The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 24

24.

The small incident passed, and the next day arrived.

[Recognizing iris.]

[Verifying ID card.]

[ID card verified.]

[Synchronization complete.]

[Would you like to connect to God of Savior?]

“Yeah. Hurry.”

Seeing the message that popped up, as it always did, Dohyun seemed hurried to anyone watching.

He couldn’t help it.

‘I need to check quickly.’

He could finally resolve the worry that had been bothering him all yesterday.

He wanted to check the skill as soon as possible.

Whether the system knew Dohyun’s mind or not, it was leisurely and soon uttered a soft voice.

[Welcome to the paradise of adventure.]

[Have a pleasant journey.]

With those words, the view flickered, and Dohyun clenched his fist as he saw the scenery that soon appeared.

Because he had left Calde’s house and done the skill draw, he saw a back alley instead of the beautiful city scenery, but he didn’t care about that.

“Skill window.”

He was only thinking about checking the skill.

Ding-.

[There is an unconfirmed skill.]

[Would you like to check?]

The system seemed to be thinking the same thing as Dohyun for once, wanting to check the skill.

Accepting without hesitation, the skill window appeared.

And the moment he checked its color, his eyes widened, and the trembling stopped.

“Ah…….”

The answer to the worry that had kept him up all night was ultimately yellow, not gold.

‘I knew the color was a bit light…….’

Well, objectively, yellow is also excellent.

It’s a Hero-grade skill, after all.

Back in Demonic Realm, Dohyun’s highest-grade skill was Hero-grade, so how could he not be happy to have it already?

But.

‘I thought I might get a Legend for once.’

Imagine waiting a day in a situation where one number is covered, and if you get that one right, you might win the lottery, but you get second place.

Even if that one number was the same as the first prize in a fleeting memory, but it wasn’t?

Perhaps it creates as much disappointment as the memory of hoping to get a Legend-grade skill for the first time.

Still, his mental recovery was fast.

‘I’ve been too greedy lately.’

Since when was he so lucky? He’s been getting things too easily lately, so his discipline has weakened.

From the start, it doesn’t make sense that the Legend-grade, which is so hard to get, comes out on the first draw.

What are the odds of having a Legend-grade in just ten tickets?

There are tons of people who can’t even get a Rare-grade from the first random ticket, so a Hero-grade is more than enough.

No, it wasn’t just enough; he should be bowing down and thanking his lucky stars.

‘Yeah, a Hero-grade is absurd at my current level.’

Once he came to his senses, he was curious about what he got.

Isn’t this his first Hero-grade in G.O.S.E. [God of Savior Online]?

[Possessed Skills]

– Charge Slash

– Backstab

‘Huh? Backstab?’

Dohyun, who was checking the skill list, paused.

If he remembers correctly, this is definitely…….

As soon as he thought that far, Dohyun immediately brought up the skill information.

[Backstab]

– Grade: Hero

– Restriction: Assassin Class

– Description: Assassination depends on how well you can get behind your opponent.

Disrupt the opponent by getting behind them and deal stronger damage.

– Effect: Moves behind a target within a certain range.

At this time, the target is marked for a certain period, and it can be used once more before the mark disappears.

When reused, it moves behind the target again and inflicts a critical strike proportional to the accumulated damage to the target.

– Cooldown: 50 seconds

‘As expected……!’

Dohyun clenched his fist as he checked the skill.

Backstab.

A skill that is the exclusive property of assassins and the culprit that made ranged dealers avoid assassins.

Even if you create distance, they chase you twice with one skill, and it’s an absurd skill that even allows for psychological warfare.

If you give up running and get hit by a combo, you get hit by a buffed strike, and even if you run away recklessly, they chase you relentlessly, so you can’t help but hate assassins.

It seems that the skill composition is frustrating since assassins are specialized in PvP [Player versus Player combat].

Even Dohyun felt that assassins were like annoying flies.

‘But it came to me?’

There was a saying about Backstab in Demonic Realm.

If a melee class other than an assassin had Backstab, there would be no more overpowered skill than that.

It was said because PvP is gangster-like, but there is nothing as bad as an assassin in raids.

Therefore, the first skill set Dohyun thought of when he checked the adventurer’s unique ability was Backstab.

However, Backstab is a skill that assassins also consider essential, but it is not easy to get because of its high grade.

So, he didn’t expect much. He just thought it would be nice to get it later?

‘But…… I can’t believe I’m getting it this quickly.’

Following Charge Slash, even Backstab.

Most ranged dealers wouldn’t even be able to breathe in front of Dohyun.

If he gets a few more skills like this, an unprecedented dealer with no flaws in both PVP and PVE [Player versus Environment] will be born.

Bringing and combining useful skills from various classes.

This was the true power of the adventurer.

‘Phew…… I’m glad it’s my class.’

He sincerely thought so.

If someone else had gotten this class, they would have sent dozens, hundreds more inquiries protesting that the balance was broken.

But what? You’re disappointed that it’s not a Legend-grade skill?

‘I was arrogant, Kashiryark…….’

Dohyun was rebuking his arrogant past as if he had never had such irreverent thoughts.

If Kashiryark had seen this, he would have clicked his tongue, but Dohyun was just happy.

After that happy time of repentance passed,

“Equip item.”

Dohyun, who had equipped the Warrior Set that he couldn’t equip before the connection ended, turned on the customization system.

This was because turning on this system shows a full-body mirror.

“Oh, not bad?”

Dohyun, reflected in the mirror, was very different from before.

It’s the same leather material, but the Rare grade is definitely different. The top, which looks sturdier, was red as if it contained blood, and the epaulets were slightly mixed with black, making it a point.

Coincidentally, the necklace was also red, and the goblin belt was close to black, so the design wasn’t bad.

Clack.

With the huge red greatsword in both hands as the crowning glory.

A generally red and black man holding a greatsword as big as his body made him look even more dangerous.

With this much, he won’t look like an easy target anywhere.

[Warrior Set is applied.]

[Warrior Set Option>

-3set: Gives ‘Intimidation’ effect when facing goblin types. Additional damage +7% against goblin types, all stats +2

No one would see an Arde graduate wearing the Warrior Set as an easy target.

And that wasn’t the end of it.

[Equip the silver ring made by Calde.]

[Silver Ring Made by Calde]

[Grade: Rare]

[Description: A silver ring made directly by Calde. The materials are ordinary, but the crafting skill is excellent, so it seems to be of high value.]

[Level Restriction: 12]

[Equip Restriction: None]

[Physical Defense: 57]

[Magic Resistance: 41]

-Sense + 1

-Magic Power + 2

-Mana Recovery Speed + 6%

Even though it’s only 6%, it’s a ring with a mana recovery speed option.

Close-range classes regret that the stats attached are Sense and Magic Power, but even this wasn’t bad for Dohyun.

It’s good to have Sense, and there will be a time when he can use Magic Power.

[Player: Kaiser]

[Level: 12]

[HP: 1,870 / 2,050]

[MP: 350 / 500]

[Stamina: 190 / 350]

[Class: Last Adventurer [Apostle of Kashiryark]]

[Title (3)]

-Max Favorability From the Start?

-First Slayer

-King of Time Attack

[Stats]

[Strength: 35(+ 38)>
[Agility: 35(+ 35)>

[Stamina: 5(+ 35)>
[Sense: 22(+ 35)>

[Magic Power: 5(+ 34)>

Remaining Points: 0

‘Hmm. Very good.’

Dohyun, who checked the more evolved status window, nodded in satisfaction.

With this, his business in Arde is over.

‘Then shall we move on?’

Now, all that’s left is to move on to the mainland.

As he stood in front of the warp, a message appeared.

[You are qualified.]

[Would you like to move to the mainland?]

[You cannot return to Arde when you move to the mainland.]

“Yes.”

[You will be moved to the first city on the mainland, the first city, Raven, shortly.]

[5…….]

Dohyun, who was looking at the beam of light that warmly wrapped around him, paused at a memory that suddenly came to mind.

‘Come to think of it, I just left yesterday without saying goodbye.’

The end with the Shield Supreme party, which he had forgotten because he was struggling with the skill, now came to mind.

Perhaps because it was his first party here and he even caught the boss together.

He was a little bothered, but he shrugged.

‘Well, if we’re meant to be, we’ll meet again.’

Dohyun originally played the game mainly solo.

His colleagues were also coincidences at first.

As much as they formed a party by chance, they didn’t continue to be together after that.

It’s just that there were many overlaps in their paths, so they naturally did things together more often, and at some point, they became colleagues.

Looking back now, it’s amazing that such unique people gathered.

So, if he’s meant to be with Shield Supreme and the others, he’ll meet them again, and if not, it’s just not meant to be.

Therefore, Dohyun quickly erased his regrets.

Instead, what filled his head was the adventure that would unfold in the future.

‘Let’s see how well you made it.’

Dohyun closed his eyes with great anticipation.

[2…….]

[1…….]

[Moving to the mainland.]

And when he opened his eyes, a new world was unfolding.

* * *

All users who graduate from Arde take their first steps on the mainland with great anticipation.

Unlike the small and cozy Arde, the world of Abtartel, which unfolds in earnest, will welcome them, so how can they not expect it?

This was the same for everyone, regardless of nationality.

Korea, America, Russia, China, Japan, India, Australia…….

Everyone from all over the world gathers with great dreams, regardless of which country they are from.

Unlike Arde, where the server is divided by country, it is a place where everyone gathers and forms a party.

That was the mainland, and its first starting point was Raven.

“Wow……! Crazy.”

“Is this the mainland class?”

“It’s just on a different level? It’s crazy, really. Wow, what’s the scale?”

“There are a lot of foreigners too. It’s kind of amazing. It feels like I’m abroad.”

And the users who arrived in Raven all opened their mouths and were purely happy.

An overwhelming scale that cannot be compared to Arde.

The open sky and the enormous central fountain that looks like a waterfall is pouring down.

The noticeably developed buildings and the sight of countless people.

Clack. Clack. Clack. Clack.

“Everyone, get out of the way!”

“The Raven Knights have returned from their mission!”

Even the sight of the knights on horseback waving flags and entering through the chaotic streets was amazing.

The fact that the mainland is sensitive to crime and discipline, at least in cities, is true.

The users were just amazed at the chaotic scenery of the city.

“This is G.O.S.E…….”

“It’s not for nothing that they say the real thing starts from the mainland.”

The G.O.S.E., which they thought they had adapted to some extent by clearing the tutorial for the first time and hunting in Arde, was actually a well inside a frog [a limited perspective].

And that was the same for Dohyun.

‘Huh…….’

He’s speechless.

He expected it to be full-fledged, but it far exceeds his expectations.

He thought Demonic Realm was also considerable in terms of quality, but seeing this, he knew why the management guys were so confident.

-……God of Savior will perfectly fill the emptiness of those of you who are tired of VR that imitates virtual reality.

‘I hate to admit it, but that was true.’

Who could think this scenery isn’t virtual reality?

Who wouldn’t be satisfied?

G.O.S.E. was truly another world, not just a simple metaphor.

And users were invited to that world.

What woke Dohyun, who was stunned, was the NPCs’ [Non-player character] shouts.

“Hey, mister! Come and have our Raven’s specialty, Gray Beer! The red clothes suit you perfectly!”

“Oh, you shouldn’t drink alcohol from the early afternoon! Come to our store instead. I’ll give you a lot of service.”

“Red Lobster is something you eat on a date! A man should have a hot Ginapig Gukbap [rice soup], right?”

“It’s better to go shopping first~. We have a lot of pretty new products in stock, so come and take a look, handsome oppa [term of endearment used by women for older men]~.”

They smelled something from the dazed Dohyun, and they were clamoring to invite him to their stores.

They also know that many of the users who come to Raven for the first time forget about hunting and tour the city.

‘I can see why they’re so captivating.’

People spend hundreds of dollars and take 10-hour flights to go on overseas trips.

But just connecting to the capsule unfolds such new scenery, so it’s natural to want to experience it.

Dohyun was also human, so he was curious, but…….

‘It’s not too late to do that later.’

He was more curious about something else right now.

‘Skills, let’s use the skills first.’

As is often the case with users who only used basic skills when they come to Raven, Dohyun also wanted to test the two skills he had acquired as soon as possible.

So are the items he got this time.

[The systems that were locked are unlocked by entering the mainland.]

[Beginner benefits disappear, and you can use various functions such as arena, duel, and workshop.]

[The first city, Raven, is a city that announces the beginning. Enjoy the adventure on the newly unfolding stage of the mainland.]

[Tip. If you are a victim of a crime in Raven City, don’t hesitate to report it to the guards!]

That was why Dohyun ignored the refreshing messages that welcomed him to the stage in earnest and turned around.

He had to charge to the hunting ground as soon as possible.

‘Then shall we go?’

Dohyun, who loosened his hands, stopped as he was about to turn his steps out of the village.

‘……I have to get the quest.’

No matter how much he wants to hunt, quests are essential.

Experience is duplicated, so wouldn’t it be foolish not to do it?

Dohyun could only leave the city after receiving appropriate quests with reference to the strategy guide.
