A Genius Gamer, Reincarnated in a Heroic Family Episode 66
Harmonious family meal (2)
After completely organizing his duties and completing his report, Harang returned to Nokbaek Palace for the first time in a while.
Still, it was a palace prepared as a home just for Harang, but it still felt unfamiliar, perhaps because it had not been used for too long.
“You did my favor, Soirin.”
The atmosphere of Green White Palace was quite different from when I visited last time.
Harang, who did not like the overly medieval feel of the furniture arrangement, ordered Soirin to decorate it with a fairly modern interior in order to test Soirin’s abilities and give her a trial at the same time.
The worst thing to do here is to finish the interior in a half-hearted manner, with little labor, saying that you have to carry out the master’s orders alone.
I expected that if she really wanted to prove her ability, she would bring in a variety of people and use caution to finish it, but I had no idea that she would achieve this level in just one month.
“Yes, master. “I don’t know if you liked it.”
“This is great. There wasn’t a separate blueprint drawn, it was all just communicated orally, but it was decorated in such a similar way… … .”
In some ways, the interior design could be said to be not aristocratic, with all the colorful decorations removed and simple wallpaper and monochromatic furniture arranged.
Harang liked this light interior. The dormitory she lived in as a professional gamer felt like this, and she also felt like she had trouble concentrating when the atmosphere around her was chaotic when playing games.
As for the sofa, as Harang wanted, it had a practical and soft texture rather than a medieval feel.
‘It would be perfect to have a TV and a computer here… … ‘It would be unreasonable to expect that level of technology.’
I wasn’t an expert in this field in my past life, and even if I knew about the existence of computers, I couldn’t just use magic.
‘Anyway, I’ve acquired a potential stimulant, so I’ll have to think about it.’
In return for completing this quest, Harang received an item [Potential Stimulant] that can awaken a skill as desired. Harang felt a bit of injustice toward her, to the point where he wondered why she was only giving this to him now.
‘It reminds me of the days when I went through painstaking pains to awaken just one skill… … .’
The stimulant was so small and round that it had to be held with the index finger and thumb. You can think of skills just by taking one of these red pills.
“huh?”
Harang, who was slowly looking at the stimulant through his morning star, suddenly thought of the phrase ‘potential’ a little.
If you use it to awaken potential, wouldn’t it be a bit of a loss to just awaken the skill?
After taking a closer look, I was able to find out what it was.
“Ah… … “It’s like this.”
Unleash your potential.
Literally, it was a medicine that helped people reach a new level by providing ‘a very small amount of enlightenment’ to those who had reached a level of skill through training but were unable to acquire it.
In other words, this means that the skills you can acquire with this can be acquired at any time if you want to.
The point is that a 4-star Harang cannot immediately acquire a 7-star skill.
There is no way such a convenient pill exists that allows you to take a skill whenever you want it.
Even if you have Kaladun’s power.
Kaladun seemed to have given this to him as a condescending message, telling him to acquire the skill he wanted, but it was a waste of pills to use so comfortably.
‘Wouldn’t it be possible to strengthen this not simply with the skills from my previous life, but with the skills acquired here?’
For example, acquiring or strengthening skills that have been stagnant.
‘Heavenly Sword? no. That’s impossible. The techniques of the Heavenly Sword are still vague, so it won’t work. Combining skills with Kaladun herbivory is also… … If you just invest time, you can do it yourself.’
Harang scratched his head. You can’t acquire high-level skills that you haven’t yet realized, and you can only acquire skills that you can acquire whenever you want.
‘4-star magic? no. This also has enough magic core, so you can reach it through learning. My skills are still not enough to strengthen my swordsmanship… … .’
After a while, a thought occurred to me.
“Isn’t this crap?”
Looking at it this way, it doesn’t seem like a particularly good reward.
“… … “Hey, master.”
“huh. why?”
“As you requested, I added ice to my coffee… … .”
“Ah, thank you.”
Did you say that in this world, the act of adding ice to coffee feels foreign? I also understood why Soirin tilted her head.
‘Well, no. ‘I don’t have to go far. I heard that even in Italy, there are people who get sick of Korean Iced Americano.’
No matter what they thought, cold coffee with sugar was Harang’s only favorite food.
I was not feeling well, so smoking was suicidal, and I could barely drink.
‘Why do you smoke cigarettes in the first place?’
Why are you trying to destroy that healthy body yourself? This was incomprehensible to Harang, who had suffered from an incurable disease since birth.
“… … It’s a healthy body. Ah, that’s right.”
Now that I think about it, I gained a new [Holy] stat this time.
Although it has been assimilated into the magical core, the divine power itself can still only be extracted at the level of 1 star.
Although he brought along enough prayers for simple healing and purification of poisons, it was difficult to hope for great blessings like Exact with his divine power.
From the beginning, blessings were accompanied by strong faith in God.
‘but… … ‘I really want something called a blessing.’
Just receiving the Great Blessing has the effect of curing diseases and removing curses, but the effect of temporarily increasing one’s abilities significantly was what Harang wanted the most.
How good would it be to fight with a buff on yourself?
Of course, it is obvious that it is not an easy task. If that were easy, all the paladins of Makeris would have learned the blessing.
Even the Knight of Makeris, who had a more devout faith than anyone else, did not have the confidence to accomplish the difficult task right away.
but.
‘I also want it.’
Among the skills Harang had in his previous life, ‘buff-type skills’ were extremely rare.
When I got Danggakhyang Advent the other day, I was so happy that I got a buff-type skill.
‘I don’t know how to refine magic crystals, so I’ve never used them yet… … .’
Harang’s worries did not last long.
‘Why not give it a try?’
Since he knew that he could acquire other skills quickly anyway, the best option for him was to strengthen his sacred power, which was the most difficult and restrictive to train.
“Soirin. “I’m sorry, but can you leave for a moment?”
“All right… … .”
After sending Soi-rin outside, Harang light-heartedly popped the pill into his mouth and drank a shot of iced coffee.
Then wait with your chin resting on the armrest of the sofa with one hand.
[List of acquireable skills]
A system window appeared.
Harang, who had been skimming through the list, put the window aside, thinking it was as expected. Then, close her eyes and wish intensely with her heart.
‘blessing.’
[Warning, the blessing skill does not exist in the acquisition list.]
‘Give me your blessing.’
[Warning, the blessing skill does not exist in the acquisition list… … .]
‘If you don’t have it, make it and bring it.’
[Warning, the blessing skill is subject to acquisition… .]
‘Give me a blessing. Give me a blessing. ‘Give me your blessing.’
Harang clasped his hands together and activated the full protection system and began to raise all the sacred power in his body.
‘Bless me, please bless me… … .’
Dozens or hundreds of failures.
Despite constantly repeating the process of failing several times a second, Harang did not give up and squeezed out all of his divine power without leaving a single trace.
Finally.
[Notice, the creation process for the skill ‘Blessing (Temporary)’ has begun.]
Harang was able to achieve what he wanted. Of course, because he was creating a skill that had no possibility at all, the process was not smooth.
[The subject of faith does not exist. Decide on the object of your faith.]
“The subject of faith… … ? “Why can’t I do it on my own?”
A warning sound sounded.
[impossible]
“… … I can’t help it. “You can roughly choose any religion, right?”
If you ask into the air, no one will give you an answer. While Harang was thinking for a moment, feeling somewhat embarrassed, suddenly.
Jiiiing!!
The space opened as if a hole had been opened in the ceiling, and something like a pillar of light poured down and illuminated the river.
“Tsk… … ?!”
[The passage to the sacred world is temporarily connected!]
Immediately after, countless notifications began to fill my vision.
[Notice, ‘Divinity of the Mysterious Spirit’ would like to shower you with blessings.]
[Dragon King Calantatis kicks!]
[Notice, the ‘divinity of the situation’ would like to shower you with blessings.]
[Dragon King Calantatis kicks!]
[Notice, the ‘Divinity of Deep Freeze’ is pouring down upon you… … .]
[Dragon King Calantatis kicks!]
[Dragon King Calantatis kicks!]
[Dragon King Calantatis… … !]
“What’s this.”
Even while he was unconscious, Harang was able to quickly grasp the situation.
“… … Ah, so that was it?”
A ‘god’ with a large number of believers possesses more powerful divine power.
It was a common setting and a common story.
It was a law that also applied in this world, and in addition, if the believer was famous or powerful, the reputation of the god he or she worshiped seemed to increase further.
‘It’s not for nothing that priests work hard at missionary work.’
He chuckled and brushed aside all the countless messages that appeared before his eyes.
“You can stop and go back to rest, my precious contractor and partner. “Being blessed means being subordinate to them.”
Harang chuckled and spoke to the ‘divinity’ who might be watching from somewhere in the sky.
“I will be equal to those guys, but even better than them… … “There’s no need to make a contract like that, right?”
As soon as that cheeky remark ended, the entire message disappeared in an instant.
It was as if he was running away.
Messages disappearing one by one. However, until the end, one message did not disappear and he was looking at Harang steadfastly.
[Notice, the ‘Silver and White Sword Divinity’ has reached out his hand to you.]
The wording was slightly different. The fact that he held out his hand, rather than throwing a tantrum, was truly unique.
Calantatis did not kick that divinity but left it alone, but while Harang was questioning it, a hypothesis suddenly occurred to him.
“Surely you are the warrior Kaladan?”
There was no answer back. Does this mean that God and humans cannot communicate?
But Harang was sure.
Although I couldn’t see it, I had the illusion that a hand of light was reaching out towards me.
Harang slowly got up from the sofa and tied his hair tightly.
A sign of respect for Calathan.
“… … “I respect you.”
When I got down on one knee and stretched out my hand toward the sky, it felt like… … It felt as if we were holding hands made of light.
It wasn’t just words; Harang truly respected, admired, and was grateful to Kaladan.
If Caladorn had not asked Calanthatis to raise a successor, Harang would have died.
Because I wouldn’t have had such a happy second life… … .
‘The first human to reach the level of divinity by surpassing the 10th grade in a human body.’
Harang’s heart was pounding. Doesn’t the mere fact that this frail body surpass the world’s strongest living being and become equal to God make you feel endless admiration?
To be able to face someone like that. She lifted her head towards the sky and closed her eyes, purely feeling the emotions rush through her heart.
The purpose was to feel this strong energy more deeply.
The touch of light became more and more present, and eventually a halo of light burst out so bright that I couldn’t open my eyes.
Harang, who sensed that this was the last time, told him the last thing he wanted to say.
“I will always live with the blessings I have received engraved in my heart.”
Shuuu… … !
Did you even listen to what he said?
Eventually, the pillar of light that poured all the light into Harang gradually narrowed and finally disappeared completely.
When he could no longer feel Kaladun’s presence, Harang slowly tried to get up.
If only I hadn’t felt the pain that made my heart flutter right after that.
“Ugh?!”
[Potential Stimulant Use Completed!]
[The ability ‘Divinity’ reaches 2 stars, and there is a change in the magic core.]
[Magic Core 5 stars achieved!]
[With the addition of divine power to the magic core, the merger of ‘Silver Heart’ and ‘Magic Core’ is in progress.]
[…] … An error occurred.]
“Ugh… … !”
Harang burst into tears and vomited blood.
When I lifted my hand covering my mouth, I saw that the blood was all black, like oil. She knew it well because she had experienced a similar situation before.
These were all the impurities that had accumulated in Harang’s body, especially in his heart.
[During the integration process, unnecessary magic accumulated in the magic core interferes with the circulation process.]
[Do you want to burn and remove all impure magical power?]
“Impure magical power… … .”
Although it is impure, it is all Harang’s magic power. Removing it means that your total mana amount will be greatly reduced, but is there any reason to do that?
However, Harang’s skill ‘White Silver Dragon’s Heart’ had been warning him for a long time.
‘… … Come to think of it, I’ve always felt like something was blocking me when using mana.’
That was what most people who trained their mana felt in this world, but since there were few solutions, they had no choice but to live with it.
Harang described this as ‘the feeling of moss stuck in a pipe.’
Most warriors and magicians have no choice but to live with these impurities in their bodies… … .
‘What if all impurities were removed?’
Right now, you may feel like you have become weaker because your total horsepower has decreased.
But, in the near future.
Or, in the distant future, Harang, who grew up using only pure magical power, will be able to obtain a ‘pure magical core’ that cannot be compared to anyone else.
“Okay, let’s get started. “I will take the lead.”
It was truly a huge decision to have to drastically reduce one’s magical power, but it was also something that could not be attempted except now, when one was only fourteen.
If Harang had been around 20 years old, most of his magical power would have been filled with impurities and he would not have been able to do it.
Woah-!!
“Ugh… … !”
As his entire body began to be engulfed in a pure white light, starting from the area near the heart of his chest, Harang desperately gritted his teeth and activated the ‘White Silver Dragon’s Heart Ball’.
Removing most of one’s mana and condensing the purest magical energy.
It was painful and painful.
For the future, it must be done.
