Only My Skill Tooltip Is Strange

34 – Second Floor, Griffin Hunt.

Efficiency is important.

Just because you won’t die doesn’t mean you won’t get hurt.

Maximize the reward with minimal injury.

To do that, a team was needed.

Carlos was an Earthling player who was active on the second floor with a team.

A team composed solely of Earthlings.

Ten people hunted the griffin and shared the prize.

The player who took the largest share was Carlos.

It was natural since he had the D-rank skill ‘Grade 4 Ignition’.

“I’ll give you a bigger share.”

Carlos thought the Error would not refuse.

No matter how good a skill you have, playing alone is not easy unless you have a strong heart.

‘…All the new guys knew this guy.’

There was a reason Carlos sought out the Error.

The Error was more famous than expected.

‘Even those b*stards who survived the damned entertainment.’

Entertainment.

The periodic Earthling massacre in the Colosseum.

Surviving there is usually impossible without a miracle.

But he did it.

Not just one or two survived, but all except one or two came out intact.

─ A Korean player saved us with an incredible skill.

─ He breathed out cold air, and it seemed really strong.

At the center of it was the Error.

‘I can’t let him go to another team.’

A new player who knows nothing.

If you’re going to make a move, now’s the chance.

Carlos waited for the Error’s answer.

The Error opened his mouth.

“I said I’d think about it. How many times do I have to tell you?”

Carlos’s eyes twitched roughly.

* * *

A battle of nerves.

I took the opponent’s reaction that way.

‘To put it nicely, should I call it discipline?’

Familiar.

The seniors in the sports club used to pick fights like this.

‘We were young back then.’

And there was the wall of reality, something a human alone couldn’t overcome.

No matter how great someone was, it was impossible to block ten hands with one arm.

But now it’s different.

Even if hundreds of Earthlings like the opponent rush at me, I am confident I can win.

I guarantee it.

For 20 seconds after activating Cheolpo Samgong, no Earthling can scratch my body.

The man glares at me and growls.

“…You’ll regret it. Even if you come begging later, I will never accept you.”

Why is he being so clingy?

The question didn’t last long.

Click-.

The sound of the door locking was heard.

The people who were drinking and chatting noisily all looked this way.

Even Lee Seol-ah, who had been almost kicked out, came back in with weapons.

‘Are they all in cahoots?’

The corners of the man’s mouth twisted.

He was mocking me.

“I clearly said you would regret it.”

“…I didn’t expect it. Are you really going to scam a fellow Earthling?”

“Of course.”

Seeing him speak as if it were natural, it seemed he had done it more than once or twice.

“…Why?”

“Are you asking why I’m killing? A fellow Earthling?”

He retorts.

“You’ve just come up to the second floor. Then you might not know. How an Earthling should become strong.”

“Are you trying to kill me to steal my skills?”

“Oh.”

He smirks.

Clapping his hands mockingly, he says,

“You’re quick to understand. It seems you didn’t acquire those good skills by luck.”

There was a misunderstanding about how I acquired the Hatchling Breath skill.

He thinks I absorbed another player’s soul to steal their skills.

‘But I got it by luck.’

Killing someone doesn’t guarantee a 100% absorption rate.

He answered my doubt.

“It’s not zero, is it? Hehe.”

“…This guy is a complete scumbag.”

Killing people while hoping for a very small chance.

‘I have no right to judge him, but this is too much.’

Any hesitation disappeared.

“Wait.”

Did he read my thoughts from my eyes?

He reached out and stopped my movement.

“Your skill is an area attack, right? If you use it here, the building will be destroyed.”

“So what.”

“If the administrator notices, you won’t get away with it either.”

Even while doing such things, he is wary of the administrator.

It was absurd.

‘…Would they care if one Earthling dies?’

Thinking about it, it was a plan with no loss for him.

If he could control the person, he would join the game.

If he couldn’t control them, he would stab them in the back and steal their skills.

‘If it doesn’t work, oh well.’

I burst into laughter.

“Puhat.”

“……?”

I couldn’t hold it in.

“Do you find this situation funny?”

“It seems they’ve gone mad thinking they might die.”

“It happens sometimes.”

Players approached from behind him.

They weren’t just Earthlings.

“Did you bring in other races too?”

Goblins, dwarves, even cat-eared beastmen….

They help Earthlings fight each other and get the leftovers.

From their perspective, it was quite an efficient idea.

I scanned them and came to a conclusion.

There didn’t seem to be any dragon-like monsters.

I think I can handle this.

“The idea is good.”

Pure admiration.

I clapped my hands together just like him and said,

“Honestly, I was curious how Earthlings survive. Thanks to you, I understand now.”

Eyes filled with confidence that they would win.

This really feels disgusting.

It reminded me of when I had an accident and was forced to quit sports.

My hands itched.

“But there’s one big problem with that plan. It came to mind as soon as I heard it.”

“Problem?”

He gave a fishy smile.

“Oh, there is. There definitely is. It looks perfect, but it’s not.”

Flames rose from his body.

It seemed to be the D-rank skill that Lee Seol-ah mentioned.

“But I don’t think you’re the problem.”

With those words, he spewed fire.

You warned me not to use Breath, saying what if the whole building gets destroyed.

But you went ahead and activated a fiery skill without hesitation.

“Oh.”

I immediately activated Prison Frozen and trapped him.

【Species – Midworlder】

Pazuzuzut-!

The flame burst out almost simultaneously.

But the ice wall formed faster.

His flames couldn’t melt the ice wall.

With a durability of nearly 10,000, it didn’t seem like an Earthling’s skill could break it.

“Damn, what kind of damage is this!”

I heard the sound of his body crashing inside.

“This damn ice wall…!”

“This won’t kill him.”

I recalled the damage of Prison Frozen.

523 attribute damage.

It’s not easy for an average Earthling to survive.

But he endured.

Beyond the translucent ice wall.

Blazing flames.

I couldn’t feel the heat, but the effect was clear.

“…Could it be that the damage is halved depending on the attribute?”

Physical damage, spell damage, elemental damage.

No wonder.

Among the three types of damage, only elemental damage had no defense stats.

I got some good information.

“Kill that b*stard. Damn it!”

Trapping him didn’t mean it was over.

He had a team.

As a team, they schemed to deceive naive Earthlings.

The rest couldn’t just stand still.

They all rushed at me.

“This is a long time coming.”

It was a situation where using the Hatchling Breath was tricky.

It had been a long time since I had to deal with a situation solely with brute force.

The difference now was that I had completely different stats compared to a week ago.

I wrapped my fist with a powerful strike.

And I gifted it to the black man who came to me first.

*Smack-!*

* * *

Strength increases attack power, stamina increases vitality and durability.

Intelligence increases spell power, wisdom increases mana and resistance.

Each one enhances different attributes.

Agility and luck do not affect the status window like other stats.

Does that make them useless?

Not at all.

In Lee Seol-ah’s eyes, Oh Ryoo-in seemed to dodge attacks with mysterious movements.

“You son of a b*tch!”

“You dodged this?”

The team members kept hitting the air, but Oh Ryoo-in’s fists ghostly reached them.

*Thud-!*

“Ugh…!”

Those hit by Oh Ryoo-in fell like puppets with their strings cut and never got up again.

“He’s, he’s dead.”

Lee Seol-ah hurriedly approached and placed her fingers on the neck of the fallen person.

No breath.

He had died in a single blow.

Goosebumps rose.

It was unbelievable.

‘Wasn’t he human?’

He is an Earthling.

Because he was summoned for entertainment.

‘But is that even possible?’

Corpses were sprawled across the tavern floor.

They were all teammates who worked with Lee Seol-ah.

“Ah, like this?”

In Oryuin’s hand was a wind gun.

When the Blinding Poison Needle skill was activated, a one-time poison needle was summoned.

“S-save me….”

Lee Seol-ah quickly knelt and begged Oryuin.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Oryuin fired the poison needle.

Phew!

【0】

Lee Seol-ah’s life force instantly dropped to zero.

The light vanished from her eyes.

“Accuracy correction is applied.”

Oryuin muttered as he glared at the remaining other-dimensional players in the tavern.

“If anyone wants to keep their loyalty, come at me.”

They watched Oryuin’s prowess with their own eyes.

In this atmosphere, no one dared to challenge him.

Everyone was busy running away as soon as they got the chance.

Players rushed out in a flurry.

Oryuin deactivated the Prison Frozen and faced Carlos, who had been trapped inside.

“…….”

Carlos looked around with terrified eyes.

The sight of the scattered corpses heightened his fear.

Having heard all the battle sounds from inside the ice wall, it felt even more brutal.

He asked in a trembling voice.

“You, you…. What the hell are you…. How can an Earthling be this strong…!”

“…….”

Oruin, after a brief hesitation, spoke.

“Regressor.”

“……!”

It would be nice to extract information before killing him, but is there a way to make him tell only the truth?

A method to completely persuade the other without revealing information that cannot be disclosed.

‘Kim Minseong. Thank you.’

Judging by his expression, it seems to have worked.

Oruin silently expressed a brief gratitude to Kim Minseong.
