    Episode 158

    James Marcus has arrived in Idenharg!

    As the news spread throughout Wallcom countless users flocked to Idenhark.

    To see him just once.

    “Going to the city of warriors?”

    “Let’s follow!”

    As a world-class top star many users followed him.

    “Ah… I can’t go because I’m not at the level?”

    “shit!”

    “Still I’m satisfied to see it from afar.”

    Among them many users who were not at the level were dropped out.

    Users above level 201 still chased after James.

    ‘It’s annoying.’

    James Marcus frowned.

    Ever since I became a pro gamer there have been people like that following me wherever I go.

    There were very few people in high level zones but in low level places like Idenhark or the Warrior City there were too many people following them.

    Nevertheless the biggest problem is that one cannot openly express rejection.

    “Haha it’s dangerous so please don’t rush around too much.”

    “oh my god! James was worried about us!”

    “oh my god!”

    He said it deliberately but they probably didn’t understand so they were very happy just by the fact that he had spoken to them.

    ‘I don’t understand.’

    James Marcus decided to just ignore them.

    That’s how we arrived at the city of warriors.

    He headed straight to the rocky mountain.

    “Rocky mountain?”

    “Why here?”

    “Is there something there?”

    Users were curious but could no longer chase James Marcus.

    This is because he started climbing the rocky mountain near the cliff with his bare hands.

    He couldn’t help but stare blankly at the users as he climbed up without a care in the world.

    Either way James Marcus picked up speed and quickly climbed the rocky mountain.

    ‘If it’s the heart of a warrior it must be here somewhere.’

    The prediction was exactly right.

    After climbing for a while I found a small hole.

    ‘That way.’

    James Marcus quickened his pace his eyes shining.

    That’s how we arrived at the cave.

    After entering the cave and taking a few steps I found a rock mat and broken pottery on top of it.

    “It’s a relic.”

    Just by looking at it he immediately knew what the hint was referring to.

    The corners of James Marcus’ mouth went up.

    “Since it’s a hint given to MVP it must be Legendary Mana right?”

    There were three relics he was currently wearing.

    This is because as he completed the 5th job change the wearing limit increased to 3.

    And all of the grades were unique.

    He wanted to upgrade the level of artifacts but he didn’t have the opportunity so he is still only using unique ones.

    If you get a legendary relic your specs will go up even further.

    James Marcus took possession of the pottery.

    However when I touched the ceramics there was no reaction.

    “what?”

    James Marcus’ face was colored with embarrassment.

    [Whisper/zl John Hajin 12 -> Hoon: What are you doing now?]

    As soon as Jeong-hoon came out of the currency exchange booth he heard a whisper from Ha-jin.

    [Whisper/Hoon -> zl John Hajin 12: I’m at a currency exchange right now?]

    [Whisper/zl John Hajin 12 -> Hoon: Money exchange shop? Why there?]

    [Whisper/Hun -> zl John Hajin 12: To buy some relics.]

    [Whisper/zl John Hajin 12 -> Hoon: Wow… you have a lot of money?]

    This is the perception of VIP Coin.

    This is because many users said they did not understand why they invested over 100 million won when they could create a full-fledged game by investing just a little time.

    Jeong-Hoon was also in that category before returning but now he believes that time is more important than money so he didn’t waste anything.

    [Whisper/Hoon -> zl John Hajin 12: What’s going on? Have you already reached level 201?]

    [Whisper/zl John Hajin 12 -> Hoon: No… not yet.]

    [Whisper/Hoon -> zl John Hajin 12: Then what is it?]

    [Whisper/zl John Ha-jin 12 -> Hoon: Looking at Wolcom I heard that James Marcus headed to the city of warriors? You know James Marcus right?]

    [Whisper/Hun -> zl John Hajin 12: How could you not know?]

    A global top star.

    Is there anyone who doesn’t know him who is currently ranked number 1 in the world’s warrior rankings?

    The fact that James Marcus came to the city of warriors probably means that he came to look for relics.

    ‘It’s faster than I thought…?’

    Originally it would have been normal to discover it later than it is now.

    [Whisper/zl John Hajin 12 -> Hoon: Anyway isn’t it awesome? According to what was posted on Wallcom they stopped at Idenhark first and then headed to the city of warriors.]

    Wallcom also has a server.

    James Marcus is on the America server.

    He is such a global top star that even Korea is in an uproar.

    ‘Ah I think I know why it was pulled.’

    Jeong Hoon passed through Taecho Village and came through Idenhark.

    In the process he met Yorden and was able to create Anima.

    Thanks to this Yorden became a famous person in the city as the NPC who discovered the vein where the evolution stone was buried.

    Someone must have recommended Jorden to him.

    “If I had been a little late I would have been X right?”

    But what about this?

    I already brought the legendary artifact.

    Jeonghoon grinned.

    [Whisper/Hoon -> zl John Hajin 12: If it were the same server we might have encountered each other.]

    [Whisper/zl John Hajin 12 -> Hoon: That’s right. I also want to see it up close but I can’t.]

    [Whisper/Hun -> zl John Hajin 12: Anyway how is your level up?]

    [Whisper/zlJohn Hajin12 -> Hoon: I’m working hard.]

    [Whisper/Hun -> zl John Hajin 12: ㅇㅇ Do your best.]

    [Whisper/zl John Hajin 12 -> Hoon: ㅇㅋ]

    [Whisper/Hun -> zl John Hajin 12: Then I’ll be filming some content first.]

    [Whisper/zl John Hajin 12 -> Hoon: Ha… I should quickly reach level 201 and move on.]

    [Whisper/Hun -> zl John Hajin 12: I’ll be waiting for you so come quickly.]

    Jeonghoon closed his ears after saying those words.

    ‘You look like you’re in a good mood?’

    As Anima said the corners of Jeonghoon’s mouth rose to the point where they reached his ears.

    “huh.”

    Unlike before the regression there were no longer any relics that raised James Marcus’ specifications.

    On the contrary Jeong Hoon was able to improve his specifications compared to before his regression.

    Only by removing at least some distractions will I be able to finish this boring game.

    ===

    [Immortal Bond: Oath of Battle]

    – Type: Artifact

    – Grade: Legendary

    – Special ability (1): Configurable

    – Special ability (2): Configurable

    – Number of reinforcements remaining: 10

    ===

    Now it was time to strengthen this artifact.

    Before that.

    Jeong Hoon decided to set the abilities of the relic.

    These are the skills needed to proceed with the next plan.

    [Do you want to set special ability (1)?]

    [Abilities are set randomly and can be reset if it is an option you do not want.]

    [The amount required to reset is ‘10 gold’.]

    10 gold for one reset.

    This means that you have to spend 100000 won in Korean won to reset the option.

    ‘This is what a hippopotamus that eats money is like.’

    Unlike Unique this is a Legendary grade relic that requires you to set options yourself.

    Jeonghoon immediately pressed settings.

    [‘Attack power increased by 50’]

    Then a 50% increase in attack power appeared in black letters.

    ‘…I didn’t even expect it at first.’

    Increased attack power by 50 is not a bad option but it was not the option that Jeonghoon wanted.

    Jeong Hoon invested 10 gold to reset the option.

    [‘Increase defense by 10%’]

    This time a 10% increase in defense was displayed in yellow text.

    As the number increases the color of the text changes.

    But this wasn’t it either.

    Jeong Hoon invested 10 gold again.

    [‘Berserker’]

    And the Berserker option in red letters appeared.

    “oh! Berserker?”

    Berserker was James Marcus’ favorite option.

    Even if all other options were changed he was the one who steadfastly maintained the berserker.

    [Berserker]

    -Type: Passive

    -Grade: Legendary

    -When hitting/being hit with a certain amount of damage attack power increases by 1.2 times for 180 seconds.

    -When hitting/being hit with a certain amount of damage defense increases by 1.2 times for 180 seconds.

    -When hitting/being hit with a certain amount of damage all skill damage increases by 5% for 180 seconds

    -Reactivation time 600 seconds

    A passive skill that automatically activates when dealing a certain amount of damage or being hit.

    ‘Because there is nothing more fraudulent than attaching skills to a relic.’

    Attaching skills to artifacts is possible starting from the unique level.

    However it was not possible to have such a powerful option.

    Legendary and Unique are the difference between heaven and earth.

    [Do you want to set special abilities (2)?]

    [Abilities are set randomly and can be reset if it is an option you do not want.]

    [The amount required to reset is ‘10 gold’.]

    Likewise I set the second option right away.

    [‘Attack power increased by 7%’]

    ‘It’s done. Let’s go with this.’

    The first special ability could acquire skills but the second special ability could not acquire skills.

    So it was ideal to use the first skill based on the skill and the second one by rotating the options depending on the situation.

    Since the attack power increase applies to normal attacks even if the skill is not used it was decided to stop at the attack power increase.

    ‘Is the setup complete?’

    “huh. “Now I just need to strengthen it.”

    The method of strengthening artifacts is simple.

    This is because even without a reinforcement magician you could select an artifact and strengthen it using the reinforcement icon at the bottom right.

    [Please select the material to use for reinforcement.]

    Jeong Hoon chose an old relic purchased at a coin shop.

    [Would you like to try strengthening?]

    [Expected success rate: 100%]

    When an artifact of the same level was raised the expected success rate was 100%.

    Jeong Hoon immediately attempted to reinforce.

    Then light burst from the relic for a moment and disappeared in an instant.

    [The reinforcement was successful.]

    Jeong Hoon proceeded with all 9 remaining reinforcements.

    * * *

    Push-ik-

    The capsule door opened and Jeonghoon came out.

    The smile did not leave his lips.

    ‘It’s done. ‘I finished the full course.’

    Now that he has successfully completed the first project he planned in the Free City all that remains is to wait for Mukho to be restored.

    “Let’s move as soon as the seal is restored.”

    Now that the New World is slowly approaching reality a long rest was a luxury.

    ‘Third chaos. That’s when the count begins.’

    There was quite a bit of time left before the third chaos began.

    Until then you must complete everything you have planned as much as possible.

    ‘I need to get some rest before that.’

    Currently Jeong Hoon’s body is no different from that of an ordinary adult male.

    So he needs to get some rest so he can carry out his next plan.

    When I went into the living room I saw his mother reading a book.

    “huh? “Did you come out early today son?”

    When Jeong-Hoon appeared my mother closed the book she was reading.

    “yes. “I’m going to rest for a while.”

    “I see.”

    “How is your mother? Have you been to the gun tower?”

    The owner of a gun tower that appeared earlier than the original period.

    He was impressed by her mother’s talent and even invited her to become her student.

    There must have been some favoritism towards the head of the tower.

    “okay. “I’ve already reached level 150.”

    “So quickly…?”

    It looks like they are giving more than expected.

    “huh. “Every time I receive a quest my level goes up quickly.”

    Aren’t you going to catch up to Kim Bong-gu’s level if you keep doing this?

    That wasn’t all.

    As expected Chongtapju is said to be fully supporting his mother’s growth passing on her skills and even bestowing her with a title.

    ‘If things continue like this your mother will soon make it to the third round right?’

    A smile appeared on Jeonghoon’s lips.

    “So you don’t have work today?”

    “I came out on purpose. “I did it all day and my body felt sore.”

    It was not easy to enter the capsule and sit still for a long time.

    “Then should we eat out for the first time in a while?”

    “That’s good!”

    “I’ll make a reservation right away!”

    Let’s go to my mother’s favorite raw fish restaurant.

    Jeong Hoon made a reservation at a nearby raw fish restaurant that was known to be expensive.
