The Novel's Extra Chapter 95

Chapter 95
Chapter 95 . Initiation (2)

 

Physique .
By definition, it was the innate physiological property or health-related trait of a person’s body .
The same definition applied to this world’s meaning of Physique, making it somewhat similar to Gifts . In fact, it wouldn’t be wrong to call it the body's Gift .
Recovering quicker, taking in mana better, having superior organ functions; there were all kinds of Physiques .
However, the Physique I planned to create now was a little more complex .

===
[Magic Dysfunction Physique]
□Magic Dysfunction
—Physique that prevents the body’s emission of magic power, trapping mana inside the body .
===

Magic Dysfunction Physique .
A body that can’t use magic power .
At first glance, it was easy to see it as an undesirable negative Physique .
However, that wasn’t the case for me .
Since I couldn’t use the magic power in my body anyways, I wouldn’t be suffering any loss . Stigma’s magic power was a different entity than my body’s magic power .
That was the important thing .
I wasn’t suffering a loss .
So I could just give up on it .
But objectively, being unable to use magic power was a huge flaw . In other words, this was a huge restriction . By applying a negative effect that served as a huge restriction, I could apply an equally powerful positive effect at cheaper cost .

===
Energy Conversion
—Mana stored in your body will not disappear; instead, it will be converted into energy and stored . Stored energy can increase your physical stats up to twice their base values, but will be used every time you move your body .
===

This was the positive effect .
Simply put, my physical stats would increase up to two times if I just ate well and slept well .
However, the stored energy would be used up with physical activity, so I would get weaker as the fight dragged on . Still, having my stats doubled could prevent me from dying from an ambush .

I thought of this Physique to protect myself from my greatest weakness – ambush . I could only trust in my luck so much . After all, my stats were just too pitiful .

===
[Strength 2 . 570]
[Stamina 2 . 580]
[Speed 3 . 265]
[Perception 4 . 220]
[Vitality 2 . 670]
[Magic power 1 . 930]
===

Nothing increased over 0 . 2 points since a month ago . At this rate, I would only be in the 4~5 point range in 10 years . With those stats of a low rank Hero, there was no way I would survive in the main story .

As such, this Physique was the best way to bridge the gap .
Without hesitation, I clicked on…

“Oh, wait… . ”

I tried changing my Physique just to see .

[Mana Affinity Physique]
[You do not have enough SP]

“Can’t you tell me how much I need?”

I got my reply pretty quickly .

[About 5500 SP is required . ]

“…Fine, fine . ”

I changed it back to Magic Dysfunction Physique and hit save .

[500 SP will be consumed . Would you like to save?]

Because of the restriction of being unable to emit magic power, I needed much less SP than expected . With 500 SP, I would have about 350 left in my bank .
Currently, my singing performance was spreading through social media like wild fire, raising my SP periodically .
I hit Enter .

“…Huh?”

Suddenly, a golden light erupted from the laptop screen, and several messages popped up .

[Your special stat, accumulation of luck, activates!]
[Golden characters rain down, forming words!]

Then, a new low rank Physique appeared .

===
□Blessing in Disguise
—With a certain chance, a tiny portion of your stored energy will lead to a permanent stat increase . (the stat increase chance is affected by your invariable luck stat . )
===

“…The heck . ”

I became absent-minded for a moment .
This… it seemed like a weaker version of the ‘Getting Stronger Everyday’ Gift I thought of long ago .
…In any case, it was free so I had nothing to complain about . Even a 0 . 001 increase per day would be a net gain .

“Nice!”

Unable to hold back my joy, I hugged Evandel who was munching on a chicken leg next to me .

“Ak, what is it?”

Evandel continued eating even in my arms .  Nom, nom, nom, nom .  She sped up, thinking I was trying to steal her food .
 

The week after Class Competitions .
Cube suddenly became desolate .
It was because cadets knew exams were coming up in two weeks .
Cadets moved back and forth between the Fitness Center and the library with tired faces, and they looked even more dreary during class . Naturally, they were less energetic for team challenges .

“Huu . ”

Days went by in this way .
Currently, it was Thursday after class .
I stood in front of Cube’s Portal Station .
My destination was Seoul .
There were things I needed to bring from Seoul before the next main story began .
While I was checking my wallet and cadet card in front of the Portal Station’s automatic door, a voice rang out from my right hand .

“Hajin, Hajin . ”

“…Like I said, you’re not allowed to talk . ”

“It feels stuffy . ”

“… .

. ”

Currently, Evandel was inside a pet cage . When I told her I was going to Seoul, she threw a tantrum saying she also wanted to go, so I had no choice but to bring her along .

“I want to get out of here . ”

She transformed into a rather unique puppy . She looked like a short-haired Pomeranian, but she had long golden hair growing on her head . Because of it, she looked cuter and more high-class .

“I’ll take you out once we arrive, so wait until then . ”

“… . ”

Evandel whimpered instead of talking . I let out a dry cough and approached a Portal worker .

“Oh? A star is here . ”

That was the first thing the Portal worker said .
I tilted my head .

“…Yes?”

“Haha, I was just listening to it . If . ”

The Portal worker laughed and showed me her watch .
[Kim Hajin (Singing Competition vers . ) – If . mp3]

“There’s an mp3 version of it?”

“It’s extracted from the video . Many people downloaded it, you know . ”

“Oh… really?”

“Yes . You were great . ”

The Portal worker smiled as she wrote my name down .

“Take care . Though, I don’t know where you’re going with your pet . ”

“Ah, yes, thank you . ”
 

===
[Athenian Citizen’s Obsidian Bracelet] [Magic Artifiact]
A bracelet with magic seals . Used by an ancient Athenian noble .

 

I went to the Seoul Magic Tower and brought back the obsidian bracelet I left . The obsidian bracelet had a new magic seal – magic power reinforcement . It was similar in function to qi reinforcement .

—You will only be able to use it once, so only use it when it’s absolutely necessary .

That was what the artificer told me, but that was because he didn’t realize the bracelet’s Automatic Recharge function . Still, I was impressed with his honesty . I made a note to myself to recommend him to Yoo Yeonha’s future Magic Tower .

Next, I went to SH Agency’s office . There was something I had to pick up from Park Soohyuk .
When I went there, I was shocked by the scale of the agency’s office .

“We already have 11 employees and 5 hunters with exclusive contracts . Ah, this office is thanks to Lady Yoo’s investment . ”

Park Soohyuk spoke proudly . Lady Yoo was obviously Yoo Yeonha .

“That’s great . You didn’t forget what I invested right?”

“Of course not . You gave it in stocks . I’ll multiply in tenfold and give it back . ”

“Oho . ”

I looked around the office in awe . The interior design was sleek, and there was

there was even a café . It was also located in a good environment .

“Let’s go downstairs . What you ordered is in the parking lot . ”

Park Soohyuk spoke with a smile .
I went downstairs with Park Soohyuk to pick up the bike I ordered before .

“Oh, is that it?”

Once I arrived at the parking lot, I saw a sparkly motorcycle taking up two parking spaces .

“By the way, Hajin, where did you get this puppy? She’s adorable . ”

Park Soohyuk smiled like a dad looking at Evandel in his arms . Evandel was smiling brightly as she calmly leaned against his chest .
Little did he know, Evandel was cuter in her human form .

“Uh… trying contacting a pet adoption center . ”

I replied half-heartedly and examined the bike .

===
[Agusta Vigilante] [Masterpiece]
□High rank Mana Frame
□Weight Reduction & Reinforcement Preservation
—Reduces the weight of the vehicle and increases its speed . Reinforcement Preservation prevents the weakness to strong impact that would result from Weight Reduction .
□Mana Booster
—Uses mana for instantaneous acceleration .
===

It was labeled as a masterpiece even though it was a manufactured product .
It was worth its cost, but its size made it cumbersome to bring along .

“Ah, Hajin, I have to go now . My employees are looking for me . ”

“Oh, okay, I’ll see you later then, Hyung . ”

“See you~”

Luckily, Park Soohyuk had to leave . He put Evandel down and quickly ran off .
Once he disappeared, I looked around the parking lot .
As expected, there were security cameras .

“Tsk . ”

Without any other choice, I picked up Evandel and got on Agusta . I slowly drove to a nearby alley .
Then, I added a setting .

===
□Portability
—By using Stigma’s magic power, it can transform into a suitcase .

[100 SP will be consumed . ]
===

Thanks to having Stigma’s magic power be a requirement, I only needed 100 SP for the modification . A vehicle was something I desperately needed for the next main story, and also the ‘work’ I planned on doing .
I hit save without hesitation .

“Let’s see…”

I tried imbuing Stigma’s magic power into the bike . The motorcycle then creaked and was dismantled . Then, it reassembled into a suitcase form .
I picked it up by the handle .
It was heavy . It had to be at least 20kg .
But well, with my strength, it wasn’t the least bit burdening .

“This is great . ”

Holding the suitcase in my hand, I muttered in satisfaction . Evandel stood on her hind legs and asked .

“Hajin, Hajin, where are we going next~?”

“Let’s go going next~?”

“Let’s go eat . How’s steak?”

“Steak?”

Oh right, she’s never eaten steak before .

“It’s really yummy . ”

“Yummy?”

“Yeah, but first… transform back into a human . I think it’s okay now . ”
 

Seoul Cheongdam-dong intersection .
Yoo Yeonha was walking down the street with her mother, Jin Yeojung, for the first time in a while .

“Take a good look . All this land will become yours in the future . ”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already thought about how to use it . ”

This cleanly arranged intersection was Jin Yeojung’s property .
She was one of Korea’s top real estate chaebols and an extraordinary businesswoman who invested her rich farmer father’s money to make billions of won . Not only did she own Essence of the Strait’s guild building, she also owned the buildings of Essence of the Strait’s businesses, like ‘Essential Armory’ and ‘Essential Insurance’ .
There was a reason why Yoo Jinwoong the Berserker was like a child in front of his wife .

“Yes, I believe you Yeonha . You’re not a kid like your father . ”

“Dad isn’t that bad . He’s gotten better lately… . ”

Yoo Yeonha suddenly stopped her sentence and sniffed the air . A delicious smell had entered her nose . She glanced at her mother, then slowly looked around the intersection .
In a nearby alley, there was a food stand selling spicy rice cakes, sundae, and tempura .

‘Ah, I know that place . It was even featured on a TV show for being delicious . I want to try it, I want to try it…’

“…Yeonha?”

At that moment, Jin Yeojung’s cold voice rang out . Startled, Yoo Yeonha turned back to her mother .
Jin Yeojung looked at the food stand Yoo Yeonha was looking at, and furrowed her brows .

“Yeonha, don’t tell me you haven’t quit yet . ”

“Yes? Ah, sssp, of course not . I’m not a child… ssp . I already graduated from that long time ago . ”

Yoo Yeonha shook her head nonchalantly .

“Then why are you drooling?”

“Yes? Ah~ my mouth has been dry lately . ”

Yoo Yeonha quickly averted her gaze elsewhere .
At that moment, her eyes widened .

“…Eh?”

She saw someone familiar .

“What are you talking about . We have many things to do today . We have to inspect the area and meet with the occupants . You’ll inherit this place, so you need to know what’s going on . ”

“Mother, there’s something I need to—”

“Quiet . Follow me . ”

Jin Yeojung snatched Yoo Yeonha’s wrist .

“Ah, Mom, really… Aaah… . ”

As Jin Yeojung lived a tough life of her own, Yoo Yeonha couldn’t win against her strength and was dragged away .
