Chapter 39: Creator of Myths
-80.000!
The body of the Guardian of Hell fell helplessly to the ground after his health bar was completely emptied.
Xie Feng, who was still on the ground because he could no longer move, watched this with his eyes wide open.
He fought for 10 full hours to get this result. If a person told him he was lucky, Xie Feng will would tease that person and punch him in the face.
Lucky? Okay, he got a little lucky. But who was the person who predicted, reacted, avoided, blocked and resisted the attacks of a monster not only 15 levels above him, but also a monster rank KING?
It was him. Therefore, Xie Feng does not believe that his victory should be attributed to luck. Since he was the one who caused this result.
Xie Feng's plan was simple, as it was the only way he could win.
The Ring of the God of Destruction has a bonus that has only been activated a few times before.
5% chance of causing absolute death.
This effect has a simple function, but it is also the most terrifying function that exists in all video games. That is, if the effect is successfully activated, no matter the difference in level, grade, equipment, amount of HP. If the effect is activated, it means the death of the enemy.
Naturally, this is not so simple.
The higher the level difference, the harder it is to activate the instakill effect. For example, Xie Feng has a 5% chance of instakill to a normal monster of his same level. This means that an average of 1 in 20 hits would be instakill.
Unfortunately, this effect is not very useful for monsters of the same level since Xie Feng can kill them before 20 hits. So, the absolute death effect can be practically ignored most of the time.
But, this effect is terrifying for monsters of higher level or higher rank. Still, it is not that simple since the player must survive a hard battle for a fleeting hope waiting for the effect to be activated.
Xie Feng's plan was simple. Resist and strike.
He believed that the instakill effect would be activated after hitting 15,000 times, unfortunately it was not and he had to hit almost 40,000 times to achieve his goal.
Still, the victory is his.

[Ding!... You have reached level 11. You get +10 HP points, +10 MP points. You have gained 5 status points.]
[Ding!... You have reached level 12. You get +10 HP points, +10 MP points. You have gained 5 status points.]
[Ding!... You have reached level 13. You get +10 HP points, +10 MP points. You have gained 5 status points.]
[Ding!... You have successfully completed the job change trial. Go to the portal to return to the central square of the Beginner's Village.]
[Ding!... Congratulations! The System will make an announcement to all battle zones to publicize your achievement. Do you want to hide your name?]
Xie Feng felt that his head was going to explode when he heard so many announcements. Due to the difference in levels and the grade of the monster, even receiving half the experience he went up a level 3 times!
Leveling up in Samsara Online becomes extremely difficult as players progress, so one can imagine the amount of experience gained by him.
Xie Feng moved his head a bit and saw that a portal the size of a person had appeared next to him. Apparently, after entering the portal he will be automatically teleported to the central square, thus completing his mission.
When he heard the last announcement he wanted to make fun of it, unfortunately, he didn't have the energy. Therefore, with great difficulty he murmured: "No..no hide".
Hide his name? He just fought for almost a whole day! Let the world know about what he did!
Five seconds later.
[World Announcement:... Attention to all Battle Zones! Player 'Shiva' has just successfully passed the exam of change of job Despair Mode. He is the first player in the world Samsara to successfully complete the trial in the Despair Mode. He has received: +5 VIT, +5 STR, +5 AGI, +5 INT, +1 Luck, +1 Charm, a random silver-grade piece of equipment, +200 Fame Points].

After those 5 system announcements, the whole world was silent for several seconds before a commotion broke out.
"What!? Did anyone get over the despair mode? We couldn't even get over the hard mode!". Said one stunned warrior.
"W-wait....more important still...The system only said the name of a player, not the name of a team...that means...". A magician standing next to him suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The warrior and all the others looked at each other with their eyes wide open. They couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"T-that guy...passed the trial alone? No way!".
________________
In another Beginner's Village.
"Hey...old Hu...isn't Shiva the name of Xie Feng?". Asked a young man with a dagger in his hand.
The other young man had a sword in his hand and nodded absently. "It's him...it's definitely him".
The young man with the dagger seemed to come out of his daze and shouted: "Damn! I knew the older brother Xie was the best hahaha damn it, how did he do it?".
Hu Chen came out of his daze by the scream of Xiao Luo. He looked around quickly and saw that people were looking at them strangely.
He covered his friend's mouth and said: "Shut up, you idiot. Now we have to be careful with our words. Do you understand?".
Xiao Luo nodded, expressing understanding.
Seeing that they were still looking at each other strangely, the two left quickly.

[Ding!... You have received a hidden reward. (Title: Creator of Myths)].
When Xie Feng heard the last system announcement he stared into the void, not understanding the situation. In the Samsara Online forum there is no information about titles. From that, he can easily assume their rarity.
Although he can't move his body, Xie Feng made a mental command. Soon, the properties of the title appeared in front of him.
[Creator of Myths: A title given to one who overcomes all odds and makes the impossible possible. Effect of the title: Luck +10 / Fame Points +100 / STR +10 / INT +10 / ????].
Upon seeing the properties of the title, Xie Feng felt that he could not receive any more surprises today.
A title is different from a piece of equipment. A player can only wear one suit of armor, one earring, etc. and all the equipment will be replaced sooner or later. But titles do not occupy slots. In other words, this title gives statistics permanently and for free.
When players create their character they have 10 fixed attribute points to add to luck and charm. The reason why it is called fixed attributes is because players cannot increase it anymore after choosing the distribution of points.
The only exception are extremely hard to find items, as items that increase luck and charm are often dropped by monsters that players cannot defeat unless hundreds or even thousands join in.
In addition to that, the title also awarded 20 status points. Plus the 20 that he previously earned, Xie Feng earned a total of 40 points in less than a day!
Of course, he believes that this reward is well deserved, as the challenge he had to overcome is one that even he, who is a proud and upright man, thought was impossible to overcome.
Furthermore, those question marks clearly show that there is an unknown effect or function.
Temporarily stopping to think about it, Xie Feng put strength in his hands to stand up. Unfortunately, his body no longer responded no matter how hard he tried.
Powerless, he could only put off the drop for later. The items dropped by monsters don't disappear until 48 hours after they hit the ground, so he wasn't worried. In addition, this clearly is a map apart for what neither he was worried about the appearance of other players.
[You will be disconnected in 10 seconds].

[You have been disconnected].
Just as Xie Feng's mind was shutting down, he seemed to hear a woman's voice in his ears, praising him. Still, he attributed this to the mental fatigue he felt at the time and without thinking about it, he logged out for the first time in almost 24 hours.
A few seconds after Xie Feng was disconnected, a voice sounded inside the room: "Interesting. Let me try you out one more time".
If Xie Feng were present he would probably be frightened to see that, on the previously empty throne, a man with black wings was sitting.
