Reading Webnovels Makes Me Stronger

Chapter 156

The practice of wielding a sword is ineffective. But that didn’t mean that Park Si-jun didn’t like the practice.

“Whoa, hook!”

in a small cave. Park Si-jun continued to swing his sword while listening to the sound of dripping water.

As he swings his sword, the thought of chasing disappears. This practice was perfect for organizing complex thoughts.

‘It’s because I don’t get anything for time.’

There was no need to think about such an efficiency issue now that it was overflowing with time to rot.

As Park Si-jun continued to swing his sword, various thoughts came to his mind and organized again.

“Huh, woohoo…”

Park Si-jun swung his sword all day like that.

Even if his ragged clothes were soaked with sweat, and his whole body hurt as if it was going to break, he continued to swing it.

Then one day, a change occurred.

[Strength increased by 1 through repeated training.]

“……Huh?”

A message window appeared in front of Si-Jun Park.

A message that nothing else but an ability level increased. My vision, which had been blurry from fatigue, became clear in an instant.

“What is this?”

ability has risen. Of course, since Park Si-joon in real life is a player, there is nothing strange about increasing his abilities.

But this is in the novel. The current self is not Park Si-jun, but Gil-cheon in the novel.

But the skill level goes up.

‘Then don’t you see the status window as well?’

Park Si-jun opened the status window as if possessed.

[Name] Gilcheon (Park Si-jun)

[Level] 1 (100)

[Title] None

[Background] None

[Ability]

Strength: 11 (323.2) Agility: 10 (269.1)

Health: 10 (215.4) Intellect: 10 (168.4)

Holy: 0 (92.6) Magi: 0 (132)

Honor: 0 (302)

Remaining points: 0

Park Si-joon’s eyes were confused.

it looked real He was visible, but not of his own abilities.

‘Is it Gilcheon’s status window?’

Park Si-joon’s head was confused.

Can he open the status window even in the scene in the novel? He had never even thought of doing that.

‘Why didn’t I think of that?’

Park Si-joon blankly looked at the status window.

My strength increased by 1 as if the message a while ago wasn’t a lie.

However… … .

“Hey, the stats are really bad.’

It was like seeing his first ability.

I heard that Gilchun had no talent throughout the work, but seeing this, I understood.

Moorim has a lot of talented people who eat raw meat, but he didn’t have that much talent.

“…Then I guess so am I.”

His initial ability was the same as that of Gilcheon, but he himself was not that talented.

He felt something complicated.

‘So, you’ve been training for a thousand years, so you’ve raised this crappy ability tremendously?’

Of course, from the player’s point of view, Si-Jun Park.

In the novel, it was described as a flower scene or something like this.

‘If you practice while wielding a sword, these abilities will increase, this is it… … ‘

There was one problem.

‘Can I take the stats I raised by doing that?’

He trained hard at best and raised his stats, but if it only applies here and disappears, it’s a pain in the ass.

“Then you can check it out.”

Eventually, I had a way to check it myself.

Park Si-Jun without even the slightest hesitation.

“I will give up.”

The scene implementation was abandoned.

* * *

Park Si-jun opened his eyes.

He saw a familiar living room, not the cave from a while ago. It was his house.

“…are you back?”

There is only one reason why I gave up on scene implementation and came back.

He immediately opened the status window.

[Name] Park Si-Jun

Strength: 323.3 Agility: 269.1

Stamina: 215.4 Intellect: 168.4

Holy Power: 92.6 Magi: 132

Honor: 302

Park Si-joon wrapped his forehead and squeezed it.

His abilities had risen. Yes, he literally climbed.

“0.1…”

Just 0.1. The principle seemed clear.

It seems that he can bring one-tenth of the stats obtained from the cave.

Park Si-jun bowed his head.

“Whew, whoops…”

-… nyaan?

Then he immediately started to laugh.

A cat passing by Park Si-joon, smiling alone, looked at him like a madman.

He laughed like that for a while.

And he took out his bookmark.

“I can do it, I can.”

Even 0.1 will become a large number if you keep building it up. Time does not pass, but this kind of compensation is worth it.

‘You did a good job saving your concentration.’

Park Si-jun used the focus skill of the bookmark. The scenery around him became distant and his concentration was strengthened.

‘… A book that swordsmen who have trained for a thousand years have read countless times.’

This is a book that I have read countless times, immersed in the main character.

Maybe that’s why, I was able to try to implement the scene easily without any special process.

Park Si-jun closed his eyes.

Whoa!

He embodied the scene.

When he opened his eyes again, he was still in an unfamiliar cave.

It was strange, but it didn’t matter. Because this was a new opportunity.

[Skill: The effect of concentration adds one effect to help realize the scene.][Effect: Time acceleration. Time will pass faster and you will be able to achieve faster results. The mind becomes stronger.]

The effect was activated as if he was just trying to help him.

This was another effect of concentration.

Concentration helps immersion, making it easier to create scenes.

And at the same time, it also provided effects that help achieve the scene realization.

“I’ll try.”

Park Si-jun raised his sword.

His initial emptiness came and went and disappeared without a hitch.

* * *

From that day, Park Si-joon’s hard work began.

Boo-woong! Kang!

His routine was extremely simple.

Waking up in the morning, he stretches and swings his sword.

Then, when you are hungry, you eat herbs, and when you are thirsty, you drink the standing water.

“Woo-wook, hook!”

And he swung his sword again.

Then, when he was so exhausted that he couldn’t take it anymore, he fell asleep.

Repeated this for several weeks.

It was a routine that was close to asceticism that the average person could not endure, but it was worth it.

[The muscle that has reached its limit has been restored. Strength stat increased by 1.][You have crossed the limit of your physical strength. Stamina stat increased by 1.][I seem to have learned a little about the principle of moving the body. Agility has increased by 1.]

This is because the ability continued to rise.

‘Yes, at least 0.1.’

Still, there was a reward, so I was able to survive.

And besides this, there was something else that kept him going.

‘Concentration.’

It was the concentration effect of the bookmark.

Concentration made Park Si-joon’s training speed even faster.

His stats rose faster, and it made it feel like time flew by, especially when he wielded his sword.

“Today… how many days has it been since you came in?”

So the day felt short, and it felt like a month. A year didn’t seem that long.

ugh.

As Park Si-jun chewed the herbs, he tried to remember how long he had been in.

His sense of time was so blurred that he couldn’t tell exactly how much had passed.

I think it’s been a year or so.

‘Ability… … ‘

Park Si-jun opened the status window.

[Name] Gilcheon (Park Si-jun)

Strength: 102 (323.3) Agility: 100 (269.1)

Health: 111 (215.4) Intellect: 10 (168.4)

Holy: 0 (92.6) Magi: 0 (132)

Honor: 0 (302)

Park Si-joon looked at his status window and smiled.

It was seen that his abilities had risen sharply. Of course, returning to Park Si-jun is only one-tenth of that.

‘Strength, agility, stamina has risen by about 10.’

In terms of efficiency, he is on the bad side.

Players who don’t have many ways to raise their stats would be terrified, but it wasn’t Park Si-Jun.

He has a web novel. If he’s going to raise his stats, he just needs to read some web novels and upload them.

However.

‘This means that time has not passed.’

That was the best part.

Time does not flow in real life.

Until Park Si-joon’s spirit could endure, he had to work hard.

“Okay, okay. Let’s try more.”

Park Si-jun smiled and tried to practice more.

He was exhausted and exhausted now, but he felt nothing but happiness as he held his sword.

[What an absurd man.]

As soon as Park Si-jun was about to swing his sword again, a voice was heard from somewhere.

It was definitely the first time I heard it, so it felt familiar even though it was unfamiliar.

[There must be other people like this other than me.]

Park Si-jun looked around.

The voice was heard, but the owner of the voice was not seen.

Where are you?

He had nothing to worry about. It was in his own mind.

“Are you Gilcheon?”

Park Si-jun asked with certainty.

He had already experienced a similar thing when he implemented the scene of the last time he was reincarnated.

[Do you know how many years have passed?](Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“I don’t know. How long has it been?”

[It is 10 years.]

Park Si-joon’s eyes widened.

I thought he was only a few weeks old, but he’s 10 years old.

‘Wow, the efficiency is worse than I thought.’

After 10 years of training, he barely reached 100.

Of course, Si-Jun Park felt as if only a few weeks had passed due to the effect of his bookmarks.

“There are still 990 years left, so if you fill it all out… your abilities will be pretty thick…”

[No, it won’t be.]

“Why?”

Gilchun denied with a sigh. The sound of sighs echoing directly in my head made me feel strange again.

[Do you think that you can grow endlessly with such simple and ignorant training? It is a meaningful training method even when the body is weak.]

“Isn’t that the way you practiced?”

[I did that. Because there was no way.]

Gilchun clicked his tongue out loud.

[There was no teacher, there was nothing to see and learn. He had no choice but to sharpen his samjae sword technique. That was my situation when I was in this cave.]

Park Si-jun closed his mouth.

[So he wasted a lot of time. He has spent a thousand years, but he will spend more time in vain than in profit. But you… … .]

Gilcheon said he was weak.

Realizing his own weakness, he advanced to a higher level as he practiced the mind, not the sword.

[Why do you practice so meaningless when you already have things you can see and learn?]

Upon hearing those words, Park Si-jun fell into thought.

He said the water lily worked.

Anyway, his stats were over 100 anyway.

The problem is time.

Doesn’t that mean that it’s only passed 100 after 10 years?

‘It’s too inefficient.’

And if Gilcheon is right, the efficiency will gradually decrease and the rate of increase of the stat will become slower.

‘Now that I have accumulated all the basic stamina, I have to find another way to train.’

Park Si-jun tried to remember how Gil-cheon trained.

But he couldn’t remember anything.

[Doesn’t your head contain the experience and knowledge of how I used the samjae sword method?]

“Yeah… it’s long.”

[Use them to find and correct the problems with the Samjae Swordsmanship that you unfold. That is the beginning.]

Park Si-joon was deep in thought.

Gilcheon’s experience and knowledge in his head. Up to now, they have been using them naturally and unfolding the samjae sword method.

‘Are you going to use those experiences?’

Park Si-jun thought about what he should do.

“But why are you helping me like this?”

Then, out of nowhere, I asked a question.

At that question, Gilchun let out another long sigh.

[Because I’m tired of looking at this cave.]

“…Ah.”

He gave such an answer.

It was an understandable answer.
