◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
A cheerful system alarm rang in my ears.
The minimized quest window opened wide, filling my retinas.
【Escape】
Escape from the Other World. (Complete)
– Reward: 20,000 points (additional rewards based on performance), 2 Grade Promotion Tickets (C-grade or lower), B-grade Talent and Skill Selection Ticket, 3 Random Cheat Usage Tickets.
– Failure: Death.
The quest information was displayed first.
Congratulations!
You cleared the quest!
…As if saying that, a flashy, sparkling clear message followed.
And below that.
“20,000 points’ will be given as a reward.”
“2 ‘Grade Promotion Tickets (C-grade or lower)’ will be given as a reward.”
“B-grade Talent and Skill Selection Ticket’ will be given as a reward.”
“3 ‘Random Cheat Usage Tickets’ will be given as a reward.”
The rewards for the hardship I experienced in the Other World were listed.
However, this was merely an appetizer to whet one’s appetite, and there was something else to fill the hunger.
Bbambba ba bam!
[☆★Performance Bonus!☆★]
That was none other than the ‘additional rewards’.
“…It’s here.”
A fanfare rang in my ears.
The colorful, iridescent message dazzled my eyes.
But that was only for a moment.
As the fanfare sound grew distant and the iridescent message faded.
My anticipation grew and tension rose at the same time.
“I wonder…….”
Who destroyed the main core?
Me? Or Kang Cheol-su?
The result was soon revealed.
“Quick gathering of 15 people including main and supporting characters.”
“Additional reward of ‘40,000 points’ will be given.”
“Led supporting characters (Park Ga-ram, Lim Da-hee) to destroy sub-cores.”
“Additional reward of ‘1 Random Cheat Usage Ticket’ will be given.”
“‘Perfect’ command of 15 people including main and supporting characters.”
“Additional reward of ‘A-grade Talent Selection Ticket’ will be given.”
……It was not there.
There was no achievement for destroying the main core.
I checked the reward list again.
Still no change.
So this time, I checked if there was a scroll in the list window.
There was no scroll.
I closed the quest window and opened it again.
The content remained the same.
I checked three times, but all three times, there was no change.
“……Hmm.”
I let out a sound and slumped against the headboard of the bed.
I had expected it, but confirming that it really wasn’t there made me feel deflated.
But that regretful feeling was short-lived.
I quickly shook off the emotion and regained my energy.
“Well, I expected it.”
There was no need to feel too disappointed.
And although it was the result given by the system, I also thought that the one who destroyed the main core was indeed Kang Cheol-su.
Because the explosives exploded not when my grenade hit, but after Kang Cheol-su fell.
Therefore, the main core that came into contact with Kang Cheol-su’s body would have been destroyed first by his ‘Pulverize’ skill.
Anyway, even without the achievement of destroying the main core, the quality of the rewards was very excellent.
In particular, I really liked the Grade Promotion Ticket (C-grade or lower).
Why?
Because with that promotion ticket, I could upgrade my ‘Transfer (F)’ skill, which was practically my identity.
“I wonder how much the distance will increase.”
Currently, the transferable distance of the Transfer skill was 1m.
If it rose by two grades, how much would it increase?
I immediately used the Grade Promotion Ticket to find out.
Grade Promotion Ticket (C-grade or lower) has been used.
Transfer (F → E)
Grade Promotion Ticket (C-grade or lower) has been used.
Transfer (E → D)
Finally, the Transfer skill escaped from F-grade.
How much did the distance change?
I immediately checked the skill information.
Transfers an item you possess to a desired location.
– Transfers an item you possess to a location within a 15m radius.
– Mana consumption increases as distance increases.
– Cannot transfer inside a living creature.
“Oh, wow!”
The distance increased to 15m!
I jumped up from my seat and shouted.
F-grade was a mere 1m.
Just two upgrades and it became 15m!
Now I didn’t have to dangerously install bombs anymore.
Not only bombs, but with a radius of 15m, I could realize the things I had in mind to some extent.
“If D-grade is like this, I wonder how much C-grade will increase.”
Just like how a mid-tier superhuman could defeat 10 low-tier superhumans.
The same went for talents and skills, with effects and power rapidly increasing from C-grade onwards.
It literally changed to a different level.
“Will it be at least 50m?”
Since D-grade is 15m now, I think it will be at least that much.
“Ah…, I want to upgrade it to C-grade quickly.”
Since they gave a Grade Promotion Ticket for C-grade or lower this time.
I hoped the next reward included a Grade Promotion Ticket for B-grade or lower.
Of course, that was my wish.
You know, system?
“By the way, there’s something new in the skill information.”
Mana consumption increases as distance increases…
“When it was 1m, it was really a tiny amount, but I wonder how much mana will be consumed for the maximum 15m.”
I tried using the skill to check.
And the result of using it.
“Ah, crazy.”
30% of my mana evaporated.
And that was with just a single use.
“…It’s good that the distance increased, but the mana consumption is too high.”
…I was trying to save the selection ticket this time.
It seemed I would have to get a mana-related talent even if it was just for the mana consumption.
“Since I got one B-grade and one A-grade selection ticket this time…….”
I’ll use the A-grade selection ticket later and get a talent with the B-grade selection ticket.
And since I’ve accumulated 100,000 points, I’ll also purchase the Discern skill.
With that thought, I immediately opened the point shop and entered ‘Mana Increase’, ‘Mana Recovery’, and ‘B-grade’ in the search box.
With those keywords set, four talents were found in the search.
“…What, there’s only one I can use?”
Is it because only the keywords were entered?
There was no need to compare which was better, as there was only one talent I could use out of the four.
A management method created by a hero to reduce skill mana waste.
– 10% reduction in mana consumption of B-grade or lower skills.
– When mana is 60% or higher, mana recovery increases by 30%.
– When mana is less than 40%, mana recovery increases by 50%.
– Mana +10.
“Not bad.”
Although there were no derived skills, it was a talent that suited me perfectly right now.
I immediately used the B-grade Talent and Skill Selection Ticket to purchase the talent.
And then, I purchased ‘Discern (B)’ for 80,000 points.
Can briefly know the target’s talents and skills.
– Check the target’s talents and skills.
– Mental +10
With that, the skill purchase was also done.
I decided to check my status window for the first time in a while.
I wondered how much it had changed from the beginning.

“Wow, is this really the same status window I saw at first?”
My ability values were so low that I called it a beggar’s window.
Of course…, stamina and strength had fallen even more, but the rest had changed so much that it could be called a rapid increase.
And in the talent column that had been completely empty, four talents appeared, and in the skill column, three more were added including derived skills.
If it was like this, it could be called a status window again instead of a beggar’s window.
“I feel proud.”
I closed the status window with a satisfied smile.
“The last thing to check is the cheat tool……”
The total number of tickets I currently had was 8.
7 random tickets and 1 selection ticket.
And since 6 random tickets had been fulfilled, one draw had become possible.
But using it now seemed unreasonable.
The most efficient way to obtain cheats was to use selection tickets first, then use random tickets.
However, if I do a random draw now when the minimum usable 3 selection tickets haven’t been collected yet, the number of uses for ‘Infinite Stamina’, ‘Infinite Items’, and ‘Speed Limit Removal’, which have the lowest number of uses, will go from 6 to 12.
Of course, the others will also double.
Therefore, it was almost essential to use selection tickets first.
“Super Accuracy alone is still enough for now.”
It would be nice to have Infinite Items.
But there was no need to obtain it right now in the early part of the story.
All the useful items appear from the middle part onwards.
And even if I do a draw now, there’s no guarantee that Infinite Items will come out.
If ‘Infinite Stamina’ or ‘Speed Limit Removal’ comes out, I’ll have to suck my fingers for quite a long time.
So, as I planned last time, I think I can just hold out until I collect 3 selection tickets.
And even without Infinite Items, I have infinite supplies.
“I should sleep today and go resupply tomorrow.”
Resupply.
Find the Fallen worshipper, extort money, and also gather information about the named ones.
Ah, I can rest tomorrow.
I’ll be busy again.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
The next morning, at the training ground.
I was in a very good mood thinking of abundantly filling my inventory today as well.
But that feeling was short-lived.
Plop.
I ended up sitting down in front of the firearm supply storage.
It’s not there.
The supplies that should have been tightly packed were not there at all.
“…Why? Why is it empty?”
The supplies are definitely refilled once a day, right?
No, the academy has a lot of money.
Why aren’t they refilling this?
Are they ignoring it because it’s firearms?
All sorts of emotions swirled inside me.
But that was only for a moment.
I discovered a piece of paper inside the storage instead of supplies.
At this, I trudged over and picked up the paper.
And reading the text written on the paper.
Until then, we will not refill the firearm supplies.
– Supply Staff –
“…….”
It was a message from the supply staff to me.
But…, judging by the scribbled handwriting, they seemed quite angry.
“Ah.”
Should I just do a draw?
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Bro you have infinite mana cheat on queue, is there a need to buy mana management now? Also is there a need to save up the select cheat ticket too? iirc, not like the random one, it won’t increase the price right?
Who knows when when get the infinite mana? He have at least manage for now.
