A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - FSAGW Chapter 120 (Part 1)
“To think that distributing Attribute points gives double the effect. As much as it’s limited to the ‘strength’ attribute, this title seems almost nonsensically powerful.”
“S-rank… This is the first time since the limit enhancement.”
The effect was astonishing, but what was truly surprising was the title being of the S-rank.
Kaiyan had tried repeatedly to increase his skill grades and knew all too well how significant an S-rank was.
Even his main attack skill, ‘Penetrating Stab, was still at B-rank, and here he was with an S-rank title. And that too, not by effort but sheer luck.
“…I guess I should cancel my plan to distribute points to intelligence.”
He had intended to invest in intelligence upon leveling up this time, but the title’s effect made him greedy.
If he distributes all his future ability points to strength, he wondered how high his strength stat would be when he reaches the lofty level 299. And what if he increases it further with the Golden Dice?
‘Just imagining it….’
*Squeeze*.
He felt that when that time came, the strength currently coursing through his clenched fist would be nothing in comparison.
“Phew… Alright, this is the last one. Storage.”
From an unexpected skill to hitting the jackpot, and now a jackpot with the title.
As a result, his hands trembled as he reached for the summoned storage, shaking with uncontrollable anticipation and excitement.
[“Limit Breaker Gift, the corpse of a Twin-Headed Ogre,…”]
“Limit Breaker Gift, huh… Open it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy, luxurious box landed in Kaiyan’s left hand.
The boxes, usually in the form of rewards, looked quite similar to the quest reward boxes. Though he wasn’t sure if the contents would be the same.
“Phew! Let’s see…”
[Kaiyan!]
As he took a deep breath and was about to open the box, Rieka, who had been conversing with the spirits, rushed over like a bullet.
[Really! Were you going to open the box without me?]
She looked at him with disappointed eyes, as if to say how could you.
“…Of course not. I was just preparing as it seemed like you were wrapping up your conversation.”
He couldn’t bring himself to say he had simply forgotten in the face of Rieka’s shining eyes.
[Really?]
“Of course. Are you done talking?”
[Yes! I’ve asked for all the necessary information. However, the spirits don’t know much about Havmheim, so we’ll have to explore and find out for ourselves.]
(T/N Changing Havemime to Havmheim. Seems more appropriate.)
“That’s what I expected.”
[Ah! And besides the Kuma, there are other monsters!]
“Other monsters? Where are they located?”
Kaiyan never thought there would be other monsters besides the crocodile-like beasts.
Given the size of Havmheim, which seems larger than he thought, it wouldn’t be possible for group-living Kuma and other monsters to coexist otherwise.
[From where we met the Wind Spirit, most of this area is the territory of the Kuma, but if we go to the side or upwards, there are other monsters. But it seems they’re not all group-oriented creatures, considering they have their territories.]
“Hmm… Territories, huh? That means they can defend against the Kumah packs…”
Even if the more than a hundred dead Kumahs he encountered were the end of their pack, such numbers of large monsters usually cause other creatures to flee their territories. But these maintain theirs?
“It could mean they are either in huge numbers or much stronger than the Kumahs. Like how a single Ogre in a forest prevents an Orc colony from invading its territory.”
[That’s likely. Fortunately, obtaining G shouldn’t be a problem with so many monsters around.]
“That’s a relief. It means there’s a way to escape from here.”
If they keep collecting G, they can eventually escape, even if it takes time. Just the thought was invigorating to Kaiyan.
Especially since this place is dominated by large monsters. It could even be more beneficial in terms of experience than hunting in residential areas. The only concern was delaying checking in Vantigas.
‘Vantigas… I’ll have to buy a teleportation scroll later to get there.’
He had already been through tough situations while heading there, like participating in the Markain War and fighting monsters in Lumbanium. It’s as if someone was telling him not to go to Vantigas.
[Kaiyan?]
“Ah! Just lost in thought.”
[But now, how about opening the reward box? I’ve never heard of a reward for achieving 1000 points in a certain attribute! I didn’t even know such a thing existed!]
“That so? This is even more exciting.”
Rieka not knowing meant other players in different dimensions probably hadn’t achieved a 1000 stat point milestone. Though Rieka didn’t know all player aides, so there might be a few.
“Alright. Open the box.”
*Woosh*!
When Kaiyan shouted to open the box, it was a bit different than usual. Instead of items jumping out immediately, colorful lights spewed out of the box. The spirits, either startled or intrigued, gathered around to watch the lights emanating from the box.
“Kirurut?”
“Goo!”
“Yeah, I find it fascinating too.”
*Woosh*!
The intensity of the light grew, and the box vibrated as if it would fall out of Kaiyan’s hand at any moment.
“…This isn’t going wrong, is it?”
[…I hope not.]
*Flash*!
“Ugh!”
As the box cracked and burst the light in all directions, he closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them, the light had disappeared, and in his left hand lay a box, or rather, a cube.
“…What’s this?”
[Oh, oh!! Jackpot!!]
As Kaiyan fiddled with the black cubic box, Rieka, perched on his shoulder, exclaimed in a voice that was beyond astonishment.
“Why? What is this exactly?”
[You don’t know? It’s a Dimensional Cube!]
“What? A Dimensional Cube? You mean a subspace?”
A subspace, huh? Now that he thought about it, it looked very similar to the low-grade Dimensional Cube he got in the third-floor warehouse of The Karsia Family. To be honest, all boxes looked similar.
