“What’s wrong?”

At that moment, Seo Dawon suddenly stood in front of me and looked at my status window. He then read the skill, and I wasn’t able to hide it.

He grinned, “Ah–is it because of your new skill?”

“Yeah....”

“It doesn’t say the kiss needs to be on the lips.”

“Ah! Th-That’s right...” I was a little relieved at Seo Dawon’s loophole.

But, the Mage soon added, mischievously, “Except for when you use that skill on me, of course. It’d be best to kiss the others on their hands or cheeks.”

“...Shut up.” Though I was likely to use this skill in combat, I wanted to scold his arrogant certainty that I would kiss him on his lips.

But, I couldn’t hardly make a ruckus in front of the servants who were watching us. I swallowed a sigh and approached the servants.

Then, our long meeting began.

* * *

“The training room allows you to modify various settings and room conditions with [Mode Setting] to create a more immersive environment for training. Also, if you feel any difficulties during training, you can always call out for [Mode Settings] and shout ‘End.'”

First, people suggested that I assess the power of my class skills. So, I chose to use a training room within Koo Hui-seo’s mansion.

One of the occupants of this mansion handed over a controller and told me how to use the training room.

We ran the training module as explained, “[Mode Settings].”

[Beginning Training.]

[An existing training program has been saved. Should this program be recalled?]

Lines were being drawn in this white and empty space, just like a new computer program being loaded onto the screen.

I inquired whether or not Kim Sangyoon, who had been using this room before, should have his records and setting saved. Afterwards, I pressed the [No] button and chose the [Tutorial] mode to warm up.

[The ‘Tutorial Mode’ has been selected]

[Machine sensitivity...has been set at 25%]

[The Engine is running...]

[The Map will be randomly generated.]

Then, a bright light filled the space. When I closed my eyes reflexively before opening them again, the room had surprisingly changed into a vast desert. “Wow...”

My mouth fell open–it felt as if I had entered a dungeon.

Seo Dawon, who had been standing silently beside me, kicked the sand. “I guess this is version 2.5.”

“Hm?”

“I’m saying it’s old-fashioned. At the time of my death, 2.5 was the latest version.”

“What? You used this sort of training room too?”

“Yeah. I used it whenever I cooked up a good skill.”

Well, come to think of it, this man was crazy about his scenario, so it would have been weird if he didn’t have something similar.

I looked around, a bit discomfited, at the world that almost seemed real. They said I was free to use any skill here, hm... “Then... What should I start with?”

“Is that possible?

“Yeah. Just turn off the tutorial mode and summon a level 1 boss.”

When Seo Dawon handed over the controller, I chose the mode as per his suggestion. Following that, I selected the boss monster.

[Boom–! Crash–!!!]

Then, a large [Giant Black Slime] with a crown atop its head appeared before my eyes.

“[Wind Cutter].” Of course, the Mage blocked the way in front of me and immediately cut its body in half with one hand gesture.

I tried to invoke the [Shinigami’s Book] once more on the dead [Giant Black Slime], but it failed again. We decided to put a hold on this skill for a while.

[– Seal Spirit

You can seal a soul into a weapon in order to enchant it.]

“This skill also mentions souls, so I don’t think it’ll work...”

“Let’s just try–we’ll give it a pass if it doesn’t work.”

And, as expected, the skill was canceled with the [Invalid Target] message. I wasn’t so disappointed because I fully expected that result.

However, I made a mental note to use these two skills once I had obtained a corpse after revenge. It didn’t matter if it was Bae Jaemin or one of his henchmen.

Folding away my wistful heart, I read the next skill.

[- Eternal Night (Field Type)

The Necromancer can create the best possible environment for themselves within a set range.]

“I really can’t get a grasp for this one,” I muttered.

“You want to try it?”

“...Yeah.” I was a little nervous at the ambiguous explanation, but that also made my expectations rise. I took a deep breath and opened my mouth, “[Eternal Night].”

The moment I shouted the skill, the desert sky, which had been shining all this while, suddenly darkened. I looked up in amazement, “The moon...”

Seo Dawon also stared at the sky.It was as if the sun had disappeared behind some dark clouds, and the desert became as dark as if night had fallen.

And, before I knew it, a red moon was rising in the sky. It was as if the subtle change in environment that appeared whenever I summoned a servant had rapidly emerged with the advent of the skill.

[Eternal Night – Deploying the field]

[Within the designated area, the deceased and the Apostles of Retrograde receive the blessing of the Nameless Deity, increasing their attack power by 200%.]

[The Goddess’s graces and the Apostles of Order will suffer continuous health or stamina depletion within the field.]

[The madness of evil-aligned users intensifies.]

[Those who don’t have shadows maintain infinite health and stamina within the eternal night.]

However, the awe-inspiring nature of the red moon was nothing compared to the effectiveness of the skill. My eyes opened wide as I read [Eternal Night]’s effects.

TL: Um????? Hello? OP Skill????

Also, I’m mega sick, and my foggy brain can’t decide if 체력 here means health or stamina–If the comments have opinions, I’m open to it.

I can’t believe we’re finally seeing what all the skills do O.O
