Chapter 22: (1): Season 1 – Preparation


    Hyun-seok jumped up.


    Normal Mode? Who did it?


    Me!


    What?


    I entered the Normal mode!


    Jong-won started to exin excitedly, spitting as he spoke. He pointed out the changes that urred when he switched from Easy mode to Normal mode, such as the creation of an inventory and the generation of H/P and M/P. In addition, an information window for attack power and defense power was added to the stats page.


    These changes were somewhat expected. The yer system was progressing in a manner simr to online games, and people had predicted these changes at least once.


    However, there was another change that people did not expect.


    Sothe Warrior of Lightning, right?


    Hyun-seok chuckled and then asked seriously. Jong-won, who knew why Hyun-seok wasughing, defended himself, I didnte up with the name. The system named me the Warrior of Lightning.


    ording to the notification, the first yer to transition from Easy to Normal is the Warrior of Lightning. So, he got a special ss as a reward and achievement recognition.


    Hyun-seok swallowed his saliva.


    If there is a special ss


    There must be a normal ss too.


    Themonly known general sses and hidden sses. It seems that such a system also applies to the yer System. Hyun-seok fell into thought for a moment.


    If the Lightning Warrior is a special ss then the general ss is just a warrior?


    He couldnt be sure yet. The only person who had switched from Easy Mode to Normal Mode and joined the yer System was Jong-won, and there were no other subjects topare and analyze. However, he could make some guesses.


    Whats your strength stat right now?


    Me? Officially, its the worlds highest record. 72. Actually, its 82.


    ording to Jong-won, it was incredibly difficult to raise stats in the first ce. But then, Hyun-seok had umted achievements by ying monsters with him. Achievements were not easy. Unless one had a ridiculous ability like Hyun-seoks, it was a very difficult task. It wasnt called an achievement for nothing.


    Most of the dungeons recognized as easy achievements were not scattered all over the world. In the case of Korea, only a total of 19 dungeons had been discovered, and Hyun-seok had cleared most of them. Apart from that, there wasnt much else to umte achievements. Hyun-seok was special in that he could umte a lot of achievements, and Jong-won had been able to obtain a lot of bonus stats by ying monsters with him, announcing his strength stat as 72. And that record has not been broken yet. It was a subject that showed just how difficult it was to obtain bonus stats.


    Hyun-seok said, It seems that sses are determined based on stat distribution. Except for the early stages, you just focused entirely on strength, right?


    Of course. Strength is everything for closebat.


    Overall,bat yers were divided into four categories. The mostmon type was an attack-focused yer who mainly raised strength but also appropriately mixed in agility to have basic abilities in fast evasion and movement. Another type was a distraction-focused yer who mainly raised agility but also appropriately mixed in strength to use fast evasion and movement as an advantage to confuse monsters and scatter their attention while attacking. This could be applied to Lee Chae-rim, who had established a temporary guild with Hyun-seok in the past. The third type was a style that focused on raising stamina to increase their endurance, but it was actually dangerous and not very useful, so there were almost no yers of this type.


    And another type is the one that goes all-in on the strength stat, aiming for a single powerful blow while prepared to endure one or two monster attacks. As the H/P system had not yet been activated and the risk of death was very high if done incorrectly, this type of attack-oriented yer was essentially avoided bybat yers.


    Jong-won shrugged.


    My judgment was right. The H/P has been activated now. Then I can know when Im going to die, and just push forward with a body block and hit recklessly.


    So what are you going to do? You can only hold out for a few minutes on the battlefield alone.


    Jong-won had very little time to unfold the battlefield. This was because the skill level for opening the battlefield had reached level 4. Now, it was less than 30 seconds. When the battlefield level was 1, it was 3 minutes, and as the battlefield level increased, the radius widened but the time became shorter. It was simr to not being able to use a better battlefield due to it being tied to M/P.


    Min-seo is here. Just follow Min-seo, whats the problem?


    Jong-wonughed as if it were nothing. Min-seo mainly focuses on intelligence, but also invests in agility. She raised her agility as a precaution for unexpected idents, but in fact, Hyun-seok forced her to do so, and Min-seo was in the midst of investing a lot of stats in intelligence.


    Hyun-seok asked.


    How did you enter the normal mode?


    A quest for entering normal mode came up.
