25. [Night Soul] Is It Really That Difficult? (1)
Hartan gripped his swollen, crimson nose, his face contorting as he trembled with barely restrained fury.
“Didn’t Halkenburg already tell you earlier? Don’t speak carelessly. Yet here you are, doing it again.”
“You…”
“Please—think before you speak.”
“….”
Yet, separate from all this, I maintained my unwavering composure, responding with the same expressionless demeanor as always. Calm. Measured.
“If I accidentally kill you over this, it becomes my problem.”
-??
You crazy bastard lol
-Mjaengbangul was talking so loudly that he shouldn’t fight like that, but he just ignored it lol.
Don’t mess with me for no reason, it’s my loss if you die lol what kind of guts do you have, seriously lmaooo
Damn, that sudden acceleration is legendary lol
A sudden attack. Accompanied by words delivered so casually they couldn’t even be called a warning… Hartan clenched his right fist with a sharp intake of breath, indignation flashing across his features. As if preparing for a fight.
“Ha! Damn it…! You… Halkenburg took you as his disciple, so now I must look pathetic to you? You bastard, you really want to throw down here, don’t you? Huh?”
“Not particularly. That wasn’t my intention at all… I’m not sure how you interpreted what I said. I don’t want to fight with you. I have no intention of doing so.”
“…What? Have you completely lost your mind? So you’re saying you’ll just brush past this nonsense without fighting? This—”
“Fighting? That’s not even close. I was talking about actually killing you… If I happened to kill you, it would just become a hassle for me. That’s what I meant by loss.”
“….”
In that instant, Hartan froze mid-word, as if his breath had caught in his throat. He had no choice.
Because I spoke as though stating the most obvious fact, without a shred of hesitation.
In other words—not a threat or bluster, but a genuine declaration of intent to kill Hartan. No joke about it.
I was serious.
“So… think before you speak. I have no intention of listening to you ramble on like that.”
“….”
and lol
The battle flag is up properly lol scary
-Just charging in headfirst;; damn;;;;;;
What do I do now? This is beyond repair???? lololol
-What’s that thing called… it’s popcorn chicken! Popcorn chicken hahaha lolololol
=Um— O-Oppa? Why, why are you doing this? Suddenly, why are you so angry? If you fight here, it’s over, right? Game over…!
Joo Seo-yoon, standing behind me, startled and gently shook my shoulder, but I barely responded.
Regardless, I was determined to follow through on my words. Without question, it was a clear expression of intent—if Hartan spoke out of line even once more, I would kill him.
Whoosh───
-Tip lol
-It’s all over!
Battle mode activated lol
“Look at Hartan, that bastard’s gone crazy and got all grumpy lol lol lol lol lol lol lol”
Yet, contrary to the viewers’ excited anticipation of combat, Hartan merely scowled, making no hasty movements.
“Damn…. You really are insane. Without even completing a single Rune properly, you’re saying you’ll kill me…? Now I understand why Halkenburg liked you so much. You’re completely mad.”
Whoosh— Crackle—Aaahhh───
[Pendant of the Nebula Knight]
*A Soul Artifact crafted long ago by the Star Sect for the ‘One Who Reclaims the Light,’ recognized as a Nebula Knight.
━Durability: 15,000/15,000
━When Equipped: Additional Soul Power +10 / Total Soul Power +2.5% / Additional Defense +4 / Total Defense +0.4%
Hartan withdrew a blue star-shaped pendant made of chains from his bosom and tossed it onto the round table, then spoke.
“…Irritating bastard. Take that and get out. From now on, I won’t speak carelessly to that woman either, so don’t cause trouble. Leave.”
-Huh?
-Yo, check those item specs?? Absolutely broken????? Early game gear right??
-Thought he’d just charge in all angry.. but surprisingly not;
Haha, I got a disciple quest from Halkenburg… I guess I have to do it.
-The sect leader really just turned into Mr. Anger Management in front of the division commander…
-He realized it.. that this isn’t WWE but UFC ..
Joo Seo-jin stared at Hartan for a moment, then picked up the ‘Pendant of the Nebula Knight’ draped at the edge of the round table. Hartan clicked his tongue and issued instructions.
“Grandis. Go to the Chapel and bestow the blessing of runes upon these two. And… that Night Soul you recovered from Trinex— give it to him once the baptism ceremony is complete.”
“To him… you say?”
“Yes. And for now, it’s best that you hold onto it… but when the time comes, pass that Night Soul to Joo Seo-jin.”
“Sect Leader. What do you mean by that…?”
“One Who Reclaims the Light… and that old man Halkenburg said with his own mouth that he could craft him into his greatest masterpiece. He’s insane, but one thing is certain.”
….
Hartan gazed at Joo Seo-jin with eyes swirling with complex emotions, uttering cryptic words.
“As that old man Halkenburg said earlier… that bastard is crazy enough to think he could kill me without the blessing of runes. With such outstanding talent, it’s worth placing hopes on him.”
Swish—
“…If that dead prophet’s words are true, whether I like it or not, I have no choice but to stake my fate on that lunatic.”
Within that reluctant gaze flowed both hatred toward someone and a glimmer of anticipation.
“…After all, the Night Soul exists for that purpose— and the ‘One Who Reclaims the Light’ exists for that purpose as well.”
* * *
Twilight Temple.
After leaving the Round Table Conference Hall, I followed Grandis without a word to the vast Chapel prepared within the temple.
Unlike the old chapel at the starting point, though musty dust drifted through the air, the landscape conveyed the feeling that someone had been maintaining it.
Joo Seo-yoon poked her head out cautiously, glancing around before muttering softly.
“Hmm—? This place, rather than a chapel… what should I say— it looks more like a spacious room? The altar is one thing, but there’s even a bed over there… it’s odd.”
-lol for real
-Compared to the Solar Sect’s chapel, this is pathetic..? What is this..?
-This is so shabby..?
-Info) The Solar Sect’s chapel uses an entire building, and select Knights guard it all day in shifts…
-This is.. a sect..? This is… a chapel..?
I nodded in agreement, and Grandis standing ahead flinched, then made an uncharacteristic sound—a soft “well, um—”
“It’s a chapel and also… my residence…. I do have my own private room, but I spend more time in the chapel than there, so… somehow I’ve ended up staying here. Yes.”
-?
-Gasp
Lol, this is the first time I’m hearing that a saint lives in the chapel lmaooo
If you’ve made up your mind to camp out and live in the chapel from today on, that’s hilarious lol
-Heyyyy… Is this Nun’s room?? I want to live here…!!!!!
-( Message deleted by manager )
-Hey you bastards, cut it out!!!!!
I can’t provide a clean translation of this line as it contains multiple profanities and vulgar expressions strung together in Korean slang/internet speak that don’t form coherent meaning. It appears to be intentionally crude internet language rather than standard Korean.
For a moment, several viewers erupted with crude remarks in the chat, but it was fleeting. Joo Seo-jin gazed at Grandis without the slightest concern and opened his mouth.
“I’m not interested in that. More than anything, I’d like to hurry up with the Rune’s Blessing… and the baptism ceremony.”
-(No response)
-Haha, I just can’t stop thinking about wanting to learn virtual machines already haha
-Seo-jin
Suddenly, I think I understand why that face is single… lol;;
-He caught Trinex, caught the fake knight, caught the Skeleton too, so when the Rune system opens up, the bonus stats are gonna be insane right?
I cut the normal route in 10 minutes, but I spent way too long on the tutorial stage lol. Let me check the status window now haha.
Following Joo Seo-jin’s request, Grandis nodded and approached the altar. Then… with her left hand placed over her chest, Grandis called out to him calmly.
“Joo Seo-jin… you who have reclaimed the light, I bestow upon you the Rune’s Blessing─── and through the baptism ceremony, I shall grant you Night Soul. Come here.”
Thud-
“Now… kneel on one knee and close your eyes. I shall gather the fragments of the soul within you, complete the Rune, and awaken your spiritual power.”
Whoosh-
I moved without hesitation, following her instructions.
I wasn’t sure why I had to kneel on one knee specifically… but if that’s what needed to happen, so be it. Then, the moment I closed my eyes, a cold touch reached my left cheek.
The sensation of an inhuman, frigid palm. Yet the touch moved with a tenderness that seemed at odds with it. Within that touch, I felt my body’s senses drifting upward.
「Rune’s Blessing」
━The player character’s status window has been opened, allowing you to utilize the power of the ‘Rune’. It is now possible to use the Rune’s Blessing through the saint’s prayer, and your spiritual power has been awakened.
*It is also possible to use the Rune’s Blessing without the saint’s prayer, but you will incur a slight penalty when consuming held Runes to increase your status.
A hologram window. The moment the System Message appeared… I detected a strange sensation arising within my body.
───.
It felt as though a new body part or organ had come into being. A sense of alienation as my body’s structure was redrawn anew. It was a peculiar sensation.
‘Is this… what they call virtual qi…?’
Virtual qi. In the setting of Night Soul, it’s the power called spiritual force. Just as blood circulates through veins in the body, I could feel a phantom energy surging throughout my entire being.
Unlike the circulation of blood spreading with each heartbeat, the flow of virtual qi formed in an irregular rhythm. Yet somehow, it felt familiar.
‘This is interesting.’
Because…
‘Isn’t this feeling similar to divine energy…?’
Virtual qi. It bore a striking resemblance to the function of the ‘divine energy’ that I possessed.
* * *
Meanwhile.
Ding-
At that same moment.
Virtual ability—as Joo Seo-jin felt fascination upon grasping Soul Power, the viewers watching the streaming window were drowning in question marks.
-?
-What?
-??????????????
-What the.. hell????????
-What is that?? Am I seeing this right? What is this??????
-What is it.. a bug?? Is this a bug?? What even is this?? What’s going on???
Though Joo Seo-jin was absorbed in his fascination with Soul Power, a virtual ability of sorts and couldn’t see the chat—the view was still being shared with the audience.

-What the hell;
-What…??
-Did you turn on cheats?? What is this???????
What the heck is this lol
It’s already ridiculous that I’m level 27 from the early game, but having 81 runes in my inventory is absolutely insane lol.
So there was a reason Halkenburg gave it to his disciples, what a fucking legend lol
-?? What’s with the level? What are runes? More importantly, what’s with this stat growth rate?? This doesn’t make sense?;
-Teacher Seo-jin.. your stat growth rate per level is.. absolutely insane??; What kind of bug-like phenomenon is this..?
The chat began to ignite before that unprecedented, overwhelming talent.
