Chapter 2345 – 2345. Gwangmyeong Ascension Chart
I got the mosaic generator and the information unit from the hotel front desk. They were handed to me in a simple yet luxurious-looking box.
I left the hotel and opened the box in a suitable place.
First, the magic tool that looked like a stick.
Honestly, I didn’t really need the mosaic generator. Using it would only draw attention. It’s something that’s only needed by porn actors who don’t want to reveal their faces.
‘I can change my appearance with the game app. It’s more natural.’
If I sold it elsewhere, there would be some demand, so it would sell. But I wasn’t someone who was attached to money.
‘That Sexnet operator was fishy. Even when I met him as a corpse, he hid his personal information like his face and name until the end. If he wanted to gain my trust, he should have shown his face.’
Besides, that guy was a dirty corpse fetishist. He was quite capable, so he might have been up to something.
Crack.
Blue lightning surged in the hand holding the mosaic generator. The lightning that scattered in all directions tried to enter the magic tool but was repelled. The mana imbued in the magic tool blocked the lightning’s intrusion.
‘Oh? It’s resisting? It seems like it was made properly.’
I focused a little more. Instead of increasing the output of the lightning, I increased its density. Several times more mana than before was drained, and the lightning became sharp.
Crackling! Crackling!
The lightning scattered in all directions, tearing the magic tool to shreds. Because it retained the characteristics of lightning, the magic tool began to burn. I roughly threw the broken magic tool on the ground and took only the information unit from the box.
‘If they tried to tamper with the information unit after I requested an analysis… I’ll make them regret it.’
I put the information unit in my inventory and took out a space-movement scroll.
I thought about Reiko for a moment. During sex, I told her via telepathy to contact me if she wanted more, and I left my email at the front desk, but I didn’t know if she would contact me.
‘She said it was just a physical relationship, or whatever.’
I didn’t do anything more than that.
‘If she contacts me, I’ll have to bang her. It costs points to change my appearance, so not too often. No, wait. Can I make a goblin face mask from the Gwangmyeong Ascension Chart and use that?’
Tear.
I tore the space-movement scroll and returned home. And I immediately pressed the reset button. No matter how natural it was, it wasn’t my original face, so I felt a bit of a sense of incongruity.
[Resetting appearance change.]

I asked Ha Seunghee to analyze the information unit. Since it had been a while since we met, we first made up with sex.
After the sex, her belly was swollen. Her vagina and anus were filled with a large amount of semen, and I blocked them with a dildo.
“…My body feels heavy, and my lower abdomen feels so strange. Why are you doing this?”
“It’s fun.”
“If you didn’t do such stupid things sometimes, you’d be a really good senior.”
“Are you saying that for me to hear?”
“Do you have to ask?”
Ha Seunghee grumbled. But she sucked my dick well, so… it seemed like she was just upset that it had been so long since we met.
I handed her the information unit.
“Analyze this for me.”
“…An information unit from the Medical Immortal Sect? You have something hard to get.”
“You recognized it right away. Have you eaten it a few times since you’re a chaebol?”
“Yes. I ate a lot of things when I was young. I didn’t have the talent as a hunter, so I didn’t see much effect. If you had eaten elixirs since you were young, you would probably be an S-class hunter by now.”
That’s not true. If talent is needed to absorb elixirs, then I, who don’t have much talent, would have only made the minimum my own.
“How long will the analysis take?”
“It depends on what you’re analyzing it for. If you’re trying to find out the manufacturing method, it will take at least ten days. But I can’t be sure if that manufacturing method is the real one. You can’t find out the Medical Immortal Sect’s pharmaceutical secrets just by doing some analysis.”
“Just check if there’s anything weird in it.”
“That won’t take even five minutes.”
Ha Seunghee put the information unit into a large machine in one corner of the lab. The machine lit up and started to spin. Judging by the mana I could feel, it was a magic tool that had been magically treated.
“What is this?”
“It’s the latest alchemy analyzer developed in Europe. It can analyze almost anything. Are you curious about the price? It’s 120 billion won.”
“Is it worth that much? It seems cheaper to have an alchemist analyze it.”
“The analyzer is faster and more accurate. If you can save time, you should. Thanks to HB-1 being a huge hit, the price isn’t a burden either.”
After explaining, Ha Seunghee headed to the bathroom with a haughty gait. I followed closely behind her.
After watching Ha Seunghee’s semen show, I came outside.
“It matches the known components of the information unit. There’s nothing wrong with it.”
The information unit was clean. That was enough. I took the information unit and had sex with Ha Seunghee.
After the sex, Ha Seunghee was touching her tablet. I glanced at it and saw she was looking at a report.
“Are you very busy these days?”
“It’s all thanks to you, senior. HB-1 is selling so well. You know that the price of potions has dropped recently? That’s because of HB-1’s influence.”
HB-1 can make plants grow instantly. The side effect is that the land loses its fertility to the point where it can’t be used again… but since we use it inside dungeons, the side effect doesn’t really matter. It’s not Earth there anyway. It doesn’t matter how polluted the environment is.
“You’re working hard to make money. But is there a problem?”
“There’s been interference from European and American companies. They’re not happy that Sejin Group is recording remarkable growth thanks to HB-1. I, as the person in charge of HB-1, am incredibly busy.”
“They’ll probably try to copy it. Especially since Europe is known for alchemy.”
“We’re not idiots, and we’ve obviously prepared for replication. It’s almost impossible to replicate without the original.”
“Tell me if it’s too hard. I’ll help you.”
“How would you, senior?”
“I’ll become an S-class within a few years. Maybe I can become an S-class next year. What can a company do when an S-class is causing trouble? They’ll have to kneel.”
“Well… since you said you’d help, I hope you become an S-class as soon as possible.”
“Do that for me.”
“……Cheer up, cheer up, senior…!”
Ha Seunghee’s face turned bright red.

[Sung Yu-jin
Level: 94
Strength: 140 Stamina: 140 Agility: 140 Intelligence: 140 Vitality: 140 Mana: 140]
[Available Points: 3,548]
I needed points.
Whether it was to raise stats or skills, or to buy information erasure, points were essential. After thinking for a moment, I entered the Gwangmyeong Ascension Chart world.
[Starting the game.]
I entered the Gwangmyeong Ascension Chart world.
I closed my eyes and savored my current body. The most powerful body and strength among the current game worlds was the me in the Gwangmyeong Ascension Chart world. Every time I entered, I felt the difference in power. The sensation itself was different.
It was like using a state-of-the-art computer after using an old one.
Sigh, ha.
Even the air in the Gwangmyeong Ascension Chart world seemed different from other worlds. In a good way, of course.
I looked around. It was an empty space. I mainly trained here.
‘It’s perfect for training techniques that I can’t use in reality due to the limitations of my body and mind.’
The power gained in the game world doesn’t apply to reality. Even if I have the power to destroy a mountain right now, that power doesn’t carry over to the real me. But that doesn’t mean it’s meaningless. Even if power and abilities don’t carry over, experience does.
Sigh. Hoo.
Sigh. Hoo.
I breathed.
My body, which had already transcended humanity, was gaining power just by breathing. Qi entered my body, raced through my meridians, and circulated through the Great Heavenly Cycle. Simply put, I was doing Qi cultivation just by breathing.
However, the Qi didn’t accumulate and flowed out. It was because the vessel was already full. To accumulate more internal energy, I had to grow my inner core, my dantian.
This could be done through consistent training and elixirs that suited my constitution.
Sigh.
Hoo.
Crackling.
Sparks flew the moment I exhaled.
I was only focusing on my breathing, but my body naturally operated the Lightning Heaven Knot.
Sigh.
Lightning Qi entered my body and raced through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Paradoxically, I felt coolness and heat at the same time. It was hot because the heat of the lightning Qi heated my meridians, and it was cool because there was no obstruction in the movement of the lightning Qi.
Yes.
Right now, I was connected to the lightning within me.
Hoooooo.
When I exhaled, the lightning Qi that had been racing through me flowed out. The lightning Qi didn’t scatter but gathered around me and flickered playfully.
Sigh.
I inhaled again.
Hoooo.
I exhaled.
As I focused on my breathing, I fell into a state of selflessness. There was only one thing I was pursuing right now.
Lightning.
Becoming lightning.
I knew that feeling.
The me when I became a god.
Sighhhhhhh.
Hoooooooooo.
『Warning!』
『Warning! Stop!』
『Warning! You are not ready yet!』
Stop? Don’t be ridiculous. Don’t you dare try to control me, you status window.
Now is the perfect time. An enlightenment that I thought would never come had found me. Do you think I’d let this opportunity pass?
Sigh-
My breathing stopped.
No, was I even breathing? I couldn’t even tell. There was no need to.
“That foolish disciple of mine has caused trouble again.”
Thud.
A sword was stabbed into my back. The sword pierced my inner core exactly.
“Cough.”
I coughed up blood, feeling excruciating pain. Blue currents flowed through the red blood I spat out. I couldn’t distinguish between the blood and the lightning.
“Master… I was just about to grasp enlightenment… Why… did you interfere…?”
“That’s not enlightenment. I don’t know how you reached that point… but fate has played a trick on you. Either die once and come to your senses.”
The unknown sword cut through my existence.
[Death Resistance has been activated. You will not die for the next 15 seconds.]
[Using Full Recovery.]
I recovered from death while lying on the ground. Right next to me, Wi Yu was nonchalantly shaking the blood off his sword. In the scattered drops of blood, I could see dense demonic energy and rampant lightning.
I was about to argue with Wi Yu, but I looked at the sky and closed my mouth.
“…Master. What is that?”
The sky, which had been clear until just now, was crumpled as if someone had forcibly grabbed and twisted it.
“What else could it be? It’s the will of the heavens to punish a rebel. Be grateful to Miryeong. Thanks to the barrier, the heavens didn’t quickly detect your existence.”
“…I have Full Recovery, so I can die once, too, right?”
“That’s why I killed you. If I hadn’t killed you and left you alone… the heavens would have killed you. Even if you returned from death, the heavens would have continued to kill you again.”
The crumpled sky slowly returned to normal. I looked at it and asked Wi Yu.
“……Is that truly the will of the heavens?”
“Well, I don’t know exactly either. Long ago, the immortals called it that, so I guess that’s what it is. Yu-jin, keep this in mind. The heavens do not allow rebellion.”
