The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

As soon as Ryu Min opened his eyes after the 13th round ended, the first thing he did was look for his younger brother.

“Having breakfast?”

“Huh? Hyung! You’re safe again this time. I’m so relieved. I was getting worried since you weren’t waking up.”

It was already 10 a.m., and Ryu Won, who had been too hungry to wait any longer, had decided to make breakfast himself.

“I told you not to wait.”

“But how can I not worry? Every time I wake up and you’re still asleep, I keep refreshing the community board to see if the other players have woken up.”

The community Ryu Won referred to was an anonymous forum where posts related to players were shared. It was the best place for ordinary people to get information about players.

“So, you’re getting information from there? Checking whether it’s time for me to return or not.”

“Yeah. People like us, ordinary folks, don’t know when the round will end.”

‘Well, that makes sense,’ Ryu Min thought. The end time for each round varied, so ordinary people had no choice but to wait without any idea when it would finish.

While Ryu Min understood his brother’s concerns, he couldn’t reveal the end time of the next round. If word got out because of his brother, the existence of the Prophet might become public knowledge.

“You’re not posting anything about me in that community, right?”

“Of course not! I’ve never even left a comment.”

Seeing his brother speak as if he were wronged, Ryu Min felt reassured.

“That’s good. Anyway, don’t worry about me. Does it make sense for a Prophet to fail a round?”

“But you’re constantly fighting monsters, so of course I’m worried.”

“Did you forget? A year ago, I handled that school bully, Bang Tae-kyu, with my bare hands.”

“But he was just a regular person. The posts on the community board say the monsters are unimaginably strong.”

“And I’m pretty strong too.”

“By the way, has it really been a year since that happened?”

Ryu Won suddenly felt a strange sensation. Back then, the world was in chaos with 1.8 billion people abducted, but now, life has settled into a kind of normalcy.

He felt it too. Initially, he stayed up all night, anxious about his brother, but now he was sleeping and eating as usual. He still worried, though.

‘Who’s worrying about who?’

Reading his brother’s thoughts, Ryu Min let out a chuckle, then extended his hand with a serious expression.

“Hold on. Don’t be alarmed.”

“Huh? What are you doing?”

A light emanated from Ryu Min’s hand, which was absorbed into his brother’s body.

“What did you just do?”

“It’s a protective measure.”

Ryu Min had just cast the Hero’s Protection on his brother. Now, even if someone ambushed Ryu Won, a 10-second invincibility would activate, and Ryu Min would be notified instantly, allowing him to react.

‘I’ll have to stack up Hero’s Runes again. There’s no rush, though. I’ll get the chance in the 16th round.’

Smiling, Ryu Min sat down at the table.

“Get me some food too. Let’s eat together.”

“Okay.”

After finishing the meal with his brother, Ryu Min returned to his room. Lying on his bed, he stared at the ceiling, organizing his thoughts.

‘I’ve already leveled up my mercenary rank to master level. I’m ready to hunt the dragon.’

After killing the archangel, Ryu Min continued his hunt quests and reached master rank. However, there hadn’t been enough time to hunt the dragon, so he had to wait for the next opportunity.

‘The 17th round is when I can enter the fantasy world again. I’ll hunt the dragon then.’

Next, he pondered what he could do in reality. The first thing that came to mind was creating the God-Tier weapon.

‘Now that I think about it, I should get started right away.’

Opening the crafting window, he began placing the materials one by one.

[Main Material]

– Corrupted God’s Claw Scythe

[Sub Materials]

– Condensed Ether x2

– Black Iron Powder

– Adamantium Plate

– Core of Magic

‘Good thing I bought the God-Tier weapon materials from Hymer in advance.’

Fortunately, two archangels had appeared, so he had gotten the ether he needed.

‘Could things really be going this smoothly?’

Smirking, Ryu Min pressed the craft button.

[Crafting God-Tier item…]

[The item will be adapted to your current class.]

[Crafting successful!]

[You have created ‘Thanatos’ Black Scythe.’]

[Thanatos’ Black Scythe]

– Type: Weapon

– Grade: God

– Attack Power: 4,444

– Effect: The width of the scythe can be increased by 5 times, and the length can extend up to 20 times. However, damage will be distributed among the number of enemies within range. Additionally, the weapon deals magic damage equal to 100% of the wielder’s intelligence.

– Durability: 20,000/20,000

– Requirement: Master Rank and above

– Description: A weapon crafted using the divinity of the God of Death, Thanatos. Set bonuses are applied when wearing the full set.

It was an upgraded version of his previous claw scythe.

‘This is way better. The old one only had 666 attack power and could only increase in size by 5 times.’

Now, the attack power was 4,444, and he could extend the scythe up to 20 times. If the scythe started at 2.5 meters in length, he could stab enemies 50 meters away.

It was also useful for wiping out groups of enemies by widening the scythe’s surface area.

‘The damage might be spread out, but that’s actually a good thing. I’m ridiculously strong now anyway.’

Compared to the previous rounds, Ryu Min had grown exponentially stronger. His growth had skyrocketed ever since he killed the archangel Remiel.

In hindsight, he slightly regretted not killing the archangels earlier.

‘Had I known this would happen, I should have tried killing the archangels sooner.’

This was the first regression where he had killed an archangel. He hadn’t expected to gain this much advantage from the demon’s blessing.

‘Back then, my focus was just on clearing the rounds, not on taking on archangels.’

The first archangel he encountered was most likely the current rank 1, Michael. It was no wonder he hadn’t dared to challenge him back then.

Remiel’s unexpected appearance had forced his hand, leading him to kill the archangel.

‘What’s done is done. I can’t avoid fighting the archangels now. But I need to act carefully, not recklessly.’

This was his last chance, so he had to be cautious in every move he made.
