I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 027
Family Care Service (2)
‘What?’
Why is Yu Ji-a following me…?
All we did was meet once and exchange greetings… though to say that.
‘I did send the request first.’
That was short-sighted of me.
She’s such a power influencer with so many followers that I just pressed follow out of fan sentiment, but as the representative of “Yubak,” she might have accepted it as part of managing her own players.
Since I’m Baek Jin-woo’s family after all.
“Haha, right.”
In the end, Baek A-jin scratched her head, having nothing to say in front of her friends.
“Right…?”
“Hey! Riiiight? This isn’t something that can be explained with just that kind of reaction!”
“How do you two know each other? Are you close?”
“Crazy. Why didn’t you tell us until now!”
Baek A-jin always received a lot of attention, but her friends’ reaction that day was absolutely explosive.
Baek A-jin felt her shoulders rise with pride while also feeling troubled.
She had promised her brother, and he told her every time they met.
For now, please don’t go around telling people about his existence.
‘Seriously.’
He should stay moderately famous if he doesn’t want me to talk about it.
She just told her friends that they happened to meet once, and he seemed to think well of her.
Naturally, none of her friends believed it, but what could she do—that was the truth.
And.
The meeting with Yu Ji-a would happen sooner than expected.
[Yu Ji-a: A-jin? Could we possibly meet for a moment?]
A direct DM from her!
“Kyaaah!”
That day.
Baek A-jin made bird sounds.
Because she was so happy.
Hannam-dong.
Baek A-jin, who had boldly taken the day off, waited for someone on the street.
Before long.
Screech!
A sleek car stopped in front of her.
Great Star Automotive’s premium line.
It was Yu Ji-a’s car.
“Get in.”
“Ah, yes!”
A very nervous Baek A-jin got into the passenger seat.
‘She’s quite modest.’
I thought a chaebol granddaughter would use an expensive foreign car with a driver.
A domestic car and she even drives herself?
‘Well.’
If you’re a chaebol, cars probably aren’t that important.
Whether it’s domestic or foreign, it wouldn’t be that expensive for them.
In reality, Yu Ji-a owned so many cars she had a personal collection, but there was no way for Baek A-jin to know that.
“So.”
Baek A-jin asked.
“You’re saying you want to see our family? Without my brother. Just us.”
Yu Ji-a and Baek A-jin had exchanged many messages via DM before meeting.
“Yes. Jin-woo has been so busy lately. I asked if it would be okay to send gifts to his family under Yubak’s name, and he said it was fine.”
“Wow, but you’re going to deliver the gifts personally?”
“Yes, since I’m the representative.”
From that one statement, she could feel it.
What kind of mindset Yu Ji-a had toward treating Baek Jin-woo.
How sincerely and wholeheartedly she was thinking about it.
A normal company would just send gifts by delivery and be done with it.
That’s why she accepted.
She was also curious about the gifts.
“I told mom and dad not to go to work today. Said I had someone to introduce.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
“I hate to say this about my parents, but they’re really amazing people. They still don’t even know their son is that famous!”
“Really?”
“Yes, they probably wouldn’t lose to anyone in the world when it comes to being oblivious.”
The two chatted lightly as they headed to the house.
To the villa complex, that neighborhood where Baek Jin-woo used to live.
When they passed through the narrow path and saw the very old apartment building.
“…”
Yu Ji-a was honestly surprised.
‘There are still people living in places like this.’
In some ways it might be an ordinary house, but for her as a chaebol, the real common people’s life she had never experienced was unfolding before her eyes.
Spider webs hanging at the entrance.
An old bicycle left abandoned with dust accumulated on it.
The homey smell wafting from various places.
Ding dong!
When they opened the door and entered, two people, a man and woman, greeted them with smiles.
Baek Jin-chul and Hwang Myeong-hee.
They were Baek Jin-woo’s parents.
“Oh my.”
Hwang Myeong-hee in particular was startled the moment she saw Yu Ji-a’s face.
“How can such a pretty young lady exist? Is she Jin-a’s friend?”
“Haha, mom. She’s not a friend.”
“Huh? Not a friend?”
Baek A-jin had only told them she had someone to introduce.
So her parents had no idea who Yu Ji-a was.
Yu Ji-a, who had entered the house, politely greeted them.
“Hello. I’m Yu Ji-a from Yubak.”
“Yubak?”
“Yu Ji-a?”
When mom and dad looked puzzled, Baek A-jin sighed.
As expected.
They don’t know anything.
If they paid attention to the news, there’s no way they wouldn’t know this person.
“Sigh, mom.”
Finally, Baek A-jin began explaining.
She had made up her mind from the moment she decided to bring Yu Ji-a here.
To tell them everything about what kind of player her brother was.
‘Even if I can’t tell my friends, family should know.’
The older brother who said he would tell them soon was always just going around dungeons, and when he had already said it was okay to send gifts to Yu Ji-a under the Yubak name, it was probably something he had already prepared himself for.
She turned on her phone and showed them all the videos and articles she had collected about her brother.
The relationship between Baek Jin-woo and Yubak, as well as information about Yu Ji-a, was neatly organized.
“Is, is that really true?”
“Our Jin-woo is… such a famous Player? Oh my, his face is plastered all over the news?”
“A South Korean record? Haha, does that even make sense?”
The parents, who didn’t believe it at first, had no choice but to believe after checking the materials.
Yu Ji-a bowed her head again.
“Yes, so I came to see you both as the representative of Yubak who takes care of Player Baek Jin-woo.”
“…Huh.”
Baek Jin-chul let out a quiet sigh.
Now he knew for certain who this young lady was.
‘A member of the Daeseong Group family.’
No matter how dense you were, you couldn’t live in South Korea without knowing Daeseong.
A conglomerate among conglomerates.
A company that feeds the nation!
Honestly, Baek Jin-chul was flustered.
He was so surprised he couldn’t even react properly.
How could such an esteemed person come directly to such a humble place?
“Father. According to our contract with your son, our company has an obligation to sincerely care for you both.”
“Us?”
“Yes, would you like to read this?”
Yu Ji-a handed over a pamphlet.
A family care system designed directly by Yubak.
From security to a new house, regular living expense support and medical support…
“Haha.”
“What is all this?”
Hwang Myeong-hee’s eyes widened.
She was especially shocked by the mention of 10 million won in monthly living expenses, almost fainting.
‘Does this make sense? Isn’t this a hidden camera show?’
How difficult had it been all this time.
Working three jobs to support the family, her wrists were already ruined.
Her skin was full of wrinkles.
No one wants to do hard work because they like it.
She had just been moving for survival.
“Is, is this really true?”
“Yes, you don’t need to be so surprised. Compared to the profits we gain through Player Baek Jin-woo, this is just minor support.”
“Huh…”
It felt like she was dreaming.
It had to be.
Did it make sense that her son, who had been in a coma for 3 years due to illness, woke up and immediately became a renowned Player in South Korea?
If she told her friends right now, they would laugh and tell her to stop talking nonsense.
“Oh, and… I’ve prepared personal gifts in addition to this.”
“Gifts?”
“I heard that Father really likes summoned creatures?”
“Uh, that… I think you’re talking about the Pebble Golem.”
Baek Jin-chul scratched his head.
He felt a bit embarrassed.
It felt like just yesterday he was bragging about his E-grade Pebble Golem…
“Let’s go outside first!”
In front of the apartment, at the playground.
The first thing Yu Ji-a brought out there was.
– Awoooooooo!
A Shadow Wolf roaring majestically.
“Wow! What is this!”
Baek A-jin got excited.
A 500 million won B-grade summoned creature!
She had been expecting it since her brother said he would give it to her, but honestly she had been giving up since there was no news.
500 million won was easy to say.
Some people would never even touch that amount in their lifetime.
Honestly, she thought she already owed her brother a lot just from getting 20% from selling runes.
“This is my personal gift. I heard from Jin-woo. That A-jin would like it.”
“Really… is it okay for me to have this?”
“Of course.”
Yu Ji-a smiled brightly and handed gifts to Baek Jin-chul and Hwang Myeong-hee as well.
“This is…”
The summoned creature Hwang Myeong-hee received was a B-grade Rainbow Snail.
“What is this?”
“It’s hard to obtain, so I got it with difficulty. The skill description is written there, so read it gradually.”
The summoned creature Baek Jin-chul received was a B-grade Diamond Golem.
“It’s similar in size to the Pebble Golem, but the strength will be on a different level.”
“Huh, hahaha… Thank you. All thanks to my son.”
He couldn’t know exactly how much this was worth, but it looked quite valuable.
Honestly, burden and happiness coexisted.
In times like this, Baek Jin-chul just preferred to joke around.
“You won’t ask for a refund later, will you?”
“Haha, I would have given you more if anything, that will absolutely never happen.”
After the gift presentation ceremony ended.
“Have a meal before you go. It must be time to get hungry.”
Hwang Myeong-hee grabbed Yu Ji-a and pulled her in.
“Mom. What meal!”
Baek A-jin tried to stop her, but.
“Shall we? Actually, my stomach has been growling since earlier.”
Hehe.
The atmosphere softened with Yu Ji-a’s charm as she stuck out her tongue slightly and smiled.
At that moment.
Baek Jin-woo was still out conquering dungeons with Pokryong.
These days he was so focused on just this that he had no energy to pay attention to other matters.
[Summoned Creature: Explosive Dragon Mage]
[Race: Human]
[Grade: EX-grade (Isolation Judgment)]
– Isolated due to balance-breaking elements discovered in specific situations.
[Level: 42]
[Possessed Stats]
Strength: 20, Intelligence: 85, Stamina: 20, Agility: 20
HP: 22,000, MP: 500
Critical Hit Rate: 55%
Critical Hit Damage: 185%
[Possessed Skills]
– Pokryong Faction: Spews dragon-shaped flames forward.
Now the runes were reasonably enhanced, and my level had risen quite a bit too.
The runes had good options, so my damage output was decent.
“Still far from mastering Yeon?”
– That’s right. Since I learned it once before, I thought it would work if I just leveled up… But I’m gradually getting the hang of it.
Pokryong was quite enthusiastic.
However.
My damage had increased, and I’d used Pokryong Faction so much that proficiency should be quite full… Strangely, the skill wasn’t appearing.
‘I need to learn Yeon quickly to move to the next stage.’
I should gradually switch to intermediate Weekly Dungeons, and most importantly…
‘Tower of Trials.’
Baek Jin-woo’s eyes gleamed.
It was about time to challenge the Tower of Trials.
‘Rachel said she’s on the 29th floor, right?’
Even if that level was too much.
Up to the 10th floor was manageable with my current strength.
‘If only Pokryong learns Yeon.’
While I could make up for lacking damage with control, it’s hard to clear if damage is too insufficient.
The only solution to break through that was Pokryong.
The Tower of Trials was a dungeon that Baek Jin-woo absolutely had to clear.
Befitting its tremendous difficulty, the rewards were amazing.
It gave unique rewards on a completely different level from before, but even veteran players didn’t know much about these rewards.
It couldn’t be helped.
You could only claim rewards once per floor, the reward contents changed each time, and there were too few test subjects since most users had quit.
However, one thing was certain.
It gave unique rewards that couldn’t be obtained from existing Regular Dungeons or Weekly Dungeons.
‘Whatever comes out will be a great help to me right now.’
For that, our Pokryong needed to learn that skill quickly.
– Don’t worry, Jin-woo! I’ll definitely learn it and have chicken and beer!
“Yeah, yeah. Take your time. If you’re impatient, even things that would work won’t work.”
Whoooosh!
Today too, Pokryong Faction’s flames decorated the dungeon.
