Chapter 175
[Epic Quest]
-Find the 'Fragment of the Destroyed Star' hidden within the Rift of Chaos.
-Reward - Achievement Points 1000000.
-Extend the Limit Level value by +50.
-Additional rewards based on the discovered Fragment of the Star.
'The Fragment of the Destroyed Star.'
The destroyed star.
I had a rough idea of what it was referring to.
'It must be referring to the planet eliminated from the Space League.'
Just like Earth in my previous life.
Being relegated to the bottom of the league, the race being deleted, and the planet becoming desolate, it must be the destroyed star.
'The fragment is there....'
The purple rift.
The cracks in the ground were dug deep, so deep that the end was not visible.
No matter who looked at it, it gave off an atmosphere that one should not enter.
And there.
'The light emitted from the rift is not just ordinary light.'
It was like the aura of death used by the seat of the dead star in the past.
I could feel the power that devoured life.
An ordinary platinum player wouldn't even dare to enter there.
Even the Hae Chuling horde that had killed more than half of humanity a while ago wouldn't have thought of entering the rift.
However.
'Compared to what Calain was emitting, that's nothing.'
Whoosh!
Sung JiHan lightly jumped and fell into the rift.
"Kik, kik...!"
Then, countless chimeras sprang out from within.
'This is annoying.'
Boom! Boom!
However, Sung JiHan didn't swing his weapon and simply used the power of domain dominance to blow up the small fries.
After 10 minutes like that.
-Wow, I wondered why he fell into the rift....
-He just did it to increase his kill count, lol.
-He already has 2014 points. He's crazy, seriously.
-Sung JiHan carried us all the way to 7th place, lol.
In no time, humanity's kill points had increased to 2014.
Out of the 500 members, only Sung JiHan had earned points.
-If he does that, won't he be able to reach 10,000 by hunting alone in that hole next time?
-No, isn't that too much pressure on JiHan-nim? Aren't the team members just freeloading?
-The person in question doesn't seem to feel any pressure at all....
-Yeah, he just stands there and the monsters explode, lol.
The viewers suggested a strategy where the rest would only defend while Sung JiHan alone jumped into the rift and achieved 10,000 points.
[I have obtained the maximum points that can be obtained from the Rift of Chaos.]
[No more kill points will be accumulated.]
-Ah, they won't let him have it easy.
-Then in the end, he'll have to fight against other races to reach 10,000.
After obtaining 2000 points from the chimeras, Sung JiHan felt disappointed when he saw the system's restriction.
'Hmm, I can't finish it all with just one rift.'
Sung JiHan felt the same disappointment.
He thought he could clear the rehearsal special mission and the epic quest at once.
He didn't know there would be such restrictions in the system.
'Then I should quickly find the Fragment of the Destroyed Star and get 10,000 points in the next game.'
Sung JiHan, who had thought that way, wandered through the cracks.
The surroundings were just filled with a purple haze.
Except for the monsters, there was nothing else.
"There's not much time left."
Sung JiHan summoned his brain cloud and attempted to explore faster.
Even as he went down, the scenery remained unchanged.
However, there was one change.
[Kill... me... please...]
[I don't know... I don't know!]
The chimeras that made beastly sounds began to spew out words as they descended further into the cracks.
Unlike the chimeras that popped out from above.
They were like formless spirits.
And as they went further down.
[Ah, ah... please, just don't... merge... it hurts too much...]
[Please! Isn't it over yet... haven't we been destroyed! If we've perished, we should be left as ruins...!]
[Why, why do you keep asking about things I don't know!]
Instead of the jumbled chimeras, each race was separated and pleading in the light.
There were anthropomorphic beings resembling wolves, races similar to humans, and even those resembling ants, large insects, and so on.
Each existence was engulfed in purple light, spewing out screams of agony.
Listening to their words translated through the BattleNet.
Sung JiHan could confirm that his guess was correct.
"Indeed, are they the races that were demoted from the Space League...."
Before his regression, Sung JiHan recalled the last day.
When humanity was defeated in the demotion battle.
Except for him, all of humanity was literally "deleted."
He thought it was the end, but...
It turns out they were continuously branching out in a place like this chaotic crack?
"But what kind of question would elicit such a reaction?"
Besides the response of just wanting to be killed.
There were many responses saying they didn't know about "what question."
Sung JiHan tried to go further down to hear what it was, but...
[15 minutes have passed.]
[NO.4212 'Humanity' is banished from the battlefield of chaos.]
The time limit had come.
"We will calculate humanity's score...."
"The kill points have exceeded 2000."
"Congratulations. You have qualified to receive a participation prize!"
"All participants are exempt from death penalties."
"All members' levels increase by 1."
"All members receive 100,000 GP."
If they achieved 2000 points, they would receive a participation prize.
-Something... seems fishy?
-But still, the teammates who couldn't kill enemies didn't get their levels downgraded, right?
-Oh, right. It seems fine if we look at the team as a whole.
-Sung JiHan suffered so much while his teammates took all the honey lolololol
-Honestly, if you have a conscience, you should immediately sponsor Sung JiHan with the 100,000 GP.
-For real lolololol Where's the level downgrade prevention?
The 500 teammates who were useless in the main topic not only had their levels increased to 1 but also acquired GP.
Viewers said that they should give GP to Sung JiHan as a courtesy, but...
"You will receive additional rewards based on your contribution."
"Player 'Sung JiHan' has achieved 100% contribution for the first rehearsal."
[Level 4 reached.]
[Obtained 4 million GP.]
[As a one-time reward, gained 4 additional stat points.]
-Wow, can you give me some additional stats?
-That's insane, what a reward!
The other rewards weren't bad either, but everyone's attention was focused on the 4 additional stat points.
Considering the nature of Battle.net games, it was almost impossible to obtain this.
The contribution reward was at an incredible level.
-But I heard this is the first time someone achieved 100% contribution, haha.
-No, isn't that too much from our teammates?
-No, it's actually good that we encountered a tough opponent. Our hyung also gained additional stats, yeah.
The viewers who enjoyed gaining +stats due to humanity's ankle-biting.
Of course, Sung JiHan couldn't immediately make use of it due to his soul being sealed, but...
[Special achievement, '100% Contribution' achieved.]
[Obtained 300,000 achievement points as a reward.]
He smiled when he saw the achievement point reward that only he could see.
In times like this, teammates who are not helpful actually become helpful.
But still...
"Next time, I shouldn't let the matchmaking choose my teammates."
Sung JiHan recalled the recent incident.
Teammates being wiped out by dozens of newly emerged chimeras.
He didn't want to see that kind of pathetic scene again.
Having obtained the most important one-time reward, the additional stats.
Now, he had to properly prepare and form a team.
He came out with a light-hearted feeling, but...
"No, this can't be..."
"A map where you can obtain additional stats...!"
"And it's 7, 7!"
The Battle.net industry started to buzz after watching this rehearsal game.
* * *
[Sung JiHan-exclusive map, Rehearsal! What are the results of experiencing the Space League indirectly?]
[Tremendous rewards await in the chaotic battlefield! But the enemies are not easy either.]
[A game where Sung JiHan shone alone with 100% contribution, is this good as it is? The clear distinction between good and evil in humanity is revealed.]
[If you get demoted in the Space League, you become a chimera? The eerie reason behind the soul's howl in the rift of chaos.]
"Reporters, now they write articles based on Uncle's game."
Yoon Sae-ah looked at the front page article on the portal site with eyes that now seemed familiar.
It had been a while since she watched BattleTube.
His popularity was undoubtedly the highest among all BattleTubers.
Especially during this time when curiosity about the main game of the Space League grew after the tutorial ended.
When the rehearsal game started, the attention of people all over the world naturally focused on it.
"But if we really get demoted... do we become chimeras?"
"Because of the dialogue of the soul in the rift?"
"Yeah, isn't it fascinating? There are all sorts of speculations going on right now. I wonder what we don't know. About whether we really face destruction if we get demoted."
Among Yoon Sae-ah's questions, Sung JiHan knew the answer to the latter.
He casually replied while drinking his coffee.
"It's true that we face destruction if we get demoted."
"Huh... really? How does Uncle know that?"
"I just have a feeling."
"Ugh. What's up with that?"
"Oh, right. Should I ask Ariel?"
Ariel was practically a professor when it came to Battle.net.
But when she was actually summoned, she shook her head.
"I have a feeling that might happen... but I don't know for sure. What will happen if we get demoted?"
"Oh really? I thought you had some information."
"Well, Shadow Elves have never been demoted before, so that's what I mean."
"Ugh, what bad luck."
"Did you see the game earlier? Racial advantages are important."
Upon hearing Yoon Se-ah's criticism, Ariel shrugged her shoulders.
"Well, isn't it too much to play the game with the Dragon Clan?"
"Players who play with their uncles will have the same conversations. Aren't you doing well these days too?"
"Ugh... well, that's true."
"BattleNet isn't a fair game to begin with. The basic purpose is to fight between planets. You should be grateful that you didn't encounter 500 dragons earlier."
With that, Ariel stood in front of the computer.
"Can I watch the video again?"
"Uncle BattleTube? Sure, go ahead."
Then she quickly fast-forwarded the playback screen and paused it at the scene where Sung JiHan entered the depths of the Chaos Rift.
It was a scene of souls that had not been fused with Chimeras, screaming.
"Master, can I send this screen to the Holy See?"
"To the Shadow Queen?"
"Yes. The violet energy that binds that soul... it seems like it could be a clue to develop the shadow energy."
"It was similar to the death energy used by the Seat of the Dead Star."
"Is that so? Can I include the master's message as well?"
"Unless you're getting it for free."
"Of course. The Queen will pay a suitable price."
Although she could have sent it without saying anything, there was no reason to refuse when there was a reward.
"Then send it."
"Thank you."
She spread the shadow energy on the monitor and absorbed it again.
"Then I'll go and send it."
Ariel disappeared somewhere.
Sung JiHan tilted his head as he watched his video again.
At the time, it was a plate of intensified death energy.
Was there anything related to the shadow energy?
"I might have delved too much into the Chaos Rift. I should think about ways to develop the Shadow Pact."
The development of the Shadow Pact was in a stagnant state.
Sung JiHan decided to think about ways to develop it.
If he could develop it while growing his soul, he could upgrade the Chaos Rift based on that enhanced ability.
"But to observe the Chaos Rift for a long time, I need to properly organize my team..."
An idea to convert the Shadow Pact to suit himself.
In order to break the Epic Quest, situations like today where all allies were slaughtered should not happen.
"It's not just one or two people. It's 500 people. It's a bit much."
To select elites who could withstand the Chaos Battlefield among the 500 Platinum players.
It was impossible with the pool of Korean players alone.
They had to be selected from players all over the world.
While pondering how to solve the recruitment problem...
"Owner! I received a call from the World BattleNet Federation!"
A hurried call came from guild master Lee Ha-yeon.
"I have something to tell you about the Chaos Battlefield..."
The World BattleNet Federation, with whom he had maintained an uncomfortable relationship due to the Sword King issue.
But perhaps it was because the rewards from the Chaos Battlefield were so attractive.
When the Federation contacted him first, Sung JiHan smiled.
In this case, the side that contacts first loses.
"Sure, let's hear what you have to say."
The authority to open the rehearsal map alone.
Sung JiHan had made up his mind to make good use of it.
