My Range is One Million

Jaehwang had returned to their HQ and he had more than enough materials to spare. There was plenty for him and the leader who helped him complete their mission.

There were able to hack through their systems but Jaehwang have been caught on the security cameras while he was there taking their documents.

That was a huge advantage for the Daehyun group but, they didn't have to think about that at the moment. Gwanjae would be able to solve it himself.

Mr. Hwang then said, "It's good that we have ourselves on standby if not, things could have gotten terribly wrong."

That information was obvious.

-That evil old man, he probably tried to sabotage you!

-Maybe.

He replied to the spirit, thinking that his reasoning was just enough. He was already lucky enough to even make it out alive without much trouble.

"Granddad, where are they?" Jaehwang asked. He looked a little tired even though he just took a break earlier.

"They're fine but it's just a bit complicated. It's also because I'm currently training your friend as well."

Jaehwang shook his head and replied, "I understand. I'll get back to training as well…"

"You just finished a mission and now you're immediately going back to training?" Gwanjae asked.

"There's something that I realized on this mission. I need to take some time to think."

"Hm. I see."

They gave each other a nod before Jaehwang left the room. He had packed some medicine just in case but he never had the opportunity to use it. He wasn't even tired or stressed after his mission.

What was currently right in front of him was perfect. He looked a little tired at the moment and there was a tiny unnoticeable wound on the leg of his armor. He took a deep breath and murmured, "I thought that was what I really wanted."

If Gwanjae wasn't keeping a close eye on him then maybe he could have done more. He could have completed the assassination like he almost did. They didn't always see eye to eye as Gwanjae was in his 50s and Jaehwang was just in his early twenties. It would be obvious that they would have different opinions sometimes.

Jaehwang went to the training center in the basement of the mansion. It was different than where he would usually practice so took he took his time to adjust before he started training.

-Perfect.

The spirit was also able to finally relax.

-What do you think? Isn't it great for training?

The room was now much more suitable after he rearranged it. All of his training was surely paying off as he had caught up for 11 monsters so far.

-Do you need to rest to refill your energy?

-Not really…

Jaehwang replied. If the spirit had used some of the material he brought with him then her magic could be stronger.

-Well, what are you going to do now?

-First I'll practice my shooting before I work on my level.

-Good. But how much stronger do you think you can get? You've already gotten very strong.

The spirit asked.

-Well, right now it would be useless to think so but I'm sure you'll get stronger too. No need to be impatient.

-I guess so.

The spirit was also waiting to get stronger but she still had a long way to go. They couldn't waste their time rushing and stressing about it.

Jaehwang had been experiencing all kinds of side effects after his level up. The spirit's magic improved but there was still more than she was capable of.

There was also a reason that Jaehwang was continuously aiming to get stronger.

-We may not have enough materials to continue on as we want. We have to really think this through.

-Do you think that something might go wrong?

-Maybe.

-Hm… I guess. We'll just have to be careful then.

The spirit said as they just stood in the middle of the practice room. They weren't sure how much time had already passed by. He just felt dizzy when he suddenly found himself glowing with energy from head to toe.

-It's your inherited archery skills.

Jiijjiijiii…

The energy light lit up the training room and then disappeared. And after that, the Jaehwang's skill status window appeared.

[New skill found.]

[New skill… 'Inherited skill."]

-Inherited skill (Unique skill)

Appointed to: Jeon Jaehwang

Effects

Skill's energy: 0 percent

Jaehwang looked at the status with a confused look. He then asked,

-What's this?

-It's a skill that allows you to gather magic from other standard energies. It was used a long time ago by evil hunters who stole the energy of others.

-So… now… could I do that too?

-Not exactly. That skill is basically nothing but just an imitation of the real one. You might need a little help with it first. With that skill, people will admire you or fear you every time they hear your name.

-Admire? Fear?

-Yes. Your strength would increase whenever they think of you.

-Hm… I think I understand.

Jaehwang nodded. He didn't completely understand it but he trusted what the spirit had just said.

-Okay then, shall we continue our practice?

-Wait, before that…

-What is it?

-Are you going to test out the magic you got a while ago?

-Has it been a year already? Okay, I guess I'll try it out. Time has gone by so fast.

-Great. I'll get ready.

-Should I use it now? Your magic had already reached its limit.

-At that time when you explained something about my arrows, there was something that I realized. I think I know what I need to practice today.

-Okay. How long do you think it'll take to master?

-I don't know.

Jaehwang replied. He wanted to finish up first and then see how things go.

-I would tell you if I could but I can't… But I can promise you something. No matter how long it takes, it won't be more than 7 days. If it's any more than that then you would be in danger.

She actually didn't think that Jaehwang would be able to last up to seven days but after everything that they've been through she soon realized that he could. Jaehwang had the fortitude of a monster.

-Phew… Well then, I'll get ready. You don't think I could go in like this, do you? I have to practice as much as possible too.

-Okay.

Jaehwang replied. The spirit then went back inside of him.

-I have a few things that I have to master. This is going to be very surprising.

***

Ten days have passed.

"Ah…"Jaehwang got out of bed and stood up while stretching. The atmosphere felt lonely. He felt tired as soon as he just woke up. He reached over to the table for a bottle of water as his mouth felt very dry. "Cough… Cough…"

He felt a hand patting his back as he coughed.

"You idiot! Didn't I say seven days?!"

"Huh… There was nothing I could do…"

"So you're going to endure it for ten years? You're unbelievable. You have to be careful… You're crazy! What were you thinking?!"

"There's nothing to worry about, what are you saying… I'm… fine" He could even barely talk with all that coughing.

"Is the country aware of this?"

"Of course." Jaehwang looked over and saw a lady standing on the other side of the room.

She looked to be in her early twenties. She had a pretty innocent appearance with her pale white skin, a slim figure, and a long beautiful dark hair that reached down to her waist.

"How is the practice going?" He asked.

"Well first… Are you sure you don't see any difference?"

"What do you mean?"

"Hm." The spirit then walked towards Jaehwang.

"Do you know how much work and pain it took to create this body?"

"Oh, good job. It's pretty."

"What! Pretty? That's all??"

"Uhh.." Jaehwang replied nervously. She was very beautiful. She looked like a lady from a movie.

"Forget it." The spirit said.

Jaehwang then went and changed out of his training clothes and left the room.

-Where are you going?

-To eat.

Even though he didn't pack any food with him there was something there to eat every day.

The status window then appeared and explained his new skills along with his other skills as well. He went up just one rank but he was not closer to the 7th rank.

-Now I think I could fight against Gwanjae and win.

-Really, you've improved that much?

-I think so.

Jaehwang replied.

She knew that Gwanjae was very strong. Even years ago when Gwanjae was younger, he was considered as one of the most powerful hunters around. No one could compare themselves to him.

Stronger, The end.
