After enjoying the victory and listening to the cheers of the human alliance, Yujun felt himself moving.
[Final stage for you to become an original player.]
[Fight the original player and defeat it. 0/1]
[Your level is adjusted to 1 for this.]
Yujun was surprised.
‘The final stage to become an original player?’
Now he knows the real reward of the second tutorial.
He doesn’t know what good will come from being an original player, but he was looking forward to it as it’s a reward from the second tutorial.
Also, there is something that stood out immediately.
His level is adjusted to 1.
‘Wait. If I’m level 1…’
Yujun quickly opened his status window to check his ability and level.
He was actually level 1.
His legendary title has also disappeared.
It was just a level 1 character with nothing.
‘What about Feranet?’
He couldn’t see Feranet.
There was no response even when he tried to summon to see if it was possible.
‘I have to beat an original player in this state?’
It’s a ridiculous trial.
How was he supposed to beat an original player who is 500 levels higher than himl?
‘Let’s think about it.’
If it was a trial that was absolutely impossible to pass, it would not have been called the second tutorial.
There must be some way.
It was when Yujun was lost in thought.
A handsome middle-aged man with a brown mustache appeared in the air.
‘Original Player.’
Such words floated above the middle-aged man’s head.
‘Huh? What?’
The original player was dressed like a beginner.
Moreover, his spirit was below expectations.
‘Is the original player level one too?’
Then there’s a chance.
No, it wasn’t just that.
It was then.
The original player spoke first.
“Is it you who will be my successor?”
A solemn and dignified voice.
But he looked strangely simple, perhaps because he was wearing beginner equipment.
Yujun spoke.
“The successor? Was the second tutorial the place to pick an original player’s successor?””
“Second tutorial? What’s that?”
A blank stare.
He didn’t know anything about the second tutorial.
The original player, who coughed several times, then spoke.
“You must defeat me. You can do anything as long as you win.”
“It doesn’t matter how I do it?”
The original player laughed at Yujun’s words.
“I don’t care. You and I are both level 1. However, there is a difference between me and your current ability that can never be overcome. My total attributes are over 100. To be honest, you will never pass this trial.”
“Really?”
The original player was confident.
Surely the difference in ability cannot be ignored.
What if the difference in attributes is 100?
It’s like a child trying to fight an adult.
“So what do I have to do?”
“You have to beat me.”
“You said I couldn’t win.”
“That’s an undeniable fact.”
“…”
“Be sure to beat me in any way you can.”
Yujun laughed as if dumbfounded by the words of the middle-aged man.
‘You want me to make the impossible possible?’
There should be a degree of fairness.
How can he beat an original player with a level 1 character?
In addition, the total amount of attributes is over 100.
It was clear that he had a better sense of battle than Yujun as well.
It was a fight he couldn’t win.
‘No.’
It wasn’t just that there was no answer.
He had come up with a way to reverse this difference.
Through items.
Yujun’s most powerful weapon.
Items were the only means to defeat the original player.
“You can strike first. I’ll give you a handicap.”
Said the original player with his hands behind his back.
He doesn’t seem to think he will lose at all.
Yujun didn’t get angry at the handicap.
“Sure.”
The original player gave him a good benefit.
It means he has time on his hands.
Yujun first opened his inventory before the original player changed his mind.
He took out four familiar items from his inventory.
The items were none other than the Super Novice set.
‘I never thought I’d use this again.’
He thought it would be of no more use after the Hell difficulty tutorial.
Somehow, another opportunity has appeared.
Yujun wore the full Super Novice set.
His helpless body suddenly began to overflow with power.
The original player frowned.
“Items? Such things are nothing but decorations. Real power comes from utilizing the player’s abilities.”
“That’s such an outdated idea.”
In the first place, with the power of the system, the old man wasn’t wrong.
“What?”
When the original player was puzzled, Yujun kicked off the ground.
There was no delay.
Yujun trusted in the Super Novice set.
Then it was the original player who panicked.
He gave a puzzled look for a moment and then stiffened his face.
“You can never be strong by relying on items! I will show you my true strength.”
Yujun’s sword touched the sword of the original player.
Psh!
With one swing, the original player’s sword was cleanly cut in half.
“…”
Unlike Yujun, who looked calm, the original player’s face turned grim.
The two swords hardly clashed.
Just by touching it, his sword was cut by Yujun.
With this incredible display, the original player opened his mouth.
“W-what’s this…”
Yujun did not miss this chance and swung his sword with all his might.
Huoong!
But due to the lack of ability, the original player easily avoided Yujun’s attack.
Since then, Yujun kept swinging his sword, but his attacks have never hit the target.
“Hu, hm. You seem to be using a pretty good weapon…but that’s not enough. I’ll show you the difference.”
The original player quickly regained his composure and took a new sword out from his inventory.
It looked like a much better sword than before.
‘That’s a level 1 hero grade sword. You said items were just decoration…”
The original player was using the most powerful weapon that could be bought right now.
Yujun held back his laughter and faced the original player who came right in front of him.
Huoong! Huung! Clank! Clank!
He wasn’t called a hero for no reason, as Yujun was helplessly pushed back.
The thing is, the sword wielded by the original player could not pierce Yujun’s armor at all.
Yujun had a faint smile on his face.
‘I was surprised, but it’s just that much.’
Knowing the strength of the original player, Yoo moved more boldly.
Ignoring the attacks on the vital area, he went on the offense
The sword hit Yujun’s armor several times.
However, his armor was too sturdy.
On the other hand, Yujun, who gave up on defending, slowly began to push back the original player.
“No way!”
An absurdity beyond absurdity.
The original player, who had been pushed for a long time, soon laughed in vain.
“Well…that wasn’t empty confidence.”
When the original player swung his sword and hit Yujun, the edge of his sword was chipped instead.
Whether it was a short or drawn out battle, it was a fight that the original player could not win unless he wore the same items as Yujun.
Yujun moved nonstop without talking and pushed the original player to a corner of the wall.
There was an end to the pure white space.
Yujun’s sword brushed past the shoulder of the original player.
Chwak!
It was just a scratch, but an excessive amount of blood burst out.
“Kuh!”
The original player could not easily stop the advancing Yujun.
It was the set effect of the Super Novice set.
Because of the increased Critical Hit chance, every attack by Yujun was fierce.
“Sigh…”
“Weren’t you going to pass on your original player skills in the first place? Isn’t that good? Why the sad look?”
The original player snorted at Yujun’s words.
“Yes, I wanted to pass on my powers to a talented person. But your talent is uncertain. In my eyes, you’re just a little kid who believes in the power of items.”
Such words from the old man made no sense to Yujun.
What kind of person is the original player looking for?
He doesn’t think anyone can pass the Hell difficulty tutorial with just talent alone.
Yujun kept silent for a while, then spoke.
“Item is also a skill.”
“What?”
“Players like you who say talent is important… I’ve seen countless of such people. What happened to them in the end?”
“…”
“I’m done. In front of money, everyone is equal.”
“What the hell are you talking about? I don’t understand. Those who are drunk with false powers…”
Huuong!
Then Yujun extended his sword again.
The attack was a fatal blow.
Psh!
The original player became particles and disappeared.
Unlike his expression, he was in a terrible condition.
“Huuk…Huu”
Yujun, who used all his strength, breathed out roughly.
“I certainly can’t ignore the difference in ability.”
If the original player had worn some better items, It wouldn’t have been easy to defeat him.
In a word, he could say he was lucky.
‘What if he had thrown away the Super Novice set in the past.’
At that moment.
Yujun’s body warped.
Inside the ancient ruins with the strange walls carved with pictures.
He came back to the place where he was before the trials.
And as always, holographic windows suddenly appeared.
[You’ve defeated an original player!]
[An impossible achievement!]
[All conditions have been satisfied to become an original player.]
[Obtained mythic title ‘Original Player.’]
[You’ve become an original player.]
[Your race has risen by one stage.]
[Obtained a Legendary Item Box (Pick).]
[Level has risen!]
[Level has risen!]
[Level has risen!]
[…]
Holographic panels that appeared in front of him at once.
Yujun clicked in the hologram window one by one.
He received an impossible achievement this time.
‘Wait… I obtained a Mythic title?’
Well, even when he looked at the original player status window, he could see this mythic title.
‘This is amazing.’
He didn’t know he would get a Mythic title so easily.
The difficulty of defeating the original player was not hard, just long.
Without the Super Novice set, he wouldn’t have been able to deal with the original player.
‘Original player… Let’s see what has changed.’
A title he didn’t have as ‘Non Paying Gamer.’
Yujun opened his status window.
[Original Player: Shin Yujun]
Level: 102
Traits: Composure (S)
Skills: Crushing Blow (B)
Titles: Original Player (Mythic) – All attributes increased by 25%, +5 other titles…
Attributes:
[Strength 95 (88+7)] [Agility 133 (106+27)][Stamina 92 (85+7)] [Magic 22 (15+7)]
[Undistributed Point: 152]
– 4 undistributed points are given upon leveling up. Also, by becoming an original player, you’ve earned 80 undistributed points.
– Can ignore the wear restrictions of items by up to 50 levels.
“…”
Yujun widened his mouth.
It was amazing.
“These benefits?’
The title effect was known.
But he didn’t expect any benefits for becoming an original player.
If it was the game, players would have bitterly complained that it was unbalanced.
‘Every time I level up, I’ll gain 4 undistributed points instead of 3. Isn’t that an extra 400 points when I reach level 500?’
His attributes will be higher than others.
This reward was like giving Yujun a stepladder.
Also, the effect of the title can’t be ignored.
Increase in all attributes by 25%.
An excessive effect even for a mythic title.
It was the simplest and most powerful effect he had ever seen.
Original player.
He was speechless.
That’s not the end.
It also has the effect of ignoring some equipment restrictions.
Even if it’s only 50, it was not a small number to Yujun.
No, it’s not an effect all players would care for.
Yujun’s eyes narrowed as he smiled happily.
‘Wait… I got another Legendary Item Box.’
Another Legendary Item Box was rewarded for an impossible achievement this time.
Yujun grinned.
‘So I can ignore the restriction up to 150?’
His level is 102, so he can equip level 250 items.
Yujun naturally chose the Rainbow Sticker from the Legendary Item Box.
[Rainbow Sticker]
Grade: Legendary
Option: When attached to a desired item, the wearing level restriction is reduced by 100.
The problem is that it cannot be attached to Mythic grade items.
It doesn’t matter.
There were no Mythic grade items at level 250.
‘Would it be better to use it on a weapon again this time?’
There is a saying that attack is the best defense, so he decided to invest in another weapon without worry.
Yujun flopped down on the ground where he stood and opened his inventory.
‘Let’s find a suitable weapon first.’
A Legendary grade weapon with a level restriction of 250.
He has to find it.
