All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 047
The winner of the second Dotteokee Market suddenly held in All Mighty’s Guild Master’s Office was none other than the Sword King of Osung Guild, Lee Hoseok.
“With twenty-two unique-grade materials, Osung Guild has taken the legendary-grade equipment crafting rights. Congratulations, Osung Guild Leader.”
“…Are you really going to hand over the authority to me like this?”
“Yes. Is there some problem? Ah, let me give you a discount and take off two to make it exactly twenty. I’ll also throw in one unique-grade equipment as a bonus.”
“Hmm, that wasn’t what I was talking about…”
Watching Shin Hyeok tilt his head as if he truly didn’t understand and bring up other topics, Ho Seok slightly turned his head to look at Inho.
Ho Seok had put his heart and soul into obtaining this right.
In contrast, Inho had been somewhat passive, perhaps because he truly didn’t think Shin Hyeok would eliminate him.
The result was right now.
Shin Hyeok raised Osung Guild’s hand as if there wasn’t an ounce of family affection.
The reason was just one.
“You dropped me just because of a mere two unique-grade materials difference?”
“Then you should have bid those two more.”
It was because he failed to bid two more unique-grade materials than Ho Seok.
Although unique-grade materials were expensive and precious, a massive guild like Shinwha Guild had plenty in stock.
But even so, the reason Inho couldn’t help but bid fewer materials than Osung Guild wasn’t just because he thought ‘surely Shin Hyeok wouldn’t cast me aside’—there was a more fundamental reason.
“…Damn it! Don’t mess around. There should be materials our guild sent to Shinwha Workshop, right? If we include those, a few unique-grade materials would be…!!!”
It was because materials had already been sent to Shinwha Workshop.
Originally, there would have been no problem.
Shinwha Workshop was tied under Shinwha Guild’s umbrella.
Since they could exchange materials anytime, he had thoughtlessly sent this month’s supply in advance as usual, as was customary.
But in a short time, the connection between Shinwha Workshop and Shinwha Guild was severed—snap!—and that severed link was connected to a new string called All Mighty.
In other words—
“Why would that belong to Shinwha Guild Leader? It belongs to Shinwha Workshop. Ah, now it’s under All Mighty Guild, so it’s mine.”
“Graaahhhhh…!!!”
For Inho, this was enough to drive him crazy and make him jump around.
He was actually going crazy and jumping around.
His well-groomed slicked-back hair was roughly disheveled, and his face was burning red, on the verge of exploding.
Watching this scene, Ho Seok quietly approached Shin Hyeok’s side and grasped the sword at his waist.
“You’d better be careful. Flame King usually pretends to be cool and gentle, but true to his name Flame King, he’s quite hot-tempered.”
“But why are you trying to protect me?”
“…Because if something happens to you here, the rights you mentioned for me might be damaged.”
“Ah, but, well… Shinwha Guild Leader. No, I know my uncle’s personality better.”
Seeing him call him uncle only after business was finished, Ho Seok clicked his tongue.
‘He tormented our family so terribly that I couldn’t help but know.’
Inho was cool and gentle on the surface, as Ho Seok had said.
But behind the scenes, he often committed all sorts of lowly acts.
If his eldest uncle and that family showed contempt toward Shin Hyeok’s family, his eldest aunt and that family showed disregard.
And his youngest uncle Inho chose to thoroughly trample them.
He used all sorts of dirty and despicable methods to chip away at their humanity and self-esteem, cut off their money supply, and even sent people to monitor them.
Of course, he had learned this before his regression, but there was no way he wouldn’t do such things now, so his feelings toward Inho were no different from the worst.
Therefore, Shin Hyeok stared at Inho intently and said.
“If you have something you want to say, say it to Grandfather. And didn’t you say, Uncle, that everything with Shinwha’s name belongs to Grandfather? Grandfather simply gave me what was his, so I don’t think Uncle has any reason to be angry.”
“…You, are you confident? Do you have the confidence to treat Shinwha Guild, to treat me, like this in Korea and still be safe!”
Now it’s threats? How ugly.
A threat spat out with a face twisted like a demon, unable to hide his anger.
Anyone else would have trembled, but Shin Hyeok wasn’t the least bit intimidated.
Rather—
Crack!
“I’m also a Shinwha. And if you’re really bothered, shall we have a match?”
“…What?”
“I was actually wanting to test the performance of the Arcane Spear I made this time, and Uncle would make a decent enough test. Shall we try it?”
“…Grgh!”
He took out his Arcane Spear and holy sword from his inventory, armed himself, and calmly provoked him.
Bothered? Then just don’t do things that would bother you.
Eventually, Inho, who had been grinding his teeth and stomping his feet, roughly grabbed the jacket he had taken off and stormed out of the guild leader’s office.
“Oh my, it hasn’t been long since I decorated, but it’s all ruined. Tsk, should I bill Shinwha Guild for repair costs?”
“I’ll connect you with Five Stars Interior.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yeah, as a token of asking you to do good work on the crafting.”
“I’d be grateful if you did that. Thank you.”
Left alone, Shin Hyeok and Ho Seok chatted about trivial matters and wrapped up the meeting.
Just as Ho Seok was about to leave as well.
“I don’t particularly dislike you, Osung Guild Leader.”
“…Is that so?”
“You did mess up your child’s education a bit… but since I don’t really care about Joo-ho anyway, it doesn’t particularly matter.”
“…”
“But there’s one thing I want to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“If you gave birth to him, take responsibility. He’s your child, isn’t he?”
“…?!”
At Shin Hyeok’s casually dropped words, Ho Seok’s head whipped around and his eyes widened.
At the gaze filled with emotion asking how he could know such a thing, Shin Hyeok offered a farewell greeting with an expressionless face.
“I’ll prepare and send unique equipment suitable for Mujeonggeum to Osung Guild.”
“I see… Thank you…”
Watching Ho Seok disappear dejectedly with his head hung low, unable to find words to refute, Shin Hyeok shook his head.
But that was only for a moment.
“I should go test the Arcane Spear.”
Shin Hyeok logged into Dimension Arena to test his newly acquired Arcane Spear.
And an invasive species that would devastate the Gold ecosystem appeared.
* * *
10 consecutive wins in the Colosseum.
The first creation of legendary-grade equipment.
Even after such major bombshells exploded, the world continued to turn normally.
[Shin-hyeok Choi breaking through Gold tier with unstoppable momentum!]
[Photos of players who encountered him fleeing (JPG)]
[The power of legendary+ grade equipment? Or the player’s ability?]
[Aiming for Integrated Gold League MVP right after Integrated Silver League MVP?]
[Where is Shin-hyeok Choi’s next stage!]
Of course, within all that, interest in Shin Hyeok exploded exponentially.
Undefeated.
Articles about Shin Hyeok, who never lost once and broke through every game he participated in by placing first or setting the highest record, were the best products that guaranteed views just by posting them.
Shin Hyeok was definitely an existence that brought storms wherever he went.
The narrative of crawling up from the bottom with a predicted tier of Bronze.
His decent physique that had been hidden and invisible.
Furthermore, not only proving his own abilities but even having the talent management skills to keep a craftsman capable of creating legendary-grade equipment under his command.
Although Shin Hyeok’s tier was currently Gold, he already possessed fame that overwhelmed most Diamond tier players.
Anyway, during this time, Shin Hyeok had not only reached Gold 1 but had reached the peak.
[You have qualified to participate in the Integrated Gold League.]
[You cannot access Dimension Arena from now until the end of the month.]
The qualification to participate in the Integrated Gold League that he had naturally seized.
Considering that he had just participated in the Integrated Silver League last month, this was an absurd achievement.
In just one month, he had not only skipped a tier but also gained entry to the Integrated League.
It was impossible, and even though he had actually achieved an unprecedented accomplishment that no one had ever succeeded in before, Shin Hyeok was indifferent.
“Hmm, easy.”
Because the process had been far too easy.
Shin Hyeok felt disappointed because there hadn’t been any urgent situations like when he achieved his 10-win streak in the Colosseum, situations where he had to scrape out every bit of his limits.
Ease.
That was truly a sweet word.
It meant that nothing could stop whatever he did, and he could even crush those who tried to interfere.
But for Shin Hyeok, that very ease felt regrettable instead.
“My skills aren’t growing at all.”
Just as jazz without swing lacks something that moves the heart, skills without growth are the same.
Currently, most of Shin Hyeok’s skills had reached B-rank.
B-rank was the level of Platinum.
In contrast, Shin Hyeok’s tier was Gold.
In other words, his skill level was higher than what matched his tier.
For skills to grow, they needed appropriate battlefields.
But in the Gold tier where Shin Hyeok was currently active, such battlefields were extremely rare.
Things like hidden stages, for instance.
“Still, this should be worthwhile.”
[Colosseum Champion Challenge Ticket]
* Limited Grade
A ticket that only challengers who succeed in a 10-win streak in the Colosseum can obtain.
When the ticket is used, the next game is confirmed to be against the Colosseum’s champion.
* Warning: Can only be used in Gold tier and below.
That’s why the challenge ticket, one of the rewards for the Colosseum 10-win streak, was precious to Shin Hyeok.
If he used this, it would give him experience fighting against a strong opponent that he could never encounter at his current level.
Since he could gain experience that would be hard to obtain even after passing through the Integrated Gold League and reaching Platinum, Shin Hyeok fondled the challenge ticket before checking his status window.

“Hmm, it’s ambiguous.”
A status window that was right at the threshold of Gold tier’s limits.
But with his participation in the Integrated Gold League, he could no longer enter Dimension Arena and couldn’t aim for stat increases.
“Everyone else will probably come with their stats perfectly matched to the limit of 1,000. It’s not absolutely necessary, but if I want to show even slightly more overwhelming performance, I should match the limit stats too.”
In this situation, there were two methods to raise his stats to the limit.
First was physical training.
It was the most ordinary and standard method.
Most players sought to increase their stats through physical training.
However, it wasn’t the method Shin Hyeok would choose now.
“It’s impossible to bring all my stats to 1,000 in just one week. Even with a top-level trainer, it would be too much. Then there’s only one answer.”
The Integrated League was held once a month.
And since Shin Hyeok had spent considerable time handling various matters while pursuing Dimension Arena in parallel, the time consumed was not insignificant.
Now there was roughly a week left until the Integrated League.
In that time, strength, stamina, intelligence, mana, sacred power, and magic power.
Raising all six stats to 1,000 was impossible.
Even with a trainer who specialized in managing top-tier players, it would be too much.
‘Hmm, maybe that’s not right. Well, anyway, it’s not something to do right now, so it’s still too much. In the end, the only method left for me is elixirs.’
Though he knew of a trainer who could make it possible, since that person didn’t exist at this time, Shin Hyeok abandoned that hope and thought of the last remaining method.
Elixirs.
When he had achieved excellent results in the placement exam.
The advanced stat enhancer and advanced mana pill he had received from his grandfather Cheolho.
Of course, the elixirs he needed to take now were of a much higher grade than those, but the essence was no different.
Having finished that thought, Shin Hyeok checked the text message his father had sent and stood up.
-Father: Alchemist has agreed. They said you can visit anytime.
“Alchemist. Shall I go?”
Alchemist Korea Branch.
Shin Hyeok strode toward that place, which was absolutely unavoidable if one wanted to obtain elixirs in Korea.
