The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - RMLP Chapter 97: Round 7 Begins (Part 1)

Dominance, a temporary skill, grants the player the power to enforce commands on other players. 

However, it comes with its limitations: only 10 uses are allowed, and it applies exclusively to other players. 

The most critical drawback is its exclusive usability in the otherworld, rendering it ineffective in reality. In fact, it’s not even registered in the status screen in the real world.

‘It’s only listed in the skill window when you hold the position of area representative in the otherworld. Once you return to reality, the dominion disappears.’

‘Could it be because I’m not an area representative in reality?’

This time, as a reward for the winner of the Representative Selection Tournament, the winner would gain the ability to employ Dominance only once in the real world.

‘It’s an opportunity I absolutely cannot afford to miss.’

However, Ryu Min’s focus extended beyond this sole objective.

‘In this round, we’ll also receive a rune as a subquest reward. It’s essential for me to dominate Player Haven Café.’

Currently, among the café’s executives, only Yamti is a player. To counter Yamti’s abilities, obtaining this rune was a necessity. Furthermore, it was one of the 18 runes classified as essential.

‘In this round, there are two must-have rewards: the Unified Representative title and the subquest rune. I must obtain both at any cost.’

He was well-prepared to achieve this goal, having made comprehensive preparations to conquer the round.

[It’s time to select our representative. Wait for a moment while we discuss the procedure.]

Priscilla, the one who proposed the discussion, gracefully flew towards the gathering of angels.

[You arrived?]

[Priscilla, hello,]

[Elphir, hello,]

[Sophia, hello,]

The ten angels united, within the unified zone, exchanged formal greetings. It was now the moment to appoint a guide to lead them in this newly unified domain. However, the angels seemed more inclined to delegate the responsibility than to assume it.

“Who would like to volunteer for the role? Anyone willing?”

“What a ridiculous question. Honestly, where would like to be troubled with such a task?”

“We can’t rule it out entirely. There might be an angel who enjoys volunteering,”

“A remote possibility,”

“By the way, Priscilla, I heard you had an interesting time with Oliver last time,”

“Yes, I heard about that. It was a king’s game, right?”

“Indeed, if a human from their designated area wins, they can declare themselves a king,”

“Why don’t we give it a try again this time?” 

“That does sound entertaining,”

Priscilla couldn’t help but be pleased with the angels’ consensus. After all, their designated area had the strongest player, Black Scythe.

‘This is my chance to claim the throne!’

“So, for the representative selection, we’ll opt for the most basic deathmatch…”

“Wait a moment. That won’t work. You guys have Black Scythe in your area,”

“Huh?”

“Oh, we knew that. Hehe, we all heard it,”

“The Black Scythe is the only human who has surpassed level 50, right?”

“If we go with a deathmatch, Priscilla will undoubtedly become the king,” 

“But that would be an unfair game,”

“Why should we seize the throne through force? Tsk!”

Priscilla, who had secretly hoped to seize the opportunity, was disheartened.

“So, what should we do? Any other good suggestions?”

“A strength-based game won’t work with the Black Scythe in the picture,”

“Indeed. It might be better to have a game where the first human to complete the seventh round wins,”

“Oh, that sounds reasonable,”

“Besides, the seventh round is unrelated to physical strength,”

The angels reached a consensus on this suggestion, with Priscilla being the only exception.

“Priscilla, what are your thoughts?”

“W-Well, it seems fair,” Priscilla reluctantly admitted.

She may have had reservations, but there was no solid reason for her to oppose this plan. After all, the seventh-round quest did not hinge on strength.

‘Darn it, I thought I could seize the throne this time…’ Priscilla’s inner doubts began to surface.

Perhaps, this time, Black Scythe wouldn’t secure the first place.

“This might be the first time our records get shattered,” other angels shared similar concerns.

“If passing the seventh round is the condition, it’s worth a shot. Haha,”

“Even though he’s a Black Scythe, the seventh round is beyond his reach,”

Priscilla’s dejected expression gave the angels a glimmer of hope. They, too, saw the possibility of claiming the throne for themselves.

And if they were to become king, they had already pondered whom he might target.

“Oh yeah, by the way, Priscilla? I’m sorry, but until the seventh round is over, you’ll have to continue managing the area.”

“Even if it means doing it reluctantly, you’ve got to go through with it. Heh.”

Unbeknownst to the angels who had already huddled together behind her, Priscilla returned to the humans’ side.

[After discussions among the angels, we’ve settled on the method for selecting the representative. It won’t be a deathmatch this time, unlike the previous round. The area representative who is the first to complete the 7-round quest will become the unified representative.]

“Oh, it’s not a deathmatch?”

“Whew.”

A sigh of relief escaped from all the area representatives. If they had to face off against the Black Scythe, they would undoubtedly be powerless.

“So, the area representative who finishes the quest first becomes the representative… Does that mean I have a chance?”

Even though they didn’t yet know the specifics of the quest, they believed it had to be better than a deathmatch.

[As an additional incentive for becoming the unified representative this time, we’ll grant one secret reward. Of course, this is a secret that will only be revealed to the human who becomes the unified representative.]

They referred to it as a secret, but Ryu Min was already aware of the reward.

[Alright, let’s announce the 7-round quest!]

A quest window appeared shortly after, and everyone stared at it with keen interest.

The quest content was concealed behind question marks.

“Angel, is there an error in the system?”

“The quest is marked with question marks.”

[It’s not an error. The 7-round quest is classified as hidden.]

Contrary to Priscilla’s composed explanation, the people looked puzzled.

“Hidden…”

“How are we supposed to complete it if we don’t know what it is?”

[There’s no further explanation. That’s it.]
