The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 151

151.

[Your score has been calculated based on the number of achievements, the significance of those achievements, and the recognition you have received for them.]

[You have updated your rank to S with a score of 6,014.]

[The maximum rank for the Third Trial is S, and no higher rank can be assigned. However, due to the overwhelming score, you will receive enhanced rewards.]

[You have achieved the impossible, ranking first with an unbelievable score.]

[By achieving an incredible feat, the title ‘Incredible Score’ is activated.]

[All stats increase by +5.]

[The effect of the Throne of Time Attack is activated. All stats increase by +5.]

[The rankings for the Third Trial have changed.]

[You will receive an S-rank reward.]

[You have acquired the Stone of Succession (Permanent), Hero’s Cloak, and 34,153G as rewards.]

[Recorded in the Book of Adventures.]

A barrage of countless messages poured out.

Watching the message bomb that was enough to make him dizzy, Do-hyun clicked his tongue.

‘It’s no joke this time either.’

He had roughly expected it, but it was still amazing to experience it again.

In particular, the score was higher than expected.

‘6,014 points… That’s almost 1,500 points higher?’

Even so, he thought it would be lower than during Brion’s time, when he was the envy of all the NPCs [Non-Player Characters], but on the contrary, an even higher score was recorded.

It seemed that defeating the Outlaw was considered a greater achievement than he had thought.

‘Well… he was an absurd guy.’

Even thinking about it again gave him goosebumps.

Not only that, he caught someone he wasn’t supposed to catch, and he even met the Lord for the first time.

Perhaps the achievements he had accumulated while proceeding with the main quest had an impact.

There were so many things that happened that he couldn’t even grasp it.

[Hero’s Cloak]

[Grade: Hero]

[Description: A cloak that is a symbol of a hero.

A cloak worn by a hero who saved a city in the past, it has the power to deflect magic.]

[Level Restriction: 49]

[Wearing Restriction: None]

[Defense Power: 50]

[Magic Resistance: 70]

[Durability: 60 / 60]

[Magic Resistance: Magic resistance is additionally increased by 100.]

[Magic Reflection: Can deflect magic of rare grade or lower with the cloak. (Cooldown 20 seconds)]

‘Oh…….’

Was that why? The reward was also excellent.

He liked that it was a Hero-grade sub-equipment that was hard to obtain, and even more so because it had options that were useful when fighting magicians [magic users].

It was a very good option for Do-hyun, who was still focused on close combat.

But this was just an appetizer. The main course was separate.

[Stone of Succession (Permanent)]

[Grade: Legend]

[Description: A precious stone said to have existed since ancient times.

It contains the power of succession, and among them, there are very rare stones that can charge the power of succession.]

[Succession: You can inherit the options of an existing item to another item. (Discharged after 3 uses)]

-Special materials are required to charge when discharged.

‘This is the real jackpot.’

Do-hyun swallowed as he checked the main reward.

It was a Legendary-grade item!

It was the third Legendary item Do-hyun had obtained.

‘Succession…….’

An option that was worth the Legendary grade.

He had never seen a stone with such an option before.

There was an NPC in the Demonic Era who would do it as a one-time thing after receiving a lot of high-grade materials, but there was no stone that would do it permanently.

‘If there was something like this, I would have obtained it by any means.’

It would have been like a light to him, who had such desperate luck.

And as far as Do-hyun knew, he had never heard of such a stone in God of Creation Online either.

It was probably certain.

Due to the nature of succession, it couldn’t be unnoticed. At least, it was certain that it hadn’t fallen into the hands of famous people.

‘Maybe this is the enhanced reward.’

Do-hyun raised the corners of his lips at the very satisfactory reward.

‘Three chances… I need to use them carefully.’

It was possible to revive it using special materials, but the conditions would definitely not be easy.

It was certain that impossible conditions would be required.

Do-hyun, who decided to use it slowly later, equipped the cloak.

[You have equipped the Hero’s Cloak.]

[You can use special options.]

Then, when he checked the customization mirror, he was greeted by a slightly different appearance than before.

It was like wearing a hood inside armor.

There was a hat that seemed to be somewhere between white and ivory on the back of his neck, and a cloak of the same color fluttered beneath it.

‘The design is good.’

It felt like the somewhat bland design had become richer.

Do-hyun, who was looking at it with satisfaction, suddenly turned his gaze to an item in his inventory.

[Soul of Pain]

[Grade: ??]

[Description: An unknown substance. It feels like something supernatural will happen.]

‘I don’t know what this is used for.’

It was an item he had obtained after catching the leader of the Outlaws.

There was no proper explanation of the grade or description, so he had no idea what it was used for.

He was just guessing that it might be useful since it came from catching that monster.

It was then.

“Ah…….”

A strange voice was heard from somewhere.

The voice was not alone.

“Oh my god… Lord, is your body really getting better…!?”

“……Yes. That’s right. I feel even healthier than before, Butler!”

-I can’t believe it, Jay. What kind of miracle is this! Am I seeing things?

Jay Roodel and two people shed tears, constantly exclaiming in admiration.

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, he remembered that the Dark King had cured Jay Roodel’s illness before leaving.

He was weak and so on, but he couldn’t help but be a tsundere [a character who is initially cold or hostile but gradually shows a warmer, more affectionate side].

At the same time, he was also impressed.

‘Such a miracle with just a flick of a finger…….’

Was it not an exaggeration to say that Outlaws were not even worth a handful?

He couldn’t even imagine how strong the ancient kings were.

And to what extent would the gods be, who had joined forces with other races and still struggled until Kasiar appeared…….

‘Ugh, let’s think about it later.’

Do-hyun shook his head, his head aching from the long way to go.

Now was not the time to worry about that.

“Ah, hero… No, hero who received the revelation of God.”

Jay Roodel and the butler, their eyes moist with emotion, knelt down and bowed deeply.

It seemed like a scene he had seen in Brion, and sure enough.

Jay Roodel continued.

“I heard rumors that a hero who received the revelation of the goddess appeared in Brion. A true hero with a noble character… You were that person.”

-I never thought I would see a hero who received the revelation of God in my lifetime… Ah, not in my lifetime. Because I’m a ghost.

“Jin, please show some respect now.”

It seemed that he had been misunderstood again.

“To save Sargis after Brion… Ah, God has not abandoned us. Because he sent a hero to save us.”

“We have received so much grace. I really don’t know how to repay it…….”

“…….”

Do-hyun repeated opening and closing his mouth, then closed it.

It was now annoying to explain.

Having witnessed even the will of the Dark King and experienced a miracle, what could he explain?

‘In fact, I am a descendant of ancient humans, and the gods are bad guys. The man I just saw is hell-bent on killing God, and I am his accomplice!’

‘……I can’t say that.’

If he did that right away, wouldn’t he turn the Lair Temple into an enemy?

Do-hyun shook his head, thinking of Lord Leved for a moment.

‘Let’s just be an apostle of God.’

Since it has come to this, it would be easier to just be a hero who received the revelation of God.

“Yes, that’s right. I am the apostle who received the revelation of God.”

-……Master? Did you eat something wrong?

-My lord……?

-Li, Liza?

Ji-had and Charlie looked at Do-hyun in surprise at Do-hyun’s sudden declaration.

Did I just hear things?

The guys looked around, turning their heads this way and that with such eyes, but Do-hyun gritted his teeth and ignored them.

It was a somewhat cheesy remark, but even that was a feeling of emotion for them now.

“Oh oh……. As expected!”

“There must be a reason why you saved me, who had given up on life. I can’t just sit still like this.”

-Yes, Jay. Maybe it was all destined for me to meet the hero. This must be God’s will for you to become a great lord and lead the city!

“Uncle……!”

They were all hugging each other and making a fuss.

Do-hyun, who didn’t have the confidence to get in between them, eventually turned his head.

Anyway, it was good to give them hope in life.

It was then.

-Huh?

“……Uncle?”

Jin Roodel’s form became noticeably faint.

It was the phenomenon that the Dark King had shown before disappearing.

[The Yin energy remaining here is disappearing.]

This was because the Yin energy had disappeared by completing the key and obtaining the fragment of fate.

He, who was originally an invisible being, was also disappearing.

-Jay.

Perhaps sensing that it was the end.

Jin Roodel’s voice became heavy for the first time. Seeing Jin Roodel looking at him with a serious face, Jay Roodel spoke in a trembling voice.

“……Are you disappearing too, Uncle?”

-I’m not disappearing. I’ll always be by your side, Jay. It’s just that you can’t see me because I’m a ghost.

“Ah…….”

Jay Roodel, who let out an exclamation as if relieved, became urgent at the fact that suddenly came to mind.

“But, then you won’t be able to go to heaven.”

Those who stay in this world for a long time cannot be reincarnated.

That was an immutable law.

Jin Roodel had already stayed for several years, so he wouldn’t have much time left.

It was right to say goodbye at this point, but Jin Roodel just smiled.

-So, you should do your best. My wish is for you to become a great lord.

“……Ah.”

-It’s been a while since God’s will is the same as mine. This is rare.

Jin Roodel, who smiled, put his hand on Jay Roodel’s head.

Then, he looked at him with satisfaction and uttered his last words.

-Be sure to become a great lord. More than your father.

Perhaps sensing that it was no longer time to be spoiled.

Jay Roodel’s eyes, wiping away tears, became clear.

With a determined face, he nodded.

“……Yeah. I will. Watch me.”

-You’ve grown up. Ah, and if possible, say hello to Emily. Ah, there was Isla too? And Shana and Berry… and…….

Jin Roodel, who said that far, couldn’t continue.

“Uncle…….”

Time was up and he disappeared.

-Ah, there are still three people left… I can’t help it. Sorry Lina, Gina, Jamie.

“…….”

Of course, Do-hyun still saw Jin Roodel, who was still spouting useless words.

……For a moment, I thought that man was cool.

It was when Do-hyun shook his head and ignored Jin Roodel, who was feeling sorry.

“……Lord. Are you okay?”

The butler asked carefully, watching his mood.

He was worried that the kind-hearted lord would be sad, but contrary to expectations, Jay Roodel answered cheerfully.

“I’m fine. I’m going to have a lot of work to do. To help our popular uncle go to heaven.”

Was it unexpected?

The butler, who had his eyes wide open, soon smiled contentedly and bowed his head.

“Yes. It will be busy. This old butler will do his best to assist you.”

“Thank you, Butler.”

“Just give me any orders.”

“There are so many that it’s hard to decide. You need to take care of your health?”

Jay Roodel said that and turned his body.

He said it like a joke, but he really had a lot of work to do in the future.

He had to deal with the things that had been delayed due to health problems, and he also had to deal with corrupt officials and establish discipline.

But he seemed to know what to do first.

Step by step.

Jay Roodel, who left the room, passed through the hallway, and came down to the terrace on the second floor, shone his eyes.

“Get ready, Butler.”

“……What are you talking about?”

Jay Roodel, who glanced at the butler who was looking with a doubtful eye, smiled.

“I’m talking about preparing for the aftermath that will happen soon.”

“The aftermath is…….”

Jay Roodel, who said that, opened the door to the terrace.

Then, hundreds of thousands of users and residents surrounding the castle welcomed him.

* * *

Meanwhile, a little before Jay Roodel stepped out.

The users outside the castle were in chaos.

Buzzing-

“Oh! Get out of the way! I’m suffocating.”

“Are you the only one who’s having a hard time!? Why are you so selfish? Wait calmly.”

“What!? What did you say!”

An overwhelming number that exceeded thousands, tens of thousands, or perhaps hundreds of thousands.

If you add the NPCs, the number of people surrounding the castle was so large that you couldn’t even count them.

A phenomenon that was happening for the first time in Sargis in over a year, except for the early days.

“Look at the crowd……. Wow, I can’t even walk around. Should I just log out?”

“No! Who knows when Kaiser will come out!”

“Kaiser or whatever, I’m about to log out due to being crushed to death, is that important?”

“It’s important!”

“……I agree.”

This phenomenon was all happening because of one person, Kaiser.

Everyone was busy complaining about it, and this place had become a battlefield that surpassed the sale mart [a crowded marketplace].

“E, everyone, stop the apostles [followers].”

“Damn it! It’s out of control!”

“Knight Order! Call more Knight Order right now!”

Eventually, the guards, who were embarrassed by this overwhelming crowd, were about to summon the Knight Order in a sense of crisis.

It was then that the commotion did not stop.

Ting-

A cheerful notification rang in the ears of all users at the same time.

Now that they were not doing any quests, there was no reason for the notification to ring. Unless it was a server message that rang throughout the entire server.

“……Huh?”

“Could it be?”

For a very short time, silence flowed as if they had never made a fuss.

At that moment, a message window appeared in front of them.

[The ranking of the Third Trial has changed.]
