Chapter 201
201: Auction House Robbery (1)
[Analyzing the current situation.]
[Based on Analysis, it is determined that in your current state, it would be advantageous not to learn Grand Magic or Ascending Martial Arts.]
‘Huh?’
I couldn’t help but be taken aback by Analysis’s first opinion. Then, suddenly recalling previous messages that said I couldn’t do something now or recommended doing it later, I tilted my head, wondering if this was a continuation of that pattern.
In any case, I had never suffered a loss from anything Analysis had told me so far. In fact, everything I’d accomplished up to this point was thanks to Analysis.
I was about to brush it off with a resigned attitude when Analysis kindly explained the reason.
[According to Analysis, in a state where you have faintly acquired Transcendence, if you learn Grand Magic or Ascending Martial Arts of different characteristics, there is a possibility that the growth of your Vessel may be faintly blocked.]
It seemed Analysis had developed some sense of self after visiting the White Gate, and I was impressed by how clearly it was expressing its opinion. I acknowledged it, but I turned the matter over in my mind.
‘Hmm. So what you’re saying is… I currently have a Vessel capable of holding characteristics like the Ruin Dragon or the Plague Lord, and if I fill it with Grand Magic or Ascending Martial Arts, I might run out of space?’
As soon as I thought that, letters began appearing in midair as if delighted, and new text emerged.
[According to Analysis, that is the correct answer.]
I never imagined I’d be able to communicate with Analysis like this. It was certainly convenient, but there was a problem. If this continued, I would need to learn Grand Magic or Ascending Martial Arts first to understand them and then teach them to the others, but wouldn’t this mean I couldn’t teach them at all?
As I worried about this, Analysis stepped forward as expected.
[With Analysis, you can interpret Grand Magic and Ascending Martial Arts themselves without actually acquiring the skills.]
[Would you like to interpret Grand Magic—”Celestial Orbit Formula” and Ascending Martial Arts—”Platinum Sword” with Analysis?]
I nodded at that as if to say, why are you even asking? As I used Analysis, new letters appeared, and I felt two different characteristics stirring within my inner self.
Wondering what it was trying to do, I observed.
[Analyzing Characteristic 2 ‘Fusion’ and Characteristic 3 ‘Usurpation’.]
[Usurping the language written in “Two Textbooks”.]
[Fusing the current language you possess with “Two Textbooks”.]
[Successfully converting “Two Textbooks” entirely into your language, Korean.]
“…?”
Wait, it can do this too? Flabbergasted, I quickly looked at the textbooks and could see they were actually written in Korean.
At the same time, I was able to understand the very principle of how Ascending Martial Arts and Grand Magic were formed. Not the principles of the Celestial Orbit Formula and Platinum Sword specifically, but the principles of Ascending Martial Arts themselves and Grand Magic themselves.
‘Ah.’
What I had been unable to understand until now suddenly became clear to me, and I only now realized how simple it was—so much so that I wondered why I hadn’t known this before. And now I could finally understand perfectly why Analysis had discouraged me so strongly.
Grand Magic and Ascending Martial Arts are each a mental image in themselves. That’s why the Celestial Orbit Formula and Platinum Sword are the only options for Hanalin and Jiyuchan.
Their mental images were in a state where their characteristics were already determined.
But me?
‘Nothing has been decided for me yet.’
While I was gradually building and filling my mental image piece by piece, Analysis, which occupied the center of my mental image, valued my will above all else rather than becoming my mental image itself.
The newly arrived Fusion and Usurpation in my mental image were the same. No matter what happened, they never touched my mental image, and they existed within this mental image without trying to become the mental image itself.
Should I say they were simply waiting for their master, me?
Once I realized that much, I could understand what they meant by the Vessel. So the Vessel was…
‘A mental image.’
Once I understood that, I could see from the skills I obtained through Analysis, Fusion, and Usurpation—skills that would have become characteristics for anyone else—something crucial.
That my Vessel should never be filled with merely characteristics.
And that mental image was purely…
‘I must fill this void myself.’
The moment Dohyun reached that realization, the aura he had been concealing using the Reaper’s Eyes erupted outward like a geyser breaking through a dam.
Hanalin and Jiyuchan watched with trembling eyes as they stared at Dohyun.
The aura pouring from Dohyun’s body was far too vast and far too powerful to be called human. Was this what one felt when standing face-to-face with a natural disaster?
Kuoooooooooo———!!!
The aura surged from Dohyun like a geyser, piercing toward the heavens, and Hanalin and Jiyuchan, caught in the shockwave, exerted every ounce of their strength to resist being swept away.
Though they couldn’t fully comprehend what was happening, Hwang Hana was certain of one thing.
“Dohyun oppa is…”
“…going to become even stronger.”
She had heard that when Hunters experienced profound enlightenment, they would completely transcend their current rank, though typically such breakthroughs required reaching B-rank or A-rank. Yet here was Dohyun, merely a C-rank Hunter, experiencing such enlightenment and unleashing this tremendous aura.
Hanalin and Jiyuchan couldn’t help but feel a sense of urgency. Yet to avoid panic, they had no choice but to push themselves to their absolute limits.
And.
‘…If I become a burden…’
‘…I’ll step back on my own.’
‘…But.’
‘…I’ll follow no matter what!’
Both of them had reached the exact same conclusion—they could never be a hindrance to Dohyun. Yet as if death itself were preferable, their eyes began to shine with fierce determination.
Driven solely by the desire to maintain their party with Dohyun, they had each reached a point just one step away from enlightenment. Had anyone witnessed this, they would have said Dohyun had shattered the wall of genius, and that this was the result of both of them pushing themselves to their absolute limits with the resolve to die.
Even for geniuses, such enlightenment was a rare occurrence.
As they witnessed Dohyun’s moment of enlightenment and inscribed their own understanding, yearning, and purpose into their hearts, Dohyun opened his eyes.
And.
“Ah.”
It was a voice tinged with regret, yet within it lay a certain refreshment. Watching Hanalin and Jiyuchan rushing toward him, pushed back by the aura’s distance, Dohyun thought to himself.
‘Hmm, I might actually fall behind them.’
Why would Dohyun harbor the same thought as those two despite having just achieved enlightenment? The reason was simple.
‘Building a mental realm is difficult.’
This time, unlike before, he had to construct it himself without the aid of Analysis. Yet those two, without such assistance, would master the Celestial Orbit Formula and the Platinum Sword just as Dohyun had done with a single click—essentially creating their mental realms in an instant. For this moment, Dohyun judged he might indeed fall behind.
Of course, Dohyun wouldn’t take it lying down, but he too couldn’t help but share the same thought as Hanalin and Jiyuchan.
He resolved to push himself harder so as not to fall behind those two who would reach the realm of mental imagery first.
The three of them were unaware that they were caught in a virtuous cycle, each positively influencing the other, yet through their mutual regard and shared aspirations, they were accelerating their own growth exponentially.
Had any who possessed transcendence witnessed these three in this moment, they might have thought that this—right now—was perhaps the catalyst for transcending beyond monstrosity and obtaining true ‘Transcendence.’
“Let’s all do our best!”
“Yes!”
“Let’s go!!!”
All of them responded to Dohyun’s rallying cry, and he quickly handed the manuals to them. Hanalin and Jiyuchan’s eyes widened at the sight of the manuals transformed into Korean.
Though this was the first time Dohyun had displayed such an ability, why did it feel somewhat familiar? Hanalin and Jiyuchan nodded as if they had grown accustomed to it.
And as Dohyun watched Hanalin and Jiyuchan take the manuals and distance themselves to study together, he too began moving forward with growth, building upon the enlightenment he had just achieved.
‘I’m the party leader—I can’t fall behind.’
Though the roles had reversed from who was clicking, Dohyun was confident.
‘I’ll create a mental realm that will astound them.’
There might have been a sense of helplessness at having to build everything from scratch, but Dohyun felt no such thing. Rather, because it was something he had to do himself, he found it all the more intriguing and enjoyed it.
The recent insight had given him some direction, and he could proceed by acting on that foundation.
And first, to do that.
‘I need to pick up some decent weapons at the Auction House.’
The auction opening tomorrow had become the most crucial moment for Dohyun.
* * *
Safe Zone Baul.
True to its position at the center, the Safe Zone displayed remarkably advanced civilization and conveyed the vibrant atmosphere of a thriving city quite well. The presence of a shipyard and even a massive Department Store—something absent in Pureair—made it clear just how prosperous this place was.
Particularly, a considerable number of Hunters were constantly flowing in and out of this enormous Department Store, and this was precisely because it was what could truly be called a Hunter Department Store, just like on Earth.
It was no different from a real department store. Most of the shops operating here were merchants who had contracts with high-end blacksmiths or alchemists, making it an entirely different level from the vendors in Pureair or its surroundings who simply laid out their wares on wooden boards.
In fact.
“I apologize, but our Department Store does not permit customers with fewer than 500,000 Points to enter.”
Using a Stone Tablet right in front of the Department Store to authenticate Points, an exclusive policy had been implemented that allowed entry only upon verification.
In other words.
“Huh, there were that many Hunters with 500,000 Points or more?”
“C-rank Hunters sure have plenty of wealth.”
“Right, that’s what I’m saying.”
“Huh. I’ll have to save up a lot of money and go in there myself later.”
“I agree.”
“I heard the treatment inside the Department Store is incredible.”
Because not just anyone could enter, it was perfect for inspiring envy in other Hunters. Some saw it and made it their goal, but a few, consumed by jealousy, spat at the sight and openly resented it.
However, an unusually large number of people were entering the Department Store with its exclusive policy today, and seeing this, the Alpaca Humanoid asked the Horse Humanoid about it.
“Say, why are so many people entering today?”
“Oh, you didn’t know? Isn’t today that day?”
“What day are you talking about?”
“Today is when the Auction House opens, isn’t it?”
“Ah!? Has it already been that long?”
The Auction House was a special event held in Safe Zone Baul, so the Alpaca Humanoid and Horse Humanoid’s reactions were hardly surprising.
Rather.
“Huh, there’ll be plenty of incidents today.”
“I heard all the villain hideouts were cleaned out yesterday—what could happen?”
“Yeah, that’s true too.”
As the two chattered and passed in front of the Department Store, there were three figures standing before it, dressed in deep robes and gazing at the Department Store building with unusual eyes.
With expressions as if they were about to cause trouble, the Department Store Guard frowned and tried to call more colleagues through his device. Wondering if they might be that type of person. But then all three placed their hands on the Stone Tablet.
『C』
『31,572,992P』
『C』
『11,164,218P』
『C』
『10,921,832P』
“Huh?!”
An enormous number of points materialized before me, and the man standing at the forefront, his robes pulled low over his face, spoke.
“We may enter, yes?”
The man’s identity was, of course, Dohyun.
