Episode 20: The Hero-Level Title

Tiring-.

[Rewards will be given.]

[As a reward for ranking 1st in achievement, you received a variant Goblin Warrior’s red leather jacket, a variant Goblin Warrior’s red epaulets, and a variant Goblin Warrior’s red greatsword.]

[You have obtained the title ‘Time Attack Throne’.]

[Time Attack Throne]

-Class: Hero

-Description: A title given to the person who achieved first place in the time limit.

-Effect

Update: Every time you update your ranking, all abilities increase in proportion to your achievements.

Acceleration: Time Attack is always in a chase-and-run relationship. The holder of the throne will have to move faster.

-All speed +10%

[All abilities applied with the current update + 5]

‘Hero level…!’

A truly hero-level title.

Like the First Slayer, it’s a growth-oriented title with the option to grow steadily.

Considering that growth-oriented titles were rated highly than regular titles, this was a huge deal.

However, the difficulty of obtaining them was quite high…

‘I’m glad I got it early.’

For Dohyun, who still has a lot of time limit attempts to do, this could be said to be a significant advantage.

And even if it wasn’t that hard to obtain, the effect of acceleration was quite good.

‘All speeds 10%…’

When I think about how great it felt to get a 5% increase with the Blood Pledge Necklace, this alone was overwhelming.

In particular, the increase in all speeds means that casting speed is also included.

Considering that options that increase casting speed are rare, their value could have been valued on a higher level.

There was no magic stat yet, but there was a high probability that there would be something to use it, in the future.

There is a unique ability called Adventurer.

‘And it also applies to the speed at which the buff is activated.’

It was a satisfactory option in many ways.

“Wow, hero level!?”

“wow… Casting options are really valuable.”

“her….”

The party members were also entranced as if they had won the title.

Among them, Yu Bin’s expression was the brightest.

For her, who dreams of becoming a wizard, the 10% casting speed was like rain in a drought.

In the future, when you roll more than 15 magic spells, you will be able to use one or two more dealing skills than others at the same time, and in addition, you will be able to deal stable damage to bosses with status abnormalities using CC skills.

“I can get something like this…?”

“A hero level title in a beginner city… It was really crazy.”

The gazes of Yubin and Mi-Gan, who were shaking beyond admiration, turned to Dohyun.

Their eyes naturally met and they bowed their heads.

“Thank you. If it weren’t for Kaiser, I wouldn’t have been able to get this reward.”

“I didn’t do anything… It makes me wonder if I can get this alone. Thank you so much, brother. I will not forget this grace.”

I could feel the sincerity from them saying that.

The unwavering eyes and trembling voice reveal how deeply moved and grateful they are.

How could his feelings not be sincere since he won a title he never would have gotten, if it weren’t for Dohyun?

It wasn’t much different from the Chief Shield…

“Ah….”

For some reason, his pupils were shaking.

Then, when our eyes met, he trembled and then looked at me gently.

It looked like a child who had committed a crime was tripping over his own foot for no reason and was unable to make eye contact with his parents.

‘What? Did I do something wrong?’

Now that I think about it, I think I was going to ask you a question earlier…

Even taking that into account, if he was at fault, wouldn’t it be his fault for acting unexpectedly? I tilted my head in confusion, but fortunately, I was able to quickly understand the reason.

“I… Mr. Kaiser.”

“Yes.”

“That… Would you like to take a look at the names registered in the rankings?”

As Chief Shield said, I opened the system window and it was visible.

[Current record ranking]

-1st Place: Chief Shield’s Party [29 minutes 58 seconds]

-2nd place: ??? ‘s Party [35 minutes 11 seconds]

-3rd place: Annihilation’s party [39 minutes 12 seconds]

-4th place: Arthur’s party [41 minutes 07 seconds]

…

-10th place: Slayer’s party [46 minutes 35 seconds]

The name is registered as ‘Chief Shield’s Party’.

“I should have changed the party name in advance… It was registered in my name. I really don’t know how to reimburse you…”

“Ah.”

As Chief Shield repeatedly lowered his head, his back bent nearly 90 degrees.

If left like this, he was ready to bow down.

In some ways, it may seem like an excessive measure, but in fact, Chief Shield’s reaction is understandable.

‘It’s a huge privilege to be ranked number one.’

Even though it was only a dungeon in a beginner city, it ranked first in the rankings anyway.

Even higher than that annihilation.

This wasn’t just symbolism.

Perhaps in recognition of that achievement, you will receive a push from numerous large guilds, and you will receive attention as it comes up on the lips of numerous users.

This story is getting really exciting! What’s going to happen next?

I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not, but whatever it is, it means that your future gaming life will change.

Maybe I’ll get a chance and join one of the top 10 guilds.

“Sorry. I unintentionally caused harm. “If you want financial compensation or anything else, I will pay as much as I can.”

It was natural for Chief Shield to feel so guilty for unintentionally stealing the spotlight.

In the face of the Chief Shield, Yubin and Mi-Gan, who belatedly realized the situation, also looked like criminals.

The group hesitated and didn’t know what to do.

Dohyun didn’t think they would be that flustered.

‘I could just ask and leave.’

In the first place, no one knew that Chief Shield was the party leader.

He would not have expected to be ranked first, and considering that the time limit ranking is automatically registered in the name of the party leader, it wasn’t intentional at all.

There was no way the character rankings would have been kept private, and same as Chief Shield, there was nothing they could do.

I wouldn’t be able to blame him if he continued to show that and remain ignorant, but to do something like that was to show that he was the Chief Shield.

“It’s okay.”

“… … yes?”

And Dohyun was not cruel enough to prosecute such a person.

Of course, if he had any intentions of betraying , then the story would’ve been different.

Because it was the Kaiser’s motto to repay resentment a hundredfold.

However, Chief Shield didn’t have any such intentions, and he readily admits it and apologizes first.

“That could be true. I didn’t know I would win first place either. “Isn’t there anyone who didn’t know that the party leader was Chief Shield?”

“ah… … .”

Chief Shield opened his mouth blankly at Dohyun’s reaction, which seemed to be insignificant.

That response was because he didn’t know that Kaiser would say something like this.

‘Well, putting your name on the list isn’t really important.’

Actually, I said it in a grandiose way, but Dohyun really didn’t care.

spotlight?

Even receiving something like that just makes me tired.

And as you play from now on, you will inevitably come across situations where you will receive it.

‘What’s important is the reward.’

The reward for being number one in achievement was more important than being the main character.

Not only was the party leader named Chief Shield, but the first place reward, which was distributed differentially based on merit, was given to Dohyun.

[Variant Goblin Warrior’s Red Leather Top]

[Grade: Rare]

[Description: A top made from the leather of a variant Goblin Warrior.

The mutant Goblin Warrior acquired a subtle red color as it killed numerous warriors. This is a top made by removing contaminated skin and collecting only the leather that has turned red.]

[Variant Goblin Warrior’s Red Leather Jacket]

[Grade: Rare]

[Description: This is a jacket worn by a variant Goblin Warrior.

The jacket, worn only by great goblins who have earned the title of Warrior, is light, tough, and has high resistance to magic.]

[Level limit: 12]

[Wearing restrictions: None]

[Physical Defense: 70]

[Magic Resistance: 55]

-Dexterity +1

-Sense + 2

[Variant Goblin Warrior’s Red Epauletes]

[Grade: Rare]

[Description: This is an epaulet worn by a variant Goblin Warrior.

This is an epaulet worn only by great goblins who have earned the title of Warrior. It is light, tough, and has high resistance to magic.]

[Level limit: 12]

[Variant Goblin Warrior’s Red Greatsword]

[Grade: Rare+]

[Description: This is the favorite sword of a variant Goblin Warrior.

It is a sword that only one of the tribe’s warriors can hold, and it is said to have acquired a red color after absorbing countless amounts of blood.]

[Level limit: 12]

[Wearing restrictions: Swordsman series]

[Physical attack power: 108~131]

[Durability: 100 / 100]

[Special option: Attack power increases by +1 each time an enemy is killed. It stacks up to 12 times and is reset if the enemy is not defeated within 10 minutes.]

Also known as the warrior set.

These were the best items that could be obtained in the current range, ranging from Rare to Rare+.

They had correspondingly high attack and defense power as well as decent stat boosts, so they were satisfying just to look at.

‘The great sword is especially useful.’

Is the Rare+ grade different?

I really liked the fact that it was packed with special options that generally don’t reach rare levels.

It seemed like it would be especially good when hunting down mobs, but the performance wasn’t bad either.

“However, there was a separate option that made me feel the most comfortable.

<Warrior set options>

-3set: Gives an ‘intimidating’ effect when dealing with goblin types. Additional damage + 7% against goblin types, all abilities + 2

Set options.

These are usually special options attached to items found in raids, and are items that are more valuable when worn in a set than when worn individually.

And those items usually had a high drop difficulty.

The same was true for the Warrior set.

‘Nice… right. It’s a beginner city graduation item, so it needs to be organized.’

The best item set you can get here, commonly referred to as graduation items, is the warrior set.

As expected from the notorious Nando’s, there were literally only the best options.

Not to mention the extra damage option and an all stats +2 increase…

‘Status options are valuable.’

Although it was only applicable to goblin types, it was a valuable option.

Status effects attached to items that are not skills are valued very highly. Especially when it comes to coercion, it is a normal condition.

‘If this is the case, I won’t have to worry about the next city.’

No, there will be nothing better than worry-free.

Compared to the group members who only got one part at most, it was definitely a first-class reward.

It would be bad if I was in a bad mood.

“Everyone makes mistakes. I’m fine, so let’s just leave.”

“… Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Yes. So you two don’t have to be too sorry.”

“Still…”

Dohyun didn’t think it was a big deal and turned around as if there was nothing more to hear.

The purpose was to clear the dungeon and go out through the warp that was created.

‘Ah, I want to quickly complete the quest and get the item.’

Because I was still at level 10, I couldn’t try out the rewards.

That made me so upset.

It’s not Kim Cheomji, but why can’t I try wearing the item even though I got it?”

This story is getting more and more fascinating! What will happen next in the adventure?

I wanted to complete the quest as quickly as possible.

To be honest, from Dohyun’s point of view, it was more bothersome to keep saying sorry and going on for a long time, so he skipped it over… … .

‘iced coffee… … .’

It seemed that Chief Shield did not take it so lightly.

He looked blankly at Dohyun’s back and seemed to be somewhat moved.

‘He sure is different.’

The Chief shield’s eyes became bright.
