Chapter 245
S-class...
Only those with exceptional luck and exceptional talent had a chance of achieving it—possess both, and a young genius may reach S-class within a single decade of grinding S-grade gates; but lack either, and one could spend decades of arduous grinding and never reach level 100.
For this reason, it was common sense that young players were lower-level. This wasn’t discrimination or prejudice but a widely accepted statistic.
Jae-Hyeok, however, flew in the face of this logic.
[You have defeated the Twilight Orc Chieftain, Daruchan!]
[Your level has risen by 5.]
Not five months after awakening, Jae-Hyeok had already risen to level 126.
Such was the result of killing higher-level monsters and players alike. For him, every week was a struggle to survive. In such an abnormal environment, Jae-Hyeok wasn’t surprised by his abnormal growth.
Even so, looking back at his myriad System achievements, there was no pride; Jae-Hyeok only felt wistful—if not for his father’s fall and his duties as an aristocrat, Jae-Hyeok would’ve preferred a normal life over his abnormal power.
Iyargut flickered across Jiang Lei’s throat, from which blood gushed wildly.
Jiang Lei’s eyes bulged as his mouth worked silently, his voice drowned by the blood filling his lungs.
After Daruchan’s death, rather than focus on Jae-Hyeok, Jiang Lei had prioritized killing the other orcs. After all, Twilight Orcs were a rich source of experience, and based on Jiang Lei’s past hunting experience, killing multiple of them in short order might earn him an achievement.
