[Unique trait ‘Battle Frenzy’ level increases to Advanced. All stats increase for a certain time proportional to accumulated damage.]

[Unique trait ‘Aesthetics of Death’ acquired! When receiving fatal damage, can use Purgatory’s Chill for 1 minute!]]

‘Ooh.’

A trait with an incredibly cool name appeared.

But the activation condition is damage equivalent to death.

Even if given the chance to engrave it on a blank card, I should probably resist.

Jinhyeok is Buro, not immortal.

It’s a trait that absolutely cannot be used, nor should it be used.

“Captain! Please look over here!”

While I was examining Dark’s status window for a moment.

I moved at Kancheo’s call.

Yodel Ranger Kancheo was peeking his head out while looking down the cliff.

I carefully positioned myself beside him to avoid falling.

It’s an iceberg with a strangely bizarre form.

“It just formed from beneath that ground.”

Something brushed past my head, so I turned around.

He already seems to know.

Dark walking over while stretching refreshingly.

“Would you like to come see? Since you’re an ice expert… Waaaait?!”

Dark came right beside us but didn’t stop walking.

Dark jumping straight down the cliff.

Upon reaching a certain point, Dark scattered Eternal Cold Iron to both sides.

As the Eternal Cold Iron made contact.

Crrrrrack!!

Changes appeared in the iceberg that had risen.

The iceberg began to shake violently, then cracks started forming.

Before long, a chilling aura flowed out from the shattered iceberg.

The Eternal Cold Iron began absorbing all of that aura.

It’s a cold energy just from looking at it.

How far had the absorption progressed?

Changes came to the Eternal Cold Iron.

The smooth surface became rough, and the overall color was dyed dark blue like the essence it had just absorbed.

Ding!

[Frostheim’s essence dwells in Dalk Castro’s Bogu, Eternal Cold Iron!]

[Bogu awakening complete! ‘Eternal Cold Iron’ enhanced to ‘Eternal Cold Iron – Frost Storm’!]

[From now on, you can use the Bogu awakening skill ‘Ten Thousand Praises of Cold Flowers’! Sufficient ice must be prepared around you! Consumes all ice immediately upon use!]

Jinhyeok clicked his tongue.

In terms of Seira’s sword, it would be like a startup skill. But perhaps because it’s called an awakening skill, and perhaps because it uses the four-character idiom Ten Thousand Praises of Cold Flowers.

It’s a technique that somehow feels deeply romantic.

Seira approached with the friction sound of armor.

Seira standing side by side, watching Dark’s Bogu awakening.

“Now that he has that, he’ll be a bit more worth beating up.”

“Have you seen it before, Seira? The existing Eternal Cold Iron had Frost Storm added to its name.”

“I’ve seen worse. I had quite a hard time before dragging him to prison.”

“Oh, Seira had a hard time?”

Seira nodded lightly and continued speaking.

“Master, do you remember what that man said about me when you first met Dalk Castro?”

“He said you were the one who threw him into prison and the first human he couldn’t kill.”

Seira narrowed her eyes.

“It’s the same for me. Dalk Castro is the first being I couldn’t kill.”

“Isn’t that unavoidable? Dark is immortal.”

“It’s a bit different. That man was dragged to prison not because I won the battle.”

Jinhyeok’s mouth fell open at the continuing story.

The battle between Seira and Dark apparently continued for over a week.

Without a single break, continuously.

“It was when we had just entered the second week. That man deliberately took a sword he could have easily blocked. While muttering that he was bored. And that he was sleepy. Indeed, not long after, that man fell asleep with me right in front of him.”

I swallowed dry saliva.

Seira values justice and chivalry more than anyone.

For such a knight, a life-or-death match would be an extremely noble and pure act.

Then he just fell asleep on his own, so it’s somewhat understandable why she was disgusted when we first met.

‘It was a draw.’

It’s not easy to imagine.

Just an hour ago, he was getting beaten one-sidedly and turned to mush.

“Thank you. Master.”

“Huh? For what?”

“For making it possible to beat that man one-sidedly. I should probably beat him up more when we leave the Tower. Before he fully regains his old strength.”

A drop of sweat ran down my forehead.

You want to beat him up that badly?

“Captain. You don’t need to worry.”

When did he climb up?

Kancheo patted Jinhyeok’s shoulder with his fluffy hand.

“Everyone originally becomes friends by fighting.”

“Are you also becoming friends with Ellia and Camilla, Kancheo?”

“There are always exceptions in the world.”

I stared intently at Kancheo.

For some reason, looking at this guy makes me think of the phrase “double standards.”

“Kancheo.”

“Yodel Ranger Kancheo!”

“Since Dark’s Bogu awakening is finished, shall we eat something delicious? While flower viewing.”

“Good! Momo! Is Momo there!”

Kancheo jumping down from my shoulder and running to the campfire.

I turned my body around.

The cherry blossoms were still mixed with the snowstorm, creating a beautiful spectacle.

A collaboration between the Hanamori Family’s resilient seeds and Elia Posen, the Alchemist of the Stars.

Perhaps because of that, new cherry blossoms are blooming as soon as they fall in the wind.

‘An infinite cherry blossom generating tree.’

He rubbed his chin.

‘Maybe I’ll try growing fruit trees when I move.’

Regular seeds would die from the medicine, so it would be difficult right now.

But he thought it might be possible after some testing.

Infinitely generating apples – just thinking about it made the corners of his mouth turn up.

“Captain!”

Was everything ready already?

Kancheo waved his short hand by the campfire.

He walked over there, bringing Dark who had just climbed up from the cliff.

‘Flower viewing.’

Jinhyeok had never done flower viewing in his life.

During blooming season, and at places famous for flower viewing, there were always crowds of people, and he didn’t have anyone to go with anyway.

‘I thought it was exclusively for couples and popular people.’

Not anymore.

It was time to step into that world.

Jinhyeok nodded with a determined expression.

Flower viewing in the barren land of Frostheim.

Until the system announced departure from the 12th Floor of the Mythic Tower.

He planned to enjoy it thoroughly.

Seoul Player Hunter Bureau, Strategic Headquarters.

Director Han Ji-won sipped her tea.

“So, what floor is the Runner on?”

“The 62nd floor.”

“What’s the grade? Don’t tell me it’s again?”

Her secretary scratched his head.

“Yes. It’s SSS+ again.”

She put down her cup and leaned back in her chair.

How disappointing.

And for good reason – she had been praying every day with offerings of water.

If not for climbing failure, at least for the grade to drop.

‘They’ll be all high and mighty at the next meeting again.’

Personnel Director Lee Chang-gi and his right-hand man Team Leader Jin Yun-ho.

Just thinking about those two going on and on about Runner this, Runner that made her irritated already.

‘His luck is just disgustingly good.’

She wasn’t talking about the Runner.

She was talking about Lee Chang-gi.

It had always been like that.

Lee Chang-gi made impossible things happen and found things that couldn’t be found.

Because he was skilled? Absolutely not.

Various situations mysteriously aligned to help Lee Chang-gi in ways that made observers doubt their own eyes.

If there was a goddess of fortune, she was definitely convinced she was on Lee Chang-gi’s side.

This Runner was the same.

Since he was so shrouded in mystery even within the Player Hunter Bureau, she didn’t know the details.

But according to floating rumors, Jin Yun-ho hadn’t found the Runner.

The Runner had sought out Jin Yun-ho because he needed financial help.

‘Why of all people…!’

She gritted her teeth.

Out of all the many team leaders, why did he go to Jin Yun-ho?

If it was money, she could have sent a truckload too.

Anyway, thanks to the Runner, Lee Chang-gi and Jin Yun-ho were truly on a winning streak within the Hunter Bureau.

Having the only connection with the Runner, who was called South Korea’s new hope that no one else in the world knew about.

The power that this uniqueness held was tremendous.

The more the Runner excelled, the higher Lee Chang-gi and Jin Yun-ho’s standing rose within the Hunter Bureau.

And the more that happened, the more Han Ji-won’s position as their rival inevitably declined.

‘I’m disgustingly envious.’

Han Ji-won honestly admitted it and swept back her hair.

Even if she wanted to make a move, she’d need to know who the Runner was first.

It was frustratingly maddening.

Of course, that didn’t mean she was sitting idle.

“What about the bags?”

“I got two.”

Han Ji-won checked the documents that were handed to her.

[Bag of Peltz, the Infinite Warehouse Owner / Grade: Transcendent]

# Peltz is known as the owner of an infinite warehouse that possessed everything in the world.

# A bag with seemingly endless storage capacity.

# Can store items that aren’t Tower items.

# Items exceeding certain volume, size, and weight cannot be stored.

# You can freely design and configure the warehouse structure for storing items.

# The bag’s owner or those permitted by the owner can enter the warehouse directly. While using this function, the bag cannot be used or moved. Even with permission, you must always be accompanied by the owner.

[Picnic Bag of the Mischievous Rasbelt / Grade: Epic]

# A bag used by Rasbelt.

# Rasbelt is a spirit who hates peace and tranquility, and loves trouble and mischief.

# A cute crossbody bag that can be worn across the shoulder.

# The bag opening is small, so items that are too large cannot be stored.

# The bag size is small, so storage weight cannot exceed 500kg.

# Instead, it has a sorting function that allows you to quickly retrieve what you want in any situation.

“Good.”

Han Ji-won showed a satisfied expression.

Subspace inventory-type items that were so rare you couldn’t buy them even with money.

She had really struggled disgustingly hard to get two of them.

“Contact Player Ryu Seung-gwon and Player Yeom Chang-seok. Tell them to come since I got what they requested.”

“Understood.”

Han Ji-won raised the corners of her mouth.

She had no intention of giving up the competition just because she couldn’t have the Runner.

Therefore, she planned to properly gather the most talented individuals and form a team.

An elite team that, when brought together, could rival the Runner and might even surpass him someday.
