I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 037
Which One Should I Choose (1)
Yubak Management.
The small office that hadn’t been moved yet.
‘This is absolutely insane.’
Yu Ji-a, holding a single chip taken from the recording equipment, still couldn’t understand it.
Even though Baek Jin-woo had really come out nonchalantly within 10 minutes and they’d even finished eating galbitang together, it still didn’t feel real.
‘Even if he’s Jinugod, still.’
Really clearing the 10th floor in under 10 minutes?
Yu Ji-a had made a system contract while eating galbitang.
Yu Ji-a, Kim Byeong-jin, Hwang Tae-seop.
These three must not leak the recorded content on this chip to anyone.
If violated, they would receive the system’s curse.
“Boss, I’m dying of curiosity.”
“What exactly did he do inside to come out in 10 minutes? Can’t we watch it quickly?”
The staff were excited at the thought of watching the recorded video.
Yu Ji-a felt the same way.
‘I heard the 10th floor boss, One-eyed, is supposed to be an incredible monster…’
Players who survived from there all say the same thing.
That S-grade monsters possess such powerful presence that you can’t see in any regular dungeon.
Those with weak mental fortitude would wet themselves just looking at its form and become unable to think.
“…Then, shall we turn on the video?”
“Yes!”
“Hurry!”
Gulp.
Yu Ji-a swallowed dry saliva and carefully inserted the chip into the device.
Then.
– GROOOOOOOOOOOOAR!
From the very beginning, One-eyed’s tremendous roar burst through the screen.
“Cr-crazy.”
“…That’s One-eyed.”
Even though it wasn’t seen in person but through 3D video, it was enough to make their knees weak…
What would it feel like for a player facing that thing in person?
“Wow, that’s terrifying. Even if someone told me to, I don’t think I could be a player. How do you deal with something like that?”
“Look at my forearm here. See the goosebumps? Ugh, just watching makes my skin crawl.”
Kim Byeong-jin and Hwang Tae-seop made a fuss back and forth.
The video continued.
Baek Jin-woo’s summons rushed out, and until they saw those summons getting beaten by ghouls.
“The situation doesn’t look good?”
“Yes, it looks really bad. He’s supposed to finish this situation in 10 minutes? How exactly?”
They couldn’t understand.
Only Yu Ji-a kept her gaze on Ramba and Hunkyo.
‘Talking summons.’
Moreover, in Ramba’s case, she was equipped with extremely expensive graduation runes.
Those two were Baek Jin-woo’s main force.
Unless they moved, you couldn’t see Baek Jin-woo’s true power.
And not long after.
– My lord, I’ll start moving now!
When Hunkyo rushed out.
“Huh?”
“D-did you just hear that? The summon is talking?”
The staff had the exact same reaction as Yu Ji-a that morning.
Mouths agape, pupils dilated expressions.
‘Ugh.’
Yu Ji-a shook her head.
‘Did I look like that in front of Jin-woo too?’
Thinking about it gave her slight chills.
She wanted to show only her good side.
“Don’t forget. We agreed to maintain confidentiality.”
“Did you know about this, boss?”
“I also found out this morning.”
“…!”
“For now, let’s talk about that later and continue watching.”
Yu Ji-a focused.
Just what kind of power did Ramba and Hunkyo possess to be able to deal with that absurdly terrifying monster in 10 minutes?
The answer came not long after.
“…!”
“…!”
Because Hunkyo, moving nimbly, gradually got faster and was instantly slaughtering that tremendous monster.
“Wh-what kind of ridiculous summon is that?”
“Its movements are incredibly fluid. How does it dodge those attacks like that… Huh? Wh-why is its speed like that?”
Baek Jin-woo’s actual gameplay video was truly shocking itself.
To the point where not being able to tell anyone about it would be regrettable.
No.
Even if they told someone, would they believe it?
“Is that sword-wielding summon some kind of S-grade summon?”
“…Haha, it’s shocking. I’d believe it if you said it was a bug.”
Yu Ji-a also couldn’t close her gaping mouth.
‘…This is Jinugod’s power?’
It was a sight that made her somewhat understand why world rankers feared Jinugod so much.
A player who hadn’t even properly started for half a year yet was producing this level of power?
In just a few more years, the world’s landscape would be turned upside down.
South Korea, which had been stuck in the deep sea, would rise to the surface, and the whole world would praise Baek Jin-woo.
Just like the current Rachel.
– GROOOOOOOOAR!
Finally, the video ended with Pokryong’s clean finishing blow.
Crackle!
Even after the screen cut off and quite some time had passed, the three figures remained silent for a while.
It took quite a while for their brains to accept reality!
“What exactly is he…? This person called Baek Jin-woo.”
“We keep working together, but I just don’t understand. How can someone be like that…”
“Even our country’s ranking 1st place isn’t to that extent, right?”
Yu Ji-a chuckled at Hwang Tae-seop’s question.
‘Domestic ranking 1st place, what…’
Even the world ranking 1st place probably couldn’t do that.
“Wow, at this level, it’s almost.”
Kim Byeong-jin continued with a sigh.
“Wouldn’t you believe it if someone said it was the return of Jinugod, who was only passed down in legends?”
“…”
Kim Byeong-jin and Hwang Tae-seop made eye contact.
Jinugod.
That word somehow sticks perfectly to my tongue.
Jinugod?
Jin-woo-god?
Jinu?
Jin-woo?
“…Huh?”
“Wait a minute, CEO… Jinugod?”
At the reaction of the two who were like Dumb and Dumber.
“Sigh.”
Yu Ji-a let out a quiet sigh.
‘Right, that’s normal thinking and judgment.’
Even if she wanted to hide it, she couldn’t.
Especially after deciding to share that video information…
Rather, wouldn’t you be an idiot not to know?
“I’m not certain, but there’s a high probability. Roughly 99.9% or higher?”
In the end, Yu Ji-a revealed her thoughts.
“However, I haven’t bothered to mention this to Player Baek Jin-woo. And I won’t in the future either. I plan to pretend I don’t know until he brings it up first.”
“Ah…”
“So you knew from the beginning, CEO?”
“Yes.”
Yu Ji-a smiled brightly.
“Now it’s starting to feel real, isn’t it?”
What kind of company you’ve entered after leaving headquarters.
Yubak Management will become the world’s greatest management company and one-person guild.
Perhaps even a group that could easily surpass Great Star in corporate value.
So be very surprised.
Since there will be more surprising things ahead, let’s build up some tolerance.
A beautiful evening with the sunset.
Baek Jin-woo didn’t head to the vacant lot.
The place he went to was none other than the Player Zone, Crafting Workshop.
‘There were two rewards I received from the 10th Floor this time.’
The list was as follows.
[King’s Seal (Bound) x 1]
[Ultimate Summoning Scroll x 1]
‘This is insane.’
It was insane looking at it once, and insane looking at it twice.
Well, the King’s Seal.
It’s a guaranteed drop material that’s always given when you defeat an S-rank boss every 10 floors, so that’s natural.
‘But an Ultimate Summoning Scroll!’
This is the highest grade summoning scroll you can see in Battle of Summoners.
A summoning scroll that drops with extremely low probability when you defeat Tower of Trials bosses.
Even during my Jinugod days, I couldn’t even get 10 of them.
‘How much would this sell for?’
I was curious so I looked around the marketplace, but I couldn’t determine a price at all.
There were many people wanting to buy, but no one selling.
[B-rank: 94%]
[A-rank: 5%]
[S-rank: 1%]
A summoning scroll that can summon an S-rank summon with 1% probability.
‘Should I open it?’
Who knows.
Maybe the 1% probability will give me an S-rank.
However.
Baek Jin-woo shook his head.
‘There’s no particular reason to open it right now.’
I’d be grateful if an S-rank came out, but there’s a 99% chance it won’t.
Moreover, right now I’m already struggling just to raise the EX-rank I have.
‘Let’s keep it for now.’
I briefly saw a post on the overseas marketplace offering 500 billion for it, but I wasn’t particularly interested.
If it had been Baek Jin-woo from a few months ago, he would have immediately gone to sell it, but now his desire for money was gradually disappearing.
Rather than money, he was more interested in runes or rare summons.
Anyway.
The reason Baek Jin-woo came to the crafting workshop wasn’t to tear open the Ultimate Summoning Scroll, but to craft a ‘Guaranteed Summoning Scroll’ (B-rank).
[Blueprint]
[Grade: B-rank]
[Craftable: ‘Guaranteed Summoning Scroll’ (B-rank)]
[Crafts a summoning scroll that can guarantee the summoning of a desired B-rank summon.]
[Required Materials: King’s Seal (Bound) x 1, Premium Summoning Scroll x 3, Advanced Summoning Scroll x 10, World Tree Leaf x 10]
‘I got the seal today, and I had some premium summoning scrolls left from before.’
Baek A-jin had bought the 10 advanced summoning scrolls and 10 World Tree leaves.
Having received those from her, he came straight to the crafting workshop.
[Welcome to the Crafting Workshop.]
[Try crafting good items using blueprints!]
“Sigh.”
Synthesis Chamber, Strengthening Room, Crafting Workshop.
Only the types were different, but the forms were all similar.
“Let’s get right to it.”
Baek Jin-woo inserted the blueprint and materials into the slots in order.
[Would you like to craft ‘Guaranteed Summoning Scroll’ (B-rank)?]
[Crafting Success Rate: 80%]
[Be careful!]
[Materials may be destroyed upon failure!]
[Y/N]
“Damn.”
What am I supposed to do if this gets destroyed?
Sometimes this is really a cruel game.
How much are those materials worth?
How hard was it to obtain them?
Premium summoning scrolls cost whatever people are willing to pay, and I spent a whopping 30 million won on those 10 advanced summoning scrolls.
Even the King’s Seal is a bound item that can’t be obtained anywhere else.
But well.
What choice do I have?
There’s no other way.
If I have to do it, I have to do it.
“Yes.”
[Drumroll!]
[Crafting in progress!]
The light that harmonized with various sound effects grew brighter and brighter, and then.
Flash!
[Success!]
[Congratulations!]
[You have obtained a ‘Guaranteed Summoning Scroll’ (B-rank)!]
“Kheueok!”
Baek Jin-woo let out the breath he had been holding.
Rather than joy, he felt relief.
What if that had been a failure?
Ugh.
He didn’t even want to imagine it, so he stopped imagining.
Baek Jin-woo, who had ridden his wyvern to arrive at the dim vacant lot, exhaled.
The reason he came here instead of going home was simple—to summon a creature.
‘Should I tear it open first?’
There was something he needed to check first.
Whether he could summon an EX-rank creature!
Riiip!
Baek Jin-woo boldly tore open the summoning scroll.
[Using ‘Guaranteed Summoning Scroll’ (B-rank)!]
[Player ‘Baek Jin-woo’ is selecting a summon!]
Whirrrrr!
That was the moment.
Countless summoning cards made of card material spread out before his vision.
Even at a rough glance, there were easily tens of thousands of them.
Are all of those B-rank?
‘They want me to find one from all these? How?’
[Please think of the summon you desire!]
The summon I desire.
Baek Jin-woo closed his eyes and thought of two summons.
The reaper of death who roamed battlefields with a razor-sharp scythe, the Gale Slayer.
And.
The blacksmith with a flowing white beard who struck anvils with a massive hammer, the Rune Dwarf.
Whirr, whirrr!
As Baek Jin-woo imagined them, the floating cards were organized in an instant, leaving only two cards behind.
“…!”
And on those cards, it was clearly written.
[‘Gale Slayer’ (EX-rank)]
[‘Rune Dwarf’ (EX-rank)]
‘It worked!’
This confirmed it.
He could draw EX-rank creatures even with guaranteed summoning scrolls.
The problem was.
Which summon to choose.
“Right. Which one should I pick between the two?”
The dilemma of a lifetime had begun.
