The World Turned into a Game After I Woke up Chapter 68

Translator: HunterW

Editor: RED

After I picked up the Stone Golem's drops, I turned to face the remaining items .

"Look at that; eight whole random chests!" I was still shivering in excitement after finding the Stone Ring . There were still more goodies to come!

Eight chests appeared, as the recommended number of party members for the Seorak dungeon boss raid was eight . These eight beautiful chests were all mine!

"Whew . I need to calm down . These are just bonuses like last time . I barely had to work for these chests; the Yung Gong Guild served them up for me on a silver platter . This is going to be good . "

I started from the rightmost chest this time, and opened it without hesitation .

[Death Penalty Restoration (1) gem x3]

To be honest, I was alright with it if the first chest was a dud . Last time, when I got three duds in a row, then I found a Rank 8 item . If I got seven duds in a row…I wondered what sort of item I would get . But this time, it wasn't empty .

"Not bad . I could definitely use these later on . " They were better than not bad . They were great . It was very easy to flip them for golden rings as many people sought them, especially the wealthy . They were always frantically looking for ways to lower their death count .

Since leveling and finding decent items became more and more difficult as time went on, an alternative method to becoming stronger was to lower one's death count!

"I'm off to a good start . " I quickly put the three gems into my inventory and opened the next chest . There were golden rings inside .

"Nice . 30,000 golden rings . " I continued to open chests one after another . The third chest had 10,000 golden rings, the fourth had 30,000 golden rings, the fifth had 20,000 golden rings and the sixth had 20,000 golden rings .

"This…isn't good . " I didn't like the fact that the five chests all had golden rings inside them . There were so many other goodies out there; why was I only getting golden rings?

"Not good . The flow isn't good at all," I muttered to myself as I stared at the six chests I had just opened .

This was worse than opening three duds in a row back at Bukhan Mountain . It was like gambling . Back then, I won big after losing three times in a row . But now, I didn't lose anything; I made more than I did back then .

I turned to look at the remaining two chests . I had two chances left . . .

I heaved a deep sigh before opening the chest on the left .

[Blank Warp Scroll x5]

Thankfully, it wasn't more golden rings!

"This is good, too . " The scrolls were consumable items, but they were very useful . They acted just like Teleport, and were worth much more than the penalty gems . I placed the five scrolls into my inventory as well . After they were all tucked away, I looked up and stared at the remaining chest .

"All I got so far are golden rings and consumables . Please, give me a piece of equipment . I'll take whatever I can at this point," I muttered to myself before opening the final chest .

Fortunately, there weren't any golden rings or consumables inside . The item was one that I had never gotten to use or even seen in my past life, but I frowned when I saw what it was .

------------------

I placed the 110,000 golden rings I got from five of the chests neatly into my inventory and took out the three items I received to check them .

"Item check!"

------

[Death Penalty Restoration (1) Gem (Rank 3)

Devas lose 2 points to their STR, VIT, AGI, WIL and INT when they die, for a total of 10 Stat points . One Death Penalty Restoration (1) Gem removes one death penalty from the user's death count . The Gem returns 2 Stat points to the user's STR, VIT, AGI, WIL and INT .

One use only

No time limit]

---------

--------

[Blank Warp Scroll (Rank 3)

Go to wherever place you wish; take out the scroll and state "Save current location" to record the location into the scroll . You can return to the recorded location from anywhere else in the world by ripping the scroll . You will be teleported to the recorded location .

Consumed after recording a location

Dungeons and event locations cannot be recorded

Unable to be used during fights . ]

---------

Just as its description said, one Death Penalty Restoration Gem allowed you to recover from one death penalty . A Blank Warp scroll could record one location of your choosing as long as you commanded it to . You could teleport to that location from anywhere and at any time by ripping the recorded scroll .

Each scroll could only record one location and disappeared after use . If there was an important location, people would buy multiple scrolls and record that location so that they could quickly return to it whenever they wanted to .

Though similar in effect as Teleport, there were many that didn't or couldn't learn Teleportation magic and would use these scrolls as they were available for anyone to use . The scrolls couldn't be used to escape dangerous battles, but they were still very useful .

If you made a mistake deep into a mid-grade dungeon and were unable to go forward or retreat and found yourself stuck in the dungeon, you could use a scroll to get you back to safety . The scrolls were expensive, yes, but it was better than having to take on a death penalty . Of course, there were some instances where it was better to die than to use one . . .

The gems and scrolls were Rank 3, but the value of them was higher than most Rank 4 items . They were even more sought after, as Stores didn't sell them .

"The problem, right now, is this thing . " I placed the gems and scrolls back into my inventory and took out the last item I got .

"From the Orb of Vitality to this thing…I don't know about this . Item check!"

--------

[Damage Link Totem (Rank 7)

One of the Link Totems . As long as the Totem is the user's possession, a portion of damage the user receives is transferred to the Totem . The Totem can absorb a maximum of 15% of damage received . Golden rings can be paid to raise the Totem's damage absorption threshold . Only one type of Totem can be in possession .

Current damage absorption threshold: 5%

Golden rings required to increase threshold by 1%: 100,000 golden rings (this amount rises with each level the threshold increases . )

Should the Totem be sold to other devas or sold at a Store's auction house, the threshold is reset back to 5% . ]

----------

I sighed as I looked at the Damage Link Totem in my hand .

"There are so many items with immediate effects out there . I get something like this again . It was the same with the Orb!"

Like the Orb of Vitality, the Totem wasn't a bad item in the long run . Yet, the Orb collected one VIT point for free . I had to pay to make the Totem better . The Orb was so much better . It wasn't a Rank 8 item for nothing .

I had never seen an item quite like this in the past . It was obviously great for tanks . It was good for anyone; you could almost live the rest of your life without getting damaged by anyone .

I was satisfied with what I had received so far, but I couldn't help but feel that I was a little shafted . I had opened a total of 12 random chests, but didn't get a single weapon, armor, or accessory from them .

"Open Stats Menu! Open Equipment Menu!"

"I knew it was a good idea to not lose the boss monster . My Stats Menu and Equipment Menu get better every time . "

The gauntlets and ring raised my STR by a whopping 110 . The ring also raised my health by 30,000, so my health finally surpassed 1,000,000 .

I was more than satisfied that I got to open the random chests for myself and got the Stone Golem's drops all for myself .

Thanks to my Unrivaled skill, I had gained 440 Stat points from leveling up 22 times .

"I'll set my VIT to 2100 and put the rest in STR . " If I continued to rely on my Orb of Vitality, there was a chance that I was going to get so badly hurt that I wouldn't be able to recover in time . I was going to use it one day, but that was in the far future . I had to make sure my VIT was high enough until then .

"OK . I'm all set . "

I had quite a bit of golden rings saved up now, but it wasn't enough for the Totem . I needed a million just to raise its threshold by 1%, and would need more golden rings to raise it even further .

I gave one last smile at my Stats Menu and left the boss room to the safe room .

[You have received a blessing for defeating the 83rd low-grade dungeon's boss .

Blessing effect:

Granted skill 'Create Safety Crystal' for 30 days . (After 30 days, this skill will be removed . )

The 'Create Safety Crystal' skill does not consume skill points .

Hunt field monsters for 30 days and a Safety Crystal will amass experience points . On the 1st, 10th, and 30th day, the crystal will take form and you will be able to receive the Safety Crystal .

You will be restricted from entering another dungeon for 30 days . ]

---------------

"I know already . I had to beat the boss knowing I'll get it . " I ignored the alert that came up when I left the boss room and sat down in the safe room . The gemstones in the middle of the room shone with a blue light and I could see that the counter was at 167 . In 167 minutes, I would be teleported to the dungeon's entrance .

"Since I won't be able to enter a dungeon for thirty days, where should I hunt for the time being?" I didn't regret what I had to do, but now, I had to switch up my plans .

"I was going to stick around here for a month and level until at least 200…" I still had to raise my level by at least another hundred, but that was easier said than done . The difference in experience needed from level 99 to 100 was far less than the experience needed from level 101 to 102 . It was the same concept for level 100 to 200 . In other words, I needed a lot of experience points . But, fortunately for me, I could easily cut down monsters with my specs . I knew that I could reach level 200 at a much faster pace than anyone else . If I could hunt in dungeons, I could do it even faster .

"Should I hunt giant spiders?" I thought of Paju, which was completely infested with giant spiders, which were very easy prey for me .

"OK . I'll start off at Paju . If after a week, I'm leveling too slowly, I'll come up with a different solution . I'll go abroad if I have to . "

There were two entities that I had to avoid for the time being: the Hitman Guild, and the Yung Gong Guild . I wasn't sure about the Hitman Guild, but I knew that the Yung Gong Guild didn't know who I was . I had covered my face and they'd never expect that a low-leveled deva like me was able to learn the Unrivaled skill . The skill was crazy expensive and it just didn't make sense that a no-name deva could ever be able to learn it .

Not even Song Daechul and Song Haein knew that I had the Unrivaled skill!

"It was a stroke of genius on their part that they were able to find out that I had the skill from the Berserker's Roar . The biggest problem right now is the Hitman Guild . " I was able to free myself from Kim Jihan's Frostbite, but I doubted they knew or cared about the Unrivaled skill .

I didn't feel afraid or threatened by the Hitman Guild, but it would be annoying to run into them again . I needed time, enough time to get explosively stronger!

If I headed straight to Paju, I would be able to avoid their eyes .

"I should take my time and do everything in order . That'll be more than enough . " I finalized my plans and put my legs up in the safe room .

I wasn't able to go back up to the third floor anyway, since I defeated the boss . There was nothing else to do for three hours . Besides the location, my plans to power level didn't change .
