[Fog Island haunts this island . ]



“Ah…”

Grid had eagerly hoped to encounter Fog Island . It was because he had a lot of challenger points stored that could be exchanged for goods . But why? Why did it appear at this timing?

Flop .

Grid opened his mouth like a carp and sat down listlessly . He howled like a man who lost his country after seeing all the treasures disappearing in the fog .

“Treasure…!! My treasure!!!”

Grid had to go through many trials to reach this 57th island . The clone on the 41st island, the golden crowns, the strong monsters in the 50s islands and the labyrinth he just passed . The degree of difficulty for the Behen Archipelago was atrocious .

How good would it be if Fog Island had appeared in such a difficult area?

‘Then I wouldn’t have suffered so much…’

The probability of missing a bonus stage like Treasure Island would’ve fallen dramatically . But reality was a gutter .

“Dammit!”

Grid realized once again . Lady Luck had abandoned him . It was rare for there to be such an unlucky person in the world .

“Damn!”

Grid kept weeping . If it was the Grid of the past, it would’ve taken him a considerable amount of time to escape from the shock . But now it was different . His spirit recovered fairly quickly .

‘…Still, the harder the island, the better the compensation . ’

Let’s take an extreme example .

What if Fog Island appeared on the 41st island? Grid wouldn’t have met the clone and never had the chance to learn Linked Kill Wave and Pinnacle Kill .

‘Yes, it’s good that it didn’t show up on the 40th island . ’

Grid developed his thinking skills and thought as positively as possible as he got up .

“It’s enough to get what I want . ”

Grid wiped away his tears and walked through the thick fog . Then after a while, he saw a light . It was the light emitted by the pumpkin-shaped carriage . Grid identified the products on display as he approached the carriage .

‘Pass on the hidden classes . ’

Fog Island sold a total of 13 hidden classes . The rare classes ranged from 1,000~15,000 challenger points . Currently, Grid had accumulated 31,001 challenger points and could purchase any of the class change books .

However, they didn’t catch his attention . Since the emergence of the third advancement classes, the value of the rare hidden classes had fallen . There was no reason to invest points in it .

‘Next are the skill books…’

There were a total of 46 skill books listed . The rating went from normal to unique . In particular, several unique rated active skills boasted outstanding abilities . However, Grid was a legend . He had the legendary skills, so there was no reason to be obsessed with unique rated skills .

The mastery skills were the exception .



[Skill Book: Weapons Mastery]



Rating: Normal

Type: Passive

The Weapons Mastery skill is generated .

Price: 6,000 Challenger Points .



Weapons Mastery raised the power of every type of weapon . It was the highest mastery skill .

“I have to learn this . ”

Of course, Weapons Mastery had its drawbacks . The increase in abilities was small compared to the mastery skills that were specific to one weapon . But Grid didn’t care . Weapons Mastery was a skill with fantastic compatibility with Grid, who could use any weapon without restrictions .

‘Live!’

Over the past several months, he had worked hard collecting challenger points . Grid consumed 6,000 challenger points without hesitation .



[Skill Book: Weapons Mastery has been acquired . ]



“Okay . ”

Grid was delighted as he confirmed that the skill book had entered his inventory . He was happy that he got the skill he wanted .

“Learn it… Hrmm?”

The reason Grid purchased the skill book wasn’t just to look at it . He planned to acquire it immediately without letting it stay in the inventory for too long . Then he stopped moving as a skill book caught his eyes .

‘Magic Mastery!’



[Skill Book: Magic Mastery]

Rating: Normal

Type: Passive

The Magic Mastery skill is generated .

Price: 5,000 Challenger Points .



“Ummm…”

Magic Mastery? It increased magic power and shortened casting time . Of course, Magic Mastery wasn’t the same as the Weapons Mastery skill that could be learned from a skill book . This was because it needed a magician class to learn .

‘Originally, I would have no relation with this skill . ’

But thanks to the Behen Archipelago, he had a chance to enter a new realm .

‘I can now learn magic from Braham through Assimilation…’



Learning Magic Mastery wouldn’t harm him .

‘No, this is a skill that must be learned . ’

Grid had low intelligence and couldn’t master Braham’s magic . He could only learn the lowest level of magic . But how could Braham’s magic be common? Magic Missile (Enhanced) and Magic Detection (Enhanced) had features that were incomparable to magic of the same type that ordinary magicians had . He had to unconditionally learn Magic Mastery .

‘The price is too expensive . ’

It cost 5,000 challenger points . He could buy at least 20 elixirs with that . Braham’s magic might be powerful, but was it enough to give up 20 elixirs? Grid worried about it for a while before deciding .

‘…I will learn it . ’

Grid was looking into the future . He would keep levelling up and increasing intelligence . Then someday, he would be able to learn higher level magic from Braham . Grid bought the Magic Mastery skill book .

The result .

Remaining Challenger Points: 20,001

“Ugh… . ”

Grid had over 30,000 points just a while ago, so he felt pained seeing it fall to 20,000 .

But!

‘It isn’t in vain . ’

It was a skill book he purchased in order to become stronger . He shouldn’t be sorry . Grid controlled his heart and finally looked at the list of elixirs .



[Strength Elixir]

Permanently increases strength by 10 points .

Price: 250 Challenger Points .



[Stamina Elixir]

Permanently increases stamina by 10 points .

Price: 250 Challenger Points .



[Agility Elixir]

Permanently increases agility by 10 points .

Price: 250 Challenger Points .



[Intelligence Elixir]

Permanently increases intelligence by 10 points .

Price: 250 Challenger Points .



From a common sense of view, the most important stat for a blacksmith was stamina and then strength . However, Grid didn’t buy elixirs for those two stats . In the first place, his strength and stamina were high enough .

‘Right now, I need agility . ’

Piaro had a strength to agility ratio of 1:1 when he was a great swordsman . Grid followed it in a desire to become stronger .



Name: Grid

…

…

“I should use all the remaining points to buy agility elixirs . ”

20,000 points was at least 80 elixirs . It meant he could gain 800 agility at once, which was equal to 80 levels . Grid pressed the purchase button under the agility elixir .



[A consumable item . Please enter the number you want to purchase . ]



Grid smiled with satisfaction at the notification window and was about to reply with ‘80’ when he stopped .

‘…Is this really right?’

If it was before he fought the clone, Grid wouldn’t have hesitated . Now he was different . He could learn magic due to assimilating with Braham’s soul, and at the same time, he acquired Magic Mastery . Wasn’t it right to invest in intelligence in order to take advantage of this?

‘Every time I level up, six points will be put in intelligence . ’

If he gained 100 levels, he would only increase intelligence by 600 points . It was questionable if he could even learn Fire Ball before Braham’s soul left .

‘Yes, don’t be nervous and look at the future . I’m not tied to a legend . I will become a myth . ’

He should look at the forest, not the trees . Grid took a deep breath as he recalled Lauel’s saying and opened his mouth .

“I will buy 40 agility elixirs and 40 intelligence elixirs . ”

Was being an all-rounder bad? Yes, a common all-rounder stunk . There were many people who weren’t strong or weak . But a legendary all-rounder was different . He would be an universal being .

Grid didn’t have any doubts as his eyes shone brighter than ever .

He gained 800 stat points and two mastery skills at once . Now Grid was much stronger .

“Let’s speed up the process . ”

Grid was full of confidence as he moved through the gate to the 58th island . The 58th island was a time attack type hunting dungeon . Grid was able to clear it within the time limit due to his increased attack and magic power .

At the same time, the level of Weapons Mastery and Magic Mastery rose steadily . The level of the monsters was over 400, but the Mastery skills were only beginner level, so the increase in experience was bound to be large .

Grid was thrilled with his growth .
