One rank of difference was an entirely different world. The gap between Grandmaster and God-tier wasn't just about power—it was like comparing a beggar to a billionaire. The reality was brutal: what looked like a simple "+1" on paper could mean years of grinding.
"First of all," Dawei muttered to himself, "do you think the game will just give players territory that easily? And even if you get one, developing it costs a fortune. As a broke player? Pass!"
His logic was spot-on and brutally honest, directly stabbing at the pain point in his heart. Without hesitation, his gaze fell on the remaining Grandmaster-level skills. Only three were listed.
[Sacred Resuscitation] — a support skill focused on healing.[Burst Step] — increases movement speed drastically.[Absolute Accuracy] — boosts hit rate and precision.
A solo player by heart, Dawei had never aspired to be a healing bot. His style was about direct confrontation, not supporting from the backline. He remembered the chaos during the Jugutra fight—he had nearly failed the mission because his speed, enhanced by a potion, became too hard to control.
Sometimes, too much speed can kill you.
So, he focused on Absolute Accuracy instead.
[Absolute Accuracy]: Passive Grandmaster SkillEffect: Permanently increases precision and hit rate by +10%.
At first glance, the skill looked underwhelming—too bland compared to other flashy abilities. Dawei hesitated. A 10% boost? Really?
"But +10%… that's not the same as times 10%. It's flat." Dawei frowned, thinking deeper. "That's… a little too clean."
Confused, he turned to Diosse for guidance.
The sage chuckled. "The simplest things often bring the greatest results."
It sounded like a vague old-man proverb, but Dawei caught the hint. The simplicity was the point.
A multiplier like x10% only affects your current base. But a +10% boost meant your cap just permanently increased—no matter what. That's the kind of advantage that stacks without limit. That's how mortals become legends.
If his base hit rate was already 90%, then +10% made him… perfect. Not even needing to aim. He could close his eyes and still land every shot. It was like having auto-aim turned on in a hardcore PvP world.
More than that—if every skill required accuracy to function at peak potential, then this wasn't just a buff to one ability.
It was a buff to everything.
It reminded him of another item he had—Jugutra's Wrench.
[Jugutra's Wrench]: SS-rank EquipmentNo equipment slot required.Passive Effect: Increases your Engineering, Forging, Machinery, and Alchemy levels by +2.
In the usual path, players had to spend countless hours to rise from Apprentice to Master in crafting classes. But with the wrench, Dawei could instantly hit the God-tier level once he hit Master. That's what this skill could do—let him reach a divine threshold other players could only dream of.
Absolute Accuracy wasn't pale. It was perfect. It didn't just break the balance—it shattered it.
All skills needed precision. All enemies had dodge or resist mechanics. With this, those no longer mattered.
"This is it," Dawei whispered to himself, eyes gleaming. "The thunder hidden in silence. The beauty hidden in simplicity. Forget choosing between one god-tier or many—I'll take this and turn it into countless god-tiers."
He didn't hesitate. With a confident swipe, he learned Absolute Accuracy.
[System Prompt: Grandmaster skill "Absolute Accuracy" learned.]
The moment the reward was claimed, Diosse handed the Doom Badge back to Dawei with a mysterious look.
"Take this badge to the Bounty Guild," he said. "It may lead to unexpected results."
[System Prompt: New location unlocked – Bounty Guild.]
Dawei looked down at the badge in his hand, its eerie glow subdued now. It had once been a cursed item, the symbol of a fallen knight. Now, it was a key to something new.
Before he could ask more, Diosse spoke again.
"The darkness is fading. The curse is lifting. Soon, the light will return to this land."
[System Prompt: Scene reload initiated… Estimated time: 3 hours.]
Dawei grinned.
Nothing else to do for now. He logged off with a wide smile.
Next time he logged in, he wasn't just coming back…
He was coming for God-tier.
