BXBX NOVEL Chapter 180 - [11th Round] I Guarantee
Chapter 180 - [11th Round] I Guarantee
The First Hero. He looked young, in his late teens. However, there was a strong atmosphere of exhaustion and decay about him, like a time-worn father. His attire looked more like an adventurer than a king. However, the medals on top reminded me of a spaceship captain from a science-fiction movie.
His surroundings were also unusual. On the left and right of me, facing him, sitting on a large chair as wide as a sofa, were many men and women. It didn’t seem that they were his servants. What king in the world would leave his servants naked, after all?
They each had a name tag hanging around their necks, and they didn’t move except to blink or roll their eyes. A very bizarre sight.
The First Hero explained with a calm face.
“They are heroes and heroes who resisted or challenged me. I hire them because outstanding people persuade me, but the clumsy ones like this entertain guests. The ratings are good because it’s fun to choose according to one’s taste. I want to recommend it to you, my junior, but we don’t have much time, so let’s put it off for the next time.”
There wasn’t much time given. This means that this wasn’t a complete summons. To prove that, my body didn’t exist here.
“Do you have any business with me?”
“First of all, as the creator of the Brave Skill, I sincerely congratulate you on your growth, my junior. I can understand all those who have inherited the spirit of bravery. Of course, the target of intensive observation is limited to those who have surpassed a certain level like you.”
“…Are you watching me?”
“Once in a while. It was hard to bear watching your adventures because I regretted the past where I was so soft on my wives and colleagues. This is my honest heart. Ah! It was shocking to learn that the First Spirit, who looked like a dignified goddess, was a prude. Haha!”
“…”
I guess it was true. If I could sue this senior for an invasion of privacy, I would. The First Hero, who stopped laughing out loud slowly, rose slowly from his throne and spoke seriously.
“The conclusion I’ve come to from my observations is that you are not the type of person who works for others.”
“I’m willing to do it if there’s enough to pay for it, though”
I’ve killed a few royals and nobles when my hands slipped, but don’t get me wrong. I am a hero who knows how to be flexible.
“Haha! If the price is not enough, you’re going to cut their head off right away, right?”
“…”
“Junior, I’ve already sent one of my subordinates to scout you. But the answer that came back was the death of my subordinate. Still, I am approaching you more favorably. I hope you see that in a positive light.”
“It looks like there are no talented people around you?”
“That’s right.”
“…”
I lost my retort as the First Hero gave a cool affirmation.
“Brave is a skill that ignores abilities, but there are only a handful of beings who can handle this properly. Military? It’s meaningless. You can’t deal with a God who manages the abilities with those very same abilities. The arrogant Pedonar faced me one-on-one and was defeated by Brave, but such an anecdote will never come again.”
“The target is the Fantasy God?”
The corners of the senior’s mouth went up so high that they could catch his ears after hearing my question. It was the perfect smile of a hero who wanted to learn.
“Do you need time to think?”
“Of course.”
I couldn’t decide on anything at the moment. It was because I couldn’t understand the senior’s true feelings as much as his abnormal abilities.
? Race: Human
? Level: 362
? Job: King (Military = Ability↑)
? Skills: Brave SS Swordsmanship S Magic S Indomitable S Immunity S…
? Status: Calm, Hopeful
The overall stats were too low to fit the name of the First Hero. It didn’t make any sense that he would be inferior to the men and women standing there like ornaments. Even the mermaid that looked pathetic next to me right now had better stats.
? Race: Legendary Mermaid
? Level: 999+
? Job: Witch (Beauty→Magic↑)
? Skills: Mana Z Magic MAX Spell MAX Deception MAX Resistance SSS…
? Status: Petrification, Oblivion
Aside from her perfect body and face that would fit the title of mermaid queen, her abilities were quite good. There were tens of thousands of these men and women in this place. It was like watching the Terracotta heroes of the Qin Shi Huang Tomb in China. The difference was that they were naked and still alive.
It must be the Gifted ZZZ’s effect that made him look ordinary. It could be said that the First hero in my dream created the Brave Skill with the effect of Gifted ZZ and then raised it to Gifted ZZZ to make him appear normal.
“Time’s up.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the world began to blur. I hurriedly asked.
“My Distant Senior. Can I summon you again at will?”
“If you can find the things I gave to my ex-lovers, it will be possible. The Relics of Chaos? It’s a very unpleasant name, but it did bring chaos to the world. Let’s meet again later and have a serious conversation, New Hero.”
*
A cool breeze rushed up to my back. Thanks to it, I knew right away that I was lying on the cold ground. Did I really come back this time?
I slowly opened my eyes. The bright sunlight didn’t wake me up like before. After all, this was the Western Continent where sunlight couldn’t reach the ground.
“…What are you doing with my fingers?”
“I did nothing! Your finger just happened to be there! What’s with those suspicious eyes?! It’s so unpleasant! How come you see the first and noblest spirit in the universe like that?!”
I got up, ignoring the indignant First Spirit. As expected, there was nothing wrong with my body. Then, what about my abilities?
? Race: Human
? Level: 3467
? Job: Bandit (Weak → Luck↑)
? Skills: Luck B Divinity C Spirit D Fabrication D Cooking D…
? Status: Good
It changed to be very modest. However, this was just the normal ability seen by others, and the reality was hidden behind it.
? Race: Universal Human Plus
? Level: 3467
? Job: Brave (Power Supply = Level 1)
? Skills: Gifted ZZZ Divinity Z Favoritism MAX Fabrication MAX Cooking MAX Five Senses Craft MAX Spearmanship MAX Constitutional MAX Madness MAX Dignity MAX Flight MAX Indomitable MAX Harassment MAX Boxing MAX Combination MAX Swords Play MAX Massacre MAX Dance MAX Judgment MAX Immortality MAX Alchemy MAX Fighting MAX Physical Skills MAX External Youth MAX Architecture MAX Eternal Life MAX Grit MAX Civil Engineering MAX Navigation MAX Harmony MAX Saving MAX Stamina MAX Negotiation MAX Cleaning MAX Tracking MAX Oblivion MAX Recovery MAX Captain MAX Etiquette MAX Calculation MAX Patience MAX Vitality MAX Incitement MAX Evil Spirit MAX Vigor MAX Slaughter MAX Blessing MAX Sewing MAX Laundry MAX Chaos MAX Painting MAX Dismantling MAX Destruction MAX Immunity MAX Muscle Strength MAX Endurance MAX Agility MAX Resistance MAX Sculpting MAX Camping MAX Love MAX Mental Strength MAX Regeneration MAX Rehabilitation MAX Immunity MAX Coolness MAX Iron Wall MAX Excellent MAX Leadership MAX Intelligence MAX Provocation MAX Emotion MAX Perspective MAX Earthquake MAX Fear MAX Cold MAX Typhoon MAX Fire MAX Flood MAX Management MAX Evaluation MAX Gathering MAX Mining MAX Farming MAX Maintenance MAX Collecting MAX Smelting MAX Prophecy MAX Pottery MAX Gathering MAX Fishing MAX Planting MAX Jewelry MAX Swimming MAX Breeding MAX Sympathy MAX Wisdom MAX Murder MAX Persuasion MAX…
? Status: Good
This was the result of faithfully answering the multiple-choice question. I succeeded in hiding it all except for my level as I wished. This is the essence of the ‘Brave’ skill, which I previously called the ‘Black Box’. It was a job characteristic that lowered the ability level. The First Hero seemed to be observing me with his authority as its creator.
The racial characteristics were also slightly strengthened.
? Type: Race
? Name: Universal Human Plus
? Class: The First
? The First 1: Control the universe to the extent of a molecule.
? Characteristic 1: Receive the universe’s obsession.
? Race 1: Spirit.
The characteristic had changed very subtly from favoritism to obsession.
“Isn’t this a little dangerous…?”
It wasn’t just a feeling. The feeling of my soul being pulled somewhere was stronger than before. A sense of crisis crept up on my spine, not yet enough to say it was serious, but that it wouldn’t be strange if I were kidnapped at any time. I felt the need to rush the evasion work.
“Drug hero. I don’t know what you were talking about when you woke up so suddenly, but there’s nothing more dangerous than my addiction. Promise me you’ll take responsibility forever.”
“I’m done with promises, and the First Hero wants me to say that you were a prude.”
“What-?!”
It was confusing to have a job interview with a senior at school without notice, but that didn’t change what I would do because the show wasn’t over yet.
I started to sharpen my MAX level skills following Level Z.
Fabrication MAX → Fabrication Z
If I put it up in advance, only the proficiency required to break the limit increased, so it was the Fabrication Skill that had been put on hold until now. It finally broke the seal and entered the Transcendental realm!
? Type: Skill
? Name: Fabrication
? Grade: Z (54%)
? ZZ: Disguise yourself as God.
? Z: Win the appeal of God.
? SSS: Disguise yourself as a family member.
? SS: Disguise yourself as a lover.
? S: Disguise yourself as a friend.
? A: Disguise yourself as a witness.
? B: Win the appeal of a family.
? C: Win the appeal of a lover.
? D: Win the appeal of a friend.
?E: Win the appeal of a witness.
? F: Lies become more plausible.
The Level ZZ effect of the Fabrication was beckoning me. However, it had to be put aside for another time because all the accumulated offerings were exhausted. It couldn’t reach it anyway, could it? Now that the big hurdle of Gifted ZZZ has been overcome, it could be solved with time and effort.
“How many days has it been?”
“That’s a really stupid question, drug hero. A drugged spirit couldn’t care about such a trivial thing, huh?! Just kidding, don’t rip off my wings! It seems like three months have passed!”
? Peek: It’s been three years.
Oh! Miss Trainee Teacher, thank you for telling me.
? Greetings: Did you sleep well, Cadet Kang Han-soo? I have many questions but let me tell you that I have missed you for the past three years.
Miss Trainee Teacher, you’ve changed to be more aggressive, huh? In the past, you emphasized so much that students and teachers shouldn’t cross the line, didn’t you?
? Embarrassed: Oh, please don’t get me wrong! That idea remains the same! This is because, while Cadet Kang Han-soo was sleeping, I was called by a senior to be in charge of Cadet Sieg again. And even Cadet Luke…it’s been a hellish three years.
It must have been hard for Miss Trainee Teacher, who doesn’t usually complain, to describe it as hellish years. And now, my fantasy career has reached sixty years.
“The 60th anniversary, huh…”
Just thinking about it made me dizzy. I could hear briefly from Miss Trainee Teacher what happened in this entrance exam center over the past three years.
?Commentary: A total of 1001 heroes were summoned here, including Cadet Kang Han-soo. You can think of it as summoning 200 people per continent. But in the past three years, none of the cadets have succeeded in recruiting comrades. Instead, a new concept emerged that heroes are now followers of companions.
Followers, you say…
It occurred to me that this flow was natural unless there was a genius hero who reached the ZZZ Realm in the three years while I slept.
? Affirmation: Only a handful of cadets have entered the Transcendental Realm, let alone ZZZ. Currently, they are divided into two groups: followers and underdogs. A lot of my classmates and juniors are being put in to lead them indirectly. In particular, they are struggling with the psychological treatment for those who have fallen behind.
Are you saying that all the Five Great Disasters are still alive? I expected one or two to be sorted out by the power of friendship, but I guess I overestimated my hometown friends. Any other special cases?
?Hope: There has been a little progress. Although they are being carried by their comrades, some active followers are approaching the Five Great Disasters. There is also a hopeful analysis from seniors that the day of subjugation isn’t far away!
According to Miss Trainee Teacher, I think I’ll just have to take over the West Continent.
Now I could hear the voices of some nearby people and monsters.
“Take the orc on the right!”
“Haha! I’ll show you my power out of the blanket!”
“Huhu~?!”
“Juuu~?!”
It was happening at quite a distance, but it was visible to my eyes. The female hero who had been attacked by goblins in the past and the male hero who had been kicked out of the blanket were teaming up and slaying many orcs with ease. It was a level of growth that was unimaginable in the past.
? Race: Arch Human
? Level: 2459
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skill: Magic Z Spell SSS Stamina SSS Resistance SS Mana SS…
? Status: Elevation, Fatigue, Tension
The young hero lady who was insulted by the goblins had become strong enough to annihilate orcs. The man next to her had no Transcendental realm skills but was preparing to break through his limits as his stats were dominated with MAX-level skills.
A total of a thousand such heroes? I thought it was worth a try.
Flap!
Spreading out the wings of a righteous hero, I flew through the dark sky with a lighter heart.
The subjugation of the Five Great Disasters…I didn’t think I had to deal with it myself. But it would be polite to subdue at least one.
“Is this too easy?”
To meet the Five Great Disasters, a hero must pass through several gates and trials, but it was meaningless to me, who monopolized the love of the universe. The gates and trials were resolved naturally.
What was the first thing that stood in my way?
“Lanuvel will fight for Lord Shakespeare!”
“My name is Alex. I am the sword of the Phantom King.”
“You’re a pretty cool guy, too. What a shame that you’re my darling’s enemy?.”
“A thief with a Holy Sword?! This is definitely blasphemy!”
They were the corpses of colleagues and members of the harem that I had seen in my dreams. And in the middle of it…
“Crazy…”
One of the Five Great Disasters stood there. This entrance exam wasn’t made to be broken. I guarantee it.
