With Karens clean kick, multiple messages popped up.

[You have leveled up.]

[You have received skill points.]

[Affluents Bonus Effect activates.]

[You have received additional skill points.]

[You have acquired Wanderers Armor.]

[You have acquired Elastic Leather Pants.]

[You have acquired Distorted Hope Ring.]

[You have acquired 7 platinum coins.]

[You have acquired 25 gold coins.]

[You have acquired 35 silver coins.]

[You have acquired 21 medium red potions.]

[You have acquired 13 medium blue potions.]

Glow

Seol looked at the light radiating from the chest.

The light is a bit weaker than usual? It makes sense though

Since the previous Adventure was an incredible Adventure that required him to kill Anachindrias descendant, the rewards were just as incredible.

It was actually normal for an Adventure of this stage to only radiate that much light from the rewards chest.

Seol then began checking all of the items one by one.

[[Wanderers Armor]

Quality: Rare

Recommended Level: 13-18

Defense: 115

Durability: 90/90

Weight: 9kg

An armor previously worn by a wandering knight.

Though there are traces of extensive use, as it was used often by the knight before their death, it is more than suited to be worn by a new master.

Basic Effect: +8 Strength, +8 Constitution

Bonus Effect: The wearers turn rate is two times faster.]

Hm What should I do?

Even though the Ghosts Armor that Karuna wore had worse Basic Effects as its Recommended Level was lower, its Bonus Effect was much better.

The Bonus Effect on this is so ambiguous its just ambiguous.

The answer to Is an increased turn rate good? was obviously Yes.

But when asked differently, whether an increased turn rate was a powerful enough effect for one of the main item slots, the question became much more difficult to answer.

As Seol thought to himself, he heard a whisper.

Its perfect for me, whispered Karen from behind.

- Ahhh WTF?! Dont scare me!

- Please dont do that!

- Im going to have nightmares about this. LMFAO Mine?

And why do you think that? asked Seol in response.

Who else but me spinny spins?

Spinny spins? Ah!

One of Karens skills was Fire Flower.

When she used Fire Flower, she spun at an incredible speed to create a tornado of fire.

And that tornado dealt massive AoE damage which razed the battlefield.

I guess the armors effects would also apply to Fire Flower.

Fire Flowers special characteristic was that it increased damage based on the number of times the user spun.

Then wouldnt her spinning at a faster rate shorten the amount of time it required for her to deal massive amounts of damage?

Karen was already smiling with the armor in her hands.

You dont have any complaints about me wearing this, right?

......

......

Alright, then I'll change into this!

[You have equipped Karen, the Twin Knight, with Wanderers Armor.]

Fwirl!

As Karen entered the Shadow Space to change into her new armor, Jamad said a word to Seol.

Check it quickly.

Yeah.

- LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

- Shes coming! Check it quickly!!!

- Shes going to take the gold too at this rate!

[[Elastic Leather Pants]

Quality: Rare

Recommended Level: 13-17

Defense: 60

Durability: 75/75

Weight: 1kg

A pair of pants that boast a robust texture and excellent durability.

It is unknown what leather was used to make this.

Basic Effect: +10 Constitution, +5 Spirit

Bonus Effect: There is a small chance of deflecting attacks that land on it.]

The effects were just okay.

As the effects werent amazing or awful, it would be a waste of time to spend time thinking about who to equip it to.

Thanks, Ill use it well.

[You have equipped Jamad, the Tyrant, with Elastic Leather Pants.]

Fwirl!

As Jamad disappeared into the Shadow Space this time, Karen popped out.

[[Distorted Hope Ring]

Quality: Rare

Recommended Level: 10-18

Resistance: 27

Durability: 60/60

Weight: 0.1kg

A ring worn by someone who wasnt able to be saved.

Basic Effect: +3 Constitution, +3 Spirit

Bonus Effect: The wearers senses increase slightly.]

As Seol was about to take the ring for himself, Karen interrupted him.

Would it be alright if I took that ring?

...Why?

- Why this time?

- What reason could you possibly have this time?!

- My grandma passed away

- You used that excuse too last time!

Karen responded lightly.

I just dont want to forget the things that happened here.

- Ah no complaints from me anymore.

- Shes really using that cheat here?

- Youre not an awful person who wouldnt give the ring after hearing that right?

- Dismissed! Its already too late.

Seol shrugged and handed Karen the ring.

[You have equipped Karen, the Twin Knight, with Distorted Hope Ring.]

The fact that Seol didn't acquire any new equipment during this Adventure didn't particularly matter either.

After all, he did have a shiny new necklace around his neck.

[[Necklace of Distorted Faith]

Quality: Treasure

Recommended Level: 14-20

Resistance: 50

Durability: 82/82

Weight: 0.1kg

A necklace made from an unknown metal.

It gives off quite an ominous energy.

Basic Effect: +3 All Stats

Bonus Effect: +2 All Stats]

When Seol visited Twilight Town during his Long Distance Adventure, he decided to burn the entire town. Though he received a penalty because of that, he was also able to acquire a necklace.

In the end, every member of Seols party became stronger, even if it was a little bit.

- Must be nice for Snowman. Even if he cant use an item, he can just give it to his summons.

- Wake up dude. Did you not just see him get all 3 of his items stolen? LMFAO

- Seriously, summons are just parasites that steal items from their master.

- Summon: Summoner, I listened to what you had to say. Ill consider it. Ah, this is mine though.

- Its more like a triumvirate than a monarchy lol

Ah, I still had the titles.

[[Title: Savior]

Related Achievement: Find the Difference (Adventure: Face Collector)

Bonus Effect: Insights proficiency is slightly increased.]

[[Title: Quack]

Related Achievement: Overcoming the Disease (Adventure: Face Collector)

Bonus Effect: All healing actions have an additional 10% effect. This can also be used as identification.]

...This is much better than I expected.

Insights proficiency was always lacking, so any increase was welcomed.

Quacks effect of increasing healing was amazing, but the fact that it could be used as identification was the best part.

After all, there are times when being an adventurer isnt enough.

For instance, it wasn't ideal when you needed to interact with individuals of high social status, and it was equally unfavorable when you had to enter a town previously ravaged by bandits posing as adventurers.

In those scenarios, being identified as something else was much better.

Even if it was as a quack doctor, being able to tell people that he was a doctor was a great option to have.

Done.

Are you done now? Then look at this, look at the amazing lines my armor gives me

Hmph, its just shitty armor that isnt breathable in the end. Armors nothing compared to good leather.

Huh? What the hell are you saying? This is why I dont listen to barbarian races that run around naked.

I thought elves werent supposed to wear metal armor and instead wore things made out of leather and plants I guess I shouldnt have trusted the rumors. Ah, either that or maybe youre just a fake elf?

What? Hey! Are you done talking now?!

- Snowman: I am once again asking for you guys to shut up.

- Snowman (bleeding from both ears)

- When are you coming back, Karuna?

Seol could immediately be transported to Nobira if he ended the Adventure here, but since he no longer wanted to worry about the Expedition System and the troubles that came with it, he simply moved to Audenin without ending the Adventure.

Is this Audenin? Woah its so big. I think it might even be bigger than Nobira?

We dont have time to sightsee. Were going to be going back immediately.

Oh, really?

Its because of everything thats happened. If we want to keep our promise with Chao and arrive on time, this is our only option.

Hm thats a shame.

We might come back here sooner rather than later, though. So you can sightsee then.

Alright! Its a shame, but we can just sightsee then.

There was only a bit of Remaining Time left on the Adventure.

Seol quickly chose Audenin as his Rest location.

[Your Rest location has changed to Audenin.]

[You have moved to a different location. The travel luck dice are rolling.]

Rattle Rattle Rattle

And finally, the dice stopped rolling.

[Travel Luck Dice has rolled a 2.]

[You are quite unlucky.]

* * *

Translator - goguma

Proofreader - Karane

* * *

Damn it! Again?

- LMFAOOOOOO 2222222

- Its 22222 again hahahaha

- Snowmans going to wear a tutu at this rate

-

Even though Seol wasnt planning on staying in Audenin, he was still shocked by the awful luck once more.

It was also because if he got even more unlucky, he could be swept away by a Sudden Adventure.

Still, there was still something left up Seols sleeve to relieve this awful situation that the viewers enjoyed and Seol found disheartening.

[Outlaw activates.]

[Travel Luck Dice has been fixed to a 3.]

[You are decently lucky.]

[The Adventures you undertake near Audenin now will proceed normally.]

[The Adventures you undertake near Audenin now will have normal difficulty.]

[The Adventures you select near Audenin now have a low chance of forcibly changing to a Sudden Adventure.]

[Your luck is decent enough to take on the Adventures nearby.]

Phew thats a relief.

- Those who have, always keep getting more

- Why couldnt he roll a 1?

- Info) Even if he rolled a 1, it wouldve been fixed to a 3.

- Why the hell did they make special titles?

Seol, relieved, ended the Adventure.

As he was already in his Rest location, he wasnt transported like usual.

[Next is the Points Leaderboard up to Adventure 12.]

Ding

[Your information is set to Private.]

[You have 1,897,700 Points.]

[Adventurer Points Leaderboard

1. Private (1,897,700)

2. Private (990,020)

3. IsThisTheAfterlife? (882,360)

4. Utopia (870,210)

5. UnfamiliarCeiling (860,140)]

- Even here, Snowmans overwhelming!

- Look at the point differential LMFAO

- I bet the other rankings must think its a bug.

- The people below him: Wh-who the fuck is that?

- A 2 times difference

After entering the new city, the Adventurer Points Leaderboard gave Seol somewhat useful information.

These guys are ahead of Nobira.

Though multiple Adventures had passed since then, compared to Nobira, which had Rank 2 nearing only 500,000 points, Audenins high-ranked Adventurers were much further ahead.

After Im finished with business in Nobira, it might not be a bad idea to come down here.

It didnt seem like a bad idea to move here after finishing business with Chao and receiving Karens equipment from Hamun.

Regardless, after reading the Rest message, Seol asked the people in the town square where the wagons were and headed there.

After around 10 minutes of walking, he noticed Adventurers around him, who looked like transferees, murmuring among themselves.

D-Did you see it? They have nearly 2 million points

Who could it be? Changsik hyung was only happy that he would reach 1 million points soon, so what kind of monster has nearly 2 million points?

I heard that there were a few monsters at the location waaaaaay down South.

Those assholes? Its probably not them either.

This is insane, really Even 600,000 points is hard for me, so I cant believe there are people in the millions

Changsik hyungs faction is going to go crazy. They came in out of nowhere too, right?

Probably?

Seol thought it was amazing that simply moving from one location to another could have such a huge ripple effect.

Obviously, though, he wasnt stupid enough to show it off.

In the end, Seol, after arriving in the shipping area, immediately looked for a wagon headed to Nobira.

Nobira? Why would you want to go there? Do you have a death wish or something?

What?

Just go if youre going to ask for something so ridiculous!

The horsemen all treated Seol like he was an insane person. But in the end, one of them came up to Seol and gave him some shocking news.

Are you trying to go to Nobira?

Yes, I am. But why is no one trying to go there?

Because something happened there, obviously.

What happened there?

- Huh? Nobira was fine before?

- Theres a problem there? Im the problem though.

- Stop it.

The horseman scratched the back of his neck.

It was ambushed recently you know

What do you mean

The entire city, not just the commercial district, was burned down. A lot of people were kidnapped, too.

Seol could feel his strength escaping his body.

It seemed that during his Long Distance Adventure, a problem had occurred in Nobira.

An ambush?
