has changed a lot.
In the past, my magic power was ordinary magic power with only a faint aura of fire, but now my magic power has the nature of craft, which is optimal for making something.
The shadow, or darkness, occupies the most attribute base within it, and then fire occupies the part related to pain and the soul.
As a result, if you look only at my magical properties, the black fire will be complete.
If you increase the density of darkness here, you can create various things with the same feeling as when you used [Doteron’s Masterpiece – Black] Before, and you can add hardness and sharpness by adding magic power.
Because the equipment is not made in one step, but instead of being made by directly converting my magic power, a more delicate implementation was possible, and furthermore, there were no subtle penalties such as the quicker implementation of shadows for armor.
On the contrary, there is a feeling that the aggression has become too thick now. You can think of adjusting the addition and subtraction as my future task.
In addition to the power inherent in my magical power, the [Harvester] Skill itself has a passive ability to learn the soul or soul fragment of the target.
The degree of acquisition seems to be judged by how close the subject is to death, but I think it is difficult to control this as well.
Other things to keep an eye on is the effect of [Engraving].
To put it simply, based on my magical power, I can engrave one of my powers like a tattoo and give it to the target semi-permanently.
The image itself feels like an all-purpose version of [Magician], So I haven’t experimented with it yet, but I thought it would be possible to create something superior to [Magician] If I set my mind to it.
Furthermore, the reverse was also possible.
It seemed like it would be possible to mass-produce a single-use weapon that was intentionally worse than [Magician] But close to its sub-concept.
While neither of them greatly changed my existing fighting style, the changes were certainly present.
Somehow, the original traces of [Arsang’s agony] Almost disappeared, but I didn’t care.
If I continue to wield this power, I’m sure I’ll be able to create something based on the soul I’ve acquired.
“This is the end of the skill.”
The end was in sight. The only thing left is the skill [Reacher] Obtained after the status window changed.
Judging by the name, it’s probably a title you can get by reaching a certain point.
What’s more important is the benefit you can get by wearing this rather than the acquisition path.
If this doesn’t have any effect, you should change it to a more effective title as soon as possible so that it can definitely be called an advantage.
I immediately checked the information by pressing the [Reacher] In the [Title] Column.
+
[Name: Reacher] [Rating: Unique] [Classification: Title]
[Description: A title given to those who prove the value of existence and are able to contain their own images in magic. It is also a proof given to those who can overcome the limits of their species.
Once you hold it, you naturally gain awe from those who have a lower level than the wearer. When equipped, the power of the image is applied to all actions.]
+
“…Hmm.”
Not bad. However, compared to the value of the name Unique, it can be seen as somewhat ambiguous. At first, I had no idea what the word “Image” Meant.
I know the dictionary meaning. Write it as an image, correct it as a mirror that reflects the mind, and read it as an image.
Thoughts evoked by the heart. That’s why it’s an image.
The problem is that I have no realization that I have achieved it. All I did was make a balance and pay the price for it.
I mean, I endured and endured with evil, and then just fainted halfway and woke up.
There was a time when I read a novel, and usually this kind of imagery is related to some kind of enlightenment. But I don’t have anything like that.
Nevertheless, the system acknowledges that it has ‘reached’ it.
There was a feeling that something was caught. It’s embarrassing, but I can’t say anything because I’m still enjoying the effect itself.
Just because the skills have been integrated right away doesn’t mean that the previous usage has disappeared. However, based on stronger skills, there is no need to insist on previous fights that were weak.
No, maintaining the status quo with a higher power would be wasteful. Even though you have the strength to go further, to rot is the extreme of indolence.
In my current position, such extravagance is unforgivable. When that happens, it will be the day the game board of this goddamn world ends.
After moving the mana, the shadow naturally settled into the flow.
The shape and intensity of the shadow, freely changing according to my will, was like an unknown creature wriggling in the dark.
Aww!
I sighed as I clenched my fists to blur the shadows that had risen from my hands. I still don’t even know what my strength is.
When you first acquire a skill, brief information about that skill is imprinted in your mind. But none of these had anything like that. Rather, there is a feeling that even the things that existed before have completely disappeared.
What about the sense of difference when using skills?
The way to use skills in this world is simple. Just by thinking about it, the body moves first in moderation and suggests the way.
After that, based on that feeling, there was a feeling of putting effort and time into completely changing it into one’s own.
It was a kind of guide, and at the same time a teacher.
I don’t know about other people, but at least it was like that to me.
He had a very tricky mental illness called distrust of human beings, and he couldn’t trust even the information he got because he couldn’t trust people.
The sensuous feeling given by the skill was like the only lifeline that existed to me.
Of course, it was only in the beginning, but as I went into the later stages, the proportion of moving freely increased, but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t have the virtue of that sense.
Rather, it should be seen that he was heavily dependent on him without realizing it.
But now there is no such teacher or help. In order to know this, I have to wake up on my own, without anyone else’s help.
That’s right, because this is now my strength and at the same time it represents myself.
There is nothing more foolish than leaving your own career to someone else. Even if you can get a little advice on writing a cover letter, no one volunteers to write for you.
Even if you wrote it in ghostwriting in the first place, only the shell of your name remains as your own.
Because there are strangers who have not been deceived, even if you do not know the name for a day or two, if the meeting is repeated several times, the feeling of difference will become impossible to hide in words.
It’s sure to take an incredible amount of time and effort.
My emotions will also be consumed. Already, just thinking about the process is enough to let out a sigh.
…I still have to do it. What can I do?
I wanted to take a break on the weekend after a long time, but it seemed impossible.
If you want to, do your best to produce the best results.
Arouses mana throughout the body. As [Doteron’s Masterpiece – Black] Disappears, the scattered shadows quickly build up and settle on my body in the form of clothes.
A plain black coat with no decorations or glitz.
What previously reflected my opinion and included someone else’s taste is now built solely on my own will.
I laughed bitterly at that fact and added an appropriate accessory.
What was positioned as a form that only pursued practicality, at first glance, became the same form as a long military uniform. Should I say that a spoonful of fantasy was added to it?
I will become a fusion military uniform.
It is unavoidable that the weight keeps leaning towards the previous life, perhaps because the proportion of living in the previous life is still greater. Time will figure this out too.
Just for the sake of diversity, it seemed necessary to know a little about armor.
Since the Shirogane Cooperative is a place that also manufactures equipment, it didn’t seem bad to pick up a blade and go learn it someday.
I want to check the condition of Ichiro Shirogane, the head of the Shirogane Guild.
For now, this is enough.
“…Let’s put the title on it for now.”
I don’t have anything else to put on, and I have to keep it on and use it. Wouldn’t you like to get used to this damn image?
As I cleared all the status windows in front of me, I saw a clean frozen world and goblins frozen in it like statues.
There are exactly 30 of them, as if they are surrounding me. It was about one village level.
In the meantime, seeing a guy covered in black cloth and a guy holding a stone ax made of bones with a body a little bigger than the others, could it be that the low-level goblin found me and accompanied a number of people who could not know it?
Thinking that far, I remembered one thing I had forgotten.
“Ah.”
That’s right. It was inside the Goblin Dungeon.
I was so engrossed in self-help that I didn’t even know they were coming.
…Well, there was such a thing because I believed in the summons in the first place, but I didn’t even feel a sense of danger because they were so small.
‘That’s how strong it is.’
Hasn’t even been half a year yet. Still, I was able to grow up to this point.
Should I be happy about this, or should I feel disillusioned and pathetic towards the people of this world who are like idiots who can’t even do it when I can do it this far.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
I just thought it would be good for my mental health to think that I was a little special.
When you actually see that scene and think like this, it’s probably right that it’s ‘special’ enough. No, should I say ‘special’ in this case?
Saaa…
As the wind picked up, the chilly air around me brushed my cheeks roughly.
From noble mtl dot com
If you look at it, it looks like it’s just slightly frosted at dawn on a cold day, but it’s not just frost, it’s a kind of bizarre phenomenon caused by the souls of objects being affected by a very dark climate.
It must be the result of Shizu, the main culprit of that cold, constantly wandering around and scattering her evil thoughts.
Those goblins must have properly experienced the idiom, ‘It’s cold to the bone.’ The price, of course, is to fall into a sleep from which you can never wake up.
Duduk, pop!
I relieved my sore throat from concentrating on the system window for too long, and immediately aroused my magic.
Then, naturally, with a heavy feeling in my hand, a gorgeous book with gold embroidery and decorations in a black leather cover was placed.
Now it is a [Summoning Book] That can be taken out without having to call its name. The guy unfolded at will, turned the page, and then began to write blood-red letters.
[Right?]
Looking at this alone, it looks like a cursed book that is terrifying, but in reality it is a preparation for summoning a summoned beast.
I responded by generating magical energy. There must have been materials around. This time, I plan to use another [Book of Combination] Function.
“I think there was a cartoon like this before…”
It must have been so popular that it was also released as a game. By mixing completely different objects, a new object is extracted.
With a young mind at the time, I mixed up the monsters while looking for a combination method with only one hope that a stronger individual would come out.
At that time, I was crazy about fusions, dinosaurs, and robots, and the game satisfied the needs of children to the extent that they overflowed.
Of course, no med scientist would have been as crazy as today’s grown-up eyes.
With empty eyes, he only looks at success and clicks his mouse.
Remembering the images of the monsters that had been changed and bred in order to break through the 0.5% Chance of success, I felt a sudden chill.
No, actually, there is a guy called a total set of ghosts around me openly walking around, so isn’t it just my mood?
“… Hey, stop now. Because Hive and Haze are enough for boundaries. You are waiting.”
Huh oh oh…
I sighed at Shizu for no reason, and with a sigh, I silenced the guy who was wailing as if it was unfair by handing over my mana.
“Whoa, let’s start now.”
[Ready complete!!]
Cheer up!!!
As if in response to my words, the [Book of Summoning] Fluttered and turned the book over, and the [Book of Combination] Naturally appeared next to it and started waiting.
