Lucius pressed his choice of stat point information. Then on the system's blue screen status window in front of his face, a caption appeared.
[STAT POINT INFO]

[MP: 100/5000]

[MTL: 10/150]
After reading the information caption, Lucius curved a small smile. His guess was right about something hidden in the centipede monster's body.
"Woah. Where did you learn that?" Kaylee, who was sitting beside Lucius, looked at Lucius unexpectedly.
Lucius' breathing was irregular as he sat against the wall. He rested his strength after the short battle just now.
"I'm just trying not to see from one point of view," Lucius answered, so calm amidst his tiredness.
Kaylee smiled faintly. "That's right. The quest is really tricky. It turns out that there are still new sub quests that appear late."
Lucius did not answer. He looked outside the shop. The shop's two glass walls had already been shattered, as was the loosened entrance. From here, Lucius could see the remains of the battle with the centipede monster.
The highway looks chaotic. Shards and abandoned cars were damaged after crashing into electricity poles and walls everywhere. Lucius didn't expect that he actually started from the beginning of the game round.
"So, the safe zone in question is a hiding place, and we are asked to defend ourselves while we are fighting monsters," said Kaylee.
Lucius nodded his head in approval. "That's right. I thought it would be strange to have to find a safe zone in this large area of a city.
"Also, how will you defend yourself while searching for the safe zone if the centipede monster has such strength?"
Actually, Lucius knew that strategy was not a coincidence. Lucius still remembered the plot of the game round he had passed.
But of course Lucius couldn't tell the truth to Kaylee. Or to anyone. Because right now, Lucius couldn't trust people.
Especially after witnessing how people were so selfishly seizing stat point and skill enhancing potions.
Lucius swung one arm back to bring up a blue screen status window in front of his face. On the home page, Lucius gets three choices of options.

Then Lucius pressed the option for skill points info. The status window display then changes.

For a moment Lucius watched the information skill. He had just gotten one skill from the results of the battle. I don't know how many skills Lucius will get later.
Now Lucius switched to checking 'Player Info'. The blue screen of the status window changes display again.

[SKILL LEVEL: Underground]
Underground. Which meant that Lucius' skills were still very low—the lowest tier.
Lucius took a deep breath. He didn't expect that he actually repeated the round of the game. Even though Lucius thought he was dead after the last round of fighting.
Why was Lucius given the success to come back to life?
"Hey, look at this!" Kaylee suddenly clapped Lucius' hand.
Startled, Lucius turned his head quickly after closing the status window's blue screen from his face. He saw Kaylee showing a cellphone screen that displayed a video display.
"It's not you, Lucius? Look. Why is your video on Vtube?" asked Kaylee in an excited tone.
Lucius was curious. In a sitting position, Lucius leaned closer to look at Kaylee's cellphone more intensely. In the video, there is a man who is fighting a centipede monster. But the man's face blurred.
The title of the video is 'A Man Succeeds in Eradicating the Centipede Monster in the City Arena'.
Lucius was stunned for a moment. There is no pride in him. Indeed, his face is blurred in the video. But Lucius was not the least bit pleased. For some reason Lucius was suddenly stricken with anxiety.
"What if the other townspeople find out about this?" Lucius spontaneously muttered, and his voice was heard by Kaylee.
The direction of Kaylee's eyes moved to Lucius. Just like Lucius, there was concern on Kaylee's face.
"Are you uncomfortable?"
"Of course," answered Lucius. "Yeah, but at least my face is completely blurred out in the video."
Kaylee pulled back her cell phone after feeling that Lucius had finished watching the video.
"But the people here who witnessed you of course know it was you, Lucius."
Kaylee's words were answered by Lucius through a nod of the head in agreement. Lucius could already tell that the people here, who had witnessed his fight, would be able to guess who the person in this video was.
Then shortly thereafter there was a notification notification on the status window. A system blue screen appeared in front of Lucius' face.

Lucius frowned. There was an option 'Player Information' on the bottom right side of the system blue screen in front of his face. Because he was too curious, Lucius then pressed the 'Player Information' option.
Then a new view appears.

Lucius curved a small smile. On the one hand, he is happy to see the total points increase. But on the other hand, Lucius couldn't know what people would do who realized that someone in the video was him.
"Hey, you're famous!" Kaylee patted Lucius on the shoulder repeatedly.
Awakened from his reverie, Lucius looked again at Kaylee's cellphone screen. In the special comments column, there are several accounts that invade the comments column. Give their comments and admiration.
[Culvert Rat: Hey, he's great! How did he know that the monster's body contained a skill enhancing potion?]
[Empty Account Only: Even though the first round alone has hidden the riddle. That man managed to realize the hidden trap.]
[Screw Scientist: He's cool, I wish I could be like him]
Kaylee immediately curved a sparkling smile. "Wohoo! You seem to be getting recognized by internet users!"
Unlike Kaylee who looked enthusiastic, Lucius didn't show the slightest bit of enthusiasm. Lucius then turned his face forward, anywhere, as long as he wasn't watching the embarrassing video of himself.
"Nothing interesting. I'm afraid that the video will only bring me harm," Lucius said flatly without any expression.
The town had been quiet and calm since the battle with the Centipede Beast two hours ago.Lucius and Kaylee decided to go to a tavern some distance away. The surroundings of the tavern never reached the Centipede Monster. Therefore, here, the condition is much safer.Lucius and Kaylee chose to sit in one of the corner seats by the wall. Directly facing the window so Lucius could look out of the tavern.Compared to the city arena where he had fought against the Centipede Monster, this city arena was much tidier. Lucius thought it was fun to find a place where there weren't any bodies lying around.There's also no trace of a gruesome fight left."Excuse me, sir, miss, what would you like to order?"Lucius flinched slightly. But he refrained from looking at the waiter and pulled the hood of his jacket even tighter. He pretended to act like someone was sick, clasping his arms folded across his chest.After the video incident of his fight was spread, Lucius did not want to show his face. H
Lucius had not yet had time to digest the events that were unfolding.Before Lucius really understood the meaning of the quest sentence that had just appeared, suddenly someone knocked on his desk twice.Lucius and Kaylee's attention was raised. Both of them looked up, realizing that someone who had come to their table was the waiter who had delivered their order earlier.The waiter's face had turned flat, much different than when delivering food. He immediately grabbed Lucius' hand to make Lucius stand up."Hey, why are you grabbing my hand?" asked Lucius. Not harsh but firm.The maid removed the apron she was wearing, showing a name tag.Lucius read the description of the name tag on the maid's body.[Colonel John Attreas]"Colonel?" asked Lucius between surprise and confusion.John Attreas nodded his head. "You got the message?" he asked.Lucius was even more confused. He saw another man whose body was more robust approaching Kaylee. The man was wearing army clothes, had a serious
[WELCOME TO CONTROL CENTER, PLAYERS! WE WELCOME YOUR ARRIVAL WITH A LOT OF LOVE]Lucius didn't understand what was going on.After he was forced to agree to the army men's invitation, Lucius and Kaylee were taken to a magnificent building. The shape of the building from the outside is like a stadium. The difference is that this building is not open like a stadium, but is closed but with a soaring roof.From the lobby floor, anyone can see the second floor to the fourth floor. While the fifth floor onwards was closed off, it couldn't be seen from below.Lucius and Kaylee were just passing through the lobby floor. The elevator they took moved to the twelfth floor. Then came the view of the wide room. When going inside, this room has two open floors.The second floor divider of this room is hip-high glass for an adult. On the right Lucius could see about five people in predominantly black suits with a bit of white trim at some points.On the left Lucius saw about six people in suits pred
TOWER CENTER.[SYSTEM HAS OFFICIALLY ACTIVE]Lucius was slightly surprised as the system's blue screen lit up in front of his face. But the shock only lasted for a moment.[WELCOME TO THE CENTER OF THE TOWER,PLAYERS 018! YOU ARE CHOSEN TO BE PART OF THE GAME!]The greeting came from the sound of the system's blue screen echoing in front of Lucius' face.Now, Lucius and Kaylee along with a bunch of other humans are already in the tower building. Its height soared almost to the sky so that Lucius was repeatedly amazed.If I recall, this tower had indeed been visited by Lucius during the first round of the game. But Lucius had reached the highest level in a long span of time. So Lucius had slightly forgotten how it felt to see and step on the floor of this tower.[YOU NEED TO COMPLETE GAME CASES AND COLLECT POINTS LEVELS, STAT, AND SKILLS][TAP FOR INFORMATION DETAILS]Lucius' forehead creased in astonishment. He read the description written on the system blue screen status window box.
Looking for the Key to Open the Door to the Second Floor of the Central Tower Building.Simple quests. Maybe that's what the people around Lucius and Kaylee thought. Lucius noticed very clearly from the reactions of the other players after they got the quest.Unfortunately for Lucius, quests like this were prone to traps.There was no slightest clue for where the key to the door to the second floor of the Central Tower building.There was no notification what monsters they would face.No one knows, behind the fortress walls that surround these five buildings, what traps or dangers are hidden.And, after all, looking for one small object among five large buildings is like looking for a needle in a haystack.Lucius reread the keyword on the skill needed to do this quest: knowledge of logic.'The time when I ran this first round, I was too fool to realize the keyword was in the skills required,' Lucius said to himself.Lucius' grin curved. In the not too distant future, Lucius must solve
A tense situation ensued when the players scrambled to climb the fort's walls.Ever since Lucius had given Kaylee instructions to speed up the wall-climbing movement, the two of them focused their gazes on the door. The color of the door is vague. That's why Lucius hoped that no other players would quickly notice.'In a minute,' Lucius said to himself. 'Come on, Lucius, catch the clock!'Beneath the players, the piles of scorpions and black crabs were already growing. Nearly half of the castle walls were covered in creatures that were piling up on each other."Hey, you two! Where are you going?!" A player, a mature man around thirty years of age, called out to Lucius.Lucius turned to the grown man. His face grimaced as he held his own weight. He hesitated to answer the man's question."You, young man! Are you trying to win alone?!" The grown man spat out curt words. His tone almost sounded like swearing.On the other hand, Lucius and Kaylee looked at each other. They both didn't know
Lucius thought time was running out to face the monsters on the second circle of walls until he could enter the territory of the five towers. But apparently, after facing the goblin monsters who were blind and slow moving, Lucius was able to arrive at the arena of the five towers.In front of the central control tower, Lucius tried to catch his breath. He managed to get the key hanging from the monster goblin's pocket.Remembering a few minutes ago, when the goblin monsters who were blind and slow moving had wandered about, Lucius arranged the pebbles. Deliberately so that the goblin monsters that came were tricked by the amount of pebbles.The obstacles were much easier than facing the black crab and scorpion monsters."Lucius, let's open the tower door," Kaylee said beside Lucius.After calming himself down, Lucius nodded his head. The players who didn't get the key were waiting for him. But they look still shocked by the incident that they passed a few moments ago.Without caring a

Not only in front of Lucius's face, but also Kaylee and the other players.They all did not immediately enter the building. Lucius, who almost forgot about his mission, then tapped on the blue system screen according to the instructions.Then the blue system screen in front of his face changed appearance.[NEW SKILLS UNLOCKED!][LOGICAL KNOWLEDGE][6 Points/50 Points — Lv. 0/Lv. 10][AGILITY][8 Points/50 Points — Lv. 0/Lv. 10][DEFENSE][6 Points/50 Points — Lv. 0/Lv. 10]Lucius then pressed the screen once again, then a second change of appearance appeared.[CONGRATULATION!
