The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 4: Start Of Round One (1)

Chapter 4: Start Of Round One (1)

[Random Rune Fragment]

Classification: Consumable

Grade: Unique

Effect: Acquire a random rune skill

Usage Limit: Level 1 or below

Description: This is a special event item created for players. Dont save it, use it, because you cant use it after leveling up.

[As you can see, the Random Rune Fragment is a one-time-use item. It can only be used when you are at level 1, and its the only unique item that is given to you at the beginning.]

People looked at the angel with curious eyes as she explained the item.

Only Ryu Min, who heard this explanation multiple times, maintained his composure.

I dont know what this is all about yet. I dont even know how to use this item or what a rune is. Someone said.

Rune is a consumable item that can sometimes be obtained when you defeat monsters or complete quests.

If we think about it in terms of video games, its like a kind of passive skill.

When you use a rune, it will be inscribed on your body and you gain the corresponding ability.

Of course, the more runes you have, the better.

There is no limit to the number of runes you can obtain.

Thats assuming you can get a lot of them. Ryu Min thought.

Since the drop rate of runes is comparable to that of unique items, its not easy to obtain them.

In reality, its difficult to even get 10 of them in 20 rounds.

But thats just for ordinary people.

When I last regressed, I had 30 runes.

As a rare class, and with many runes, Ryu Min became overwhelmingly strong.

Although he had to suffer being wiped out before entering the boss room and without even showing his true abilities.

This time it has to be different. Its the last chance, so I have to grow overwhelmingly more than any other regression.

Not just 30 runes, but 50, 100, and more.

He had to acquire them frantically and become unbeatably strong.

When you hold it in your hand, say use in your mind to activate the item.

As the angel explained the usage, the runes in peoples hands disappeared one by one.

Use.

Ryu Min also used it, and the rune fragment shattered with a crack sound.

[You have used a random rune piece.]

[Congratulations! The Rune of Time Reversal has been obtained!]

[The acquired rune is automatically engraved on the players body!]

Despite the rune being engraved, Ryu Mins face showed no sign of excitement or anticipation.

He knew what message would appear in a moment.

[The remnant of the runes power is left in the players soul.]

[The engraving has failed due to the nature of the rune.]

Engraving failed.

It was the expected result.

If it had been successful, Ryu Min would have been able to infinitely regress.

I knew it wouldnt work, but its still disappointing. I think this would truly be my last regression

When he first regressed and used again the rune piece, Ryu Min thought to himself that he might get a different passive skill.

But it didnt happen.

I also tried using it at different times, like with time intervals or just before leveling up, but the result was always the same.

It was always the Rune of Time Reversal that came out as if it had already been predetermined.

Thats why I kept failing to engrave it.

However, his situation was diff others, he didnt think of it as a loss because he still had the experience and knowledge from his 99 regressions.

But then something unexpected happened.

[Confirmation of being the 100th Time Reversal user through the remnant of the runes power engraved in the soul.]

[Acquisition of the title Last Time Reverser.]

What? A title?

Although the engraving had failed, he obtained a title.

This was the first time it had happened, so Ryu Mins face showed a brief moment of confusion.

Is this a title given only to those who reach 100 regressions?

It seemed that the system had realized that it was his last regression from the remnants of the accumulated runes.

A new title had been registered under the none section.

When Ryumin lightly touched the title, an information window appeared.

[Title Last Time Reverser]

Acquisition Condition: Use the Rune of Time Reversal for the 100th time.

Effect: When you die, you can stay in a ghost state for one minute in the same spot. You can revive with full health at any desired time within that one minute. The title disappears after one-time use.

Resurrection?

At first, Ryu Min didnt understand the difference between titles and runes.

After all, both gave passive effects.

But now, he knew better.

Titles were a higher concept than runes.

Theyre even more effective than runes and harder to obtain.

It was a clear advantage. After all, he had acquired such a title instead of a rune.

Moreover, unlike runes, titles could be shown off by simply thinking about them, causing them to appear under your nickname.

However, its better to keep the title of the Last Time Reverser hidden.

Of course, his ability would still work even if he didnt reveal his title.

Resurrection, huh Ive obtained an incredible ability, havent I?

Even Ryu Min, who had gone back in time a hundred times, had never heard of a title with a resurrection ability.

While the Priest job can use resurrection skillsIve never seen it used with runes or items.

In fact, it was a higher-level ability than the resurrection skill that only restores 30% of ones health.

Although the title disappears once you use it, so what?

In a situation where theres no way to go back any further, the ability to resurrect was a godsend.

Have you all engraved your runes?

The angel asked, and people nodded their heads.

Some had pleased expressions on their face, possibly because they had obtained good runes, while others were frowning.
