The spirit and Jaehwang sat down face-to-face at the end of the day. He had yet to overcome the differences between reality and the Prison of Time and Space. All he did was look at the ceiling all day while laying down.

  That was the reason why the spirit waited there quietly. He was consciously eating and sleeping during his stay there but there was a big difference in that than actually eating and sleeping.

  “Was there any success?”


  “Well… I almost understood everything about the skill that I have.”


  Jaehwang said as he opened the status window. Nothing was different at all. However, the status window changed and Jaehwang’s Tiger Hunter skill made a boost.

  [Tiger Hunter Skill Raking has increased.]

  [Tiger Hunter Skill Raking has increased.]

  …


  [Tiger Hunter – Rank 4, 12 Percent]

  [Tiger Hunting Skill has reached Rank 4. Followed by ‘Silence Chaser option increased. – Mana Recovery rate 0.5 increase]

  The skill had instantly increased by a few stages. If a different hunter saw something like this then they would faint. One would have to enter the usual course of the hunter body training system as well as the magic academy just to become a Gagseog. Of course, every ability was learned along with the body and magic training but that was what it was solely about.

  The skills that one possessed would be analyzed along with the other participant’s skills during the process. Through individual training, they would be able to gradually learn about their skill points and in return they could be able to learn more.

  He understood that realizing everything he had was not the solution that he needed. Even if he was incredibly skilled, only his acceptable experiences could be put together for him to get stronger. That was just common sense. However, since he was in a place like that, his other ideas that came into mind had crumbled down.

  Jaehwang didn’t exactly know the difference in the status window at first glance and just nodded his head. But after that, his energy levels had also made a boost.

  [Energy Skill Ranking increased.]

  [Energy Skill Ranking increased.]

  [Energy – Rank 3, 87 Percent]

  Mana Recovery rate increased by 2.

  Mana Energy increased by 20.

  Even the energy ranking changed. His Mana Recovery had rapidly increased and the Mana Energy was improved by 70 percent at the same time. The Mana started to increase more and more faster than before.

  “So you have gotten stronger.”


  The spirit said with a surprised look after seeing the results. The energy screen was removed, Jaehwang then shook his head and answered.

  “Looks like it.”


  Jaehwang then got up from out of his seat. He was slightly still tired. He wasn’t exactly tired but he still felt an imbalance within his body. He tottered out the door and got the red cover protection that he received from the tattooed girl.

  “From now on, it’s real.”


  Jaehwang then went outside. There was a morning glow outside the door but soon, the first snow started to fall.

  “I actually knew this was something self-proclaiming. It’s something really burdensome”


  Jaehwang started by getting his arrow and positioning his feet. He began his training by moving up and down and left and right before he looked in all four directions as if he was looking for something to hunt.

  [Energy]

  [Energy Skill Rank Increase.]

  …


  [Energy Skill Rank 3, 56 Percent]

  The energy began to flow throughout Jaehwang’s entire body and he felt ready more than ever.

  The energy core. The place where the energy goes up and supports everything.

  SwooSwooh… Swoosh

  At first, it looked like he wanted to take a step back but he used the same foot as a spring to make a surprise attack by moving forward. It was a small single move but he acted as if he was ready in a fight. He felt light, e felt as if he could swim through mid air and land on the ground again.

  Papag!

  He made a poor shot with his arrow and then he turned around. The arrow flew through the air and then came flying down with the wind blowing at the back of his hand.

  “One arrow…”


  SwooSwoosh…


  He said as he took another arrow in his hand.

  [Unique Arrow]

  He felt the energy surge through him tingling in his two hands and at the same time. Then a red string for a target came out of the spirit. His target was also the giant tree standing about 500 meters away from him.

  He took a deep breath and pointed the head of the arrow towards the sky. The unique arrow didn’t simply just offer him a rapid increase in range, it also gave him the capability to point it exactly where he wanted it to go. An arrow would originally float through the air when it was shot and it would get a lot of influence from the wind. Jaehwang then followed the red line without any mistakes before he set his aims at the tree.

  Pag!

  The moment the refreshing arrow in the cover protection took its shot, it quickly flew far throughout the air without changing its point. It went to the red line without seemingly making one mistake…


  He didn’t hear the sound of it hitting the bullseye but he could see the arrow’s tail of the other side that was jammed into the tree.

  [Inherited Archery Skills Ranking Increase.]

  “My improved archery skills are really doing great. Time for another one…”


  SwooSwoosh…


  He got another arrow from his hand and placed it on the string.

  [Explosive Arrow]

  The red energy started to flow out from the arrowhead.

  Papag!

  It was a little louder and it vibrated the air as it flew and hit into the ground.

  KwakwaKwag!

  The projectile made a big explosion the moment it hit the ground. The cloud of dust eventually faded away revealing a hole with a small diameter of a meter.

  [Inherited Archery Skills Ranking Increase.]

  “Why does it keep dividing like this? Should I be worried? What if I…”


  SwooSwoosh.

  He took another arrow in his hand and slowly pulled back the string.

  [Unique and Explosive arrow]

  Jujujut… Pong!

  The explosive arrow couldn’t be compared with his previous one. It made a heavy sound when it launched.

  KwaKwaKwang!!! Jujug…


  Before the arrow launched off, the [Unique Arrow] was still stuck in the tree and because of that, things went completely wrong.

  KwaKwaKwang!! Kwang!

  The arrow exploded in the middle of the giant tree, causing several layers of bark to fall off.

  [Archery Skill Ranking increase.]

  [Archery Skills Rank 3, 5 Percent]

  “I didn’t know it was possible for a skill to overlap. It seems that something’s still possible with the exploding arrow… Hmm…”


  He said as he faced the spirit. He started to feel some pain in the palm of his hands. He then looked down and saw some bleeding scratch marks.

  “Ugh… Its all great but it takes a lot of energy and I still can’t endure that much pressure…”


  He looked at his hand without saying anything. He didn’t have any protecting equipment and he was using the skill with his bare hands. He had been training ever since he was a kid and he thought that the dense callous that had accumulated in his hands would be okay but he still couldn’t take it.

  [Rapid Resurrection]

  Jaehwang gathered his left and right hand into a fist and then, the common skill began to take effect…


  Jiii…


  A white light surrounded his right hand and after a second the bleeding wounds were gone.

  “Wow.”


  Jaehwang looked at the back and front of his hand with a satisfied smile. In the Prison of time and space he thought that he couldn’t practice two different skills. He could now cook and also instantly heal his damaged hands. He cooked for Mr. Song and he knew how it worked but in the Prison, he thought that he could only train consciously so he didn’t consider testing his recovery skills.

  The spirit nodded her head as she watched him.

  “Looks like you have a recovery skill. You could use it up to three times if you die…”


  “It’s a really good skill.”


  “Really? But I could have given you the recovery skill, you know.

  Jaehwang slightly glanced towards the spirit and gave it an annoyed look.

  The spirit ruined the mood but the recovery skill was still great in his eyes. It was a common ranked skill but it was treated as a special ability.

  Possessing a recovery resurrection skill was just like possessing a higher ranked skill. Although its rating was compared to common skill rankigs, being able to instantly heal a wound was not all it could do. However, no one knew much about the skill as much as everyone knew about the other common skills. Hunters that had healing skills would sometimes work in hospitals and would receive hundreds in their annual salary within the year.

  Instead of just a simple healing skill, Jaehwang’s healing skill was a resurrection skill. With his resurrection skill, he could heal wounds and even erase its scars. The side effects of a normal healing skill would be complex scars but his skill could heal through everything as if nothing ever happened. That was the reason why the resurrection skill had a higher rank compared to the other recovery spells.

  Moreover, it could heal anything quickly and live up to its name. It was a common skill but could do something amazing.

  “I have to get ready to go into the wormhole.”


  “Okay. That sounds great.”


  The Model Hunter 1, The end.
