Reincarnator User Manual Chapter 58

Reincarnator Bus

To cut to the chase, the little girl Kim Yeri that Hyunseong brought and the Seon Hee-yeong that I brought have joined Hyunseong's party.

Although the decision to form the party members was entirely within the authority of the party leader, Kim Hyunseong of the 7th Squad, some members of the administrative team were giving us disapproving looks.

This was because there had not been sufficient consultation with the administrative team beforehand.

In other words, the matter had been handled unilaterally. Of course, the most significant reason for the negative reactions was that Hyunseong was only a first-year.

Despite this, the results we achieved were quite astonishing, but as usual, the crazy old folks didn't bother to express it.

The recruitment of Seon Hee-yeong, who had been coveted by many clans and guilds, was no small feat.

‘And at a very low price.’

When it was announced that she, who had said she wouldn't join any clan or guild, would be joining the Blue, the value of the Blue naturally soared.

Already a subject of attention, Hyunseong's party became the focus of attention in the free city of Lindel.

While we don't know the history of the summoners who arrived here, it's unlikely that a new party in Lindel had ever received this much attention.

"Brother! It's time for the meal."

"I know."

While I was still engrossed in my experiments in the room, Park Deok-gu quietly knocked on the door and came in.

Recently, the party had been having three meals a day together.

This was also to get closer to the new members, Seon Hee-yeong and Kim Yeri, and to discuss the overall situation of the party and the future schedule.

Naturally, the two new members felt a bit distant compared to the four of us who were already close.

Surprisingly, Jung Hae-yeon and Seon Hee-yeong seemed to get along well, but it was still a bit premature to say they were close.

I hadn't even had a conversation with Kim Yeri, who was quite shy.

'Smart kid.'

Whether it was because of some magic or because he could sense the aura of power, the way he clung only to Hyunseong was quite a sight.

It seemed like it would take some time to get closer, but the lack of progress so far was quite frustrating.

While I was organizing the scattered items, Park Deok-gu spoke up.

"By the way, what are you always experimenting with, brother?"

"Various things. I'm doing so many things at once that it's hard to explain."

"Can't you tell me just one of them? I'm dying of curiosity. You're always holed up in your room doing experiments. Isn't it time to tell me at least one?"

"Hmm…."

"Come on, just one."

"The most recent one was a potion to manipulate emotions…."

"Is that even possible?"

"Only theoretically. In practice, it's almost impossible. I thought it might be possible to manipulate basic human desires…."

"For example?"

"Like sexual desire, sleepiness, or appetite. To be precise, it's not really manipulating emotions. It's more like making someone feel lazy or tired…."

"Then it's not really manipulating emotions, is it?"

"That's what makes humans interesting. Humans believe that what they feel is their emotion. For example, if you make a potion that relaxes the muscles and makes the body feel comfortable, and add some magical element, humans will really feel lazy. The brain just interprets the body's signals arbitrarily."

"Ah…."

"The same goes for other cases. If you heat the body or make the heart beat a little faster, it's easy to get excited or irritated with just a little stimulation."

"That sounds a bit scary…."

"It would work better on someone with low intelligence. Or…."

"Or?"

"Someone with a slightly unstable mind."

"Ugh…."

A slightly frightened expression appeared in my field of vision.

The idea of manipulating someone's emotions with a potion was quite unsettling.

While I had found it quite interesting recently, it wasn't really suitable for use.

Dramatic circumstances would be needed, and various ingredients would be required.

It wasn't a situation where it could be fully utilized yet.

It was just a prototype for the potion I really wanted to develop, but it wasn't entirely useless.

"Just kidding."

"Huh?"

"Just kidding. It's not possible."

"Ah, brother!"

"It's just imagination. All experiments start with imagination. It means that ideas are important."

"Oh! So even strange ideas can be realized?"

"If the circumstances are right."

"Like a love potion?"

"That's an extension of the potion I mentioned earlier."

"What about a potion that boosts stats? Or one that makes you invisible? Or…."

"…."

"A potion that turns you into a monster. Is that possible?"

I don't know if Park Deok-gu was aware or not, but the potions he occasionally mentioned were the ones I was researching.

I looked at him with a slightly surprised expression, and he smiled and continued to spout ideas.

Some of his ideas were things I hadn't thought of, which made me look at him in a new light.

'This kid is either a fool or a genius.'

I don't know when, but I have a feeling he will come up with ideas I can't even imagine.

While it was just fun to talk about interesting ideas, his occasional insightful comments made me have to take his words to heart.

Slowly descending to the basement of the guild house, I saw the gathered members as expected.

"Brother, you're here?"

"Kigyung."

"Please sit down."

Jung Hae-yeon was looking at me happily, and Seon Hee-yeong was sitting quietly at the table in a neat manner.

Hyunseong nodded and greeted me, and the youngest, Kim Yeri, still seemed to be wary of me.

"Good morning."

"Yes."

As I sat down, Jung Hae-yeon immediately brought the meal to me.

Seon Hee-yeong subtly poured water and placed it in front of me.

Interestingly, Seon Hee-yeong's nature hadn't changed.

She still maintained the ideal servant's nature, which was quite surprising.

Perhaps it was because she accepted the behavior as a form of service, as I had advised, but I thought that the ideal servant's nature might not suit her anymore.

Instead, her job had changed.

[Dark Priest - Hero Rank]

Her job had changed from Sun Priest to Dark Priest.

I thought it was due to the events that had occurred, but after observing her a few times, it seemed that her abilities and stats hadn't changed.

She could still cast holy magic, and Hyunseong was quite surprised by her abilities.

Of course, Jung Hae-yeon, who was devoted to training, had noticeably grown.

Her mana had reached the 40s, and the lovely reincarnator, Hyunseong, didn't need much explanation.

On the other hand, Park Deok-gu's growth was a bit slower.

While his durability was steadily increasing, his strength and stamina were growing more slowly.

Especially, his agility stat was almost not growing, which was a problem.

He seemed the most frustrated, but I understood his feelings the most.

I also found it frustrating when my stats didn't increase smoothly.

As everyone settled into their seats, Hyunseong spoke quietly.

"Let's start the meal."

"Enjoy your meal."

"Enjoy your meal."

Hyunseong is the leader of the party.

It's natural to show respect, so after nodding slightly, the meal began in a quiet atmosphere, and the sound of casual conversation gradually filled the air.

Everyone was chatting about various things.

While we were having a conversation and passing the time, I saw the kid quietly speak up.

"I have something to say."

Naturally, the surroundings became quiet.

"Yes?"

"This morning, I received a proposal from the deputy guild master."

"What kind of proposal?"

"A dungeon raid. Not just our party, but parties from large guilds nearby will also be joining. I'd like to hear your thoughts."

It was a bit unexpected.

Of course, I had expected that we would eventually go hunting or to a dungeon.

Our party was still a newcomer here, and rapid growth was necessary.

With six members, including the little girl Kim Yeri, we could form a decent party, so the timing wasn't bad.

What was a bit surprising was that we would be going with parties from other guilds.

If we were going to a dungeon, I thought we would go to a dungeon known only to reincarnators and enjoy the exclusive experience.

It was natural to think that there was no reason for other uninvited guests to join.

"Can you explain the background?"

I had to ask.

Hyunseong smiled slightly and continued.

"Of course. I didn't get all the details, but a mid-level party discovered a new dungeon near the tutorial dungeon."

"But…."

"The issue is the party members. It was a social party formed by members from various guilds and clans, so the question of which guild it belonged to became a bit ambiguous."

'Ah…'

I understood the situation.

"Did they not participate in the raid themselves?"

"Yes. The investigation results showed that it was a common or, at most, rare-grade dungeon, so they didn't think it was necessary to raid it. They probably received separate rewards within the guild. They also decided to share a portion of the dungeon's shares."

"Instead of raiding it themselves…."

"They decided to invest in growing parties that each guild and clan is supporting."

In summary, a social party formed by members from various guilds accidentally discovered a rare-grade dungeon.

The issue was that the dungeon's grade was a bit low for the members of this social party.

They thought it was better to let parties that needed experience take the lead rather than get into a messy fight.

'They must have good relationships.'

It was a bit surprising that they could share it amicably without any ownership disputes.

From the perspective of the ones who discovered the dungeon, they would receive rewards from each guild and a portion of the dungeon's shares, so it was a favorable situation.

The fact that they didn't pursue a rare-grade dungeon suggested that they held a certain position in society.

If they were obsessed with gold or items, they wouldn't have given up the dungeon in the first place.

"One party from our Blue guild, one from the Red Mercenary guild, one from the Mage guild, and one from the Black Swan guild are expected to join. Although it's a rare-grade dungeon, it's said to be a bit large, so there shouldn't be a problem with all the parties moving together. After the raid, items will likely be distributed based on each party's contribution…."

"Based on contribution?"

"Yes. However, the purpose of this dungeon raid is not items or wealth, but experience."

I could see what Hyunseong's plan was.

The explanation was long, but the purpose was clear.

'The growth of the party.'

There was no reason to refuse.

Our reincarnator would have judged that this was the right direction.

'Thanks, Hyunseong.'

It's time to board the reincarnator bus together.
