Players Who Returned 10,000 Years Later

Chapter 36: The Chosen One (Part 1)

— I'm sorry for what happened today. Yeon Ho will leave the guild and we will talk to the other members so that it does not happen again, — Chae Young-ju said with a serious expression and tilted her head.

He had offered Kang Yu support, but his subordinates did not even listen to his orders. Of course, he felt humiliated.

— Well, I got the equipment I wanted, so it's okay. – Kang Yu raised the armor in his hand.

Looking down, he read the basic information.

...[.Informations]...

Name: Power Armor

Type: Unique

Effect: Resistance to physical damage +200, Resistance to magic damage +80.

Special feature: Increases resistance to physical attacks twice for 10 seconds (can be used once a day).

'As expected of high-end equipment.' He had to use three epic items to the same effect, but now he only needed to wear one armor.

"It's not a bad feature either." Kang Yu thought it could be used with the Power of Darkness to achieve such an incredible result.

She turns to Young-ju and speaks in a calm tone:

— However, if it happens again next time, I have to rethink our 'friendship'. —He has already got the high-end item he wants, he said, so he thought it was appropriate to leave a comment like this right now.

What just happened was a total failure on Young-ju's side, as the guild head. His subordinates ignored his orders.

Kang Yu agrees to help them in the future, but Yeon Ho, ignoring their alliance, belittles and behaves negatively towards her from the start.

'Although I can understand why he's acting that way.'

Kang Yu, who was more like a demon than a human, was extremely vulnerable to desires.

That includes knowing what his opponent wants and how much they want.

'He seemed to be blinded by the feeling of love.'

'Blind by love' seems like a trivial phrase, but it perfectly describes the current situation.

— Sorry, no reason for his behavior. – Young Ju took a deep breath and apologized again.

Actually it wasn't because of Yeon Ho's behavior that he was acting like this.

It was because of the Strength Kang Yu had shown in the battle with Yeon Ho.

The person who became a Player two weeks ago fought and defeated the 7th ranked Player. That was more than enough to change his attitude.

Kang Yu's status had changed from a Player who had a good relationship with him would be 'good' to a Player who would be 'perfect' if he had a good relationship.

Despite his passionate nature, he was unable to speak to her in such an impolite manner anymore.

— Then we will meet again. – Kang Yu waves at him and turns to leave.

Left alone, he continued to stare at Kang Yu's back in the distance.

— Ah... — He took a deep breath.

'Is he really human?'

It was no longer a question of whether he had talent or not.

It was clear that he had strength that was beyond comprehension.

'Now I'm not sure I can beat him again.' At this level of development, it was no wonder that he caught up with her immediately.

He might become a monster in the future that no one could stop, so he had to think about the future now.

— There may indeed be a World Ranker in Korea.

World Ranker is the name for the eight strongest players in the world.

So far, no Korean player has been able to reach the top.

There were rumors that Baek Kang Hyun, who placed first in Korea, had a good chance of becoming one of them, but in the end, he was unable to become a World Ranker.

'But in Kang Yu's case…'

If he continued to develop himself at the same speed, it would not be difficult for him to obtain a place in World Rankers.

Park Hyun Woo comes to Young-ju, who is thinking hard.

— Commander, is Kang Yu gone?

— Ah, yes, just now.

— I heard about what happened with Yeon Ho…

— I'm thinking of collecting Commission and suspending Yeon Ho.

Hyun Woo said nothing.

— Don't be too surprised. He made a mistake.

- I understand. – The man smiles sadly and nods his head. — There is something to say. —

- What?

— The government has successfully introduced a spy to the Demon Master. If it goes well, they will be able to catch the tail.

When she heard Hyun Woo's words, her eyes sparkled with interest.

— Tell me more about it.

***

— Let's see.. — After parting with Young-ju and going home, Kang Yu opens his status window.

[Status Window]

The player's name: Oh Kang Yu

Special Ability Rating 1: The Power of the Eater (Class: ???).

Special skills sealed.

Special Ability Rating 2: Extraordinary Hunger (Class: C)

Special Ability Rating 3: Thirsty Maryok (Class: A)

Special Ability Rating 4: Master of Magi (Class: A)

Power: 23

Resilience: 21

Physical ability: 20

Marion: 0

Magi: 53

Intellect: 11

Wisdom: 13

Effect of Equipment used:

Resistance to physical attack: 330

Resistance to magical attacks: 170

If one could see his status window, they would be shocked by such an unusual reading.

If he was an ordinary Player of the 4th rank, 30 units of Magi should not be possible. But Kang Yu has over 50.

'Other parameters are also quite high.' The most important indicator for him, of course, was Magi, but strength, endurance, and physical strength were no less important.

Of course, it was a waste of Magi when she used it to physically strengthen her body.

If other parameters could strengthen the body as much as Magi strengthened it, then she could use that Magi for more purposes.

'Intelligence and wisdom are of no use to me.'

Those were two parameters that were useless to Kang Yu from the start.

'It's a pity that I can't choose which parameters to raise.'

Each time he reached a higher level, the randomly selected parameters increased by a random number of units.

Kang Yu heard that after obtaining the 2nd rank, the system decided which parameters were necessary for the special ability to function better.

But in his case, it was just the opposite. Anything will increase except the Magi.

'I wonder if it is because I already have many Magi.' The system must assume that.

Now, at level 34, he already had so many Magi that he shouldn't have.

Considering the fact that it was getting harder to raise the parameters, it was quite understandable why the system did not give Magi an upgrade every time she leveled up.

'I guess it's because I passed level 30.' This would explain the slow rise of all parameters, including the Magi.

- It was a pity. — If Kang Yu had the chance, he would gladly invest exclusively on the rise of the Magi. —However, by defeating Hellhound, I completely exceeded my plan. —

Originally, he would only reach level 30, but thanks to killing the Hellhound alone, he rose to level 34 at once.

'If it continues like this, I will soon get a rank 5.'

Not to mention, by agreeing to the deal with the Red Rose, Kang Yu gained access to the higher gate.

Since he could pass through the Level B Gate and go hunting directly at the Level A Gate, the leveling process would go faster.

"I think I've got a little leeway."

The current situation was very different from when he first arrived on Earth, when he was unable to use his strength at all because he had no Magi.

In the battle with Yeon Ho, he realized that he had achieved incredible results in the Player World.

Or at least his strength had started to return to him.

Now that he had the chance, he decided he had to take care of Dae Su and Han Sol. Just as Young-ju did not incur the cost of investing in his development, he will try to do his best for Dae Su and Han Sol.

'He did the right thing by investing in the previous prospective players.'

Investing in talented Players from the beginning is beneficial for the future.

Talent and development opportunities become more valuable with the help of investors.

'Dae Su and Han Sol are also worth investing in.'

Of course, compared to Kang Yu, they were weak. But they were only weak compared to him.

Among normal Players, tanks with Class A special abilities and Class B support were considered talented.

Not to mention, they were friends with Kang Yu…

If he were to attempt to develop it at this moment, the chances of them betraying him in the future were extremely low.

'It's good to go hunting with them tomorrow.'

But it was not his plan to help them level up quickly. Instead, it will only prevent them from developing to the fullest.

It was most important for them to gain battle experience now.

As long as they fought on the battlefield, they could naturally develop their own skills.

- Time to go home.

Kang Yu returned home feeling satisfied, carrying his new armor on his shoulder.
