nEverything up until now wasn’t pleasant to say the least, but this-

nThis was the worst of all.

n“Uh…”

nAs he flipped the pages, enormous amounts of information began seeping into his head, as if his brain was being overwritten forcefully. He was filled with headaches and dizziness, but he couldn’t stop. An unknown force made him flip 4 to 5 pages per minute. It was like hell.

nWhen Dohyuk went through the last page, he was finally freed.

nDohyuk then placed his finger on the skill he just acquired.

n<>

nIncompleted art of kicks by Elder Heran of Ruuga Nation to continue the heritage of traditional martial arts. Comprised of various fancy and powerful kicks, but lacks variety due to the creator’s sickness before completing it. Rank decreased due to reason.

nHowever, its foundation is considered to be one of the best between any martial arts that contain kicks.

n-Proficiency: 1

/10

n-More skills and special moves will be unlocked as proficiency increases.

nDohyuk stood up and posed. He had never heard about this ‘Flying Master Kicks’ before, but he could easily think of everything he needed to know about this skill now. He used his left leg to kick, which became the best kick he had ever done in his life. But his head told him that it was not right. He tried again, this time with more power, creating a swooshing sound that would only occur when swinging a huge blunt object.

nDohyuk mumbled, “I just know it as a knowledge.”

nJust knowing it was enough to allow him to use such kick, but he needed to practice to make it truly his. It seemed this proficiency directly reflected.

n‘But there’s more.’

nSome moves were as if they were shrouded by a fog within his memory. Maybe these were special moves that could be unlocked later on.

n“But.. isn’t this…?”

nDohyuk was not familiar with any martial arts. Yet all the moves were very familiar to the only martial art he knew. Anyway, it was time to move on.

n‘I can’t stay here forever.’

nFirst, he needed coins and food. It only had been a few hours since he was filled by eating hooks. Yet he was already filling bit empty in his stomach.

n‘I might even die out of hunger.’

nDohyuk then opened the trailer door and walked out. He was shocked.

n“Ugh.”

nThe air was different. It was humid and very hot. Also, the sight wasn’t like anything he had seen before. There were plants everywhere as if it was a jungle. He then felt something touching his left arm and turned. It was a bug that the size of a child’s fist. It was about to penetrate Dohyuk’s skin by using its 3 cm long proboscis.

n“…!”

nHe reacted quickly without thinking. The blood-sucking insect was crushed b y Dohyuk’s fist.

nDohyuk felt uneasy as he then heard the chilling sound of an unidentified being from the distance that he heard together with Jimin back in his room. Then he heard a sound, and he hid from it. The bush nearby the truck was a good place to hide.

nIt was A human that appeared. The young man had a sword that was twice as long as a kitchen knife and he had a necklace.

n“Whew.”

nThe young man looked around. It seemed like he was ready to fight and kill at any moment, as he was viciously searching for prey. Dohyuk pondered on two choices.

nAmbush.

nStay hidden.

nThe young man then began to walk out. He had a confident gait and Dohyuk knew what choice he had to take. He decided not to ambush him and let the young man walk out into the jungle.

nThe name of the man was Joo Eunhyub and he was doing pretty well up to this point.

n-Option: Efficient cutting(Lv.4)

nWeapon of Baco Jungle Guards. Crude and has low durability, but works well in ‘cutting’ anything.

n‘Good.’

nHe had encountered some unforeseen events, but it was going well. Before he came back to the past, it was considered breeze for the early stage with one ‘C’ ranked item. Eunhyub had two C-rank items, so it was great.

n‘Too bad that I couldn’t increase my stats from the 2nd trial, but it doesn’t matter. What matters is who finds better treasure.”

nHe did have to fight against another competitor in search of his jungle sword when he went to find it at the hidden ‘Ruins of the Guards’. The winner was Eunhyub, and with it, he was able to easily kill two other competitors at the ‘Corpse of Noble Boy’ to loot the necklace.

nThe third was in front of him.

nFall of Gahura.

nEunhyub’s first thought was to drink water from it as he was thirsty. But there was someone here already. It was a young woman at about the age of twenty. She was hiding as Eunhyub came to the fall, and ambushed.

nThey fought silently, without making much sound. They knew that if they made any sound, it would only attract more competitors.

nThe woman used her left hand with a shield to strike Eunhyub. It was her skill.

n“Dumb b*tch.”

nEunhyub scoffed. His jungle sword had cut the woman’s hand along with the shield into two. She screamed but the sword quickly penetrated her throat, killing her.

n“I have seen you somewhere… shame. You might’ve lived a bit longer if you were a bit cuter.”

nEunhyub then turned toward the fall. If he acquired one from here, he would be the best of this region.

n“I will be the new Phenomenal Nine.”

nHe then used his hand to drank some of the water. Someone struck him on the back of his head, making him fall to the water.

n‘I almost lost him,’ Dohyuk thought. He almost lost him as he had to keep his distance and he actually did lose him. It was only due to the woman’s scream that made him track back.

nDohyuk realized that the man’s sword and necklace was a result of him going to a place where it was stored.

n‘The others aren’t like me. They know at least some information about this place.’

nThen, that young man’s confidence meant he knew where he was going. Dohyuk decided to follow and he was right.

n“Ugh.”

n“…!”

nDohyuk was shocked as he saw Eunhyub getting up. The water was shallow and only came up to about knee height. Dohyuk made a strong enough strike at the man’s head and he did not imagine him to get back up.

n“D… dammit… necklace saved me…”

nHe caressed the necklace and took up the sword.

n“I don’t know what kind of bastard you are…”

nBut before he can finish, he looked at his attacker and stopped talking.

n“Uh… y-you…”

n“Didn’t you hear me a while ago?”

nDohyuk readied himself.

n“You… you…”

n“I’ll give you a chance. Lower your weapon.”

nEunhyub’s eyes shook. He bit his lip so hard that it bled.

n“F*ck off.”

nHe was filled with too great of an ambition to give up now. Besides, he had two of C-rank items.

n“I… I know your weakness. Eve-even… even you… I kn-know- I am stronger at the moment!”

nEunhyub stuttered but Dohyuk did not pay any attention. He was already thinking of how to attack.

n‘I have the higher ground so…’

nEunhyub readied his sword. His fear and the pain from the back of his head clouded his thinking.

n‘His weakness…. Weakness..’

nThere wasn’t much. But there was a rumor about the weakness of the famous Dohyuk. Dohyuk’s nature required him to lay all of his five fingers on the item to be activated.

n‘If that’s the case, I’ll aim the bottom. The bottom…’

nThe two of them planned their next method of attack.

n“AAAAAHHHHH!”

nIt was Eunhyub who moved first. He shouted, forgetting to keep quiet, and charged against Dohyuk, aiming at his leg. As he was on lower ground, he didn’t even need to lower to attack the lower part of Dohyuk’s body. He just needed to swing in a horizontal line. But when his blade reached the target, the target was not there. He didn’t dodge the attack. It was just that Dohyuk’s attack required him to jump high first.

n‘There’s no next if I fail.’

nHe glanced at Eunhyub at the bottom and the body flipped. Spinning two times in the air, he swung his leg. It was a very basic skill, but it was the first skill he could use with the current proficiency.

n-Do-Ryu-Zen

nThe kick cleanly cracked Eunhyub’s head.
