Episode 61
[Clear Reward opened.]
[Level increased by 7.]
[Obtained 1,500,000 TP.]
‘1.5 million?’
Did the rank jump to Bronze push the reward up?
Even though I received the same EX Grade evaluation.
Half a million more TP than I got from the Infinite Tower.
‘The Heavenly Demon Divine Cult… I could establish it faster than I thought?’
If I keep earning TP like this, fifty million TP won’t be far off.
Of course, getting EX evaluations twice in a row was pure luck.
I could easily drop back to S ratings next time.
But right now, it felt like the reconstruction of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult was finally coming within reach.
And.
[Exceeding SS Grade evaluation, an additional special reward is granted.]
‘Oh. A special reward.’
Back at the Infinite Tower promotion match, even EX evaluations didn’t earn me a special reward.
Then, I’d received so many other types of rewards I didn’t really mind missing out.
But this time there’s nothing else, so I’d better take this special reward.
I waited in anticipation—what could it be?
[Obtained ‘Promising Prospect Bracelet’.]
‘A Promising Prospect Bracelet?’
An item with an unusual name had entered my rewards.
Lee Kang-han opened his inventory to examine it.
[Promising Prospect Bracelet]
Rank: SS
Among players who have reached Arena Rank 10.
A bracelet awarded to those who have drawn 1,000 or more spectators.
When worn, the bracelet maintains the wearer’s body in optimal condition at all times.
Additionally, when the wearer’s life is threatened, the bracelet detects this and activates powerful Protective Magic.
If a winning streak of 20 or more victories accumulates, the bracelet upgrades.
The bracelet can only be equipped by its owner, and the item’s effects apply in reality as well.
It triggers Protective Magic in moments of crisis.
And in daily life, it keeps the body in peak condition.
‘I’m not sure how powerful the Protective Magic is… but for an SS Grade item, the performance seems a bit underwhelming.’
And since it’s equipment only the owner can wear.
I can’t exactly sell it anywhere.
Still.
‘It’s interesting that it works in reality too.’
Generally, most items can be traded in reality, but their effects don’t activate.
Yet the Promising Prospect Bracelet works even in the real world, they said.
That alone probably accounts for its high rank evaluation.
So this protective feature must be there to safeguard promising talents, then.
Those who reach Rank 10 in the Arena and draw 1,000 spectators are apparently ‘promising prospects’ worth protecting, I’d say.
‘Let me try putting it on.’
Lee Kang-han, who had gone through everything without a single equipped item until now.
But this bracelet works in reality too, so.
He felt curious to test it out.
He pressed the equip button in his inventory.
Flash—!
Light rippled across his left wrist.
And a silver chain-style bracelet perfectly fitted to his wrist materialized.
“So this is the Promising Prospect Bracelet?”
It looked plain enough on the surface.
Wonder if its appearance changes as the winning streak grows?
Lee Kang-han checked his body’s condition to gauge the bracelet’s performance, but.
‘The condition is… hard to tell?’
Already in peak condition all the time thanks to his naturally high vitality, Lee Kang-han found it difficult to notice any change.

There was no room for his condition to improve further here.
He barely felt the bracelet’s effects.
‘In that case, Protective Magic might actually be the most useful.’
For now, there were almost no situations where his life was in danger.
But such moments could arise in the future.
Deciding to test the bracelet’s power then, he kept it on.
Lee Kang-han remained wearing the bracelet.
‘Well, today’s tower climb ended successfully…’
Lee Kang-han’s thoughts turned to another item in his inventory.
The First Tower Seal.
Wondering which to visit first, he’d stopped by the regular tower—and now had time to enter the First Tower as well.
The Arena hadn’t taken as long as expected, so there was time to spare.
Still.
‘Rather than rush, I should find a sword first before entering.’
The First Tower’s opponent was Columbus.
He’d have to wander that vast ocean searching for Columbus’s ship.
Fighting with bare fists alone wouldn’t be a wise choice there.
Besides.
‘I need to receive the item FIPA’s giving me tomorrow too.’
He didn’t know what item it would be.
But surely it would be of some use?
As Lee Kang-han decided to enter the First Tower after the awards ceremony,
Ding.
[‘Half-Elf Karana’ wishes to contact you.]
[Will you accept the communication?]
A communication request from Karana appeared before his eyes.
‘What’s this about?’
Was it regarding what happened at the Arena earlier?
Lee Kang-han accepted the connection.
[Chick. Heavenly Demon.]
On the screen,
Karana looked at Lee Kang-han with a dark expression.
* * *
“What’s wrong?”
[Just checking… but you’re not thinking of handing me over to the elves, are you?]
“Hm?”
[You wouldn’t hand me over to the elves?]
Karana brought up the elves and spoke with unmistakable fear in her voice.
Lee Kang-han answered her.
“Of course I wouldn’t hand you over. But you weren’t shaken back there?”
[Shaken?]
“Yeah. From what Hild said, it sounded like you weren’t an ordinary elf. Like you’d get special treatment or something.”
He’d considered probing further.
But when she caught on, he couldn’t extract precise information.
Still, seeing how she’d shattered that staff-shaped elemental spirit and turned it into a self-destruct—
Her skill with elementals, especially fire spirits, seemed superior to Hild’s.
‘Come to think of it, when she was serving as Shin Nyeo, she had high affinity with light and fire attributes too.’
Back then he’d assumed it was simply because she was an elf.
But seeing her seize another elf’s spirit like that, it seemed to be a different tier entirely.
No wonder Hild had suddenly addressed her as ‘that person’.
However.
[Chick. Elves… I’ve seen enough of those hideous faces.]
“Hideous?”
[Yes. The orc aesthetic and elves are completely opposite… small teeth and jaws, thin bodies, skin color nothing like green, pointlessly large noses… all shapes orcs detest. Chick.]
Humans found elf appearances captivating.
But by orc standards, their faces didn’t meet aesthetic criteria at all.
[In any case, never hand me over to the elves. That is… also my father’s dying wish.]
“Your father’s?”
[Yes. I’d rather die than go to the elves.]
He’d wondered if her heart would waver at the sight of elves,
Karana took an even firmer stance.
What kind of education had she received?
She was filled with wariness toward elves.
‘Well, I wasn’t planning to send her to the elves anyway.’
There weren’t many races in the Demon Realm Territory to begin with.
If Karana disappeared from here and her Heavenly Demon Body grade dropped, there’d be no way to recover.
Not unless she desperately wanted it herself.
He had no intention of sending her away.
“All right. I won’t send you. Don’t worry.”
[Screee. I’ll trust you.]
Reassured by Lee Kang-han’s firm answer, Karana continued.
[Ah. And… some of the fire spirits I exploded back in the Arena followed me here. Should I add them as fuel?]
She was asking whether to throw the fire spirits back into the sacred flame.
She was seeking Lee Kang-han’s opinion on the matter.
‘The fire spirits really do love Karana.’
The elf who had made them blow themselves up—what was there to find beautiful about her?
They followed all the way to the Demon Realm Territory?
Wait, was it even possible for them to follow like that in the first place?
‘Must be something spirits can do.’
In any case, the fire spirits’ obsession was remarkable.
Lee Kang-han considered Karana’s proposal while thinking this.
‘Adding the spirits would strengthen the sacred flame’s firepower again, but…’
The fire spirits were so devoted to Karana.
Rather than throwing them directly into the sacred flame,
“Why not train them a bit first before putting them in?”
[Train them?]
“If you add them right away, there won’t be enough fuel to use.”
[Krrk… I suppose that’s true.]
Karana’s talent.
He wanted to see if it could be awakened once.
“Before we bring more orcs, take a breather and train the fire spirits. They were obsessed with you—compatibility might turn out well, who knows.”
[Compatibility between spirits and me? Screee. That’s not it……]
“The system message said you have high light and fire attribute affinity, remember? And your witchcraft is Lightning Witchcraft, right? There should be some connection between light and fire attributes and that, shouldn’t there?”
As Karana showed reluctance to train the fire spirits,
Lee Kang-han persuaded her to work with them by bringing up the Lightning Witchcraft she used.
Then,
[……All right. Since I said I wouldn’t send you to the elves, I suppose I should do at least that.]
“Good. Thanks. Let me know if anything comes up.”
[Screee. Understood.]
Karana seemed reluctant about the whole thing,
but she said she’d give it a try and cut the connection.
‘The Karana issue is settled for now.’
Now I should sleep for tomorrow’s awards ceremony.
Lee Kang-han thought this and lay down on the bed, but
‘……’
his body was in perfect condition, as if he’d just woken from a long sleep.
His eyes were wide open and alert—sleep seemed nowhere to be found.
‘Is it the bracelet?’
They said it brought the body to optimal state.
But it had also eliminated sleep entirely.
Just as he was thinking he’d need to remove the bracelet,
Zeeee……
[Would you like to switch to Relax Mode?]
Light emanated from the bracelet,
and a message screen materialized in the air.
‘They thought of everything.’
In perfect condition, sleep was impossible,
so this function was built in as well.
When Lee Kang-han switched to Relax Mode,
his entire body became languid and drowsy.
A pleasant drowsiness washed over him.
‘This is nice.’
Ever since his narcolepsy had cleared up.
Lee Kang-han, whose body had been overflowing with energy and wouldn’t let him sleep properly.
For him, Relax Mode was no different than a sleeping pill sanctioned by the system itself.
‘I should use the bracelet for sleeping for a while…?’
After a deep sleep like that, the next morning.
Ding.
Lee Kang-han, now awake, checked his phone and found messages waiting.
Shin Yu-ri: Master! Did you sleep well?
Shin Yu-ri: For breakfast, you could go to the restaurant’s dining room, or we could order room service. But if you go to the restaurant, people might recognize you and cause a commotion… which would be more comfortable for you?
Even so, this is America—surely he wasn’t famous enough to cause a real commotion.
That worry seemed like overkill no matter how he looked at it.
‘Is my agent really overselling me that much?’
Lee Kang-han let out a small chuckle even as he thought it.
-Ah, then I’ll have to trouble you for room service, please.
He was just planning to eat something simple in his room and head out.
He requested room service from Shin Yu-ri.
As he was checking his phone afterward.
Kim Ju-young: Damn it all
Kim Ju-young: That crazy director keeps nagging me to bring you in, so I blew up at him
Kim Ju-young: Even though I keep telling him I don’t know anything, he keeps saying we talked on the phone before, asking why I’m being so evasive, seriously
Kim Ju-young: I should just quit that crappy company for real
Messages from his friend venting about work troubles had arrived while he was sleeping.
‘He’s got stuck with a strange character. Poor guy’s having a rough time.’
That director at his company.
He must have overheard something uncertain during a call in passing.
And now he was throwing a tantrum demanding to bring in the Cheonma.
No rhyme or reason to it whatsoever.
Just as Lee Kang-han was thinking this and about to reply to his friend.
Ding.
‘Huh…?’
To him.
Father: Kang-han.
Father: Today’s the award ceremony, right?
From his father, who had sent messages many times before with no reply.
Father: See you then.
A message from his father had arrived.
