All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 118
After the message appeared.
The system that had been silent finally sent a message to Shin Hyeok.
[Reward settlement has been completed.]
“Finally!”
At the message that reward settlement was finished, Shin Hyeok, who had been sitting and resting, jumped up and cheered.
As if responding to Shin Hyeok’s cheers, the system began reciting the reward list.
[You have acquired ownership of the Ravine Underground Mine.]
[You gain ownership of everything that occurs in the Ravine Underground Mine.]
[You can hire others at the Ravine Underground Mine.]
[You can summon those employed at the Ravine Underground Mine.]
[Those employed are judged as Players and will revive at the Ravine Underground Mine after death.]
[Warning! Those who revive will suffer permanent stat reduction.]
“This is good? If the system officially recognizes ownership of the Sacheolseok Mine, that’s great for me. Plus I can hire other Players too, which is even better. And finally, I can summon those I’ve hired for combat, so it feels like a lower-tier version of retainer summoning.”
The first reward was the Sacheolseok Mine, as expected.
More precisely, it was ownership of the Ravine Underground Mine.
The value of a mine that could continuously supply high-quality sacheol iron was beyond description.
Moreover, the Players working in the mine could also be used for combat, which was even better.
Of course, they would suffer stat reduction if they died, so he couldn’t use them recklessly, but that was something Shin Hyeok could manage well.
After the basic rewards passed.
The main reward list welcomed Shin Hyeok.
[You can choose two from the rewards below.]
[1. Legendary Grade Trait Selection Ticket]
[2. Unique Grade Trait Growth Ticket]
[3. Unique Grade Body Selection Ticket]
[4. Achievement Points 700,000]
[5. S-Grade Skill Draw Ticket]
“…This is good. This level is inferior to the rewards I got when I achieved the impossible Achievement last time, but excluding that, it’s the best level.”
A total of 5 reward options.
He could choose 2 of them, but the reward list was so dazzling that it was hard to decide which to pick.
Legendary Grade Trait Selection Ticket.
Legendary grade traits were items that would be above average no matter what you chose.
Of course, some traits might not match the path a Player had walked, but since this wasn’t a draw ticket but a selection ticket, that didn’t matter much.
Next was the Unique Grade Trait Growth Ticket.
This was also a very appetizing reward.
Trait Growth Tickets were items available in the Achievement shop that, when used after using a Trait Enhancement Ticket, would grow the trait to the next level.
In other words, the Unique Grade Trait Growth Ticket was an item that would turn a possessed unique grade trait into a legendary grade trait.
Especially-
“It’s about time to grow Versatility.”
Since Versatility, Shin Hyeok’s unique grade trait and awakened trait, was exactly unique grade, this was a very good reward.
Before regression, Shin Hyeok had naturally grown Versatility to legendary grade and knew its power well, so he planned to grow Versatility to legendary grade as well.
He was just saving Achievement Points to buy the 5 million point Job Enhancement Ticket [Unique] instead of buying the 500,000 point Trait Growth Ticket.
But if he got the Trait Growth Ticket as a reward, he would only need to spend 100,000 points to buy the Trait Enhancement Ticket, making it an irresistible reward for Shin Hyeok.
“The Unique Grade Body isn’t bad either. Especially since it’s a selection ticket.”
The next reward, the Unique Grade Body Selection Ticket, was also good.
Currently, Shin Hyeok’s unique grade bodies were Absorption Demon Body, Flame Extreme Body, and Boneless.
These didn’t stand out as much as traits or skills.
But they were abilities that would be missed if absent.
In short, they weren’t powers that made you better, but powers that made you less lacking.
He hadn’t chosen the Legendary Grade Body Draw Ticket because of the probability factor of drawing, but if it was a selection ticket, that was different, so this was good too.
“Achievement Points are always better to have more. Especially because of the Job Enhancement Ticket.”
The fourth reward was 700,000 Achievement Points.
This was ordinary but good precisely because of that.
Like water and air, Achievement Points were no different from essential goods.
“The S-Grade Skill Draw Ticket is… disappointing, so disappointing.”
Of course, not all rewards were satisfactory.
The S-Grade Skill Draw Ticket was such a reward.
Well, it was one of the rewards any other Player would have definitely chosen.
For most Players, Achievement Points wouldn’t feel very relevant, and the same went for things like Trait Growth Tickets.
In contrast, S-grade skills were literally complete forms.
Enough that you could abandon everything you had before and be reborn as a Player with the S-grade skill as your foundation.
But not for a Player of Shin Hyeok’s caliber.
Especially since the synergy of Versatility, Late Bloomer, and All Master made his skill growth speed incomparable to others.
“What should I choose…”
Still, excluding the S-Grade Skill Draw Ticket, all the rewards would be of great help to the current Shin Hyeok, so his contemplation deepened.
“First, Achievement Points are a must.”
The first choice was Achievement Points.
This was an obvious choice.
Shin Hyeok had postponed even trait enhancement and growth to buy the Job Enhancement Ticket, so there was no way he’d pass up the massive Achievement Points that would speed that up.
“Hmm, the second choice is… Hmmmm…”
But the second choice wasn’t as quick as the first.
It couldn’t be helped.
Shin Hyeok would be satisfied with whichever of the remaining three rewards he chose.
Still, the moment of choice arrived.
“Trait Growth Ticket. I’ll go with this.”
Shin Hyeok’s choice was the Trait Growth Ticket.
The other rewards were certainly attractive too.
A new legendary grade trait would become Shin Hyeok’s new foundation, and a new unique grade body would become his new base.
Surely the tree that bloomed anew from above them would become great strength for Shin Hyeok in the future, but-
“Now is the time to refine what I have.”
Now was the time to look at the present, not the future.
The reason?
It was simple.
“It’s absolutely necessary to win the National Competition.”
The National Competition.
To usurp the summit of that place that had become both a global festival and a sanctuary for the privileged, he naturally had to do so.
“Mawang and Muwang. With my current self, I’m definitely lacking. So I’ll close the gap with this.”
The Twin Emperors.
The beings called Mawang and Muwang respectively.
It was necessary work to crush the countries they belonged to and usurp the summit.
Thus, Shin Hyeok received all the rewards.
“…Savior. What becomes of us now?”
After Shin Hyeok received all the rewards.
The Orc Miners who had fled far away to avoid the battle between Shin Hyeok and Thunder Hammer approached Shin Hyeok and asked cautiously.
They were afraid of Shin Hyeok.
It had been the same when he first defeated the Dwarf Overseer, but after the death of Thunder Hammer, who had been the mine’s manager and acting owner, it reached its peak.
Therefore, they couldn’t approach Shin Hyeok even during the moments when he rested and received rewards after the battle with Thunder Hammer.
But even such fear ultimately couldn’t overcome the desire to live.
Shin Hyeok had clearly said he came to help them, and had actually restored their vitality through potions and pills.
However, now that not only the Dwarf Overseer but even Thunder Hammer was dead and Shin Hyeok had taken his place as the mine’s new owner.
Shin Hyeok’s thoughts could change at any moment, and it wouldn’t be strange.
Perhaps things could become even more serious than when they had to labor under the rule of the dwarves, so they stepped forward despite their fear.
“That’s—”
“May I speak about that?”
“Tarkan. Is everything settled on your end?”
“I finished up long ago. Shin Hyeok. Can you leave convincing them to me?”
“…Mm, alright. Since you’re both Non-Green Orcs, your persuasion will probably work better. I’m counting on you.”
And to ease their fears, Tarkan, who had fought the dwarves at the mine entrance, stepped forward.
When Tarkan, who had finished off the dwarves early and was waiting for an opportunity to step up, came forward, the Orc Miners couldn’t hide their surprise.
“Black Orc!”
“Tarkan, you say… Right, I think I remember hearing about this before. They said an outstanding warrior and shaman Player was born among the Black Orcs.”
“Hmm… A fellow Non-Green Orc. And if it’s a Black Orc who would have suffered the most persecution…”
They never imagined that among Shin Hyeok’s companions or subordinates would be a Non-Green Orc like themselves.
Especially a Black Orc, who had suffered the most persecution among Non-Green Orcs.
In particular, Tarkan was a Player famous enough during his active days to be known even to Non-Green Orcs in other dimensions, so trust began to shine in the Orc Miners’ eyes.
At that very moment.
Thud!
“You foolish ones. Have you been buried in the mines eating dust and forgotten even your pride as warriors under the dwarves’ whips!”
“…What!”
“Tarkan! Even if you are an outstanding warrior, you have no right to insult our pride!”
“Take back those words immediately!”
Tarkan stomped his feet roughly and spat harsh words at them.
A warrior’s pride.
For orcs born as warriors, it was more important than anything else, and in orc society, insulting one’s pride as a warrior was worse than cursing one’s parents.
The Orc Miners erupted in anger at Tarkan, who insulted their warrior’s pride.
Even though they had spent long periods in the Sacheolseok Mine without seeing light, groaning under the Dwarf Overseers’ whips and only mining, the pride of warriors still lived and breathed in their hearts, just as Tarkan said.
But Tarkan did not back down.
“Shut up! If you truly haven’t forgotten your pride as warriors, then don’t tremble in fear and face reality! And envision the future! Who was it that saved you from the grasp of the cruel Upper Echelon dwarves? Was it the Emerald Orcs who despised us and didn’t even treat us as kin? No! A human. A Player of the human race that was despised as weak throughout all dimensions! Though he wasn’t born a warrior, he is more excellent, outstanding, and magnificent than any warrior! If you are warriors saved by such a person, shouldn’t you offer your loyalty as warriors rather than pathetically clinging to your own lives! But what were you doing? Instead of loyalty as warriors, you were trembling over your mayfly-like lifelines. Do you truly have the pride of warriors living and breathing within you?”
“…”
Watching Tarkan roughly rebuke the Orc Miners’ anger and silence them in one go, Shin Hyeok nodded his head.
‘I did well to leave it to him. This should be good for incorporating the Orc Miners under me.’
Shin Hyeok couldn’t just leave the Orc Miners alone either.
The Sacheolseok Mine was massive, so it couldn’t be operated with just them, but letting go of these experts who were skilled miners and knew the Sacheolseok Mine inside and out would be too great a loss.
However, Shin Hyeok couldn’t force a miner’s life on those who had been exploited as miners by the dwarves for so long.
He could have done it if he wanted to, but that would make him no different from the Upper Echelon that Shin Hyeok despised, so he couldn’t do that.
In that regard, Tarkan’s outcry was exactly to Shin Hyeok’s liking.
However, one thing Shin Hyeok hadn’t anticipated was that he didn’t know what videos Tarkan had been watching recently on the phone he had gotten him during his breaks, nor what books he had purchased online.
“You must realize! The evil of those wicked imperialists of the Homo Novus Empire! And the other imperialists of the Upper Echelon who agree with their system and discriminate by skin color, by the presence or absence of beards, and even by race!”
“…Something seems strange.”
Shin Hyeok’s expression became peculiar for a moment, feeling somehow like there was a dark flavor to this.
“Your kin, who differ only in skin color, have abandoned you! Even so, will you move for the kin who abandoned you!”
“NEIN!”
“Will you fall for their sweet talk and whips, bringing chaos to the world and filling the bellies of the kin who are not kin that abandoned you!”
“NEIN!!”
“Then are you prepared for total war, staking everything you have on the single Player named Shin-hyeok Choi who saved you!”
“JA! JA! JA! JAAAAAAAAA!!!”
“No, this is crazy.”
Tarkan poured out a speech as dark in flavor as his own skin.
While raising his arm at a 45-degree angle, and watching the Orc Miners respond in what seemed to be German, Shin Hyeok felt his mind growing distant.
Incidentally, what Tarkan had watched with NewTube Premium was some total war speech, and the books he had purchased were titled “My Struggle” and “Übermensch” respectively—facts that would only be discovered after Shin Hyeok returned home.

Out of everything he could’ve read, he somehow managed to pick up Mein Kampf. Tarkan might have to have a meeting with HR.
