Seol-Hwi was staring at the phrase that appeared before his eyes.
After meeting the woman, he decided to let go of everything.
And as his vision brightened, he lost consciousness along with the light. When he regained his senses, he found himself in the same situation as before.
Is it really like a game?
It was not exactly known how it was. Actually, he did not really need to worry about that. It was not even relevant now.
What mattered was what he did now.
From this exact moment.
How long had he been waiting for this?
The choice to start from the beginning. If he thought about it, he had made choices a few times when he could not adapt to the system, but that was a choice he rarely took.
This was especially true after meeting Cheon Miryo’s master and being freed from the restrictions of the system. The choice now was to re-enter the system that he had been outside of.
Seol-Hwi made the choice without hesitation after looking at the window that informed him.
-The beginning of the incident.
Returning to the “Supreme Pavilion.”
He had been waiting for this… it was the moment of the final life.
Swish—
Darkness enveloped him.
Soon, the faint light grew larger and brightened the surroundings.
“…”
It looked familiar. It was a place from his memory. But it was also unfamiliar at the same time.
After dozens, hundreds, maybe even a thousand years. It was the training room of the Demonic Sect.
Back to where it all began.
“Phew…”
Seol-Hwi sat there in silence.
A moment in the past when he was anxious and unsure, but now he no longer hated the situation.
No, he liked this.
Was it because it had been so long?
What happened back then?
Memories that have weathered over countless years, memories of the pain of teething—did that happen during this time? He could only faintly remember it.
“Yes, it was… that time.”
Seol-Hwi, who had been lost in emotion for a while, thought back to that time. There was no need to rush.
There was still time left until Jeok Myung came to start kicking and throwing punches at him.
Until then, no one would interfere. Now that he thought about it, for those just starting out, the system may have granted them time.
“Then… should I open it?”
Seol-Hwi checked the toolbox first.
The necessary items had already been prepared a long time ago, so work could start immediately.
“…”
Seol-Hwi carefully inspected the pills that were safely contained.
When he looked at the contents of the toolbox for the first time in dozens, maybe hundreds of years, he was filled with new emotions.
Checking the Absolute Pill in the toolbox, one by one, Seol-Hwi used them.
The times when he was busy collecting items came to his mind.
Perhaps because he thought it was his last life, countless emotions that never existed before came to him. And before he knew it, he had let go of every inch of it.
“Enough now. There’s no need to drag it out any longer.”
After a couple of breaths, phew.
Seol-Hwi pressed all four of the pills in there.
Although it had been a long time since he used it, his body remembered how to use the toolbox.
…
For quite a long time, it was work that had been prepared step by step.
In his last life, he had been constantly researching whether there was a way to achieve instant elevation. The answer was the start.
A life in which he started out as a third-rate warrior with no name or ability.
That was finally changing now. With the absolute state.
Perhaps there was no easier way to change the future than this.
“Now there is no point in further training.”
He had learned countless ways to make things and train, to overcome limitations.
From now on, it was a race against time.
He would have to overcome obstacles and fight enemies. He would have to grow up instantly.
A man who calls himself the absolute.
One has to rise up in an instant to catch his eye…
By the time he realized it, he will no longer be able to stop him.
To achieve this, he lived a hundred lives and collected pills that could not be obtained through normal means.
And now, touching all of them at once meant a great start.
The energy and blood in his body were vibrating. For an average person, this amount of energy filled with Yin and Yang could not be taken at once. If one had it, they would be affected by it before the energy was absorbed.
This was a technique which no one had ever tried or thought of.
But Seol-Hwi was different.
The cultivation techniques of the Demonic Sect and the Justice faction, which he had learned so far, would allow him to mix all the energies.
An absolute realm such as Supreme Demon would be a primary defense technique, and the Profound Demon or Profound Master would be a secondary defense shield.
Time was just a moment.
Even if it was long, the goal was to transform it into a state within Profound Master or higher.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
“Phew… indeed…”
Seol-Hwi curled his lips as he felt the weakness starting to boil in his body.
All of them were rare pills. The Yin and Yang energy had reached the peak for the past hundreds of years.
Things he held on to.
No matter how skilled he was, he was not holding one, but four energies. One would think controlling them was impossible. And Seol-Hwi did nit have experience using it, just a variety of situations which he had tried to handle them theoretically.
This is a gamble… but… it seems possible.
But Seol-Hwi’s heart did not waver at all.
Regardless of whether it could be done or not, this was the result of a hundred lives. He concluded that there was no other way.
In the first life, he overcame the limitations with a rare pill and became a warrior.
This was not just about bringing down the life.
This was because it was the only way to get inside the system and fool its eyes.
Bang!
H-here it is….
The dantian exploded as if it had been waiting, before it could be filled.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
The shock spread through the body, not just the dantian.
Seol-Hwi quickly sat cross-legged and began to control the energy. Having experienced this before, he was not shaken at all by the intense shock that struck the energy and blood.
Kwang!
Bang! Bang!
“…!”
The body swelled as if it would explode due to the different energies. No matter how many times his seated body was losing hope, he sat cross-legged and endured it.
How many times had he tasted death due to the clash of energies?
Compared to that time, the surge of energy in the body now, which did not even touch Peak Demon, was laughable.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
“A bit…expected?”
It was not that difficult to control the energy taking over the body. But there was something he had not imagined.
The explosion of energy brought about by the pill did not stop just once. It did not happen once but continued to happen over and over again.
He guessed it was four or five times at most, but there was no sign of it stopping.
Six to seven times, the explosion continued to happen.
Bang! Bang!
When it went past ten times, Seol-Hwi frowned. And then the 11th happened.
Kwaak!
What is this…
Was what Seol-Hwi thought. The explosions were not stopping. The clash of energies taking place in the dantian could not be imagined.
It was going beyond what was wanted.
It’s already reached the peak now…
He had progressed very far in the blink of an eye. And yet, the energy was not dying down; rather, it began to move, swirling.
Kwaaang!
Supreme!
He felt lost for a moment.
Seol-Hwi’s entire body felt hot. All of the clothes he was wearing were burning, and at this level, he would have reached Supreme Demon.
But the energy was not stopping. Seol-Hwi, who was barely able to hold on to the feeling slightly, felt dizzy and experienced another explosion.
Kwaah!
“…!”
There was a crack in the bowl.
He recalled the energy in it, or rather, he remembered all the realizations he had until then, and rushed the energy into this broken bowl, making it swirl.
Wheik…
“Auk!”
Seol-Hwi’s eyes were so big, like they would tear up.
There was this gut feeling, like he was touching Profound Demon.
And at that moment—
A failure or success?
He realized that the body was enveloped by energy so strong that the system could not even handle it.
Here, Seol-Hwi reached the Profound State at once. The balance. It was around that time that the microcosm of the upper dantian was created.
The air turned from light to heavy.
Seol-Hwi, who held on to the energy which was running around, finally came back to reality.
“Huk, what just happened…?”
Seol-Hwi glanced up and noticed oddness.
The toolbox floating in front of him had vanished.
Odd. He had never experienced this before. While he was frowning and thinking about what kind of situation this could be, something more happened.
“What is this…?”
His first time seeing this phrase. Not only was he not a player, but was he someone not in the system?
Also, Seol-Hwi was puzzled when he saw the content behind it.
Bug? And what does that word mean?
It was full of things he could not understand. After contemplating what this was for a while, Seol-Hwi developed a couple of theories.
“…Is it impossible to grasp the status of a person who has escaped from the murim or become a warrior through the system?”
That was a possibility. In fact, the system was created by the Absolute Being.
In other words, if the ability of the player was above the level of the Absolute, the system he made would not be able to handle it.
“Not bad for a first try.”
It was a more satisfying result than he had expected.
He stepped into the system, but the system could not respond. It was the best situation he could have imagined.
Tak
While naked, Seol-Hwi checked his body’s state.
There were unexpected circumstances, but thanks to them, he achieved everything he set out to do.
In a short period of time, he rose to the level of obtaining Profound Demon.
The situation was completely different from the past.
“Well, it is a bit flustering…”
Although no one was watching, Seol-Hwi felt uncomfortable seeing himself naked.
He took out a bunch of clothes from the chests around him, which were broken, and picked them up as he left the training room.
Before people noticed him.
“Then, shall we go check out the Supreme Pavilion…”
Of course, no important person would be missed now. Although he did kill in the past.
The source of hate had accumulated.
The one who bothered him the most in the system.
Now, he was waiting to meet that person.
Of course, the positions would be different now…
