Everyone who saw the results opened their mouths.
Black Scythe’s record was a record, but more than anything, its level caught attention.
“Level 40…”
“The record is also crazy….”
The result can only be described as overwhelming.
Some people couldn’t keep their mouths shut, but others nodded as if they were used to it.
Because it was a black scythe that has never missed first place since the last round.
Is that why?
Ryu Min was not particularly impressed by the message that came to mind.
[congratulations! You have completed the quest as first place in the area!]
[congratulations! [You have completed the quest as first place in the entire district!]
[Currently, ‘Black Scythe’ is ranked 1st in the entire region and 1st in the region.]
[You will receive an ‘Intermediate Epic Necklace Option’ as a reward for ranking first in the area!]
[A ‘Special Reward Selection Box’ will be given as a reward for ranking first in all areas!]
The rewards I receive every time I come in first place are now getting boring.
However, the message that came to mind right away made Ryumin’s eyes sparkle.
[It has been confirmed that he is the first player to achieve first place in all districts for 5 consecutive rounds.]
[An incredible achievement has been achieved!]
[Obtain the title ‘The One Who Leads’.]
[Title – One who leads the way]
– Acquisition conditions: Obtained when you first place first in all districts for 5 consecutive rounds.
-Effect: All experience gained increases by 1.5 times.
When Ryumin saw the message, the corner of his mouth went up to one side.
‘I received the title as planned.’
This was the reason why we could not miss out on first place in the entire district.
If you receive a title, you will be able to speed up your level up even more.
‘We can’t miss the opportunity to grow 1.5 times faster.’
The experience buff will be of great help when hunting in the future.
‘Now that I’ve gotten the title I want, shall we pick some top rewards?’
[You can choose one of the following epic necklaces.]
[Please touch the reward you want.]
└ 1. Skeleton Knight’s Necklace
└ 2. Java’s Necklace
└ 3. Necklace of Strength
Necklaces whose abilities cannot be guessed just by their names.
‘An ordinary person would have chosen anything as if it were a test question… … .’
Ryumin knew all the information on the necklace.
Because I went through each episode and chose them one by one.
‘What I need is number 2. It’s Java’s necklace.’
I made the choice without hesitation, and the reward was immediately added to my inventory.
[Java’s Necklace]
– Category: Necklace
-Rate: Epic
-Effect: All stats +3, resistance +35%
-Durability: 1,000/1,000
-Restrictions on use: Regular grade or higher
-Description: A necklace said to be always worn by the Javanese, an alien race. The necklace itself contains magical power.
Although he had overwhelming strength and skills, Ryu Min was not without weaknesses.
‘Currently, what I need to strengthen is not strength or stats. It’s resistance to status abnormalities.’
No matter how strong Ryumin is, he is bound to suffer from abnormal conditions.
It is impossible to avoid it, especially if it is inflicted in a wide area.
‘It’s not yet the stage where such monsters will appear, but there’s no harm in preparing in advance.’
Moreover, items with resistance are rare, so you should prepare them in advance in times like this.
‘If you don’t need it later, you can trade it in at a higher price.’
A player who realizes the danger of status abnormalities will buy it even if it costs tens of thousands of gold.
Of course, it is still too early to say.
Ryu Min used the special reward selection box for the last time.
[You can choose one of the following special rewards.]
[Please touch the reward you want.]
└ 1. Experience 3x increase buff (limited to 6 rounds)
└ 2. 6,000 gold
└ 3. Information about round 6
In list number 1, the stat increase buff disappeared and was replaced with an experience buff.
‘This is an experience buff without any worries.’
I already know the information about round 6, and I am not in a situation where I am disappointed with gold.
6,000 gold doesn’t even seem like a reward.
As expected, Ryu Min currently holds over 220,000 gold.
‘2,400 orcs, 4 bosses, and time attack rewards. ‘I sourced gold from all over the place.’
Thanks to the luck stat, additional gold was added and more was collected.
‘I can’t believe I still have this much left even after purchasing the first aid skill in the beginning. ‘It’s unexpected.’
The 1-second time attack record was unexpected.
I had no idea that a High Orc would die in one hit.
‘He was focused on other players, so he was able to put all his effort into it.’
Was the nickname of the guy who was aggroing at that time Eom Jun-seok?
At first glance, I don’t remember much.
[Everyone checked their rankings through messages, right? For reference, there are 1,585 people who have completed the main quest. Those below 1,211th place will be destroyed without mercy.]
“Oh, no! Wait…!”
“Angel! Mercy…!”
There can be no mercy for an angel disguised as a devil.
The players disappeared screaming.
[I can’t believe you’re begging for your life. Humans are really worse than insects.]
Ryumin clicked his tongue inwardly as he looked at Priscilla laughing.
‘Do you think it’s different for you?’
Ryumin could only laugh when he saw the angels begging at his feet.
[Inferior humans. I probably didn’t even complete the 5th round sub-quest… … I thought there was, but there is?]
Priscilla’s eyes turned to Ryumin for a moment.
The look in his eyes is somewhat disapproving.
[Then humans. Rest well and see you in the next round.]
◀ End of ROUND 5 ▶

* * *
As soon as he woke up, Ryumin frowned.
Morning sunlight was coming through the window.
I looked at the time and it said 10 am.
Ten hours had already passed.
I stretched, feeling stiff.
Suddenly, I look down and see my younger brother sleeping under the bed, as if passed out.
‘This guy. ‘You must have been quite worried.’
A smile appeared on Ryumin’s lips.
He probably stayed up all night with his eyes open because he was worried that he didn’t wake up.
Even if you don’t watch it, it’s a video.
Because it was like this in the last episode as well.
“Wonah, wake up.”
“Hmm? Bro?”
Ryu Won, who was rubbing his sleepy eyes, was startled as if he had been doused with cold water.
“Hyung! You’re awake!”
“I woke up, then.”
“I was worried what would happen if you didn’t wake up!”
“I checked that he was breathing, but don’t worry.”
“still!”
“I already told you before I went. It’ll take 10 hours, so don’t worry, just wait.”
“Well, what should I do if I’m still worried….”
To his younger brother, he is his only family member and brother.
Even if I had heard the news in advance, it was natural to be worried.
Ryumin didn’t know that either, so he grinned and ruffled his hair.
“You idiot. But look at how worried you are about your younger brother.”
“Oh, why are you doing this? My hair is ruined!”
Although his younger brother was complaining, inside he was relieved that he had returned safely.
“If you haven’t eaten yet, let’s eat. I’m hungry.”
After having breakfast with my younger brother’s favorite black bean noodles, I returned to the room.
I had work to do.
‘Combination window.’
When the combination window appeared, I moved the boss materials obtained in round 5 to the slot.
It was none other than to create a unique item.
[Main ingredients]
-Reaper’s Scythe
[Supplementary ingredients]
-Heart of Orc
-Mysterious woodcarved totem
-Rusted arrowhead
-High Orc’s Tusk
-(doesn’t exist)
In the main material box, I put the Reaper’s Scythe as a weapon to be strengthened.
Of course, the low-grade orange magic stone that was embedded in the scythe was removed.
‘If I press the combination button like this, the weapon will be strengthened into an epic item suitable for my level.’
Even if it is not a weapon, if you put the item you want to strengthen into the main material and combine it with the remaining materials, it becomes an epic item.
However, Ryu Min has key ingredients that he stole from Hwang Yong-min.
It was none other than black diamond stone.
‘When combined with black diamond, it can be strengthened to unique rather than epic.’
Black diamond was placed in the last slot of the auxiliary material.
When you press the combination button, pure white light emits.
[Combination successful!]
[I created ‘Death Side’.]
[Death Side]
-Category: Weapon
-Grade: Unique
-Attack power: 300
-Effect: All stats +10, skill damage +10%
-Durability: 3,000/3,000
-Restrictions on use: Expert level or higher
-Description: A scythe said to be favored by the Shinigami. It is said that the shadow of death always follows the scythe.
I finally created the unique weapon I was looking forward to.
‘Now we can finally escape from the Reaper’s scythe.’
I got rid of the small weapon I received as a commemoration of my job change.
I feel like I’ve been using it for a very long time.
‘Now, should we learn some common skills with the money we have?’
There were four common skills left in the store.
‘Nearby navigation’ allows you to view your surroundings like a mini map.
‘Enhancement of moving body vision’ that takes moving body vision beyond the scope of the general public.
‘Basic resistance’ that increases resistance to status abnormalities by 15%.
Even ‘Dexterity’ increases the skill’s hit rate by 20%.
I learned all the common skills that anyone can learn if they have money.
There was 220,000 gold, which was enough.
‘Even after buying all the skills, I still have 140,000 gold left.’
I searched the store, but couldn’t find anything worth buying anymore.
‘Isn’t there anything worth buying other than the epic items that appear in a few days?’
I have money left over, but it doesn’t mean it’s useless.
Because the trading function wasn’t there for nothing.
‘First, let’s organize some magic stones.’
I combined the magic stones in my inventory to make it a lower level, and then put it into the necessary equipment.
To check my stats, I put on a full set of equipment and opened the status window.
-Name: Ryumin

<Additional features>
[Shop: You can purchase items.]
[Combination: Items can be combined.]
[Trade: You can trade items or gold.]
[??? : Unlocked upon reaching Lv60]
[??? : Unlocked upon reaching Lv99]
All stats were in triple digits.
The basic stats were like this when only the Rune of Balance buff was received.
‘If the massacre rune is applied here, the increase will be doubled, right?’
If Minjoo-ri’s buff is added, it is literally like adding wings to a tiger’s back.
‘good. Now that I’ve gotten stronger, I need to proceed with my business with Ma Gyeong-rok.’
What happens after you start your business?
Hwang Yong-min should be used.
‘What happened to him? Will he survive as planned?’
Since he survived until the 5th round, I thought he was still alive, but just in case, I searched to track him down.
‘Tracking, Hwang Yong-min.’
[The face and name match. Tracks the location of the target.]
Since it is being tracked, it is clear that it is alive.
‘thank god. ‘Because I can use it more.’
The plan was to use Hwang Yong-min to the core, but it would be impossible to go any further than this.
‘This is the last time I will use him in real life and throw him away.’
Hwang Yong-min probably doesn’t know.
Never would he have thought that his fate would be in the hands of the shuttle that had been bothering him so much.
