[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 sa 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 confird that Do-hyeon was firmly walking the path he aid for when he awakened his job—the path of an All-Master.
Jack-of-all-trades builds either beca unparalleled in versatility or ended up being diocre at everything.
Objectively speaking, Do-hyeon clearly belonged to the forr.
‘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 Requirent: 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 tis).]
[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 Requirent: 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 movent speed by 4% (stackable up to 5 tis).
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 movent 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 ant 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 ti 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 sowhat 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 ant 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 imdiately to the orc’s roaring charge from the left, fittingly living up to its nickna.
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 ford spear, black and sharp, cut a graceful arc as Do-hyeon stepped into a sweeping motion.
Surprisingly, what seed 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.]
[Penetration increases.]
[Upon piercing the enemy, attack power increases by 1% for 30 seconds.]
[Set option activates, reducing the enemy’s movent speed.]
[You have defeated an Orc.]
“Nice grip.”
And that was it.
Swoosh…
The orc, its heart impaled, fell with a sound like deflating air.
Leaving the lifeless orc behind, Do-hyeon spun his spear again, severing the neck of another orc sneaking up from the opposite side.
[The effect of ‘First S-Rank’ activates as this is the first attack.]
[Deals an additional 18% damage.]
[You have defeated an Orc.]
Dispatching two orcs in an instant, Do-hyeon scanned his surroundings.
Silhouettes faded into the mist.
The remaining orcs, spooked by their comrades’ deaths, began to retreat.
Do-hyeon clicked his tongue.
“So they run away now, huh?”
– That’s a natural instinct, Master. Even I’d run if I were them.
“I don’t want to hear that from soone who once told to keep moving despite getting shot in the knee.”
– …Hey, that was a misunderstanding! It wasn’t my knee; it was… deeper.
“What nonsense. Anyway, these days, monsters lack tenacity. Right, Elisa?”
– Liza?
Leaving Elisa, who tilted her head with an innocent expression, behind, Do-hyeon sheathed Thousand Transformations at his waist.
Despite his remarks, the situation was predictable.
[The deathly aura intensifies, thickening the mist.]
[The probability of orcs fleeing increases.]
‘There it is. I wondered when this would show up.’
ssages like these hadn’t appeared in Raven but were all too common in DemRock.
In that hyper-realistic world, monsters fleeing or ambushing from behind was standard.
It would be stranger if a ga like God of Savior, with superior AI, didn’t implent such a system.
‘No wonder they say things get real in Brion.’
Unbeknownst to Do-hyeon, such phenona weren’t typical even in Brion.
Since most job quests began in the Salt-Rock Forest, many users converged there.
If soone monopolized the area, it would hinder others from progressing.
Thus, a system preventing excessive monopolization was implented.
In other words, triggering this system implied an extraordinary degree of mob hunting.
“Let’s head further in.”
– …Ignoring again? You’re all just gonna leave here?
– Liza!
Unaware of these nuances, Do-hyeon and his party chose the only available option.
To delve deeper.
As the orcs fled inward, they had no choice but to follow.
After several rounds of hunting the fleeing orcs…
“Wow… Who’s that guy? He just waves his spear, and the orcs drop dead.”
“Damn, is he hacking?”
“God of Savior doesn’t have hacks. But yeah, he’s so strong it’s suspicious.”
“By the way, what’s with this death aura? Did a guild pass through here? Why is this happening?”
“Ugh, which guild’s idiots caused this ss?”
“Can’t see a thing. Let’s just retreat.”
Ignoring the noisy chatter of other users, Do-hyeon pressed forward at high speed.
How far had he gone?
The thickening mist and his deep incursion ant that only the silhouettes of orcs welcod him now.
– Monsters near Brion defeated: [249 / 1,000]
“Whew.”
Having exceeded his initial goal of 100 kills to reach 249, Do-hyeon finally halted.
It wasn’t just because he t his target.
It was not a shallow rest to recover the health that had dropped to 150 while sitting for a mont.
[Remaining Play Ti: 00:03:47]
‘Has it already co to this?’
Before he knew it, the remaining playti had nearly run out.
Well, a lot did happen today.
He had achieved the Raven Graduation goal, obtained Elisa, reached first place in the rankings, and even completed the main quest.
Not only that, he also defeated 249 orcs.
‘Crazy, really.’
Acknowledging the spectacle that made his 10-hour investnt worthwhile, Do-hyeon turned to look behind him.
-Huh?
-Liza?
There, he locked eyes with Jihad, who had Elisa perched on his shoulder, tilting her head curiously.
Their reactions were identical, as if to confirm their friendship.
-Why, why are you looking at like that, master? Did you hear sothing?
“? What are you talking about?”
-Never mind.
Do-hyeon furrowed his brows at the peculiar response, and Jihad averted his gaze, pretending to be uninterested.
-Liza…
For so reason, Elisa’s sigh seed like a sigh of relief.
Shaking his head, Do-hyeon spoke.
“It’s ti for to leave now.”
-Huh? Already?
“It’s not exactly ‘already.’ It’s been 10 hours.”
-Oh… Well, I suppose it has been quite a while.
Jihad’s expression was strange as he said that.
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 sa 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 , 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 so 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 t, 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 eting for the first ti in 150 years.’
Finally understanding Jihad’s reaction, Do-hyeon chuckled.
The guy, who had always seed 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 so external force interfered to make him forget?
Curious, but knowing Jihad would only give an evasive answer, and this wasn’t the right ti, 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 sentintal words.
-…How soon?
“About the sa ti I ca back today?”
-Understood, master.
Did that help?
Seeing Jihad’s expression relax a little, it seed 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 seed to question this, but Do-hyeon replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
“No, I an, 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 gar knew how to make the most of even a fleeting mont.
And right now, this was the best way to use his remaining ti.
‘I can’t leave it at 249.’
249 was a botherso 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 .
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 so 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, sothing small emitted a crimson glow darker than blood.
[Eye of Truth activates.]
It was the first ti the Eye of Truth had activated in Brion.
