Chapter 302 - Parasite (2)

That evening I was quite relieved because I now grasped the whole situation.

Of course, the guy had yet to reveal his identity in reality.

At that moment, a message rang.

You have eaten the parasite.

– As a result, you obtain the following rewards.

: 3471 remaining stat points that the parasite accumulated.

: Numerous EXP that the parasite accumulated.

Currently, you hold the roots.

-The roots become much stronger by absorbing the remnants of the parasite.

Currently, you are transformed into the Constellation Hunter.

-You can receive the rewards only after you revert from being the Constellation Hunter.

Quite a few messages rang in succession.

After confirming the messages, I opened my mouth, looking at Director Sok and my family members including my father with whom I was meeting within the Myongjin Guild’s main base within ‘Revival Legend’

“I don’t think that man will come…”

They looked puzzled at my words, so I continued casually, “Because the parasite just died.”

Of course, that guy might have another parasite.

But I could say firmly that he didn’t have it.

If he had possessed another parasite, he wouldn’t have appeared before me and cried so desperately for me to return the parasite to him.

At the level 1500 hunting ground Land of Titan.

The players of the Daesung & Kusan Alliance, who were desperately hunting here before, disappeared as soon as the event to commemorate the new hunting ground was over.

Of course, I could figure out why.

Unlike the previous hunting grounds of level 1200 or lower, the penalty for death in the new hunting grounds of level 1300 or higher increased tremendously. If they died, they would have a whopping 7 day access ban, suffer a massive drop in EXP, and all their stat points would randomly decrease between 1 and 10 which they would not be able to recover.

I normally hunted near the hunting ground’s entrance, but since I was now the archer Sarnga who appeared in India, not here, I went deep into the hunting ground and continued hunting every day until my status as the Constellation Hunter expired.

One week later.

Since I was not weaker than my original state Asirante at all, I had no problem hunting like before. Rather, my hunting skills improved, so it was much easier to hunt.

While I was absorbed into hunting until my status as the Constellation Hunter expired, a message rang. Not just one message, but several in succession.

You have leveled up.

You have leveled up.

:

You have leveled up.

You have leveled up.

Of course, the messages didn’t ring suddenly.

There were some other messages before them.

The Constellation Hunter retention time has expired.

-You return to your original state.

The number of uses for the Constellation Hunter’s badge has been reduced by 1.

– Current uses remaining: 1

– When the number of uses is exhausted, the Constellation Hunter’s badge will expire.

With the use of the Constellation Hunter badge, you have experienced the ability that even the stars fear.

-Agility permanently increases by 1000.

The seven day retention time of the Constellation Hunter finally expired.

That’s why I saw a lot of messages.

And one of the previous messages that rang to me mentioned that I could only receive the rewards I earned by devouring the parasite after my status as the Constellation Hunter was deactivated.

You will acquire the 3471 remaining stat points that the parasite accumulated so far.

Currently, you hold the roots.

-The roots will become much stronger by absorbing the remnants of the parasite.

“…”

Aside from the enormous EXP, I obtained a whopping 3471 remaining stat points. But I couldn’t help but be a little restless because I didn’t do anything to get them after all.

Of course, I went through a lot of distress because of the parasite guy.

Nonetheless, I felt good about the rewards.

Massive EXP gains, 3471 remaining stat points, and the further strengthening of the roots would obviously strengthen me a lot. Despite that, I still was restless because of the potential opponents’ attacks that I could not expect or predict at all.

When they broke through the wall blocking each country seriously, or when they summoned me after breaking through the wall, I didn’t take it seriously. However, I could not help but be shocked by some of the skills or traits that had appeared since then.

For example, Japan’s Item Master and Skill Master, Smith’s 200% reality actualization rate, and the parasite.

To be honest, each of them didn’t look inferior to my items and skills. Some of them even looked superior. Of course, this didn’t mean that only I should have the best items and skills.

There is no law that other people cannot possess such skills. And just as I acquired the limited skill Savant that almost doubled my strength instantly, other players could also obtain such powerful skills in similar ways. Besides, I knew that I could obtain trait shards through quests and events instead of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Closed Betas alone. However, I could not help but feel it unfair that those players with such bizarre traits and skills were only hostile to me.

Of course, I knew why. It was because I was strong.

If I was weak, I would not have attracted other people’s attention, and I would not have had to battle with such powerful opponents.

“Whew…I can’t help it anyway.’

While I was grumbling like that, a series of messages kept ringing.

The third trait of the Constellation Hunter activates.

– We are calculating your performance as the Constellation Hunter.

Your activities during the one week you transformed into the Constellation Hunter equal to a total of 253,117,000 points.

-As a result, you receive the following additional rewards.

: 250 million golden rings.

: 2500 coins.

: 250 remaining stat points.

As if boasting about its myth grade, the Constellation Hunter’s badge bestowed me with a tremendous reward. Of course, the badge was not solely responsible for my rewards. Since I owned three traits, I could gain three of the Constellation Hunter’s traits, the third of which gave me such a tremendous reward for my one-week activities.

In other words, this was a reward that anybody who had no traits or even one or two traits could not even dream about.

Anyway, the moment I thought it was all over, another message rang.

This time it was not a message about rewards, but I couldn’t help but become even happier.

The message was about the primary goal that I had been longing to achieve.

Lumen, Asirante, congratulations on reaching level 1200!

– By reaching level 1200, you have been given the privilege of actualizing your abilities within ‘Revival Legend’. However, you should meet the following conditions to actualize your abilities.

-By using coins, you can permanently actualize your abilities within ‘Revival Legend’.

: For 0%-10% actualization, you need 1,000 coins per 1%.

: For 11%- 20% actualization, you need 2,000 coins per 1%.

: For 21%- 30% actualization, you need 3,000 coins per 1%.

: For 31% – 40% actualization, you need 4,000 coins per 1%.

“…”

My primary goal until now had been to achieve level 1200.

Since I had so many coins, I had no choice but to desperately grind for level 1200.

I had finally reached level 1200, but I had lots of mixed feelings.

But what I felt certain about was that I felt a lot better since it was like a load had been taken off my chest.

“Hahaha!”

So, I could not help but smile brightly because my anxiety, which was crippling me until a moment ago, had disappeared in an instant.
