Solo Clear Chapter 17

"Hey, who put the 38th clan on the report?"

Among the papers strewn across the table, one of the managers picked up the report and asked in an annoyed tone.

They could not see every clan and did not need to see them either.

They had planned to hold a meeting by discussing the clans that were in the top 30.

"It's me."

A new manager with the number 13 on their chest carefully raised their hands.

"Didn't you hear the announcement earlier? It was said that they would only take on clans that were within the top 30."

"A new manager should suppress their opinions as much as possible. You need to watch, learn and gain experience from your seniors before giving your opinion."

It had only been two months since the eighth manager started work, but they were irritated by how the new manager expressed their opinion without fear of their seniors.

Excluding the eighth manager, the others experienced the same situation for many years.

Taking the attitude of the 13th manager as a mutiny was not too difficult.

"Let's listen to them instead of being angry about it. If the clan was in 38th place, then they were not far from the boundary line."

The relaxed seventh manager had a smile on their face as if they were happy with the 13th manager's attitude.

The 7th manager believes that provoked like this is necessary because they have a system where they will only work hard in the work given to them.

"Then before we start discussing the main topic, it may be best to listen to the new manager."

The 1st manager sitting in front of the table spoke up.

Out of all the managers, he was ranked the highest, so when he spoke, the room became silent.

As the others spoke, the 13th manager was intimidated, but in front of the first manager, they ended up swallowing because of the nervousness they felt.

"The 38th clan name is My Way. This clan consists of one member."

Being the 38th place was quite high, but on top of that, the clan only had one member, so other managers started to get interested.

Since everyone had different personalities, some wanted to stand out, some wanted to make a different clan from other clans, but no matter the reason, there were clans that only had one member.

However, there were only couples who showed outstanding results.

Just from seeing the results, the My Way clan was unique.

The higher ranked clans moved with at least 10 members.

"What is Kang Jin Woo's personal ranking?"

"10."

Upon hearing his ranking, the managers were shocked.

Honestly, it's safe to say that Kang Jin Woo was in the first place.

"And he happened to be placed in the grave for the second stage. Of all the locations in the second stage, the graveyard was the strangest."

They all agreed.

"Because you mentioned the stage, the Skeleton Warrior who was in front of the destruction was killed by Kang Jin Woo alone."

"You mean those two soldiers?"

Monsters called soldiers were monsters in the second stage that were one level stronger.

They would walk through the forest, inspect the area and kill any survivors they found.

Despite the fact that their teammates had not returned for days, they did not decide to go looking for them and instead, locked the gates of their fortress.

The entrance to destruction did not open and just like that, many years had passed.

And suddenly, a survivor managed to kill those guards, which caused the other managers to remain silent.

"Their stats are pretty high, but still, it's a little."

To understand the situation, a manager spoke and expressed their opinion, but no matter how they thought about it, it was a level they could not understand.

"He may be the first survivor to enter the ruins .. let's keep watching these survivors."

Kang Jin Woo's name was deeply engraved in the managers' minds because of this event.

Power: 37 (+6) Stamina: 39 (+7) Agility: 40 (+5) Mana: 28 (+6) Luck: 24 (+3)

Great are the skill points I improved thanks to the fight with the skeleton, but losing my left arm is a painful mistake.

It's because I have to get used to having one hand.

"3 hours, 35 minutes, and 30 seconds left until the next attack."

The first attack was getting closer and closer.

The defense of the fort was stronger when compared to the defense I first saw.

When I arrived without My left arm, No. 1 and No. 2 seemed too surprised even to speak to Me.

As an owner, I feel bad so I want to stop them, but

It might really insult their loyalty, so I decided not to pay attention to anything.

"How's your arm?"

Looks like the 30,000 Geny worth of fuel I used ran out, because No 1 stopped what they were doing and approached Me.

"I saw."

I thought I gave a pretty positive answer, but No. 1 weakly looked down.

"Seeing."

To allay their worries, I tried to show you a little trick.

Using the overflowing mana, I created a shield that replaced my left arm.

Mana Shield F Rating.

It was an active skill that created a shield with my MP.

After finishing the fight with the skeletons, I visited the shop and sold the items that fell. I managed to get 70,000 Geny.

I thought about how I should use it, but I decided to learn a skill that would replace the shield on My left arm.

And that's why I chose Mana Shield.

After seeing it sell for 50,000 Geny in the store, I immediately bought it.

I was quite satisfied with the fact that it could charge for My attack and defense because it was less than Me.

When I made a small shield with mana, No. 1 began to tremble as if they had been looking silly.

"How did you do it?"

"… Hm?"

I heard No. 1's voice heard while talking, which was not a robot at all.

Is that ridiculous?

Just when I sighed at myself and thought I needed to improve more.

"It usually can't be that way."

No. 2 finish their work and join in the conversation.

"Is that so?"

"Mana Shield usually appeared only as a wall when ordinary people used it. It's not easy to make a shield shape, which you just did. It was probably after months of training."

After hearing No. 2, I really cannot understand it.

I only use the skill by imagining it.

And then a shield appeared.

"In addition, the Mana Enhancement skill the master possessed was an extremely rare skill. It's hard to learn even if you want to."

"I .. I understand."

I decided to gather the information No. gave. 2.

In the guidebook, it is said that even if one's mana increases, managing and controlling it is a completely different skill.

To master it, years of training are required.

I think it's exaggerating.

After seeing the expressions No. 1 and No. 2, it seemed like the information written on the book was not a lie.

In the end, it meant I had skills, so it didn't put me in a bad mood, but.

"The Genius Magic Knight. You are great !!"

"Ahem."

Number 1 and No. 2 stand tall.

"Now, what is this?"

I took out the Red Skull Red Eye from my inventory.

Of all the things dropped from yesterday, this is the only thing I can eat.

Unlike its name, it looked like a stone shrouded in red light and not an eye.

Chomp.

If in the end I have to eat it, then it is best to eat it while I am not disgusted by it.

As soon as I chewed it, it made an explosive sound and the juice started flowing out of it.

Ackkkk !!

It was the first time I felt something like this and it made me vomit.

The texture feels like chewing rubber and gives off an unpleasant smell that feels like eating rotten intestines.

It feels so bad that I'm confused if this is really edible.

"Where has it increased by five points."

Where: 33 (+5)

I thought it was worth bearing after seeing where I'm rising, so I decided to let it slide.

After I ate it, I gargled a few times with water and in the end, it seemed like most of the smell was gone.

"It doesn't look good !!"

"It increases mana, so it's okay."

It feels disgusting, but if it increases the point where I just from eating it, I will happily eat a few more to increase it.

"This is my personal opinion, but once you complete this stage and you meet the survivors, your popularity will definitely increase !!"

Number 1 said it happily.

"I wish so."

I don't really care, but since No. 1 really likes it, I don't talk much.

"It would be nice if you rest for a while. I don't have any Geny I can give you."

"Oh, it's okay."

"Then, we'll rest until you call us again."

No. 1 and No. 2 went to the store and like electronic devices, they stopped moving as if their electricity was turned off.

"There are three hours, zero minutes and 30 seconds left until the next attack."

It was time for me to prepare by checking the condition of the canons, the watchtowers, and the items that were effective against the undead.

Whatever it is, it won't be easy and if I have to choose, I'd rather have an increase in numbers.

"No, maybe it doesn't matter."

As if my body was filled with excitement, I couldn't stop laughing for some reason even though I knew the enemy was about to attack.

If it was an ordinary person, they would probably not dare to take the sword again.

Waiting is also exhausting.

The emotions I feel here are emotions I may never have felt in my 21 years of life.

Struggle is my driving force and it helps me stay sane.

And the announced time finally arrived.

"The Undead attack has begun. Protect the fortress from the enemy."
