Episode 57

The Guardian must have come from the confrontation with the undead, the Investigator from searching the city for the truth, and the Breaker from destroying Dullahan and the undead armies. Jung Si-woo spoke after much consideration.

Will my choice be the breaker?

Im voting for Investigator. Wouldnt it be good for you?

It sounds weak.

But the chances of discovering the truth are higher.

Hyeong-nim, I like the word Guardian. A wall that will never fall! No monsters or gods can get what they want on earth, as long as youre here!

Coincidentally, all three of them had different opinions. But the Investigator, or the GuardianJung Si-woo looked around. There was once the wall of truth standing there, but it was collapsed now. There was only one conclusion he could make.

Ill choose the breaker.

Well, I knew it

Its a good match for you, Hyeong-nim.

His bias was clear. The Investigator and Guardian were just the wishes of Soo Ah-rin and Yong Se-ha. He will break everything down, whether its stumbling or not. It will make neither investigation nor protection necessary. As long as the destruction isnt internal, he will never be destroyed.

[You have selected the Breakers path. Awakening your strength.]

At that moment. The world collapsed.

Waaaaaah?

Jung Si-woo rolled over the floor because the pain was beyond his imagination. The overwhelming mana that he couldnt handle had now condensed all over his body; mana that had originated from this world! A huge amount of mana was being poured into him, so much that some of the space was beginning to twist. Jung Si-woo felt as if all the holes in his body were wide open, and a stream of fire was being poured into them.

UghhhhhWas switching jobs normally this painful!

No way! Th, the world is melting down. Oh, its not. Just this space is melting down.

I can feel a great presence. Oh, is this

They didnt know how job transferring was done in this world, but it was clear that this was a very unkind way for Jung Si-woo. He was starting to lose his sanity because of the seemingly infinite mana that was being pushed into his body, and the world that gave him that power was starting to cause an earthquake where Serien was located. To make matters worse, a tremendous amount of mana that they couldnt handle was approaching from far away.

[Finallythe Earths!]

Jung Si-woo couldnt complain that he couldnt hear the man talking from far away because he was trying hard not to lose his sanity from all the pain he was in. All his five senses were clearly messed up. But the process of accepting mana continued. The aftereffects were also significant because he was drawing records without needing consent from the world, but Jung Si-woo didnt care.

Meanwhile, the pain was fading away, and these words appeared over the darkened retina of Jung Si-woo.

[You have risen two levels.]

That was good news. Everything looked neat now since the level had risen to 85. Jung Si-woo laughed bitterly at such a silly thought. The pain was so severe that it made him almost forget his existence. Now he just wanted it to end quickly. What was even more frightening was that this was only a part of the process of transfer. It was only the process of pouring the ingredient (mana) into the container (Jung Si-woo). After this was over, the process of reforming his body based on the mana was awaiting. He thought it would be easier to let go of his consciousness, but he didnt want to because it made him feel like a loser.

[Courage of the Ignorant skill Lv8. You have become resistant to all types of pain.]

His level for Courage of the Ignorant had raised just now. It was like he was being teased. Was the growth point of that skill ignorance or bravery? Anyway, it was fortunate that the pain was more bearable. Suddenly, he opened his mouth.

Hoo, haah, whoodamn it!

His five senses, which had been completely forgotten, had started to return a little. He thought it was like being able to breathe again. Jung Si-woo seriously thought that even the feeling of this moment could be used to make the five senses into passive skills later on. In a sense, his patience and enthusiasm were close to madness.

OhOppa!

Hyeong-nim, Themonst

Soo Ah-rin and Yong Se-ha were shouting something at him, but he couldnt hear them well, but soon the voice of a woman he didnt know cut through.

[Im resentful that I cant kill you right now.]

Finally, the whole space that was turned into mana for Jung Si-woo was completely destroyed. They were expelled from the world and returned to earth. Fortunately, they were in Jung Si-woos resting place. But the real hell was just getting started.

Ohhhh!

Could this be compared to the first time he was reborn as an underground player? The mana, which was condensed into Jung Si-woos body, was spreading and condensed back to one point. It repeatedly crumpled and twisted his body.

Ahhhh, Oppa!

Calm down! Hes just in the process of transfer so that he wont dieand look at the changes of his body!

Jung Si-woos body was all twisted. The terrible pain once again bothered him so much that it was strange he didnt immediately die, but he endured it. It was funny that he fought against Dullahan and won but was now failing to overcome the pain of transferring jobs.

Kkhhkaaha!

At that time, the high density of mana that began in his heart awakened his senses. It swallowed all the dead mana and cells, reborn as a completely new nature as it recreated his body. Jung Si-woos body changed appearance by throwing away all the unnecessary parts and by sucking up mana. His bones, blood, muscles, flesh, skin, everything that made up his body were evolving into a form that was most suitable for exerting power.

Hoooohuuuaaaaa.!

The mana that rebuilt his body swept away his passive and active skills. All of them were strengthened to fit the newly reborn body, and the mana was now running through his whole body and painting geometric patterns. It was a Mana circuit that no one could reproduce. It was an active skill. With that, Jung Si-woos job transfer, which was more intense than anyone elses, ended.

[Neither the future road nor the past road means anything to you. The only thing that matters to you is the act of breaking. But at the same time, it also means that you walk on the toughest and greatest path.]

[You have become a Breaker. All status and skills have significantly grown.]

[You have learned Player Skill Strength (Active).]

Jung Si-woo opened his eyes. He could see Soo Ah-rins worried face in front of him. Her lips looked so sweet as he stared blankly at her pretty face. She was talking to him.

Do you see me, Oppa?

Why have you become human size?

You can see fine. Im glad about that

Soo Ah-rin stepped away from Jung Si-woo. Jung Si-woo shook his head and tried to raise himself, but he realized that he was naked. Soo Ah-rin turned her head away, blushing.

Get dressed first. Ill explain after that.

Oh, okay. I think Ive gotten a little biggerwheres Se-ha?

Im right here, Hyeong-nim.

He looked for Yong Se-ha after putting on his jeans and a shirt. He was as close to Jung Si-woo as Soo Ah-rin. He was also the size of a human, his butterfly wings shining brilliantly.

So why are you allhmm?

Jung Si-woo realized only then that his resting place had changed quite a bit. The interior space was expanded as if he had consumed beads to raise its level. But it wasnt that. His rest area had also leveled up in line with his new job. He checked the condition of his resting place and realized why Soo Ah-rin and Yong Se-ha maintained their original appearance.

[Resting Place Lv4 Using skills and spell within this place doesnt consume mana and stamina.]

Aha, so

Yes, we can live as your original self as long as you are inside here. Its clear that the resting place is no ordinary space. Thats a good thing for us.

Soo Ah-rin looked proud and turned around. It wasnt a uniform but a white dress, and it suited very well with her round eyes and soft impression. She even looked like an angel with white feather wings on her back.

Wowyou guys changed too, havent you?

I think its because were your supporters. Although there were no violent changes like you, weve become quite strong too. Even more than when I cleared the 10th stage of the dungeon and transferred my job.

Yong Se-ha looked very proud. Compared to the gloomy expression when the sea of Ritaire disappeared, it was a world of difference. Yong Se-ha had the hope of moving forward now. Feeling a little shy, Jung Si-woo patted his shoulder and raised his body completely. His body felt too light.

I could even fly away

I was expecting this, but youve become too strong. You really wont be beaten up by anyone from now.

Well.

Thats, of course, on earth. But what about in another world? For example, what if he went against the woman who spoke directly into Jung Si-woos mindJung Si-woo laughed at himself at that thought.

He chose the path of the Breaker, saying that he would destroy everything that appeared. But what will he do with a goal that couldnt be achieved? Break everything. Build up his strength to break everything he couldnt. Jung Si-woo looked up and murmured as if he had promised himself.

Okay, lets check.

And he opened his status.
