He stared at the list again, as if expecting more items to appear.
Nothing changed.
"…Don't tell …"
A bad feeling crept into his mind.
"All of it… went into this?"
Alan's gaze slowly shifted back to the diary.
A single item.
Priced at one million.
While Alan was contemplating, Sage Sticks ca near gim clearly excited.
"Alan…! I knew you would do it!"
A hero was soone who descended from the heavens.
"Truly a great man…"
It was extrely rare for the High Elf Sticks to praise a human. He smiled as he raised his heated body. The Behen Archipelago had finally been purified after more than a hundred years.
Sticks wanted to rush to the 66th island imdiately and share his joy with Alan.
But he held himself back.
It was because he saw that Alan was lost in deep thought.
"…"
Alan paid his respects to the departed Madra, admired the statues of the forr legends, and felt thrilled seeing his own statue standing among them.
Sticks didn't want to interrupt this mont.
He wanted the new hero to fully enjoy it.
So he waited.
Then—
Fog Island appeared, and a golden carriage erged.
Now!
Seeing Alan approach the golden carriage, Sticks finally entered the 66th island. He hoped Alan would welco him warmly, especially in such a celebratory atmosphere.
However…
Alan looked disappointed for so reason.
"Fog Island and the golden carriage were arrangents made for the growth of those who challenged the Behen Archipelago. Now that the Behen Archipelago has been cleansed, the reason to nurture challengers has disappeared. That is probably why items such as elixirs and books are no longer available."
"Hah… Then why are the only things left the continental movent scrolls?"
"…An average person would be delighted with those scrolls."
Sticks was right. These portal scrolls, which allowed easy travel to the East Continent, were now extrely rare. Alan had the opportunity to secure them in large quantities.
But from Alan's perspective, they were insignificant.
He had Sticks.
Sticks could create intercontinental portal scrolls, so Alan didn't want to waste his points buying them.
"I already told you, it takes a long ti to produce those scrolls. You should be glad to buy them."
"Um… is it really okay?"
Alan's gaze kept drifting back to Madra's Diary.
At first, he had been frustrated and even angered that the special item was just a diary.
But now that he thought about it—
This was Madra's reward.
A direct legacy left behind by the Undefeated King.
And it cost one million points.
There was no way it was ordinary.
Sticks smiled.
"Then buy the diary. Trust your own judgnt."
He acted quickly once he made his decision.
"I will buy Madra's Diary!"
At the sa ti—
[One million Challenger Points have been consud to purchase Death Knight Madra's Diary.]
Madra's Diary entered Alan's inventory.
What exactly was this diary?
Alan wanted to open it imdiately.
At that mont, Sticks bowed deeply to him.
"Alan, I am deeply grateful to you for cleansing the Behen Archipelago and restoring the Hall of Fa, the link that connects the legends of the past and the present."
[Sage Sticks thanks you for fulfilling his wish to purify the Behen Archipelago!]
[Sage Sticks has granted you a new title!]
"You are the hero of heroes—the one who has put the suffering of past heroes to rest. From now on, I will call you the Hero King."
[The title 'Hero King' has been obtained.]
[Hero King]
A hero among heroes. You are a living myth.
The Hero King shines among all heroes. Deals 10% additional damage to all unique or higher-rated classes.
The Hero King stands at the forefront of world peace. Deals 15% additional damage to Great Demons, Archangels, Dragons, and Demigods, and reduces incoming damage from them by 15%.
The Hero King is proud, always striving to be the best and overflowing with fighting spirit.
[Fighting Energy]
A special resource exclusive to the Hero King.
It normally remains at 10, but increases up to 100 during combat.
The higher the Fighting Energy, the greater the stat boost.
However, caution is advised—if Fighting Energy drops below 10, penalties will apply.
Chwarururuk!
With the acquisition of the Hero King title, a new resource bar—Fighting Energy—appeared alongside Alan's health and mana bars.
A translucent purple aura began to rise from his entire body like a haze.
It was the manifestation of Fighting Energy in reality.
"Ohh!"
Sticks exclaid in admiration. Alan was now radiating a fierce yet dignified presence.
On the other hand—
Alan himself showed surprisingly little excitent, despite receiving such a rare and powerful title among billions of players.
It was only natural.
After everything he had already achieved, from Alan's perspective, this was just another title.
But then—
He heard Madra's voice.
—That half-elf… he is cunning.
"What do you an?" Alan asked.
—He just pushed the responsibility of Muller, the forr Hero King, onto you. The Hero King title is powerful… but the Fighting Energy isn't. It will hinder your growth. Even Muller himself struggled because of it.
Madra spoke calmly.
Alan's expression stiffened.
Slowly—
He shifted his gaze to the Fighting Energy description again.
And this ti—
He read it more carefully.
[Fighting Energy]
A special resource exclusive to the Hero King.
…
..
For every point of Fighting Energy, strength, stamina, and agility increase by 0.5%.
"…It's huge."
Fighting Energy normally stays at 10 and can rise up to 100 during combat.
In other words, Alan would always receive at least a 5% increase in strength, stamina, and agility—and in certain situations, it could go as high as 50%.
"…This is almost crazy."
—It may look good, but what will you learn if you continue relying on it?
—It will only hinder your growth.
Madra spoke calmly.
Alan, who had been slightly excited, paused.
"…Sigh… maybe you're right," Alan muttered to himself.
"Then how can I suppress it?" Alan asked.
—You are currently strong enough to suppress it, but it isn't necessary right now. Only when you surpass level 400 will it beco important. Reach that level, and I will teach you how to suppress it.
Madra replied calmly.
Alan nodded.
