All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 006

“The situation seems a bit different from when we started?”

“…You!”

Joo-ho, who had been dragged in front of Shin Hyeok and thrown down, gritted his teeth while showing his anger toward Shin Hyeok.

But even at such a reaction, Shin Hyeok didn’t care and swung his sword.

Slash!

A clean strike.

B-grade swordsmanship accurately cut through Joo-ho’s neck.

Joo-ho’s corpse, whose neck had been severed and was processed as dead, turned into particles of light and disappeared.

[Shin-hyeok Choi -> Lee Jooho]

“1 billion!”

“But we have to split it among ourselves, so it’ll only be about 100 million.”

“100 million is still something.”

“That’s true.”

Looking at Shin Hyeok’s kill log that appeared, the players who had betrayed Joo-ho let out cheers.

But the joy didn’t last long.

“What are you celebrating? Now you guys fight each other.”

“…Ah.”

“Or would you like to fight me again?”

Because Shin Hyeok, who had been casually sitting on some debris, stood up while holding his sword and staff.

At Shin Hyeok’s words, the players slowly moved away from the comrades they had just been embracing and sharing joy with.

Watching them, Shin Hyeok smiled.

“Now, kill each other.”

“Aaahhh!”

“Die!”

Shin Hyeok was showing the essence of achieving results without lifting a finger.

* * *

“Wh-what place am I in?”

“You? About 4th place. There are some kids just holding out.”

“Ugh… Still, I’m satisfied with that much-“

“Then farewell.”

Thud!

[Skill: Staff Technique [E] has been acquired.]

After the players fought among themselves.

Shin Hyeok, who had smashed the last survivor’s head with his staff, checked the remaining number of survivors.

[Remaining Survivors: 3]

“2 people left.”

The joint attack by Joo-ho and the players.

Their betrayal.

The civil war among those who betrayed.

2 players who didn’t show themselves until this commotion ended.

But Shin Hyeok wasn’t particularly worried.

“Since I killed so many, I have 3 location trackers. Should I catch them with these?”

Location trackers.

Because he had as many as 3 location trackers, the very items he had fallen victim to several times in the early stages.

“Using location tracker, Hwang Seon-ung.”

It was the moment when the positions of hunter and prey switched.

* * *

Slash!

[Skill: Blade Technique [E] has been acquired.]

[Skill: Tracking [E] has been acquired.]

“Phew, is this the end?”

Thanks to the last remaining player giving up on combat and choosing to flee, Shin Hyeok had to spend quite a lot of time.

But that player was eventually captured by Shin Hyeok’s excellent tracking skills and had his neck severed.

With the player’s corpse turning into particles of light and disappearing behind him, a message appeared before Shin Hyeok’s eyes.

[The placement test has ended.]

[Achievement: You have achieved 1st place survival.]

[Achievement: You have achieved most kills.]

[Achievement: You have achieved perfect play.]

“Perfect.”

The message window announcing the end of the placement test.

Along with it, it showed just how amazing the results Shin Hyeok had created were.

Because he had achieved as many as three Achievements that would guarantee placement test Silver just by achieving one.

But the surprise was just beginning.

[You have self-acquired 5 or more weapon techniques in the placement test.]

[Job: You can choose Weapon Master.]

“Weapon Master? You can obtain this job this way too?”

Jobs existed in Dimension Arena.

Ordinary people would just get jobs like warrior, mage, archer, etc.

They would get jobs that were nothing but ordinary, but those with good luck were different.

Among them, Weapon Master was a player so remarkable that even Shin Hyeok from his previous life knew of him.

“Weapon Master, Rodrick. He was a Grand Master from the European region. It was widely known that there was no weapon he couldn’t handle…”

Grand Master.

A title referring to Diamond Tier, which was evaluated as being on the verge of Challenger.

He remained especially memorable because he was the only Grand Master on the European continent.

At the thought of being able to obtain the job of such an existence, Shin Hyeok’s heart began to race.

‘My job before regression was Supreme Swordsman. It was like polishing an ordinary class to the extreme. If a hidden job comes to someone like me…!’

Because Shin Hyeok had an ordinary class despite being Challenger Tier, his anticipation was doubled.

“I’ll accep-“

So just as Shin Hyeok was about to accept.

[You have self-acquired 10 or more skills in the placement test.]

[Job: You can choose All Master.]

“All… Master?”

A suddenly appearing message window blocked Shin Hyeok’s choice.

All Master.

A job he was hearing for the first time in his life.

But the moment he saw that name, Shin Hyeok instinctively reached toward the message window.

[Job: All Master has been acquired.]

[All Master]

-Classification: Job [Unique]

└Additional correction values are applied when learning all skills.

└Additional correction values are applied when using all skills.

└You can handle opposing energies.

“…I never imagined I’d get All Master as a job rather than a nickname.”

Before regression, Shin Hyeok was called All Master and alone did work that dozens of Challenger players could do.

To such a Shin Hyeok, the job of All Master was truly given.

What that meant was simple.

“It doesn’t seem like it’ll take very long to teach those Homo Novus Empire bastards a lesson.”

The Homo Novus Empire that had killed him.

And the Challenger players from other dimensions who had joined hands with them.

That the time to plunge the blade of revenge into them wouldn’t be too far away.

[Skills: Archery[C], Swordsmanship[B], Axe Technique[D], Spear Technique[D], Staff Technique[E], Blade Arts[E] have been combined into Comprehensive Weapon Mastery[D].]

“This isn’t bad either.”

Shin Hyeok was satisfied seeing his various scattered weapon skills combine into one as compensation for obtaining the All Master class.

Though the grade had dropped significantly in exchange, it wasn’t a problem for Shin Hyeok who had the Versatile and Late Bloomer traits.

Having obtained a new class and new skills, the moment of true reward approached Shin Hyeok.

[You have achieved 3 Achievements in the placement exam!]

[This record is unique in the dimension and will be recorded in the Dimension Arena’s Akashic Record.]

[Reward: Random Box (Maximum Legendary), Random Trait]

“…Fantastic.”

A random box that could produce up to legendary-grade items.

But what Shin Hyeok was truly focused on was the latter reward.

“A random trait. It’s no different from gaining another heart.”

Shin Hyeok already had two hearts with Versatile and Late Bloomer.

Now that he was gaining a random trait on top of that, it was the perfect reward for Shin Hyeok.

“I’ll save the random box to open when I get back… I’ll receive the random trait.”

So Shin Hyeok calmed his racing heart with deep breaths and received the random trait.

[You have acquired the trait: Predation.]

“Predation? What kind of trait is this?”

A trait he had never heard of in his life appeared before Shin Hyeok.

Predation.

Just as Shin Hyeok was lost in thought, unable to understand what kind of trait it was.

[All the Apex of Evil has sensed their trace and come to find you.]

[All the Apex of Evil looks at you with interest for obtaining their trait.]

“A Constellation…!”

A Constellation had come to find Shin Hyeok.

‘A Constellation that wouldn’t even glance at ordinary Achievements is already showing interest in me?’

Constellations were beings that wouldn’t spare a glance no matter how desperately others tried to get their attention.

For such a Constellation to show interest in a Player who had just finished their placement exam was truly remarkable.

“Could you tell me about this trait, though I am lacking?”

So Shin Hyeok wanted to learn about the trait called Predation that he didn’t understand.

[All the Apex of Evil strokes their chin in contemplation.]

[All the Apex of Evil accepts your request.]

“…! Thank you!”

Fortunately, All the Apex of Evil granted Shin Hyeok’s request.

His joy at this fact was short-lived.

[Warning! There may be pain!]

“Pain? What do you mean- Kugh…!”

A sensation like needles stabbing into his brain began to dominate Shin Hyeok.

Even Shin Hyeok, who was accustomed to pain, couldn’t endure this agony and trembled while struggling briefly.

“Phew… So this is what kind of trait it was…”

As the pain vanished instantly, Shin Hyeok smiled with a sigh while recalling the information about Predation that had settled in his mind.

“The power to absorb part of the abilities of enemies I devour? That’s ridiculous, isn’t it?”

The power to absorb the abilities of enemies he defeated.

Unfortunately, since this wasn’t the ‘real’ Dimension Arena, he couldn’t absorb from Players, but that didn’t matter.

“The monsters that appear in the Dimension Arena are enough for rapid growth. All Master plus Predation. I keep gaining wings while just standing still.”

For now, just defeating the monsters that appeared in the Dimension Arena would be enough for growth through Predation without any major problems.

As Shin Hyeok smiled at his continuously increasing abilities.

[All the Apex of Evil says they look forward to your future activities.]

“I will try to meet your expectations.”

All the Apex of Evil, who had informed Shin Hyeok about Predation, left only one message before disappearing suddenly.

Only then, certain that the gaze upon him had disappeared, Shin Hyeok let out a sigh.

“Phew, receiving a Constellation’s attention is really difficult after all.”

Constellations were god-like beings.

Even though they communicated through messages and watched from an immense distance, it was extremely taxing for Shin Hyeok, who was merely human.

Just as the exhausted Shin Hyeok sprawled out.

[The placement exam has ended.]

[Your placement tier is currently being determined, please wait a moment.]

“Oh, come to think of it, this was still the placement exam.”

Only then realizing he was still in the middle of his placement exam, Shin Hyeok chuckled and waited for his tier assignment.

How much time had passed?

The message window appeared again.

[Player Shin-hyeok Choi’s tier has been determined.]

[The Achievements that Shin-hyeok Choi accomplished and play style were used as data for this tier assignment.]

“This should be worth looking forward to.”

What Shin Hyeok had shown in this placement exam and the Achievements he had earned were by no means ordinary.

He didn’t know what the Dimension Arena’s Akashic Record was, but it wouldn’t be ordinary.

Just the fact that it would be stored there showed that.

Furthermore, if his play style was also reflected, Shin Hyeok’s tier assignment would skyrocket.

And the following message window turned Shin Hyeok’s thoughts into certainty.

[Player Shin-hyeok Choi’s tier is…]

“…Does this make any sense?”

With results so unbelievable even seeing them with his own eyes.
