Chapter 33: Ranking and Assassin King
'He is a solo player, huh?' I said to myself as I continued scrolling down.
There are more than forty players who reached level 20 which monopolized the first top 50 rankings while the rest are 19 or 18.
"It seems like the players are usually at level 15, huh? After a week, they will definitely reach 40. No, if it is Xera, he will reach level 50 before a week..." I muttered as I scrolled down.
The bottom of the ranking has another ranking but this time, it is named [Unknown Players]
[Unknown Players]
[1. Lunar Scythe
2. Unknown (Conqueror)
3. Equinox Flower
4. Solar Sword
5. Kingslayer
6. Cuirass
7. Unknown (Richest Man)
8. Steff
9. Leprachaun]
There are only nine of them and I am ranked one and two. I know that the second rank is me because of the word "Conqueror" next to me.
'But I wonder who is the [Richest Man] thing... I should check out what happened yesterday and earlier...'
[--- Articles ---]
[Theories on who is this richest player who bought a whole town on the northern border of Fioru Kingdom...]
I touched it, obviously, and they wrote down what happened.
He is a mysterious player who bought the whole town called [Ingrancia].
"[Ingracia]? Don't tell me?!" I stand up as I continued, "That is--"
'That is the place where we established our guild, it is in our history... I wonder who bought them...'
They also said that they suspected him/her to become one of the 100 Rulers but for now, it is just a theory.
As I finished reading the article published 12 hours ago by the player called [Shenanigan] which is ranked 23 in the rankings, I stared at my game capsule and noticed something weird.
I felt mana towards the capsule.
I walk towards the capsule to check if I am wrong and opened it.
I noticed the floating lights inside the capsule. Red, green, gold, yellow, etc... It is somehow similar to the colors of the elements in the game.
I then realized a piece of important information. The mana in the game is the same for the real world!
The feeling, the orbs inside me, and the way of casting a spell.
'That is why I feel more used in using mana in the real world...'
I stared at it for a while and lay down inside. I am observing the mana inside this capsule and noticed that the green and violet orbs starting to surround my body. They are the time and space element.
Then, the next thing I know is, I am in the game, the forest where I stopped walking towards the [Orion Kingdom]. But I keep thinking of why is the game capsule contains all of the elements? It seems suspicious but I can't say anything since I have no evidence.
And even if I exposed it, the people will definitely ask me the questions such as, "How did you know?", "Another world energy?"
'Forget about it, I should play now since I have the whole day... It is noon so, it is probably midnight in the game, huh? Should I hunt 'that' guy? It is also a good mount if I captured it...'
I started walking in the forest and as I do so, I checked my stats.
'Wha--?!'
My intelligence and luck are infinity.
"What happened? It is not definitely from equipment and--" then I the system notified me, [You skipped the part of finding the kingdom and directly found the Assassin King. It will automatically count as accomplished because it is the main purpose of this quest]
[You received the [Assassin King's Successor] job]
[Notice: Due to some circumstances. the job will evolve into [Assassin King]]
[You received the [Dragon Fang Sword] equipment]
[You received the [Twilight Daggers] equipment]
[You received the insignia and crest of the [Elshear Kingdom] and [Elshear Royal Family]]
[You received the [Call of the Dragon] equipment]
Then it stopped.
'Just what is going on? I haven't even started the quest, but I completed it?! Wait-- My past self told me that people call me [Assassin King] then when I reached godhood, they changed it into a god, not king. Is it just a coincidence?
No! This is too suspicious!'
I checked the information about the equipment that I just received.

[Notice: You received too much power and your body can't handle the force anymore. You can choose to abandon the items or evolve into a special race?]
'New race? It seems like I am basically not a human anymore here in this world...'
I immediately answered, "Yes"
Then, light shrouded me and I can feel the changes in my body. My arms, chest, and cheeks are becoming hard and my head is starting to have a crown-like horn.
[Congratulations! You evolved from [High-Human] to [Dragonoid]! Please check your stats]

I noticed that I felt that I have the ability to change my appearance from human to Dragonoid... My stats didn't change much but my health increased from 51,000 to 71,000.
"Haah, My luck, awareness, and intelligence are now infinity for both [Theo] and [Lunar Scythe]. If I used the [Dragon Fang Sword], I will also get infinite strength and comprehension. While I will also get infinite charm if I used the [Majestic Sword], I will get infinity charm. What the hell? Is this the effect of almost 2,000 luck?! Now, it is not almost 2,000 but it became infinity... I feel that something bad will going to happen..." I sighed inwardly and walked towards the core of the forest.
"Defense, Dexterity, and Agility are the only things that are not infinity. Hehe, that is good..." I chuckled as I started to hunt the [Dwarf of Dawn].
[Dwarf of Dawn] are the monsters that look exactly similar to the dwarves you've known of but they are only appearing at the core of this place, the [Treant's Southern Forest]
They drop their parts and the rest are all random and I am the only one who knows about this information because it is hidden in the [Space Rift] inside the core of the forest, next to a dungeon called the [Crazy Dwarves].
'Come to think of it... I will give Rufus the information about the dungeons I know... I'll give them the list after they initiate the cooperation with the brother's guild.'
***
1 Hour of farming [Dwarf of Dawn]
"..."
"What the hell?" I said as I sighed out of regret.
The drops that I got... are all rare to myth-grade items... Plus,
'Haah, what should I do with these items?!'

"Oh my god... I actually got all of the skills of the dragons on a different element and the guardian skills with no restriction of the users. Not just that, the limit of the ancient and dragon language reached its limit!
But it is kind of weird that they dropped [Holy Charge]. I will be going to have more than 20 skills at once." I sighed inwardly as I realized that luck might be good for me but I feel sorry for the players.
Then, I learned every skill that I got. I also checked the blueprint and it is a blueprint for a technological magic machine.
The scrolls are for increasing the resistance for warriors or they can support you from duels or battle. It is famous during war and dungeon running... It is pretty rare. It can be sold for 5 silver coins per scroll.
'If that is the case, I'll get 207 gold coins or 2 diamond coins for it...' I smiled inwardly as I looked at the skills.
I clicked the skills on the window interface. And said, "D**n, there is too many! It is a pity that there is no [Pegasus] here"
[Pegasus] are the legendary creatures that are hostile to the [Dwarf of Dawn], once they both saw each other, they will kill each other.

Some of them leveled up earlier. Especially the [Elemental Step]. I already mastered the steps, after all.
It is easy to level up skills in the early stage of the game. The first stage is from level 0 to level 50 which is the [Early Game] of Olympus. The skills will decrease both mana and cooldown while increasing the effectiveness and damage of the skill.
The next stage is called [Awakening] starting from level 50 to level 1000. At this stage, the skills will decrease the cooldown while the mana, effectiveness, and damage will increase. Which is kind of annoying.
The mana is very important to every single player. Once they exhausted it, they can't use skills or boost themselves. Since in the [Awakening] stage, the mana will increase and it will be too annoying to get a skill that uses a large amount of mana.
If it is an annoyance, then the [Apotheosis] stage is the most annoying. Every single thing on a skill such as a cooldown, mana, effectiveness, and damage will increase. The only thing that is great here is that the damage will significantly increase.
The developers called these changes the [Blooming Change]
I checked the skills under the dragon and guardian tree, and all skills are almost the same but different attributes except space and time dragon. But every tree has a unique special skill.
"Now, since [Skill Book Trees] are the items that unlock a set of offensive and defensive skills, I won't lose to any more fights since several of these skills have short cooldown... So easy... I should level up hard soon but, for now, I have to go to the kingdom to formally get the title and activate the plot of land. Maybe, on the way to leveling, I should also go to the [Ingracia Territory/Town] to check who is the buyer..."
