The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 333

World BattleNet Federation Headquarters in New York.

There, high-ranking officials from each country's federation gathered for a serious meeting.

"The agenda for today's meeting is the evolution bonus of the Space Arena."

"Brainwave affinity +1... What are the effects?"

"We have confirmed that the power of the wizards' lightning magic has increased by 10 to 30 percent."

"Coincidentally, in the past few days, several players who received gifts have shown talents related to electricity. It was a very rare talent."

"Hmm..."

"Even though it's just +1, the effects are clearly visible."

Sung JiHan received the brainwave affinity bonus that applied to all of humanity.

Although it had only been a few days since obtaining it, the effects were clearly visible.

It was a situation where the overall power of humanity had increased, different from when health was improved.

"In addition, after Sung JiHan's participation in the arena, the Space Arena category has been newly opened to players."

"The Space Arena will be open to humanity."

"Players above level 250 can participate in the arena."

When Sung JiHan achieved a 3-game winning streak in the Space Arena.

For players above level 250, the system opened a new Space Arena window.

"Above level 250..."

"That was the maximum level during the previous tutorial period."

"Then can't other players also participate in the arena? If they are above level 250, it would be great if everyone participated and somehow obtained the racial bonus."

"But the participation fee is so expensive..."

"How much is it?"

"It's 100 billion GP."

"What? 100 billion GP?"

The attendees of the meeting were shocked to hear the outrageous price.

100 billion GP.

Considering the recent exchange rate of 2 dollars per GP.

The money needed to participate in the arena was 200 billion dollars.

"No, wait, did Sung JiHan pay that expensive fee to participate in the arena?"

"I saw a video of him with a VIP card, so the participation fee was waived."

"Hehe. He saved 200 billion dollars."

"This is... it will be difficult to participate recklessly."

The federation officials sighed with regret.

They wanted to deploy a large number of players to obtain the racial bonus if conditions allowed.

But the ticket price was too expensive, even if it was expensive.

"Still, wouldn't it be better for the federation to sponsor one or two players to participate?"

"No, how are you going to raise 200 billion dollars?"

"The arena is a route to obtain the racial bonus. I think it would be good for the federation to receive funding from people to participate."

"Hmm... funding..."

"That's fine."

The previous racial bonus that improved physical strength had a significant impact on all of humanity.

If they were to raise funds to obtain it.

Among the signs of humanity, there would be no shortage of people participating in the funding.

The opening of funding itself was passed without much opposition at the federation meeting.

And.

"After the funding is raised, which player should participate? Sung JiHan is the most powerful player in the world, but since Sung is exempt from the participation fee, it's not necessary."

"Well..."

With 200 billion dollars raised, the question of who should participate in the arena arose.

The attendees of the meeting began to exchange glances.

"Of course, Oliver, who is ranked second, should participate, shouldn't he?"

The first to appeal for a player was the US side.

"Oliver is a magician, isn't he? Looking at the arena matches, it seems that 1:1 battles are mainly fought, and it seems that magicians are a bit..."

"It's a prejudice to say that magicians are weak in 1:1 battles. It may be true when their level is low, but at the top level, they all have ways to deal with it!"

"Look at Sung JiHan's opponents. They are all of similar size, so wouldn't magic be effective against large-sized enemies?"

"Then what about our player, Je Galheon? Although Oliver is ranked first among magicians, if Je Galheon draws the Eight Trigrams well, he can use even more powerful magic than Oliver."

"That story only applies if he draws the Eight Trigrams well."

"No, what about Balan? Although his level is lower than the two magicians, he has two status windows and can even fight alone as a support class."

"Sung JiHan was evaluated as a player with poor control..."

"When was that evaluation made? Balan has improved a lot!"

Oliver, Je Galheon, and now Balan.

Amidst the discussion of the top-class magicians of the present era.

A representative from the Korean Federation quietly raised their hand.

"What about Yoon Sejin?"

"The Sword King... He is qualified as well."

"But can he compete against the giant players?"

"On the contrary, warriors are perfect for 1:1 battles. We believe that it is right for the Sword King to go out."

"No. Then it will become a situation where only Korean players dominate. It's not right to give benefits to only one country!"

"No, it's not a benefit. Sung JiHan participated in the arena on his own and gave a gift to humanity. Honestly, has the Federation done anything for him?"

"Well, that's true, but..."

"We support the Sword King."

Thus, the conference room became chaotic with the debate over who should go.

But what ended such chaotic discussion was...

"Oh. Oh...! Sung JiHan..."

"He obtained a racial bonus again!"

It was Sung JiHan's second bonus obtained.

* * *

Space Arena, Master League match.

Sung JiHan was still overwhelming his opponents.

No matter how many of them were mostly sub-players raised by the Holy See.

To Sung JiHan, who defeated the Holy See itself, they were not worthy opponents.

"The Grandmaster League will be interesting. I might encounter some decent enemies."

And so, even against the sixth opponent, Sung JiHan emerged victorious once again, receiving another special reward.

[Special reward, 'Race Evolution Bonus' is given.]

[Strength stat increases by +1.]

The alien races looked at this in disbelief.

-This player, why is he so lucky?

-Even if you make it to the finals in the arena, it's rare to not receive a single evolution bonus...

-By the way, is this player already on a 6-game winning streak? This player is definitely strong.

-Humanity... they will quickly escape from being the lowest rank.

-One player can change the fate of a species.

The Sung JiHan channel, which has already surpassed 15,000 simultaneous viewers from outer space.

Unlike the early days, his odds have gradually decreased as his skills have been verified, so betting hasn't been as exciting.

-How many powers does he have to handle?

-When he uses the Shadow Sword, it seems to show emptiness... and with the spear, it shows a fiery power that overwhelms dragons.

-Especially the fire side, it's too strong. Isn't it related to the Red Administrator?

-Hahaha, are you comparing yourself to the Red Administrator just because you use the power of fire and lightning?

-It's not common to have a player this strong at the Master League level... Isn't this enough to become a Grand Master?

-He's really going against the Red Administrator and the Grand Master.

The viewers from outer space were showing interest in the power Sung JiHan wields.

A player who suddenly appeared like a mutation from the lowest rank.

They saw it as a good spectacle, as it reached his immeasurable limits.

Meanwhile, the human viewers...

-Wow, strength improvement!

-He's getting more bonuses again!

-But can you actually feel the strength improvement? I sit in a chair all day so I wouldn't know, haha.

-I tested this at the gym, and lifting weights feels much easier now. I'm trying to add 20kg to the barbell.

-Oh, this is definitely noticeable... I can hold a baby with just one hand, haha.

Sung JiHan could clearly feel the effects of the strength improvement from the rewards he obtained.

While the perception may vary for each person, there was a general increase of 10 to 20 percent in perceived strength.

Unlike the affinity for mental attributes, this effect was practically felt by everyone.

"Uncle, I really felt it this time."

The next day was the final match in the Space Arena.

Sung JiHan, who logged out of the Space Arena, watched Yoon SeA flexing her arm muscles.

"When did your muscles become like that?"

"Uncle, I'm also a top-tier archer now. I need muscles like this."

"Oh, really?"

"Yes. With the Gift of Eternal Waiting, I'm catching up to the selected players quickly. There are only a few left until I become the number one archer."

After boasting about her muscles a few times, Yoon SeA sparkled her eyes towards Sung JiHan.

"But if we continue like this, will we become a lower rank species?"

"You were just lucky this time. Normally, when participating in the arena, it's considered lucky to get only one evolution bonus."

"Ah... Your Majesty. Is that so? But with you, Uncle, I might eventually become a lower rank species, right?"

"Lower rank... If your human race continues to participate in the BattleNet, you might even aim for the intermediate rank."

The Shadow Queen, who had escaped from Sung JiHan's arm, glanced at him for a moment.

"I, the one who will become your ruler, will bring you all the bonuses."

"I rely on you so much, Uncle... I'll grow up quickly and get the evolution bonus too!"

"No, you have to be liberated from BattleNet before that."

"Liberated?"

"Yes."

The BattleNet that ultimately led humanity to destruction in the previous life.

To Sung JiHan, this BattleNet was a system that he must escape from someday.

However.

"But why would you need to escape when you're doing so well?"

"...Huh?"

Yoon Sae-ah tilted her head as if she didn't understand what he was saying.

"No, isn't that true? There's no one in the league who can match Uncle. And humanity is enjoying this effect while receiving racial bonuses, right?"

"Your humanity is blessed. Sung JiHan, like a Sung JiHan, is really rare... Most lower-level races have become extinct, but one star is leading everyone."

"Yeah! But Uncle is here. Coming out of Battle.net... Aren't you regretful?"

Sung JiHan furrowed his brow at her words.

"Hey, don't you remember losing to the last place in the league when I wasn't there?"

"Well, if Uncle is always there, it's fine!"

Sung JiHan said optimistically, asking what the problem was if he was there.

"My goodness. Did you really think about leaving Battle.net with that power?"

Even the Shadow Queen widened her eyes and looked at Sung JiHan as if she couldn't understand.

"In my opinion, you have enough talent to aim for the Grand Seat. While you are growing like that, humanity will face a period of evolution called the upheaval. Instead of the weakling you are now, you will gain a powerful body suitable for surviving in the Battle.net world... Even if you only rise from the lowest level to the intermediate level, humanity will gain competitiveness in the Battle.net world."

"So, in your opinion, humanity should stay here?"

"If it were not for you. There is a reliable safety device like Player Sung JiHan... If I were the leader of humanity, I would make that decision."

Sung JiHan let out a bitter laugh at her words.

"As long as I'm alive."

Now, he was safe as a candidate for the Grand Seat.

As his level rises, he will eventually reach the Grand Seat, and then the safety device will disappear.

Perhaps when that time comes, he will be in a position to clash with the gods over the soul.

Humanity was optimistic, trusting only Sung JiHan.

But the reality in front of the parties concerned was that the threat of death had been temporarily postponed.

"Let's talk about this later."

"Yeah, okay. Rest, Uncle~"

As Yoon Sae-ah waved her hand and left the room.

Ding!

[It's been a while since I sent a message directly. I have something important to ask you.]

A message suddenly appeared in front of Sung JiHan.

It was from Pithia, the fourth servant of the gods.

[Please use my power in the upcoming arena finals.]

"If it's power, it's the Ice Heaven Sword..."

[Yes. Please find one thing there.]

Sung JiHan blinked at her words.

What should I find in the finals?

However.

[If you find it, the god can sleep a little longer.]

After reading Pithia's subsequent message, Sung JiHan's eyes widened.

"...Is that also a prophecy?"

[Yes.]

This is a condition that cannot be refused.

"Alright. Let's give it a try."

Sung JiHan accepted her proposal.
