The skill book that I scanned using the app was named Eye of the Storm .

"It's on the level of a dictionary?"
"Wait… If another class uses it, the mana cost is ten times?"
It is . The entire time I was hunting, I've never seen a Healer or a Necromancer uses skill that was of a different class .
When you use a skill that was not of your class, a ridiculous amount of mana would be consumed .
"Oh boy… This is insane, I think this is a big deal?"

So in this case, as long as I have the money, I could use any skill I wanted without restrictions .
It felt like I was a second tier of the Awakened .
While I was lost in my catharsis, I noticed the price of the book .
"I'm tired of even cursing . 30 million won? My goodness . "
For an offensive skill book, 30 million won was on the cheaper side .
However, for me, it was a price that was ridiculous .
If I think about it, the hunt for the kelvecore was a hunt that was worth risking my life for .
With just the Soul Stone and the skill book, my earning was 130 million won!
[TN: Around $110,000 . ]
The jewel that Park Hyun spoke about, I have no idea how much it is worth .
In one day! With one lucky hunt, I was able to make a huge amount of money .
Without a second of hesitation, I learned the Eye of the Storm skill .
With my Lightning Spray, there is no better synergy .
It was a skill that would synergize well with any kind of AoE, actually .
More than the 30 million won, I was looking forward to getting 300 million won, 3 billion won, even 30 billion won .
"Skill rank? What's that…?"
I pressed on the skill rank .
Depending on the skill's destructive power, the skill's ranking was split between S~F .
For defensive spells such as shield, the rank was based upon how much protection it provided .
"Of course it's going to be an F skill, it's not an offensive skill but rather a support skill… And my Lightning Spray skill is ranked C? What…? I thought it was a rather strong skill . "

I changed into the blackened, blood stained clothes and left Park Hyun's house .
She was having a phone call with someone while waiting .
There were many escorting cars in front and behind the car we were riding in .
This level was that of presidential or high ranking personnel escorts .
I thought it was just a decent guild… I guess was wrong in a good way .
As she got into the car, I asked, "Where are we going?"
"We have to fill out the guild application form . There is also something else that I would like to do . "
She answered with a peaceful smile .
The place that we arrived at after an hour long car ride was the Noblesse's guild building .
While I had expectations, the size was much greater than I expected .
'This size is for a guild that's only in the middle ranking…?'
There was something hidden within that smile of hers .
Before being Awakened, I wanted just a single spot in one of these big buildings .
Since I was desperate to get a job to work .
Now? It's more 'That one high rise building can be mine!' kind of level .
After going through the entrance, there were countless people greeting Park Hyun .
With a simple reply, she responded and walked quickly past them .
It was then that I truly realize this one woman was the master of a guild .
The place that she took me was the 15th floor, the Stone Workshop .
When the elevator door opened, the place before me was completely different from the lobby .

In the center was a humongous sized furnace that took my attention .
'Is this complying with the construction laws?' I thought with pointless concern .
–Metal struck noise . -
Everywhere, I heard the sound of molten metal being struck .
After walking through, her steps stopped in front of an old man .
Then, with a higher level of respect, she greeted .
"How are you doing, advisor?"
"Aha~ Who is this? Our young leader has arrived? What's the occasion?"
It seemed that he ate kimchi for dinner .
[TN: No idea, the original translation translated to "flour kimchi", I have no idea what that is, if anyone can elaborate, do feel free . ]
Hearing the rough voice of the old man, it felt as though my throat was hurting .
The old man stopped what he was doing and greeted Park Hyun .
"There was something that I wanted to ask of you . I feel sorry every single time . "
"Hahahaha! Would there be any other reason to come see an old man like me? What is it? Before I draw my last breath, quickly, tell me . "
Hearing that voice, 'It seemed like he's really going to breathe his last breath, so talk quickly!'
As if hearing my thoughts, Park Hyun spoke .
"I wanted one staff for a magician . "
"Haha, that's disappointing, there are so many staffs anywhere, what kind of a request is this?"
"Hm… not a C ranked, but a half A rank please . "
"Half A rank? Something so rare, is this guy going to be the one using it?"
The old man spoke while pointing his red hammer at me .
Despite his age, his muscular arm made me flinch .
Seeing that spectacle, Park Hyun went 'kuu' before continuing to speak .
"You'll do it, huh?"
"Sure! All I'll have to do is just hammer away anyway . "
The old man accepted Park Hyun's request with enthusiasm .
After the greeting was finished, I asked her .
"What's a C rank, and what's a half A rank?"
"We're talking about the rank of the weapon, depending on the blood stone, the weapon's rank changes . Weapons and armors can be obtained outside of hunting . Just like it says, C rank weapons are made from C ranked stones, half A rank weapons are made from half of a B rank and half an A rank stone . "
I could not hide my surprise that they could craft weapons .
The old man advisor's class was a blacksmith .
Other than the crafting skill obtained at level 1, a blacksmith would not get any skill book or item for their class .
Also, surprisingly, they could obtain experience points without fighting monsters to level .
The only way they could raise their level and skill level was to hammer away at a blood stone .
'You can earn money, but it must be a very mundane life . '
As told by Park Hyun, the elder advisor was not the highest level amongst the Noblesse guild's blacksmith members .
However, he could craft weapons that were better than blacksmiths of a higher level as he had talents beyond just his class .
While I was heading to her office on the 60th floor .
'Damn!'
