Random other skills
In fact, if you look at it strictly, 『Random guitar skill acquisition』 could be said to be a truly reasonable choice.
Although it costs as much as 500,000 points to use it once, the effect of the selected skill is applied to all avatars including the main body at the same time, which can be said to be incredibly efficient.
‘Okay, one new skill costs less than 50,000, how can I tolerate this? It’s actually a loss if you don’t do this!’
In fact, didn’t you use the “Xenoglossy” you obtained through it to be quite useful?
Of course, the “Strongness” that was selected just before was lost as soon as it was acquired as it was absorbed into higher-level skills such as Harley’s “Ultimate Evolutionary Life Form,” Heinz II’s “Blood Race,” and Horus’ “Gold Dragon.”
It could not be seen as a completely meaningless loss as it served as a nutrient for further developing the ability.
The problem is that the gap with the top skills was so large that there was no significant change.
Still, considering the amount of karma points that were accumulating in real time at this very moment, it wasn’t a bad choice.
‘Okay, so it’s not my fault. as it were···.’
You could say it was close to a kind of accident.
After completing the self-suggestion, I quietly looked again at the message that appeared before my eyes.
《Force random possibilities to bloom. Acquire the skill “Underwater Breathing.”》
“Underwater breathing”.
A survival skill that prevents drowning due to environmental factors such as water.
If we were to analyze the mechanism more accurately through the knowledge imprinted in our minds, we could say that it was the ability to forcibly extract oxygen from water using skin respiration.
“ah···.”
Without realizing it, I quietly closed my eyes and raised my head to the ceiling.
Clearly, the utility itself wasn’t that bad.
Not only will the risk of drowning in the environment disappear in the future, but the water attribute affinity contained therein will also be helpful in some way.
However, if you ask whether it is a skill useful enough to be considered a winner… it is also true that there is nothing to say.
‘Hans, the undead, was out of the question in the first place.’
No, other transcendental avatars are already far past the point where they are bound by such restrictions.
As a bonus, the same goes for Horus, a dragon who lives on mana as an energy source.
‘Then only the main body, myself, Hubert the merchant, Howard the dwarf, Hesperon of the imperial palace, and finally Hugo of the Kang Hwan world are left…’
With that alone, the expectation for skill had already jumped from less than 50,000 to 100,000.
Additionally, the problem was that the other avatars were not in an environment that specifically required “underwater breathing.”
‘···The owner of a very large scale, a craftsman locked in his workshop and immersed in work, and a guest of the imperial palace, one of the first on the continent to be safe, drowned… Well, I won’t have to worry about slipping and falling in the bathtub from now on.’
Wouldn’t the one with the highest chance of being used be Hugo, who remains alone in the Kanghwan world?
It was an ability that could be quite helpful in dealing with enemy forces active around rivers and lakes.
‘Even though Harris has already made a mess there.’
What happened to the area dominated by the enemy after the typhoon passed?
I thought back to the leaders of Dongdongsip8chae and Yangtze Riverschae, which I could now vaguely remember, and then shook my head heavily.
In fact, I didn’t even care about the enemy leader buried in a corner of my memory.
There was another important issue right now.
‘This is really the last time. Just one more time, really.’
The previous record went from plus or minus zero to minus.
If this happens, there’s really no way to back out!
‘Yes, anyway, there are still more than 5 million points left. ···If you use it once or twice, it will be restored quickly.’
In addition, the settlement for expelling Beoncheonhoeju had not yet been completely completed.
As has been the case so far, the impact of the aftermath of this incident will be calculated separately, and additional karma will be steadily accumulated.
So now—.
‘Let’s get just one useful thing and then let’s get out of the way.’
It would be okay to ‘invest’ this much in yourself.
I stared at 『Random Guitar Skill Acquisition』 with strangely feverish eyes.
To be honest.
There was nothing to see now.
***
Some time after that.
“Hmm. “I almost lost my self-control.”
Fortunately, Han Seong-hyun was able to come to his senses before he lost all his points.
No, it wasn’t just at that level, he was confident that he had gotten out of this quite early.
That’s right… Including the first time where he got “Water Breathing”, the total number of draws was only four!
‘Cancer, this is very good.’
Of course, the memory of repeating ‘the real last time’ in his head over and over again had already completely disappeared.
“But it’s not that bad.”
That wasn’t just empty words.
As he softly muttered to himself and stretched out his hand slightly, his fingertips disappeared in the air as if they had been processed through CGI.
Sssssss—
A haze swirled in the air around the place where even my wrist disappeared.
And when he pulled his arm back again, the part of his body that had disappeared was back in perfect condition.
In his hand, he was holding a ballpoint pen that wasn’t there before.
Needless to say, it was an abnormal phenomenon caused by subspace interference.
‘Wow, I never thought there would actually be an inventory.’
He threw the ballpoint pen he had been fiddling with in his hand on the table and burst into laughter.
The official name of this skill obtained in the second attempt was “Subspace Storage,” and for convenience, the nickname was “Inventory.”
It is now possible to literally implement the ability to manipulate subspace as a skill.
However, even though he had acquired this very useful and seemingly amazing ability, he was not satisfied with it.
‘Actually, I haven’t felt any inconvenience even without inventory until now.’
The combination of “Avatar Cloud,” which allows avatars to exchange goods with each other, and magic tools based on abundant capital, has already excellently replaced subspace.
So much so that even this great skill I acquired this time was just accepted as a nice-to-have.
‘But thanks to you, I think it will be quite comfortable. If each avatar can use subspace directly through this, there will be more space in the future.’
In the end, the overall evaluation of “Small Space Storage” is a bit positive.
However, his greed was too great to be satisfied just by that level.
‘It’s good you didn’t give up there. Because what I picked next was real.’
Seonghyun Han smiled happily and nodded, recalling a situation that had occurred just moments before.
Out of subtle feelings about the previous results, I tried drawing again, and the result of the random drawing came out as ‘really Jjjinjjinmak’.
《Force random possibilities to bloom. Acquire the skill “Limit Break”.》
The third skill following “Underwater Breathing” and “Subspace Storage”, “Limit Breakthrough.”
It was a type of self-reinforcing buff and awakening device that could be used by all avatars regardless of the user.
Regardless of whether the level is high or low, it is a secret tool that allows you to overcome your own limitations, at least temporarily.
Although it cannot be abused carelessly due to the severe aftereffects, it was a lifesaving ability that would help in some way in situations when it was absolutely necessary.
“Good, good. “It’s great.”
In an atmosphere where everything seemed like it would end like that.
The reason he was fully satisfied with the balance of profit and loss returning to surplus, he reached out to ‘real jjinjjinjjinmak’… It wasn’t for any special reason.
‘No matter how you look at this, it’s an upward trend, right? Somehow I feel good today? Is this really the last minute?’

I just couldn’t control my boiling greed.
And he, possessed by Hantangju’s gambler, excitedly rode the rising market…
“Hmm, I guess we’ll end here.”
As if trying to balance things out, I came to my senses after receiving another ambiguous skill as the next skill.
That was the background that allowed him to escape from the clutches of the ‘random draw’ immediately after drawing the fourth skill.
And after mastering the many newly acquired abilities to some extent, he glared at his karma values again as if to double check.
『Holding Karma – 3,641,965』
A karma shame that caused the front seat to collapse.
Although it is still a huge amount that most people cannot imagine, it cannot help but seem like it is insufficient compared to a little while ago when the number was well over 5 million.
“······.”
Fortunately, it was better than completely wasting it, but looking back, I felt like I was so absorbed that I burned more karma than I thought.
Even if it costs 500,000 for one use, if it is repeated four times, it is a whopping 2 million!
‘There’s nothing we can do about what happened in the past. The remaining karma is about 3.6 million… Still, if there’s this much left, it’s not that bad.’
Even in the short time he was concentrating on this work, time in this world was passing quickly, and his karma naturally increased with the passage of time.
At this rate, it probably won’t take long to surpass 5 million and reach 6 million again.
‘but.’
If there was a way to shorten that time, it made sense to make the most of it.
It’s even more so when you think about the Buncheonhoe, which by now has permeated every corner of the Earth and is operating in secret, and its leader, who was forcibly kicked out of Outerica and is at the peak of his anger.
“After all, I need to earn more karma. “No matter how much I earn, it’s not enough.”
With a deep sigh, lamentation flowed out.
In Outerica, a traditional garden, karma was already being extracted close to the limit.
Since the aftermath of the ‘foreign media invasion incident’ was in progress, it was difficult to do anything more here.
‘First of all, you’ll need to catch your breath to some extent. Well then, shall we take a look at some other places in the meantime? I think it’s time to sow seeds…’
With that thought, his consciousness turned not to Outerica, where most of the entities were concentrated, but to a single, isolated entity.
Hugo, a pioneer, is sent to a foreign country to cultivate a new vegetable garden.
As Kang Hwan-gye, he spends time alone under the pseudonym Ha Seung-hoon.
***
The Zhuge Dynasty of Yongzhong Mountain, Hubei Province.
The mountain on which they were based was not very high, but the buildings, including the old pavilion, had an incomprehensible majesty that overwhelms those who see it.
It was the authority that emanated from the symbolism of being the home of a power that ruled the area, and it was also due to the influence of concentrated energy from the addition of martial arts and techniques from the basic design stage.
There was once a time when a world-class expert whose identity was unknown suddenly appeared and destroyed all the fortresses near Sega, but now that a considerable amount of time has passed since then, no trace of him from that time has been found.
Rather, the current home of Zhuge Emperor was transformed into a stronger fortress than before, capable of thoroughly analyzing the cause of the collapse and responding to it.
“Oh, this. If done well, it can be useful, right?”
And a private training hall located inside the fortress-like fortress.
Hugo, the young man holding the sword in the center, frowned and slowly stroked his chin.
As he was also an avatar, of course he was sharing the newly added skills in real time.
“Underwater breathing,” which can be helpful when fighting near the water; “Subspace storage,” which can make everyday life easier; and “Limit Breaking,” which can be a lifesaver in extreme situations.
And the fourth skill I gained…
‘「Imitation」. Maybe this isn’t as bad as you think? It may be different in Outerica, but in the Ganghwa world, it seems to be more useful than other skills.’
“Imitate” was a skill that allowed you to imitate an opponent’s technique that you had seen.
If you only listen to that point, it may sound like a fraudulent ability, but if it were natural, it would be natural… but it was not as easy as it sounds because there were all kinds of conditions attached.
‘To imitate someone else’s magic, you not only have to be a wizard, but you also need to be able to understand and use that magic.’
Each skill was a special ability that bordered on the realm of supernatural abilities, but this “mimicry” did not allow the user to overcome their limitations.
In the first place, the techniques of different races with different body structures were unthinkable, and it was impossible to imitate other mysteries without being based on practice.
‘In the end, you can only imitate the skills of others who have similar conditions to your own.’
In that sense, the situation here in the Ganghwan world was different from Outerica, where various races and mysteries were mixed.
There was so little news that it was questionable whether extraterrestrial races even existed in the first place, and the category of ‘martial arts’ was the absolute mainstay of the mysteries of this world.
It goes without saying that even Zhuge Emperor, who is said to be the best in fields such as fighting techniques and martial arts, regarded martial arts as a necessity, not an option.
‘in other words···.’
Under the premise that he has an understanding of martial arts.
‘All the martial arts in this world…’
He meant that he could now steal something just by looking at it.
