Chapter 24



[Iris recognition in progress.]

[ID card verification in progress.]

[ID card verified.]

[Synchronization complete.]

[Would you like to log into God of Savior?]

“Yes. Quickly.”

Kang Do-hyeon, staring at the message that popped up as usual, looked urgent to anyone watching.

And for a good reason.

‘I need to check quickly.’

He could finally resolve the concern that had been troubling him all day yesterday.

He wanted to check the skill as soon as possible.

Whether the system knew Do-hyeon’s feelings or not, it responded leisurely, speaking in a soft tone.

[Welcome to Paradise of Adventure.]

[Enjoy your journey.]

With that, his vision flickered, and when the scenery unfolded, Do-hyeon clenched his fist.

The backdrop wasn’t the beautiful city, as he had left Kalde’s house to roll for skills, but the back alley didn’t bother him at all.

“Skill window.”

The only thing on his mind was confirming the skill.

Ding–.

[You have unconfirmed skills.]

[Would you like to check them?]

It seemed even the system was on the same page as him for once, eager to check the skills.

Without hesitation, he accepted, and the skill window appeared.

As soon as he saw the color, his eyes widened, and he froze in shock.

“Ah…”

The answer to the dilemma that had kept him awake all night wasn’t gold but yellow.

‘No wonder the color seemed a bit faint…’

Well, objectively speaking, yellow was still great.

It was a Hero-grade skill, after all.

In his days as DemRock, Do-hyeon’s highest skill grade was Hero, and now he had one this early in the game.

How could he not be pleased?

However…

‘I thought I might get a Legendary for once.’

It was like when one number was missing from hitting the lottery jackpot. You wait a whole day, hoping for first place, only to end up with second.

And what if that one number seemed to match the first-place memory you had?

The disappointment came from the hope he had briefly held of possibly obtaining his first Legendary-grade skill.

Still, his mental recovery was quick.

‘I’ve been too greedy lately.’

When had his luck ever been so good?

Recently, everything had been going his way so easily that he’d grown complacent.

The odds of getting a Legendary skill, which was notoriously difficult, on his first try were impossible.

How high could the chances of finding a Legendary within just ten draws be?

Most people don’t even get a rare-grade skill from their first random draw. To get a Hero-grade one was incredibly fortunate.

No, it wasn’t just fortunate—he should be bowing down in thanks.

‘Yeah, a Hero-grade skill is more than enough for my current level.’

Once he calmed down, he grew curious about what he had received.

Wasn’t this his first Hero-grade skill in God of Savior?

[Skills Owned]

-Rushing Slash

-Backstab

‘Huh? Backstab?’

Do-hyeon hesitated as he checked the skill list.

If his memory was correct, this skill was…

His thoughts racing, Do-hyeon quickly pulled up the skill’s information.

[Backstab]

-Grade: Hero

-Requirement: Assassin class

-Description: Assassination hinges on how well one can seize their target’s back.

Confuse the enemy by catching them from behind and deliver stronger damage.

-Effect: Move behind a target within a certain range.

At this moment, the target is marked for a set duration, during which you can use the skill again.

If used again, you will move behind the target once more and deal a critical strike based on the accumulated damage dealt to the target.

-Cooldown: 50 seconds

‘Just as I thought…!’

After checking the skill, Do-hyeon clenched his fist in excitement.

Backstab.

A signature Assassin skill that made ranged dealers despise Assassins.

No matter how much distance they put between them, an Assassin could chase them twice with a single skill and even play mind games.

It was an absurdly overpowered skill.

If a dealer tried to face off with the Assassin and got caught in a combo, they would be hit by an amplified critical strike.

Even if they ran, the Assassin would relentlessly chase after them, leaving dealers no choice but to hate Assassins.

It made sense, considering Assassins were designed to specialize in one-on-one combat, with a skill set designed to infuriate.

Even Do-hyeon had found Assassins to be a nuisance, like annoying flies.

‘But now that’s my skill?’

In DemRock, there had been a common saying about Backstab.

If a non-Assassin melee class had Backstab, it would be an unparalleled, broken skill.

Assassins were beasts in PvP but terrible in raids, hence the saying.

For that reason, when Do-hyeon had first checked the Adventurer’s unique abilities, Backstab was one of the skill sets he had immediately thought of.

However, Backstab was not a common skill, even among Assassins. It was a rare skill with a high grade, difficult to acquire.

So, he hadn’t expected much. He thought it would be nice to get it someday, but that was about it.

‘And now I’ve got it this soon.’

With both Rushing Slash and Backstab in his arsenal, no ranged dealer would be able to breathe in front of Do-hyeon.

If he could acquire a few more skills, he would become an all-around top-tier dealer in both PvP and PvE.

Collecting and combining useful skills from various classes—

That was the true strength of the Adventurer.

‘Hah… I’m glad I got this class.’

He sincerely thought so.

If someone else had gotten such a class, people would have sent countless complaints about the game’s balance being broken.

And what? Was he disappointed because it wasn’t a Legendary skill?

‘I was arrogant, oh great Kashiar…’

As if he had never harbored such impudent thoughts, Do-hyeon chastised his former self for his arrogance.

If Kashiar had seen this, he might have clicked his tongue in disapproval, but Do-hyeon was simply happy.

After a brief moment of joyous reflection,

“Equip item.”

He equipped the Warrior Set he hadn’t worn before logging off.

Then, Do-hyeon opened the customization system.

This system displayed his character in a full-body mirror.

“Oh, not bad.”

The Do-hyeon reflected in the mirror looked quite different from before.

Though still leather material, the rare-grade armor seemed sturdier, with a crimson hue, as if soaked in blood, and the epaulets had a touch of black, serving as a striking accent.

His necklace was red, and the Goblin Belt leaned towards black, which aesthetically worked quite well.

Clink.

The finishing touch was the massive, crimson greatsword in both hands.

With his overall appearance dominated by red and black, wielding a sword as big as himself, he now looked far more intimidating.

At least no one would think he was a weakling anymore.

[Warrior Set applied.]

-3set: When facing Goblin-type enemies, applies “Intimidation” effect. Additional damage to Goblins +7%, all stats +2.

No one would dare see a graduate of Arde in the Warrior Set as weak.

And that wasn’t all.

[Equipped: Silver Ring crafted by Kalde.]

[Silver Ring crafted by Kalde]

-Grade: Rare

-Description: A silver ring handcrafted by Kalde. Though the materials are ordinary, the craftsmanship is exceptional, giving it high value.

-Level requirement: 12

-Equip restriction: None

-Physical Defense: 57

-Magic Resistance: 41

-Sensitivity +1

-Magic +2

-Mana recovery speed +6%

Though it was only 6%, the fact that it came with a mana recovery speed option was valuable.

It had stats like Sensitivity and Magic, which melee classes would typically be disappointed with, but Do-hyeon found it acceptable.

Sensitivity was always nice to have, and Magic might come in handy someday.

[Player: Kaiser]

[Level: 12]

[HP: 1,870 / 2,050]

[MP: 350 / 500]

[Stamina: 190 / 350]

[Class: Final Adventurer ]

[Titles (3)]

-Max Favorability From the Start?

-First Slayer

-Throne of Time Attack

[Stats]

Remaining Points: 0

‘Hmm. Very nice.’

Satisfied, Do-hyeon checked his now greatly enhanced status window and nodded.

With that, his business in Arde was over.

‘Now, let’s move on.’

All that was left was to head to the Main Continent.

As he stood in front of the warp portal, a message appeared.

[You have met the requirements.]

[Would you like to move to the Main Continent?]

[Once you move to the Main Continent, you cannot return to Arde.]

“Yes.”

[You will be transported to the first city of the Main Continent, Raven, shortly.]

[5…….]

As the warm light wrapped around him, a memory suddenly popped into Do-hyeon’s mind, causing him to pause.

‘Come to think of it, I didn’t even say goodbye yesterday and just left.’

It was only now that he remembered his final encounter with BestShield and the others, which he had forgotten about due to his preoccupation with his skill dilemma.

Maybe it was because it was his first party here, or perhaps because they had fought the boss together, but he felt a slight pang of guilt.

However, he quickly shrugged it off.

‘Well, if it’s meant to be, we’ll meet again.’

After all, Do-hyeon had always been a solo player.

Even his companions had started as chance encounters.

They had randomly formed a party, and it wasn’t as though they had stuck together from the very beginning.

It was just that their paths crossed so often that they naturally ended up staying together and eventually became comrades.

Looking back, it was amazing that such unique people had gathered together in the first place.

So, if fate brought him and BestShield together again, they would meet.

If not, it wasn’t meant to be.

With that thought, Do-hyeon quickly brushed away any lingering regrets.

Instead, what filled his mind was the adventure that lay ahead.

‘Let’s see how well this place is made.’

With that anticipation, Do-hyeon closed his eyes.

[2…….]

[1…….]

[Transferring to the Main Continent.]

When he opened his eyes, a whole new world unfolded before him.

Every player who graduates from Arde steps onto the Main Continent with high expectations.

Unlike the small, quaint Arde, the expansive world of Abtartel was waiting to welcome them.

How could they not be excited?

And this excitement was universal, regardless of nationality.

Korea, the United States, Russia, China, Japan, India, Australia…

No matter where they were from, players from all over the world gathered here, full of dreams and expectations.

Unlike Arde, where servers were divided by country, the Main Continent was where everyone came together to form parties.

That was the Main Continent, and its starting point was the city of Raven.

“Wow…! This is insane.”

“This is the class of the Main Continent?”

“It’s on a completely different level. Unreal. Wow, look at the size of this place.”

“There are so many foreigners here. It feels like I’m overseas or something.”

Every player who arrived in Raven couldn’t help but gape in pure astonishment.

The sheer scale was overwhelming, incomparable to Arde.

A vast, open sky and a colossal central fountain that looked like a waterfall pouring down from the heavens.

The advanced architecture and the sight of countless people moving about.

Clomp. Clomp. Clomp. Clomp.

“Clear the way!”

“The Raven Knights have returned from their mission!”

A group of knights, waving banners, rode through the bustling streets.

It was a scene straight out of a fantasy world.

“Hey, move it!”

“Catch that man!”

“What? Why are you after me?! I didn’t do anything!”

“What did you say? A scoundrel like you dared to harass a lady and attempt such vile acts?! Throw him in jail at once!”

Among the chaos, there were occasional scenes of criminals being apprehended by the city guards, which only added to the novelty.

At least in the cities, the Main Continent was strict about law and order, and it showed.

The players watching this chaotic city scene couldn’t help but marvel.

“This is God of Savior…”

“No wonder they say the real game starts on the Main Continent.”

After completing the tutorial and hunting in Arde, many players had begun to think they had a handle on God of Savior, but now they realized they had merely been in a small pond.

Do-hyeon was no exception.

‘Wow…’

He was speechless.

He had been expecting something grand, but this far exceeded his expectations.

He had thought highly of DemRock’s quality, but now he understood why the developers had been so confident.

-God of Savior will completely fill the void that virtual reality has left behind.

‘As much as I hate to admit it, they were right.’

Looking at this scenery, who could deny it wasn’t virtual reality?

Who could not be satisfied with this?

God of Savior wasn’t just a metaphor—it was truly another world.

A world where players had been invited.

What snapped Do-hyeon out of his daze were the shouts of the NPCs.

“Hey, sir! Try Raven’s famous Ashen Ale! It’ll go perfectly with that red outfit of yours!”

“Oh no, you shouldn’t be drinking this early in the day! Come to my shop instead, and I’ll give you a great deal!”

“Who eats red lobster on a date? A real man eats hot Gina Pig Soup!”

“Forget that! Shopping is the way to go~! We’ve got lots of new arrivals, so come check them out, handsome!”

The vendors, catching the scent of a clueless newcomer in Do-hyeon, shouted over each other, trying to lure him to their shops.

They knew that many of the new arrivals in Raven would forget about hunting and get lost in sightseeing.

‘Now I see why everyone gets so captivated.’

People spend hundreds of dollars and fly for 10 hours just to experience new places on overseas trips.

But here, a whole new landscape unfolds just by logging into a capsule.

Who wouldn’t want to explore?

As curious as Do-hyeon was, though…

‘I can do all that later.’

There was something else that interested him more right now.

‘I need to test my skills.’

Like most players who arrived in Raven after using only basic skills, Do-hyeon was eager to try out the two new skills he had obtained.

And the items he had just acquired.

[Entering the Main Continent has unlocked systems that were previously locked.]

[The beginner benefits have ended, and you can now access various features such as the arena, duels, and workshops.]

[The first city, Raven, marks the beginning. Enjoy your adventures in the vast world of the Main Continent.]

[Tip: If you’re the victim of a crime in Raven, don’t hesitate to report it to the guards!]

Do-hyeon turned away from the cheerful messages welcoming him to the Main Continent.

He had to head to the hunting grounds as quickly as possible.

‘Let’s get going.’

Just as he stretched his hands and started heading out of the city, he stopped.

‘…I should at least pick up a quest.’

As much as he was eager to hunt, quests were essential.

It would be foolish not to collect free experience points.

Using a guidebook, Do-hyeon carefully picked up some appropriate quests before finally heading out of the city.
