Unparalleled Changes - [ Chapter - 54 ]

As Ho-Seok heard the notification, he started to get up as he was still on the ground, but now that all the pain and pressure he was feeling from just a few seconds ago were now gone as if they never existed in the first place and he sighed.

So as he got up, he quickly took a breather as even though it felt like his body was okay, his head was still spinning from a pain that wasn't even there suddenly his legs collapsed onto the ground as he felt a sudden pain in his chest.

[Ding! The Rebirth function has sustained immense damage from carrying the Player Ho-Seok's drawback!]

[The system has locked a few stockpiled lives as a payment! The locked lives will be returned after a while. It is advised not to gain any deaths relating to the "Divine", "Soul", "Spirit", and many other forms of that hold stronger strength than your own.]

[...or else a permanent death may unveil.]

When Ho-Seok heard those notifications, he was shocked as he checked his profile to see that, there were indeed grayed out profiles and at the bottom part of the panels had a dark gray timer in it and so he was a bit relieved to see it was really just temporary.

However one of the panels held his chain mastery abilities and the panel had the longest time from the rest of the other stat and skill boosting panels, so it seemed like the stronger the panel was the longer the timer for it to be returned.

Ho-Seok was curious and never asked about anything so he decided to try and see if the system would answer his question, "Are the locked panels selected at random?" he asked and so at first there was silence and was a bit disappointed.

[The panels will be chosen at random if you do not pick your panels to use a shields and cannon fodder for your drawbacks.]

[Ding! The feature "Drawback Profiles" has been created.]

At that moment, a new panel appeared right in front of Ho-Seok, it was the same colored panel but now, it showed a list of panels and he could check the ones to be used as shields to block anytime he need however the weaker the panel the more it needed.

This part really made it hard for Ho-Seok, since there was a part of it that said that if there isn't enough energy in the used panels, it will randomly choose another panel or more to use. Which isn't that scary at the first sight of how it is explained.

But this could mean, it could choose one of his strongest panels while also removing his other panels that boosted his stats which helped him already fight against people and monsters that were a lot higher level than him and if they attacked him during that time.

There could be enough strength to make him lose more panels, but Ho-Seok still didn't know what else could trigger the drawback of his deaths and he definitely didn't want to try and find out while a few of his skills and stats were already locked.

After all that thinking, Ho-Seok decided not to try his void command skill on anyone stronger than him for now unless he's sure that he's willing to take the risk and now he then selected on the time he was gonna go back to and he was then blinded again.

[Ding! The system would like to tell the player that his void ability has made some troublesome changes into your world. The system warns you not to use your void ability on other players without caution.]

As Ho-Seok opened his eyes, he was really confused as to what the system said but he was quickly snapped out of his thinking as he was now outside of the Tower once again during the mass outbreak of Monsters so he quickly told Calin to turn into a sword.

『A sword? Ho-Seok wouldn't a chain be more suited for you still?』

When Calin asked that, he laughed a bit and said, "Well as of right now, my sword skills are far more useful due to the fact that some of my skills were locked, you must of heard of it while we were in that heaven looking place Calin.", Ho-Seok said as he prepared to fight.

Now as Calin, turned into one of the many swords that he had absorbed, Ho-Seok quickly started to hunt down monsters and other boss monsters to quickly fill up his lowered abilities. He also decided on another thing as he found out about that his panels can be locked.

He once thought he was now invincible and could get his family a nice life even if it costed him some deaths but now that blissful and wish thinking was broken by reality and now he decided that he was going to learned a wide variety of skills.

With Calin and Olivia's ability to transform into what they absorb, Ho-Seok definitely knew it would be useful to have more than one fighting style spread across multiple panels since this would also allow him to not live in fear of his panels getting locked.

Although Olivia is an armour type ego, it will still be useful for different type of transformations for different styles, like an assassin outfit for daggers and a strong armour for a knight style since it would allow him to also change styles at will without worry about the equipment or weapon.

Suddenly as Ho-Seok was in deep thoughts about his plans, another portal formed. It shocked him a lot, as this never happened in his first life or his last life before the one right now, so he was immediately confused as to this sudden big change.

[The World and its system has summoned more monsters to increase the soul count in the World to try and fix the hole that the missing soul of the Player "Goemul" or commonly known as "Bloody Killer" has created.]
