Murim Login - Chapter 10

Chapter 10
Translation Note: Jin Huikyung will be referred to as the ‘Leader’ or ‘Clan Leader’, while their father will be referred to as the ‘Patriarch’, who is above the Leader or the Clan Leader. The previous chapters will be edited to reflect this change. Sorry about the confusion!
After walking for several minutes, they arrived at a cliff, located at the rear of the Jin residence. And in front of the entrance stood a person.

“Mmh. Have you come?”

With a build like a brown bear and a stern voice. It was Jin Huikyung. I awkwardly lowered my head.

“Hello, hyung… nim.”

Jin Huikyung was an uncomfortable existence. Not only did I suddenly get an NPC who was my family but he also had a lot of interest in me.

Look at him, just look at how much effort he is putting in so that others won’t notice. But if you looked closely, you could see his glistening eyes.

‘Is his sensitivity real.’

Outwardly he looked like he could be the head of the Triad, so why were all the game characters like this.

“I can no longer tolerate your behavior as the Leader of this family and so you have been ordered to be locked up. Do you have any last words?”

‘Of course I do.’

But it was about playing a secret deal. I heard the ongoing situation from Hui Peng on the way to the training facility. About the power struggle happening inside the Jin family, and Jin Huikyung’s role as a shield for my behavior.

So me getting locked up, was basically all a show.

And master, didn’t you say you needed space to train anyways? Just be patient for three days.

Remembering Hui Peng’s last words to me, I pretended like I was reflecting and lowered my head.

“I will accept my punishment.”

The benefits to this play were that my lines were short. Jin Huikyung stared woefully at me and said his last lines.

“Lock the offender into the training facility. I shall notify you of your public appearance later.”

As he finished speaking, two warriors grabbed my arms on either side. Now that the play ended, it was time to send me off.

I stood in the entrance of the training facility.

– I left items you needed. Youngest, don’t overdo it too much.

—

The training room was basically a cavern. Not only that but it was a man-made cave. High and wide. And wet.

Splash, splash.

I wonder how far I’ve walked with the warriors. At the point where I wasn’t sure whether the shoes I wore were leather or wet rags, I saw a huge iron gate.

‘Wow…’

My mouth opened at the sight. Rather than a door to enter through, it looked like a wall we weren’t allowed to access.

The warriors who brought me here, raised their torches and shouted.

“Open the door!”

Gghhh-1

The large iron gate opened slowly. It wasn’t like this was a magic trick, an NPC who stood waiting was using a device to open the door but still, it was an amazing sight.

And the minute my eyes saw what was inside.

“Whoa.”

Even I couldn’t help but exclaim.

When I first entered the training facility, I thought it would just be another wet cave…

“What is all this.”

A wide bed and a fur blanket that made me happy just looking at it. And rather than wet grounds, instead it was a clean gray floor.

‘Cement… of course it’s not, maybe it’s limestone?’

Except the cold air, no considering the cold air, it was better than what I was thinking.

‘This is locked up?’

As I was staring at my surroundings, at my back someone coughed. I turned around and saw the warriors who guided me here.

“Everything you need has been left here for you. Then I shall leave.”

Kung. As I looked at the door slowly closing, I remembered the words from the entrance.

I left the items you need. Youngest, don’t overdo it too much.

Ah, his warm hearted NPC feelings for his dongsaeng.

This foolish user is crying.

—

In reality, this would have happened numerous times. Corrupt high ranking officials in a wheelchair, in and out of prosecution, and in order to evade sentences, being admitted into a hospital.

Even though it was slightly different, that was me right now. With a face that looked touched, I looked around the training facility.

“So this is what it means to be a gold spoon.”

Graphics, the artificial intelligence wasn’t real life. But it left a message that basically said that gold-spoons were the best.

Geez, what would I have done if it wasn’t for this character. My father was the Patriarch, my oldest hyung was the Clan Leader, and my second hyung was a Mugong genius. I could understand why I was a regular at brothels.

‘Jin Taekyung this guy…’

Thinking about it, he was a wise man for realizing how the world worked at a young age.

I walked around the training facility. And I was able to find the items I needed.

‘First food.’

The food was stored in two jars. Looking into them, they were food balls that smelt strongly of medicine.

[Excellent Medicinal Pills]
Type: 단환2
Rank: First-Rate
Description: A pill stuffed idiotically with all kinds of good ingredients. Regain energy when ingested, if many are consumed, additional effects may be gained.
“Ah, these are those medicinal pills?”

I’ve seen these before in martial art novels. They were light and small, so they were comfortable to carry. Not only that but they worked as supplementary nutrition. The other jar was full of pills too.

‘First, I’ll just put them in my inventory.’

Grabbing them in both hands, I muttered.

‘Acquire Item.’

If someone saw me like this, they would be surprised. Pills that were in my hands, suddenly disappeared.

I looked at the pills sitting in my inventory happily.

‘With this my food problem is taken care of.’

Next was the second item I found that I needed. As I looked around the training facility, there was a cold pool of water in the corner. That took care of my drinking water problem.

And lastly, the third.

“Hmm.”

Numerous weapons laying side by side. Of course, the first weapon I grabbed was a firm looking wooden spear.

‘Identify Item.’

Ring.

[Wooden Spear for Training]
Type: Weapon
Rank: Third Rate
Description: Made for a beginner.
“Oh.”

A wooden spear made for a beginner. For me right now, it was the perfect item. I only needed one more thing for it to be perfect.

“Open Inventory.”

I smirked and grabbed the [Jin Family Spear Technique].

Ring.

Would you like to acquire [Jin Family Spear Technique]? (3 / 10)
“Of course yes.”

I really liked the system. Sometimes it was lovable.

—

I realized something after learning the Jin Family Footwork. That the system didn’t only have one type of ‘ring’ sound.

And how much I hated hearing it.

Bik!

– Movement failed.
– Number of Successes (2 / 100)
The failure message. If I heard a ‘bik’ sound, then that system window would pop up every time. I don’t know how many times I’ve already looked at that message.

I looked at the [Wooden Spear for Training] in my hand.

‘I thought wrong.’

Maybe because it was a wooden spear, but it was light. Wherever I thrusted, swiped, it moved fast. That was why it was a problem.

‘It’s so light that it’s hard to control.’

The fine movement was too hard to control, so I kept getting it wrong. And there was no way the freaking dirty system would overlook that kind of small mistake.

Bik.

– Movement failed.
– Number of Successes (5 / 100)
“Ah. Fuck.”

In the end, I put back the [Wooden Spear for Training] and grabbed the [Sharp Spear] instead. It felt closer to the length and thickness of the spear I used in reality.

But why didn’t I grab it first?

“It’s too heavy. Really.”

Because it was made of steel, it couldn’t help but be heavy. It felt like it could be 50kg.

If I swiped this spear around, my stamina wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Currently my stage was Second Rate but even if I borrowed the system’s strength, if I swung a spear that weighed as much as half a bag of rice, it was impossible.

‘It’s not like I have the strength of a tiger overflowing somewhere.’

It was when I had that thought.

“…. uh?”

What did I just say right now? The strength of a tiger?

“I have it?”

This place was a game. I had skills because of the system. And I had Qi. Through Qi Cultivation, I had 10 years worth of Qi.

I was embarrassed I forgot even for a minute.

“I would know if I ever used it in the first place…”

They said that only people who ate meat knew. A F rank hunter was an F rank for a reason. I didn’t have mana and fought using my body. Even among hunters I was treated as unwelcome.

‘Still, at least I solved one problem.’

Huu huu, laughing like it was ridiculous, I gripped the spear. And slowly, carefully, I pulled out my Qi.

I rewound the Jin Family Cultivation Technqiue the system imprinted in my head and led my Qi through my pathways.

Jolt.

The reaction was immediate.

The 10 years worth of Qi that was curled up in my dantian spread throughout my whole body. Maybe because it was a game, or because I was a Murim-in3, but I could feel the energy spreading through my four limbs.

“This…”

I could feel the strength overflowing. As a F rank hunter, I could feel my abilities and senses heightening.

‘To think it could be this different.’

I grabbed my spear and started the [Jin Family Spear Technique]. I no longer felt like it was a spear that weighed 50kg, and thrusted my spear through the steps exactly.

Eventually.

Ring.

Number of Successes (6 / 100)
I heard the sound I was waiting for.

—

Jin Huikyung, who had a troubled face, opened his mouth.

“Is he doing well?”

“I’m sure he’s doing well. If he has any conscious.”

“His body isn’t recovered yet… he should be okay right?”

“If someone who didn’t know was hearing this, they would think that the third master was in critical condition. In his body condition, it’ll get better if you put some spit on it.”

“No. You’re only able to say that because you don’t know how weak the youngest was when he was little.”

Hui Peng answered with a cold face.

“He’ll be fine with the spiritual medicine and health supplements provided for him. And did you already forget? His theft of the 100 year old ginseng!”

“Uh huh4. That…”

“The physician was so angry he wanted to cut open the third master’s belly. And to be honest, I even thought this. That even if he cut open his belly, it would be self-defense.”

Jin Huikyung avoided his gaze. In the end, it ended with Jin Huikyung emptying his private funds, but at the time the physician’s anger was impressive.

“If he had that much medicine, he won’t die from minor injuries or illnesses.”

“It’s still not enough. Can’t you tell by just looking? I feel bad every time I look at the youngest. He doesn’t have that much flesh on his bones. And every morning, he’s so weak and feeble that he doesn’t have any strength.”

“You say he doesn’t have strength?”

Hui Peng thought of the rumors he’s heard in the past. That in the red-light district, there were rumors he was known as the King of Night.

‘If it’s that much, how long is it?’

It looked like at least he was receiving one medicine. Without even realizing, Hui Peng lifted his arm and was imagining the size.

“What are you doing?”

“Ah, it’s nothing.”

Jin Huikyung looked at his documents stacked up like a mountain and sighed.

“The youngest too, but there’s too many things to take care of in and out of the Clan. Especially… ‘those people’ that we’ve reluctantly come into contact with.”

“You mean the Mount Heng Sword Sect.”

The Mount Heng Sword Sect. It wasn’t a name to be said lightly.

Dozens of years ago, they rose up at a scary pace, and if it kept going like this, it was enough to make things dangerous.

“What are their intentions?”

“I’m having my subordinates investigate.”

Jin Huikyung fiddled with the Mount Heng Sword Sect correspondence.

Why? What goal did they have by coming here? There was only one conclusion.

“Let all the branches in Shan Xi Providence know. No matter what the Mount Heng Sword Sect goals are, to be ready.”

This was Murim.

Only those that were ready would survive and be ready for tomorrow.
