Mr. Main Character's? Tools. Like a little bomb that he can launch and explode.

These losers don't even have dignity and they're just whining and hoping it works. "Please stop the bloodbath." Okay, go solve your extra corrupted emperor and get rid of the inverse sky cult, you imbecile.

THIS IS A WAR! MAN! There's no time for stupid questions!
Standing around being like "you're evil! You're horrible!" because your enemy is killing your allies is beyond stupid. Would you just present your head as an apology if it happened to you? No? Didn't think so. You're just a powerless soldier who is definitely gonna die.

Fear the old man in an occupation everyone dies young.

To address Northz's comment: logically and realistically speaking, poison is... well, poison. Unlike building immunity to common pathogens, the body often struggles to develop a specific immune response against poisons due to their complex chemical structures and direct cellular damage they can cause.

Also, Mr. Main Character is young. This fact is not overlooked by literally every idiot in the past... how many chapters? So his struggle against the poison will last longer than most people might expect, despite the war.

Or so they think.

When the only thing you can do is tricks, you will break in the face of real power.

If war threatens death from one end - and on the other end is a trickster offering a hand, don't take that hand if you're worried about it pushing you to your death faster.

The correct way to look at this situation is the fact that you were a victim, a tool. You were taught a certain way to be brainwashed and tricked into obedience. You were told specific truths so you can swing your sword in a way they wanted.

Now that you know the truth, you can get off the path they force you on -> and start on your own path.

Dude, they didn't attack that guy because they're evil. They attacked that guy because he's disrespecting them when he's nothing more than a prisoner of war. He lost. His life is forfeit. Under no circumstance can he look down on them -> and yet he was doing that. Even if they killed him, it wouldn't have been "an evil act of violence that the demonic cult does" or whatever -> because frankly, the orthodox cults are the same.

The guy is clever. He's keeping his mind open and remaining humble. It's really not that hard to just keep the basic idea of "there's always a bigger fish" in the back of your head.

I'm kinda glad that he remembered them despite everything. As far as excuses go, "I had to lead a war" is a pretty good one.

Do not attack the messenger unless you intend to declare war. Do not declare war unless you're sure you will win. Do not be sure you win unless you have the intel to prove it. Do not attempt to prove it if intelligence was your dump stat.

Fuzzy hair with hidden eyes. Is he gonna be the strongest of the group?

Poor girl never learned the truth.

Novel stuff: Discussing titles and their effects. Skaya, for example, when she created magic for the first time, got a title "Mage's First Steps" which gave her +15 to her magic stat.
This is relevant to how Seo Jun-ho's magic stat was always his lowest one -> but now he has to raise it.

Otherwise, this chapter is on point. It's just missing the fact that 9 doctors saw Specter's face and Deok-gu has subordinates who can erase their memories.

Finally! What's the next class?!

Missing info the novel gives: There was a level cap of 80, which Specter was at. Unlocking the new floor (floor 2) raised it to 120.

Deok-gu gives Seo Jun-ho a Vita, the watch-looking thingy, and explains it. Also, he gives him access to see his friends' frozen statues via registering his iris. Eye scanner technology! Lastly, money. Vita got money and he got a stack of cash.

Seo Jun-ho uses the hospital's back elevator as Deok-gu distracts the press and just... wanders around. Funny moment as there are no more taxi drivers as they're self-driving. Seeing the people enjoy the peace around the museum and how a kid is whining loudly about wanting a Specter mask. Fun fact: all 5 heroes got masks and Skaya's mask is the most popular and Specter is 4th best.

Seo Jun-ho eventually gets to his friends and has a moment... internally asking if it is okay for him to rest, but doesn't say it out loud. Rest of the chapter is pretty on-point.
