All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 035

Flash!

Shin Hyeok, who returned to his home with a bright flash of light, let out a hollow laugh at the living room that was brightly lit despite the dark night.

“If you’re going to sleep, go inside and sleep. Why are you doing this here?”

The food that had been prepared for the Guild Establishment Celebration Party had long since gone cold, and on the table full of those dishes, Su-a and Sejin were lying face down, having fallen asleep while waiting for Shin Hyeok.

Seeing this, Shin Hyeok quietly took out thin blankets from the room and covered their shoulders.

Shin Hyeok returned to his room and sat on the edge of the bed.

“Phew, this is damn exhausting.”

Certainly, the meeting with Cheonma was more difficult than the time with Wushen.

Fortunately, since Cheonma had completely healed his internal injuries, he didn’t immediately faint, but he was still tired nonetheless.

Still, since he had gained quite a bit, Shin Hyeok checked the last title he had obtained.

[Socheonma Candidate]

* The proficiency of Cheonma Divine Arts increases.

* The proficiency of Cheonma Seonggong increases.

* You receive the reverence of Cheonma Sect members.

“This is good. This is definitely similar to the level of Wushen’s Disciple (Temporary).”

The Socheonma Candidate title obtained from Cheonma was definitely decent.

The increased proficiency of the newly acquired Cheonma Divine Arts would help in accumulating demonic energy, and if the proficiency of Cheonma Seonggong increased, it would help in combat.

But there was a downside.

“Hmm, I still only have one title slot…”

Only one title could be equipped.

Later, title slots could be increased through the Achievement shop, but—

“Increasing title slots costs 50,000 points. My current Achievement points are… 13,000 points. Still a long way to go.”

The Achievement points Shin Hyeok currently had were nowhere near enough.

“I’ll have to switch them appropriately. Until I unlock additional title slots.”

Concluding his thoughts with the decision to switch according to the situation, Shin Hyeok immediately sat in lotus position.

Tssssssss—

First, he raised his Mana stat through the circulation of Taiji Divine Arts.

[Stat: Mana has increased by 10.]

Whoooooosh!

Next was Cheonma Divine Arts.

[Stat: Demonic Energy has increased by 5.]

The circulation of Taiji Divine Arts and Cheonma Divine Arts took about two hours.

Just the fact that he raised two stats by 10 and 5 respectively in just two hours proved the value of these two skills.

These were classified as D-rank, but they couldn’t be confined to the mere framework of D-rank.

After finishing the circulation.

Shin Hyeok threw his body onto the bed.

‘Hah, I need to find and recruit Baek Hyo-rin, repair the demon spear, do Dimension Arena… there’s so damn much to do…’

Though his tasks were mountainous, it was too much to overcome the approaching fatigue, so Shin Hyeok surrendered his body to the incoming drowsiness.

* * *

The next day.

At breakfast time, meeting Su-a and Sejin once again at the dining table, along with receiving the concentrated worry of his parents and younger sibling, Shin Hyeok waved his hands saying he was fine.

“I gained attention and received recognition, so there shouldn’t be any harm in the future.”

“But isn’t it still dangerous?”

“A Constellation’s attention is like a poisoned chalice. If you can digest it, it’s no different from a golden opportunity. Su-a, I recommend you also look into a decent Constellation. For you… hmm, Mansinjeon would be good.”

“Hmm, if that’s your advice, Shin Hyeok…”

A Constellation’s attention could be seen as a necessary evil.

If you couldn’t digest the attention it would be the worst, but if you could digest it, you’d be able to leap to a higher level.

In that regard, recommending Mansinjeon to Su-a was thanks to his experience before regression.

‘Su-a received great attention from the gods belonging to Mansinjeon. That probably won’t be different now either. It’s enough to ride the line appropriately and take only what’s worth taking without making an apostle contract.’

Mansinjeon.

That place was where the gods that existed on Earth gathered, and it was an organization of those who worshipped and believed in them.

Naturally, the main stat of those belonging there was Divine Power.

For Su-a, who mainly used Divine Power and was a dual class of priest and paladin, it was a perfect organization.

“What about me?”

“In Sejin hyung’s case, Mansinjeon would also be good. Blacksmith-type gods are also part of Mansinjeon. But to be honest…”

“To be honest?”

“With hyung’s skills, it’s not necessary. The reason for connecting with Constellations in the first place is to receive power from them and get traits or skills, but hyung is sufficient with just his own abilities.”

“Do I really have that level of ability…?”

“If you can’t trust hyung, trust me.”

“Right. There’s no way you’d bother lying about something like that, Shin Hyeok.”

Conversely, in Sejin’s case, he wasn’t the type who particularly needed a Constellation’s help.

What he needed was only numerous materials and experience handling them.

If that was sufficient, Sejin would rise to a level where he could stand shoulder to shoulder with them without a Constellation’s help.

‘He didn’t reach it before regression, but this life will be different. Because I’ll make it so.’

Of course, Sejin before regression was certainly an amazing blacksmith.

He was called The Artisan and was someone who crafted weapons of even mythical grade beyond legendary.

It would be a very distant story for now, but anyway, that’s how it was.

After roughly giving Su-a and Sejin future consulting(?).

Shin Hyeok took out the demon spear from his inventory.

“Kyaaaah! Wh-why is the demon spear like this!”

Naturally, Sejin, being a heavenly blacksmith, jumped up from his spot at the sight of the ruined demon spear.

That was enough to roughly touch the ceiling with his head.

Sejin’s surprise was that great.

It was a Unique+ grade demon spear.

And at Unique grade level, the durability was also considerable.

Since such a demon spear had become worse than a rag and was on the verge of turning to powder, it was natural for Sejin to be shocked even if it wasn’t his own work.

“I believed you were a blacksmith! How could you not cherish your own work!”

“Ugh, ugh, ughhh, hyung. I’m getting dizzy.”

In the end, Shin Hyeok had no choice but to be shaken back and forth while Sejin grabbed him by the collar.

As befitting a blacksmith who wielded hammers, Sejin’s physical abilities were remarkable.

Feeling the world spinning around, Shin Hyeok barely managed to calm Sejin down and immediately took out a sedative for Sejin from his inventory.

“It’s a Demon Crystal. Legendary grade material.”

“…!”

Demon Crystal.

The thing created by compressing Cheonma’s demonic energy emitted a brilliant light.

He handed the broken demon spear and the Demon Crystal to Sejin, who was staring at the black-swirling Demon Crystal as if entranced.

“Uh, uhh. Why are you giving this to me?”

“It’s still too much of a material for me to handle. I think you’ll have to take care of it, hyung.”

“I can’t do that. Just handling material of this level will raise not only my abilities as a blacksmith but also my status. For me to handle such material. You absolutely must handle it.”

“I lack the ability to handle this. Someday I’ll be able to handle it. But until then, this demon spear will have to remain in this state.”

“Ugh…”

Sejin wanted to refuse but couldn’t.

Shin Hyeok was certainly a blacksmith with remarkable talent, but Shin Hyeok had many other outstanding talents besides blacksmithing.

Considering that, it would take time for Shin Hyeok’s talent to rise to a level where he could perfectly handle legendary grade materials.

In the end, Sejin accepted the broken demon spear and Demon Crystal.

“I’ll make it properly.”

“That’s enough. When hyung grows, it’ll ultimately help our guild too. Please make it Legendary+ grade.”

“Hey! If that worked just by saying it, I’d do it for you too!”

“I made Unique+ grade though. Could it be… you’re scared?”

“…Perfect. I’ll make sure you can never say anything about surpassing your master again!”

“I’ll look forward to it.”

In the process, he didn’t forget to lightly provoke Sejin.

Since Sejin was a born craftsman, Shin Hyeok knew very well that provoking him like this would produce even better items.

‘Craftsmen and engineering students get better when you provoke them.’

Shin Hyeok, who was recalling this eternal truth, quietly shifted his gaze to his father, Inguyn, who was eating quietly.

“Oh, and I have a favor to ask of you too, Father.”

“Hm? Of me?”

“Could you connect me with the Alchemist Korea Branch under the distribution company’s name?”

“Alchemist Korea Branch? Why there all of a sudden?”

“There’s someone I need to recruit from there.”

“Hmm, you won’t tell me the details, will you?”

“…I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine. You don’t need to tell me everything. Instead, introduce me to this person you’re recruiting.”

“Of course. They’re someone who will be supplying products through distribution anyway, so meeting with you is essential.”

“Understood. I’ll arrange a meeting. I’ll send it with the names of Shinwha Distribution, the guild, and All Mighty together, so they won’t just refuse outright.”

“Thank you.”

He requested Inguyn to arrange a meeting with the Alchemist Korea Branch where Baek Hyo-rin was.

Though he didn’t give details, Inguyn trusted Shin Hyeok and didn’t ask any questions.

Having finished what he needed to say to Su-a, Sejin, and Inguyn, Shin Hyeok got up from his seat.

He had finished eating and said everything he needed to say.

Now there was only one thing left for Shin Hyeok to do.

“I’m going to raise my Dimension Arena tier. I also need to farm some Achievement points.”

“Dimension Arena? But you don’t have your magic spear?”

“The magic spear is just one of my weapons. There’s no reason to stop participating in Dimension Arena just because I don’t have that one thing.”

Dimension Arena.

He was going to participate in it to advance his tier.

Sejin showed concern since one of Shin Hyeok’s powerful weapons, the Unique+ grade magic spear, was in a half-destroyed state, but Shin Hyeok didn’t mind at all.

After reassuring all his worried family, colleagues, and friends.

Returning to his room, Shin Hyeok immediately equipped his gear and summoned Kkamak.

-Kkak?

“Please take care of me today too, Kkamak.”

-Kkaak!

After gently stroking the head and chin of Kkamak, who was cawing happily.

“Enter.”

Shin Hyeok entered Dimension Arena as if there was nothing more to see.

* * *

The Waiting Room of Dimension Arena.

In that place that now felt as comfortable as his own home from visiting so often, Shin Hyeok immediately started his broadcast.

-Kya! You’re here!

-What kind of performance will you show today?

-Looking forward to it!

“Nice to meet you. This is Shin-hyeok Choi.”

As if they had been waiting for this moment, countless viewers flocked in as soon as Shin Hyeok started his broadcast.

There were already plenty before Shin Hyeok reached Gold tier, but his recognition had risen globally beyond Korea after he not only challenged the Integrated Silver League but also achieved MVP.

Of course, during this time, Shin Hyeok was able to check other message windows.

[Achievement: You have achieved Gold promotion.]

[Achievement Points: You have gained 5,000 points.]

[Achievement: You have achieved Integrated Silver League MVP.]

[Achievement Points: You have gained 10,000 points.]

‘Hmm, good. This brings my current Achievement points to 28,000. If I gather 22,000 more points, I can add another title slot.’

These were the achievement messages for Integrated Silver League MVP and Gold promotion.

Shin Hyeok, who scanned the rapidly rising chat window with eagle eyes while noting the substantial increase in Achievement points, made a resolution.

‘I’ll gather 22,000 points today.’

The lacking 22,000 Achievement points.

As Shin Hyeok finished thinking about obtaining them today, a message window appeared before his eyes.

[Matching has ended.]

[The game will begin.]

A message announcing the end of matching.

At the same time, Shin Hyeok was transported to the arena where the main game would begin.

[The theme is Colosseum.]

-Waaaaaaaaaah!!!

A massive colosseum.

To a place where the cheers of spectators filling it burst forth like thunder.
