The Second Salvation Myth of a Retired Returning Hero

chapter 7



7. Human Resources

The spearmanship instructor couldn’t believe what was happening right in front of his eyes.

The skill was created within a week of teaching Do-yoon the javelin. However, none of the other guys who had been learning spearmanship for two weeks had yet to create a skill.

Those who had been honing spearmanship before crossing the dimension had their skills created one by one two or three days ago. However, Do-yoon said that he was learning the javelin for the first time.

Creating a single skill is not difficult at all. That’s why the skill is so powerful and precious.

Do-yoon’s growth rate broke his common sense.

And, that wasn’t the only thing that surprised the instructor.

‘With only one level 1 skill… the power has changed that much?’

I watched Doyoon’s javelin before and after the skill was created. And, the difference was incomprehensibly large.

When a skill is created, the power of the skill instantly increases due to system calibration. However, the correction of the 1st level skill is not that great.

It’s not the end just because skills are created. It is not unreasonable to say that raising the level through endless training was the apostle’s lifelong task.

But what about Doyoon?

‘It was like a completely different person.’

The javelin taught by the instructor was only the basic of the basics. However, after the skill was created, Doyoon’s javelin… had its own originality.

Even if the same person practices the same technique, after 10 or 20 years, each person’s individuality is reflected in the technique, and there is a considerable difference. Through countless repeated practice and practice, the technique is finely modified to suit one’s body and capabilities. It can be seen as a kind of user optimization.

Just now, Doyoon’s javelin proficiency wasn’t very high. Excluding the tremendous power that comes from his natural strength, it was just a level 1 skill.

But that level of skill. It wasn’t the usual F-rate. Do-yoon’s javelin already showed signs of age. His originality was deeply buried, and the level of technology itself was different.

‘It seemed as if the master of spearmanship had descended in that moment.’

Really… I didn’t understand.

‘…Does this also need to be seen as an area of talent?’

The instructor has met people who are called geniuses many times, and as an instructor, he has taught them a few times.

And, Beom Jae-in himself did not always understand them. their thinking, growth, and output. Everything was incomprehensible to his common sense.

Genius is such a being. Those who are not geniuses will never be able to understand.

Doyoon in front of me was just that. It is an incomprehensible level of talent.

‘I want it.’

Do-yoon has already mastered martial arts. He only learns the javelin as an improvisation for long-range attacks, and he has no interest in spearmanship.

And the instructor understood and respected his strategy, and taught him only the javelin as he requested. However…

‘I really covet it.’

Doyoon is clearly a genius in spearmanship. The instructor coveted that talent.

I want to raise this genius. I want to see this genius prosper with his spear and perform spearmanship.

It was a pure desire as an instructor before respecting Do-yoon.

Meanwhile, the cadets around them stopped spearing and looked at Doyun as if they were tired of it and whispered.

“Even if you break through the farthest target right now, you broke the outer wall, right?”

“…is it a monster?”

The distance of the target consisting of a total of 4 stages. Among them, there was no one with the exception of Doyoon who had hit the 3rd stage.

Of course, the target Doyoon had just hit was level 4.

The overwhelming growth rate, as if in a different world from the other cadets. However, there were almost no people who were jealous of Doyoon.

Han Do-yoon, who was at the center of the fire. He spent his entire life at the cradle, and many cadets watched his daily life.

To Doyoon, there was always an image that came before ‘talent’, and that was ‘effort’.

“Is it really possible to become like that if you just eat and train?”

“But I don’t think I can live like that.”

The Doyoon they saw was always training. Except for the inevitably wasted time such as eating, moving, and calling, he was always immersed in training.

There are people who envy talent, but there is no one who disapproves of hard work.

Even though he had been training all day to the extent that he wondered if he had a mental compulsion… Anyway, in their eyes, Doyun’s achievement was justified.

“…would you like to have dinner and sparring?”

“Can you hear the sound of sparring even after watching that scene? If I don’t practice javelin today, my hands will itch and I won’t be able to sleep.”

“me too. Today, I will go to the second stage unconditionally.”

Rather, there were a lot of people who saw Doyoon’s achievements proportional to their efforts and burned their enthusiasm.

Born from a bad race called humans, and a fatal handicap, mana crippling. Nevertheless, Do-yoon always maintained a grade close to the top with a lot of effort.

Such a figure of Doyoon became a great model for many students, especially those who were not born with race or talent, and the dean and instructors were also very satisfied with this phenomenon.

Besides, Doyoon’s reputation among the students was very good.

The cradle, the aggregate of many races and cultures from many dimensions.

The distinct individuality of each cadet brought about endless conflicts every day.

In such a mess, the appearance of Do-yoon, who did not harm others at all and silently did what he had to do, had no choice but to come positively to everyone.

“I just want him to eat the chief. It’s ‘human’ and nice.”

“…me too. I work hard like that, but if I lose to vampires who don’t taste good or a fucking cow, I think I can’t stand it because I’m really sad to see it.”

“Be quiet, bastard… There’s a vampire passing by. If you pile up discipline for racial discrimination, it gets really tiring.”

Some still whispered while looking at Do-yoon, and some swung their spears more passionately, inspired by Do-yoon’s appearance.

And the vampire Debussy passed leisurely between them.

“Clean it up, monster.”

“…Thank you.”

Do-yoon received the towel from the vampire Debussy with a shy face.

Do-yoon was suspicious of Debussy’s kindness. One day, this guy suddenly came up to Do-yoon, who had no connections, and embarrassed him by saying that he wanted to be friends with him.

I liked Doyoon’s personality, etc., so I didn’t actively approach him to be friends. Indeed, while we hadn’t even met eye to eye, he had suddenly burst in like a missionary.

Since then, it has continued to show this somewhat blind favor.

In Doyun’s experience, this was one of two cases. There is a snobbish purpose, or love at first sight.

But this guy is a man. There is no chance of it being the latter. However, the former is also not convinced. Right now, Doyoon isn’t the hero Enoch, he’s just a rookie apostle with no reputation.

Or, could it have something to do with him being a vampire? Do-yoon knew nothing about vampires. Originally, there are no vampires in this world.

The only vampires active in this world right now are those who came from another dimension. Therefore, Doyoon had never seen a vampire in his previous life.

“What do you see?”

Conscious of Doyoon’s gaze, he asked.

“…would you like some blood?”

“…I’d be grateful if you gave it to me, but I don’t know what you’re talking about all of a sudden.”

“For no reason, I want you to treat me so well.”

He replied as if it were natural.

“It’s because of your energy.”

“Strength?”

Do-yoon tilted his head at the very sudden and unexpected answer.

“Did you not know? I wouldn’t be unfamiliar with this kind of favor. Although there are few races that are sensitive to energy like me, I’m sure you’ve met them a few times.”

Doyoon shook his head. This is something that had never happened in a previous life that had been lived for hundreds of years.

“Because where I came from, the only intelligent beings are humans.”

“Ah, that’s right. There must have been animals though. plants too. Didn’t you feel that nature was extraordinarily kind to you?”

“…I felt it.”

Debussy got it right. Doyoon made friends very quickly with the animals on Earth. This was something that had never happened in a previous life.

A ferocious fierce dog, a cat that hides its face severely. Even roadside birds. Everyone approached Doyoon without hesitation and acted aegyo. Even the plants his parents grew were overgrown.

At first, I thought this was the difference between Earth and the original world. As much as it is a peaceful world, I thought that the animals on Earth are very gentle. However, as time passed, I felt that I was special.

Debussy says it.

‘ah. Perhaps?’

Do-yoon opened the status window and confirmed the congenital characteristics.

[Divine Beast]

(Innumerable races in the world repeat life and death. Goblins, intelligent humans, unicorns, divine beasts, dragons, and gods.

There is a class difference between them. An object’s rank is determined by the amount of karma expended during its birth.

You are of noble, nay, divine birth. A great deal of karma has been expended on your body composition. Your potential is different from that of uncivilized people, and all things in nature will respond to your aura.

All of this is not luck, but the result of karma accumulated in your soul after a long cycle of reincarnations. You are a noble soul who deserves to be worshiped by all things.)

One of them caught my eye.

‘All things in nature will respond to your aura.’

Doyoon nodded. did this mean

“This is the first time I’ve seen someone who radiates pure energy like you. In fact, even now, my mouth is salivating and my gums are itching. As for me, I want to stick my fangs into your neck right now and suck your blood.”

“That is difficult.”

“right. So, if something happens that will cause blood to spill, I would appreciate it if you could call me.”

Doyoon tried to laugh at his joke, but hesitated. There was no mischief on his face. …are you kidding?

“…I’ll think about it.”

“Thank you.”

Doyoon shook his head.

Anyway, according to his words, it seems that Doyoon, who has the body of a Shinsoo, exudes spiritual energy. And like vampires, only a few races who are sensitive to energy are said to be able to feel it.

“Thanks for the towels.”

“It was nothing.”

Do-yoon returned the towel he had wiped with his sweat. The awkwardness must have disappeared, and he did not refuse his favor. Because now I know it’s a favor with no ulterior motives.

And this guy, Ssaksu is fine. Do-yoon tends to be generous with talented people. It is because of the habit of gathering genius colleagues in each round.

‘The race of vampires is pretty good.’

As a guild master in his previous life, he is quite greedy for talent. Seriously, the status window acknowledged this and applied the correction.

[First Guild Master]

(‘A person with virtue is not lonely. (德不孤必有隣)’

Enoch Roosevolnik, the vanguard of mankind to defeat the demon king. In a time of great war full of chaos, many people were inspired by him, who was like a ray of light, and joined him. He was always surrounded by reliable and competent colleagues. People called this gathering of righteous people ‘Guild’, and called their centerpiece, the warrior Enoch Roosevolnik, ‘Guild Master’.

Their salvation myth became a great example for posterity. After Enoch’s death, people called ‘guilds’ for ‘groups that believe in and rely on each other and share their will’. Later, numerous guilds were created, and like Enoch Roosevolnik in those days, they fought against the second demon king.

You are the first guild master.

Your co-workers will try to stand alongside you. Increases the growth rate of those under your command by 10%.

Your colleagues will be inspired by your appearance, and you will raise your potential that you didn’t even know. The potential of those under your command is increased by 10%.

On the battlefield, your comrades can fight bravely with your back in front. Those under your command always perform at their best on the battlefield with you.

For a long time, you have watched the beginnings and growth of countless talents. I even repeated it a few times. No one in the world will be better than you when it comes to seeing talented people. You can view the target’s status window information.)

Forming a group and gathering trustworthy associates is an essential step in accomplishing a great cause. You can’t do anything on your own.

As proof of that, wouldn’t it be said that, just like Enoch did in his previous life, future generations will also create a ‘guild’ and join them?

Do-yoon needed a colleague. He was thirsty for talent.

Doyun used the innate attribute [First Guild Master] to view Debussy’s status window.
