The World Turned into a Game After I Woke up Chapter 140

"It's a pain, but what can I do?" I said to myself outside of Store 72 .

The Time Attack quest was much more important than normal dungeon hunting, and I wanted to get first place by a mile . I quickly made my way to Cairo's Store, but when I got there, I had no choice, but to leave right away . The only way to participate in the quest was to buy an entry pass to either a one-man or a sixteen-man dungeon .

I had to keep my promise to Anton and Marie to keep buying from Store 72 . It was a bit of a pain, but they did help me out quite a bit . Besides, it took less than a minute to get from Cairo to Seoul now . I already had the cash to use .

I left Seoul's Teleporter Zone and headed for Store 72's general store .

---

"Hey! Are you actually going to do it?"

"Of course I will! You saw the rewards; there's no way I can pass it up . "

"Dude…if all we needed was motivation, then everyone would do it . But look at the rewards yourself . Do you think it'll be that easy? You're going to get ripped apart by the monsters . "

"Oi . Are you telling me to pass it up?"

"No, do it . Knock yourself out . The entry passes are 1 golden ring each, anyway . Just don't expect anything . You should look in a mirror . You actually look like you'll get first place! Puhahaha!"

"Tsk . You…you never know! I might not get first place, but I could at least rank high! I may not look it, but I'm the ace of my team!"

"Ha…sure, whatever . The rankings are going to come out after today so good luck with whatever you're going to do . "

------

Everyone was talking about the Time Attack quest .

-Yeah, it always gets noisy when these types of quests appear . -

These quests were perfect for people to compare themselves and find out who was really stronger, even for average devas . In the past, I didn't have anyone to do that with, but now, at least I had a few people I could show off to .

I quickly headed up to the general store and bought 60 one-man entry passes and 60 sixteen-man entry passes . I knew I could only enter 60 dungeons in the next month, but I bought 120 passes just in case .

"Entry passes aren't resellable and will expire in thirty days . "

"Okay, got it . "

As I browsed through some other items, I heard a loud bang that sounded every time I came to this Store . I left the general store and looked up to see Anton .

"It's you again, Lee Jiwon?"

I decided that it would be best to visit his office first next time . He was attracting way too much attention .

---

I found myself back in Anton's office, sipping on tea and talking with Anton and Marie .

"Ha… you always give me a fright every time you come to my Store . "

"I can see that . I'll make sure to visit your office first . It's getting old . "

"I know, right? Please do that from now on," Anton said, taking my joke seriously . "Anyway, what did you do this time? There aren't that many things that could give me these many points . "

It could only be Absolute Destruction . I doubted that Altered Equality could make Anton this excited .

"Hehehe . " It was always nice being able to surprise someone like this .

"Why are you laughing? Well, whatever the reason, it's good for me too . If my best customer's happy, then I'm happy too . " Anton started laughing too .

"It's nice to see you've been doing well, Master Lee . "

"Thanks, Marie . "

---

After a few more words, I left Anton's office .

"Hey, that's him, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it's Lee Jiwon . "

"Is he here for Time Attack?"

"I guess so . But wouldn't he be super helpful in a sixteen-man dungeon?"

"Of course he will . Even if half of his rumors are true, having him on your team would be one hell of an advantage . Someone of his caliber could easily make short work of the quest . "

"Then, since he's not part of any guild or anything, there's going to be some fierce competition to get him on a team . "

"Who knows? It's only the first day, and there's still plenty of time left . All we can do is wait and see . "

"Damn…all those guys who had been saying that they're the top players must be freaking out . Everyone's going to see the results right away . "

"Hah! You're right . It's going to be fun to watch . "

Again, people were staring at me and talking to themselves . I quickly wove through the crowd and left the Store .

"Blink 1 . Blink 2 . " I Blinked away to get as far away from the Store's vicinity as possible . "Looks like there aren't any records out yet . "

Next to both Cairo's Store and Anton's Store were two large thirty-meter tall display boards . One was for the one-man dungeons and the other was for the sixteen-man dungeons .

"Then again, the quest did just drop . " Only an hour had passed since I first heard about the quest in Alexandria .

"The highest record back then was…huh, I don't know . " I racked my brain but it didn't come to me . I didn't really care about the quest back then, so it was obvious that I didn't know .

"Oh, but I do remember that all of the deities monopolized the one-man dungeons . " The memory came to me as I looked back at the display boards from atop a building overlooking the Store .

The sixteen-man dungeons were mostly completed by parties, but the one-man dungeons required a player to tank and deal damage on his own . In other words, healers and supporters couldn't enter one-man dungeons on their own, it was impossible for them . Tanks were in similar situations, as well .

Only high-damage dealers and all-rounders stood a chance in one-man dungeons, but even mages, archers, or assassins were at risk, as they couldn't withstand high amounts of damage .

"That's right . People were going off that the one-man dungeons were made specifically for deities . " They really were the perfect dungeons for deities, who could attack and defend easily .

"But now…heh . " Things would be different now . I was going to get so far ahead of everyone else that people would start thinking that my ranking was a bug . Then again, if I did that, I could cause quite a stir . . .

"Well… it doesn't matter now . I can't hide my strength anymore . "

I took out a one-man dungeon entry pass from my inventory . "Enter one-man dungeon . "

==[You have used a one-man dungeon entry pass .

You will now be moved to a one-man dungeon .

Dying in the dungeon will incur the same death penalty as always . However, you can always give up the dungeon and will be moved back outside .

Monsters in this dungeon do not drop items, golden rings or EXP .

You will be timed until you defeat the dungeon's boss monster . ]==

I was soon transferred from the rooftop to another place, inside a dungeon I had never seen before .

"Mana Conversion – Fire . "

==[Mana Conversion – Fire Level 2 has been activated . ]==

This was only my first attempt . I still had plenty more chances, and decided to use Mana Conversion to test the waters here .

"Let's do this . " There was a wall behind me and the only way was forward . I stepped forth, filled with anticipation and excitement . Soon, I could see hordes of orcs blocking the way .

"Nice . It's been awhile since I've seen you guys . " Monsters had to be orcs . However, these orcs weren't normal . They all looked as strong as the Legendary Orc Champion, the first dungeon boss monster I'd ever faced . But still, they weren't boss monsters, and I had grown much, much stronger since then .

I charged in at the horde without hesitation, and pummeled them with my spear .

"Gwek!" an orc cried out as my spear stabbed through his chest .

"Skree! It's a human!"

"Kill him!" The orcs charged in at me as well, but it was exactly what I wanted them to do .

-One, two, three, four… . -

I swung my spear at the orcs without rest and counted each time I attacked . I wanted to see Absolute Destruction go off . There was only a 1% chance it would work . In other words, it should go off in about 100 attacks . But going off once every 100 attacks was basically worthless . It had to at least go off once every 50 attacks .

"Kwek!"

-Thirty-seven, thirty-eight, thirty-nine…-

I started to get nervous the closer I got to 50 . I was lucky enough to have Shaman Ko give me 3 Stat points a day when that itself only had a 1% chance of working . Powerful Shock went off a few times, too; although it only did it just when I was about to forget about it .

-This isn't looking good…-

If Absolute Destruction activates as often as Powerful Shock, then it would really suck . It would have been better to get another effect .

"Kwek!"

Of course, I didn't really need either of them to activate against these orcs that fell easily against my attacks . It would be better if they activated against the boss monster later on .

"But if they don't go off here, how can I expect them to go off in the boss room?"

I struck down the final orc in front of me . In less than seven minutes, I had cleared the surrounding area of elite orcs .

"Ha…that was 317 attacks, and still no sign of Absolute Destruction . " Neither effect had activated against at least a hundred orcs .

"No…it's too early to give up!" I quickly headed forward . There were undead monsters for balance purposes and a few spike traps and rock traps here and there . There was also an iron door that required constant damage to break but none of these were enough to slow me down . I crushed anything in my way and sprinted ahead . I wasn't worried about any of that .

"Shit . What is…going on here?" Absolute Destruction's probability was very weird .

It did end up going off; on my 453rd attack .

A black bolt of lightning struck an undead monster's head .

==[Absolute Destruction has been activated .

Your opponent dies regardless of how much HP it has . ]==

==[Absolute Destruction has been activated .

It went off until my 463rd attack . It went off eleven times in a row!

"Huh…how am I supposed to react to this?" I was glad that it went off consecutively like that, but it was completely random . There was nothing that could tell me it would go off soon .

"Geez . It's not like I can't alter it in any way, either . "

There wasn't much I could do, so I decided to leave it at that . At least it activated and I saw its power .

I just had to hope it would go off against the boss monster . I just kept charging forward, cutting down the monsters in front of me .

==[Boss Room]==

"That took about an hour and twenty minutes . " I did take my time going through the dungeon as I checked this and that . "If I go as fast as I can, I could cut down my time by twenty to thirty minutes . That leaves me about an hour to clear the dungeon . "

In the end, it had to activate on the boss monster . If it did, then I could set the fastest record . It'd even be better if it went off on the first attack!

I stepped closer to the boss room .
