IRTPTA 06

Chapter 6

Last night, Sae-byeok returned home late, unable to find Kang Soo-ho and her younger sibling.
Her heart felt restless, and sleep never came.

She still couldn’t fully grasp the reality of her return to the past.
On top of that, her mind was tangled with thoughts about her next steps.

So, instead of sleeping, she spent the whole night checking the system issues she hadn’t confirmed before.

---

[System Alert]
Forced recall was performed under insufficient authority, causing multiple issues.

1. Temporary Compression of Abilities (▶ Details)

2. Untransferred Unique Authority Detected (▶ Details)

3. Hardware Damage Worsening (▶ Details)

4. ?? ??? ?? ??? ?? (▶ Details)

---

The first issue—Temporary Compression of Abilities—was something she had already felt during last night’s hunt.

She also confirmed it through her Dawn’s Spear Master (S) title window.

---

[Title: Dawn’s Spear Master (S)]

No matter how long the night, dawn always comes.
The silent light of daybreak colors the sky and spreads across the world.
The brilliance of that light now rests upon your spear.

---

Unique Active Skills:

• Lightning (S → B)

• Ignite (S → B)

• Droplet (A → C)

• Blow (A → C)

• Sprout (A → C)

• Glimmer (C → E)

Unique Passive Skills:

• Blessing of the Sky (S)

• Last Hope (A)

• Light of First Dawn (B)

---

Unlike the downgraded Active Skills, her Passive Skills remained completely intact—surprising, but a relief.

There were still two months before the official start of the Scenario, so she decided not to panic—yet.

---

Second Issue: Untransferred Unique Authority

[Details]
The previous server administrator’s unique skills were not fully transferred before time was reversed.
Untransferred skills have been restored at the last save point.

---

This became clear when she checked her new title—Server Administrator (EX).

---

[Title: Server Administrator (EX)]

You possess all rights related to the server.
Manage it well to ensure its stability.

Server Authority: Earth (S3-EH)

Unique Skills:

• Time of Protection (EX) – Inactive

• Atlas’ Safe House (EX) – Active

• !error! Transfer Failed

• !error! Transfer Failed

• !error! Data Missing

Unique Authority:

Updating… <<

---

The interface was a mess—errors everywhere, half the details hidden under “updating.”
But what shocked her most was the number of skills—only two visible, and three broken.

She had assumed an EX-rank title would grant far more than her previous S-rank.
After all, rank determined not just stats but the number of unique skills.

Yet here she was—with only fragments of something greater.

---

Discovery of Atlas’ Safe House (EX)

Curious, she activated the skill.

---

[Notification]

• Identity confirmed.

• Conditions fulfilled.

• Atlas’ Safe House (EX) is now active.

• Previous data has been reset.

• New owner registered: ??? → Han Sae-byeok.

• Item Issued: Safe House Key (A).

---

A small, glowing earring appeared in her hand.

---

[Skill: Atlas’ Safe House (EX)]
The server administrator carries heavy burdens.
Perhaps a personal safe house can lighten the load?

Note: Equip Item [Safe House Key (A)] or [Copy Key (B)] to access.

---

The name made her expect a secret hideout.
But once she wore the earring, a glowing grid appeared—an inventory.

Not just any inventory, either—it was enormous.
Large enough to store multiple apartment buildings, not just vehicles or gear.

She realized then—if the other three missing skills were also EX-grade…
They could change everything.

She had to find them.
No matter what.

---

“First, breakfast,” she muttered, smiling faintly.
Even in a life-and-death scenario, one must eat.

---

Meanwhile, Elsewhere

Near Seoul Station, the Black Dragon Guild was busy dismantling monster corpses, extracting magic stones and useful parts.

But the atmosphere was tense—not because of the work, but because of their guild master, Hwang Tae-san.

A towering man covered in tattoos, standing silently, glaring at a single steel pipe sticking out of a monster corpse.

Guild members whispered nervously, trying to guess why.

But only Tae-san knew the truth—he had seen the mysterious woman who wiped out over a hundred lizards in seconds.
Her skill level suggested at least an A-rank hunter—yet no such person appeared in any registry.

Who was she?
And why did it feel like she had stepped out of nowhere?

With a sigh, Tae-san decided to meet the Association Chairman in person—
carrying the steel pipe as the only clue to track her down.

Back to Sae-byeok

After clearing her breakfast, Sae-byeok stood before a mountain.

“Why… did I think… climbing a mountain… first thing in the morning… was a good idea?!”

Panting heavily, she began her climb up Gwanak
