Chapter Index

    Ichinose Jun saw it in Rohan.

    A precarious belief deep within.

    In some ways, the principles of justice and action that one is not aware of are things that can be called madness.

    To be blunt, Rohan lacks the strength to carry out that stubbornness and madness.

    ‘I would have lived my life doing dangerous things without hesitation or reservation, as if it were a habit.’

    Jun Ichinose can tell just by looking at the things that the lead actor, who was teaching him closely, couldn’t find.

    It’s not a matter of skill that Juyeon couldn’t find or that he found it himself. Juyeon is an excellent educator.

    There was no great reason why only Ichinose Jun could find and see it so easily.

    ‘Am I going down the same path as I used to, just like Momo said?’

    This feeling is subtle, but it could be called a sense of kinship.

    Isn’t this part visible because Jun Ichinose himself is of the same class as him and has walked the same path in the past?

    ‘If there’s a difference… I’ve escaped the shadows thanks to Momo and Yui, but you’re still trapped.’

    In fact, Ichinose Jun was not someone who could give advice based on his experience and knowledge.

    Still, the mouth opened.

    Simply, if something happens to the cadet named Rohan here, my daughter will be sad.

    That was the biggest reason why he broke his own rule that silence is golden.

    ‘and.’

    Ichinose Jun knows that kind of character.

    Maybe it’s because of the unique atmosphere and overlapping factors, but the man that comes to mind seems to have a similar appearance.

    ‘This man named Rohan···.’

    Even if I back down and panic at a crying child on the street, I get swayed here and there.

    A stubborn person who is not discouraged even when standing on the line and who does not bow his head to evildoers no matter what they do to him.

    Isn’t it okay?

    The number of good people increasing in a chaotic world.

    There is no complaint.

    If Ichinose Jun himself were alone in the world, it might be different, but the world a family lives in must be like that.

    *****

    “If you have something to organize your thoughts, do it neatly and come back.”

    With Ichinose Jun gone, Rohan was left alone.

    ‘···.’

    Ichinose Jun simply suggested a path to Rohan based on his own experience and knowledge.

    He confidently pointed out that path to Rohan, who was feeling dizzy from the countless forks in the road.

    Establishment of directionality.

    Whatever the intention, it had a huge impact on Rohan.

    Every single word that Ichinose Jun uttered was like fate.

    [The second transcendence shines.]

    ───Bang!! The reality unfolding before my eyes shattered like glass, revealing a new world.

    It’s different from the last Transcendence, yet similar.

    ‘What will they show me this time?’

    It was a space darker than night.

    Looking up, there is no moon and not a single speck of light.

    ─ Fire illuminates the ugly things that hide beneath the darkness.

    A small fire bloomed on Rohan’s palm.

    The light spread and appeared in Rohan’s sight.

    The hideous monsters that surround him.

    “···.”

    It wasn’t that surprising. I’m sick of these night raids.

    It’s just a shame that my body can’t move as I want.

    Just gently extend your hand with a spark in it.

    ─ Krrr···.

    As the flames get closer, the monsters back away.

    Just by looking at it, Rohan can tell.

    That these hideous things are afraid of fire.

    Monsters are marching far into the darkness.

    Rohan clenched his palms. The flame that had bloomed like a flower was taking root inside.

    The spark settles in the soul and heart.

    Rising fullness.

    The emotion that comes from an enriched soul.

    ‘What we have to do here is finished.’

    You realize it naturally.

    The fire spread from where Rohan was standing.

    The monsters hiding in the darkness burst into flames, screaming.

    ─ ···.

    ─ ···.

    As the hideous monsters die, silence falls.

    The world that was shattered into pieces is restored through rewind.

    Saruruk──.

    Everything that had been torn apart returned, reflecting Rohan’s appearance like a mirror.

    Back to reality.

    [You can specify multiple targets for weakness granting]

    [Special items appear randomly in the shop skill]

    [Cheonilseongjaegeom (天日聖裁劍) applies critical damage to targets with weakness]

    ‘Okay, that’s over.’

    Rohan took a deep breath and drew cold water from the vending machine.

    Feel the growth as you read the notification window.

    The growth that came to Rohan was not simply transcendence.

    It seems like my consciousness, which had been haphazardly piling up things I thought I needed, has become a little more organized.

    Hot! He opens the bottle of water and gulps it down.

    The coolness of the cold water further highlights the clear mind.

    ‘Overall, the cost-effectiveness of Transcendence is second to none.’

    This is the Abyss City perspective. There was a thing called cost-effectiveness among users.

    It was funny to say that the transcendence itself, which requires you to re-select a character you’ve already selected, was cost-effective.

    In most cases, the effectiveness is evident only up to the second transcendence.

    The rest stand out as being a bit lackluster, with the highest efficiency coming in the last sixth.

    ‘What about me?’

    I don’t know. Anything is fine. There’s no need to think deeply about it.

    If there are any shortcomings, I can accept them as they are.

    It would be good to develop overwhelming skills. You can always ask for help from your colleagues who are always by your side.

    ‘Oh, I need to know the main story and the criminal conditions for the achievements.’

    These are the only ones that require real time, so it’s hard to finish here.

    Rohan got up from his seat.

    ··

    ··

    A place in the parking lot where people could talk about their own topics.

    The moment Aeng-Aenose finished exchanging numbers with the two girls, Sion and Clara, at Momo’s recommendation.

    Ichinose Jun returned first.

    And after only a few minutes, the person the girls had been desperately waiting for arrived.

    “···Oh my?”

    “!”

    Jooyeon and Momo were surprised to see Rohan approaching.

    The other girls may not notice it right away, but the main character and Ichinose couple, who have surpassed a certain level of skill, can feel the change.

    “Wow, not bad.”

    Ichinose Jundo was also quite surprised. He moved his heavy mouth and let out an exclamation without even realizing it.

    Rohan’s face and eyes have improved considerably.

    ‘Even if you have to turn your back, enlightenment is your own share and talent.’

    As you can see, it wasn’t just mental growth.

    With the realization, I have grown overall, perhaps establishing a new framework for distributing my magical power.

    If you can do just one thing by listening to others, you are a genius among geniuses.

    Doing both together, by whatever means, is the higher rank.

    ‘I think you said you received proper education after entering the academy.’

    It is an unprecedented growth rate, even compared to his own daughter or Noah, the daughter of King Seolho.

    If I run that fast, how long will it take to get here?

    ‘Our generation will soon become the old generation.’

    My shoulders already feel lighter.

    It’s a nice sense of liberation.

    and.

    If you want your daughter to grow up to be independent, this is the place for her.

    No matter what the relationship is like, just having someone who is out of the norm by your side motivates you and pushes you to overcome your limits.

    Ichinose Jun controlled the corners of his lips that were about to rise.

    He placed his hand on his daughter’s head and stroked it.

    “···Father?”

    “Eat well. Get plenty of sleep. Have fun and be happy. That’s enough.”

    After finishing speaking, he looks at his daughter and smiles faintly.

    Yui opened her eyes and nodded with a bright smile. She hugged her father, who was not good at expressing himself, for the first time in a long while.

    “Momo. Go back now.”

    My daughter came back from the dungeon and I checked to see if she was safe.

    It couldn’t be better.

    As a father with a daughter, I found out things I didn’t want to know, but surprisingly, it wasn’t so bad.

    Now that I have that feeling, it’s time to go back to Samhwaguk and take care of the piling up work.

    Ignoring the fact that your phone is on fire has its limits.

    “Honey. Are you feeling better?”

    “···.”

    When Momo asked with a smile, Ichinose Jun remained silent.

    *****

    “Uuuu···!”

    Ichinose Yui, who had returned after seeing her parents off, was groaning in the dormitory.

    She hugs her dolls and rolls them around.

    I wanted to finish organizing my thoughts before Noah, who was sleeping soundly, woke up and made a surprise visit.

    But it’s not easy.

    ‘How did this happen···.’

    Looking back on today, there were many joys, but also many regrets.

    He said that he kissed her because he was blinded by jealousy.

    He went into a rage, saying that it was just emergency treatment while he was recovering.

    ‘It would have been a good opportunity to subtly appeal to the fact that you have selfish motives.’

    Since he showed behavior close to infidelity due to various shame and confusion, wouldn’t this rather be a negative factor?

    Rather than spit on him as my man, I feel like I bragged to my competitors and then backed off.

    “ha···.”

    By now, Rohan must be spending time with the two beautiful girls.

    Even though I wanted to send a message, it was not easy to contact them casually and thoughtlessly like before.

    ‘I like you too···! I want to be by your side too···.’

    The girl hugged the doll as if she was going to suffocate it.

    I rolled around on the bed, recalling meaningless regrets and happy moments over and over again.

    Tiring!

    The sound of the phone ringing.

    Ichinose’s rolling stopped.

    This is not the message you were waiting for.

    Because Rohan’s messages have different ringtones.

    Ichinose reached out and grabbed her phone, checking the messages.

    “···!”

    I suddenly raised my upper body, which had been lying down.

    [Zion Testarossa: If you have time tomorrow, I would like to meet Clara with you.]
