It was true that my surprise attack clearly worked. So after that, I faced my furious opponent with confidence.

What about those who kept attacking me from behind?

I continued to ignore them because it’s much more profitable for me to kill one more ruler of the Royal District than them.

Anyway our fight continued, and I heard a message while I was fighting.

You have achieved a ‘great achievement’ as a member of the Advance Team.

-You have dealt with powerful beings in their backyard.

You have killed more than 3 powerful beings.

– You won’t receive any more rewards.

The enemy was killed almost instantly after I used my limited skill ‘Savant’, so I cast a glance at the other guys. At that moment something caught my senses.

Three beings were approaching me at a very high speed.

I didn’t know who they were, but I could figure it out.

They were none other than the rulers of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Royal Districts.

Of course, they might not be, but my hunch was they were.

‘Alright. Let me check how strong you are.’

I thought of testing them for a moment, but I soon shook my head.

Obviously, there was a cheat key called ‘Return’ that would help me get out of this place, but I happened to run into them.

So I immediately opened my mouth.

“Return.”

You have used the return command.

-You are now leaving Kuhana and moving to your original location.

Along with that message, I immediately felt like my body was being sucked into somewhere, and soon a familiar scene appeared before me.

It was the rooftop of the first main base of the Myongjin Shelter where I first moved to Kuhana from.

***

I was in Kuhana for exactly one month and six days.

So when I returned to Earth, I felt as if Earth was welcoming me after a long time.

As a matter of fact, something like welcoming fireworks went off in a row as if to show Earth really welcomed me, which was none other than a series of messages.

You are a member of the Advance Team.

– You have successfully returned to Earth.

– The following rewards are given to you.

: Your level increases by 50 regardless of your current level.

: Acquire 5 billion golden rings.

: Acquire 2500 remaining stat points.

: Acquire 50,000 coins.

You have leveled up.

You have leveled up.

:

:

You have leveled up.

You have leveled up.

My level has increased by a whopping 50.

Of course, that was not the first time I experienced such a big increase.

I experienced similar extreme level ups when I was at an extremely low level.

But this time, I leveled up so many times when my level was already extremely high.

So much so that there was nobody whose level was higher than mine.

So, 5 billion golden rings and 2,500 remaining stat points plus 50,000 coins were definitely a big reward, but the message announcing my level-up caught my attention a lot more.

But there was another message that caught my attention.

As a member of the Advance Party, you have killed a total of 1,887,429 enemies in addition to your daily quota for 30 days.

-Additional rewards are given for this.

: Appropriate compensation is being calculated right now.

: Appropriate compensation is being calculated right now.

:

:

A series of messages rang, announcing that my appropriate reward was being calculated. Obviously, I killed many more enemies than expected. Otherwise, it would not take such a long time to calculate my rewards.

Finally, I ended up returning to Earth amid the Myongjin members’ dramatic welcome.

“Our youngest master Juyoung has returned!”

“Wow, he’s finally returned!”

“Juyoung is back!”

“Wow!”

All of them welcomed me back so enthusiastically.

I felt a bit embarrassed by their enthusiastic welcome, to which even the typical dramatic reunion of separate family members paled.

Of course, I came back 6 days later than originally planned. Since others returned to Earth as soon as the ‘return’ cooldown was over, my family and Myongjin must have been worried about me a lot, so I waved at them.

At that moment, a message about the final tally of my points rang.

You have obtained additional points that nobody could ever gain.

-The following rewards are additionally given.

: You have acquired a large amount of EXP.

: Acquire 31.1 billion golden rings.

: Acquire 15,650 remaining stat points.

: Acquire 5 remaining skill points.

: Acquire 207,000 coins.

: Acquire the special title ‘Ruthless Slayer’.

You have leveled up.

You have leveled up.

:

You have leveled up.

You have leveled up.

“…”

As a matter of fact, I’ve received many rewards until now.

Whether it’s an event or a quest, I’ve always won the top place, raking in all the rewards. But I had never received a more splendid reward than the one this time.

So much so that a simple comparison between my latest reward and my past rewards was just absurd. My reward this time was literally huge.

Aside from the title, a whopping five skill points was the cream of the cream.

So I looked at the message for a while so intensely that I could hardly hear what the others were whispering around me.

At that moment, another message rang as if I had more rewards waiting.

As a member of the Advance Party you escaped from Kuhana last.

– The following rewards are given for your heroic action.

: Acquire 1,000 remaining stat points.

: Acquire 20,000 coins.

Of course, the reward itself wasn’t a lot because I got almost 16,000 remaining stat points and about 210,000 coins as an additional reward in addition to my original reward.

Of course, I had no intention of giving up these rewards because they would add more to my strength, after all.

There were no more messages as if all the calculations of my performance in Kuhana were over.

“Juyoung!”

“Juyoung Hong, why have you come back so late? Other players came back exactly in 30 days!”

“Good job, Juyoung!”

“Nice job!”

As if the people here had reported my return, my father, my mother, my brother, my sister, my sister-in-law, and Director Sok, the head of the Intelligence Department, all appeared on the roof of the Myongjin Shelter. Of course, they welcomed me warmly.

My mother hugged me tightly, and I returned her embrace.

After a brief family reunion, all of us went down from the roof together because I had a lot to tell them about my activities in Kuhana.

But as soon as I left the rooftop, I noticed something different from before I went to Kuhana as a member of the Advance Party 36 days ago.

A huge space that I had never seen before was created in the middle of the road leading to the West Gate. At first glance, it looked like a park.

But it was far from a park when I looked at the gloomy expressions of those standing there. Some of them were shedding tears, clasping their hands together tightly. So the place looked more like a cemetery than a park. It was also quite large.

But I didn’t ask them what happened because the most important thing to them was what I did in Kuhana..
