Translator: HunterW Editor: RED

As the red haze dissipated, I noticed that I was now in a room similar to the Room of Conflict.

[You have entered the True King-Emperors Treasure Room.

Congratulations. You have passed the King-Emperors Final Test. You will now have a chance at a real reward for sacrificing yourself for your comrades.

By the King-Emperors Order, you will not receive the 70 irreversible death penalties.]

I laughed to myself as I read through the message. Thats exactly right. I made the noble sacrifice for my comrades! Its not like I swindled them out of 1.3 billion golden rings.

My plan went off without a hitch. It couldnt have gone better.

==[You may choose which Real Treasure to receive.

Necklace

Belt

Earrings

Bracelet

Ring

Choosing one of the above will create the King-Emperors Commitment.]==

Would a bracelet be best? I had no idea about this part. I already have a necklace and belt equipped, so not those. I checked through the accessories I already had. I already had the Bracelet of Eternal Fire, so if I picked another bracelet here, I wouldnt be able to equip a better one in the future.

No, Ill go with earrings instead. There were enough rings on the market, so I decided to craft earrings.

==[Earrings of the King-Emperors Commitment have been created.

The holder of the King-Emperors Commitment may choose its effects. However, failing the missions required for each effect will cause the effects to disappear along with each effect slot.

The missions difficulty will get higher according to the importance, power and strength of the effects. Effects that are above your level will immediately fail. Please choose carefully.

You may have a maximum of 7 effects.]==

==[Please create your first effect.]==

When I chose Earrings, a really common-looking pair of Rank 1 earrings appeared before me.

I know exactly what to do for the first one. Increase Unrivaled skill level!

I thought about what effects to create so many times. After thinking so much that my head was about to burst, I thought about my Unrivaled skill. Its max skill level was one, but what would happen if I increased it to 2?

==[There is no effect to raise the skill level of the Unrivaled skill.

Please create another effect.]==

What! The message caught me off guard. Why? I cant just create whatever effect I want? I didnt expect that it wouldnt work.

You said its whatever effect the holder wants. I want to increase my Unrivaled skill level! I shouted at the message screen in front of me, but nothing changed.

Fine then. Increase skill level of Judges Gavel and increase the skill level of Selfish Prick.

==[There is no effect to raise the skill levels of Judges Gavel and Selfish Prick.

Please create another effect.]==

Oh, come on! Well, I was off to a bad start.

Then these wont work either? Generate All Weapon Mastery skill, generate Telekinesis skill, and generate Summon Phoenix skill. I spouted all the random skills I knew about and wanted.

==[You may not create a new skill.

Please create another effect.]==

I fell to my knees. I cant do anything Nothing was going as I had planned. Someone or something has to be fucking with me. Whos getting in my way?!

==[You have three seconds left to create an effect.]==

The message appeared as I was sighing to myself, unsure what to do but when I noticed, my eyes shot open.

Increase all stats!

==[Effect: Increase all Stats will be created.

Difficulty: 5

Mission: Clear all monsters in one hour

Stats will be increased according to mission success to a maximum of 300 Stat points

Defeat at least 70% of the monsters in order to have the effect.]==

Soon, a red haze covered my body and took me to a room I had never seen before. It was completely flat and barren, without a single tree or rock in sight.

==[Monsters will now spawn. You have 1 hour.]==

As soon as the message appeared, monsters began to spawn in the room. They were the Moleman Soldiers that appeared on the first two floors of the King-Emperors Tomb.

Hmmlooks to be about 5-600 of them. It was fair amount for a normal deva, but for me?

Piece of cake. Mana Conversion Fire. Warriors Brave Spirit.

==[Mana Conversion Fire has been activated.]==

==[Warriors Brave Spirit has been activated.]==

I didnt feel the need to use Judges Gavel here. I charged in at the horde of monsters and began swinging my Harrier at them, still unhappy about earlier.

Why cant I raise those three skills? Is it that bad to want more out of them?

I took out my anger out on the Molemen and made quick work out of them. It took me less than half an hour to clear them all out.

==[You have cleared all of the monsters on the field.

Mission cleared: 100%

Time taken: 29:30

For completing the mission well under the mission time, you will receive 50% more to your effect.]==

As the message appeared, I was taken back to the treasure room. The plain earring in front of me was then engulfed in a cloud of gold-yellow smoke. When the smoke disappeared, the earring was now a shiny gold color. However, there was something else on my mind.

If I complete the mission faster than normal, I can get more out of the effect? I felt a little dejected for a second, thinking I should have cleared the monsters faster but it quickly left my mind. Even if I had used Judges Gavel, it would only have made a few seconds difference.

==[The King-Emperors Commitment (No Rank)

The King-Emperors true treasure.

All stats increased by 450 points.

]==

==[Please create your second effect.]==

Alright, fine. Lets say the three skills are too special. Thats why they dont work here. But I swear to God, if this doesnt work eitherIncrease Mana Conversion skill level!

That healer got to raise her skill level. That I knew for sure.

==[Effect: Increase Mana Conversion skill level.

Difficulty:

Mission: Withstand an immortal monsters attacks for 30 minutes.

You must 100% complete this mission in order to have the effect.]==

Yes! It worked! I raised my hands in a hurrah and I was immediately transported to another place. This room was pretty narrow.

I guess I cant get more out of the effect since theres no way to complete it any faster. Are all skill level missions only pass or fail?

==[The immortal monster will now spawn. Stay alive for 30 minutes.]==

Bring it on. I had almost 6,000,000 HP with a VIT of over 8000. I feared no monster.

Ohits not only one. The monsters were also from the Tomb. There were over a hundred regular Moleman Shieldmen.

Kill him!

Kill!

The hundred monsters roared and charged at me.

Kill? Me? Hah!

I countered every time they attacked but they really were immortal. My attacks didnt work at all. They may as well have been completely immune to physical attacks.

Tsk. Like that matters. I put my spear into my inventory and grabbed the monsters by their heads and threw them. Sometimes I threw them into a group, knocking them over like bowling pins. Their attacks whittled away at my HP but it was only for half an hour. It didnt matter.

==[You have survived for 30 minutes.

Mission: 100% complete.]==

Nice. I was engulfed in red smoke again and brought back to the treasure room. The earring was now shining even brighter in gold light. I could even make out an outline of a lion on it.

==[The King-Emperors Commitment (No Rank)

The King-Emperors true treasure.

All stats increased by 450 points

Increase Mana Conversion skill level by 1

]==

==[Please create your third effect.]==

Should I go with Warriors Brave Spirit? I only thought about skills before I got here. If I could actually create whatever effect I wanted, I could make such an overpowered item that could increase all of my skill levels and even create new skills, like the Blink on Azazels Boots.

Well, its not like I can now.

I wasnt planning on boosting my Spirit skill when there were better skills out there, even if it was one of the best skills for fighter classes. But, with the way things have turned out, it wasnt a bad idea to raise its skill level.

I did initially plan on Blink

There were people in the past that had the same skill they learned on an item. What would happen? They were able to use both separately. They basically had two of the same skills with their own cooldowns.

If I have Azazels Blink and put Blink on the Commitment damn. That would really be the best.

Azazels Blink had a five minute cooldown. As useful as it was, it took too long to be used properly in battle. But if I had another one, I could zip around the battlefield in an instant. But there was nothing I could do since I couldnt create a skill.

Increase Warriorshold the phone. I caught myself before I finished my sentence. Something was bugging me in the back of my mind.

There shouldnt be any problemright?

I knew I couldnt create a new skill and I technically hadnt learned Blink either.

I wonderif I can do anything with Azazels Blink. Either way, I did have the skill.

Fine. Create Blink skill.

==[You may not create a new skill.

Please create another effect.]==

I knew it. It doesnt work. Ahincrease Blink skill level! The idea came to me all of a sudden.

==[Effect: Increase Blink skill level.

Difficulty:

Mission: Withstand an immortal monsters attacks for 30 minutes.

You must 100% complete this mission in order to have the effect.]==

==[Your current Blink skill is a fixed skill. It is unable to increase its level.

Increase Blink skill level effect will now become Create Blink skill effect.]==

Whoa! It worked! I had not expected that. I just tried it before I did it on the Spirit skill.

I was transported back to the narrow room. The mission was about the same as the Mana Conversion mission; it was just at a higher difficulty. There were more immortals this time.

Bring it on! This would have been impossible for a normal deva.

I grabbed the nearest Shieldman by the head and threw it at the horde. Strike!

I was definitely taking more damage than before. I took out a Health Potion and quaffed it every time my HP dipped down to a certain amount.

==[You have survived for 30 minutes.

Mission: 100% complete.]==

Soon, the message appeared and the monsters disappeared. I was transported back to the treasure room. The earring was shining even brighter still.

==[The King-Emperors Commitment (No Rank)
