I Woke Up as the Villain

ther label on the market.
In actual fact, the drink was no different from the gray one.

In fact, the term ‘dark gray-colored’ was not the existing rank of the mana stone in the first place.
After Yu-Seong figured out the reason, he immediately started to drink the red mana drink the next day, since it was higher than the gray-colored one.
Although it was only one rank higher, the red-colored mana drinks had a market price of 100 million won.
Compared to the 10 million won gray-colored mana drink, it was ten times more expensive, and more than three times more expensive than the 30 million won dark gray-colored mana drink.

At this point, it was a huge luxury that could never be done without the background of a conglomerate.
However, Yu-Seong didn ’t think of it as a waste of money, since it was for his survival and to not easily lose the precious ones around him.
In fact, Yu-Seong ’s amount of Chakra had increased significantly compared to before the hospitalization.

Chakra: 745 → 803

‘It ’s a little over 800.’ 

Currently, Yu-Seong’s priority target was the Chakra ’s absolute quantity of 1,000.

’The most mana consuming skill I have now is the Dancing Electric Doll.’ 

As a result of the experiment, the Dancing Electric Doll consumed about 200 mana per use.
Therefore, Yu-Seong could only use up to three Dancing Electric Dolls.
He could invoke it the fourth time, but the remaining Chakra, commonly called mana, would become zero.

Even if the fourth Dancing Electric Doll was activated using exactly 800 mana points, it would be meaningless if there was not enough left to continue the next battle.
Thus, the first goal was to increase Yu-Seong’s Chakra points to 1000.

For reference, while searching for his growth, Choi Yu-Seong found an interesting overseas website where an individual posted a comparative analysis of the virtual battle results, mana points, properties, and the rankings of world famous powerful hunters or rookies for fun.

The homepage listed data on top rankers or equivalents, such as China ’s Lin Xiao Nuo—the Flame Emperor, Sweden ’s Timewalker Christian, and Korea ’s Swordmaster Chuck Jun-Hui, as well as names of Kim Do-Jin and Bernard Yoo being classified as super rookies.
Surprisingly, Yu-Seong’s name was also in the list with the word ‘New’, although it was below the others.

‘I assume that the name was added after clearing the Goblin Fortress Dungeon…’

The most surprising thing was that this website’s owner wrote down Yu-Seong ’s estimated magic at the time quite accurately.

‘710…’ 

At that time, Yu-Seong did not know exactly how much his mana was because he did not have the skill of God ’s Chakra at that time.
However, estimating it now, it would be about in the low 700s.
Though this was only known because he could physically check his system interface window.
The website’s owner guessed Choi Yu-Seong ’s mana possession quite accurately even without such information.

It could be just a coincidence.
Still, Yu-Seong couldn ’t help but be interested to move forward.
Naturally, he looked at the top rankers’ D-rank records written by the website’s owner.
There were two hunters who stood out exceptionally in terms of the amount of mana they had: it was the Flame Emperor and the Timewalker.

‘Both of them are psychic-type players.’

According to the website’s owner, the amount of mana the two had before the 50th level of the D-rank was about 1,600 to 1,800.
They were huge numbers, as expected for the top rankers.
Even so, the two were actually overwhelming.
For the other top rankers, there were few people with more than 1,000 mana in the low-level section of the D-rank.

If Choi Yu-Seong, who was an all-rounder type player who had more than 1000 mana points, he might be more overwhelmed among the same ranked players when compared by overall integration capabilities.
In fact, in the case of Lin Xiao Nuo, the Flame Emperor, the mana level itself was quite high, but in other physical ability levels, it was extremely low.

‘So, his standard score of the D-rank given by the website’s owner is 8.3 points out of 10.’

For reference, Choi Yu-Seong ’s score at the time of Goblin Fortress Dungeon was tied at 8.3.
He was ranked 7th in terms of the current D-rank hunters.

‘And for Kim Do-Jin… His record when he was D-rank is 8.9 points, ranking first place.
And he’s currently third place in the C-rank rankings with 9.2 points.
Is this for real?’

Kim Do-Jin’s score was overwhelmingly higher than Yu-Seong’s even without revealing his magic skills to the public.
If the website’s owner was correct, Kim Do-Jin’s power could also be regarded as a great outstanding ability of the main character.

‘Bernard Yoo scored 8.8 points.
Is he second place among the active D-rank players?’

Of course, Yu-Seong didn ’t forget to check the evaluation of the person who he had to compete in the dungeon racing game after a while.
It was exactly the same evaluation score as Kim Do-Jin of D-rank.

Currently, Bernard Yoo’s score was 0.5 points higher than Choi Yu-Seong’s.
Obviously, this score was not absolute.
The website’s owner, who recorded it for personal fun in the first place, also said that the results could vary significantly depending on the situation and environment, and that it could change sufficiently depending on the time and rank.

‘First of all, if my Chakra exceeds 1000, it would change significantly.’ 

Choi Yu-Seong ’s potential would become much higher just by using the powerful attack skill, the Dancing Electric Doll, once more.

For ordinary hunters, the process of achieving 1000 mana points would be quite rough.
However, it was a quite reachable goal for Choi Yu-Seong, who could drink the red-colored mana drinks from tomorrow and even perform the Chakra breathing methods.

On the day of his discharge, Choi Yu-Seong went to the dungeon and contacted the two reporters who could drive the magic tech drones, Park Jin-Hwan and Kim Jin-Young, and asked them to sign a three-month-long contract with him.

The work of those reporters would not be much different compared to when they worked in the media.
However, from now on, whenever Choi Yu-Seong went to the dungeon in the future, they had ro film accordingly.
Since then, it had been the job of the two to post the filming to each media company, portal sites, and NewTube.
