The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 5
Episode 5
It was truly a strange thing.
The shadow of a dead creature was already writhing and rising.
[Moonlight Knight Karuna’s Shadow is successfully summoned.]
[Attempt to pass it on.]
[Karuna’s Shadow fails to replicate Moonlight Charm.] [
The grade of Shadow Summon is very low. ]
[High wisdom assists the ability.]
[Moonlight Clash deteriorates into Full Moon Clash.]
[Karuna’s Shadow succeeds in duplicating Moonlight Clash.]
[The grade of Shadow Summon increases . Very low.]
[High wisdom assists the ability.]
[Moonlight Charge is inherited in its intact form.] [
The grade of Shadow Summon is very low.]
[Summons only exert 20% of their original power. ]
Karuna’s shadow looked at the original body from which he was born.
Although Karuna’s body was originally bloodless, the body of Karuna, who collapsed with her head crushed, was pale enough to evoke regret.
Karuna’s shadow saw snowfall this time. And then I got down on one knee towards him.
“I am yours.”
Karuna’s warm voice filled the night sky.
When Kang Seol saw him, he called him arrogant and erased Karuna, who had been chasing him tirelessly, from his memory.
Now Karuna was his faithful attendant.
Those watching Snowman were taken aback by the sight of Snowman using Karuna, whom he had been fighting all along, as a summon.
‘Ah, I got it’ sponsored Madness by 100!
[The dirty smell was coming from my armpits…]
– It’s not sexy at all… Why doesn’t it look like a newbie…
– This was the perfect strategy haha. It’s the first and the best;
– I never make a foothold mistake;; In the other room, I did a lot of tap dancing while stepping on the steps a few times, and it ended in a weird ending;
– What is that! There is no penalty for shadow summoning?
– Looking at the settings book, it looks like the ability scores and ability penalties are severe. I was worried for no reason haha. Looking at the label, I see that it really is.
– Sigh… I thought it was a balbung haha.
When Kangseol succeeded in obtaining the achievement, numerous beings came to see him.
[‘I heard this place is cool’ entered ‘Snowman’s’ room.] [‘
I heard a rumor’ entered ‘Snowman’s’ room.] [
‘Found it my love’ said ‘ You have entered ‘Snowman’s’ room.]
…
– Is this your room?
– Yes, that’s right! I saw it!
– Karuna Murya; Why is it dark?
– They say it was stolen. Please take the post down.
– I absolutely hate the development of NTR ㅡㅡ
– In this industry, it is rather a reward.
Snowfall crossed to the safe area and checked Karuna’s condition.
[Moonlight Knight Karuna]
Title: None
Grade: Hero
Race: Shadow
Level: 1
HP: 240/240
MP: 140/140
Abilities: 0
Strength 22 Agility 20 Stamina 24
Intelligence 15 Wisdom 14 Mental Power 18
Talent: Dignity 1 Escort 1
“It’s okay.”
In fact, it wasn’t okay and didn’t make sense.
From what Kangseol remembered, summoned beasts were divided into 10 levels.
A rare grade with a large number of normal grade boss monsters that are ordinary monsters.
There were many summoners who usually used rare grades.
‘And Karuna is hero grade.’
why?
Snowfall knew that Karuna was a hero, but she didn’t know why.
Among the boss monsters encountered in the beginning, he was quite powerful and had a variety of abilities.
I thought maybe that was reflected.
There were various levels above the hero level, including legend, transcendence, mystery, and wonder.
Although it still felt like snowfall was too far away to see.
‘Right now, with just this amount of harvest, survival is guaranteed!’
It was a situation like a summoner’s dream, as it was a summoned beast that was much more powerful than its owner.
‘Shadow summoning is one of the few summoning arts with very generous conditions…’
The corpse of the shadow-cast monster you defeated.
As long as that was met, summoning was possible.
Because of this, I was able to obtain summons that I would not have otherwise been able to obtain. Like right now.
But is there a job that is perfect from the beginning?
Of course, there were many problems.
‘Summoning is easy, but on the other hand, the situation can be difficult…’
First of all, the abilities of the summoned beast are determined by the abilities of the monster that was the original owner of the shadow.
When you resurrect a goblin, a shadow summon that is weaker than a simple goblin is created.
Of course, that could be compensated to some extent if the level of the shadow summon was similar to the level of the monster.
‘But in the current situation, that was a positive thing.’
Karuna’s original abilities were enormous, so naturally the abilities of the shadow summoner that cloned Karuna were also enormous.
A shadow summoning technique that can be used as a summon if you can defeat the opponent.
‘Luckily there was no mistake.’
Maybe I was lucky that Moonlight Dance was chosen as my first adventure.
Most of the other tutorial adventures involved fighting, even simple battles.
In that case, he would have had to fight with Shadow Hand, which was his only ability at level 1 except for Shadow Summon, and would
have struggled quite a bit with Shadow Hand, which was slightly inferior to the abilities of other casters.
‘The compensation wouldn’t have been nice either. The summoned beasts were probably just shabby.’
Anyway, there was no need to worry about something that didn’t even happen.
As a result, I obtained a powerful summoned beast, and now I have finally acquired the true character of a summoner.
Snowfall approached the brilliantly shining moon box in the safe area.
Stand tall.
As he stopped, he suddenly realized that he was smiling.
There was no way my life of 17 years of gaming would change in an instant.
Now he was enjoying this moment.
He was a madman in the world of eternity.
‘…What do you think?’
Crash.
Kugugugugugung.
A brilliant light emanated from the box.
Hwaaaaaaa!
[Check the moon box, which is the highest reward.]
[Your level increases.]
[Your level increases.] [
Acquire an ability score.]
[Acquire a moonlight sword.]
[Full moon. Obtain the staff of.]
[Acquire the Moon Seed.]
[Acquire 271 gold coins.]
[Acquire 13 medium red potions.]
[Acquire 7 small blue potions.]
…
Snowfall checked the status window when she saw the message that her level had increased.
[Snowman]
Title: The one who dropped the moon
Race: Human
Level: 3
HP: 120/120
MP: 200/200
Abilities: 8
Strength 10 Dexterity 10 Stamina 12 Intelligence
12 Wisdom 22 Spirituality 12
Talents: Cooking 1 Perception 1
Ability : Shadow Summon 1 Shadow Hand
Shadow Space: 400 / 850
Level up twice.
The Eternal World gives you a floating ability score of 4 and a fixed ability score of 4 when you level up.
Fixed abilities fixedly increased the abilities set for each job, and dynamic abilities could be raised in the direction the player wanted.
‘A shadow summoner must always focus on wisdom.’
Snowfall gave all 8 of her ability points to Wisdom.
In most cases, when the summoner levels up, the summoner’s level also adjusts to that level.
When Snowfall checked, Karuna had already reached level 3.
Unlike him, Snowfall distributed Karuna’s fluid abilities in a balanced manner.
Next, check your compensation.
I acquired some small materials, but they were items of little significance.
“As expected…”
Snowfall focused on the three most important items obtained from the moon box.
[Moonlight Sword]
Grade: Rare
Appropriate level: 1 – 10
Attack power: 37 – 42
Durability: 35/35
Weight: 1.4kg
This is a sword that Moonlight Knight Karuna has used since before he became an apostle.
Basic ability: Strength + 5 Stamina + 5
Special ability: When attacking using moonlight, the range and damage increase by 20%.
‘This is a fixed drop.’
The Moonlight Sword was equipment that could be obtained unconditionally when defeating Karuna.
The levels of equipment ranged from miscellaneous to general, unique, rare, treasure, and levels above that.
If it’s rare, it’s a great reward for a tutorial adventure.
Snowfall looked at the bluish sword for a moment and then handed it over to Karuna, who was now his pet.
[Equip the Moonlight Sword to Karuna, the Moonlight Knight.]
Another unique feature of the Shadow Summoner.
Summons grow individually and can be equipped with equipment.
While for normal summoners, the summoner grows and the summoners grow as a result of the trickle-down effect, the shadow summoner is the only one where the summoners achieved individual growth.
It took a lot of investment and effort, but considering the rewards it would bring, it was well worth it.
[Full Moon Staff]
Grade: Rare
Appropriate Level: 1 – 8
Attack Power: 22
Durability: 32/32
Weight: 0.8kg
A staff imbued with the energy of the sacred moon.
It is somewhat heavy.
Basic ability: Wisdom + 10
Special ability: All abilities increase by 5% at night.
– Wow haha I read this roughly and it says wisdom is very low in importance among character abilities?
– I lost one item seed. If they had come out with something other than a wand, I would have sold it lol
– Um… can I pick it up again?
– Hey newbie… pay attention. It’s a Risé angle.
Contrary to the negative reactions of those watching him, Kang Seol wore a cane with a smile on his face.
‘The most appropriate item was found in the current situation.’
The wisdom option has often been regarded as ‘Gyereuk’ by players in the eternal world.
This was because, excluding the increase in maximum MP and other minor effects, it was less efficient compared to other abilities.
‘But that’s a different job.’
Summoner.
No, unlike other ordinary summoners, wisdom was very important to shadow summoners.
This was not because the maximum MP was important, but because most of the Shadow Summoner’s abilities increased as Wisdom increased.
Shadow summoners are largely divided into three types, one of which is an all-purpose summoner who uses both magic and summoning.
However, he was the worst type because he only spoke omnipotently and was extremely ambiguous.
Another type is the gangster summoner type. It was like a stampede, with the small shadows stretched out as much as possible.
It was stronger than other types of summoners in the beginning, but its power rapidly decreased after the beginning.
By that time, the intimidation of a single boss monster had changed. Probably enough to ignore minor scratches.
And the last type of summoner is the elite type.
This summoner type, which has high-grade summons, did not handle many summons.
However, thanks to the high potential of each summon, it was the most powerful type when grown well.
The downside is that it is very difficult to have that many summons.
That’s why it’s like hell to get past the beginning.
The type of summoner that Kang Seol wanted to foster was the last type.
And for this type, wisdom was more important than other types.
Things that increase as wisdom increases include the summon’s loyalty, charisma, overall ability, efficiency improvement, success rate when the summon is revived as a shadow, and the probability of the summon becoming enlightened. The last type is the one most closely related to this
.
The higher the level of summons, the more difficult it is to maintain loyalty, and in some cases, if the summoner’s charisma is low, they may rebel against the summoner. This is why the last type is most closely related to wisdom.
So it was natural for Kangseol to get Manwol’s staff, which is full of wisdom, and to like it.
‘Is everything going well?’
[Moon Seed]
Grade: Specific
Appropriate level: 1 – 5
Weight: 0.1kg
Special ability: Can be consumed in various ways. The effect is unknown.
– What is this?
– Uh… it’s on the drop item list. But it doesn’t say what the effect is.
– Is it a dud?
– Don’t eat it! Jiji, Jiji!
‘…As I live, this sometimes pops up.’
An item that I had only watched others eat for 17 years but had never actually obtained.
‘Early lottery item Moon Seed.’
Once you eat it, you will definitely benefit.
It was a greater benefit to gain good abilities or even one related ability in the process.
And Snowfall also knew how to maximize the performance of this item.
‘It’s impossible to consume it right now… Have you finished checking the equipment?’
Finally, Kang Seol confirmed his newly acquired title.
[Title: The One Who Dropped the Moon]
Related Achievements: Moon Hunting (Adventure: Dance of the Moonlight Night)
Special Ability: Moon attribute abilities increase by 5%. This also applies to summons.
Snowfall smoothed her chin.
‘It would also apply to Karuna.’
It might have been an ambiguous special ability for others, but for Kangseol, it was another upgrade to his specs.
‘So far so good, let’s move on.’
* * *
Jiiiing –
Snowfall’s body, which has been inspected, has been sent to the next adventure.
[The next adventure begins.]
[The second adventure begins.]
[Adventure 2. Five Friendly Brothers]
Adventure 2. ‘Five Friendly Brothers’
There is a tribe of terrible trolls on the southern sharp rocky mountain of the eternal world of Pandea. I live.
The Rocktooth tribe has an unusual method of electing their leaders and an even more unusual method of maintaining the tribe.
Their leader is currently ‘Tyrant Jamad’.
Weaken the Stone Fang tribe by any means necessary.
Objective: Kill at least one of the Stone Fang tribe leaders. If you fail to achieve your goal, you die.
Current remaining time 「20:47」
‘Is it… around noon?’
If we complete the mission, probably around tomorrow morning, we will move to the safe zone.
Adventure 2 Rest 1.
In the world of eternity, adventures usually proceeded this way except in special cases, so that part will be the same.
‘By the way, there are five brothers… It’s an adventure with quite a bit of difficulty.’
There were 5 targets to aim for, so it was an adventure with many variables and quite a bit of difficulty.

[I checked the settings book. It is said that the Shadow Summoner’s core ability is wisdom.]
– Please take that information back with me. I don’t want to take it.
– So the cane was a huge advantage earlier?
– Did the Amanbos laugh among themselves?
– I didn’t laugh
– I didn’t laugh
either – I thought I had won something so I stayed quiet ㅇㅇ
Hwiiiiing –
The adventure started halfway up the sharp rocky mountain where the sun was still up.
It wasn’t a very high mountain, but the terrain was rugged and there were guards everywhere, so it seemed like it would take quite some time to climb.
‘It’s a strange feeling to actually see what I saw on the board. But… why isn’t there one?’
In fact, as soon as Kang Seol saw what the new adventure was, he was caught in wonder.
‘weird. Five Brothers is a party-only adventure due to its difficulty….’
Since there were five opponents, there had to be five people on this side as well. The five brothers he played with in his dreams always played with five people.
“Wait… there are 20 hours and 47 minutes left?”
Could there be such an ambiguous time limit?
In Dance in the Moonlight, they gave me exactly 6 hours, but suddenly in the next adventure, they gave me a messy time limit.
‘This… doesn’t feel good.’
Snowfall hurriedly manipulated the adventure interface floating in the corner of her vision to check the truth.
And I found out why the time limit was messily misaligned and why the party members were not visible at the starting point.
“…this.”
– Party member 1 ‘Ahn Hye-eun’ (Status: Dead)
– Party member 2 ‘Danglang Fist Master’ (Status: Dead)
– Party member 3 ‘Noisy Man’ (Status: Dead)
– Party member 4 ‘Supreme Hwang Tae-ho’ (Status: Dead)
– Huh. ?Are they all dead?
– crazy;; How can I wake up like this??
– Dark Horse dies because of party members like this?
The five-person adventure had suddenly become a solo adventure for Kangseol.
His party members have already become corpses.
