Episode 21
What novel at a moment like this?
Moreover, the title gave off a hint of cheapness.
To sweep away the talent of an SSS-level returner.
Even without reading it, I could feel that it was a typical retail store.
“ha!”
The swordsmanship category in the next section flashed before my eyes.
Haedong swordsmanship, Ohjae swordsmanship, Muyeong swordsmanship… … .
My disappointment was even greater when I thought that the intermediate swordsmanship I needed might be found here.
With tears in my eyes, I took out the novel from the shelf as instructed in the strategy book.
I don’t know what they had in mind for recommending the novel to me, but I have no choice but to criticize them.
[I chose to sweep away the SSS-class returner’s talent.]
[Reversal is impossible, and the contents of the book may never be revealed.]
There are about 24 hours remaining until the 5th floor mission.
The book is a bit thick, but I think you can read it about three times if you hurry.
I leaned against a corner of the wall and began to read.
I felt an unusual energy from the prologue.
The characters’ cheesy dialogue and ridiculous settings.
The content of the novel became more interesting as it progressed.
All the luck in the universe was focused on the main character, and the probabilities became more and more crappy.
I didn’t feel any sense of crisis, and the story development that only focused on cider was very obvious.
“It’s a garbage store!”
I felt a sense of shame at the thought that I had read all of this, including the epilogue.
I don’t know if it will be possible to read it three times as originally planned.
The resistance is too low.
“Hoyoung, what are you looking at?”
Se-yong Kim approached me.
In his hand was a military book called
“Why man!”
“For some reason, I think you chose something good.”
“Do you want to change?”
I held up the cover of the book to Se-yong Kim.
The guy’s brow furrowed subtly.
“Is it really a novel?”
“Then with a title like this, is it a novel or something?”
“and! Seed! Look at the title. Sweeping SSS-level skills? “Kkkkkkk.”
I felt like I had lost something.
I couldn’t understand why the strategy book recommended this to me.
I read each word carefully, wondering if there might be a secret hidden within the book, but there didn’t seem to be any.
The protagonist did not use a sword, and his main weapon was a magic item, so he did not need any special skills.
In conclusion, I did not gain a single thing from reading the book.
“Seyong, is that worth reading?”
I was curious.
Are those who chose military service satisfied?
The problem is that Kim Se-yong seems to have lived a life of isolation from reading.
“this? “I think it’s so awesome!”
“Can you understand the contents of the book?”
“Are you saying you’re ignoring me?”
answer.
I can’t imagine this guy reading a book.
“I mean, is there anything to be gained from reading books?”
“Of course there is! Do you feel like you can raise your skill level if you practice like this?”
After hearing that, I felt like I had lost twice in a row.
If Kim Se-yong is like this, other people may have more to learn.
First, I need to read the book again from the beginning.
Because there might be something hidden.
* * *
“No matter how you look at it, it’s a trash novel.”
I couldn’t help but curse.
Because of the recommendation in the strategy book, I read this trash store twice.
Of course, there was no hidden secret technique.
I even had doubts that the Sage’s status window might have caused an error.
But even if that happens, you can’t overturn what you’ve already chosen.
Suddenly, I became curious about other people’s situations.
People were sitting in their seats and engrossed in reading.
“What are you reading?”
Son Seo-yeon, who was leaning against the bookshelf, didn’t even know I was nearby.
No.

Considering Son Seo-yeon’s sensory stats, that couldn’t be possible.
He’s clearly avoiding me.
“Hey, Son Seoyeon.”
Only then did she turn her head and look at me.
“Do not disturb. “I’m reading.”
Looking at the cover, the title of the book is
She must have been a really crazy bitch.
“Have you ever thought that the arrangement of the bookshelves is like a maze?”
“What are you saying?”
“Don’t get lost in the library.”
Son Seo-yeon bit her lip tightly at my words.
I felt a cold feeling of life.
Still, I have something I want to say.
“Are you trying to kill me like it says in that book?”
According to the strategy book, Salseong said that he would commit murder on
And I am the main target she has set for herself.
“… … “Why did you think that?”
she asked me back.
Well, it’s worth flinching because there’s a point where it stings.
“Because you have a taste for killing people.”
“what?”
She must have killed more than a dozen people to become a murderer.
Of course, only I know this.
“I know how to look at physiognomy. “There’s something sinister about you.”
First of all, I set the player like this.
To make her think more.
“Crazy guy!”
In an instant, a dark shadow appeared on her face.
I felt a little sorry, but if you think about it, there was no reason to feel sorry.
There is no change in the fact that Son Seo-yeon is a murderer, and I am the main target of her murder plan.
Then, suddenly, she turns her eyes to my book.
“SSS level regressor?”
Seoyeon Son expressed doubts when she saw the title of my book.
I flinched for a moment.
Even though I didn’t make up the title, the embarrassment became my responsibility.
“why? Do you want to see it?”
Of course, I just did it.
Because you must not reveal the contents of the book, even in a single line.
“I’m curious.”
“what? curious?”
It was an unexpected reaction.
It doesn’t look like this kind of thing,
“Then, next time, go back and choose this.”
So I walked past her.
After a while, Son Seo-yeon’s chanting is heard from afar.
– Go back… … .
Why is he so serious again?
* * *
I was a Korean of will.
In the end, I ended up reading this book three times, just as I had intended.
Did you choose this book to instill in me will and perseverance?
It was a book that didn’t suit me enough to make me think that way.
There are now 6 hours until the mission begins.
People were still spending their time.
Half of the people were reading books and half were practicing something.
Those who are training will also be practicing the contents of the book.
According to what I looked around, everyone chose books that were related to their jobs.
Except me.
Seo Jun-ho, a gladiator like me, was in the midst of sword training.
Looking at the unfolding swordsmanship, the beginner swordsmanship skill level had reached level 2.
I checked with the Sage’s status window and found that my prediction was correct.
“My swordsmanship has improved a lot. Mr. Seo Jun-ho.”
At my words, Seo Jun-ho stopped his sword and took a moment to catch his breath.
“is that so? “I think I’m still lacking a lot compared to Hoyoung.”
Actually, this was a bit of an awkward conversation.
The reason my swordsmanship is strong is not the result of training.
It’s just because he hit more gold than Seo Jun-ho.
“Reading books and practicing, are there any effects?”
Now the 5th floor mission was imminent and it had to be effective by now.
That might be why the library was suddenly created.
“well. Still good… … .”
still?
Seo Jun-ho is the one in our group who adapts best to the game system.
If he is so unsure, other people probably won’t be much different either.
Seo Jun-ho hesitated for a moment and then continued speaking.
“But I guess it feels like I’m realizing the principles of swordsmanship.”
It was similar to what Se-yong Kim said.
Enlightenment and reason.
It is not yet known how this realization will unfold in the future.
I only have a vague thought that I will find out if I go to the 5th floor and complete the mission.
“okay.”
The principles of swordsmanship.
I reached level 3 without ever realizing anything like that.
I felt somewhat envious and felt like I had lost 3 times in just one day.
* * *
After reading Yangpanso three times, there are 6 hours remaining.
I couldn’t bear to read it again, so I slept after that.
When I woke up, my head was clear and I felt extremely refreshed.
My brain was active enough to clearly play the contents of the novel I read before going to sleep in my head.
“As expected, Hoyoung!”
Se-yong Kim said while shadowboxing next to him.
Swish. Swish.
The punch of the guy who cut through the wind was cheerful.
“why?”
“You’re the only one with a lot of free time.”
“Perhaps… … ?”
It seemed like everyone stayed up all night.
It is said that everyone practiced by reading passages from the book over and over again.
I was the only one who was sleeping peacefully.
It was something that could not be helped.
What I chose was a novel.
Because there wasn’t even a hint of room for training.
“Is there anything in that book about how to return?”
Kim Se-yong’s stupid question.
I thought it might be like that at first, but it wasn’t at all.
The author also just glossed over the method of regression.
Even if there was a method, it’s not like I could put it into practice.
“I don’t know, man!”
“Then can you take a look at my punches?”
At the same time, Kim Se-yong unleashed his stone fist skill into the air.
Exciting.
As always.
But to be honest, that’s just it, nothing has changed yet.
“you’re good.”
“really? “Kkkkkk.”
Se-yong Kim was as happy as a child when I praised him.
And at that moment, a notification message was heard by everyone.
[The 5th floor mission starts now.]
It’s finally here.
The reason why a novel book was recommended to me is when the question becomes clear.
[Move to the 5th floor of the tower.]
The thirteen members of our group were quickly taken to an unfamiliar place.
huh?
But the background is a bit strange.
It’s different than usual, but it’s very different.
“Isn’t this a classroom?”
We were sitting in an unfamiliar classroom.
We weren’t the only people here.
Many characters exist in the background. You can feel it.
That they are not players like us.
“Something is strange!”
Seo Jun-ho shouted.
Except for us, the other backgrounds were frozen like a still screen, and the characters in the background did not move either.
It looks like it will come back to life right away when you press the play button.
We couldn’t help but have questions about this unfamiliar place where we couldn’t even feel the flow of air.
“Will these people come alive when the mission begins?”
We don’t know yet.
All we have to do is wait for an explanation of the message.
[The mission on the 5th floor is role play.]
The tower was trying to do something strange again.
It’s all of a sudden role-playing.
There was silence.
Everyone just looked at each other with surprised eyes.
And the message continues.
[You have arrived in a world of another dimension.]
[This is a place where humans and monsters coexist.]
[And from now on, you are academy cadets training to become monster ‘hunters.’]
[Then, we will instill new memories necessary for role play.]
“Ahh!”
“Aaaah!”
Moans were heard from everywhere.
I also felt like my head was exploding.
The foreign sensation of unfamiliar information rushing into my brain is enough to make me nauseous.
[Memory injection is complete.]
[Now you can act like someone who was born and raised here.]
[mission]
1. Complete quests that are generated frequently over the next four days.
2. Players who fail will be immediately summoned to the lobby to perform a death mission.
This was the end of the message.
“what?”
There were two memories coexisting in my head.
Lee Ho-young, the original me, and Lee Ho-young, who lived in an unfamiliar world.
There were two me inside me.
And one more strange fact.
“It’s crazy.”
The injected memories were not completely new.
These memories were something I knew in advance through sweeping SSS-level skills.
