99. 7th round results tally
The 7th round main quest was not about escaping the fantasy.
‘The real quest was to escape temptation.’
The first is the sub-quest: Suicide.
The second is the main quest: escape from temptation.
Round 7 consists of a double illusion like this.
Most people would have felt relieved that they had completed the first step and were free from the illusion, but that was not the case.
‘It’s not over until it’s over.’
In other words, even the message that Seo Ah-rin confessed to herself and that the fantasy was over was a lie.
This is why Ryumin prophesied not to be deceived by temptation.
‘If you had remembered what I said and resisted the temptation, you would have easily passed the main quest.’
Of course, he didn’t say anything about the side quest rewards because he had to claim them himself.
‘Rune’, a reward that only one person can receive, was essential when dealing with Yamti.
Crackling- Crackling-
Seo A-rin’s appearance disappeared, and I looked at the message that emerged.
[You have completed the main quest ‘Escape temptation within 2 hours’!]
[Now I’m really out of the fantasy.]
The illusion is lifted.
Seorin and the grasslands all disappear.
The background that appears is a pure white, colorless space.
This is truly a space that escapes fantasy.
[uh? what? Is there anyone awake at this hour?]
Priscilla flew in from far away as if she saw Ryumin moving.
[Who will be the person who woke up in first place? … omg!]
As she gets closer, her eyes widen.
[Black Scythe?]
‘Why are you surprised?’
Ryumin tilted his head.
The distance is so far that I can’t read your thoughts.
A smile gradually spreads across Priscilla’s surprised face.
[Giggle, giggle, giggle.]
‘what? ‘Unlucky.’
Priscilla laughed for a while, leaving Ryumin with a straight face.
Ryumin, who couldn’t see anything, asked.
“Hey, angel? What is this?”
[Ah, big. This is not the time. Ugh. black scythe. You escaped the fantasy temptation in first place. congratulations.]
“Illusion? Oh, was that so?”
I deliberately pretended not to notice so that the angel would not have any questions.
[Please wait until the time limit is over. Compensation is paid based on the tally results.]
Soon, a pillar of light came down and arrested Ryumin.
dump-
Ryumin, who was sitting on the floor and waiting comfortably, looked around.
In the colorless space, numerous people stood with their eyes closed.
These were people who were seeing a fantasy.
‘They probably moved the location after casting the illusion.’
The grassland I saw when I started was probably not an illusion.
Because if you realize it’s an illusion, it disappears before the round even starts.
‘The point at which the system casts an illusion is after the time limit has elapsed.’
Even if you know that it is an illusion before, it does not disappear.
That was why Ryumin was able to use his dominance over himself.
‘Most of you are probably experiencing the second illusion by now.’
The first fantasy, committing suicide, is a fantasy for a side quest.
Even if you cannot commit suicide without hesitation, you will not be excluded from the survival list.
It just means the opportunity to get a reward is gone.
‘The important thing is the main quest. ‘Escape from temptation.’
The second fantasy temptation follows immediately.
As with the first illusion, the system offers temptations based on the player’s internal data.
There are various ways to seduce.
Material temptations, temptations of the opposite sex, temptations to escape pain, etc.
Each person experiences different temptations.
‘In my case, Seo A-rin confessed to dating me.’
What if you can’t escape temptation and run out of time?
Of course he is eliminated.
On the other hand, what if you escape temptation?
Rankings vary depending on how quickly you escape.
‘The sooner you get out, the better. like me.’
However, if he had killed Seo A-rin as soon as he saw her, it wouldn’t have been counted.
You can only measure time by rejecting a temptation after receiving it.
This was the reason why Ryu Min waited for Seo A-rin’s confession.
‘To kill the temptation as soon as it begins.’
I don’t know, but it probably came out in about 1 second.
Because it was like that in my last life too.
Ryumin rested his chin and passed the time in a boring manner.
[Time remaining until round end: 01:30:51]
‘There’s still 1 hour and 30 minutes left.’
If I had been able to see each person’s fantasy, it wouldn’t have been so boring.
While waiting with that thought in mind, several people woke up from their illusion.
“Gasp! W-what!?”
“W-this place?”
“What happened?”
“Don’t come any closer! Huh?”
“There’s no use in tempting me! I have someone I love… ah?”
The angel explained the simple truth.
People who realized the reality rubbed the back of their heads in shame.
As time passed, the number of people surrounded by the pillar of light increased.
The time limit finally passed, and everyone woke up from their fantasy.
Clap-clap-!
Priscilla smiled and clapped her hands.
[Come on, come to your senses, humans? As you all know, what you have seen so far is an illusion. You probably know the contents of the quest, but I’ll reveal it again.]
A message window appeared and the quest details were revealed.
<Main Quest>
└Escape from temptation within 2 hours
<Sub Quest>
└Suicide without hesitation
└When successful ▶ ?? ??? ? Payments
[As you can see, the main quest was to escape the temptation of fantasy. The hidden sub-quest was to commit suicide without hesitation.]
“What? Was committing suicide a side quest?”
“Ah, you mean that situation from the beginning?”
“Damn it, how can you kill yourself in that f*cking situation?”
“It’s a crazy quest. Who on earth would commit suicide without hesitation?”
The players all expressed their dissatisfaction, as if they had suffered a lot of mental damage.
[Ha, I see some people here who want to explode their heads?]
“…….”
When Priscilla looked at her with a straight face, the audience became quiet as if cold water had been poured on them.
[But don’t worry. I won’t kill you. Because I’m feeling pretty good right now.]
Priscilla smiled and flapped her wings.
A tally results window appeared before everyone’s eyes.
★ 7th round results tally ★
[All areas]
└1st place. Black Scythe (Lv54 Reaper) 00:00:01
└2nd place. Chrissy (Lv27 Priest) 00:00:05
└3rd place. Heavenly Horse (Lv29 Dark Knight) 00:00:06

└2nd place. Sangcheol Ahn (Lv34 Knight) 00:00:18
└3rd place. Seo A-rin (Lv34 Summoner) 00:00:24
Everyone who saw the results window was disgusted.
“The black scythe is first place?”
“Again?”
“This was a quest to escape from the illusion….”
“Does this mean that your mental strength is flawless?”
“Look at that, I resisted the temptation in just one second.”
“Not human.”
“Hehehe.”
Unlike players who shake their heads in disgust.
[Kihihihi.]
Priscilla’s mouth was watering as she looked at the results window.
‘I won! I won the bet thanks to the black scythe!’
Is it because of the joy of taking the throne?
Priscilla even forgot to give a reward.
“Angel? I’m not receiving the first place reward.”
[ah! That’s right. Sorry, Black Scythe.]
As the angel, who rarely apologized to humans, flapped his wings, a message of compensation emerged.
[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.]
[A ‘Random Draw Choice’ will be given 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!]
Messages poured in, but the reward did not end there.
[‘Mental Barrier Rune’ will be provided as a sub-quest reward!]
[The acquired runes are automatically imprinted on the player’s body!]
‘I finally got it.’
Once I got the rune I wanted, an information window appeared.
[Rune of Mental Barrier]
-Effect: Immune to all mental attacks.
‘We finally have the means to fight against Yamti.’
Now I can dominate Plseba if I want to.
‘If you have this, you won’t get any illusions like that.’
This was the reason why the system paid rune rewards last.
If I had paid it in the middle, I wouldn’t have been able to attempt the seduction test, which was my second fantasy.
Ryumin looked at the rewards that came earlier.
Until now, equipment items had been received as rewards for first place in the area, but this time, a lottery option was provided.
[You can choose one of the following random draws.]
[Please touch the reward you want.]
└ 1. Random gold bag
└ 2. Intermediate Magic Stone Draw Ticket
└ 3. Surprise potion box
‘I don’t really have a choice.’
The magic gemstone is set to the highest level and the gold is in overflow.
There was only one thing to choose.
‘number 3. Select the surprise potion box.’
It is scheduled to appear in round 8, but there is a consumable called a potion.
Like in the game, if you drink it, you can recover from wounds or receive various buff effects.
There are many different types.
‘I told you all about how diverse it is that there are lottery boxes.’
There are three ways to obtain these potions.
Get the alchemist job, which is the only class, or kill the boss-level monster that appears after round 8.
And finally.
‘NPC. No, should I say he’s from another world?’
It can also be purchased or obtained from otherworldly people.
The 8th round is when the otherworldly person begins to appear.
‘It’s probably embarrassing for the players. You’ll always see monsters that can’t speak, but you’ll see aliens who can communicate.’
Ryu Min also remembers being very embarrassed when he first learned of the existence of aliens.
What was especially confusing was that I couldn’t tell if it was really a person or an NPC.
‘That’s still unknown to this day.’
Anyway, from round 8 onwards, you can use the title as aliens appear.
You must also obtain the two runes you were aiming for.
‘The rune of future poetry and the rune of durability.’
Additionally, 8 rounds are good for leveling up.
There will probably be people reaching level 40 as well.
‘I’ll get to level 60, though.’
Ryumin’s eyes turned to the last remaining special reward selection box.
[You can choose one of the following special rewards.]
[Please touch the reward you want.]
└ 1. Experience 3x increase buff (limited to 8 rounds)
└ 2. 20,000 gold
└ 3. Information about round 8
Without hesitation, I chose number 1.
The next round is a good round to increase experience.
[Okay, everyone checked the rewards, right? Then, let’s take the time to disappear. People who didn’t make it to the rankings and people who couldn’t escape temptation within the time limit. Goodbye everyone.]
“Now, wait a minute!”
“no!”
Passsss-
Without even having time to make excuses, half of the players turned to dust and disappeared.
[And as I said before, we decided to designate the player who conquered the area the fastest as the district representative, right? As everyone knows, this person is the representative of the integrated area.]
[Player ‘Black Scythe’ has become the new district representative of C2-ESKA003.]
People nodded at the message announcing the representative.
It was a fair result with no room for argument.
[The Black Scythe who has become the representative of the integrated area will be compensated as promised.]
After a while, the long-awaited message appeared in Ryumin’s eyes.
[The authority of the temporary skill ‘Dominion’ is changed.]
[From now on, you can use Dominion only once in real life.]
[If a district representative is taken away, the authority immediately lapses.]
