Chapter 193 – 193. Map of Ascension to Gwangmyeong
193. Gwangmyeong Ascension Map
I threw the dove I took out from the map of the ascension of Gwangmyeong.
In the original story, the protagonist eats pigeons and admires them for being delicious. It was because the meat quality was superior to that of ordinary pigeons because they were in the Gwangmyeong Ascension Island.
‘If you eat pigeons, you’ll get sick.’
No matter how delicious you say, a pigeon was a pigeon. I didn’t feel like eating at all. I wouldn’t know if it was a chicken.
‘Now that I have obtained the Sword of Ascension, I must test it. What to put first….’
I was troubled.
The Sword of Light and Ascension can hold anything that can be held in one’s hand. Even a tree taller than my body can fit into this small picture if I can hold it in my hand.
‘…… Thirsty.’
I was also somewhat tired from running around fighting with Hasok. The cool water was desperate.
I took a water bottle from my inventory. As I was about to put it in my mouth, I saw the painting of the Ascension of Gwangmyeong.
‘It’ll be strengthened quickly with just water.’
I brought a bucket of water to the center of the Ascension Map, toward the light coming down from the sky, and rubbed it lightly. Then the water bottle and hand went inside. I removed my hand when the water bottle was completely inside.
In the center of Gwangmyeong Ascension, there was a picture of a water bottle. The light of Gwangmyeong Ascension began to move and cover the water bottle.
‘I can’t take out things in this state.’
You have to wait for things to harden up. When the light disappears, the reinforcement is complete.
‘How many minutes will it take? It might take more than 10 minutes because of the plastic.’
Only one sword of ascension can be inserted at a time. You can also put something in the box. However, doing so reduces the effectiveness of reinforcement. It takes a lot of time and the results are very disappointing.
Also, the number of times you can reinforce is limited to once. Items that have already been strengthened cannot be put back into the Sky of Ascension.
‘The effect improves in proportion to the strengthening time.’
Even if you put the same thing, it’s not constant. It may take more time. Spending more time is a good thing. Because it means things change for the better.
Also, if you can insert the sword of light and ascension, you can enhance anything. Either water or fire.
‘I can’t put a living thing in instead.’
To be precise, it’s true that you can’t put your soul into it. In the case of the pigeon, it was already dead, so it went inside.
‘The reason why the pigeon was inside…. Either the person who used the sword of light ascension before put it in to make the pigeon taste better, or the pigeon flew and died after colliding with the sword of light ascension, and the corpse accidentally went inside. It must be one of the two.’
I like to think of it as the latter.
Because such a great treasure should not be known.
‘The latter would be correct. Even in the original work, no one knows except for the main character who obtained the Sword of Light and Ascension.’
I thought while looking at the map of Gwangmyeong Ascension.
Originally, my plan was to return to reality with the Sword of Ascension.
‘If you bring an object with special power into reality, its effect will decrease. The same goes for this Ascension Road.’
Therefore, if you want to fully use the power of the Ascension Sword, you must use it in this world. It is to bring real things into this world and strengthen them.
‘There are things that take days, months, or years to strengthen…. It’s right to strengthen it here.’
In this world, the higher the realm, the longer the lifespan. There are things that prolong life.
‘Above all, things that would take months to strengthen in real life can be finished in an instant here. Because I have an automatic progression.’
When considering several things. When using the Ascension Sword, it is better to use it in this world.
“Five.”
The light surrounding the water bottle in the painting disappeared. Reinforcement is over. It took roughly 10 minutes.
I put my hand into the sword of Gwangmyeong Ascension and took out a water bottle. It looks the same as before putting it in. Nothing seemed to change.
I opened the water jug and started to gulp the water.
“Geuuuuu!”
The taste of the water was awesome. It feels like living water seeping into every part of your body.
‘It would be great if I could boil ramen with this water or make it into a drink.’
The water tank was quickly emptied. I gave the plastic water bottle a boost. The water bottle was crushed with a crackling sound.
‘The strength is better than a normal water bucket.’
It was expected, so it wasn’t surprising.
‘The main character in the original novel uses herbs to strengthen them in the beginning.’
There is a low probability that if you put herbs in the sword of light ascension, they can become herbs or elixirs that contain spiritual energy. Even so, it’s a low-level elixir.
If you put rotten or withered herbs into it, it becomes a quality herb. If you put a lower quality elixir, a better elixir comes out.
‘The main character does herbal medicine in the beginning.’
It is the work of strengthening the medicinal herbs collected from the mountain every day through the Gwangmyeong Ascension Sword. He eats the herbs that have become elixirs, and sells the herbs that do not, to make money.
‘Do I have to do such troublesome things every day? Damn it.’
Stealing herbs and elixirs is much more convenient and efficient.
‘First of all, let’s strengthen Hwaryeonbi. It’s the weapon I use the most and cherish the most.’
The painting of Hwaryeonbi was included in the painting of the ascension of Gwangmyeong. Hwaryeonbido appeared in the picture. A halo of light began to surround Hwaryeonbi Island.
It will take some time. Hwaryeonbido is not an ordinary item.
‘Few days? No It may take several months.’
I rolled up the sword of Ascension of Gwangmyeong and put it in my bosom. It is not included in the inventory. It was clear that the reinforcement would not proceed because time stood still inside the inventory.
‘In case you don’t know, I’ll try an experiment later…. Let’s go to the subordinate’s hut and look for something.’
I was bored to be locked up for 2 hours because of the Jinbeop.
When I went to the cabin, I couldn’t help but be disappointed.
‘Like a beggar, most of them are garbage.’
At least, there were a few items that had the spirit of reciprocity. It seems to be something used for witchcraft.
‘Let’s take it for now. If I sell it, I’ll make some money.’
There was nothing wrong with having a lot of money.
I packed my things and left the cabin. After reading the novel for the rest of the time, I went back to Meteor Checkpoint.
•••
Returning to Meteor Checkpoint, I lived a normal life.
During the day, he practiced the silver sword with Seong Ji-gon, and in the afternoon, he violated female servants. I wanted to go to Hunan City outside the Meteor Checkpoint and have fun, but my probation was not over yet.
‘When will the strengthening of Hwaryeonbido end?’
5 days passed. It actually took less than 5 hours because it was automatic, but I was a little nervous about not being able to use the weapon I always used.
I looked at Gwangmyeong Ascension. The halo of light surrounding Hwaryeonbido shows no sign of disappearing.
‘… How many months does it really take?’
It was the moment I shook my head and tried to go again.
A notification window popped up in front of me like a computer game.
『A special mission has been created!』
『You are currently in the 5th rank. You need to get strong fast to save the sky, but you’re not thinking about getting stronger. That’s why I suggest you.”
『Go up to the 6th level of standing within 100 days.』
『Success Reward: 3 rigid bodies』
『Rigid Body Dan
It makes your body stronger. Physical abilities increase when taken.』
My eyes widened as I checked the notification window.
Rigid group!
It’s a name I’ve never heard of, but looking at the effect, it must have been an elixir.
‘Climb to 6th level in 100 days? It’s not easy.’
This world is divided into stages in detail for each realm.
1st gear to 10th gear.
Stage 1 refers to the time when you have entered the realm. Conversely, 10th Dan is a stage in which one reaches the end of a stage and prepares for the next stage.
‘It’s a bit ambiguous to divide the realm into groups.’
From the outside, I don’t know. Some mistake 1st gear for 2nd gear, and 5th gear for 6th gear.
‘That’s why they are sometimes called the first stage, the middle stage, and the upper stage.’
A high-level master can tell exactly how many steps he has by grabbing the opponent’s body and checking. Dan is, after all, a division based on the energy inside the body.
‘The standing ceremony is the state of building energy in the body. Chulji (出志) is the state of sending out the energy of the body. It is said that five energies are the state of creating an inner layer in the body and controlling the five energies.’
There are many ways to distinguish, but you can instinctively feel where the realm is. That’s the case with me.
‘If I want to go up to 6th dan… I need to build up more energy.’
Ki. In other words, since you are confident in handling mana, you need to accumulate more mana in your body.
‘The answer is a miracle drug.’
I have the Gwangmyeong Ascension Chart, so the burden is small, but the Gwangmyeong Ascension Chart is currently being used to strengthen the Hwaryeon Bido.
‘It’s impossible to take out the Hwaryeonbido before the reinforcement is over…. Should I make preparations for when the reinforcement of Hwaryeonbido is over?’
In Meteor Checkpoint, there are several areas that can only be entered with the permission of the Moon Master.
One of them is Biyakwon (祕藥苑).
Biyakwon (祕藥苑) is a place where medicinal herbs and elixirs are grown.
In order to become strong in this world, herbs and elixirs are essential. Even if you hold the sword purely and swing it, the limit is clear. Therefore, it is essential that a munpa with a certain scale has a separate place to grow herbs and elixirs.
‘The main character in the original work was all about stealing a few elixirs from the Elixir Garden when the Meteor Checkpoint was ruined. I’m different. They’re stealing all the herbs from the Elixir.’
Can do.
Unlike the original protagonist, I have an inventory.
‘Heh…. Once you get the Elixir, you immediately strengthen the Light Ascension Sword. Looking forward to that day….’
•••
Probation is over
I didn’t go straight to the city to play. If you play profligately without a plan, there is a high probability that you will be dragged in again and put on probation.
‘I have to pretend to be sincere.’
Reduce the frequency of going to the city. Five days a week I work hard and the other two days I play in the city. At this level, the gate master and the elders of Meteor Inspection would understand enough.
I practiced with Sung Ji-gon to pretend to be sincere. Seong Ji-gon is a diligent guy recognized by everyone in the school. My reputation improves just by being with you.
‘The adults of the Munpa don’t know that this guy fucks female servants every day. Besides, I have a hobby of cutting and collecting pubic hair from girls I pick for the first time.’
These days he goes to the city with me and fucks women.
‘Sung Ji-gon. This bastard is a pervert.’
Strangely, Seong Ji-gon preferred older commoner women more than young and pretty courtesans. He likes pretty girls, as he is a man, of course.
One day, I asked Seong Ji-gon.
“Why do you hate prostitutes? Isn’t she pretty?”
“It’s not that I hate it. Just what…. Do I have to say that other men are less attractive because they think I am a woman they can hug if they pay money….”
“At the same time, the married woman with her husband committed it well.”
“That and this are a little different.”
“If you look at the girls you prefer, most of them are old.”
“I like mature women. Young women are not very attractive. And her virgins are bleeding. Blood is on me… Eww… , I hate just thinking about it.”
Seong Ji-gon likes pretty women, but he doesn’t bother with women. A woman who matches her own taste will fuck even if she is ugly.
“A woman’s pussy is more important than her appearance. And a little loose is better for fucking than a tight one.”
“Weird guy.”
“When I see you, Eugene, you’re weirder.”
It was a good thing for me. Because we have different tastes, we rarely fight over women. In particular, when a woman is a virgin, she handed it over to me unconditionally.
Also, when he violated a woman, Seong Ji-gon yielded the woman to me before he did.
“You want me to fuck you first? I’m good, but why?”
“Eugene, you don’t fuck me after I fuck you.”
“Because she’s not so pretty that I want to fuck her even though she has someone else’s semen in it.”
“And when Eugene sees you raping a woman… Somehow I get excited too.”
100% sure. This bastard must have been a pervert.
And tonight.
Seongjigon and I went down to the city. We got a room in a suitable inn and ate alcohol and food until nightfall. And at night, I went to the guest room and put on a mask.
Eating alcohol and food in an inn was a kind of alibi. I gave up alcohol and drank water. I’m going to do a riot because if I get drunk, an accident can happen.
“Yujin. Where are you going today?”
“Where were you last week?”
“You went to the farmhouse on the outskirts of town.”
“Ah. The daughter of the house had a soft pussy. Today, let’s go to the general manager’s house.”
I haven’t forgotten how I was put on probation because of the Half Silver Association.
