Chapter 33
Chapter 33: Promotion Already? (1)
[Two or more of your stats have exceeded the threshold for this Zone.]
[You may advance to the next Zone.]
‘A promotion already?’
Dohyun opened his status window the moment he saw the message.
『Dohyun』

▶「AP: 1230↑」
‘Wow.’
If I didn’t promote, I’d certainly be farming weaklings in this place—my status window was undeniably overpowered.
Remaining in the F-rank Zone would be completely unbalanced at this point.
So what about the other two’s status windows?
The thought crossed my mind, and I opened Jiyuchan’s and Hanalin’s status windows as well.
『Jiyuchan』
『Trait: Platinum Sword King [S]』
『Skills』
▶「Swordsmanship [A]」
▶「Sword King’s Intuition [A]」

『Hanalin』
『Trait: Sorceress Supreme [S]』
『Skills』

『Stats』
▶「Strength: 13▶15」
▶「Agility: 16▶18」
▶「Stamina: 15▶16」
▶「Mana: 32」
▶You are in good condition to rank up.
Seeing the message recommending rank-up even appeared, it seemed all three had met the criteria—as if the system understood exactly what I wanted.
Looking at both their stats and abilities, these three were formidable, so there was nothing particularly surprising about it.
Still, I hadn’t expected them to rank up on their very first day.
This was unforeseen, but it was a welcome development nonetheless.
After all, whether it was me, Jiyuchan, or Hanalin, growth would be difficult while operating in the F-rank Zone. In fact, while Hanalin’s physical stats had increased, her mana hadn’t—look at that.
Jiyuchan’s other stats had risen too, but soon they would plateau. In that case, ranking up around now might actually be far more beneficial.
As I fell into such contemplation, Hanalin and Jiyuchan approached and tilted their heads in confusion.
‘What’s he thinking so hard about?’
‘He’s not the type to feel guilty about killing them.’
They were internally treating me like some kind of psychopath, but they weren’t entirely wrong. I wasn’t the type to be consumed by guilt over catching some villains. Besides, thanks to Analysis, I’d been experiencing everything with a game-like sensation. In any case, as the two of them were tilting their heads, I suddenly spoke to them as they approached.
“I think we need to head to the next area.”
“…?”
“…Already?”
“Yeah. I think it’s time to rank up.”
It hadn’t even been a full day since we arrived—not even half a day had passed.
Ranking up in less than two hours of arrival was an unprecedented pace.
Even Jiyuchan and Hanalin, who were always confident in their abilities, couldn’t help but show expressions tinged with concern.
Unlike me, they didn’t have Analysis, so they couldn’t gauge their exact stats, which was understandable in a way.
Separate from how much they trusted me, I was also experiencing the Black Gate for the first time.
Because of that, both of them voiced their objections.
That’s why both of them presented differing opinions.
“Isn’t that a bit too soon?”
“Even if we’re skilled, shouldn’t we explore the F-rank Zone a bit more first?”
Even Hanalin, who had been so confident moments ago, was suggesting caution. But Dohyun responded with unwavering conviction.
“Well, it doesn’t seem like a Subordinate has triggered yet, but it will soon enough. At most…”
Dohyun trailed off as he glanced at the message floating in midair.
[Subordinate Creation in 9:58:12]
Roughly ten hours remaining. Analysis truly was divine.
As Dohyun observed this, the other two regarded him with puzzled expressions, unable to comprehend how he knew.
Though they wondered if a Subordinate would really trigger as Dohyun predicted, Hanalin found herself compelled to suggest an alternative.
“Then we should verify it with the Stone Tablet. Dohyun, or rather—we’ll know for certain either way.”
“Hm?”
“Eh?”
“….”
When Hanalin hesitated mid-sentence, both Jiyuchan and Dohyun turned to look at her. Her ears had flushed slightly, but neither paid it any mind.
Regardless, Hanalin’s suggestion made sense.
The Stone Tablet she mentioned was used to verify whether one qualified to advance to the next Zone, and it could also gauge a person’s accumulated points—making it one of the most frequently used items.
It was practically an indispensable tool within the Black Gate.
In any case, the Stone Tablet was positioned at the center of every Safe Zone, so they could check their current level and collected points there. Hanalin had suggested this for exactly that reason.
Both Jiyuchan and Dohyun nodded in agreement.
“I think so too.”
“It’s the most reliable method.”
“Well then, shall we head there?”
At Hanalin’s words, the two nodded and decided to turn back.
Originally, Dohyun had considered hunting more, but if he could rank up, advancing to the next Zone would be far more advantageous.
Staying here longer would only expose him to F-rank Hunters and Monsters, yielding nothing new through Analysis.
Even if there were gains, the E-rank Zone would offer the same rewards, so moving forward sooner was better.
Thus, Dohyun’s party headed back toward Safe Zone Muel, and before long, they arrived at the Central area.
Though they had first arrived at the Central Plaza, it remained crowded with people.
The alleys branching from the Central Plaza were lined with stalls, bustling with activity, and the plaza itself was densely packed with crowds.
Dohyun surveyed the surroundings, thinking it a goldmine.
But a disheartening message appeared.
[You cannot acquire AP through Analysis in this Zone.]
“Tsk.”
Well, it had been too good to be true until now.
As Dohyun clicked his tongue in disappointment, Hanalin and Jiyuchan tilted their heads, wondering why, but didn’t dwell on it.
It wasn’t important at the moment anyway.
In the Central Plaza where they arrived stood an enormous stone monument, emanating an otherworldly aura.
Seeing it,
[Analyzing 『Fragment of the Black Gate』.]
『Fragment of the Black Gate』
▶「These are fragments of the Black Gate that came into existence when the Black Gate was born.」
▶「If you place your hand upon it, you can discern your current rank and the precise numerical value of your points.」
‘Interesting.’
I’d heard that no one could identify the true nature of that black stone tablet, yet my Analysis revealed it the moment I laid eyes upon it.
I found this genuinely astounding and stood gazing at it blankly when Hanalin and Jiyuchan, observing my dazed expression, spoke.
“It’s our turn.”
“Let’s go.”
Though many people sought to verify the stone tablet, given the diverse array of heterogeneous beings present, the queue maintained remarkable order, and it wasn’t long before our turn arrived.
Since one merely needed to raise their hand to confirm their status, there was no need to wait excessively long.
When our turn came at last.
Hanalin was the first to raise her hand.
Then.
『E』
『6150P』
Hanalin’s current rank and points appeared, and the moment she saw them, her eyes widened in astonishment. Just as I had said, the designation displayed was E, not F, so her shock was inevitable.
And she was not alone in her amazement.
“Look at that human.”
“What kind of point value is that….”
“Then what exactly are those points….”
“Did she hunt down a Villain or something? Ha.”
The various heterogeneous beings around Hanalin were marveling at her display.
Humans were universally regarded as a weak race, so it was rare to encounter a human possessing such a point value, and the attention naturally converged upon her.
As the other heterogeneous beings chattered away with their remarks, Hanalin withdrew with a somewhat self-satisfied expression.
Jiyuchan, witnessing this, was similarly surprised, and with an expression suggesting he would not be outdone, he raised his hand, revealing a rank and numerical value that matched Hanalin’s precisely.
『E』
『6150P』
“Whoa! This human has the exact same points!”
“Ha, what a pair of madmen.”
“There are two humans like this??”
“They say human standards have risen lately, and it’s apparently true.”
“It’s not just a rise in standards???”
“Even among the Elves, such values are rare.”
“Whoa, I’ll be keeping an eye on them.”
The reaction was markedly different from when Hanalin alone had confirmed her status.
The fact that two members of the same party possessed such point values meant this was no mere coincidence.
Everyone could only be astonished.
Yet separate from the heterogeneous beings’ amazement, Jiyuchan turned his head to regard Hanalin with a subtly wounded expression.
“….”
“….”
The two of them gazed at each other, their competitive spirits igniting silently.
Both had resigned themselves to losing to Dohyun, but third place was unacceptable. As they watched each other warily, Dohyun paid them little mind and raised his hand.
Then.
Unlike the two before him, a soft glow began to emanate from the Stone Tablet, and characters materialized.
『E』
『9350P』
“W-w-what the—!??”
“I-insane!?!?”
“An extraordinary human has appeared….”
“Hah….”
“Is that even possible in the F-rank Zone?”
“Unless they’re a Villain….”
“Did they hunt those recently famous bat Villains?”
“Those creatures were nearly E-rank themselves, and this human hunted them!??”
“Well, there’s no other explanation, but… it’s astounding.”
The Heterogeneous Beings around us were flabbergasted. As attention converged too heavily, Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan quickly withdrew from the Central Plaza.
There was nothing to gain from drawing more eyes here.
After confirming the Stone Tablet, our party returned to the Dormitory, and I could not help but acknowledge the reality of what I had told them.
We had confirmed that we truly needed to advance ranks.
Now was the time to organize ourselves.
Advancing ranks was not particularly difficult, so there were many things to discuss first.
For instance.
“I think we need to get ourselves organized.”
Hanalin spoke first, and Jiyuchan could only nod in agreement.
Our party had been formed abruptly, and it was formed not by our own will but simply by the Association assigning us together.
We had entered the Black Gate immediately without even discussing it, so now organization was necessary.
Though we had synchronized our movements, hunted Monsters, and even hunted Villains to reach the brink of advancement—tasks a party on the verge of promotion would not normally need—it was still necessary.
When Jiyuchan nodded at Hanalin’s words, I asked what she meant by organization, and Hanalin spoke first.
“For one, we haven’t even settled on how to address each other. And if we’re forming a party, we need objectives too. I think we need to organize those kinds of things.”
Work that should have been done long ago was only now beginning.
