Chapter 307

7.

[Level Up!]×2

[You have become Level 239.]

[You have fulfilled the recommended reading amount for the Unique rank library.]

[You have met the conditions for the Legendary rank library.]

[You can now enter the Legendary rank library.]

And the level up message.

Seonghyun nodded his head as if he liked the phrase saying he could move on to the next library.

They were truly books with amazing efficiency.

Is Barbaros really the god of books?

As Seonghyun, satisfied with Barbaros's recommendation, came out thinking that.

As expected, Barbaros welcomed Seonghyun.

Barbaros, waving his hand as if excited.

This time, he had cleared Unique three times and gained a whopping 2 levels with the experience.

If he cleared more Unique books here, wouldn't his level rise quickly?

As Seonghyun was thinking that.

“Welcome. You finished sooner than I thought!?”

“Pardon? Ah, yes. I finished early.”

“Wow… I, it took me two days, you're amazing as expected.”

“Ah, is that so?”

The book Seonghyun had just been to was a mission to sweep away the pouring monsters in a disaster.

He thought two days was fast for that, so he thought Barbaros was stronger than he expected.

Well, it would be hard to come to the Unique rank if he wasn't strong.

As Seonghyun was thinking that.

“I have an Almighty job too, but you're incredible, Seonghyun-nim.”

“...?”

Barbaros, who spoke without holding back.

Don't people usually hide it?

He had that thought, but since he looked innocent.

He thought it could be possible.

Well, a job that could create skills of Legendary rank or higher probably wouldn't be a Legendary rank job.

It was more fitting for it to be an Almighty rank.

He's quite an amazing guy.

Thinking that, Seonghyun raised his assessment of Barbaros's skills a bit higher.

Anyway, while thinking that, Seonghyun also answered for some reason.

“I have an Almighty job too.”

Somehow, it would be a bit much if only he hid it.

He told him moderately.

Then.

“Oh! I knew it. You're amazing, as expected.”

“Thank you. Then since the time is a bit awkward today, shall we go together tomorrow?”

Now that Seonghyun could also go to the Legendary rank library.

As he said that.

Barbaros's expression brightened up.

To think he would suggest going right away!

He thought he would read more Unique rank books.

He nodded as if excited.

Then.

“Okay! Oh, by the way, my job is Knowledge Lord. It was originally a black mage class, but I changed jobs, so you can think of it as more of a mage class than a black mage.”

He shared detailed information about himself.

A mage class job.

To say it so openly.

Seonghyun also nodded at the innocent-looking Barbaros and replied.

“My job is Overlord. I'm a black mage class, but I'm also quite good with a sword.”

“Ooh!? You must be a multi-class job!”

“Yes, yes, you can think of it that way. You can see my main focus as summoning.”

“Ooh, you can see my main focus as magic unfolded from books!”

Thinking it was a very fitting job.

Seonghyun acknowledged Barbaros's job.

Knowledge Lord.

A Lord type job.

Since it would be quite powerful.

It seems he wouldn't have to worry about being held back.

After talking a bit more like that.

Seonghyun logged out.

And only after Seonghyun logged out did Barbaros also get up from his seat to log out.

“Since you're a black mage class. You'll be a great asset in the next book.”

Normally, if someone said this much, they would have no choice but to realize that Seonghyun was the Demon King.

However, Barbaros, who had no particular interest in media, didn't know that.

In the first place, he was in a state of not knowing well that the Rapid Guild's newcomer called the Demon King was that popular.

He didn't know much about Seonghyun in detail.

Wouldn't you have to watch the video to know who the Demon King is and why he's famous?

But since Barbaros didn't even watch TV, let alone Metube.

He couldn't help but not know.

The reason he played Eternal World was because he could freely read books to his heart's content.

On top of that, he was earning money as well.

To earn money while reading books.

Where could there be a better place than this?

Demon King or whatever.

Barbaros just looked forward to tomorrow.

“Heehee, I'll clear it tomorrow! And will the story continue again?”

He was happy just thinking about the book he would enter with Seonghyun tomorrow.

That was all.

To him, who was crazy about books, the most important thing was the fact that he could read books.

Barbaros, who was so happy, also logged out.

And prepared for tomorrow.

Thinking that he wished tomorrow would come quickly.

Meanwhile, when Barbaros logged out like that.

Seonghyun logged out, came outside, and thought.

'Knowledge Lord.'

A mage class Lord.

Another Lord class he had met recently was Kyou, who was a Storm Lord, was it?

Was that also somewhat of a mage class?

To be precise, did he say it was a shaman class?

Anyway, that was also quite interesting.

‘I wonder what the Knowledge Lord will be like?’

And he thought.

Normally, he would recommend a Lord to the Rapid Guild, but.

'It's a bit awkward to recommend Barbaros-nim, isn't it?'

Since he wasn't particularly interested in anything other than books.

It was to the point where even suggesting it felt a bit off.

Seonghyun thought so and pondered for a moment.

Well, he decided it would be better to ask Barbaros once before talking about it.

That was better than telling the guild leader, Ahn Yoojin, directly.

Thinking that, he checked his phone.

“Hm?”

There was a missed call.

He checked to see who it was.

Speak of the devil.

It was none other than Ahn Yoojin.

He wondered what it was about, but if it were urgent, she would usually have used the game messenger.

He figured it wasn't particularly urgent.

Still curious, Seonghyun called her right back.

The call connected almost immediately without much ringing.

-Ah, Seonghyun, you've logged out?

“Yes. I just came out.”

-It's nothing special, so I just called.

“Ah, yes.”

-It's nothing else, but you haven't come to the guild base even once, right?

The guild base?

Come to think of it, he had heard there was such a thing.

He had never gone.

“Ah? Yes. That's right?”

-I got something good this time, so I contacted you to come over so I can give it to you. I happen to be outside right now.

The always busy Ahn Yoojin happened to be outside?

Recalling the recent fortune-telling, Seonghyun asked.

“Oh? Did you manage to hire some people?”

-I couldn't help but be concerned.

“You do need to hire. How can you do everything by yourself.”

-Right. So I'm trying to have some leeway, though I'm in charge of the important things. I also hired quite a few people to handle the videos this time. Fortunately, that Geondong-ssi is good at his job, so I didn't need to hire that many.

“Oh, that guy seems to be good.”

As Seonghyun said that, feeling pleased inside hearing Ahn Yoojin praise his friend.

An unexpected familiar voice was heard from over the receiver.

-Hey! What do you mean by that! I'm the one who's good!

“Huh?”

-Ah, we're together right now. He's been doing well lately, so I decided to buy him a meal.

“Oh, that's nice.”

-We're having a dinner with the executives next week, so you should come if you're free.

After going for a fortune-telling this time.

She definitely seemed to have let go a little, speaking like that.

Well, he had heard that she had a hard time trying to strictly separate public and private matters until now.

Letting loose a bit like that.

‘I think I heard my sister say yesterday that the other guild members like it too.’

A guild dinner.

'I should probably go to the dinner, right?'

In effect, Seonghyun was no different from a guild executive.

On top of that.

'They said company dinners are essential for social life.'

To Seonghyun, the guild was no different from a company.

If there's a company dinner, you have to participate.

That was his way of thinking.

More than anything.

'It'll be fun.'

He had a rather negative image of company dinners, but.

He'd had a bit of a fantasy about them since he was young.

Since he earned money through games all this time, he thought there would be no company dinners.

Wouldn't it be nice to meet various people?

Thinking that, Seonghyun expressed his intention to participate.

“Yes, okay. I'll participate too.”

-Oh, okay. I'll put you down as participating, Seonghyun.

“Thank you for the good news.”

-What for, it's only natural for you to be included in an executive dinner.

Ahn Yoojin said so, smiling warmly.

And.

-Oh, noona, can I go too?

-Well, Geondong-ssi is no different from a video department executive.

Hearing Lee Geondong's words, a chuckle escaped.

And so, the dinner was decided, and the call ended.

Not long after.

An announcement was posted on the guild bulletin board created by Eternal World Hands.

That a dinner would be held in Korea next week under the name of an executive dinner.

Seeing the post saying they would accept a few more applicants if there were any.

Seonghyun chuckled.

How many people would come?

'Still, will a lot of people come?'

It's not a guild that's only on the East Asia server.

It's a global guild spread across various countries and servers, but.

Still, how many people would come to Korea just for a dinner?

Thinking that there wouldn't be very many, Seonghyun moved on.

But then.

The last line of the post that Seonghyun had overlooked.

[ps-The Demon King is also participating.]

A rather large ripple was caused by that line that Seonghyun didn't see.

8.

Eternal World Hands Rapid Guild bulletin board.

The sudden post couldn't help but cause an uproar among the various Rapid guild members.

The abruptly created executive dinner.

However, since they would accept a few regular guild members, inquiries began to pour in as soon as they saw it.

[Reaper : I want to go too!!!]

[Joseon's Best Swordsman Kim Chegeon : This humble one must also attend!!!]

[Long Feng : Me too, me too, I'm going!!! The backup team has to participate!]

[El Zahar : Hoong~ I must go!]

[Hwa Wol : I'm definitely going too. Don't leave me out.]

[Embris : Our party is going too!!!]

[Usagi : Already booked a flight to Korea!]

[Menma : ?? I already got my ticket, you're slow;]

[Chako : www I already got mine too.]

[Kyou : Um… how do you get a plane ticket? I don't know how to get one….]

[Mei Lin : Oh, big sister will tell you! I got mine too.]

[Kurosawa Ren : Everyone's in a frenzy. Of course, I will participate as well.]

Not to mention the backup team.

Even the regular guild members were in an uproar to participate.

As the inquiry posts flooded in instantly.

It became a headache for Ahn Yoojin, but.

She figured, 'what the heck,' and allowed all guild members above a certain level to participate.

There would be no end to it if she accepted all the low-level members.

The dinner to be held next week had become quite large in scale, but.

'Well, let's just think of it as a group dinner and move on,' Ahn Yoojin thought as she scratched her head.

“…Unni? I can go too, right?”

Her own younger sister, asking in person with sparkling eyes, not on the bulletin board.

“You can. You can, but… I can kind of see your ulterior motive.”

“Wh, what.”

Seeing Ahn Yubin speak with a guilty conscience, Ahn Yoojin shook her head.

However, thinking her sister would handle it, she went into her room.

At the same time, Ahn Yubin, watching her sister go in, secretly clenched her fist and made a 'we did it' pose where no one could see.

She was looking forward to next week's dinner.

Ahn Yubin was thrilled.
