The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 65

65.

Before heading to the hunting grounds, Dohyun checked on Thousand Transformations first.

It was an artifact of Kasiyar, who had even massacred the Myth Gods. Its unassuming appearance seemed quite at odds with such a grand title.

‘Well… it’s still an artifact, so there must be something hidden.’

To think that this old staff is a god’s artifact?

That can’t be.

He couldn’t shake that thought.

The moment he checked the information of Thousand Transformations, Dohyun couldn’t help but be astonished. He wondered if his eyes could even widen that much.

[Thousand Transformations]

[Rank: Mythic [Hero]]

[Description: A weapon containing the power of Emperor of the Void, Kasiyar. It is said that he, who was called the God of War and the God of Combat, could wield and create thousands of weapons.]

[Equip Restriction: Kasiyar’s Successor]

[Physical Attack Power: 190~201]

[Durability: 100 / 100]

[Weapon Devour: Can devour weapons. Can transform into devoured weapons and use special options. When storing the same type of weapon, the previously stored weapon is ejected.]

[Ego: Responds to the owner’s call, and those who are not qualified cannot use special options.]

[The user’s level is too low to use the complete power.]

[Abilities have been adjusted to match the user’s level.]

[The attack power of the transformed weapon is adjusted based on the rank of Thousand Transformations.]

‘…What?’

It was a rank hard to believe, even seeing it with his own eyes.

‘There was a Mythic rank?’

At least as far as Dohyun knew, there was no Mythic rank.

Dohyun had spent three years in Demonic Realm, experiencing most of the content, but the Legendary rank was the highest.

The same was true in God of Creation Online.

Even the top-ranked players were all equipped with Legendary rank items, and there was never any mention of obtaining a Mythic rank.

Since God of Creation Online borrowed the rank system from Demonic Realm, it was a natural occurrence.

‘Is it the influence of the added God system? Or the main quest?’

It could be one of the two, or both.

Whatever it is, that’s not what’s important right now.

‘Crazy.’

What’s important now is that he obtained the only Mythic rank weapon in God of Creation Online.

Only he, among the billion people playing God of Creation Online. He can’t even imagine what kind of repercussions this fact will bring.

Not only the top 10 guilds, but all users will target Dohyun.

Even Legendary-grade weapons boast astronomical value due to their rarity and power, so a Mythic rank would be like a holy sword.

‘I thought it wouldn’t be ordinary… but this much.’

The weapons of Myth Gods like Hercules or Odin are also incredibly powerful, to the point that most users can’t even dream of obtaining them.

But even those remain at the Legendary rank. They didn’t create a new rank like this.

And even those weapons were not easily given to their apostles.

They could only be obtained after overcoming extreme odds and trials.

‘Compared to that, what about me?’

But what about Dohyun?

He just met her once, and that was it.

He could have lost everything with one word, but as a result, the fact was that he obtained a Mythic rank artifact with one word.

‘Ah… so she was just an angel. This lowly successor dared to doubt her….’

The faith that had been plummeting soared in an instant.

A neighborhood thug?

How could that be slander against such a magnanimous person who coolly handed over such a precious weapon as if it were nothing!

From now on, Kasiyar was a sacred sage and law to Dohyun.

‘Of course, she gave me her power, so it’s only natural.’

Other Myth Gods may have Mythic ranks hidden, but Dohyun was certain that Thousand Transformations was unique.

Thousand Transformations is clearly a weapon containing power.

There’s no way gods who aren’t sealed would hand over their power to their apostles.

It boasted the best performance and attack power of any item he had obtained so far, but it wasn’t quite at the level of a Mythic rank right now.

No, it’s a waste to even call it Legendary.

‘Just about Heroic grade.’

In fact, next to Mythic in the rank section, it was written as ‘Hero’ grade in parentheses.

It seemed to be a format where the seal was released according to the user’s level.

‘A type of growth item….’

Strictly speaking, it’s a sealed item, but the context is similar.

In other words, Dohyun had secured a weapon for life.

‘This is the best of the best at the Heroic level.’

Judging by the fact that it boasts top-tier performance even when compared to the same rank, the same will be true when it becomes Heroic+ and Legendary rank.

There couldn’t be a better situation for Dohyun right now.

Judging by the fact that attack power is adjusted based on Thousand Transformations, it seems that the rank of Thousand Transformations, not the devoured item, is important after all.

‘It’s a bit disappointing that Weapon Devour is a way of absorbing items….’

If it were storing information like copy and paste, he would have swept up items at the auction house, but it was a shame.

Only one item per weapon type can be stored, too….

It seemed that many weapons would be needed to utilize it properly.

Smirk.

But it didn’t matter.

‘I’m glad I didn’t sell them and kept them just in case.’

Dohyun still had many types of weapons left.

Various weapons that he had left just in case to utilize Weapon Master were sparkling in his inventory.

.

.

.

.

That was the situation now, after devouring all the weapons in the inventory and coming to the hunting grounds to check the performance.

Dohyun’s expression, after confirming the power of Thousand Transformations, was more excited than ever.

‘This is really crazy.’

It’s not just about transforming into various weapons.

The true power of Thousand Transformations was that it could be transformed at any time, in any situation.

Being able to transform even while wielding a weapon, while struggling with an enemy, or even in mid-air, was an ability beyond imagination.

‘This alone multiplies the number of ways I can use psychological warfare.’

Kaiser already has many skills to gain an advantage in psychological warfare over others.

But what if Thousand Transformations is added here?

‘I have no confidence….’

He really had no confidence. No confidence in losing.

Dozens of images of how to use it were already flashing through his mind.

Is this the power of a sealed artifact… If all the seals are released and it becomes a Mythic rank, what kind of power will it unleash?

Swish-.

Dohyun, who brushed off the goosebumps on his arm, swallowed hard.

In fact, this alone had already proven the power of Thousand Transformations, but what Dohyun liked most was something else.

-Ego: Responds to the owner’s call, and those who are not qualified cannot use special options.

The second special option attached to Thousand Transformations.

This was the ultimate option that decorated the finale of Thousand Transformations.

Aside from the fact that only Dohyun could handle it properly, no further explanation was needed in that it responded to the owner’s call.

‘…I’m done for.’ [Meaning: He is in a very advantageous position.]

It’s easy to recover the thrown Thousand Transformations, and if used well, you can not only give fakes but also launch surprise attacks.

But most of all, what’s best is,

‘It’s so cool, really.’

It has the romance that resonates with a man’s heart, the kind he’s dreamed of since childhood.

At this moment, Dohyun was no less envious than ToX or IXman. [Likely references to famous or powerful players in the game.]

Whoosh- Chak.

Whir- Chuck.

“Kuh!”

It was when he was immersed in this romance, throwing Thousand Transformations into the air and repeating the process of getting it back several times.

“What is that? No way. It’s not like ToX’s hammer….”

“No, but didn’t the weapon keep changing? Did I see it wrong?”

“…I guess so. Is that a weapon option too?”

“There’s no way. It’s a characteristic… it’s ambiguous to call it that, isn’t it a unique ability?”

“Where is there such a unique ability?”

“Then what else could it be if it’s not that?”

Dohyun paused at the whispers coming from around him.

When he looked around, the users who met his eyes quickly turned their heads.

They were pretending not to notice, but they couldn’t help but gather together and look this way.

‘…It’s not like Animal Crossing.’ [Reference to the game Animal Crossing, known for its friendly and social gameplay.]

Is it just his imagination that he was reminded of Charlie when he saw such a reaction after a long time?

Dohyun chuckled and grabbed Thousand Transformations again.

‘It was too noticeable.’

He understands.

Even if it were Dohyun, he would have been interested if someone was handling such a cool weapon.

…From their point of view, that wasn’t the problem, but everything was just a series of shocks, but anyway, that was Dohyun’s judgment.

He would have gone back if he had shown off this much skill, but not today.

‘There’s still a lot to test.’

He had only just checked the knockback option of Karuk’s Top and Thousand Transformations.

There was still a lot to check, including the S-rank graduation reward.

What’s more?

He also had to catch a thousand monsters. Dohyun was too busy to back down here.

Sreuk.

Dohyun, who grabbed Thousand Transformations again, grinned.

‘Shall we lightly catch about 100?’

It was the moment when a massacre broke out in the peaceful (?) salty rock forest.

* * *

How long has it been since he started hunting in earnest?

[Level has increased.]

[Dagger proficiency has increased.]

[Dagger proficiency has reached LV7.]

….

[Two-Bladed Axe proficiency has reached LV5.]

“Oh?”

Dohyun stopped at the message that popped up after a few hours. His surroundings were filled with orc corpses and blood.

The number of orcs visible in the immediate vicinity was more than ten.

Dohyun had taken down a number that others couldn’t even take down with a party, single-handedly.

“To think I’ve already raised 3 levels.”

Was it thanks to that?

Experience points were really amazing.

Considering how hard it was to raise the last 3 levels in Raven, there was definitely a difference in class between goblins and orcs.

He was slicing and dicing those orcs, so the speed couldn’t be slow.

The power of Thousand Transformations was also tremendous, but the root of this incredible damage was thanks to the stat upgrades from the rewards he obtained this time.

[The First S-Rank]

-Rank: Legendary

-Description: A great title given to the first person to reach S-Rank in the 1st Trial.

Avartelt trembles at the great achievement.

-Effect

First Strike: Deals 18% additional damage on the first hit.

Resilience: When health drops below 4%, damage of all attacks increases by 14% for 180 seconds, ignores health consumption, and is immune to knockback and stun.

[Top Graduate]

-Rank: Heroic

-Description: A title given to the person who passed the Continental Trial in 1st place.

-Effect: Rumors spread among the NPCs of the mainland, and related NPCs can recognize you.

All stats + 5

[The One Who Inherits Kasiyar’s Will]

-Rank: Legendary

-Description: A title given to the successor who inherits the will of the God of Combat, Kasiyar.

Those who inherit his will have a duty to collect fragments of fate. Collect the fragments of fate.

-Effect:

-Kasiyar’s Successor Mark is created, and related people can recognize you.

-Abilities are unlocked each time a fragment of fate is collected.

[First Effect: All stats + 7]

He got a whopping 3 titles this time.

Even two of them are Legendary, and even the remaining one is Heroic rank. The effect was so clear that even a five-year-old child passing by would applaud.

But the one that caught Dohyun’s attention the most was the one who inherited Kasiyar’s will.

‘The effect is unlocked each time a fragment is collected….’

Even the one ability that has been unlocked now is useful enough.

But it was still a bit lacking to be called Legendary. It was about the level of a Heroic title.

‘It’s a growth-type title.’

Maybe when all the pieces are finished, it will be better than most Legendary ranks.

Even if the performance is somewhat disappointing at first, it boasts the strongest performance of the same rank in the later stages.

That’s the scary thing and the true value of growth-type.

“Status window.”

Thus, Dohyun’s stats were born like this.
