I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy
Chapter 320

Episode 320 Choice (2)

[Choice]

The Shingeombaek family has become a great family, and you have stood tall as a great swordsman. Now that your fluttering oath has become a solid pillar, it’s time to choose. Choose whether to stay in this world or head over to the Marutun continent and end it all.

Conditions: If you accept the quest, you will be sent to the Marutun Continent 30 days later. If you decline the quest, the darkness and system will disappear and you will remain here.

Compensation: None.

Baek Woo-jin read the quest details with calm eyes. Unlike usual, the writing style was serious but devoid of emotion.

“It came, but I didn’t know I would have a choice.”

I knew this quest would come, but I didn’t expect that I would be given the choice.

“If I accept the quest, I will go to the Marutun Continent in a month. If I refuse, I will stay here and live as the head of the Hundred Houses, right?”

-okay.

“Isn’t it strange? The reason the system raised me is because it wants something from me. “Why are you giving me a choice?”

Baek Woo-jin tilted his head. The system has raised me to where I am today by handing out so many rewards that darkness causes chaos every time.

I’m sure there’s something I want, but it’s strange to give me the option of staying here.

-I think I know roughly why…

“Why?”

-Because I spent a long time with you.

“What is that…”

-You know better, but systems are not machines, they have emotions. That means I have feelings for you.

“ah!”

-You know the future and have become strong enough to easily defeat anyone in a fight. If you stay here, you can live the rest of your life happily as the strongest warrior and the best head of the family. But…

Darkness continued speaking in a voice that was a mixture of ridicule or regret.

-The Marutun Continent is where the power of the blonde guy and the Murians that I remember are directly affected. You can fight with those who have mastered the best martial arts that have been passed down for over a thousand years, and there are countless corrupted dark elves and dark demons. It’s a dangerous place no matter how you are.

“….”

Baek Woo-jin quietly listened to the words of Darkness, who seemed a little excited.

-Plus, the system might not be able to help you like it does here.

“So the system gave me these options in the hope that I wouldn’t die?

-It’s my prediction, but it’s true.

“Then what about you? “What are you going to do if you raise me like this and don’t use me?”

-Well, everything will work out, right?

Darkness shrugged the blade in a calm voice as if it were someone else’s business.

“Are you okay? “I need to get my memory back to replace out what happened with that blonde, if he’s still alive, and who that girl is.”

-Hmph, who am I? The strongest magic sword. It’s darkness! Memories don’t really matter. Also, look down there. Do you see the reward?

Darkness turned his horse and pointed to the reward at the bottom of the quest window.

-Does it make sense that there is no reward while doing a quest? Why do you do this? Just say no!

“….”

Baek Woo-jin stared at the darkness, hoping for another answer. It was not difficult to sense that he was hiding his true feelings.

-Shit! This is why being connected to the soul is so uncomfortable! good night. It’s hard to deceive, so I’ll be honest.

Darkness cursed and twisted the blade.

-You feel attached to a system that is so far away, what about me?

“….”

-You are my student, younger brother, and close friend. It’s not bad if you can enjoy living here.

“Darkness. “You…”

Baek Woo-jin bit his lip and lowered his head. His sincerity was melted in the dark voice, and my heart rang loudly as if I had hit my heart with a hammer.

Heukam sincerely hoped that he would remain here and live happily.

-The system is not stupid, so it would have prepared other measures. Actually, the Marutun Continent has nothing to do with you. It’s not bad to just ignore it and live….

“If you look at the quest details here, do you see that it says that I have achieved my goal?”

-okay.

“Then do you remember when you set that goal?”

-of course. Because you were a crazy person who exceeded my expectations from the beginning.

Darkness chuckled. Baek Woo-jin surprised himself from his first training. How can I forget the memories of that time?

“Then do you remember what I swore?

-It was to become the strongest swordsman in the world. On the side, there was also the matter of defeating your father, making the family worthy of being a family, and saving the world. I accomplished everything.

It was no exaggeration to say that all of Baek Woo-jin’s childish but sincere goals were achieved.

“that’s right. “I eventually achieved all of those goals.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded and continued speaking.

“It’s just that it’s not entirely mine.”

To achieve that goal, one’s own contribution is only about one-third.

These are goals that would never have been achieved if it were not for the darkness and system that made up the remaining two-thirds. It was like I owed them a huge debt.

“I owe you guys. Due to my personality, I can’t give it up without paying it back. And you just said “He thinks of me as his student, younger brother, and close friend.”

-Yes….

“Me too. You are my teacher, brother, and friend. “Your work is my work, and your benefit is my benefit.”

I was able to make a clear decision with the sincere words of darkness and the options given by the system.

“No. “The choice was made from the beginning.”

-uh? hey!

Baek Woo-jin firmly pressed the quest acceptance button.

[Quest accepted.]

[Go to Marutun Continent in 30 days.]

[Remaining time: 29 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 58 seconds] A

message window showing the remaining time appeared before my eyes.

-You crazy guy! You don’t have to think about it properly! What are you going to do with your family?

“For that purpose, I raised the reputation of the Baek family and the value of my name in advance.”

Baek Woo-jin shook his head with a sad expression. For a day like today, we reorganized the organization in advance and raised the reputation of Baekga.

To be honest, even if we move to Marutun Continent right now, the Baek Family will take care of itself.

“If I go to the Marutun Continent, there is no way Murian will send monsters this way, and since we have already eliminated the Balrogs that will appear in two years, there is no danger left.”

-You’re forgetting the most important thing. You could die if you go there.

“If I was going to die, I would have died long ago.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled with confidence. There is darkness and there is a system, so no matter what adversity appears, it can be resolved. That’s what I decided to do.

-Ha, I don’t know anymore.

Unlike the darkness that had sighed, his voice became lively. It seemed like he felt better because he wasn’t separated from him.

“Then let’s do some training.”

-I knew how to say that.

Baek Woo-jin and Heuk-am looked at each other and laughed.

– Now that I know what not only you but the system thinks, things seem a little better than usual. The system is actually kind….

Ding!

[You have completed the hidden quest < Resolute Choice >, which involves making a decision within 10 minutes.]

[3000 points have been awarded.]

[The Legendary title < Resolute > has been awarded.]

“Huh? Was there a hidden quest? “It’s been a while since this happened!”

-What is this! They said there was no compensation!

“This is a hidden reward. “I received it by pressing accept on the quest within 10 minutes.”

-10 minutes? It must have been an hour!

“no. “If you look at the time, it was short.”

-shit! system. This guy is really crazy!

The sword and the human, who shared the same emotion just a moment ago, have disappeared. Only happy humans and angry swords remain.

“Isn’t it so ugly to make a fuss just because you were worried about my life a little while ago and got some compensation?”

-That’s that and this is this! I cancel everything I said earlier! Being nice sucks!

The darkness twisted its sword body and growled like a fighting dog on the verge of battle.

-The system, you bastard! Come down now! I’m going to break your head!

**

Wooooow!

Pure white brilliance descends from the stone statue of God that soars endlessly high.

The stone statues of angels erected on hundreds of pillars spread their light, bathing the entire cathedral in white light.

At the end of the sacred path stretching between the pillars, a blond-haired young man was kneeling, and on the throne in front of him was a silver-haired middle-aged man with his hands outstretched and his eyes closed.

Wooooow!

The light pouring down like a cluster of stars stopped and the silver-haired middle-aged man opened his eyes. The black and white parts of his eyes were reversed, giving off a bizarre glow.

“Deputy Director Murian.”

“yes.”

Murian, a blond young man, raised his head at the middle-aged man’s call.

“The oracle has come down.”

“ah!”

“He said the human would soon return to the continent. “Be sure to deal with him there before he sets foot on this sacred ground.”

“All right.”

“I believe it.”

The middle-aged man held out the captain he was holding in his right hand to Murian.

Quaaaaa!

The five bells hanging from the captain rang and a magnificent light covered Murian.

“Ahhh!”

Murian rolled his eyes and let out a moan full of joy, with a blazing light wrapped around his body.

The middle-aged man twitched his lips as he felt the amplifying energy of Murian.

“Finally at that level….”

**

Three days later, Baek Woo-jin called Baek Yeon-hwi, Baek Eun-kyung, and Moon Ju-young to the Gaju match.

“Why did our busy matriarch invite us all?”

Baek Eun-kyung sat on the chair and crossed her legs.

“I guess I called you because I needed something to do.”

Baek Yeon-hwi sat down across from Baek Eun-kyung and put down the documents on the table.

“I have something to tell you.”

“What? “Are you going to cause another accident?”

Baek Eun-kyung’s eyes sparkled. I was already looking forward to it because none of the things Baek Woo-jin has done recently were uninteresting.

“I want to leave the family for a while.”

“Um…”

“What?”

“yes?”

“omg!”

Baek Yeon-hwi, Baek Eun-kyung, and Moon Ju-young opened their mouths in horror. However, there were only three people here, but four voices rang out.

“for a moment. “I just heard another voice…”

“You too, come down now.”

Baek Woo-jin gestured toward Mu-yeong-guest, who was hanging like a spider from the ceiling.

“Muyoungguek!”

“Hey, I was embarrassed and got caught.”

“I knew it from the beginning.”

I knew from the beginning that Muyounggaek was hiding in the ceiling, but I just left it alone because it looked fun.

“really? “Oh, you really can’t fool a prosecutor.”

“You crazy guy! “Where am I?”

“You’re coming too, so why can’t I come? “We are in the same class.”

“What is the same class?” “You…”

“Okay, you sit down too. “Stop guarding the door.”

Baek Woo-jin laughed and stopped the two people, pointing to the seats on either side of him.

“I’ll say it again. “I will be away from the family for a while.”

“why?”

Eun-kyung Baek stood up and slapped the table. Now that the family’s foundation had been established and its former reputation had returned, I couldn’t understand why the head of the family was leaving the family.

“I want to travel a bit and practice swordsmanship.”

“travel? “What kind of trip does the most famous guy in the world travel?”

“It doesn’t matter because I’ll be moving around in disguise and only a few people will know that I’m leaving. “Let the outside world know that you have entered closed training.”

“No, no matter what…”

“It wouldn’t be a bad thing to do that.”

When Baek Eun-kyung was about to raise an opposing opinion again, Baek Yeon-hwi nodded.

“Woojin has been fighting his whole life. To become strong, to defeat his father, to make the Baek family the best family, and to help people. “We fought endlessly.”

“Hmm…”

Baek Eun-kyung frowned and sat down again.

“After becoming the head of the family, I raised the family’s reputation, reorganized the system, and created martial arts that anyone can easily learn. “I’m not busy or have anything important to do, so it’s not a bad idea to observe the current situation for a while.”

“That’s right…”

“That’s my opinion too.”

Baek Eun-kyung and Moon Ju-young nodded at Baek Yeon-hwi’s words.

“There were many times when my father abandoned the family to pursue personal training. “Compared to that, he’s a noble person.”

-I’ve felt this for a long time, but doesn’t your eldest brother suit the Baek family the least?

‘that’s right. ‘He is an incomparably good person to me.’

Baek Woo-jin smiled slightly and nodded.

“I agree. “Get some rest and then come back.”

“Thank you for understanding.”

“What do you understand? “The head of the family has decided, so I just follow it.”

“Then I can’t help it.”

When Baek Yeon-hwi agreed, Baek Eun-kyung raised her hand in agreement.

“So where are you going?”

“To travel around the world, see various cultures, practice in nature, and help people in need.”

“It’s true of you to help me even when I’m traveling.”

Baek Yeon-hwi smiled softly.

‘I heard it’s still the same.’

Baek Woo-jin was always the same at the front, at Gwanghwamun, and at Daeyeonmun.

He acts for others rather than for himself. I was amazed at the fact that he grew up so straight despite going through all the hardships he faced in the Baek family.

“I get it. “I will tell the outside world that you are in a closed building, so don’t worry and have fun.”

“thank you.”

“Still, it would be good to show your face sometimes…”

Baek Eun-kyung tapped the table, quenching her appetite. Baek Woo-jin currently has more influence than any other person. It was a bit disappointing because it was essential when expanding the business.

“Don’t worry about that. “Because he is there.”

“Eh?”

Baek Woo-jin grinned and grabbed Mu Young-gaek’s arm.

“Me?”

“Your specialty is disguise and acting. “You can transform into me, right?”

“I can do it, but is it really okay to do it?”

Muyounggaek’s eyes began to shine with excitement.

“Go, matriarch!” It’s not possible! “I wonder what will happen if I leave it to this thief…”

“That’s why you need to strike a good balance.”

Baek Woo-jin said he would believe it and tapped Moon Ju-young on the shoulder.

-Hehe, if Moon Joo-young doesn’t control him, he will go into other people’s houses and steal with your face.

‘It’s obvious at first glance.’

As Heukam said, Muyeonggaek is a person who cannot control himself. At least I heard what Moon Joo-young said, so he had to take charge.

“When are you leaving?”

“In about three weeks. “It could be faster than that.”

“i get it. “I’ll do whatever you want.”

“I guess I’ll have to go on a trip soon too.”

Baek Yeon-hwi maintained a smile while Baek Eun-kyung left the conference room, clasping her head with both hands.

“Hahaha! “I will prepare a disguise and come back!”

Muyoung-gaek floated like a squirrel and threw himself through the window.

“Ha, then I’m going to stop that guy too…”

“I have a favor to ask you for a moment.”

“yes?”

“Please save these on my tablet PC.”

Baek Woo-jin called Moon Ju-young, who was about to leave after Mu-yeong-gaek, and handed him a note.

“Crash Landing on You, Awesome Villa, Romantic Prosecutor, Doctor Department… Aren’t these dramas?”

“that’s right.”

“Matriarch. You really like dramas. Even when practicing, the tablet is turned on. “You also take it with you when you travel.”

“That’s… no. “I don’t like it… I don’t like it.”

Baek Woo-jin sighed and smiled awkwardly.

‘I’m not interested in dramas….’

Of course, that’s a drama that Darkness will watch. He threatened me and asked me to save the drama, and there were too many of them, so he gave half of them to Moon Joo-young.

-Hehehe, well done. Of course it’s Baek Woo-jin.

Heukam brushed his head with the blade of his sword, complimenting him in a way he had never heard before during martial arts training.

“Oh, and get me a lot of high-capacity portable batteries. “I spend the money with my card.”

“All right. “I will prepare it for you.”

-You can watch dramas on the Marutun Continent! What a gift of civilization!

The darkness exploded with light and flew around the conference hall like crazy.

“Oh, one more thing.”

After checking the state of hectic darkness, Baek Woo-jin approached Moon Ju-young, who was about to leave, and whispered to her.

“Look for spoilers and plot twists in the dramas I gave you and pick them out.”

“A spoiler and a twist?”

“okay. Like the secret of birth or the final twist. “Anything is fine.”

“Well, I understand.”

As usual, Moon Joo-young nodded without asking any questions and went out the door.

‘good.’

Baek Woo-jin turned around and saw darkness. The guy was still in a good mood and was making a fuss.

‘This is a leash.’

After checking the endings of the drama he was saving and the drama Moon Joo-young was saving, he planned to release spoilers every time Darkness fussed. Thinking about the embarrassing darkness, I couldn’t help but laugh.

-hey. If the meeting is over, let’s go to training. I didn’t say anything today…

“Today’s training is a pass.”

Baek Woo-jin shook his head and stood up.

“There is a place I must go before I leave for that world.”
