All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 104

After the ravine’s reward settlement was finished.

Shin Hyeok ended his broadcast.

“Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”

-Ah, my world has gone dark…

-Just turn yourself off.

-Sob sob, the host is ending the broadcast! What’s the point of living anymore!

-Don’t go far.

-Shin bye~

-Meaning Shin Hyeok bye~

-If?!you?!!hit?!!your?!!head?!!the?!!broadcast?!turns?!on?!immediately?!@#!

-That was a total pro tip. Can I start by hitting your head first?

The viewers were disappointed, but since there wasn’t much more to broadcast and he had decided to stream daily for a while, they let Shin Hyeok go.

Actually, there wasn’t really anything to let go or not.

What could they do if Shin Hyeok ended his broadcast?

Nothing.

So they couldn’t stop him from ending the broadcast, and chose to say farewell before things got ugly.

After ending the broadcast and being alone, Shin Hyeok looked around at the quiet surroundings and took out the Death Spirit Pill from his inventory.

“I should show it to Hyo-rin before eating it. If I eat it without showing her, she might ‘Lu Bu’ me.”

The Death Spirit Pill was a dark blackish pill that looked quite unappetizing.

But if you knew its true identity was a legendary elixir, even passing dogs would roll their eyes back and come running.

Of course, since there was Hyo-rin who was scarier than all of them, Shin Hyeok took the Death Spirit Pill and headed to Hyo-rin’s workshop.

“Dad’s here? I watched the broadcast. That’s the legendary elixir you got this time, right?”

“…You watch my broadcast too?”

“If I became your daughter but didn’t watch dad’s broadcast, I’d be an unfilial daughter. Now, hand it over.”

“Wouldn’t robbing the elixir that dad worked his bones off to get be more unfilial?”

“Hmm, you won’t give it? Really?”

“I’ll give it to you, so put down that flask.”

Hyo-rin welcomed Shin Hyeok warmly.

No, to be precise, she welcomed not Shin Hyeok but the Death Spirit Pill in Shin Hyeok’s hand.

Since it seemed like something in her hand was bubbling and she might smack the back of his head with the flask if he didn’t hand it over, Shin Hyeok quietly offered the Death Spirit Pill to Hyo-rin.

“Hehe, dad’s the best!”

“It seems like ‘who gave the Death Spirit Pill’ got muted in between, but that’s just my imagination, right?”

“Just your imagination. Where else would you find such a filial daughter like me.”

“…Right.”

Hyo-rin, who said thanks but whose eyes had long since left Shin Hyeok, took the Death Spirit Pill and returned to her spot, using all sorts of tools to analyze it while letting out creepy giggles.

“Scary, so scary.”

Even a mad scientist filled with madness would just become a scientist who laughs a lot when standing before Hyo-rin.

While Shin Hyeok was shaking his head at that sight.

“Done. You can take it back.”

“Already? Isn’t that too fast?”

“I saw everything I needed to see. What I want anyway isn’t the components of this elixir but just the technology that went into making it, so I didn’t need to look deeply.”

“Really? Was it helpful?”

“Definitely! The elixirs given by the system are certainly different from elixirs made by players. If the system side is factory-made, the player side feels handmade?”

“Usually the latter is better, isn’t it?”

“Dad. Do you prefer things made in cutting-edge automated factories, or things made stitch by stitch in cottage industries?”

“…Ah.”

“Right. Usually the former is better. The latter mostly gets beaten by factory-made stuff. But there are handmade items that beat factory-made ones, and people call those luxury goods.”

Having extracted everything she needed, Hyo-rin hummed and returned the Death Spirit Pill.

Perhaps because she had succeeded in roughly stealing the system’s technology contained in the Death Spirit Pill, she looked very happy.

“Wait a little. I’ll mass-produce luxury goods like factory products.”

“What I have now is sufficient enough… I’ll look forward to it.”

“Oh, since you’re here, take some potions. You used some recently so you’re running low on stock, right? I made these exclusively for dad, so the effects will be better.”

“…This is how you become a daughter fool. Hyo-rin, you’re the best!”

When Hyo-rin generously added potions made exclusively for him, Shin Hyeok could feel his heart warming.

Of course-

“I’m short on research funds lately, and there are materials I want to buy…”

“Rejected.”

“Ahhh! Why! It was such a heartwarming atmosphere! Wasn’t it the kind of atmosphere where dad sheds tears and shouts ‘Do whatever my daughter wants!’?”

“If you’re saying that, it means you’ve already spent all the allocated funds plus the funds you secretly siphoned off, so of course not!”

“Deer antler grass! Star wind calling flower! Milky Way grass! Buy them! Buy them! Buy themmm!”

“…Ah, my head.”

The touching moment was brief.

Watching Hyo-rin lying on the ground doing windmills and throwing a tantrum gave Shin Hyeok a headache, so he just stuffed the potions prepared in one corner of the workshop into his inventory and made an emergency escape from the workshop.

It was pain he had never felt even when facing Diamond players.

Shin Hyeok, who once again realized why child-rearing is difficult and parents are great, returned to the All Mighty Guild.

The reason Shin Hyeok came to the All Mighty Guild, which had finished construction after gathering ministers from various countries and holding the Dotteokee Market, wasn’t anything special.

“I should use the cultivation room.”

It was because the cultivation room built with expensive money was at the All Mighty Guild.

Cultivation room.

A place that used powerful mana concentration arrays to gather atmospheric mana and create artificial spiritual veins, where absorbing elixirs greatly increased efficiency, so most guilds had guild-exclusive cultivation rooms.

Cultivation rooms were such important facilities that they even existed in player-exclusive gymnasiums and sparring arenas.

Shin Hyeok knew this well, and since he had Hyo-rin as an inexhaustible elixir supply source, he literally threw money around to build a cultivation room to maximize that efficiency.

Since it was an important facility not just for himself but also for his guild members, it wasn’t something to skimp on money for.

‘I’ll have to recruit players from other countries later, so a good cultivation room is essential.’

Player training facilities were handled by All-Mighty Gym under Shin-woo, elixirs by Paracelsus under Hyo-rin, and equipment by Sinwha Workshop under Sejin.

The All Mighty Guild’s cultivation room was just added to that.

Shin Hyeok, who became the first user of the cultivation room built with all sorts of rare and unique materials as well as legendary materials, immediately sat cross-legged and took out the Death Spirit Pill.

[Death Spirit Pill]

-Classification: Elixir [Legendary]

An elixir crafted by containing only the pure death of dead souls.

Upon consumption, you can acquire a large amount of death energy.

* Warning! If not consumed properly, the elixir’s medicinal properties may go berserk.

“Indeed. Legendary is legendary.”

A large amount of death energy.

And the medicinal properties going berserk.

This part was important.

The fact that so much death energy was contained in the Death Spirit Pill that the system explicitly mentioned it.

Furthermore, it was so massive that it could go berserk.

Living as a player, you needed to see through the meanings contained in various messages.

Often, the whole thing was contained in one insignificant word or sentence.

Having grasped the Death Spirit Pill’s information, Shin Hyeok sat cross-legged in the middle of the cultivation room and drew up his death energy.

Tssshaaaaa!

An aura that seemed to mix dark black and ash colors flowed densely from Shin Hyeok.

An aura that made you want to keep your distance just by looking at it.

This was death energy.

Originating from death, and the energy closest to death.

Therefore, the living feel disgusted and avoid death energy when they see it.

Conversely, the dead, the resurrected, etc.

Beings close to death welcome death energy.

‘If I raise necromancy to Challenger level, meaning S-rank, death energy becomes almost essential. I got it at just the right timing.’

That’s why it was an energy that boasted perfect compatibility with necromancy.

To obtain S-rank necromancy, one needed not only their own abilities but also recognition from the undead, so if you wanted to achieve some level of mastery in necromancy, it was definitely something you should obtain.

Unless you were born with legendary-grade bodies like a necromantic body or soul body.

Anyway, having finished his thoughts, Shin Hyeok synchronized his own death energy with the death energy contained in the necromantic pill.

Even if it’s the same energy, the energy each possesses is subtly different.

Just as not all humans are the same, even identical elixirs have different energies.

So when taking this type of elixir, it was important to synchronize it with your own energy to match the wavelengths.

After completing the synchronization.

Shin Hyeok slammed his death energy directly into the necromantic pill and threw it into his mouth.

Crackle!

The necromantic pill that entered his mouth immediately turned to powder and flowed down his throat.

‘…Damn, it tastes awful. This is on the level of Hyo-rin’s special potions? Am I supposed to like this?’

The necromantic pill tasted terrible.

Enough to assault Shin Hyeok’s taste buds that had been trained(?) by Hyo-rin’s special potions.

It had a dry texture like a mixture of dust clumps, grain powder, and hardtack that made his throat feel completely blocked.

But Shin Hyeok didn’t mind and focused on the energy of the necromantic pill seeping into his body.

Whoooosh!

Once perfectly digested, massive death energy began erupting in earnest.

It started flowing through Shin Hyeok’s entire body like a torrent.

A current so fierce that any ordinary player would be terrified.

Especially since death energy by nature could damage the mana roads in one’s body by staining them with the energy of death, making it even more dangerous.

However, this didn’t apply to Shin Hyeok.

[Mana Circuit]

* Classification: Trait [Legendary]

Replaces mana roads with sophisticated mana circuits.

└Greatly increases mana recovery speed.

└Greatly increases mana stat acquisition speed.

└Greatly increases mana output.

└Greatly increases mana manipulation ability.

First, there was the legendary-grade trait, Mana Circuit.

Since it replaced mana roads with mana circuits, which were a dimension higher, the basic durability itself was different.

[All Master]

-Classification: Class [Unique]

└Additional bonuses apply when learning all skills.

└Additional bonuses apply when using all skills.

└Can handle opposing energies.

Second was the unique-grade class, All Master.

It was one of Shin Hyeok’s pillars that could be said to have made great contributions to creating the current Shin Hyeok.

Many other abilities filled Shin Hyeok beyond that.

Trait: Versatility helped his current body freely handle death energy it was experiencing for the first time, and Trait: Predation devoured and consumed the resisting death energy.

Furthermore, the biggest factor was probably Shin Hyeok’s experience from reaching Challenger in the Integrated League before his regression.

After mobilizing all his abilities to consume the necromantic pill, Shin Hyeok was able to obtain sweet fruit.

[Stat: Death Energy increased by 1,108.]

“I hit the stat limit.”

A whopping 1,108 death energy.

Considering it was a legendary elixir, it was a lot but somewhat ambiguous.

But right now, Shin Hyeok was in a situation where the wall called stat limit existed.

Considering that, it wasn’t bad.

Most importantly, just because he was blocked by the stat limit didn’t mean the remaining medicinal properties disappeared into the sky.

Rather, this remaining medicinal property part was what Shin Hyeok had aimed for.

Whiiiiing!

The medicinal properties Shin Hyeok absorbed were roughly one-third.

Condensing the remaining two-thirds of massive death energy, Shin Hyeok began crafting undead with it.

Currently, Durahan was the highest-level undead Shin Hyeok commanded.

Durahan was a monster that could even match Diamond players.

Of course, it could only face low-level Diamond at best, and even that was unstable, but this alone was an amazing level.

Originally, there weren’t many magic-type players who commanded undead at the Durahan level, and the only one who commanded multiple was Mawang from the Heavenly Realm.

But Shin Hyeok took one more step forward from there.

‘Call the soul and craft a vessel to contain it.’

Necromancy.

Literally the ability to command dead souls.

With it, he calls forth souls that died in the past.

With the help of Dimension Arena and the system, calling souls wasn’t difficult.

The hard part was just creating a vessel for that soul to reside in.

But now, with the massive death energy from the necromantic pill, things were different.

Like a craftsman making pottery, Shin Hyeok quickly crafted a vessel for the soul to dwell in and pushed the soul summoned through necromancy into it.

Crackcrackcrackcrack!!!

The process of the soul settling into the created vessel wasn’t easy.

The soul was unique, and the vessel was mass-produced.

In other words, he had to forcibly change the soul to fit the vessel.

It was like roughly forcing on clothes that didn’t fit.

No one in the world wants to forcibly wear clothes that don’t fit.

The same was true for souls.

And what made this possible was necromancy and his ability as a necromancer.

In that regard, Shin Hyeok’s ability was outstanding.

-…Are you my new lord?

“That’s right.”

-Death Knight, Muscal. I greet my new lord.

Thud!

After the final adjustment was complete, the soul that had perfectly settled into the body Shin Hyeok created knelt down in heavy armor and paid respects.

[Skill: Necromancy [A] has grown to Necromancy [S].]

It was the moment Shin Hyeok’s first S-rank skill was born.
