Chapter Title: Unique, Really?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Unique?
Kim Bong-gus job was Ambush Fighter.
It was Epic grade.
He had originally been an Assassin, but hed leveled up to Epic during the event hed participated in with Jeong Hoon not long ago.
Honestly, even that had felt like more than he deserved, and now he was being told to upgrade to Unique during his third class change?
That didnt make any sense!
Going again.
Whoosh!
Jeong Hoon, who had started on his own whim, swung his dagger in a wide arc.
This time, the attack was perfectly visible.
Activating Shadow Slash.
Kim Bong-gu activated Shadow Slash to parry Jeong Hoons dagger.
It was a training dagger, so maybe he could just overpower it with his gear advantage and pin him down?
But the moment their daggers were about to clash, Jeong Hoon flicked his downward.
Then he unleashed a movement skill, swiftly slicing across Kim Bong-gus side as he passed.
Argh!
The burning pain in his side was brief. Jeong Hoon closed in again, swinging his dagger.
Clang! Clang!
Kim Bong-gu barely managed to block Jeong Hoons attacks.
Damn what the hell? Whys he so good with a dagger?
Even with weapon proficiency bonuses from his job, blocking Jeong Hoons strikes was beyond him.
He was proficient with bows, swords, and now daggers too?
Remember this. If it cant be tuned, its scrap.
Flinch.
Scrap meant discarded, right?
For a moment, his mood lifted.
How happy would he be to escape that viper?
Hed probably feel like he owned the world.
But looking at those damn eyes, it didnt seem like hed go quietly.
No way he means hell just eliminate me?
Sure enough, the corner of Jeong Hoons mouth curled up slightly.
It meant exactly what he was thinking.
This bastard!
Activating Shadow Step.
He used Shadow Step to put distance between him and Jeong Hoon.
Jeong Hoon countered with his own movement skill, closing in to pressure him.
At that moment, just before stepping, Kim Bong-gu activated the mark hed placed on the ground.
Activating Shadow Mark.
With Shadow Mark activated, his body instantly teleported to the marks location.
Still not far enough.
The trace of Kim Bong-gu left behind from the teleport.
Activating Shadow Explosion.
The trace exploded, catching Jeong Hoon in the blast.
Activating Stealth.
Activating Shadow Step.
Then, with Stealth active, he used Shadow Step to maximize the distance.
Hoo, hoo, damn. Is this enough?
He didnt even hope to take Jeong Hoon down.
He just hoped hed be even a little satisfied.
Oh, that one surprised me.
As expected, Jeong Hoon was completely unscathed despite the explosion.
But hearing praise from him brought a bit of relief.
Activating Shadow Throwing Stars.
But it wasnt over yet.
Three black throwing stars appeared in Kim Bong-gus hand.
Designating target.
Target designated: User Hoon.
Hup!
Kim Bong-gu hurled the throwing stars with force.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The designated stars flew straight at Jeong Hoon and embedded perfectly.
Got him!
A smile spread across Kim Bong-gus face.
Just a bit more damage like this!
Okay. You didnt just play around. Pass.
A chilling voice came from right beside Kim Bong-gu.
Jeong Hoon was standing there before he knew it.
Three throwing stars were lodged in his chest.
Gahhh!
Kim Bong-gu yelped in shock, his Stealth breaking as he collapsed on the spot.
Whats with the screaming?
Jeong Hoon pulled out the stars with his hand and healed himself.
Hed taken them on purpose, and the damage was decent.
At this level, getting Unique didnt seem impossible.
A training curriculum rapidly formed in his mind.
Uh so, does that mean I passed?
Meanwhile, oblivious Kim Bong-gu relaxed at the word pass.
Yeah. Now lets get serious.
Huh? Serious?
Proper tuning.
The corner of Jeong Hoons mouth twisted up.
At that devilish smile, Kim Bong-gus face drained of color.
Ha-jin, having passed Karyans training, slept for a full 24 hours straight.
Hed only slept 2-3 hours a day during training, so the fatigue had piled up.
Ha-jin turned his phone back on, which hed deliberately kept off.
Training was over now, so no need to keep it off, right?
Connecting to data, notifications from Jang Dae-hwi exploded.
Hey! Check the views quick!
In short, check the Nutube video.
What the hell did they upload to make him like this?
Ha-jin hadnt participated in this video.
And due to training, he hadnt even heard what it was from Jeong Hoon.
Hed been too tired to ask properly last call.
Wyverns Nest: There Was a Hidden Route? (Boss Just Melted)
Views: 15,543,212
F-Fifteen million?!
Ha-jins eyes nearly popped out seeing the views.
How long had it been up, and it already hit 15 million?
Real-time rank 1.
Top rising video.
Views still climbing in real time.
Comments nearing 100,000.
HoneyTube
Subscribers: 976,000
One Lord Wyvern subjugation video had them closing in on 1 million subs.
Hed never seen such overwhelming growth.
Whoa
How do you even subjugate to go this viral?
Ha-jin clicked the video and watched.
The moment it ended, he rushed to log in via capsule.
Hey! Hoon?
Ha-jin stopped mid-call to Jeong Hoon.
In Training Ground 2, Jeong Hoon was intensely training Kim Bong-gu.
Guhk!
Whatre you doing? If you block like that, how do you defend the next attack?
Y-Yes, sir
Then why repeat the same mistake?
Honestly, I dont know what to do here.
Then take more hits. Youll start seeing it bit by bit.
Jeong Hoon gripped his dagger again and pressed Kim Bong-gu.
No way I can butt in here.
In the end, Ha-jin sat at a distance and watched their training.
It looked like Jeong Hoon was tormenting Kim Bong-gu insanely, but up close, he was attacking via repeated routes.
Whenever Kim Bong-gu countered, hed exploit the opening for the next attack.
Its like watching Karyan.
Exactly how Karyan had trained him.
A brutal method, but it let Ha-jin learn a ton in a short time.
Probably what Jeong Hoon wanted too.
Better not interrupt now.
Ha-jin stood and left the training ground.
He headed down to the underground prison where Karyan worked.
Youre here?
A new question mark blinked above his head.
Hidden Class Change Quest: Dark Lord (13)
-Restriction: One Recognized by Karyan
-Reward: Hidden Class Change Quest: Dark Lord (23) Unlocked
-Description: Hear the story of the Dark Lords memoir from Karyan.
Yes. Tell me now.
Ha-jins eyes burned with seriousness.
Production complete.
The 72 hours of crafting time had passed.
Jeong Hoon approached Kim Bong-gu, who was groaning covered in dirt, and used healing.
Using Intermediate Healing.
Alright, trainings done.
Th-Thank you
Good work. Now go upgrade to Unique.
Is training really over?
Yeah.
Thank you!
Excluding 3 hours sleep and meals, the rest was repeated drills.
Jeong Hoon had properly whipped Kim Bong-gu for 72 hours.
Wow, you can push someone that hard.
The devil would shed tears.
Come to think of it, youve seen devils. How were they?
Theyd give a standing ovation for this.
Jeong Hoon chuckled dryly at Animas serious response.
Itll be tough, but youll thank me later.
It definitely would.
Why repeat the same attack every time?
Whenever attacking Bong-gu, the first move always targeted his left chest.
Bong-gu, who couldnt respond at first, could now last 32 exchanges.
To make him get Unique.
It was attribute training tailored for the next class quest.
If he still didnt get Unique after this no mercy.
Oh, perfect timing.
Arriving at the workshop, Vermand greeted him warmly.
On the table lay the item crafted from the Lord Wyverns heart.
Black Heart Ring
-Type: Ring
-Grade: Unique
-Special Ability (1): When drawing out the rings black magic power, increases all wearers black magic power by 10.
-Special Ability (2): Black magic power operation speed 10.
-Special Ability (3): Debuff Skill Registration Possible
Just Unique grade, but the stats were broken.
Boosts black magic power by a whopping 10, operation speed 10insane options.
Plus, it could register a debuff skill.
No wonder Sophia felt robbed.
Shed lost 15 of this broken rings power.
Thank you.
Coming to Vermand was the right call.
But Vermands expression wasnt great.
Hmm but that ring. I couldnt remove the black magic power no matter what. Sorry about that.
Black magic power, different from normal mana.
The dark mana used by black mages.
The hearts mana source was black magic to begin with, so inevitable.
Its fine.
But you cant use it.
Jeong Hoon wielded mana and holy power.
He could probably handle black magic if he wanted, but he had no intention now or ever.
The rings for someone else.
Someone else?
Yes.
Jeong Hoon returned to the training ground and summoned Michael.
You called, Master?
Michael bowed politely but glanced around.
Hed only done chores lately, so he eyed if this was more.
That attitude made Jeong Hoon suddenly dislike giving it to him
Still, best to give to someone reliable.
Michael, got something for you.
For me?
Yeah.
Jeong Hoon held out the ring.
Michaels eyes widened as he took it.
Wh-What is this?
A ring to make your necromancy stronger.
Gasp! Something this precious
Michael fiddled with the ring in disbelief, checking stats repeatedly.
Anyone could see the broken options.
Sudden gift like this? Natural reaction.
Use it to keep helping me.
Th-Thank you! Ill devote this life to serve you to the end!
Michael knelt and bellowed.
Achievement Unlocked! Completed Summoned Beast Item Grant! 3,000 achievement points awarded.
Summoned Beast: Michaels stats slightly increased.
Confidence filled Michaels face.
10 from one ringno fears for now.
Strengthening Michael was part, but main goal was snatching the ring meant for Sophia Stephanie Agalet.
Mission accomplished in Merhen.
Now, hit level 201 for third class change.
Though theres stuff to do first.
New Worlds signal, now indispensable.
Event timing approaching.
Second Chaos.
The event later called Second Chaos was about to begin.
