Chapter 1.4: Reinforcement Hero - 4 [You have defeated a Lv2 Treasure Eater. You have achieved a feat of defeating an enemy with a higher level than you. Your Strength and Health permanently increase by 2.] [As a reward for your achievement, the proficiency of your combat-related skills have been increased. The Beginner Sprint skill has become Lv4.] [Quest complete! Please check the treasure that the Treasure Eater left behind.] [You have gained the minimap. If you close your eyes, you will be able to see the minimap.] [We won...] [We defeated the monster. I need rest...] There were only two Pauls... or Skeleton Soldiers that had survived until the end of the battle. Lee Shin Woo hadn't tried to save them, but they had managed to survive. However, all their bones were cracked in the aftermath of the fierce battle, and it was difficult for them to even stand! "Paul, I'll never forget the time we spent together." [Ugh!?] [What are you doing... keuahk!] Lee Shin Woo...

Chapter 1.3: Reinforcement Hero - 3 [Kuweeeeehk!]  The Treasure Eater charged at him with a shriek. Its jagged fence-like teeth within its open mouth radiated with a dull light. "Sprint!" [Kuhiaaaah!]  If he was chewed up by that thing, he knew it wouldn't end with him dying only once or twice, so Lee Shin Woo completely abandoned any thought of a frontal assault. He activated his Sprint skill and ran away.  Immediately after, the Treasure Eater brushed past his side and the following wind pressure felt as though a subway train had passed by him, and his bones itched. There was also the foul stench of rotting corpses.  [Kueeeeeeh!]  Perhaps it hadn't expected that he'd dodge it so cleanly, and the Treasure Eater, that had labored in vain, shrieked again and twisted its body around. It seemed like it would take quite a long time for it to make a U-turn, as its body was too large when compared to the width of the passageway.  "Heup...!"  This was hi...

Chapter 1.2: Reinforcement Hero - 2 The moment he used his Bone Reinforcement skill, the skeleton's arm bone flickered with a weak flame and oxidized in the air, followed by a stinging feeling in his left arm.  [You have reinforced your arm bone. Strength has increased by 1. Absorbing a portion of the Skeleton Soldier's memories and experiences.] [That spear isn't meant to be swung like that. Look. Though it may look like this, this is the spear technique that was taught to me by the strongest general of the Empire, General Leofield.] And that was it.  "..." Um, alright. He didn't have high expectations from the get-go. On the contrary, he should be happy that his strength permanently increased by 1. He didn't know how long it would continue to increase his stats by 1 whole point, but if he put in the effort, step by step, he should be able to at least confront a Skeleton Soldier and win easily.  Lee Shin Woo did his very best to appease his disappoin...

Chapter 1.1: Reinforcement Hero - 1 After he had accepted that he would have to deal with a skeleton body (bald and impotent) from now on (even he thought it was an incredible feat of composure), Lee Shin Woo began to earnestly research his status.  If you know the enemy and you know yourself, you need not fear the results of a hundred battles. It was a basic principle to know oneself before entering the battlefield. Though he still lacked the courage to actually seek out his enemies. [Lee Shin Woo] [Normal Skeleton Blessed by God] [Lv - 1] [Strength - 13 Agility - 13 Health - 13 Magic - 3] [Passive skills - Invisible Heart Lv1] [Active skills - Bone Reinforcement Lv1] 'I get that I'm a skeleton, but what does this blessing thing mean?' As expected, he was most concerned about his class. No matter how he thought about it, this wasn't a blessing, it was a curse. What exactly is the blessing? When he carefully thought about it, a series of text appeared, just like wh...

Chapter 1: Prologue. This Trade is a Draw <Prologue. This Trade is a Draw> "Now, let's clear things up." The woman put down the tobacco pipe she had been gently biting down on, puffed out the smoke, and licked her lips. She was a beautiful woman with striking red, wavy hair, but more importantly was the fact that she was a 'god'.  "So, what you desire is... an immortal body and infinite growth potential?" "Yes!" "Nope, not possible. Go back." "Aw, don't be like that." The man, a 27-year-old man called Lee Shin Woo, sat opposite from the woman, separated by an antique desk. He was an ordinary office worker who liked fantasy novels and games. Well, at least until he died.  And now that he'd died, he was a hero that had been chosen by a god. Probably.  "I heard that I still had a long life ahead of me, yet I died prematurely. Shouldn’t I receive at least this much fr...
