My father told me to go tomorrow. Perhaps my father was angrier than me because he was the head of the Myongjin Shelter, after all.

    “Yes, Dad.”

    I did not reject my father’s instruction because I needed to show my anger rationally.

    I was determined to take revenge on them as thoroughly as I could.

    That evening.

    “Access!”

    [You have accessed Revival Legend]

    It has been 36 days since I last logged in. So I felt a bit awkward at first.

    But I didn’t feel awkward any more when the level 1800 hunting ground Land of Ancient Spirits, where I had been hunting before, appeared in front of my eyes.

    I had hunted in this place for far more than 36 days, of course, so it didn’t matter that I took a 36 day break.

    So I wanted to charge straight at them, but I had something else to do today. So I left the hunting ground and moved to the teleport zone.

    “Move to Kotum Castle!”

    [You are now moving to Kotum Castle.]

    I obtained so much stuff in my previous event.

    In addition to the basic reward, I obtained an additional reward by killing approximately 1.9 million enemies, plus a bonus reward for leaving Kuhana last.

    “Alright. Maybe I need to confront them physically instead of talking…”

    The reason I came to Kotum Castle was because I wanted to use my remaining 5 skill points. Even with my current capabilities, I could force the Antalagos people to open their mouths, but there was nothing wrong with becoming even stronger.

    Besides, I didn’t have to save my skill points.

    Anyway, I was moving to the central plaza of Kotum Castle to obtain skills.

    “Check title, Ruthless Slayer.”

    Then I began to check what I obtained one by one.

    [Title: Ruthless Slayer.

    – It is common knowledge that you should be merciless in dealing with the enemy.

    – As a member of the Advance Party, you not only killed countless enemies in Kuhana, but also succeeded in instilling fear into those left behind.

    – You have received a special title as a reward for that.

    : Your health increases by 100,000.

    : Your mana increases by 100,000.

    : Your stat points increase by 500.

    : Your combat power increases by 5% when fighting a target that you regard as an enemy.]

    “Um…”

    Obviously, it was good. Aside from health and mana, an increase of a whopping 500 in all stats was by no means small, given that the average all stat point increase for other titles was only 300.

    But I had no choice but to tilt my head because of one option, namely, a 5% increase in combat power when fighting a target that is regarded as an enemy.’

    Of course, the 5% increase at my level was not a typical 5% because it was a staggering number that would produce completely different results.

    But the problem was the target that I would regard as an enemy.

    So I examined it in various ways. No matter how much I looked at it, I could not really understand it.

    “Can I just do it as I wish?”

    I just stopped thinking about it anymore because I still didn’t understand it at this point.

    “Check status window.”

    This time I couldn’t help but tremble a little.

    [Level: 1537

    Number of kills: 1,915,587 Number of deaths: 0

    Titles: Only Closed Beta Max Level Achiever and 13 others.

    Health: 10,657,000 / 10,657,000

    Mana: 6,421,000 / 6,421,000

    Strength: 18574 Agility: 20941 Stamina: 80557

    Spirit: 52021 (+3000) Intellect: 102237 (+6000)

    Remaining stat points: 20,920

    Remaining skill points: 5

    Traits: Iceman, Mutual Growth, God of Enhancement, All Buffs, All Debuffs.]

    Of course, I expected this kind of result.

    I definitely got a lot of EXP because my level increased by 50, and I obtained an additional reward of 16,000 stat points on top of the basic 2,500 stat point reward, and even another 1,000 stat points for leaving Kuhana last.

    Even though I knew all this, I just became speechless when I confirmed it with my own eyes because I felt the reward was simply too much.

    Moreover, although it did not appear in the status window, I obtained 50,000 coins as a basic reward, about 210,000 coins as an additional reward, making a total of 280,000 coins when I included the 20,000 that I received straight after escaping Kuhana.

    In other words, the reward was simply too big for me to believe that I obtained it by winning in just one event.

    “Hahaha!”

    I felt so good about the rewards because it was all mine.

    With a smile on my lips, I invested all of the remaining 20,920 stat points into intellect.

    Thanks to my Mutual Growth trait, my stamina increased the same amount, and my willpower also increased by half.

    So I was about to close the status window when I clicked the trait ‘God of Enhancement’ as I usually did.

    When the cooldown of ‘God of Enhancement’ was over, I could immediately challenge +9 Enhancement. In that case, I could make the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword into +15 Enhancement, the ultimate enhancement stage, by using 5 Ancient Cooldown Removal Charms and the 100% Enhancement Success Ticket.

    [God of Enhancement.

    -Remaining cooldown: None.]

    “?”

    Obviously, the generated cooldown was about one year when I upgraded +7 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword to +8 Enhancement. In other words, it was 365 days.

    But this cooldown disappeared!

    I couldn’t help but be dumbfounded about what happened.

    So I unwittingly opened the skill window and checked one skill.

    [Savant (Limited Skill)

    -Remaining cooldown: None.]

    My limited skill, Savant, should have had 7 days and a few dozen hours of cooldown left by now because I used it about 2 days ago against the owner of the 6th Royal District.

    Just like God of Enhancement, Savant had no cooldown left.

    “I wonder if all this cooldown disappeared after I returned from Kuhana.”

    If I had to look for any reason, that was the only one. So I had no choice but to stay where I was for a while, for the fact that the cooldown of my trait ‘God of Enhancement’ was over meant a lot to me.

    Then, I turned to the central plaza and stopped by the blacksmith, as usual.

    After a while.

    [Welcome.]

    The NPC who was entering the forge at the moment greeted me, but I ignored him and immediately put the +8 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword into the enhancement window.

    Then I opened my mouth quickly.

    “Activate God of Enhancement!”

    [You have activated God of Enhancement.

    -100% chance of successfully enhancing.

    -Enhancement target: +8 Ice Emperor’s guardian sword.

    -Additional requirements: 2,340,000,000 golden rings, 17.755 billion EXP.

    – Cooldown upon successful enhancement: 821 days]

    It was literally a huge amount of golden rings and EXP.

    However, the cooldown of 821 days made me just speechless.

    But I chose to enhance it right away because the item I was currently trying to upgrade was myth-grade and +8 Enhancement.

    I also knew the solution.

    Anyway, when I chose to enhance, a twinkling light arose from the +8 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword, then a message rang.

    [You have succeeded in enhancing the +8 Ice Emperor’s guardian sword.

    : The +8 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword has been upgraded to the +9 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword.]
