LIGHTNOVELSTORY chapter 25
25 – Rapid Growth
*
At the same time as I was absorbed into my body with the energy of the elixir, new characteristics and skills were sprouting within me.
[Muscle strength increases.]
[The quickness increases.]
[Stamina increases.]
[The magic power rises.]
[The level rises.]
The message that the stats that were stagnant at 59 will rise continues to rise and cover my eyes. But that’s not what’s important now.
The tremendous pain that comes from accepting the SS-class characteristics of the body type is eating away at my body. And his exceptionally high mental stat compared to other stats was helping him endure it.
An indomitable existence that supports mental strength that exceeds three digits. My body complained of pain, but my mind was clear and calm.
Bone twists and blood spurts from all over. The skin peels off and new skin grows, and new blood is supplied from the heart to circulate throughout the body.
‘It hurts, it hurts.’
It is said that although pain is felt, it does not lead to fainting or shock. It was really fortunate that if I passed out in this situation, I would not be able to fully absorb the power of the elixir.
I invested all the remaining points and raised the mental strength stat, giving it a good value.
‘But something is strange…?’
I was contemplating the inside of my body with my eyes closed, but there was one stat that grew especially steeply compared to other stats.
‘Muscle strength.’
While his agility and stamina have grown to 62, his strength stat has already surpassed 75 and is looking at 80. No matter how you think about it, this was an unusual situation.
‘Uses 7 points for stamina.’
In preparation for my body not being able to handle the strength and bursting out, I even used the points I gained from leveling up to invest my stamina.
[Muscle strength increases.]
[The quickness increases.]
[Stamina increases.]
I thought the imbalance in my body would be resolved as my stats went up and my physical strength reached 70, but my strength exceeded 80. The power I felt in my body was on a different level than before.
‘f*ck. Why are you doing this?’
So far, a total of 10 levels have been raised through the elixir. Invest the stats in the 9 stacked again in your physical strength to make it 79 and endure.
And from the moment his stat went up to 80, his stamina stopped rising and his strength was still on the rise.
That’s how it goes beyond 90, and beyond 95, and beyond 99… And reaches three digits.
[Muscle stat exceeds 100.]
[The system analyzes your behavior and tendencies to create characteristics.]
[Attribute: Acquires Boulder (A).]
Still, I raised my stamina up to my 80s, so I am holding up to some extent with my strength, which has exceeded 100. However, the change did not end there.
[The user’s body remembers the force.]
[Great power evolves into divine power.]
An expected evolution of characteristics. And the growth stopped when the muscle strength exceeded 100 and reached 101… 102… 103.
And a new possibility related to cold dwelled in my body.
[The change of the body has been completed.]
[Attribute: Acquire Initial Giant (SS).]
[Skill: Acquire Frost (Lv1).]
Perhaps the cause of this abnormal growth is due to this characteristic. I immediately checked the information of the primordial giant.
[First Giant (SS): The body of the first giant, the ancestor of frost giants and the ancestor of all beings.
All giants weaker than the user obey.
The body does not deteriorate with any curses or barriers.
The body maintains its best performance until death.
The limits of the body’s growth disappear.
*Strength stat increases by 50 permanently.
*The race is changed to a giant.
*Sub Skill: Enormous Opening]
‘What is this…’
Obey of all giants weaker than the user. Well, when I meet giant monsters like ogres, they seem to follow me. Maybe i can try it later
All curses and barriers that weaken my physical abilities are nullified, and my body maintains its best skills until the moment I die, enabling me to grow without knowing the limits.
Usually, the moment a certain stat exceeds 100, it is judged that it is no longer possible to grow through training, but now my strength, agility, and stamina ignore it.
‘Of course, I have to specially manufacture training tools suitable for my strength.’
The reason why strength exceeded 100 was because of the special effects below. As befits the name of the original giant, these guys seem to have a strength of over 50 since they were born.
That added to my strength, which was 59, and quickly grew to 103. The fact that I had not trained hard for 17 years was rather an advantage.
If my strength was much higher than it is now, my physical strength could not keep up with the growth and my body might have collapsed. Did you say this was a phone call?
Looking at gigantism, as the name suggests, it is a sub-skill that can use energy to increase the size of one’s body tremendously. It has the effect of increasing the size of the equipment I am wearing, so it seems that I will not become naked even if I wear it. It was fortunate.
Shinryeok is an upward compatible characteristic of Georyeok, and when I fight while using my body, it is not very different from what I know as a supporting type that helps me to give out stronger strength, so I did not look deeply into it.
The following information has been confirmed.
[Frost (Lv1, Legend): The power of cold that the frost giants, the children of the primordial giant Ymir, handle.
It grants dominance over the cold itself.
*Unlocks sub-skills upon reaching Lv3
*Unlocks sub-skills upon reaching Lv5
*Unlocks sub-skills upon reaching Lv7
*Sub-skills open upon reaching Lv10]
‘This is my first skill…?’
Skills that deal with normal attributes were implemented as a single shot as soon as they were used, such as Firewall or Ice Spear, and fired at the enemy.
However, this skill, like an attribute, helps me deal with coldness freely, and it has many sub-skills.
I put cold energy on one hand and brain energy on the other hand.
‘This is a sun call…’
I thought of a job that handles ice and lightning at the same time in a certain game I enjoyed before, but that’s not what’s important right now. I have to explain to the two people who are staring at me in amazement.
“Ah… I’m sorry, White Dragon. The room is dirty because of me.”
Since I’ve been using Muk-roe-Buk-ryeok Shin Gong since I was in orphanage, nothing like waste came out of my body. However, the room was extremely dirty with only the blood and flesh that spurted out all over the body.
“It’s okay. I’m not cleaning it up.”
‘I’m sorry… Employees.’
I thought this guy was very easy-going and common-sense, unlike a rich boy, but surprisingly, he seems to be merciless towards his subordinates.
‘No… Making people work for money, that’s also the realm of common sense.’
Because otherwise there’s no reason to pay.
“Anyway, it looks like you’ve passed the ordeal… You’re a master, too.”
Since no one has ever passed the ordeal of the divine elixir, which has SS-level characteristics as a reward, it is possible that there will be an even greater reaction, but that guy’s reaction is calmer than expected.
A while ago, it seemed like he was making a surprised expression for a moment, but it was already gone.
It’s like, ‘If it’s my teacher, this much is natural’? I wonder what kind of existence I am to that guy. Could it be that they are treating me as an out-of-standard monster?
“You’ve become incredibly strong in an instant… No matter how good the elixir is, it’s impossible for a person to change this much in an instant…”
I’ve explained what a status window is, but Ha-yeon is dumbfounded since it’s the first time she’s seen such an unrealistic growth.
‘Yes. This is a normal reaction Jin Baek-ryong, that guy is weird.’
“Hmm… To put it simply, there are beings called gods in this world. And when those beings die, there are times when they leave something like an elixir along with their thoughts. After passing the test of those thoughts, I inherit the power of the gods. Got it.”
This was enough to be the first stroke instructor.
“It’s a god… It’s strange that he dies with such a grandiose name.”
Has it been said that gods are immortal but not immortal? Well, extinction is the same as death, so I didn’t bother to correct it.
“If the absorption of the elixir is over, how about going to dinner? I thought you came without lunch.”
I’m starving since I left without breakfast to make sure I had a big meal.
“I’ll just check the status window for a moment. I need to see what’s changed.”
“Yes.”
‘Status window. Stats only.’

Luck: 20
Remaining points: 0]
I had 9 points left, so I invested all of them in physical strength to balance it out. At this level, even if you use your strength properly, it doesn’t seem like it will put a lot of strain on your body.
If possible, it would have been nice if I could hit 100 stamina, but if I level up hard and train hard, I’ll be able to hit it soon.
The race has been changed to a giant as the characteristics were written, but I’m not sure how this will work later.
‘It would be worth seeing if I became a police officer in this state.’
He was incredibly strong even when he was just an ordinary Hyeon-gyeong, but I can’t imagine how strong he could be if he added frost to the original giant.
Perhaps Ymir’s fingers will be strong enough to endure with ease. With that thought in mind, I looked at the stats that exploded this time with satisfaction, and blew them all away.
“Then let’s go eat.”
Now that I’ve got everything to gain, I’m thinking of getting food or treats comfortably. To be honest, I only eat rice, so there won’t be any problems.
‘Easy… Can I eat?’
If you think that nothing will happen, something will happen and you feel anxious. She thought it was a useless worry and followed Jin Baek Ryong with Ha Yeon.
