[Stats]
Remaining Points: 25
“Wow... Even I admit this doesn’t make sense.”
A whopping 144 Strength, over 100 Agility and Perception, thanks to investing just 10 points.
His Stamina and Magic were comparable to those of a tank or mage of the same level.
If people learned he still had 25 unused points, they wouldn’t believe it.
Even posting a screenshot would lead to accusations of photo editing because the stats were so unbelievable.
‘I’m progressing exactly how I envisioned.’
This confirmed that Do-hyeon was firmly walking the path he aimed for when he awakened his job—the path of an All-Master.
Jack-of-all-trades builds either became unparalleled in versatility or ended up being mediocre at everything.
Objectively speaking, Do-hyeon clearly belonged to the former.
‘And this isn’t even the end.’
This was far from the limit.
Achieving an S-rank in the graduation quest didn’t just grant a title.
Differentiated rewards were given based on the user’s performance.
Do-hyeon was now equipped with the S-rank reward.
[Black Raven Spear]
[Grade: Heroic]
[Description: A spear containing the black essence of the first city, Raven.
It excels in mana sensitivity and draws out intrinsic power to enhance magic and strength.]
[Level Requirement: 24]
[No Usage Restrictions]
[Physical Attack: 194~208]
[Magic Attack: 190~200]
[Durability: 100 / 100]
[Special Option: +5% Magic Damage]
[Special Option: Increased Penetration. Upon piercing an enemy, attack power increases by 1% for 30 seconds (stackable up to 6 times).]
[Black Raven Earring]
[Grade: Heroic]
[Description: An earring containing the black essence of the first city, Raven.
It excels in mana sensitivity and draws out intrinsic power to enhance magic and perception.]
[Level Requirement: 24]
[No Usage Restrictions]
[Magic Resistance: 40]
[Durability: 50 / 50]
[Special Option: +4% Magic Casting Speed]
[Special Option: +6% Power for Magic-Related Skills]
While both items being Heroic-grade was noteworthy, their true value lay elsewhere.
-2-set effect: Upon piercing an enemy, reduce their movement speed by 4% (stackable up to 5 times).
When magic lands, it drains mana proportional to the damage dealt.
A rare set bonus activated with just two pieces, and its performance was astonishing.
The movement speed reduction and mana drain were crucial not just for hunting but also for siege battles and PvP.
‘Mana drain would especially shine in PvP.’
While raid monsters had abundant mana, players often struggled with mana shortages.
In such cases, simply landing magic attacks to drain mana would be a significant advantage.
Pierce an enemy to slow them down, then follow up with magic to deplete their mana...
‘Was this set made to infuriate opponents?’
The design was clearly meant to drive opponents to frustration.
Though it might seem trivial, those on the receiving end would be thoroughly annoyed.
Normally, this configuration would be unusable unless one was a Magic Spearman, but this time was an exception.
– No Usage Restrictions.
Both the spear and earring were unrestricted items, a rarity even in the entirety of God of Savior.
And both were Heroic-grade.
As expected of a graduation reward, the items were extravagant.
‘A mage would get the most out of this.’
A mage could somewhat offset their weakness in close combat while making the most of the set’s options.
Not that it mattered to Do-hyeon.
His overpowering stats meant he could claim to be a mage if he simply acquired a magic skill.
Sizzle! Crackle!
Had he been idle for too long?
Do-hyeon reacted immediately to the orc’s roaring charge from the left, fittingly living up to its nickname.
He brought the spear to the Thousand Transformations.
Light emanated from Thousand Transformations and engulfed the spear.
[Thousand Transformations devours ‘Black Raven Spear.’ Successful absorption.]
[Thousand Transformations transforms into ‘Black Raven Spear.’]
The newly formed spear, black and sharp, cut a graceful arc as Do-hyeon stepped into a sweeping motion.
Surprisingly, what seemed like a horizontal slash suddenly changed trajectory, shooting forward in a straight line.
[The effect of ‘First S-Rank’ activates as this is the first attack.]
[Deals an additional 18% damage.]
It was hard to decipher the look on his face, making Do-hyeon feel equally unsettled.
‘I thought he’d be excited—what kind of reaction is that?’
Wasn’t this the same guy who couldn’t suppress his smile when Do-hyeon logged off yesterday?
Had they grown a bit closer in just one day?
[Loyalty: 30 / 100]
Considering that loyalty had risen to 30, it might indeed be possible.
That thought was interrupted by Jihad’s subsequent question.
-Then, what happens to Elisa?
“Huh?”
-Will she, like me, be sent to another world, master?
“Another world?”
Do-hyeon tilted his head before letting out a soft exclamation.
‘He must be talking about the Guardian Room.’
When a player logs off, their guardians are all sent to a place called the Guardian Room.
It’s a highly reasonable system designed to prevent guardians from wandering alone, getting killed, or causing problems in the absence of their players.
Naturally, Elisa, being a guardian, would also be moved to the Guardian Room.
“Probably. Why?”
-...Right. Never mind.
That’s why Do-hyeon found it even more puzzling.
It wasn’t a question he would have asked out of ignorance, so he must have some reason for seeming so sullen.
“Why? Do you not like it there? Your reaction suggests otherwise.”
After all, hadn’t his loyalty increased dramatically?
As expected, Jihad shook his head. Instead, he replied with a slightly downcast face.
-It’s just... we’ve only just met, so it feels a little disappointing.
-Liza... Lizaliza!
“Oh.”
Moved, Elisa’s eyes sparkled as she affectionately rubbed her face against Jihad’s cheek.
‘That’s right, they were meeting for the first time in 150 years.’
Finally understanding Jihad’s reaction, Do-hyeon chuckled.
The guy, who had always seemed like an opportunist watching for a chance to stab him in the back, could actually feel regret at parting.
‘It’s hard to believe he forgot 150 years of this.’
It made him wonder—had some external force interfered to make him forget?
Curious, but knowing Jihad would only give an evasive answer, and this wasn’t the right time, he shelved the thought.
“Well, I’ll be back soon. So, um, don’t worry too much.”
Jihad’s ears perked up at Do-hyeon’s awkwardly clumsy attempt at consolation, unable to hide his discomfort with such sentimental words.
-...How soon?
“About the same time I came back today?”
-Understood, master.
Did that help?
Seeing Jihad’s expression relax a little, it seemed so.
Finding the atmosphere a bit too warm for his liking, Do-hyeon decided to change the subject.
“Then, shall we get moving?”
-Huh? Leaving already?
Didn’t you say you weren’t leaving just yet?
Jihad’s puzzled expression seemed to question this, but Do-hyeon replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
“No, I mean, I’ll leave after catching one more.”
-...You’re so relentless, master.
-Liza...
Ignoring the reactions of his two guardians, Do-hyeon turned his head.
After all, a true gamer knew how to make the most of even a fleeting moment.
And right now, this was the best way to use his remaining time.
‘I can’t leave it at 249.’
249 was a bothersome number.
250 felt much cleaner.
With less than two minutes remaining, his current specs made it more than possible to kill one more quickly.
Just as Do-hyeon rose to his feet to move—
-Huh? What’s that?
-Liza?
Jihad and Elisa tilted their heads in unison.
-If you’re not leaving, then... where are you looking, master? The orcs are that way.
-Lizaliza!
“...I know.”
-If you know, then why...?
“Just hush and wait.”
Instead of heading toward the orcs, Do-hyeon was staring blankly at the air.
Even when they kindly pointed this out, his furrowed brow and dismissive tone made Jihad pout.
-You’re always like this with me.
Jihad’s faint grumbling reached his ears, but Do-hyeon didn’t pay attention.
To be precise, he didn’t have the luxury to.
“What is that?”
-? That? There’s nothing there.
-Liza?
Following Do-hyeon’s gaze, Jihad and Elisa saw nothing.
All they could see were some rocks and the dense, annoying fog.
But Do-hyeon saw it clearly.
‘Why are those rocks red?’
Two blood-soaked rocks.
On one of them, something small emitted a crimson glow darker than blood.
[Eye of Truth activates.]
It was the first time the Eye of Truth had activated in Brion.
