I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling

37 – What is this?

‘… Hmm. That should be fine’

I lightly checked my current outfit in front of a full-length mirror in my dorm room.

Lightly dressed without any weapons or armor. It was an outfit that only focused on mobility.

I said I was going to get the hidden piece, but I didn’t have to arm myself.

‘Because there is no battle in this Hidden Peace. It’s kind of like going through an obstacle’

This time’s Hidden Peace is more like a ‘time attack’ to pass through obstacles as quickly as possible. This is because the higher the clearing speed, the higher the grade of the hidden piece.

Did the community say the fastest time was 32 minutes? It is said that the user obtained a hidden piece equivalent to A rank.

Anyway, the most important thing to get this hidden piece is the ability to cover long distances in a short time and the ability to choose the right path.

That’s why it’s better to leave cumbersome items behind. When I was ready to leave….

“Lee Seon-woo, are you leaving at this hour?”

The dark spirit floating in the center of the room, Li Ling, spoke to me.

“Yeah, I feel like running for a bit. I’ll run around the dormitory for a bit.”

“Okay, Seonwoo Lee. I’ll make arrangements so you can wash up right away when you get back.”

“Thank you, Li Ling.”

“However, please come back to your room by 1:00. Right after 1:00, the defense and alert functions of the unknown will be activated. After that, unless there is a special reason, you will be penalized.”

“I’ll be back by then….Then.”

“Please go. Seonwoo Lee.”

Tak-

Close the door and leave the room.

My current location is the corridor on the second floor of the Unknown Hall.

The moonlight leaked through the window and was softly illuminating the dark hallway.

The second floor is where male students live in the four-story Myeonggwan.

The 3rd floor was for female students, and the 1st floor was for restaurants and various facilities. The fourth layer is used by administrators.

It may feel small for a top-tier dorm, but…. The whole of the Unknown Hall is full of high-level space magic, making it the largest of all the dormitories.

Would it be easier to understand if I said that it is at the level of a huge stadium?

‘The location of the entrance to the space with the hidden piece is…. Fortunately, it seems to be on the second floor’

A golden line appeared before my eyes and pointed to a corner of the hallway on the second floor.

A plain wall with nothing special, only the moonlight shining on an empty wall with no decorations.

However, at midnight, a ‘gap’ to a special space will open for a very short time.

‘I need luck from the start…. What kind of hidden peace is this….’

To get this hidden piece, you need to enter the ‘crack in space’ that only appears for a very short time.

However, the problem is that the entrance appears randomly in one of the corridors on the 2nd and 3rd floors.

If you are unlucky, you may not even be given a chance to get it.

Fortunately, I have the , So I know where it will appear…. If the other users didn’t appear in front of me even after waiting until midnight, wouldn’t the sage time come?

‘I’m really glad…. If it was on the 3rd floor, I had to sneak in using ….’

I let out a sigh of relief. This method is because if you do it wrong, your reputation can go to hell.

… If you get caught by mistake, you’ll be treated as a pervert with the ability to break into the girls’ dormitory, even using advanced abilities such as .

‘But since I can’t go normally, there’s no choice other than ….’

The space itself is cut off between the 2nd and 3rd floors by space magic, so you can’t go around normally.

It’s possible if you have a special permit, but there’s no way for me to get it right now, so I have no choice but to sneak in using special methods like .

While I was wasting my time thinking about this and that, Sensed something.

Giying-

‘… Well, it’s time.’

Looking at the clock, the time just before midnight. Anomalies began to form on the wall in front of my eyes.

A small black hole ‘only visible to me’ appeared on a plain wall, slowly increasing in size.

It is a gap in the space where you can see mana directly because there is an .

In the eyes of others, it will only look like an ordinary wall. Is it to the point where you feel a bit of a difference if you have space-related abilities?

‘Is it a temporary crack that appears when dozens of spatial magics hanging in an obscure tube collide for a long time…. At this rate, it would only appear once every 50 years.’

In other words, if you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait 50 years. The Demon God will resurrect and destroy the world before 50 years pass, so this is the last chance.

Right after the gap in space started to open, I activated my rigid body technique, concentrated my mana on my legs, and prepared to run right away. It’s been a long time since I changed my gift to [Rush].

Giying-

‘… Now!’

The moment when the gap in the space in front of your eyes was so large that a person could barely pass through.

I threw myself into the wall in front of me without hesitation.

Soo Woo-wook-

With the unique feeling of moving through space that surrounds my body, my vision has completely changed.

***

From noble mtl dot com

After passing through the black space, what you see is a passage made of solid stones on all sides.

Tak-

Kwaang-!

The moment my feet touched the floor, I kicked off the ground without delay and ran forward.

Ta-da-da-da-da-!!!

The leg power strengthened by Kicks off the hard ground, and whenever your feet touch the ground, you use To increase your speed.

[Activate !]

[Physical abilities temporarily increase!]

Use To increase physical abilities.

[ Is activated! Target: Charge (C)]

[Rush (C) ▶ Charge (C+)]

[Rush (C+)], Whose grade was temporarily raised by , Assisted me and increased my speed endlessly.

Quaaa—!!!

My speed as I run through the wall of air is on par with Jin Park Shin, who is said to be the fastest among first-year students.

However, I wasn’t satisfied with this and even used magic.

Whoop-

Quaaa-

Pajijik-

The wind created by wind magic pushes your back.

By fire magic, it emits flames and accelerates.

At the same time, the body is forcibly activated with brain magic to increase speed.

Ugh-

My legs screamed due to excessive reinforcement, but I forcibly suppressed it using divine magic.

My speed has already increased to the point where it is difficult to recognize the field of view unless you have superhuman senses.

“……!”

After running for about 1-2 minutes, a fork appeared in the distance.

At the current rate, it will be within seconds.

Diring!

『’The Crossroads of Choice’.

If you choose the wrong path, there is a gimmick that will return you to the entrance, so be careful.

In one of the bricks between the crossroads, there is a hidden hint that tells you which direction is the right path.』

A part of the strategy that popped out in front of my eyes.

If it’s as described in the strategy guide, you’ll have to stop and look closely to find hints, but….

‘You don’t have to… !’

Poof-!

I turned right without hesitation.

A golden arrow was floating in front of me as I ran without slowing down.

‘ Is divine and invincible!’

All I have to do is just rush forward while watching the arrow in front of me.

Poof-! Swish-! Swish-!

Two roads, three roads, four roads…… The number of cases is constantly increasing, but I went ahead without hesitation.

Soon after passing through the fork in the twenty, a new space appeared.

A vast cliff spreads out in front of you.

It was a gigantic cliff that was several kilometers away from the other side that could be seen in the distance.

And I could see hundreds of transparent scaffoldings floating between the cliffs at regular intervals.

Diring!

『’Stool of agony’.

There are a total of 500 scaffoldings of 5 horizontal lines and 100 vertical rows. The moment you choose the wrong scaffolding, you return to the first scaffolding due to the twisted space law.

The only hint to determine the correct platform is that if you stand on the platform for more than 30 seconds, the next platform will flash for an instant.

However, the time limit for this dungeon is from midnight to 01:00, when the unknown defense and alert functions are activated.

As soon as 01 o’clock passes, this space is closed, and users are forcibly evicted. It is recommended to use hints from the middle to save time by indiscriminately drilling through the first part without hints.”

Such information appeared before my eyes, but this time I did not slow down and jumped in without hesitation.

Damn-Damn-Damn-

‘1,3,4,2,4…… !’

As soon as I stepped on the step, the next one glowed golden. A leg that stretched out as soon as it recognized it.

The body, which moved forward without stopping once, reached the other side in an instant.

It took only 10 seconds for me to pass the ‘Stool of Anguish’, which other users said would take at least 20 minutes.

I took the watch out of my pocket.

‘Other users’ best record is 32 minutes…. Now my record is… ‘

2 Minutes and 57 seconds!

It was an overwhelming record. At this level, even an S-class should be able to aim.

I looked at the ‘altar’ in front of me without hiding my joy.

‘This is….’

What was in front of me was a small altar several meters high. And ‘that’ on top of the altar is the hidden piece I was aiming for this time.

I lifted ‘it’ from the altar.

Pounding- Pounding-

It was a spotless, ‘pure white egg’. Quite large eggs, enough to fill both hands.

The warmth felt in the palm of my hand and the weak heartbeat told me that the life inside was alive.

This is the true identity of this Hidden Peace, the ‘Spiritual Egg’.

Geeing-!

The moment Al and I came into contact, I felt as if Al and my ‘soul’ were connected.

Following that connected line, the magic from the egg flowed into me. At the same time, a part of my magical power also flowed into the egg.

──!!!

Along the line, Al’s emotions were vividly felt in the magic that flowed in. The kind of emotion you feel…. It was great joy, great trust in me, and affection.

A torrent of emotions that makes my heart feel sore without even realizing it. As a reward, I mixed magical power with positive emotions and poured them into eggs.

──!!!!!

An egg that eats my magical energy while being happy. The line between me and I gradually became thicker and stronger.

An infinite virtuous cycle that sends that joy back to me, and I also put my emotions back into magic. How much did it do

A lot of time passed, and the moment when the line between Al and me became so thick that it could not be broken.

Damn it—

The egg started to crack.

Shake- Shake-

Break-Break-

Now you can hear the shell cracking as it wobbles as if it is about to hatch.

‘What kind of child will come out… ?’

In the strategy guide, it is said that each child is born with a different appearance. What does this child look like? Dog? Cat? Fox? Bird? Lion? Dragon? Any look would be nice.

I was watching the egg carefully with anticipation.

Awesome——!!!

With the loudest sound so far, a crack is carved across the egg….

‘Youngsoo’ jumped out of it.

───!!!!!

Youngsoo let out a roar of birth.

Looking at Yeongsu like that, my face was full of doubts.

“……What is this?”
