Chapter 91

<Regressed to Level 2 Warrior 91>

Cheng Zihan, who was looking at the items in the Achievement Shop, hesitated for a moment between adding a class and upgrading the Achievement Shop.

'The Achievement Shop upgrade also costs 250,000 points.'

Should he level up the shop to increase the number of items, or try to add a class and see if he can add a new profession?

However, this dilemma quickly ended due to the conditions required to upgrade the Achievement Shop to LV.7.

[To upgrade the Achievement Shop to LV.7, the 'Constellation Slot Addition' and 'Gift Slot Addition' items must be upgraded to LV.2.]

The achievement points required to invest in the Constellation Slot Addition and Gift Slot Addition are 50,000 each.

Since there was no need to invest an additional 100,000 points just to upgrade the shop.

'Of course, there is a risk in investing 250,000 points to add a class...'

Now, the only remaining class is Archer.

If he invested 250,000 points to add a class and ended up with just four classes, it would be like throwing points into the air.

But Cheng Zihan believed that something would definitely change.

'From what I've seen of the Achievement Shop so far... there must be something.'

He believed it.

Because it was the Achievement Shop.

'I'm going for it.'

[Class Slot Addition LV.3 has been purchased.]

[Achievement Points have been deducted by 250,000 points.]

[You can now change to a basic class.]

[The classes you can change to are as follows.]

- Archer

[Would you like to select a class?]

After selecting Archer, the class slot increased to four.

Warrior, Mage, Supporter, and Archer.

Now, Cheng Zihan had all four basic classes.

'...Is this it?'

When no additional message appeared immediately, he wondered if he had just wasted 250,000 points.

But then,

Boom!

[Special Achievement, 'All Classes' has been achieved.]

[100,000 Achievement Points have been awarded as a reward.]

[You have obtained All Classes. You can evolve your class slots in two ways.]

"Ah."

Fortunately, an additional message appeared with a fanfare he hadn't heard before.

And it was about evolving the class slots.

[Please select an evolution direction.]

[All Master]

- Enhances all classes while maintaining them.

- You can use all four classes, and the job bonuses and stat growth rates for each class are increased by 1.5 times.

[All for One]

- Deactivates three of the four classes and enhances one class.

- The stats and skills obtained from the deactivated classes are retained, but you cannot gain any additional abilities or skills specialized for each class.

- The enhanced class receives job bonuses and stat growth rates four times the original.

Should he evolve into All Master, which enhances all classes?

Or should he focus on just one with All for One?

'The answer is simple.' The Mage and Supporter were chosen for their utility.

Cheng Zihan's foundation was the Warrior.

Without hesitation, he chose All for One.

[All other classes except Warrior will be deactivated.]

[Additional option - Would you like to delete the remaining classes?]

[If you do not delete the classes, they will remain in a deactivated state and can be summoned in a future BattleNet as a role of the deactivated class.]

Just like how he was summoned to 10 towers as a Supporter during the Bronze stage.

A message indicating that he could also be summoned as one of the other three classes in future games, not just as a Warrior.

Cheng Zihan thought about this for a moment.

While deleting the other classes would be cleaner,

'Being summoned as other classes isn't necessarily a bad thing.'

During the level-up stages, being randomly selected in each game could disrupt the team composition, making the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.

But when considering national representative matches or, in the future, Space League matches,

This could be used as a wildcard.

"I'll keep them."

Cheng Zihan refused to delete the classes.

Then, the four class slots that were lined up in the status window merged.

The original 'Class - Warrior' changed to 'Class - Warrior+3'.

"+3..."

When Cheng Zihan pressed +3, the Mage, Supporter, and Archer classes appeared as translucent text.

'So this is how deactivation works.'

At the same time, a message window appeared.

[The first evolution condition for the Warrior class has been met.]

[There are a total of 10 eligible jobs.]

A message indicating that the first evolution of the class was possible.

'Already possible?'

If it was possible, it should have been indicated earlier.

The status window was subtly unhelpful.

Cheng Zihan examined the list of eligible jobs.

Starting from [Knight], [Sword Mage], [Holy Knight], [Warrior], [Shadow Warrior], and so on...

Given that he could use all four classes, the available evolution classes were varied.

'Compared to the Wu Sheng, they seem insignificant.'

Cheng Zihan looked at the 10 classes with a lackluster expression.

In his previous life, the 3rd evolution special job Wu Sheng, obtained thanks to the Constellation 'Wandering Warrior'.

Compared to its performance, the performance of the first evolution jobs listed now was extremely poor.

'But I have to choose one, right?'

Whatever it was, it would be better than the current Warrior.

As Cheng Zihan was scrolling through the 10 classes,

At the bottom, a job name caught his eye.

[Third-Rate Warrior]

- A warrior still full of flaws.

- But being third-rate, there is only room for improvement.

* Evolution Bonus: +30% increase in Warrior class-related stats and skill growth rate / +10% experience bonus

The Third-Rate Warrior, which had no ability bonus compared to other first evolution classes like Knight or Sword Mage,

But the additional growth rate effect was quite significant for a first evolution.

'Not bad for a first evolution.' If the All for One effect is applied, the growth rate would quadruple.

Then, the choice was clear.

[The 'Warrior' class has evolved to 'Third-Rate Warrior' in the first evolution.]

[With the All for One effect, the class efficiency has quadrupled.]

[Class - Third-Rate Warrior+3]

- A warrior still full of flaws.

- But being third-rate, there is only room for improvement.

* Evolution Bonus: +120% increase in Warrior class-related stats and skill growth rate / +40% experience bonus

'Impressive.' Cheng Zihan smiled wryly, feeling the effect of All for One.

[General Achievement, 'First Class Evolution' has been achieved.]

[5,000 Achievement Points have been awarded as a reward.]

And even a small achievement point reward.

Although he spent a lot of achievement points to achieve All Classes, it felt like he had recovered almost half.

'Now I have about 150,000 points left.'

While Cheng Zihan was checking his remaining achievement points,

Swoosh-

Ariel popped out of his left arm in a small size.

"Master, what did you do?"

"Why?"

"I could feel the power of the shadow growing even when I was just there. Now, it feels even stronger when I manifest."

Ariel, who had fully emerged from Cheng Zihan's left arm, looked bewildered.

"I can grow even larger."

Then, Ariel grew to the size of reaching Cheng Zihan's chest, looking at her body in amazment.

"Is it because the stat growth rate increased?"

"It can't change so much just because it increased a little..."

"It increased a lot. 120%."

"120% more?"

Ariel responded with disbelief.

"Then I can keep manifesting. I think my stats will increase just by manifesting."

"Really? Then stay."

Becoming a Third-Rate Warrior had this additional benefit.

Unless something special happened, Cheng Zihan decided to keep Ariel summoned.

At that moment,

Knock knock-

"Uncle... are you awake?"

Yun Se-ah knocked on the door.

"Yeah, I just woke up."

Creak-

She entered the room and waved at Ariel.

"Ariel is here too. Why are you so big today?"

"I plan to stay like this."

"Oh, really? Why?"

"Because your uncle has grown. Just by summoning me, my stats increase."

"Wow... you're really a game-breaking character."

Even though she had a formidable gift herself, Yun Se-ah looked at Cheng Zihan with envy.

But only for a moment.

"By the way... Uncle, are you okay?"

She carefully examined Cheng Zihan's face and asked.

"Because of the fight with the ninja? I'm completely fine. I'm just disappointed that I couldn't subdue him."

"No, that's not it. The... the enchantment. I'm worried if it's still affecting you."

"It doesn't affect me. I'm more worried that the people who saw the video might be enchanted. If so, the video needs to be taken down."

"No, while they say it's beautiful, it doesn't seem like they were enchanted by the video."

Then, Yun Se-ah hesitated.

She seemed to have something to say but was hesitant, so Cheng Zihan decided to wait for her to speak.

"Say what you have to say. Don't fidget."

Ariel, who had been watching from the side, impatiently urged her.

"What do you mean by fidgeting!"

"Say it quickly."

"Oh, right. That... is..."

Thanks to Ariel, Yun Se-ah seemed to have made up her mind and took out her smartphone.

"Uncle, can you watch this?"

The video Yun Se-ah played showed.

Sword King Ito Ryuhai being interviewed by a Japanese reporter.

"Sword King! Have you seen the video that caused a stir in Korea? What is your relationship with Ito Shizuru...!"

When the reporter asked, holding the microphone, the Sword King's face immediately twisted.

The gentle middle-aged man, known for his calm demeanor, looked terrifying.

He glared at the reporter as if he wanted to kill him.

"You. Be careful with your words. Ito Shizuru. Her name is not something you can call so casually."

"Ah... Yes..."

"She was only a manifestation in Korea. The real her is by my side! Look, I bear the Ito name!"

The reporter, intimidated by the Sword King's fierce aura, didn't even ask more questions.

But the Sword King, excited on his own, shouted loudly.

"Cheng Zihan, you arrogant fool...! How dare you defy her when she sent a manifestation? You will obediently become a slave...! I will personally cut off your limbs and bring you to Japan! Reporter, make sure to convey this message. Understand?"

"Yes, I understand!"

"Cheng Zihan! Be prepared!"

The Sword King, showing madness while pointing at the camera.

Cheng Zihan frowned at the sight of his extremely ugly appearance.

"To
