For You (1)
Ian was shocked.
“The conditions have changed quite a bit from two months ago.”
Hwarang Guild, ranked 1st in our country.
The Hwarang Guild recruiter had been desperate to recruit Ian, who was ranked 1st among archers.
But not now.
“You were 1st place then, and now you’ve dropped to 6th.”
The recruiter had previously offered the position of archer knight order captain and much better conditions than what he just proposed, but now he was only offering a position as a member of the archer knight order.
“To be honest, our Hwarang Guild believes that Ian will soon be pushed out of the top 50.”
The recruiter looked at the bow strapped to Ian’s back.
“Excellent horn bows are hard to come by, only one is made out of a thousand.”
The recruiter didn’t show the same passionate recruitment desire as before.
Come if you want, or don’t.
He spoke as if feeling sorry.
“I can’t understand it. Why did Ian choose something like a mere horn bow?”
Ian stood up from his seat.
His head was complicated.
He immediately logged out.
He hadn’t really planned to join a guild in the first place. He had only wanted to hear the conditions since it was a proposal from Hwarang, our country’s best guild.
And he realized that he was falling day by day.
Hoping for comfort, he told this fact to his friends’ group chat.
His friends, who seemed to comfort him at first, said:
[Ho-beom, honestly I don’t understand either. Why a horn bow of all things?]
[Didn’t you know? Ho-beom is a nationalist nutjob lol.]
Ian turned off the group chat too.
After drinking heavily, he fell asleep just like that.
Ian woke up clutching his splitting head and heard sounds from the news.
[Last evening, a legendary artifact beyond legends was created in our country…]
He turned off the TV.
It was a story completely unrelated to him.
‘Should I quit?’
Ian, who had washed his face dry, soon checked a message that came to his mobile phone.
It was a message from Hyeon’s Forge.
[The horn bow you commissioned has been completed.]
Ian went to the promised location.
He said he had somewhere to go, and Ian was able to meet Hyeon at the coordinates he had marked.
Ian was shocked when he received the bow.
His eyes shook.
He looked at the person who had revealed himself as Hyeon-su with an expression of disbelief.
“Why, why… are you giving this to me…”
If it had been Ian, he wouldn’t have sold this.
People didn’t understand.
Why horn bows were good.
Because it was the bow he held in his childhood, and because many legendary figures like Yi Sun-sin, Yi Seong-gye, and Jumong handled them well, etc.
No one understood him and everyone criticized his choice.
“I also debated whether to sell it or not.”
He spoke with confident eyes.
“But I judged that Ian is the only person in our country who can wield this horn bow.”
Only him?
“The restriction says horn bow mastery must be at expert level or higher. Ian is probably the only user in our country who has achieved that, and since you have it, I thought Ian and this Jumong’s Horn Bow would create the best synergy.”
When everyone was asking why you chose something like a horn bow.
“Only you are qualified to wield this bow.”
He alone was different.
“Ha, haha…”
Ian hugged the bow.
After hugging it for a while, Ian organized his thoughts.
He had made a promise to him.
If he received satisfactory bow crafting, he would create a video for Hyeon’s Forge.
Three years ago, he with the nickname Editor Jin was someone that many streamers in our country wanted to take with them.
At this moment, he resolved.
“I will create the best video for you.”
Ian was confident.
That his video could settle him within the top 5.
“Also, there’s nothing else I can do for you, but I want to repay this kindness. Is there anything you want?”
At that, Hyeon-su looked at him and just smiled softly.
“Ian.”
“…!?”
Soon his story began.
The story of a small guild.
“We need the most powerful marksman to protect us.”
“…I’ll think about it.”
He truly intended to think deeply about it.
He needed to be careful before making an immediate decision.
“I’m thinking of challenging the Divine Archer Vaneka’s dungeon. It’s the ultimate goal of all archers.”
Ian immediately parted ways with him.
And he entered the Divine Archer Vaneka’s dungeon.
The Divine Archer Vaneka’s dungeon.
It was a dungeon that Ian had attempted when he was ranked 1st, and countless unofficial rankers had also tried.
But no one had ever seen the end of the Divine Archer Vaneka’s dungeon.
But something amazing happened.
[You have cleared the Divine Archer Vaneka’s dungeon.]
For Ian, who held a new bow, it was far too easy.
Soon, a soul appeared above the dead boss monster.
Divine Archer Vaneka.
One of the continent’s 10 great legends.
Though she was merely a figure who had died in the past, Divine Archer Vaneka was a beautiful woman.
She looked at Ian with admiration.
“One who holds a bow that others would not dare to grasp.”
Divine Archer Vaneka’s dungeon was merely the first step to becoming her successor.
She was known to possess a special eye called aesthetic sense.
She spoke.
“You have already made your decision.”
“….”
Ian’s complicated thoughts melted away in an instant at her words.
Only then did Ian realize that his body, having overcome the trial, was slightly turned.
As if he wanted to hurry and go to Hyeon.
Ian smiled slightly, and Vaneka said.
“I trust that you will carry on my pride. Go.”
Finally, Ian turned around.
Watching him run out, Vaneka murmured.
“A meeting between a master archer and a master craftsman.”
Vaneka felt it.
Their era was ending and a new world of different people was beginning.
Ian ran.
To be honest, Ian was convinced that he could accomplish infinite things if he was with him.
The words he had said to him.
“Only you are qualified to hold this bow.”
“Only you are qualified to hold this bow.”
“Only you are qualified to hold this bow.”
The man who acknowledged me amidst everyone’s criticism and reproach. The one who showed me that my choice was right.
[Hyeon-su: You said you would repay the favor, right? I’m sorry to say this so soon after we parted. Please help me.]
Ian, running like mad, was able to reach within 500m of the prisoner camp.
Jumong’s Horn Bow that Hyeon had crafted for him.
This horn bow had this effect.
[The appearance of a legend above legends is announced!]
Announcing the emergence of the greatest weapon. And Ian spotted about a hundred arrows being shot at the prisoners.
He immediately drew his bowstring.
Swooooosh-
[Before the greatest bow]
[All arrows shot within a 50m radius of where the arrow passed burn up.]
Ian, having burned all the arrows, immediately put a short arrow into his tonga.
The person who handled the horn bow best in Ares was none other than him.
Click-
[Hyeon’s fourteenth custom crafted bow and short arrow create synergy.]
[Accuracy and penetration power increase by 20%.]
And the horn bow that Hyeon gave him evokes Jumong himself.
In legend, Jumong is known to break through shooting ranges that others cannot achieve.
This bow makes that possible.
[Range increases by 90%.]
Furthermore.
‘Longer range means decreased accuracy.’
But this bow compensates for that point as well.
[Accuracy increases by 81%.]
Jumong’s own bow.
He released the bowstring.
The short arrow separated from the tonga struck the person called Kun at light speed.
And he immediately applied to join Guild Gwangmyeong.
[You have joined Guild Gwangmyeong.]
Ian smiled slightly.
[Ian: I will protect Hyeon-su.]
With the most powerful bow in the world.
Ian immediately looked at the Red Hood Guild, whose faces were clearly flustered.
[Ian: I’ll handle the Red Hood Guild, so don’t worry.]
[Hyeon-su: Will you be okay by yourself?]
Ian drew his bowstring.
Until recently, he was a user on the brink of downfall.
But now it was different.
‘I don’t know how far my power extends yet either.’
If one were to describe the current Ian, it would be like this.
[Ian Lv.???]
Immeasurable.
Ian currently possessed power that could not be measured by level alone.
He released the bowstring.
[Hyeon-su: Will you be alright on your own?]
[Ian: No problem.]
The Red Hood Guild was a guild that ranked within the top 200 in guild rankings.
Ian showed confidence even in battle against such a guild.
In fact, Hyeon-su was also curious about just how much power the current Ian could unleash.
There was one thing he was certain of.
Ian was a user who had already been ranked 1st.
Though someone new had taken his 1st place position, even that person would no longer be a match for Ian.
And Hyeon-su looked at Red Dragon Corps Leader Kun, who had been sent flying about 12 meters.
Hyeon-su’s current HP was only 20%.
[Red Dragon Corps Leader Kun Lv.351]
[HP drops below 92%.]
In contrast, Red Dragon Corps Leader Kun hadn’t taken much damage yet.
Hyeon-su’s current level was only in the 270s.
‘He’s the strongest enemy I’ve ever faced.’
Though all of his Red Dragon Corps members were now dead, that one person might be stronger than all those Red Dragon Corps members combined.
Hyeon-su checked his current status.
Most of his skills’ cooldown times hadn’t reset yet.
And Kun, who had gotten back up, looked toward where the prisoners were.
The prisoners who should have been massacred were feeling relieved.
And the Red Hood Guild was fighting against just one archer.
Kun realized that everything had gone awry.
And he saw the worried gazes of the prisoners looking at Hyeon-su.
The border area from not long ago.
Kun had also quietly admired the man called Hyeon.
A situation where defeat was inevitable.
He had muttered the words “I’d rather break than retreat” and created a breakthrough.
And knowing his unwavering will, Kun gripped his blade tightly and spoke.
“I’ll break you.”
Most miserably, most desperately.
[Master of Assassins]
[Movement speed and attack speed increase by 55%.]
The job class considered the most powerful dealers in Ares are the assassins.
Assassins are a class that has very low HP and defense but possesses 1.3 times higher damage than regular knights.
Moreover, their incredibly fast speed is an object of fear for all users.
Especially if it’s the leader of an assassination group, they become an even more fearsome opponent.
Swoooosh-
Kun passed by Hyeon-su before he could even activate a skill.
[You have been afflicted with deadly poison.]
[All stats temporarily decrease by 25%.]
[Attack speed and movement speed decrease by 40%.]
What makes assassins most troublesome is their overwhelming speed against opponents.
Also, when their target’s speed is reduced, assassins can literally overwhelm them.
Slash, slash slash slash, slash
Hyeon-su felt blades attacking from all directions.
Due to his reduced speed, he couldn’t respond to their movements.
Moreover, to others watching, the battle between Kun and Hyeon-su looked like nothing more than Kun, moving at the speed of light, ravaging Hyeon-su.
And that was indeed the case.
Kun was slicing as thinly as possible, cutting Hyeon-su to pieces.
And he targeted Hyeon-su’s lower body, making him lose his balance.
Thud-
Hyeon-su, who had lost his balance, knelt down on one knee.
“This is your true form.”
Kun asked.
“Are you broken?”
Walking while asking that question, Kun thought he had lost the will to fight.
At that moment, Hyeon-su swung his sword upward.
Swoosh-
Kun, who was cut in a moment of carelessness, realized he was still resilient.
Hyeon-su knew there weren’t many ways to escape this situation.
He was afflicted with deadly poison and his enemy was in good condition.
Also, his enemy was currently twice as fast as him and had a level overwhelmingly higher than his own.
But as always, he didn’t give up.
When the slashed Kun staggered, Hyeon-su got back up.
Then an unknown sound began buzzing in his ears.
‘I’d rather break than retreat.’
Was it the sound of his own muttering?
No.
This sound was being delivered by the system.
Kun showed a flustered expression.
“You cannot break me.”
Hyeon-su put all three grape berries in his mouth and chewed them.
I’d rather break than retreat.
“Without fail.”
And Hyeon-su had heard a notification dozens of times before.
The notification that a new story was beginning.
However, today a completely different notification was heard.
[A story for you begins.]
