Boundless Necromancer

204. Dystopia (1)

After seeing the system message, I closed my eyes for a moment, and when I opened them, the scenery changed.

white space.

My body was floating in a place that reminded me of pure white drawing paper.

Before I knew it, I felt that all the items, such as the twin swords in my hand and the mask worn on my face, had disappeared.

‘what?’

I felt a sense of alienation to him.

It was worth it.

‘They say they’re returning to Earth, but I don’t know what this is again…’

Listening to the cry of the god of despair, fall, and madness, I saw the phrase “return to Earth.”

So I thought I would be able to return to the tower without having to deal with that crazy godhead…

「Confirmed clearing the final layer of the labyrinth.」

「Deleting the data in the labyrinth and loading the challenger data in the tower… .」

Could it be that there was still a process to go through?

「Loading failed.」

「Loading and overwriting failed due to labyrinth privilege ‘Absolute Preservation (SSS+)’.」

「By labyrinth privilege ‘Absolute Preservation (SSS+)’, all abilities obtained in the labyrinth are transferred to the existing challenger data. We integrate.”

An unexpected situation has occurred.

‘I couldn’t believe it, but all the abilities obtained in the labyrinth disappeared.’

Perhaps all of my abilities didn’t seem to disappear because the ‘absolute preservation’ I had purchased as a perk in the labyrinth was activated.

Because of that, I’m trying to add the abilities I got in the labyrinth to my existing information, which I had no choice but to overwrite.

To be honest, it’s like a system error caused by the Labyrinth perk ‘Absolute Preservation’.

‘It’s a benefit.’

Considering the stats, skills, and powers he had obtained in the labyrinth, it was a huge advantage.

“It takes some time to integrate abilities.”

Of course, it was said that it would take time to see if the system could not integrate abilities right away.

It didn’t bother me too much.

However, it seems difficult to combine the information in the labyrinth with the information in the tower in such a short time.

It seemed like it would be okay to look at the newly created mythology until all abilities were integrated.

‘I said it was the possibility of transcendence.’

It was a myth obtained by surviving despair, falling, and a god of madness… so it

was natural to expect it.

From the name of the myth, the word transcendence is also included, so wouldn’t it be a myth dedicated to growth?

In response, I drew an arc at the corner of my mouth and read the system message log piled up in the corner of my field of vision.

And…

“The myth < possibility of transcendence > is completed.”

“The myth < possibility of transcendence > accumulates in divine power.”

I was intensely interested in the effects that followed. 「From now on, when

challenger Han Sung-yoon activates the myth, the effect of < causal reversal > is applied.

」

You will have a ‘victorious destiny’ by the causality rate.”

「However, despite using the causal rate of always winning, if you lose to your opponent, you will face a headwind of the causal rate.

」 When the < divine rise > effect is applied.」

「Each time you win against a divine power, the level of divinity of challenger Han Seong-yoon increases.」

「Each time you repeat victory, ascension gets closer.

」 When this rises, special rewards are sometimes given.」

‘It’s amazing.’

It’s different from what I thought, but this was surprising as it is.

< causal reversal > and < divine ascension >.

These effects attached to the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > were not so easy to understand.

Among them, < Cause and Reversal > had a difficult explanation from beginning to end.

‘Creating a causal rate that guarantees victory against an unwinnable enemy?’

I had a hard time understanding what the hell this meant.

It’s probably like < Reversal Hero > or < Contempt for the Strong >, a buff against opponents

.

There is even an unknown penalty called ‘causality’s headwind’ in case of defeat, even to the subject of the opponent’s buff.

Considering that there has never been a myth with a penalty, it was unusual.

‘If you think about it the other way around, wouldn’t this be a powerful enough force to be penalized?’

I am very curious about what the ‘causal rate that must win’ written in the explanation is.

Anyway, this is something you won’t know unless you encounter an enemy so powerful that you can’t defeat it.

First of all, I understood it to be that I got a very good buff ability.

< Divinity Ascension > is a simple effect that increases the level of divinity whenever you win against a godhead.

Even this, I was concerned because of the words written under it, ‘Each time you repeat victory, your ascension gets closer.’

What is the concept of ascension?

I thought about it for a while, but the conclusion I came to was no different from the previous one.

Right away…

‘Anyway, if you try to write < Reversal of Causal > or < Divine Rise >, you will know for sure.’

If you use it in real combat, you will be able to find out its true identity.

Therefore, I soon stopped thinking about mythology.

And just in time, a system message popped up as if the work was over.

「Integrated settings complete.」

「Applied all the abilities acquired in the labyrinth to challenger Han Seong-yoon’s data.」

「However, [HP] and [MP] concepts are not applied because they are functions exclusive to the giant tree labyrinth.

『Skill – Take a Closer Look』

Now, he’s really at a level where he’s not like a human being.

‘All stats exceeded 200.’

In fact, it was a crazy body that could knock down several buildings with a light punch.

‘Wouldn’t it be possible to easily destroy a city at this point without using magic?’

Considering that he had struggled against enemies like Changchun Sword Dragon, Namgunghyuk, it was an amazing growth.

And besides stats, the number of main skills such as powers and skills also increased and became stronger.

‘I can definitely feel that I’ve grown up.’

After checking the status window like that, a new system message came to mind.

「Complete unification of the challenger data has been achieved.」

「Now, the challenger Han Seong-yoon returns to the Earth dimension from a random space.」

Now it was time to really go back.

***

In the blink of an eye, the space changes again.

“I have returned to the earth dimension.”

“All equipment has been transferred to the inventory.” “

After returning to the tower, you can retrieve all equipment from the inventory.”

Before I knew it, I arrived at the place I was staying on Earth before entering the giant tree labyrinth. did.

But that was only for a moment.

“Time is over.”

“Return to the Tower of Trials.”

The message of returning to the Tower came to mind, and the space changed completely.

‘ah.’

Come to think of it, while I was in the labyrinth, I had forgotten that the duration of the Hearthstone had also expired.

‘I never thought I’d go back to the tower as soon as I returned to Earth.’

At least I wanted to talk with my teammates in various ways and go back, but it turned out to be a pity.

Catherine Bennett was even more so because she was also suffering from a fever.

I wanted to pay a visit to the hospital.

“I entered the waiting room on the 18th floor.”

However, I went straight to the waiting room, putting those thoughts to shame.

A place that now feels like home.

At that, I sighed heavily.

“I can’t help it…”

I neatly gave up on the idea of going to Earth.

I came back to the tower like this, but I didn’t want to go back to Earth.

This is not because I want to reduce the points that will be consumed in the process of purchasing a hearthstone.

To be honest, I can buy hearthstones any number of times now.

It’s just that after using the Hearthstone, you must stay on Earth for that period.

I didn’t want to waste my time staying a few more days on Earth.

He would be like that too…

‘I knew there were so many strong enemies, but I can’t stay still.’

Through the giant tree labyrinth event, I realized that tremendously strong people exist.

There were still overflowing people with extraordinary powers, as if I was nothing.

Such were the gods of despair, fall, and madness seen in the final layer of the labyrinth.

‘Did you say you were the first candidate selected by the tower? It was definitely more powerful than an ancient deity.’

The existence, which did not even look like a human anymore, was a monster that even the ancient gods could not deal with.

If what was there was the body rather than the incarnated body, I would have surely died instantly.

without any resistance.

I hated that.

To the god of despair, fall, and madness, I am nothing, and I would not have been able to survive without the tower protecting me.

That fact pushed me to the point that I needed to become stronger.

So, I had no intention of stopping.

‘Let’s climb the tower as quickly as possible.’

I immediately put the top-specific command into my mouth.

“Inventory.”

After exiting the giant tree labyrinth, all equipment was transferred to the tower’s inventory…

For now, there was a need to equip the items in the inventory again.

but.

“This is…”

Then I saw an item in my inventory and put off putting on the equipment for a while.

It was the ‘regressor’s worn-out wristwatch’.

It was a reward obtained by clearing the final layer of the labyrinth.

Out of curiosity, he immediately pulled out the ‘returner’s worn-out wristwatch’ from the inventory.

The black wristwatch, which gives off an antique feel, is engraved with geometric silver patterns.

And…

「Worn-out wristwatch of a returner」

「Rating: SSS+」

「Worn-out wristwatch used by a regressor chosen by the god of time.

」 It is possible to reverse.」

「When challenger Han Seong-yoon uses it, the exclusive effect ‘Attack Nullification’ can be activated.」 「

※ Randomly designates a specific attack that exists within 50m and returns it to its ‘pre-attack state’.」

「※After using the exclusive effect ‘Attack Nullification’, a cooldown of ’30 minutes’ is created.」「

Challenger Han Seong-yoon can activate the exclusive effect ‘Return to Death’ when using it.」「

※If life is lost, 10 The entire world’s time goes back to minutes ago.」

「※ After using the exclusive effect ‘return to death’, a

cooldown of ’30 days’ is created.」 I kept my mouth shut.

“….”

‘attack nullification’ and ‘death return’.

By specifying a specific attack, the target is returned to its ‘pre-actuation state’.

When life is lost and death is reached, the entire world returns to ’10 minutes ago’.

I was dumbfounded when I saw an item with nonsensical exclusive effects engraved on it.

“Have you seen this crazy item…”

Really…

It was an item that I thought I would be using for a very long time.
