Chapter 239 – 239. Eighth Skill 2
Time to check your skills.
First, I started with detection.
I need to check the passive effects first.
First, it is important to check how much the duration has increased. Only then will you know the exact time.
It seems really crappy that some skills show time and some don’t. No matter how much I think about it, there is something unsafe about this world.
A 20-second detection lasted 26 seconds. Then… It’s a 30 percent increase.
If you take skill duration increase 1 and 2 and increase it by 30%… How should I calculate it? Is it a sum operation of 10% with 1 and 20% with 2?
So, the next time you increase skill duration by 3, will it be an increase of 30% plus 60%?
Wow… This is growing ridiculously?
For a moment… So now, something like fascination is 2 hours long… If there is a 30% increase, it is 156 minutes. That is, 2 hours and 36 minutes.
Oh my god. Time increases a lot, right? So in theory, if you increase the skill duration to 4, it will increase by 100%.
The charm duration is 4 hours.
The passive is quite good. There is a need to collect coins even more frantically.
So, they say the detection range is now 130 meters… Good. I like it.
Ruler. Now it’s time to phase out.
First, let’s see if we can phase out with the item.
I used Phase Out while holding a machete in one hand and a smartphone in the other.
Two items still in my hands. Does it work? Well, there’s no way this wouldn’t work.
If this didn’t work out, the moment you use Phase Out, you’d put everything, including clothes, over there and only the body would come.
Then… What time is it?
I immediately turned on my smartphone. But I can’t see the screen. If you come over here, won’t electronic devices be displayed? Umm. This is inconvenient. Okay for now.
I turned it off, turned on my smartphone, started the stopwatch, and used Phase Out again.
I need to check the time. This is important.
And… I let go of the machete.
The machete falls to the floor with a clink. Do physical laws like gravity apply the same way over there?
Then… Going through a wall… Is that true?
The really fortunate thing is that there are many people in the world who are smarter and more imaginative than me, and there are many things such as movies and comics created by such people.
I applaud human creativity and curiosity.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been easy for a guy like me to think like this.
The wall is passable, so how can I stand on top of this building?
It’s a simple question, but if you dig deeper, it becomes a complex question.
Whether it’s the wall or this building, they are all structures from the other world, and where I am, I am on top of a building that is almost 15 stories tall.
If the wall can pass, the floor must also pass. Gravity is applied, so the moment you use Phase Out, you have to fall to the floor.
Continue up to the surface of the earth, or below the ground.
What doesn’t work that way is… It’s probably because I’m ‘aware’ of this floor.
The same goes for walls. If I ‘perceive’ that the wall is a wall that I can’t get through, I won’t be able to get through it.
I’m so glad I know these concepts. After all, people need to know a lot of miscellaneous things.
The world that had become hazy has returned to reality.
When I look at the clock, it’s past 2 minutes and 34 seconds.
I turned it on a little late… It’s probably 2 minutes and 36 seconds. Duration: 2 minutes. In addition, the time increased by 30% due to the passive.
2 minutes… It’s short. So, should this be divided into 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes?
But even 2 minutes is enough. Because I can use it again anyway. There is not much difference from transparency.
The effect is important, but the duration is not very meaningful.
“Is it fun?”
Minhee looks at me and asks.
“Huh? Why?”
“No… Because I’m smiling.”
“Am I? Are you smiling?”
“Yes. He looks like a child playing with toys.”
“Haha. Really? Well, it’s fun. I feel like a scholar searching for the truth.”
“The skill seems complicated, right?”
“Uh… I guess? What should I say about this… Overlapping worlds? Phase? It’s that kind of concept.”
“How do you know so well? It’s like I’ve known you from the beginning.”
“You just have to watch a lot of movies or cartoons. Everything we can imagine has already been implemented into a wonderful world by someone. Is there any difference between the people who created this skill?”
Minhee looks at me as if she is amazed. For now, she doesn’t pay any more attention and continues to test her skills.
Ruler. It’s time. Now it’s time to test what matters.
I looked around and pulled out a hanger from the closet.
Minhee looks at me strangely.
I immediately used Phase Out and approached the wall with the hanger in my hand.
Then, I released the phase out while keeping the end of the hanger inside the wall.
What will happen?
Will the wall break? Will the hanger break? Or not… Will it bounce off?
Pak!
The hanger bounced, but it didn’t fly away because I was holding the other end.
I immediately looked at the wall and the hangers. Both of them showed no scratches.
Is that so? These guys… We made it so that they don’t interfere with each other, right?
Fortunately, there won’t be any problems with amputation or anything like that. Still, just in case, I should try it with my body.
I used phase out again.
What should I do? It’s a little scary to put my finger in… I should have tried growing my nails.
Ah. Is it going to be hair? Should I try it with hair?
This time, I lowered my head to the table, let my hair overlap, and then phased out.
The table is still fine… I touched the hair, and it seemed fine.
“What are you doing?”
“Did I get my hair cut?”
“Huh? No…? I don’t know what’s different from before.”
“Really? Then it’s okay…”
“Really… Are you really checking everything like that?”
“There is no explanation of the skills, so I have no choice but to check them one by one. At least I should know what skills I am using and use them.”
“Really… He’s an amazing person.”
I used phase out again.
I’m sorry Minhee, but now I have to quickly check the things that came to mind before I forget them.
This time, skill. Will it work? Why not?
“Flight.”
Hmm… It doesn’t work. In this world, skills don’t work at all.
Then… Skills are not abilities given to ‘me’. It’s just that it’s an ability that can only be used in that world.
This is a little annoying. In the end, it means that you can’t use phase out and flight.
I canceled phase out again and used invisibility this time.
And then phase out again. Release again.
“Ah. It’s clearing up.”
“Yes?”
“No. Talking to myself.”
If you use Phase Out while using a skill, the skill will be released. Then… When I’m using something like flying… It might be a little dangerous, right?
But in some ways, there are also good points. In the end, it means that all skill effects may be released.
If you use Phase Out right away when you get an electric shock, the electric shock effect can disappear.
Don’t get electrocuted. You shouldn’t be thinking about it. I don’t like electric shocks.
I used phase out again.
This time… Should I try something a little crazy?
I walked up to the wall and thought to myself.
I can’t get through this. It’s a real wall.
I touched the wall and felt it. Of course, it may not be a wall in the actual other world.
In this world, we simply created a wall similar to the other world. It’s not the same wall.
Then this time… I looked at my floor and thought.
There is nothing under my feet.
Then the body fell to the floor.
When I quickly thought there was a floor downstairs, I fell to the floor and rolled.
Ah oh sir… My ankle hurts. I almost grounded myself.
I passed through the hotel gate and looked at the door.
Room 1405. It’s also the 14th floor. Okay, so far it’s just as I thought.
However… What goes up?
Fuck… That’s impossible. You can’t defy gravity.
No. For a moment. If we say there is no gravity… Is that possible?
There is no gravity here. There is no gravity.
Can’t it? I guess it doesn’t work. Either I lack concept or imagination… Or, absolute laws such as gravity cannot be excluded.
Umm… So why not go up from the bottom?
It’s annoying. There is a flight over there… There is no way to beat gravity here.
Is something like this possible? It’s about making invisible stairs.
Anyway, the floor was created because it recognized that I was the one stepping on it, right?
I had complicated thoughts as I looked down the hallway.
There is nothing on that ceiling. And there is an invisible staircase here.
For humans who rely on sight, it is not easy to ignore sight with imagination alone… Let’s give it a try.
And I took a step.
My body rose exactly as high as the stairs I had imagined.
Cough. It works too. It’s okay. This will do. Thank you Haneulchi! Thank you. Tinahan!
I went up one floor as if I was walking upstairs.
After going through the ceiling and up to the 15th floor hallway, I passed through the hotel door thinking there was a floor in the hallway again.
When I release the phase out and reveal myself, Minhee looks in my direction as if she is now familiar.
“How’s it going?”
“Yes. I did everything I could to check.”
“Already?”
“Well, I only confirmed what I could use. In any case, unless I completely understand it, I will use it in a limited way.”
“I see. So what are you going to do now?”
“What should I do? I need to master the phase out skill.”
“Yes?”
I, still naked, lay down on the bed.
Minhee looks at me like that and looks tired.
“Why do you think so? If you write it less than 250 times, you can move on to the next step, but you have to do at least that much.”
“Wow. He’s a scary person.”
Minhee then goes in front of the mirror and picks up a hair dryer.
He tried turning it on, but as if he didn’t like it, he put it down and took out a hair dryer from his inventory.
When you see something like that… I want to take pictures of storage quickly.
The sound of the dryer buzzed, and I began to master my skills.
The surrounding scenery becomes hazy every time you use it, but returns to its original state when you turn it off.
This… If you do it too much, you’ll probably go crazy, right?
Should I at least close my eyes?
Let’s just do it for now. You only need to eat about 6 potions anyway.
Minhee, who had finished drying her hair, lay down next to me and watched me in amazement.
I was quite worried, but anyway, we wouldn’t interfere with each other and end up getting cut off… I left it for now.
What… I won’t do anything strange. Plus, it ends quickly.
When the mastery level reached 100% and the intermediate phase out, the time increased to almost 4 minutes.
As expected, the next 2 minutes is 3 minutes. Passive increase of 54 seconds at 180 seconds. But I’m not sure what has changed. Has the blurry surroundings become a little clearer?
“Oh my. It’s hard.”
Since I drank quite a bit of the potion, I feel a little tired.
Besides, I did a lot of things with Minhee.
But this woman… When I realized that I had finished mastering the skill, my eyes sparkled. Oh, no way… Probably not.
“Are you done?”
“Yeah. It’s not easy either.”
“Hmm… It’s hard, right?”
Minhee gently presses her body against me. Oh… Oh my god. Really?
“Ah. I guess I should sleep like this.”
He hit the player and hugged Minhee.
“Are you really going to sleep?”
A woman looking at me with a bright smile. Eww… I don’t think it will be easy to live together as expected. It’s impossible. It’s impossible.
“If I’m going to kill someone tomorrow, I need to get some sleep.”
I might actually be able to sleep well, but… Anyway, I should refrain from doing more.
“Hmm. That’s right. Then I should sleep like this too.”
Minhee straightens my arm and uses it as an arm pillow.
Okay. I can do as much as I want.
After saying that, Minhee fell asleep not long after.
Really? Really? How do you fall asleep so quickly?
I thought to myself, I am so fucking jealous. If you decide to sleep, you can fall asleep right away.
Really… How can I get rid of this insomnia?
It’s really sad that even lifting the disease doesn’t work.
Looking at Minhee like that, I also closed my eyes.
Even if I keep doing this, I won’t be able to fall asleep anyway. I should at least get some rest.
I lay still all night, holding Minhee like that, and the sun rose on the morning of the day I dealt with the Company bastards.
