Return of the Frozen Player 596
Screening test (1)
crunchy, crunchy
It was the first thing I heard when I woke up.
When I slowly open my eyes, I see the nostalgic ceiling.
I could also feel the soft mattress covering my body.
‘It’s my room.’
It is certainly. This was his home in the Korea Players Association.
Turning her head to the side, her eyes met with Seo-ri, who was eating an apple alone.
“oh… … ?”
Surrey asked awkwardly, her eyes widening as if she had been caught stealing.
“Would you like me to shave you too?”
“… … No, I have no appetite.” First of all, check the status.
Seo Jun-ho slowly raised his swollen upper body and turned his body around.
“What, I’m finer than I thought?”
“You don’t remember anything?”
“Remember what?”
“It was a complete mess of Bluetooth while the contractor was sleeping.”
it must be blues
“What are you talking about?”
“What was it? You know, in the past, the contractor’s body was broken and rebuilt. Withdrawal… … ?”
After searching for a while, Seo Jun-ho came up with an appropriate word.
“A metamorphosis?”
“ah! right. You did that one more time.”
” Really?”
Blinking his eyes, Seo Jun-ho looked at my body.
Come to think of it, even after the metamorphosis, the scars that were newly engraved here and there
disappeared cleanly.
It seems that the body is also much lighter.
‘But why the metamorphosis at this point?’
Perhaps because of reading that question, Frost continued.
“You might want to read the system logs first.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
The moment Seo Jun-ho nodded and opened the window with the system.
Leap!
Like a flood that broke a river bank and overflowed, many messages were disturbing my eyes.
[Congratulations! You have defeated Kineos Mullibach, the boss of Frontier 23 Area.]
[You have acquired the title, ‘Those Who Fear Death (S)’.]
[A safe zone is formed in the Frontier 23 area.]
[I was the first player to achieve annihilation class.]
[The title, ‘The one who walks ahead (S)’ has been acquired.]
[You have acquired the title ‘Star Breaker (S)’.]
[The body and magic circuits are newly formed after being elevated to the rank of annihilation.]
[Your level has risen.]
[Your level has risen.]
[Your level has risen.]
[All stats have increased by 40.]
“Ah, indeed.”
Seo Jun-ho nodded.
The reason for the sudden metamorphosis was thanks to the rise to the sex extinction class.
‘Then, it means that it wasn’t a perfect grade before.’
In a way, it was a natural story.
Because it was only for a moment that he was able to generate 400% overclocking power.
“Wait, that’s for now… …
Seo Jun-ho lightly raised his mana.
It circumnavigated the body with such rapidity that it surprised even oneself.
The overclock’s output soared in an instant, but the body temperature remained surprisingly stable.
Seo Jun-ho reaped his magic with a faint smile.
“Is it true that only now that the transcendental agent has been defeated, has it become a full-fledged adult class?”
The overclock of 400% was a level that could be maintained for a few minutes with a lot of effort.
But now, it seemed that no matter how many hours I spent, there would be no problem.
‘… … Is it really that great to be able to rise in rank?’
In fact, Seo Jun-ho still did not know the exact meaning of rank.
Until now, I had only thought of it as a yardstick for distinguishing the strength of an object in the universe.
‘I thought it was just a concept similar to the player’s level… …
Seeing that there is such a difference simply because one class has changed, I don’t think that’s the case.
‘I need information. It would be nice if I could ask someone in a clear way.’
is there anyone?
After thinking for a while, Seo Jun-ho slowly turned his head and looked at Seo-ri.
Unfortunately, this guy wasn’t helpful.
In fact, at the arcade center, wasn’t this guy even ignored by the demons for not knowing the 5th rank?
‘But it has evolved since then, and a lot of time has passed.’
Perhaps some of the memories you forgot have returned.
Seo Jun-ho asked directly.
“It’s Surrey. Do you know what class is exactly?”
“Class?”
Crunchy, crunchy.
She, who was chewing an apple like a rabbit, nodded.
“Does the contractor consider the original woman an idiot? Don’t know!”
Clearing her voice, she shouted loudly.
“Catastrophe! Liberation! Annihilation (Stars)! Transcendence (super super)! Absolutely!”
It’s like a crazy confidence that a kindergartener is announcing the first English number he learned.
Seo Jun-ho nodded.
“I know that much. We heard the same explanation from the demons the other day. Don’t you know more?”
“… … uh, other than that? more? Details?”
In an instant, a look of discouragement appeared on the face of Seo-ri, whose shoulders were folded.
‘I do not know. He doesn’t know.’
Seo Jun-ho waved his hands without showing a sign of disappointment.
“no. I’m sorry for asking something wrong. Keep eating apples.”
“huh… … Apples are delicious… …
Crunchy, crunchy.
While Seo-ri continued to eat apples, Seo Jun-ho looked at the newly acquired titles.
‘First of all, those who fear death.’
[Those who fear death]
Rating: s
Description: A title bestowed upon those who could not defeat even death.
Effect: Becomes stronger as death approaches.
Ambiguous explanations and ambiguous effects.
Seo Jun-ho’s brow furrowed slightly.
‘I don’t know this just by reading the text.’
However, it is not possible to die again just to confirm the effect of the title.
“… … Oh wait.”
Come to think of it, there is. way to check.
Seo Jun-ho lightly clapped his hands.
“Summon Junshik.”
“Junshik! River ☆ Rim.”
Jun-shik appeared refreshingly from one side of the room.
Then, he looked at himself with cloudy eyes.
“Yeah, kill me now.”
“… … what. Why are you so cooperative today?”
“What difference does it make if you are uncooperative? You’re trying to kill me to check the effect of the title anyway. Like a lab rat.”
“Ouch, that’s cruel.”
Surrey covered her mouth from the side.
Jun-shik looked up at the frost as he knelt on the floor like a high-ranking criminal.
Those eyes are pretty sad.
“It’s Surrey. It was a short reunion, but it was nice to meet you.”
“… … Junshik Ahh!”
“They are playing.”
Seo Jun-ho, who clicked his tongue, let out a sigh.
“Anyway, I really want to kill you.
would you?”
“… … I’m serious?”
“uh.”
Seo Jun-ho nodded and added a word.
“But it will really hurt like dying. That way, the title effect will come out.”
“Ay! That’s it!”
Junshik, whining as if he knew that would happen, let out a deep breath.
“Then at least let me do it myself.”
“Go to bed… … Could that be more frightening?”
It was the advice of someone who experienced it like eating on the 4th floor.
“I’ll do it myself though. I’m afraid that you’ll stab me without mercy.”
“… … Wouldn’t it be closer to death if stabbed without mercy?”
Seo Jun-ho muttered dryly and nodded.
“Anyway, I understand, so do it quickly.”
“Whoa, whoa.”
After taking a few deep breaths, Junshik tapped my left chest.
Damn it!
His heart froze fast and his face contorted.
“…… Whoa!”
Moments later, Jun-shik, who had been revived from the dead, sprawled on the floor and exhaled heavily.
Seo Jun-ho asked.
“What is the title effect?”
“… … It’s really too human.
Are you human?”
“ah.”
Was this too innocent?
Seo Jun-ho, scratching his head shyly, spoke again.
“Are you feeling okay? What is the title effect?”
Joon-shik, who stood up with a poop-chewed expression, opened his mouth.
“Are you getting stronger?”
“What are you talking about.”
“Literally, the closer you get to death, the stronger you get?”
After hearing Jun-shik’s explanation, Seo Jun-ho nodded.
“indeed.”
According to that guy’s explanation, the closer death approaches, the more stats and mental strength.
It is said that all abilities are generally stronger.
‘It seems ambiguous for an S-rank title… … It’s better than nothing.’
Even after dying hundreds of times on the 4th floor, I couldn’t get this title.
Perhaps the reason was that at that time, even if he died, he returned immediately.
Seo Jun-ho, who finished one confirmation, immediately confirmed the next title.
[The one who walks ahead]
Grade: S
Contents: A title given to the first player to reach the level of annihilation
Effect: When the player has the highest level, all stats +50
” This.… “
It was an unassuming yet very good title.
In line with the concept of walking ahead, if you maintain the highest level, you will receive an additional 250 stats.
‘In fact, if you maintain only the highest level, it’s no different from reaching 50 levels permanently.’
Considering that the higher the level, the more difficult it is to raise, it is an effect that cannot be exchanged for gold.
Excited Seo Jun-ho immediately confirmed the next title.
[The Star Breaker]
Rating: s
Description: A title given to those who have reached the level of annihilation.
Effect: The body and magic circuits are reconstructed.
‘ also.’
This was the expected effect.
The reason why he was able to undergo the second metamorphosis itself.
‘I’ve gained a lot.’
Seo Jun-ho checked his status window after a long time.
[Seojunhi
Level ： 372
Title: Opener of Spring (11 others)
Strength: 1009
Stamina: 1003
Speed: 1013
Horsepower: 1024
” oh.”
After clearing the 7th floor, all stats finally exceeded four digits.
It seems that the light body is not only because of the metamorphosis of the bones, but also because of the skyrocketing ability.
“wait.”
However, no matter how you look at it, the effect of the one who walked ahead was not applied.
‘Among the players, I’m sure I have the highest level?’
After returning, he fought by choosing only the line of fire, and he also killed the floor master the most.
Above all, didn’t he raise a huge level by wiping out tens of thousands of demons?
However, there is probably only one reason why this effect does not apply.
Seo Jun-ho opened his mouth.
“Seori, what about the Heavenly Demon? He was on the 7th floor too.”
“They say life and death are ambiguous. When the Contractor fought the Transcendental Emperor, he was near him, so he might have been swept away.”
“… … no. He’s alive.”
he was sure
At this point, if there is an existence that can be higher in level than you are.
Because that would be the only group of Heavenly Demons who raised their level by hunting monsters in the Demon Realm.
‘But I killed all demons except for the Heavenly Demon.’
In other words, except for the Heavenly Demon himself, no one could have a higher level than himself.
“By the way, he’s also near the power plant.
did you?”
“They say that when the contractor fought hard, he stole the holy relic and escaped.”
“… … A holy relic?”
It was obvious without looking at the intention.
“Then you should probably be absorbing the power contained within the relic by now.”
“Aren’t you anxious?”
“very.”
Ironically, it made me feel more at ease.
Now that I’ve heard that much confidence.
Confidence that you can protect at least what is precious to you.
“I’m glad you didn’t attack me first while I was asleep.”
“… … If that guy also absorbs the power of the sacred object, he might be able to rise to the rank of saint.”
“I’d rather be like that.”
One reason why the Heavenly Demon had been running away like a cockroach was because she was weak.
It was because he did not have the confidence to win against many players including himself.
However, if you reach the adulthood level, the story is different.
“There will be nothing to be afraid of.”
Except for yourself.
At that time, due to the nature of the Heavenly Demon, there was a high possibility that it would appear on its own.
“Are you revealing yourself? Do you really think so?”
“It’s Surrey. The Heavenly Demon is a horse. I have strong pride.”
He is stronger than any person he has ever met.
“Your ego is so strong,
You even hate it.”
Such a guy lived in hiding to the extent that he couldn’t even show himself in front of the people he hated.
Those days must have been the most disgraceful moment of his life.
“He will come down to annihilate us whenever he has the strength.”
Maybe that day.
It must be the day one of you and the Heavenly Demon die.
“Anyway, we should put off attacking the 8th floor for a while.”
It didn’t seem like it would take that long for the Heavenly Demon to come down.
Surrey, who heard his words, opened his mouth.
“But it’s in a state where we can’t attack the 8th floor anyway.”
“what? why?”
“Didn’t you read the entire system log?”
Seo Jun-ho, who turned his gaze to those words, confirmed his end with .
At the same time, his eyes narrowed.
[A safe zone is formed in the Frontier 23 area.]
[The player’s level cap is increased from 400 to 450.]
[The 8th floor is currently locked by the administrator. Please contact your administrator.]
“… … what is this?”
