Owner of Twilight Intuition – Chapter 113

‘But why is he selling the dungeon somewhere else?’

After catching the Succubus, I was curious about Raz’s intention to sell the dungeon somewhere other than the Emperor Guild, so I asked him the reason, but he didn’t answer. Since it was a dungeon Raz found, it wasn’t a problem where he sold it, so I just let it go, but I couldn’t help but be curious.

Anyway, after the dungeon raid was over, we used Return Scrolls to go back to town, and Raz, who used a Return Scroll for the first time, complained with a seemingly wronged expression, asking why he was the only one who wasn’t given one.

‘Hmm, come to think of it, I think there was a chance to give him a Return Scroll.’

It seems I forgot what happened then.

Well, after that, Raz bought 30 Return Scrolls from me and left to find another dungeon, and I focused on my crafting skills for the remaining time. Yua and Sina logged out for some reason, though.

‘By the way, when will I ever max out my crafting skill?’

I made weapons for the rest of the time, but the thought of my crafting skill not even leveling up once made me feel frustrated. Anyway, after wasting all my time crafting, I checked the logout message, left Twilight, and was browsing the internet forums.

[About skills attached to equipment.]

[Content: Some equipment has special cases where skills are attached. These skills uniquely have a cooldown time. Moreover, the time is basically several minutes, so you can only use them once in a while.

Of course, there are advantages. There is no consumption of Magic Power or Stamina at all. It’s a skill you can use anytime, as long as the cooldown is over.]

‘This is also a tip.’

Just in case, I read a little more and found out that equipment with skills attached can be sold at a higher price. Among them, equipment with Passive Skills attached is traded at almost 2-3 times the price, but I didn’t have any such equipment.

There’s a reason why they’re traded at a high price.

[Difference between normal bosses and raid bosses.]

[Content: Now that raid bosses are being raided one by one, there are still people who don’t know the difference between normal bosses and raid bosses. Simply put, raid bosses have insanely high attributes. Compared to normal bosses, whose attributes are roughly 10-20%, raid bosses have over 50% as a base. And because of those attributes, the difficulty of raiding raid bosses increases.

Since their attributes are high, the damage comes in almost ignoring defense, and their health is several times higher than that of existing bosses. Furthermore, raid bosses even use skills that players can never use, so they can never be easy. So, please think again when you’re facing a raid boss.]

“There was such a difference?”

So far, I’ve faced a total of three raid bosses. Turu, Ust, and lastly, Beksha, the Symbol of Fear. Among them, Beksha was an opponent I couldn’t guarantee victory against even with my current Unique Weapon.

Once the battle begins, my stats are reduced, so he wasn’t an opponent I could just recklessly fight.

‘Besides, I was being pushed back even against Ust.’

How should I put it? I’m confident that I can handle low-level raid bosses to some extent, but if it goes beyond that, I feel like it would be difficult for me alone.

‘If I collect the entire Azure Guardian Set, it might be different.’

Of course, it’s unrealistic. To obtain the Azure Guardian Set, I need to get a Rare Box, which is the same as having no way to obtain it. Only three appeared in Subjugation Requests, and there were no rumors of them appearing anywhere else.

On the other hand, even if I try to obtain it by hunting monsters, there’s a problem. I don’t even know which monsters to hunt, but since the Azure Guardian is a Rare-grade Set Item, it’s highly likely to be at least a raid boss monster.

‘Should I learn more about attributes?’

However, I decided to learn more about attributes to gather more information since I was thinking of trying to catch Beksha. Fortunately, there were many posts about attributes.

[About Attributes.]

[Content: Sometimes, you can see attribute power attached to items or skills. You can think of this attribute as an upgraded version of defense. Simply put, if my attack is 100 and the opponent’s defense is 100, the damage will naturally be applied as 0.

However, if my attack power of 100 has 10% attribute power attached, then 10% of the 100 damage, that is, 10 damage, will be applied. This is the so-called attribute damage application.

If the opponent also has attribute resistance, it will be nullified, but attribute resistance is surprisingly difficult to obtain. Even Rare-grade items only have 2-3% attached.

Conversely, attribute power is often attached to skills as well……]

“Hmm.”

Simply put, it meant that if I had attribute power, I could apply a portion of the damage as attribute damage. And after reading that the easiest way to use attribute damage was through elemental magic, I let out a half sigh.

‘It’s not very helpful.’

There’s no special countermeasure against attribute attacks. It’s disappointing to hear that I just need to increase my resistance.

[Video Event Rankings.]

“Huh? Video Event?”

Ah, right, there was this too.

I think it was the event where they gave 3 million won for first place. If you record a video within Twilight and upload it to the homepage, they rank them based on the number of views and recommendations, and then give prizes like 3 million won for first place, 2 million won for second place, and 1 million won for third place.

Raz also saw this before and suggested we film a video together……

‘It’s already been a month.’

Click━

Remembering that day, I clicked on it and, as expected, the first place was Aizen’s Extinction Sword. I don’t know if it’s because it’s the first S-rank to appear in Twilight, or if people were curious about what kind of skill an S-rank skill is, but it took first place with overwhelming views and recommendations.

‘So Aizen is earning 3 million won with this?’

“……”

Well, maybe it’s not a big deal to him.

Still, 3 million won for just one video? Secretly envious, I moved on to second place. It wasn’t difficult to see that second place was the battle between the Emperor Guild and the Bamut Cult.

‘This is second place?’

This video, filmed from high in the sky, where you can’t even see people properly, is second place? I was speechless. By the way, both first and second place were related to the Emperor Guild. Could it be that third place is too? Curious, I checked the remaining third place and saw a scene of someone fighting a giant squid in the sea.

‘If it’s a giant squid, it must be the Kraken monster……’

I could roughly guess. It would be the Subjugation Event that arose in the Iot Kingdom. The Iot Kingdom, which has few forests and plains, was said to find dungeons in the sea or search for islands not on the map to hunt there, but I heard that it was difficult to advance into the sea due to the Kraken that appeared a few days ago.

I don’t know the details since it happened while I was hospitalized, but I couldn’t believe this video took third place.

‘It hasn’t been long since the video was uploaded, has it?’

But it’s in third place?

Curious about the reason, I clicked on the video and could see a fairly well-shot scene playing.

━Kuoooooo!

‘Oh, it seems like someone who participated in the battle filmed it.’

It was clearly different from the video that took second place. How should I put it? It’s enjoyable to watch. The appearance of the Kraken emerging from the sea showed a sense of pressure even when watching the video, and the appearance of the players desperately attacking from the ship felt like watching a scene from a movie.

Suddenly.

━Kyaaaak!

While I was continuing to watch the more exciting battle than expected, a female player who got stuck to the suction cups on the Kraken’s leg started being swung around in the air. The video composition was also well-shot, so the scene of her robe flipping up and revealing her underwear was vividly captured.

━N, No!

Splash!━

Immediately after, the player who fell into the sea due to the Kraken reappeared above the water, showing a limp figure as if she had fainted. The problem was that she was hanging upside down, so along with her white and slender legs……

‘No way, she didn’t take third place with this kind of video, did she?’

Just in case, I read the comments below, and as expected, it wasn’t the case. Most of the comments praised the well-shot video and the impressive display of the Kraken’s majesty.

Among them, if I were to look at a few comments……

[Wow, I should have participated then.]

[Good Kraken. I acknowledge you.]

[I’m going to buy a capsule right now.]

[Sigh, this subjugation will end in failure again.]

[The Harpe Empire succeeded in the Subjugation Request.]

[This is a disgrace to the Iot Kingdom!]

‘Well, it seems the subjugation failed.’

Anyway, after checking the third-place video, I immediately closed it and went to the forum.

Ding-dong~

‘Huh?’

What’s going on?

Now, I naturally thought of Yua at the sound of the doorbell and got up to open the door. As expected, Yua was standing outside.

“What were you doing?”

“I was resting because of the connection waiting time. But what’s up?”

“Actually, I have a favor to ask.”

At those words, I nodded without hesitation. I didn’t know what the favor was, but I was willing to grant almost any request. However, after hearing Yua’s next words, I couldn’t help but ask back.

“Yes?”

*　*　*

“Ha, ha.”

Damn it, how did I end up like this?

Yua’s request was very simple. She was going to exercise and asked me to go with her. A very simple request. However, when I actually put it into action, I realized it wasn’t as easy as I thought.

‘My stamina is this bad?’

Thinking about it, it was natural. I stayed at home and only played games for two years, so it would be strange if my stamina increased. Therefore, I could fully understand the current situation, but I couldn’t easily stop because of Yua running next to me.

“Should we run a little slower?”

“R-Rather than that, you can go ahead.”

No, please, just don’t worry about me and go.

“How can I do that? I’m the one who asked you to come.”

“……”

At this moment, I realized that being too kind can also harm others. As a result, I pushed my stamina to the limit, ran one more lap around the track, and sat down on the nearby stairs to soothe my exhausted body.

‘By the way, Yua is fine.’

After catching my breath, I looked at Yua running on the track with her face covered by a hood. Unlike me, who stayed at home, Yua seemed to have exercised consistently.

‘……What if she asks me to come again tomorrow?’

Should I say I’m sick?

But if I say that, things will get more complicated. In the end, realizing that I had no choice, I accepted the future that was to come and thought about what I had to do when I got back home.

‘First, when I get home, I need to wash, eat……’

After that, I just need to connect to Twilight and level up my refining skill. Or I could make a weapon for Yua to use. Of course, I wasn’t planning on making a basic weapon, so I needed to get a recipe as well, but that wasn’t too difficult.

♪~

“Huh?”

Suddenly, my phone in my pocket started ringing.

‘Who’s calling?’

Coincidentally, no one came to mind immediately. Looking at it this way, I think I lived quite a closed-off life. Anyway, I checked my phone and realized it was my friend, whom I last contacted a few months ago.

‘It’s been a while since he contacted me.’

After confirming the name of my friend, ‘Park Jaehoon’, I answered the phone with the thought that it had been a while.

“Hey, what’s up?”

━Wow, it’s been a while since I called, and you ask what’s up? More importantly, how are you doing?

“Well…… just working.”

I wanted to answer honestly since he was my friend, but from the day I realized my Intuition two years ago and decided to become independent, I had lied to my parents and friends that I was working.

It was because I wanted to focus only on the game without worrying about anything else.

In the end, the lie from that time came back to me like this, but since there was no particular harm, I could easily brush it off.

━Really? Anyway, I called to see if you could meet up sometime.

“Just to see each other?”

━Yeah, I got a job. I was thinking of buying you a meal. And you don’t even contact me unless you have something special going on. I have to be the one to reach out.

While I was busy making money through the game, he even got a job. Should I say he’s living a decent life? Besides, it was true that I hadn’t seen him for months, so I answered that I would and ended the call.

‘Well, it wouldn’t be bad to go down there after a long time.’
