It caused the information the Guidelines offered to change as well.
[Race: Human. Mage Lv. 38]
âYouâre now a level 38 Mage.â

âYou mean I leveled up twice in a day?â
Han-bin spoke in a carefree way.
âItâs possible because youâre a dragon.â
Latnainsâ level rose only when they improved their skills.
Taking down monsters using the tactic they were using was no different from taking down the scarecrows.
If someone were to destroy hundreds of scarecrows all at once, their skills wouldnât really improve.
However, those who belonged to Latnaâs Dragon Family could absorb energy directly from the killed monster, allowing their tactic to become effective.
âI feel like this should be illegal. Is it common for Aliens to develop strength this way?â
âI donât know, but isnât this normal? Its concept should feel familiar to anyone who has played online games.â

âOnline games?â
âIâll explain it later. Itâs a little complicated.â
Evading to answer, Han-bin asked another question.
âIâm not sure why you havenât thought of this before. It isnât such a difficult concept to come up with.â
When Dragons killed enemies, they gained power at the same level as the enemies theyâve killed.
With that in mind, it shouldâve been easy to think of the same concept without any experience in playing online games.
Artis grinned.
âIâm not an idiot. I have had a similar delusion. But who would think this is actually possible?â
âWhy? Dragons can get stronger at a faster rate this way. Why not just help each other out?

With the same logic, Artis refuted.
âIf a rich man gives away his fortune, he can make a beggar rich. But why do humans refuse to help each other?
Certainly, everyone on Earth thought it would be nice if the Middle Eastâs oil-rich people gave them about 1 billion each.
But he didnât think it was realistic.
âWell, at least your parents couldâve helped youâŠâ
Only then did Artis realize what kind of misconception Ryu Han-bin had.
âDragon has no affection between parents and children like humans.â
The easiest way for a dragon to increase its power was to kill other dragons and absorb their entire cores.
They often targetted their own kind.

âEven if you are a parent or child, it was the same.
Artis said that male and female dragons only meet to create eggs as a part of their instincts, but they became strangers after that.
âSo, Dragons donât even hold hands?â
âNo. Weâre all in a hurry to eat each other up. Iâm not living in hiding in the human world for nothing.â
âThatâs surprising. Are the Dragons in this neighborhood mostly evil?â
Just looking at Artis, he thought they were generally good creatures.
âWe definitely canât be labeled as kindhearted or good, butâŠâ
Artis explained hesitantly.
âBut weâre not as evil as human prejudices. Everyoneâs just a little selfish.â
This content is taken from lightnovelpub[.]com
They didnât want to help others, only cared about their greed, took whatever they wanted, and sometimes pretended to be human to cause chaos across the worldâŠ
âBut we donât covet human blood and flesh! There are so many things in the world that taste better than humans.â
Artis complained.
Han-bin had a blank look on his face.
âThey still sound pretty evil.â
Still, he didnât bother to point it out.
He could at least be certain that Artis was an unusual entity among Dragons.
âAnyway, that should be enough rest. Letâs move on.â
Artisâs breath still had one more shot left.

He could still level up a bit more.
Han-bin grinned.
âI have to raise the level of this guy and advance to the center of the continent.â

The night they closed the Tackle Dungeon and returned home, they had a conversation.
Ryu Han-bin and Artis gathered in the living room to discuss their next task.
Thanks to his disguise as a Valtara warrior, he managed to lose his reputation of being incompetent.
However, Ryu Han-bin was still in a situation where he couldnât reveal his real strength.
Even a Valtara warrior couldnât be as strong as him.

âCanât I pretend to be an Aura user?â
âPretend?â
The symbol of Aura users was a shining blade, a blade aura, and a barrier surrounding the whole body.
âEither by magically lighting the sword to make it look like a Blade aura, or by making the body glow to look like a barrier, so Iâd look like an Aura user.â
âThatâs a trick thatâs too easy to detect.â
Most of Latnaâs four major users could sense energy.
Right now, Even Artis could tell to which of the four energies a skill belonged to.
But it was still impossible for him to figure out how powerful and how high-leveled it was.
âIf they look at you, theyâll easily recognize that youâre emitting an aura made out of Mana. Well, the general public would be deceived, though.â

âI see.â
To not be suspicious, it seemed that he had to learn how to use Aura.
âHow can someone be an Aura user?â
âI heard that Aliens could become an Aura user just by raising their level.â
âIâm in this mess because I canât raise my level in the first place.â
Wizards, Priest, and Dark Swordsmen, could use energies such as Mana, Prana, and Force as early as level 1, but the warrior class was slightly different.
They had to gradually increase their level through physical training before they could awaken upon reaching a certain level.
After awakening, they would be able to demonstrate superhuman abilities.
âAccording to the Guidelines, the awakening skill comes at level 50, but it would take too long before I can get that skill due to my circumstances. Thatâs why Iâm trying to learn Aura like a Latnain.â

Latnains also differed according to individual talents, but they became Aura users between levels 50 and 60.
Artis answered back.
âIâm a mage, so I donât know much about Aura. All I know are basic knowledge.â
There were usually three cases of the Latnain in awakening Aura.
The first was to learn swordsmanship and martial arts handed down from generation to generation of historical knights.
In the case of long-established martial arts, the art itself was said to lead its practitioners down the path of Aura naturally.
However, such styles were closed off to the public and werenât just passed to anyone.
Bloodlines and connections were carefully considered, and there needed to be a connection.
It meant that they didnât just teach their techniques to anyone that carried a bunch of money.

âThe first is impossible.â
âI think so. The second one isâŠâ
Some geniuses found themselves on the path to Aura.
Without learning traditional martial arts, they awakened by realizing the worldâs logic based on long experience and outstanding high-tier skills.
âThe founders of venerable swordsmanship and martial arts are such cases.â
Ryu Han-bin frowned.
âSo, when it comes to martial arts masters, it means that theyâre the great servants of each Church, right?â
He couldnât have that talent.
If Han-bin had been such a genius, he would have already awakened the Aura while dealing with Demon Dogs at the Rocky Mountain.

âThe third one?â
âI donât know about that one.â
âEh?â
Artis laughed at Han-bin, who was confused.
âIâm not trying to make fun of you. I really donât know. I just know thereâs another way to gain Aura out there.â
The Aura user Artis met before was not from a renowned family, nor was he a genius who had been enlightened to the worldâs logic.
Nevertheless, he succeeded in awakening Aura.
âHe said his limit was that far, although he quit being a Hunter at level 53 to retire.â
Besides the two known methods, he said that there were other ways for warriors to awaken Aura.
The most up-to-date novels are published on lightnovelpub[.]com
Most of the Hunter-born Aura users used that method.
âBut since itâs a secret, he canât just tell anyone about it recklessly. Iâm a Mage, so I didnât ask anymore because I wasnât interested.â
Han-bin was disappointed.
âYou should have asked, geezâŠâ
Regardless, at least they knew there was a way.
Rumors also had it that anyone whoâs a Hunter-born Aura user would immediately know.
âIsnât there a Hunter strong enough to awaken Aura here?â
âWith a level that high, they usually donât come to the countryside anymore. Youâll have to go to the Four Major Stations to meet them.â
The Four Major Stations, located in the center of the continent, had so many powerful dungeons that they banned commoners from entering.

Artis thought that there would be enough hunters who awakened Aura there.
âYou canât even get into the Four Major Stations unless you are at the level to awaken Aura in the first place.â
Ryu Han-binâs next move has been decided.
âGo to the center of the continent, meet an Aura user, and learn how to use Aura.â
It was already possible for him to do that.
He had already solved the problem with his level and had raised enough funds.
Regardless, he decided to stay in Highten for the time being.
He still had to become a Churchâs partner first.
âIâll be fine, but Artis canât survive in the middle of the continent yet.â
The source of this content is lightnovelpub[.]com
Hunters had to be at least over level 50 to safely raid a powerful dungeon in the middle of the continent.
Artis was only a level 36 Mage.
âIf he goes back to his Dragon form, heâd be over Level 50, but he canât reveal his identity.â
Plus, he didnât even want to break up with Artis.
Thanks to him, Ryu Han-bin managed to solve many of his problems, and his life became a lot easier.
Above all, there was no need to hide his identity from Artis.
âHow likely am I to meet another friend that I can trust like this?â
The next Goddessesâ blessing wouldnât be given until after three years.
He wasnât running out of time.

Instead of going alone, he came up with a new plan.
He would raise the Artisâ level, so he asked him to advance to the continentâs center together.
Of course, Artis agreed.
It was an offer with no reason to object.
Artis just doubted about one thing.
âMy level might not rise fast enough, even with your help. I think itâs a waste of your time.â
* * *
Artis shook his head as he recalled last nightâs conversation.
After thinking about it, he finally understood why Ryu Han-bin was so confident.
None of what they were doing was a waste of time.
âI really can eat the world rawâŠâ
