I liked the trait shards and coins because I needed both.

Especially, I liked the shiny trait shards even more.

However, I had to pay more attention to the gem with additional EXP because the paramount task for me at the moment was to achieve level 1200 as quickly as possible.

Anyway, I was satisfied with the various rewards.

Given all the rewards that I had received after clearing each stage, I was very satisfied.

So much so that I regarded Pablo as a benefactor.

"By the way, let me confirm my rewards first. Confirm 'Limited Skill: Savant'!"

[Limited Skill: Savant.

-One of the most obvious ways to become stronger is to further develop your extraordinary skills.

-This is the limited skill of Saint Malon, who only devoted himself to one area in his lifetime.

: Out of strength, agility, stamina, willpower, and intellect, the one with the highest stats will double for 30 minutes.

: Cooldown: 10 days.]

"Wow! This is great."

I thought it would be good when I heard the name 'limited skill.'

But it was better than I thought.

The most outstanding stat for me was Intellect, so the doubling of my Intellect would mean I could exercise much more power than before even if it is only for 30 minutes.

And my intellect will continue to increase steadily anyway.

Even now, I possessed a total of 1000 remaining stat points and an additional 300 remaining stat points thanks to the increase in 30 levels in the status window.

Of course, I plan to invest all of them in my Intellect.

In any case, I got carried away with the limited skill that showed an extraordinary effect.

At that moment another message rang.

[Lumen, Asirante belongs to Region 53.

-10 seconds later, you will be forcibly teleported back to Region 53.]

Looking at that message, I recalled all my hard struggles for the past 30 days.

Sometimes I got angry and thought it was so unfair.

But all those frustrating and unhappy moments in the past 30 days scattered like dust and disappeared because I was given a huge reward that made up for it.

Back to Region 53.

"Check status window."

I wasn't curious about where I was now because I was certainly somewhere in Region 53.

Considering my status window had 1300 remaining stat points, I could not wait to see it anymore.

So, I decided to invest them and move to a nearby blacksmith afterward.

[Name: Lumen, Asirante

Level: 530

Number of kills: 1284, Number of deaths: 0

Title: Only Closed Beta Max Level Achiever and 6 others.

Health: 2,103,000 / 2,103,000

Mana: 1,645,500 / 1,645,500

Strength: 2150 Agility: 2150 Health: 12800

Willpower: 7525 Intellect: 15450

Remaining stat points: 1300

Remaining Skill Points: 2

Traits: IceMan, God of Enhancement, Mutual Growth.]

I met Pablo immediately after reaching level 500 and clearing the level 500 only arena quest.

So, not much has changed since then. There was a change only in my level, remaining stat points, and remaining skill points.

However, compared to my level, my remaining stat points and remaining skill points changed tremendously.

"Hahahahaha," I could not control my laughter.

I quickly invested all the 1300 remaining stat points into my Intellect.

I was joyfully imagining which skills to learn with my Intellect of 16750 and two extra skill points that I never thought I would obtain before.

But I soon stopped smiling because I felt the same feeling around me as when I met Pablo first.

So, I opened my mouth quietly.

'Use limited skill Savant!'

[Currently, among strength, agility, stamina, willpower, and intellect that Lumen, Asirante has, his most outstanding stat is intellect.

-Current Intellect: 16750.

-For 30 minutes, his Intellect will be changed to 33500.

-The skill will go on a 10-day cooldown when the 30 minute period ends.]

I used the skill first.

Did I want to attack Pablo with this skill?

I didn't want to right now because I wanted to go back to Region 0.

However, I was bothered by God of Enhancement because I would not be able to use it for 30 days if I went to Region 0 again.

"Hey, come out now!"

Although I shouted at Pablo, I wished I had stopped by the forge right before opening my status window and investing the 1300 remaining stat points.

But I would not have had time to stop by the smithy anyway because only several seconds passed when I sensed someone behind me after arriving here.

"Good to see you again. By the way, you seem to feel better now that you are out of that place. Yeah, I think so. it must have been hell."

At first, I thought it was hell, but when I stepped forward in it, I knew it was heaven.

But I didn't mention it because I still had mixed feelings about going back to Region 0 and using the God of Enhancement trait.

So, I said, "Hey, how about meeting me in five minutes, or three minutes or one minute because I have to say hi to somebody first? I want to inform him about my joyous return."

"?"

I was serious with my words.

Exactly one minute. Yes, one minute was enough.

But Pablo tilted his head as if he didn't expect my response.

"I guess you must have been very shocked. That must be the case."

Of course, I was shocked in a different sense because I never thought there would be such a place like a treasure island in Region 0.

"Then, let me make the offer once again. Won't you join the Lucia Gild? Of course, you'll have to make a wise choice this time. Otherwise, you will have to experience hell again for 30 days."

Actually, I wanted to experience that hell again.

But I shouted, "Damn it! Why should I join that garbage Lucia guild? I'm happy to stay with Daeyu!"

I made my choice ruefully.

I had obtained so much in the past 30 days, and I didn't know if I could visit it again. So, I decided that I should try to get as much as possible by going there again.

So, I replied to Pablo angrily since I would not be able to use God of Enhancement for another 30 days.

"Oh my God...are you really crazy?" Pablo asked, shocked.

"Damn, I'm not crazy at all. You don't know how good the Daeyu Guild is. What do you know about Daeyu?"

Daeyu was good enough for me because they shared the Salimaru Bandits quest with me.

Anyway, Pablo opened his mouth, looking embarrassed as if he could not understand my rejection.

"Got it. Then I'll send you back to that hell!"

Obviously, I knew I made the wise decision, but I still felt a bit regretful at the same time.

But something unexpected happened to me and Pablo.

[You have already taken the test as someone suitable for the Region 0 test.

-It is impossible for you to move to Region 0.]

"?"

"???"

Now it was me who was embarrassed instead. In fact, I thought a bit that this kind of thing might happen.

That's why I used the skill called Savant as soon as I first confirmed Pablo's presence around me.

But Pablo seemed to be embarrassed three times as much as me.

He was just staring at me blankly with his eyes wide open.

He reacted far slower than me.

"Ice Prison! Ice Field!"

Currently, my Intellect reached 33,500 thanks to my limited skill called Savant.

So, Ice Prison and Ice Field, which were distinctively different from before, unfolded before my eyes. At that moment, Pablo's presence became blurry.

Obviously, Pablo was trying to counterattack using his trait of 'Penetrating Wall', which boasted of an impressive might.

"Ice Storm! Pouring Hail! Ice Rain!"

I intensively attacked the place where he was standing previously even though his presence was not so clear to me now.

Shortly afterward, there was a somewhat weird noise.

Crack!

There was nothing that could be broken around me, but I heard the sound of something breaking apart.

And something in the form of a human appeared in front of me. It was Pablo.

"Kuhhhhhh...how could you…"

"Ice Spear! Multiple Ice Arrow!"

Pablo was glaring with his eyes wide open.

Without responding to him at all, I spammed my skills endlessly because I didn't need to give him any clues. And Pablo was killed just like that.

"Thanks, man. I got more than I expected."

I shouted towards the place where he was killed with an embarrassed expression on his face.

At that time in Russia.

Bang!

Pablo threw the 3G VR device to the ground and got up from his seat.

"This can't be happening! It's impossible!"

He could not understand what happened at all.

Clearly, Asirante was level 500 when he took part in the level 500 only area quest.

Anybody who was level 501 or higher could not proceed with the test.

However, the message clearly said he was suitable for the test.

But Pablo couldn't keep pondering over it because the moment he was killed by Asirante, a message rang.

[Your trait of 'Penetrating Wall' has been destroyed.

-You cannot use the trait "Penetrating Wall" anymore.]

Pablo was aghast.
