Chapter 3
I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 3
#3. A man of SS-level talent (1)
A golden spear that is not only flashy but also majestic.
Damdeok swallowed without realizing it.
“The Gods’ Store…?”
What unfolded before my eyes were colorful Noble Phantasms.
Those were things that could never be achieved with human power.
[Absolute God Odin’s Javelin (Myth)]
Description: Odin’s exclusive weapon called Gungnir.
Effect: A javelin that never misses. It comes back on its own.
[Nemean Lion Armor (Myth)]
Description: Armor made by Hercules after defeating the Nemean Lion.
Effect: Neutralizes all physical attacks.
[Freya’s Necklace (Myth)]
Description: A necklace made with great effort by dwarf fairies.
Effect: Creates a rainbow for dimensional travel.
It wasn’t just equipment.
Even the ‘powers’ of the gods were on display in the store.
[Thor’s Power_Thunderbolt]
Description: The power to control the lightning of all things.
[Hephaestus’ Power_Flame]
Description: The power to control the fire of all things.
[Ares’ Power_Destruction]
Description: The power to destroy everything.
My heart was pounding.
What if….
what if I could buy all of this?
I dare say that it does not seem impossible to become a god in a human body.
Because the store was filled with all the powers and weapons in the world.
“good. “This is the beginning of a life turnaround!”
But there was one problem…
“Why is it so expensive?!”
The cheapest power was a whopping 70,000 Tor.
All I have is 12 torr.
But it’s done.
Okay.
As long as I have this part-time job, I will be able to buy them all someday.
‘It seems as difficult as buying my own home…’
Anyway, there is a possibility, so it’s okay.
Right now, wouldn’t it be okay to just buy something that can be purchased with 12 torr?
“Let’s see what you can buy with this money…”
Damdeok, who was looking around the store, realized two things.
first.
‘Thor’ in 12Thor is the name of God.
So, this means that Thor paid for his name with his salary.
It’s a bit profound, but I decided to just understand it as explained.
Whatever it was, the fact that you could buy items in the store with Thor’s name was important.
Then the second.
This was a little…
no, a little too shocking.
“under?”
Even though I am someone who rarely gets embarrassed, the tips of my eyebrows trembled slightly.
The things in front of me were enough to make my 27 years of life feel empty.
[Swordsmanship (SS)]
Description: Swordsmanship that has reached the level of a god.
[Study (Worker’s) Talent (SS)]
Description: The level of a god adept at learning and mastering.
[Talent of Charm (SS)]
Description: Men and women of all ages. A state where you can grab and shake everyone’s hearts.
The word talent (才能) that has haunted me my whole life
.
They were displayed in rows like commercial products.
“SS level talent is 12 Thor…?”
The cheapest power I heard earlier was 70,000 Tor?
Looking at the comments below, I could quickly guess the reason.
└ Someday, the best god: Do you still farm this?? I wonder who buys the talents that creatures use.
└ Holy Toe: That’s right. Manager. Please update with new powers! What the gods need is not ‘talent’, but ‘power’!
okay.
It seems that the gods think of ‘talent’ as a lower-level compatibility with ‘power’.
“Still, it’s SS-level talent…”
Is it because I’m human?
I didn’t quite understand.
What does SS rank talent mean?
Isn’t it said that what an average person can achieve with 100 years of effort, SS rank can be achieved in just one day?
The highest ability granted to mankind.
There were only two people in Korea.
A noble talent with less than 100 people in the world.
Is it possible to acquire such incredible talent through hard work?
“It’s absurd…”
It was something I had hoped for and hoped for.
There were countless days when I struggled to have at least an F-level talent.
I heard that being near a dungeon would help me awaken easily, so I set up a tent and lived homeless for six months. I also
heard that being exposed to monster blood was effective, so I went to a slaughterhouse without pay.
‘I came out only after having my fingers cut off twice.’
It’s a shame because I sewed it right back on. If treatment had been delayed, wouldn’t he have been living with a disability for the rest of his life instead of having his talent blossom?
“haha. “What a life…”
Something hot came to me again.
I cleared my bloodshot eyes and throat for a moment and slowly walked through the store.
The number of talents on display
was as large as thousands of grains of sand on a beach.
But there was no need to worry.
“It’s here.”
A talent I’ve wanted to have for a long time.
“This is unconditional.”
My finger touched the screen without hesitation.
[Would you like to purchase swordsmanship talent (SS)?]
Sword (劍)
I like swords.
I don’t know why, but it’s been like that since I was young.
The simple act of picking up a tree branch that had fallen on the side of the road and swinging it around was so overwhelming and I couldn’t be happier.
Because of my difficult family circumstances, I couldn’t even dream of going to a swordsmanship academy…
[I purchased swordsmanship talent (SS)!]
But now it’s done.
As soon as I saw the word ‘swordsmanship’, I jumped! The sound of drums echoed in my chest.
‘I really have a talent for swordsmanship…!’
SS rank too!
But the surprise didn’t end there.
– Bambam bam!
Messages that rise with the sound of fireworks.
[Congratulations!]
[You have completed your first purchase achievement!]
[Special price for today only! 1+1 event! We will add another product of the same grade as the purchased product!]
“What?!”
Are you giving me another SS level?
It’s not like a product that was released just before its expiration date!
It seems that there are quite a few gods who purchase ‘talent’.
What do you think?
It was such a good thing for me.
“Thank you for me!”
[1+1 purchase completed!]
[Profile has been changed! Would you like to check?]
As the screen changed, a simple profile appeared before my eyes.
[Name: Yu Dam-deok (human)]
[Occupation: Lowest level god]
[Talent: Swordsmanship talent (SS) Martial arts talent (SS)]
It was brilliant.
Not an expression, but literally.
Each letter felt like a jewel.
“Talented in swordsmanship and martial arts. “There is no match as good as this.”
Fighting (務鬪).
It was a talent that basically encompassed all fighting skills.
For example, from modern martial arts such as boxing and Muay Thai Jiu-Jitsu to practical martial arts such as dungeon footwork and monster killing techniques learned by modern hunters.
‘In close combat, these are the basics of the basics, so the synergy with swordsmanship will be tremendous.’
Laughter naturally came out.
Whatever it was, I wanted to quickly test my talent.
But…
as I was looking at the profile, a question arose.
[Name: Yu Damdeok (Human)]
[Occupation: Lowest level god]
“Your occupation is the lowest level god?”
There are many different types of jobs. From general swordsmen and thieves to monster trainers, magic support workers, magic architects, etc.
However, I have never seen anyone who changed their lives to become a god.
‘So does this mean my job is God?’
Perhaps that’s why I was able to apply for a part-time job recruiting gods.
“and. “They say it’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and that’s exactly right.”
It was then.
– RRRRRR.
The phone rang.
[Mrs. Jo Yoon-hee]
I am a mother.
The corners of my mouth turned up even more.
How happy would you be if I told you that I had awakened?
My mother was always upset, saying it was all her fault for her lack of talent.
I answered the phone brighter than ever.
“Oh mom, I have good news….”
– Damdeok. Don’t come to the hospital today. Understand?
What is this when I receive it?
My mother’s voice was unusual.
An inexplicable feeling of anxiety crept up.
“What’s going on?”
– Well, if you don’t want to come, don’t come. Don’t worry mom. First, get yourself together….
I heard someone talking next to me. The surroundings seemed quite bustling.
“Why are you suddenly telling me not to come to the hospital…”
– Hello? Are you Jo Yoon-hee’s guardian?
A young woman’s voice was heard.
Maybe a nurse?
“yes. you’re right.”
– Because the situation is urgent, I will explain briefly. A dungeon has now appeared near the hospital. I kept trying to contact them, but the guardian couldn’t contact me…
I only saw 34 missed calls.
My heart started beating violently.
A dungeon haunting? why?
Dungeons do not usually appear in urban areas.
It was a common belief that it appeared in places where magical energy was concentrated, such as rivers or mountains.
It was such a rare event that if it happened to happen near a city, it was broadcast live on the news all day long.
But a dungeon haunting a hospital…?
Isn’t that the middle of Gangnam in Seoul?
I lost consciousness as my mother’s face flashed before my eyes.
The videos I saw on YouTube the other day were playing one after another in my head.
[Shock! *Fear warning* Terrible things happen when a dungeon appears in the city!]
Cold sweat ran down my back.
– Guardian? A dungeon has been created right in front of you, but fortunately the hospital hasn’t collapsed, so don’t worry. I’m sure the guardians are worried, but I wanted to let you know that visits are not possible until the situation is over….
I could no longer hear the nurse’s voice.
I just kicked down the door and walked out.
* * *
30 minutes by public transportation.
The scene we arrived at was pure chaos.
From police trying to control it, reporters trying to cover it, various YouTubers doing personal broadcasts, and ordinary people flocking in out of curiosity.
A street literally full of people.
It was to the point where I couldn’t move forward.
“Were they all crazy about wanting to die?…”
They said they came here because of the life of their only mother, but is curiosity more important than life?
At first glance, the yellow control line stretching in the distance seemed to be hundreds of meters long.
This means that the scale of the dungeon is that large.
In addition, military units and weapons for killing monsters were deployed throughout the area.
Looking at the 3 large company guild buses alone parked…
– This is a restricted area! I hope everyone will step aside!
Inside the yellow control line, a person who appeared to be a commander shouted with a loudspeaker.
As I narrowed my eyes to take a closer look at him, a strange sensation swept over my entire body.
[ A skill has been created!]
A notification appeared and the world slowly zoomed in.
It was natural for a mark on a military uniform to be expanded in the distance and then released.
That wasn’t all.
Even though it was far away, the voices of the soldiers could be heard vividly.
– hey. Dozens of hunters have already been killed. I heard this dungeon is no joke?
– no. Haven’t you reached level 8 Hunter? How can you struggle like that?
“omg.”
I distracted again and quickly returned to normal.
I exhaled slowly.
Sudden manifestation of A-level skills.
But there was no room for surprise.
‘I need to go to the hospital!’
The hospital where my mother was located was located inside the Line of Control.
I guess I’ll have to tell the person in charge the situation and ask them to let me in.
It was time to rush through the crowd and move forward. A voice was heard again from afar.
– They say this is a labyrinth dungeon. Hunters can’t move because of the complicated maze.
The body stood still.
Wait, it’s a labyrinth…?
– Kwagwagaang!!!
A huge explosion was heard.
A beeping sound echoes in my ears.
The high-rise building in front collapsed in an instant, revealing the entire view that had been hidden behind it.
A building standing majestically amidst the hazy dust.
“This is crazy…”
That was the dungeon I created until early morning today.
