00288 Escape from physical strength and premature ej*cu!ation! ————————————————– ———————-=
After finishing organizing equipment in the warehouse on the 3rd floor. After defeating Ansol and the flock of baby unicorns that followed us, I and Kim Han-byeol managed to arrive at the temple. To be honest, I am going this time because I have some business to attend to, but Hanbyeol Kim said that the assistant in charge had called her, so coincidentally our schedules overlapped.
After walking slowly and arriving at the temple, we each followed the guidance of the priest and moved to the room with the portal. And now that the new building has closed and left. I was staring at the portal that was shimmering with blue light.
I think of the angel waiting for me inside, and calmly control the reflexively boiling anger.
Of course, angels show a very dedicated attitude when serving as helpers. Even so, no matter what, this time I was in a position to open my hands. I couldn’t come up with an answer for my abilities myself. As such, it was necessary to avoid the attitude of beating the candle with unnecessary emotions.
After taking a deep breath and refining my inner self, I took a deep breath and immediately jumped into the portal.
As I enter the space where the light of the sea sways, an indescribable energy surrounds me. I gave myself over to the pulling energy and closed my eyes, and before I knew it, I had come in. A familiar scene appeared in my blinking vision. He entered the summoning room.
The scenery here always remains the same. As I looked around, I looked forward and saw a familiar rectangular altar. And there will be an angel sitting on the altar.
When I raised my head and gaze, I saw a beautiful angel with transparent wings waving, looking at me. And as always, a playful face and golden, sparkling pink hair… . huh?
‘what?’
Before I could even utter a question, the angel sitting on the altar gently waved his hand.
“Oh, you’re finally here? Hello~.”
“?”
“I was planning on calling you soon, but it worked out well~. nice to meet you! I am your new assistant, Sandalphon… .”
“hey.”
When I interrupted mid-speech, Sandalphon, who had been waving his finger at me, widened his eyes. But then he smiled softly and shrugged his shoulders. When he saw that, he didn’t like it for some reason.
I quickly but calmly analyzed the current situation. The most likely thing is that the assistant was replaced while I was away. That was the most likely because it wasn’t something that was completely out of the question.
After pressing my aching temple a few times, I softly opened my mouth to the angel who was smiling playfully.
“Are you replacing assistants without the user’s consent? “Quickly change back to Seraph.”
“Oh my. Why are you in such a hurry? Don’t be so rude, come here and sit down. This is our first time meeting, so let’s talk. huh?”
“go away.”
“Don’t do that~. I want to be your helper~. And didn’t you hate Seraph? I’m different from that inflexible Seraph. huh?”
“Tell me to f*ck off. Oh, Seraph? I know you’re listening, so come out in 5 seconds. Otherwise, you will never come to the Summoning Room again. do it yourself.”
“Yes.”
As soon as I finished speaking, a brilliant light flashed from the side of the altar where Sandalphon was sitting. The angel who eventually appeared among the group of lights was, as expected, a Seraph. She looked at me with her serene face and then turned her gaze towards Sandalphon. Then she opened her mouth in a voice that sounded triumphant (?).
“First-rank archangel Sandalphon. Unfortunately, the user’s request for restoration has been confirmed. “As promised in advance, you must return to your original position.”
“wait for a sec! Where can I find something like this? “We haven’t even had a proper conversation yet!”
“That’s your situation. Were you not that confident? Sandalphon did not live up to everyone’s expectations.”
“no! It can’t go on like this! hey! hey! wait for a sec! “This is too much!”
Sandalphon tried to resist somehow, but when Seraph lightly waved his hand, he was instantly engulfed in light.
“What is too much? “We are just carrying out the contract as originally promised.”
“… … !”
Sandalphon seemed to say something more, but his voice was barely audible, as if the reverse summons had already been completed. Soon, Sandalphon disappeared in an instant and completely. Seraph stepped onto the altar with expressionless but cheerful (?) steps and lightly touched his buttocks.
“I’m sorry, user Kim Soo-hyun. “It’s been a long time since I last saw you, and I put you through an unpleasant experience.”
Seraph slightly bowed her head and apologized. He was a little embarrassed, but he had a rough idea of why, so he calmly shook his head. In some ways, it could not be said that it was entirely my fault.
“it’s okay. It looks like other angels may have taken issue with my attitude… . Anyway, from next time, don’t feel free to replace it. Maybe it’s the great angels Gabriel or Michael, but who would be like that? .”
“Thank you for saying that. But maybe… . Are you saying that you are willing to change helpers if it is Gabriel and Michael?”
“If I say yes here, will another angel appear?”
“Gabriel is currently waiting.”
“Don’t come. Don’t they have any users in charge?”
“yes. “I will tell you right away.”
Seraph looked much relieved. And he began to busily play with his hands. I don’t know if it was an illusion or an auditory hallucination, but I felt like I heard a faint humming from somewhere.
After some time passed, Seraph looked at me with sacred jade eyes, as if she had finished all the work.
“Honestly, I was surprised that user Kim Soo-hyun came to us first. “I was planning to call you soon, but there was a slight delay due to helper-related issues.”
“ah. “I need your advice on something.”
“Are you saying you need my advice? then… .”
Seraph showed a thoughtful face and then said, “Ah.” He made an expression saying, I quickly looked at her expression. Judging by the way her eyebrows are slightly raised and her lips are opened in a triangular shape, I’m sure she’s going to nag her again. So, I decided to hit the player first.
“You know what… .”
“for a moment. Seraph. “Just shut your mouth for now.”
“I think you know without me saying it. Didn’t I make that clear in the first place? If we continue like this, there will definitely be a problem with our physical strength… .”
“No, I understand. Because I know that too. “You came now because there was a problem.”
Although she made a shocked expression, Seraph barely kept her mouth shut. However, he kept giving me worried looks, as if he was sending out a rapid-fire order to increase his stamina at any moment.
I took out a piece of tobacco from my pocket. And before putting the tobacco in my mouth, I muttered quietly.
“I already know what you’re going to say. “But the reason I came to you is because you are the only one I can get advice on about Hwajeong.”
“… … .”
“If you are really my helper, listen to what I have to say at least once. Don’t just talk about your position for me. You have always been… . Anyway, once. “You can stand in my shoes and think about it for once.”
I almost spat out the words, “I’ve always been like that,” but I could barely swallow them.
As I took a moment to relax and light a candle, I could feel Seraph’s stinging gaze weakening a little.
Cheeik. Chi profit.
“after.”
And the moment a thin line of smoke was exhaled, Seraph’s small voice flew in from the front.
“… Yes.”
“good. “There is no interruption in the middle of the conversation.”
“There is none. great. First, let’s listen closely to what user Kim Soo-hyun says. And I will try my best to put myself in your shoes. But this time, I have no intention of stepping down. No matter what you hear, improving your physical strength will not change.”
“Okay.”
Angels keep their promises unconditionally. Now that I’ve said that, I can say everything I have to say. Although it took a bit of back-talk, I was able to nod my head because I partly agreed with it.
After taking another deep breath of smoke, I slowly began to talk, feeling a little more relaxed.
*
I don’t know what Seraph would think, but my mind was very complicated right now. My concerns regarding my current abilities. And my personal thoughts about it and my future plans.
I want to raise my stamina appropriately and raise other abilities to 101. But Hwajeong takes a hit. However, on the other hand, I cannot let go of my lingering attachment to 101 by investing all in my physical strength. Or, I would like to hang on here a little longer. If you maintain your physical strength in the 80s, you may be able to see the effects of the elixir once more. But now my physical condition was close to a mess. It was like a time bomb that didn’t know when it would explode.
Yes, in the end, Hwajeong was the problem.
Eventually, after finishing the whole story, I looked at Seraph with a question about what was going on.
“I have listened to user Kim Soo-hyun so far. I’m sure I can understand your feelings.”
“okay? “Then I’d like to hear your thoughts.”
“I just said I understood, not that I was convinced. Are you sure you don’t mind?”
“… try.”
“All right. Then user Kim Soo-hyun. What are you talking about? Do you know what your current physical condition is and what the consequences will be if you increase your abilities to 101? No, I know. Listening to what was just said, user Kim Soo-hyun clearly knew. So it’s worse. “Do you even want to see me worry?”
“… … .”
“In the first place, it wasn’t meant to be a blessing. That’s why I stopped you like that, but… .”
Da da da da da da da.
‘I’m an asshole for having high expectations.’
I chewed on the bitter taste rising from deep in my throat and took out another pack of tobacco. Before I knew it, there were more than ten butts lying around me.
As if he had sensed my expression, a weak breathing sound came from the other side.
“User Kim Soo-hyun.”
“huh.”
“As promised, I listened to everything user Kim Soo-hyun said. “Can I speak now?”
“Then what did you say so far…?” . No, no. Yes, try it. Do whatever you want. Tsk.”
“thank you. “Then please look at this.”
Perfect!
When Seraph lightly snapped her fingers, a square graph began to appear in front of her eyes.
“We will implement the body of user Kim Soo-hyun in the graph.”
“This is my physical condition?”
“Yes. “You will probably see that your entire body is filled with red.”
In the air ahead, there was a square graph and a human body formed inside it. I’ve seen this a few times in the first episode, so it’s not that surprising. However, just as Seraph had said, my eyes widened at the fact that everywhere was dyed red.
“I would like to apologize for speaking rashly earlier out of urgency. Let’s start again from the beginning. User Kim Soo-hyun is a prosecutor. It cannot be compared to classes such as wizard or priest. The way the battle itself is fought is very different. In other words, physical strength is very important as a swordsman is a class that directly moves the body. However, as it is now, I will raise other abilities to 101. great. If you raise your health to 90 and never use Hwajeong in the future, you can do that. Then, raise your stamina to 80 and increase your stamina again with the elixir. great. Stop all future expeditions and all battles. Also, focus on recovering your physical strength for at least one year, and at most two years, and if you do not use fire tablets before making the elixir, do so. “I won’t stop you.”
“… … .”
First listen. Seraph looked at me for a moment and then added one more word.
“It may be unclear whether we will be able to make such an elixir again. Anyway, let me think about it from the perspective of user Kim Soo-hyun. But I also have something called the Maginot Line.”
As I listened to Seraph’s words, I was deep in thought. First of all, you can’t not use Hwajeong. I didn’t choose Hwajeong for no reason because of the perks.
After tapping the floor for a while, I asked in a weak voice.
“Is it that serious? really?”
“It’s not a lie. Why would I be so unfair in hindering users from raising their abilities and achieving a higher status? Isn’t there a reason for everything? . I’m telling it like it is. User Kim Soo-hyun. Your body should have already broken down long ago. Even surviving as it is now is like a miracle. Do you remember when you first accepted Hwajeong?”
I remember. Although he cleansed every inch of his body by accepting Hwajeong, he suffered a permanent health downgrade in the aftermath. It’s not even a minus, it’s literally a permanent decrease in stamina. When I thought about that time, a thought suddenly flashed through my head.
“no way… .”
“That’s right. I can guarantee that if you use Hwajeong one more time in the future, something similar will happen. Even if it is not a permanent downgrade, there is a very high possibility that something negative will happen. “Do you really want that?”
“what. So that means we have no choice but to raise it in the end.”
“I never expected that my condition would deteriorate so quickly. No, unless you intentionally abuse Hwajeong… .”
As Seraph complained, a corner of my heart felt prickly. The situation was much more serious than expected. Apparently, the fight with Marvolo served as a catalyst to explode the damage accumulated through abuse at once.
“I would like to see user Kim Soo-hyun in good health again. “As a user, I can understand the greed you mentioned earlier, but I would like to recommend that you pursue safety in the present rather than an uncertain future.”
“hmm… .”
There was no answer. My mind was still complicated, but it was gradually coming together. My opinion is not completely wrong, but there is a difference in degree. Things I had vaguely thought of were slowly becoming concrete as I listened to Seraph’s words.
It was then. Suddenly she heard a fluttering sound coming from the altar, and then she felt a sacred energy coming closer and closer. As I lifted my gaze slightly, I saw a Seraph approaching me, looking at me with sorrowful eyes. She reached out with both hands, cupped her left hand, and placed it gently on her own chest. She then spoke in a voice that was almost pleading.
“I may have sounded a little rude, but thank you for listening to me. “I think I’ve been misunderstanding the user Kim Soo-hyun all along.”
“… … .”
“I’m really happy, but I still want to ask you one more favor. Please increase your stamina. Currently, user Kim Soo-hyun’s body is in a truly dangerous state. It’s like a motor on the verge of exploding. If you don’t increase your stamina now, really… .”
Seraph’s words trailed off. However, I was able to guess the extent of his sincerity when I saw the hand he was holding tightening and pulling me closer. He felt a numbingly warm, soft touch on his left hand, but he was able to come to his senses and pull his hand away.
“User Kim Soo-hyun… .”
“Huyu.”
Although I thought about it a little more, I was finally able to make a decision.
I nodded with a sigh and immediately called up the user information window.
*
[Strength 96(+2)] [Durability 92] [Dexterity 98] [Stamina 90] [Magic Power 96] [Luck 90(+2)]
(The remaining abilities are free abilities, with a total of 6 points.)
‘I would like to raise all remaining abilities through physical strength.’
‘Keep in mind. Even now, it is not a very safe situation. Although I set my stamina to 90, the moment I raise even one other ability to 101 or higher, the burden on my body will increase accordingly.’
‘Of course, it will be difficult to expect a rise due to the elixir in the future. But it’s not completely out of the question. Think about it. Aren’t there achievement rewards and equipment? Of course, it is true that the future is uncertain. Still, didn’t we take care of current safety first?’
‘Anyway, if you can scrape it all together, maybe you can make an extra 5 points. Then, there will be a total of 11 points remaining. If he invests all of it into physical strength, user Kim Soo-hyun will be able to completely escape from the shackles of Hwajeong. Anyway, without having to raise other abilities, user Kim Soo-hyun… .’
After the conversation with Seraph, I returned to Hall Plain through the portal. A priest was waiting outside. While I followed him outside, I couldn’t take my eyes off the user information window.
In the end, I increased my stamina. He decided to take Seraph’s advice and agreed to follow her words and increase her stamina.
Of course, there was not complete agreement. Not everyone’s stamina has been increased, but 6 points remain. Since you never know when or what situation will arise in the future, these 6 points were spare points just in case. Although there was some controversy here, we were able to reach an agreement by saying that we would increase abilities appropriately when necessary.
And doing as Seraph says is not a bad thing. If you can fully use Hwajeong, you will have an ability score of 101 and at the same time, you will have a very powerful weapon.
‘Well, my physical abilities aren’t that great… .’
“Huyu.”
Anyway, I just posted this, and it would be foolish to regret it any longer. And, as Seraph said, if the condition was serious enough to cause a decrease in abilities, increasing physical strength could be seen as a necessary choice.
The effect was clearly felt. My body, which had been heavy from morning until I arrived at the temple, was now much lighter. As such, I was excited to see what my condition would be like tomorrow when I went to sleep today.
Eventually, after passing through all the passages, I went out of the temple, being seen off by the priest. It was the moment when I was about to step on the stairs and go down.
I could see her slim back sitting on the stairs with her buttocks looking out. She must have sensed me coming down, so the woman gently turned her head and made eye contact with me.
The woman’s identity was Kim Han-byeol.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
hello. This is Ro Yujin.
Celebration! Kim Soo-hyun has finally escaped the physical stress! and! Clap clap! Ahaha. In the past, I have left several reviews and reviews while returning to the city, and Seraph was originally scheduled to appear at this time. It was planned to appear as advice on Su-hyeon’s abilities. Of course, I had 6 points left, but I originally planned to leave 6 points. Where it will be used has been decided in advance since the rite of passage. This is a bit of a dramatic plan, so I would appreciate it if you could look forward to it. ^^
P.S. In the garden, there is a work of a broken electric fan that Suhyun drew to commemorate her escape from premature ej*cu!ation. “I no longer have physical strength and premature ej*cu!ation!” It says. thank you! ^^
P.S. We have posted the ＭＥＭＩＩＺＥ cartoon drawn by Javet on the notice board. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude. (Several more episodes will be added in the future.)
『Reripple』
1. Miwolya: Congratulations on first place. I explained it last time and this time, but I’ll explain it further just in case. Kim Soo-hyun is a prosecutor who fights by directly moving his body. There is no problem if your stamina is 90 and your agility is 101 or higher, but if you use fire spirit in that state, it becomes a problem. Hwajeong is expressed through magical power. And magical power has the ability to double all stats. However, (even if you raise your stamina to 90), you cannot ignore the burden on your body just by using Hwajeong, and if you increase other abilities, including agility, to 101 or higher, the burden will be doubled. And you can’t use the trick of not taking the elixir. Then, if your health goes up to 73, you will not be able to take the elixir at all. It is much safer to eat right away and keep the remaining points. And that part is mentioned. 🙂
2. Flute: I was originally going to reveal it at the end of this episode, but it was too long so I cut it. It is scheduled to appear again in the next episode’s subtitle. ^^
3. Pineiro: You probably think you can take on the challenge someday. But that’s not the case now. It’s enough for now, there’s no need to take unnecessary risks. Anyway, you answered correctly regarding physical strength! You are amazing. 😀
4. Pulchocho: I miss the military. Oh, that doesn’t mean I want to go again. ha ha ha. Do your best in the military!
5. Lizad: There are some things that will be resolved soon, and there are others that will take some time. I don’t know about Seraph. haha.
6. Imaginary fruit: No. If you’ve already eaten, it’s game over. However, if you hadn’t taken the elixir, you wouldn’t have seen any effects, right? 🙂
7. Hwang Geol: Instead, aren’t the portions really big these days? lol. It’s really uploaded… .
8. Hongseba: Haha. 101 is much stronger than 100. It has been revealed implicitly until now. However, to that extent. As a swordsman, you must have the stamina to handle it. (With 90 stamina, Soohyun can handle an agility of 101, but Hwajeong is the problem.)
9. [DeepBLue]: That’s why Soohyun felt sorry. Because strange special abilities have been unlocked. But, would I leave Yujeong like that? Yujeong was in a class the other day… ? haha. As a hint, the Twilight Shaman is promoted to Secret Class when she gathers three powers. 🙂
10. Gamjatteot: Right now, Soohyun’s ability level is so high that even 1 million would be enough to reach the level of a superhuman. The leader of the giants is a demigod. The Giant Lord is a demigod in another sense, so it is a bit difficult to define him by his abilities. haha.
Thank you for always reading. Your recommendations and comments are of great help.
