Of course, the quick relocation of the 3rd and 4th Leagues was only possible thanks to my father"s quick approval. Nonetheless, I had to admire the way Director Sok handled this matter so smoothly.

While I was admiring his excellent performance, I noticed someone running toward me quickly.

“Asirante!”

It was Kihanna who gave me this quest.

“Asirante! People… A lot of people are entering this Pioneers" City!”

“Really? That"s a good thing.”

I wanted to say it calmly as if I didn"t know anything about it, but I couldn"t control my smile because her actions clearly showed that the quest was about to be cleared.

Then, with wet eyes, she kept talking to me while I silently listened.. But I didn"t care much.

Even though I didn"t say anything, I could still find some important information in her words.

For example, she said that if this phenomenon persisted for 3-4 days, they would send a letter to the king, and then the king"s secret organization would come to verify it.

In other words, another 3-4 days had to pa.s.s before I could complete this quest.

As for after that? It didn"t matter to me if this place turned into an empty city of pioneers again later. Anyway, the goal of Kihanna"s Salte race was to escape their slavery status.

Of course, it seemed that a certain number of people would still remain because of the stone squirrels" undigested mineral ma.s.ses.

“Move to Pioneers" City!”

[You have been moved to Pioneers" City]

After conversing with Kihanna, I moved to Pioneers" City to hunt in other hunting grounds I had in mind for three to four days before I could clear the quest .

Of course, I could hunt here, but although I know who they are, they don"t know who I am.

Therefore, there might be some friction between us because the speed at which I hunt and the areas I clear are far above average.

That"s why I was looking for an unpopular hunting ground.

At that moment a message appeared.

[level quest ‘Light the Lamp of Hope for the Salte clan" is underway.

-If you leave Pioneers" City during the quest, you cannot complete the quest

-Would you like to move?]

“Sure.”

There was no such restriction before. The only restriction was that the Salte clan would destroy the quest if there was no progress for more than a month.

“I wish I had known this in advance…”

In fact, I could only learn that restriction after accepting the quest.

And I could only know this new restriction now after trying to get out of Pioneers" City for the first time.

So, I first stopped by several hunting grounds belonging to Pioneers" City. However, there were Myongjin Group users in all these areas. The only place left wasr the Rocky Area where the stone squirrels appeared.

‘Hmm." I found myself agonizing for a moment because I could only get very little EXP from hunting the stone squirrels. Of course, I could not hunt among Myongjin Guild members.

I didn"t think that all of them were gentlemen with nice manners since they belonged to Myongjin.

After all, they moved not only because of Myongjin, but also for their own interest.

For example, they could be hostile to others simply because they were hunting more monsters than them.

‘Should I tell them that I also belong to Myongjin?"

I haven"t actually signed up, but I"m definitely a member of Myongjin, for the chairman was my father. But I decided not to.

I could put up with it for the next three or four days to clear this quest.

Thinking like this, I ran towards the stone squirrels to acquire even one more EXP.

It was now the 5th day, way beyond the expected 3rd or 4th day.

I could not help but get a little nervous because I didn"t level up even once by the 5th day, even if I have collected a lot of mineral ma.s.ses that would be of great value in the future.

However, I just kept hunting without any complaint because being impatient or nervous would be of no help.

A message rang while I was busy catching the stone squirrels with Ice Fields, Pouring Hailstones and Ice Blasts.

[You have successfully cleared the Grade A quest ‘Light the Lamp of Hope for the Salte clan."]

The message popped up suddenly while I was hunting.

“Hhhhhhhhh.”

I burst into laughter like a madman, and I didn"t try to restrain it because I had finally cleared the quest.

Of course, the message didn"t end there.

[A reward is given for clearing the Grade A quest ‘Light the Lamp of Hope for the Salte clan."

-You have earned 25 million golden rings.

-You have earned a significant amount of EXP.

-You have earned 1500 coins.

-You have obtained 300 remaining stats.

-You have obtained a random box that has one item between the Precious and Legendary grades.]

[You have levelled up]

[You have levelled up.]

[You have levelled up.]

“Yeah, I do quests for this sort of thrill.”

I forgot all of my hards.h.i.+ps after confirming this series of messages.

Of course, I couldn"t really say I had hards.h.i.+ps because it was easier than expected for me to get rid of the Gahwa Guild.

And the biggest headache, the revival of the Pioneers" City, I solved it easily with my family"s help.

Another message rang again when I was about to open my status window to confirm my rewards.

[Pioneers" City"s name will be changed to ‘Asirante".]

“?”

Asirante was the pseudonym I introduced myself with to Kihanna. Throughout the quest I used this pseudonym. Of course, I was a little embarra.s.sed, but I tried to ignore it because I could not stop them from using that name for the city

At that moment another message rang, which suggested I should not try to veto the use of that name.

[Congratulations. Asirante! Your achievements are so great that your name is widely known among the locals. You are rewarded for such recognition..

-You have obtained 10,000 coins.

-You can upgrade one skill beyond its maximum level once.

For example, if you select Ice Weapon, whose maximum level is 3, you can upgrade to the next level, level 4.

Once you select the skill, you can"t change it.

-You have earned the t.i.tle ‘Honorable Name".]

[Congratulations! The total number of your t.i.tles is now five. You"re rewarded for that.

-The t.i.tles you currently hold.

: Only Closed Beta maximum level user.

: Scarecrow destroyer.

: Have you enhanced as much as me?

: The man who doesn"t approve.

: Honorable name.

-You have earned 300 remaining stats.]

“…”

First of all I"ve obtained as many as 10,000 coins by clearing this quest.

Not only my father but also my sister particularly emphasized the importance of coins.

But honestly, I couldn"t believe it because I had no use for them.

And although the coins were believed to be difficult to obtain, I got 12,000 coins in a reinforcement quest limited to level 100, I got another 500 as the reward for clearing the Scorpion King, and I just now obtained 1,500 for clearing the A grade quest ‘Light the Lamp of Hope for the Salte clan."

It was a huge amount.

Moreover, my sister told me that even though there were many high level users, they did not even have 100 to 200 coins, let alone 1000..

But I obtained 10,000 coins only a few minutes after getting 1500.

I got lots of these precious coins so often that I could not appreciate its real value, so I took my eyes off the coins without any hesitation because I had heard some other things from my sister.

“I saw that I can upgrade a kill past its maximum level…”

I liked this reward a lot because it meant that I could upgrade my Ice Field skill, which I used most often these days and opened the battle with, to level 8 or 9 from level 2, 5, or 7.

However, I didn"t have to choose now because my Ice Field was not yet level 7. Besides, I might find a better skill.

“Check t.i.tle ‘Honorable Name".”

So, I examined the newly acquired t.i.tle first.

[t.i.tle: Honorable Name.

-It is a t.i.tle that can only be obtained by one who has made such brilliant achievements that people praise and remember his name.

: You are loved by the locals.

: Increases vitality by 50,000.

: Increases mana by 5 million.

: All stats increase by 300.]

“Wow!”

The t.i.tle that I acquired first, Only Closed Beta Max Level User, was extraordinary.

It was a t.i.tle n.o.body else could achieve.

So, I considered my t.i.tle, Scarecrow Destroyer, as the threshold for a good t.i.tle.

Scarecrow Destroyer, which increased vitality by 100,000, mana by 100,000, and stats by 200 did not fall behind any other t.i.tle I knew of.

Of course, the t.i.tle, Honorable Name, was behind Scarecrow Destroyer since it increased vitality and mana by 50,000 respectively, but it increased stats by 300 which was 100 more compared to the increase given by Scarecrow Destroyer.

So, I felt good about it because I had yet to feel that I was lacking in vitality and mana.

This time I obtained another t.i.tle that gave me 300 stats, my fifth t.i.tle Honorable Name. In fact, during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Closed Betas, I did not have a single t.i.tle.
