NOVEL NEXT Chapter 38: (1)
Kaiyan stopped attacking the monsters, lost in thought, yet his level still increased.
It felt as if someone else was hunting in his place. But how long has it been since he last leveled up?
He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this absurd situation. It’s a good thing, but not knowing the reason behind it made him uneasy.
“Let’s think about it. I have gained too much to just let it go.”
Kaiyan calmed his anxious mind and carefully considered why things turned out this way.
“The monsters leveled up after crashing into the cliff and dying. Then, I leveled up again after they crashed on the ground. But now, even though I did nothing, my level still increased.”
Leveling up means gaining experience points.
In other words, it means he killed the monsters. But why did the monsters that died from the fall count as his kills?
“…Influence. Yes, I influenced their deaths.”
After contemplating, he could deduce a somewhat reasonable explanation.
Just like how he can level up without personally finishing off the monsters, he had influenced their deaths.
“And the only thing that affected them as a group… was the toy.”
The toy he shot up into the sky affected them.
Still, it was hard to believe that all this happened because of just one toy. Such a situation occurred because of a mere toy.
“Does this even make sense…?”
Ding! [You have acquired a title] [Title: Guardian of the Sky]
“A title?”
He knew there was a message displaying titles in the Character Status, but since it had been empty until now, he didn’t pay much attention to it.
But suddenly, a title appeared. And it was a cool one, Guardian of the Sky.
“Character Status.”
With trembling anticipation, he summoned the Character Status to see how much his level had increased and the new title he obtained.
Name: Kaiyan / Age: 15 / Class: Player / Title: Guardian of the Sky
Level: 48 / Strength: 32 / Agility: 20 / Stamina: 17 / Intelligence: 9 / Free Points: 52
“Wow… This is insane.”
As soon as he looked at the Character’s Status, laughter burst out of him.
Level 48. The last time he checked, it was at level 22.
And he had a whopping 52 Free points to distribute.
To think that he could gain 26 levels in an instant just by using a 40G toy. It was truly a miracle.
“Kaiyan, are you okay? Are you feeling any pain?”
Uncle Jeff cautiously put his hand on Kaiyan’s forehead.
He must have been worried seeing Kaiyan laughing like a maniac. Everyone else had a serious expression in this dire situation, and there was Kaiyan, laughing like a madman.
“I’m fine. I just had a sudden happy thought. Hehehe.”
“Are you sure? If something hurts, let us know.”
“Hehehe… Hahaha!”
Kaiyan tried to cover his mouth to stifle the laughter, but it didn’t work as intended.
Seeing him like that, Uncle Jeff and Uncle Max took a step back, looking at him with worried faces.
“Are you really okay?”
“Ha… Hoo. Yes, I’m okay.”
Taking a deep breath helped calm his mind a bit.
It was difficult to contain the absurd yet joyful event, but it was too obvious that he stood out, laughing like a madman in the midst of this grave situation.
“I’ve gone crazy… How should I use these points? Should I distribute them all to strength?”
He was in a situation where he had no idea how to use the points.
The number 52 was equivalent to the total ability points he had gained through leveling up and quests from the day he awakened.
In other words, if he distributed them properly, he would become at least twice as strong as he is now.
“But first… Let’s check the title. I wonder if an explanation will appear when I press it.”
Since the player system might not provide explanations about titles, he cautiously pressed it, feeling nervous.
[Guardian of the Sky (B)]
Title Effect: Can fly in the sky for one minute, three times a day.
Fortunately, the description for the title appeared. Its effect allowed him to fly in the sky.
Receiving such a significant gift from the player system made his heart race with excitement.
“The sky…”
A sigh of admiration escaped his lips.
Just the fact that he could fly in the sky was amazing, considering it was a power only accessible to high-circle mages and flying monsters. He could hardly believe that he could fly.
“I’ve gained something incredible. But why did the title suddenly appear? Did I kill many aerial monsters?”
He had doubts about how to obtain titles, but he didn’t dwell on that problem for long. The player system had its ways. If he tried to uncover everything one by one, it would be endless, and he knew that well.
“It’s a great feeling to kill monsters.”
Ping! Ping!
Thunk!
“Die! Haha!”
Even as he shot arrows toward the monsters falling to the ground, laughter kept erupting from his mouth.
Ding! [You have leveled up]
Even though he hadn’t killed many monsters, he leveled up again.
His guess was correct. It was all because of him that those monsters were injured while chasing after the toy and fell. Although they didn’t directly provide experience points since they were still alive, the influence he exerted on them was recognized, and the experience points were granted through the actions of other soldiers. Thus, as soldiers killed more monsters, his level continued to rise.
Ping! Ping!
Thunk!
“Dieee!”
As he relentlessly fired arrows and enjoyed the sight of the monsters dying, Max and Jeff cautiously opened their mouths, looking a bit perplexed.
“Um… But what will happen to the Harpy Queen in this situation?”
“That’s right. The situation is a bit ambiguous.”
“Anyway, our support unit’s role is to hunt down the Harpy Queen….”
“That’s… true.”
After all, their mission was to hunt down the Harpy Queen.
“Well… Is that okay?”
Kaiyan opened his mouth, pausing his hands that were relentlessly shooting arrows at the monsters.
“What do you mean?”
“The reason for capturing the Harpy Queen is because it’s causing significant damage to the Alliance forces.”
“That’s right.”
“But wouldn’t it be irrelevant if the monsters are being wiped out like that?”
