Chapter 65

 

‘Never in my life did I think I’d be taming someone who uses black magic.’

 

Jung Hoon didn’t particularly like black magic.

 

Because black magic was what the bastard who attacked his mother had used.

 

So for a while, unable to quell his anger, he mercilessly killed any monster related to black magic that he saw.

 

But he didn’t kill Michael.

 

‘Revenge.’

 

Michael had quite a lot in common with Jung Hoon.

 

Also, Michael wasn’t a monster.

 

‘The fact that he’s not in the collection means he must have gotten caught up in a dungeon.’

 

New World hadn’t created a new dimension.

 

It could be seen as a world constructed by transplanting parts of other dimensions.

 

Probably Michael had unknowingly become the master of a dungeon after dying and being buried.

 

That’s why he could respond to Jung Hoon’s Taming Skill.

 

===

 

[Taming List]

 

-Michael(Epic)

 

===

 

Michael in the taming list.

 

Jung Hoon checked Michael’s stats.

 

===

 

[Michael]

 

-Grade : Epic

 

-Level : 140

 

-Class : Necromancer

 

[Detailed Stats]

 

-Strength : 73

 

-Agility : 82

 

-Stamina : 66

 

-Defense : 60

 

-Wisdom : 172

 

-Mana : 183

 

-Mental Power : 175

 

===

 

As befitting a necromancer, his physical stats were quite low compared to his level.

 

However, his wisdom, mana, and mental power exceeded his level.

 

With this much, there would be quite a few uses for him.

 

“More importantly, where is the Crystal Orb? It should look like a large glass marble.”

 

“There’s an old box next to the coffin. It’s probably in there.”

 

Over there then.

 

Jung Hoon approached the coffin and picked up the dust-covered box beside it.

 

The box was firmly sealed with a metal lock.

 

“Can I break this?”

 

“Of course! What’s mine is my master’s!”

 

With Michael’s permission, Jung Hoon mercilessly brought his fist down on the box.

 

‘Myeongwang Martial Arts 1st Star.’

 

The box couldn’t withstand his fist wrapped in the Myeongwang Fist Technique and shattered completely.

 

As the necromancer had said, the box contained a single broken Crystal Orb.

 

It was the exact same Crystal Orb he had seen in the Abandoned House.

 

‘Found it.’

 

Jung Hoon’s lips curved up widely.

 

Then he placed his hand on the Crystal Orb.

 

Just like with the Abandoned House in Primordial Village, an exclamation mark appeared above the Crystal Orb.

 

[You have discovered a hidden Hidden Theme!]

 

[You have gained 5,000 Achievement points!]

 

[Would you like to move to the Hall of Sol?]

 

If the Hidden Theme of Primordial Village was the ‘Abundant Mana Field’, this time it was the ‘Hall of Sol’.

 

“Move.”

 

When Jung Hoon accepted, his body was surrounded by blue light and then swallowed by the broken Crystal Orb.

 

* * *

 

At the same time.

 

Isaac paced in front of the portal, keeping watch of the surroundings.

 

Meanwhile, several knights appeared.

 

“Captain, what are you doing here?”

 

They were those who had finished their duty and were leaving after switching with the replacement shift.

 

So they hadn’t heard Isaac’s order not to approach this area.

 

It seemed the replacement shift hadn’t properly handled the handover.

 

“You can’t come here carelessly.”

 

Isaac stopped them in their tracks.

 

“Huh? What on earth is going on… huh?”

 

One of the knights widened his eyes.

 

Because a portal was wide open in the abandoned dungeon where only traces of a portal should have remained.

 

“Captain, why is that thing open?”

 

“Hoon went in to handle it.”

 

This much should be fine to say.

 

There was no need to keep his mouth shut for no reason.

 

“Ah, you mean the Outsider who subjugated the Ogre King single-handedly?”

 

Isaac nodded his head.

 

“And right now he’s trying to completely eliminate this abandoned dungeon.”

 

“Is that really true?!”

 

“Yes.”

 

This damn abandoned dungeon was going to disappear?

 

If that was true, he would welcome it with open arms.

 

Because of having to guard this abandoned dungeon, they had to work three days to get one day off when they should only need to work two days.

 

If this abandoned dungeon disappeared, there would be no reason to stand guard here anymore, so their working conditions would improve.

 

“But how did that benefactor open this thing?”

 

What he was curious about was how this abandoned dungeon had been opened.

 

Originally, abandoned dungeons not only left only traces but also reeked of contaminated mana.

 

That’s why the knights also stood guard cautiously.

 

“I don’t really know either. But one thing’s certain – Hoon will close this damn dungeon.”

 

Isaac shook his head.

 

He had seen Jung Hoon approach the portal traces and place something on them.

 

Then the abandoned dungeon reacted and the portal was restored.

 

‘Hoon seemed to know the portal would be restored.’

 

Even when the portal was restored, he didn’t look surprised at all.

 

As if expecting everything, he entered the portal with a calm face.

 

That’s why Isaac was confident he could close the abandoned dungeon.

 

* * *

 

[You have entered the Hall of Sol.]

 

[An additional 10,000 Achievement points have been awarded.]

 

The new Hidden Theme, Hall of Sol.

 

When his vision went dark and returned, he was standing in the center of the hall.

 

The hall was very spacious, with massive statues standing in different poses to the east and west.

 

However, their faces were all the same.

 

‘Sol, the God of Magic.’

 

Sol was a legendary figure known to have reached the pinnacle of magic and become a god.

 

The hall was built by Sol’s followers, and it was now a forgotten place that hadn’t seen human footsteps for a long time.

 

The reason was simple.

 

Sol wasn’t the only one who reached the pinnacle.

 

If Sol reached the pinnacle of White Magic, then at the pinnacle of Black Magic was someone called Balak.

 

And the number of his followers was a whopping 1.5 million.

 

In contrast, Sol’s followers, who were relatively modest and rarely showed themselves, numbered only about 60,000.

 

As a result, there were cases where people knew Balak but didn’t know Sol.

 

Due to those overwhelming numbers, the Hall of Sol couldn’t even last a week after Sol’s eternal rest and collapsed.

 

The Hall of Sol he had entered now was restored by New World to its appearance before the collapse.

 

‘The reason this is a Hidden Theme is simple.’

 

Just like the Abundant Mana Field in Primordial Village, this was designated as a Hidden Theme because magical achievements could be made here.

 

Jung Hoon moved his steps and approached the statue.

 

[This is a statue imbued with mysterious power.]

 

It was recorded that Sol bestowed blessings upon those who built the hall and left his mana in each statue.

 

First was the statue located to the east.

 

It was a statue in a pose of raising a staff toward the sky.

 

[You can raise your Circle.]

 

This statue was imbued with the power to raise Circles.

 

Currently, there was only one Circle rotating in Jung Hoon’s heart.

 

Even that could only use Magic Missile, and unlike before his regression, there wasn’t much opportunity to utilize it.

 

It was because the Myeongwang Fist Technique and Anima were too excellent.

 

[Would you like to raise your Circle?]

 

Circles could be stacked up to a maximum of 10.

 

However, the stacking process was extremely painful.

 

That’s why Alessandro Braiden searched for Hidden Themes with burning eyes.

 

They were cheat keys for achieving magical accomplishments.

 

“Wow! You can raise Circles?! What an amazing technique this is!”

 

Behind him, Michael was looking around the statue and cheering.

 

Since the taming was successful and he became Jung Hoon’s subordinate, he could accompany him to Hidden Themes too.

 

“This is a statue made of Sol, who reached the pinnacle of White Magic.”

 

Michael was horrified at the mention of White Magic.

 

“White Magic? Ew, I almost got contaminated by something dirty. Ptui ptui.”

 

Jung Hoon’s eyes narrowed at that sight.

 

“Something dirty? I was just about to accept this power though?”

 

“Ah, I was saying that I’m the dirty one! No matter how clear the water is, if even one drop of ink gets in, that water becomes contaminated!”

 

Michael was horrified and even resorted to self-deprecation as he made his excuse.

 

That excuse was quite successfully received.

 

“That’s also true.”

 

Because Black Magic was rotten.

 

When Jung Hoon readily agreed, Michael looked slightly dejected.

 

“Yes. Well… that’s right.”

 

“Well, but not you though.”

 

“Pardon?”

 

“You’re my right-hand man. So that means you’re no longer a dirty bastard.”

 

In other words, there was no need for him to engage in self-deprecation.

 

“Master…!”

 

Michael seemed quite moved as he clasped his hands together and his eyes reddened.

 

‘When you raise your Circle, the level of your original magic increases by one stage.’

 

It could be said to be similar to increasing grade, and stacking was possible.

 

A 4th Circle Magic Missile (Normal) had almost the same power as a 1st Circle Magic Missile (Epic).

 

Raising Circles could also be considered essential work for a Mage.

 

[Scanning user.]

 

[Current circuits: ‘1’.]

 

[Would you like to construct additional circuits in your body?]

 

When completing the 1st Job Advancement, you engrave 1 Circle.

 

And in the 2nd Job Advancement, you usually engrave 3 Circles.

 

This was because one Circle was created during the leveling process, and one more was added upon completing the 2nd Job Advancement.

 

Of course, Jung Hoon hadn’t gone through the process of adding Circles, so he still only had 1.

 

‘I should construct it.’

 

When Jung Hoon accepted, his body heated up once and 1 additional Circuit Diagram was created near his chest.

 

[Circuit Diagram has been constructed.]

 

With this, he had become 2nd Circle.

 

‘2nd Circle when I can only use Magic Missile.’

 

A chuckle escaped him.

 

Next was the statue reading a Book to the west.

 

[A statue imbued with mysterious power.]

 

As expected, a statue harboring power.

 

[You can learn ‘2’ random Magic spells.]

 

This statue contained knowledge that could teach Magic.

 

And it was 2 types of Magic that Sol himself had wielded.

 

‘This time, luck absolutely has to come into play.’

 

The types of Magic that Sol had wielded were diverse.

 

From Unique grade to Normal grade.

 

Legendary grade and higher also existed, but this Hidden Theme had blocked obtaining Legendary or higher.

 

Of course, the probability wasn’t 0%, but it was about 0.0001%, practically no different from being unobtainable.

 

‘I’m regretting it. If I had known just a little more about Hidden Themes, I could have aimed for much more incredible rewards.’

 

Those were words Alessandro had muttered in passing.

 

And Jung Hoon still remembered those words.

 

‘Is it time to use Achievement points?’

 

Of course, Jung Hoon had no intention of being satisfied with Unique.

 

[Current Achievement Shop level is ‘4’.]

 

[Items for sale are arranged in each category.]

 

The Achievement Shop was selling far more items than level 3.

 

Jung Hoon’s current Achievement score was 132,000 points.

 

Since he hadn’t used any points at all after awakening Anima, it boasted a figure that easily exceeded 100,000 points.

 

‘Quite a lot has accumulated.’

 

Jung Hoon’s lips curved upward as he checked his score.

 

If this much had accumulated, it would be enough to execute his plan.

 

First, he set the category to consumables and dragged the bar all the way down.

 

-Absolute Luck Potion

 

An Absolute Luck Potion that cost a whopping 30,000 points per piece.

 

This was a cheat-level item that raised one-time draw probability to 50% when used once.

 

However, it cost 30,000 points each time one was used.

 

50% is a fifty-fifty chance.

 

If the 50% probability results in a dud, then 30,000 points would be thrown into thin air.

 

That’s why ordinary users don’t even look at the ‘Absolute Luck Potion’.

 

‘Generally, it’s really difficult to earn Achievement points.’

 

In Jung Hoon’s case, since he moves using knowledge from before his regression, Achievement points accumulate relatively quickly, but ordinary users find it extremely burdensome to even collect 5,000 Achievement points.

 

Still, he couldn’t not try.

 

‘If it’s a fifty-fifty chance, there’s a possibility.’

 

It’s not like he was short on points either.

 

Jung Hoon purchased 2 Absolute Luck Potions.

 

After spending 60,000 points, his remaining Achievement points were 72,000.

 

[Absolute Luck Potion]

 

-Type: Consumable

 

-Grade: Unique

 

-Increases the probability of one draw to 50%. (Only applies to highest reward)

 

-If the reward is grade-based, the reward is given according to the highest grade.

 

Jung Hoon took out the potion from his inventory and drank it.

 

[Would you like to learn magic?]

 

With the Absolute Luck Potion applied.

 

Jung Hoon immediately learned magic.

 

[You have acquired ‘Lightning Bolt (Epic)’.]

 

The first skill he acquired was Lightning Bolt.

 

Although it was powerful electric magic, Jung Hoon couldn’t hide his disappointment.

 

He had spent 30,000 Achievement points to draw this, and it wasn’t even Unique but Epic.

 

Still, he had one more left, so he drank another potion and pressed try again.

 

[You have acquired ‘Block (Legendary)’.]

 

Finally, it appeared.
