Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 174
[Level Up with God Episode 174]
* * *
Level.
As far as Yuwon knew, there was only one case where a level was given to someone other than the player.
‘Undead Chimera.’
Undead leveling up.
Because of its existence, the ranking of undead chimeras later rose much higher than at first.
After becoming a ranker, he quickly became a high ranker and was once again defeated by Jecheon Daeseong and completely disappeared from the tower.
As such, it was not uncommon for someone other than the player to level up.
But…
‘I’ve never heard of a Shinsu’s level rising.’
A message that goes beyond common sense.
Yuwon looked at the light that was slowly fading out and confirmed the main body of the egg that was sleeping inside.
In it.
Blink-
“…child?”
There was a small child the size of a palm sitting quietly looking at Yuwon, blinking his big eyes.
Black hair and eyes. Small and round body like a fairy.
“Abba?”
Does this mean he is a father?
“Ababa bababa?”
Looking at the words that followed, it seemed like that wasn’t the case.
It’s just that a child who hasn’t learned language is just randomly spitting out the sounds that come out of his mouth.
‘I really didn’t expect this.’
It was difficult and complicated.
Since I could feel the energy of the outerwear, I was expecting something like a small tentacle monster to appear.
But such a small child.
‘I feel like a babysitter.’
I didn’t really feel like it.
It depends on the player’s personality, but usually the Shinsu hatched from an egg usually fights at the forefront of the battlefield according to the will of its owner.
Yuwon was also thinking of using the hatched egg like that.
But no matter what, I couldn’t help but be pricked by my conscience to throw such a small thing at the enemy.
Besides…
“I can’t say anything like this.”
“Ababa?”
Yuwon turned his head in surprise at the voice he heard right next to his ear.
Before you know it, the guy is on your shoulder.
It seemed like proper communication would be difficult as I was tilting my head because I didn’t know what was being said.
‘When did you come?’
I knew that he was not just a child the size of the palm of his hand.
But it is possible to move like this without even being noticed.
“Abba bababa-.”
[Please name it ‘???’.]
A message that came to mind with a child’s crying.
name.
The naming wasn’t great, but it seemed like this message would keep coming to mind even if I didn’t name it.
‘What do I do with it…’
A moment of concern.
And soon, a familiar character appeared overlaid on the child’s face.
‘It looks just like a character from The Autumn Leaves Story.’
A game Yuwon enjoyed playing on Earth quite a long time ago.
Yuwon decided on a name for the guy who looked like the character whose head to body ratio was 1:1.
“Maple.”
[Would you like to name it ‘Autumn Leaves’?]
“No.”
Yuwon shook his head.
A child tilting his head.
If you had a name, you had to have a last name.
“Kim Danpung. “That’s your name.”
At those words, Pandora, who was next to her, turned her head and looked intently at Yuwon.
Still with an expressionless face.
No, with slightly frowning eyes.
Yuwon, who made eye contact with her, asked.
“why?”
“The name is strange.”
Next, Pandora’s gaze turned to a small child named ‘Kim Dan-pung’.
“And that’s scary.”
She was afraid as all the outer power in her body disappeared and all her emotions disappeared along with it.
‘This little guy?’
Does Pandora see things that she cannot see?
Probably not. No matter how high Pandora’s ranking and outstanding abilities were, she did not have a skill like Yuwon’s Hwaeye.
There is only one way to explain this.
‘Is it like an instinct?’
A power that has been in the body for a long time.
This little child has grown up by absorbing that power, hatched from an egg, and came out into the world.
Pandora’s instinct is to reject it as it is a force that has been tormenting her so far.
That was when Yuwon was watching Pandora.
[‘???’ has been given the name.]
[‘???’ likes the name.] [
The contract has been completed.]
[Afterwards, some of ‘Kim Danpung’s’ abilities will be shared.]
[ This is an invalid stat.]
[Part of the stat is replaced with ‘horsepower’.]
[Magic power has increased by 3.]
Messages suddenly appear.
Following that.
Shoot,
Yuwon’s vision turned upside down as he felt as if his body was floating, overcoming gravity.
The scenery inside the barracks was also Pandora standing next to it.
Everyone disappeared and I was left alone in an empty world.
no.
“Ababababa.”
The autumn leaves on my shoulders were still the same.
“Is this what you are?”
“Abba!”
“It keeps sounding like dad.”
Anyway, after taking a quick look, it seemed like it was correct.
Yuwon turned his head and looked ahead. In this black, empty space where gravity could not even be felt, something was appearing.
‘teeth?’ He was a
familiar
guy.
The mouth that appeared every time Al ate the outer.
The guy opened his big mouth and approached Yuwon.
I was out of breath.
It was the first time this guy’s teeth were pointed at him.
When I first ate Orochi’s body, I was reluctant because of the unfamiliar and bizarre feeling, but I didn’t feel as pressured as I do now.
What on earth could it be?
outer?
If so, it was clearly the highest level among them.
“Are you targeting me this time?”
The mouth came closer and closer.
Nothing could be seen inside the wide open mouth.
get eaten
It felt clear, but Yuwon strangely wasn’t scared.
‘It’s not dangerous.’
This was something created by the autumn leaves on my shoulder.
Or maybe it’s this guy himself.
It’s not dangerous.
Yuwon was so confident that he entered the guy’s mouth.
That moment.
Kwasik-!
[‘Skill: Predator’ has been acquired.]
A message came to mind and the guy entered Yuwon’s mind.
Woe!
My vision came back.
The weightless state disappeared and the scene inside the barracks was visible again.
Yuwon quickly recalled the message from before with his eyes sparkling.
‘Predator?’
There are three stats resulting from egg hatching. These were all fairly high magic stats.
Immediately, a feeling of fullness that was completely different from just a moment ago surged throughout my body.
This alone was quite successful, and I also gained additional skills.
Yuwon hurriedly checked his skills.
[Predator]
# Grade: ???
# Proficiency: 0.98%
# Unknown beings whose names are unclear. Summons a monster that eats them.
# Additional stat increases depending on the size of the target.
It was a skill that perfectly suited its name.
The unknown entity probably refers to the ‘outer’.
This power took the form of a skill and fell asleep inside Yuwon.
‘They said they would share some of their abilities… Did they also include skills?’
The mouth I saw just now.
It was a predator, and it clearly got inside of him.
Predator.
A skill that eats up the outer layer and absorbs its power.
‘You mean you can eat those guys and become stronger?’
At that moment, Yuwon remembered the group of Outer Gods spread out in front of him.
At the time, they felt like a huge disaster, like a fierce wave. However, when I thought back to that time with this skill, I felt truly ironic.
“It’s almost dinner.”
Eat those guys and become stronger?
I imagined it.
Then I got goosebumps.
“Crazy…”
This was a problem on a different level than simply one powerful skill.
It was an ability that would completely change what Yuwon had planned.
Because Yuwon was going to continue to encounter Outers in the future, whether inside or outside of this tower.
-What are the odds?
About half a year ago.
This was the question asked by Son Goku’s twelfth clone.
-well. As of now, I’m not sure if it’s worth a penny.
-Is that all you need?
-The important thing is that there is something called probability. As I said before, I’ve barely plugged a broken hole right now.
Closed the broken hole.
Those words were very appropriate at the time.
All he had done up to that point was to prevent Hephaestus from joining Olympus and to uncover the relationship between Lancelot and Olympus, which was the beginning of Ragnarok.
Even now that Hercules had been brought in, I thought that the probability had not changed.
But…
‘10%.’
If you have this power, the story will be different.
The probability has increased significantly.
Hope arose in a fight that was previously thought to be nearly impossible.
The egg that was being thrown at the rock has now turned into a fairly hard rock.
From now on, it was time to increase the size of the stone.
Yuwon looked at the autumn leaves.
Yuwon smiled the happiest he had since returning, feeling a sense of stability that he hadn’t felt in a long time.
“Punga.”
“Abba?”
“You were such a lucky person.”
“Abba ababa!”
Maple, happy to hear praise for the first time, raised her small arms and burst into laughter.
I guess I’m feeling pretty good.
Hatching an egg was a different concept from simply obtaining a usable divine beast.
[Name: Kim Danpung]
[Level: 1]
[Strength: 1]
[Dexterity: 1]
[Stamina: 1]
[Sense: 1]
[Strength: 100]
[Skills]
[Predator ????]
[Growth rate: 0%]
[When you achieve 100% growth rate, you will grow to the next level regardless of level.]
[Special feature 1: Recognizes you as the owner.]
[Special feature 2: It is still somewhat arbitrary.]
Level and A divine beast with great stats.
Nothing like that existed in this tower.
Unless you are created like a chimera, being given a level means you have been chosen by the system.
also.
This meant that Maple was not like a divine beast, but like a player.
‘The basic stats are poor. The only stat that is significantly higher is spiritual power…’
Perhaps this stat plays the same role as the magic power of ordinary players.
‘I can’t think of a way to get him to participate in battle right now.’
The stats are poor and no skills other than the predator have been revealed.
It looks like Yuwon will probably have to reveal each skill one by one later.
More than anything, I wondered how I could make this little guy fight.
‘This is enough for now.’
The egg hatched, autumn leaves came out, and through the contract with him, Yuwon gained an ability more valuable than any skill he had ever hoped for.
I don’t know how great Maple is, but I got more rewards than I originally expected, so this is enough for now.
Right now, I just feel like the autumn leaves in front of me are cute and pretty.
I even gave him a last name and named him Kim Danpung, so I felt like I had a child.
“Punga.”
“Abba?”
The guy who got off Yuwon’s shoulder and crawled around the barracks turned his head.
Round eyes.
Yuwon looked into those eyes and smiled.
“Let’s do well in the future.”
