Chapter 24: Bubble Skill
"Eh? Dad?" Hyunjoo put the mobile near her ear and talked, "Hello?" She heard a reply, "Hyunjoo, is that you?" She almost screamed in a surprise, "Dad?"
Sangmin then said, "Give the phone to your big sister." As she handed over the phone to Hyori, who was also caught off guard, Hyori put the mobile near her ear before checking the number and first, confirm that it indeed was their father's since no one can clone the numbers of Texlor, the leading telecom company in Eastern Continent. After talking for a while, she handed the mobile to Williard and apologized slowly, "I'm sorry."
Williard sighed while shaking his head, opened the door and the top of the car, so that, the other two can stand or sit comfortably. As Hyori sat in the front while the twins sat in back seats, Williard started to drive.
5 minutes later, suddenly Hyori's mobile rang and as she saw it's from an unknown number, she carefully picked up the call. The other person spoke, "Hello, am I talking to Ms. Lee Hyori?" "yes, who are you?" "
This is Ryu Minsu, a police officer from the Federation police department. Earlier we got a complaint from you about the stalking case." She hurriedly apologized to them and told them it's a misunderstanding on her part and then glanced at Williard, who was glaring at her and apologized to him again, "sorry about that. But then, it's partly your fault that I misunderstood…" She stopped when suddenly the music began to play in the car and Williard turned towards her, "I'm sorry but I'm not in a mood to listen to your complaints. I've got a lot of work to do in the morning."
He picked the short remote controller and gave it to the twins who are sitting in the back, "you girls enjoy the music you love and let me concentrate on driving. And also keep the seat belts tight. I'm increasing the speed as well as closing the top." Forty minutes later, the car slowly entered the Apartment complex gate as he scanned his ID.
After dropping the girls, Williard made his made towards C-block cellar, where the garage is. Looking at the car behind, Hyori mumbled, "I really don't like this Westerner."
After coming to his apartment, Williard collapsed on the bed, right away, waking up at 8 o'clock. After eating breakfast, he stepped inside the capsule and logged into the game.
"Welcome to War Online"
As the space background faded out and replaced with familiar rocks, Williard exited the so-called safe spot and saw Remia, who leveled up to 120, was sitting on a rock, which is near the spot. As soon as she saw him, she greeted him politely, in return, he lightly apologized, "sorry about that. I lost track of time. You must have been waiting for 6 hours straight."
Remia replied, "My plus point is that I have a lot of patience. Moreover, a guard shouldn't complain. But I have to remind you that 6 hours have already been passed by. I can only work for 34 more hours today. "Williard nodded, "Yeah, I know. Let's hurry up and start hunting in the next zone."
Just when they were to move, Williard remembered something and saw Aster was online. He voice-messaged him, "report me the progress." Aster replied, "Good morning, young master. I apologize that I wasn't able to accompany you yesterday evening, even though it's a bodyguard's duty to protect their master at all times. Thank goodness. I was just about to go offline and you've messaged me. Anyway, I just completed your task. I apologize that it took too much time to complete it. The Imperial guild started making trouble for us."
After reading it, Williard sent another message, "it's fine. I already expected it. What about the other task? Did you manage to poach the members?" Aster replied with a message, "Yes, soon, Imperial Guild will collapse but it requires the Young master to reveal himself. Unless the first ranked name isn't revealed, our words will have no credibility."
Williard then sent, "it's not the time yet. Wait for two more days until the Server announcement. Until then, tell the boys that they are free to do whatever they want, except a few. Select 10 from the group that you think is the best and have more loyalty than fear. They will do the hunting with Remia."
After instructing further orders, Williard started to move from there but suddenly stopped again after remembering it's been 24 hours in-game since he logged out. "Remia, let's go and kill that crocodile, again." Since the Heroic bosses in the wild have 24 hours cooldown, Kaiser was resurrected again.
Unlike last time, Williard participated actively participated since he believed he was strong now, although his attack might pale in comparison with the top players who have high attacks. "Forget about the light armor, what I need the most is a gold grade bow. If only I had that epic bow… it's fine. I don't have any enmity with them, to snatch the bow."
After clearing out the White Tigers around the lake, Williard once again used the Ice Arrow to freeze 40m of the surface of the center of the lake, which disturbed its sleep.
After luring it out to the shore, Remia used Provoke and started attacking it. Meanwhile, Williard stood aside at 35 m range and aimed the bow at the Giant Crocodile and shot the fire arrow, which is at level 4. As it struck the boss, damage around 5123 appeared on its head, followed by 662, 663,662, etc… for ten seconds because of the burning effect. "Good, since the boss has 5000 defense. With level 4 fire arrow, my attack damage is around 9200-9300, and with 18.5 % Pierce, for every 2 seconds, I can do around 5K damage to it. So, in ten seconds, the damage I can do is around 31K. So, it's nearly 3K DPS, huh? I guess we can finish this boss easily in one hour.
40 minutes later,
"Kaiser is dead. You gained 3,085,124 EXP."
"Congratulations, you leveled up. You reached level 95."
"Congratulations, you leveled up. You reached level 96."
"Congratulations, you leveled up. You reached level 97."
As he checked his EXP bar, it showed, "884,214/950,600"
"Cool. It finished rather quickly. It seemed like Remia's attack speed also increased considerably than yesterday. Hmm, let's see the drops."
Seeing the drops, he once again sighed, "Damn, what a stroke of bad luck. Neither bow nor even useful gold grade equipment. Only one piece of equipment is dropped, and that too, a heavy armor. Oh, there's a skill book. Let's see if this is anything good."
Bubble

If it was anyone else, they would have cursed out what the s*** is this skill but Williard was overjoyed instead. "Yes, now this is the skill I'm looking forward to getting. To get such skill, traveling back to the past, am I getting a protagonist halo or something? For now, it's useless since we can't get drown but after the first update, this skill will be a tremendous skill, which will be helpful to me. After all, with this, I can get into any depths of the Ocean, where there are treasures, lost cities, underwater NPC towns, hehehe..."
Upon learning it immediately, he looked at the Skill panel.
