The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

* * *

The initial reward given was the basic promotion match result reward.

[Won first place in the TOP 100 promotion match.]

[Obtained 5 million GP as a reward.]

[Level has increased to 5.]

[Obtained the title 'King of Kings - Silver'.]

Sung JiHan, who obtained the title 'King of Kings' just like when he won first place in Bronze, examined the title.

[King of Kings - Silver]

- A title given to the winner of the TOP 100 promotion match.

- All stats increase by +5 in the Gold League, and a 50% increase in experience points is applied.

"The stat increase is the same as in Bronze."

Both Bronze and Silver have a +5 increase.

It seemed that there was no value in just changing the title from Bronze to Silver.

Sung JiHan immediately replaced the title and continued to look at the system messages.

[Special achievement, 'Facing the Holy See', has been cleared.]

[Obtained 100,000 achievement points as a reward.]

[Special achievement, 'Dealing a blow to the Holy See', has been cleared.]

[Obtained 200,000 achievement points as a reward.]

The achievement of winning first place in the TOP 100 didn't appear again, probably because it was already cleared in Bronze.

The points given by the achievements related to the Holy See were tremendous.

30,000 achievement points on top of the title, and even a phoenix feather.

It was a tremendous reward for just one match.

"So what's the special reward?"

Sung JiHan was more interested in the special reward promised by BattleNet.

[BattleNet Announcement]

"What happened today was due to the failure to detect the entry of the Holy See of the 'Dead Star' faction during the process of changing the map to a special map."

"We apologize once again to the player Sung JiHan and have prepared a special reward at the system level."

Finally, they're giving it.

Sung JiHan crossed his arms and briefly checked the additional message, waiting.

"All stats increase by 5."

"Level increases by an additional 10."

"Obtained the special stat 'Brain Thunder Seal'."

"The Brain Thunder Seal enhances the power of heavenly thunder and has strong resistance to mental contamination. It can bestow a seal of lightning on one player for every 20 points in stats."

"A player with the seal of lightning has strong resistance to mental contamination and can wield the power of lightning."

Sung JiHan opened his status window.

The Brain Thunder Seal, which took up two lines in the status window, like the Sword Shadow.

With this size, it was speculated to be a rare stat.

"But Sword Shadow and this, it's quite a coincidence."

Among the three Rising Martial Arts of the Nameless Divine Art.

The Yin Shadow and the Heavenly Thunder.

By participating in the TOP 100 promotion match twice, he obtained two stats that enhance them.

And also.

"The Yin Shadow seems to be related to the World Tree Union, and the Heavenly Thunder seems to be related to Kill the King...."

The two powerful forces that almost destroyed the Earth, the World Tree Union and Kill the King.

The World Tree Union completely neutralized the Earth in the Space League.

Kill the King emerged from the dungeon and annihilated the entire world with a large-scale army of ghosts.

"In my previous life, when I used the two Rising Martial Arts, I thought they were just opposite in attributes."

The Yin Shadow is of the Yin attribute.

The Heavenly Thunder is just thought to be a light-speed martial art.

I didn't think there would be any connection between the World Tree Union and Kill the King.

"For now, I need to grow stronger and learn more."

However, the most important thing to prioritize is power.

Once I reach level 100 and unify the Three Realms, I might be able to use the final Ascension Flow.

That's why Sung JiHan decided not to allocate any stat points to the rare stats, Gyeomyeong and Noin, and focused on maximizing their growth instead.

"But to give +5 stats to rare stats... If they're giving out rewards to this extent, I would have been really dragged away if I had been caught by Black Hand there."

If I had died to Black Hand and the game had just ended, they wouldn't give out rewards to this excessive degree.

Sung JiHan realized that the moment when the situation had regressed a little while ago was the most dangerous moment.

"Indeed, I'm still lacking."

Kalein, the Seat of the Dead Star, who had shown overwhelming power as his robe tore apart, was not the full extent of the Seat's power.

As long as someone like him was aiming for Sung JiHan, calling him the head, Sung JiHan had to have the power to resist.

Although the BattleNet system had prevented access to this world by the Seat of the Dead Star.

"But it was breached this time, so what about the next time?"

Rather than having high expectations for that, Sung JiHan resolved to become stronger as soon as possible.

Suddenly!

"Uncle!! How's your arm!!! Are you okay?"

"Oh, I'm fine."

"Ugh. You scared me! Why does your arm always get injured every time you have a TOP 100 match?"

After seeing Sung JiHan's unharmed right arm, Yoon Sae-ah let out a relieved sigh.

But when she saw the back of his hand, she blinked.

"Oh. But what's this?"

On Sung JiHan's right back of the hand, there was a white crown drawn.

It resembled the crown that had pierced the flag of Kill the King and the spear.

And the lines drawing the crown were flowing like electricity.

As soon as he saw this, he could immediately tell that it was a Noin.

"When I was in Bronze, something appeared on my left hand, and in Silver, something appeared on my right hand."

Come to think of it, when the Noin stat reaches 20, it was said that you can bestow the Seal of Lightning.

Sung JiHan examined the Noin stat in the status window.

"It's 25?"

Wasn't the initial stat value 10, not 5, like other stats?

With the recent reward of +5 to all stats and the effects of the title, the Noin stat was at 25.

"That's good. I'll give you a seal too."

"Huh? A seal?"

"Yeah. It's my first time doing this, but it won't hurt."

"...Really?"

"Probably? But how do I do it?"

When Sung JiHan looked at the seal and tilted his head, Yoon Sae-ah looked at him with worried eyes.

It won't hurt, right?

[Place the Seal of Lightning on the back of the target's hand.]

Seeing the system message, Sung JiHan grabbed Yoon Sae-ah's hand and immediately placed the seal.

Zzzt!

"Ah... It hurts!"

Yoon Sae-ah suddenly trembled in pain from the electric shock.

Wait, it's not supposed to hurt!

"Ah, sorry."

On the back of Yoon Sae-ah's hand, a smaller crown with the same pattern and appearance as Sung JiHan's had appeared.

"Uh... So what is this?"

"It's called the Seal of Lightning. Anyway, it's a good thing."

Sung JiHan explained the story as it was described in the system.

Yoon Se-ah's eyes sparkled, forgetting the pain.

"I can control the power of the brain waves? Is that so?"

"Yeah. I don't know the details either."

"Yeah. I already realized that when you told me it didn't hurt earlier."

With that, Yoon Se-ah waved her hand at Sung JiHan.

"Uncle~ Then I'll practice this. I'll use it in the promotion match tomorrow!"

With that, Yoon Se-ah left the room.

Sung JiHan smiled wryly as he watched his niece disappear like the wind.

Finally, he decided to check the Bonghwanggi given by the conqueror's soul.

"Inventory."

Sung JiHan opened his inventory and checked the item description.

[Bonghwanggi]

- Grade: SSS

- A weapon used by the descendants of the Bonghwang and the first Khan of the Wind Empire.

- It contains the heat of the Bonghwang when it is projected.

- When a flag is planted on the battlefield, it increases the stats of all nearby party members and allies by 25%.

- As an additional effect, if the user is a guild owner or guild master, it increases the overall option level of the guild by +4.

"SSS?"

Sung JiHan doubted his eyes.

He didn't have high expectations for this item, but what kind of crazy grade is this?

'The fact that it contains the heat of the Bonghwang when projected means that it's about SS grade when used as a weapon.'

An SS grade weapon.

It wasn't really a surprising value to be amazed at.

Of course, it was quite difficult to obtain a grade like this, but there were quite a few diamond players who possessed SS grade equipment.

But what was truly surprising were the special and additional effects that the Bonghwanggi possessed.

'Even just planting a flag gives a 25% buff to...'

Although it couldn't be used as a weapon, planting a flag on the battlefield.

Still, a 25% buff that applies to all teammates was a tremendous effect.

If a better weapon than the Bonghwanggi appeared, it would be best to start the battle by planting the flag without fail.

And...

'Guild option level +4.'

Guild options.

The current waiting guild's options were guild member expansion, stat increase, and growth rate increase, totaling three.

In this situation, all the focus was on the growth rate increase.

But if the guild member expansion and stat increase also increased by +4...

Sung JiHan quickly checked the waiting guild's options.

Guild member expansion (5/10) - LV.5

Stat increase (All stats +5) - LV.5

Growth rate increase (+150%) - LV.15

The buff effect applied just by possessing the Bonghwanggi.

Especially the stat increase, which had only been applied by +50% until now, had practically no effect in raising all stats.

But now, it was giving Sung JiHan an additional +5 to his stats, now that he had become a gold player.

'So that's why the brain stat was 25.'

He thought the brain stat started at 10 in the early stages.

But it seems like it started at 5, just like the other stats.

And the guild stat increase covered that.

'With this level of efficiency, SSS grade is not a waste. I should even try to raise it by one grade.'

Sung JiHan chuckled at the Bonghwanggi, which showed insane efficiency.

This TOP 100 match.

Due to a mistake on Battle.net, I gained too much.

"I'm looking forward to the next TOP 100."

We distributed rewards like this during the Bronze and Silver stages.

I wonder how it will be in Gold.

With a joyful heart, Sung JiHan went to the Penthouse Training Center where Yoon SeA was practicing.

Tomorrow is the promotion match, so I need your help with using the Lightning Emblem.

But...

"Oh? Uncle... did you come to help? But this is easy."

Zzzt-!

The arrow Yoon SeA was holding suddenly started to emit electricity.

"No way, you already did it?"

"Yeah. I just followed the feeling that comes from this emblem, and it was done quickly. Heh... It was worth the pain."

Yoon SeA smiled brightly and shot the arrow at the target.

Zap!

The target distorted under the power of the electricity.

"Oh. But I can't control the power... I need to practice more."

She couldn't control the power even though she only released that much electricity?

How long has it been since she obtained the Lightning Emblem to say such things?

Sung JiHan was amazed.

"SeA, you... are a genius?"

"I don't want to hear that from you, Uncle."

"I'm not ordinary. I can't be labeled as a genius."

"Wow. You said that with your own mouth."

Yoon SeA stroked her arm as if she was proud.

"Uncle, I'm fine, so take a rest. You did a lot today."

"A lot? I just lost an arm."

"That's why I'm telling you to rest! Just sleep!"

Sung JiHan, who came to wake up Yoon SeA's Lightning Emblem, was chased away by his niece.

"...SeA. You're more talented than I thought."

Sung JiHan smiled happily.

If only I had known about her exceptional talent in my previous life.

I regretted wasting such talent for no reason.

"But what should I do while resting?"

Now that I was told to rest, I had nothing to do.

Unconsciously, Sung JiHan walked towards the Second Training Room.

***

The next day.

"Uncle! I won! Hehe."

Yoon SeA, who had won the promotion match in Gangnam 3 Area, smiled brightly in front of Sung JiHan.

Seeing her genuinely happy face, Sung JiHan also smiled back.

Unlike in his previous life, he felt so proud that his niece was doing so well.

Yes, let's keep going like this.

"Oh, by the way. My Gift of Patience has changed a bit."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Look at this..."

But...

When Yoon SeA showed her upgraded Gift of Patience, Sung JiHan's eyes narrowed.

"Wait a minute."

The condition that his F-grade Gift of Patience changed to E-grade after playing 50 games confused him.
