Level 2 Player

Ring of Resurrection

The Ring of Resurrection had only one option.

The skill Resurrection that perfectly recovers not only the injuries the target received but also bottomed-out stamina, mana, and mental power.

From a player’s position, it was a cheat item the same as carrying one extra lifeline.

‘If I had that, I wouldn’t have died on Floor 2,222 before the regression.’

If he had obtained the Ring of Resurrection, he would have sufficiently cleared Floor 2,222.

‘But it wasn’t that plain-looking.’

The simple design and form were the same. However, the appearance was a bit different from the Ring of Resurrection Jin-su had seen.

‘First, confirm the information.’

[Ring of Resurrection - Level 1]

-Unique rare grade skill: Resurrection

-Cooldown: 24 hours

-It is a bound item.

‘It’s correct.’

Unique grade plus bound option.

It was the Ring of Resurrection Jin-su knew.

‘It was a growth-type item.’

The Ring of Resurrection was an item of the type whose level rises, the same as the Bloodsucking Sword.

‘Would the peddler know that fact?’

Probably the probability was high that they didn’t know.

‘Even just obtaining the Ring of Resurrection is a gain.’

Just in case, Jin-su examined the items the peddler had taken out more closely. But unfortunately, there was no jackpot like the Ring of Resurrection.

‘Still, the quality of the items overall isn’t bad.’

Not only weapons, armor, and accessories but also class change books and skill books were items that could absolutely not be obtained at Tower Floor 12 level.

‘Class change books are essential.’

There was a need to confirm whether changing class to a holy-type class was possible through the Status Window Switch skill.

‘This would be the best.’

Flame Combat Mage.

A class that possesses only flame-type attack skills specialized in combat more than ordinary mages.

‘No need to particularly change class to a warrior type.’

That can be covered with the dark-type class Blood Demon Swordsman.

‘Also, to clear that alone, a mage class is essential.’

After organizing his thoughts, Jin-su started shopping.

“First this, this, this.”

Jin-su swept up all the items he had marked in advance, including the Ring of Resurrection and the Flame Combat Mage class change book.

“Uh? Uh? What are you doing now!”

The peddler who had been blankly watching that appearance shouted loudly.

“Why?”

“Just the sword, staff, armor, accessories, and class change book you chose already exceed 10 million points! And why are you choosing the same skill book twice!”

“That’s my business. But just the sword, armor, accessories, and class change book already exceed 10 million points?”

“That’s right!”

“From what I see, I don’t think so?”

“Isn’t the price of items determined by the seller rather than the buyer?”

“I have no intention of being overcharged. Just add 1 million points to all the items I chose. Then I’ll exchange for the two-handed axe.”

“What is that...!”

The moment the peddler raised their voice and was about to have a fit.

“This would be about 1.5 million points to buy, this 700,000 points. And this...”

As Jin-su started reciting the prices of the items he chose one by one, the peddler’s body froze like a rock.

“If you add 1 million points here, it seems like exactly the right price, isn’t it?”

“No, that’s the purchase cost! I also need a margin! I’ll give you all the items you chose! So give me the two-handed axe!”

“What purchase cost. Honestly, even if you add 1 million points, there’s leftover. Let’s just finish it cleanly.”

“I absolutely can’t do that.”

“1.1 million points.”

“What? What is that?”

“1.2 million points.”

“What are you doing now!”

“1.3 million points.”

“Stop! I understand! I’ll give 1.3 million points!”

As Jin-su raised the price, the peddler eventually raised the white flag.

“Give the points.”

At Jin-su’s words, the peddler trembled their hands and deeply lowered their head.

[You have acquired 1.3 million points.]

[You have achieved for the first time the impossible feat of acquiring points before Tower Floor 50.]

[Title The One Who Acquired Points Before Tower Floor 50 is granted.]

[Title The One Who Accomplished the Impossible Feat Twice is granted.]

‘There was something like this?’

Even Jin-su, before the regression, only reached Tower Floor 50 and then could convert the achievements accumulated until then into points. Therefore, he didn’t know if such a feat existed.

This time too, the titles disappeared in an instant.

‘But the blessings aren’t growing. Is it because they grew a little while ago?’

It was a bit regrettable, but still, since the blessings’ experience points would have accumulated quite a lot, he decided to think positively.

“Here, take it.”

Jin-su handed over the two-handed axe to the peddler while smiling pleasantly.

“This is a scam.”

The peddler sobbed.

“Even doing this, a sufficient margin is left. Don’t feel too wronged.”

“It’s not sufficient at all!”

“But why are you pulling the robe over your head? Is it a concept?”

“It was consideration so you wouldn’t be surprised!”

“I don’t need that kind of consideration.”

Jin-su knew what race the peddler was. Therefore, there was no reason to be surprised.

‘Well, if players from Earth see it, they might be surprised.’

Most peddlers were beastkin.

“Hmph, then don’t be surprised.”

The peddler took off the robe. At the same time, a cute dog with fluffy brown fur walking on two legs revealed its appearance.

“You were a dog.”

“I’m a fox!”

At Jin-su’s words, the peddler flared up and shouted.

‘They pulled the robe over their head so they wouldn’t look underestimated for no reason.’

If the peddler in front was a fierce beast-type mammal or an amphibian or reptile-type beastkin, he would have believed the word consideration...

‘They’re just cute.’

The peddler in front was cute enough that even if not Jin-su but an ordinary player from Earth saw them, they would immediately run over and rub their face and roughly stroke their head.

“What’s your name?”

“It’s Lucy.”

“Yeah, Lucy. See you next time.”

“I don’t want to see you.”

After packing the remaining items spread on the stall, Peddler Lucy melted into the air as if dissolving and disappeared.

‘I hope we meet again next time.’

From Jin-su’s position, Peddler Lucy was a very good sucker. If Jin-su’s trading counterpart had been a veteran peddler?

‘It would have ended at the level of seeing a slight gain at best.’

He wouldn’t have seen the big gain of purchasing multiple items at cost.

‘First the skills.’

Among the skill books he purchased two each, Jin-su learned only one each for now.

‘Now let’s try changing class.’

Jin-su picked up the class change book Flame Combat Mage and tried changing class.

[You are a dark-type player. Changing class to the holy-type class change book Flame Combat Mage is impossible.]

Naturally it failed.

‘I expected this.’

Jin-su used the Status Window Switch skill. Then when he tried changing class.

[Using Class Change Book - Flame Combat Mage.]

[You have changed class to the holy-type class Flame Combat Mage.]

He succeeded in changing class extremely easily.

‘Done.’

Jin-su’s face brightened. While possessing a dark-type class, he obtained a holy-type class overlapping through Status Window Switch. And that of completely opposite classes of warrior and mage.

‘The skill window is clean.’

Except for the class skills newly created by changing class to Flame Combat Mage, not even a single skill existed.

‘The level is still the same.’

Both the class level and the levels of the class skills created after changing class were all fixed at 2.

‘Stamina and mana are also maintained separately.’

The dark-type status window was in a state where stamina and mana had been consumed to some extent. But when he converted to the holy-type status window, it changed to a state where stamina and mana were perfectly full.

‘I should test whether stamina and mana recover in the deactivated status window state. And whether injuries also recover when switching status windows.’

Status Window Switch had enormous advantages.

Of course, that didn’t mean there were no disadvantages.

‘It is regrettable.’

Not only the skills Inventory, Calamity of Goblins, Master of Dual Swordsmanship, and Master of Throwing but also the skills he had newly learned through skill books a little while ago all cleanly disappeared without missing even one.

‘Well, since I changed class to Flame Combat Mage, it’s not particularly regrettable.’

Also, there was a countermeasure of sorts.

‘I didn’t buy skill books two each for nothing.’

Jin-su used the skill books he had learned earlier and left over.

‘Rise. Rise.’

Jin-su learned the skill books while expecting his prediction to come true. And around the time the purchased skill books ran out.

[Blessing of Hwangsin has grown.]

[Blessing of Hongsin has grown.]

The blessings grew.

‘As expected.’

Although the status window is divided into 2, the blessings are shared. On the other hand, skills are not shared.

‘If you use that, you can learn the same skill twice.’

Jin-su predicted that learning the same skill twice could also become a foothold for the blessings’ growth. And that prediction came true exactly.

‘But what grew this time?’

If the stats themselves rose or the increase percentage rose, there was no way Jin-su wouldn’t know. But right now it was too quiet.

‘First, let’s confirm the blessing information.’

Jin-su opened the status window and confirmed the changes in the blessings.

[Blessing of Hwangsin]

-Increases Strength stat by 12.2%.

-Increases Agility stat by 12.2%.

-Increases Mana stat by 12.2%.

-Increases physical attack power by 12.2%.

-Increases physical defense by 12.2%.

-Increases stamina recovery by 12.2%.

-Strength stat is fixed at 922.

-Agility stat is fixed at 922.

-Mana stat is fixed at 922.

-The levels of 2 class active skills are fixed at 22.

-Status window increases to 2.

[Blessing of Hongsin]

-Increases Stamina stat by 12.2%.

-Increases Durability stat by 12.2%.

-Increases Mental Power stat by 12.2%.

-Increases physical skill attack power by 12.2%.

-Increases physical skill defense by 12.2%.

-Increases mana recovery by 12.2%.

-Stamina stat is fixed at 922.

-Durability stat is fixed at 922.

-Mental Power stat is fixed at 922.

-The levels of 2 class passive skills are fixed at 22.

-Skill status window switch has been created.

‘It fixes the levels of 2 active and passive class skills each at 22?’

Jin-su opened the status window and confirmed the information of the class skills.

[Fire Arrow - Level 2]

[Mana Amplification - Level 2]

Until now, both were 2.

‘Let’s try.’

When Jin-su thought of fixing the levels of Fire Arrow and Flame Orb at 22.

[Fire Arrow - Level 22]

[Mana Amplification - Level 22]

‘It really rose.’

The levels of the class active skill Fire Arrow and passive skill Mana Amplification that were Level 2 until a little while ago both rose to 22.

‘If I grow the blessings, the number of skills whose levels can be fixed at 22 will increase.’

Also, the levels of ordinary active skills and passive skills that are not class skills will be able to be raised to 22.

However, it wasn’t that there were no regrettable points.

‘Doesn’t the class level rise?’

The class level needs to rise for new higher class skills to appear, but there was no news at all. Moreover, a method to raise the level of the blessing-exclusive skill Status Window Switch had not appeared yet.

‘It would be good if I could raise this guy’s level too.’

The cooldown of Status Window Switch right now wasn’t bad either. But it was a bit regrettable. Because if free status window switching was possible without the constraint of cooldown, Jin-su’s combat power would rise significantly.

‘What order the skill levels grow in, I’ll know if I grow the blessings.’

Jin-su equipped the newly purchased armor and accessories.

‘The biggest jackpot is this guy.’

He stroked the Ring of Resurrection. Right now it’s only Level 1 so the cooldown is long and the skill effect is at a level of nothing special, but.

‘If it grows, it’s the same as one more spare lifeline appearing.’

From Jin-su’s position, it was no different from making an unexpected windfall.

‘The performance of the other items is also decent.’

Considering reselling later, he only chose ones with good cost-effectiveness. From Jin-su’s position, it was an enormously rational shopping.

‘Originally, items that can absolutely not be obtained on Tower Floor 12.’

Thanks to the sucker peddler Lucy, he was able to buy necessary items at a cheap price in a place where he couldn’t buy them.

‘Let’s climb to Tower Floor 50 as fast as possible.’

Only then can he use the auction house.

‘The points are sufficient.’

If he sells the achievements he has accumulated so far and the achievements he will accumulate from now on, as well as the elixirs he has gathered so far, he can make a considerable amount of points.

‘I have to buy it first before that person buys it.’

Shining Longsword.

Just looking at the name, it looks like a mediocre low-level weapon.

‘But like the Bloodsucking Sword, it’s a rare growth-type weapon.’

Ultimately, the Shining Longsword grows into the White Heaven Divine Sword. The White Heaven Divine Sword was the strongest divine weapon that rivaled the Black Heaven Demon Sword that Jin-su used before the regression.

‘Before the regression, I never obtained it forever.’

The White Heaven Divine Sword was the beloved weapon of that person who always climbed the Tower one step ahead of Jin-su.

‘Before the regression, I was always one step late.’

That person always climbed the Tower faster than Jin-su.

‘This time, I’ll overtake them.’

The first condition for that was obtaining the Shining Longsword.

‘Until now, there is no one who knows the true value of the Shining Longsword.’

The Shining Longsword is only a mediocre low-level weapon in appearance. Therefore, until that person purchased the Shining Longsword, it continued to go unsold and remained at the auction house.

In fact, there was leisure in time. But when the thought came that he could obtain the White Heaven Divine Sword which he couldn’t even look at before the regression, his heart became impatient for no reason.

‘As long as I continue like now, that’s enough.’

Monopolize titles and hidden dungeons and climb to Tower Floor 50 keeping 22 hours 22 minutes 22 seconds.

That was Jin-su’s primary goal.
