All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 069

 

Heaven-Destroying Avalanche Fist.

 

The moment that technique, worthy of being called the end for the Attack Faction players gathered in the Demon King’s Castle, came crashing down.

 

Their defeat was already decided.

 

Of course, those who barely escaped the influence of the Heaven-Destroying Avalanche Fist or had solid defenses managed to barely preserve their lives—

 

“From now on, kill each other.”

 

“Kuk! Damn it, the alliance ends here!”

 

“You crazy bastard!”

 

“If we want to receive even slightly less penalty, this is the only way!”

 

“Kill! Kill them alllllll!!!”

 

Having become tattered rags, they chose to attack the injured comrades right next to them rather than attacking the still-healthy Shin Hyeok.

 

No, those who had now become former comrades.

 

Honestly speaking, they had no chance of victory.

 

So rather than attacking the impossible Shin Hyeok and being the first to perish, it was better to devour other easy prey nearby and stand atop their corpses.

 

Of course, even then it was still a shithole, but humans were originally animals that created hierarchies and discrimination even within rock bottom.

 

“Haha, I, I won—”

 

“Yeah, well done. Now die.”

 

“…Kuk!”

 

Without even listening to the last surviving player’s joy, Shin Hyeok shot out his Arcane Spear and pierced through his chest in one blow, causing message windows to flood before his eyes.

 

[Impossible Achievement accomplished!]

 

[Game: Demon King Subjugation is a game where the Demon King’s side has never succeeded even once.]

 

[This is a 0% achievement rate that has never existed across all dimensions.]

 

[The reward transcends the maximum value!]

 

[The karma of Constellations who bet on your defeat melts into the reward.]

 

[Constellations who bet on your success bestow grace upon your reward.]

 

[The reward transcends transcendence!]

 

[…Error! Settlement delayed due to too many rewards.]

 

“…Wow. Achieving an Achievement with 0% achievement rate. This reward should be worth looking forward to.”

 

The reward hadn’t even been properly determined yet, but there are things you can know without seeing.

 

Shin Hyeok was certain that the moment the delayed settlement was completed.

 

An overwhelming reward unlike anything he’d seen before would come to him.

 

“Is your body alright?”

 

“Kuhu, do I look alright?”

 

“I asked out of courtesy. Eat this.”

 

“…This again. Honestly, I’m not in a position to complain, but it tastes terrible.”

 

“I know. But the effect is good.”

 

“Can’t deny that. I’ll just eat it.”

 

Gulp!

 

While he was away, Tarkan had single-handedly defended the Demon King’s Castle and was now frowning as he downed Baek Hyo-rin’s special recovery potion.

 

“I was able to preserve a warrior’s honor. A warrior’s honor is originally protected and completed in battle with the strong. Death from a combined attack by weaklings is as shameful as death on a sickbed.”

 

“I’m not a warrior so I don’t really know. But I’m glad. It’s hard to resummon a retainer if they die.”

 

“I am expensive.”

 

Retainers were a very good power that allowed you to use powerful players as subordinates you could summon anytime, but conversely, there were big penalties when they died.

 

Not only permanent stat reduction, but to resummon them, you had to use special items that could nullify death.

 

These weren’t sold often even in the Achievement shop, and even if they were sold, they were quite valuable, so Shin Hyeok had to conserve them as much as possible.

 

While chatting and shooting the breeze with Tarkan like this.

 

[Settlement completed.]

 

“Oh, settlement’s done.”

 

“I’m looking forward to it. Achieving an Achievement with 0% achievement rate. Everyone knows without saying how amazing that reward will be.”

 

The settlement was finished.

 

It was a delay that lasted about ten minutes, but Shin Hyeok could have waited not just hours but days.

 

[First, we’ll provide the Integrated Gold League MVP reward.]

 

[Reward: Legendary Weapon Selection Ticket acquired.]

 

[Reward: Legendary Material Selection Ticket X 3 acquired.]

 

“This is bland.”

 

“…To call a legendary weapon selection ticket and three legendary material selection tickets bland. Your threshold for stimulation is completely broken.”

 

“Tarkan. If you receive rewards like me, even this much will feel bland.”

 

“I’ve never had such experiences in the past, and I won’t in the future, so I have no way to feel it.”

 

“Well, there’s no one besides me.”

 

“…Don’t you often hear that you’re unlucky?”

 

At the AI-like question that hit the core, Shin Hyeok didn’t answer and collected his rewards.

 

It was certainly better rewards than during the Integrated Silver League, but since the rewards Shin Hyeok had received in the meantime were so tremendous, he wasn’t particularly excited or happy.

 

However, he couldn’t stop his anticipation from rising.

 

And the system’s following message didn’t betray Shin Hyeok.

 

[This is the Impossible Achievement accomplishment reward list.]

 

[1. Legendary Grade Trait Creation Ticket]

 

[2. S-Grade Skill Selection Ticket]

 

[3. Legendary Grade Body Gacha Ticket]

 

[4. Legendary Grade Elixir Selection Ticket]

 

[5. Mythical Grade Material Gacha Ticket]

 

[You can select 2 from the above list.]

 

“…Insane.”

 

“…Is this, is this really a reward list given to one person?”

 

“I have to choose 2 out of 5, but… even this much is no joke.”

 

“Hehe, unbelievable.”

 

Five options.

 

The reward list was so splendid that having to choose only 2 of them was maddeningly regrettable.

 

“The trait creation ticket is a reward I’ve never heard of in my life. Do you know anything about it?”

 

“I’ve never heard of it either. I only know that traits are either bestowed by Constellations or something you’re born with.”

 

“Me too. I definitely have to choose this.”

 

“Then the rest is the problem.”

 

The trait creation ticket that grants the authority to create traits.

 

Having decided he absolutely had to choose this, Shin Hyeok carefully looked over the remaining rewards.

 

“S-grade skill… This is good too, but…”

 

“What are you pondering? Aren’t you handling multiple skills simultaneously? If you gain a new S-grade skill, the things you can do will definitely increase, right? Are you worried it might be hard to handle properly?”

 

“That’s not the reason. It’s actually the opposite. I have a way to drastically increase the grade of the skills I possess. Furthermore, I have a way to accelerate their growth too. In other words, this is just receiving my future potential in advance.”

 

“Hmm, is that how it is. Well, adding an S-grade skill to your current self wouldn’t make a big difference anyway. Even without it, you’d have no trouble conquering Platinum and even Diamond.”

 

“Right. Let’s exclude this one.”

 

The second reward, S-grade skill selection ticket.

 

It was certainly a good reward, but it was ambiguous for Shin Hyeok.

 

Because with this Integrated Gold League victory, Shin Hyeok would be promoted to Platinum.

 

Then the trait: Late Bloomer would be unlocked, and his traits would grow significantly.

 

With the trait: Jack of All Trades added to that, raising the traits that had grown to B-grade and A-grade to S-grade wouldn’t be too difficult.

 

No, it would be difficult.

 

In reality, even Shin Hyeok took a very long time to obtain S-grade skills called Challenger-level traits.

 

But Shin Hyeok boldly excluded it.

 

“Legendary grade body… I do know a few of those.”

 

“We also have some documented in literature that we know about.”

 

“What are the effects?”

 

“What’s the point of saying? You know well too. From legendary grade bodies onward, they’re truly worthy of being called legendary. They’re powers that let you reach the pinnacle in one particular aspect. Whether early, mid, or late game, those with legendary grade bodies were either close to the strongest or the strongest themselves.”

 

“You’re thinking exactly the same as me.”

 

Next, he looked at the legendary-grade body draw ticket.

 

Both Tarkan and Shin Hyeok couldn’t say they knew much about legendary-grade bodies, but they knew one thing for certain.

 

Those who possessed legendary-grade bodies had reached the pinnacle in terms of physical talent.

 

The power that legendary-grade bodies possessed was that tremendous.

 

But there was a problem.

 

“The fact that it’s a draw ticket is concerning.”

 

“Hmm, certainly… You’re already a complete warrior and martial artist. You already know better than anyone the direction you need to go, and you’ve laid all the groundwork for it. But a legendary-grade body might actually disrupt that.”

 

“Right. Especially since I’ve heard that many legendary-grade bodies have penalties as powerful as they are. Considering that aspect, the draw ticket is a bit problematic.”

 

“I agree. Such items are only suitable for those who haven’t established their foundation as players yet or have no foundation at all. For someone already entering the path of completion, it would be an unnecessary item.”

 

“Good, let’s pass on it.”

 

A draw, not a selection.

 

In other words, it was random.

 

Therefore, unlike the other bodies Shin Hyeok had obtained so far, this one had a high possibility of not supporting Shin Hyeok or harmonizing with his existing abilities.

 

No matter how good a weapon might be, if it doesn’t fit in your hand, it’s worse than having nothing.

 

If even a mere weapon was like that, there was no need to mention bodies.

 

Especially since weapons could be changed, but bodies were much harder to replace.

 

“A legendary-grade elixir selection ticket? This one’s really good.”

 

“Hmm, it certainly is.”

 

“Especially the selection part is nice. With this, I won’t get an elixir that conflicts with me.”

 

“So you’re thinking of choosing this?”

 

“It’s not bad, not bad at all… but it’s not really necessary.”

 

“Why? Such items can’t be easily obtained-”

 

“My daughter can make legendary-grade elixirs if given time.”

 

“…What?”

 

“Of course, it would take a long time, require many materials, and even if she made one, its ability would be clearly inferior to an elixir obtained as a reward… but still, a legendary-grade elixir is a legendary-grade elixir. Most importantly, once she succeeds in making one, she could make them periodically, so we could catch up to the effect through quantity.”

 

“…Just what kind of monsters are crawling around in your dimension?”

 

“Well, for having such things, our dimension is lower among the lower. It would be the lowest-tier dimension.”

 

Because of Hyo-rin, who could craft legendary-grade elixirs, the legendary-grade elixir selection ticket didn’t seem very appealing to Shin Hyeok.

 

Of course, it was still a future that hadn’t come yet, but since he had already seen that future before his regression, Shin Hyeok could give up the legendary-grade elixir selection ticket without hesitation.

 

Separate from Tarkan’s disbelief, it was also absurd that this dimension would receive Iron as its placement and remain stuck in Bronze even as time passed, making it the lowest-tier dimension.

 

Anyway, with the legendary-grade elixir selection ticket abandoned, only one thing remained for Shin Hyeok.

 

“Mythic-grade material draw ticket. This is it, after all.”

 

“Hmm, mythic… If it’s mythic, it’s worth that much.”

 

“In lower dimensions, it would be designated as a treasure of that dimension, and even in higher dimensions, its value is never small. Especially since it’s not a finished product but materials, there’s no problem even if it’s drawn through a draw ticket.”

 

“Then it’s decided. The legendary-grade trait generation ticket and the mythic-grade material draw ticket?”

 

“Yeah. I’m going with these two.”

 

It was the mythic-grade material draw ticket.

 

As the only reward among them with the name ‘mythic’ attached, Shin Hyeok’s choice was natural in a way.

 

The moment Shin Hyeok selected his rewards.

 

[You have received your rewards.]

 

[You have obtained 1,000,000 Achievement points.]

 

[Congratulations! You have been placed in Platinum 5!]

 

“They give Achievement points too. I guess this was guaranteed so it wasn’t on the reward list.”

 

“One million. Huh, to give such a massive amount of points at once that most players couldn’t even get close to.”

 

“It’s for achieving an impossible Achievement. It actually seems a bit stingy. But it’s free, so I should be grateful.”

 

Another reward of 1 million Achievement points came in, and he was placed in Platinum 5.

 

And what that meant was simple.

 

[Sealed trait: Late Bloomer has been unlocked!]

 

It was the moment when Shin Hyeok’s overwhelming potential was unlocked.
