The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player
Chapter 73: Compilation Of The 5th Round's Result (2)

As soon as Ryu Min woke up, his brow furrowed. Sunlight streamed in through the window, and checking the time, it was 10 in the morning. Ten hours had already passed.

Stretching to ease his stiffness, Ryu Min’s gaze fell to the floor, where his younger sibling lay, asleep as if he’d passed out.

“This kid… must have been really worried.”

A smile unconsciously graced Ryu Min’s lips. Most likely, his brother had stayed up all night, fretting because he hadn’t woken up.

He could tell even without looking at the video. It had been the same during the previous rounds.

“Won-ah, wake up.”

“Hmm? Hyung?” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ N0vᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Ryu Won looked as if he’d been drenched with cold water when he realized Ryu Min was awake.

“Hyung! You’re up!”

“Yes, I’m up.”

“I was so worried when you didn’t wake up!”

“I’m sure you checked if I was breathing.”

“Still!”

For Ryu Won, his sibling was not only his sibling but his only family. Even though he had heard the warning beforehand, worrying was only natural.

Ryu Min knew this, so he chuckled and ruffled his brother’s hair.

“You brat. But it’s nice to see you care.”

“Why are you like this! My head hurts!”

Though his brother grumbled, deep down, he was relieved that his sibling had returned safely.

“If you haven’t eaten yet, let’s have breakfast. I’m hungry.”

After enjoying a meal of Jjajangmyeon, Ryu Min returned to his room. He had work to do.

“The Combination Panel.”

As the Combination Panel appeared, he moved the materials he had acquired from Round 5 into the slots. His goal was to create a unique item, no less.

[Main Material]

Reaper’s Scythe

[Sub-Materials]

Orc’s Heart

Mysterious Wood Totem

Corroded Arrowhead

High Orc’s Molar

-(None)

In the main material slot, he placed the Reaper’s Scythe, a weapon he intended to reinforce. Naturally, he removed the low-tier orange-grade gemstone embedded in the scythe.

“If I press the Combination button like this, the weapon should be enhanced into an epic item suitable for my rank.”

Even if it wasn’t a weapon, combining it with the item he wanted to enhance and the remaining materials would result in an epic item. However, Ryu Min had something more valuable in mind: the Black Gold Ore they had swiped from Hwang Yong-min.

“Incorporating it with the Black Gold Ore will allow me to enhance it to a unique item, not an epic one.”

In the last slot among the sub-materials, he placed the Black Gold Ore.

As they pressed the combination button, a dazzling white light burst forth.

[Combination successful!]

[‘Death’s Side’ has been created.]

Finally, he had crafted the Unique weapon he had longed for.

“Now, I’ve finally outgrown that beginner’s weapon.”

He couldn’t help but reminisce about how long he’d used that simple tool.

“Now, with all this extra gold, should I invest in some common skills?”

The store offered four common skills:

1. ‘Area Scan’ allowed them to perceive their surroundings like a mini-map.

2. ‘Enhanced Vision’ elevated their sight beyond that of an average person.

3. ‘Basic Resistance’ boosted resistance to abnormal status effects by 15%.

4. ‘Dexterity’ enhanced skill accuracy by 20%.

With 220,000 gold at his disposal, he could afford to learn them all.

“I would still have 140,000 gold left after purchasing all the skills.”

After perusing the store, nothing else seemed worth buying at the moment.

“Besides the Epic items coming up in a few days, there doesn’t seem to be anything else worth purchasing.”

While money remained unused, it wasn’t entirely without purpose, thanks to the trading function.

“First, let’s organize those mana stones.”

He combined the mana stones in his inventory into lower-grade ones and inserted them into his required equipment.

After donning the entire set, he opened his status window to review his stats.

[??? : Unlocks when reaching Lv60.]

[??? : Unlocks when reaching Lv99.]

All his stats now boasted three digits. This was his base stat with only the Rune of Balance buff.

“If the Rune of Slaughter is applied, it’ll double, right?”

When combined with Min Juri’s buff and bless, his strength would be unmatched.

“Alright. I’ve reached my full potential for now. It’s time to advance with my plans involving Ma Kyung-rok.”

He needed to utilize Hwang Yong-min.

‘How’s that guy doing? I hope he survived as planned.’

Considering he had always survived up to Round 5, he assumed he was alive, but just to be sure, they used the Tracking skill to search for him.

“Tracking, Hwang Yong-min.”

[Face and name match. Tracking the target’s location.]

Seeing that tracking was possible, it was certain that he was alive.

“Thank goodness. I can make more use of him now.”

He had planned to use Hwang Yong-min to the fullest, but beyond this point, it was unrealistic.

‘This is the last time I’m going to use him in real life.’

Hwang Yong-min would never know.

That his fate rests so heavily in the hands of the shuttle that had once tormented.
