Episode 183. Time to savor a cup of
debut tea.
If it’s short, it’s short, if it’s long, it’s a long time.
I’ve had too much work
‘…formalities are hard, really.’
I just overlooked it.
Grandfell’s teatime love…!
It was impossible to mix and drink bomb tea before Grandfel. I had no choice but to drink one cup at a time of tea brewed with ice caps and blazing sunflowers.
And the agony began.
[The effect of the elixir ‘Perfect Snow Flower’ is activated.]
[Affinity with the freezing attribute increases significantly.] [
The expression power of freezing magic greatly increases.]
[The abnormal status ‘chill’ occurs.]…
Resolution I did, but it was more than I imagined.
Cold winds of Siberia?
Fierce cold in Hokkaido?
It was a level of chilling that could not be compared to that.
If I had to compare it, wouldn’t I have to bring the ice caps of Senios.
enough to think.
rattle.
But I spoke boldly.
“It’s cool enough to make you feel good.”
Someone looks like they’re frozen, what bullshit!
I couldn’t freeze to death.
I immediately brewed a glowing sunflower leaf and took a sip.
And I regretted it again.
[The effect of the elixir ‘Scorching Sunflower’ is activated.]
[Flame attribute affinity greatly increases.] [
The flame magic expression power greatly increases.]
[The status abnormality ‘high fever’ occurs.]…
It was perfect in my head.
Is it different in practice?
It was a pain that really felt like my body would break.
Clinking—
if it was so, I would have lost my mind and dropped the teacup on the floor.
It was such an aftershock that even formality couldn’t overcome it.
I feel like I’ve done something really crazy.
But being strong doesn’t mean surviving.
To survive is to be strong.
In the end, I endured it and opened my eyes, so it was enough.
“It was noisy unlike me.”
At this moment, the cubic pavilion couldn’t be more happy.
Anyway, I feel it again.
The effect of [Blessing of the First World Tree]…!
[The blessing of the first world tree rejects ‘chill’.]
[The blessing of the first world tree rejects ‘fever’.]…
Chills and fever are their own.
If it had not been for the blessing of the World Tree.
There’s no need to go all the way to the scorching sunflowers. I might have been stuffed in a museum as the first person in the world to freeze
to
death while drinking tea…
It was the same even after drinking both elixirs.
Yes, it is true that the effect is neutralized.
The problem was that it became neutral in my body!
[The blessing of the first world tree refuses ‘internal injury’.]
…I must have seen a terrifying message in my hazy consciousness.
In any case, I didn’t take pleasure in Grandfel’s bravado for nothing.
[The effect of the title ‘Transcendence’ is activated.]…
A message floated underneath.
My heartbeat—
and, above all, a welcome heartbeat.
I’ve been thinking a lot about what to check first.
I was the first to raise my magic power.
The flowing mana wrapped around the broken teacup.
‘Anyway, I can’t wait to see things messed up.’
Damn—
reversal magic manifested.
The teacup that was smashed on the floor regains its original shape.
But wait a minute.
Something similar in appearance, but different from before…?
Should I say that it looks more expensive without knowing why?
Reversal magic is literally reversal.
just put it back to its original state.
I didn’t even add anything in the interference process.
A change as if [Aesthetic] had been activated?
There was only one thing I could guess.
‘…It’s the effect of the circle.’
Elder mage Yugwid says.
It was said that before and after forming a circle, the difference in magic expression power was several to ten times. I thought it was simply about power, but it seems that it is not.
‘The versatility is no joke.’
I am amazed all over again.
‘Is it not the state of a transcendental person for nothing?’
…Okay, let’s check the exact effect.
I soon opened the title in the status window.
Confirmed the effect of the unlocked [Transcendentalist].
[Transcendentalist: Your transcendental status is enough to be called a transcendentalist…]
I was familiar with it from the first sentence.
Where did you see it?
[Sublime] The title and tone are the same, right?
[Sublime: Arcana Continent remembers you, the Sublime.]
Do you really have to feel the effect while facing each other like Sublime? I was worried It wasn’t. The effect of the transcendental title was not that short.
[Transcendent: Your transcendent state is enough to be called a transcendent. – Current Achievement: Circle (1000% increase in all magic expression) / None / None / None…] It
was rather a problem because it wasn’t short.
‘Achievement reached now? It wasn’t just the circle?’
Well, it goes without saying that there are many things in the realm.
Even the classes of Arcana are innumerable.
Starting with me, it’s the Sword River and the Circle.
Wasn’t it different from each level of swordsmanship and magic?
However, checking with the system with the eyes was another matter.
Because that meant a lot to me about Grandfel.
“Surely my way was right.”
My way.
as many flesh holes as possible.
Digging as many wells as possible.
‘You mean it wasn’t in vain.’
If it’s Grandfel’s personality, at least to fill in that blank.
I will never be lazy
Now I can’t use efficiency as an excuse for tricks.
Thanks to that, it was me who was dying…!
‘Lee Ho-yeol’s life is really rough and harsh.’
But I have no intention of whining again.
As you can see, the effect of achievement was ignored.
I spoke.
“Certainly, it would be too much to call it an achievement yet.”
crossroads of life.
No, thanks to just dying once.
Although he skipped the intermediate process and achieved the achievement of ‘Keomgang’.
It would be unreasonable to call it the level of a transcendentalist yet.
Why did even Harkon emit a sharper sword than mine?
‘It should be at least Shagwin.’
How many elixirs do I have to take in the future… no, how many different efforts do I have to make to reach this level? I couldn’t even guess as of now.
I said calmly.
“However, a sword without pride is extremely light.”
Yes, it’s really comforting.
Confidence is great, Grandfel.
Anyway, I checked the last message that came to my mind.
Because the transcendental effect was confirmed.
I thought there would be no more surprises.
…You’re overlooking it a lot these days, Hoyeol-ah.
[You have acquired the Transcendentalist’s unique skill, ‘Society in Space and Time.’]
To the title.
to great effect.
on setting specific goals.
Now to unique skills.
Is it because you spread it too generously?
It was now getting a bit suspicious.
I checked the unique skill with full of doubts.
And he opened his mouth.
“I don’t believe in coincidence.”
Really shamelessly.
“I am saying that I will move on instead of waiting for a coincidence.”

AAU Korean branch.
Tadadak!
Yoon Soo-gyeom pounded on the keyboard without a break.
Seong Hyeon-Jun, who was watching, secretly said.
I put the coffee on the senior’s desk.
When there was still no response, Seong Hyeon-jun grabbed the passer-by and whispered.
“Do you know why Yoon-sunbae is doing that?”
“Ah Hyun-joon, did you pay for your annual leave?”
“Yes, I came back today… The atmosphere is different from usual.”
Lee Ho-yeol’s leave of absence.
It was an excuse that was irreplaceable to office workers.
Seong Hyeon-jun also followed Ho-yeol and exhausted his overdue annual leave.
During my days off, I tried everything.
– “…Writing isn’t like this?”
I followed Ho-yeol, who took care of the flower garden, and watered the flower pots, and even slapped my mother on the back for asking my mother who would water a cactus like that.
I returned to AAU with a lot of things to talk about.
Yoon Su-gyeom had been in that state since morning.
He seemed so focused that he was sorry to speak.
“Why did it seem like we haven’t been in touch in a while.”
“Can you reach me? with whom?”
“With my teammates from my Cosmo days.”
“iced coffee…!”
It was AAU where exchanges between branches decreased as interests between countries became entangled.
However, with the launch of the Yusra branch, exchanges between the branches became as active as they were at the beginning of the cataclysm.
“Me too, and Sugyeom too. Everyone has to be busy. How much should everyone be in debt? To the general manager of our Yusra branch.”
General manager of the Yusra branch.
It was Ho-yeol’s position at AAU.
“I was wondering if something would come out if I gathered the scattered information as the AAU was cut off. Even if it’s not, our team also got some useful information. Why is it about dragons…”
“Dragons?!”
“no. I’ll tell you later when it’s clear.”
“Ah….”
“Anyway, Hyun-joon is working hard too.”
The man who said that passed Sung Hyeon-jun.
“Oh yes! Have a hard time, senior!”
Seong Hyun-joon sat quietly.
I waited for Yoon Soo-gyeom to take his hands off the keyboard.
and an hour later.
Tadak!
When the opportunity finally came, he quickly opened his mouth.
“Coffee next to you!”
“coffee? Oh thank you.”
“What kind of meeting did you have, anyway?”
lantern lantern.
Yoon Soo-gyeom smiled at Seong Hyun-jun’s eyes.
“It’s not as great as you’d expect.”
“…is this a secret?”
“No, it’s not a secret, it’s really not a big deal.”
Yoon Soo-gyeom pointed at the monitor with his finger.
Blink—
the text being written caught my eye.
A sigh escaped Sung Hyun-joon’s mouth.
“Wow, why didn’t I think of this?!”
High-level player content.
That was the fate of all game developers.
It reminded me of my days at Cosmo.
“It’s the same now, but every Thursday was war, right?”
“Yeah, there was a fuss about the weekly update saying there was nothing special.”
“You really had to grind the bones? In particular, our Korean gamers have a real spirit…. How do you wrap content that would take at least a month to capture in one day!”
The days when Arcana was just a game.
The speed at which players consumed content was beyond imagination.
Thanks to that, at the meeting, if there were any ideas for super-high-level content, I recorded them at random. It was for this reason that Yoon Soo-gyeom contacted the team members of each branch.
“Are you looking for an idea then?”
“Yes, I thought it might be worth digging into.”
“Your words are right. Same with the demon king and the dragon. It was all content that was still in the conception stage. It appeared in the rift as if it had existed in the first place.”
Likewise, it meant that super-high-level contents that had only stayed in ideas might have already existed on the Arcana continent for a long time.
“I need that much information right now…”
At that moment, Seong Hyun-joon’s pupils dilated.
“That’s right, I’ll pass it on to General Manager Lee Ho-yeol.”
“I don’t know about the other players… but it might be helpful for the general manager! No, maybe you already know everything?”
“Either way, I’m trying to scrape together as much as possible.”
After all, you weren’t in the mood to talk about getting hit on the back after watering a cactus.
Besides, Seong Hyun-jun himself had more questions than chatting.
“Senior, can I ask you one last question?”
“What. I was bored with no one to talk to, so I’ll listen.”
“Oh yea.”
Dreuk—
Seong Hyeon-jun brought a chair and continued.
“So, out of all the ideas you’ve gathered, what kind of information will be most helpful to the general manager? The deep sea city you were typing just now? Or the Hundred Thousand Caves of Zero Mountain?”
Let’s see.
Yoon Soo-gyeom stroked his chin.
“Everything is important, but such content won’t be helpful right away? Whatever it is, you have to come up with a crack related to it, so you will write the relevant information or not.”
If only it existed in that sense.
And if only Ho-yeol met the conditions.
As for the content that can be utilized right away…
“…is it going to [the deceased person community]?”
*
More luxurious than the golden palace of Yusra.
A space with a more unrealistic structure than the magic tower.
At least, such a place does not exist on the Arcana continent.
Yes, this is the 『social venue of time and space』.
In the language of the other world, [the deceased person community].
that only transcendents can enter.
Because it was a space of ‘consciousness’.
A social venue that was only allowed to a very few.
“?”
It’s been a long time since I felt a strange presence there.
Everyone’s attention went to the place where the presence was felt.
Sword Saint Shagwin’s gaze was the same.
Soon, the sign gradually drew closer.
With a clear and pure sound.
Another angle-
