Only I know the plot of the anime.

"Hey, wait a minute, what are you doing!"

Su Jin's true form is located in the underground city.

At this moment, it received nourishment from an invisible force.

That was a gift from the Star Consciousness [Staria].

Since the rulers can send magic through the passage.

Then it can naturally be delivered there.

Not to mention that both sides are currently connected.

Therefore, Su Jin's [World Connector] class, with its constant flashing, suddenly surged from level 3 to level 4, 5, and 7, before pausing slightly at level 9.

next moment.

The character count jumped to 10Lv!

I've reached the maximum level.

Even the [World Guardian] class has been upgraded by 2 levels.

Level 5 directly!

Full capacity.

They gained skills that enabled them to fight against world-class items.

all of a sudden.

Su Jin's total level has reached 71!

At this level, let alone captain.

Even when death is inevitable, one can only become a roadside creature.

Su Jin's sudden surge in power startled everyone, and the surging energy storm forced them to retreat hastily.

"W-what's going on?"

"I've never heard of such a perk for running dungeons!"

But for Su Jin, it wasn't over yet.

Gaia's message has appeared.

[Gaia One 10086112, you have successfully brought consciousness into a world, a truly miraculous feat, even though this world itself has already been influenced by more than one force. Therefore, you are awarded an EX-level side quest and 50,000 story points.]

[And you have been remembered by this world. When this world needs you, a special mission will be triggered, and you will return to this world.]

[Since the guide, Gaia 648, is not present, relevant details have been sent.]

[An EX-rank side quest item, essential for enhancing skills to a certain extent. Its most crucial function is that it allows Gaia users to unlock worlds without needing to become leaders of a warband; simply using this side quest allows you to transform an unlocked world into your own trial realm!]

Su Jin looked on in surprise.

Sure enough, there are levels above SSS.

Gaiako hadn't mentioned this before.

Perhaps you don't have enough permissions.

An unlocked world?

Worlds like the Abomination world were sealed off by the powerful beings within the Gaia clan using some unknown method, making them impossible for other warbands to block. This is why they became the Earth Alliance's training grounds for cultivating powerful individuals.

Worlds like [Solo Leveling Up] and [Jujutsu Kaisen] are locked by the Ash Lords Warband.

Keep it.

In case we need it sometime.

[Gaia Agent 10086112, your Gaia Agent pre-selection has entered the next stage. After leaving this world, you will receive new related information.]

Su Jin glanced at his access permissions.

It's still a yellow-level, level one mark.

This item can only be increased by defeating monsters on Earth.

It seems that Gaia's Agent has extra hidden points.

Recall what Gaia said.

The training paths for Gaia's agents differ; some excel at exploring other worlds, while others are better suited to staying in their native world.

Perhaps this is the former.

......

the other side.

After experiencing the [Snowy White Ghost], Cheng Xiaoyu continued to grind dungeons with his underling Liu Chenhao.

A total of 19 team battles.

It's almost finished.

Just as they were about to head to the next portal, they suddenly heard a strange man's voice.

"I've found you."

Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed, and he immediately locked onto the source of the sound.

The other person was standing right next to me.

This gave Liu Chenhao a big fright.

"Who...who are you?"

"And what's going on here?"

Suddenly, the surroundings turned dark.

A dark blue liquid was spreading and diffusing in the sky, forming a dome that enveloped the area.

A curtained barrier.

The skills that Su Jin acquired after switching to the [Sorcerer] class.

However, this is not comparable to a true sorcerer.

It also uses magic.

Unlike other Gaias, it does not have an independent system.

Cheng Xiaoyu instantly gripped two short swords, one being [Kasaka's Venomous Fang] and the other [Knight Killer]. The latter was a weapon he specifically purchased during his job change quest to attack heavily armored opponents.

"Who are you?"

Compared to Liu Chenhao.

He was remarkably calm.

After all, that's who he is now.

Previously, he dared to speak on equal terms with the White Tiger Guild leader, Bai Luhao.

They ignored the other person and left.

Su Jin's gaze remained fixed on Cheng Xiaoyu.

"The one who possesses a secret."

"Let me see your strength."

"After all, you wouldn't want people to know that you're constantly getting stronger, would you?"

They realized that the visitors had ill intentions.

Cheng Xiaoyu vanished from his spot in an instant, stirring up a gust of wind, and launched the first attack.

It was actually more of a test.

He was deeply shaken.

How could someone else have noticed my situation?

As a result, Su Jin easily blocked his attack with two sword strikes, and the collision between the blades only produced a few sparks.

However, the astonishing force transmitted from the weapon caused his palm to crack open at the base of his thumb.

He almost dropped his weapon.

This is the value that Su Jin has gathered.

Cheng Xiaoyu was greatly surprised, but no longer hesitated.

Skill—Running!

This can increase his speed by 30%, allowing him to attack from all directions.

In a very short time, the two sides exchanged more than a dozen moves.

Swords clashed and sparks flew.

In Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes, the opponent's position had not changed at all; he had only swung that long sword, and he was able to block all of his attacks without leaving a trace.

They handled it with great ease.

He exudes the demeanor of a kendo master who has immersed himself in the art for many years!

That being the case.

Cheng Xiaoyu had a sudden thought.

He immediately used the skill [Throwing Short Sword], and unsurprisingly, the weapon was knocked away.

The other party ignored the weapon.

Then, activate [Hand of the Dominator]!

This is the [Runic Stone] skill obtained after defeating Igrit, which can have a physical effect on objects.

The form it takes is...

Even if the weapon is dropped, it can fly back to his hand from a distance using this skill.

If used properly.

This can catch the opponent off guard.

But this time...

It was as if the opponent had eyes in the back of their head; they swiftly deflected the flying dagger with a backhand.

"You don't actually think this trick will work, do you?"

"And that's all you're capable of?"

Cheng Xiaoyu no longer held back.

"come out!"

As the voice faded away.

The shadow behind him began to expand and extend rapidly, and a large number of shadow soldiers and shadow monsters emerged from it. This was a sight that would make other summoners in the world question their existence.

Because a typical summoner only summons one or two.

Unlike Cheng Xiaoyu.

There are always huge piles of them.

These shadow troops are led by [Iglet] and [King Ryan].

Some shadow mages were also watching from behind.

An astonishing surge of magical energy was brewing.

It's as if a great battle is about to break out!

The man opposite him laughed.

"That's more like it."

"It's finally looking decent."

at the same time.

The Shadow King within Cheng Xiaoyu's body uttered a surprised and doubtful sound.

He was secretly observing Su Jin.

The Shadow King [Ashborn].

If you break it down, Ash means ashes, and born means born in, or born from.

Combined, it becomes "Born from Ashes".

This fits his story perfectly.

Once a fragment of brilliance, yet died in battle.

To come back to life after death.

He thus became the lord of the dead, who controlled the power of death.

So it could sense that the other party had also died once!

And while Cheng Xiaoyu was panting heavily.

The man gave his name: Su Jin.

And how should I put it?

The other party is not the real person.

But the aura of death still lingers.

It's not about his appearance.

It refers to the inner essence!

Furthermore, he possesses more than one wondrous power.

How strange, how interesting humans are.
