"Did you learn it?" Piaro asked, looking at Alan eagerly.
"I did," Alan nodded with a smile.
For the first time since entering this world, he finally had proper attack skills. Until now, most of his fighting relied on raw stats and a handful of uncommon skills. Unlike other combat classes, his Blacksmith class had no dedicated combat skill tree—forcing him to fight with improvised techniques and brute force.
But that had changed.
Now, he had a foundation.
A true sword art.
As the realization settled, a new window materialized before him.
[ New Quest Generated ]
[ Legacy of Pagma – Part 2 ]
[ Pagma's Sword Dance consists of more than just the five moves you have learned ]
[ Learn the remaining Sword Dances of Pagam ]
[ Quest Rewards: A Skill from the Pagma Descendant Class ]
[ Time Limit: None ]
"Pagma Descendant class skill…? That means there is a class called Pagma Descendant…"
Alan's eyes widened—of course, he was acting.
He already knew.
Or rather, he suspected.
Morpheus, the supercomputer, was definitely observing him—and he was right. Just not entirely.
The Legacy of Pagam was a special quest line, one that had the potential to unlock the class itself. That was precisely why, the moment the quest updated, Morpheus informed the entire Satisfy development team.
Right now, all eyes were on Alan.
"What do you think his chances of obtaining the Pagma Descendant class are?" Lim Cheolho asked calmly.
Morpheus responded instantly.
[ Currently, if he focuses solely on finding the remaining Sword Dances, his probability of success is 68.9% ]
Lim Cheolho nodded slowly.
A legendary class… he thought.
If he really gets it… he might become the first player in history to do so.
Unknown to him, it will be someone else who will get the class.
Alan, on the other hand, looked at the quest window for a moment before closing it.
"Okay. Now I'm ready to get the second part of the Legacy," he muttered.
Piaro clearly wanted to fight him, but he restrained himself and instead followed after Alan.
Both of them jumped into the pond.
From the inside, it was vast.
Alan's eyes widened as he looked around. Countless underwater caves spread out in all directions, forming a labyrinth that looked no different from Kesan Canyon—except this entire world existed beneath the water.
"Woah… it's a whole world under the water," Alan said.
Piaro nodded quietly.
[ You have discovered the Merman Lair ]
[ You are the first discoverer of this dungeon ]
[ For the next 7 days, EXP gain and drop rate will be significantly increased ]
Alan looked at the notifications and grinned.
"Hehe, another reward," he said, moving deeper toward the lower layers.
The moment the mermen noticed him, their expressions twisted with fury.
"How dare the killer of royalty come after us without fear?!"
"Kill him! Eat him alive—and his companion too!"
The mermen shouted as they rushed forward. Alan could clearly hear their words now. Their curses were crude and vicious.
"Ugly human!"
"Not even blue!"
"How dare a land-dweller enter our domain?!"
It was as if, in their eyes, they were the beautiful ones—and humans were the hideous creatures.
Alan glanced at the fifty or so mermen charging toward him and smiled.
Dialseif's power surged.
"Come," Alan said calmly, lifting his blade.
"My precious EXP."
He swung Dialseif in a wide arc, releasing a Golden Flash that tore through the water like a blazing crescent.
The Golden Flash ripped through the water like a blazing crescent.
The front line of mermen didn't even have time to scream before their bodies were cleaved apart, dissolving into streams of light and bubbles. Blood tinted the water briefly before being washed away by the current.
Alan didn't stop.
He moved.
With every step forward, another merman fell.
They were strong by ordinary standards—elite warriors of the underwater domain—but to Alan, they felt painfully slow.
He had already slain their king before his massive stat increase and before enhancing Dialseif. Now, with his stats raised, his weapon enhanced to +8, and his overall combat power refined—
They never stood a chance.
