Chapter 14: Achievements
(TN: Sorry. It seems Tudor is female. Yeah, I was overthinking stuff. Will correct everything about that. Sigh.)
*****
[You have saved a human corrupted by the fluid of the Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young! This is an astonishing feat that no one in this world has ever attempted. Beings from the abyss have witnessed your accomplishment. While some entities may have taken interest in you, others felt anger, but you remain undeterred, focusing solely on your principles.]
Principles or not, I was just trying to complete a quest. About 40% of it was just curiosity to see how far I could go. Anyway, these messages keep pushing this narrative that Im acting for some righteous cause I cant figure out what they want.
[Remarkable Achievement Unlocked! You have banished the power of the Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young and reverted a heteromorphic being back to human form. You have earned the Mythical Achievement: He who insulted the Abyssal One.
As a reward for this achievement, you will gain the hidden trait Secret Knowledge: Life Creation and additional experience points.]
Suddenly, an outrageous reward came my way.
The phrase He who insulted the Abyssal One bothered me a bit, but the reward for it was a hidden trait.
Hidden Trait [Secret Knowledge: Life Creation].
This is the first time Ive seen such a trait. Wow, did something like this exist?
As [Secret Knowledge: Life Creation] activated, new knowledge I had never known before began to emerge in my mind.
Now, if only I had the materials
Humans can also be made?
What is this immense knowledge? I had no idea such things were hidden. My actions were merely aimed at completing a request, yet I received an unimaginable reward.
Im not sure yet how to use this knowledge.
Creating people for what purpose? Moreover, the necessary materials are utterly absurd.
[You have accumulated enough experience points to advance to the next level. Your level increases by 1.]
[You have defeated the fixer Lee Chang-hyuk.]
[You have defeated the Mutant. Your understanding of the gods improved.]
[You have accumulated enough experience points to advance to the next level. Your level increases by 2.]
[Discovery: You have acquired a secret item (1). Experience points gained.]
This must be a reward for obtaining the fluid of Shub-Niggurath Though I planned to return it, the separate experience points were a pleasant bonus.
[You have accumulated enough experience to advance to the next level. Your level increases by 1.]
Was I now level 14? Normally, it would have been difficult to even increase one level against such a trivial foe But thanks to the strange things he did, my level went up a lot more than I expected.
The experience points from the quest rewards hadnt come in yet, so perhaps by the end of tonight, I might reach level 15.
All I had to do was go back to Caf Vasilisa and hand over Lee Chang-hyuk and the body fluids to Tudor and it would all be over.
Ah, theres a place I need to visit first.
The place I stopped by before returning to Tudor wasnt anything extraordinary.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
It was the chaotic mess of Lee Chang-hyuks motel room.
Although the situation had been resolved, it was resolved so quickly that the motel owner still hadnt returned.
The motels guests had evacuated to the lounge, forming a crowd, but
Since I had blasted through the wall with my magical power at the end, I was able to sneak in without going through the lounge.
I dont have much time to search.
In this lawless neighborhood, reporting to the police was futile as they wouldnt respond quickly.
Perhaps it would be even faster to pay brokers extra to hire a fixer?
Nevertheless, it was quieting down and the curious onlookers were beginning to gather outside.
All I needed to do was find one thing and leave. I laid Lee Chang-hyuk, who was wrapped in a straitjacket, down and searched the room.
He wasnt dead, but he was completely unconscious and likely wouldnt wake up for several days.
Ah, there it is.
I found the security bag that Lee Chang-hyuk had thrown earlier.
Inside itI placed the [Black Goats Body Fluid] extracted from Lee Chang-hyuk, turning it into the [Artifact: Security Bag with the Test Subject] which was originally the object of the request.
Weve closed for regular business today.
I dont think youre telling me to go back because youre done for the day, right?
Thats right. I wanted to have a comfortable chat with you, so I chased out all those nosy gossip-lovers. Come in, dear.
Tudor led the way and chattered in a cheerful voice. She seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood.
Lee Chang-hyuk is in that bag, I assume? You didnt disassemble him, did you? Orb! Come here and take the bag!
Hes still alive inside the bag.
Orb with his large monitor instead of a human head approached me and took the suitcase.
As I handed over the suitcase containing Lee Chang-hyuk and the security bag, a quest completion message appeared.
[Despite the absurd and unexpected situation, you used your amazing wisdom and profound magic to solve the problem and arrest the evil criminal Lee Chang-hyuk. Many have started to take notice of your actions. Tudor, the broker youre contracted with, has developed a deep fondness for you. Expect more requests and rewards from her in the future.]
[You have completed the quest!
Reward: 50,000XP (+the monetary reward promised by the broker is separate)]
[You have accumulated enough experience points to advance to the next level. Your level increases by 1.]
[You have reached level 15! As a level achievement reward, you receive (1) bonus stat point to distribute freely.]
I allocated the bonus stat point to charm as planned.

Dear, are you okay?
Tudor slightly bent forward as she looked at me with her big eyes. I couldnt really feel it while sitting, but Tudor was very tall, roughlyabout 1.9 meters? Yet, despite her height, every aspect of her physique was ideally proportioned, leaving no room for awkwardness. She seemed more like a perfect embodiment of a goddess from a fantasy. As expected, her charm score of 20 is not just for show.
However, apart from her high charm score, there was a strong presence and an intimidating air about her. Its possible that she has the blood of a non-human race mixed in, but the game provides no details on that, so the specifics remain unknown.
I waved my hand dismissively at Tudors gaze.
Im fine. Just lost in thought for a moment.
Even though shes a witch with remarkable abilities, Tudor, like any other character in the game, cannot see message windows or status screens. Does that mean shes merely a character within the game?
Tudor wore a worried look for a moment as if concerned about my mental state, then broke into a bright smile. Her expression does change effortlessly.
I was expecting some sensational news~, but wow, you handled it in quite the noisy way, didnt you?
Were you watching?
Thats not true. But given the absurdity of what happened, its not surprising that I know. The incident was already making the rounds on the brokers network.
*****
(TN: The reason why I assumed Tudor was a male was, well, cuz of the name Tudor. The reason why Im assuming shes a female now, because of the term beauty/beautiful woman(). And the term goddess (). Which is gender-specific
If youre confused about why Im still not sure about the gender here, its because compared to English, Korean has a general absence of gender-specific pronouns.)
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
