To be honest, this life was a bit exciting.

Had he suddenly developed a taste for killing? No. It was because of the difference in level. He understood the joy that big numbers would give him for the first time.

Attack Use martial arts Use toolbox

It didnt matter what he chose. He would win. Attack would end it in three seconds, and hed already done Use martial arts, so

Attack Use martial arts Use toolbox

For now, hed figure out what the Toolbox would do for him.

<You have selected Use toolbox. Instructions will not be repeated.> [Toolbox] <Healing> Confectionery Bar (Bitten) Golden Potion x2 Iron-Blood Poison x1 <Equipment> Short Sword x1 Moon-Scented Dagger x1 <You may choose from Healing items and Equipment.> Healing Equipment

Does it only show the things I can use right now? That would mean everything he could see could be helpful right now.

[Equipment] [Weapons] Short Sword x1 Moon-Scented Dagger x1 <You have selected Short Sword.> <Where do you want to equip it?> Location Right Hand <Continuing.>

Huh? When? The opponents expression stiffened.

So this is how it works. The sword had appeared directly in his right hand. This feature would be handy if he ever broke or lost his weapon. Of course, he wasnt in control of when the System would give him the opportunity.

Die! As his poor skills suggested, Seol-Hwis opponent rushed in recklessly.

In Seol-Hwis eyes, the man was almost too slow. He took him down with a simple stab and plucked the bamboo plaque off the corpse.

The Toolbox Seol-Hwi weighed the benefits of the Toolbox versus being able to rewind to three seconds before the attack. Honestly, it didnt seem that great in comparison, though the healing could be useful in an emergency. He didnt think it was reliable, though.

Well, Ill figure out a good use for it if I keep trying. No need to use it just because I learned it.

Seol-Hwi peeked around and carefully moved away.

[Stealth has been activated.] <Note: Internal Energy will be gradually consumed.>

How many people were in the test arena? What treasures lie within, and how many?

What he did know were the two buildings hed seen in his last life. The bigger the building, the more treasures it had.

There were seven buildings: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. Seol-Hwi opted to go for the purple building. Why? It seemed like it had the most treasure. The purple building had three sections arranged into a U-shape, and all sections were quite tall.

Seol-Hwi quickly leapt over the wall. Fortunately, there was good coverhe had Stealth, but the sugar canes blocking vision were better. He may be stronger than before, but that was all relative. He couldnt be sure just how strong he was.

First, to the roof, he decided. And to this side. There was an opening on the other side, but he opted for the other direction. Seol-Hwi leapt over the roof tiles and ducked into a window.

I need to be careful from now on. He cautiously scanned the room. It was large, large enough to comfortably accommodate a dozen people. It had a closet and a few drawers along the walls. Seol-Hwi carefully closed the door and thoroughly searched the room for treasure.

Tch. Nothing. He was disappointed, but he knew it would be weird to find a treasure so easily.

Seol-Hwi padded slowly into the hallway.

Huh? Someones there? Seol-Hwi ducked into a doorframe. He could feel the energy from a room a little bit away. It wasnt something he could normally feel; it was probably because of his new technique.

[Stealth Effect] - You can hear faint sounds from the 5th room.

Detecting your opponents was a critical part of effective stealth. This technique turned out to be surprisingly effective at it.

Seol-Hwi decided that he needed to see the opponent. He wouldnt just blindly attack; he would track them down, discern their abilities, and then find a weakness. Seol-Hwi took full advantage of Stealth to approach, sticking as close to the wall as he could.

He felt the opponent move from the third room, by the stairs, to the second floor. What is he up to?

It was frustrating. The enemy was moving, but Seol-Hwi couldnt figure out what was happening through the closed door. He didnt have the confidence to venture in, however.

He got more nervous the longer he waited. Its dangerous to stay like this Should I just attack? If he remained in the hallway, exposed, another enemy could come. In the worst-case scenario, that meant dealing with two opponents at once.

Lets go in. Believe in yourself! Seol-Hwi carefully cracked the door open. The System didnt show him any weaknesses, just the enemys abilities.

[Status] Gu Yeom [Wutian Pavilion Extermination Squad Leader] Body: Normal [Stats] Health: 2,205/2,205 Internal Energy: 1,820/1,820

Seol-Hwi dashed towards him, swinging his sword as hard as he could. The man hastily tried to block and lost his balance.

[Stats] Health: 2,102(103)/2,205 Internal Energy: 1,712(108)/1,820

The mans body twisted and collapsed. Seol-Hwi didnt miss the chancehis sword whistled past his opponents chest and smashed into his collarbone.

<A powerful strike!> [Stats] Health: 44(2,058)/2,205 Internal Energy: 110(1,602)/1,820

Gu Yeom coughed up blood. His eyes lost focus, and it seemed like he lost the will to fight.

Why? Seol-Hwi had successfully beat him down, but he was confused. Why didnt I get a message about a weakness this time?

It should have, from what he knew. So what was the trigger then? How was he supposed to land the critical hits?

kill me, Gu Yeom croaked. His eyes were hazy and struggled to stay focused.

I see. He didnt want to fight. There would be no window if the opponent was ready to die already.

I need to finish him off. Seol-Hwi brought his blade up to Gu Yeoms throat. Then, he saw something in the cabinets the man had been rummaging through.

Wait, why is this here? A confectionery bar. The rest of the cabinet was empty, but it seemed like Gu Yeom had been rummaging through it for some time.

Im curious about something. Seol-Hwi turned back to the man. Why were you searching here for so long?

Gu Yeom didnt answer, but Seol-Hwi couldnt figure out if he was being stubborn or he just didnt have the energy to respond.

I need to get this done quickly. Seol-Hwi hefted his sword again. He swung it down, and

<Please select a choice.>

What now? Hed decided to kill the man, but another option was presented.

Kill Torture

Why arent you killing me? Gu Yeom stared up at him with a sudden intensity.

Ill get there.

What the hell are you on about?

Based on my experience, torturing seems like the more useful option. Well then.

Seol-Hwi approached and pushed down on the mans shattered collarbone.

AhAck!

The bone cracked loudly. By inducing internal energy into the wound, it would rouse the pain again and twist the bones. It was an excellent torture method.

Answer me.

Answer what?

You should know.

Crazy bastard

I should do it again. Seol-Hwi was worried that the screaming would attract other people, but he knew that the System always offered him choices for a reason.

Cant be helped. Seol-Hwi reached out again.

here.

What?

I have it, Gu Yeom mumbled through the pain. Take it.

[You have obtained a piece of a treasure map. 1/7]

What is this?

He opened the purple parchment, revealing a map with an accompanying manual.

[Treasure Map] Purple building treasure map. Description: All of the treasures in the purple building are shown in detail. 10 total treasures.

This is! Seol-Hwis eyes widened.

Now kill me.

Thats easy. Seol-Hwi stretched his hands out, thinking hed send Gu Yeom off painlessly, but

<Please select a choice.>

Seol-Hwi examined his choices and swore.

This bastard. He had more secrets?
