Honestly, this was what I was most curious about because she said she actually died.

She made a dumbfounded expression as if she didn’t expect that to be my first question. But I just waited calmly for her answer because I was really curious.

And once she realized I was serious, she quietly opened her mouth.

“The last thing I remembered was cold fangs poking through my throat and my painful breathing. And when I next came, I saw Yuljung Kim’s face as he rebuked me for avoiding and trying to resist him.”

“Even though I expected that, it’s a bit disappointing.”

I really felt sorry about it.

Did I take what she said at face value?

Normally, I would not have believed what she said because she could be trying to trap me.

In fact, I have been the target of quite a few people just because I’m strong.

That was why I originally decided not to reveal my identity until I reached level 1200.

Of course, I had no choice but to reveal my identity a little earlier than planned because Smith’s party threatened not only the Myongjin Guild but also me.

Anyway, there was a reason why I decided I could trust her, and brought her here.

It was because of this encounter between us three days ago.

“How can I trust you?”

I asked Jihye Suh, who mentioned a fairly famous person named Yuljung Kim as her master.

She opened her mouth right away.

“Reveal limited skill!”

Limited skill: Stat Transfer.

-You can transfer stats from one person to another.

– In order to transfer the stats, both sides must agree.

-The person who agrees to transfer the stats loses them permanently, while the person who receives the stats permanently gains them.

: You can transfer up to 10 stat points per day.

“…”

I was a little perplexed.

She then said, “If you bring someone who is willing to permanently lose 10 stat points, I can transfer them immediately.”

Of course, 10 stat points could be either big or small, depending on one’s perspective.

To me, 10 stat points were a lot because it was the amount I received when I leveled up.

Moreover, the weight of each level increases tremendously at higher levels.

At that moment, Director Sok stepped forward suddenly and said, “I’ll do it.”

But I stopped him because he held a very important position within the Myongjin Guild.

But he insisted, saying, “Well, I can endure the loss of 10 stat points without any issue.”

Of course, there were as many as 200 people aside from Director Sok who had raised their reality actualization rate in the Myongjin Guild.

And maybe some of them would volunteer to give up their stats if I mentioned it, but there was a high possibility that they would be displeased about it and badmouth me later.

Anyway, when Director Sok, one of the top executives of Myongjin, took the initiative to volunteer, I reluctantly stood next to him in front of Jihye Suh.

Then she grabbed my hand and his hand at the same time

She spoke to him first.

“Do you agree to hand over 10 stat points to the other party?”

“Yes, I agree.”

As soon as he responded, she turned to me and asked, “Do you agree to receive the 10 stat points from the other party?”

“Yes, I agree.”

There were absolutely no falsehoods or double entendres in her words, so I agreed without hesitating.

At that moment a message rang.

You have received 10 stat points from the other party.

-Your Agility permanently increases by 10.

“…”

Of course, she opened her limited skill before my eyes. In other words, I knew from the beginning that she didn’t lie. But I couldn’t help but be speechless for a moment because I had never experienced such a thing before.

At that moment, Director Sok said, “I heard a message ring that said that I lost 10 agility stat points permanently.”

As soon as Director Sok said that, I said to her, “Let’s go to the Myongjin Shelter first.”

10 stat points per day?

It was 3650 stats in one year, and as it continued to accumulate, it would be a tremendous amount next year.

I took notice of that guy Yuljung Kim that she mentioned.

I felt like I knew why he resurrected her by killing as many as 1000 people.

To be honest, I would have done the same.

In particular, considering Kim’s position, there must have been a lot of people around him who would dedicate 10 stat points.

Jihye said, “I told you everything that I knew. Also I’ve told you about something that I had not even revealed to my master Yuljong Kim.”

“Of course, I know.”

Certainly what she told me was eye-popping. And I thought that’s why she kept it a secret from her master.

“The moment you, Juyoung Hong, revealed your identity without hiding it anymore, and the moment you showed your power fully, I came to the conclusion that the only person who could defend me to the end was you.”

I took note of her emphasis on “to the end.”

From the beginning she did not ask me to free her from Kim.

In other words, she actually wanted death

Her subordinate relationship with Kim was stronger than expected.

When her master Kim dies, she would have no choice but to die because she was his subordinate. Of course, he still needed 1000 people as a sacrifice to resurrect her.

Moreover, the secret that she mentioned was hidden in the limited skill ‘Stat Transfer’, which she only partially revealed.

Limited skill: Stat Transfer.

-You can transfer all your current stats to the other party.

However, your limited skill ‘Stat Transfer’ will be deleted immediately after you use it.

She revealed to me what she hadn’t shared with Yuljong Kim, her master, saying she decided to reveal it to me in return for helping her find the freedom to die on her own terms.

“I definitely want to die, but there are numerous people under Kim’s control who are just getting by in a hellish situation on false hope for the sake of their families. Please help them, too.”

“Really? I don’t know if you know this, but I have never taken the initiative to attack anyone first. In other words, not only will it be controversial if I attacked somebody first, but also lots of people will begin to complain about me. Especially if my target is Kim, your master and the leader of North Korea. It will be an unprecedented controversy.”

She remained silent for a moment at my words.

Then she softly opened her mouth.

“That’s why I came to see you, Juyoung Hong.”
