Bjorn didn't pay attention and continued in a low voice as if sharing a secret."Participation in Halfheim starts at a low level. Don't you have to use the gold you earn after each battle? It should be used in Halfheim.""Yes.""There's nowhere else to use it.""I thought it was just for keepsake."In her heart, Jin Tae Kyung argued, 'With what Brunhilds told me, it has more benefits than that.'She looked at Salveig and the others. When she saw their expressions, it seemed they had collected enough gold. Bjorn's eyes sparkled again."I know all the great places in Halfheim. If you just follow me, you'll experience the happiness of Valhalla's paradise.""Can I trust you?""I'm impressed by you.""They look like novice warriors going on vacation after a hundred days. No, are they more like interns taking their first day off?"Considering the way they were playing, it looked exactly like that.Jin Tae Kyung looked at them with less enthusiasm in her eyes. Bjorn strengthened his arm and
A wooden boat swayed on the edge of the Idun Legion's inn, pushed by the strong gusts of wind. Heda, who had been observing Jin Tae Kyung attentively throughout the journey, spoke with enthusiasm, his voice trembling, "After meeting Idun, let's indulge in delicious food. I'll show you my skills.""For me, everything is fine. Life is just like that," Jin Tae Kyung replied with eyes that hinted at emptiness. Heda smiled weakly, as if his strength had vanished, then carefully moored the wooden boat at the pier.Seeing this, Jin Tae Kyung lifted his head, his gaze fixated on a distant place."Now, if it were the Ullr Legion... Would Salveig also have to end her vacation?"There were countless low-ranking soldiers in the Ullr Legion, but considering Heda's words, it was highly likely that Salveig had also been summoned."At least that would be a little better."Because that meant she wouldn't die alone. No, it wasn't about that, but she would have a companion.But whatever it was, Jin Tae
Heda treated Jin Tae Kyung to a charming formal dinner, showcasing her extraordinary skills as she had promised before. They savored each dish on the table, which was incredibly tempting and surpassed the pleasure of a feast.Now, the night had grown late, and Heda sat across from Jin Tae Kyung. Jin Tae Kyung sat on a large magic circle, with his shirt open on this chilly night. Nevertheless, he felt there was a simple reason behind this action."When it comes to mastering rune magic, the easiest way is to carve it on your own body," Heda said."Like a tattoo?" Jin Tae Kyung asked, trying to understand the explanation."Yes, we call it an engraved seal. However, despite its simplicity of use, there are drawbacks. I don't really recommend it. This method is commonly used by fighters who want to learn one or two rune magics."Heda paused, looking at Jin Tae Kyung as if inviting him to guess the reason behind her explanation."Isn't the number of runes you can carve limited? Like rune ma
On a dark night, the Valkyrie warriors gathered joyfully before Sveldr, their leader. The atmosphere was free from formalities, and a sense of familiarity filled the air. "By the way, enough with the jokes. I will tell you the details once we arrive. Any questions?" Sveldr said with a smile. One of the lower-ranking warriors asked, "Where are we headed?" Sveldr turned around and operated the dimensional door with a flick of his finger. The spatial door expanded like water as he touched it, answering, "Svartalfheim." The land of dark elf. The endless night's land. In the enveloping darkness, the warriors stepped into Svartalfheim, a place promising mystery and fear. Though their eyes were not hindered by the darkness, they could still see the path amidst the shadows that gnawed at every corner there. Jin Tae Kyung, with unwavering courage, led the group of warriors toward an undeniable destination. His steps were confident, even though signs of death were clearly visible around th
Before Sveldr finished speaking, the warriors cheered joyfully. Although they were all low-ranking fighters, their cheers were not without reason, unlike those of the lowest-ranked warriors. However, Jin Tae Kyung didn't have the courage to ask."What is this now?" he muttered to himself.Is this also an object to be thrown like the Valhalla throwing fetish?Or is it something that will render you silent forever?Jin Tae Kyung watched Salveig cheer with the other warriors, and finally, he approached Alvtr and asked."Alvtr, what is the Transtarporuk?""The Transtarporuk is something truly amazing. You will surely love it too," Alvtr answered with the demeanor of a Valhalla warrior. Hearing that, Jin Tae Kyung looked at Sveldr with a concerned expression."Wow!""This is the real deal!""It's enormous!"The dark fairy liaison office was made of beautifully carved wood, but no one paid attention to it. Everyone was too preoccupied with the Transtarporuk summoned by Sveldr."This is truly
Jin Tae Kyung, Alvtr, and the Valhalla warriors set off from their headquarters with the assistance of Valkyrie Sveldr. They hoped to gain Ullr's blessings on their mission. As the representatives of the Ullr legion, Sveldr was known as the finest Valkyrie. All the Ullr warriors bid Sveldr farewell with rough yet affectionate salutations before embarking on their journey. During their travels, they traversed a dark and rocky forest. The white wolves they rode on ran swiftly, even faster than horses. Jin Tae Kyung felt at ease riding the wolves, as he did not experience the usual discomfort of horseback riding. They rode for a quarter of a day, occasionally taking breaks. Although they lost their way amidst the thick forest and the obscured sky, they were confident they had come far enough from their starting point. Jin Tae Kyung slowed his pace and pointed towards a village in the distance. The village consisted of treehouses and seemed inhabited by a single family. A dark fairy guar
Mallus, the head of the Mollo family, bit his lip with a pale face. He couldn't guess where things had gone wrong.There were no signs. He didn't even leave a clue."Why is that!" Mallus murmured, confusion dominating his thoughts.The curse came out of nowhere. Moreover, the situation was serious. He had attacked when he was sure the Valhalla warriors had noticed, yet he couldn't capture them.What would happen if they escaped like this? How much did they realize?"Mallus, you look worried. What's wrong?" a member of the Mollo family asked with a concerned face."All of this is too complicated," Mallus answered. "We need to find a way to get rid of the escaping Valhalla warriors, but I don't know how."His head felt overwhelmed. He couldn't even think of anything. He lacked too much information."But I haven't given up," Mallus spoke with determination. "There's still a chance for us."Another member of the Mollo family approached and said, "Let's find out how to stop them. We can't
Jin Tae Kyung nodded absentmindedly. As he thought about it, he had only known Salveig and Alvtr for 10 days, yet the feelings between them felt different. Like reliable allies, they had become friends who had been together for decades."The youngest one has the right words," Salveig said."He's the youngest and speaks like a battle companion. How many battlefields have you been through? Maybe just 40? Or even 50?" she added with a smile."Hey, kid, show us your tricks," jeered the low-ranking soldiers, laughing silently.However, Alvtr immediately interrupted, "Enough. We haven't fully escaped the threat. Activate the camouflage blessing immediately after the treatment.""Yeah, okay," the soldiers replied casually, then they focused on healing themselves. Just a few steps away, but suddenly a soldier looked up. He instinctively drew his knife while shouting, "There!"A loud noise was heard. In an instant, a spear impaled the soldier's chest, splitting the ground beneath him."Split u
"Charge!" Tae Ho shouted, his voice echoing through the chaotic battlefield. It shook the blue sky and resonated across the vast grasslands. He leaped forward with his Thunderbolt arrows, streaking through the air with lightning speed, showering the sky and striking down any daring enemy that approached.Terrifying foes, such as giant gnolls and orc creatures emerging from behind rocks, flooded the battlefield. The battle grew hotter, with spilled blood and clashing swords. Despite the fierce fight put up by Odin's warriors, relentlessly attacking with their gleaming swords, it was evident that the enemy outnumbered them greatly.Alvtr, a resilient female warrior, observed the worsening situation. She realized the difficulty of the battle and the presence of these dreadful creatures that had just appeared. With determined eyes, she turned to Tae Ho."Tae Ho, face them! I will try to destroy their point of attack!" Alvtrexclaimed firmly, her voice resonatin
In the deep darkness, Truram, the Dark Giant, sat gracefully amidst the darkness he himself created. He was one of the five Giants loyal to the Giant King. In the stillness of the night, Truram lifted his head and gazed with piercing eyes across the universe. "Soon your presence shall be revealed, Gruktheus," murmured Truram in a husky voice. He clenched his fingers and slowly began to move them. The intricate and boundless webs connecting all of Asgard to Yggdrasil trembled, resembling the complex webs of a spider. In an instant, a faint voice crawled into Truram's ears. A colossal moth flew through the darkness and whispered important news. Gruktheus, the Giant of Power, one of the five Giants was on the move. Truram raised his eyebrows slowly. He pondered for a moment, trying to understand the sudden motive behind Gruktheus's actions. Truram's loyal attendants nearby dared not disturb his fervent thoughts. They knew Truram would find the answers hims
Jin Tae Kyung and Ragnars sat at a long table in an ancient wooden-walled room. Between them lay a weapon that was the focus of their conversation, Runefang. Jin Tae Kyung carefully gazed at the weapon, feeling that something remained undisclosed."Jin Tae Kyung, this weapon is truly remarkable," Ragnars said, crossing his arms over his chest. "However, I sense a difference within it. There's something distinct about its power."Jin Tae Kyung was taken aback by Ragnars' words. Until now, he believed that he had successfully concealed the fact that the weapon had been manipulated with additional pieces. He tightly gripped the weapon's handle and replied, "Ragnars, Runefang is indeed extraordinary. But I'm confident it's just a magically enhanced weapon."Ragnars nodded, but a hint of suspicion lingered behind his smile. Ragnars was wise and intelligent, making it difficult for Jin Tae Kyung to hide the truth from him."Look, Jin Tae Kyung," Ragnars said, pointing at the weapon. "This
Jin Tae Kyung and Ragnars sat in a quiet room, after a tiring session of magic and rune training. They looked at each other with hopeful eyes, anticipating an intriguing conversation. Jin Tae Kyung was eagerly waiting for answers to his captivating question."Ragnars, I'm really curious to know what sets apart a low-ranking warrior from a mid-ranking warrior," Jin Tae Kyung finally initiated the conversation. "What makes the difference?"Ragnars smiled wisely and gazed at Jin Tae Kyung with meaningful eyes. "The main difference, Jin Tae Kyung, lies in the power bestowed by the Gods," he answered with a melodious voice.Jin Tae Kyung nodded, though his curiosity was not completely satisfied. "But, are there more specific differences? What makes them stronger?"Ragnars chuckled softly. "Ah, Jin Tae Kyung, you always want to know everything," he said, tidying his thick beard."However, I cannot give you the answers you seek. Knowing in detail about the strength of high-ranking warriors c
Jin Tae Kyung greeted Dewi Idun's answer politely, but his gaze was filled with doubt. After a moment of contemplation, he finally decided to ask the question that had been bothering him."Dewi Idun, there's something I would like to ask you," Tae Kyung said humbly.With a gentle look, Dewi Idun tilted her head slightly, giving him permission to continue with his question.Carefully, Tae Kyung pulled out an unfamiliar piece of sword from his cloak and placed it in front of Dewi Idun. He recounted the story of the mysterious fragment, just as he had shared it with Brunhilds earlier. Idun began examining it attentively."This piece does indeed possess a powerful force embedded within it. However, I'm sorry to say that I can't immediately determine which god it originated from," Dewi Idun wisely replied.Tae Kyung pondered, realizing that even Dewi Idun, a goddess known for her wisdom, didn't have a direct answer about the object. However, he also felt relieved as Idun didn't sense any m
Indeed, the gift was the wings of a flying horse. However, in Jin Tae Kyung's mind, he had no intention of wearing them himself. Instead, the gift should be given to one of his comrades. "Captain Alvtr might enjoy this ability, don't you think? And of course, there's Sveldr too." But not only Alvtr and Sveldr, anyone who fought alongside him deserved this gift. "Hmm, but why should I ride on Sveldr?" he whispered to himself, his thoughts swirling, considering all the possibilities that could be done with that gift. A cheerful smile blossomed on the lips of the joyful Goddess Idun. "That only applies if you wear them. These wings enhance the abilities of anyone who wears them but within reasonable limits. You can't fly or fight beyond your capabilities. This gift will only enhance the abilities of someone who already has the foundation for it." "In other words, this gift strengthens existing abilities but does not create abilities that never existed before." Jin Tae Kyung began to
In the serene meeting room of Valhalla, Jin Tae Kyung sat gracefully among the members of the Ullr Legion. They had just completed an astounding expedition, and now it was time to socialize. Among them, Sveldr, wise and sincere, couldn't help but praise Jin Tae Kyung's achievements. "By the gods, Warrior of Idun, Jin Tae Kyung. Your accomplishments in this expedition are truly extraordinary. I will personally inform Ullr about your brilliant achievements so that you receive the recognition you deserve." With great humility, Jin Tae Kyung responded with a modest smile and tapped his chest politely. "Thank you." However, deep in his heart, Jin Tae Kyung regarded those words as mere formalities. For him, his duty as a warrior was to protect and support the Ullr Legion without ever thinking about personal recognition. But Sveldr held a different perspective. He realized that their success in this mission would not have been possible without Jin Tae Kyung's presence. A sense of gratit
The part of the world that will be destroyed remains the same, but in that moment, Odin opens his single eye suddenly. Something catches his attention."What did you say earlier?" Odin asks, his voice filling the space between the magnificent tree's roots.Mimir knew precisely which part Odin was pointing at. Without reading any other clues, Mimir answered clearly."86,4 percent."Odin rose from his seat with determined steps. The numbers changed. Changes in numbers weren't unfamiliar to Odin, but what mattered was the direction of those changes.Destruction drew nearer with increasing likelihood, and although there were occasional setbacks, in the end, it would consume everything. However, this time, an unprecedented change occurred.The probability decreased. Although it was only one in ten thousand, there was a decrease compared to before.Approaching Mimir's head, Odin moved closer. The head sat in front of a wide stone, shrouded in mystery, and Mimir stared at Odin with a piercin
Jin Tae Kyung sat alone inside the house while Brunhilds and Ragnars conversed outside. The atmosphere was quiet, and Jin Tae Kyung began to reflect on the experiences he had gone through. He thought about the classes taught by Brunhilds and wondered if theoretical learning was more effective than learning directly from a Valhalla warrior like Ragnars. "It's really difficult for me to understand all of this with just theory," muttered Jin Tae Kyung as he gazed at the old and damaged sword in his hand. Although he knew it was an epic-ranked item, he didn't know how to use it because he only had the hilt. However, there was something special about the sword that was hard to explain. Jin Tae Kyung felt a strong connection between himself and the sword, perhaps because his experience as a professional gamer gave him sensitive senses. Jin Tae Kyung carefully examined the piece of the sword. He realized that it wasn't like an ordinary item. In the Valhalla, there were no epic-ranked items
