Nameless King

Wain was surprised to see so many reports that he had received a Title. Before, he had only occasionally received one Title, but now he had four at once.

“Huh, so that’s what it means to kill a Legend.” Wain muttered, smiling and blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth.

He wasn’t worried about his condition since he could heal himself. He could use Flaming Healing Threads and quickly heal even very serious wounds.

Wain could hardly move, but he had the strength to activate the skill. He had stored up some energy and was about to do so, but suddenly several projectiles flew in his direction.

Some of those who saw the battle from afar ran here right after it was over. They wanted to kill Wain and take all his time. They acted like scavengers, and their strategy was nasty but workable.

‘Fuck!’ Wain exclaimed to himself and tried to dodge, but his body wouldn’t listen. He was exhausted and seriously wounded. In this situation, even potions wouldn’t help quickly.

Crackle.

However, when the projectiles were about to hit Wain, a blue barrier appeared in front of him. Then his body glowed brightly, and he slowly flew upward. He didn’t understand what was happening, and neither did his attackers.

They tried to break through the barrier, but they failed. The closer their attacks got to the barrier, the weaker they became and eventually dissipated completely.

As Wain soared above the clouds, they realized that their target was gone, and they had missed their chance to become challengers.

“Damn! What the hell is this?!” Shouted one of them.

“Looks like we won’t be able to get a million minutes together that easily. That’s disappointing.”

“Damn, we need to hurry. There are only seven seats left!”

They had to run away and try to get a million minutes to be one of the contenders.

…

“Where the fuck am I going?” Mumbled Wain with difficulty speaking.

He was lying on a big cloud that was slowly floating in the sky. The island was below, and Wain could clearly see everything going on there.

“Huh, looks like the island decided to save me.” Wain muttered and activated the skill.

Dozens of threads of fire pierced his body, his flesh and blood scorched, and he felt intense pain, but with it a pleasant warmth. Wain could feel himself getting better and his wounds healing at a tremendous rate.

He could only use this feature once every three weeks, but it was worth it. He should be ready for the next phase and be full of strength.

Wain slowly rose and looked around. His cloud was quite small and in the center was a symbol – II, which meant that he was second.

“I am second… But, then, where is first?”

He didn’t see any people on the neighboring clouds and thought it was more likely that he could descend from them back to the island. He was already one of the contenders, and he didn’t have to worry about time, but he could continue killing monsters and collecting souls.

“Okay, it’s time to see what I got after killing a creature with a Legendary soul.” Wain uttered and opened the description of the first Title.

[Slayer of Goliath

You defeated a creature that was many times your size. This is a worthy feat, for you did not retreat but continued to fight and eventually won.

*When fighting enemies that are at least ten times your size, your defense and attack are increased by 10%. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎

*Creatures that are twice your size or more will be afraid of you, and their defense and attack and defense will be reduced by 5%. This effect does not affect all creatures].

“Not bad.” Wain muttered, he was pleased.

This Title was useless in most battles against members of other races. However, against some monsters, it would be the best solution to win.

[Contender

You collected a million minutes and became one of the contenders on Merge Island. You proved that even time is not an obstacle if you have enough power.

*You have become a contender and have the opportunity to advance to the next stage.

*You have gained access to the Merge Island safe zone.

*You gained access to the Merge Island Time Store]

‘Hmm? A time store? What is that?’ Wain thought, and suddenly the space in front of him distorted.

A door with a picture of a clock on it appeared and opened. However, Wain didn’t go in and waved his hand, after which the passage disappeared. First, he wanted to see a description of the remaining Titles and then visit the place.

[Defeating One of the Four Kings

You defeated Mordarat, Bone Terror, one of the Four Kings of Merge Island. To accomplish such a feat, you must have power beyond your limits. A mere human could never achieve such a level and ability. One of the four Legendary Souls now belongs to you.

*All attacks against creatures with dragon bloodline are enhanced by 10%, except dragon absolutes.

*Resistance to all attacks against creatures with dragon bloodline increases by 10%. Except for dragon absolutes.

*All stats on Merge Island increased by 10%.

*Attack power against creatures with majestic status increased by 5%]

“Oh, that already sounds a lot more serious than the previous two Titles.” Wain smiled and moved on to the last Title. He didn’t know why, but this Title was signed as Unique, which was odd.

[Killing the Legend

You killed a creature with a Legendary soul. Not many people know this, but getting the Legendary Soul is not easy. It’s not enough to be strong or have powerful skills.

You must either surpass the limits of a living creature or have historical significance. Your personality must be great.

*When fighting a creature with a Legendary Soul, your attack power increases by 25%.

*You intuitively sense the creature’s Legendary Soul presence, even if it tries to hide it.

*The side effects of a creature with Legendary Soul’s suppressing aura won’t work on you if it’s strong enough.

There’s no telling what path you’ll take, but you’ve proven that the limits are nothing more than a boundary you can push back if you want to.

*With Legendary Souls, no limits are limiting your power also. All Legendary Souls you get will be at least Whole status.

To kill a great and powerful creature means to take a part of the influence on yourself, like a reward or the burden of the winner in mortal combat.

*Stat ‘Majesty’ has been gained.

*Majesty increased by 1]

Every time Wain read another effect of this Title, he was surprised, but the latest reports stunned him.

He was unaware of any stat other than the existing five. Moreover, there are no limits when using Legendary Souls opened new possibilities for him.
