99. Round 7 Results Tally
The main quest for Round 7 wasn't about escaping from illusions.
'The real quest was about escaping from temptation.'
The first was the sub-quest of committing suicide.
The second was the main quest of escaping from temptation.
Round 7 is composed of these double illusions.
Most people would have felt relieved thinking they escaped the illusion after the first stage, but that wasn't the case.
'It's not over until it's over.'
In other words, even Seo A-rin confessing to him and the message saying the illusion was over were all lies.
This is why Ryumin prophesied not to be swayed by temptation.
'If they remembered my words and rejected the temptation, they would have easily passed the main quest.'
Of course, he didn't mention anything about the sub-quest reward because he needed to claim it for himself.
The 'Rune' reward given to only one person was something he absolutely needed to deal with Yamtti.
Crackle- Crackle-
As Seo A-rin's figure disappeared, Ryumin looked at the message that appeared.
[You have completed the main quest 'Escape from temptation within 2 hours'!]
[You will now truly escape from the illusion.]
The illusion lifts.
Seo A-rin, the grassland, everything disappears.
The background that appears is a pure white, colorless space.
This is the true space after escaping the illusion.
[Huh? What? There's a human who woke up at this time?]
Seeing Ryumin move, Priscilla flew over from far away.
[I wonder who the human who woke up first is... Gasp!]
Her eyes widened as she got closer.
[Black Scythe?]
'Why is she surprised?'
Ryumin tilted his head.
He couldn't read her thoughts because of the distance.
A smile gradually spread across Priscilla's surprised face.
[Kekeke, kekekeke.]
'What the? How annoying.'
Ignoring Ryumin's serious face, Priscilla laughed for a while.
Unable to bear it anymore, Ryumin asked.
"Um, Angel? What's this situation?"
[Ah, ahem. This isn't the time for that. Khehe. Black Scythe. You escaped from the illusion temptation first. Congratulations.]
"Illusion? Ah, was that so?"
He pretended not to know on purpose in case the angel became suspicious.
[Please wait until the time limit ends. The rewards will be given when the results are tallied.]
Soon after, a pillar of light descended and restrained Ryumin.
Thud-
Sitting down comfortably to wait, Ryumin looked around.
In the colorless space, numerous people were standing with their eyes closed.
They were the people seeing the illusions.
'They probably moved the location after casting the illusion.'
The grassland seen at the start probably wasn't an illusion.
If you know it's an illusion, you'd be annihilated even before the round starts.
'The system casts the illusion after the time limit starts flowing.'
Before that, you won't be annihilated even if you know it's an illusion.
This is why Ryumin was able to use the Authority of Control on himself.
'Most people are probably experiencing the second illusion by now.'
The first illusion of committing suicide is for the sub-quest.
Even if you don't commit suicide without hesitation, you won't be excluded from the survival list.
You just lose the chance to get the reward.
'The important thing is the main quest. Escaping from temptation.'
The second illusion temptation that follows immediately.
Like the first illusion, the system creates temptation based on the player's inner data.
There are various ways to create temptation.
Material temptation, temptation of the opposite sex, temptation to escape from pain, etc.
The temptation experienced differs for each person.
'In my case, Seo A-rin confessed and asked me out.'
What if you don't escape from the temptation and use up all the time limit?
Of course, you fail.
On the other hand, if you escape from the temptation?
Your ranking depends on how quickly you escaped.
'The faster you escape, the better. Like me.'
But if you killed Seo A-rin as soon as you saw her, it wouldn't have counted.
The time measurement starts after you receive the temptation and reject it.
This is why Ryumin waited for Seo A-rin's confession.
'To kill her as soon as the temptation started.'
It probably took about 1 second or less.
It was the same in his past life too.
Ryumin rested his chin on his hand and spent time boringly.
[Time remaining until round end: 01:30:51]
'Still 1 hour and 30 minutes left.'
It wouldn't have been this boring if he could see everyone's illusions.
As he was waiting with such thoughts, some people woke up from their illusions.
"Gasp! Wh-what!?"
"Wh-where is this?"
"What's going on?"
"Don't come near! Huh?"
"It's useless to tempt me! I have someone I love... Ah?"
The angel gave a simple explanation of the truth.
People who realized the reality scratched the back of their heads awkwardly.
As time passed, more people were surrounded by pillars of light.
Finally, the time limit passed, and everyone woke up from their illusions.
Clap- Clap-!
Priscilla smiled and clapped her hands.
[Now, now, humans, get your wits about you? As you all know, what you've seen until now was an illusion. You probably know the quest content, but I'll reveal it once more.]
A message window appeared and the quest content was revealed.
└Escape from temptation within 2 hours
└Commit suicide without hesitation
└Upon success ▶ ?? ??? ? awarded
[As you can see, the main quest was to escape from the illusion temptation. The hidden sub-quest was to commit suicide without hesitation.]
"What? Committing suicide was the sub-quest?"
"Ah, you mean that situation that appeared at first?"
"Damn it, how could we commit suicide in that fucking situation?"
"What a crazy quest. Who the hell would commit suicide without hesitation?"
The players all expressed complaints as if they had taken severe mental damage.
[Ha, I see some humans here whose heads want to explode?]
"..."
When Priscilla got serious, the crowd became quiet as if cold water had been poured on them.
[But don't worry. I won't kill you. Because I'm in a pretty good mood right now.]
Priscilla smiled brightly and fluttered her wings.
A results tally window appeared before everyone's eyes.
★ Round 7 Results Tally ★
[All Areas]
└1st. Black Scythe (Lv54 Reaper) 00:00:01
└2nd. Chrissy (Lv27 Priest) 00:00:05
└3rd. Cheonma (Lv29 Dark Knight) 00:00:06
[This Area C2-ESKA003]
└1st. Black Scythe (Lv54 Reaper) 00:00:01
└2nd. Ahn Sang-cheol (Lv34 Knight) 00:00:18
└3rd. Seo A-rin (Lv34 Summoner) 00:00:24
People who saw the results window all looked disgusted.
"Black Scythe is 1st?"
"Again?"
"This was a quest to escape from illusions..."
"Does this mean his mental strength is flawless too?"
"Look at that, he rejected the temptation in 1 second."
"He's not human."
"Huh huh huh."
Unlike the players who were shaking their heads as if fed up.
[Kihihihit.]
Priscilla's smile reached her ears as she looked at the results window.
'I won! I won the bet thanks to Black Scythe!'
Was it because of the joy of claiming the throne?
Priscilla had even forgotten to give out the rewards.
"Angel? The 1st place reward hasn't come in."
[Ah! That's right. Sorry, Black Scythe.]
The angel, who rarely apologized to humans, fluttered her wings and reward messages appeared.
[Congratulations! You have achieved the quest as 1st place in this area!]
[Congratulations! You have achieved the quest as 1st place across all areas!]
[Player 'Black Scythe' is currently ranked 1st across all areas, 1st in this area.]
[You will receive a 'Random Draw Selection Ticket' as the 1st place reward for this area!]
[You will receive a 'Special Reward Selection Box' as the 1st place reward across all areas!]
Messages popped up one after another, but the rewards didn't end there.
[You will receive the 'Rune of Mental Barrier' as the sub-quest reward!]
[The acquired rune will be automatically engraved on the player's body!]
'Finally got it.'
After obtaining the desired rune, an information window popped up.
[Rune of Mental Barrier]
- Effect: Immune to all mental attacks.
'I've finally obtained a means to counter Yamtti.'
Now he could dominate Plseba if he wanted to.
'With this, I won't fall for those damn illusions either.'
This was why the system gave the rune reward last.
If it had been given in the middle, the second illusion temptation test couldn't have even been attempted.
Ryumin looked at the rewards that came in earlier.
Until now, equipment items came in as the 1st place reward for the area, but this time it was a draw selection ticket.
[You can select one of the following random draws.]
[Please touch the reward you want.]
└ 1. Random Gold Pouch
└ 2. Intermediate Magic Stone Draw Ticket
└ 3. Surprise Potion Box
'There's not much choice.'
He already had the highest grade magic stones, and he had more than enough gold.
There was only one choice.
'I choose number 3. Surprise Potion Box.'
There are consumable items called potions that will appear in Round 8.
Like in games, drinking them can heal wounds or give various buff effects.
There are many types.
'It must be quite varied for there to be a draw box.'
There are three ways to obtain these potions.
Get the unique alchemist class, kill boss-level monsters that appear after Round 8.
And lastly.
'NPCs. Or should I say otherworlders?'
You can also buy or obtain them from otherworlders.
Round 8 is when those otherworlders start appearing.
'It will probably be bewildering for the players. They'll see otherworlders they can communicate with after only seeing monsters that can't speak.'
Ryumin remembers being very surprised when he first learned about the existence of otherworlders.
What was especially confusing was that it was hard to tell if they were really human or NPCs.
'Well, that's still unknown even now.'
Anyway, since otherworlders appear from Round 8, titles can be utilized.
He also needs to obtain the two runes he was aiming for.
'The Rune of Future Vision and the Rune of Durability.'
Moreover, Round 8 is good for leveling up.
Some people will probably reach level 40.
'I'll probably reach level 60.'
Ryumin's gaze turned to the last remaining Special Reward Selection Box.
[You can select one of the following special rewards.]
[Please touch the reward you want.]
└ 1. 3x EXP Increase Buff (Limited to Round 8)
└ 2. 20,000 Gold
└ 3. Information about Round 8
He chose number 1 without hesitation.
The next round is good for gaining experience after all.
[Now, everyone has checked their rewards, right? Then we'll have the time of annihilation. Humans who didn't make it into the rankings and those who didn't escape from temptation within the time limit. Goodbye to you all.]
"W-wait!"
"No!"
Pashhhh-
Without even time to make excuses, half of the players turned to dust and disappeared.
[And as I said before, we decided to make the player who cleared it fastest the area representative, right? As you all know, this person is the unified area representative.]
[Player 'Black Scythe' has become the new area representative of C2-ESKA003.]
People nodded at the message announcing the representative.
It was a fair result with no room for objection.
[I will give the promised reward to Black Scythe who became the unified area representative.]
After a moment, the long-awaited message appeared before Ryumin's eyes.
[The authority of the temporary skill 'Authority of Control' has been changed.]
[From now on, you can use the Authority of Control once in reality.]
[The authority will be immediately revoked if you lose the area representative position.]
