Chapter 57 - Sudden Windfall (1/2)

“This dog fraud…”

[

Archmage]

Proficiency: –

Special Effects:

1. 100% extra magic damage

2. Magic casting time is reduced by 15 seconds.

3. There is a set chance to poison the target when attacking with magic.

Soo Hyuk thought as he read the information on ‘Archmage’.

‘Casting time reduced by 15 seconds?’

Previously, it was reduced by 10 seconds, but now, an extra 5 seconds had been reduced. Of course, this wasn’t the problem.

‘Why isn’t the fire option there?’

The fire option had disappeared when Archmage was strengthened a second time.

‘Maybe…’

Originally, the option reduced the casting time of all fire magic.

‘It reduces casting time for all magic?’

However, the crazy thing was that it now reduced the casting time of all magic by 15 seconds. All magic.

‘Does a special buff occur when I unlock more magic?’

The added third option didn’t even enter his eyes. He was fixated on the fraudulent second option.

He was locked in thought as he read the information over and over again. He then closed the skill window while sighing and looked over at the remaining 8 doors.

‘What element should I unlock at level 200?’

He was able to unlock an element every 100 levels. What would he need the most then?

‘Let’s reach that stage first.’

He was currently level 100. It was going to take a long time to reach level 200, much longer than reaching level 100. Soo Hyuk decided to confront it when it comes and entered the tunnel to head to the warp circle.

‘I should ask for the materials now rather than later.’

He had originally planned to head to the library, as that was his usual schedule after hunting. But due to the sudden circumstances, he decided to tweak his schedule for today. Soo Hyuk finally stepped on the warp circle and teleported back to the Tower of Poison.

“Then lastly, 100 Grade 3 mana stones!”

“…”

Pavian couldn’t say anything. He just stared blankly at Soo Hyuk. Soo Hyuk awkwardly stared back.

“…Should I come tomorrow?”

“…Ah?”

Pavian awoke from Soo Hyuk’s question and nodded absentmindedly.

“Ah, uh, sure! We’ll prepare them by tomorrow.”

“Phew, then I’ll come again tomorrow!”

Soo Hyuk stood up from his seat and said goodbye to pavian. As he was standing up, Pavian suddenly asked,

“Can you really use poison magic?”

“Yep! See you tomorrow!”

They had become close enough that they could address each other casually long ago. Soo Hyuk said goodbye again and exited the room. Pavian was still staring blankly at the door when he suddenly came to himself and looked closely at the list of materials.

‘He needs this much materials?’

Pavian started shaking as he looked over the list of materials repeatedly. He then started laughing while yelling loudly,

“Haha! As expected of the immeasurable talent!”

Only a few hours had passed since he had passed on the books to Soo Hyuk, but it looked it he instantly grasped most of the content. He was overflowing with a ridiculous amount of talent.

‘But he won’t be able to use poison magic perfectly.’

No matter how high his talent was, he wouldn’t be able to use poison magic perfectly in such a short amount of time. After all, grasping was different from perfecting. But the important part was that he had been able to grasp poison magic in just a few hours.

Rustle

Pavian also stood up not long after. Then while holding the list of materials, he headed to Kale’s room.

Tap. Tap.

“Kale!”

Pavian shouted while knocking on Kale’s door.

Kiieek

After a few seconds, Kale opened the door and came out.

“What’s the mat-“

“Here!”

Pavian stuffed the list into Kale’s hands before he could finish speaking. Kale stared confusedly at Pavian before looking at the paper in his hands.

“…What’s this?”

“Can you prepare them by tomorrow?”

“…Tomorrow?”

“Hmm. Is it possible?”

In response to Pavian’s words, Kale read over the list of materials again. After a moment of silence, he raised his head and replied to Pavian.

“It’s possible if I start now. But where are you using them…”

“The Tower of Poison’s new hope needs them.”

“Ah…”

“Then I’ll leave it to you.”

“…Yes, sir.”

* * *

“Hello.”

Soo Hyuk gave the librarian his token while smiling widely. He then entered the library and thought while walking.

‘Hedlin of Raman Kingdom, is it?’

His family trip was only 3 days away. Unlike usual, his parents had decided to go to somewhere in Pangea instead of reality.

The destination was Raman Kingdom’s coastal city of Hedlin. It was a famous tourist city in Pangea as well as reality.

‘How much will be the warp cost?’

Matab was situated in the middle of the continent, while Raman Kingdom was located in the south, occupying the coast. There was considerable distance between Matab and Raman Kingdom.

‘I’ll have to warp at least 4 times. Fortunately, I can use Archmage’s subspace on the way back.’

Although he had to warp at least 4 times, that was just for reaching Hedlin. As long as he didn’t visit the subspace on Hedlin, he be able to teleport to the subspace then to Matab. As he was deep in thought.

His steps suddenly halted.

‘…What?’

Soo Hyuk’s expression was full of confusion and surprise as he stared at a spot.

‘Purple?’

The cause of his confusion and shock was a book on a bookshelf. It was glowing purple.

‘Special classes shouldn’t be able to other classes?’

This was the reason for his confusion in seeing a purple book. Changing classes should be normally impossible for a special class.

‘Don’t tell me it’s not a class change?’

Because of his previous experience, he thought that purple books signified class changed. But thinking about it now, this didn’t seem to be the case. To see exactly what was going on, Soo Hyuk approached the purple book.

‘But, there wasn’t really anything I did.’
