The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

"Now, shall we talk about the Akashic Page, Ariel?" Sung JiHan murmured as he returned home.

A black shadow spread from his elbow, revealing Ariel's figure.

"The Akashic Page... is the equipment of those who possess Support Gifts," she said.

"Equipment?" he asked.

"Yes. The Akashic Page amplifies the abilities of Support Gifts," Ariel explained.

She reached out her hand towards Sung JiHan's desk.

What she held in her hand, surrounded by a black aura, was the Space 23 model that she had received as a gift after shooting the advertisement.

"While it may not have a permanent effect... it is an item with exceptional amplification capabilities. It's not something that can be used to simply fold and unfold machines," Ariel said, shaking her head in disbelief.

"The description of the Akashic Page also mentions supporting gifts. I don't understand why it's used for something like that," she added.

"Well, there was no such description," Sung JiHan replied.

The item description of the Akashic Page that appeared on Earth was simple.

[Akashic Page]

- Grade: SS

- Makes contact with a higher-dimensional information set.

In the past, it had been used as a meme called the "most useless SS-grade item on the internet."

When Sung JiHan showed it to Ariel, she blinked in surprise.

"Don't they have emotions? Aren't there players with Emotional Gifts?" she asked.

"Players on Earth can't have emotions," he replied.

Among the players with Emotional Gifts, no one could have emotions towards an SS-grade item.

This was because the minimum grade for Emotional Gifts was A.

"Hmm... How many people are there in the lowest-ranked population?" she asked.

"About 7 billion," he answered.

"7 billion? And not a single one of those many people can have emotions towards an SS-grade item? Truly... they are the lowest-ranked species," Ariel nodded in understanding.

In her mind, the equation of human = lowest-ranked species seemed to have become even more solid.

"And even if that were known, it's more likely that it would be used as it is now. There are hardly any cases of using Support Gifts in this world. If someone receives that gift, they just live like an ordinary person," she said.

But to abandon technological innovation and invest in something like the Akashic Page for those people?

As an Earthling, Sung JiHan couldn't imagine such a thing.

"I can't understand it. Even in this world, there will be Dungeon Portals. To get rid of them, wouldn't you need players with the 'Exploration' Gift?" he asked.

"What...! If you have 'Exploration,' can you remove Dungeon Portals?" Sung JiHan's eyes widened at Ariel's sudden remark.

Dungeon Portals.

Currently, they only existed in the bottom 10% of countries in the league, during the tutorial period.

After the tutorial ended, that percentage gradually expanded, and eventually, all countries except for the last 10 nations were covered in Dungeon Portals, leading to their destruction.

"The problem with Dungeon Portals is that complete eradication is impossible," Sung JiHan thought.

There were several attempts to get rid of Dungeon Portals.

They tried bombing the portals, and players tried casting spells on them.

But the Dungeon Portals never disappeared due to such external shocks.

Humanity eventually chose to enter the portals.

"Even if you enter one, it was impossible to completely remove the dungeon," he thought.

Even if everything inside the Dungeon Portal, including tactical nukes, was used to destroy it.

After a day, the Dungeon Portal became even stronger and regenerated.

The types of monsters coming out of the changed Dungeon Portals continued to change.

If ghost-type monsters appeared, the area had to be abandoned.

Although attacks from supporters or magicians could penetrate them, there were too many of them to stop them alone.

However, you can demolish dungeons with exploration gifts...

"You didn't know that? Exploration abilities are essential to find dungeon cores."

"Not at all... I had no idea. Support gifts are quite useful."

"That's right. That's why they are treated the best in our world. It's amazing that they underestimate support gifts... What a fascinating world."

Ariel shook her head as if she couldn't understand.

Then...

"Oh... by any chance, what is the highest grade of support gifts for the lowest race?"

"The highest grade I've seen is A. Our guild master has that grade."

"A is the highest. Then C and D grades must be abundant."

"That's right."

"Those grades are useless in support gifts... It's only natural for them to be treated as ordinary people. Then what about in the field of combat?"

"There are several SSS grades."

"That's why..."

Ariel nodded as if she understood something.

"Do you have any guesses?"

"Owner's species is not suitable for combat at all. There are too many weak points."

Ariel pointed to her chest with her finger, and there was a hole there.

"Shadow elves don't die even like this."

She pointed to her neck.

Her head floated in the air as her neck fell.

"Just having the neck remaining is enough for survival."

"...Impressive."

"This is the survival ability of high-level species. On the other hand, humans are so easy to die. In terms of combat ability, they would be the lowest among the species participating in the Battle Net."

Sung JiHan recalled the species that appeared as enemies in the Space League in the past.

"...Indeed, when it comes to species alone, they were the weakest."

Humans were far behind in terms of basic physical abilities compared to other species.

In addition, they had many weak points, and even a small stab could cause excessive bleeding and death.

Other species could still function normally even if their arms and legs were cut off, and they could even regenerate like starfish.

Especially the vitality of the "elves" was at a level that could easily surpass cockroaches, so they should not be in the same league in terms of balance.

"Such a weak human species participated in the Battle Net... To balance it, the system must have given them exceptional gifts. There are several people who received SSS grade gifts."

"What about other species?"

"That's right. When our star first participated in the Space League, the highest grade for combat gifts was A."

"But they received good support gifts instead?"

"That's right. The average was B grade, and the highest was SSS grade."

Sung JiHan nodded.

"This guy is more useful in providing information than in combat."

Ariel, the shadow of the sun.

Whether it was as a summon or when she used the shadow sword, of course, she was useful.

But now, the fact that she had information from another world was more useful.

To be able to find dungeon cores with exploration abilities...

"I should release this information later."

It would be better to immediately disclose the information about demolishing dungeon portals for the sake of Earth.

Sung JiHan made a cold judgment.

"If it is known that this information came from Ariel, my safety could be at risk."

Although Sung JiHan was currently being treated as the most promising person in the world, if it became known that Ariel knew the league information of this world, he could become a target of the powerful information organization.

No matter how strong Sung JiHan was, he was currently just a silver rank.

It would be difficult to withstand being targeted at the national level.

"I should release the information when I can handle it."

Anyway, it was currently the tutorial period, so the world was not in great danger with the dungeon portals.

"That's beside the point... I need to secure the Akashic pages."

To think that it amplifies the effects of support gifts.

It was an essential item for Sung JiHan, who had a long way to go in growth.

If he strengthens Yoo Ha-yeon's nurturing ability, he will also benefit from it.

"I need to find a way to obtain it."

***

"You have been summoned to the Abyss of the End."

"You are an angel."

"Help the angels and conquer the demon faction."

"So, it's finally the angel faction."

Sung JiHan was in high spirits after a long time.

Since entering the Silver League, he had never been in the angel faction in any of the six games played on the Invade map.

"Even though it took four attempts to invade, we were always in the demon faction..."

With a 50% chance of switching factions, he wondered if he was being rejected on the other side for breaking the Great Angel's sword.

"I just had bad luck."

On the seventh day, he finally became part of the angel faction and had the opportunity to obtain the Reaper's Scythe fragment.

Meanwhile, the players in the angel faction who became teammates with Sung JiHan were delighted to see his face.

"Wow! It's Sung JiHan!"

"Azzaaah!!! It's the first Invade game!"

"I finally get to ride the bus too... Hmph!"

No wonder.

-Are those players the passengers on this bus?

-The first Invade game? They're silver newbies lololololol

-In the previous game, all of Sung JiHan's teammates were in their late 20s to early 30s lol

-By now, he must be an officially recognized bus driver on BattleNet, right?

-Yes~ Yes~~~

Although Sung JiHan had played games sandwiched between level 48-49 players at first.

Even in such unfavorable conditions, he continued to excel in the game without any complaints, and now the teammates he met were different.

In the past, he would meet high-level players, but now they were level 25 newcomers who just reached Silver.

He was paired with beginners on the Invade map.

However, the opponents were still the same as before, around level 40, so except for Sung JiHan, the team's overall strength was overwhelmingly disadvantageous.

But.

-Do you think only Sung JiHan can carry with level 1 players?

-We can win even with a 5:1 ratio, why make a fuss lol

-Exactly. Among the Silver players, who's the one jungling?

-Isn't it Balan?

-Ah~ Buffing 200% in the lane and killing jungle mobs?

-Then why jungle? lolololol

The viewers weren't worried at all.

And the game, of course, went as they expected.

"Oh shit... Why did I end up on the opponent's side!!"

Boom!

The promotion preparation team of the Lee Sung Guild, who were on the same team in the first Invade game.

Sung JiHan, who was in the mid lane, mercilessly pierced the head of Lee Sung, the team leader of the Lee Sung Guild.

"Player Sung JiHan is going crazy!"

"Player Sung JiHan cannot be stopped!"

"Player Sung JiHan receives the divine protection!"

Now, the system voice that was all too familiar.

The viewers of Sung JiHan's channel were no longer excited, but rather looking forward to his next performance.

-This time, one well pentakill?

-Yeah. I heard that Sung JiHan said he would challenge it if he becomes an angel after playing as a demon.

-But Sung JiHan's sword is not dark attribute, right? Damage doesn't really get dealt well between different attributes, does it?

-Haha~~ Sung JiHan~~~ Of course he will do it~~~ Don't doubt him!!!

And soon.

As expected by the viewers, the game progressed.

"Wow... The bus boarding fee... Get out of here, MyMah."

"MyMah? This is enough to be a Molzlois."

"Oh! I admit it. Then since we're noobs, you might come as a bus driver again next time..."

Sung JiHan's low-level team members chatted comfortably and enjoyed the game.

"We agreed not to meet the enemies...ㅠㅠ"

"Ah, I also want to team up with JiHan-nim!!"

"We won't get a well pentakill!!!!"

"We should stick to the jungleㅠㅠ"

The enemy team, in order to avoid the humiliation of a well pentakill, did not defend the base that players were supposed to protect and hid in the jungle.

"They didn't defend their base? LOL"

"Hey, they're not even in the well;;;"

"The well pentakill video was uploaded on BattleTube LOL"

"It's amazing that they thought of hiding in the jungle LOL"

"Oh. This is not a main quest."

Well pentakill achievement.

Actually, since this was achieved in the first game, there was no need to give achievement points for doing it again.

So, there was no need to get a well kill, just attack the shield that was placed in the Devil's Sanctuary and clash with the Reaper's Scythe.

'But there might be hidden achievements again.'

Sung JiHan stopped advancing towards the demon camp and searched the jungle.

Mumyongsin-gong

Bobeop-bup

Seomcheonnoebo-seontianrae-bup

Although the map was wide.

"Huh... How...!"

Only searching the areas not dominated by jungle monsters, he was able to find the players faster than he thought.

"Come. Come. Let's go to the well."

Thump. Thump!

The players who were instantly paralyzed, their bodies stiffened.

Sung JiHan lifted him up with force and went around, searching for players from the demon camp.

"One was in the base. You're the last one. Hiding with four others... how pathetic."

"Sob sob. I didn't want to be featured on BattleTube... Can't you just let me win?"

Thump. Thump.

Sung JiHan, who ignored the crying of the last opponent team leader and nonchalantly paralyzed him, was the one who dealt the final blow.

"This way, it will be featured even more."

Sung JiHan arrived at the enemy base, dragging the four players along.

And in that state.

"Shall we... go home?"

He put all four players into the sanctuary.

Thud!

The four players piled up.

And when one more person who was resting in the sanctuary was added, the five of them gathered at the well.

Sung JiHan smiled at them.

"Well then... Let's go for a pentakill?"
