The World Turned into a Game After I Woke up Chapter 190

Chapter 190
Translator: HunterW Editor: RED I completely understood why Song Haechang had such a shocked expression . Hell, even I checked the King-Emperor's Commitment every day because I couldn't believe an item like that could ever exist . In my past life, there were seven items called The Seven Treasures, and one of them was the Lightning Boots of Azazel . The King-Emperor's Commitment wasn't one of them, however . The one I had right now was completely different than the one of the past . This one was in the form of earrings, but the past one was in the form of a bracelet and belonged to one of Cheng Long's unexceptional healers . It only had three effects, which were made specifically for healers . The past one was nothing compared to mine . While I didn't know what the other six treasures were, I was confident in saying that my Commitment was strong enough to become one . I was sure that in this life, there could even be eight treasures instead of seven . It was that powerful . "…I see it's a King-Emperor item . " "Yes, it is," I said . "Hah . Wow . Before I came here, we at Sunbin believed that we could compete for the top three places since we had a Rank 10 item of our own . We did have our sights on first place as well, but realized that would be too difficult, even for us . " Song Haechang took a sip of his tea before continuing, "Now, the reason I came today was that if you registered the King-Emperor's Mantle, you could at least get into the top 50s, no, into the top 30s . But I can see now that we've needlessly butted in . I feel ashamed . " "Please, don't worry about it," I said, waving my hand . To be honest, it was thanks to the Sunbin Guild's help that I was able to create the King-Emperor's Commitment, after all . If it weren't for them, I would have had to deal with the greedy Wai Chung on my own and he probably would have got in the way of my plan . The Sunbin Guild had even given me its King-Emperor's Helm and Mantle willingly . In the end, it was through Sunbin that I managed to complete the King-Emperor's Set . After that, we discussed what to expect in the next thirty days . Right now, the top players were being careful, but eventually, they were going to lay down their cards . While they would do that for the quest reward, they would also be confident they could protect their treasures from grabby hands . Song Haechang didn't ever mention the King-Emperor's Commitment ever again, and I didn't bring it up . Once he left, I sat back on my sofa and took out the Dungeon Mole again to pet, while lost in thought . --- Thirty minutes later… "The item that took first place was Broken Spacetime, right?" If I recalled correctly, the Lightning Boots of Azazel hadn't appeared in this quest . Wakaba had assembled it after this quest . Like the Lightning Boots, Broken Spacetime was also one of the Seven Treasures . That meant if I kept the Commitment hidden and registered the Boots, I could place in the top three . However… "Each person can register up to three items…" All solo players, organizations and guilds technically had a chance to place in the top three . If it weren't for that, I would have kept the Commitment hidden and just registered the Boots instead . Actually, if Kazunari hadn't attacked me in first place, I would have been content with registering the Boots . The reason he had attacked me at all was that he was afraid of me . He didn't want me getting any stronger and wanted to get rid of me, kind of like how I wanted to get rid of the Blood Prince and the Predator Duke . That told me was that I was pretty threatening to some people, and I was kind of happy with that . "But that doesn't mean I should give up on this quest . The reward is too great to do that!" The reward I got from the Time Attack quest was the Rank 10 Infinite Space Ring . If there was even a slight chance this quest would give me a similar reward, then I was going to get first place no matter what! "If people are going to care about whatever I do half-assed or earnestly, then I might as well give it my all, so that no one will ever be able to catch up!" That was what it all boiled down to . Pretty much everyone in the world knew about me and wanted to know what I did, just like how Cheng Long and Nayuta cared about what Sunbin did and how the Shire Guild cared about what the Spencer Guild did . I had three Rank 10 items as well, so I decided that if I was going to do this quest, then I would give it my all and live up to my reputation . "And if anyone tries to take them away from me… I'll make sure to teach them what that means . " -Banana candy!- "Haha . I'm busy trying to figure out how to win, and all you want is candy," I said to it for butting in at such a weird time . The mole got up on its hind legs and squeaked for more candy, so I took out another one and placed the candy in front of it . "Here, eat up . You're going to be pretty busy soon, too . " Soon, some nameless person was going to get a treasure that would become the harbinger of disaster, just like it had in the past . When that happened, I was going to need the Dungeon Mole's help . I resumed petting the mole as it licked the piece of candy . ------ The next night at the Sunbin Guild headquarters… "Dig in . " "Thank you . " I had received a invitation from Song Daechul to have dinner with him, Song Myungsoo, Song Haechang, Song Haein, and four other high-ranking officers . I could tell this was about what I showed Song Haechang yesterday . He had to have reported it, since it was a Rank 10 item and an unusual one at that . "You know, the older I get, the more I can't hold back my curiosity . If this meeting makes you feel too uncomfortable, feel free to let me know," Song Daechul said to me in the middle of dinner . "No, I'm fine sir," I replied with a small smile . It didn't seem like they were trying to interrogate me, and I wasn't a criminal or anything . Yeah, I did use the Sunbin Guild a little, but only I needed to know that . "I heard something strange from Haechang yesterday . " "Yes sir," I said with a nod . "I didn't ask you here to interrogate you . As I said before, I'm just curious, which was why I had rewatched the video of that day . I had thought that when you were sacrificed, that was the end to the quest . But… that wasn't it, was it?" "No, sir, it wasn't . " The King-Emperor's quest was over anyway, so there was no need to keep everything about it a secret . Song Daechul let out a booming laugh, while Song Myungsoo and Song Haein blinked in confusion, since they were the ones who were with me in the Tomb . "Could you explain what happened after?" "I can . " "Haha! Thank you!" Just then, Song Myungsoo cut in . "By chance, were the irreversible seventy death penalties…?" "Yes, sir . That part was a lie . I didn't receive a single one . " "Ha…" That was the one reason neither Sunbin nor Cheng Long could volunteer any one of their members to be sacrificed . Those other six people in that room were the future of their respective guilds . They had naturally shifted their attention to me, expecting me to become the sacrifice instead and that was how I got to squeeze 1 . 4 billion golden rings out of the two guilds . "When I stepped onto the altar, I was transported to an identical room . A message appeared, telling me I had passed the test and was taken to the King-Emperor's true treasure room . " After that, I explained how I was able to create the King-Emperor's Commitment with the effects of my choice and what the requirements were for each effect . I didn't tell them everything, but I told them enough so that they could understand . "And that was how I got the King-Emperor's Commitment . Reveal King-Emperor's Commitment . " ==[The King-Emperor's Commitment (Rank 10) The King-Emperor's true treasure . All Stats increased by 450 points Increase Mana Conversion skill level by 2 Add Blink Skill Increase CRIT rate by 9% Increase CRIT damage by 500% Increase Penetration by 240 points Increase EXP gain from monsters by 15% DEF 1000, MDEF 1000]== I revealed the Commitment for all to see, just like I had shown Song Haechang, and the others ended up with the same expression he had yesterday . Song Daechul burst out laughing again . "We were all too greedy! And that part about the sacrifice; it was all to a trap to pit us against one another," he said to no particular person . "You were properly rewarded for your selflessness, it seems . " "No, I was just lucky . I was the only solo player there, after all . It only made sense that I had to be the sacrifice . I believed getting paid 200 million by the members of both guilds was enough restitution," I said, playing it off as if I had gotten lucky . No one had any suspicions, it seemed, and they had all bought my story . "Fortune favors the prepared mind and you, Jiwon, were prepared in mind, heart, and soul . " "I apologize for not telling you sooner . " "Don't worry about it . You made that item all on your own . You had no reason to tell anyone . " Song Myungsoo had a bitter expression at what his father said . I understood how he felt, because he made the best decision he could considering his circumstances . "Leave it . You don't need to worry about anything . You made the best decision you could make . There was nothing else you could have done," Song Daechul said . He felt the same as me . "Yes, sir . " We talked a little bit more about the King-Emperor's Commitment . "By the way…" Song Daechul began . "I feel like the King-Emperor's Commitment isn't all you have . We all have three chances, which was why I sent Haechang . I was sure you had a few Rank 9 items in your possession . But… it would seem I have underestimated you once more . " I didn't say anything back and only smiled . "Hahaha! I thought Sunbin stood a chance this time, but I'm reminded of the Time Attack quest once more . " Song Daechul saw right through me . I was going to do exactly like I had during the Time Attack quest!
