[By interfering with the monster's path, one stat point will drop at random.

-Your Intellect Stat has dropped by 1.]

I was not surprised when I saw this message because it was nothing unusual.

But I was startled at the next message.

[Currently, you hold the title of 'The Man Who Doesn't Fall.'

-It is impossible to recover the dropped Intellect stat 1.

-You will get 3 remaining stat points in return for the dropped Intellect stat 1.]

"?"

I didn't understand what that message meant.

But I knew what I should do right now.

So I opened my mouth right away.

'Check status window!'

[Strength 15, Agility 20, Intellect 18]

[Remaining stat points: 3]

"..."

My status window right before the start of Round 50 was Strength 15, Agility 20, and Intellect 19. In other words, my Intellect dropped by 1 just like the first message indicated.

However, I obtained 3 new remaining stat points.

"Why?"

I had no choice but to be confused about it, but I could not afford to ponder on it because the boss monster, the Minotauros, reached the end of the track and set foot on the starting point where it first appeared.

A message rang at that moment.

[You have failed to clear Round 50.]

"Whew…"

"Man, this is really too much."

"Should I keep doing this?"

"I'd rather hunt instead of this…"

I heard the Myongjin players sighing and expressing regrets at their repeated failures, but I didn't bother with it because I already experienced the same a little while ago.

But my indifferent behavior concerned my family.

[Two Sons and One Daughter: Son, what's going on?]

[Super Beauty: What's up, Juyoung?]

My mother and sister messaged me as if they were worried about me.

Not only they but also my father and brother were looking at me with anxious expressions.

Of course, I could understand their feelings because the two messages that rang when I disturbed the path of the boss monster, Minotauros, were so ridiculous that they made me stand blankly for a long time.

So, I smiled at my family members because I found some clues to beat this quest which I didn't think about at all.

[Round 1 begins.]

The Slimes appeared immediately. As soon as they appeared, I stuck my leg forward to block their path. I didn't need to use my whole body to block the slimes, my leg was enough. Soon, my toes touched the Slime.

Then a message rang.

[By interfering with the monster's path, one stat point will drop at random.

-Your Strength stat has dropped by 1.]

[Currently, you only have basic stats.

-As a basic stat has become 0, you can no longer proceed with any further rounds]

At the end of that message, I had to watch my body bouncing out of the track even before it mentioned my title "The Man Who Doesn't Fall".

"..."

"..."

"..."

At that moment, everyone around me looked at me.

They were so embarassed to see me failing so miserable thaty they seemed to think, 'How stupid is he?'

But they couldn't express their disappointment openly because they knew I was Asirante.

I felt ashamed of myself, but I picked myself up and moved to stand at the corner of the track because if I tried to avoid this place or move around in confusion, I would admit I was stupid like they thought.

Of course, even though I pretended to be calm, I was busy blaming myself deep down.

'Damn it. I was in too much of a rush.'

Of course, I knew that since I had no more stats to lose in Round 1 that gave Strength of 1, Agility 1, and Intellect 1 initially, I would be automatically excluded from the game itself if I stood in the way of the monsters.

However, I got too impatient from my previous experience a little while ago, and completely forgot the basics.

Anyway, I waited until this challenge was over because the remaining 19 players could still challenge it even though I was already excluded.

A little later, the 19 players failed to clear Round 31, but nobody pointed their fingers at me because they were quite used to failing by now.

Anyway, with a bleak look, I climbed on Track 1 again, and a new challenge started.

[Round 2 starts.]

I did not intend to make the same mistake that I did in Round 1, so I easily cleared Round 1 and stepped towards the monsters that appeared in Round 2.

[By interfering with the monster's path, one stat point will drop at random.

-Your Strength stat has dropped by 1.]

[Currently, you hold the title of 'The Man Who Doesn't Fall.'

-It is impossible for you to recover the dropped Strength stat 1.

-You will get 3 remaining stat points in return for the dropped Strength stat 1.]

"...."

It was real.

Of course, I knew it wasn't fake, but I still wondered if it would really happen. But now I had no choice but to conclude that it was 100% real because such a coincidence occurring twice would be extremely slim. Of course, I didn't know why such a thing happened.

However, I had better things to do at this moment rather than pondering about it, so I opened my status window and invested the 3 remaining stat points into Strength.

'Check status window.'

[Strength 4, Agility 1, Intellect 1]

Obviously, I was in the middle of Round 2 now, but my status window was ridiculous because I had two more stat points than others. Moreover, since what I received was remaining stat points, I could invest them however I wanted. This was really enormous, but I needed to check something first, so I stepped towards the monsters again.

[By interfering with the monster's path, one stat point will drop at random.

-Your Strength stat has dropped by 1.]

[Currently, you only have basic stats.

-As a basic stat has become 0, you can no longer proceed with any further rounds.]

Thud!

Once again, I was thrown out of Track 1.

At that moment, I clearly realized that I could not clear the quest using these remaining stat points I obtained instead of the normal stat points from clearing each round.

Anyway, everybody around me cast dubious glances at me again, but I ignored them because my realization was more important.

And after that, I tried again five more times to investigate it more clearly

A little later.

'Check title 'The Man Who Doesn't Fall.'

[Title: The Man Who Doesn't Fall.

-Lumen only title.

: Increases health by 10,000.

: Increases mana by 10,000.

: Your level will never fall. (Even if you die at 00.00% EXP as soon as you level up, your level will not fall. )]

An increase in health and mana by 10,000, which was almost insignificant.

Besides, there wasn't even any increase in stat points that normally came with titles.

'Hmm... I didn't get this in return for something.'

All the other eight titles I possessed came by clearing the quests and winning the events until now. As for the title 'Only Closed Beta Max Level User', I obtained it by achieving the max level of the 3rd Closed Beta.

However, I got this particular title of 'The Man Who Doesn't Fall' when I didn't do anything to obtain it. More precisely, I obtained it by cheating.

'Is it because of that?'

In other words, I had no choice but to think the administrator of this game or the system itself gave me this title.

As a result, there seemed to be a conflict between the one who tried to lower my level and the one who didn't want it. Even the stats seemed to conflict with each other because there were only three stats in the status window, namely Strength, Agility, and Intellect.

And I thought I knew why I was given only three remaining stat points because of the

'Lumen Only Title' that accompanied 'The One Who Doesn't Fall.'

Back when I first obtained the title, my ID was obviously Lumen. But it is not Lumen now.

It is Lumen, Asirante.
