An uncountable number, to be sure.
Why exactly would his mother be safer in the US than Korea? It's not like the bad guys are based in Korea or anything. I suppose she's less likely to accidentally caught up in it when he's attacked in his room or something, but if they decided to kidnap her it wouldn't make much of a difference.

I kind of wish that they'd move on faster. What I enjoyed was seeing game concepts applied to real life, or "real life consequences" of game mechanics, not literally 20 chapters of a dude grinding.

I agree. I wish he could just get the dungeon creating skill grinded up so he could have more dungeons to grind. I can't wait for the "let's grind for the 0.1% rare boss drop" arc.

I mean, he's found the way to get more dungeons so basically it's dungeons all the way to endgame now. The endgame is more dungeons. Her mom leaving means he can 100% focus on the dungeon grinding. This is the real MMO experience. :getin:

I feel like I am the only one who likes these chapters. I read this partially because of how hilarious everyone treats him, and having this, a chapter with The Best character in it come out is good.

I'm wondering if that's going to be a running joke. Every other arc is going to be him trying to do something worthwhile with his powers but he just ends up grinding and never actually going anywhere. It's a meta commentary on MMO's.

He needs to join a guild and start raiding.

Also, a flying mount. I prefer the flying manhole cover like the red-cloud thingy in WoW.

His mom doesn't need to be protected. She's a loving legendary housewife. Level 17. She's the scariest thing out there.

Don't mess with the House Wife. Don't. It is the worst idea. I don't care who you think you are. It ends the same way. You on a stake and your friends cleaning up your bloody mess while she looks at them with a bone chilling stare.

Gnome is a hardcore cold blooded killer.

'Just gonna spear this downed ogre in the head.'




And D&D clerics are far from white mages. Think channeling the divine power of their god to smite things and keep teammates in the fight.


Well they're white mages if they were allowed to wear heavy armor, wield big rear end weapons and have a lot more up their offensive sleeve than just Holy.

I'm actually interested if he'll go the specialization route or just use his OP learning abilities to go for it all. Basically, the ol' Elder Scrolls "I have every magic spell in the game and 100 in every magic skill. Come at me."

His interest in alchemy and enchanting is what stood out to me in this update, though. Just add smithing to the mix and he is a one man arms dealer.

His abilities are already bullshit, all he really needs is a bunch of magic equipment that he made himself to make his stats bullshit too.

Right now I expect him to either bomb or do poorly on his exam, despite his int, and I won't even blame him because he seems to really enjoy running around grinding all his skills (except for life drain).

He hasn't been grinding his stupid dance skill either. Confusion can be a really good debuff, so he's clearly making bad choices with his build.

This?! This is a glorious dance! That has been passed down! In my family for generations!
Since he can grind any skills he wants (and invent new ones) seemingly without restriction, there doesn't seem to be much point in labels like "wizard" (except as shorthand to describe his fighting style). There's no actual class system restricting him from learning whatever seems good at the time. Especially since he can make zones with dilated time to practice as much as he wants.

And considering Jee-Han went out of his way to contemplate his future and doing well in school, it would be kinda silly if he ended up bombing his classes...

Wizards in classic D&D are basically do-everything power players, and with Jee-Han not being limited by things like Vancian casting and can invent his own spells... well...

Broken is not a strong enough word for what Jee-Han could become if the author writes him that way. :getin:

My favorite wizard epic spell was the ability to raise an island out of the sea. My personal weakness was whenever I made a campaign was to have a wizard who used it. Hero or villain. It's just such a cool idea.
