According to Sticks, the Behen Archipelago was a beautiful and holy place until 200 years ago. It was praised as a sanctuary where former legends passed on their power to current legends. But that was a story of the past.

Now the Behen Archipelago was transformed into a field of trials with all types of dangers. Who caused this? Sticks didnt know, despite his age. He vaguely guessed that he would find the answer if he reached the last island.

I must find the answer. If the succession doesnt function properly, the legends of the current day wont be able to exercise their full strength.

What does that have to do with you?

Sticks wasnt a legend. He wouldnt lose anything if the Hall of Fame failed to function.

I dont know why you sacrificed 97 years because you want to purify this place. But I am thankful from my position.

Sticks smiled gently and explained his reason.

The legends need their strength to protect the order of this world.

The order of this world?

It was cloudy, but Grid got a rough feeling.

Youre doing this for everyone?

Yes.

Its a noble mission.

It wasnt a mockery. His son Lord, his beloved Irene, Khan, Piaro, Jude, Rabbit, and everyone else. Grid was aware of the precious world they lived in. He didnt know the specifics, but Sticks was sacrificing himself to protect the world.

I will repay you for your hard work. Believe in me.

Grid confidently said as he stepped into the gate for the 30th island. Then he was shocked.

[You have entered the 30th island.]

[Your level has dropped to level 1.]

E-Eh?

Grid doubted his eyes. His level had dropped to one? His cognitive ability couldnt figure this out.

What is this?

Sticks sighed and said to the confused Grid.

Has your body changed? This is the reason why I couldnt break through here. There is a very powerful curse, so I cant draw out all my strength.

No, wasnt it too much for a curse to bring him back to level one? Sticks explained to Grid.

It reproduces the nightmare of the challenger.

The 30th island, Nightmare.

This island reproduces the greatest trial that the challenger has already experienced. In my case, I was confronted with Reiders in front of the world tree. My power was suppressed to what it used to be and I couldnt run away from Reiders. I can never break through the 30th island. I hope that the trials you experienced in the past arent too heavy.

?

A question mark appeared above Grids head as he listened to Sticks.

Wasnt the greatest trial when I was looking for Pagmas Rare Book?

His level and situation at that time should be reproduced, so why was he level one? What big ordeal could he experience at level one?

Ah.

Grid looked around at the scenery of the island and frowned. The scene reproduced by the 30th island. He belatedly realized that it was the beginner area around the fortified city of Patrian.

I was killed dozens of times by the rabbits and bears.

It was the moment when the black history he sealed off for his self-defense emerged again.

***

Piaro intervened.

The showdown between the 1st ranked Kraugel and legendary class Grid. Chairman Lim Cheolho watched the recorded video from beginning to end and was convinced by the results.

But surely I didnt know that Kraugel would challenge Piaro.

Kraugels pride and challenging spirit was higher than predicted, as he chose the hard way by challenging the strongest. Lim Cheolho emptied a beer can and laughed.

I never imagined that Piaro would grow to that extent.

It wasnt enough to create a new legendary class, which was different from the nine legendary classes that were inherited. Piaros current appearance was contradictory to the original plan. Originally, he was a key character prepared for the Empress Marie, Episode 3 storyline, as well as the peoples alliance storyline.

Grid was amazing, finding a character filled with hatred and vengeance and making him walk a new path.

Making an NPC his subordinate and actively utilizing him

Satisfy was a game with a large degree of freedom. He didnt know if Grid did this on purpose from beginning to end.

Um.

Chairman Lim Cheolho emptied his third can of beer and rose from his seat. It was to get a new can of beer out of the fridge. At that moment.

[Quest SH100B7 has been triggered.]

!

Chairman Lim Cheolhos eyes widened as he heard Morpheus words.

By whom?

In fact, it was a nonsensical question. Quest SH100B7. It was a quest activated when a legendary class user reached the 25th island of the Contaminated Heben Archipelago. At this point, there were only two legendary classes.

Grid and Yura. But Yuras level was still too low.

[Grid.]

Kuooh, of course.

Lim Cheolho was sad. Grids current self couldnt clear the Contaminated Behen Archipelago quest.

It is relatively easy to reach the 25th island using items

But from the 30th island, a higher level of control was required. Most of the items wouldnt be applied, so Grid was at a disadvantage.

It might be possible if Grid maintains his current growth and challenges it again in half a year. At present, isnt the quest clearance rate close to zero?

Morpheus replied with an answer that surprised Lim Cheolho.

[Grid has a 88.19% of clearing the SH100B7 quest. The difficulty of his trials is very low.]

Lim Cheolho ordered one more chicken. He was planning to monitor Grid in real time.

[30th Island]

The place and situation where you had the most deaths is 100% recreated.

Overcome the trial and jump past your previous self!

Mission Clear Condition: Gain three levels.

First Clear Reward: 500 Challenger Points.

[The mission will start 30 minutes from now.]

The space where I suffered the most deaths

Thus, the space reproduced was the novice area of Patrian. It was a reminder of how incompetent Grid was when he first started playing the virtual reality game.

Hop hop.

Bark bark. Bark bark bark!

There were rabbits in the forest, deer at the lake shore, and dogs playing with children. Sticks nervously observed the scenery of the peaceful forest and tilted his head.

Why was this chosen as a trial?

Grid was too embarrassed to explain to Sticks. It was too unfortunate to see that these rabbits and deer were comparable to a terrible dragon like Reiders. Therefore, Grid remained silent as he opened his status window.

Name: Grid

Class: Beginner

Health: 123 Mana: 15

Strength: 6 Stamina: 7

Agility: 4 Intelligence: 5

Skills Possessed: None

The situation was recreated 100%, so even his class and titles were reset. He was armed with equipment for beginners. Most of his hard earned items were disabled.

Sticks kept making a fuss.

Where is this place? Its so common that its difficult to tell. Is there a huge monster at the end of this forest? An ordeal given to Pagmas Descendant Heok, dont tell me you met a dragon? This Its said that the difficulty of the 30th island has increased in proportion to the challengers ability.

Grid didnt say anything. He ignored Sticks, walking out towards the rabbits grazing.

I will get revenge.

He hadnt been able to adapt to virtual reality games yet. He couldnt move his fingers or toes at all, and his arms and legs moved separately from what he wanted.

The white rabbit who killed me with its front teeth, the black rabbit who slapped me with its hind legs, the grey rabbit that headbutted me to death!

He would completely wash away his disgrace and write a new history!

Buuong~

Grid firmed up his heart and wielded his sword. The wooden sword flew at a very slow speed. It was a level that the hopping rabbits could avoid.

Kuk.

Just a few minutes ago, Grid had 2,800 strength and 1,800 agility. It was difficult to adapt after it decreased to 6 and 4 points respectively. It was like regressing from a healthy adult to a newborn baby.

Grid was embarrassed by the slow attack as the rabbit ran up to him. In the past, the grey rabbit had given Grid hell by hitting him a few times. But now its strikes couldnt hit Grid.

Deftly.

Grid used the footwork of Pagmas Swordsmanship, Link, to move to the left and evade the grey rabbit. They were skilled movements that an ordinary level 1 user wouldnt be able to show. It wasnt an exaggeration to say that it was like a level 60 user. It was enough to be listed in the Guinness Book of Records for movements that a level 1 beginner could show.

Okay!

Grid marvelled at his own ability. However, there was no time to rest. The rabbit started to realize that its attack was in vain and called its kin for a pincer attack.

This!

Grids face tensed for the first time. In the past, he wouldve allowed the rabbits pincer attack. But now Grid was different.

I!

Teong!

Grid showed the highest concentration as he blocked the white rabbits long, pointed front teeth with a wooden sword. At the same time, he aimed his fist.

Peeok!

The white rabbit was in tears after being hit hard. The eyes of the black rabbit shone. The black rabbits kick aimed at Grids chest, who avoided it.

This ridiculous guy.

Grid scoffed and aimed his wooden sword.

Ppak!

Jjik!

The black rabbits head was hit hard and it collapsed. Grid kicked it and roared.

I am a legend!!!

Currently, Grids performance was higher than his stats.

In no time, he had fully adapted to his 6 strength and 4 agility, and could freely manipulate his body to strike at the rabbit with the wooden sword.

He was the legend who killed several strong bosses, such as the Yatan Servants, Pope Drevigo, the Great Demon Hell Gao, Vampire Earl Elfin Stone, and who had experience fighting the legendary Piaro and 1st ranked Kraugel.

Peeok! Peok peok! Peeeeok!

[You have defeated a white rabbit.]

[5 experience has been acquired.]

[You have defeated a black rabbit.]

[5 experience has been acquired.]

Grids fighting style became more sophisticated the more he fought. He beat the rabbits with a skill that was hard to believe for a level 1 user. But Sticks wasnt inspired as he watched from the side.

At the same time, in Reidan.

Abubu! Abuoo~!

Lord, armed with the Baby Wooden Sword made by his father Grid, was hunting a desert rabbit that was twice as powerful as a normal rabbit. Lord caught the rabbit while crawling around on all fours. It was enough to raise the admiration of Piaro, who once dreamt of being a sword saint.

The young lord has an excellent talent in swordsmanship.

Perhaps, the ultimate genius wasnt Kraugel, as Piaro thought.
