I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 065
Korea-Japan Friendship Match (1)
Clang!
Runde brought down his hammer with precision.
Drip!
His forehead was covered with flowing sweat.
‘Masterpiece Creation.’
The ultimate latent ability that forced Runde to be isolated in the past!
The rare and unique runes that Lv.1 can create are strictly limited.
[This is the list of masterpieces you can create.]
[Rampage (Rare), Omnipotent (Rare), Howling (Rare), Emperor (Rare), Trinity (Unique)]
Five per level.
When reaching Lv.2, another 5 will be unlocked.
The runes here require tremendous materials that are on a completely different level from runes that can be made through existing crafting, but the success rate is 100%.
‘Jackpot.’
The reason Jinugod was able to establish himself as the overwhelming rank 1 in the past was precisely thanks to this ‘Masterpiece Creation.’
‘Hehehe.’
Baek Jin-woo found it hard to suppress the laughter that kept bubbling up.
Just think about it.
Summoned creatures adorned only with the finest runes that can be extracted from there.
‘Damn, that’s insane.’
Moreover, those are things that only he can create in this world.
Just by extracting those and giving them only to people he wants, he can possess tremendous power!
‘I’ll slowly make them all, but for now.’
“Hunkyo.”
– Yes, my lord.
“Come here.”
Baek Jin-woo immediately removed the omnipotent rune that Hunkyo was wearing.
After that.
“Runde, what materials are needed to make a supreme trinity rune?”
– Hehe, wait just a moment.
[These are the materials for a Supreme Trinity (Unique) rune.]
[Enhanced Supreme Omnipotent Rune x1, Supreme Omnipotent Rune x2]
‘As expected.’
Nothing had changed.
He could make a trinity rune with 3 omnipotent runes!
– Are you already giving me a chance to use Masterpiece Creation?
Runde’s eyes sparkled.
For him as a blacksmith, swinging a hammer was the most enjoyable thing, and especially the rarer and more difficult the work, the greater the pleasure.
“What’s there to say. Here.”
Baek Jin-woo laid out all 18 prepared omnipotent runes.
– Huh, gasp! 18 rare runes? And they’re all omnipotent!
Runde let out a happy scream.
Starting with unique rune crafting would allow him to build tremendous proficiency.
“Can you make them right away?”
– Of course! If I take one day per rune, just wait exactly 6 days!
“Okay, proceed immediately.”
This was exactly the moment.
The point of moving beyond world rankers toward becoming truly insurmountable.
Recently, the atmosphere inside Arirang and Carpe Diem had completely changed.
‘Exercise without fail!’
Whether executives or guild members.
They were made to build basic stamina and strength.
“Why are they suddenly acting like this?”
“We just need to raise our summoned creatures well, why make us exercise…”
“The guild master told us to do it, so what choice do we have. If he says do it, we have to do it.”
After giving a certain period, those who don’t pass the conditions receive a warning.
Three accumulated warnings?
Obviously expulsion!
Players had no choice but to follow reluctantly.
Getting kicked out of a major guild for not exercising would be incredibly embarrassing.
They even changed the admission test to give higher scores for physical fitness.
“We should have done this from the beginning.”
Whew.
Oh Sun-young muttered as she wiped her sweat while exhaling.
She and Baek Jin-woo’s other three disciples had finished another satisfying training session and were returning.
Now it wasn’t just players who trained.
Summoned creatures trained together too.
Naturally, the training was supervised by Hunkyo, and they were set to follow his commands as top priority.
“Unnie.”
Hong Ari called out to Oh Sun-young.
“Yeah?”
“Honestly, don’t you feel wronged?”
“About what.”
“If we did the Multi-player Tournament again, we could definitely make the national team.”
“…I suppose so.”
If they went back to the past, they would have avoided Baek Jin-woo first.
Then they would have easily made the national team.
“But rather than feeling wronged, I’m satisfied.”
She was sincere.
She was a wolf enthusiast.
Therefore, all her summoned creatures were wolves.
Naturally, when you insist on a single species, there are bound to be shortcomings and weaknesses.
Recently, she had greatly felt those limitations and had even considered breaking that stubbornness.
But?
After Baek Jin-woo became her master, all her worries disappeared.
‘What an amazing person.’
Even using only wolf-type summoned creatures, he not only covered all critical weaknesses but also taught her how to counter using those weaknesses.
Moreover?
The wolves that Baek Jin-woo controlled were on a different level.
Just being able to imitate that would be satisfying enough.
She was certain.
If things continued like this just a little longer, Arirang would catch up to Baekho.
Under Baek Jin-woo would be Arirang, and then Carpe Diem.
“Thank you.”
Oh Sun-young looked at Gi Jae-hyeok.
“Huh?”
Gi Jae-hyeok blinked.
“It’s thanks to you guys. Because you suggested we come here together back then, Ari and I were able to develop.”
“Come on, why are you being so formal all of a sudden.”
“I’m serious.”
If he hadn’t met Baek Jin-woo, he would have been left behind as time passed.
Forget the national team.
It might have been difficult to even maintain his ranker status.
But now.
Honestly, he felt like he could put up a good fight even against Kang Geon-ho, the domestic ranking 1st place.
‘Of course.’
After facing Baek Jin-woo every day, suddenly a 1-on-1 with Kang Geon-ho?
He already felt at ease.
It felt like all the pressure had completely disappeared.
“If you’re serious, then buy us all food.”
“Food?”
“Yes, do you know? Recently a large chicken restaurant opened across from Yogi Yubaek City.”
“…?”
“I heard rumors that Jin-woo hyung’s father runs it?”
What?
Player Baek Jin-woo’s father?
Oh Sun-young’s eyes widened.
Gi Jae-hyeok already knew such precious information?
She felt truly grateful to Baek Jin-woo.
To the extent that she would help him unconditionally if he asked.
But Baek Jin-woo was perfect.
Honestly, he was doing so well that he didn’t need her help at all.
“Let’s go. I’ll treat you.”
In such a situation, his family opened a chicken restaurant?
She couldn’t let that slide.
Especially since Baek Jin-woo was famous for cherishing his family!
She would completely shower them with generosity!
‘Let’s even feed the wolves.’
Rankers made a lot of money.
Especially if you were a sub-guild master of a major guild.
Chicken?
No matter how much they ordered, it wouldn’t be a burden.
She’d go today and spend about 100 million won.
「Baek’s Chicken」
“Welcome!”
Park Jong-hun, wearing an apron, greeted them loudly.
He was Baek Jin-chul’s friend.
He had been loading and unloading packages at the logistics center when Baek Jin-chul’s recommendation made him co-CEO of the chicken restaurant.
Of course, the shares were 90% Baek Jin-chul’s and 10% his.
“Huh? Players Hong Ari and Oh Sun-young…?”
Park Jong-hun’s eyes widened as he was greeting them.
The four people who entered were too famous.
“Even Gi Jae-hyeok and Kang Ji-ho…!”
All four were rankers so famous in South Korea that you’d be a spy if you didn’t know them.
‘Indeed.’
Gulp.
Park Jong-hun swallowed.
Actually, he had already heard.
The fact that Baek Jin-chul’s son was the famous Player Baek Jin-woo.
He was so shocked then that he lived for a while unable to close his gaping mouth.
After that, Park Jong-hun pledged loyalty to Baek Jin-chul.
Loyalty and all that aside.
He was determined never to leave his side.
Though calculating, it was an unavoidable choice for an ordinary person.
‘What incredible connections.’
Just by staying close to him and receiving even the tiniest crumbs, three generations could live comfortably and luxuriously.
Missing that opportunity would be foolish.
“This way please! I’ll guide you to a good seat.”
“Yes, by any chance, is the person who runs this place….”
When Oh Sun-young asked carefully.
“Hahaha, you’re asking about Jin-chul!”
Baek Jin-chul.
Now he was the father of the famous Baek Jin-woo.
Oh Sun-young’s expression became even more respectful at Park Jong-hun’s words calling Baek Jin-chul’s name like a friend.
“Yes, that’s right. We’ll order a lot today!”
“Oh my, yes!”
The moved Park Jong-hun bowed deeply.
‘They said her personality was like ice, but she’s completely kind.’
As expected.
You had to filter what the media said.
“I’ll fry them up deliciously!”
「Baek’s Chicken」 was quite large.
The entire 3-story building in the best location across from Yubaek City was the chicken restaurant, and there were many staff members.
It couldn’t be helped.
Yu Ji-a had pulled all the strings.
Especially the 3rd floor was a VIP room, a space prepared for rankers or celebrities who were uncomfortable meeting ordinary people.
Oh Sun-young’s group headed there.
“Eat as much as you want. You can even summon your creatures and feed them.”
“What’s gotten into you, unnie? Our kids eat a lot….”
“It’s fine.”
If they ate a lot, it would actually be better.
She could boost the sales significantly.
“You guys order a lot too. Hunkyo said so. After intense exercise, you need to eat a lot.”
“Yes, noona!”
“Then we’ll really order everything?”
Gi Jae-hyeok and Kang Ji-ho were excited.
That’s when they were ordering food.
Creak!
The door opened and a group of people entered.
There were four of them, and judging by their conversation, they seemed to be Japanese.
“Japanese?”
Hong Ari tilted her head.
“Why are Japanese people here?”
It was a bit strange.
This wasn’t Seoul or a famous tourist destination, but Hanam.
And in the sparsely populated Geomdan Mountain development area, what were the chances of Japanese people coming?
Guided by the 3rd floor resident staff, they seemed to be led to another room, which happened to be the room next door.
That’s when it happened.
– Grrr.
Oh Sun-young’s Fenrir (A-rank) let out a low howl.
“Huh.”
Hong Ari blinked her eyes.
“They must be Players? And pretty skilled ones at that.”
Fenrir has the ability to sense threatening targets.
What does that mean?
It means those Japanese people are quite skilled.
“Shh, shh! Come here.”
Oh Sun-young tried to calm the wolf down.
Whoever the opponent was.
Making people uncomfortable with summons in a public place would be inconsiderate.
– Grrrrr….
“Tsk, it won’t listen.”
Since it still wouldn’t obey, she just reverse-summoned it.
No chicken for you.
“What could it be?”
Hong Ari was curious.
Doesn’t this smell fishy?
Japan is strong enough to be called one of the world’s top 5 summoning powers….
Players from such a country are hanging around near Yubaek?
It’s extremely strange.
Knock knock.
That’s when it happened.
“Excuse me?”
One of the Japanese stood up and knocked on the room door.
Strangely, it was being translated so they could understand.
“You seem to be fellow Players, so if it’s not rude, may I ask you something?”
“….”
The four rankers looked at each other.
A strange silence fell.
“There might be some misunderstanding. I am Takahashi Shusuke from Japan.”
Takahashi Shusuke!
Hong Ari and Oh Sun-young’s eyes widened.
He’s a celebrity.
Japan’s 3rd ranked player and 30th in the world rankings!
Why is he here?
Anyone up to world ranking 100 is a person of interest that countries manage thoroughly.
It would be a disaster if they committed terrorism.
‘Of course.’
If someone as big as Shusuke seriously planned terrorism, South Korea would have no answer either.
Korea couldn’t even properly handle domestic ranker gangs.
To begin with, domestic 1st place Kang Geon-ho is outside the world’s top 100.
Creak!
Eventually, Gi Jae-hyeok stood up and opened the room door.
A middle-aged man was standing there, with a translator bird on his shoulder.
As expected.
That bird was what made the proper translation possible!
The middle-aged Takahashi Shusuke had an impressive presence.
He was quite handsome and had a sturdy build.
“What business does a Japanese person, and a world-class ranker at that, have in this area?”
Hong Ari’s expression was full of wariness as she stood up and asked.
