The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 92: It doesn't sound bad

A new line was added in the status window.

[Name: Grandfel Claudie Arpheus Romeo]

[Title: The Last Adventurer]

[Class: Demon hunter]

[Level: 324]

[Stat]

Strength: 53 / Agility: 60 / Mana: 271 / Luck: 6 / Aesthetic: Low

[Point: 0]

Indeed, an item called [Title] was created.

In an instant, the sordid knowledge I had of Arcana passed through my head.

But no matter how much I looked back on my memory.

Then and now.

I had never heard or seen the title system.

I didnt know about any other game, but at least in Arcana, the title was definitely a non-existent system.

I reflected on the message that appeared.

My achievements resonated in the Arcana continent.

The achievement was talked about among the living people of the continent.

Thanks to them, I acquired the title

This is a different matter from opening a stat.

[Title].

Was it a system that originally existed in Arcana?

If not, was it a newly updated system after the Cataclysm?

It was a matter beyond my knowledge.

However, I recognized that not everyone could get it easily.

Even now, the acquisition conditions dont make sense.

It meant that you had to complete at least a world-class quest to acquire the title.

Thinking about it like that, once again. I felt something indescribable.

Is this really the right reward?

Can I accept the [title]?

The process had been a mess.

I had been running only based on the results.

A fluke was a fluke, even if it was the best kind.

But shamelessly.

The Last Adventurer.

As always.

I couldnt express my feelings.

Besides, I could feel it even if no one else knew.

The upright angle of the neck and spine.

You had to look through a microscope to notice it.

A slight raise in the corners of my lips.

And the proud eyes toward the World Tree.

It doesnt sound bad.

Yeah, the germination of the World Tree.

Thanks to it, I became known to the Arcana continent.

I, Grandfel, responded as if it was only natural.

Of course, I was slowly adjusting to this iron skin.

What I would do was simple.

I checked the effect of the [Title] without changing my expression.

It was part of the process anyway.

As a result, shouldnt I make sure I get the reward?

[Last Adventurer: You will not die on the Arcana continent. Upon death, you return to reality immediately and cannot access the Arcana continent for a certain period of time. Cooldown: 24 hours]

But what.

Whats this effect?

Wait, doesnt it mean I am immortal?

Even at a glance, the effect seemed extraordinary.

No, apart from immortality, even the preconditions.

In the Arcana continent?

No, but whats the point of not dying on the Arcana continent?

I didnt even know how to get to the Arcana continent! If I knew how.

The Arcanains, including the mages of the Mage Tower, wouldnt have been staying in reality.

But why is it familiar?

The strange effect of the title was somehow familiar.

Wait, the name.

Last Adventurer.

Adventurer.

From the days when Arcana was just a game.

It was the word the Arcanains used to refer to players.

Yes, I was a player.

I was an adventurer.

If I approach the Arcana Continent.

I would be the last adventurer.

From that perspective, I started to understand the effect.

This, too..!

Upon death, there would be no access to the Arcana continent for 24 hours.

If you change the word access to connect.

The days when Arcana was just a game.

It was the same as the death penalty!

I read the effect of the title over and over again and opened my mouth.

Its just a hypothesis, but theres plenty of possibility.

System messages didnt lie.

The fact that it gave me this [title].

There definitely would be a day when I had to use this [title].

What it meant was simple.

Accessing the Arcana Continent in reality.

It wasnt just a pipe dream anymore.

Of course, I dont know when Ill be able to.

One thing was clear.

For the time being, tremble with fear. You inferior race.

The day I could access the Arcana continent.

It would be the day when the demons tremble in fear.

Wasnt I the one who struggled every day?

By that time, I would be stronger than I was now.

And if you considered the effects of [The Last Adventurer]

Even if I die, Ill come back alive 24 hours later.

At least to the demons.

Grandfel was a subject they should more than fear.

Wouldnt it become their nightmare?

Because, of course, it still felt so far away.

Lets wrap up our thoughts there.

I looked up at the World Tree.

The World Tree had grown larger than any other giant tree in the swamp.

Like the message that passed by.

This was no longer the bloody Predators Swamp.

[Youve entered the Secret Garden of the World Tree.]

Hyungnims. E-Everyone, are you watching? The monsters!!

I didnt feel the will to fight from the monsters.

Yes, as the living beings of the Arcana continent.

They must have instinctively realized the meaning of the newly growing World Tree. They learned that the Arcana continent was on the verge of extinction.

[Youve cleared the rupture in the Secret Garden of the World Tree.]

Rumble!

Soon, the view shook.

The space of [oddity], where reality and the Arcana continent were mixed, now returned to its original world.

It was a familiar phenomenon for players. But the nymph seemed perplexed.

The scenery is again!

Of course, there was nothing to worry about.

The nymph and I had a contract.

We would be reunited at the next rupture.

So until then.

The light gradually intensified.

Through my blurry vision.

I told the nymph.

Can you see the situation of the Arcana continent on my behalf?

The situation in the Arcana continent.

Just like I had considered before signing a contract with the nymph.

Information about the Arcana continent was important.

Even more so in the current situation where the possibility of accessing the Arcana Continent was confirmed through the effect of the title.

Of course, it wont be easy.

It was the Arcana continent, where it was difficult to find an area that was still intact.

It was the reason why the nymph stayed here, in the Predators Swamp. Thanks to the contract. The nymphs appearance and personality changed due to my influence as a contractor.

I will repay your trust.

She would have pride.

She wouldnt fear.

But I knew.

To bear that heavy pride.

The wings of the nymph were too weak!

Even if she looked like a high-ranking spirit or a spirit king.

The nymph was a low-ranking spirit.

Because of my pitiful mana, it would be difficult to expect an increase in her combat power.

However.

Even if I dont have any magic.

I had some legacy.

Akshans legacy, the Qirnberg Tower.

Yeah, even at this moment.

The machine tower must be doing its best as Akshans decisive weapon.

The [Qirnberg Machine Tower] was the best place for the nymph to travel around the continent and collect information.

Of course, such a complicated story.

I didnt have the time to explain it.

I sent a telepathic message to the nymph.

And added briefly.

Join my arrangement.

Until the end, I just acted like myself.

Shamelessly.

*

Flash!

The players opened their eyes without anyone saying anything first.

A coniferous forest in Scandinavia came into view.

Wow, I never imagined it would end like this.

What was that at the end? Didnt the monsters kneel down?

The World Tree. So many messages were coming up so fast!

Wait, so what about Lee Hoyeol?

[Predators Swamp].

No, should they call it the [Secret Garden of the World Tree] now?

Anyway, even in this rupture.

Hoyeol showed ridiculous moves.

It was only natural that the eyes of the players were looking for Hoyeol.

If he really gets something, thats awesome. You know?

I know. I think so too.

Hurry up. Relax your mouth properly. We have no choice but to come here anyway.

Uh, how come its still cold here?

Around the portal.

The same was true of many reporters.

Even if the target of the coverage was Hoyeol, this was not something that could be easily given up.

Yeah, they could even skip the sensitive questions that might upset Hoyeol.

Should I ask him something about swordsmanship?

Yes, its better to go with that.

Right? Im sure Lee Hoyeol will answer this much.

Well, I hope so.

There were so many contents that could become a hot topic.

Of course, the most important thing was Hoyeols feeling.

Shiver

The anchor, whose lips were shaking, continued to talk just in case.

Hey, no matter what, Lee Hoyeol is a human being. There are so many achievements hes made from this crack. He must be in a good mood, at least he can answer such a trivial question, right? At least just for a moment?

If Hoyeols performance had only ended with the contract with the spirit,

They wouldnt even dare to ask.

But wasnt Hoyeol the one who had sprouted the seed of the World Tree and successfully let it take root at the end?

Whether it was before or after the Cataclysm, there was no player who ever accomplished this level of achievement.

Actually, Im curious about something else, but

Hoyeols confident and unstoppable actions.

It was as if he knew everything.

Indeed, how far did Hoyeol know to enter that rupture?

What kind of reward did he get from this performance?

Lets continue with such a sensitive question by looking at the atmosphere first.

The anchor took a deep breath.

And soon, he faced Hoyeol.

However, his determination was useless.

!

Including the anchors.

No one could speak to Hoyeol.

Tap tap

Until Hoyeol disappeared beyond the portal.

The reason was simple.

What else is it?!

As if there was no word for satisfaction in his dictionary.

With an expression of indifference.

Hoyeols atmosphere was so serious.

While everyone was staring blankly at the portal where Hoyeol had disappeared.

Someone quietly opened their mouth.

Could it be that he cant be satisfied with this achievement?

Indeed.

It was the reaction that they couldnt help but see.

Naturally, questions were bound to follow.

How far was Hoyeol looking?

.

.

.

My mana was irredeemably insignificant.

It was fortunate that no one talked to me or grabbed me. Seriously.

Because I didnt have the energy to answer nicely.

I was certain that if someone had grabbed me, I would have fainted.

In that sense, I could only admire it.

I am going up the stairs even in this pathetic state.

Tap tap

I headed straight to my lab.

In order to get rid of the mana exhaustion, I needed to supplement my mana. 

I also couldnt help but insist on using a severely inefficient method of supplementing mana. Yeah, its because of the damn formality!

The most efficient way to replenish mana?

Of course, it was by consuming the magic regeneration potion made from bi-herbs.

How simple is it?

It was like drinking a beverage.

However, with Grandfels noble formality and dignity.

There was no way he would tolerate the act of drinking potions without a proper glass container.

I prepared a teacup as soon as I finally arrived at the lab.

Click

I boiled water with an inefficient tool, [Simple Lamp].

I waited for the bi-herb tea bag to inefficiently brew.

I inefficiently savored the tea and regained my mana.

Putting a comma is just as important as putting a period.

Yes, yes, as long youre happy.

Id rather die than get really sick.

Still, I strongly agreed that commas and rest were needed.

Because from the moment I entered the [Predators Swamp].

I never let down my guard.

Lets enjoy this tea time leisurely.

Suddenly, I recalled my regret.

The blessing of Spirit King Dryad.

In the end, I never tasted the experience and drop rate buff.

If I had to count the balance sheet.

World quests would be much more profitable.

I was always in a position where I was disappointed with my level.

But I could afford one thing.

When I activated the [Qirnberg Machine Tower].

I remembered the messages clearly.

[Experience point is accumulating in the decisive battle weapon, Qirnber Machine Tower.]

[Fame is accumulating in the decisive battle weapon, Qirnber Machine Tower.]

[You receive the right to acquire the accumulated experience and fame.]

The title, the Last Adventurer.

Now that I had confidence that I could access the Arcana continent through it. The accumulated experience and fame of the Qirnberg Machine Tower were basically my savings.

Of course, I dont know when the due date is.

Anyway, if I found it, my life would turn around.

No, it might even turn around my level.

When that time comes.

I could properly pull out the root of the Mage Tower.

I would rent a lot of magic tools from the Mage Tower that I couldnt use because of the level restriction. I would use the magic that I couldnt even dare to use because of the mana consumption!

The moment I was filled with dreams of quickly getting rich.

Knock

Someone knocked on the door.

I reflectively checked the parchment.

Distinct handwriting was floating.

Indeed, there was an appointment.

He comes at the right time.

I had good news.

I leisurely opened my mouth.

Come in. Marcelo.

*

Thrump

Marcelos steps down the stairs were light.

Not because of his thin body, but because his heart had become a little lighter.

The agenda had been passed.

What it meant was simple.

Suddenly, Marcelo, who stopped on the stairs, looked around the panoramic view of the Mage Tower.

Tower Master. The Mage Tower can move only after breaking the bondage of contradiction.

Although the first step was weak.

Everything started with that first step.

Marcelo shrugged his shoulders.

For the first time, I can tell him good news.

Indeed, what kind of reaction would Sir Hoyeol show?

Wouldnt he be a bit surprised?

However.

Marcelos ambitious thoughts soon collapsed.

Clink

At the same time as he took a sip of the tea that Hoyeol gave him.

?!

Gulp.

Marcelo, who had barely swallowed the hot tea, asked back.

W-World Tree. Besides, you even have information about the Arcana continent. I dont understand! Can you say that again?

It was a progress that even the chief mage of the Mage Tower couldnt keep up with.
