I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy

Episode 3. Darkness (2)

Baek Woo-jin felt a strong stimulation, like electricity.

There was no pain at all and only the joy of flying.

I got up and checked my body. I tried shaking my fist and jumping around in place.

“It’s changed…”

I can tell because I used my body just now. My body has definitely changed.

“Status window.”

“It really went up.”

My body size, which was 11, became 12, and my stamina, which was 12, became 13. Not just the senses, but the actual ability levels were rising.

These quests and systems were real.

The ability to become stronger as you put in effort was something I had hoped for every day for the past 25 years.

-How did this happen…?

Unlike Baek Woo-jin, who was happy, Heuk-am was very embarrassed. It was expected that his abilities would increase only if he trained until tomorrow night, but Baek Woo-jin raised his abilities just by running for half a day.

-What…

Darkness’s excessive training in an attempt to control Baek Woo-jin’s discipline turned out to be luck.

“You don’t know why my abilities have increased?”

-That’s it…

“You’re not in control of this quest, are you?”

When I saw the state of darkness, I roughly understood what was going on. This quest and darkness seem to be separate entities.

“Tell me honestly.”

-Well, one of my roles is to connect you to the quest system.

“Are you saying you will act as an antenna and connect me with the quest giver?”

-similar.

“Then who is giving me the quest?”

-I do not know either.

A sigh full of bitterness flowed from the mouth of darkness. It was a sound that made you feel dispirited, as if you were trapped in the dark.

-My first memory began when I was created. From then on, I knew many sword techniques and training methods, but I had no memory of myself except for one thing.

“What is that one?”

-I remember when I was originally human. I don’t know if I’m on the same level as you, but I was also a human with black hair like you.

“I see…”

Baek Woo-jin nodded heavily. I couldn’t even imagine what would happen to allow a human soul to enter the sword.

-You also have something strange.

“what?”

-I feel a strange level of resentment towards you. No matter how talented you are, what I feel from you is not that of a 15-year-old.

“Hmm…”

-I’ve met quite a few masters, but you were the first to raise my abilities beyond the limit from the beginning.

Baek Woo-jin felt a similar but different sense of kinship with Heuk-am. It didn’t seem much different from himself, who worked harder than anyone else but was not rewarded, and darkness, who was trapped by the sword without any proper memories.

“You can keep a secret, right?”

Baek Woo-jin decided to tell the darkness that he had returned.

-You’re talking stupid. I can only see you and only talk to you, so who am I supposed to keep secrets from?

“That’s right. Since you told me a secret, it would be right for me to tell you mine too. Actually, I also found out today…”

Baek Woo-jin sat down and told Heuk-am about his life.

Living with shame on his family, he couldn’t even meet his father properly.

He was beaten by his brothers without even being treated like a younger brother.

Something that was ignored by the knights of the family.

He was kicked out of his house after losing his tendons and aura.

Worked for a year and practiced with my left hand.

Lastly, while saving the children, he was killed by an ogre and returned. told me everything

-…

Darkness didn’t say anything for a while. Baek Woo-jin stopped in front of his eyes as if he were grasping his true intentions.

-It’s true.

“okay. “I returned today and met you as soon as I woke up.”

-This is the first time I’ve heard of regression. Among my masters there was no one like you.

“Maybe they lied?”

-impossible. Because our souls are connected like you and I, we can tell when the other person is lying.

Baek Woo-jin nodded. This is because he too could tell whether darkness was telling the truth or lying when it spoke.

-So there was such evil and gangsterism. Anyway, you are a great guy too. Holding a sword with your left hand even though the tendon in your right hand was torn…

“If other people didn’t have talent like me, they would have given up long ago and lived an ordinary life. “In some ways, persistence is a good thing, but in other ways, it’s not enough.”

-Then what is your goal?

“target?”

-Didn’t I gain a new me that wasn’t there in my previous life? Is there anything you can think of as a goal?

Many things passed through my mind at the words of darkness.

Defeat my father, become the head of the Shingeombaek family, and overthrow this damn family. Save the world from being eaten by monsters. Go beyond the level 10 swordsman and become a master.

Baek Woo-jin’s thoughts ultimately come down to one thing.

Becoming stronger.

It was all something that could be done only by becoming stronger.

“there is.”

-what?

“To become a stronger prosecutor than anyone else in the world.”

-Hmm!

Darkness let out a satisfied laugh. Baek Woo-jin’s answer was something he liked.

-This is the answer I like. If you are the owner of this body, you should be like that.

“Can I do it?”

-It depends on what you do. However, such a goal is impossible unless it is achieved.

“I’m ready to go crazy. No, I’m already crazy. ”

-tsk tsk.

Darkness’s voice became a little softer than before. By sharing each other’s secrets, a little intimacy developed.

-Then get up.

The darkness exploded with a black aura and shook its body.

-You’ve had enough rest, so run again!

**

Baek Woo-jin had been maintaining a strange symbiosis with darkness for a month already.

As his abilities increased, the intensity of his training in darkness became stronger, so every day was so difficult that he died.

-Did you put gum on the soles of your feet? Run faster!

“You’re running!”

Heuk-am, who was exposed to modern culture through smartphones and TV, even used the newly learned words and nagged Baek Woo-jin.

-Faster! Not at full speed yet!

“Ugh….”

As the darkness said, it was very lucky that my abilities increased on the first day. From that day on, my abilities rose more slowly than I thought.

Still, through consistent efforts, I raised my physical strength to 15 and my body to 14. If nothing happens, your body will rise to level 15 in a few days and you will be able to clear the first quest.

-Run with the thought of raising your physical abilities to 15 within today! One more lap!

Even though he said that, Darkness thought there was no way his abilities would increase today. According to his calculations, Baek Woo-jin will be able to complete the quest in about 3 days.

That is also very fast compared to his previous owners.

-good. That’s all for today.

Two hours later, Heukam told him to stop training, but Baek Woojin did not stop his legs. I was thinking of finishing it today.

“Aaaah!”

I got excited and increased my speed even more with all my might. Baek Woo-jin’s speed was faster than when he first started running.

-You crazy bastard! stop!

Despite the call of darkness, Baek Woo-jin continued to run without answering.

-The madman’s lid has been opened again…”

I thought I must have lost my temper because I had been following instructions so well, but that wasn’t the case. It must have been dormant inside.

It is not something a person would do to sprint faster than before when all of his stamina has been used up.

But Baek Woo-jin had already been running for 20 minutes.

This is a guy who stays strong even when he turns around.

“Hehehe!”

Baek Woo-jin stopped his legs only after 30 minutes had passed from the moment the darkness told him to stop.

As I lay down on the ground, the sky was looking yellow.

-You bastard with shit on your head! You almost died! Breathe slowly!

“Oh, I’m going to raise my physical ability to 15 today…”

– That’s what they said. you idiot! There’s still a long way to go to hit 15! If you push yourself like that…

ding!

The moment the darkness was about to nag Baek Woo-jin again, a clear sound rang in their ears.

[Physical stats increase by 1 due to extreme training.]

[Physical stats increase by 1 due to extreme training.]

[Physical recovery speed is 5 times faster.]

Ding!

[Obtain the title ‘There are trainees who ignore trainers?’]

The effects of the title are applied multiple times. .]

-…What are you?
