“Wow.”

Jung Si-woo let out an innocent exclamation. He knew that he had changed a lot while checking his body, but seeing it organized made him realize everything.

“I’m like another person.”

What stood out the most was his class. The name of the underground player disappeared, and instead, the title of Breaker was placed in its spot. In addition, all his status rose during the process of transforming his body. What’s even more surprising was the fact that his passive skills had grown. He thought it was naturally affected by the changes in his body.

The lizard’s tail rising behind his butt…the Chaos tail also went up in level, changing its appearance. The longer and thicker tail looked pretty cool. Jung Si-woo smiled in satisfaction as he swung his tail a few times. In addition to passive skills, the growth of his active skills was great, and the most notable of them was his new active skill.

[Super strength Lv1]

[It consumes mana and strengthens the selected body part. It can draw out explosive power, but you can suffer from aftereffects.]

“Well, that’s simple…”

Jung Si-woo was already able to strengthen his physical body with the Grant skill. However, it was a high-level skill that transformed mana to strengthen his body. Since it transformed you using mana, it was similar to the cruel charge, but there was an overwhelming difference in its level. He thought that if he studied cruel charge, he would somehow be able to create it himself, but there was no such thing with this super-strength skill.

“Oppa, I see traces of a tattoo on your arm.”

“That’s a little weird. Active skills shouldn’t be seen on the outside.”

“I know.”

The super-strength was an active skill that was triggered by Jung Si-woo’s will, but it was half-way a passive skill. Because it was engraved as a Mana circuit with a unique characteristic in his entire body, and also because the skill gradually strengthened the body as it was used, it was a great skill one way or another. Of course…

“I think the aftereffects are going to be harsh.”

Jung Si-woo was good at handling mana from the beginning, but he had a better eye for it after he transferred jobs. He was now able to estimate the strength of the skill and estimate the price he would have to pay just by looking at the Mana circuit engraved on his body, but no matter how hard he thought about it, he could only picture his future, where he became inoperable due to all the aftereffects.

“I don’t think it’s going to work out in real life, but…”

“Pain and fear is something that every player has to embrace.”

The two biggest differences between games and reality were those two things. No matter how big a wound the character gets in the game, no matter how strong and fearful the enemy is, the user can calmly control the character. In reality, however, there weren’t many people who could ignore the heat of the flame, the coldness of the ice, the penetration, and the pain of a wound. In particular, modern people were too vulnerable to pain.

It was the same with fear. If a monster was placed in front, the player instinctively became intimidated. But Jung Si-woo’s skill Dragon’s Dignity also had the ability to instill fear into the enemy and interfere with its behavior. There during a battle that couldn’t be expressed in simple figures.

‘It’s not like there’s no way out.’

Jung Si-woo recalled the passive skill that he raised when he was enduring pain while transferring. He couldn’t figure out why the skill helped him endure the pain.

“Anyway, let’s practice this a little bit.”

“But I want you to rest now.”

Jung Si-woo hadn’t been able to take a proper rest since Mt. Seolark. As a result, he became ridiculously strong and was able to get rid of his former job, but Soo Ah-rin was worried that he might have been mentally exhausted by the process.

“You don’t have to be in such a hurry. You’re already running at a fast speed. So take a rest now, okay?”

“…Well, yeah. Okay. I’ll take a day off.”

Jung Si-woo was overpowered by Soo Ah-rin, who offered him rest with a stern face while nodding her head gently. She was cute when she was the mini size, but her strength, which returned to its original form, was no joke. He couldn’t resist the girl who looked genuinely worried. And to exaggerate a little, It was even more so if the girl was as pretty as an angel.

“I wish I could take a week off, not just a day. But I know you won’t do that. There’s a strange and sincere side you.”

“There’s a road ahead of me, and I can’t tolerate myself not running.”

He thought anyone would act like him if they’ve been waiting for this chance for ten years, but he didn’t have to say that. He didn’t want to show his weakness. Instead, he mumbled as if he was talking to himself, lying down on the bed as Soo Ah-rin told him to.

“But…yes. Sometimes you need to bend your knees to gain momentum.”

“I don’t think that metaphor is appropriate, but I’ll assume that you’re resting.”

Jung Si-woo realized one thing when he saw Soo Ah-rin, who was still looking at him, instead of trying to close her eyes.

“I think you guys need a bed.”

“What? Uh…well, yeah.”

The bed was big enough for two of them to lie down, but three of them would be a stretch. Soo Ah-rin barely covered her mouth and nodded while asking Jung Si-woo if she could lay next to him. It was a bold remark coming out of her mouth.

“Well, you can shrink back when you sleep.”

“Well, is that so…”

“I can lay next to Hyeong-nim as much as I want…hehe.”

Yong Se-ha, who was trying to make a friendly suggestion, became quiet after Soo Ah-rin’s fierce look. However, Jung Si-woo was already asleep and didn’t notice the disturbance. He fell asleep in three seconds. He thought maybe he mastered his resting skills.

“Oh, you must’ve been very tired. I hope you get some rest.”

Soo Ah-rin quickly released her expression when she saw Jung Si-woo fall asleep. Yong-ha thought her change of attitude was really scary, but he didn’t say anything because he was scared. Meanwhile, Soo Ah-rin swept-back Jung Si-woo’s hair and pulled the blanket over him. She had a very pleasing smile around her mouth.

“Whoa.”

“Well, I’m glad.

“…Yes, we’ve made it this far.”

Although they were able to stay in their original bodies, it was limited to this resting place, but none of the things surrounding them had been solved yet. But Soo Ah-rin was satisfied with the present. This wasn’t too bad for her. No…in a way, it was better than before.

“That’s a relief.”

“…I’ll take a rest. Good night.”

“Oh, wait a minute!”

At that time, Yong Se-ha shrunk himself and went into the doll’s house. I’m sure he thought that Soo Ah-rin cared about him, but it was only going to get awkward if it was only the two of them. Soo Ah-rin was at a loss and soon gave up.

‘Well, I’ll just stay like this.’

It was a waste to sleep in a doll’s house like Yong Se-ha, but she couldn’t be active. The result was maintaining the status quo. Soo Ah-rin decided to keep an eye on Jung Si-woo’s sleeping face.

“Has he gotten more handsome?’

When a player is selected as a candidate, his or her body structure changes little by little as he or she rises in level, and every time he or she changes their job. It was evolving to suit the characteristics of one’s own development. Of course, the face also changed a little bit. Jung Si-woo was no exception. Of course, it wasn’t as obvious as the change in his body, but he had become more attractive than before.

Mana was the energy that strengthened and evolved everything. It was hard to interpret the essence, but in general, high-level players could look more attractive than before. The change occurred little by little, so those who hadn’t seen Jung Si-woo for a long time would probably be surprised.

“He was still good-looking before.”

She couldn’t say he was handsome, but she felt good just by looking at his sharp face. Although there were still many impressions, Soo Ah-rin was a little disappointed that he seemed to have lost his former features. But in other words, she also felt good that he had changed this way with her.

‘Uh, let’s stop thinking.’

When Yong Se-ha said he was going to sleep, was she supposed to step down? Her head was dizzy with pink delusions that didn’t suit the current situation. It was silly. She stepped back, pounding on her head. At that time, Jung Si-woo’s phone started to vibrate. Come to think of it, when was the last time he charged it? She thought as she picked up the phone carefully. It was a call.

It was rude to answer other people’s calls on behalf of them, but she didn’t want to hang up or leave it as it is then wake up Jung Si-woo, who had already fallen asleep. Soo Ah-rin stepped back from the bed and carefully answered the phone.

“This is Jung Si-woo’s phone. Mr. Jung Si-woo is…”

[…Si-woo’s new girlfriend?]

However, Soo Ah-rin’s feather wings spread wide when she heard the young woman’s voice from over the phone. At the same time, her eyes were lit. Soo Ah-rin answered instinctively.

“What’s the matter?”

[Oh…yeah, I see.]

“Excuse me, what’s this regarding? Oppa is sleeping right now.”

A lie came out very deftly. Soo Ah-rin was surprised at herself but didn’t correct her words. The woman over the phone mumbled and spoke to her, but Soo Ah-rin maintained a cool and ferocious attitude. It was like she was a different person.

[I just wanted to let Si-woo know about something. I mean…Si-woo always wanted to be a player.]

She had no bad feelings against the caller, but why was her anger rising when the woman seemed to know Jung Si-woo well? Soo Ah-rin replied, trying to control her emotions.

“Thank you for that. But what does that have to do with what you’re trying to say? If it’s important, I’ll tell Oppa about it.”

[Whoa…I heard there’s a way to become a player, so I wanted to tell him about that. He’s going to love it.]

“…What?”

Soo Ah-rin forgot all about her anger and upset feelings that she had been hiding and replied. But the answer was the same.

“I know how to create a player artificially.”
