{Special Stamina Potion LVL 2: Recovers 22% of max HP over 13 seconds.}
So far, nothing different from before. However, the moment I put my eyes on the stamina potion.
{Stamina Potion: A potion that recovers the user’s physical strength.}
A simple explanation came like this.
“It didn’t come out like this in the first place.”
The system that hunters commonly see is inconvenient. You can see your own stats, characteristics, skills, etc., but there is no way to know exactly what kind of effect it is. So, when a newly awakened Hunter acquired a skill, it was a daily routine to go into a dungeon with low difficulty and practice. Also, even after obtaining an artifact, the status window was not visible, so I had to try it on and figure out the options. In the case of Ji-ha, I was able to see relatively detailed effects and options, but I was still blind to the meaning of the word itself.
‘For example, something like a super sense……’
It can be roughly thought of as an excellent sense, but the exact effect can only be known by someone who has acquired the skill using it. But now it was different. When I focus on the super sense, a message comes to mind.
{Super Sense LVL 1: Increases all senses and reflexes of the caster by 20% for 30 minutes.}
“The time is roughly right, and I’ve never seen the figure of 20%.”
Since the characteristics and skills of hunters are very important, various organizations have studied them, but it was not easy to calculate accurate figures. This is because the caster is a human, so it varies depending on the individual’s feelings. Ji-ha took out a dimensional pouch from his backpack.
{Dimensional Pouch: You can store things without damaging them. It also applies when entering another dimension.}
“Aha.”
It also includes a feature that prevents things from spoiling. For some reason, things like fruit didn’t go bad. Ji-ha scratched his head and took out the Ether Stone and the seal of Estram Kingdom.
{Ether Stone: A fragment of the World Stone. It emits Ether semi-permanently.}
‘World Stone? Is it a huge stone?’
The word World Stone did not appear in any ancient books. It must be an incredibly large stone similar to the World Tree. If the World Tree is responsible for Gehenna’s ecosystem, it seems that the world stone supplies energy. And the charismatic characteristics of the ruler of the royal sword.
{The Ruler’s Charisma: Follow the people around you naturally. If the resistance is high, it will not have an effect.}
‘Hmm……’
In a way, it seems like brainwashing, but most of the original artifacts are like this. By the way, if you can see the effects and options like this, I think it would be better to expose them.
‘Can’t I say that’s my characteristic?’
It probably didn’t matter because the people around him were mistaken that he already had the characteristics of frequent category 0 dungeons.
‘I’d rather write down the effect on the potion bottle.’
The moment the hunters know exactly the effect, the store will be empty.
‘Let’s limit it to three bottles per person.’
Ji-ha made that decision and tore up the infinite magic book. You can make a great scroll, but it’s kind of hard to use it only for comments, but it’s infinite.
‘99,100.’
The torn paper was cut with scissors and the explanation was written with a feather pen.
*Scratch scratch*
Since it is not a rune word, the sentence itself does not have any power. However, Ji-ha’s letters were as pretty as if they were put in a printing press and turned. As I wrote it, I was amazed at how beautiful the handwriting was.
‘This is enough.’
After attaching the description of the effect to each potion bottle, Beom cried out that he was hungry. When I gave him expensive chicken, he ate it all up.
‘It costs a lot of money, but it’s okay because he is cute.’
These days, the number of customers who come to the store to see Beom has increased considerably. He went out to the side of the road and was grooming his fur, and when female hunters came to pet him saying that he was cute, he came into the store. Then the hunter who came in unexpectedly buys something.
‘He’s a total tout.’
there would be dozens of potions sold like that. Beom was paying enough for the meal.
‘I can sell more as well.’
Ji-ha stretched and opened the store.
***
Maybe it’s because word of mouth spread among the hunters, quite a few customers came in the morning. One of them looked at the description written on the potion and said something strange.
“Mister, isn’t this too detailed? A paralyzing potion sure, but this.”
“Hmm… In what ways?”
“Paralysis resistance is not a stat in the first place. But I don’t think it can be expressed at 35% like this.”
“Try it yourself and if it doesn’t work, we’ll give you a refund.”
Having said this, the hunter grumbled, “Where is the person who will refund?”. Hunters are not good at making refunds. I just won’t use that store again. The Hunter who bought it like that hurriedly came into the store within a few hours.
“I want to buy all the paralysis potions.”
“One bottle of each type. Up to three bottles in total. As you can see, there are not many of them.”
The Hunter hesitated in front of the display stand.
“Um… I want to buy everything……”
“Was there any effect?”
When Ji-ha asked, he nodded eagerly.
“It is real. Do you know those desert wasps? Those who are stung are paralyzed. I didn’t know that the paralysis would go away so quickly. It was solved 70% faster than usual, which is very strange. How did you see and write it down?”
“Because I see an explanation.”
The Hunter, who had a look on his face, took out a bottle of potion from his belt and showed it.
“This is a cold resistance potion that I bought at a high price from the Witch’s Cauldron. Can you appraise it?”
“It says that it increases cold resistance by 10% for 20 minutes.”
“OMG. So what about this?”
He drew the sword from his back and held it forward.
“It is written as a longsword of the Knights. Increases Strength and Endurance by 5, Agility by 3, and Swordsmanship attribute is plussed. Above all, the skill called the Oath of the Knights……”
As he recited the specifications of the sword, he widened his eyes. How the hell do you know the specifications of an artifact that no one knows until you wear it? Did you get any new traits?
“Um, by any chance, what is the effect of the skill called Oath of the Knights……”
Judging by the way he stammered out his words, it seemed that even though he had a sword, he didn’t see any effect. Ji-ha laughed and explained the effect of the skill.
“It is written that the Oath of the Knights skill increases the caster’s ATK by 7% for 5 minutes.”
“Ah. So… So that’s it… For some reason, if I switch to a different sword, the damage doesn’t work……”
He mumbled for a while, then tried to confirm everything about his characteristics and skills. When Ji-ha responded kindly, he seemed to be thrilled, took out a bunch of bills from his wallet and gave them to me.
“Thank you! Take all of this.”
“No, I……”
“I’ll go first! I’ll come back next time!”
It seems that the number of regulars has increased by one. At that moment, Beom jumped up, grabbed the bill and took it to the studio.
“You even collect money now.”
In the future, he might even respond to guests. Ji-ha sat down on the chair with a happy face and opened a book.
‘I must go to the meeting.’
People are arguing about why you’re not coming these days, so you have to show your face at least once in a while to avoid nagging. By the way, people came rushing in to see what the hunter said earlier.
“CEO! Can I really see the Artifact specs?”
Ji-ha could not read the book properly and explained the specifications. It seemed that the store would have to close late today.
***
Ancient books from dungeons are quite popular with many people. Once dropped, it is sold at a high price to hunters as well as scholars and enthusiasts from all walks of life. Since it is a book that contains stories from another world, there were people who delved deeply into the contents. The meeting Ji-ha was attending today was of that kind. Also known as the Reading Group. Old book enthusiasts gather and talk about a certain topic. Gehenna is also a fairly large continent, and the contents of ancient books vary widely, so they usually decide on a topic. Today’s topic was Estram Kingdom. Ji-ha opened the door to a small office. He smelled of books, and several people, including Hwang Seon-young, greeted him.
“I’m Ji-ha.”
“Come on.”
“I was going to come drag you out if you didn’t come out today.”
“Haha. My sister came early. Hello.”
Perhaps the reason Seon-young, who is more lazy than a sloth, came out so quickly was because she could read a new book. She began poking his side with her fingers as Ji-ha sat down next to her.
“Ouch, why?”
“Did you hear all the rumors? I heard you appraised the artifact?”
It is said that a horse without feet can travel a thousand miles, and it is just that. It hasn’t even been half a day since I did it, but when I wondered what this was about, a post on HunterNet came up. The people of the reading group were surprised and asked.
“Ji-ha, didn’t you say you had no skills or attributes?”
“I got lucky recently and got a few.”
“That’s interesting… it might come out in a few years.”
Seon-young prostrated herself on the desk like a sloth and looked up at Ji-ha.
“That’s an emotion skill, right? They say it happens sometimes in places like the US or China. How much did you earn today?”
“I didn’t get paid.”
The people were stunned.
“Oh my God, you didn’t get paid for appraising the artifact? Are you doing business by digging?”
“An angel. You are an angel.”
Ji-ha, who actually dug the ground in the garden, was surprised.
‘How did you know I was doing business by digging?’
In fact, Ji-ha’s potions and scrolls can be sold at high prices. Selling it like that and donating it to the Hunter Academy would be a good idea, but his nature couldn’t help it. Above all, I thought that the reason why the World Tree gave him various privileges was that he had a hidden intention to spread it widely.
‘Because rookie hunters don’t have money……’
“Now, it’s to be celebrated that Ji-ha got the skill, but we have to do our job. Today’s topic is Estram Kingdom.”
An emaciated man wearing glasses placed a thick old book on the desk. Since everyone can read the common language of the continent without difficulty, they recognized it as the Estram Chronicle.
“Speaking of Estram, it’s a small kingdom attached to the south of the Gemark Empire. I wonder what there is to see.”
“The population is small, but it seems to be around 5 million. Considering the number of people, tax revenue, and the size of the army.”
“It is said that the royal family vacated the palace during the great war against the monsters, and there is a record that people were dissatisfied because of it.”
Gam Yu-jeong, with long hair, said while turning over the bookshelf.
“The one I want to pay attention to is Prince Edinskal. It says he is really handsome. If you look at this page, there are only three pages describing the prince’s beauty.”
Everyone looked at the book and was bewildered. I wondered how handsome a man would be, but this describes a peerless handsome man. I flipped through the pages of Seon-yeong’s book.
“It is written that Prince Edinskal was the best knight in the Estram Kingdom, isn’t this too unfair? His looks, his strength, and his pedigree are outstanding.”
“It has to be at least that much to make it seem like the prince.”
Apparently, Yu-jeong Gam is a prince fanatic. Park Seon-hong, the organizer, pointed out a part of the book and said,
“This sentence. I don’t think it’s a continental language or a rune language, but does anyone understand it?”
“Ah, not one knows about this.”
“Even though linguists have studied so much, they don’t know what is what. In the first place, there are only a few sentences in the book, so it is not something to study.”
Even if you want to research, you need to have some data. The continental Common Language and Rune Language had some similarities, so it was easy to interpret, but this language was completely different in shape. But it’s strange. Why do you understand this? Ji-ha read aloud an unidentified sentence without realizing it.
“He who obtains Estram’s seal will rule the people.”
“……”
“Huh? Ji-ha, can you read this?”
“Ah, no way……”
People cast a suspicious glance. it’s a language no one knows, but Ji-ha figured it out? Seon-hong narrowed her eyes and said.
“Did you read anything?”
“No. I just read it because it looked like that.”
“Then, since you’ve seen it once, can you follow along? Would you like to try it?”
He is a pretty serious guy and hates pranks. Ji-ha took out a feather pen and the infinite magic book instead of an answer.
*Scratch scratch*
Everyone listened as they heard the pleasant sound of the pen tip moving across the thick paper. Gam Yu-jeong admired Ji-ha’s writing.
“You write very well. Has it always been like this?”
“It looks like some wizard is writing a scroll.”
When the sentence was completed, everyone put their heads together and compared it to the sentence in the old book.
“It’s the same. it’s the same.”
No matter how you look at it, it was the same, so Seon Hong had to admit that Ji-ha was right.
“How did you interpret this? A language no one knows.”
“I don’t know, but I just see it.”
“Isn’t that a characteristic too?”
‘Come to think of it, XXX turned into a World Tree.’
In a way, isn’t this also the effect of the blessing of the World Tree? When I later focused my gaze, a message popped up.
{Blessing of the World Tree LVL 2: All stats +5, All resistances +10, Ether given, 1.3x great success when producing, Ancient Language Interpretation}
‘It’s an ancient language interpretation effect.’
This solved the mystery. Seon-yeong shook Ji-ha’s shoulder.
“Ji-ha, I really like your handwriting. Wouldn’t you like to write a sentence for this older sister?”
“Which sentence?”
“Let me find the Black Lion Captain’s work log at the Wholesale Center today! What, this much?”
“Your wish is too specific.”
Ji-ha grumbled and wrote in an ancient language.
“Write it in runes as well. The handwriting is really pretty.”
When I wrote it in rune, strangely, the ancient magic rose to LVL 2 and the sentence glowed.
{Scroll of Creation: Hope your small wish will come true.}
‘Huh?’
A scroll of creation was created that a mortal should not touch.
In the second book…
