The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

"Achievement points... Why do we have them? And 100,000 at that?"

Achievement points.

They are given in Battle.net games, and they are a kind of honor score that increases every time you complete the challenges of each mission.

"And it's a useless score."

Literally, it's a "honor score."

Achievement points are a measure of how much of a Battle.net enthusiast you are, nothing more and nothing less.

"It's strange. It shouldn't exist at this time."

Sung JiHan closed the status window.

While the achievement points were one thing, he was concerned about the changes that had occurred compared to the past.

"Then are there any other changes elsewhere?"

"Inventory."

The inventory window appeared above the broken face of Yoon Sejin.

Naturally, the storage space was completely empty.

However.

"...What's this?"

In the last slot of the inventory, there was a small piece of paper.

[Achievement Points Exchange Ticket]

[Grade: EX]

[Non-exchangeable]

-A reward given to the 'Last Survivor' who chose to retry.

-Obtains the qualification to exchange achievement points.

"Achievement Points Exchange Ticket?"

Useless honor points, achievement points.

And there was an exchange ticket that could be used to exchange them.

Sung JiHan's eyes sparkled.

"And it's graded... EX."

A grade beyond the standard.

It was a grade that only one person had in his previous life.

But to have an EX grade item come out of an item.

"I should try using it."

I don't know what can be exchanged with useless achievement points.

But since the exchange ticket is EX grade, it won't be exchanged for something ordinary.

This must be used.

["Using the Achievement Points Exchange Ticket."]

["The Achievement Shop will be added to the system window."]

It was enough to be added to the system.

To change the interface... It must be an EX grade item.

Sung JiHan was secretly surprised and immediately opened the Achievement Shop.

[Achievement Shop LV.1]

-Achievement Shop Upgrade - 20,000P

-Status Window Expansion LV.1 - 10,000P

-Class Slot Addition LV.1 - 10,000P

"They sell things like this...?"

Sung JiHan widened his eyes.

What the Achievement Shop sold was something that could completely change the foundation of a player.

"It's useless right now though."

Status window expansion, class slot addition.

These were things that were not needed right now, but if he reached a higher level in the future, they would be important variables that could change the rankings.

"But I don't need to buy anything right now. I should level up the shop."

Sung JiHan pressed the button to level up the shop and left.

[Achievement Shop has reached LV.2.]

["Inventory Expansion" item has been added.]

"I don't need this right now either."

[Achievement Shop has reached LV.3.]

['Title Slot Added' item will be added.]

'I don't need a title yet.'

Sung JiHan calmed down.

'These things are only useful if you reach at least the Gold League.'

Gold League.

To surpass the Bronze and Silver Leagues...

As a Level 2 Sung JiHan in the Bronze League, it was a world that seemed impossibly high.

The Achievement Store would give him wings, but he needed to at least know how to walk.

'I shouldn't expect much from the early stages of the Achievement Store.'

Sung JiHan thought this way as he looked at his remaining Achievement Points.

'50,000.'

With the remaining 50,000, he could either purchase all the newly added items so far.

Or spend 40,000 points to upgrade the store.

One of the two.

'Let's upgrade the store.'

Sung JiHan chose the latter without much hesitation.

Since buying all the newly added items wouldn't be helpful right away, he wanted to see what was in the Level 4 store.

[Achievement Store has been upgraded to Level 4.]

['Emergency Recovery' item will be added.]

'Emergency Recovery...?'

Sung JiHan opened the Achievement Store and read the description of the Emergency Recovery.

[Emergency Recovery (Item)]

-Repairs incomplete items to their original state.

A short one-line description.

But upon seeing it, Sung JiHan's eyes sparkled more than ever.

'A usable item has come out right away.'

If he could repair items, he could greatly reduce the early trial and error.

Step by step. Step by step.

Sung JiHan walked into Yoon SeJin's house with familiar steps.

'It must be here.'

Passing three rooms, he entered the innermost space of the spacious penthouse.

Next to the black door was a fingerprint recognition device.

Sung JiHan placed his finger on the device.

[Recognition complete. Family member.]

With a short mechanical sound, the door opened.

'Family, huh.'

Sung JiHan smirked and laughed bitterly.

His relationship with Yoon SeJin, who was the landlord, was now worse than anyone else's, but the machine still recognized him as family.

Sung JiHan entered the room.

There, he saw Yoon SeJin's access device for playing BattleNet, the BattleNet Connector.

It looked like a racing car seat at first glance, but it filled up a large room.

'The temporary storage was here, right?'

Sung JiHan sat on the BattleNet Connector and pressed the button in the left corner.

Then, the inventory of the BattleNet Connector that Yoon SeJin used appeared in front of him.

[Temporary Storage]

'As expected. All the items are sold.'

Since the player's inventory had a limit of 10 slots, many players stored their items in the temporary storage provided by the BattleNet Connector.

If he was the King of Swords, there should have been a lot of items left in this temporary storage.

But it seemed like he had cleared out the storage before going to Japan.

He probably disposed of them in the BattleNet Market.

'But... this is still here.'

Sung JiHan took out an item from the corner of the inventory.

[The Broken Brush of Dongbangsak]

Grade: A

This is a brush that is too damaged to use.

The broken brush of Dongbangsak, which is said to have lived through the Samcheonggabja.

Even though it was an item that received an A grade despite being broken, it was not sold because it was useless.

However.

"I know the usefulness of this."

Of course, because the brush of Dongbangsak was the item that made him a Sung JiHan.

"Emergency restoration."

He immediately.

Used the emergency restoration obtained from the achievement store.

["Restoring the broken brush of Dongbangsak..."]

["The broken brush of Dongbangsak has been restored and transformed into the brush of Dongbangsak."]

As the brush of Dongbangsak was briefly illuminated, small red and blue gems appeared one by one in the small groove at the center of the brush handle.

[Brush of Dongbangsak]

Grade: SS

The brush of Dongbangsak, which lived through the Samcheonggabja.

It connects to the link with the gods.

"Really... it's done."

The brush of Dongbangsak, which creates a connection with the gods.

Sung JiHan confirmed that the item had been perfectly restored and raised the brush while displaying the status window.

Strength, agility, stamina, magic power.

In the ability window filled with the minimum stat of 5, he brought the tip of the brush closer.

Chiiiiing-!

Then, flames burst from the bristle part of the brush.

Starting from the top of the status window where the strength stat was written, characters began to be engraved on top of it.

The fire that started from the tip of the bristles quickly spread throughout the brush of Dongbangsak.

Although Sung JiHan's fingers turned red from the heat, he continued to draw characters with the brush without even frowning.

After a total of 10 strokes, Sung JiHan released the brush from the status window.

Poof-

The brush that had completed its task turned into dust and disappeared.

Above the three stats that were in the status window, two characters covered them all.

Power.

Strength, agility, and stamina all disappeared and were replaced by this stat.

["Achievement unlocked: 'Unique Stat Acquisition'."]

["Obtained 10,000 achievement points."]

Power: 5

Magic Power: 5

Sung JiHan smiled confidently as he saw that power had reversed the abilities in the status window.

"It's done."

Although he hadn't obtained the nameless martial art yet.

Right now, with just power alone, he could dominate the Bronze League.

["The tutorial of the BattleNet League will soon begin."]

["When you are ready, please respond to the summon."]

["You will be forcibly summoned in 5 minutes."]

At that moment, the tutorial summon message of the BattleNet League appeared.

Sung JiHan briefly looked at Yoon Se-jin's BattleNet connector.

Until now, most players connected to BattleNet through the connector.

"Wasn't the sensory reduction rate 99 percent with that model?"

The BattleNet connector that almost made pain imperceptible.

Until recently, it was considered essential to connect with this.

Without hesitation, Sung JiHan disconnected from the connector.

"I won't use what Yoon Se-jin used."

Soon, Sung JiHan accepted the tutorial participation.

Then his body flashed white and disappeared.

* * *

Bronze League - Gangnam 1 Area.

Among the many league areas in Korea, this place was the most special.

"It was implicitly stated that the average ability level should be 9 and the gift grade should be A or higher to participate."

A hellish ant colony where domestic major companies and guilds deploy the most talented individuals.

A league where promising rookies engage in fierce battles to become the best player.

That place was Gangnam 1.

Therefore, it was a place where Sung JiHan, with an average ability level of 5 and a gift grade of F in the past, could not survive.

"I was foolish back then. I became level 2 by criticizing Yoon Se-jin's Yangju and drinking an experience potion."

After seeing Yoon Se-jin's statement about naturalizing in Japan.

If it was a sin to accidentally drink an experience potion while robbing Yoon Se-jin's Yangju warehouse because it was unbelievable, then it was a sin.

The place that became level 2 in that way was Yoon Se-jin's house located in Gangnam.

In the end, Sung JiHan was assigned to Gangnam 1 Area.

Participating in the league that he had never even thought about.

The end was simple.

"I was killed by a sword and eliminated in 10 seconds... What a useless life."

Thinking that, Sung JiHan looked at the message window.

[Welcome to the tutorial.]

[Tutorial mission is survival.]

Boom! Boom!

The sound of drums echoed from all directions.

Light returned to the darkened field of view.

"Is this the Colosseum?"

The Bronze-exclusive survival map, Colosseum.

Where 100 players and numerous monsters appear together.

A fighting arena where they fight endlessly until half of the players survive.

Sung JiHan looked around.

Players with magnificent equipment, along with hordes of monsters, caught his eye.

"They're probably B-grade. They look pretty good."

Although they were also level 2 like Sung JiHan.

They were classified as promising rookies by various major companies and guilds, and were borrowing B-grade equipment.

They had specs that were incomparable to Sung JiHan, who was currently wearing sweatpants and a short-sleeved shirt.

However, Sung JiHan was not nervous at all.

"I should warm up a bit."

Sung JiHan had no intention of losing to them.

Even if he didn't have any combat stats, as long as he had what he already possessed.

"But if I'm too strong, I'll feel sorry for the growing seedlings...."

Aren't they the ones who will support the future of our country?

There was no need to traumatize them by slaughtering them all.

I should play with them at a similar level.

As Sung JiHan thought that, something appeared before him.

[The achievement window is activated.]

[A limited quest has been added.]

A new quest that didn't exist before was added.

[Limited Quest]

*Achieve 1st place in the tutorial.

[Reward: Achievement Points 1,000]

1,000 achievement points.

Sung JiHan's expression changed when he saw this.

"As expected, Spartan education is the best for growing seedlings."

Sung JiHan, who achieved 7th place in the global player ranking.

He achieved 1,000 achievement points.

"It's a massacre."

It became sincere.
