Chapter 65

Chapter 65

As it was something that no one had foreseen, Seols viewers were all shocked.

- Huh? Seriously?

- I knew that he was going to reach 1,000,000 Points soon but was he really the first one?

- Deduction) Normally you have to join a raid party or do Party Adventures to reach 1,000,000 Points but doing that would take a long, long time.

- FACTS.

- OMG He must be the strongest person!!

- But you also have to consider that most people could get close to 1,000,000 Points after their long-term Adventure ends.Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

- Snowman has 1.3 mil points though.

- Who knows? Maybe theyll surpass him?

- Why are you so pessimistic?

- Im just trying to lower my expectations! Having too many expectations would lead to disappointment!

- Ah, okay.

Seol expected that he would surpass 1,000,000 Adventure Points after the Adventure was over.

And in truth, he was hoping for a reward for surpassing 1,000,000 Points like how lovers exchange gifts on their 100th day dating.

But still, Im the first person to get it?

Since Adventure Points was a newly introduced system, Seol didnt know that there was an achievement like this. And as such, he also didnt know about the titles effects.

Seol lowered his expectations as much as he could and checked his new title.

[[Title: Affluent]

Related Achievement: A Step on First Snow (Adventure: N/A)

Bonus Effect: Gain additional skill points for your Adventure rewards.]

It was short but meaningful.

Oh my god

There were quite a few systems in place in Pandea to maintain the balance.

One such system was the level system.

If two people went on an equal number of Adventures, their levels would also be identical.

Seol, through eight Adventures, had reached level 11. And this was also the case for the other players as well.

But if you simply chose shorter Adventures to speedrun through them to gain levels faster, you would ruin the character.

Through leveling up, you would unlock a few important Adventures and increase your stats a bit, but that was all.

Eventually, players realized that going on Adventures with only leveling up in mind was incorrect.

Not only did your stats have to be high, but your equipment played a huge role too. Titles, conquests, achievements, etc. were also important.

But the most important thing, along with stats, were the skills you had and their proficiencies.

With his past knowledge, Seol quickly realized that this title, a title which he received for the first time, would be instrumental in snowballing his strength to greater heights.

If I get additional skill points with each Adventure, my skills proficiencies would increase exponentially.

Since Seol could amass additional skill points in the early game, as long as he continuously built them up, the skill points he accumulated would create a massive gap between him and everyone else.

Still, this made it really worth it to be so busy early on.

- This is super good, but I can accept it.

- Reaching a million points at this stage = was super busy

- I wonder what kind of butterfly effect these additional points will bring

- I doubt even ChatGPT would know.

It was just a relief that I was the one to get this title. It could have been dangerous if someone else got this first.

If another player had received this title instead of Seol, they might have even been able to catch up to Seol someday.

He wasnt working this hard simply because he wanted to be ahead of other people, but having someone catch up to him also meant that he wasnt reaching the highest potential that he could be. Therefore, Seol didnt plan on allowing anyone to catch up.

Masters laughing? said Karen.

Leave him alone. He does that from time to time. Just act like you didnt see anything, said Jamad.

Now that someone chatty entered the Shadow Space, it was filled with noise.

Seol then gave them a request.

Please just stay quiet once were in the city.

Of course.

I was always good at reading the room. Unlike that elf.

Woah, a troll who knows how to read the room?! Thats kind of romantic.

Urgh Please get stronger faster so you can expand the Shadow Space. Get me away from that elf.

Whats wrong? I was just starting to like this cramped area. Were neighbors after all, no?

We. Are. Not. Neighbors!

Seol grimaced and checked the other messages.

[Adventurer Points Leaderboard

1. Private (1,312,300)

4. Daerim-DongHamFist (450,080)

5. AttackonDwarf (391,810)]

The rankings have changed.

The rankings were still mostly filled with people who were on the leaderboards last time, and there was nothing really of interest other than the fact that the people who were ranked 2nd and 3rd last time had dropped down to 4th and 5th.

It seems like 4th place and 5th place are on a longer Adventure but whos ILikeBeingAlone?

There was someone new on the rankings.

Rank 3, ILikeBeingAlone.

Is it Mira? Or someone else? Well, regardless

Since the points gap that Seol built up couldnt be overcome with just an Adventure or two, he didnt put them into memory.

- Overwhelming!

- Woah He really does have a crazy amount of points.

- If he wants to walk around with a name tag that just says Private, I could respect it.

- I bet hed get a lot of dates if he did that.

[You begin your Rest.]

But luckily for Seol, he now had a way to gain information without using his gold.

I should meet up with Kibo.

Kibo, the leader of the ruin hunters in Nobira, was practically Seols helper now, after all.

What are you looking at?

As Seol was thinking to himself, Karen interrupted his thoughts from behind.

Nothing mu

Seol turned around to look at Karen without a second thought but he was shocked by her appearance.

How is it?

It looks pretty good?

Well, I might be a shadow now but I still need to look a bit charming, you know?

- NodNodNodNodNodNodNodNodNodNodNod

- I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-It looks nice, for sure

- Wow

- I think I blinded myself from her beauty.

- Karen was this pretty?

- Bring back Montra! Bring back Montra! Bring back Montra! Bring back Montra! Bring back Montra! Bring back Montra!

- I plan on killing whoever brought down the Empire. That was my goal from the start, my only goal.

Karen looked exactly like how she looked before her death. She had fair skin that was accentuated by her red dress.

She was reborn into a perfect elf.

Still, her hair colors still the same.

Despite having red hair in Karunas memories, her hair was gray.

Karen, noticing Seols eyes, shyly touched her hair.

I couldnt change this Alright, lets go. Where are we going?

Theres a place I planned to visit right away.

Alright.

She was eye-catching, not only because she was about as tall as Seol with a model-like figure, her gorgeous gray hair caught the attention of every Nobira resident as they passed by.

WhoWho is that?

Is it a troupe? I didnt hear any news about it though.

You shouldnt be so rude. Its obvious that shes a Lady of some noble house whos out for a walk.

Ah, I see. It must be quite the incredible house then look at her slave.

Yeah, definitely. Even her slave is dressed well.

- Slave?

- Is he talking about me?

- Fuck, its me.

- Beep You have been demoted to slave. LOL

- Its fine, Snowman! All you have to do is dress up too!

- Being ugly isnt a crime!

- Honestly, hes more on the handsome side Based on how you were so quick to call him ugly means that you must be ugly, arent you? LMFAO

- I plead the 5th.

Seol was a bit upset but didnt say anything. It was because he noticed Karen enjoying and humming to herself.

The world really has changed. The buildings all look strange now.

Really?

Yeah, everythings new to me. And then she continued, Except for me. Im the only one whos the same.

Seol didnt pry any further and continued moving.

Theres less and less people now. Why are we going somewhere so creepy?

Because the person were trying to meet lives here.

Someone lives here? I dont sense any Ah! Are you talking about him over there?

Point!

At the end of Karens finger was a man who had his hands behind his back.

It was Hamun.

Youre back.

I apologize for coming to see you without notifying you, Hamun.

Thats alright. Good news always comes without warning. More importantly, the person you brought

Shes my ally.

Hamun instantly nodded at Seols response.

Youve made an incredible ally. I could feel her powerful presence akin to a strong sword.

Did you hear that? Did he just compliment me right now? Youre pretty good, human! I also get a good feeling from you!

As Karen jumped around, Hamun gave a smile.

Come in.

Seol and Karen followed Hamun into his house.

Since Hamun knew that Seol didnt drink tea, he quickly got straight to the point.

So the reason you came here

Seol also was a person who didnt have much time to waste.

Place.

He immediately showed Hamun why he came here.

By passing over an item.

Hm Youve brought another tricky problem.

I apologize.

No, not at all. Its just that this sword its simply destroyed to the point that you should be thankful that its still breathing.

The reason that Seol came here was because of Karens destroyed Red Lotus Sword.

Then could I leave this sword to you?

Hamun inspected the sword for a long while before finally uttering
