Chapter 351

Part 2, Episode 17.

[Connecting to God of Savior.]

[Welcome to Adventure’s Paradise. Have a pleasant adventure.]

-Owner, welcome back~

-Rizariza!

-Have you arrived, Master.

The next morning.

Dohyun chuckled at the sight of the Guardians greeting him energetically as soon as he logged in.

“You seem to be in a particularly good mood today?”

-Of course I’m happy! We’re finally going to the New Continent.

-Rizariza!

That’s right.

Today was finally the day to cross over to the New Continent.

The annoying level restriction that had been binding Dohyun was gone.

-I’m so curious about how other races live.

-Rizariza!

-Oh, that sounds interesting? They say the New Continent is vast with various races living there.

-Riza! Riza!

Eliza bounced around excitedly at Jihad’s agreement.

“What did she say?”

To think she was genuinely happy like a child.

Dohyun, curious despite himself, quietly approached and whispered, and Jihad also answered in a small whisper.

-She said that when we go to the New Continent, won’t there be friends of hers too? Besides that, there’ll be lots of fun things, and she’s been so curious every time she heard the Apostles talking about it.

“Really? Hmm… I suppose that’s possible.”

-Right? And actually, I’m curious too. Won’t there be others of my race?

Dohyun nodded.

Unlike the Main Continent where only humans lived as intelligent beings, the New Continent had various non-human races.

It boasted an incomparably larger size than the Main Continent, and with so much hidden there, it was said to be difficult to fully explore even a single island.

The message that appeared when first logging in, ‘Adventure’s Paradise,’ wasn’t referring to the New Continent for nothing.

‘Just Ellanis alone has three major races blessed by the World Tree, but they said there are even more in total.’

A place teeming with various hidden pieces and hidden races.

An unknown island where there was more land that Players hadn’t stepped on than land they had explored.

It wouldn’t be strange if there were races like Eliza or Jihad in such a place.

‘Thinking about it that way, I’m getting excited. If I’m lucky, Guardian Quests might open up.’

That’s not all.

Since fragments of fate were said to be in the New Continent, he would be able to progress the Main Quest that had been stalled.

-…Honestly, I’m looking forward to it too, Master.

“You too?”

At Charlie’s words as he carefully joined in while coughing and pretending not to be excited, Dohyun was surprised but soon nodded.

“Come to think of it, Charlie, you’ve never been to the New Continent either.”

-Yes. I heard there was a continent across the sea where other races lived, but… I didn’t have the luxury to care about it.

For Charlie, whose mission was to protect Arren Castle, such stories would have been no different from fairy tale content.

It would have been a fantasy he’d never experience in reality anyway.

Dohyun was equally excited.

The Main Quest, new environments, and non-human races were all exciting, but what he looked forward to most was this.

[You have reached the maximum level and will no longer receive additional status points.]

[You have reached the maximum level and new content has been unlocked.]

[You have overcome all trials of the Main Continent and can cross the sea.]

[The Transcendence System has been unlocked.]

[The Title System has been unlocked.]

…

[You have reached the maximum level and gained one additional skill slot.]

Numerous new systems unlocked by reaching max level.

[A realm that transcends the limits of a completed vessel.]

[For your first transcendence, seek out the Grand Sage of Ellanis, the Fairy King’s Island.]

Among them, transcendence.

‘Now it finally feels similar.’

Although Dohyun had overwhelming power compared to his level until now, he was still a rookie who hadn’t even reached max level.

No matter how much he struggled, he was bound to fall behind in specs.

But from now on, it would be different.

‘The first transcendence is trait transcendence.’

Since traits were very important in this game, the presence or absence of trait transcendence was an element felt more significantly than other transcendences.

‘I don’t know if all these traits can be transcended or if I have to choose just one… but I’ll find out soon.’

Dohyun grinned and this time opened his skill window.

There was a newly empty slot that hadn’t been there before.

It was the skill slot gained by reaching max level.

‘Hmm… this would be good.’

After pondering for a moment, Dohyun moved his finger and a message appeared.

[You have equipped the Hero Skill ‘Fuse – Thread’.]

[You currently have 14 skills equipped.]

“Wow, it’s just one more but it feels different.”

He had deliberated a lot between Striking, which he had unequipped when equipping Acceleration, and Fuse, but he judged that Fuse was superior in terms of creating variables.

Striking didn’t feel very impactful right now either.

Anyway, with this, the preparations were complete.

“Shall we go now?”

-Roger!

-Yes, Master!

-Rizariza!

Hearing the Guardians’ excitement-filled responses, Dohyun turned his steps.

* * *

Movement within the Main Continent is extremely simple.

No matter how many kilometers apart the distance is, you can move there in just 1 second with a single warp.

An element that exists for convenience because it’s a game.

However, that convenience was only provided within the Main Continent.

‘From the New Continent onward, it’s pointlessly realistic.’

Perhaps because of the setting that human civilization hadn’t reached there, most places in the New Continent had extremely few or no warps.

Even Ellanis was the same despite having fairies there.

Well, since they don’t leave their territory, it’s natural that there would be no need for warps when you think about it.

The problem is that it’s very inconvenient for Players.

Anyway, given such circumstances within the New Continent, there’s no way you could just pop! and move from the Main Continent to the New Continent in one go.

Squawk- Squawk squawk-

-…Owner. Didn’t we say we were going to the New Continent?

-Rizariza…

-Mmm…

So this was where they arrived.

Rudia Port, the only dock in the Empire where ships to the New Continent departed.

-Do we have to go this way?

“Well, to cross the sea we have to take a ship, are we going to swim there?”

-No, I’m asking if there isn’t a faster method… I guess there isn’t… Sigh…

-Rizaaa….

-Hmm.

Those who didn’t know such detailed circumstances just looked disappointed.

Even Charlie, unlike usual, wasn’t taking Dohyun’s side and was letting out regretful sighs.

Charlie’s disappointed childlike expression was quite different from his usual stern demeanor.

‘It’ll take two days, so I wonder what they’re thinking acting like this already.’

Every time a World Quest opened, there was a reason why those called big shots in Godose were always late.

Even the closest Ellanis was like this, so what about other places?

Just thinking about it was bothersome.

‘Demroc is holed up in the third New Continent, wasn’t he?’

Even if he were Demroc, he probably wouldn’t show his face in the Empire either.

It’s not like training a mutt – what’s the point of going when it’ll be over by the time you arrive?

[The ship to Ellanis is at dock number 3.]

[It departs in 10 minutes, so please prepare.]

It wasn’t even just boarding whenever – you had to board at a set time, so there was nothing more to say.

’10 minutes… let’s just board early.’

There wouldn’t be anything to do nearby for 10 minutes anyway.

He was heading to dock number 3 with the thought of securing a seat in advance.

Just as he almost reached the dock.

Swoosh-

A man walked out from behind a ship at dock number 2 right next to him.

No, it wasn’t just one person.

Thud, thud.

Thud.

People continuously emerged following behind him.

As if that was the trigger, people began appearing from behind ships at the opposite dock and surrounding vessels.

‘What is this…’

He was dazed for a moment by the incomprehensible situation.

The moment he thought the people’s faces looked strangely familiar.

With heavy footsteps, a middle-aged man finally revealed himself.

“How disappointing.”

“Huh?”

The moment their eyes met, Dohyun unconsciously let out an exclamation.

It was a face he knew well.

“If you leave without a word like this, wouldn’t our Empire become a shameless country that doesn’t know gratitude?”

“…Your Majesty the Emperor?”

The middle-aged man’s identity was none other than the Emperor of the Arniss Empire, Baharun de Arnis.

He wasn’t the only familiar face.

“We came too, Hero.”

“Tsk, what’s so urgent that you won’t give us a chance to say goodbye? I was hoping to have at least one last duel.”

1st Prince Rior de Arnis, whose sharp atmosphere had greatly diminished, and Sword Master Gaeffield Dreu with his usual displeased expression.

“We came too!”

“You’re leaving for the New Continent? It reminded me of when you visited our shop last time, so I wanted to show a small token of appreciation…”

“You might get hungry during the journey, so we brought some food.”

“If you leave without a word like this, what are we supposed to do!”

And even the residents he had exchanged greetings with while coming and going.

Among them were familiar faces and unfamiliar ones too.

It was a completely unexpected situation that left Dohyun’s mind blank as he stared blankly, when cheers came from behind.

“Waaaaaaah!!”

“Hero!”

“Have a safe journey! We will always support Lord Kaiser!”

“Please visit the Empire often! My child really likes Lord Kaiser!”

“Only the child likes him? You should see how much my wife likes him…”

Not only was the street outside the dock surrounded by crowds.

But residents of the Empire were poking their heads out from building windows.

Surely when he came just a while ago, no one seemed to pay attention to him.

This seemed like it was deliberately planned.

“How did everyone know I was here…”

“Why wouldn’t we know? Wherever you go in the Empire, it’s all talk about you.”

“Ah…”

“Haha, we did get some help.”

“I never imagined it. I didn’t know so many people would come to see me off.”

Especially not as a surprise event like this.

But at Dohyun’s words, Rior made a meaningful expression.

“I didn’t say it was just them, did I?”

“Pardon?”

And at that moment.

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud.

Black figures that suddenly fell from the sky in droves stood in formation around them.

A group of over 100 people all armed with black robes and masks.

As far as Dohyun knew, there was only one such group in Godose.

“O God.”

“We have come.”

“Ah… O God of All Gods.”

The Kashin Church.

Their news was fast too – they who now called him God of All Gods beyond just Kashin all knelt on one knee and bowed their heads in unison.

“Waaaaaaah!!”

“So cool!”

“Kaiser! Kaiser! Kaiser! Kaiser!”

People became even more enthusiastic.

-Kekeke, oh my, this is really. Doesn’t it feel too good?

-Riza! Rizariza!

-This is the achievement that Master has built up.

Behind the two who were simply delighted.

Charlie spoke to Dohyun, who was dazed by the strange feeling, with a pleased expression.

-There will only be blessings on Master’s path ahead. This Charlie guarantees it.

“…”

Over a hundred people kneeling, hundreds of people seeing him off, and thousands, tens of thousands of people blessing his path ahead.

How should he put it.

That scene… was an indescribable spectacle.
