Chapter 13: His Stats
“How many books do you have left to read?”
“I don’t know the exact amount but it’s going to take about 2 to 3 weeks to finish reading all of them . ”
Soo Hyuk and Yeon Joong continued on with their conversation .
“Wow, minimum 2 weeks?”
“Yeap . ”
“I’m super jealous . ”
“What’re you jealous about?”
“You’re wisdom increases when you read a book . ”
Yeon Joong said he was jealous because of the stats . In the case of reading a book, it was already a well-known fact that it would increase your wisdom .
“On second thought, I’m suddenly very curious?”
He continued talking as his face was filled with curiosity as he asked .
“What number is your wisdom?”
He was curious as to how much wisdom Soo Hyuk had because he continued reading since the game opened .
“Ummm… . ”
Soo Hyuk murmured to himself as he pondered .
‘The most recent time I checked……’
He did not know exactly how much wisdom he had . It was because every time the message stating that wisdom increased popped up, he didn’t open his character window .
‘Was it 925?’
He recalled the latest wisdom checked and told Yeon Joong .
“925 . ”
“…… . ?”
Yeon Joong heard his response and was speechless . However it was only for a brief moment, he then opened his mouth as his face was filled with disbelief .
“WHAT?”
The first thing he did was ask a question .
“925? Your wisdom is 925?”
He continued to ask questions .
“Yeap, when I checked, the most recent wisdom was 925 . It’s likely that it may be a little higher than that . Because after that, wisdom increased a little more . ”
“………”
Yeon Joong became silent once again .
‘Crazy . ’
He was flustered .
‘Wisdom’s 925? It’s even higher than that?’
He said his wisdom was 925? No, that it may be a little higher than that?
“What level are you?”
He was deep in thought but asked Soo Hyuk once again .
“8 . ”
He thought to himself .
‘Level 8, wisdom’s over 925?’
He asked because he thought his level would be high . However, his level was not high . Soo Hyuk’s level was only 8 . But 925? That number was unfathomable .
“How many books did you read?”
He asked after he finished his thoughts . How many books did he read? How many did he read that he was able to attain 925? He was unable to fathom it . No, to be exact, 925 were unattainable just by reading books .
“The more you read, doesn’t wisdom stop increasing?”
In order to raise wisdom by 1, the number of books that needed to be read was different with every user . A user may need to read 2 books to increase by 1, another may need to read 3 to increase, while a different user may need to read 10 to go up .
However, there was a commonality amongst all . It was that, the more you read, wisdom did not increase . In the beginning, if you read 3 books for your wisdom to increase by 1, after, it would take 5, 7, 10 books to raise wisdom by 1 .
“…… . . ?”
Soo Hyuk was confused .
“What do you mean? The more you read, it doesn’t increase?”
He could not understand .
“Generally, if you read 1 book, your wisdom increases by 1, right?”
It did not increase every time . Though, on average, if you read 1 book, it increased by 1 . It was very rare when it did not increase .
“What?”
Yeon Joong asked .
“You’re telling me that every time you read a book it increased?”
He was astonished .
“Yeah . Practically . ”
Soo Hyuk shook his head .
“………”
Yeon Joong did not say a word . He just thought to himself .
‘Was Oren’s library special?’
Many users experimented with reading books in order to raise their wisdom . Especially those whom wanted to become Magicians went to Matab’s library and read books innumerably and researched a formula to increase wisdom .
However, the number of books that needed to be read to increase wisdom by 1 was all different . Ultimately, they were unable to find the exact formula .
It was only speculated that there were a lot of things that were in correlation with one another . But, in Soo Hyuk’s case, every time he read a book, his wisdom rose by 1 . That is, it wasn’t once or twice, but continued to increase . By any chance, was Oren’s library special?
‘Or was it his level?’
Oren’s library may not be special . The problem may be his level . His level was 8; it could be that the lower your level, the number of books needed to raise your stats was small .
‘The possibility was quite high . ’
The possibility that it was because of his level was quite high . Although other users have said they read books, they did not continue reading books like Soo Hyuk . They hunted, completed quests, and read books in situations to grow their characters .
“You can’t tell anyone about your stats . ”
He said to Soo Hyuk .
“The possibility that something troublesome may occur is quite high . Especially if the guild finds out, they’re going to lust heavily for you . ”
It was difficult even for someone over level 100 to reach beyond 900 for wisdom, but only a level 8 surpassed 900 . If that fact became known, Soo Hyuk would be dragged into a troublesome situation .
Specifically, it was the guilds that were the problem . The strength of the guild members became the guilds’ strength . There would be an enormous amount of guilds that would desire Soo Hyuk . There was a chance that if they weren’t able to have him, they would make it so that no one else would be able to have him .
“Of course I know that too . ”
He replied to Yeon Joong . He also knew about this .
“I told you because it’s you . ”
He only answered because it was Yeon Joong . If it wasn’t him, he wouldn’t have said anything .
“Okay, I’m glad you know about it . ”
He felt relieved when he heard his response . Soo Hyuk opened his mouth .
“But, didn’t you say you were going to create a guild?”
“Yeah, but it’s not something that you can create easily . I’m only planning on it . ”

“3rd class ranking occupation has been undone!”
“Yeah?”
Joo Hyuk Yang responded calmly .
“Why are you so calm?”
Jang Yool turned around and asked .
“Because it’s not the first or second time it’s been undone . Eh, it’s only 3rd class ranking . ”
It wasn’t the first time a 3rd class ranking occupation was solved . It was already two months since the game opened and five days have passed . During that time, quite a lot of special occupations were undone . 3rd ranking special occupations were not considered shocking anymore .
It was at that moment .
“Uh?”
Jang Yool turned to look at his monitor again and shouted . It was filled with panic .
“What?”
Joo Hyuk Yang asked with his ever-calm voice . What type of occupation was undone this time? Or was there a different hidden condition?
“That, that is……”
Jang Yool stuttered as he spoke .
“A user that has acquired the title of Conqueror at O, Oren’s library has appeared . ”
Rustle!
Joo Hyuk Yang stood up from his seat . His composed self was no longer seen . He was shocked .
“Conqueror of Oren’s library? Really?”
Title ‘Conqueror of Oren’s library’, was created but it was a title that he thought would never be acquired by a user . However, a user that’s obtained that title had appeared .
“Yes . ”
Jang Yool shook his head .
“Who is it?”
Who in the world would have obtained this nonsense title?
“Hold on one moment . ”
Jang Yool began typing away on his keyboard . And a short while after, a window popped up on one of his many monitors .
“It’s a user named Soo Hyuk . ”
He looked at his window and responded .
“Soo Hyuk?”
Joo Hyuk Yang mumbled as he approached Jang Yool .
“Let’s look at his information . ”
“Okay . ”
Jang Yool looked up Soo Hyuk’s information on his monitor .
Level: 8
Experience: 51%
Vitality: 2540
Mana: 26420
Satiety: 40%
Strength: 14
Agility: 15
Stamina: 48
Wisdom: 1321
“………!”
“……… . !”
Both Joo Hyuk Yang and Jang Yool looked at the monitor and became silent . They were both astonished as they looked at the information regarding Soo Hyuk on the monitor
‘This is crazy . ’
Joo Hyuk Yang thought to himself as he saw Soo Hyuk’s info .
‘He’s level 8 but how is his stats . ’
His stats were unheard of . The stats were not of a level 8 . Though, Joo Hyuk Yang quickly changed his thoughts .
‘No, the stats may be possible because he’s a level 8 . ’
On the contrary, his stats were possible because he was level 8 . In the case of reading a book that hasn’t been read, users would be able to raise their stats .
Stats did not blindly increase . If you read a book that hasn’t been read yet, you would receive special experience called stats experience .
In order to increase your stats, you would need to raise that stats experience to its limit . The problem was that the limit to the stats experience was different according to the level of each user .
Of course, if your level was low, the experience needed to raise your stats was small and if it were high, even more experience would be needed .
In other words, in order to increase your stats easily, you would need to read a lot of books but more importantly your level needed to be low .
‘But…… . ’
Joo Hyuk Yang was caught in his thoughts as he tilted his head in confusion . There was something he couldn’t understand . It wasn’t the level . On the contrary, he understood the level . What he didn’t understand was…… .
