I Never Run Out of Mana Chapter 64
Previous Chapter|Index|Next Chapter
64. Enemy? Ally?
Hot air blew, matching the desert like theme of the dungeon.
Meteor Call and Iceberg no longer had cooldowns.
The floor of the dungeon was covered in flames.
If there was one thing, I was kind of disappointed with what happens when I used both skills together.
When both skills met, they cancelled each other out entirely.
It dealt no damage.
But that didn’t really matter.
As long as I continued to cast one of the two skills repeatedly, all monsters would be completely wiped out without any traces left.
The clear time of my hunting was fast enough as it was, but now it became incomparably faster.
I could pretty much clear the dungeon in the time it takes me to run to the end of it.
This clear speed could not be reached even with a 10 man party.
I loved this growth speed, but it worried me that the association would catch on again.
Without any time between each run, they would become suspicious of this party.
The solution I came up with was to purchase a ton of IDs.
I categorized each ID by class and level, dividing it into 4 different groups.
Each time I ran the dungeon, I swapped these four groups around.
With this, they would not become suspicious from just the data alone.
‘Guess I studied hard to come up with great schemes like this.’
Two days ago.
I went to the level 13 succubus dungeon to meet up with Jong Ho.
This was where I met him in the first place.
The level 13 portal that exploded then had become a dungeon, a treasure trove that filled the bellies of the Awakened.
Back then, it took 30 minutes borrowing Jong Ho’s car to get here from the restaurant.
It was an unlit hiking trail before.
However, now the area had restaurants and stores.
Parking lots were a given, and they even had a specific zone for the warp gates.
“Wow. It used to be just a hiking trail with nothing of note… but it developed like this.”
The surrounding area had changed to the point where I couldn’t even recognize it anymore.
Jong Ho and his party group were walking out after clearing the dungeon.
Including Jong Ho, the party consisted of 6 members.
Out of them all, it couldn’t be helped that Jong Ho’s weapons and armor were sticking out like a sore thumb.
In each hand was a Banwol Jincheon, as well as an emerald Lizardman’s Gauntlet that covered his wrist.
Ah. The gauntlet was a gift to him in repayment for all the gauntlets he helped me sell each weekend.
I already had obtained a gauntlet that gave me 20% magic resistance.
That’s why I gave him the one I was wearing before, which gave 18%.
True to his character, he did not put it on until I said I was ‘lending’ him the gauntlet.
Looking from the outside, he looked like a tanker that was running the dungeon to help the other members level up.
I called Jong Ho, who was busy selling the loot after the hunt.
“Hyung!”
“Yo! Bro.”
“Armor suits you a lot better than your regular clothes.”
“Do you have to laugh while saying that?”
“I can’t cry though. Do you go on dinner dates while dressed like this?”
“Can’t help but laugh thanks to you.”
I went towards Jong Ho, greeting all of his party members that hunted with him.
“Hello. I’m Jong Ho hyung’s dongsaeng.” 1
“Nice to meet you.”
“I heard many things about you. My name is Hee Park.”
While I was greeting everyone, a man I was familiar with came into view.
A man in his mid 40s.
He was looking at me, with the faintest of smiles on his face.
A man who seemed too old to be running a level 13 dungeon.
Most people become Awakened before they hit their 20s.
Most people gathered here were in their early to mid 20s.
‘Did he Awaken late?’
Well, there are cases like hyung who was doing managerial work until Awakening late.
This wasn’t about when he was Awakened, or what his appearance was like.
It was because I felt like I saw him somewhere before.
‘Where did I see him before….?’
Jong Ho finished dividing up the loot, and was ready to leave.
Saying farewells to the party members, we distanced ourselves from the group.
‘Silent’
I wasn’t sure what was happening, so I casted a spell that prevented us from behind overheard.
“Hyung. Who is that man in his 40s?”
“Ah, someone I’ve been hunting with for a week. Why?”
“I have a feeling that I’ve seen him somewhere before…”
“He said he used to work for the association. You sure you’re not confusing him with someone who looks similar?”
“No. It’s definitely someone I know. I’m sure of it.”
“No way. It doesn’t look like he knows you.”
“…..”
Wait, Ho Jin?
That was when I remembered his name and face.
Department head of the Awakened special control unit, Kim Ho Jin.
I was sure of it.
He was the one who brought all the association hunters, as well the as cleric ranker to wait for me.
No. He was trying to catch me.
‘What is this. Are they hiding around here?’
My head was filled with possibilities.
A member of the association was clearing a dungeon.
And since he was able to go in and out of the dungeon as he wished, it meant he was an Awakened.
‘An Awakened that works at the association? That’s something mothers would be bragging about to others about her son.’
It was someone I could not understand.
“You said he used to work at the association?”
“Yes. He didn’t go into detail about it, but he said he quit due to a quarrel with his boss.”
“Hyung. Remember how I told you that I wasn’t able to hunt for some time thanks to all those hunters from the association showing up?”
“Yeah, that’s when your fake ID got suspended, right?”
“Yes. The man who is responsible for that is Kim Ho Jin.”
“What?”
“I’m not sure either on why he’s here right now. It could be that he approached you on purpose because you have a connection with me, or it was a coincidence while he was trying to live the life of an Awakened after quitting the association.”
“What, seriously. Just what is happening?”
“I think he also recognized my face.”
“Of course. Just by looking up your ID, your face would come up.”
“Yes. But back then, I was stealthed, so there is no way he can recognize me. I think I’m just paranoid, thinking that he recognized me.”
“What should we do? Should we change the party members?”
“No. If he left the association completely, he should have nothing to do with me, but if he didn’t, then doing so would only make him more suspicious. Just hunt with him like you usually do.”
“After that?”
“Just hunt as much as you can.”
“What?”
“Until I find out his identity and what’s really going on, please act normally as you usually do.”
“How will you find out? How can you reveal his agenda?”
“I can stealth. Even if it slows down my hunting, I need to find out.”
“Alright. For now, I get it. Fate really is fickle.”
“If he really did leave the association…..”
****
Leaving the conference room, Kim Ho Jin was cursing and swearing all sorts of profanities while heading to his office.
This act of corruption by his superior happened right before his eyes.
He couldn’t just stand there and watch the president lead the country down a path of ruin.
Those who worked with him gazed at Ho Jin.
However, he was quietly packing up his belongings in silence.
“Greedily taking tax money from the country. But if you are too busy only caring about your life, how can this country run properly!”
27 years ago. He had Awakened at the age of 18, just like Min-cheol did.
However, instead of wanting to live a cozy life, he decided to become a member of the association.
This was before the radical faction showed, and a time of recovery after the attacks of the portal explosions occurring all over the place.
You could say that mankind was finally stabilizing towards peace after the attacks from the monsters paused.
On the other side of the coin though, the Awakened began causing trouble all over the place, to the point where they could not be handled.
It was because there was no laws clearly set for Awakened, as well as a way to enforce those rules.
This was why he thought he needed to join the association.
It didn’t take him long for him to pack, almost as if confirming that those 20 years were worth nothing.
Half of his entire life was spent dedicated to the association.
But he let go of his title without any hesitation.
The only thing he could do now was to grow stronger.
It was late, far too late for him to trying growing strong enough to fight against the radical faction.
But he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
He couldn’t just watch his country and humanity as whole be slowly destroyed from the inside out any further.
Before going out on his first day of hunting, an idea that had come to him hundreds of times over came again.
Telling this juicy story to those crocodiles in the swamp, the reporters of the press.
He wanted to tell the truth.
To the entire world.
But, for someone who has been in the association for 20 years, there was no way they weren’t aware of all the dirty work they do behind the scenes.
He knew that whoever they put on him for surveillance would get rid of him the moment he did anything rash.
If he was the only one who’d suffer, it wouldn’t matter.
If that was the case, he could accept the consequences of doing so.
However, thinking about his wife and daughter, he couldn’t bring himself to do so.
“I’m just the same as them, looking out for my life… How pathetic of me…..”
And so a week had passed hunting.
In between his association work, he leveled whenever he could, reaching level 85.
Well, for someone who has been Awakened for 27 years, he was a very low level.
He was hunting at the level 13 dungeon that was appropriate for his level, forming up a party.
His hunting for the day was nearly finished, and that’s when it happened.
“Hyung!”
“Yo. Bro.”
He couldn’t believe his eyes.
It was Kim Min-cheol.
The person who, within two months of being Awakened, clearing dungeons of great difficulty and level by himself, had appeared before him just like that.
It appeared as though he was friendly with Jong Ho, who had first approached him to form a party together.
He couldn’t help but smile.
‘A man of that caliber….. He might be able to change the world.’
Of course, he didn’t know much about him.
He could be part of the radical faction.
But it felt as though he was the only hope left he could bet on.
‘Who are you, Kim Min-cheol.’
****
‘Mass Stealth Jutsu’
Pausing my regular hunting routine, I began to spy on Kim Ho Jin.
I already had learned of his address by following him back on the day we met at the level 13 dungeon.
If I used Silent and Mass Stealth Jutsu, I should be able to get the information I need without being exposed by anyone.
“Where is the entrance to the girls’ onsen… just kidding. I think it was the 3rd floor of this apartment.”
-click
I finally caught him, just as he was about to leave for work.
I was going to watch him for a while, but if he headed for the association right now, that would mean that he approached Jong Ho and me on purpose.
As Ho Jin was putting on his shoes, his spouse spoke.
“Whew. You are old now. You should just rest at home.”
“I’m a little restless, you know.”
“Even after marriage, I don’t see you staying at home even once. Well, do take care. Keep your promise to stay here at least on the weekends! Jeong-yeon, you should go say bye to papa, right?”
“Daddy. Bye.”
“Haha. Alright. I’ll be heading out now, honey.”
‘Hmm…. Did he really leave the association?’
The reason why I was interested in him was for the information he possessed.
Jong Ho was very knowledgeable in monsters, hunting, dungeons, and the loot dropped.
Unlike him, Kim Ho Jin had stayed in the association for a long period of time.
If I was able to obtain information regarding the radical faction and the government, it would be like obtaining a thousand units for reinforcement.
That was a good reason to keep him under surveillance for a bit longer.
‘Kim Ho Jin, who are you?’

Here is Chapter 63 everyone!
I Never Run Out of Mana Chapter 63
Previous Chapter|Index|Next Chapter
63. Age of Chaos
It’s been a week since the level 29 portal exploded.
After that incident, a level 28 portal and a level 29 portal exploded in a row.
This strange incident was occurring only in Korea, and thus all eyes of the world were on Korea.
All the areas where the portals were exploding were in the abyss of the sea.
Using the epicenter of the earthquakes caused by the portal explosions, they could trace the general location of the portal. However, finding the exact location still proved to be difficult.
Currently, the International Awakened Organization had made plans to hire professionals to assist in the investigation efforts.
40 years ago when the monsters first appeared to the present time, many nations fell to the monsters.
Most countries did not last the first two years, disappearing into the chapters of history.
Currently, only 80 countries remained, and most of them were in the International Awakened Organization.
The organization was able to do its job starting 12 years ago when the portal explosions stopped at the level 28 dungeon.
The goal of the organization was to research on the portals and monsters, and to prevent further damage against the monsters that have taken over those fallen nations.
They also used the bloodstones and item drops obtained from the monsters to convert them into a source of energy.
The Portal Erasure Test project was rushed into action by the organization, as each of the nations contributed.
In a week, the members deployed from the organization would be arriving here.
They’ll probably form investigation teams and start searching for the reason of the explosions.
If a situation like this occurs, all the nations would not hesitate on using all their resources to help out, as the situation could go out of control and turn into a massive crisis that could affect them as well.
At the same time.
President of the Awakened association Choi Man Seo called all the department heads.
It wasn’t to provide assistance to the organization, but avoid taking the blame for the incident.
The reason was the following.
Each nation had their own radical faction that disagreed with the way the government ran the nation, dreaming about unrealistic ideals instead.
However, there wasn’t such a deeply rooted radical faction as the one in Korea.
The world suspected that it only came to be like this because of how corrupt the government in Korea really was.
After the Central Plant Center exploded, many terrorist attacks followed, but none caused any serious damage.
Without treating the infection and thinking that it’ll just heal on its own, many years had passed.
If the radical forces are to blame for these explosions due to them stepping up their game and they are not stopped, it was obvious that Korea would be expelled from the International Awakened Organization.
Since this group was a threat against humanity, the nation of Korea that harbored them would be completely cut off and isolated, rotting away until its complete disappearance.
And if the radical faction still was a threat against the world, brute force would be used to destroy this small little country.
The president of the association Choi Man Seo spoke.
“I’m sure everyone is already aware of this, but within a week, members from the IAO will arrive.”
“…..”
“….”
“But here is the thing. If they find out the real reason for the portals exploding, what do you think would happen? Oi. Department head Kim Ho Jin. Been looking gloomy for a while. What do you think?”
The president as well as subordinates already knew that the culprit was the radical faction.
However, instead of discussing it with the government, they were too busy keeping it all hushed up.
To his question, Ho Jin replied with the same disapproving frown as he kept his stance on the matter.
“If the tooth is rotten, you can still pull it out!”
“As expected. If people like you were born earlier in the past, you would’ve left quite the name. But you won’t live for long. There’s even an ad about this. How when everyone says yes, you are the type of person to say no.”
“President, you already know how big their group is! If you say nothing and try to keep this silent, this will blow up into something huge…”
“Enough. Find the portal location within a week. And write it on the report that you’ve taken down some of the portals around the area. Understood? Right now, the citizens of Korea are praising the association that contained 3 portal explosions. Don’t go ruining it for us. Do you think I’m the only one covering my eyes and ears to live?”
“Then what will you do when the radical faction comes to attack us? 6 years ago after the attack on the Center Plant Center, the attacks from the radical faction continued, and it wasn’t just a few cases! At this rate, we will be kicked from the International Awakened Association without a doubt, and it’ll only be a matter of time before this nation is destroyed not by monsters, but by war.”
“Hold up. Did I hear that correctly? Radical what? Radical Faction? Does anyone here know what is this Radical Faction he’s talking about?”
To the president’s inquiry, everyone rolled their eyes about and remained silent.
Jumping up from his seat, he charged Choi Man Seo as if to kill him.
“Do what you want! You disgusting figurehead!” 2
“Oh ho! Take this bastard away immediately! Do you think that mighty radical faction only exists in this small little country like Korea? Stop acting out when you don’t know anything at all. What are you doing! Take him away now.”
As the Awakened guards were dragging Ho Jin out of the conference room, he did not stop cursing out at the president.
Because he knew that this situation with the radical faction only came to be due to people like the president taking care of situations like this.
“And you call yourself the president of the association! It wouldn’t be a stretch to call you a subordinate of the radical faction! I’ll get you for this, and you’ll pay!”
“Well aren’t you out of your mind. Really giving out your resignation statement spectacularly. Get rid of his desk immediately, and have people supervise him so that he can’t even as much as squeak! Everyone, you understand what I said today, right? Let’s stop for today. One week. Forget about going home and focus on getting this resolved quickly.”
“Yes….”
Department head Kim Ho Jin’s furious yelling could be still heard clearly, despite being too far to be loud anymore.
“All of you in there are the same, you bastards!”
****
“Dark Lady….”
“Yes, master.”
“So you did it. I thank you for your loyalty.”
“You humble me, master.”
“I asked Ghost to find a portal that’s level 30 or above. Once the portal is found, you can proceed without any issues, right?”
“Of course.”
“Good…. Thanks to you, that day can come a little bit quicker.”
Radical faction’s boss. Master Zekill.
He commanded all three of the leaders to gather at Incheon, where Dark Lady ran the city in order to formulate a plan for the mass chaos would be ensuing soon.
He planned to have the currently government collapse, and did not hesitate on his goal to raise a new rule.
The strong obtains power and political control, and rule over the weak.
His first goal was to blow up the portals, because that would cause the expulsion from the International Awakened Organization.
If that happened, no one would care if this country is taken over or devoured by them.
A complete isolation from the organization.
After that, it would be time to take over the entire country and use it as a base of operations to increase the strength of the radical faction around the world.
“Joker.”
“Yes, master.”
“Lend Dark Lady your strength.”
“Yes… master.”
Joker was the best of the three leaders before, but now having lost his spot, was seething in rage.
It was fact that he wasn’t getting recognized by the boss. And now he had to role of being a support for someone who was weaker than him.
Looking downwards, he briefly paused to calm down.
However, it was interrupted by Zekill speaking.
“I heard of a strange rumor.”
“What would that be…”
“I heard that Park Hyun, one of our financial backers, died due to a single Awakened. Is that true Joker?”
“Yes. That is the truth. He had quite the ability, so I tried to capture him, but since he fiercely declined the offer, I already took care of him.”
“Is that so.”
Joker lied to hide the fact that he was trying to use Min-Cheol, who had infinite mana, for his own use.
He could reveal Min-Cheol’s existence to him right now, but since Dark Lady had succeeded in the portal explosion, it would look disloyal if it was found out that Joker had tried to do this on his own.
There was nothing to gain from speaking up.
He swallowed his saliva as Zekill continued.
“One month. Within one month, everything will change. We’ll be in the center of it all. For that day…”
“Yes, master.”
“Yes, master.”
Finishing, Zekill hid from view once more.
After that, Dark Lady went towards Joker and started to taunt him.
“You heard what the master said, right?”
“…..”
“I think I need more mana. Send 200 magicians to me, Joker.”
“You little bitch, running your mouth without any concern. Dark Lady….”
“Pfft. So, it seems the rage of a male lion chased out from his own pack isn’t anything to be afraid of.”
“… I’ll follow his orders. But soon, you’ll regret saying those words.”
“I’ll be looking forward to it, Joker Gen-er-al~.”
Leaving the room, Joker began to quietly murmur to himself.
“Seems… Seems my only option is that boy.”
****
“Whew. Finally all that tedious hunting is over. But why is my ear so itchy? Is someone talking about me?”
For me who had been only focusing on growing stronger physically, something more important happened.
It was selling the Lizardman’s Gauntlet each weekend.
It wasn’t for the money.
For a magician class, more important that their physical prowess was the skill level of their skills as well as their MP amount.
This wonderful, amazing essence maker was enough to get rid of the stress of Awakening the skills I possessed.
It was too wasteful to Awaken a C ranking shield?
It was true that I used to think like that up until recently.
It only took a few hours for me to realize that it was incorrect.
It was a week after selling the 5 gauntlets.
The amount of essences I had never fell below 5.
Other than the Frost Orb that I got at level 1, all shields, buffs, and debuffs were already Awakened.
The moment they hit level 100, I immediately Awakened them using the essences.
No matter how low the skill ranking was, by Awakening them and leveling them enough, both the destructive capability as well as the usefulness was ridiculous.
For example, I could use Lightning Spray again.
It really shined on low level dungeons, but as dungeon levels increased, it didn’t do much. However, after Awakening it, it succeeded on causing small amounts of damage to even level 28 dungeon monsters.
And the monster was a lizardman, who boasted almost unfair amounts of physical and magical resistances.
“It wouldn’t be that bad to become an essence collector.”
I obtained Iron Skin, as well as the other skill that Jong Ho obtained for me.
Both were S ranking shields with the same cooldown and duration.
The one difference was that while Iron Skin could possibly cause the enemy to become immobilized, the new skill Holy Block inflicted holy element damage, which was hard to defend against, even with high magic resistances.
Of course, it had a low chance to activate the secondary effect.
Let’s say that I use three of these shields at the same time.
Then my attackers could be hit with the reflected damage, immobilized, and holy elemental damage.
At least one of the shields would activate its secondary effect.
I thought that my Mana Shield was everything I needed, but I was pleasantly surprised at these shields that I never knew existed in the first place.
My level was now nearly 300, and my main attacking spells Meteor Call and Iceberg were nearing level 200.
The cooldown would be zero.
‘Have you seen a hunter who spammed Meteor without a care? That’s me.’

I Never Run Out of Mana Chapter 62
Previous Chapter|Index|Next Chapter
62. The Best Merchant Kim Min-cheol
I had to obtain a powerful shield.
To do so, I had to get enough essences to purchase one.
While talking with Jong Ho, something came to me!
It was the Lizardman’s Gauntlet.
I wasn’t able to obtain the best gauntlet I could, but I had a few mid to high mid rarity gauntlets.
I could just sell these.
I went into my room with Jong Ho and brought the box sitting in a corner.
“Hyung. Do you think I can get some essences with this?”
Opening the box cover, Jong Ho couldn’t help but be surprised.
Lizardman’s Gauntlet could only be obtained from defeating the level 28 dungeon boss, and there were 5 of them in there.
His hands were shaking as he held them.
“What… What are all these?”
“What do you think they are? Lizardman’s Gauntlets of course.”
“Yeah I’m aware. Where did they all come from is what I’m asking.”
“Guess they drop a lot more frequently than I thought?”
The rarity of the gauntlet was due to the low number of Awakened that could manage to clear the level 28 dungeon.
The actual drop rate from the boss wasn’t that low.
The best one that could drop would offer me 20% magic resistance, but the one I was wearing gave 18%.
All the ones gathered in the box were of lower quality.
Jong Ho began to equip each of the gauntlets, noting the stats and resistances it gave.
Until you equipped the item, the stats could not be checked, so he was equipping them to approximate the worth of each gauntlet.
He put a post-it on each of the 5 gauntlets, and then he turned to speak to me.
“With this, it seems you won’t have to worry about the essences.”
“Really?”
“Of course! The lowest quality ones have a 10% magic resistance stat, but all of these have over 14%.”
“Okay. Let’s go sell them right away.”
“Firstly, we should sell the two highest ones at 16%, each under a separate ID and to make the deal in person. As for the other three, you should ask that midget friend of yours for help. If you put out so many amazing goods at once, especially 5 of them, it would draw unnecessary attention.”
“Yes. I thought they would sell for pretty penny, so I was collecting them. Are each of them worth an essence?”
“Looks like the average gauntlet offers 15% magic resistance, and go for 1 essence each. For the ones that don’t reach 15%, we could cover up the difference with money to receive the essences.”
“Wow. They’re worth more than I thought. I’ll have to start hunting again tomorrow, so let’s take care of this today.”
“Agreed.”
****
Since the item was rare to the point where none were on the market, it took less than an hour after putting it up on the trade website for tons of messages to arrive.
I already asked the midget to take care of the two 15% ones, as well as the one that is 14%.
Since the market had already set the price, there was no need to use any of the black market routes.
I just have to use two Awakened IDs provided by the midget to go vendor them.
The midget had already succeeded in selling two of the gauntlets.
The gauntlets we decided to sell on our own were worth twice in value.
It was only 1% higher than the average 15%, but the cost had doubled.
It was possible for us to get two essences for each gauntlet.
I almost felt bad for putting them in a worn out cardboard box.
And since this equipment was so rare to the point that it didn’t exist on the market, some of the messages sent to us said they would offer up to 3 essences for each of them.
If I took my time and sold them by using basic market principles of supply and demand, I could probably get even more than that.
However, I could get more gauntlets as I pleased, and I needed a new shield spell as quickly as possible, so I settled on getting 3 essences for each of them.
“Hyung, should we use the midget’s office as a trade location?”
“Do you like that place so much? I heard you even set the Warp spell there?”
“I dunno. It’s just comfortable there.”
“Well, there is no reason to meet with them here and give away information on our personal lives. It’s probably better to take care of it over there.”
“Then I’ll go contact them right now.”
****
The clock was showing 4pm.
The sky could not ignore the change of season, and was already becoming darker outside.
I arrived at the office where the deal would take place, as well as the 3 essences the midget obtained from selling the mid-tier gauntlets.
Since I had to purchase the shield soon, I brought Jong Ho as well.
Jong Ho and the midget had already greeted each other over the phone. The information regarding what skill books to buy using the black market was passed on as well during the call.
We finally arrived at the office.
“Welcome. So you’ve arrived.”
“Yes. Hello.”
“I’ve only introduced myself via phone. My name is Lee Jong Ho.”
“Yes, yes. Glad to meet you.”
“The last one hasn’t been sold yet?”
“The buyer said they will be arriving within 30 min. For now, please take this.”
He went towards his desk and retrieved a check, as well as two awakened essences.
I thought that check was for the 14% gauntlet that needed some money added onto the deal to make it worth an essence.
However, the check I received was something I did not expect in the slightest.
Staring at the check in disbelief, I heard the midget speak.
“Well… the market price was set at one essence per gauntlet, but since it was such a rare item, the price offered was more than what we expected. The additional money we received aside from the essence as well as the extra money from the buyer arriving soon should add up to something, even if it’s not worth an entire essence.”
“Oho…?”
The midget was acting completely different from what I knew him as.
Following my orders, all he had to do was give 3 essences as promised.
But he was trying to give me the extra money he received from the dealers as well.
“Is business going well for you?”
The midget couldn’t help but be flustered at my words, and seeing the whole ordeal, Jong Ho couldn’t help but laugh.
Disbelief couldn’t be helped, as the midget I knew only cared about money.
But showing me a side of him like this, I couldn’t help but feel awkward as well.
Perhaps ashamed, he gave a smile.
“Haha… That… They say even hatred is a form of caring. Our relations didn’t start off very well, but in the hopes that our partnership will prosper, I was hoping you’d take his as an apology…”
“Well sure. I am benefiting from this partnership. And I’m sure I’ll need a lot more from you in the future ahead.”
“Of course. That’s true.”
“But…..”
He was trying to determine my mood.
His smile was replaced with a serious look.
“I won’t take this money. Please use this to cover some of the debts.”
“What… Didn’t you already repay all of the debt?”
“I’m sure there are a lot more than just me.”
“……”
“As I said before, how about changing your occupation to being a middleman for trades? It makes quite the earnings, you know? And all three of you are Awakened.”
“I understand what you’re saying. The extra money will be used to clear up the debts of others.”
“Yes. Think carefully. With this much money, I think they could all be taken care of.”
I’m not trying to live like some nameless saints who donate massive amounts of money secretly, trying to pay off the debts of others.
It was because money held no meaning for me anymore.
But there was no reason to let others to suffer like my mother and I did due to money.
And I also wanted to give this midget another chance, since he didn’t seem like a bad person at his core.
Almost as if ventilating the heavy air the office was filled with, the door opened and the gauntlet buyer entered.
“I’m here to buy the gauntlet.”
****
“Hm… Guess we just have to wait?”
So far, 10 essences were collected from selling all the gauntlets.
This was a lot more than all the essences I’ve obtained so far.
Just looking at how much essences I had, I thought I wouldn’t need the mimic to reappear.
To think that I was able to get essences this easily with the level 28 dungeon runs that I could clear with ease.
After defeating the radical faction first, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad life to settle down selling gauntlets for a living.
The wait didn’t last long.
Both the midget and brawler class goon entered the office hurriedly.
“Huff, huff…. Here it is.”
“Thank you. You worked hard.”
The skill book was handed off to Jong Ho, who scanned it using his smartphone.
“While the cost was high, thankfully there are many of it readily available on the market.”
-Iron Skin-
Usable Class: Warrior. Paladin. Brawler. (If obtained by other classes, the mana cost increases tenfold)
Mana Cost: 10% of total mana
Skill Introduction: *A shield that absorbs damage appears.
*Attackers who hit the shield has a chance to become immobilized. 3
*As the skill’s level increases, the shielded amount as well as the duration increases.
*Able to defend against (???) ranking skills and lower.
Cooldown: 120 seconds.
Duration: 60 seconds. (Per 20 levels, the duration increases by 5%.)
Skill Rank: Defensive rank S
Estimated Skill Book Value: ???
That was the information on the skill book showing up the smartphone’s screen.
The reason why the cost was so high was because it was a skill that was used often by tankers.
No matter how many stat points you invest into HP, no tankers could last without shields.
Another important factor was that instead of consuming a specific amount of MP, it used up 10% of total MP.
Usually only offensive skills had % mana consumption, but it was different for Iron Skin.
It was a warrior class shield skill that consumed % of the user’s mana.
So even a level 1 Awakened could benefit from the incredible amount of defense this shield provided.
“Whew. This cost us 5 essences?”
“It may look weak to you, but as it is an S ranking skill, it provides an insane amount of shielding. And the duration increases as you level it up too.”
“Hm… Let’s say I reach level 200 with this. I guess there will be a 30 seconds gap that I will have to cover with another shield.”
“Yes. And we didn’t get the other skill book today, but that skill book is a skill that could fill that 30 second gap.”
The midget’s group spoke up.
“Um… Using Piercing Sword and Heal, as well as Lightning Spray… Are you a Third class?”
“Ah…..”
When I went into the dungeon to give these goons a good thrashing, I didn’t think ahead and just used a bunch of skills.
The Third class he was talking about was a class with two subclasses, having a total of three classes.
Jong Ho and I didn’t even know of its existence before.
We only learned of it while investigating how Joker had a subclass.
They probably do exist out there, but not much was known about them.
Similar to the skills that were beyond ranking.
“Ah… Well, it’s just that my mana regen is a bit fast. That’s why I’m able to use skills from many classes.”
“Ah.. That’s why. It just seemed odd how all the skills you were purchasing up until now had class requirements that were all over the place. It made me very curious as to why.”
Hearing his words, Jong Ho and I gave each other a knowingly smile as our eyes met.
It was probably because Jong Ho himself was tricked like this before as well.
With an amused look, I asked Jong Ho.
“What’s the other skill you were talking about before?”

I Never Run Out of Mana Chapter 61
Previous Chapter|Index|Next Chapter
61. Unexpected Event. Portal Explosion. (3)
-CRASH!
“Damn it all to hell…”
“…..”
Joker had received the news that the level 29 portal explosion had succeeded.
His anger had reached its limit, and so his table was smashed apart.
His subordinate who came to make the report was shaking like a leaf.
From behind the curtain, he asked, filled with rage.
“Who was it… Ghost? Dark Lady? Who was the bastard!”
“It was Da.. Dark Lady.”
“AHHH! That bitch was able to make quite the impression….”
Joker’s rage does not subside easily.
All three leaders were to work on this project, as ordered by the head of the radical faction.
Dark Lady had succeeded in the portal explosion before him.
The only female leader in the radical forces, Dark Lady.
Her class was a tanker. And her subclass was an assassin.
Attack and defense. She had the perfect balance without any gaps.
Other than the head of the radical forces, she was the second strongest, following right behind Joker.
“The one…. Where is the location of the sun?”
“Th.. that’s… Supposedly he is at Incheon as of now.”
“Are you absolutely sure?”
“Yes. We were able to find out from spies that have infiltrated Dark Lady’s forces.”
“I see.”
The leaders fought against one another to obtain even the slightest amount of favoritism.
The group hadn’t moved for a while, but the boss claimed they would be soon. Finally, it was starting.
The boss had always visited Joker, for he had the greatest combat capabilities, but it was different this time.
After the portal exploded, he had headed towards Incehon, where Dark Lady was residing in.
“He went to meet Dark Lady….”
“Yes. That’s correct.”
“Come over here.”
“… Yes?”
“Come over here and clean this up.”
“Ah… Yes, leader.”
Joker spoke while pointing at his broken table.
Following his orders, the messenger headed through the curtain towards Joker.
The messenger’s eyes were already adjusted to the dark, but he did not have the courage to look at Joker’s face.
Trying to calm his shaking hands, he was trying to clean the debris when…
Joker’s giant hand grasped his head.
Joker whispered quietly.
“That glory, it should have been mine.”
“…. W-What do you mean….?”
“The glory that the Dark Lady achieved, it should have been mine. Don’t you agree?”
“Yes of course! It should’ve been yours, leader. The Dark Lady…”
Interrupting his rambling, Joker lifted his head to face him at eye level.
The messenger, now pale in color, looked towards Joker.
Almost as if his eyes were going to burst in flames, Joker asked while staring him down.
With a chilling smile plastered on his face to boot.
“What do you think the reason was for this glory that should have been mine being stolen?”
“That’s… All I can think of is that it was due to luck…..”
“Luck?”
“Yes! Dark Lady could have only succeeded on the project because she got lucky.”
Hearing his answer, the smile on his face fell, replaced with killing intent.
“Wrong.”
“T-Then what… KUWAK!”
-CRACK
Joke smashed the head he was holding onto into pieces.
The messenger was an Awakened.
But despite being an Awakened, his head was easily crushed like tofu.
Blood sprayed everywhere, and the air was filled with a metallic odor.
Joke tossed the limp corpse towards the entrance, and wiped the blood from his face.
And then he muttered to himself.
“The reason? That my luck was bad? AHAHA! Not funny in the slightest. I’ll tell you the correct answer.”
Opening his eyes wide in the dark room, Joker was staring at the headless corpse.
With huge lumbering steps, he headed towards it.
“It’s because of fools like you who are so afraid for your lives that you can only care about being tactful. Of course, you would be one of them. Or was.”
Underneath his feet, a darkish red aura began to form.
It was almost as if his rage was taking physical form at his feet.
However, this was a skill that the executioner class had, called Enhance Killing Intent.
Most skills the executioner class had were hand to hand combat oriented.
Out of those skills, Enhance Killing Intent allowed a portion of the body to turn into a weapon.
Almost like tenderizing meat with a hammer, he began to kick at the corpse that started to go cold.
“When you meet Jin in hell, look at him and regret on your existence. You would finally learn how pathetic you were…..”
****
“This is the location where the level 29 portal exploded, Jebu Island. The situation has been handled, and the surrounding area is being investigated. All Awakened guild members who participated in the fight are receiving protection from the association and are being escorted out.”
“Reporter Wang Seok-hyun, has all the monsters been taken care of?”
“Yes, that’s correct. Due to the association’s policy for safety, we were unable to capture any footage on the battle against the monsters. However, we can still see the how intense the battle was from the blood splattered all over the place. There are enormous corpses of monsters sprawled everywhere. These corpses are so disfigured, I’m having a hard time telling what they once looked like.”
“Is that so. I heard that there is much credit to give to general Yoon Jong-sun. How is his condition right now? Are the other Awakened safe?”
“Yes. Thanks to the quick response from the association as well as his brilliant commanding skills, all the structures and residents, as well as the Awakened are all safe and sound.”
“So they are.”
The scene of the battlefield changed to the studio’s desk, and the news anchor spoke while facing the camera.
“Can’t really put it in any other way. The credit goes to the amazing skill the Awakened from the association possesses. Thank you for all your hard work. This was the first time in history that a level 29 portal exploded. It is scheduled that the association will be releasing a statement of the reason for this occurring, what this could mean for the future, as well as their plans to deal with such possibilities should they arise. It’ll be covered at 8 o’clock on the special news report segment. Thank you.”
Today was Sunday. A day I did not go to hunt.
I had Jong Ho come over for a meal. We were snacking as we watched the TV.
The portal explosion incident that started at 9PM had finally settled down by daybreak.
After that, due to the association’s influence, reports started pouring in as early as 7AM.
Without much concern, Jong Ho and I watched the news.
“Guess they stopped it somehow.”
“Of course. Even if they are monsters from the level 29 dungeon, if the association arrives, they can stop it. 3 rankers were deployed as well.”
“Well, I guess there wasn’t anything for me to do there.”
“But I wonder why the level 29 portal exploded. It never happened before.”
“That’s true. I was thinking about it, and I couldn’t help but suspect that the reason is related to what I saw recently.”
“The thing you showed me before?”
“Yes. Well, the association will be briefing about the reason of the explosion soon enough, so let’s listen in.”
“Jeez. Are you still believing everything that idiot box is telling you? Out of everything they say, you can’t even trust 10% of what they are saying.” 4
“I know that as well. Just wondering if they have any information on them.”
“That’s that but, how are you doing as of late?”
“About what?”
To my question, Jong Ho lowered his voice and whispered to me.
It was because he was worried that my mother would hear it from the kitchen.
“What do you think. Talking about the radical faction.”
To his question, I responded by casting Silent.
Now this conversation between Jong Ho and I could not be overheard.
No reason to cause pointless worry for my mother.
“Ah. Nothing at all.”
“After their last move, there hasn’t been anything else?”
“Yes. It’s so quiet, I wonder if I really took out Jin in the first place.”
“That just makes me worry more, you know?”
“That’s why I’m trying to get stronger as if my life depends on it. Because it does.”
“Of course. What’s your level now?”
“Going to be level 280 soon.”
“What? That’s insane. Weren’t you level 80 about 2 months ago?”
“Hyung. Isn’t this the difference between being determined and not? Difference due to how determined you are!”
“You sure it isn’t due to the difference in the ability we possess?”
“Well, that could be a part of it too.”
“Oh you. Ah! I forgot that I was going to give you this.”
Jong Ho began to dig through his pockets.
I was wondering what kind of new information he was going to give me.
“Surprise!”
“Huh?”
Going beyond my expectations, Jong Ho was holding out an Awakened essence.
On his palm it lay sparkling, as big as a thumb.
Raising his chin proudly, he continued.
“You know my personality doesn’t let me have a debt go unpaid.”
“But how did you get this? You hunt in a group. Did you kill them all and stole it from them?”
“Hey! Don’t say that nonsense. Thanks to you, I was able to hunt like never before at a time where I wasn’t even in a position to hunt, so I had a lot of time leftover. Lending amazing weapons such as Banwol Jincheon, the interest should at least be worth this.”
“You really killed them all, didn’t you?”
“To level up my skills that were falling behind, I ran the level 10 dungeon! You little shit!”
“Oh? Like how you explained before, you were farming for an essence?”
“Yeah. I did it for a whole week, but only one dropped.”
Since I used the last essence on the Mass Stealth Jutsu, I was at a situation where I had none left.
To heal all the fatigue I accumulated from the continuous hunting, I had used Heal to the point where it had reached level 100.
Other than Glacial Field and Formless Weapon Aura that I acquired recently, all skills had hit at least level 100.
What I needed now was to improve my defensive capabilities, so the correct choice seemed to be to invest my essence on a shield spell.
Lich King’s armor set as well as the Lizardman’s Gauntlet.
The reason why I obtained them was to increase my defensive capabilities after all.
However, compared to my amazing defensive equipment, all the shields I had other than my Mana Shield ranked only at a C rank.
The Reflect Shield that reflects attack at a certain % chance was already Awakened at this point.
It was too wasteful to use an essence on a C ranking shield.
“Hyung, can I really use this?”
“Yeah. I think at least until next year, none of my skills will hit level 100.”
“Ah, that’s right. You told me that you don’t have any skills leveled high enough to Awaken, right?”
“Yeah. I have a long way to go.”
“Then, even if it is very shameless of me, I’ll be using it.”
“You’re trying to be modest even after lending me 2 Banwol Jincheons? Don’t make me feel worse.”
I quickly took the essence off his hands.
Once again, I learned just how much of a bro he was.
I desperately needed not just the essence, but his capabilities as well.
I shoved the essence into my pocket, and asked him.
“Hyung. I’m trying to learn a new shield skill. What do you think would be good?”
“You already have Mana Shield, right?”
“This one isn’t for hunting.”
“Ah. Okay. Okay. Hmm…. It doesn’t matter if the skill is from a different class, right?”
“Of course. Doesn’t matter what the class is, I need a powerful shield.”
“Alright. A powerful shield is great. But you don’t have many essences to trade with, right? You could buy essences with money, but even with your stamina, you’ll probably find one or two more who are willing to sell at best.”
“Ah… Right. Darn it…..”
I wondered if it was time again to visit the midget’s office again to borrow some.
I could just repay them later.
Then, an idea came to me all of a sudden.
“Hyung!”

I Never Run Out of Mana Chapter 60
Previous Chapter|Index|Next Chapter
60. Unexpected Event. Portal Explosion. (2)
Thanks to the unprecedented level 29 portal explosion, the association was in a state of chaos.
It wouldn’t take much longer before the government representatives arrived as well.
Before the representatives arrived, they had to figure out the reason of the portal’s explosion, as well as a way to deal with this.
Fire was around their feet.
Due to the association’s president raising his voice, the head researcher continued.
“Something you’re suspicious of? What is it?”
“That’s… Did you ever hear of something called the Portal Erasure Test?”
“Isn’t that a completely failed experiment?”
In the days when portals were first appearing. Roughly 3 years after the first Awakened began to appear.
While trying to research a way to eliminate the portals that grew stronger each year, this experiment came to be.
It was to have a lot of Awakened gather up their mana and send it towards the portal.
With condensed mana, they were supposed apply a physical force on the portal itself.
“Yes. While they tried to destroy the portal, it ended up only hastening the portal’s explosion instead. A failed experiment.”
“What. So what does this have to do with our current situation?”
“This is something I heard from the survivors of that experiment. Due to the failure of the experiment, the portal exploded and the monsters that came out from it supposedly were bigger in size and had higher destructive capabilities.”
“… So this matches what Yoon Jong-sun reported?”
“Yes. That’s correct. However, after the failure of the experiment, the cleanup was completely classified, so not much information is available. This is only an eyewitness report.”
“Hm…”
Listening to the department head, the president of the association stroked his chin with a serious expression on his face.
If this explosion was achieved due to deliberate malicious intent, then this situation was going to get out of hand.
Contemplating for a while, he opened his mouth to speak once more.
“Everyone, listen up. What the research head said, not a word to anyone else. The government officials that will be arriving soon cannot learn of this.”
“….”
It was then that Kim Ho Jin of the Awakened special control unit stood up.
Even though everyone was busy trying to save their own necks and trying to match the president’s whims, he stood.
Staring directly at him, Kim Ho Jin spoke.
“What’s the reasoning? In this dire situation of all times.”
With a single phrase from him, he had everyone’s attention.
He had asked the one taboo question that no one was willing to ask.
Noticing the furious look on the president’s face, they stayed silent.
“Ah, department head Kim Ho Jin asks a good question.”
“….”
“Let’s say the portal was blown up intentionally. Who do you think would be behind that?”
“Well that would be…”
“It’s not like the local thugs got together and poured their mana into it! This situation, let’s not make it any bigger than it already is and just find a reasonable excuse! If you can’t find any reasonable excuse, just make one up! Understood, everyone? Just cover it up saying we have a special unit investigating it for now!”
“Yes.”
“Yes president.”
Finishing his spiel, Choi Man Seo stormed off out of the room.
The radical faction. Everyone here probably has the same idea.
But everyone in the radical faction were Awakened.
The blame would also fall the association, because it is their jurisdiction.
That’s why they were trying to cover up the truth with a simple portal explosion story.
To avoid the responsibility they were supposed to carry.
After the president left, Kim Ho Jin couldn’t help but lash out in anger.
“Damn it… You all are only good at taking care of yourselves, aren’t you?”
“Ha, the nerves of yours to say things like that. It can’t be helped.”
The people left in the conference room followed the orders they were given, and started to debate on how to explain the portal’s explosion.
It would be more accurate to say that they were making up the reason though.
They were making it up as they went, relying on the information the association hunters were relaying from the scene.
****
-CRUNCH.
“KWAAAAA!”
The gargoyles were in the middle of charging towards the breakwater.
However, the Mage Gargoyles in the rear were stopped.
It was because they were frozen from the frost magic attacks that over a hundred Awakeneds had cast.
Their wings and body slowly froze, each of them screaming in pain.
The countless magic attacks that were heading for Yoon Jong-sun stopped at the same time.
The gargoyles that used melee attacks did not reach landfall yet.
“ORAAAA!”
Yoon Jong-sun, who was only defending with the shields, began to cast offensive magic.
An orb in one hand, a staff in the other.
A spell materialized between them, and shot itself forward onto the frozen gargoyles.
“KU..KWUA.”
“KWUH!”
The sky colored in yellow by the star shells turned blue in a split second.
Like a huge rainstorm, countless frost arrows hailed upon them.
It was a skill called ‘Frozen Shower’.
The mana cost was a massive 2500, but he was casting one on each of his hands.
It was only possible due to the mana stat he had, as well the weapons he held in each of his hands.
The weapons both raised the mana stat by an enormous amount.
Their bodies frozen and unable to move, they could only receive the full brunt of the attack.
It was as if hammers and chisels were chipping away at them, as the gargoyle’s bodies were being broken apart.
Their final cries were only befitting of just how many monsters were gathered here, reaching all the way to the breakwaters.
If these monsters were regular level 29 dungeon gargoyles, at least half of them should have perished.
Because an A+ ranking attack was casted twice, after all.
However, they were at least 1.5 times larger than their regular counterparts.
They had received a massive amount of damage, but only a few had lost their lives.
Checking on the condition of the monsters, he muttered to himself.
“Guess I underestimated them by a lot. They aren’t just big in size.”
He was the Yoon Jong-sun, the one who had cleared the level 29 dungeon countless times.
While he didn’t expect wiping them all out in one go, he at least thought he could take most of them down.
However the results did not look favorable.
Even after expending 5000 mana, he wasn’t able to deal much damage.
After he finished his attack, the healer next to him spoke.
“General. Most of the vanguard gargoyles are nearly here.”
“How much are you able to restore? My mana that is.”
“Even if we use up all our mana, we can only give you about 2 thousand tops.”
“Hm… We’re not even in a condition to cast shields, huh.”
“What should we do?”
“At that speed, the moment we retreat, this place will become a war torn barren wasteland.”
“Then…”
“We’ll have to hold. Reinforcements should arrive soon. We just have to hold until then.”
“Yes. I understand.”
Yoon Jong-sun turned to the Awakened behind him.
“Looks like it’s going to be a tough fight.”
Magic attacks from over a hundred Awakeneds.
Even with ranker Yoon Jong-sun’s attack, these monsters were not retreating.
The fighting spirit that burned in their eyes was changed to fear and despair.
“Are… are we going to die at this rate?”
“This is crazy. If only I didn’t draw the short end of the stick… Who knew level 29 dungeon monsters would be this strong.”
Each of them were talking with disbelief in their hearts.
The level 29 dungeon could only be cleared by a very small fraction of the Awakened, known as rankers.
They were not able to recognize that the monsters they were fighting were bigger and stronger than the average gargoyle.
They could only tremble in fear at the sheer power of the monsters.
Casting all those AoE skills, the mana expended by the Awakened was enormously high.
Despite being the highest level Awakened from their own respective guilds, it was difficult to cast it more than 4 times.
Yoon Jong-sun split the group in half.
He spoke to everyone on the left side first.
“This side, please cast shields on me. Use spells with the least amount of mana cost.”
“Understood.”
“Yes.”
“This side, when the mage gargoyles begin to thaw out, please cast frost magic on them once more. To take both ranged and melee attacks is too much to handle. Everyone who has nearly spent all their mana, please begin casting shields on me.”
“Yes.”
It was to make sure the mana was used efficiently.
The goal was to hold this location until the ranker magicians of the association arrived.
Even while as he commanded, many magician Awakened had arrived to assist.
Those who could not join immediately due to the Warp skill cooldown were finally arriving via vehicle transportation to provide aid.
As soon as he finished his explanation, the vanguard gargoyles began to attack.
Their sharp talons were ripping apart the shield easily. It was almost laughable how easily the shields tore away.
If the mage gargoyles attacked at this moment as well, both Yoon Jong-sun and the rest of the Awakened gathered here would be instantly wiped out.
“Uah…. Damn it all.”
“KWUAAAA!”
To add onto the dire situation where his mana was running out, the Crowd Clown aggro skill ran its full duration.
If the aggro he was holding was let loose, the entire line would fall apart.
Expending half of the 2000 mana he had left, he took the aggro once more.
Both healers that stood by his side were busy transfusing all the mana they had the moment it regenerated for them.
About 10 minutes had passed like that.
The number of Awakened that stood on the right side freezing the mage gargoyles lessened with time.
That meant that most their mana were used up at this point.
At this rate, it wouldn’t take longer for the ranged attacks come as well.
Yoon Jong-sun’s body was already covered in blood.
If he continued to use his personal shield spell, he wouldn’t be receiving this much damage.
However, due to the limited mana he had left, he had allowed these attacks to go through.
His breathing was ragged.
He did not have any mana left at this point.
“Huff… Hu…..”
“General! You should retreat for now…”
“I’m fine. How are you all doing? Enough mana, right?”
To raise morale, he shouted, and in response the Awakened redoubled their effort on the skills they were casting.
It happened in a flash! All the gargoyles that were attacking were ripped apart.
“KWUAAAA!”
And so….
In the darkening sky, at the end of the breakwater, voices that one could only welcome were heard.
“Oh boy. Grandpops, that’s quite the burden you are carrying.”
“The old man is quite energetic.”
“General!”
“Huff…. Hu, you’re late even here?”
Finally, 40 members from the association had arrived as reinforcement.
As if on the verge of letting out his final breath, he sighed and welcomed them.
Out of the 40 Awakened, there were three that led them.
They were all magician rankers that ranked right below Yoon Jong-sun himself.
“Let go of the aggro, old man. Do you have a nice place reserved for you down in the afterlife or something?
“Ah… Ahahahah!”
Saying some humorous nonsense and arriving next to Yoon Jong-sun was a man in his early 40s.
Yoon Jong-sun, despite his face being matted in dry blood, could only laugh at him.
The new arrival looked towards the healers who were his followers.
It was a silent command to take away those who had received grievous wounds from the battlefield.
Both healers nodded their heads, and while supporting Yoon Jong-sun, began their retreat.
“Granny came as well, so make sure you get proper care.”
“Sang-Ho. I’m counting on you.”
Nodding his head, he casted the aggro spell identical to the one Yoon Jong-sun casted.
At the same time, two other rankers that came with him stood next to him.
“Mage gargoyle.”
“I’ll take care of those.”
“Good.”
“Then Hye Won-Ih, you and I will take care of these.”
“Yes. Understood.”
“Shall we get started?”
