merit

-Living Hunting White Paper (SS)

-Indomitable Incarnation (SS)

-Master of Martial Arts (S++)

disadvantage

-A soul worn to the ground (-A).

As it regressed the mental and experiential parts such as technology spirit and will were passed down.

The reason Gonghyeok was able to control the timing with the Minotaur’s fingers and crotch was thanks to his crazy technical skills.

But the mind is influenced by the body. As the abilities differed too much the abilities reached their limits.

Gonghyeok returned and looked at the inherited characteristics.

[Living Hunting White Paper (SS)] grants various advantages against all monsters from ability scores to evasion rate.

[Indomitable Incarnation (SS)] allows battles to continue under any circumstances and resists mental magic.

[Martial Arts Master (S++)] handles all weapons at the master level and grants a combat advantage to opponents who do not have a martial arts advantage of Grade A or higher.

After looking at some of the advantages Gonghyeok sees a disadvantage in that his grade has increased since the last regression.

[Soul Worn to the Bottom (A)]

[He is tired now. It is unknown what sustains him but because he is imbued with distrust and skepticism about the world he is likely to take unexpected actions such as easily throwing away life.

Mental value is permanently reduced by -50.]

Gonghyeok smiled bitterly as he saw his shortcomings which showed that he was slowly reaching his limit.

‘The next time will be difficult.’

I came this far thanks to madness and the support of many people. Even those people have died several times. I now felt that I had reached my limits as a human being.

This regression is the last. Thinking like that Gonghyuk opened his real business the avatar.

[Avatar ‘Observer (E)’] Lv.06

Stat Increase – Skill Mental Stat + 2

First ability opening ‘Analysis’

Secondary ability seal ???

3rd ability seal ???

Final ability seal ???

Skills given to users: Weakness identification and battlefield analysis

Aptitude for interpersonal skills F

Anti-army aptitude F

Boss aptitude F

===

It’s a miserable ability. Fortunately the reconnaissance and surveillance skills are good so it’s level E. The ability score +200 is an F level of destruction and apocalypse compared to the default Princess Bari (SS).

Gonghyeok smiled bitterly at the observer’s condition but it didn’t matter.

Even if you give S++-level Kronos SS-level Indra it will not be exchanged for Observer.

The true value of the Observer is revealed when its final ability ‘Mind’s Eye’ is unlocked and it awakens to the next level the avatar ‘GM’.

‘???’ The Observer’s ability seals are displayed.

The seal of an avatar is the ‘potential’ that the avatar possesses.

The Hunter awakens Braille’s potential by jumping over the diagonal line with the avatar and throwing coins.

As you overcome crises use your abilities to your limits and gain insight into yourself the seal is lifted.

Numerous hunters including Gonghyuk awakened their abilities one by one by climbing dozens of floors of Babel.

but.

Jumping over the diagonal line and throwing coins are also possible.

It’s just a matter of finding a ‘process’ to find the answer.

Does the same process need to go through for Gonghyuk who already knows the ‘answer’?

No need.

Gonghyuk poured out all 82 purple coins he had brought with him.

If you strengthen your abilities you can increase it by 8 and in money it costs about 32 million won.

If Yeonsi had known she would have said ‘Oppa what about my share? Orphanage operating expenses…?’ You must have thought about it while doing it.

‘Forced awakening’

A secret I learned during the 5th regression.

[★Observer’s level has reached 9☆]

The observer can be seen looking happy with his body shining like a neon sign.

Gonghyeok gently placed his hand on the body of the semi-entity Observer and spoke to him.

“Observer synchronization begins. Read my information.”

[Observer synchronizes the information of user ‘Joo Gong-hyeok’.]

A slight ripple appears in the observer’s body and is connected to Joo Gong-hyeok’s consciousness.

Then it grabs the observer’s heart and twists it.

‘I don’t have time to tell you step by step. Read my information. This is what your future looks like.’

Joo Gong-hyeok’s enormous 200 years of combat experience and the future appearance of the Observer are injected.

The observer’s body trembles due to the rapid amount of information. Numbers and noise appeared dizzyingly on the screen.

[Information resulting from synchronization is being processed. That observer’s information is updated.]

[The shape of the source expands. My possibilities and potential have been confirmed.]

Seeing the Observer being successfully synchronized Gonghyeok began to awaken the sealed abilities one by one.

‘Price and predict everything.’

[Observer 2nd ability unlocked <Prediction>]

The metal mask makes a loud noise and a scout with a monocle appears.

‘Prediction’ can be combined with Joo Gong-hyeok’s experience to predict the opponent’s attack. If Gonghyeok wants he can figure out which muscles of the opponent are moving and how soon he will draw his sword and when the attack will arrive.

The observer’s awakening did not stop.

‘Mark the enemy on the map. Find the hidden enemy.’

[Observer 3rd ability unlocked <Detection>]

‘Spotting’ was a function that displayed enemies and allies on the three-dimensional map provided by Observer.

Combined with Joo Gong-hyeok’s predictions we were able to 100% identify hidden enemies through unnatural movements of air or bushes.

In other words no surprise attack will work on Gonghyeok as long as there is a ‘scam’. Just take the stance of a hunter.

Ginggiinggiing! Bleep!

The observer turned bright red from overload. Steam came out from all over my body like an electric rice cooker.

[The awakening limit has been reached.]

[At least 5 navy blue coins are required to unlock the final ability.]

[Unique SSS-level skill ‘Forced Awakening’ has been added!]

‘No matter how much my ability is 80 purple coins is the limit.’

Coins are divided into seven rainbow-colored types with purple coins being the lowest grade.

In order of value they are purple < indigo < blue < green < yellow < orange < red. In addition there are white and black coins but they are difficult to obtain unless you have achieved a certain level of achievement.

In fact the coins that can be obtained through hunting range from the lowest purple to red and the purple coins picked up in the tutorial will never awaken the final ability.

[Excessive information has been updated for 5 hours. I need a break.]

The observer flops and flickers like a broken fluorescent light.

It must have been a tiring day as my abilities increased by hundreds in just one day and I gained several unique skills.

It is already dark outside and it is midnight.

I returned to the orphanage at dusk and it seemed like several hours had passed while awakening the observer.

After turning his neck and relaxing for a moment Gonghyuk left the director’s office.

Maybe it was around 10 o’clock? The orphanage is as quiet as a mouse. It was only a few months ago that the survival of humanity was threatened by monsters.

TV and radio broadcasting were controlled by the state and electricity let alone computers was not properly supplied.

The current sleeping pattern of mankind has returned to the Joseon Dynasty when people went to sleep at 7 p.m.

When I went to the kitchen I saw Hayeonsi at the table.

She sleeps pitifully on her pillow with a household account book filled with notes. Gonghyuk quietly covered her with a blanket in the corner.

After looking at Yeon-si for a while Gong-hyeok went to the sink and unlocked one of the locks.

It was a lock used to store dangerous tools to prevent orphanage children from touching them.

Although it is the 13th regression the schedule is busy. I had to quickly accumulate achievements from now on to have an advantage when climbing the barbell.

‘I’m going to try killing some people soon.’

Gonghyuk ponders what achievement he will gain by killing someone.

I pulled out a kitchen knife.
