Return of the Frozen Player 021

 

Nine Yin Severance Syndrome (2)

 

Seo Jun-ho rubbed his eyes.

But the message in front of him didnt disappear.

In my 25… no, is it my 50 years of life Ive never seen anything like this before. 

The Frost skill really was all-powerful in all aspects.

I can even absorb the Magic stat.

It really was the perfect skill.

Not even Watchguard of Darkness could let him do anything like this.

No.

Its too early to draw conclusions. 

If the Frost skill could absorb Yin energy from a rare disease like this… It was possible that Watchguard of Darkness could absorb something with aDarkness attribute.

Something with a Darkness attribute… Ive never seen anything with it, but Ill have to do some research. 

This situation wasnt bad.

Actually, it had turned out for the better.

If its gonna raise my Magic stat, Im definitely gonna absorb it. 

And if it worked, he would be able to save the Cinder Foxs core for another time.

Seo Jun-ho slowly closed his eyes and grabbed Choi Sun-hees wrist.

He concentrated all of his attention into his hands.

Shwaaaa.

All of the magic in her body pooled into her wrists.

First, let me take a look at her magic circulation. 

He pictured the magic circuits in her head like a drawing.

It was much more crowded than an average persons.

The Yin energy had frozen into icicles.

I should do this with one push. If he prolonged the treatment, it would be hard on the patient.

Crackle!

Seo Jun-hos magic pierced through Choi Sun-hees circuits.

The icicles cracked and shattered into fragments from the collision of magic.

But it wasnt over yet.

It… looks like a snowball. Like a snowball being pushed around in a field, the shards gathered around his magic energy until it started to enlarge.

Seo Jun-ho switched his attention over and checked on the patient.

“…Oh” His face became curious.

This is beyond my expectations.

In the past, hed used the Cinder Foxs core to cure Nine Yin Severance Syndrome, using its Yang energy to melt down the frozen magic circuits.

It wasnt good for the patient. The two extremes would clash, and he had to work to cancel them out.

They were like little explosions within the patients body.

It was unimaginably painful, both mentally and physically.

But now, it was the opposite.

Choi Sun-hee let out a slight groan, breathing evenly with a peaceful look on her face.

Im relieved. 

After making sure she was ok, he no longer felt nervous.

Seo Jun-ho grabbed her wrist with both hands, using both of them to absorb the Yin energy.

It was faster than using just one.

“……”

Of course, it also helped him concentrate.

Magic circuits required care and focus.

If he made the slightest mistake, he wouldnt know how it would affect her.

So he went slowly, keeping his focus as if he were crossing a rope bridge.

Drip. 

A drop of sweat fell from the bridge of his nose onto the bed sheet, and Seo Jun-ho let out a long sigh.

It was finally over.

“Phew… I dont know if Ill be able to do this again.” When he glanced at the clock, he found that four hours had passed since he started.

Using the core only took about two hours and ten minutes last time… 

Perhaps it was because the method was different, but it had taken nearly twice that time.

But the successful results made him proud.

“She probably wont have any side effects either.” Hed absorbed all the Yin energy that had spread throughout Choi Sun-hees body.

It was good for her, but it was even better for him.

 

[Your Magic stat has increased by 5.]

 

Finally, his Magic stat had gone up.

“Status window.”

 

[Seo Jun-ho]

Level: 13

Title: The One Who Opens Spring

Strength: 46          Stamina: 44

Speed: 50               Magic: 51

 

As he took in his stats, Seo Jun-hos lips curled.

“Hehe…” He laughed like a senile old man.

There was no helping it.

Even compared to his peak, his stats were crazy good.

People tend to deviate slightly from the average stats of their level… But he was sure. My stats are similar to someone around level 35. 

In other words, there was no one at his level who could compare to him.

On top of that, his Magic stat had finally passed 50.

Now I can use Watchguard of Darkness properly. The skill required a crazy amount of magic.

Of course, he wouldnt be able to use it as hed had at his peak, but hed at least be able to use it at the level it was when hed first started out as Specter.

As he opened the door and left the room, Choi Pil-ho stood up from his seat right outside.

“Th-the treatment…” Hearing the trembling in his voice, Seo Jun-ho gave him a bright smile.

“It went well.

The disease is cured, and there wont be any side effects either.”

“……Urk.”

There was nothing else he needed to say.

President Choi Pil-ho couldnt form the words.

He simply gripped Seo Jun-hos hands as his tears fell.

The gratitude spilled from his touch, hitting him like a wave.

“Please, go in.”

“Really… Im really thank… Sniff……”

Crying like a child, Choi Pil-ho asked him to wait as he stepped inside.

 

 

 

Choi Pil-hos estate.

Seo Jun-ho sat on the sofa opposite the President.

“Really, truly, thank you,” he said once again.

His complexion was much brighter after checking on Choi Sun-hee.

“I just did what I had to.”

“No.

Technically speaking, you were only contracted to bring me the core.

You could have demanded me to write up a separate contract and reward for the treatment itself.”

It was true.

But Seo Jun-ho hated the dirty feeling of making money with others lives on the line.

“Ive been thinking a lot in this short span of time about how I could possibly repay you.” Choi Pil-ho looked up at him with warm, grateful eyes.

Seo Jun-ho glanced away, feeling pressured by his gaze.

“At first, I considered giving you more money… But I remembered that when we first made the contract, you didnt seem like the type of person whod want that.”

“I feel like my finances are stable enough.” Seo Jun-ho already enjoyed luxuries that money both could and couldnt buy.

For him, money was something that was nice to have and something he could always earn if he didnt.

“So Ive decided.

One time.” Choi Pil-ho raised an index finger.

“One… time”

“If you ever need our help, the Myungho Group will do everything in our power to assist you that one time.”

Only once.

It seemed cheap.

But Seo Jun-ho tried to imagine what he could do with their power.

……No, it would be quicker if I considered the opposite. 

Rather than what they could do, it was faster to list what they couldnt. The Myungho Group was Koreas number 1 company.

They also had one particular weapon in a specific field.

A guild.

The Scarlet Tower. 

The guild whose leader was Choi Pil-hos eldest son.

People called it a nation of players, ranking as the top 5 guild in Korea.

Ill be able to call them up as reinforcements when I really need them. Overwhelmed by the thoughts of his reward, Seo Jun-ho bowed his head lightly.

“Ill make sure to use it carefully so as to not harm the Myungho Groups reputation.”

“Hahaha, just give me the word.

Youre our familys savior.” Choi Pil-ho gave a generous look.

“Then, how about we have a meal together We missed it last time.”

“Of course.”

“Your secretary should come too.” Seo Jun-ho was hungry and didnt refuse.

It was the best meal hed had after being freed from the ice.

 

* * *

 

Cha Si-eun wouldnt stop repeating herself after they returned to the Association.

“The doctor said you should rest… At least four days… Dont do any strenuous exercises… Understand”

“I said I got it.

But Secretary Cha should go home early today too.

Youve worked hard since early in the morning.”

“……Really”

“Of course.” As he nodded, her face brightened a bit.

“Th-then… Ill go home early and spend some time reading.”

“You like to read”

“The old scholars would say that books hold the secrets of the world.” To think that she would voluntarily spend her free time studying; she really was a model student.

Deok-gu kept praising her as an elite, after all.

“I hope you enjoy your reading, then.”

“Thank you.

Ill see you tomorrow.

And Ill just say this one more time…”

“Ill rest for at least four days and not do any strenuous exercises.”

“Wow, youve memorized it.

Ill see you tomorrow.”

Seo Jun-ho watched her leave blankly with a satisfied look on his face.

“……Why does everyone nag me so much” Were the people around him just like that Or was he himself the problem He shook his head as he went up to the Associations executive office.

“Oh!” Deok-gu exclaimed as he saw him.

He grinned as he patted Seo Jun-hos shoulder.

“I just got off a call with Choi Pil-ho.

I heard she made a full recovery.

He was really happy.”

“He wouldnt stop smiling.”

“Thats great.

Howre you feeling”

“Im fine.

My muscles are just a bit sore.”

“……Did they give you an elixir or something”

“Thats what I thought, but they said they didnt.”

“Your bodys amazing.” The two sat down on the sofa as they talked.

“The press is a mess right now.

Theyre calling every few seconds, asking when youll be free to give interviews.”

“Interviews…… Tsk, thats annoying.

I held a press conference not long ago.”

“That was for Leufs Garden, but this time, you defeated the Cinder Fox.

Arent you starting to realize how great your feats are”

“Its so annoying……” When Shim Deok-gu saw how serious he was about it, he spoke with a wave of his hand.

“Then just ditch it.

Just do what you did in the past.”

“In the past”

“Unless its really important, dont do interviews at all…… You know, themysterious concept.”

Seo Jun-ho considered this, then nodded.

“I wont go all the way, but Ill pass this time.

Theyd probably ask really basic, simple questions, and I dont want to waste my precious time.”

“Alright.

Ill take care of it.”

“Thanks.

Oh, and……” Seo Jun-ho took out the Cinder Foxs core from his inventory.

The temperature in the room suddenly shot up, and Shim Deok-gu frowned as he loosened his tie.

“Hey, its hot.

What is that”

“The Cinder Foxs core.”

“……”

Shim Deok-gu looked between Seo Jun-ho and the core with a confused look.

“What It gave you two”

“Hey, the core isnt a ramen soup packet.

It only gave me one.”

(TN: Hes saying that the core doesnt drop by accident.

It sounds funnier in Korean lol)

“What But Choi Pil-hos daughter made a full recovery…”

“I didnt use the core for that.”

Crackle. 

As he activated the Frost skill, the temperature went down again.

Shim Deok-gu looked happy as he tightened his necktie again.

“Ah, thats nice.

Youre lucky.

You can save money on your electricity bills during the summer.”

“Pfft. Anyways, I cured Choi Sun-hee with the Frost skill.

I absorbed all the Yin energy from the disease.” Shim Deok-gu tilted his head.

“……Is that possible”

“Yeah, it worked.

It even raised my Magic stat.”

“Damn, you really can use that skill for anything.”

Shim Deok-gu looked momentarily bored, but his eyes flashed as he realized something.

“Hold on.

Does that mean you can absorb items with Yin energy”

Smart dude. 

Seo Jun-ho grinned.

Hed been thinking the same thing.

“Why else would I mention it”

“Aha. You want me to find those items for you.” He snorted as if annoyed, but he didnt look mad.

“Thanks.

Theres a problem, though.

The diseases energy level was only Intermediate, and it only raised my Magic by five.”

“Hm. Nine Yin Severance Syndrome is so potent that modern medicine cant even touch it… but its only Intermediate-level That means most items wont even trigger the message.”

“Theres one more thing.” Shim Deok-gu raised his hands, surrendering to Seo Jun-hos continuous demands.

“Ah, yes, yes~ Your wish is my command, Seo Jun-ho-nim.”

“I want to know if Watchguard of Darkness is able to absorb things too.”

“……Of course.

It would be good to know.”

Skills with specific attributes were rare.

And Seo Jun-ho was the only player who had attribute skills that were S- and EX-rank.

That meant he had no other choice but to do the research himself.

Shim Deok-gu considered this for a moment before nodding.

“Alright.

Ill look for items you can use while you go look in the Market.” Of course, he wasnt talking about the neighborhood supermarket.

He was talking about the global Player Market.
