Skill Fusion
– Kim Jin-seong, why he is the legendary ‘absorption ability’
This is the title of a video posted on an iTube channel called ‘Survival Expert’.
‘Survival Expert’ was very famous as a channel that specialized in covering issues and participants of the Colosseum Survival Program.
Thanks to sharp analysis, the number of video views is also very high, and among them, the video related to Kim Jin-seong had an especially high number of views.
The number of views of this video currently playing on the monitor was over 2.5 million.
[···If you look even now, you can see him using the same skill right after killing a participant who uses the skill to hide in the shadows.
In addition, he transformed into an animal immediately after killing Yoon A-ram, and used the Mana Hawk skill immediately after killing Hwang Yun-taek, who was famous for his 1-1 defense…]
“······.”
Kim Jin-seong is silently watching the video with a stern expression.
Jinseong Kim moved the mouse and increased the video playback speed to 1.5x. She wanted to quickly watch the video.
[···And not only my skills, but my physical abilities also became noticeably stronger within a week. This can be seen as a growth trend that is impossible without absorbing the physical abilities of the deceased…]
“···It was analyzed perfectly.”
As the video neared its end, Jinseong Kim spoke quietly to himself.
He scrolled down to check the comments.
There were as many as 20,000 comments. In general, the comments were full of admiration for Kim Jin-seong’s abilities.
– It’s a crazy ability.
– I didn’t grow so much in a week for no reason…
– Isn’t this the greatest ability ever?
– Hey, not that bad!
‘···This reaction is not important.’
Jinseong Kim moved his gaze to the right side of the video. Numerous Colosseum-related videos brought up by the algorithm caught his eye.
The problem was that most of the videos were about Kim Jin-seong analyzing his own performance.
‘At this level, there will be no one among the participants who does not know my abilities.’
In fact, the skills he mainly used in the first round of the preliminaries, such as ‘shadow hiding’ and ‘disguise self-immolation’, should now be considered to be known to all the surviving participants.
‘It’s clear that everyone will prepare for my skills before going into survival.’
Since the skills he had were revealed, it was obviously a disadvantageous situation.
While all participants know almost all of Kim Jin-seong’s abilities, it is nearly impossible for Kim Jin-seong to search and find out all the abilities of the nearly 1,200 other participants on his own.
The other person knows me, but I don’t know the other person? In a battle between hunters where life and death are at stake, there will be no greater penalty than that.
‘The only way is to create variables by acquiring new skills in the field.’
The best countermeasure is to change your skills by defeating villains and monsters on the day of the game.
‘The problem is that it would be a shame to change the skills I currently have…’
Jinseong Kim enlarged the personal status window floating in the right corner of his field of vision.
Then the list of skills I currently possess came to mind.
※ Current skills possessed
– Unobstructable Charge
– Hiding in the shadows
– Transformation and self-immolation
– invalidate
– Baldo
– Animal transformation
– Petrification Powder
– Mana Hawk
– Teleport
– [doesn’t exist]
Currently, all of the 10 skill slots are full of useful skills, except that one is empty.
‘Mana Hawk’ was a good skill for scouting very far away without Jinseong Kim himself moving, and the ‘Teleport’ skill, which can teleport multiple people at once, may also come in handy again at some point.
Like when we moved as a group over the barrier in Zone 2 during the first round of the preliminaries.
‘···No matter how I look at it, there is no skill worth throwing away. So, is this the only way?’
Kim Jin-seong’s gaze went to the bottom of the enlarged personal status window.
▶ Your Vis Creama points have exceeded 5,000.
▶ Using Vis Creama Points, you can create a new skill by fusing two skills you have.
▶ When using ‘Skill Fusion’, the two existing skills used as materials will disappear.
▶ When using ‘Skill Fusion’, 5,000 Vis Crimea points are consumed. Would you like to add it?
These reminders were things that came to mind when I was inhaling Maggi from the root of Porgynei during the first round of the preliminaries.
The points he currently holds are around 5,400. In other words, this is the amount that can be used for one ‘skill fusion’.
‘If you use this, you can get one more skill slot.’
‘Skill fusion’ is the ability to create one superior skill by consuming two skills as materials. In other words, you can naturally obtain one empty skill slot.
‘The problem is what to merge…’
Jinseong Kim selected ‘Add skill fusion’ and temporarily selected two skills.
These were the attack skill ‘Baldo’ and the permanent storage skill ‘Neck Cutter’ obtained by killing Fade.
When I selected it, this notification window appeared.
▶ These skills are skills that allow for ‘skill fusion’. When you perform ‘skill fusion’, you gain new skills as follows.
▷ Half Moon Sword: Swing the sword horizontally, causing 400% more damage to enemies within the range. Consumes 250 mana.
▶ When acquiring the ‘Crimoon Sword’ skill, the selected ‘Baldo’ and ‘Neck Cutter’ skills will disappear. Would you like to fuse?
Kim Jin-seong, who read the entire notification window, did not proceed further and removed the notification window in front of his eyes.
‘You shouldn’t use it carelessly because you don’t know what kind of game will be played in the second round of the preliminaries.’

In fact, last season, the game format for the second round of the preliminary round was ‘maze escape.’
At this time, a really lucky participant passed the maze without encountering any other participants or monsters.
If the second round of this preliminary round was to be that way, it would have been better to obtain a reconnaissance-style fusion skill rather than an attack skill.
‘Let’s choose the skills to combine on the second day of the preliminary round. Anyway, I’ve analyzed what kind of fusion skills you can get.’
It’s already been a month since I passed the first round of the preliminary round.
In the meantime, I continued to research what kind of convergence skills I could develop during my spare time at the dorm.
As a result, we have now reached a level where all possible fusion skills come to mind just by looking at the skill name in the status window.
Ugh~!
At that time, the smartphone on the desk where the computer was placed began to vibrate.
Smartphones were provided to participants by the Colosseum.
Jinseong Kim confirmed that the caller’s name was ‘Colosseum Participant Management Office’ and immediately answered the phone.
“hello.”
[You are Kim Jin-seong, right? You can use the private training room from 2 p.m. Would you like to use it?]
“yes.”
[Then, I will send an employee in 10 minutes. Please prepare to go out by then.]
“yes.”
After hanging up the phone, Jinseong Kim got up from his chair and walked into the bedroom where the closet was.
The accommodation he is currently staying in is much larger than the studio apartment he stayed in before the first round of the preliminary round began.
There was a separate bedroom and a terrace where you could breathe in the outside air.
Of course, escaping from the terrace was close to impossible.
The entire building is covered with a thick magic circle of electricity, and most of all, it is impossible to use mana or skills at all due to the special anklets for hunters worn on the participants’ ankles.
“The weather is really nice today…”
Kim Jin-seong, who was looking at the beautiful forest scenery outside the window, raised his head and looked at the sky.
The sun felt unusually warm today.

“The absorption capacity seems to be correct.”
Baek Jun answered Tak Nam-gyu’s question.
“Even in internal meetings, we inferred that everyone seemed to have absorptive capacity.”
“I’m saying that’s not accurate.”
“Because a program that can test awakening ability has not yet been developed. And when asked, only a few participants are honest about their abilities.”
“Of course.”
To speak honestly about one’s awakening ability, which is like a hidden card, in this harsh world is like saying that one does not want to live long.
“If you really have the ability to absorb, I think it’s the best ability I’ve ever known. is not it?”
“It’s probably not something that can be absorbed 100%. “Considering that I didn’t use all of the skills of the opponent I killed during the preliminaries.”
“But it seems like more than 50% is absorbed. “That alone is a huge hit, right?”
“That’s right.”
“What do you think?”
Soon, Tak Nam-gyu asked Baek Jun a question with many meanings.
“That guy Jinseong Kim, does his buds look green?”
Tak Nam-gyu is in a position to command all hunters in Korea.
The bright talent he wants must not simply possess excellent skills.
Not only does he have a naturally strong body, but he also has the sincerity to constantly strive to improve his abilities and a strong mentality to keep his cool in any combat situation.
And even the temperament of a fighter who can demonstrate brilliant wit at the crossroads of life and death.
Only a talented person who has all of these things can say that he is green in front of Tak Nam-gyu.
“yes.”
And now, Baekjun answered Tak Namgyu that Kim Jinseong is a talent who meets all the criteria.
Tak Nam-gyu burst out in exclamation at Baek Jun’s answer, which is difficult to hear.
“Oh… that much?”
“It is difficult to judge hastily, but looking at what he has shown so far, I have no choice but to answer yes.”
“okay? “If you say that, don’t you mean there’s something else to it than what you showed in the preliminaries?”
Baek Jun answered Tak Nam-gyu’s question honestly.
“Do you know the training room in the Colosseum?”
“know. This is a place that can be used after the first round of preliminaries is over, right? “I heard they spar with the employees there.”
“you’re right. “It was created with the goal of maintaining one’s fighting spirit by sparring with much stronger staff before the second round of the preliminaries begins.”
“What level of staff did you say?”
“If you are fully armed, you will go up to at least A level.”
“It’s Class A… “If you’re at that level, you’ll never be able to beat a Colosseum participant.”
Baekjun nodded at Tak Namgyu’s words.
“you’re right. But there are always exceptions.”
“exception? Oh yeah. “I heard that Yoo Jun-ho beat all the employees he sparred with in the past.”
Even after Tak Nam-gyu finished answering, Baek Jun only smiled meaningfully and did not reply.
Tak Nam-gyu noticed that immediately.
“···Surely, Kim Jin-seong too?”
* * *
“Oops!”
Craddangtang!
With a groan, a fully armed employee flew to the corner of the training hall and fell down with a loud noise.
He was unable to get up for a long time in pain, holding on to the area where the CSS letters were drawn.
“Ugh…!”
“Are you okay?”
Kim Jin-seong came over and looked down at him and asked.
The employee raised his hand and answered.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I just couldn’t breathe for a moment… Ugh.”
The employee who forced himself to get up was still frowning heavily as if he was in pain.
Kim Jin-seong, seeing that, shook his head.
“The sparring ends here. “I don’t think any more than this will help either of us.”
“···Let’s stop?”
“yes. Thank you for your effort Just in case, go get treatment quickly.”
At Kim Jin-seong’s words, the employee slowly turned and walked toward the exit with an expression that seemed to reluctantly end the situation.
Even as he opened the door, he didn’t forget to warn.
“You must not leave the training room for the remaining time! know? In the hallway outside…”
“You mean more than 30 employees are on tight guard?”
Jinseong Kim interrupted the employee and spoke instead.
I had heard the words so loudly that my ears were sticking to them for a month, and now I was at a level where I could say them perfectly without making a single mistake.
“Don’t worry, just go. “I have to practice more during the remaining time.”
As Kim Jin-seong continued, the employee seemed to have nothing more to say and immediately opened the door and left the training room.
As soon as the door closed, Kim Jin-seong’s eyes changed.
