nIt took about an hour for Jinsung to reach Lv.10. Not because it took longer to hunt, but because there

nwere so many users and there were not enough foxes that it took a long time to find them.

nThe fact that everything was going so well was also a problem.

nHowever, Jinsung was not going to waste the time he had.

n“Should I raise the proficiency of my skills?”

nWhile hunting the ten foxes, he had re-learned a few of the passive skills he used to have before

nresetting his character.

nNow there were three skills on Ian’s skill list.

nAiming Weak Spot, Fatal Blow Reinforcement and Fast Firing.

n‘It would be useful to raise my proficiency… however, it’s not like I will become an archer again…’

nIt wasn’t a bad choice, however, there had to be a way to spend time more efficiently.

nThen, Ian came up with a good idea.

n‘Trumbon also has a training canter!’

nA training center would have martial art trainers so that users could train their battle skills. After

ntraining there for a certain amount of time, you could get some bonus stats, according to the time and

nthe way you trained.

nHowever, getting stats by training needed a tremendous amount of time and effort, so, mostly high-

nlevel players trained there because it was hard for them to raise their levels.

nIt was good for Ian to hunt monsters whose levels were higher of at least one level, hence, each stat

nwas precious to him.

nIan made up his mind and moved fast.

n‘Time is gold.’

nIan left the Hill of Kalimpus and quickly reached Trumbon. He easily found the training center as he

nalready knew its location since he had visited it for dozens of times before the resetting his character.

n“I would like to train at the training center.”

nHearing this, the NPC of the training center looked at him up and down.

n“It looks like you’re a beginner.”

n“I am.”

n“Your passion for training is very good, however, it is better for a beginner to choose a job and go on

nadventures to become strong faster.”

nThe NPC kindly gave Ian an advice on his ‘career’. However, that advice was only useful for ordinary

nusers.

n“I want to prepare more before going out into the world.”

nIan found the conversation with the NPC bothersome, but he still answered with a smile.

n‘It’s none of your business, just let me enter….’

nIf he spoke out loud what he was thinking, the friendship with the NPC would be thrown down the hill

nand that would be disadvantageous in Kailan.

n“Hmm, that makes sense. Okay, you can enter. Beginners can use the training center for free.”

n“Thank you.”

nIan entered the training center and grabbed a wooden sword.

n‘I don’t know yet what is the most important stat in playing the Summoner… so, I’ll just have to train

nhard!’

nIt literally was a stupid way to train yourself, however, that was also the best form of training currently

navailable to him.

nIan started to repeat the moves he had learned before resetting his character. This was the beginning

nof endless training.

n– Your physical strength has been increased through repeated training. Strength statistic goes up by 1.

n– Your flexibility has been increased through repeated training. Speed statistic goes up by 1.

n‘After endlessly swinging my sword, I was able to raise my Strength and speed…’

n– You have endured damage close to your limits. Stamina statistic goes up by 1.

n– You gained wisdom through a long meditation session. Intelligence statistic goes up by 1.

nIan raised his strength by getting beaten up by trainers of the center and raised his intelligence

nstatistic through meditation.

nIan kept doing stupid training that he would never do unless he had plenty of time.

nThe NPCs who watched him were marveled by him.

n“He is an adventurer who wants to gain true strength!”

n“I have never seen such a determined trainee!”

nIan’s was truly obsessed. With each stat he got, he felt even more power surging from the depth of his

nbody.

nIan continued to train like that to meet the requirements he had set.

nAnd finally, the day of the grand update arrived.

n…

nWhile Ian was in deep meditation at the center, he heard a system message and soon opened his

neyes.

n-You gained wisdom through a long meditation session. Intelligence statistic goes up by 1.

nHe checked the time.

n‘Four hours till the server maintenance.’

nIan stood up. Four hours wasn’t enough time to raise his stat by 1 through training. The more he

ntrained, the longer time needed to raise each stat.

n‘The update would take 6 hours, so, I have 10 hours until server opens again after the update.’

nIan started to plan.

n‘I should log out and do some grocery shopping. I should also drop by the bank and pay the bills.

nThen I must call my parents… finally, I’ll be able to sleep well for about 8 hours.’

nDistributing energy and time was necessary to play for long and efficiently.

nIan got out of the training center and logged out.

nHis eyes were sunken and his skin appeared dull because he had trained without sleeping. However,

nthere was a content smile on his lips.

nAt last, the moment had arrived.

n-Iris scanning complete. Ian, welcome to the world of Kailan.

nIan logged in as soon as the server opened.

n‘I am in excellent condition!’

nThe white light disappeared and Ian was finally able to see the sign of the Sorcerer Guild. Ian didn’t

nwant to waste even a second, so, he had come to the place where class guilds were situated before

nlogging out.

nIan looked around and soon he found the building he was looking for.

n‘The Summoner Guild! That’s it!’

nIan didn’t hesitate before entering the building.

nOf course, there wasn’t a single user inside. In fact, Ian was the first.

nHe found the class changer NPC. All the class guild’s buildings had a similar structure, so, it wasn’t

nhard to find him.

nIan spoke to him right away and learned that his name was Kain.

n“I want to be a Summoner.”

nKain looked at Ian up and down and answered.

n“Hmm, the path of the Summoner isn’t easy. Not anyone can tame fierce monsters.”

n“I’m aware of that. But I think it is a cool class as much as its difficulties.”

nKain smiled and nodded at Ian’s flattering.

n“Of course, of course.”

nHe looked into Ian’s eyes and spoke again.

n“Okay, you seem to possess the right qualities! I am asking you for the last time. Do you really want to

nbe a Summoner?”

nIan nodded.

n“Yes, of course.”

n‘It looks like this is the moment to give it to him.’

nAs he spoke, he took out the Crystal of Muran out of his inventory.

n“What… this is!”

n“You know this crystal?”

nIan’s lips curled up a little. His heart was beating fast, to think that he was about to receive a hidden

nclass.

n“This is the crystal left by Muran, hero of the continent!”

nIan nodded.

n“Yes.”

n“You are a man far greater than I thought!”

nIan waited for his next words.

n‘Now, give me the hidden class!’

n“Then can you do me a favor?”

n
