The World Turned into a Game After I Woke up Chapter 245

Chapter 245: 245
Translator: HunterW Editor: RED ==[You have arrived at the Judge's Continent . ]== "Open Stats Menu!" I cared more about my reward than the fact that I had arrived at the Continent or the ramparts, which were marked Section 35 . ==[Name: Lee Jiwon Level: 973 Death Count: 0 Title: Earth's First Deva HP: 16,090,700/16,090,700 MP: 602,800/602,800 Strength: 41,133 + 6,591 Agility: 25,101 Vitality: 28,001 Willpower: 5,968 Intelligence: 5,228 Unassigned Stat Points: 6,000 + 3 Fatigue: 0 Special Effects: Luck Boost (X+1), immune to all Status effects, Dungeon Seeker 14 points Physical Attack: 164,297 Physical Defense: 62,597 Magical Attack: 15,954 Magical Defense: 41,534]== I smiled when I saw that I still had the Luck Boost . I was definitely going to need it in the coming battles, whether it was to get more SK points or when it came to opening my new Random Item Chest . I also noticed the 6,000 stat points I received just from coming to the Continent . My base STR was also exactly 28,982 points; I just needed a little more than 1,000 points to get it to 30k . I took out my Comm Link for now . I had to make sure my grandfather, my mother, and my other comrades registered in Call were okay . But as soon as I took it out, it rang . It was probably my mother or someone from the Empire . "Jiwon!" It was my mother . "Hi, mom . " "It took you long enough! Why didn't you pick up all this time?" "What do you mean? I just arrived . " "What? We couldn't call you for a month!" "A month?" "Yes, a month!" I looked back at my Stats Menu . I only had 3 SK points, meaning that only a day had passed for me, but my mother wouldn't lie about that . I then remembered how long I had to wait at the giant Don Gate . That must have had something to do with it . "Okay, we'll figure out why later . Are you somewhere safe? What about grandpa and the clan?" "Yes, we're fine . Don't worry . We're with the Sunbin, Myth, Ravi Guilds and some others from the Empire . We've secured a base for now . " "Whew… that's a relief . " "Where are you right now?" "I am…" I looked around me and noticed the ramparts labeled Section 35 off to the distance . "I see a sign that says Section 35, and a lot of Earth devas are around too . " "Section 35?" "Yeah . " "That's the section where we all are! Come to Center D! That's where we set up our base!" "Great . I'll be right there . " "Okay . Hurry . " I hung up, but the second I did, my Comm Link rang again . It was the Sunbin Guild this time, and our conversation was pretty similar to the one I had with my mother . I arrived a month later than everyone else and was also directed to get to Center D as quickly as possible . "Well, at least it's not the worst thing to happen . " It was good enough that we weren't completely separated . But that was good news for others as well . I turned my head to the sky to look at the leaderboard that showed the numbers of each side . We were outnumbered by 700 million . The enemy would like that we were all gathered in one spot . "Well, we'll find out who's truly disadvantaged once we fight for real . " Relieved that my family and comrades were at least safe for now and I knew where they were, I turned back to my Stats Menu and started to increase my STR . ==[Your base STR has surpassed 30,000 points . Your total STR points: 42,151 Your base STR points: 30,000 STR points increased by items: 11,850 STR points increased by skills: 300 (King-Emperor's Grand Dignity), 1 (Kiran's Stat point . )]== ==[You will be awarded a bonus for surpassing 30,000 points in STR before anyone else . STR will be increased by 2,000 points . This bonus is awarded to the first person to accomplish this achievement . ]== I was always happy to see those messages, but I had honestly expected a bit more . "What, I only get 2,000 bonus points now?" I had expected it to go with the pattern and get 3,000 extra STR points! Well, it was probably for balance reasons . . . "I guess it doesn't really matter . I got a bonus either way . Now the question is, what do I do with the remaining 4,982 points?" I had planned on going straight for STR after getting my base AGI and VIT to 20k, but I had way too many points to spare now . "Should I get STR to 40k first and go from there?" My base STR was now at 32k . I needed 8,000 more points to get to 40k, but I had almost 5000 points remaining . I just needed 3,000 points now and I was confident that it wouldn't take long to achieve . "Alright! Let's do that then!" I invested my remaining points into STR . Once I was done, I jumped fifty meters down to the bottom of the ramparts . It wasn't difficult for me to figure out which way was Center D, thanks to all the signs all over the place . There were also a lot of people around, talking to one another . --- "Are you sure you want to stay in Section 35?" "Of course . This is where the Empire is set up . " "Yeah, shouldn't staying with the Empire be safe enough?" Another deva sighed . "You idiots . Think for a second . " "What?" "The Empire already announced that they'll be doing everything they can to ensure Earth's survival . Do you really think Section 35 is going to stay peaceful for long?" "Oh… you think so?" "Of course I do . Why do you think Russia's number 1 guild, D . Nerv, left this place?" "Black Moon left the West Gate yesterday, too . " "See? They don't want to get caught up in the Empire's war . " "But we're just normal devas… do you think the Empire will force us to do anything?" "That I don't know . But all I know that it's going to get real uncomfortable for us if we stay . " " . . . " --- They definitely weren't wrong and I completely understood why they would think that way . But what I also realized was that not pulling your weight on the Continent meant incurring huge penalties . When the Otadolon stage first started, there was nothing about a requirement to become a deva and doing your best . But now, mortals were being punished and were now called Tardy Devas . Something similar could happen to you if you didn't fight, especially now that you were on the Continent . There was definitely going to be a reward for those who did their best that would further increase the distance between them and the lazy ones . I then heard someone who had the same idea as me . --- "I don't know about the Black Moon, but from what I heard, D . Nerv left Section 35 because they didn't want to be pushed around by the Empire before we even catch a glimpse of the enemy . " "Yeah, that's what I heard too . " "Besides, you all saw what happened to the mortals before we came here . There's also the whole point system we encountered at the giant Don Gate . " "Whatever we do here on the Continent has to be more important than anything else . I'm positive only those who at least try hard will be rewarded . " "Yeah . We'll get screwed if we get lazy here . " "Do you really think so?" "I think so . I mean, we only have one life now, so we do have to be careful . But that doesn't mean we can crawl into a hole and hide until this all blows over . " "Hmm… it sure is a tough choice . " --- As I overheard the conversations, I finally made it to Center D . "Oh! Mr . Lee!" "Mr . Lee is here!" I was greeted by members of Abu Dhabi first and managed to finally meet with my mother, grandfather, and the officers of the Empire . Once I made sure most of us were all right, we got together to figure out our next step . "According to this map, Earth controls Sections 1 to 75 and the enemy controls 76 to 150 . " A large map was spread out over a large table, illustrating a land mass divided into 150 sections . "Where did you get this map?" I had noticed a few weapon, skill, and item shops on the way here, but I was met with the same message each time . ==[You cannot use this shop at this time . ]== I doubted that they were able to obtain a map of this size by fulfilling whatever requirements in a month's time . "We got it through a quest . " "A quest?" "Yes . Everyone in Sections 1 to 75 received the same quest, and we managed to obtain three copies . " "Ah…" That explained enough . The officers continued their explanation about the Continent . Earth controlled the West side of the Continent, while the enemy controlled the East side . Currently, the center border was impassable . "We haven't been able to cross the center border at all . " "We've tried digging beneath it and tried to climb over it, but an invisible force stops us from going and seeing over . Blink obviously doesn't work, either . " So, no one had seen anyone from World 1512 . "In my opinion, it's been blocked off because you had yet to arrive," Taniya said . "The system was probably waiting for all participants to join . " "That does sound plausible . " "That's the best theory so far . " "If I'm right, then it's going to begin very soon, as long as they don't have late arrivals like Mr . Lee . " "I hope that's the case," Song Daechul added . I and the other officers nodded in agreement . We were all sure I was late because of my points . There was no other explanation otherwise . If they had someone arrive later than me, then it could only mean one thing; that person was stronger than me . Either way, we decided to deal with that when the time came, and discussed our next move . We also tried to get more people involved to raise our chances for survival . The next day, the voice spoke again . -Ah . Ah . Ahem . In my 3700 years as Judge, this is the longest time I've ever waited . Just how many points did you have to make me wait this long?-
