Chapter 26: His Choice
Proof-reader: TheMonitor
“What’s the time?”
Soo Hyuk suddenly wondered as he snapped out of his thoughts . It was well past his usual log out time .
“Wait . ”
Soo Hyuk realised as he looked at the time .
“I don’t have to decide now . Let’s decide tomorrow . ”
There was no time limit, so he didn’t have to decide now . After deciding to choose tomorrow, he logged out of Pangea .
“Should I ask Yeon Jung?”
Soo Hyuk muttered as he climbed out of his capsule . Should he call him and get advice from the Midranker, Yeon Jung?
“Right, there’s also blogs on the internet . ”
Yeon Jung was a Midranker, but he was also a warrior who didn’t deal with much magic . Soo Hyuk felt that it was good to listen to some suggestions from people on the internet .
“Which attribute will be popular?”
Sitting in front of his computer, Soo Hyuk searched up the official Pangea homepage . Then, in the search bar he searched ‘Single attribute’ .

Title: I want to go for a single attribute but what should I choose?
Posted by: BuyTheLaw
Hello, I’m BuyTheLaw . I want to go for a single attribute run and was wondering what to choose . I heard that doubling or tripling blocks your progress at the beginning, so I want to stick with one attribute .
What attributes are the best? I’m thinking Healing or Fire . What do you think?
Replies:
– IAmTheThief123: Healing’s good! There are too few good healers! When partying, having at least one healer is the way to go!
– MagicalFairy2: @IAmTheThief123 you don’t know what you’re talking about . You’re not even a magician, right? No, you’re a thief . BuyTheLaw-nim, don’t choose healing . You’ll regret it . When your doing double quests, you’ll never beat them with a healer .
-BuyTheLaw: @MagicalFairy2 Then what should I choose? Fire?
-MagicalFairy2: Fire’s ok, but I personally recommend lightning . The petrify and stuns are really useful all throughout the game . But you have to go double before lvl 100, because the difficulty spikes around then, so you can’t beat the good quests with just fire or lightning . But before lvl 100, fire and lightning are a good choice . I have to repeat that levelling and raiding isn’t easy once you reach lvl 100 . If you’re thinking triple, then do it before lvl 50 even it it slows your progress a bit .

“So, do I either go fire or lightning?”
Many people were recommending fire and lightning . After checking all the replies, he went back to the search results and slowly went through the top posts .

Title: Going all in for the illusion faction . Is it worth?
Posted by: Illusion Magic
I’m considering illusion because of my name . Is this a crazy choice?
Replies:
– MagicFairy2: Yes . Although it becomes useful once you’re doubling or tripling, it’s just a really bad beginner element . Basically, it’s a crazy choice .
– Illusionisbad23: Don’t do illusion . You will regret . I went illusion but soloing is a nightmare, and no one wants me on their team . I wanted to triple, but I couldn’t even double . And it’s not because levelling is difficult . I’m lvl 89 . It’s just bad .

Title: I’m a single element fire user . Now I’m lvl 200 .
Posted by: PlayingWithFire
I went wind or illusion to raise my stats .
But why is doubling so damn hard?!
Is there a trick to it?
Replies:
– MagicalFairy2: If your lvl 200, then I would stay with fire . The difficulty at that level is…… You can probably make it with a lvl 400 helper .

Lightning is the best for a single atr run?
Posted by: LetsGoTriplers333
I was fire then I doubled to lightning .
Wow . It’s just a completely new experience .
Those stun procs are carrying me every time .
It would’ve been easier to double with lightning as the first element .
Replies:
– ORA ORA ORA: It’s because Triple-nim is doubling . Stuns don’t proc like that on the first day .
– TapingHero: What? How did you do it? Going to lightning from fire was really hard for me . What lvl did you try doubling? Pls give me a tip!
– LetsGoTriplers333: @ORAORAORA really? @TapingHero I did it in lvl 50 . I think skills are more important than levels . You have to learn the ‘Inferno’ skill . If you cast inferno and retreat, then it works eventually .
– TapingHero: Thank you for your tip .
– LetsGoTriplers333: Best of luck!

Title: Single? Double? Triple?
Posted by: WizRadG
I was a warrior at first but magic seemed so cool so I changed my class to a Magician, but unlike NPCs, users can only use 3 elements . And you also have to beat quests to use the said elements . How does it work exactly? And what elements are the best?
– MagicFairy2: Welcome to world of magic! I’ll explain carefully . So, users can only use 3 elements . 1 element is called single, 2 is double and 3 is triple .
Now that you’re a Magician, you have to go to a tower in a magic city . Out of 10 towers, if you pass a test in 1 tower, then you’re a single . After that, if you pass in another tower, then you’re a double, and so on . Which means you just have to pass a test in a tower .
But the problem is the quests . The difficulty varies according to each city, but the main thing is that the difficulty spikes for double at lvl 100 and for triple, the difficulty spikes at lvl 50 .
This means if you’re going double or triple, it’s best to pass before reaching those levels . And reducing levels by death penalties doesn’t work as it records your highest level . Is there anything more you’re curious about?
– WizRadG: Thank you for your explanation . Are there any recommendations for what elements to choose?
– MagicFairy2: Are you going single?
– WizRadG: I’m thinking triple! Although I hear that it’s hard, I’m going to try!
– MagicFairy2: If you’re going triple then you have to pass double first, but I recommend fire or lightning .
– WiaRadG: And after that??

“……Hm . ”
Jang Yool was deep in thought as he stared at the monitor .
“As expected . Team Leader!”
Jang Yool raised his head and called Yang Joo Hyuk .
“Did he choose?”
Yang Joo Hyuk asked as soon as Jang Yool called .
“No . ”
Jang Yool shook his head .
“He just logged out . ”
Soo Hyuk didn’t choose anything . Although he couldn’t be sure, Jang Yool suspected that he was still thinking about it . Hearing his assistant’s reply, Yang Joo Hyuk nodded his head and asked Jang Yool .
“How many Tier 0 users are logged in right now?”
To Yang Joo Hyuk’s question, Jang Yool checked the 1st monitor . It showed the logs of the Tier 0 users real time .
“There’s 2 right now . ”
There were 2 Tier 0s logged on right now .
“Who?”
“Scion of the Sword Saint and the Evernight Emperor . ”
“Really? If it’s those two then nothing big will happen . Go and get some sleep . ”
“Thank you, sir! I’ll return soon!”

– The Magician in my party said fire, water and lightning is pretty good . The other ones are tiring . Illusion and poison especially will drive you crazy if you pick those for a single .
Soo Hyuk was calling Yeon Jung . It was to listen to his ideas .
“Then do I choose between fire, water or lightning?
– Yep . People go with them in most cases……”
Yeon Jung continued with difficulty .
-But you don’t know the skills that come with them .
“Yeah, I don’t . ”
– That’s the problem . What would happen if you chose fire, water or lightning but the skills are weird? You said you can’t use skill books .
“Mmm . ”
Soo Hyuk agreed with Yeon Jung’s analysis . The attribute was an attribute, but the skills were the problem . The reason fire, water and lightning were so popular was because some of the skills were so beginner friendly . What if he got weird or useless skills?
“I thought listening to Yeon Jung would help finalise my decision . ”
Soo Hyuk had thought consulting Yeon Jung would help with his dilemma, but it only got even bigger .
“Anyway, you said you were going log in, right . I’ll just choose right now . See you in Pangea . ”
– Okay . Just choose .
Soo Hyuk ended his call with Yeon Jung . Then he climbed in the capsule and thought while logging in .
“What do I do?”
Which door was he going to enter?
“I don’t want to waste time like this . ”
When he opened his eyes, he could see ten doors in front of him . He wasn’t going to waste time like this . He wanted to go back to the library and read more books .
“Okay . ”
Soo Hyuk breathed out as he paced back and forth .
“Arch Mage is ultimately just a magician . So, fire, water and lightning . One of the three . ”
Soo Hyuk narrowed his choices down to three . It was the choices that Yeon Jung’s party member had recommended . Fire, water and lightning .
“Water is easier to get into a party, but it lacks offensive power compared to fire and lightning . ”
Water was weaker in terms of offense . But it was easier to get into a party than fire or lightning .
“The thing is, I’m not going to party . ”
Soo Hyuk’s primary aim was not developing his character . It was books . He was going to spend a lot more time reading than hunting .
“Let’s leave out water . ”
He didn’t want to spend his time hunting, but getting a party? It would be too irritating if his party was hunting while he was reading books . So, Soo Hyuk crossed water off .
“Fire or lightning . ”
He just had to choose between fire or lightning . The elements recommended most by Pangea forums . Soo Hyuk sat between the two doors and kept thinking .
“Yes . ”
Soo Hyuk had decided . He was at an impasse from comparing the two elements . But that was also why he could decide easily .
“Aesthetics . Let’s go with fire . ”
The door near the middle, lightning, and the leftmost door, fire . He thought that progressing from the left would look better, so he approached the door of fire .
[Enter the Door of Fire?]
A system message appeared when Soo Hyuk put his hand on the door . Since he had already decided, he pressed ‘Yes’ without hesitation . Numerous more messages appeared the moment he pressed
[Unsealing the Door of Fire . ]
[As the first door unsealed, it does not require any conditions . ]
