## Power and Abilities

As a veteran player who has survived through numerous battles and wars in Hall Plain for ten years Kim Soohyun has accumulated a vast amount of experience. With just a basic normal class Kim Soohyun was able to kill numerous demons during his first life in Hall Plain. Despite this, he had always lacked magic power which had limited his overall strength and therefore was never able to become one of the top players in Hall Plain as he could not grow his strength since he had stagnated.

However, after returning back to the very moment he was summoned to Hall Plain Kim Soohyun was gifted certain privileges that caused to propel him forward. One of those privileges was the boost to his magic power, luck, stamina, and strength stats. As such, the magic power that had held him back for so long was boosted to the upper nineties and was able to catch up the rest of his stats.

In addition to the boost in stats, Kim Soohyun was granted the ability to pick and choose his class. Consequently, he had picked one of the strongest swordsman classes possible, the secret class; Sword Specialist. With it, he could take on and fight multiple mages, that are normally unbeatable to a normal swordsman. And with its authority, he can cut through anything that exists in the world.

Moreover, he was given the ability to select his own unique, special, and two of the 4 latent abilities. With the option presented he had an overwhelming advantage compared to other players as special and latent abilities developed based on a player's inclinations and not of their choice. As a result, he had chosen each ability which allowed them to synchronise well with each other and strengthen himself.

This had lead Kim Soohyun to become one of the strongest players comparable to the Ten who are the most powerful players just on the first day of returning to Hall Plain. With his newfound powers, he was easily able to pressure Go Yeonju one of the ten strongest, and later he was able to murder multiple players who were to join the ten in the future. Furthermore, due to his overwhelming dominance, he is able to fight against dozens of players single-handedly as shown in multiple instances.

However his last privilege is arguably the greatest of all, the ability granted was the right to choose an item. With it, he had selected the Hwajung, an eternally blazing flame the can burn anything to cinders and can cause the angels to fear it. After obtaining it he is capable of a multitude of things such as turning ablaze, boosting his general power, and purifying himself from status effects. Later, during his confrontation with the demon, Belphegor, Kim Soohyun was able to annihilate him while continuously mocking him with the power of the Hwajung that has not even reached its first awakening and kill multiple of the 14 demon monarchs

After reaching a stamina stat of 90 he reaches the first awakening and with it, he can declare a region of area where can spread his flames. At a stat of 100, it goes through the second awakening, and at 101 it goes through its last awakening which had allowed Soohyun to go face to face against the Duke of Hell. When reaching its last awakening the Hwajung is able to talk to the user much more freely and assist Sooyhun in battle. As shown in multiple instances the Hwajung often advises Soohyun to dodge certain attacks or when to attack using her superior knowledge and intuition as a goddess.

Although, the Hwajung does carry its fair share of risks. If the user's stamina stat is below the very minimum of 90, it can cause severe repercussions to the user and if it's used frequently it can cause permanent stat loss to the user. Even when attaining a health stat of 101 Soohyun is still at risk if he uses the Hwajung. And if he pushed the Hwajung to it's utmost he will face the consequence of death.

During his time in his second life, Soohyun continues to advance his prowess by improving his combat style. With the use of the Hwajung, he is able to control multiple swords and launch them at his foes or even create flaming blades in its place.

(**NOTES FOR ME TO CONTINUE LATER**)

In the final parts of the story Soohyun reaches new hights with the Hwajung having a stamina stat so great that it allows for Hwajung to manifest her real body.

Is able to "edit the rules of world" with his power with one strike of sword causing hordes of elite players to fall and rising to the strength of the heaven rank 9 and was able to kill one of the great demons, lilith, in a single swing of his sword causing even Soohyun to be surprised.

His power has grown to the extent that it caused all of the angels in Hall Plain to run away not even risking a confrontation with Soohyun

After returning to Earth Soohyun loses many status effect he had formerly like the ancient witch tattoo on his heart, x2 magic speed as well as other effects despite this he feels even stronger then he was before even without training for prolonged time

Now becoming the master of Excalibur the sword of legends he receives boost to all of his stats as well as his abilities,

At the end of the story Soohyun becomes one of the first (reminder to check) people to ascend to godhood
