<Magic Power: 5 (+59)>
Remaining Points: 25
“Wow… even I have to admit this makes no sense.”
Thanks to investing 10 points each, his Strength had reached a staggering 144, and both Agility and Senses exceeded 100. Even his Vitality and Magic Power rivaled same-level mages and tanks.
And after all that, he still had 25 unallocated points.
Who would believe it? Even if he took a screenshot and posted it online, people would call it edited.
‘This is exactly the direction I wanted.’
After awakening his class, this was the path Dohyun had aimed for—the path of the All-Master.
A jack-of-all-trades either became a true all-purpose powerhouse who devoured every class… or ended up half-baked in everything.
Objectively speaking, Dohyun was the former.
‘And this isn’t even the end.’
Reaching S-rank hadn’t only granted him a title. Graduation quests awarded tiered rewards based on performance.
And the S-rank reward was currently equipped on Dohyun’s body.
[Black Raven Spear]
Grade: Hero
Description: A spear containing the dark origin of Raven, the First City.
Its mana affinity is exceptional, drawing out the power of its essence to enhance Magic Power and Strength.
Level Requirement: 24
Equip Restriction: None
Physical Attack: 194–208
Magic Attack: 190–200
Durability: 100 / 100
Special Option: +5% Magic-related Damage
Special Option: Increased Penetration & +1% Attack Power for 30 seconds upon piercing an enemy (Max 6 stacks)
[Black Raven Earring]
Grade: Hero
Description: An earring containing the dark origin of Raven, the First City.
Its mana affinity is exceptional, drawing out the power of its essence to enhance Magic Power and Senses.
Level Requirement: 24
Equip Restriction: None
Magic Resistance: 40
Durability: 50 / 50
Special Option: +4% Magic Casting Speed
Special Option: +6% Power of Magic-related Skills
Being Hero-grade was great, but that wasn’t the true value of these items.
<Raven Trial Set>
2 Set: Upon piercing an enemy, reduces the target’s Movement Speed by 4% (Max 5 stacks).
When a magic attack hits, it burns the target’s mana proportional to the damage dealt.
A rare set effect that activates with only two pieces.
And the performance was absurd.
Movement speed reduction and mana burn were not only useful for hunting—they were game-changing in sieges and PvP.
‘Mana burn would be brutal in PvP.’
Raid bosses might have massive mana pools, but players often struggled with mana shortages.
Landing magic to burn their mana in that situation? Devastating.
Stab to slow them.
Cast magic on the slowed enemy to exhaust their mana.
‘Was this made to tilt people?’
It was clearly designed to infuriate opponents.
Though normally only a Magic Spearman could fully utilize both effects—this time was an exception.
Equip Restriction: None.
A Hero-grade spear and earring with no equip restriction—one of the rarest weapon types in the entire game.
A graduation reward worthy of S-rank.
‘A mage would make the best use of this.’
It would help cover close-combat weaknesses while maximizing the options.
Though it didn’t matter to Dohyun.
With his absurd stats, he could claim to be a mage the moment he acquired magic skills.
Screeeech!
Perhaps he’d stood still too long.
An orc charged from the left with a savage roar. Dohyun immediately placed Cheonbyeon (Thousand Transformations) against the spear.
Light flowed from Cheonbyeon and swallowed the weapon.
[Cheonbyeon devours the ‘Black Raven Spear.’ Successful.]
[Cheonbyeon transforms into the ‘Black Raven Spear.’]
Now a black, razor-sharp spear, Cheonbyeon traced a graceful arc as Dohyun stepped in a wide circular motion.
What seemed like a horizontal slash suddenly halted mid-rotation—
—and shot forward in a straight line.
[Judged as First Attack. ‘First S-Rank’ effect activates.]
[Deals 18% additional damage.]
[Penetration increased.]
[Pierced enemy. Attack Power +1% for 30 seconds.]
[Set effect reduces target’s movement.]
[You have slain an Orc.]
“Nice grip.”
That was it.
Ssshhh…
The orc collapsed with the sound of air escaping, its heart pierced clean through.
Without pause, Dohyun swung again.
An orc attempting a sneak attack from the opposite side had its neck severed.
[Judged as First Attack. ‘First S-Rank’ effect activates.]
[Deals 18% additional damage.]
[You have slain an Orc.]
Two orcs eliminated instantly.
Through the fog, silhouettes retreated—the orcs fleeing after witnessing the effortless slaughter.
Dohyun clicked his tongue.
“They’re running now?”
—Isn’t that normal instinct, Master? I’d run too.
“I don’t want to hear that from someone who told me to stop because he got hit in the knee.”
—…That was ages ago. And it wasn’t my knee—it was higher up. Somewhere deeper.
“What are you even saying? Monsters these days have no persistence. Right, Eliza?”
—Riza?
Eliza tilted her head innocently.
Dohyun sheathed Cheonbyeon.
Truthfully, this was natural.
[The aura of death thickens. The fog grows denser.]
[Orcs are more likely to flee.]
‘There it is.’
A message unseen in Raven.
But one he’d grown sick of seeing in Demrock.
Monsters fleeing or ambushing from behind—standard behavior there.
It would be stranger if a game with higher AI didn’t implement such systems.
‘So that’s why they say Brion is where the real game begins.’
He didn’t know it, but this phenomenon wasn’t common even in Brion.
Since job quests started here, most players crowded the Fetid Rock Forest. To prevent monopolization, a system triggered only when someone hunted so excessively it appeared like monopolizing.
Which meant—
Dohyun’s hunting speed was being mistaken for monopoly-level farming.
“Let’s go deeper.”
—…You don’t believe me, do you? That’s it, right? Where did everyone—? Now you’re ignoring me.
—Riza!
Unaware of the reason, Dohyun’s party only had one choice.
Go deeper.
As they pursued the fleeing orcs, cutting down group after group—
“Whoa… who is that guy? He just swipes and orcs die.”
“Damn, is that a hack?”
“There’s no hacking in this game… but that’s suspiciously strong.”
“What’s this Death Aura message? Did a guild trigger it?”
“Which guild idiots caused this mess?”
“I can’t see anything. Let’s pull back.”
Ignoring the noisy players, Dohyun marched forward.
Eventually—
Only orc silhouettes greeted them in the thickened fog.
—Monsters near Brion defeated [249 / 1,000]
“Whew.”
He’d passed his initial goal of 100, reaching 249 kills.
It wasn’t fatigue.
Not even his HP dropping to 150.
[Remaining Play Time: 00:03:47]
‘Already?’
Time had nearly run out.
But today had been spectacular.
Graduating from Raven.
Obtaining Eliza.
Reaching Rank 1.
Clearing the main quest.
Slaying 249 orcs.
‘That’s insane.’
Ten hours well spent.
He turned around.
—Hm?
—Riza?
Jihad met his gaze, Eliza perched on his shoulder.
They even tilted their heads the same way.
—Why are you looking at me like that, Master? Did you hear?
“Hear what?”
—Nothing.
Dohyun frowned.
“Eliza, I’ve gotta go.”
—Already?
“It’s been 10 hours.”
—Ah… true.
Jihad’s expression was strange.
Dohyun had expected excitement.
Instead—
[Faith: 30 / 100]
—What about Eliza?
“Hm?”
—Is she going to another world like me?
“Another world?”
‘The Guardian Room.’
When users log out, guardians move to the Guardian Room to prevent accidents.
“Of course. Why?”
—…Right. Nothing.
“Is it uncomfortable?”
Jihad shook his head.
—We just met again after so long. It’s… a bit disappointing.
—Riza… Riza!
Eliza rubbed her face against Jihad’s cheek affectionately.
‘They reunited after 150 years.’
Now Dohyun understood.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.”
—…How soon?
“Around the same time as today.”
—Got it, Master.
Feeling awkward in the warm atmosphere, Dohyun changed the topic.
“Let’s move.”
—Leaving already?
“No. I’m logging out—but I’m killing one more before I do.”
—…You’re ruthless.
—Riza…
He ignored them.
True hardcore gamers optimized every second.
And 249?
Too unsatisfying.
250 was clean.
Less than two minutes remained, but that was enough.
He stood to move—
—Hm?
—Riza?
“……I know.”
—Then why are you—
“Be quiet.”
He wasn’t looking at the orcs.
He was staring into empty space.
“What is that?”
—There’s nothing there.
But Dohyun saw it clearly.
‘Why are those rocks red?’
Two rocks drenched in blood.
And atop the left one—
Something small.
Glowing darker than blood.
[Eye of Truth activates.]
For the first time in Brion—
The Eye of Truth awakened.
