chapter 5
Hidden Skills
hidden skill.
The conditions for obtaining it are difficult, and even if it is obtained that way, only one skill can be acquired.
In the case of obtaining a better hidden skill in the second half after obtaining the existing hidden skill, most of them had no choice but to swallow the tears and give up one.
‘But Lee Seok-hyun is different.’
The reason why Lee Seok-hyeon, who is called a poop, was in demand at the Kyuyeokkuyeok Paddy.
That’s because it’s the only character that doesn’t have a hidden skill slot limit.
Can you carry multiple fraud skills that others can only learn one?
It was as if a huge peak was guaranteed.
‘Because of that, from the beginning to the middle is atrocious.’
Everything is random and a character who has a chance to die in the introduction.
Worst initial growth rate, multiple death routes.
However, the only existence with the potential to monopolize hidden skills.
That was Seokhyun Lee.
And I, who belongs to the rotten water, knew all the hidden skills I could get from the beginning.
‘You have to get what you really need and escape. Because the introductory success reward is greater than the hidden skill.’
The ant burrow was hell for beginners, but a small bonanza for veterans.
The skill you need the most in this situation is… .
‘This is it.’
I made a quick decision and got up.
It was time to slowly raise the beacon of counterattack.
+++++++++++++++++++
Kim Hyuk-jun, the best of the orphans belonging to the anthill, has been paying close attention to Lee Seok-hyun for some time.
It was awkward to say that he was the best, but he was the first to come in, so he’s not dead yet, he’s still alive.
It was nothing more and nothing less.
‘Lee Seok-hyun… Why are you so fussy about the guards?’
In fact, there were many orphans waving their tails at the guards, so there was no strange problem.
‘It is a human habit to want to be attached to the strong.’
Kim Hyuk-jun, who suffered from the bitter taste of society from an early age, was already very keen in human relationships at the age of ten.
But ten years old is ten years old.
Since he was still young, it was difficult to fully understand Lee Seok-hyun’s behavior.
‘What the hell are you doing?’
At first, he wags his tail at the guards and pretends to ignore his fellow comrades.
Now, getting snacks from the guards and scattering them was incomprehensible.
Seok-hyeon Lee sprinkles food with a nuance as if he was waving his tail to do this.
After repeating that a few times, he became a natural leader among orphans.
“Why the hell are you doing this?”
In the end, Kim Hyuk-jun couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked Lee Seok-hyun directly.
Sweet pancakes and orange juice that can be eaten for a week if eaten alone.
I couldn’t understand why they gave this to children for no reason.
“Why are you doing this?”
“No, if you eat alone… you can eat for a long time.”
“Doesn’t it taste better when we eat together?”
The pure answer of a seven-year-old who spit out too much for granted.
Kim Hyuk-jun thought about showing the bitter taste of society, but he quit because he thought it would be better to experience it himself.
‘Do you not know that no matter how much food you give, it will eventually turn into sh*t?’
In extreme circumstances, a person exhibits nothing but basic needs.
Even now, in fact, I only like Lee Seok-hyun because it temporarily satisfies his appetite.
Lee Seok-hyun didn’t like the person himself.
‘What does it mean to be treated like a captain?’
If that’s all I could do with my whole body wrapped in bandages and getting snacks.
‘You are the same after all.’
Because I know that I can never escape from here if I fall for the near sweetness rather than the distant hope.
Kim Hyuk-jun looked at the floor bitterly and erased hope again.
++++++++++++++++++++
It’s been a month since I was treated like a captain by flirting with the jailer, giving snacks to the children.
finally.
—-
Tiling!
Within a short period of time, I gained the trust and trust of most of the people in the group.
Through his steadfast appearance in a desperate environment, he revealed who the captain was in the minds of the children.
Acquire the hidden skill [United Will].
[United Will] :: For 15 seconds, you gain +1 additional overall stats for each number of people in your group.
It has a cooldown of one week.
—-
‘It’s out!!!’
I was finally rewarded for the hard work I had been doing for a month in the service business while shaking my hips.
Only Lee Seok-hyun was able to acquire the hidden skill [United Will] at the beginning.
‘It must be trusted by more than 90% of the group and the perception of being the leader is imbued.’
Here, the captain or chief did not necessarily have to be the head of the group.
Even if I was in charge of something representing the group, I was treated as such.
In my case, I was recognized as the leader of orphans.
‘The standard for a group is at least 20 people… And the only thing that satisfies this is Seokhyun Lee’s introduction.’
The rest of the characters have skills that they might get after entering the academy.
Lee Seok-hyun was definitely something he could get.
The trust and belief spoken of in the Hidden Skill [United Will] was possible because they treated me even when I reached the highest point temporarily.
Even if you meet the minimum conditions, the added stat is a whopping +20.
This was a shame that surpassed that of ordinary people, so the guards were a breeze.
‘Finding a map and gaining skills, this is the best result.’
The reason why he dared to go the long way even though he was able to sneak into the jailer’s dormitory.
Being within a group did not simply include orphans, but represented the entire anthill.
Therefore, gaining the trust of the guards was not an option but a necessity.
‘Step 1 is over.’
All that’s left is to wait for the right time and one thing to take care of.
‘You have to have it to get the best results.’
In fact, if I had asked to escape alone, I could have escaped the anthill right now.
‘But if that’s the case, Lee Seok-hyun didn’t do it.’
The reason I chose Lee Seok-hyun in the first place was not simply because the hidden skill slots were unlimited.
The character of a dungmmelier also played a part.
The biggest reason is that Lee Seok-hyun has the most ‘heroic’ choices.
A character who can save everyone without giving up hope even in the worst situations.
That was Seokhyun Lee.
‘And now that I’m possessed by Lee Seok-hyun, I have to go to a happy ending.’
I decided not to use the people who gave me snacks to live alone as meat shields.
“Wo! Seokhyun! I’m going to go give the chief a massage today!”
“Yeah! I see!”
As I was refining my plans with that promise, Mannis called me.
Now, after acquiring the hidden skill, was actually the best time to put the plan into action.
If there was one problem, I wondered if the children would completely follow me.
‘In games, it simply follows when you fill your liking, but this is not a game.’
Although it was in the game, it is in the real reality where events and accidents are no longer determined by pieces of data.
It was unclear how many words I would hear when I asked you to follow me for some food.
Before entering the warden’s room, Mannis touched me and gave me a physical examination.
It was a formality thing, but because of this, I never dreamed of carrying something like a sharp stone.
‘If you don’t have teeth, you have to do it with your gums.’
I clenched my fists and followed Manice to the warden’s room.
Unlike the guards’ quarters, the chief’s room boasted a very luxurious quality.
It is unbelievable to live in an underground burrow with fresh air and a pleasant environment.
Even the floors were all covered with marble, so there were no bugs to be found.
“Chief of the Warden! Seok-hyeon has brought him.”
“Hello, Chief Warden.”
“Oh, come on, Seokhyun-ah. I’ve been waiting.”
The jailer was a middle-aged man in his fifties, and he was a wandering knight who had made a name for himself in the past.
Then he knew the taste of illegal money and had an obvious story of kidnapping orphans.
A piece of garbage that is blacker and more intelligent than a squirrel, and is obsessed with taking care of its own teeth.
‘The reason he treats me so well is just because I’m good at massages.’
In fact, the jailer had been massaged for a long time, but he never gave me anything in return.
Even if it was time to change the bandages, he would not give them away, so I could get a glimpse of his toughness.
‘A good massage tool that just listens to the words and leads the children.’
It was so much that I could feel it on my skin to treat it that way.
But even if you exclude all of these things, there is another reason why the jailer is truly disgusting garbage.
“Um yeah, Mannis, get out and make sure there’s no one near my room until I call.”
“Yep!”
As soon as Manniss left, the warden licked his tongue and approached me in an instant.
The jailer blatantly grumbles and licks my ears with his old-smelling tongue.
Yes.
‘This pedophilia bastard.’
He had a bad taste of catching a kid he didn’t know and having s*x with him.
Of course, that has never happened since I took over the massage.
It was always the result of taking care of myself well in advance and losing all my energy with massage.
“Don’t even think about running away today.”
“Can I do a massage first?”
“Uhhh… yes… that’s it.”
The warden rubbed my ass a couple of times and then went back to the bed, accustomed to lying on his back.
When I first gave a massage, how embarrassed I was lying with my belly exposed.
What is the shock of witnessing the worst meme that is sometimes seen on portal sites on Earth in real time?
“Didn’t I say that today will be a different experience when I turn my back on it?”
“Yes, yes, I am looking forward to it.”
I slowly climbed over the guard’s body and clenched my fists, pretending to be ready for a massage.
[The united will is activated! Temporarily acquires stats in proportion to the number of people in the group!]
All the children in the group, the guards, and the guards’ powers merge, divide, and enter my body.
The child could not do anything no matter how strong he was, so he was careless and showed his back.
‘That’s your biggest mistake.’
bang!
The power of an adult in a child’s body hits the head of the jail and hits him directly on the neck.
It was time to escape from this damn ant nest.
