Novel Full Chapter 74 - I Have Two IDs?
Chapter 74: I Have Two IDs?
I didn’t know there were such bonuses like these coming from having five titles.
And I can confirm that no one else knows this because there are very few who have even one title.
So, after checking everything, I opened my status window full of anticipation.
“Check status window!”

“…”
After reaching level 200, I did not open my status window because I had used all my remaining stat points and skill points acquired previously, and I could hardly hunt because I was focused on the quest..
Since I still remember my status window at level 200 in great detail, I could easily find out the changes since then.
For example, aside from my number of kills changing from 11 to 1096 and myl stats increasing by 300 thanks to the title ‘Honorable Name’, I could even remember that my agility had not exceeded 1000 previously.
“Asirante?”
I could understand changes like this, but I could not understand one new change that did not fall under the category of increases. .
It was none other than the name Asirante written by my ID, lumen.
Of course, an ordinary person usually had one name.
And it was the same in games.
Most of the time users only had the one ID that they decided on initially.
“But this isn’t applicable to me?”
And something immediately happened that confirmed this.
[You have a friend request from BOSS Kang.]
Soktae Kang used to be theGahwa Guild’s leader.
Vowing revenge, he warned me never to forget his ID before he was killed by me.
Of course, I’ve never let him know about my real name or my ID lumen. It was my pseudonym Asirante that he remembered, the Ice Emperor who was the original owner of the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword.
In other words, Kang probably added me as Asirante, not Lumen, because that’s the only name he knew.
So, I accepted his friend request to confirm whether it was the same guy.
[You have accepted BOSS Kang’s friend request.
-You can whisper to BOSS Kang.]
[BOSS Kang: Hey, you son of a bitch!]
[Asirante: 1]
[Asirante: 2]
[Asirante: 3]
[Asirante: Man…this guy really…]
Soktae spat out swear words right off the bat.
However, I didn’t care at all about it because I was more concerned about the word “Asirante” appearing instead of Lumen.
[BOSS Kang: What the heck is this crazy bastard saying? What a jerk? How could you sell this information to Myongjin? How much did you get for this? 100 million won per month is more than enough! You greedy bastard!]
“Delete friend BOSS Kang.”
[Would you like to delete BOSS Kang from your friend list?
-When you delete, you cannot whisper with him anymore.]
“Sure. Delete.”
[BOSS Kang has been deleted from your friend list.]
Gahwa Guild? Soktae Kang? I am not afraid of them at all.
Moreover, he and I have already crossed a river that could never be crossed again.
In other words, I had nothing to talk about with him, even though he had a lot to argue with me.
Despite that, I had a reason to accept him as a friend because I wanted to test whether Asirante had become my ID or not.
And one single test was enough to confirm it.
“Man, I have two IDs now?”
I was a little embarrassed, but concluded it wasn’t a loss for me because my two IDs, Lumen and Asirante could cause a lot of confusion to opponents later on.
Thinking like this, I invested all my remaining 950 stats into Intellect.
As a result, my Physical Strength increased by 950 and Mental Power by 475 thanks to the Mutual Growth trait.
“Hhhhhhh.”
After checking my status window, I laughed like a villain once more, then moved forward to increase my level which had remained the same for some time.
Of course there was one hunting place that I had set my heart on, but I had to stop for a moment because there were numerous NPCs waiting for me in the Safety Zone of the Rocky Area.
One of the NPC group members stepped forward. It was none other than Kihanna who initially gave me the quest.
“Thank you very much, Asirante.”
“You’re welcome.”
Honestly, I received more rewards for my performance than deserved.
Besides, I received a huge special reward that I had expected for the simple reason that Pioneers’ City was renamed Asirante. In fact, it was thanks to these people right in front of me that the city was renamed ‘Asirante’. No one else would have a reason to rename the city with such a strange name.
So, I acted as polite as possible, forgetting about my calculated actions until now.
“We’re thinking of leaving this place because we are no longer chained down by the status of being slaves,” Kihanna said.
“Where are you leaving to?” I asked because I was a little curious.
“To our hometown in the north. They say it is a barren and dry land, but it is our hometown.”
“Ah…”
I saw clearly in the quest that the Salte clan were a northern tribe.
“I hope you guys are happy there. I also hope that you won’t go through that terrible slavery again.”
“Thank you. Asirante, if you come to the northern area someday, please visit our Salte clan. We don’t easily forget someone’s help. You can use this when you happen to look for us. This is the mark of our Salte clan.”
Kihanna handed me a pendant engraved with a Mountain pattern.
I received it without hesitation because refusing to receive a gift offered in good faith is rude. Besides, I had no intention of ruining the good atmosphere between us.
Anyway, I shook hands with Kihanna and the Salte clan people in the Rocky Area’s Safety Zone with all of us smiling, then left.
***
Sok-tae Kang’s house in Seoul. Several people were chatting on the sofa in the living room.
“What a crazy bastard! He deleted my friendship request? Damn it!”
After that, he kept friend requesting Asirante, but it was up to the other party to accept it or not. So, he got more angry because his revenge plan fell flat completely.
At that moment, a man sitting on the lead sofa opened his mouth.
“Be quiet. Sit down.”
“Yes, sir.”
Soktae reigned almost like an emperor within the Gahwa Guild because he had money.
But not any more. He had to know his place here.
“So, the Myongjin Guild established a base there?”
“That’s right.”
“Myongjin Guild is…”
“It’s almost one of the top three guilds in Korea. Rumor is that their guild members alone almost number 100,000. What’s more, the guild members aren’t simply ordinary people. It’s unthinkable to fight against them.”
“Hmm.”
When he said that, the person sitting on the lead sofa groaned.
Then he opened his mouth after some time.
“In the end, it seems that we need to somehow get rid of the server wall blocking countries in game to do business .”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Good. Let us give up the stone squirrel’s undigested masses. But you have to make this guy Asirante, who messed with our business, unable to play this game again. Got it, Sakamoto?”
“Sure, I will do it!”
Sakamoto was born to a Korean father and a Japanese mother, and his Korean name was Jiwan Oh. But he abandoned his Korean name just like his Korean father abandoned himself and his mother in Korea.
Anyway, after his Korean father disappeared, he was treated as an outcast for the reason that he was of a mixed-race. Perhaps he was even more ostracized because his blood was mixed with the Japanese.
So, Sakamoto immersed himself in a game in search of an escape from reality.
It was none other than ‘Forgotten Legend’.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t participate in the 1st Closed Beta, so he started from the 2nd Closed Beta.
During the 2nd Closed Beta, Sakamoto achieved the maximum level and earned a trait in the ‘Tracking’ series that was a common series in game.
However, what Sakamoto gained as a trait was so excellent that it far surpassed a simple tracking skill. That’s why his trait name was ‘persistent pursuit’.
“I will track him down and kill him ruthlessly so he can no longer access the game.”
Sakamoto responded loudly to the man on the lead sofa.
Hearing Sakamoto’s determined response, the man opened his mouth with a nod.
“Good. But don’t let your guard down because this Asirante has a very high level. Stay alert.”
“Yes, sir. We have summoned all those who can be considered as strong among the people we hired. So, no matter how powerful Asirante is, he won’t beat us this time.”
Since they could not do anything about the Myongjin Guild, they made Asirante their target because they had to pay back what they had suffered.
But they didn’t know that during the span of only a few days, Asirante, or Lumen, had become much stronger than before, as if he was now a completely different man.
