2 days later, in the training room

[Failed the Three Dantian integration.]

The Attempt to integrate Three Dantian integration failed.

I lack both, the power and experience.

The integration of the Three Dantian was not achieved through willpower alone. Even though I have Martial power, it is still insufficient.

The experience from the previous life was abundant only in the Bottom dantian, the source of power, but it was lacking for the Middle and Top dantians.

But

Seong Jihan had a bright expression despite the failure.

It was because he had gained something through this.

[Divine Power and Magic Power have been integrated and replaced by the unique stat Force.]

[Achievement unlocked: Acquisition of Unique Stat.]

[Youve Earned 10,000 achievement points.]

He had acquired his initial goal, the Unique Stat Force.

[The connection link of the Three Dantians is maintained faintly.]

[The stats Martial Power and Force interact, sharing stats points.]

The relatively low value of Force stat had risen to match Martial Power.

Name: Seong Jihan

Level: 10

Affiliation: Bronze League Gangnam 1 Area

Martial Power: 12

Force: 12

Class: Support

Class: Mage

Gift: Wanderers Insight (Rank F)

Title: Tutorial Conqueror Bronze

Achievement Points: 51,200

Remaining Stats points: 2

I should allocate some points.

Seong Jihan cautiously increased Martial Power by 2 and as his Martial Power changed to 14, Force also rose to 14 accordingly.

He clenched his fist involuntarily.

This is as if I gained the effects of Barons Gift, Two Status Windows.

He could solve most things through the Achievement Shop, but obtaining two stat points at once was out of the question.

With the connection link of the Three Dantians maintained and Martial Power and Force linked, he was now able to receive 2 remaining points just like that.

If he used one stat point, two stats would increase.

This is a very good result.

Of course, the best result would have been the successful integration of the Three Dantians. But based on his experience of attempting integration over the past two days, Seong Jihan knew that was an impossible task at the moment.

My proficiency in the Top and Middle Dantians is too low. I need to increase the understanding of both Dantians while using Force.

Above all, he needed to increase his stats.

They should be 100 at least.

Both Strength and Force needed to be at 100 for the attempt at Three Dantian integration to be possible.

I have a goal now.

With a smile on his lips, Seong Jihan finished his three days of secluded training and left the training room.

Uncle! Are you done with training? Are you feeling okay?

Yoon Seah, who had been waiting outside the training room, rushed over.

Since he hadnt come out for three days, she was wondering if something was wrong and was debating whether to go in or not. Just as she was thinking that, Seong Jihan came out.

As you can see, Im doing great.

Looks like it. You seem to be in good condition.

I achieved something.

Arent you feeling sleepy or anything?

Nah, Im fine. Why?

Yoon Seah, who was observing Seong Jihans complexion, spoke cautiously.

Well you know that Manager Park Yoonsik who visited our house before, right?

He had asked for the donation of the Sword Palace and relayed the governments stance, asking to stay in the penthouse a bit longer.

After requesting an auction for the items left by the Sword King, he had sent them back.

Why? Did he mention anything about the auction?

Yes. He said the higher-ups had accepted and asked if we could host the auction tomorrow, and I said yes.

Tomorrow? Thats tight on time.

Ah, he came the day before yesterday. From that perspective, its three days away.

I see. You did well.

And I looked through the items a bit

Seong Jihan skimmed through the list of items to be auctioned and nodded his head.

The items Yoon Seah had chosen werent the Sword Kings personal belongings.

They were storage devices containing his Battle Net Connector and data, as well as analysis data of both himself and opponentsessentially, all data related to Battle Net play.

Putting items like the Sword Kings personal belongings in an auction like this could have a negative effect.

The reason for hosting the auction was to get as much money as possible from the Sword King, whod left for Japan. It wasnt to sell useless things to fans who couldnt let go of him.

She must have handled everything alone to avoid disturbing my training.

With this much, there was no need to add more items to the auction.

Youve chosen the items well. Youd have received backlash if you put up something like your fathers personal belongings.

Uncle, theres no way Id auction off such things. Even as his daughter, I feel a bit weird when I see my dads stuff Saeah made an uncomfortable expression, then quickly changed it.

It seemed like she didnt want to reveal the emotions she was feeling from looking at the things her father had left behind.

Anyway Uncle! I found a good Battle Tube channel. Her voice sounded brighter than before.

Yoon Seahs expression shifted from gloomy to bright as she spoke, her voice now sounding even more cheerful than before.

Yeah? What is it?

And Seong Jihan, pretending not to notice her change in demeanor, responded naturally.

Remember when you mentioned the request to find the Shadow Queen before?

I do.

Not having much to do by himself, he hadnt placed high expectations on that task and had left it to her.

Could it be youve found some leads?

Hehe. Uncle, you know there are all sorts of people in the world, right?

Yoon Seah gestured for him to follow her.

She led him to the home theater room located on one side of the penthouse.

And on the wall of the dimly lit room was a screen displaying something.

This is

Seong Jihans eyes widened.

Inside the screen, the elves in the Colosseums stands were greatly magnified.

Among the Battle Tubers, there are content creators from different races.

Different races content creators?

Yeah. Mainly archers with Scoping-type gifts. Among these people, there are those who specialize in recording content of their own race.

Scoping-type gifts allowed a broader field of view and were not very useful at lower levels but became quite valuable in higher leagues.

To use such a good ability to record first-person videos

Seong Jihan found it absurd.

Nevertheless, the Battle Tubers were looking at each elf one by one, showering them with admiration.

Oh wow~ This race is indeed the best. Flawless skin ahem Elf, please, could you grace us with your presence just once?

In response to his rough breathing, Yoon Seah frowned and muted the video.

No need to hear the sound, right? Its creepy.

Right.

There are roughly a thousand elves. Dark elves are similar in number, maybe a bit more. Some Dark elves actually have sponsors from two Dark elf fans and some watch the games alone without sponsors, I heard.

Hmm

Was the dark elf leading two dark elves the Shadow Queen?

Or was it the lone dark elf?

Both possibilities were plausible.

Uncle, Im also searching for foreign videos, so Ill edit and show you later.

You know how to edit videos too? I didnt know Seah had this kind of talent.

Well, that Ive done a bit of fangirling in the past.

As Yoon Seah finished her sentence, she turned off the home theater and stood up.

Anyway! Ill show you the clips Ive carefully selected earlier.

Sure. Thanks.

Got it~. Since youve trained for three days, Im telling you not to play games and rest today.

Haha, okay.

With those words, Yoon Seah left the home theater room to investigate.

Even though my body is fine.

He couldnt refuse his nieces request.

Seong Jihan smirked and looked at the screen on the wall.

She didnt turn off the screen.

If he was going to take a day off, maybe he should watch the news here for a bit.

Seong Jihan looked around for the remote control and pressed various buttons.

This remote control from the past was quite different from the futures, and he wasnt sure which button did what.

Hmm?

After pressing a button mistakenly, the black screen changed, revealing the storage space of the home theater.

Several folder names caught Seong Jihans eye.

Among them was something eye-catching.

[Dads POTG Collection ]

POTG.

Play of the game.

The scene selected when the most impressive play is performed in international games.

In most of Koreas POTG from international matches, the Sword King was often featured.

And also.

[Sword King Family Related Videos]

[Dads Speech Collection]

And so on

The storage space of the home theater was filled with videos related to Sword King Yoon Sejin.

Seong Jihan realized something when he saw this.

This seems to be videos from the past when she was a fan. Yoon Seah had become proficient in video editing, an idol of fandom.

And the subject was none other than Sword King Yoon Sejin.

Its quite plausible. After all, Seah admired her father.

He was ranked 3rd in the world and 1st in the Warrior class.

The Sword King Yoon Sejin, a name known to everyone around the world.

He had a gentle and harmonious personality and cherished his only daughter greatly.

He was a father that any child would love and admire.

Shes pretending to be calm.

It probably wasnt easy since the dad she loved and admired so much had abandoned her.

Theres no way shed be able to easily forget that.

Beep.

Seong Jihan turned off the screen with a determined expression and left the room.

Seahs birthday is coming up soon.

Even though he had forgotten the phone number he used in Korea, he hadnt forgotten his nieces birthday.

August 22nd.

That day was not only Yoon Se-ahs birthday but its also her memorial day.

This upcoming birthday will be the day Seah receives her gift.

People worldwide eagerly awaited their 18th birthdays because, among the few players that awakened Gifts, they all received them on their 18th birthdays.

I wonder what kind of gift Seah will receive. It was a subject of great interest.

The daughter of Sword King Yoon Sejin and Saintess Seong Jiah.

Even though there was no correlation between the rank and inheritance of giftsStill, peoples psychology led them to expect that if both parents had exceptional gifts, their child should too.

This country was no different.

Even the nation wondered if Yoon Seah would receive a remarkable gift that would follow in the Sword Kings footsteps.

Until just before her birthday, despite public criticism, they had taken a stance to protect her.

But when her birthday arrivedThe gift Yoon Seah received was shocking.

It was F-rank.

An F-rank gift, which was considered not much better than having no gift at all.

That birthday, Jihan saw despair on Saeahs face for the first time. Shed even managed to remain calm when Sword King Yoon Saejin had left for Japan, but after receiving an F-rank Gift on her birthday, she couldnt maintain her faade.

That Gift was Saeahs last hope, after all

When she was being criticized by the nation as the daughter of Sword King Yoon Sejin, The only thing that could potentially turn the situation around was receiving an exceptional gift but the gift she received was F-rank.

The public responded by criticizing and ridiculing her, saying that her father had left her behind because of her talent

But they didnt know the value of that gift at that time.

Nobody knew that an F-rank Gift had the potential to surpass an SSS-rank one.

When it was revealed that the worlds ranked 2nd, from China, had the same Gift as her, it was already too late By that time, Yoon Saeah had already left the world.

But this time, things will be different.

Ill make sure that the public that blamed you for your fathers betrayalThey will beg for your forgiveness and plead for you to stay in Korea.

Definitely.

Seong Jihans eyes gleamed coldly.
