Return To Level Up

“The results are said to have come out.”

An employee of the management office checked the phone and said to Kang Ha-jin. Hajin Kang nodded his head and got up from his seat.

It had been over an hour and a half.

He had been there for so long that he couldn't stop talking to the staff at all.

He told Ha-jin Kang the information he knew all about it as if he liked it. In doing so, he gently mixed up twisted information about the guilds and conglomerates he was associated with.

Most of the people who have spoken with that employee for a long time will probably leave a seed of distrust about some companies. I have a crush on some companies.

Hajin Kang followed the guidance of the staff and headed somewhere. Of course, Hajin Kang knew where it was.

'Did the female employee do the same at that time?'

I don't remember well. But you probably did. In the Awakening Management Office, all staff related to novice Awoken are in contact with large corporations and large guilds.

Awakening information is very important, so it is managed in strict security.

However, that is only detailed information, and information such as potential or level could be checked by any management office employee.

The details were so thoroughly managed that only those who had permission and a certificate from the head of the administration could never see it. Even if it is the Awoken himself.

“It is here.”

They arrived at the information management room located on the top floor of the management office.

“Come on, come in.”

The staff skillfully guided Ha-jin Kang and went inside.

“Well, it’s not great information, but wouldn’t it be reluctant to just disclose it in a crowded place? That’s why we’re allowing you to check it out for yourself in this way.”

The information control room was very narrow. It wasn't because the room was small, but it was filled with other things, so there wasn't much space for people to stand.

As soon as I entered, I saw a small monitor.

Kang Ha-jin's information was displayed on the monitor.

[Awakening Level - C]

[Main Attribute - Freeze]

[Attachment - Healing]

[Technology - Sword]

[Potential Rating - D]

Hajin Kang, who had seen that far, nodded her head inwardly. This information closely resembled the information she had intentionally revealed when tested using the ability concealment skill.

When I was practicing, I was skeptical because there was no way to check the truth, but when I saw the results, it seemed that if I practiced a little more, it would become a very useful skill.

‘I wasn’t going to show you a cure.’

Still, looking at it, it seemed that the healing power was very weak.

A staff member standing next to me gave me additional explanations.

“It’s not that there is no possibility of healing at all, but it’s probably better not to worry about it. Only the word “healing” has a different color, isn’t it?”

"Yeah. That's right. It’s just blue.”

“There are related attributes, but they are so weak that they appear like this in vague cases. If it was yellow, there is a possibility, but in fact, if it is blue, it would be easier to see that it is not.”

While saying that, the staff glanced at Ha-jin Kang's eyes. I'm telling you that you don't have any talent, but who would be happy to accept it?

But Kang Ha-jin nodded her head insignificantly.

“Even if I had talent there, I had no intention of nurturing it. I don't know if there is only one. I treat other people too, and that doesn’t fit my personality.”

At that moment, the expression on the employee's face brightened.

“You thought well. Here, the freeze attribute is also awesome. It’s not something you can have if you want, so you can expect it.”

"i See."

“And although the potential level is a bit low, the basic level is C, so if you work hard, you will be able to get up to A level enough. It's very rare for a base grade to reach a C normally.”

“It’s kind of nice.”

Ha-jin Kang gave a semi-official answer and then looked at the staff and asked.

“Can I go now?”

“Oh, of course. We will issue you a registration card right away, so you can take it with you.”

Hajin Kang wanted to check the rest of the information that was not displayed on the monitor, but she had no way to see it now.

'I wonder if it was well concealed as I set it up...'

There is no way right now, so I decided to try again later. To check it, you need to break through the management office server.

After receiving the Awakened Registration Certificate, Kang Ha-jin came out of the management office.

She and she used concealment abilities. From now on, anyone can see that Ha-jin Kang is a perfect ordinary person. If only he had the ability.

Rather, it was easier to use it to hide the ability at all.

As Ha-jin Kang walked away, some people's eyes came and were fixed on him.

They were scouts from companies or guilds.

Although the probability of awakening was low, the awakening was steadily taking place.

And when you wake up, you must go to the Awakened Persons Management Office and register.

So, this is the best place to scout the Awoken at an affordable price.

The problem was to sort out those who were awakened and those who were not. Scouts solved it with equipment.

It was a magic sensor. Of course, performance is not sophisticated. However, it was enough to detect the agglomeration of magical powers.

When Hajin Kang passed by, they reflexively used a magic sensor. Write it down to everyone passing by.

When there was no reaction, they mechanically turned their heads again and looked at the entrance to the management office.

Kang Ha-jin left the place without any trouble.

Of course, this does not end there. Sooner or later, personal information about Kang Ha-jin will be passed on to large guilds or large corporations. Then there will be another Scout War.

Because now was the time to unconditionally secure a large number regardless of the abilities of the Awakened.

* * *

Hajin Kang opened the door to his rooftop room. It was a long time ago, but it wasn't difficult to find the house.

Kang Ha-jin entered the rooftop room and looked around for a moment. At the time, he remembered living here.

It was really dark.

His parents died before he even graduated from high school. Also, because he had to suffer from an illness, he had no money left at home.

He had several relatives, but no contact.

Hajin Kang lived with his teeth alone.

The only rest he was allowed to take was to climb a mountain.

His only hobby was to go up and down the mountain quickly once a month, on a Sunday, working in the morning and briefly in the afternoon.

And I probably won't even do that from now on. Because he was already a distant hobby before his return.

Hajin Kang slowly looked around his room. He was so long ago that he needed to know more clearly what his situation was.

That way he knows what he can do and what he needs to prepare to do what he wants.

As he searched through the house, unexpected memories suddenly appeared. Was his own hair this good? He thought for a moment.

‘Is it because I have high mental strength?’

High mental strength doesn't mean that your brain gets better than that number, but it doesn't matter at all.

Anyway, mental power is one of the powers that use the brain.

Hajin Kang found some of his bankbooks. He also found a bundle of cash he had kept at home.

Even in the midst of hardship, he kept collecting money, and he remembered winning the lottery a while ago.

Although he was only third, the money remained in cash in his desk drawer.

When I checked my bankbook, there was 23 million won in total.

“I’ve collected quite a bit. You have worked really hard.”

Ha-jin Kang first went to the bank and found the rest except for a little money to use for living expenses for the time being.

With more than 20 million won in cash, he headed to a dungeon on the Han River.

It's called the Han River Dungeon, but it was a public dungeon.

Although it is very rare, there were cases where the dungeon was completely conquered and did not disappear.

Even though the core that maintains the dungeon was pulled out, the monster did not appear because the dungeon did not disappear.

And compared to other dungeons, the environment was not very hostile to humans.

The most important thing was that there were no restrictions on access to the dungeon. So even non-Awakened people could come in and out.

Such dungeons were used as a means of earning money by opening them with a reasonable entrance fee.

Among them, the Han River Dungeon was more special.

It was a place where facilities for the Awakened were gathered. There was an equipment shop only for the Awakened, and there was also a training ground for the Awakened.

As the Han River dungeon began to be seen in the distance, Ha-jin Kang's eyes sank slightly.

A huge cruise ship dock was built on the banks of the Han River. The dock was the entrance to the dungeon.

There was also a cruise ship moored at the pier. In fact, it was a method of operating a dungeon while operating a cruise ship along the Han River.

The marina was not as big as expected. In fact, there was no need to make the outside bigger because the dungeon inside was huge.

Rather, there was a very well-developed parking lot near the pier.

There were several separate parking lot buildings, and there were countless spacious parking spaces around the parking lot building.

Next time he thought he would bring his car, Ha-jin Kang moved and entered the marina.

I saw a ticket office selling dungeon passes. And I saw a door leading to the dungeon.

Even after entering that door, I had to walk about 5 meters to reach the dungeon. There were two people guarding the dungeon.

Hajin Kang showed his Awakened Registration Card and went inside.

A blackened portal was seen. The black portal was sparkling as if it had been sprinkled with silver dust.

‘Looking like this, it’s like looking at the night sky.’

He had never thought of it that way before, though he had been here so often.

Hajin Kang entered the portal.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Her vision changed dramatically with the sensation of passing through jelly.

It was like crossing into another world. Light flew everywhere.

It was as if a fairy made of light was playing. It wasn't wrong at all. Because it was the spirit of light.

This dungeon was originally a dungeon of spirits.

Monsters using the power of the spirits were infested, and after removing all the monsters, only the spirits that the monsters used remained and showed this scene.

The spirits in this dungeon were never harmful.

Because there were only light and dark spirits, beads of light and darkness flew all over the place.

The scene was truly indescribably mysterious.

Also, there were a lot of people watching it. And this place was large enough for so many people to play leisurely.

There was a huge park. And past the park, the shopping street continues.

The shopping street was set up as if it were a large lodging facility, and a huge cliff surrounded the lodging facility.

A forest stretched out over the cliff, and the trees that made up the forest were a species that could not be seen anywhere else on the planet.

Under the influence of a spirit, a tree grew in the form of burning fire or gushing water. It was even bearing the fruits of light and darkness, so it was difficult to take your eyes off it once you looked at it.

It was truly magnificent. This is why so many people come here for sightseeing.

Hajin Kang passed the park and entered the shopping district.

There were several shopping malls, not just one. There was a place where a restaurant gathered, and a place where a souvenir shop gathered.

And there was also a street where shops dedicated to the Awakening were gathered.

When the Awakened comes here, most of them go to the A-Market inside that shopping street.

A-Market was a shop that sold equipment made using items from the dungeon.

It is considered the most famous in the world. A-Market here was a chain store. It was the A-Market Seoul branch.

But that wasn't the place Ha-jin Kang wanted to go.

Ha-jin Kang passed a place where accommodation facilities were gathered through the alley leading to the back of the shopping street.

The place that Ha-jin Kang really wanted to go to was a hidden place a little far from here.

Hajin Kang arrived at the place where the alley and the cliff were connected. And he found a very cleverly hidden cave entrance.

It was hidden using human optical illusions, so it just looked like a clogged cliff no matter how much you looked at it.

Hajin Kang entered the cave entrance as if digging into a cliff.

It was a black market that had been set up inside the dungeon.
