Meanwhile, I was sitting on the ground and checking the items I obtained from Ragneos.
[Bead Fragment Dyed in Darkness x4]
[Rating:?
The use is unknown but fragments of an evil power can be felt.
* The information about the item is incomplete.]
“This seems to be something very important...”
I remembered the first time I got this.I thought it was just a mess and wasn’t a big deal, but I changed my mind when I saw Ragneos using it to manipulate Gorba.
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ will let you know when the time is right, so keep it.]
He knew what it was... well, there must be a reason.
I gazed at the skull staff in my other hand.
[Ragneos’ Crazy Skull Staff]
[Rating: Heroic
Durability: 150/150
Level Restriction: 120
Wearer Restrictions: This item belongs to the user ‘Jackson.’ However, it can be transferred once.
Magic Attack Power: 520
-Knowledge +50.
-Double the maximum magic power.
-The staff was cursed when Ragneos, the crazy goblin priest, quenched his staff in the blood of humans to increase the magic power.

-Once the staff is inserted in the ground, you can fire one dark magic without any cooldown toward all nearby enemies until all your magic power is gone.
-Dark magic currently stored: None.]
“This is why the arrows kept flying.”
I recalled the endless dark arrows and got goosebumps all over my body.I thought about it again and shook my head in a dazed manner.“I was almost killed.”
Kerenos spoke while lying down, “Aren’t you done yet, old man?”
“There is still a long way to go.”
“Won’t you go see the lord?”
“Shut up. This guy! Take this.”I handed Kerenos the dark bead fragment.
"What is this?"
“As-salamu alaykum!”
“......”
It wasn’t this?I shouted while waving the skull staff at him but he didn’t seem to be brainwashed.I didn’t mind and changed the chant.“Urachacha kedavra! Open sesame!”
Tsk, it didn’t work.Kerenos was dumbfounded and returned the bead with a laugh.Then he stood up.“I can’t do this. I have to go to the lord first.”
“You’re going already? You are a man with no loyalty. Tsk tsk.”
“Old man, you’ll stay here for a long time anyway.”
I didn’t deny it.It felt like I would take a while.I immediately drove Kerenos away.I was a bit sorry as I saw him leaving. Then a voice could be heard, “Once you come down, be sure to find me and the lord! We look forward to seeing you!”
...This damn guy. Tsk.I waved indifferently to him.Then I turned my head back to my inventory.“There were definitely one more...”
After a long time, I was finally able to find the item I was looking for.I opened the information window in a familiar manner.
[Giant Spider Queen’s Inner Core]
[Rating: Heroic
The inner core containing the power of the Giant Spider Queen, true queen of the Loch Mountains. The power of a spider can be acquired after ingesting it.
-The stat Super Sensitivity will be created.
-Skills: Spider Climbing is created.
-Resistance to spider venom +50%.]
“Hoh.” I thought I had to charge it with cobwebs like the spider king’s inner core but that wasn’t it.I cheered with delight at the thought of saving time.This was a situation where I killed two birds with one stone!
“Super sensitivity...? What is this?”
This game, it was really hard.It was full of things I didn’t know.The only guess I could come up with after thinking for a long time was that it was probably something similar to my sensory stat. Still, there was no way to know what exactly the skill and stat were just by looking.I decided to try it out for myself.
“Isn’t this a gongjindan...? [1]
It was the same golden color as the gongjindan and I couldn’t help frowning.Still, if it was good for my body then I should eat it. It was because I wanted to live a long time.Although this would be awful to take...
“It can’t be helped since I have to see Mido get married and give birth to a great grandchild.”
I quickly put the gongjindan... no, the spider king’s and spider queen’s inner cores, into my mouth.It was only for my health.
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is frowning because it looks bad.]
Four hours later...
I became very healthy after eating the inner cores and reached Windia’s north gate.However, I wasn’t happy. “I wasted four hours just to get this ability... ugh!”
[High Elasticity Cobwebs (Active)]
[Rating: B
You can store high elasticity cobwebs in your body.
Press your middle and ring finger against your palm to fire. The cobwebs will continue to fire when they are pressed tightly against your palm.
The cobwebs can bind enemies or used as a rope to save yourself. However, if you consume all the cobwebs then you’ll need to eat them to recharge.
-Cobwebs: 950/1000
Magic Power Consumption: 1. Cooldown Time: None.
*Enemies hit by cobwebs will have a 10% drop in movement speed.]
[Spider Climbing (Passive)]
[Rating: Heroic
Microscopic spider protuberances will grow on your body.
You can hold onto anything using these protuberances and won’t make any sound while sticking and moving.
Magic Power Consumption: 1 every 30 seconds (The longer you stick to the wall, the more your mana will decrease).]
It was too disappointing.I thought it would be a pretty good skill since it had a heroic rating like the shadow dagger, yet that wasn’t the case. “How am I supposed to use this?”
I tried shooting a cobweb and climbing a wall.However, it was a skill that was useless for me.Of course, it was better than nothing but there was no place for me to use it.It was literally a skill I couldn’t give up despite being of little interest.
“Then there is this...”

After eating the inner cores, my sensory stat changed to super sensitivity.
No, it hadn’t changed. It was better to say that it evolved to a higher tier stat.
[Super Sensitivity: You taste, touch, smell, hearing, and vision are more sensitive.
* If an enemy’s attack falls within a 1 meter radius, for every 50 points in super sensitivity, you can see the enemy’s attack in a slowed down manner for 0.1 second.]
It seemed like a good thing.Being able to see the slowed down enemy attacks was definitely a good thing.However, this story only applied when it lasted a long time.
“0.1 seconds. What can I do with this?”
It had taken me three hours.There had been messages saying I shouldn’t move while absorbing the inner cores.I had to sit cross-legged for three hours without moving.
“It took 30 minutes to try things out and 30 minutes to come down... what a waste.”
Due to my age, every day was very precious yet I wasted four hours on this nonsense.
“Hah...”
I could see a familiar landscape.I was watching the giant windmill with disappointment when a familiar voice was heard, “Broder~! ~!!”
“Drain?”
I could see Drain running toward me from the distance.Why was he running like that?The reason was unknown but he seemed to be in a hurry.Finally, he gasped as he arrived before me.
“Broder, Miss Kim... pant.”
“Sujeong? What happened to Sujeong?”
“Kidnapped... pant, she was kidnapped!”
“...What?”
I quickly sent a whisper to Sujeong.
-Jackson:Sujeong, where are you?
[The user ‘Crystal’ is unable to accept whispers.]
Drain’s words continued, “Fire... pant, Fire Dragons...”
The moment I heard the name, my body trembled with unbearable anger.
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is sighing and says he thought it would be like this.]
“Pant, he said he would wait in the east forest.”
Those guys really used any means...
Those damn guys opened a door they shouldn’t have opened. I made a pledge.I would tear them apart.I pledged that I would chew them up and enjoy it, making them never recover again.
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is starting the route guidance.]
I hurried to the east.The name of this place was Yurnia Forest.The huge Yurnia Mountains, lush forest, and cliffs made it a charming place.Sometimes, slime monsters emerged but they weren’t strong. I moved through the forest and the place I arrived at was a large, vacant lot.
“Hey, who is this? How are you, old man?”Six Fires—I saw that damn face and gritted my teeth.
He walked over the moment he saw me.“Aren’t you brave? You came here alone?”
This guy...
“I am very grateful for the other day. I was stigmatized as a pervert.”Six Fires approached and pushed me with his shoulders.
However, he shouldn’t have come. Son of a bitch.
“Aack! Aaaack! My arm! My arm!!”Six Fires hit my arm and asked me to release him.However, I didn’t want to let go.I tightened my grip even further.
“Aaaack! Aaaack!”
All the people around me pulled out their blades.
“This crazy old man!”
“Aren’t you going to let go?!”
“You’re out of your mind!”
They were surrounding me as they pulled out their weapons.I wanted to kick Six Fires’ face and give him a true lesson but I endured it.It was because Sujeong was being held hostage.“Where is she?”
“......”
“I asked where she is.”
They were gulping at the dark killing intent in my eyes.Then I heard a voice, “Old man, hasn’t it been a while?”
Supreme Fire Dragon. This jerk...
“Where is Sujeong?”
“Sujeong? Oh, is her name Sujeong? That woman is over there.”
My eyes followed his finger.Then I saw Sujeong hanging from a tree.
