Chapter 118: Soul Legacy

"What the-" as soon as he received a series of notifications, he was dumbstruck and stood in place without moving for a while. 

Who knew that this could happen while he was just lusting after the loots of a high leveled player?

He really killed Liam at the wrong time. If he knew this would happen, he would've just kept on going without bothering Liam at all. Who cares if he was trouble, he could've just acted alongside him before leaving when the time came. 

Bothering Liam really was a wrong decision. 

He couldn't kill him even if he wanted to and even if he had the power to kill him, he shouldn't kill him. 

No matter what approach he took, it would've ended in a bad situation. 

But the thing is, why did Liam decide to keep them alive considering he had received this request? 

Was he searching for a whole new identity? One where he could stay clear of any troubles related to background considering he had been with Cylius for a while. 

So that when Cylius grows up to become a high-tier player, Cylius could verify his identity. 

One might be suspicious of a person that joined mid-way but one definitely wouldn't be suspicious of a person that was there from the beginning. Maybe Liam really wanted to do this or it was something else.

Who knows, Liam was already gone to talk about it. Even if he wanted to talk, it was likely that he can't now. 

[Those whose souls had been reaped will have their account deleted] 

This meant that the players he will be reaping souls from won't be able to enter the game again. He didn't really know for sure if this soul thing affected their bodies outside but the fact that they wouldn't be able to enter the game with that account again was quite a thing. 

The game was trending currently with many people live-streaming their plays and fights. 

They had many viewers watching them. 

Just imagine the concept of being able to advance the cultivation that had completely stopped for a long time just by playing games? 

Who wouldn't want that? 

The more power they had, the higher their status in society will be. 

Of course, getting stronger in the game wasn't easy. In fact, it was a complex process that was determined both by comprehension and various other requirements. 

However, it was definitely easier than the real-life where there were no quests and system to assist them. 

The game had only been released a year ago. It was just recently but it had acquired so much attention from both the federation and the monsters. In fact, people were already doubting whether the federation was the one who created the game. 

The effects of the game was just so miraculous. 

Even with the federation's technology, it would be hard to create a world that could help assist in comprehension. 

Well, the federation really could do such a thing where the people could comprehend a thing or two depending on the various simulations but miraculous items and materials that could assist comprehension exist in this world. 

Once you use it, you will be able to comprehend something. And once you go back to the real world, you will almost instantaneously comprehend it. As if you were just refreshing the comprehension and bringing it from another place. 

Can the federation really make people comprehend something out of nothing? No.

Maybe it is not 'nothing' and they could be using a huge amount of miraculous materials in order to make them comprehend that. But it would require an immense amount of resources and energy in order to pull that off. 

Not just the thing on how they were going to transport these materials into a virtual world that was basically just codes, the expenses of the resource would shoot through the roof. 

Why would the federation do that? It was completely disadvantageous for them. 

Not to mention that they too had also been sending people into the game for them to power up. 

Games were supposed to be just for fun but the extent this game had reached was making it not just for fun. People were treating it seriously. 

It wasn't just games, it was business and opportunity. Their life could depend on it. 

With the data he got, the power of the world had gone up ever since this game was published to the public. It was just a year since their existence, now what happens if it was one decade? What kind of changes would happen? 

Would the power of the entire world go up a notch? 

This concept just revealed how much potential this game had. 

Missing out on such a thing would definitely be disadvantageous for them and their future. 

So he would try his best in order to stay within this game. Just like other people, he will treat it seriously. 

"Use 2 free status points for agility and 5 free status points for intelligence"

[+2 agility]

[Agillity: 8]

[+10 intelligence]

[Intelligence: 45

Mana: 51]

Since he had many points, he used it for agility (speed). Since he was a mage and for a mage, other than the hp, intelligence, and mana stats, all other stats were useless, he didn't need to invest much in them. 

In this case, he just added agility so that in the future, it will be easier for him to escape. As for hp? It would be too much of a waste to use free status points for it. 

Hp - health would naturally increase in the future, besides, many items could increase them by bulks. 

For example, just seeing from the loots around here, he could already see some items used to increase it. 

.....

Now, the lightning wolf had already died and dropped its loots while Liam was also dead and was likely to not come back. 

It was just him and the loots here. All belonging to him, what a fortune. 

But first, he needs to get out of the party. It wasn't much useful staying in it anymore. With the loots and the power-up, he could take care of himself. It was easier going alone anyways. 

[You party member Jin had left the party]

"Oh?" just as he was going to leave, it seems like someone beat him to it.
