Awakening, one could raise their level to 300 as a basic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, being able to level up and actually doing it were two different things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because as the Awakener became stronger, the monsters they faced also became stronger and stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to gain meaningful experience, one had to hunt monsters of a similar level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a certain level, it became difficult to even hunt monsters of the same level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s common to give up on leveling up at that point.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between levels 151 and 250 was what was commonly referred to as the stagnation zone, or the C-rank zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conquering C-rank gates with a party still meant risking one’s life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, the thought of going to the gate to make some money had been accompanied by excitement and anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from here on out, the anticipation of returning alive began to be the default mindset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, Cedric seemed to not understand the concept of being stuck at level 200.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Surprisingly, it’s possible.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a miraculous genius who couldn’t even reach level 300, which even the neighborhood F-rank Awakener could reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kim Minwoo was a remarkable example of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I searched for a way for 6 years…….’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ultimately, he couldn’t find it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he had no choice but to fight against the Dragon Lord at level 200.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he had found the way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If I only have enough achievement points…….’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could raise the level cap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, there was a fixed value of ’50’, so he didn’t have to pray like when drinking a potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This is an incredible effect.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levels didn’t just come with the effect of a stat increase of 4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were interconnected with many factors such as equipment and skill books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since he was a Necromancer, the level cap of his summons would also be increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘The limit has been raised much higher.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far beyond what he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the important thing was how to earn achievement points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kim Minwoo thought back to the message he had seen earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– You hunted down one of the supporting villains, ‘Lee Seoyoon’!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– The story begins to undergo some changes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Supporting character, huh.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw that, he didn’t think that simply defeating a villain would necessarily award achievement points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to defeat villains who held some weight in the story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunting main and supporting villains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be the first way to get points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘But it’s going to be tough to hunt them right now.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew of many villains in this game that could be considered main or supporting characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However…….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem was that it was difficult to hunt them easily unless he had a coincidence like today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all high level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for a few, their spawn locations were random.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t catch them right now, unless he raised his level much higher than now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Another way to get points is…… to change the story.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A supporting villain died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The story changed and he got points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There must be other ways to earn points besides just killing enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What if I influence an important character?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main characters of this game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the protagonists that players could control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Park Siwoo, Han Siah, Namgoong Min, and Seo Yerim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, they wouldn’t all appear together on one stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he started the 6th stage, he remembered the message:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[All main characters in the game will gather in one world!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main characters existed in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Seo Yerim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If I influence them…….’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might be able to earn points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he didn’t get points from Seo Yerim was likely because he didn’t bring about a ‘significant’ change in her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only made some witty remarks and tricked her with swordsmanship; it wasn’t a decisive change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, although Lee Seoyoon was a supporting character, her death completely erased the existing story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even though she was a supporting character, her death must have had a significant impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of the four, the character with the easiest difficulty level to influence was Park Siwoo, who had only one star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kim Minwoo went back to the time when he was underage, reversing the time period by a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘He must be at the orphanage by now.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanbit Orphanage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the name of the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘He must be unawakened there.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time when the player directly controlled Park Siwoo was a bit further into the future than now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would be awakened then, so he must be unawakened now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Park Siwoo’s awakening conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, there was the situation with the message about humanity’s potential being enhanced or something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I awaken him to something beyond S-rank…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already a swordsmanship genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If such a guy became SS or SSS-rank?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of how the story turned out, would he be able to recruit him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It would definitely have an impact.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that happened, he would be able to get much more points than he did from hunting Lee Seoyoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was easy to approach him, and it wouldn’t be too difficult to attempt the awakening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no reason not to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If I don’t get the points, then…….’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could just create a guild and lead them like puppets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he is a talented person, he would just explode if he was given the right equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There will come a day when he will be useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I should go and meet him once I get out.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before that, he had to get his equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looted Seoyoon’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assassin-class equipment came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being B-rank and a rookie, the quality of the equipment was decent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, due to job restrictions, he couldn’t use it, so he planned to sell it at the auction house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could probably get around 30 billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, jackpot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was able to get one very nice item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ring of the Shadow Tracker]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Rank: Unique]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Required Level: 51 or

10% on critical hits.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t this a luxury accessory?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An accessory with no job restrictions and a wearable level that was considerably lower than its performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of thing was impossible to get in a normal Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘She cleared a hidden quest.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an item that could only be obtained by finding hidden conditions, activating a hidden quest, and completing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s something you can’t buy with ordinary money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awakened people would just keep using it unless they were retiring, so why would they sell something like this during their growth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had probably been wearing it steadily even though she was high-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accessories were originally difficult to set up due to the lack of quantity, and the combination of assassin and critical damage increase was one of the indispensable combinations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the increase in all stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put Seoyoon’s body and equipment in the dimensional ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was time to conquer the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting Seoyoon allowed him to gain 10 levels without even thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Current level: 40.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just 11 more levels to reach 51.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next range where he could absorb the next potion and skill book.
