#Chapter 82.
My eyes swept across the subscription window from top to bottom.
“Something… has changed quite a bit.”
For the most part, the basic interface itself hadn’t altered dramatically.
However, the contents within had shifted considerably, and what caught my attention first was the sheer number of channels.
“It used to end after scrolling down a bit.”
Previously, a few scrolls would exhaust the channel list, but now it seemed endless no matter how far I scrolled.
Moreover, there were quite a few channels I’d never seen before.
The channel list had been updated once before, but this time far more had changed.
“Hmm.”
As I pondered what to check first among so many things demanding my attention.
I noticed one corner of the subscription window glimmering. It was as if beckoning me to examine it first.
[Jung Han-sung (B)]
There, displayed plainly, was my own name.
I clicked on it immediately.
A small window materialized above the subscription interface.
[Jung Han-sung]
[Rank: Bronze]
“So the B stood for Bronze?”
I murmured to myself while reading through the explanation displayed beneath the rank.
“So my rank is divided from Bronze to Gold, then…”
The rank was determined comprehensively by referencing multiple indicators.
Among these, what I could verify myself were the number of completed challenges and the count of subscribed channels.
“So the achievement rate of challenges and the subscription count of channels are both reflected in my rank…”
Then what was this rank used for?
The answer became clear just below.
[New features are unlocked according to rank, and the maximum number of memberships is also expanded.]
New features and memberships.
Since there was no separate explanation for what these new features were, I couldn’t determine that, but what captured my attention was the memberships.
[Memberships: 0/2]
This item appeared directly below the rank—essentially, it meant I currently had no active memberships, but could subscribe to a maximum of two.
Which naturally led to the question: what exactly were memberships?
And once again, a helpful explanation was provided below.
“By subscribing to a specific channel’s membership, you receive discounts on subscriptions and gain membership benefits…”
I read the explanation aloud and scratched my chin.
“This ability definitely manifests in this form to match my perception.”
That was what I’d been told before.
The true nature of the subscription ability lay elsewhere, and I wasn’t the only one possessing a similar power.
However, the form it takes varies depending on the individual who wields it.
For some, it appears as a library. For others, as whispers of the divine. For still others, as an endless expanse of parchment.
Something that appears in different forms depending on the person who possesses the ability.
‘So this must have an original form at its core, and I’m just perceiving it in this particular way…. Something like that, I suppose.’
Or it could be a unique ability that only Jung Han-sung possesses.
From what I’ve heard, there’s no one else who can borrow abilities as easily and comfortably as Jung Han-sung does. They say that’s his talent.
“Hmm. I’ll need to think about the membership.”
A few channels came to mind immediately, but it didn’t seem like a decision I needed to make right now.
I still hadn’t decided which channels to prioritize going forward.
Jung Han-sung closed the window he’d finished examining and tried to navigate to the ‘Challenges’ section.
Or rather, that’s what he intended to do.
“Master? Sir?”
Before I could hear Baek-seol’s voice.
Jung Han-sung only then realized he’d been in conversation with Baek-seol.
“Oh, sorry. I had something to check. I’ll be back in a moment.”
“Yes! Take care!”
“Thanks.”
Jung Han-sung returned to his home in the Territory.
Then he sat in a chair and finished reviewing the Challenges window.
“Hmm. This has changed quite a bit too.”
I checked the Challenges section periodically, and there were several differences from the last time I’d looked.
[Bronze 37/50]
[Silver 14/30]
[Gold 3/20]
First, at the very top, the number of completed challenges and remaining challenges were displayed separately.
The challenges were divided into Bronze, Silver, and Gold by difficulty, with each category displayed separately, making it easy to read.
‘And it seems like when you complete all items in one category, it refreshes.’
For example, there are currently 50 Bronze challenges, and once I complete all 50, a new set of 50 Bronze challenges appears.
Jung Han-sung nodded.
If all ranks had to be completed before refreshing, it would have taken much longer. This is definitely more reasonable.
I think I might be able to finish the Bronze tier relatively soon.
Additional rewards are given each time an item is completed, but what they are seems only discoverable after achievement.
―Are you examining the new abilities?
At that point, Onyx poked his head out from his armor and asked.
Jung Han-sung nodded in response.
“Yeah. A lot has changed.”
―Hmm. I haven’t seen many abilities as complex as yours, master.
“Is mine considered complex?”
―Indeed. Usually people have just one ability—swordsmanship if it’s swordsmanship, magic if it’s magic, psychic powers if it’s psychic powers.
As Onyx spoke, Jung Han-sung stroked his chin and asked.
“Why would there be such a difference?”
―It means your potential is that much higher, master.
“Potential?”
―That’s right. Abilities aren’t simply granted at random. They’re bestowed based on potential and various characteristics. And yet, doesn’t your master’s ability strike an impressive balance between versatility and raw power?
“I suppose so….”
Even from my perspective, my ability was undeniably formidable.
Separate from the ability itself, I’ve been consistently working to strengthen my own power as well, but truthfully, without this subscription ability, reaching my current level of strength would have been impossible.
I fell into contemplation for a moment before collecting myself and speaking.
“Let me finish examining this first.”
―Understood.
Now there was only one thing left to check.
It was a newly added category on one side of the subscription window, and its name was ‘Playlist’.
‘Is this the playlist I’m thinking of?’
With that thought, I tapped on the Playlist, and once again a small window appeared with an accompanying description.
[Playlist: 0/10]
[You can register abilities from multiple channels and subscribe to them all at once]
The explanation was refreshingly straightforward.
So I could grasp the function immediately.
‘So I can register multiple channels suited to a situation and subscribe to them all simultaneously.’
For instance, if I created a playlist called Exploration and registered all the channels that would aid in exploration—like Cassandra’s Intuition or Pathfinder’s Basic Pathfinding—into it?
I wouldn’t need to search for and subscribe to each channel individually whenever the need arose; I could subscribe to multiple channels at once.
It certainly seemed like a convenient feature.
“I’ll need to organize and set this up properly later.”
There were already several ideas coming to mind.
But for now, I had something else in mind before organizing the playlists.
―Are you planning to go craft undead next?
As if reading my thoughts, Onyx posed the question.
I nodded.
“That’s the plan. The reinforcement ritual should be finished right about now.”
The last time I checked, the ritual had exactly seventy hours remaining.
Since it would finish around the same time as the subscription window upgrade, it should be done by now if I headed there.
“First, though, let me subscribe to just one channel.”
I immediately searched through the channels I’d previously subscribed to and found a familiar one.
It was the Necronomicon Master’s ‘Synthesis Ritual’ channel.
Just as I was about to subscribe to it, something caught my eye.
‘Huh? The ticket price went up?’
The Bronze ticket price had become a staggering 100 coins—ten times more expensive than before.
I quickly identified the reason.
‘The tier system changed?’
It wasn’t just that the price had increased; the tickets themselves had been demoted by one tier entirely.
What had previously been a Silver ticket was now Bronze, and the Gold ticket had become Silver.
The newly created Gold ticket was something that hadn’t existed before—a more powerful tier.
‘The price is stronger too. Ten thousand coins?’
If I calculated it purely by the cost of magic stones, a single Gold Ticket would be worth three billion won.
“…Three billion is really not easy to come by.”
In fact, Bronze Tickets now cost thirty million won each, so the burden had increased significantly.
Jung Han-sung scratched his cheek and looked at the challenge section again.
‘Challenges…. I need to work hard at this.’
It seemed that for the time being, I wouldn’t be able to burn through Bronze Tickets like water the way I used to.
Still, I had one Bronze Ticket remaining. The ten Bronze Tickets I’d had before had dwindled to just one.
Jung Han-sung smacked his lips and subscribed to the Synthesis Sorcery channel.
[You have subscribed to the Necronomicon Master’s unique Synthesis Sorcery using a Bronze Ticket]
[This subscription is valid for 24 hours]
As the message appeared, knowledge flooded into my mind.
Jung Han-sung stood there for a moment, absorbing the information, and once I had fully adapted, I moved to the Unique Space.
Whoosh—!
Moments later, I stood before the corpses of Kuhuelt and Arachne.
“Good. Everything is ready.”
Kuhuelt and Arachne’s corpses were perfectly prepared. Now I just needed to perform the synthesis sorcery.
“You’re ready too, right?”
Clack!
In response to Jung Han-sung’s question, Kuhuelt clacked his jaw bones together, his eye sockets gleaming.
At that, Jung Han-sung didn’t hesitate and extended both hands forward.
Since I had already drawn a massive magic circle centered on Arachne’s corpse, all that remained was to chant the incantation.
“You who should not have awakened, I call upon your flesh. Spirit wandering beyond death, don the form of another. Let blood and bone intermingle, let teeth and hoof become one, and let a new curse be born….”
For lower-tier undead, there was no need to chant an incantation, but synthesizing Kuhuelt and Arachne’s corpses was a different matter entirely.
I recited the lengthy incantation without missing a single syllable, continuously drawing mana from within my body.
Uuuuuung—!
In my palms, an ominous black mist gathered visibly.
“Kadawela Miskeantuur.”
And the moment I spoke the final activation word.
Shhhhhhh—.
The mist stretched out and consumed the corpses of Kuhuelt and Arachne in one fell swoop.
Jung Han-sung watched the mist without even thinking to wipe the sweat from my brow.
Within the mist, strange sounds echoed endlessly. The sounds of something breaking, shattering, and merging.
As time passed.
Whoosh—.
From beyond the mist, Kuhuelt emerged in a new form.
The form was nearly identical to Arachne’s appearance in life. A spider’s lower body. And a human woman’s upper body.
At first, it seemed as though Kuhuelt had been completely consumed by Arachne.
Click—.
But when he bowed his head before Jung Han-sung, his eye sockets gleaming, I realized the consciousness within was still that of Kuhuelt.
Then Jung Han-sung let out a soft chuckle and spoke.
“Success.”
Compared to Karon, I sensed an equally formidable aura—one that didn’t pale in the slightest. And alongside it, an unwavering, absolute loyalty.
Jung Han-sung had been about to call out Kuhuelt’s name, but he reconsidered. It seemed far better to bestow a new name instead.
‘A newly reborn undead must be given a new identity to truly unlock its power.’
That was likely knowledge inherited from the Necronomicon Master.
After a brief moment of deliberation, Jung Han-sung gazed upon the undead and spoke.
“Araktar. Your name is Araktar.”
At that, Araktar’s eyes blazed with radiance once more as she bent all her legs and lowered her head in reverence.
Jung Han-sung smiled.
“Then, shall we go test your power?”
It was time to resume the Tower conquest that had been suspended for three days.
