Skill monopolization up to floor 666 Episode 007
7. Transcendence Net
“Ah, f*ck! You surprised me.”
Even at the sight of the guy sweeping my chest, my expression didn’t change.
I’m not feeling so good right now.
But I guess it was the same for that guy.
“Were you following me? This is ridiculous.”
“What were you talking about earlier?”
“What are you talking about? A part-time job as a herder? Why? Are you suddenly interested?”
I gave a different answer than expected to the guy who was showing off his colors.
“Other than that, what you said earlier? You were just going to throw me into the labyrinth, was that something like that?”
Huiyong’s face hardened as if he realized why I was angry.
Damn it.
slowly.
Damn it.
I walked, glaring at the guy.
He flinched as if he was intimidated by the atmosphere, but that only lasted for a moment.
“Ha, f*ck.”
I guess he must have remembered that I’m a normal person because I straightened my shoulders.
“Yeah, I tried to put it in, I’ll admit it. But what was that? Whatever.”
“… … .”
“I made you a helpful suggestion. Instead of living like a loner, wouldn’t it be better for you to go into a labyrinth and do something to help humanity survive?”
“But you shouldn’t say that to your friend.”
“Friend? Ha… haha!”
He bursts out in laughter, apparently taken aback.
“You’ve thought of me as your friend all this time? Heh heh, you idiot. Do you really think a loser like you can be friends with me? Seriously? You and I are on the same level?”
As expected, when you reach a dead end, your true feelings come out.
Clang!
The alley was filled with blades aimed at me.
The main skill of the Blade Reaper is ‘Scattered Blades’.
“If I put my mind to it, it wouldn’t be a problem to just beat you up. Do you still think we’re on the same level?”
“no.”
“Okay. Now I know what you’re talking about….”
“It makes me feel bad to be treated like trash like you.”
Now it’s time to try it out.
How well does skill duplication work?
‘Skill Duplication.’
[Since the target only has one skill, it will attempt to duplicate it immediately.]
[The skill ‘Scattered Blades’ has been copied.]
▷Flying Blades (A)
-Effect: Create multiple blades and control them freely. The higher the magic power, the more blades are created.
Clang!
As I used my skill, more blades than the guy surrounded the alley.
Lee Hwi-yong opens his eyes wide.
“Uh, how….”
“You use the same skills as me? Well, I’m an apostle too.”
“You said you were a normal person!”
“That’s a lie, you idiot.”
“이… 개새끼가….”
He was shaking with anger at being deceived.
And then.
“Die! X-Pal!”
First, move the blade.
Kakang! Kakang!
I too moved my blade and struck the bastard’s blade away.
Blades that disappear when they collide.
In an instant, his blades disappeared, leaving only a few of mine.
My magic power is higher, so this is the remaining blade.
“This is how you handle a blade, little one.”
Phew!
“Kwaaak!”
One of the blades was stuck into the bastard’s thigh at my will.
“There are still many blades.”
“Hey, wait a minute… Uh, we’re friends, right? Okay?”
“Yeah, we’re friends.”
“haha….”

“A friend like X.”
“… … .”
Whirl! Boom!
“Kkakhahak!”
It was also embedded in the other thigh.
dump!
The guy who fell backwards is trembling.
Since the apostle has regenerative powers, he won’t die like this.
“If you thought of me as a friend, you shouldn’t have offered me a part-time job as a herder.”
“I, I’m sorry… .”
“Okay, the 5 million won you borrowed from me. Send it to me right now. Including interest.”
“… … .”
“Ah. If you take out the money for alcohol, I’ll die?”
Huiyong nodded and quickly sent the money to his cell phone.
[Deposit 6,000,000 won]
Upon confirmation, the summoned blade was released.
“I’m glad this is the end of it. I was originally going to gouge out your eyes.”
“… … .”
“It was dirty, let’s never see each other again?”
“… Yeah.”
I left the alley, leaving the quiet puppy behind. * * *
As I walked away from him, a message came to me.
[Skill ‘Scattered Blades’ disappears.]
I stopped walking and measured the distance between me and Lee Hwi-yong.
‘The intersection is 30m.’
Since I stabbed him in the thigh, he probably can’t move yet.
The calculation is accurate.
‘The skills that were copied because they were invisible to the eye did not disappear.’
That means the skill will be maintained as long as you are nearby, even if it is not in sight.
However, the short range of 30m is a problem.
‘I guess I can maximize my effectiveness by working with as many colleagues as possible.’
So you chose the 12 apostles and formed an attack force?
But I have no intention of moving according to the will of the three gods.
I’m going to somehow remove the penalty for skill duplication and monopolize it all for myself.
‘There are no companions in this life.’ * * *
I returned home and sat down in a state of devotion.
‘We still have to wait a little longer before it’s midnight.’
I plan to do the lottery that I’ve been putting off for the remaining time.
‘Inventory.’
The square inventory opened, revealing three items inside.
The first clear reward was a random skill book, random lucky bag, and weapon selection ticket.
‘First, the random skill book.’
What skills will come out?
After taking out the item, shout ‘use’.
[Use random skill book (F)]
The skill book disappeared with the light and a message appeared.
[The skill ‘Upward Swing (F)’ has been released. Congratulations!]
Only F-grade skills appear in the F-grade skill book.
I didn’t expect anything good to come out of it in the first place.
‘But I never thought it would be something else.’
As expected of an F-class, the effect was simple.
▷Upward kick (F)
-Effect: Raises the weapon and strikes.
A simple skill that raises the weapon and strikes.
It is worthy of being called F-class, which means “bad grade”.
Because you can strike down and strike up without any skill.
‘That’s why it’s called trash skill… .’
I know the strength of this skill.
‘It’s hard to hit back up because of the inertia when you hit it down. But what if you use this skill in the middle?’
You can change the course of your sword by stopping suddenly.
Then what if I use this skill while cutting horizontally?
‘You can change the sword path as if you were taking a sharp curve.’
In short, if you use it well, you can use a variety of swordsmanship techniques.
‘I didn’t expect it at all, but it turned out to be a pretty good skill.’
Now that you’ve checked your skills, it’s time to open your lucky bag.
I memorized the commands, wondering what would come out.
‘use.’
[Use the random lucky bag (F)]
[You have obtained the item ‘Elixir of Slightly Weak Agility (F)’. Congratulations!]
‘The elixir came out?’
[Potion of slightly weak agility (F)]
-Category: Consumables
-Effect: Permanently increases Agility by 2
-Usage restrictions: Apostles who have conquered more than 1 floor
-Description: An elixir that permanently strengthens the body. Only apostles who have cleared at least one floor of the labyrinth can use it.
This is an unexpected harvest.
Increases stats by 2.
‘More than the stats received as a general reward or initial reward.’
I was lucky.
‘use.’
As I held it in my hand and used it, the elixir broke and a pure white energy was absorbed into my body.
[I used a slightly weak agility potion.]
[Agility increases by 2.]
Now all that remains is the choice of weapon.
[Use Weapon Selection (F)]
[Choose one of the following weapons.]
└ 1. Toothless sword
└ 2. Rusty Dagger
└ 3. Old window
You cannot carry weapons into the labyrinth.
Personal belongings are allowed, but weapons are prohibited.
However, items obtained from the labyrinth are an exception.
Amon, the designer of the labyrinth, decided so.
‘They’re playing with us humans.’
Just like you would put insects in an insect box and look at them, Amon would be looking at them too.
The sight of humans struggling to conquer a labyrinth.
‘All three are pieces of trash that I don’t like…’
I picked one because it was better than no weapon.
Through the window.
[‘Old and Worn-out Window (F)’ will be issued.]
[Items acquired are stored in your inventory.]
The reason I chose the window is simple.
Because the weapon I used in the past was a spear.
‘But when I reached the 180th floor, the three gods forced me to change to a sword. They said that a hero must carry a sword.’
At the same time, he gave sacrifice skills to help him turn into a tanker.
The spear is not a weapon that goes well with tanks, so they must have been trying to trick us with plausible words.
‘I’ve had regrets ever since. I wish I had polished my spear more.’
But then this opportunity came.
Tap on the window in your inventory.
Tsutsuzu―
A window appears with a refraction phenomenon and fits snugly in your hand.
Phew! Phew!
I swung it around and recalled the feelings of the past.
‘This is killing me.’
A spear is a piercing weapon, but it also has the fun of swinging it.
Here, the upward kick skill was used to change the orbit.
Phew! Whoosh! Whoosh! Swish!
Although it was a window that was so old that it wouldn’t have been surprising if it broke at any time… .
‘Because the reality is that even this doesn’t exist.’
I am in no position to complain.
Rather, he is leading the way ahead of others.
Thousands of steps ahead.
‘It’s getting close to midnight.’
57 minutes, 58 minutes, 59 minutes… .
00:00.
24 hours after the labyrinth opened.
Pfft!
A message appeared before my eyes.
It was a message visible only to the awakened.
[The Apostolic Community ‘Transcendence Net’ has opened.]
[You can access Transcendence Net by touching the menu next to the status window.]
I checked the status window and saw that a Transcendence Net button had appeared.
When I pressed it, a screen like an Internet site appeared and a virtual keyboard appeared below it.
Unless you’re a fool, there’s no one who doesn’t know how to use it.
‘Now apostles from all over the world can post here.’
Everyone will be curious.
For what purpose was a community created that only the apostles could see?
The reason was simple.
‘Let’s conquer the labyrinth by fighting each other, that’s what I’m saying.’
It is possible to conquer the level solo now, but later on, you will come across sections that are difficult without a party.
At that time, I was able to use the Transcendence Net to communicate and find party members.
In the past, it was also used for information exchange and socializing.
‘That’s what Transcendence Net is for.’
There are few posts now, but soon there will be a flood of posts.
Because it was a large community used by tens of millions of apostles around the world.
‘Of course, you can reduce inconvenience by specifying the way you view posts by country.’
Currently, the setting is automatically set to South Korea.
I only see posts by Koreans.
<What is this? Transcendence Net?>
<Testing to see if the post actually goes up>
<Is it okay to write like this?>
<Guys, how do you use Transcendence Net?>
<Why was this feature created?>
<Are all the people here apostles?>
<What do you get for writing?>
As I watched the articles coming up quickly, I also wrote a post.
However, the content was not ordinary.
‘I’m posting here. Information and strategies for previous levels.’
Since the title defense period has not yet ended, the 1st floor strategy is excluded.
Instead, let’s write down the missions and strategies for floors 2 through 9 in detail.
Knock knock.
I wrote by typing on a virtual keyboard floating in the air.
If you upload a strategy, many people will be helped and survive… .
‘I’m not posting this with such naive thoughts.’
Articles that receive a lot of views on Choewonnet are listed as best.
The best posts will be displayed at the top and can attract more traffic.
If you look at it that way.
‘You become a named person. Later, you will also gain the ability to manage the bulletin board of Choewonnet.’
In other words, invisible experience points accumulate and your authority as a manager increases.
Think about it.
Every time I post something, I get responses from people who pay attention to what I say.
‘If you become a manager here and gain the ability to manage posts, your influence will be considerable.’
[Amon’s post has been registered.]
‘Okay, I’ve registered the strategy with this… .’
Should we move on to the 10th floor now?
