After leaving the Lizard Marsh Dungeon, Irmana’s blessing didn’t apply, so I couldn’t feel a colorless big change in the stats I gained from the job change.

‘Even if I hit all the stats, I can’t get just one of Irmana’s blessings. A blessing is really great…’

I thought about whether I could continue to receive blessings. If it’s a characteristic that applies when the body is wet, wouldn’t it be okay to fix a kettle from another world on top of your head? Water dripping over your head.

‘…… The visuals are not what I’m talking about. No matter how much I am a skeleton, the look is important. Still, I’ll have to try it out to see if it applies.’

Or should I go up to the level where I can use water-attribute magic to create rain.

‘That will take a while.’

Now that you have obtained the achievement [Adversary of Orcs], You will be able to demonstrate much stronger abilities than you do now when dealing with orcs.

‘Where should I put the accumulated stats on the ability level… My strength has increased because of the giant’s rune, so considering that, I put them up really evenly.’

A job character usually refers to a character whose upbringing has been ruined, but according to general standards, I was seriously ruined.

But now I had to change my mind. I plan to grow as an all-rounder, and the abilities I gained while changing jobs will make that possible.

‘Looking at it like this, my HP and recovery are a bit low…’

No matter how much Irmana’s lake water replenished mana three times, there had to be a certain amount of recovery in preparation for a long-term battle. Needless to say, stamina is shared with Yeonhee.

In the end, I had to raise them all, but if I had to prioritize them right now, the number one priority would be magic power.

It took a long time to think about it, but the action was immediate.

Hmm… Let’s go like this.

I looked at it for a while after I finished allocating the ability points.

‘Still, thanks to the bone armor, I’m glad I have more agility.’

After investing in my stats and distributing my stats, I got up to adapt to my changed body.

‘Hmm… My body has changed very uncomfortably. Is this monster skin?’

As if the space between the bones that had been empty before was filled with monster skin, something with a dark gray texture was filling it up.

The sharp thorns that penetrated the bones left traces extending outwards all over the arms and legs, as if they acted not only inside but also outside.

Tup-

‘Oops, your face has subtly changed too? What’s wrong with your mouth!’

I hurriedly checked my face to see if my already scary face had become more ugly.

Empty eyes and nose narrowed a little, but there was no big difference, and the top of the head was still the same, but the upper and lower teeth were stuck together in a shape like stretched cheese.

‘Wouldn’t this… Make Yeon-hee goosebumps?’

“Clack!”

Still, when I tried to make a crackling sound, it naturally fell off and formed the shape of my teeth. Although it has very sharp teeth.

‘Well, that’s good. There is no problem with the function.’

In the first place, teeth didn’t exist to make a ‘thick’ sound, but I was satisfied with that.

‘…… No, is this correct? Just thinking about it makes me mad. Did I have my mouth sewn up to mean that I will not even dream of speaking in the future?’

Emotions soared at the moment, but how to live positively to grow as a person.

‘If you stay still, the middle will go.’

I removed my hand from my face and touched the coils underneath it.

It was a gliding cape that I wore on my back to take Yeon-hee out of the canyon at any time, and it was wrapped around my neck like a huge scarf.

‘If I cover my face, I might be treated like a human in a dungeon.’

From noble mtl dot com

I shook my head and checked the changed abilities.

First of all, from the senses to the maximum…

Ugh-

‘It must be somewhere between 200… 210 Meters. The efficiency has definitely gone up.’

Having learned the limit distance of the wavelength by expanding and narrowing the range several times, I withdrew my senses and looked at other parts.

However, there were no tangible changes as the other numbers were areas that had already been reached closely. Rather, there was something else to check.

‘A great sword… A great sword… There is no great sword.’

Unfortunately, I took out a cheap spear dropped by one of the Blue Eyes gang members who chased after us from the inventory.

Imagine a virtual man of the same height as me and cast [Flame Slash].

Shhh-!

……

‘One more time.’

[Flame Slash]

Seeek-!

……?

Even if I tried to wield it with more concentration while using the skill, there was no visible effect. I was expecting something like the cool flames around the sword…

‘I have to cut myself to see the effect…’

There are many abilities like that, so I ignored it and walked back to the door.

Hwaruk-

‘Huh?’

At that moment, it seemed that the back was slightly brighter, so I turned around, but all I could see was darkness.

‘Hmm… I haven’t confirmed the effect, but looking at the loss of mana, it’s definitely working… The problem is that there is a [Fireball] In the condition that triggers the [Flame Explosion].’

How to create skills that do not exist? Even magic…

It is said that ordinary wizards have an innate affinity for mana, so they expand the branch of magic on their own without learning from anyone.

Magic is the ability to control mana inside the body and mana outside the body, convert it into magical power, and implement it according to certain rules.

‘So what about me?’

It says that the possibility of fire and rock attribute magic is open, but I had no idea how to make that possibility a reality.

It felt different from when I was dealing with the skeleton bombs I got while changing jobs or the low-level flame bullets I stole and used.

‘Is this why it’s described as a deformed mage’s path?’

It’s only now that I realize that my sense of orthodox magic is lagging behind. It’s only natural that I’ve lived my whole life as a guide, but it’s only when I’m human that I’m bound by common sense.

Do you think the impossible is possible for a skeleton that has returned to the past?

The fundamental perception itself is different.

‘Enough. Let’s draw an image.’

First of all, a flaming sphere the size of a round baseball… Similar to a low-grade flamethrower…

Whoa-

‘Haaa!!’

‘Hey! hahahaha!!’

‘Ohhh, is this the magician’s sense of using Fireball?!’

Is a horn!

I tried drawing images dozens of times and using magic, but all I got back was a desolate silence.

(Giggles…)

I think I can hear laughter from somewhere as if they are laughing at me…

‘Why don’t you shut up? I’m serious.’

(········)

It is true that I am crazy. The hallucinations are getting worse. The life of a skeleton is quite satisfying, but why is it like this? Could it be that I was a madman in my previous life in the first place?

‘Should I look for myself on the world line now? Brings back fragmented or faded memories… Really? Why didn’t you ever think of that? Of course you think we’ll meet next year? But if you meet me in this world, another event might happen. If you’re lucky, I might give you some kind of achievement.’

I focused on training again, thinking that I should look into it when the opportunity arises.

‘Burning ball… Ball-shaped fire… Fire first or ball first. Ah-oh! This really doesn’t make sense.’

I lay down on the floor and surrendered myself to the darkness. Now, this darkness, where you can’t even see an inch ahead, feels like a cozy blanket.

It’s undead, so it’s natural in a way.

‘Isn’t this…’

Actually, when I wielded the sword, there was something strangely fun that made my heart race even with simple repetitions, but this only made my head hurt.

‘I think it’s difficult because I think it’s creating something new… Since the system said it’s walking the path of a mage, there’s definitely a connection… Hmm-‘

Skull Bomb, Obez’s Blessing, Lesser Flame Bomb

I only used 3 abilities related to fire. I’ll have to believe it

I immediately sat down and made a skull bomb.

Pogagak Pogak-

A skull bomb with thorns protruding here and there. Even if it looks like this, knowing that the degree of completion is very high, I smiled naturally.

I tried detonating the bomb with the bomb still in my hand.

Quaang-!

‘Hmm-‘

The moment it exploded, I put my face in it and observed it. Of course, it’s my skill, so if I don’t put my will to attack, I won’t take damage.

‘Isn’t this a fireball in a way?’

It was an idea that came to my mind while observing the moment of explosion right in front of my eyes. Wouldn’t it be too hard to maintain a round shape?

If the fire is round or all three, as long as it has an effect, what else is important?

‘Okay. For now, just implementing fire…’

Simplifying the work gave me a new interest, and I continued to take on the challenge again, raising my concentration.

“Ah really- I don’t have to be so depressed. Huh?”

As Helen tried to soothe Yeon-hee, who was gripped by a depression she had never seen before, cold sweat broke out on her face.

Chii Ik-

The meat is smoked on the grill, but somehow Yeonhee didn’t put a single piece in her mouth.

“Sister, how do you end your business today?”

Miran Woo, the owner of this meat restaurant and Helen’s younger brother, asked as she put a plate full of rolled omelette on the table.

Helen glanced around her shop. She was in a small shop with only seven tables, and there was only one table of customers besides her party. Even the guests were preparing to leave soon.

“If they fall out, let’s lower the shutters.”

Upon hearing Helen’s words, Umi Ran nodded her head as she wiped her wet hand on her apron.

This is a food alley not too far from the Lizard Marsh Dungeon. There are many restaurants, so it is a place that not only hunters who have completed dungeon subjugation, but also ordinary people visit.

This street, which is usually full of customers and waiting in long lines, was very quiet today.

“I guess I should have just rested…”

After paying for the last remaining customers, Mi-Ran Woo said as she walked to the door of the store.

“Hmm…”

The hunters sitting at the table nodded slightly and silently moved only the meat to their mouths.

Hunters had a culture where, on the day of a major accident in any dungeon, it was a virtue to gather with their colleagues and talk loudly. It is said that it is for the dead, but in fact, it is an established theory that the old-generation hunters have only brought about the funeral culture because they do not want to be disturbed from having a dinner after finishing.

And today was also the last day of Yeonhee with the Helen Combi, and I also had a desire to have a meal with my colleagues who crossed limbs together.

Helen brought them all to her sister’s restaurant for those reasons, but she felt sorry that Yeon-hee was downcast, so she wondered if she was a little overreacting.

A total of 6 people were sitting at the table, and unexpectedly Noh Ha-yoon and Bae Joo-a were also there.

After a while, after breaking the long silence, Yeonhee opened her mouth.
