The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 113: Level 60 (2)

Heimer! We need to report this to the temple immediately!

Yes! The ones we were supposed to protect have turned into our enemies!

With things like this, we may never reach our destination

S-silence!

Heimers outburst silenced the protesting dwarves.

The volume of his voice was enough to make even the players, who had been observing the situation, pause and turn their attention.

Is this the time to discuss such matters? The most pressing issue at the moment is that there might be traitors hidden among the warriors from another realm, Heimer pointed out.

Heimer looked up at Ryu Min and said, Thanks to you, Ive spared myself from disgrace. Please allow me to express my gratitude for saving my life. May I know your name?

Ryu Min hesitated. He couldnt simply reveal himself as the Black Scythe, especially not with so many witnesses around. It would be challenging to gain any benefits from the dwarves if he provided a false nickname.

A tricky situation.

But theres a way.

While others might not be aware, there was a system in place for such situations: titles.

Ryu Min selected one of the titles he had acquired over time and clicked on Show Title.

[Ahead of the Pack]

Above his head, the title appeared in place of his nickname. Unlike nicknames, titles couldnt be hidden.

This sudden change left the players wide-eyed.

Whats this? Who is that?

Why can we see his nickname, but not ours?

We dont have that?

Some players who were unaware of the concept of titles mistook it for a nickname and voiced their confusion.

Well, theyve probably never obtained one, Ryu Min thought, understanding the reaction.

Titles were rarer and harder to acquire than runes, and Ryu Min had earned several of them.

At that moment, Heimers expression changed as he looked at Ryu Min.

Ah? Are you Ahead of the Pack?

The titles display seemed to have caught Heimers attention.

To people from this realm, it probably holds a different meaning, Ryu Min mused internally.

To players, titles were just a substitution for nicknames, but among these beings, titles seemed to carry a deeper significance. It was as if revealing a title triggered a particular reaction based on an internal story or system.

Youre indeed Ahead of the Pack, Heimer acknowledged with a chuckle. Modesty suits you.

Heimers laughter quickly turned serious as he expressed his gratitude. Thank you for saving us. If it werent for you, Id be nothing more than a fallen dwarf on the roadside. Just the thought sends shivers down my spine.

Observing Heimer, Ryu Min asked cautiously, Do I need to reveal my name?

What significance does a name hold? You already have the reputation of being Ahead of the Pack, Heimer replied.

Ryu Min nodded, relieved that he didnt have to reveal his true identity as the Black Scythe.

Now, even if I meet other dwarves besides Heimer, I can use this title to gain their favor, Ryu Min thought, considering the potential benefits.

As if to confirm his theory, a message appeared:

[The reputation of Black Scythe among the dwarves has increased from Neutral to Friendly due to the title Ahead of the Pack.]

Just as he had hoped, the title was influencing the dwarves favor toward him.

This is the practical function of titles, Ryu Min realized with a smile.

While he smiled and pondered this, the work of identifying the traitors continued.

However,

Grrr Grrr!

Grrrah!

Suddenly, the assault of Orcs interrupted the traitor identification process.

Ryu Min, taking on the appearance of Lostyak rather than wielding the Black Scythe, stood guard over the dwarves, all in an effort to solidify their goodwill.

Little did he know,

Having the Ahead of the Pack among us really boosts my confidence in reaching our destination.

His skills are exceptional, even compared to other seasoned warriors.

It would be a true honor if theyd consider using the weapons Ive crafted.

The dwarves who were silently observing couldnt help but be impressed.

Ryu Mins hunting speed was a tad slower this time, he couldnt help but let out a sigh.

I cant reveal my transformation in front of the dwarves, so it looks like Ill have to stick to using the sword for this wave.

While he wasnt entirely satisfied with the hunting speed, it wasnt drastically different from using the Scythe.

With the scythe, he could eliminate four Orcs in one sweep, whereas the sword required four stabs.

But if I can earn the dwarves favor and secure some rewards, its definitely worth it.

Ryu Min planned to receive rewards from Heimer once the escort mission was complete, but he decided to build up his reputation just in case.

Being thorough didnt hurt.

As Ryu Min continued to dispatch Orcs, a welcome message popped up before him.

[Your level has increased!]

[Your rank has risen from Expert to Master.]

[You can now use the Duel Request feature.]

Reaching level 60, Ryu Min had ascended to the rank of Master. With this achievement, he gained access to the Duel Request feature, a valuable addition.

You can challenge each other to one-on-one battles using this feature, with each person putting up an item as collateral or making some other promise.

In simpler terms, it allowed players to wager something valuable and engage in one-on-one duels. This feature was more commonly used in the real world than in other realms.

[In celebration of your rank increase, the Death Seal skill has been upgraded!]

[Additional damage from the Death Seal skill has increased from 140% to 160%.]

[In celebration of your rank increase, the Death Night skill has been upgraded!]

[The range of the Death Night skill has increased from 1,000m to 1,500m.]

[In celebration of your rank increase, the Moonlight Island skill has been upgraded!]

[The range damage of the Moonlight skill has increased from 1,200% to 1,800%.]

Ryu Mins existing skills were sequentially enhanced a welcomed development. However, his attention was immediately drawn to a new skill.

[You have acquired the exclusive skill Crimson Moon!]

[The next skills will be automatically acquired when you reach level 99.]

[Exclusive Skill Crimson Moon]

Effect: Reduces the cooldown of Moonlight by 1 second for 10 seconds. Crimson Moon can be used again only after the 24-hour cooldown.
