The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 17

Part 17.

[Connecting to God of Savior.]

[Welcome to the Paradise of Adventure. Have a pleasant adventure.]

-Welcome, Master!

-Lizariza!

-You’ve arrived, my lord.

The next morning.

Seeing the Guardians cheerfully greeting him as soon as he logged in, Do-hyun chuckled.

“You guys seem to be in a good mood today?”

-Of course, we are! We’re finally going to the New Continent.

-Lizariza!

That’s right.

Today was finally the day to cross over to the New Continent.

The tiresome level restriction that had been holding Do-hyun back had disappeared.

-I’m so curious about how other races live.

-Lizariza!

-Oh, that sounds good? The New Continent is vast and home to various races, after all.

-Liza! Liza!

Eliza, excited by Jihad’s agreement, jumped up and down.

“What did she say?”

To see her so purely happy like a child.

Do-hyun, feeling curious, cautiously approached and whispered. Jihad also whispered back.

-She was wondering if she might find friends in the New Continent. Besides that, she thinks there will be many fun things to do. She was so curious whenever the Apostles were talking about it.

“Really? Hmm… that might be possible.”

-Right? And honestly, I’m curious too. I wonder if there will be others of my race?

Do-hyun nodded.

Unlike the Main Continent, where only humans live as intelligent beings, the New Continent is home to various other races.

It boasted a size incomparable to the Main Continent, and as such, many things were hidden, making it difficult to explore even a single island completely.

The message that appears when first logging in, ‘Paradise of Adventure,’ wasn’t just for show when it came to the New Continent.

‘Just considering Ellanis, there are three major races blessed by the World Tree, but if you count all the races, there are even more.’

A place teeming with various hidden pieces and hidden races.

An unknown island where the land yet to be trodden by users is more than the land they have already explored.

It wouldn’t be strange for races like Eliza or Jihad to exist in such a place.

‘Thinking about it that way, I’m getting excited. If I’m lucky, a Guardian quest might open up.’

And that’s not all.

Since the Fragments of Destiny are said to be in the New Continent, the main quest that had been halted can be resumed.

-…Honestly, I’m also looking forward to it, Master.

“You too?”

Do-hyun, surprised by Charlie’s words as he cautiously chimed in, trying not to show his excitement, nodded.

“Well, Charlie, you’ve never been to the New Continent either.”

-Yes. I’ve heard that there are continents across the sea where other races live… but I didn’t have the capacity to care.

For Charlie, whose mission was to protect Arren Castle, such stories were nothing more than fairy tales.

Because it was an illusion that he would never experience in reality anyway.

Do-hyun was also looking forward to it.

The main quest, the new environment, the other races, but what he was most looking forward to was this.

[You have reached the maximum level, and no additional stat points will be awarded.]

[You have reached the maximum level, and new content will be unlocked.]

[You have overcome all the trials of the Main Continent and can cross the sea.]

[The Transcendence System has been unlocked.]

[The Title System has been unlocked.]

….

[You have reached the maximum level, and one skill slot has been added.]

Numerous new systems unlocked upon reaching the maximum level.

[A realm that transcends the limits of a completed vessel.]

[Visit the Great Sage of Ellanis, the Fairy King’s Island, for your first transcendence.]

Among them, Transcendence.

‘Now it feels a bit more like it.’

Although Do-hyun had overwhelming power compared to his level, he was still just a rookie who hadn’t even reached the maximum level.

No matter how much he struggled, he was bound to be inferior in terms of stats.

But from now on, it will be different.

‘The first transcendence is trait transcendence.’

Since traits are very important in the game, the presence or absence of trait transcendence was a factor that was felt even more significantly than other transcendences.

‘I don’t know if all these traits can be transcended or if I have to choose just one… but I’ll find out soon.’

Do-hyun smiled and opened the skill window this time.

There, a previously empty slot was newly placed.

It was a skill slot obtained upon reaching the maximum level.

‘Hmm… this would be good.’

After pondering for a moment, Do-hyun moved his finger, and a message appeared.

[Hero Skill, ‘Fuse – Thread’ has been equipped.]

[The total number of skills currently equipped is 14.]

“Kuh, it’s just one more, but it feels different.”

He had contemplated a lot between Striking, which he had unequipped to equip Acceleration, but he decided that Fuse was superior in terms of creating variables.

Striking didn’t feel like a big deal right now anyway.

In any case, the preparations were now complete.

“Shall we go now?”

-Roger!

-Yes, my lord!

-Lizariza!

Do-hyun turned his steps, hearing the Guardians’ excited responses.

* * *

Moving within the Main Continent is very simple.

No matter how many kilometers away, you can move in just one second with a single warp [teleportation].

It’s an element that exists for convenience in the game.

But that convenience is only provided within the Main Continent.

‘From the New Continent onwards, it’s unnecessarily realistic.’

Perhaps because of the setting that human civilization hasn’t reached it, warps are extremely rare or nonexistent in the New Continent.

Even in the case of Ellanis, despite the presence of fairies, it’s the same.

Well, considering that they don’t leave their area, it’s a natural setting that there’s no need for warps.

The problem is that it’s very inconvenient for users.

Anyway, in such a situation within the New Continent, there’s no way you can teleport from the Main Continent to the New Continent in one go!

Kkiruk- Kkiruk Kkiruk-

-…Master. Weren’t we going to the New Continent?

-Lizariza…….

-Umm…….

So, this is where they arrived.

The only port where ships depart from the Empire to the New Continent, Ludia Harbor.

-Do we have to go here?

“Then how else are we going to cross the sea? Are we going to swim?”

-No, I’m asking if there’s a faster way… I guess not… Sigh…….

-Lizaa…….

-Umm.

The guys who don’t know the detailed circumstances just looked disappointed.

Even Charlie, unlike usual, wasn’t taking Do-hyun’s side and was even sighing in disappointment.

Charlie, who usually emphasizes solemnity, showing such a disappointed child-like appearance was quite novel.

‘It’ll take two days, what are they going to do if they’re already like this?’

There’s a reason why those called big shots in God of Savior were always late whenever World Quests opened.

Even the closest Ellanis is like this, what about other places?

Just thinking about it was annoying.

‘Didn’t Extinction say he was holed up in the third New Continent?’

If he were Extinction, he wouldn’t even show his face to the Empire.

Why bother going if it’s going to be over by the time you arrive, like doing pointless dog training?

[The ship to Ellanis is at Pier 3.]

[It will depart in 10 minutes, please prepare.]

Moreover, it’s not just a matter of boarding, you have to board at a set time, so there’s no need to say more.

’10 minutes… let’s just get on board in advance.’

There’s nothing to do nearby for 10 minutes anyway.

He was about to head to Pier 3, thinking of grabbing a seat in advance.

Just as he was almost reaching the pier.

Swoosh-

A man walked out from behind a ship at Pier 2, right next to him.

No, it wasn’t just one person.

Thud, thud.

Thud.

People continued to come out after him.

As if that became the fuse, people started appearing from behind the surrounding ships, not just the opposite pier.

‘What is this…’

He was momentarily stunned by the incomprehensible situation.

The moment he thought the faces of the people looked strangely familiar.

With a heavy footstep, a middle-aged man appeared last.

“I’m disappointed.”

“Huh?”

The moment his eyes met the man, Do-hyun exclaimed without realizing it.

It was a face he knew well.

“If you leave without a word like this, wouldn’t our Empire become a shameless country that doesn’t know gratitude?”

“……Your Majesty?”

The identity of the middle-aged man was none other than the Emperor of the Arnis Empire, Baharun de Arnis.

The welcome faces weren’t just him.

“We have also come, hero.”

“Tsk, what’s the rush that you don’t even give us a chance to say goodbye? I was going to have one last sparring match.”

The First Prince Lior de Arnis, whose sharp atmosphere had lessened a lot, and the Sword Emperor Garfield Drew, with his usual displeased expression.

“We have also come!”

“I heard you were leaving for the New Continent? I remembered you came to our shop last time, so I wanted to show a small token of appreciation…”

“You might get hungry during the journey, so I brought some food.”

“What are we supposed to do if you leave without a word like this!”

And even the residents who had exchanged greetings with him from time to time.

Among them were faces he knew and faces he didn’t know.

Do-hyun, whose brain had stopped due to the completely unexpected situation, was just staring blankly when a shout came from behind.

“Waaaaaaah!!”

“Hero!”

“Have a safe journey! We will always support Kaiser!”

“Please visit the Empire often! My child likes Kaiser very much!”

“Only the child likes him? You don’t know how much my wife likes him…….”

Not only was the street outside the pier surrounded by crowds.

But also the residents of the Empire who were leaning out of the building windows.

It was clear that just a moment ago, no one seemed to care about him.

This was as if it had been planned on purpose.

“How did everyone know I was here…….”

“How wouldn’t they know? Your name is all over the Empire.”

“Ah…….”

“Haha, I did receive some help.”

“I didn’t expect it. I didn’t think so many people would come to see me off.”

Especially to see them off with such a surprise event.

However, Lior gave a meaningful expression to Do-hyun’s words.

“I didn’t say it was them, though?”

“Yes?”

And at that moment.

Step, step, step, step, step.

Suddenly, black figures fell from the sky in droves and stood around them in formation.

A group of over 100 people, all armed with black robes and masks.

As far as Do-hyun knew, there was only one such group in God of Savior.

“Oh, God.”

“We have come.”

“Ah… Almighty God.”

The Kashin Church.

Whether they were quick to hear the news, they knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads, calling Kashin Almighty God.

“Waaaaaaah!!”

“Cool!”

“Kaiser! Kaiser! Kaiser! Kaiser!”

The people were even more enthusiastic about it.

-Kereukereuk, oh, this is. It feels so good?

-Liza! Lizariza!

-This is the achievement that Master has built up.

Behind the two who were just being cheerful.

Charlie continued to speak with a satisfied face towards Do-hyun, who was dazed by the strange feeling.

-Only blessings will be in Master’s future. This Charlie will guarantee it.

“…….”

More than a hundred people kneeling, hundreds of people seeing him off, and thousands, tens of thousands of people blessing his path.

What can I say.

That sight… was an indescribable spectacle.
