Novel Bin Chapter 10
Chapter 10
"When Mom vomited, these huge seeds came pouring out! We kept using all those useless medicines because of those quack doctors!"
She explained the situation excitedly.
She was overjoyed, having been troubled by this for a long time.
It had been quite a while since Artsvel had smiled like this.
- This Noona could smile?
- I thought it wasn\'t in the NPC\'s settings;
- That\'s because you guys threw her in jail;
- lol real talk, that\'s a hell of a turnaround.
The chat window became noisy at this unfamiliar sight.
They would never have seen her smile without solving that problem.
It was only natural.
“Ah, I\'ve been rambling on too much.”
Artsvel, who had been excitedly talking, scratched her cheek and calmed herself down.
But her joy was still evident in her expression.
“Mom and I are alive thanks to you. It\'s not much, but please accept this.”
She picked up a sack and handed it over.
Then, along with an alarm sound, messages popped up.
Ding-!
[Quest completed.]
[Due to the first clear, the reward will be adjusted to the maximum amount.]
[2,000 gold ⟶ Increased to 4,000 gold.]
[Artsvel\'s Fireball Magic Book (1st rank - Hero) ⟶ Upgraded to (1st rank - Unique).]
[Stat points increased from 3 ⟶ 5.]
[Experience points increased from 500 ⟶ 700.]
[Level increased by 5.]
[5 stat points awarded.]
[Basic wand awarded.]
- Amazing..
- Insane.
- Unique?
- Unique grade?
- What the heck, there was no mention of a first clear reward.
- Can\'t you clear it again after killing Julio?
- No, how do you even catch the bomb slime?
- No one except Black Dragon has caught it yet lol.
"Huh?"
"...?"
First clear.
Neither Yeonwoo nor Hanbit expected this phrase.
And it was even Unique grade.
"Take this too."
Suddenly, Artsvel took out something else.
In her hand was a rolled-up parchment.
Ding-!
[Achievement: Artsvel\'s First Savior achieved.]
[Artsvel\'s Letter of Introduction awarded as a reward.]
[1 stat point awarded.]
A message popped up as he received the parchment.
It seemed like there was another reward for the first clear.
"What is this?"
"It\'s a letter of introduction to the blacksmith. If you need a weapon, go visit him. He\'ll take good care of you."
"...Ah."
Hanbit immediately checked the contents and found the familiar name of the blacksmith.
He returned the parchment and put it in his inventory.
"Thank you. I\'ll put it to good use."
"I\'m the one who\'s grateful. I\'ll never forget this. If you need any help, come anytime."
Her expression of gratitude was a little different from his memories of the past.
Seeing Artsvel\'s smile, he felt a strange mix of emotions.
Perhaps it was because his past memories kept overlapping with the present.
"I\'ll come again."
Leaving his final farewell, Hanbit left the shop.
Ding-!
[PreferenceRespect has donated 50,000 won.]
[I wanted to see her get angry...]
"PreferenceRespect 50,000 won! Thank you for the 50,000 won donation!"
Yeonwoo\'s voice rose at the sudden large donation.
Hanbit\'s eyes also widened slightly.
"Oh, thank you. I made 25,000 won."
- Quick calculation lol.
- He\'s so excited, it\'s cute lol.
- Black Dragon\'s 50:50 ratio
- But Roper was the one who suggested the ratio first lol.
It was enough to buy fried chicken and a 1.5-liter cola.
There was no way he wouldn\'t be happy.
But it didn\'t end there.
[Artsvel\'sSlave has donated 10,000 won.]
[Is this for real?;]
[ㅇㅇ has donated 50,000 won.]
[Rank 1 Unique is insane;]
[FlamingCharisma has donated 100,000 won.]
[As expected, fire is the best.]
"100,000 won! 100,000 won! It\'s really 100,000 won! FlamingCharisma!"
"Whoa."
Yeonwoo and Hanbit\'s eyes widened simultaneously at the changed unit.
There were even so many donations under 10,000 won that it was difficult to even read them all.
[Viewers: 8,170]
The number of viewers increased dramatically as soon as they cleared the quest.
Even if it was temporary, what mattered was the present.
"Thank you for all the 10,000 won, 50,000 won donations! Thank you so much to those who are donating even 1,000 won!"
"Thank you..."
Hanbit, expressing his gratitude along with Yeonwoo, was a little flustered.
\'How much did I earn now?\'
Just from what he could read, it was already 500,000 won.
He didn\'t know about commissions and all that, but with a simple calculation, he had 250,000 won in his hands.
He couldn\'t help but feel anticipation for how much it would be by the time the stream ended.
\'I should work hard.\'
Even if he had participated half-heartedly, this reality changed things.
How much greater would the response be if he actually acquired a hidden skill?
It was a fun scene to imagine.
\'...Was I this kind of person?\'
His train of thought drifted towards self-discovery.
The thought of simply earning money to give to his mother.
Besides that, he just found the viewers\' reactions amusing.
Was he really cut out for streaming?
"Hyung, Unique grade is insane! Try using the magic book quickly!"
At that moment, Yeonwoo rushed over and urged him.
"Ah, right."
Hanbit took out a red book from the sack and flipped the cover.
A small hologram button appeared on the book.
[Would you like to use it? (Yes/No)]
Click-
Without hesitation, he touched the \'Yes\' button, and the hologram disappeared.
Poof-!
At the same time, the book turned into smoke.
Before he knew it, \'Fireball\' was registered in his skill list.
"This is ridiculously easy."
- Ridiculously easy (Unique grade)
- First time with a one-click skill book?
- It\'s probably because he didn\'t take the magic writing/practical exam.
- Let\'s ask Artsvel to do it.
- She\'ll probably glare at us with cold eyes?
- Even better.
Regardless of the chat, Hanbit\'s feelings were complicated.
Unlike his initial lighthearted thoughts, he felt a bit aggrieved.
The magic he had learned through all that hardship...
Could it really be used just by moving a finger?
"Hyung, how is it? Amazing, right?"
"Is it really over just like that?"
"It was really strange for me at first too. It\'s like the instructions on how to use it just pop into your head?"
"...That\'s not the case for me?"
"Huh?"
The two looked at each other, their conversation not aligning.
However, there was no change in Hanbit\'s mind.
Even if he already knew everything, shouldn\'t the game system still apply normally?
\'...Could this be what it means to be an existing character?\'
The character creation screen flashed in his mind.
He didn\'t understand the whole body scan and brainwave stuff, but there was a high probability that the Goddess was behind this.
Just like with the recommended skills, anything could happen.
Rather, it was strange that he had been reincarnated 55 times.
\'It\'s been a while.\'
Hanbit had already mastered most of the skills in this world, including Fireball.
His experiences and memories were still vivid.
Hanbit raised his hand and concentrated.
"Fireball."
Whoosh-!
With the incantation, a fireball formed and shot up into the sky.
Although its completion was still lacking, he could certainly use it.
"Whoa, insane."
- What did I just see?
- Is that size for real?
- That\'s rank 1?
- Damn it, I want it too.
Yeonwoo and the viewers were amazed by the magic.
Ding-!
Suddenly, a notification sound rang out, and a message popped up.
Hanbit\'s eyes widened as he read the message.
[New effect of the title: 55 Time Recorder unlocked.]
\'Title?\'
A memory surfaced at that word.
Titles were a system where you increased the effects you possessed by collecting them.
His character information window clearly stated \'None\'.
Hanbit quickly moved his hand and checked the title list.
[55 Times Recorder]
The Recorder\'s accumulated experience is unlocked.
The proficiency of all experienced skills increases extremely quickly. Performance is enhanced based on the degree of experience.
Unopened (Keyword: Spirit)
\'...I\'ve done all sorts of things.\'
He had no questions about the content.
55 times.
The number of times he had experienced regression, possession, and reincarnation.
That number was etched in Hanbit\'s mind.
Moreover, he vividly remembered the words the goddess had said.
\'Everything you have accumulated will lead to great power.\'
At the time, he had interpreted it as simply meaning good life experiences.
Because that was the extent of his imagination.
\'...But to think it meant this.\'
The unopened list in number 2.
Furthermore, the keyword \'Spirit\' was a crucial element for Hanbit.
If this existed, there was a high possibility that other elements existed as well.
"Ah."
Various questions arose, but there were no immediate answers.
Worrying would only lead him into a quagmire.
Anyway, it was a good thing that what he had accumulated had not gone to waste.
"Hyung?"
Yeonwoo spoke up.
He was looking back and forth between the screen and Hanbit\'s face.
"Why did you suddenly open the title list?"
"What do you mean why? I\'m looking at the titles."
"There\'s nothing there, what are you looking at?"
"...You can\'t see it?"
"What is there to see?"
- ?
- He\'s already seeing things. ㅠㅠ
- Games are this dangerous.
The questions and reactions were completely off.
Hanbit immediately realized that only he could see this title and its contents.
"Hyung, are you tired?"
"...No, I must have seen it wrong. Are titles difficult to obtain?"
"It depends on the type, but many are difficult. Some have incredibly good additional effects. You have to grab them whenever you can."
Yeonwoo stressed the importance of titles several times.
However, it was clear that the 55 Times Recorder wouldn\'t fall into the category he was talking about.
Even with only one effect unlocked, it already surpassed common sense.
If others could see it, wouldn\'t other players be desperately searching for it?
"Fireball."
Whoosh-!
He cast the magic again, and the fireball shot into the air.
Even if it didn\'t feel completely natural, he had no trouble using it.
"Wow, but isn\'t it too much, even for Unique grade?"
Yeonwoo, who had been staring intently at the magic, asked.
"Too much?"
"Look at mine. Fireball."
Flicker-
When Yeonwoo chanted, a small flame appeared.
It wasn\'t even a fireball, just a crude lump a little bigger than a fist.
Seeing the result, Hanbit couldn\'t help but let out a dumbfounded voice.
"Are you kidding me? You call that a Fireball?"
