Chapter 15 - Lucky (2)

4.

“Uncle!”

In response to his niece who greeted him, Jung Hyun-woo handed her a packet.

“Now, this is the ice cream that Hyerin was waiting for. Put it in the refrigerator. Of course, don’t take more than one for now.”

“Mh-hm.”

Jung Hyun-woo sighed briefly as he watched his niece go towards the refrigerator.

‘Seems like big brother took care of her well.’

It was a sigh of relief of being free from the despair he had been subject to only a few hours ago.

“Why are you so late?”

On the other hand, the voice of his hyung, Jung Tae-woo, towards the appearance of his brother was filled with anxiety.

“Did you goto to Japan to buy ice cream or something? Do you know how long it has been? ”

Jung Hyun-woo being late made him worried.

Seeing his older brother’s worries, Jung Hyun-woo replied back with a grin.

“Hyung, I’m about to be thirty now.”

It seemed funny to be treated like a child even when he was in his late 20s.

“Yeah, now you are at the age of getting married too.”

“No, not like that.”

“Yes, since you’re all grown up, you should go and meet some girls and have some romance.”

In such conversations, Hyun-woo shook his head lightly and said.

“Something urgent came up, so I went to take care of it. ”

“Work?”

“Something related to a dog.”

Jung Hyun-woo’s answer sooner or later brought upon a smile that he tried to suppress.

“Uncle! Are we raising a puppy?”

Hyerin, who was eating an ice cream, asked with a twinkle in her eyes.

“Perhaps we are.”

Hyun-woo’s words lit up the heart of his young niece.

Jung Hyun-woo said with a smile to his niece.

“Does Hyerin like puppies?”

“Mh-hm!”

“Why?”

“They are cute!”

Jung Hyun-woo replied back.

“Yes, puppies are cute.”

At that moment, a thought came upon Jung Hyun-woo’s head.

‘Fenrir.’

5.

Fenrir.

A monster that appeared in Nordic mythology and whose howl signalled the end of the world.

It was a world-renowned myth, and in many fields the name Fenrir was adapted and used.

God of Wars was no different.

In God of Wars, Fenrir made his appearance by occupying one of the positions of the gods.

‘The Immortal Guild’s guild master Lapo, and his Shinsu, Tori Tori, whose Faith was Fenrir.’

‘The name was quite funny though.’

However, Lapo, who put Tori Tori in the front whenever fighting, showed his insane ability in the early days of the game.

‘The combination of the best attack type familiar and the strongest buffer.’

Legendary class, Blessed Herald, only obtainable for those who served the goddess Nike, who only presents victory.

Lapo, who obtained the first growth type class in God Wars, was gifted the Shinsu before he even reached level 10.

Lapo then wiped out God Wars with his newly attained Shinsu.

He didn’t even have to actively play the game and only slept.

Due to Lapo’s powerful buffs, his strong Shinsu, whether it was a player or a monster, they were all instantly turned into items and experience chunks.

‘It was utter nonsense.’

Furthermore, Hyun-woo had seen Tori Tori in action up close, and realized the power of Fenrir.

At the beginning of the game, he played in a party with Lapo and then he saw it with his own eyes.

And he realized.

‘I really realized that this game was based upon pure luck.’

That this is a game was more rotten than you could ever imagine.

Anyway, Fenrir was a very big deal for a Shinsu.

It was that strong.

‘If it’s like this, then the story is different now.’

Naturally, Jung Hyun-woo’s plan had to be revised.

‘I have to be much more careful now.’

No doubt, Lucky’s Faith being Fenrir is great.

However, this did not mean that Fenrir was strong enough to protect Jung Hyun-woo from all threats right away.

The Shinsu had to grow like a player.

‘If I aimlessly go about, and get into an accident, then I may have to quit this game.’

If you show it to others, without a doubt, some of them will definitely not be able to stand it, and because of envy, Hyun-woo’s new character would be endlessly PKed.

‘Since an opportunity like this came knocking on my door, how can I just blow it away.’

For that reason, he can’t quit a character with Archmage as a job that obtained Lucky.

Honestly, this was a huge opportunity for Hyun-woo.

If he were to make a new character right now, he could get the Archmage class again.

But what about getting a new Shinsu?

Would this opportunity ever come again?

Even if it does come, would it be possible that the Shinsu could get the top Faith amongst all tiers called Fenrir?

‘I have to guard it.’

Only one thing is clear, this character must be kept even if there is a limit to it’s life.

“Bro, there’s a spot free!”

“Okay.”

‘Let’s see how well it fights.’

So Hyun-woo prepared to access the game again.

“Bro!”

Lee Hyuk-Joo said to him.

“You now only have 2 hours of prepaid time left.”

“… … I know.”

“When it’s finished, it is forcibly terminated. I can’t do anything about this too! Make sure to adjust in the middle! ”

“Okay.”

Hearing the words of Lee Hyuk-joo, Hyun-woo grit his teeth.

‘Once I have enough money, let’s buy a capsule first.’

It was at that moment when he really understood it.

6.

“Woof woof!”

The lightly breathing little ball of fur, Lucky.

It’s tail that wagged softly without a sound was just like that of a puppy itself.

Just looking at it would make one let out a smile.

“Woof!”

Eventually, Midas let out a sigh as he looked at Lucky who barked brightly at him with its tail wagging from side to side.

Midas’s facial expression and the look in his eyes did not match.

His eyes were frowning as if he was looking at a sight he should not have seen.

Midas’s gaze turned towards a goblin that was about 10 meters away.

‘Oh my god.’

The scene Midas saw a little while ago came back to him.

Lucky, a small, cute little fur-ball that was gazing at him as if asking to have its head stroked, had turned the goblin into a mangled heap of flesh and bones, like a torn rag.

‘It was to this point?’

Even to Midas, this level of power from Lucky, who had the Faith of Fenrir, was very surprising.

He knew that his Shinsu was strong.

He knew that with its Faith being Fenrir, it was the best familiar for close combat.

‘Although a goblin is weak, but this much of a difference at the same level is broken… … ’

How could it be to this point?

At this point, It wasn’t a matter of just catching the goblin.

Lucky’s body was small in size, it was less than 50 centimeters, not including the tail.

Honestly he was quite doubtful even when he said, ‘Go catch the Goblin’.

Can a guy who looks so cute and pitiful still catch a monster like a goblin?

But as soon as he gave the order, Lucky shot towards the goblin like an arrow being let loose .

‘As soon as it approached, it threw its body at it and bit the Goblin’s nape.’

‘And soon after landing, it tore open the Achilles’ tendon in the ankle.’

The Goblin screamed and struggled, while Lucky repeatedly targeted only the Goblin’s ankle.

‘So it can’t use any escape skills.’

The steps that were taken to attack the goblin were performed perfectly.

In face of Lucky’s brutal attack, the goblin was torn up like a rag.

‘It is a perfect hunting dog.’

Rather than saying it’s just very strong, it’s very strong and very smart too.

‘Isn’t this thing even stronger than me?’

Honestly, even Midas wasn’t confident that if he fought with Lucky, he would win.

On one hand, he could feel it more clearly.

‘This game is all about luck.’

What is the difference between those who have endless amounts of money to sink into this game and those who don’t?

One of these is the average strength of the people in each category, but what if it is filled with legendary items and skills?

‘People running as if their life depends on it, and a Porsche casually going by, there’s no question as to who can go further and faster.’

This game was made to make it easier for anyone with money to play the game.

‘The question of whether he can reach the finish line won’t even pop up for the guy who is driving the Porsche. This is the difference in their mindsets.’

At this moment, some stories came upon his mind.

The stories of where people who became world renowned stars through God Wars.

‘The standard of living are leagues away.’

Now that Midas caught a glimpse of what it meant to have good luck in God Wars, he realized it wasn’t a rumor, but a reality.

The way of living became different.

‘Very good.’

And now Midas was a resident of that reality.

“Good job, Lucky.”

Soon after, Midas fixed his expression and lightly stroked Lucky’s head.

“Houuu!”

Midas smiled.

‘Now it’s my turn.’

Lucky’s ability was fully confirmed.

Then, of course, it was time to check Midas’ abilities.

[Midas]-Level: 4

-Faith: War Dragon

-Job: Archmage

-Stats: Strength(5 + 16) / Endurance (5 + 16) / intellect (20 + 18) / Mana (9 + 18)

-Remaining Stats: 0

Midas, who checked the stats window, laughed.

‘I can’t even boast about this. Everyone will say it’s fake. ‘

Tutorial Master, Pinpoint Rescue, Hyden’s Helper, Legendary Beginning.

His stats, boosted with rune rewards from the four titles, had already exceeded common sense.

‘I think Azumo wouldn’t have had this much either.’

The first Archmage, the greatest player among the existing players, the mighty rich Azumo, who spent the most money on God Wars, even he couldn’t have had stats like this at level 4.

‘Well, if it was just comparing items, then I wouldn’t be comparable at all.’

Of course, after Azmo would have set up his items with his massive reserves of money, he would also probably have had set items.

Midas would certainly lose to Azumo there, no question about that.

‘Azmo was equipped with six Legendary-grade items when he was at level 10 right?’

Someone who wants to live like a normal human wanting to have one legendary item, and a person who was decked out in Legendary equipment with Legendary skills couldn’t be compared in the first place.

‘But still, there is nothing to be pushed out of if we’re looking at pure stats.’

In other words, the level of Midas now is at least comparable.

‘If I’m with Lucky with these kinds of stats, I can massacre goblins without any need of party play.’

There is no reason to be afraid of goblins.

‘I could even deal with three goblins at the same time.’

What this meant was it was great.

‘I can do Solo play now.’

In fact, it was hard to say that what Midas did was solo play yesterday.

Struggling to find a lone goblin, and when the group of goblins passed by, he hid his traces and calmed his breathing. Rather than saying that it was hunting, it’s more like some rat picking up some leftovers.

Moreover, the hunting ground where Midas was active was a space that was managed and overseen by the Explorer’s Guild.

‘I can go outside the area managed by the Explorer’s Guild.’

Things like fifteen goblins moving in a group, an orc-like monster appears in a field that supposedly only had goblins.

Or, if a PK’er is slaughtering low-level players.

Such things could not be found in the hunting grounds managed by the Explorer’s Guild.

‘I have no intention of using their help service anyway.’

Furthermore, the Explorer’s Guild was even operating a help service, waiting for players who needed help in preparation for an unknown threat.

This was the reason why God Wars players easily accepted the existence of the Explorer’s Guild despite their actions.

If you use the services provided by the Explorer’s Guild properly, you can enjoy the game without worrying about various annoying matters.

Moreover, the difficulty of the game is very high, and since the death penalty is big, the Explorer’s Guild, which guarantees safety by taking taking money from ordinary players, sometimes looked like a savior to the new players.

Anyway, at the level Midas was at now, it was possible to hunt enough outside the territory managed by existences such as the Explorer’s Guild.

Because it was not managed, monsters ran rampant and it could be pretty dangerous, but on the contrary, if it was possible for one to hunt in a place where strong monsters existed in abundance, then the area could be seen as a blessing in disguise.

‘The day when this happens is finally coming.’

It was unthinkable for Midas, who was only at a level where he could be thrown around like trash, that he could hunt in those kinds of areas.

Midas’ heart started pounding after thinking about all the profit he could make from the items that would drop.

At that moment, Midas told himself to calm down.

‘I can’t log out because of my heart rate going crazy like last time.’

He was so surprised the other day, and he didn’t want to experience another ridiculous forced logout.

“Hoo.”

So after Midas took a deep breath, he now started with his last work.

‘Now let’s sort out the skill cards.’

Along with obtaining the Legendary title, the skill card that was rewarded by the War Dragon, who was Midas’ Faith.

[Would you like to receive the Skill Card reward?]

Midas was then rewarded with the reward that he wasn’t rewarded before.

Then, immediately, 100 cards filled Midas’ eyes.

And the information beyond that filled Midas’ head.

However, there was only one thing visible to him.

A card that emits a brilliant red glow like a ruby.

[Telekinesis]-Skill level: Unique

-Skill Effect: You can move an object with your mind.

After confirming the card, Midas jolted and blinked his eyes.

Holy sh*t!

Then Lucky, who was next to Midas, howled.

“Ah, Lucky, you surprised me!”

“Khau?”

Midas was frightened by the sudden sound, and Lucky was also surprised because of the surprised expression that Midas had.

It was like some grand skit.

At that moment, Midas made a commitment.

‘… … Let’s go out and buy some Cheongshimhwan. ‘(Note: A pill that clears one’s heart)
