▶D-Rank Special Effect

???

Kibisis.

Hera's magic bag, which can hold 'anything.'

It was a safer item than any safe.

'In simple terms, it functions like an inventory in a game.'

And unlike in games, players facing disasters do not have an 'inventory' function.

That's why Shi Xian chose Kibisis.

"Swallow."

Whoosh.

The mouth of Kibisis opened, and items began to enter automatically.

Not only that.

Items entering Kibisis were automatically sorted by type.

Weapons, armor, consumables, potions, material items.

'With Kibisis.'

Shi Xian's lips curled up.

'I can obtain any item I want.'

With this item alone, he could hunt monsters and sweep up the remaining items.

The increase in magic power, physical resistance, and magic resistance was just a bonus.

...

Since proficiency rose simply by swallowing and sorting items.

Kibisis was an efficient item in many ways.

'By now, Olympus must be in chaos.'

The owner of Kibisis was Hera.

Hera.

One of the twelve main deities of Olympus, one of the largest and most influential worlds.

She was a special existence among the main deities.

Hera was the legitimate wife of Zeus, the king of Olympus.

She was known as the pinnacle of all goddesses and magic.

Her status and influence were on par with an 'absolute god' who completely dominated a world.

Zeus and Hera.

Having stolen the unique items of the king and queen of Olympus, chaos must have ensued by now.

'But they can't do anything to me right away.'

Shi Xian's lips curled up.

Zeus, Hera, Olympus.

They were all enemies he would eventually face.

'Shall I go?'

He had obtained Kibisis.

Now, all that was left was to secure food.

Securing food was not difficult.

It was scattered in collapsed supermarkets and convenience stores.

Among them, Shi Xian targeted sealed food.

The reason was simple.

They could be stored in Kibisis and eaten at any time.

Whoosh.

"Die!"

"I found it first!"

"Damn bastards!"

He avoided places where people were fighting over food.

No matter how much the world had changed, he didn't want to kill unless it was absolutely necessary.

'These people are players who will face the disaster.'

As long as they didn't provoke him or cause trouble among the people.

Shi Xian didn't feel the need to attack first.

"Open shop."

Among the debris of a collapsed building.

After confirming no one was around, Shi Xian opened the shop.

Perhaps because it was the first disaster, the shop was running various events.

Shi Xian, ignoring those, moved the holographic window to the items he wanted.

The shop sells all kinds of things.

The most representative are items and skills.

'Current points: 21,302 points.'

With this much, he could buy the items he wanted.

#Fruit that grows on the tree of elves. Increases the growth rate of weak players.

▶Consumable Item

▶Effect

When consumed, all experience points gained over 30 days are increased by 100%.

*However, this effect only applies up to player level 30.

*For skill or item proficiency, it only applies up to 'C' rank.

Fruit of Proficiency.

It was the most important item for Shi Xian at the moment.

By quickly raising his experience points to level 20, he could obtain a new divine item.

The proficiency of existing divine items would also skyrocket.

'There's no more efficient item for my traits than the Fruit of Proficiency.'

20,000 points.

It was a price that ordinary players couldn't even imagine, but for Shi Xian, it was worth more than that.

Crunch!

After eating the Fruit of Proficiency.

Shi Xian bought additional items.

#An item created by an unknown navigator from another world. Helps players not get lost.

▶Material Item

▶Effect

Designates the current location. An arrow pointing to the designated location is generated as long as you have this item.

Remains of the North Star.

A cheap item at 1,000 points, but quite useful when there's a starting point in a maze.

With this, he could escape no matter how long it took.

'Good. The preparations are complete.'

'Let's raise proficiency during the remaining time.'

Fifteen days passed.

Although no additional goblins appeared during the non-disaster period.

The Songpa District was filled with the corpses of goblins that died in the first disaster.

Swallowing the goblin corpses, magic stones, and potions, Kibisis' proficiency skyrocketed.

Proficiency experience points rose easily at the E rank.

And he was consuming the 'Fruit of Proficiency.'

Kibisis' proficiency shot up like a rocket.

'Before the regression, I couldn't even think about buying the Fruit of Proficiency because it was too expensive. I only reached level 10 much later.'

...

Of course, he had obtained Astrapae and survived the first disaster.

But Kibisis' proficiency rose so quickly that it was on par with Astrapae's.

'After the second disaster ends, both can advance to the D rank.'

It was just before the start of the second disaster.

'Good.'

Recalling the opponent in the second disaster, Shi Xian got up and headed to the Olympic Park.

The preparations were complete.

▶Objective: Destroy the eggs guarded by Green Snakes within the time limit.

▶Reward: [Level +1] [1,000 points]

▶Additional Reward: Varies based on contribution.

▶Failure: No penalty.

Songpa District, Seoul.

The ground split open, and snakes crawled out from the cracks.

"Screeee!"

"Hisss!"

The first disaster, goblins.

To be honest, it felt like a tutorial in terms of difficulty.

Of course, it wasn't easy.

There were quite a few deaths due to goblins.

But the difficulty level changed from the second disaster.

Most importantly, from the second disaster, players would start receiving quests.

That is, they couldn't just sweep through with brute force; they had to meet specific conditions.

'Well, at least this quest condition is to destroy the eggs.'

Most players wouldn't even know where the eggs were.

Even if they did, they wouldn't have the courage to break through thousands or tens of thousands of Green Snakes.

But Shi Xian was different.

To him, the Green Snakes were nothing more than small, valuable experience points.

"Ugh, ugh!"

"What's this?"

"Run!"

Songpa District, Olympic Stadium.

Most of the people here couldn't react to the suddenly sinking ground and met their deaths.

Even if they survived by luck, that was the end.

"Screeee!"

They were torn apart by the Green Snakes that followed.

"Hold on!"

"They're just small snakes! Don't be scared!"

At the Olympic Park, quite a few players had gathered and resisted in their own ways.

Each had unique traits and had leveled up a bit from surviving the first disaster.

These players, now fully formed, were not willing to die easily.

But.

"Kyaah!"

The opponent was not an easy monster.

Green Snake (Green Snake).

A snake-shaped monster with green scales.

Though small, it was not to be underestimated.

Its green skin was tough enough to repel most attacks.

Its four fangs on either side contained a powerful neurotoxin that could knock out an elephant.

"Kraah!"

"Save... me..."

Players were quickly torn apart and died.

Their weapons and skills couldn't penetrate the Green Snakes' scales.

One bite from the Green Snakes was enough to end it.

Their neurotoxin quickly paralyzed the body.

Thud. Thud.

As many players died.

A man in a white T-shirt, comfortable tracksuit, and practical sneakers stepped forward.

'The collapsed department store has surprisingly many intact items.'

The man, muttering this, grinned with his unusually red lips.

"Snake brats."

Flash!

"You're my opponents. Stop tormenting the others."

"Hisss!"

"Shriek!"

Did the Green Snakes recognize his provocation?

They began to crawl toward him.

Sssss.

There were so many that they tangled and climbed over each other.

The thousands of Green Snakes approaching him looked like a green tidal wave.

"When monsters gather."

Crack!

"Do they think they can do anything?"

Astrapae took the form of a giant scythe.

Smaller, but to cut through many Green Snakes at once.

Flash!

...

With just one swing of the scythe, many Green Snakes burned and disappeared.

In fact, the Green Snakes' weakness was the scales under their necks.

Like a dragon's reverse scale, the scales where their jaw and neck met were weaker.

But Shi Xian didn't need to worry about it.

The giant scythe cut through everything, including their heads.

"Screeee!"

That's not all.

Green Snakes were, strictly speaking, 'small monsters.'

Due to the effect of the title [Goblin Slayer (S)], they took about 30% more damage.

Tough outer skin? Weak point?

None of that mattered.

No matter how tough the Green Snakes' scales were, they couldn't withstand Zeus' lightning.

Powerful neurotoxin?

That didn't matter either.

The Green Snakes were burned to a crisp by golden lightning before they could even get close.

"Shriek..."

"Hisss!"

The giant golden scythe swung continuously.

The Green Snakes hissed threateningly.

But none of them dared to rush at Shi Xian.

Overwhelming power.

To the Green Snakes, the figure with the scythe was nothing short of a disaster.

"Snake heads."

Shi Xian's lips curled up.

"If you don't come, I'll go to you."

Whooom.

Flash!

Astrapae swung at twice the speed.

"Screeee!"

Shi Xian's current level was 11.

Considering the significant difference in 'stats' even with a slight increase.

It was hard to gauge how much stronger he had become.

Crack!

Flash!

As Astrapae glowed.

The many Green Snakes around him were burned to death by lightning.

"Kibisis."

Kibisis swallowed all the materials.

The hard fangs, neurotoxin inside, and tough green scales from the Green Snakes were automatically sorted and neatly stacked in the subspace.

"Let's go."

Crack!

While Kibisis swallowed the items in an instant.

After designating the entrance.

Shi Xian threw himself into the pit-like maze that had appeared in the Olympic Park.
