Valentin Schneider.
In his previous life, he was a talented person who had a monopoly on all major issues in Europe.
To use a metaphor, he was a much more famous player than Sang-Hyeon, who is currently receiving a lot of attention in Korea, China, and Japan.
The reason Sang-Hyeon reacted so strongly to the name was because of his actions after remembering Valentin.
‘Constellation Predator.’
That name is disgusting every time I think about it and chew on it. It’s the Constellation Predator. Valentin was the Predator.
Since a player with outstanding talent became a Constellation Predator, it was obvious what would happen next.
He becomes a headache for ten years, along with another notorious constellation predator, Luca Viole.
however.
The first turning point that led to explosive growth was the conquest of the Blood Tower.
If things go as planned in my past life, it will be a few days from now.
Valentin Schneider is the first in the world to clear the Blood Tower quest, while monopolizing all the rewards.
‘It’s like the Shinjuku Great Rift, and I feel like I’ve been given the role of preventing the dark future that’s coming.’
It wasn’t my intention, but that’s just the way things are going.
What if Valentin goes on a quest like this? He will grow like before and become a great villain.
‘There’s nothing else to compromise on, I can’t easily give a rosy future to a criminal bastard!’
Sang-Hyeon changed the plan.
After finishing the Labyrinth of Peace conquest, I was planning to go conquer the gate with Do Kyung-hye, but… … .
I was thinking of asking for understanding and postponing it for about two days. I also wanted to let the association know that I would like to carry out the quest.
“I just can’t sleep.”
Sang-Hyeon rubbed his heavy eyes and began to carefully send a text message to Lee Ga-Hee at dawn.
Now that you have a deep connection with her, it will be a little easier to access quests through her.
Moreover, since I wasn’t even level 200 yet, there was no problem at all with my eligibility to take on the challenge.
Inwardly, the players’ associations of each country are hoping that the first person to clear the Blood Tower quest will emerge.
Sang-Hyeon thought that this would be no different from the Korean Players Association.
* * *
The call with Lee Ga-hee ended quickly.
She said that the conversation would probably end without much difficulty. In fact, there had been no challengers so far.
She said that if Sang-Hyeon came forward, the association would save face and it would become an issue.
Anyway, after deciding to hear a reply within today, Sang-Hyeon recalled his memories of the labyrinth.
It was a journey into the past, with both eyes tightly closed and as if meditating.
Since when did it start?
Sang-Hyeon is confused as to whether he is sleeping or in deep thought.
I met an unexpected opponent.
A man with blond hair, blue eyes, and long flowing hair was walking towards Sang-Hyeon.
The two faced each other on a shallow, calm lake.
The lake was golden in color, as if it were covered in gold, and the sight was truly beautiful.
As Sang-Hyeon cautiously gazed at the blond man, a clear voice was heard from him.
“I took on human form to talk to you, but I am not such an insignificant being.”
At that moment.
Sang-Hyeon could sense exactly who he was even though he didn’t reveal his identity.
‘God of the Storm.’
No one but the divine being could say such things. Sang-Hyeon bowed his head respectfully.
“I greet you, Your Majesty.”
My thoughts of not wanting to be bound by the gods, past or present, have not changed.
But that doesn’t mean I have any intention of ignoring or being hostile to the divine throne. My will is simply firm.
The god of storms took a step back after closing the distance between himself and Sang-Hyeon. It was just the right distance.
“I’ve been thinking and worrying about you.”
“… … .”
Sang-Hyeon did not answer.
Because I thought that the thoughts, memories, and judgments of the Goddess were all contained in the words she spoke calmly.
“I also thought about your rudeness. Do you really think you are the kind of person who would dare make such a bold proposal to me?”
“I’m sorry, but that’s exactly what I wanted to say.”
“I know.”
“My thoughts remain the same even now. Even if you say I’m rude, I won’t change my mind.”
“I know that too. I’ve been quietly watching you all this time, and I felt something special about you that was different from others.”
“… … .”
“You clearly had the wisdom to see through the present to the future. It was too mysterious and divine to be attributed to an ordinary human being.”
“thank you.”
“I won’t ask what’s behind it. I want to know, but paradoxically, I won’t try to find out.”
The god of the storm left strange words.
Are you aware that you have regressed, but you don’t want to make it public?
I can’t ask him directly, so I’ll just assume, but given the context, there’s plenty of room to think that way.
The storm god continued speaking.
“I will also accept your bold and arrogant words. However, on the condition that you accept one condition.”
“Please tell me.”

“When death comes to you, I will take everything you have. Your life, your soul, and even your constellation.”
[The arrogant empress of the West was deeply angry, saying that she had no intention of being defiled by the divine throne in that way… … .]
Sang-Hyeon put back the block on ‘The Arrogant Empress of the West’ that he had left open just in case.
I thought it would be pointless to let him talk since he wouldn’t say anything useful.
[Lady Luck believes in you and says you can do it well.]
[He says that he can offer himself as collateral to the Storm God as much as he wants. He says that he will not regret it.]
‘Goddess… … .’
Her heart-wrenching words gave Sang-Hyeon great strength.
Because it is no different from a declaration that you will share your fate with Sang-Hyeon until the end.
‘The privilege of being chosen by one of the gods and not being bound by them. This is something only I have.’
My heart was pounding.
You could also sense how carefully the Storm God made his decision at the end of the long battle.
The fate of being with a deity is on a different level from that of being with a constellation.
If the sponsor called ‘Seongjwa’ is a small and medium-sized enterprise, then the sponsor called ‘Shinjwa’ is like a multinational corporation.
“Answer me. Will you accept the conditions?”
“I will accept it.”
“Can you be sure that you won’t regret it?”
“Why should I regret my fate with the new throne?”
Sang-Hyeon answered concisely.
Of course, signing a contract with the God of Destiny doesn’t mean that everything will go smoothly. In fact, it’s just the beginning.
Because the divine seat grants divine power to the contractor according to strict standards.
Of course, when it gives you strength, it gives you so much strength that you could say it really pulls together your soul.
Until then, I look at the player’s condition like a very picky customer and make a cool-headed judgment.
“The moment you grasp this essence, the contract is made. The storm’s mark is engraved on your entire body through your palms.”
As soon as the Storm God finished speaking, a gray-colored essence activated in front of Sang-Hyeon.
It was exactly like seeing the colors of a whirlwind.
closely.
Sang-Hyeon gathered his will and grabbed the essence with all his might.
A tingling sensation spread from my palms to my entire body, and an indescribable sense of refreshment came over me.
and.
[An eternal contract has been made with the new god, the ‘God of Storms’.]
[The total number of Gods that can be contracted with players is currently ’36 Gods’.]
[At the request of the Divine Seat, no binding is exerted on the player. Additional contracts with the Constellation or Divine Seat are possible.]
“……thank you.”
That’s how the contract was made.
Just as the Goddess of Fortune had done, the Storm God decided not to ‘own’ the upper body alone.
“Enough with the awkward talk. For now, let me give you at least some plausible motivation.”
The Storm God’s grumbling words somehow sounded cute.
It would be better if you spoke to me gently and affectionately like the goddess of fortune. Is the weight of the throne something that cannot be helped?
“The skills I temporarily granted you are now yours. They will never disappear again.”
First of all, the descending airflow skill has become completely Sang-Hyeon’s.
Originally, it was a kind of taster to experience the power of the divine throne, but it became a permanent skill.
If you convert a skill like Downdraft into cash value, the skill book price would be at least 300 to 400 billion won.
Having that skill permanently passed on to me was in itself a huge cost savings.
“And I will instill in you the knowledge of the power of the wind. Then you will be even more useful.”
[As the divine power of the Goddess intervenes, the skill level of the skill ‘Downward Current’ immediately increases to level 5.]
“I’m crazy… … Ah, I’m sorry.”
It was the first time that Sang-Hyeon felt the power of divine power.
The power of the divine throne is to be able to intervene beyond the order of the system. Of course, it may not happen often.
『Downdraft』
■ Skill Level: Stage 5 (35.3%)
■ Skill Introduction: (……omitted)
After forcibly pulling the target down with a downward current, it activates two additional pressing powers.
The first force exerts a force five times greater than that of gravity, the second force exerts a force ten times greater.
“At this point, the guys who are floating above using aerial skills should just kiss the ground.”
The composition has completely changed to the point where it would be appropriate to say that the skills have been completely transformed.
If the existing downdraft felt like a strong bang hitting you from above your head.
Now, bang! Then, double and quadruple the weight and slam it down again.
With this level of vertical pressure, a normal person who is not a player would be crushed immediately upon being hit.
Before Sang-Hyeon could even finish his exclamation of admiration, he stuck out his tongue.
“Feel the unique power of the Storm God.”
The God of Storms gave Sang-Hyeon a new gift package. It was a new skill.
『Steel Storm』
■ Skill Level: Stage 1 (0.0%)
■ Skill Introduction: Creates a giant whirlwind that surrounds yourself, protecting you from attacks from the surrounding area.
While in Steel Tempest mode, you cannot move, but the range of the whirlwind expands over time.
The whirlwind sucks in projectiles flying around it, then scatters them in random directions.
Maintaining Steel Tempest costs 10 mana per second.
“Is this some kind of skill black hole?”
For a defensive skill, it had quite a bit of offensive potential.
Projectiles are ultimately magic skills or arrows, and this is because they can be absorbed.
That is, it is a structure that sucks in and rotates in a vortex, then bounces off using centrifugal force.
“This is so useful.”
A skill that can attack and defend at the same time. Steel Storm seems like it will be used a lot in the future.
Especially in multi-to-multi-battle situations, you can plant a ‘stake’ in the center of the battlefield without hesitation!
at that time.
“There’s still one more left.”
The gifts aren’t over yet.
Another skill that the Storm God gave to Sang-Hyeon.
『Whirlwind of Storms』
A skill with a knockback effect that is slightly more powerful than the knockback burst, as well as an excellent ability to create variables!
It was a whirlwind of activity.
