Spectre Set
‘A madman, what a madman!’
Seeing Rui’s amazing skills, everyone couldn’t help but stare with open mouths, with the ends twitching. They’ve seen crazy Rogues, but they’ve never seen a Rogue as crazy as him. This Rogue was soloing a Boss; is he really a rogue?
Even a Knight wouldn’t dare to be this confident, right? What’s most unbelievable was not only was he taking damage while holding the Boss back, he was also doing abnormal damage (DPS) to it.
When one thinks of a Boss, they would relate it to something of a strong existence that can only be defeated by teamwork. However, what is with the situation right now? A Rogue, widely known as a melee glass cannon fodder, has the advantage against a Boss in a 1v1 fight!
‘Damn, was this game cheating? How does one play a Rogue like that?’
“Dammit, dammit, dammit…”
Halief, who was being suppressed by Rui’s strong and incessant attacks, shouted in rage. However, he had used all his strength earlier to use the “Strike of Honour.” He was now feeling weak, and was being pushed back. It was only a matter of time before Halief is defeated.
Rui ignored Halief’s loud and tenacious yelling while the dagger in his hands danced and dealt vicious blows repeatedly, causing Halief, who was already on the verge of death, to nearly die.
“…K…ri…s…”
As Rui cleanly sliced across his throat, Halief’s long HP bar was finally depleted. Before he was died, he glared towards Ronnie, then looked at Kris. Resenting yet cherishing, with a voice filled with both hate and love, he called out her name.
“Halief!”
Seeing Halief dying, Kris’ tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Ronnie also looked upon his erstwhile companion with mixed feelings in his heart, as he tenderly embraced Kris’ head into his chest, not letting her to look upon the scene anymore.
“Ding!”

Getting 250 thousand experience caused Rui to shoot up 2 levels to reach level 12.
“I choose Option 2!” Previously, Rui had chosen to add his stats to be more like a Warrior since he was still in the newbie village. However, now that he was able to leave the village, change classes, and get new skills, naturally he would start adding his stats befitting of a Rogue.
To replace the Agility he had not previously added, Rui did not hesitate to place all 10 of his recently gained stat points into Agility, causing his Speed to increase by 1.
“He is indeed worthy of being a Final Boss. That was some experience.”
The rest of the party had risen to level 10, and Yezekael said in admiration as he walked over to join Rui with his face filled with happiness.
Originally, he had expected it would take them at least 2 more days to reach level 10. This was an unexpected, unbelievable efficiency. Being able to enter the city a step ahead of other players would bring him great, almost inestimable, profit.
“This time we really have to thank Bro Sly Hand. Do let this ‘little brother’ know if you have any good deals like this in the future.”
Upon hearing Yezekael’s words, Rui smiled without saying anything. He had brought Yezekael and the rest into the Lost Mines because he wanted to repay the goodwill debt of the one gold coin they loaned.
They seemed nice, so he had taken them in as temporary partners in game. To him, who was used to being a lone wolf, especially one with such power, it was normal to have a business partner. Since he found them agreeable, why bother finding another partner.
As for Yezekael calling himself ‘little brother,’ Rui just accepted it. He couldn’t really be bothered with names, as long as he himself wasn’t the subordinate.
Nodding, Rui walked over to Halief’s corpse, and retrieved the loot that had dropped. There were 6 pieces of equipment, 2 tattered scrolls, a book, and 8 gold coins. Definitely a bountiful harvest!
Roughly checking out the equipment, Rui found only one Gold equipment, while the rest were Silver.
“This… Isn’t this the Guardian Set? It has unexpectedly changed into the Spectre Set.”
Looking at the equipment in Rui’s hands, Ronnie walked over and said in surprised.
“Guardian Set? What’s that?” Rui asked.
“That’s a set of equipment that only those who have risen to become a true Knight can wear. After all these years, Halief’s resentful aura has caused it to warp into this, even changing its properties and lowering its stats. What a shame.” Ronnie shook his head and said with a sigh.
“It’s stats have been lowered? It’s already not bad. After all, they are Silver equipment; they are already better than what I am currently using.” Rui said with a smile.
“True. Although these equipment have been corroded, their effects are still not bad. Then, let me help you appraise them!” Ronnie said while smiling.
“Oh, you can appraise equipment?” Yezekael and the rest were surprised, while Rui only gave a faint smile. Since Ronnie’s father could appraise equipment, it wasn’t a surprise Ronnie had learnt the trade as well.
“Of course, that is my ancestral technique.” Ronnie laughed as he took the equipment from Rui for appraisal.

Such a powerful sword definitely lived up to its name as a Gold equipment. In the hands of a strong Warrior, it would be a disaster to the current players who were currently considered fragile in comparison. One Rage Blow would instantly kill most players, or at least bring them to the verge of death.

Seeing this set of equipment, Yezekael drooled in admiration. These items were already pretty good individually, without counting the fact that they were a full set of gear!
Thank you!
Thanks!
Every time I see him choose 5 stat points over 6 I cringe. Especially when he decides to start switching his focus.
Couldn’t agree more. It’s baffling how a guy who dodges with the difference of millimetres doesn’t understand how a single point can make all the difference. He even noticed his game body couldn’t keep up with his mind, yet fails to use this simple opportunity to strengthen it just a bit more!
He’s a noob 😀
We were all newbies once or twice in mmo’s. At least he has an assassin training in RL to compensate, if we could put our life experiences as pratical abilities in games, I would probably end up as a npc bar onwer so at least different from him we mortals are called the true noobs
it’s exactly that !! why whould he choose 6 if he’s just gonna get 3 in agi and 1 in str ? not worth it
It’s not necessarily bad, sure if he chose the +6 every time he would have higher total points, but if he chose to really focus his stats, like he did with his speed this time, he can specialize his character greatly. It’s like, a warrior doesn’t need mages stats, and a mage doesn’t need a warrior’s stats, so why take that point that basically goes to waste when you can lose the point but then be able to build your character as you need it?
Look at chapter 2 and you’ll see these are the 4 major stats:
STR: affects striking power
VIT: affects health, health regen, and Physical DEF
AGI: affects dodge, speed, and crit rate
INT: affects MP, MP recovery, and Magical DEF
Yes, you can get an individual stat higher if you focus solely on it, but that doesn’t mean he should ignore VIT or INT. Given his low level, It is almost guaranteed that he will eventually need to distribute some points there to increase his health and mana pools.
He’s already op and his main problem is his game body can’t keep up with him, but kinda agree since even with 0 critical rate he will still have 100% critical. Doesn’t need strength much cuz poisons and items give him tons of damage, and his dodging is his defence, so and int is pretty useless on him, so his way is better, like most sins in an mmo
Thanks for the chapter.
seriously? he of all people chose 10 free stats instead of 12?
he could have get +2 stats on the other and +6 on AGI
even if he wanted to spend it all on AGI, he could have just take 1 auto and 1 free distribute. that way he got +1 stats for the other, and +8 on AGI.
The link for the previouse chapter (chap 45) isnt working
so he chose to get +10 agi instead of, +2 all stat and +4 agi, so many writers just don’t get that pure dodge is suicide, i dare you to go play a mmo and put all of the stat points into agi, i would understand if he had skills that did (10-50 dmg) x (agi stat) or smthing. ARK LN was crazy i mean all of his stat distribution was so horrible, he could have like 4k str and deal x4 more dmg but no plot saved him.
So No one is touching on the fact that it took over 250k xp to lvl up 2x get to lvl 11? That xp system is inflated like fk… it will take him like 2-3mil to go from lvl20-21
I gotta say personaly I liked this story early on maybe the first 20 chapters after that it’s been downhill… especially these last 20 chapters
when does he start his school life though? wonder how badass he will appear in school
