bug
‘what? How?’
The absurd situation where he came to receive the goods and his identity was discovered.
Yooseong chose to run away without hesitation in a major accident that suddenly erupted without any plausible probability or any sign.
Yooseong flew to the roof of the building next to him through the terrace he remembered when he entered, and he had no choice but to stop without taking a few steps.
A desolate city, dyed in black and white, with no one in sight.
“This···.”
“Shadow world. It’s hard to get in, but even harder to get out. There’s no better place to have a conversation. Nice to meet you, roommate. Ah, my nickname is Super Ant. You’re not going to say you don’t know, are you?”
When I turned around, I saw Kang Chang-seok with a smirk on his face.
Yooseong decided to stick out his flippers.
“You said you were Kang Chang-seok, right? What are you doing right now?”
“Are you going to pretend you don’t know? I’m sorry, but you’ve already been caught? What are you wearing on your back? What is that? Are there any other people in Korea other than users who would get and carry such things? Besides, seeing as they ran away without looking back, they’re hit in the corner of the room. But, where are the flippers!”
“These were just things I got to hunt monsters, and I didn’t run away, I wanted to go there because I had something urgent. And users? Please get me out of here.”
Kang Chang-seok frowned at Yoo-sung’s appearance, which was a mix of embarrassment and anxiety, as if anyone could see him caught up in an unfair incident.
If it was a world before monsters appeared, it would be an excuse not to listen to, but in the current world, it is not possible to blindly accuse it of being a user, although it can be suspected that they carry such things.
One in a thousand, one in ten thousand, there was a possibility that he wasn’t really a user.
“…you don’t know what the real room limit is?”
“I really don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Wait a minute. If you misunderstood a real person, I will formally apologize and make appropriate compensation.”
Kang Chang-seok, who stepped back, raised one hand and said.
“Search area limited to Seoul, Korea. A unknown identity, B Yuseong Han. Start search with the above conditions.”
After a while, a dry voice came from the air.
– Search complete. There is no corresponding person.
“·······.”
“·······.”
momentary silence.
Among the two, who exchanged glances without saying anything, like gunmen in westerns, it was Kang Chang-seok who moved first.
“Cheonra!”
An intangible net launched from Kang Chang-seok’s fingertips.
At a speed beyond imagination, Meteor couldn’t even dare to escape and had no choice but to be tied to the net.
Seruk.
“···uh?”
The nets fell on the floor, like clothes that didn’t fit.
The moment he heard Kang Chang-seok’s voice, he reflexively moved his body.
‘It’s a blow.’
It closes the distance with the enemy with a flashlight boasting explosive speed, and uses the muscle strength raised by strengthening magic power to pierce the rock of type 16 of the dark moon.
The strongest attack you can do right now.
Tung!
Kang Chang-seok’s body bounced back as the blow to the abdomen was struck, but Yoo-seong’s complexion was not good.
Repulsive force as if hitting a balloon.
Realizing that the attack had failed, the moment he approached to launch a follow-up, a powerful force field was generated from Kang Chang-seok’s body, pushing Yoo-seong’s body back.
“shit.”
Yooseong, who vaguely knew that the blow he had just had was the only chance he had been given, grabbed the handle of the ax that was hanging from his waist and prepared for the counterattack that would soon come.
However, Kang Chang-seok’s reaction was unexpected.
“…what is your wisdom level?”
“Is there any reason I need to give my information to the enemy?”
“Ah, little! Even when we first met, what kind of paranoia do you have? Why are you being so needlessly hostile to the same user?”
“Suddenly kidnapped to a place called the shadow world or something and attacked, but then it doesn’t look hostile?”
“That’s because you keep trying to pretend you’re not a user and run away… Ha, that’s it.”
right!
The moment Kang Chang-seok snapped his fingers, the black-and-white world was dyed in natural colors, and people who had disappeared began to appear.
“Can you believe this? I don’t mean to harm you, I just want to have a conversation. I don’t know what other guys do, but at least I don’t mean to harm you.”
“What are we talking about?”
“that···.”
Kang Chang-seok, who was about to say something, suddenly shut his mouth and stared at him, and Yoo-sung swallowed dryly.
He doesn’t seem to have any hostility right now, but he couldn’t help but be nervous as he was facing a strong man who could take his own life if he wanted to.
“Let me ask you one thing before that. How much wisdom do you have right now?”
“I hate to tell you.”
“How are you going to tell me? Can I give you some money?”
“Am I rich?”
“ha.”
Kang Chang-seok let out a long sigh and shook his head.
“Originally, I was going to nag you a little and give you a gift when I meet you, but I changed my mind. It seems like I’m doing well on my own, just like the god of war said, but I think trying to help will only have a negative effect. Instead, let’s ask one thing. Those things, the quest. Are you going to use it to clear it?”
“·······.”
Yuseong didn’t answer, but Kang Chang-seok nodded and continued talking.
“If you use things from Earth or another world, clearing the quest will be easy, but keep the level moderately. You know that if the usage rate of skills or artifacts from another dimension is too high, the clear rank will drop, right? If it gets worse, various penalties will follow.”
“I know that.”
“At least you know the level of karma recovery. Besides that, be careful because there are a lot of other things, such as granting forced quests, deleting skills and artifacts, disqualifying users, and withholding karma that you own that wasn’t obtained through quests.”
“·······.”
“Also, it won’t be easy, but try to achieve a high rank clear by achieving as much as possible the goal suggested by the quest. I’m addicted to convenience, so I don’t care about the clear rank, I eat raw quests, and then I’m going to have a hard time later. If possible, a skill or artifact from another dimension. Don’t use it, and if you do use it, it will be as good as it gets. Okay?”
‘I’m still clearing with a high rank?’
Yooseong, barely suppressing the words that rose to his throat, spoke with a grave expression.
“Can I ask you one question?”
“However much.”
“What is the level of civilization on Earth?”
Kang Chang-seok’s eyes narrowed when he heard Yuseong’s unexpected question.
“It seems like you haven’t been a user for a while, but you’ve already figured out that far, right?”
“Is there something to do to find out? If you do some quests, you’ll know right away.”
“…Yes. I need to know right away.”
Kang Chang-seok, who had a bitter expression on his face, said while scratching his head.
“Earth’s civilization rating is 0.76.”
“It’s lower than I thought.”
“Just because the civilization level is high doesn’t mean you can just use artifacts. Even if they’re made in the same world, cold weapons and missiles aren’t equal. That’s about it, right? Do you have any other questions?”
“no.”
“Then take this.”
“···Business card?”
“If there is something that is hard to find or something bothers you, call me on that number. I’ll take care of it for you.”
“·······.”
Yuseong, who was looking at the business card and Kang Chang-seok alternately, threw himself off the building in an instant and disappeared among the crowd.
“If you do some quests, you’ll know right away.”
Kang Chang-seok, who took the bottle out of the air, smiled bitterly and blew it.
The idiot who didn’t know that immediate thing for a long time was himself.
The user’s ability to bring abilities and things from another world.
However, there were not many users who fully explored and strengthened that tremendous ability.
In a way, it was natural.
The rewards of the quest are certainly attractive, but you must enter the body of a person from a world completely different from Earth, navigate extreme situations, suffer terrible physical and mental pain, or even lose your life.
How many ordinary people living on the 21st century earth would endure such pain and experiences and still want to become stronger?
People who have desperate reasons to be really strong like the Three Rivers.
Unless of course they had a special purpose like the trio, they would of course focus on money-worthy abilities or things rather than strength, and they would try to bring them by carrying out quests very occasionally.
“It shouldn’t have been.”
The users who were treated as one of the three weaklings, including himself, were of that type.

Just as the clairvoyant who penetrated the contents of the case Meteor was holding was a skill he brought to use in gambling, his skills and equipment were specialized for various grabs rather than fighting.
If you look at the current strength, you and meteor can be expressed as the difference between the sun and fireflies.
However, if you look only at the potential, growth potential, and ability to perform quests as a user, the meteor is the sun and you become the firefly.
Even though he had only been a user for two months, even though he was not specialized in combat, he was competing on an equal footing with someone who had become a user much earlier.
It was a truly unbelievable rate of growth.
“…But, no matter how much it is, isn’t the growth rate a bit, no, very strange?”
Kang Chang-seok, who summoned the net that was thrown toward the meteor, confirmed the information.
It was to check if he had misunderstood the options of the equipment.
However, no matter how many times he looked, the options matched what he knew.
“Is it correct to bind a target with a lower Wisdom than the user?”
Kang Chang-seok, who was worried, concluded that Yoo-seong had an item that nullified the restraining effect.
No matter how much it was, it was because it did not make sense that the wisdom level of the meteor passed over itself when there was time to become a user.
“How much is my wisdom?”
Kang Chang-seok’s wisdom level was 715.
* * *
Yuseong, who was wary of tracking while wandering around the city for a while, returned home with a embarrassed expression only after the sun had set.
‘You let go too easily? Am I wrong?’
He treated other users while keeping in mind how he would think and act if he were in the position of other users, but it seemed that he was overly vigilant.
“If I were a pioneer and had a latecomer with the ability to compete with me, I would have tried to get rid of it or put the shackles on at any cost.”
After thinking for a while, Yooseong decided that Kang Chang-seok was in an overwhelmingly high position, so he did not feel the need to check himself, who was far behind.
“Be strong.”
Name: Han Yuseong
Occupation: User
Level: 45
Title: The One Who Makes the Impossible Possible
Strength: 149
Dexterity: 149
Wisdom: 757
Spirit: 766
Stamina: 149
mana: 103
Possessed Skills: Forbidden Knowledge (??), Mystic Eye of Truth (C+), Sura Sensitivity (C), Moonlight 16 Meals (C), Four Spiritual Expeditions (C), Flash (D), Ending Pain (D) ·····.
Strength, agility, and stamina increased by 50 points from 99 by taking Jerome’s strengthening treatment skill, and mana increased by 4 points while practicing the Vermund technique.
The problem was the newly added mental stat and wisdom that jumped overnight.
“…Wouldn’t it be treated like using a bug and get a penalty?”
The information about the mysteries and truths of the universe contained in the sound of a gigantic being heard right before returning to Earth was not purchased at the Karma Shop, but remained in the skill window in the name of forbidden knowledge, boasting of its presence.
Forbidden knowledge was not a normal skill.
The rating is displayed as a question mark, and when the explanation is displayed, only broken letters that cannot be interpreted even with Babel, the original language, continue endlessly.
Yoosung concluded that this was some kind of buggy play.
“It’s normal for skills not obtained by paying proper karma to be erased by the Deus Ex Machina program… but the shock of the things contained in that echo was so strong that even the program couldn’t completely offset it.”
A terrible shock, as if information were forcibly inserted into the brain and soul.
The Deus Ex Machina program tried its best, but it couldn’t completely get rid of it, and the remaining incomplete information turned into a skill called Forbidden Knowledge.
You could call it a blessing in disguise.
If the forbidden knowledge had remained in its perfect form, it would have died or gone mad, unable to withstand the malice and content contained in it, as it did when it heard its cry.
Because it was not a skill obtained through a proper process, the contents were empty or twisted here and there, so there was no way to use it properly, but with just that hole-filled and incomplete skill, a new stat called spirit was created, and the wisdom level went up tremendously.
Although I couldn’t directly feel what had changed, such as strength, agility, or magical power, wouldn’t it be better to have a high stat rather than a low one anyway?
‘All preparations are over.’
After checking the status window, Yooseong swallowed dry saliva and put on goggles.
I’m not sure I can break it, but at least I did my best to prepare it as far as possible.
“shall we start.”
