The World Turned into a Game After I Woke up Chapter 180

Chapter 180
Translator: HunterW Editor: RED I slowly walked down Guryong Mountain to think about what had just happened . "Okay, let's be positive about this . The best part of today is that Mana Conversion is now level 3 . It's not like it's easy to level skills anyway . " What's done was done . There was no use crying about it anymore . Besides, getting a skill past its max level was better than learning a new skill any day . "I'm more worried about that voice . " I know I heard it, and I know it said it was pissed . I even heard it after learning Listen . At first, I didn't want to think that I was able to hear that voice because of Listen, but there was no other explanation . "Hmm…I have the ability to Listen…that description is just way too simple . " I would have preferred if it said what I could Listen to, like animal noises or what people are really thinking or something like that . But no, I could just Listen now . I would have also tried to find its source, but I only heard it once . "Screw it . Thinking about it isn't going to give me an answer . Blink 1 . Blink 2 . " I decided that getting Mana Conversion to level 3 was a good enough payment for helping the Shire Guild . "Let's just go home and rest . " It had already been two months since I left my new home . My mother had been beginning to nag as well, wondering when I was going to come back home . ------ The newly built base by the Sunbin Guild's headquarters… "Well, well . The young master's come back home . " As I drew closer to the main building's entrance, two elderly men who were playing baduk [Korean word for go] on the porch stood up to greet me . They had come along with my grandfather . "Please, you don't have to do that . Think of the time we're in . You don't need to be calling me young master every time you see me . " "Hahaha . We call you young master, especially because of the time we're in . " " . . . " I didn't say anything back . He was right . This was an era where only strong people could exist . This was an era of warriors, mages, and guilds and an era where the strong fed on the weak . I had completely forgotten about that . "Hah . I suppose you're right . " "That's right . That's the reality we live in now, young master," the elder man said, still smiling . From that I could tell that he was happy he was in a place where he could comfortably call me his young master . My mother and grandfather sometimes called me that, too . I had been getting the royal treatment from the Sunbin, Myth, and Ravi Guilds, and the Werewolf Clan when I had helped them, and had been getting more respect these days . I was sure that this elderly man was getting some of that too, solely for the reason that he was under my influence . I never thought I would ever have my own followers in the past, and didn't expect it to happen when I had come back to the past . "Go on in, young master . " "Thanks . " I entered my home . Everyone inside bowed as I walked past, calling me young master as well, and I let them . It's what they wanted, I guess . "Jiwon!" "Oh! Hi, mom!" "You don't ever come back home when you leave! You really ought to call home more often . " "I've…been busy . " "Have you eaten yet?" "Me? Not yet . " "Okay . Wash up and get ready for supper . " "I will . " I watched my mother's small back as she went back to the kitchen . She was wearing better clothes now and had put on some weight, but I didn't get why she seemed so small . -Am I just bigger?- ------ I washed up, ate the hearty meal my mother made and went to my room to rest . Later, Song Haechang heard that I had returned and came over for a cup of tea . He really did change a lot . It should have been awkward for him after what we've been through, but he didn't avoid the issue . Rather, he laughed it off . "Man, I really was foolish then . I should have at least dragged in the entire Sunbin Guild and kidnapped you . I don't know why I had a bunch of alley rats do it . Geez…" "Aha…" I wasn't sure if he was joking or was being serious . ------ That night, I met with my grandfather . I took out 200,000,000 golden rings . The Shire Guild had paid it to me during the party after the Dark Caster raid, saying that I had done so much more that the Random Skill Chest just wasn't enough . I was polite enough to turn them down a couple of times, but took it nonetheless . The Shire Guild was rich enough, anyway . "What's this for?" "Just because . I'm sure it isn't cheap looking after three hundred people . " Only a hundred of the three hundred people who followed my grandfather out of the Sojung Guild were devas . That was still a lot for a small guild like Sojung . I didn't expect them to be elites that I could rely on . No, the most they could be were weights that would hold me down, but they were still my comrades, one way or another . Whether they were devas or mortals, if they were going to stand with me, they would have the best life here . "I don't need it . " "I'm making a lot of money now . " "Hahaha . Did you think I left the Sojung Guild empty-handed?" "What?" "I raised Sojung for forty years, before and after Otadolon . I mean, I did spend the last few years as an old fart . Either way, it's only right that I take everything that's mine . " I could see from how my grandfather was laughing that there was nothing better than the wisdom that came with age . "So don't worry about us and spend it however you like . " "But still…" "Jiwon . You don't need to worry that your family has grown by three hundred . You also don't need to worry about what you need to do for them . " " . . . " "You're already doing enough . Everyone who has followed me, no, who is now calling you young master, is already satisfied with their life now . " I knew what he meant . More and more of our mortals were becoming devas every day and they all got to hunt in the mid-grade dungeon in Jeju Island, thanks to the Sunbin Guild . They definitely had a better, special life than when they were with Sojung . Were any of them embarrassed that they were living a privileged life, or pitying those that didn't have this life? I doubt it . That was the world we lived in, after all . My grandfather was right; I didn't have an obligation to make anything easier for them . I wasn't a hero, nor was I planning to become one . --- Three days later… "Jiwon . Call at least once a week, okay?" "Okay, I will . " I had rested enough and ate well the past few days . It was time to get moving again . "Come back soon, young master . " "Good luck out there, young master!" About a hundred others had come out to see me go . "Haha . Thanks, everyone!" I left my base and headed for the nearby Sunbin Guild headquarters . I was planning on heading to Siberia next, to the high-grade dungeon the Sunbin Guild controlled . "Welcome back . " Song Haechang greeted me outside the building . He had asked why I hadn't gone there yet when it was the easiest dungeon to go to when he stopped by three days ago . "Thanks . " I shook his hand . "Let's go . " I followed him down to the basement where Sunbin had their Teleporters . It was one of the most important rooms in the building and there were many guards guarding the path, but no one stopped us . Then again, they all probably knew Song Haechang's face by now . Soon, we came to the room where the Sunbin had seven Teleporters . "This third one over here is connected to the Teleporter in Siberia . " I got up on the Teleporter with Song Haechang . "Warp . " ------ The Sakha Republic, Siberia; also known as Yakutia… Khandyga, three hundred kilometers away from the capital city of Yakutsk… "It's cold here . " "Well, it is one of the coldest regions in Siberia . " A biting, cold gust of wind and heavy snowfall greeted us when we got off the Teleporter . There were quite a few large buildings around us . Around those buildings was a giant ice wall forming a massive circle . "The dungeon here is called the Iceman Dungeon . But, more than that, there are also a lot of Ice Trolls around here, so it's a good idea to stay on guard at all times . " "I see . " I followed Song Haechang out of the Teleporter zone . "I know I'm an Ice Mage, now so the cold doesn't bother me, but I noticed that you don't seem affected by it, either . " "Well… I'm stronger than I look . " All I had on was a light jacket . A normal person would be shivering to the bone and would barely be able to take a step forward, but with my body, my Stats was just too great to be bothered by the cold . I followed Song Haechang to the dungeon's entrance, where I could see a lot of Sunbin Guild members were gathered . All of them exuded confidence . "Inside the dungeon are, well, Icemen, monsters that are made of ice in the form of humans . " I had never heard of these types of monsters in the past before . "Wait, what?" Song Haechang was an Ice Mage . There was no way he could hunt here . "Hahaha . That's right . Ice Mages can't hunt here . We can't inflict a single point of damage against them . We might as well be their healers, instead . " Casting Ice Magic on Ice-type monsters would only serve to make them bigger . "Trying to break ice with ice is just impossible, after all . " "Then why did you come here with me?" "I wanted to see the strength of the man who suggested I change my future . Oh, I'm not saying I don't think your strength is real . I just wanted to see for myself for once," Song Haechang said, looking straight into my eyes . I held his gaze and replied, "I'll make sure you see the full extent . " I know I was being nosy back then, and I didn't regret it, even now . -If he wants peace of mind, I'll make sure he has it . - I walked alongside Song Haechang and entered the Iceman Dungeon, where I saw the blocks of pointy ice in the shape of humans . "Obviously, they are weak to Fire Attribute . Their attacks also have the Frostbite effect, so if you're not careful, you can become frozen . If you don't have anyone with you who can cure you of Frostbite, you can actually die here," Song Haechang said when he saw the Icemen . "Mana Conversion – Fire . Warrior's Brave Spirit . Howl of the Wolf . " I didn't say anything back to him and got ready for battle . Showing him first hand was better than explaining, after all . I was itching to finally see what Mana Conversion level 3 could do as well . ==[Mana Converion – Fire Level 3 has been activated . Increase ATT by 45% . Successful attacks have a 30% chance of inflicting Burn . Increase damage of all Fire-based attacks by 15,000-75,000 . This skill has no cooldown . ]== ==[Warrior's Brave Spirit Level 1 has been activated . ]== ==[Howl of the Wolf has been activated . ]== That ended my battle preparations . I did have Spear Mastery and Increase CRIT Rate, but they were passive skills and I would experience their value in the heart of battle . "Judge's Gavel . " I turned to face Song Haechang . "This is my power that is responsible for your new future . " I turned away and charged in at the nearest horde of Icemen, targeting the closest one to me . In one blow, the three meter tall Iceman broke to pieces, dying . "Fissure!" I yelled out and slammed my spear into the ground . The ground rumbled and cracked . [Block it . Ice Shield!] [Ice Shield!] A couple Icemen summoned shields of ice, but it was in vain, they all shattered instantly . The 100% extra damage Fissure did on top of its base damage was enough against these high-grade dungeon monsters . There were still some left standing, however . It wasn't strong enough to take them all out at once yet, but at least it did enough damage . I charged at the remaining Icemen and slashed at them with my spear . Each attack was met with a resounding crack, rather than the soft thud I was used to . [Ice Arrow!] [Ice Field!] Despite the Icemen's attacks, I attacked the horde relentlessly . --- Three minutes later, I had cleared the area of all twenty Icemen . I did manage to take some damage . No matter how good I was, it was just impossible for me to avoid or deflect every single attack that came my way . Regardless, I had barely lost a single tick in my HP bar . I walked over to Song Haechang who was standing off to the side in a corner . "Hmm… I wonder if that's enough to justify butting in to your life . " "…It's more than enough . " Song Haechang stayed silent for a moment before replying with a small smile . He then took out a small piece of paper . "I did want to stay a little while longer and watch some more, but watching you made me itch for some action of my own . I have a long way to go to at least get close enough, don't I? This paper notes all of the locations of Sunbin's FOBs in this dungeon . " The piece of paper noted all the FOBs on each of the seven floors . The Myth Guild and the Werewolf Clan had their own high-grade dungeons, but neither of them had FOBs on each floor . This was enough to show just how much stronger the Sunbin Guild was . ------ Seven days had passed since I started hunting in the Iceman Dungeon . I had hunted nonstop since Song Haechang left . "Ha…that's enough for today . Store . " I Stored the drops from the Icemen I had just killed and headed for the FOB on the third floor . On the way there, I ran into someone . This dungeon was exclusively run by the Sunbin Guild, and only Sunbin Guild members were allowed in here . But this person was Japanese . Most Westerners couldn't tell Oriental Asians apart, but we could, to some extent . There were some devas of Japanese origin in the Sunbin Guild . The guild even had Americans and Europeans in their ranks . But my gut told me that this person was not a Sunbin Guild member . No Sunbin member could come to the third floor alone . "Who are you?" I asked, bluntly . "You've got good instincts . Man, it was hard getting here without getting caught by Sunbin . It took an entire week of hard work, you know . Why did you have to come all the way here and not where you always went to?" "That wasn't my question . " "Give me a break, will ya? It's been a long week for me . " I gripped my spear . "Judge's Gavel . Blink 1 . " If he wasn't going to tell me now, I was fine with finding out why he was here later . If he really wanted to talk, he could come back anytime .
