Chapter 77: Buying A Bunch Of Trinkets
-----
After finally ranking up, I had enough accumulated experience for over two hundred more levels, ramping up all my stats and drastically strengthening my entire body.
I remember that before, the change was barely noticeable, almost like something that didn’t matter to me—a little toy of sorts.
But right now? It felt much more substantial, like I could clearly sense and feel the changes and growth I was experiencing.
Even the [Light] Stat ended up being surprisingly amazing in what it could do, enhancing the internal structure of my body, which is composed of pure light.Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
I slowly walked out of bed. I left Merkite sleeping on her own to better analyze the growth of my body.
“Hmm, not bad.”
It had indeed become much more noticeable.
At least, I had grown considerably.
All these levels enhanced my total physical strength and energy by at least ten percent.
That is simply ridiculous when considering how far I have cultivated.
If I combine my cultivation by comprehending the Dao with my leveling, I could actually and realistically get to the Immemorial Void Realm.
But that’s still too far. I need to continue growing; I simply can’t slack off yet.
I looked at my stats again, and the growth was considerable.

“So many numbers—oh, the [Light] Stat was already quite high from the get-go, huh? And it increased even more as I Leveled Up,” I noted. “But wait...
It seems that Stats that are supposed to only increase through other methods, such as Martial Power and Charm, still increase through leveling. This means that my Class allowed me to increase such stats.
“Martial Power enhances Martial Arts, and anything related to Physical Strength...” I nodded. “Charm is... Well, it makes me more attractive?”
I think Charm had more effects than that, such as being able to convince others more easily, amongst many other things.
But for now, these Stats are fairly decent; comparing them to anybody in my house would be a bit unfair, though. I don’t think anybody has stats higher than 200.000 at the moment.
Although that’s still pretty considerable, they might be able to catch up to my status someday, perhaps rather soon.
Well, only my status; that’s it. It is an additive power, as it doesn’t include all the inner power I’ve cultivated before obtaining it.
Nonetheless, this is good enough.
“Now, I remember there was something about Subclasses, right?” I wondered. “Can I pick a second Class?”
[“Ah, yes! It is something your own System created. It seems it will allow you to have two classes at the same time! You should probably choose one of the many you’ve taken from your foes, or combine them into something for you?”]
“Hmmm...” I rubbed my chin. “My former Class was made by breaking apart the divinities and divine classes that the Gods offered to be and combining them into a pill. I suppose I can’t do that right now. I’ll do that later. For now, show me the Raid Shop.”
[Displaying Raid Shop]
[Seed of the Death Tree (SSS Grade)] [Cost]: [300.000 Raid Score Points]
[Coffin of a Million Dead Souls (SSS Grade)] [Cost]: [300.000 Raid Score Points]
[Thanatos’ Urn of Souls (SSS Grade)] [Cost]: [300.000 Raid Score Points]
[Key to the Underworld (SSS Grade)] [Cost]: [300.000 Raid Score Points]
[Elder Lich Phylactery (SSS Grade)] [Cost]: [300.000 Raid Score Points]
[Available Raid Score Points: 29.000.000]
Oh? Interesting, they seem to all be of the maximum grade possible. And their cost is quite high.
However, what can these even do?
A Cursed Skull of Dark Nightmares? Does it produce nightmares?
Then there’s the seed, which seems interesting.
And a coffin—does it really contain a million dead souls?
Next is an Urn of Souls, and then a Key to the Underworld.
It was quite useless, seeing how I almost destroyed everything there, but maybe I could have used that key instead of just breaking in.
I had completely ignored the Raid Score Shop.
And lastly, an Elder Lich Phylactery. Hmm, from what I remember based on fantasy media before I went to Murim, liches are immortal through their phylacteries, right?
Even if their body is destroyed, they can keep recovering or transferring their consciousness to a new vessel; their phylactery is where their true souls are after all.
This is one of the things that makes them so terrifying, and it is also what gives them a big weakness at the same time.
Usually, you can always beat a lich if you can find their phylactery.
In the hypothetical case, if I use this phylactery on myself, I could place my soul in there, and even if my entire body is destroyed, I can quickly recover a new one inside my Inner Realm.
At the same time, my Inner Realm would remain always safe, so my phylactery would never be found.
Nah, it wouldn’t be so easy, wouldn’t it?
And above all, can I even become an Undead being in my current state? I think that’s only something mortals can do now.
I have transcended human flesh and human souls, and I’ve become a being of pure light.
If anything, I am more similar to a divine spirit in terms of physical composition than an actual living being.
However, I can also easily replicate and recreate a flesh-like body.
Now that I sit down to think, I am indeed rather alien-like compared to everything else.
“Hah... I better not overthink it for now. Okay, I’ll impulsively buy all the trinkets anyway.”
I have a weakness against interesting trinkets; these items aren’t equipment, but they all have their own unique things to them, so I could one day maybe use them. You never know.
Ding!
[You have exchanged 1.800.000 Raid Score Points!]
[You Purchased the following Items: [Cursed Skull of Dark Nightmares (SSS Grade)] [Seed of the Death Tree (SSS Grade)] [Coffin of a Million Dead Souls (SSS Grade)] [Thanatos’ Urn of Souls (SSS Grade)] [Key to the Underworld (SSS Grade)] [Elder Lich Phylactery (SSS Grade)]!]
[Raid Score Points: 27.200.000]
“Good, it feels nice to collect weird, strange, and mystical trinkets from time to time.”
It was one of the few little hobbies I had back in Murim.
I should probably try using them later, though, as I am quite busy right now.
I needed to quickly have breakfast and then start the pagoda creation.
Well, it’s already mostly done inside my Inner Realm.
Also, there’s a certain person I rescued yesterday, someone who was rather incredible.
I have healed him after his fight against the Primal King, and he has now fully recovered.
And he just happened to have woken up.
Using one of my Doppelgangers, I went to pay him a small visit.
He was sitting down on the small bed I had placed him on, looking around confused; he didn’t know where exactly he was.
“Where is this place? What... happened? Ugh, my head,” he groaned.
“You still look to be in pain; it was a bit hard to regenerate your brain after it was completely destroyed, but I am fairly sure I did a good job.” I appeared by his side.
“Uaaagh!”
He was so spooked that I appeared by his side; he fell from the bed right onto the floor head-first.
This young man might be sillier than I imagined.
