Chapter 217 – There Are No Eternal Secrets (3)
“Was that the reason why my authority with the lord was cut off…?”
It sounded as if many emotions were intersecting in Lien’s words. There seemed to be a hidden sense of relief at the fact that he didn’t abandon me because I disliked him or lost interest, and there also seemed to be a feeling of sadness at the fact that he lost connection with me for that reason.
“It wouldn’t matter if I played the game alone, but when I play with other people, jobs that aren’t that good are often ostracized by others. I didn’t want to abandon the martial arts that I raised with you, but I had to face reality and put you down for a while. “What started out as a change in rank is now the summoner profession that is now connected to Rhenia.”
“Ah… So, after Lien disappeared, I took over the power. And then, you continued to develop a character that was connected to me.”
I nodded at Renia’s words.
While I was looking for a new job in the Elion game, my hipster nature suddenly kicked in and I decided to choose a job that not many people were familiar with, becoming a summoner. From then on, the summoner became my main character.
“As I said before, after the martial arts profession connected to Lien went to the abyss, I started over again as time went by and the profession later changed for the better. The reason I didn’t abandon the martial arts profession was because I thought it would get better again someday. “No matter what, I had some affection for martial arts since it was the first profession I started properly. That’s why, unlike other characters, I kept it instead of deleting it. Fortunately, I think that’s why the power that was given to you didn’t disappear.”
No matter what, the balance of the game is bound to change organically. I didn’t even delete the character because I thought the martial arts profession would become a thing at some point. Also, since I had already paid for it at the time, it was a shame to delete it, which also played a role.
“So, can we just think that each of the jobs Jinu-nim chose has been passed on to us and that Jinu-nim’s power has been passed on to us? That’s so amazing!”
As Yuria said, there was no particular reason for the jobs I chose after summoner, but since it was a game, I mainly focused on jobs that looked fun. I have a bit of a hipster streak, and I think I chose Rogue, which is connected to Elsha, because it’s a job that not many people do.
“Among them, the Crusader, which is connected to Freyja, as you know, has a huge buff, so I raised it because it was a job that everyone had to train at least once, but I also raised it because it looked fun. I think you can all think of it as being chosen from that perspective. “
“The character chosen for fun by the owner is connected to us… Should I call this a coincidence and good luck?”
As Noah said, this can only be seen as a coincidence. I just enjoyed the game and playing the game helped everyone.
“So, to summarize, it goes like this. Jinu just played a game called Elion in the original world, and in the process, for unknown reasons, the character you were raising became connected to us, and the more we made the character grow, the more we went through the same process of growing. , Something like this.”
“Thanks for the precise explanation, Ellie. That’s exactly what you said.”
After I finished speaking, this time Lenia raised her hand. I thought there would be a lot of questions the moment I brought up this topic, but there were a ton of them. It’s not a situation you can’t understand. Because it is also an opportunity to learn more about what they call power.
“You said you would grow the characters connected to us, but how do you grow them? I thought all the equipment we have was made by Jinu, is that correct?”
“Now that I think about it, that’s right. These things were clearly created out of nothing and came down to us. I thought of course that these were given to me by Jinu.”
It’s equipment that everyone has… You could say that it’s something that my blood and sweat has soaked into.
“Oh, you could say that I gave it to you. In the game, those items are called items, and you can spend cash to make them more powerful. You can strengthen them, or give them additional magic to give them powerful effects. .”
There was a time when you didn’t give in to really vicious billing factors and hit your salary, maybe?
“And there is another way to grow you, a method you all know well. It’s the same way that a person’s skill level gradually increases through accumulated experience.”
“Is that… Really, Demon?”
Ellie answered correctly.
“That’s exactly right. In this game, you can grow your character with the items just mentioned, but that only strengthens the character’s external elements, and by fighting with demons, you become stronger internally. Characters have levels. “If I were to briefly explain it, would it be easier to understand if it were the character’s strength value?”
“Well, then! If you raise your level a lot, you’ll become stronger, right?”
Yuria’s smile never disappears from her face, as if what she has just said is very interesting. The other girls have complex and subtle facial expressions.
“So, when the characters connected to us catch a demon, they gain experience points and grow internally, and Jinunim gives them items to make them stronger externally, so they can fight and win against stronger demons. Then, they gain experience again. I gain it and become stronger.”
“It’s a pretty realistic system. We’ve certainly gained a lot of experience and grown while fighting demons. When I hear the story so far, I wonder if we’ve grown as the characters connected to us have grown.”
Renia said it was nothing special, but she couldn’t hide the subtle expression on her face, perhaps because she was surprised.
“But that growth is not infinite. There is a limit to internal growth, and that number was 100. You all have reached level 100, and the only difference is how powerful the equipment you have is now. Well, your job. The strength of each is slightly different, so even at the same level of 100, it cannot be said that they are equally strong. And because of that level of 100, we were not able to defeat Chaos Alcatraz this time.”
“Hmm… I guess we have to go higher than that level of 100 in order to defeat Chaos Alcatraz. Since there is no way to grow right now, you said that we should go back to our respective worlds, grow up, and then come back. Each of us. After we return to the original world, Jinu may be able to grow us again as Elion.”
“That’s right. Gaia said that since I came to this world for over 5 years, only about a year has passed in the world I’ve been living in. If that were the case, there would definitely have been changes in the Elion game. Especially if that Chaos Alcatraz appeared in the game. I guess it is. In that case, there will be a section where the characters in the game can grow so that they can defeat that Chaos Alcatraz, so we can use that to grow you further.”
I continued speaking, showing everyone my hand with two fingers pinned.
“One of the conditions for us to defeat Chaos Alcatraz is your growth as I just mentioned. By going to the original world and growing the game characters, you will grow together. However, it cannot be said that we can completely defeat Chaos Alcatraz with this alone. There is no. That’s why what I need to do when I go to the original world is to gather information about Chaos Alcatraz. If this much time has passed, the information about that guy will probably be out there as soon as it comes out. Even with a little research, I can’t figure out how to attack it in any way. “I can check in detail which areas are weak. My current goal is to check those as well and come back here.”
“It is definitely stronger than Demon so far… If Jinu-sama collects information about Chaos Alcatraz, I think we will be able to defeat Chaos Alcatraz much more easily than last time.”
Okay, I think I’ve explained everything about the current situation to everyone. Looking at everyone’s faces, it doesn’t seem like they don’t understand this situation, and I think we should move on as quickly as possible.
“Okay, then, let’s talk to Gaia and proceed to return to our respective worlds. As I said, the time in this world passes faster than the time in the world I live in, so I don’t have much time. I wonder what Chaos Alcatraz will look like in that short period of time. Because we don’t even know.”
“Yes, Jinu. If that’s true, let’s quickly return to our respective worlds.”
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement with what Renia said.
When I saw that, I immediately tried to call Gaia, but suddenly Yuria raised her hand.
“Wait a minute! Jinu, can I ask you one more question before we go?”
“Hmm? What is it… Yuria?”
Yuria spoke about the topic she was curious about with an innocent expression.
What is the feeling of uneasiness there? The reason was clear the moment I listened to Yuria.
“You’re saying we’re connected to the characters raised by Jinu, right? So… Is our new name perhaps the name of those characters?”
Yes… It has finally come.
A very big one.
