Episode 4. Darkness (3)
The joy I felt when my ability level increased was doubled. A warm heat that made me feel good was radiating from my entire body.
-What the hell are you!
“Baek Woo-jin.”
-Not your name, you bastard!
The darkness circled above Baek Woo-jin’s head as if it was frustrated.
-Did you know this would happen?
“What kind of fortune teller am I? “Know this.”
-So you went all the way to rebel against me?
“I wanted to see you so embarrassed. I feel refreshed inside. “It feels like 10 years of congestion is going away.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled coolly while lying down. Rather than raising my abilities, I did it to show the nagging black man, ‘I’m this kind of guy.’ But I got an unexpected benefit.
-I’ve seen a lot of crazy people over the course of many years, but this is the first time I’ve seen a crazy person like you.
“Thank you for the compliment.”
-Keu…
When Baek Woo-jin was teasing the darkness, a hologram window of a type he had never seen before appeared before his eyes.
[You have completed the quest < Stamina is the Power of the Nation >.]
[Would you like to receive your reward now?]
A window will appear stating that the quest has been completed as your stamina and physical abilities exceed 15.
“Can I get this now?”
-do whatever you want.
“I receive it.”
[Calculate the reward for the quest < Stamina is National Power >.]
[300 reward points and the title ‘Quest First Step’ have been paid.]
[All abilities increase by 1 due to the effect of the title ‘Quest First Step’.]
[ The effects of the acquired title are applied multiple times.]
[An additional 200 points are given as an effect of seeing the astonishment of darkness.]
[Intimacy with darkness has increased.]
When I read the message posted in front of me, I automatically burst out laughing. . Darkness was so shocked that he could not speak.
-You’re giving me more points by surprising me? Was there anything like this? what’s this!
Darkness couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the newly appeared message. I was so shocked that I gave him more points. I’ve never seen anything like this before.
-Hmm…
Baek Woo-jin was lucky to receive additional compensation. This doesn’t always work. Darkness decided to warn Baek Woo-jin.
– Baek Woo-jin.
“huh?”
-I was really lucky this time. For someone like you who has a long way to go, too much is not good. When you get injured, time is wasted.
Baek Woo-jin felt the concern in the voice of darkness. He was truly worried about his physical condition.
“I’ll be careful.”
-I hope you understand. Now check your abilities. It must have changed a lot.
I brought up the status window with anticipation.
[Status window]

-I can’t believe it. So quickly…
the voice of darkness came out trembling. Baek Woo-jin’s abilities themselves are still miserable, but the speed of his development has far exceeded expectations.
“Is it that fast?”
-It’s too fast for you.
“It’s very good.”
For darkness to say something like that is like the highest compliment. It was worth putting aside the sword for a month and just training and training my body.
“The strength returns to your hands quickly.”
-The recovery speed will be maintained until your physical strength returns to normal.
“Until then? “It’s petty.”
-Did you really think that your stamina recovery speed would be permanently increased by 5 times?
“I thought so?”
-You are a man without conscience. I am very greedy…
“You have to be greedy. “You can’t spend your new life in vain.”
-It’s true, and I like it, but I’m a little worried when you say it. There has to be something in moderation.
Baek Woo-jin nodded at the words of darkness. As he said, if you eat too hastily, you may end up not being able to eat anything.
“young master.”
“huh?”
When I looked back, I saw Jo Woo-hyun, the training ground manager, behind me. I’ve been training at this training center for a month, but this was the first time the manager spoke to me.
“Thank you for your effort.”
Jo Woo-hyun handed me a thick towel and cold water. Baek Woo-jin accepted the towel and water he gave with a blank expression.
“It’s really cool to see you practicing to your best.”
Jo Woo-hyun was impressed by Baek Woo-jin in many ways over the past month.
I was surprised to see that he was aware of his own shortcomings and focused only on physical training and physical training, which were the least interesting parts of training, and I was amazed at his physical strength that was improving day by day.
“Cheer up.”
Jo Woo-hyun smiled awkwardly and returned to his seat.
“….”
Baek Woo-jin looked blankly at the towel and water with a mesmerized expression.
-What are you doing? I gave it to you at best, but wipe your sweat and drink water.
“It’s my first time.”
-uh?
“Except for my third brother, this is the first time I’ve received something like this from someone else.”
-…
Darkness heard Baek Woo-jin’s miserable past life, so it didn’t say anything and waited by his side.
“I’ve heard many times where I’ve been scolded, told to get out of the way, or told to get water, but this is my first time receiving it, so I have a lot of thoughts.”
-Then it’s all thanks to me.
“that’s right. Darkness. “It’s thanks to you.”
– I would like to say that, but no. It was possible because of your efforts. Did I mention how many masters I had?
“okay.”
-Among them, there were many who had higher development potential than you. But they didn’t achieve anything because they didn’t try. I can give a lot to the owner, but if the owner doesn’t move, I get nothing.
Changing a person’s perspective is more difficult than improving one’s abilities. Although he didn’t say it for fear of becoming arrogant, Darkness had a very high opinion of Baek Woo-jin.
-You are doing pretty well.
“okay?”
-Just refrain from doing crazy things sometimes.
“I can’t promise that.”
-Ugh…
Baek Woo-jin wiped his sweat with a towel and drank water.
“Now we have to make a point.”
-As I said before, when your ability score is at the lowest level, you can increase your ability score by 1 with 50 points.
“What should I post now?”
-It’s better to see the end of what you start. Raise your stamina and body to 21 to make them both low level. Then you will be able to feel a clear difference. Save your remaining points.
“Well, it would be good to concentrate. okay.”
The status window was brought up again. Using 350 points, I raised my physical ability by 4 and my physical ability by 3.
Cooung.
The sound of drums came from inside my body. The blood began to pulsate and rapidly change his body. The muscles of the entire body were destroyed, but then grew stronger and larger.
I felt pain for a moment, but then came much greater joy. I felt like I had changed into a better body.
“Ah…”
I could feel that my body and stamina had become much stronger. I wanted to move my body right away.
[Status window]
< Basic information >
Name: Baek Woo-jin.
Age: 15 years old.
Title: Master of the Demon Sword and 2 others.
Grade: Other than grade.
Technology: None.
< Abilities >
Physical: 21/100 (low level)
Swordsmanship: 12/100 (lowest level)
Mana: 11/100 (lowest level)
Intelligence: 12/100 (lowest level)
Physical strength: 21/100 (low level)
Mental power: 57/100 (intermediate level) )
Points: 150 points.
-In just one month, my two abilities became low level. I was with you, but it’s hard to believe.
“You’re such an amazing guy too. “He worried about me, then made fun of me, then admired me.”
-That’s because you’re so quirky.
“Of course.”
Baek Woo-jin stood up, grinning and shaking off his pants.
-Are you going to practice again? Rest a little more.
“Today’s training ends here.”
-You’re stopping training? Where does it hurt?
“My father is coming back today.”
**
Chuck!
All the prosecutors inside Shingeombaekga lined up in front of the entrance. It is to welcome Baek Cheon-hwa, the head of the Baek family, who returns after destroying the monster island that rose up in the West Sea.
Baek Woo-jin also stood at the very end where the direct descendants of the Baek family were standing. Except for Baek Seong-hyeon, the third brother, who went out with his father, the entire Baek family’s immediate family gathered.
-Your family is no joke. There are many strong people.
‘Can you even know that?’
-Isn’t this body a magic sword? He’s quick about inspections.
‘Then…’
While I was having an inner conversation with darkness, someone stabbed me in the side.
“Why aren’t you coming to the training center these days? Have you given up?”
Baek Myeong-hun is the seventh brother, a man with slanted eyes that give him a sharp look.
“Well, if you have talent like that, you should give it up. “If I were you, I would have jumped right away.”
Baek Myung-hoon giggled to himself and mocked Baek Woo-jin. Because he had been like that since he was 12 years old, Baek Woo-jin did not answer and just looked ahead.
“It’s too late to give up. okay. From now on, come out to the training center and get some water. “I will create a way for you to make a living.”
“….”
“You’re not answering?”
Baek Myung-hoon frowned and glared, but Baek Woo-jin’s expression was calm. It was really nothing like a dog barking.
-What is this eel-looking idiot?
‘He’s my older brother.’
-How old are you?
‘Two years old. ‘Right above me.’
-She’s pretty good for a young age. However, at this level, you will be able to catch up quickly.
‘This bastard?’
-okay. If you follow the training well.
‘I guess I’ll have to go out and run at night.’
In my past life, the number of times I was beaten by Baek Myung-hoon was countless, and the number of times I was cursed was countless. If you can beat this guy, you can practice without sleeping.
“Baek Woo-jin. You bastard….”
“Myung-hoon. Shut your mouth. “He will come soon.”
I heard a low, sinking voice next to me. The second older sister is Baek Eun-kyung. At her words, Baek Myung-hun immediately closed his mouth like a mute who had just been fed honey.
“See you later. “Get ready to rummage.”
Baek Myung-hoon whispered threateningly into his ear, but Baek Woo-jin just laughed at him and snorted. By that time, Baek Myung-hun will be crawling under his feet.
Cheow!
The well-oiled front door opened, revealing Baek Cheon-hwa and the Red Swordsman.
“Meet the matriarch!”
The moment Baek Cheon-hwa crossed the main gate, all the prosecutors knelt down to greet him.
“hmm.”
Baek Chun-hwa slightly nodded and received a greeting. He walked in the direction of Gajujeon without looking at anyone, as if he had no interest.
All the prosecutors continued to kneel until Baek Tian-hwa disappeared.
-Is that your father?
‘okay. how was it?’
-Is there such a powerful person in this world? It’s definitely a strength that goes beyond the lines. I understand what you said.
Darkness felt Baek Cheon-hwa’s powerlessness and was amazed.
Although Baek Woo-jin said that his father was a world-renowned prosecutor, it was true that he was a little ignoring him. However, he had a power that was not inferior to that of strongmen of other dimensions.
‘Can I become strong enough to defeat my father?’
-It depends on what you do.
**
Baek Cheon-hwa passed by the family prosecutors and glanced at Baek Woo-jin, who was at the end.
‘what?’
The Baek Woo-jin in front of him now was a completely different person from the Baek Woo-jin he saw before he left the family.
Although he still could not unlock his mana, his body was quite developed. His body looked like it had been trained for half a year to a year, not just a month.
‘The level of training is just right.’
Although it is problematic for a swordsman to grow too tall, Baek Woo-jin’s body was developed to a state suitable for swinging a sword.
Although I heard that Baek Woo-jin only did physical strength and training, I never thought he could build his body that quickly.
I felt like I saw new possibilities in my youngest son, whom I had never expected.
‘I’ll have to call that guy.’
