Chapter 2032 – 2032. Savior Of The Academy
Back in reality, I checked my points.
[Sung Yu-jin
Level: 92
Strength: 130 Stamina: 130 Agility: 130 Intelligence: 120 Vitality: 130 Mana: 130]
[Available Points: 33,120]
My level had increased, and I also received 20,000 points as a reward for completing the quest. Additionally, I received a settlement for the time I spent in the [New Type] world.
‘33,000 points, huh? It’s a lot more than I thought. With this, I can probably raise my intelligence a bit.’
[Sung Yu-jin
Level: 92
Strength: 130 Stamina: 130 Agility: 130 Intelligence: 130 Vitality: 130 Mana: 130]
[Available Points: 23,120]
I used 10,000 points to raise my intelligence from 120 to 130.
I tilted my head. Even though my intelligence had increased by 10, I didn’t feel any different.
‘Other stats are very noticeable when they increase. But with intelligence, I wouldn’t even know if it went up unless I looked at the numbers.’
Compared to when my intelligence was 1, my memory seems to have improved. But it was hard to feel any improvement in my traits or skills.
The only thing I could feel was that my memory had gotten a bit better than before.
‘I’ll be satisfied with having all my stats balanced….’
I had already decided how to use my points before starting the quest.
[Leap Lv. 1
You can leap 1.2m to a visible location.
Consumes mana and vitality.]
The leap distance, which was originally 1.15m, had increased by 0.05m. It seemed like it was because my intelligence had gone up.
‘Let’s see. To level up Leap….’
[Do you want to use 3,000 points to increase the level of Leap Lv. 1?]
A whopping 3,000 points to level up just once.
The point consumption was so ridiculous that I couldn’t help but laugh.
‘Leap is a form of teleportation, so I guess it makes sense that it costs a lot of points.’
[Leap Lv. 4
You can leap 10m to a visible location.
Consumes mana and vitality.]
[Do you want to use 12,000 points to increase the level of Leap Lv. 4?]
With the points I had, level 4 was the limit.
I had used up points, but the leap distance had increased accordingly. A whole 10m. 10m might seem short, but it would be a great help in battle.
‘I’m not skilled enough to use it in battle right now… but I’ll get used to it with a bit of practice.’
I couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed about not having Enhanced Leap. With Enhanced Leap, I could travel to the other side of the world by spending 100 points.
‘Would I get Enhanced Leap if I used a Skill Enhancement Ticket?’
[Skill Enhancement Ticket
Enhances one skill from the Play Life app. You cannot enhance an already enhanced skill again.
Price: 80,000 points.
※Caution
The enhancement effect is random.]
I checked the Skill Enhancement Ticket in the random draw shop.
80,000 points. It was a number of points I could probably gather if I saved up, but I had many other places to use them besides Leap.
‘Let’s see. The points I have right now are….’
[Available Points: 5,120]
Where should I use my points? On stats? Or gamble on a random draw? Invest in some random skill or trait?
None of it appealed to me.
‘Let’s save them for now. I need to have this much in case I need points somewhere, sometime.’
The 120 points bothered me for some reason. If I didn’t have those 120 points, I could keep exactly 5,000 points. After some thought, I decided to do a random draw. Since various items came out, it wasn’t a complete loss.
But today, my luck was bad, and nothing good came out. Still, it wasn’t like I got nothing at all.
[Stealth Dagger
A stealth dagger.
It’s so stealthy that it’s hard to notice. It’s one-time use.
Price: 500 points
※Caution
Be careful when using it. Even the user might not be able to notice the dagger.]
It was a dagger that looked like it could be found anywhere. Since it hadn’t been used, there was nothing special about it.
‘I can’t think of anywhere to use it right now.’
[Level Up Ticket
You can level up!
Price: 10,000 points
※Caution
Only usable for levels below 99.]
‘Does level mean the level in the status window?’
The level of the Play Life app.
My stats didn’t increase just because my level went up. However, new features could be added to the Play Life app. Also, new games would become available each time the level increased. There would probably be a reward when I reached level 100.
‘That’s a bit tempting.’
Was there a reason to save the Level Up Ticket?
There was. Generally, levels become harder to increase as they get higher. This ticket would be most efficient when used at level 99.
‘But it’s not going up now anyway. 10,000 points isn’t that hard to get. I can just buy another one when I need it.’
Tear.
I tore the ticket.
[Level has increased.]
My level increased to 93.
Nothing much had changed.
‘Should I check the ending of New Type? Well, it’ll probably be a destruction ending like most other worlds.’
Like other worlds, I in the game world would act as I pleased. I would seize power and money and wield them as I wanted, and others would rebel and fight against me. It was obvious without even looking.
‘I wonder how it’ll end. Nuclear war? Or will I just destroy everything myself like the Wolta tribe did?’
I checked the ending of [New Type].
Jung Su-yeon had safely given birth to a child. It was a boy. In the ending, I tried to name him Sung Ninja, inheriting his nickname, Ninja, but Jung Su-yeon objected, and he was named Sung In-su.
Soon after, Jung Su-yeon became pregnant with their second child.
I made a deal with an angel and invaded three other worlds.
Cheonil Group became the top group in Korea. I succeeded the chairman position in my 40s. The old man who never died and retired was living out his days leisurely.
I had 15 children. Jung Su-yeon looked like she was in her mid-20s, even though she was in her 50s. She was incredibly youthful, but there was a reason for it. She was one of the top guardians in Korea. It was the same for me, so I didn’t age much either.
‘What’s surprising is that I didn’t sleep with any other women besides Jung Su-yeon.’
I never thought I wouldn’t sleep with another woman for decades.
‘I did focus only on Jung Su-yeon from the middle of the quest… did that affect the ending like this?’
I had become a henpecked husband. No, a devoted husband. The management of Cheonil Group? I left it to the servants to handle. I didn’t have any goals like dominating the world. But I did consistently hunt monsters.
I didn’t kill many people either.
I did find and kill Noh Kyung-hak, who I had forgotten about, and I killed those who defied me, but that was it. I didn’t kill more than a thousand humans.
One day.
After having sex as usual, I asked Jung Su-yeon if she regretted marrying me.
“There were times when you annoyed me, but… I’ve never truly regretted it.”
And Jung Su-yeon died at the age of 90. One day, she simply didn’t open her eyes. I thought she was just sleeping in, but as time passed, I realized she wasn’t breathing.
Her aging had stopped, but she couldn’t overcome her predetermined lifespan.
After Jung Su-yeon died, my daily life became monotonous. I had already given up on the Cheonil Group, and I had retired from being a guardian long ago. I often sat blankly in front of the TV. I had children and grandchildren, but they had all become independent.
A debauched life began. I called and replaced women every day. I even had a few drug sex parties, but I quickly got bored. I had already changed. I wasn’t the same as before. The woman named Jung Su-yeon had influenced me too much.
And three years later, I reached the end of my lifespan. I died peacefully, as if falling asleep, just like Jung Su-yeon had.
“……”
I was so surprised that I couldn’t speak.
‘I can’t believe I would live such a peaceful and ordinary life.’
There was no world war either. China and the US tried to start a war, but I stepped in and warned them. At the time, I was a hero of humanity backed by an angel, so it was possible.
‘Well, I guess there are lives like this too. I didn’t destroy humanity, but I did destroy other races.’
Putting everything else aside, I felt regretful about Jung Su-yeon. I wanted to somehow make her like me, but looking at the ending, it was me who had become like her.
‘It’s not bad.’

After spending some time in reality, I got bored and entered the game world.
[You have selected Savior of the Academy.]
[Starting the game.]
Late at night, I was standing on the roof of the dormitory.
The original story had been twisted.
The eighth legion commander, Laplace, sacrificed himself to turn Young Ha-ri into a demon, the new eighth legion commander.
I couldn’t stop it.
‘I was too complacent.’
I opened my status window to find the reason for my complacency.
『Name: Sung Yu-jin
Strength: A Stamina: B+ Agility: B+ Durability: B Mana: A+
Traits: Spirit Eye (S) Demon Hunter (S) God of Storm (A)
Skills: Spirit Contract (A) Spirit Possession (A) Barrier (C+) Swordsmanship (B+)
Karma: Good 21』
Stats that were far greater than those of an ordinary hero.
Stats that exceeded the level of an academy student.
That was why I had become complacent.
With this much power, I could handle almost anything that happened within the academy. But the problem had occurred outside the academy.
I couldn’t deal with the original story.
I was manipulated by Laplace.
‘This is fucked up.’
Young Ha-ri had become a demon. And a powerful one at that. But that wasn’t a reason for me to give up on her.
‘It’s all because I was weak.’
I had to become stronger.
Strong enough to kill all the annoying demon bastards and take Young Ha-ri by force.
“I’ll show you the power of possession and regression. I’ll kill all those demon bastards.”
『Demon Hunter (S) feels hatred towards demons.』
『Demon Hunter (S) is pleased.』
“You’re useless and noisy. Stormbreaker, Machina.”
I summoned Stormbreaker and Machina.
“Huh? What’s going on so late at night?”
“Shut up and combine. It’s time to go back to Red Light.”
The academy? Screw that. I’ll do it my way.
