SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 15
Curse of Plague (3)
“crazy.”
Then I remembered, a fatal bug in the sewer quest that occurred in the early days.
This bug, so-called ‘Plague Annihilation Incident’, was a bug in which the ‘Plague’ spread from the Gem of Plague spread to those who did not hold the Gem.
“Is it a problem for you to come too early?”
The reason this bug was known late at the time is that it was only known after quite a while, and it was only known after the 10 plague quests had already been activated or the sewer dungeon was completely cleared.
Even then, every time the sewer dungeon was cleared, the Plague Jewels came out. However, by the time the user who obtained the Plague Gem came to Steroian, the number of people visiting the Wizards’ Guild had decreased, so people did not know the existence of this bug at first.
But now that Rokhan has penetrated a place on the verge of bursting into humans, it was only natural that a widespread contagion had taken place.
“If I died, the infection would stop.”
Rokhan knew this curse quite well. It was a very famous event, and a scholar published papers such as 「The outbreak of an epidemic in the virtual world」 and 「An example of the actual spread of an epidemic」 based on this event and became an issue.
It was only natural that the city was turned upside down as the contagious curse that continuously gnawed at life without being healed by potions or users’ skills until drinking a special remedy spread widely.
“NPCs are… … I should avoid it.”
At least the users did die, but merchants and guild-related NPCs did not die due to the ‘immortality’ setting for convenience, and powerful NPCs of knight level or higher also became ill but did not die, and became a medium to continuously transfer the plague.
At this point, even those who barely survived had no choice but to abandon the city. Even if he barely survives and enters the village, it is meaningless because he cannot contact NPCs.
In the end, The Lord’s rookie system ‘Condor’ came forward and removed the problem by separating the space and dissolving all plague curses at once, but an emergency patch had to be carried out, such as the immortality effect of the merchant NPCs being removed. there was a riot
“The user was not punished, maybe”
Even with such a decisive response, the reason why the controversy remained and talked about was because there was no punishment for the user who abused the bug in the first place. It is true that the bug occurred, but it was only a setting error, and there was no personal fault or malicious intent.
For similar reasons, damage compensation or recovery for dead users did not proceed. This is also part of the progress of the game.
Thanks to this, what was exciting was the sloppy users like a herd of Seungnyangyi. They intentionally transmit the plague, recover their health, and chase after them, and when they die, they spatter with the dropped items.
However, the items and experience points were not restored to the end.
“That is… … I don’t think there’s anything wrong with eating.”
In front of Rokan recalling old memories, the appearance of items floating on dozens of corpses caught his eye.
No one was alive. So, unless you contact the Wizard Guild NPC, you will never get the plague again, and you will not know who took the item.
Lokan, who even thought of jumping out of the window if he went down to the first floor to avoid annoying other users, hurriedly went down and grabbed the items.
Most of the items were for beginners, and even those were only for wizards, but there were a lot of them, so I thought it would make a lot of money if I sold them.
* * *
After I packed everything I needed, there was a riot outside. It seemed that some of the users who were under the curse of the plague went out.
“Aww!”
“How do you do this!”
“Priests! There is no priest class, please clean up… … !”
‘… … You don’t have to hang out with it.’
It got quieter as we escaped some users who were screaming like zombies and making a fuss. It seemed that the curse had not yet spread far.Lokan immediately went around the weapons and armor shops, selling the items. There is no ‘auction house’ in Cton, and the items were not grand enough to be put up for auction.
Item owners would shed tears of blood if they found out, but it doesn’t matter. Because that’s their case.
However, only one of them was not sold and kept.
[Cowardly Wizard’s Ring][Magic]
An escape ring made by a cowardly wizard.
-If you shout ‘Escape’ once a day, you move back 3 meters.
– State of charge: 1/1
– Recharge standby time: 0:00
It was a ring with a survival skill. The only option was a skill, and the rating was only magic, but there were not many items with survival skills, so there were quite a few people who wore them even after raising the level quite a bit.
“Oh, you already got this, but you don’t know its worth yet, so it won’t be a waste.”
If he had lost this, he would be sick and tired, but the lost wizard would only be as excited as the fact that he had lost a magic grade item. The control is still weak, so you won’t even know how to use it properly.
But he wasn’t himself. For Lokan, the fact that one of the survival skills that the melee class lacked was filled meant that an extra life was gained.
“Thank you for writing.”
Lokan thanked the stranger and moved his body again.
“Let’s see, I told you to spend the empty money”
Next is shopping. With the money accumulated thanks to an unexpected windfall, Lokan enjoyed shopping for items.
He bought some fabric, stocked up on bandages, filled with detoxification candles, potions, and food, and also bought a few throwing hatchets and armor that he didn’t want to buy yet.
However, in the case of armor, we focused on options rather than defense. Even if the defense is poor, the equipment with additional strength, agility, stamina, and stamina stats was purchased first. As a result, I didn’t spend much money.
“If this is enough, I’ll probably use it up to level 50.”
In terms of defense, you have to change it every time you level up, but in the case of armor with options, it was quite usable up to level 50.
Anyway, good defense and options were both expensive and difficult to obtain. However, it wasn’t that the ability was raised by several dozen.
‘now… … Let’s splash.’
Having finished preparing like that, Rokhan hurriedly left the city.
It was because he could not even guess how far the curse of the plague would spread this time.
He wasn’t planning on going back, at least until Condor realized the severity and went ahead with an urgent patch.
“In three days… … That’s good.”
It was three days later that I decided to meet Steroian again. Exquisitely, three days was a time that perfectly matched his plan.
* * *
“Let’s see. The cemetery… … It was east.”
The place Lokan found was a cemetery located to the east of the village.
That’s weird. The cemetery was just a cemetery, and it was already confirmed that there was nothing there.
There were countless people who came to see if there were any undead monsters to hunt, but it was concluded online that none of them were rescued and that it was just a background.
‘That’s what naive people did.’
But Rokhan had a different idea. No, it wasn’t an idea, it was information.
The information he knew would not be revealed until a month or two later than at this point, so it was natural for others not to know.
“found.”
As soon as Rokhan entered the cemetery, what he was looking for was someone else’s prosthetic leg.
[Gravekeeper’s Prosthetic Leg][Normal]The footless cemetery lost prosthetic leg. I think you’ll like it if you bring it.
The prosthetic leg of the cemetery guards the cemetery. It’s a jap item that no one cares about now because it’s only kicked out and not rewarded if you find it and bring it back, but Lokan smiled and picked it up. And he found a grave instead of a graveyard.
“Here you are.”
Click. drizzle rumble.
What he was looking for was a small grooved headstone.
When the cemetery’s prosthetic leg was placed in the groove, something strange happened. The tomb was opened and a staircase appeared.
[You have discovered the secret dungeon, ‘The Graveyard Under the Moon’.][Awesome achievement! I applaud your insight in discovering the hidden secret dungeon for the first time.][You have acquired the title ‘Searcher’.][You are the first to acquire this title.][First][Explorer][Rare]You have the talent of a seeker who has unraveled the hidden secrets with your keen senses and unique insight.
[Hold Effect]– Increased visual acuity.
-[Night Vision] effect to correct vision even at night.
-Low chance to discover hidden devices.
In addition, it has acquired a rare-level title.
Vision correction and night vision were good, but the hidden device discovery probability option was also honey. If there’s a hidden device nearby, there’s a low chance, but a flashing light will let you know.
This means that you can discover hidden devices or places even if Lokan is not aware of it.
“Good.”
Satisfied with the simple but quite helpful options in the long run, Lokan happily entered the dungeon.
[You have entered the secret dungeon ‘Cemetery Under the Moon’.]Kugugugung!
As soon as I entered, I heard a loud noise from the direction I came in.
The road you came from is not gone, but the road coming in from the outside is closed. Because secret dungeons are only allowed to enter once by individuals or parties.
Of course, if you find a prosthetic leg that must have appeared somewhere in the cemetery again and open the door, you can enter, but until then, no one would know that there is a dungeon here. It wasn’t a secret dungeon for nothing.[Increases the experience gained by 30% for three days as a first entry bonus.][The drop rate increases by 30% for three days as a bonus for the first entry.]
Afterwards, the privilege of first entry was granted.
First entry bonus for three days.
During the three days of free time that was given to him, Rokhan was planning to suck the honey properly here.
“Then, shall we go get some honey?”
There was only darkness where he didn’t know what was inside, but Rokhan didn’t care and strode out. Because of his night vision, he didn’t even need time to acclimatize to the dark, but he knew the torch would soon be lit.
Whoops!
As we walked a little further, like magic, a torch on the wall lit up and a passage appeared.
The road was made by digging a tunnel and it was wet, so it felt like a cave, but it didn’t matter to him at all. The atmosphere just seemed like a ghost would pop out at any moment, but it didn’t mean that his abilities were being reduced. The only reason that Rokhan was afraid of ghosts was that he couldn’t cut them.
“Oh, it’s not a ghost, but it’s similar.”
Thunder Thing!
As if he couldn’t be a yangban, soon the main characters of the dungeon appeared.
[Old Tomb Skeleton][Lv 25]It was an undead called a skeleton, or skeleton.
“What kind of undead are those who can’t even reproduce!”
Yes, the materials were poor and they had been made for a long time, so they were not able to use their power properly. There was no regenerative ability, a unique ability of the undead, and the rusted weapon was clunky.
Quick!
Lokan rushed forward like crazy, and a single blow smashed the guy’s skull.
The skull was split in two with a dull sensation. This was also one of the reasons Lokan came to this place. It can’t be a match, but the taste of the hand is worth using.
“Ouch!”
Rokhan swung the orc battle ax horizontally with the legs of the old tomb skeletons attacking one after another. Thanks to his incredible strength, his feet were cracked or his bones were broken.
Pop pop pop pop!
Enjoying the pleasant sensation of his hands, Rokhan shredded the bones of the skeleton of an old tomb.
There were five opponents, but it was a meaningless number to Lokan.
[You have leveled up.]As soon as you catch five, five more. As soon as the smashing was done without any sign of exhaustion, the effect of leveling up appeared immediately. Drop items are poor, but it is a characteristic of the Undead to give more experience than other races.
In addition to the initial bonus, the effect of the Noh Oh yeoyeokga title, and a significant level difference overlapped, the level that others had to work hard for several hours to raise was jumped up in just one minute.
“This is fine.”
Lokan’s level was now 21.
Raising a level like this is not easy even with a party, so it would have been terrifying for the general public to see it. But for Lokan, all of this was as natural as breathing.
Rather, Lokan gradually increased his speed as if to loosen his body and began to advance into the depths of the dungeon.
And in just 10 minutes, he managed to capture a third of the dungeon.
