It is completely random luck!!!
Rating: Uncommon
Restrictions: None
Effect: The selected skill will be enhanced when used . ]
It was a skill book Hyeonu had never heard of before . Yet as the description stipulated, one effect was certain .
‘It will unconditionally get better . ’
He might be dissatisfied with the fact that it was random, but it couldn’t have a bad effect since the name of the book mentioned ‘enhancement’ . Contrary to his thoughts, Hyeonu’s hands were shaking . The choice disorder once again came back to Hyeonu .
‘What skill should I use it on? Magic Power Explosion? Crescent Moon Cut? Body Strengthening? Fighting Energy Emission?’
There were too many skills . He was at a loss like he was holding a phone that had a food takeaway app open . It was hard to pick one of them . Most of Hyeonu’s skills had a very good performance .
‘I don’t know!’
In the end, Hyeonu got confused, and he chose to escape from reality . He logged out . It wasn’t important for Hyeonu to choose a skill right now . There was only one thing he had to focus on .
‘Commemorative chicken for getting first place in the arena . ’
Chicken was the ultimate late-night snack . This was the only truth .
“Congratulations,” Yeongchan stated while unwrapping the freshly delivered chicken . All his focus was already on the chicken though .
“Thank you,” Hyeonu said, but he also felt the same way . His eyes and hands were focused on the chicken . Hyeonu looked like a craftsman as he controlled his strength so that the radish soup that came with the chicken didn’t spill out . Once all the side dishes were set up, the two of them raised their favorite parts of the fried chicken .
One piece, two pieces . . .

It wasn’t until the two chicken boxes ended up on the floor that the conversation resumed .
“What was your reward?” Yeongchan asked .
Hyeonu sucked on his fingers and then wiped his hands with a wet wipe . “Just a title and a skill book . ”
“What are the effects?”
“My stats will increase by 50% against players,” Hyeonu replied calmly .
“50%? Really? Is this real? It isn’t a lie?” Yeongchan was shocked to hear Hyeonu’s answer . It felt like the chicken he had eaten so far was flowing back up to his esophagus from his stomach . He couldn’t help feeling sick . It was a 50% increase to all stats .
Conditions might be attached, but this title was too comprehensive . The end game of every RPG game was content between players . In other words, it was PvP and the siege . With that in mind, Hyeonu’s title was a hoax and a cheat .
“What about the skill book?”
“Just . . . It isn’t a big deal . It is just a random skill book . ” Hyeonu hid the identity of the skill book, but he wasn’t really lying . It was a random skill book in that the effect was random . The only difference was that the effect was enhancement rather than skill creation .
“Really? Why is the skill book like that? The title was amazing . ” Yeongchan frowned after hearing Hyeonu’s words . He couldn’t get rid of the idea that the compensation was worse than he had expected . The title was very good, but it was just one thing . The rewards seemed lacking especially since the quest had required the player to reach first place in the arena while being undefeated, which was a ridiculous feat that started from a low level .
“You still don’t know? Perhaps I will hit the jackpot,” Hyeonu said casually while sipping on a beer .
“Should I give him a gift?”
“Who knows . . . Is there anything we can give him?” Jamie smiled at the question of the man in front of him, Ket .
“Then what are you going to give?
“Let’s see . . . ” Jamie replied vaguely .
Ket frowned as he started to boast, “I am going to present a car as a gift—a sports car . Don’t you think of the Porsche 911 when asked about the number one sports car?”
Jamie replied to such a Ket, “Since we have an exclusive contract with Porsche, he can’t be given another brand of car, right?”
Jamie continued smiling at the speechless Ket .
“I have also prepared a gift . It is something Alley Leader wanted quite a lot . One of his goals has been achieved . ” Jamie ignored Ket’s increasingly distorted expression and kept saying what he wanted to say .
‘Goal? What can Nike achieve?’ Ket’s face was filled with doubts .
What could Nike do for Alley Leader? It certainly wasn’t anything in the game or some sort of financial help . Alley Leader wouldn’t want such things . Just then, a series of scenes appeared in Ket’s mind . Alley Leader would receive a bigger welcome on a larger stage . It was applause in reality, not through a stream .
“Goal? Perhaps . . . Is Nike thinking of creating a club?”

“It isn’t about creating . Quency’s conditions are too tricky . We are in the process of acquiring or working together . ”
Ket gave a smile that looked good to anyone, as if his expression just a moment ago was acting . “Let’s talk about this again when the club is decided . ”
Hyeonu picked up his smartphone that was vibrating noisily on his desk . He saw the name on the LCD screen and couldn’t help saying, “Kale?”
In the process of picking up the smartphone, he touched the wrong thing and picked up the call .
-Mister Gang, congratulations on dominating the arena .
“Yes, I got back one of my old things . ”
-Yes but . . . I think you can be a bit happier on a day like this .
Kale had wondered why Hyeonu’s voice wasn’t as excited as he thought . Then he nodded at Hyeonu’s words .
‘Indeed, this is right . He was once the pinnacle of Arena after all . . . ’
-Still, isn’t there a big difference between the Arena at that time and the current Arena? I think it is impossible to compare both the quantity and quality of players .
“Does that mean I have to play like a carefree person for a few days? I still have things to be reclaimed . I have a lot left to do . ”
‘His mental state is greater than his balance . ’ Kale thought that Alley Leader was special .
He thought the Buddha of the East would be Alley Leader . A normal young person of Alley Leader’s age would want to spend money if they had money and show off if they had something to show off . Yet Alley Leader had no desires like those . It was unknown why he hid his face, but there was no need to do so now . Who could stop him?
Nike could block the face reveal in reality, but Alley Leader would still be Alley Leader in Arena .
-Right, congratulations . Finally, the end is seen . I’ve found a club for you to join .
‘It isn’t creating a club . ’ Hyeonu was disappointed by Kale’s words . He was disappointed because he thought it would be easier to form a team than to join an existing club .
“Is that so? Where is it?” Hyeonu asked with disappointment .
-It is a place you know well—Big Stars . It’s called Crescent Moon now? I decided to go there . It is very easy to approach because it has been noisy lately . The new owner is also happy for us to invest .
Hyeonu hadn’t been interested in Big Stars since their proxy knight scandal . He thought it would be useless to pay attention to it . Rather, it would be better to use this time to exercise .
“Is that so? What about the existing players?”
-Most of the players have already given up on being professional gamers . It is said that the owner of the team will manage them separately and develop them into streamers . This made it more convenient .
‘Really? It is good news . ’ Hyeonu’s smile widened as Kale’s explanation continued .

If this was the case, there was no reason to be disappointed . The current Crescent Moon was no different from a new club . He didn’t need to play with existing professional gamers who were filled with useless pride .
“In that case, Crescent Moon will have to give up on this season . Then you just need to recruit players . I also have to expand my influence in earnest . Please endure it a bit more, Kale . I’m sorry . ”
-This is our job . You don’t have to feel sorry . Rather, I’m thankful . You gave me such a good investment opportunity .
Hyeonu was about to hang up when he remembered the video of the Kowloon Guild he had seen a while ago .
He said to Kale, “Right, I didn’t see Adidas in the Kowloon Guild’s video . Perhaps the friction between Cheong Chen and Liu Shei is quite severe . If Nike approaches quickly, there might be good results . If you mention my name, he probably won’t refuse mercilessly . ”
-Is that so? Then I will ask once .
Hyeonu had already decided on the skill before even accessing Arena . Then he started to worry again once he thought about using the reinforcement book .
“Yes, I have to do it . You only have one hit at life, Hyeonu,” he muttered to himself while holding an old book .
Tang-E stared at Hyeonu like Hyeonu was pathetic . “This is ridiculous . How many minutes have you been doing this? Master dude isn’t a man . Why are you shaking so much?”
Hyeonu didn’t respond to Tang-E’s attack at all . He didn’t turn his head or answer back . Hyeonu’s mind was solely concentrated on the Book of Random Luck Enhancement and the skill window .
[Do you want to use the Book of Random Luck Enhancement?]
“I will use it . ”
Hyeonu tore the book and finally used it .
[Tell us the name of the skill you want to enhance . ]
“Mysterious Sky Demonic Art . ”
Hyeonu’s chosen skill was the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art . It was the best skill he had . Hyeonu had many other unique skills, but he determined that enhancing the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art was the most efficient .
[Mysterious Sky Demonic Art]
[A famous martial art in the East Continent .

It was an onion-like skill where a new skill would be generated once the skill proficiency increased .
‘It is a good thing to be able to increase the proficiency . ’
The worst-case scenario Hyeonu thought of was that he would barely increase the proficiency by one star . Yet this was still a huge gain . Once the proficiency reached five stars, a new skill would appear . Then his power would rise . It was a gain, an unconditional gain .
[You have succeeded in enhancing the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art . ]
“What is this . . . ?”
The enhancement went in an entirely unexpected direction .
