Chapter 46
Chapter 46
Before the Quest reward.
The rewards I obtained from defeating the Black Worm God were truly extraordinary.
First, the level.
[ Status Window ]
Name: Mir
Level: 150
Class: Omni Master
Strength: 384 Agility: 391
Vitality: 378 Intelligence: 379
Wisdom: 382
The moment I defeated the Black Worm God, combined with the Quest reward, I achieved level 150.
Level 150 in just one week since starting Second.
Even I had to admit the leveling speed was absurd.
Moreover, look at those stats.
Typically, an ordinary player reaching level 150 would earn 745 bonus points.
‘Combined, that’s 1,914 points?’
The total of all my stats was a staggering 1,914.
More than double—nearly triple the normal amount.
The Omni Master’s ability to raise all stats by 2 with each level, unable to allocate bonus points manually.
Combined with the elixir bonuses I’d consumed so far, this number was possible.
Of course, now that I’d reached 150, more elixirs became available for consumption.
Once I consumed those, I could raise my stats even further.
Certainly impressive numbers.
‘Yet something felt lacking.’
I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the results.
The reason was simple: while my total stat sum appeared high, individual stats weren’t particularly impressive.
‘Uncommon, but some players do invest all bonus points into a single stat.’
If someone invested all bonus points into Strength up to level 150?
That player’s Strength would reach 755.
Double my own Strength stat.
While such extreme cases were rare, most players typically distributed points evenly across two core stats.
A typical Swordmaster would allocate three points to Strength, two to Agility.
Even with that distribution, at level 150 they’d have Strength 457 and Agility 308.
Fighting like that, I’d be outmatched in raw Strength.
‘But that doesn’t mean I’d lose.’
Of course, this was only if we fought purely on Strength alone.
In actual combat, I wouldn’t fall behind.
I could leverage not just Strength, but swift movements from other stats, high Vitality, magical attacks, and various resistances.
Well, regardless.
‘So this is the greatest weakness of the All Master class.’
The inability to concentrate on a single stat was quite frustrating.
Well, I could cover that with my skills and spirit contracts, so it wasn’t insurmountable.
Right now, I needed to obtain the next reward.
“Luke, it’s feeding time.”
– I humbly accept this meal, Master.
I commanded Luke to feed—his form had shrunk dramatically from lending me his power.
Immediately, Luke expanded his mass and swallowed the Black Worm God’s corpse sprawled across the ground.
Crunch-crunch-crunch!
Whether from his massive size or his hardened carapace.
Luke’s feeding sounds were unusually loud and grotesque.
– Haah… a delicacy imbued with divinity.
– Indeed, my contract with you, Master, was the right choice.
Before long, the feeding was complete.
The Black Worm God’s enormous body was completely incinerated by black flames and absorbed into Luke.
Then a System Message appeared.
[ Luke has consumed the ‘Black Worm God’. ]
[ Luke’s stats have increased by 100. ]
The stat increase was incomparably greater than when he devoured other monsters.
This alone was more than satisfying.
But Luke offered me a proposal I’d never heard before.
– Master, my power is still humble, so I could not absorb all the nutrients from the prey.
– Though the efficiency is reduced, would you accept the power I could not absorb?
Accept the power he couldn’t absorb?
I didn’t fully understand what he meant, but it didn’t sound like a bad thing.
“Fine.”
The moment I nodded in agreement.
My body was engulfed in black flames.
Then, just as when I used Blackflame Transformation to borrow Luke’s power, I felt strength seeping into my body, and.
[ You accept the nutrients left behind by ‘Blackflame Dragon, Luke Nihr Desperato Ignoctun’. ]
[ Maximum Health increases. ]
[ Strength increases. ]
….
All my stats rose.
Stats naturally increased when using Blackflame Transformation, but this was different.
Because even after the black flames completely dissipated from my body moments later, the increased stats remained.
“This was possible?”
– It is not a method that can be used normally.
– The efficiency is far too poor compared to my absorption of nutrients, so it can only be used when overconsumption occurs like this.
The stat increases Luke absorbed apply only to Luke.
I could borrow that power temporarily, but I could never permanently raise my own stats the way I just did.
Yet Luke just raised my stats themselves.
Did that even make sense?
No—if he could do something like this…
“Back in First. No, in the old days, I never encountered anything like this?”
Why didn’t I encounter such monsters back in First?
Even then, I had devoured monsters as powerful as the Black Worm God.
No, I had consumed even stronger monsters than that.
To my question, Luke answered awkwardly.
– …You simply never commanded it, Master.
“And now?”
– …My apologies, Master. At that time, I had only recently formed a contract with you, so my loyalty was… lacking.
Loyalty.
Now that I thought about it, my relationship with Luke back in First had been purely transactional.
Back then, Luke was nothing more than an item storage and equipment that raised my stats.
That didn’t mean I was cold-hearted and ignored him.
In First, Luke’s artificial intelligence wasn’t as sophisticated as it is now—conversation was practically impossible.
Because of that, raising his loyalty was impossible.
But ever since entering Second, talking with him and sharing food together seemed to have raised his loyalty.
And thanks to that, Luke’s new ability had awakened.
“No, that makes sense. Anyway, thank you. I’m counting on you going forward.”
– The pleasure is mine, Master.
There was no reason to scold him.
If anything, I was grateful he used such an ability for me now.
This meant I had found a way to further raise my stats—the advantage and disadvantage of being an All Master.
– Also, there are fragments scraped from the prey. Please accept them.
Black flames erupted across my palm, and an item dropped by the Black Worm God materialized.
Not just any item, but one dropped by a calamity god’s remnant.
I couldn’t help but feel anticipation.
Having defeated the Black Worm God, I expected an item made of its distinctive carapace or venom, and I checked the item.
“A book?”
An item I never would have anticipated had dropped.
A single book.
That was all.
The Black Worm God I defeated in First had dropped a whip and bracelet that resembled the Black Worm God’s form.
Wondering why this was so different, I checked the Item Information.
[ Grimoire of Calamity – Black Insect Flash ]
( Non-Tradeable )
Type : Skill Book
Rarity: Mythic
Restriction: Those who have defeated the Black Worm God, All Master
Description: A piercing attack formed by materializing the movements of the Black Worm God.
“A skill book?”
This was no ordinary skill book.
A Mythic-grade skill book, no less.
Even though the Black Worm God had fallen to my hands twice already, it remained a true god.
There was nothing strange about a Mythic-grade skill book dropped by such a god, one created by mimicking the Black Worm God’s own movements.
“This is incredible.”
All the skills I currently used had been learned through skill books.
While skill books came in many varieties, not every skill could be learned from them.
Most skills learnable from skill books were ‘basic skills’.
Class-exclusive skills or top-tier skills didn’t exist as skill books at all.
That’s why I had planned to make do with skill books for now, then later seek out the relevant NPCs or complete special quests to acquire skills.
“A Mythic-grade skill book, though.”
I never expected such a thing to exist.
A Mythic-grade offensive skill would rival any class-exclusive ability.
– You have acquired the skill ‘Black Insect Flash Lv 1’ by using the ‘Tome of the Evil God’.
The skill description was straightforward.
A piercing attack with no weapon restrictions.
Since I could wield diverse weapons, having no weapon restrictions was an enormous advantage.
“Could it be that I learn a Mythic-grade skill every time I defeat an evil god?”
If that were the case.
If I could learn an All Master-exclusive Mythic-grade skill each time I defeated an evil god.
‘Then there’s no need to waste time acquiring skills from other classes.’
My growth trajectory would change entirely.
For now, I would manage with the skill books I possessed, then gradually learn Mythic-grade skills by defeating evil gods.
Even that alone would allow me to grow at an extraordinary pace.
In any case, I had now obtained all the spoils from the Black Worm God.
Next was.
[ You have completed the Main Scenario Quest ‘Harbinger of Great Evil (1)’. ]
It was time to receive the Main Scenario Quest reward.
Fortunately, Main Scenario Quest rewards didn’t require finding a specific NPC.
Since I had already graduated from the City of Beginnings, there was no way to meet the Sage Instructor, so I had worried—but this was a relief.
When I tapped the Quest completion message that appeared before my eyes.
[ You have extinguished the first Harbinger of Great Evil. ]
[ As a reward for achieving your first feat as an All Master, you may strengthen one of the All Master’s abilities. ]
“Oh, ability enhancement?”
A reward I was pleased with.
The All Master class had a total of eight job abilities.
Each and every one of them was the ultimate upgrade to the Weapon Artisan—the job I had mastered back in First.
Let me examine my abilities for a moment.
[ Omnipotent Arsenal ]
Omnipotent Arsenal alleviates the equipment restrictions on all gear items.
[ Polymath ]
Polymath grants me the ability to acquire every skill in this world—including job skills and unique abilities.
[ Cyclic Amplification ]
Cyclic Amplification grows stronger the more I alternate between different equipment and weapons.
If I choose Omnipotent Arsenal and further relax the equipment restrictions, I’ll be able to use the items stored in my vault far more freely.
As for Polymath… honestly, I have no idea how it strengthens.
If I choose Cyclic Amplification, the efficiency of my abilities will increase, making my combat style—alternating between diverse items—far more powerful.
As I deliberated, I made my decision.
“Yes, this is the one.”
Without hesitation, I selected one of the Omni Master’s abilities.
