Three Meals of a Reincarnator

The reason was because he wondered how long it would take to train such useless bastards.

"Keep your guard up, or you'll die."

Min Sung managed to utter a few words.

"Yes, Sir!"

While Ho Sung Lee answered loudly and pulled out all of his attack skills, the Legendary Pirate Captain opened his mouth wide.

His eyes turned dark, and an explosive power flowed out from within him.

As the blue Aura of the Pirate Sword turned black, the level of his strength exploded, which Min Sung could sense.

Slash!

The Pirate Sword went through Ho Sung Lee's stomach.

"Ugh!"

Ho Sung Lee spat out thick blood.

Both his pupils and body shook.

Min Sung watched Ho Sung Lee and clenched back on his teeth.

He didn't expect Ho Sung Lee to be so easily brought down by a foolish monster called the Legendary Pirate Captain.

Min Sung sighed and took out his Orichalcum Sword from his item window.

And then…

Min Sung disappeared into thin air.

In the blink of an eye, Min Sung appeared again with his Orichalcum Sword right in front of the Legendary Pirate Captain.

Kaboommmmmm!

Thunder and lightning surrounded the Orichalcum Sword, and the lightning flashed in all directions.

Rip!

The Legendary Pirate Captain was ripped to shreds as if he was put through a grinding machine.

When the monster blew up and dropped its items, Min Sung looked down at Ho Sung Lee.

He wondered if he was dead.

But Ho Sung Lee showed signs of life.

"Seriously?"

Min Sung watched Ho Sung Lee wriggle with discontent.

Ho Sung Lee shook around as if he had epilepsy.

"What's wrong with him?"

Min Sung asked Bowl.

"Oh! He must be turning into Berserker, Master!"

'Oh.'

"Berserker.'

Min Sung nodded and stared at Ho Sung Lee.

Ho Sung Lee's hair turned red and grew long.

His entire body swelled up with muscles.

As soon as he turned into Berserker, Ho Sung Lee took out the sword from his stomach and roared.

"So that's Berserker, huh?"

"Master, no one recognizes Ho Sung when he turns into Berserker."

Min Sung stared at Ho Sung Lee in pity.

Ho Sung Lee, who turned into the Berserker that Bowl described, drooled and stared back at Min Sung.

Min Sung saw Ho Sung Lee wanting to kill him and smirked.

"Roarrrrrrrrr!"

Ho Sung Lee activated his magic power.

"Look at you."

While Min Sung scoffed at him.

[Special effect added due to the long party play.]

[Would you like to check information regarding 'Ho Sung Lee'?]

[Accept/ Reject]

He hadn't seen this system window in a long time.

He had ignored all of the other interface systems, but he thought that maybe this one was worth trying out.

Min Sung accepted.

And then that effect manifested itself.

In front of Min Sung's eyes were half-transparent letters in blue light.

Ho Sung Lee's passive specialty

[Berserker]

In the case of suffering fatal damage, transform into Berserker.

Duration: 8 minutes

Additional Guide!

[Growth pain]

The more pain that is added on, the more experience points can be obtained.

(Can be applied regardless of Berserker status.)

"Roarrrrrrrrr!"

Ho Sung Lee roared like a monster and ran toward Min Sung.

Min Sung had already put his Orichalcum Sword back in his item window, so he seemed bothered.

Ho Sung Lee charged at an explosive speed.

There was definitely a difference.

A huge difference.

The difference between him as a normal fighter and a Berserker was huge.

The only downside was that the Berserker duration was short.

Powwwwwwwww!

Min Sung's fist hit the Berserker's chest.

Ho Sung Lee flew and rolled on the ground as if he was hit by a car.

[Ho Sung Lee's material damage led to additional experience points.]

Ho Sung Lee threw up blood. He got back up and charged at Min Sung once more.

But then…

Min Sung's fist attacks began.

Min Sung's fist hit him all over his body.

And every time he was hit by Min Sung, Ho Sung Lee's face began to loosen up.

[Ho Sung Lee's material damage led to additional experience points.]

[Ho Sung Lee's material damage led to additional experience points.]

[Ho Sung Lee's material damage led to additional experience points.]

[Ho Sung Lee's material damage led to additional experience points.]

Following dozens of hits in a matter of a few seconds, Ho Sung Lee wriggled on the ground.

Ho Sung Lee tried to get up, but Min Sung kicked his head back down.

Powwwwwwwww!

When Bowl saw that, he covered his mouth with his skeleton hands and gasped.

"Arghhhhhh…"

Despite being in the Berserker state, Ho Sung Lee let out a painful groan.

"Not bad. If you get hit, you get experience points."

Min Sung smiled and flicked his finger.

"Get up."

Ho Sung Lee growled at Min Sung while glaring at him, but he was unable to get up.

Min Sung watched Ho Sung Lee and then realized that he wasn't going to stay a Berserker for long.

"Let me hit you some more so you can get more experience points."

Min Sung grabbed Ho Sung Lee by the throat.

He then punched Ho Sung Lee's face over and over.

[Ho Sung Lee's material damage led to additional experience points.]

[Ho Sung Lee's material damage led to additional experience points.]

[Ho Sung Lee's material damage led to additional experience points.]

[Ho Sung Lee's material damage led to…]

…

…

…

Min Sung's fist stopped.

Ho Sung Lee was unconscious on the ground.

"Bowl, will Ho Sung's stamina be back up to normal when he returns from Berserker mode?"

"I'm not sure," Bowl answered in an unconfident voice.

Min Sung looked at Ho Sung Lee in his hands and dropped him.

Ho Sung Lee's body plopped on the ground.

Ho Sung Lee's red hair turned back to brown, and his swollen muscles also reduced in size.

Min Sung rubbed his bloody hands all over Ho Sung Lee's clothes.

***

Blink, blink.

Ho Sung Lee opened his eyes.

"Uh…"

As soon as he opened his eyes, the pain washed over.

"Ugh, what's going on? Why am I in so much pain? Ouch…"

Ho Sung Lee groaned as he recollected his memory.

'What happened?'

The last thing he remembered was being stabbed by the Legendary Pirate Captain.

And then he probably became the Berserker.

He remembered that much.

But why did his body hurt so much?

Ho Sung Lee's face felt heavy.

He touched his face.

That was when he realized his face was seriously swollen.

…?

He wondered why his face was injured when he was stabbed by a sword.

"Are you awake?"

Min Sung's voice could be heard.

As soon as he heard his voice, his body flinched.

'What's happening?'

He felt a sense of fear that he didn't understand.

"Stop sleeping and get up already," Min Sung commanded.

Ho Sung Lee answered, "Yes, Sir!" and sprung up.

"You took a lot of damage, so I'll be hunting the devils on my own from now on."

"Yes, Sir."

"Yes, Master!"

Min Sung took the lead.

"What happened?"

Ho Sung Lee asked Bowl in a quiet voice.

In response, Bowl explained everything that had happened.

And as soon as he heard the explanation, Ho Sung Lee felt a shiver all over his body.

'I got beat up by Min Sung in my Berserker state?'

Gulp-

He felt as if he got surgery while he was put to sleep.

"And?"

Bowl continued.

"Master got something new."

"What?"

Ho Sung Lee asked with a swollen face.

"He can get information about us now."

"Information?"

"Yeah. So that's how he came to know about your Berserker state, and you acquired something this time around."

"Oh, really? What is it?"

"If you take damage, you get experience points. You can obtain it when you're not a Berserker, too."

"…"

"What?"

"So if I get beat to a pulp, I get experience points?"

"Yeah."

Ho Sung Lee grabbed his swollen head with his hand.

"Sigh… Why did it have to be that kind of specialty of all things?"

"Why? It suits you."

"What?"

Ho Sung Lee grumbled while Bowl snickered and followed Min Sung on his shadow board.

"I was wondering why it hurt so much."

Ho Sung Lee showed a sad look on his face.

He then took his swollen face and bruised body and caught up to Min Sung and Bowl.

'Ugh, my whole body hurts.'

'How did he beat me up to put me in this much pain?'

Ho Sung Lee came to the conclusion that Min Sung Kang's ability to hit where it hurt was also a special talent.

Ho Sung Lee didn't care about experience points, he just didn't want to get beat up by Min Sung Kang anymore.

***

The 9th floor of the Black Tower, which the world hunters couldn't get through even with the item, was cleared in one go by Min Sung.

Until now, Ho Sung Lee and Bowl didn't look that nervous, but as soon as they began clearing the two-digit floors, it was a whole another game.

Ho Sung Lee realized the serious threat to his life. He focused that much more on his shielding and Bowl's fiery eyes didn't take a rest for a single second so that he could use his magic power at any moment.

However, unlike Ho Sung Lee and Bowl, Min Sung saw the devils as weak.

The reason for that was because the devil in front of him was trembling.

After a short battle against Min Sung, the devil with dark skin and red eyes went back into the walls.

And a moment later, the ground shook.

It was just a matter of time before he realized that that was the sound of devils running over.

"Wait for my signal," Min Sung instructed.

While Ho Sung Lee nodded and Bowl looked ahead of him.

Min Sung's hand went through the wall.

Crack!

Min Sung's hand that was within the wall grabbed the devil by the neck and pulled it out as if he was pulling out a radish from the ground.
