Chapter 6

“ . . . Hahaha!!”

Jack, the hotel owner, laughed . He looked at Lee Sungmin’s face, then at the things he brought, and laughed again .

“You really got all this by yourself?”

Teeth of goblins, 5 bottles of blood, poison, and others . The blow dart, poison needles, and bottles were his to keep . He thought that he may need it in the future .

Jack looked down at Sungmin and was lost in thought .

Goblins weren’t that hard of a monster to kill . It was annoying that they moved in packs, but goblins weren’t that bad when they were up against an experienced traveller . Going into the center of their territory may prove to be dangerous, but getting a few around the borders was easy .

However, it was a 14 year old who accomplished this . His surprise increased when he realized that the 14 year old was a No Class with no skills .

Jack ran a hotel, so he met a lot of otherworlders who arrived at Genavis . The people with martial arts or magic adapted easily .

However, a No Class was different . They had no skills to ensure their survival, nor did they have any experience with fighting against monsters . Most of the time, at least one month was needed for a No Class to adapt to life in Genavis and understand the situation they were put in and the need to kill monsters to survive .

“ . . . When did… did you come here?”

“Yesterday . ”

Lee Sungmin answered truthfully . Jack laughed again at that piece of information .

“You’re fourteen?”

“Yes . ”

“You don’t . . . have any skills?”

“ . . . yes . ”

“HAHAHA!”

Jack laughed again . Jack was curious what he did before coming here, but he didn’t ask . It was an unsaid law that people shouldn’t ask about one’s life in the previous world .

“I’ll… pay you well . Haha, a strange child came rolling in . A No Class went and killed monsters in just a day…”

In all honesty, Jack didn’t think Sungmin would return alive . There were only a few people who could understand their situation relatively easily and kill some monsters to survive .

Usually, they didn’t come back . Even though they understood, fighting and winning against monsters was a hard thing to do .

However, this child came back .

“I’ll reduce the cost by half . ”

Nothing is free . That was the law Jack abided .

“It’s good to have a relationship with such a talented child . If you survive long enough . . . Haha! You could become a high-ranked figure in Genavis in the future . Yes . Don’t forget about me then . ”

Jack laughed loudly and tapped Sungmin’s arm . Sungmin laughed as well and went up to his room .

Lee Sungmin had many thoughts in his head as he went up the stairs .

You’ll be a regular .

A child with talent .

The store owner and Jack said that . In his past life, Sungmin never heard of things like that being said to him or being held up in such high regard . It was especially apparent in this place .

Genavis made the otherworlders understand how cruel and unfair this world was . He understood just by observing Jack and the store owner’s attitude towards him .

Just having talent alone made it so much easier to get respect from others .

‘Talent, something that I never had before . ’

He sighed and entered his room . 13 years in Eria made it easy to understand his situation .

He never finished the cultivation methods that he studied for a decade and the other skills that he got . It would be easy to get back to that point in his previous life . Why that was possible is because that the skills that he achieved in his past life didn’t have any ‘enlightment . ’

The second class martial arts grew just by experience . Chase Soul Spear Technique was basically only a model . There would be no complete understanding . It was the same for all his skills .

[One Thunder] only had the basics, and [Iron Skin] and the [Stone Body] used external power . It required some inner strength, but those didn’t have enlightment either .

That was the difference between the first and the second class . The first class arts had enlightenment . If you were lucky, you could get the understanding and break the limit of the skills .

But not a second class skill . It was only a model and a figure, so there would be nothing to learn . The best it would be is to get close to the first class skills .

‘I have no strength in my body right now . I don’t have stamina or anything . If I get more stamina . . . the other skills except [Genuine Heavens] will grow fast . But it’s still only a second level skill . ’

That made Lee Sungmin very depressed . He needed the talent to overcome his limits .

But Lee Sungmin didn’t have that talent . He didn’t have the gift to turn nothing into something . So he had to rely on the arts with understanding .

But he had at least the Genuine Heavens . That was a first class art . If he studied enough . . . he might be able to succeed . The cultivation methods helps increase the limit of the inner strength . If he could learn the Genuine Heavens, it would be easier to learn more and use more of his inner strength .

Regardless, a cultivation method was still a cultivation method .

The limit was there .

‘I have a chance . But… not yet . I need to get that Intelligence Potion . ’

Sungmin breathed loudly as he took off his clothes . His body was slightly tired, but he dropped on the ground .

He was going to do pushups everyday .

*

He stayed at Jack’s hotel, and went to the hunting grounds everyday . He used his skills as much as he could, bought from the store owner, Hans, and sold stuff to him as well .

He usually fought Goblins . He went and figured out where their boundaries were, and hunted those who roamed around .

He kept gathering blood and teeth . Since his room cost was halved, he had money left after selling the items . Lee Sungmin got the money from Jack .

“Do you have a interdimensional pocket?”

About 2 weeks since he came here, he went to Hans and asked . Hans yawned and looked at Sungmin .

“I have it . ”

The interdimensional pocket would be a necessity for traveller hunting . Having magic, that pocket could hold a lot of stuff even with a small volume .

“Well, all of them are used, and the magic isn’t that good either . Let’s see…”

Hands opened the bad right in front of him . Inside, there was darkness . That pocket was a interdimensional pocket .

His hand went inside the bag, as he searched, Hans pulled out a small pocket .

“It’s used . I found it in the woods . From a dead body . A large body size maybe? Are you gonna buy it?”

“How much?”

“60,000 Erie . ”

Hans laughed . These were pretty expensive . The weight wasn’t felt t all, and since time didn’t flow, food could be stored as well . For a traveller, that was a key item .

“That’s expensive . ”

“You want to bargain? I’ll cut it to 50,000 . ”

Hans laughed loudly and said . But Lee Sungmin shook his head .

He only had about 10,000 Erie . Even with running around the forest, he was buying things and using the hotel, so money was hard to get .

“Next time, I really don’t have any money . ”

“You don't seem like… you want to bargain . Why’d you ask?”

“To me, you’re the best person who would sell me things for the cheapest price . ”

He needed a interdimensional pocket . But not yet . So he wanted to see how much Hans would sell it for .

Hans had an expression that he got hit in the back of the head .

“ . . . Hahaha! I’ve done this job for many years, but it’s the first time i’ve gotten this much trust from someone . Ok, let’s do this . I’ll test you . ”

“ . . . Yes?”

Lee Sungmin opened his eyes widely at the surprise words . Hans laughed and continued .

“If you kill 5 orcs and take their eyes, then I’ll give you this interdimensional pocket . ”

At that, Lee Sungmin swallowed hard . It had been about 2 weeks since he first arrived, but he still hadn’t tried hunting orcs .

Orcs were harder to fight . They were strong and powerful . They weren’t as intelligent as goblins, but they had enough strength to overcome that intelligence .

“ . . . When does that offer end?”

“Today . ”

Hans said with mischievous face .

“It’s been two weeks or so right? You went to the hunting grounds immediately, and you survived . You have talent . Even though it was only rabbits and goblins . . . if you kill an orc, I’ll believe that you have that talent .

It wasn’t talent; it was experience . He thought that to himself, but he didn’t show it .

“Yes . I’ll accept it . ”

Lee Sungmin nodded .
