The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - RMLP Chapter 216: Information Sharing (Part 1)

[Hero’s Rune]

– Effect: Every time you save someone, you gain 1 stack (up to a maximum of 100).

For every stack, all your stats increase. If the number of stacks decreases, the stat bonus diminishes accordingly.

You can consume 100 stacks to cast “Hero’s Protection” on a target you wish to protect.

While “Hero’s Protection” is active, the caster can use “Hero’s Touch.”

– Hero’s Protection: Activates the moment the target is attacked, creating an absolute shield that blocks all damage for 10 seconds. Once applied, it lasts indefinitely until triggered. Only one target can have this protection at a time, and the caster cannot apply it to themselves. If the caster places the protection on a new target, the previous one is removed.

– Hero’s Touch: You can either teleport to or summon the target protected by Hero’s Protection. This can only be used within 10 seconds of Hero’s Protection being triggered.

‘Finally, I’ve obtained it. The Hero’s Rune.’

It was one of the 18 essential runes, specifically useful when protecting a particular individual.

‘If someone attacks my brother, he’ll become invincible for 10 seconds, and during that time, I can either teleport to him or summon him with Hero’s Touch.’

Ryu Min imagined casting the skill on his brother. If anyone attacked him, he’d enter a state of invulnerability for 10 seconds. He’d receive an alert and have two choices: use Hero’s Touch to summon him or teleport to his side.

‘It’s the perfect skill to protect him.’

Additionally, as long as he kept stacking, his stats would keep increasing. Even though it was a temporary buff tied to the number of stacks, the potential boost was impressive.

‘A 100-point boost to all stats? That’s more than worth it.’

The only condition was that he had to save 100 people in danger, but Ryu Min wasn’t concerned. There were plenty of people around.

‘I’ll just exploit the system, like when I acquired the rune.’

By summoning a demon and defeating it, it would be recognized as saving the people from danger.

‘The issue is that once you’ve saved someone, you can’t save him again.’

He had already used up 100 people, so he needed new individuals to finish his stack.

Fortunately, after all the procedures, the number of followers had exceeded 170. That included members of Player Haven and non-member players.

“With 175 Korean players, nearly all of them have joined.’

It was beyond Ryu Min’s expectations that so many would gather.

He had spent 1.7 million points, but he didn’t regret it. Considering how easily he had managed to gather the players, it had been a bargain.

‘It would’ve been nice to have 200 people, but this isn’t my only chance.’

Feeling that everyone who was meant to come had arrived, Ryu Min set his plan into motion.

With a glance from Ryu Min, Heo Tae-seok nodded. They had already discussed it, and he knew it was time to summon the second demon.

Moving through the crowd, Heo Tae-seok discreetly planted a seed in the ground.

Pop!

It wasn’t difficult to plant the black seed. He simply activated a skill, and the object seeped into the ground like a dark fluid.

Heo Tae-seok glanced at Ryu Min, nodding slightly.

It was time to summon the second demon.

Ryu Min adjusted his mask and gave the signal.

Suddenly, a trunk as thick as a tree shot up from the ground.

“Kraaaahhh!”

Since it was a random summon, there was no way to know which demon would appear. However, even Ryu Min was surprised this time.

‘That’s one of the top-tier demons, a Requiem?’

Players erupted into chaos at the appearance of the second demon.

But it was short-lived.

Crash!

Ryu Min’s scythe split the demon’s head, ending the chaos immediately.

“Even after my warning, they dared to summon another demon. It seems my words fell on deaf ears.”

Though he spoke with apparent anger toward an imaginary enemy, his face behind the mask remained calm. In fact, he was smiling as he looked at the message in front of him.

[Hero’s Rune Stack: 70/100]

[All stats increase by 70 due to the effect of the Hero’s Rune.]

‘Good. Just 30 more stacks to go.’
