Chapter 60

Bae Sarang watched me with a subtle expression as I returned with light steps that felt like I was floating on air.

“Bathroom…did you have a good time?”

“Haha! Yes.”

I had deleted the legendary pet Kashim Drake and the legendary gatekeeper Awakened Thunderbird. Then, I restored them!

‘It actually worked!’

This completely shattered the balance of power—it was a game-changer.

‘Wow, at this rate, conquering the flower shop might be possible sooner than expected?’

By deleting Kashim and Thunderbird—precisely speaking, sending them to Ardenia—and requesting restoration, I received the [Roaring Drake Kashim (Legendary) Summon Card] and the [Awakened Thunderbird (Legendary) Summon Card] back! After repeating the process with Kashim again, the original cards remained in my Revenge account while two drakes and an awakened thunderbird stayed in Ardenia.

Next month, they would be restored again.

“You seem to be in good spirits.”

“Ah…yes.”

“Did you delete any items?”

“Ah…yes?”

As my excitement subsided, I realized how I might appear to the chairwoman of Nemesis Soft sitting across from me.

I mentioned feeling pleasure when deleting items and suddenly rushed to the bathroom, returning with a big grin on my face?

Moreover, she was the head of Nemesis Soft, so it was possible she knew that I had deleted legendary pets and gatekeepers while in the restroom.

In her eyes…

This guy must be completely obsessed and crazy about deleting items.

There was no way to clear this misunderstanding.

‘I need to continue deleting items to bring them to Ardenia.’

Indeed, anyone observing my actions would find them suspicious.

In truth, this behavior would raise suspicions for anyone. The assumption that I aimed at the ceiling was rather cute. What if they suspected me of being a Nemesis employee or attempting to hack the system? It might sound absurd, but spending millions and then throwing it all away is even more illogical.

Thus, I needed an excuse to justify my abnormal actions—and there’s no better justification than “just because.”

“Oh, well…it’s somewhat embarrassing. My chakra has reached a certain level where I experience immense joy when valuable items are destroyed or vanish.”

Her gaze softened as she initially perceived me as mentally unstable, but my calm response seemed to alleviate her concerns.

“Ah, it seems like a side effect of training… I heard that chakra can have a significant impact on one’s mind, but…”

“Haha. Perhaps I delved too deeply into my training. However, despite this state, I couldn’t bring myself to destroy or burn actual physical objects in reality. Therefore, I chose items from Revenge that hold substantial value yet cause minimal harm when destroyed or eliminated.”

Honestly, it sounded far-fetched. While it was true that chakra could influence a cultivator’s mental state, had anyone ever encountered such a peculiar psychosis before? Nevertheless, human minds are inherently complex. If I assert this convincingly, others might believe it as well.

‘Of course, if it were truly criminal behavior, eventually, the truth would come out.’

However, this isn’t a lie.

I genuinely felt pleasure from it. How could I not feel satisfaction from empowering people with items and building influence? Even if others didn’t experience this joy, there was no need to call upon a disciple of Truth for verification since I hadn’t harmed anyone. Some game characters might suffer minor setbacks, but Nemesis benefited greatly overall. As the leader who reaped these advantages, Sung Sangmoon would never view my actions negatively.

As expected, she nodded with amusement. “It is unique…heh heh. Well, thanks to you, our guild has gained significantly. As the chairwoman, I am truly grateful.”

“Haha. It’s nothing.” While speaking, I observed Sung Sangmoon closely.

I sensed her attention wavering. She seemed to lose interest in this conversation, likely considering leaving soon. Although skilled at controlling her emotions, she couldn’t deceive me, having interacted extensively with nobles during my time in Medieval Land.

She seemed to have lost interest in this meeting and was ready to leave. While she appeared adept at controlling her emotions, having dealt with many nobles in Land of Midgard, I could tell when someone was trying to deceive me.

“Well then, if you’ll excuse me…”

“Could I ask a favor?” Sung Sangmoon looked uneasy at my request.

“I’m sorry. As chairwoman, I can’t give any special favors to one user. When registering our company with the gods of justice and truth, we promised—“

“It’s not something that would harm anyone. Do you perhaps have items that cannot be traded or used…items solely for deletion purposes? It would be best if they vary in rank.” Meeting her today was an incredible stroke of luck for me. This opportunity might never come again, so even if it meant bending some rules, I had to seize this chance.

“Ah, that…” Sung Sangmoon’s expression became subtle. Normally she would refuse but this request was too ambiguous to firmly reject.

“I will delete it as soon as I receive it.”

“Well…this is… Hmm. I can understand the side effects from training but…”

Sung Sangmoon tapped her finger on the table before nodding.

“Well, it isn’t easy but there aren’t any problems with it. Instead, I will keep the recording file of our conversation. Do you agree?”

“Of course. Thank you.”

“Really…you have suffered a lot. Please continue using Revenge in the future. Also, look forward to tomorrow’s meeting.” Sung Sangmoon got up and left the restaurant.

I resumed eating again. Then when I was full…

“Meow.”

One mail arrived from Revenge.

-Altagra Helmet(Rare) has arrived.

-Altagra Gloves(Hero) have arrived.

-Altagra Chestplate(Legendary) has arrived.

-Commander’s Sword Esgard(Mythical) has arrived.

”…!”

I clenched my fists tightly.

‘Crazy! A Mythical sword!’

After finishing the meal, Cheeda and I ran towards the teleportation gate. My heart was beating wildly with excitement.

Pop!

We passed through the teleportation gate and immediately returned to my room where I whispered:

“Login.”

Hwiiiiooo!

The warm suite transformed into the chilly royal library, but I ignored it and looked at the item description.

Commander’s Sword Esgard (Mythical)

Weapon Damage +55

Hit +66

Additional Damage: +45

Critical Hit Chance: +15%

Skill Damage Amplification: +35%

[Transcendence Weaponry]

[Defeating Sword]

[Transcendental Four Spirits]

Material: True Orichalcum (Undamaged) (Divine)

I couldn’t calm down with excitement. What if I had this Mythical equipment along with legendary pets and gatekeepers? Even without the full effect due to my lack of Mythical class, it would still drastically increase my combat power!

Pop!

I took out Commander’s Sword Esgard. It was too huge, making me feel like I was holding onto a surfboard rather than a sword. However, the power contained within…!

The power!

”…?”

There was no power contained within.

“Huh? What is this?”

In that moment of confusion…

Crack!

A single crack appeared on the beautiful blade.

“W-What? What does this mean? Is it a special effect of the Mythical Sword?” For a moment, I couldn’t accept reality and started to babble.

Crackling!

Banging!

The Commander’s Sword Esgard shattered into pieces, turning into dust and scattering away.

”…”

I watched with a blank expression as the sword disintegrated. Even the hilt in my hand disappeared.

“Is it because they are myth items?”

Next, I took out the Altagra Chestplate (Legendary).

Crack!

Once again, cracks appeared before it crumbled. The same process repeated with the Altagra Gloves (Hero) and Altagra Helmet (Rare). If even Hero and Rare items were affected, it meant this phenomenon wasn’t related to item grades.

“Oh no…” I groaned involuntarily.

‘No matter what, this can’t be happening…’

When I first obtained this ability, I didn’t dare to consult with Revenge because I thought it might be a result of their mistake. However, as the capabilities of Revenge gradually deepened, I began considering other possibilities.

‘This power is too immense for just a game company to handle. Even…the Game Master, the god among gods, wouldn’t find it easy to create such abilities. It’s inconceivable that they would grant me this power and then leave me unchecked.’

Despite initially being virtually powerless, I now possessed combat strength surpassing even Completed Beings, and this was merely the beginning. The potential for growth seemed limitless. As my spending continued unabated, the situation became increasingly absurd.

I wouldn’t just be powerful in Ardenia but also a monster capable of performing in a space war filled with flying battleships and giants pouring out.

‘Actually, it would become even more absurd if this happens.’

In fact, I had been thinking about this for some time now. How much could the abilities from Revenge, this game, manifest in reality? The items in Revenge were balanced because it was an MMORPG played by numerous users. However, these items were ultimately just fragments of data. Couldn’t anything be attached as text?

For example:

Transcendent Ultimate Sword (Transcendent Ultimate)

Weapon Damage +9999

Hit +9999

Additional Damage +9999

Description: Once grasped, you will obtain the power to divide dimensions as the god of the universe.

In other words, such items could exist. If Revenge was an overpowered game with ridiculous items, would they actually be implemented?

‘It doesn’t make any sense.’

That is, no matter how absurd it seemed…there were systems and rules governing this game’s abilities.

And my inability to summon the ‘[Deletion]’ item gifted by President Bae Sarang meant…

‘That only items recognized within Revenge can truly exist.’

It pained me to see the Mythical Sword flying away before my eyes, but I gained even more important information. Now that Nemesis wasn’t aware of my abilities, I could move more aggressively.

“What about that!” I rose from my seat with a bitter smile. “It is only possible if there is money!”

I had already transferred all the books from the mage tower and moved to work at the royal library. The library of the Chrom Kingdom was quite large but…in the end, I only needed to copy the novel, so there were less than 100 volumes remaining.

‘Of course, this was also heavy, which meant I had to stay until everything was copied.’

However, now the situation was different.

“Whee!” Holding a box containing 100 books, I exited the royal library. As soon as I entered the spacious garden, the monsters nearby discovered me.

“Grrr!”

An elite monster circled over the capital city of the kingdom where it was pouring rain. The fierce yeti (rare) growled at me, and monsters started to gather from all directions due to its sound.

Stomp! Stomp!

Whiooooh!

Goddesses, yetis, ice golems, high elementals… It was a festival of elite monsters numbering in the thousands! Even for me, this scale couldn’t be ignored but instead of fear, I opened the pet window.

[The Roaring Drake Kashim (Legendary) has been summoned!]

Kuuong!

A massive drake appeared out of thin air. Its enormous body, stretching dozens of metres, seemed sacred due to the pure white scales covering it entirely.

I read its description:

[Roaring Drake Kashim (Legendary)]

An old drake who was fed by his children rose up with anger after seeing the Altar Forest destroyed and his offspring slaughtered by monsters. Then he roared. After that, no monster or adventurer dared to enter the Altar Mountains due to the sleeping violent guardian within it.

Automatically collect dropped items within 300 metres of radius.

[Divine Roar]

[Rising - Ruler of the Sky (Legendary)]

“Krrr---.”

This wasn’t an ordinary drake. It wasn’t easy for even a powerful drake to be ranked as legendary.

In addition, I should remember that among both whales and cash cows, it was rare to obtain the awakened Thunderbird as a gatekeeper. Kashim was special even among legendary pets. The probability of obtaining him was less than one-fifth compared to other legendary pets.

“Whee!” Holding onto the wooden box, I mounted the spacious saddle on Kashim’s back.

Dudududu!

“Kuaaang!”

The monsters were approaching! Instead of urging Kashim to fly into the sky, I patted his back and spoke:

“Cry, Kashim.”

At my words, Kashim raised his long neck towards the sky.

Gooooo…

A white sphere started forming in his mouth, as if he was about to unleash a breath attack.

“Grrr…”

“D—i—e—!”

“Oh, the goddess can speak.”

The monsters were suddenly right in front of us. Instead of spitting out the sphere as breath, Kashim swallowed it whole.

[Kashim’s Roar!]

A line of text flashed by,

-KRAAAAAAAHHH!

An incredible wave of light burst forth, sweeping away all the incoming monsters.

“Kek!”

“Kyaaack---!”

In an instant, all the monsters disappeared.

-Hwoooooosh!

-Tudududu!

-Crunk! Crunk!

“Wah.”

Items poured down like rain and filled my inventory immediately.

“Amazing. Really amazing.” After confirming the Divine Roar (11 hours 59 minutes remaining) icon on one side of my screen, I patted Kashim’s back again.

“Let’s go home now!”

Fluttering!

At my command, Kashim bowed deeply and then leaped forward.

Boom!

I wondered why this flying pet was so thick, but as his massive legs propelled him into the sky, his shining white wings spread wide open.

“Graaaah---!” He let out a regular roar, starting to head northward.
