#13. Yu Dam-deok becomes a lesser god
“A lesser god?!”
Unexpected content. I was embarrassed. Regardless of my feelings, new messages kept coming… .
[New abilities are unlocked!]
[The ‘Power’ system has been unlocked!]
[The ‘Symbol’ system has been unlocked!]
[The ‘title’ system… .]
Profiles also began to be updated according to the emerging messages.
A strange feeling of excitement came over me.
“Is this a level up or something… ?”
[You may be given a new name.]
[Choose the name of God.]
Numerous name candidates appeared in the translucent window.
The god of dishes, the god of water bottles, the god of chairs, the god of garden nets, the god of fly swatter… Etc.
A sigh and laughter leaked out.
I guess it was a mistake to expect a cool name like ‘Thor, God of Thunder’, even if just for a moment.
‘Okay, anyway, I’m still a low-level god, right?’
good night.
In any case, becoming a low-level god from the lowest-level god means that there is a good chance of becoming a middle-level or high-level god in the future.
‘I’ll be happy to choose.’
Wouldn’t even a small name be better than no name?
Also, you never know.
Maybe you’ll find something decent among these insignificant names?
I calmly look through the names… .
“Mr. Yu Dam-deok, please tell me one thing!”
“Since when on earth have you been able to go through the gate?!”
Several microphones were pushed through transparent message windows.
Numerous reporters, researchers, and hunter association officials visible through the window.
For some reason, a picture similar to the one in the labyrinth dungeon was being produced.
The scale seems to be a bit bigger than then, but… .
‘this. ‘I don’t really want to deal with it right now.’
It seemed difficult to get out of here, let alone choose a name, so I agreed to a brief interview.
I was able to pass through the gate with a rare skill I obtained by chance, and I was able to destroy the gate with the core obtained by killing the goblin leader inside the gate.
‘There’s no reason to lie.’
Of course, the reporters tried to continue asking questions after that, but Damdeok resolutely cut them off.
“ah. “The interview will end here.”
I walked slowly.
The reporters split up like the miracle of Moses.
Unlike the labyrinth dungeon, there was no one standing in Damdeok’s way.
* * *
“Hmm, good. “This would be best, right?”
A message appears before my eyes.
[Would you like to choose ‘sword’ in the name of God?]
A satisfied smile naturally formed.
‘Look, I thought there would be a good name.’
It was a gem of a name that I found after searching through a pile of names for nearly an hour.
God of swords.
Geomshin (劍神) for short.
What a great name this is.
“It’s strange. “Why hasn’t anyone chosen this good thing before?”
– will?
Baek Seol, who was watching from above his shoulder, also tilts his head.
“That’s right, it’s possible that there is a sword spirit… .”
But when I think about it again, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a sword god appearing in a famous myth or tale.
Even if we say swordsman, they are only referring to a ‘human’ who is excellent at swordsmanship.
Well, what does it matter?
From now on, I just have to follow the path of swordsmanship.
“Okay, Kazuah!”
[The name ‘Sword (劍)’ is given to the lesser god Yu Dam-deok.]
Faaah!
The message coalesces into a circle and turns into a bright bead of light.
It was an instant.
A perfectly condensed bead of light slid into the center of my chest.
“Ugh, what!”
It was a mystical experience.
Heavy beads of light penetrate every corner of the body and deliver warmth.
As the speed of digging became faster, my whole body became hot as if my blood was boiling.
“Ugh.”
After a long time of not being able to breathe properly due to the extreme heat that felt like it was going to boil over at any moment, when I finally felt like my entire body had become a complete ball of light… .
[congratulations! Damdeok Yu! You have been crowned the Sword God!]
[An unknown goddess blesses you!]
Sweat poured down my face.
My body was drenched in sweat, as if I had been to a sauna.
“Wow, it’s hard to get a name.”
The heat that had been swelling in my body had disappeared before I knew it.
Instead, an interesting choice lay before my eyes.
[Choose the initial power of the Sword God!]
[Strengthening leg strength: Strengthening leg strength to perform fast walking techniques.]
[Strengthening arm strength: Strengthening arm strength to swing a heavy sword.]
[Enhancement of body vision: Strengthening of body vision to closely identify enemy movements.]
‘warrant!!’
I burst out laughing without realizing it.
“Is it finally time for me to use the power of God?”
I looked around at the powers with satisfaction.
It was such an exciting moment that I could feel my heart pounding.
“Hmm, nothing that dramatic, but… .”
Perhaps because it was an early stage of power, there was no power that was jaw-dropping.
However, it certainly seemed more useful than an ordinary ‘skill’.
“Pretty good, oh! “Isn’t the performance better from here?”
As I looked down, I began to see some pretty powerful powers at the bottom.
[Sword energy (劍氣): Surrounding the sword with divine power, a state where it can cut through anything.]
*Cannot be equipped, lacks spiritual power*
[Gangche (强體): Surrounding the body with divine power, a state where it can block anything.]
*Cannot be equipped, lacks spiritual power*
I couldn’t equip it yet because I didn’t have enough strength… .
“You lack spiritual strength again. “How far should I raise my physical strength?”
I said it sarcastically for no reason, but it felt good.
“But anyway, it’s something you can get someday.”
If it is given every time your spiritual power increases, you will be able to collect powers much faster than buying them at a high price from the gods’ store.
“Then the first power is… .”
There is one thing I noticed earlier.
[Would you like to choose Intuition as your initial power?]
[Intuition]
Description: In addition to the five basic senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, a sixth sense is opened.
It is a much better power than simple passive powers such as strength strengthening or leg strength strengthening.
In a situation where time was running out, the use of attack skills was not the only solution.
‘If you raise your sixth sense, your combat coordination will improve accordingly.’
It will definitely help you a lot.
After selecting the initial power and looking at the profile, a somewhat divine visual appeared.
[Yoo Dam-deok (human)]
[Occupation: Lesser God]
[Symbol: Sword God]
[Holy Power: 10120]
[Power: Intuition]
[Talent: Swordsmanship talent (SS), martial arts talent (SS)]
[Skills: Combat concentration (S), Dwarf hammer (B), boxing (E+), dagger technique (E), instantaneous charge (F), counterattack (F), horizontal cut (F)…]
As I was proudly looking at the profile, I heard a knock on the door.
smart!
… Who is it?
This is the branch building of the Sangun Guild.
Namgung Do-eok, who was informed of the gate incident, instructed the guild members to treat Damdeok with the highest respect.
I wanted to look at the profile in a quiet place as soon as possible, so I came because I had no reason to refuse… .
‘But no one is here to visit me?’
In fact, Namgung Do-eok, who invited me, had gone to raid an underwater dungeon near Okinawa.
“who are you?”
As soon as I opened the door to the dorm, what I saw was a woman.
He appears to be about 170 cm tall and has black hair that reaches his waist.
Not only the well-defined facial features, but also the transparent, white jade-like skin.
The woman had the face of a peerless beauty, but I felt a strange sense of foreignness in her empty eyes that seemed to transcend everything.
‘Wait a minute, this person… .’
It’s a familiar face.
A person often seen on TV.
‘You’re the next guild leader of the Sangun Guild, right?’
The woman in front of me was a celebrity.
Anyone in Korea would know that… .
‘Why is the address rate here?’
address rate.
She stands tall as the next guild leader of the Sangun Guild at the age of 27, the youngest.
With his outstanding appearance and outstanding fighting skills, he has consistently appeared on broadcasts as well as international events, so he must be one of the stars that everyone in Korea knows.
‘that’s interesting. Seeing that address rate right before my eyes… .’
In the old days, I would have looked for a pen and paper first to get an autograph, but maybe it was because I had been in and out of the world of the gods.
Honestly, I wasn’t very impressed.
“Hey, what’s going on?”
“The guild leader told me to tell you this.”
What the address gave was a plastic card.
“What is this?”
“This is an exclusive pass for the Sangun Guild. “You can use all the amenities and training centers within the guild.”
He didn’t say why he was giving this to me.
I already knew that Namgung Do-eok was interested in me after the Labyrinth Dungeon.
‘When I return from Okinawa, will they at least offer me a scouting offer? .’
Whatever it was, there was nothing wrong with being able to use a prominent guild building in the country for free.
I put the card in my pocket.
Ju Ju-yul was staring at that figure.
‘What, why aren’t you going?’
I thought he was going to go since I gave him the card, but Joo-yul was just standing in the hallway without saying a word.
Out of awkwardness, I finished first.
“thank you. Well then… .”
As she was about to close the door to her dorm, something jumped into her arms! She flew up.
“W-what is it?”
– will!
It was snow white.
Jump through the gap in the door that is about to close and fall right into Juso-yul’s arms… .
“Hey you!”
I was startled and tried to pull it away, but it was already so deep in my arms that I couldn’t touch it.
“Oh, sorry. He’s not really like this… .”
Although he was taken aback by the sudden situation, his address was surprisingly calm.
“It’s okay, the summoned animal is so cute. “Can I have a snack?”
“yes? Ah, yes… .”
Why a snack all of a sudden?
Anyway, Baek Seol is a spirit being, so he burns food as soon as he eats it.
This means that it doesn’t matter if you eat anything.
But strangely enough, I felt uncomfortable about this situation.
‘That’s a snack?’
What Jooyul took out was a large seed.
Snow White is not some kind of hamster… .
Giving the seeds to the fox was strange, but what was even stranger was Snow White’s attitude.
‘It’s so good to die, it’s so good to die.’
Baekseol was very upset, rubbing and purring in Jusoyul’s arms.
‘Last time, the hospital staff didn’t even bat an eye.’
Is it possible for the temperature difference to be this big?
To be honest, it seemed like he had known Joo-yul longer than me.
‘It’s strange, it’s strange… .’
This is truly a reasonable doubt.
“Hey, are those seeds a snack…?” ?”
“Oh, yes. It’s like a nutritional supplement. “Aren’t nuts good for your health?”
Soo-yul smiled calmly and stroked Baek-seol.
Suddenly! Crack!
A sound like chewing on stone echoed in the quiet hallway.
It’s good for your body, right?
But for some reason I couldn’t say anything.
The atmosphere was strange.
Jooyul gently put Baekseol down after she finished eating the seeds.
“It was nice to meet you today. “See you next time, Snow White.”
After a short greeting, Joo-yul left without any regrets.
widely!
The cabin door closed, and a murmur escaped.
“What, that girl… .”
I felt like I was possessed by something.
“Hey, why are you acting like you’re not supposed to…” uh?”
It was when I was scolding Baek Seol, who was lying on the bed for no reason.
Suddenly, goosebumps appeared all over my body.
‘wait for a sec… .’
What Jo Soo-yul just said.
“It was nice to meet you today. “See you again next time, Snow White.”
Did I ever tell you Baek Seol’s name?
Jump up!
I hurriedly opened the door and went out, but there was already no one in the hallway.
“What are you talking about?” .”
With perfect timing, a message floated across the empty hallway.
[The saved part-time job announcement has been modified!]
“A part-time job you’ve saved?”

A different arrogant tone from previous announcements. Moreover, the boss’s words at the bottom were overwhelming.
