| Due to reaching your current level in the Spirit Summoning skill,
you have received a gift.
100,000 points.
You can now
upgrade the system to Level Three. |
Arthur froze in place.
His smile was not ordinary happiness...
It was pure astonishment.
'My power...
has increased... tremendously.'
It wasn't limited to his statistics.
Even his Spirit Summoner skill had made an enormous leap.
Fifty soldiers.
A number he could never have imagined possessing only a short while ago.
And the amount of points...
was insane.
As for the option to upgrade the system—
That was an entirely different matter.
Arthur suddenly rose to his feet,
his heart pounding violently from the shock.
"Lord Arthur?
Are you alright?"
He returned to reality.
Standing before his eyes was Go Gun Hee,
looking at him with confusion.
'Damn...
I got absorbed in the system out of excitement for a few seconds.'
Arthur cleared his throat calmly,
then raised his head with a composed expression.
"Thank you,
but I haven't undergone the Hunter evaluation yet.
And even if what you're saying is true,
and I'm S-Rank now...
why is the Chairman of the Hunters Association himself speaking to me about this?"
Go Gun Hee smiled,
then began explaining calmly.
The Association monitored Hunters who were approaching S-Rank,
and tried to establish contact with them early.
Most of them
either joined the massive guilds,
or pursued a path of fame and influence.
That was why...
Go Gun Hee had come personally.
"Hunter Arthur..."
"Let me repeat what I said to Hunter Song Jin Woo before.
We can help you grow in unlimited ways."
"Power,
resources,
status,
reputation...
Whatever you want,
we will provide it...
in whatever way suits you."
Go Gun Hee finished speaking,
and stared into Arthur's face.
A burned face.
A body carrying the marks of severe injuries.
A faint aura...
But—
Those eyes.
Pure blue,
swirling like an endless vortex.
Go Gun Hee felt his attention being forcibly drawn into them.
"You're speaking to me now
because my joining one of the five major guilds
would disrupt the balance of power between them."
Go Gun Hee suddenly returned to his senses,
then smiled with genuine admiration.
'Terrifyingly intelligent.'
Arthur thought for a few seconds.
'It's an opportunity that means nothing to me.
My goal isn't to join a guild...
but to create one.'
Arthur sighed calmly,
then spoke in a steady voice without hesitation:
"I refuse your offer."
Go Gun Hee's expression changed,
and a clear trace of disappointment appeared on his face.
"Then tell me...
Did you refuse the offer because of money?
Or are you planning to walk the path of battle as well,
just as Song Jin Woo does?"
Arthur smiled.
A gentle smile...
But on that burned face,
it sent a genuine shiver through the body of an experienced Hunter like Go Gun Hee.
"Money?
Battle?"
There was clear mockery in his tone.
"Trivial goals...
that occupy ordinary people."
"My dream is greater than all of that, old man.
Money comes and goes.
And battle...
either makes you stronger
or kills you."
He paused for a moment,
then spread his arms toward the world,
as a pure...
dark...
smile appeared on his face.
"My dream now...
is to stand
at the top of the universes."
With those words,
Arthur's aura exploded.
An enormous pressure swept through the entire hospital,
and the building shook violently.
The blood within Arthur's body surged with unbelievable madness,
like a raging tidal wave ready to swallow the entire world
at the height of its madness and fury.
Those were not empty words or some meaningless explanation.
No.
Arthur's aura had truly reached such an extraordinary level,
to the point that everyone in the hospital trembled beneath it
and felt its presence.
Whether ordinary humans or Hunters,
everyone felt it as it enveloped the surroundings.
When everyone looked around them,
they saw an eternal darkness devouring the world before their naked eyes.
Meanwhile, Arthur smiled with madness and excitement.
"The Outer Gods...
I will slaughter every last one of you."
He said it with terrifying calmness,
while looking at the ceiling of the hospital.
But his eyes...
were not looking at the ceiling.
They were looking beyond the universe itself.
"Old man Go...
I am Arthur Narin.
I am the one who will stand
at the top of the worlds.
This world...
is nothing but nonsense in my eyes."
With his final words,
the aura weakened...
then disappeared completely.
Go Gun Hee's body continued trembling without stopping.
If someone else had said those words—
he would have laughed at them,
and considered them a dreaming child.
But...
In the presence of Arthur Narin,
Go Gun Hee believed every word
with his soul and heart.
"You...
are the person who will stand at the top of the universes."
He repeated the words,
and his entire body shuddered.
Just imagining the scene...
made him tremble with excitement.
'When I was his age...
I never even thought about becoming the strongest in my country.
And this boy...
dreams of becoming the strongest—
not in a country,
nor a planet,
nor a galaxy...'
'But in the universes themselves.'
"Thank you, old man.
Let us meet again another time."
And in the next moment—
Arthur disappeared.
Not just his body...
His body, his soul, his power—
everything disappeared without a trace.
---
| You bastard...
You really got carried away by excitement. |
"Are you joking?
The Outer Gods...
Cthulhu, Azathoth...
or whatever his name is,
they're all after my head."
"Tell me, Cain...
When was the last time we were in a hopeless situation,
where death was the only truth?"
| During your battle against Cthulhu. |
"Exactly.
Back then, I was far too weak.
Even the Ruler's Potion couldn't save me.
We knew...
that we would die no matter what we did."
"But—"
| Yes...
Me too. |
Arthur smiled calmly.
He was now sitting in his home,
after a long time had passed since the disaster,
and Kyu had repaired everything.
He looked around,
then spoke in a composed tone:
"So...
tell me, Cain.
What are the advantages of the new upgrade?"
