Acquired the Scam Rune in the Academy Chapter1

I was reincarnated into the novel I enjoyed reading.

It’s a clichéd setup like bone broth.

Unfortunately, it was the reality that hit me.

“Well, you’ve written everything else well…”

“…?”

“Just write down the rune information you possess in this last box.”

“What?”

“The rune. You have to write down the rune you possess to enter the Academy.”

A female employee looked down at me arrogantly.

This was the scene I encountered when I first reincarnated.

At first, I thought I was kidnapped or dreaming.

Waking up, starting reality without much context.

But I was too ordinary to be kidnapped.

And so, I slapped myself hard enough to hurt, and it still wasn’t a dream either.

Only then did the words of the people around me and the female employee reach me.

Rune.

And the Academy.

They were words that appeared in the novel I often read.

So, in a world with runes and the Academy, I suddenly found myself in an unrelated situation, right?

Unknowingly, I nodded my head.

This is a common situation and my future actions were already determined.

In my mind, I quietly shouted, ‘Yes!’

In such situations, I said what everyone shouts ‘Status Window!’.

Wow….

I’ve only seen this in novels.

But now I can see it directly through a hologram.

I could completely feel it.

The novel I frequently read in my original world.

That… I was reincarnated into <Next Rune Holder>.

  Personally, it was a novel I was very satisfied with, and I had no complaints about the plot and I don’t understand why this happened when I didn’t even write a 5,700-character complaint.

But luckily, I can quickly adapt.

It has already happened.

Getting angry or frustrated wouldn’t change anything.

In situations like this, they don’t send you back to reality, do they?

Besides, my ‘Willpower’ stat was at a considerably high level.

A level of mental strength higher than an average person.

It helped me stay calm even in unexpected special situations.

‘Next Rune Holder….’

<Next Rune Holder> is a typical hunter growth story.

Set in a modern fantasy background, based on a game system.

But unlike other game systems,

A unique information called ‘Rune’ determines most of the status window.

Stats, possessed skills, and even ultimate skills.

It controls all the values displayed in the holder information.

That’s what a Rune is.

‘It’s good until there….’

Everything’s fine.

<Next Rune Holder> is a novel that I really enjoyed.

It’s a relief that the sudden reincarnation was this novel.

But the name of the person I was reincarnated as is Do Jae-hyun.

A character I’ve never seen in <Next Rune Holder>.

Yes.

Just like most reincarnation novels.

I, too, have been reincarnated as an extremely ordinary extra, one that no one notices.

Damn it….

“Excuse me, please write down the rune information quickly. Don’t you see someone waiting behind?”

“Ah, sorry. I’m still a bit drowsy. I’ll write it down quickly.”

“I’m so busy, really….”

Give me a break….

I just reincarnated, I’m still not in my right mind.

I quickly opened the <Rune Information>.

All the information in the holder information can be examined in detail.

For example,

<Rune Information>

â—ŽName: Short Sword

â—ŽGrade: Normal

â—ŽLevel: 1

â—ŽEngraved Area: Back of the left hand

â—ŽSpecial Effect: Agility +1

â—ŽDerived Skills: –

â—ŽDetailed Information: Enables proficient use of a short sword.

Like this.

This applies to skills and detailed attributes as well.

It’s concise, but it allows for an intuitive understanding of runes.

I quickly started writing down the rune information on the application form.

I wrote down just the name and level of the rune briefly.

There’s no need to include other specific details.

Since there will be a practical inspection during the entrance exam anyway.

But more importantly, I wanted to get out of here quickly.

Although I adapted with my high mental strength, I still didn’t feel the reality.

I needed some time to look around slowly.

After submitting the application, I turned to leave.

Then I heard murmuring from the female employee behind me.

“…A short sword? Why are you hesitating with such a low-grade rune…?”

Wait, what?

Why does this woman keep picking a fight with me?

Does my current face look too easygoing?

And I can’t easily accept the evaluation of being a low-grade rune.

Just because it’s classified as normal grade doesn’t mean its performance is low.

They say that when you master [Short Sword], you can be an unstoppable assassin….

Of course, it’s true that I was completely lost right after the sudden reincarnation.

I spent a lot of time reading the information and thinking.

Besides, I’m just about to enter the academy…

There’s nothing to gain from causing trouble here.

What’s more important is understanding the reality and my surroundings.

I entered the restroom in the building for a moment.

And I called up the <Holder Information> again.

 

â—ŽName: Do Jae-hyun

â—ŽGender: Male (20)

â—ŽPossessed Rune

[Short Sword Lv.1]

The ability is average because 4 units is the level of a normal person.

Agility and mental strength are slightly higher, while the rest is ordinary.

‘Just an extra….’

Not explosive like the female lead Gang Ju-yeon.

And there’s no tremendous potential like the protagonist Park Jin-woo.

Just an ordinary Rune Holder’s information window.

When you enter the academy, you compete for ranking starting from the bottom.

That was the extent to the information.

‘But….’

The spirit imbued in Do Jae-hyun is extraordinary.

Dedicated reader of <Next Rune Holder>!

Generous sponsor who owned the first volume!

Deeply immersed to the point of purchasing the book set!

I knew more about this world than anyone else.

Major events and developments in the novel.

All the information of Hidden Pieces was in my head.

Of course, I haven’t seen the conclusion.

Before the conclusion, I suddenly possessed someone….

But even with this, an ordinary citizen can survive just fine.

‘This is a world where Runes are everything.’

In <Next Rune Holder>, everything is determined by runes.

Stats, skills, special effects.

And even potential and growth possibilities.

The potential of the runes is the potential of the Rune Holder.

Even a street beggar can have a life-changing experience with good runes.

Although the probability is close to zero.

That’s why I set short-term goals.

To acquire all the Runes I can get right now rather than focusing on growing the existing ones.

Runes can be obtained artificially as long as individuals make an effort.

This is a fact unknown to the public.

I knew the methods of obtaining Runes that people here didn’t know, as I was a reader of the original novel.

I plan to acquire as many Runes as possible before the entrance exam.

Once I have a lot, they will surely be useful somewhere.

“Wasn’t the entrance exam in a month?”

Since I just wrote the application today, that should be about right.

And by then, I could also see Park Jinwoo and Kang Juyeon.

Seeing the main characters I only read about in the novel with my own eyes?

Oh, damn.

I wanted to take the entrance exam as soon as possible.

* * *

Acquiring Runes in <Next Rune Holder> is simple.

Just get chosen.

Whether the Rune is rare or ordinary, all Runes are naturally determined.

Including Park Jinwoo’s [Sweat of the Leader] and Kang Juyeon’s [Unquenchable Flame].

At the moment when they become holders.

Or they are suddenly obtained while growing the Runes.

They weren’t Runes that could be easily obtained just because I wanted them.

But if they are not such special Runes.

Like [Sword] or [Bow], common normal runes.

There are methods that individuals can acquire through their efforts.

It was a hidden piece that other holders didn’t know.

A method of rune acquisition unknown to the world.

“I become familiar with the weight of the wind-cutting sword.”

“I obtained a new Rune.”

“Acquired 1 strength through the nature of the rune.”

“Alright!”

The [Sword] rune was newly engraved on my body.

This time, the condition was repeating the cutting stance 2,001 times.

It was the result of referencing my labored breath and blisters all over.

For basic normal Runes like [Sword], [Bow], [Spear], such conditions determined by hidden pieces can be satisfied to artificially acquire Runes.

Considering that Runes are assets to holders, knowing these methods of acquiring Runes alone was a significant advantage.

<Holder Information>

â—ŽName: Do Jaehyun

â—ŽGender: Male (20)

â—ŽStats

[Strength: 8] [Magic: 2]

[Agility: 7] [Divinity: 1]

[Endurance: 4] [Mental: 7]

[Spear Lv.1] [Cooking Lv.1] [Sprint Lv.1] [Sword Lv.1]

â—ŽOwned Skills-:

 

â—ŽUltimate Skill

A month ago.

A completely different status window from when I was ignored by the employees.

I had obtained seven additional Runes, and as a result, various stats had evenly increased.

There were various hidden pieces to artificially acquire Runes.

Like just now, repeating the cutting stance 2,001 times.

Or shooting 1,880 arrows into the air.

Or consistently running a certain distance at a certain speed for a month.

“…This is insane.”

Methods that normal people could never imagine.

But as a passionate reader of the novel, I remembered them.

Thanks to that, I was able to acquire all the basic Runes in about a month.

“I already have eight Runes.”

Honestly, I don’t know if this will help with my growth.

Naturally, the rune I was chosen for was [Dagger], which ultimately means I have talent for assassination or throwing.

But I couldn’t ignore the stats obtained from the Runes.

A strength of 4 from [Blunt Weapon], [Axe], [Spear], and [Sword].

An agility of 2 from [Bow] and [Sprint].

And a mental stat of 1 from [Cooking].

With just these, my efforts of a month had already paid off.

And as I initially thought, it wouldn’t hurt to have many runes in my possession.

There are no specific limitations on acquiring runes as a holder.

“…Huh?”

But at that moment.

My new runes registered in <Holder Information>.

From [Blunt Weapon] to [Sword], the runes began to sparkle suddenly.

A dazzling light that could fill the status window completely.

Soon, it turned golden.

New information windows appeared.

Completely different from the ordinary information windows of previous battles, they were unique special information windows.

Golden information windows.

“Amazing Achievement! You have obtained the ‘Runes,’ which are the exclusive possession of the chosen ones, through your own strength. As someone who has obtained seven runes by fulfilling challenging conditions, you can be called a Rune Hunter without any shortcomings.”

“I obtained a new rune.”

<Rune Information>

â—ŽName: Rune Hunter

â—ŽRank: Epic

â—ŽLevel: Max

â—ŽEngraved Location: Heart

â—ŽSpecial Effect

: After winning a duel, you can replicate one of the opponent’s runes. You can only replicate one rune for the same target, and the acquired rune is registered with decreased performance due to a lower level.

â—ŽDerived Skill: –

â—ŽAdditional Information

: A rune that can be obtained by individuals through their efforts artificially acquiring seven runes. Once someone obtains it, it becomes a unique rune that cannot be obtained again.

“…What is this?”

I stared blankly at the information window.

My thoughts couldn’t keep up with the sudden phenomenon.

Something I had never seen before.

An abnormal epic rune called [Rune Hunter].

It was too easily in my hands.

    Nice, this is the start I wanted, thanks for translatimg this, hopefully it keeps being good

  2. Greedsmith says:

    Ooh, reminds me of Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist.
    Let’s hope it’s at least half as good as that masterpiece was.

  3. Greedsmith says:

    I only have one question and this will change EVERYTHING.
    Does the copied rune have a lower level or a lower rank? Because you can increase the level, but not the rank.

  4. Greedsmith says:

    Another question that will also change everything.
    Can he choose which rune to copy or is it random?
