Re-Awakening: I Became a Pay To Win Boss Monster Chapter 163: Boss Monster Upgrade, And Preparing To Set Out

Chapter 163: Boss Monster Upgrade, And Preparing To Set Out

A few days later.

***

The spies were all caught within the hour, and unsurprisingly, none complied. Most even took their own lives at the first sign of trouble.

That was why his constructs simply killed them and continued their patrol around the forest.

As for Rael, he had collected all his money and stats earlier, and by now, a hefty sum had piled up.

•—Balance: 1,404,613,220 Trell—•

It isn’t increasing by a lot… but it will soon…

Of course, that was not all, as he saved the best for last.

He just beca a little more overpowered. As for the passive, it wasn’t as great as he expected.

It was nice and all, but most of his skills were instant cast. They couldn’t be interrupted by anyone.

Premium Seal [Special-Unique]

—Spend currency to lock away an enemy skill, boss trait, or dungeon effect. Sealing duration increases with cost.

Premium Spirit Companion [Special-Unique]

—Call upon a spirit companion from the spirit realm. Rarity is determined by the money invested. (One-Ti Use Perk)

Premium Roulette [Special-Unique]

—Spend currency for a randomized temporary high-tier boon, buff, or item. Equal chance to receive a powerful curse. Results are unpredictable but always impactful.

Shit. Good. Fuck off. Rael swiftly deduced his options.

The first was nice, as he could seal a skill for so ti. However, his Premium Override had a similar function, so it was just not worth it.

The second perk was great, and he could actually get a companion based on the amount of money he spent.

Plus, it was a companion from the spirit realm—a realm that had limited information, even back when he scoured every piece of lore he could find.

And then finally, the third perk, which was just the system telling him to go lose his money.

It’s definitely not terrible. But flipping a coin whether I’d beco overpowered or crippled isn’t exactly sothing I’d like to do mid-fight, Rael thought and selected the second perk.

Nice… Rael smirked. He was prepared to use it here and now; however, he heard a banging on his door.

He tilted his head, put so clothes on, and approached, opening the door swiftly.

It was a robed Zafira with her beautiful bed hair, yet she still seed sleepy.

However, without her even uttering a word, Rael swiftly purchased a cup of coffee and an energy drink before handing it to her.

“Thank you… you’re a lifesaver,” Zafira muttered, and took a sip of coffee. “Is everything alright? You seem a little on edge.”

He flinched. “You noticed…”

“Of course I did. We’re the only two people living here, and we spend most of our ti together. I can even tell what you’re thinking right now,” Zafira replied with a warm smile.

Rael raised a brow. “What am I thinking then?”

“Oh… how I would love to pin her do—”

“Okay, you can stop there.” Rael cut her off with a sigh, earning a giggle from her in response.

“I’m just kidding~” she teased. “I like how flustered you get even though you always know what I’m about to say. It’s cute.”

“You’re cute.” Rael corrected, and moved aside as the widely smiling Zafira walked into the room and sat on his bed.

“Are you ready to head out?” Zafira asked, twirling the coffee in her cup. “It’s today, right?”

“It is… but did you really manage to find a replacent?” Rael asked. “You do know those barbarian hunts usually take days, right?”

“I know, that’s why I’ll have Evelyn on the forefront,” Zafira announced. “I’ll have Linlin watch over Evelyn in the anti since she seems pretty reliable.”

Reliable my ass… Rael sighed.

Linlin and her sister were supposed to co back a few days ago, but they only ca back late last night.

And her explanation?

Translation:

Anyways…

“But Evelyn… why her?” Rael asked, puzzled. “I thought you assigned her to be a commander of the royal guard.”

“I did, but she’s much stronger than everyone else, so she has nothing to do,” Zafira explained. “That’s why I simply told her to sit on the throne, fill a few docunts, and that’s it. No strings attached.”

Rael sighed, then sat beside her on the bed.

“Are you sure you want to co with?” Rael asked one last ti.

The hunts were harsh, and he didn’t mind going solo. After all, he’d get a barbarian companion that way.

However, Zafira nodded as she glanced straight into his eyes.

“I’m not backing out of this, Rael. I’ll be coming with you, finishing that trial, and helping the people alongside you,” she stated in a determined tone.

Noticing this, he couldn’t help but place his hand over her head and gently pat it.

He kept patting her head until she finished her coffee.

When she did, Zafira went back to her room and got dressed. In the anti, he headed back up to the throne room.

After all, today was an important day.

•—Official Launch—•

Ti until V1.0 Release: 121 Days

It was the last day of the beta test, and in less than 24 hours, all the players would get kicked out.

Naturally, Rael wanted to extort them as much as he could before then.

And of course, he also had soone to et first.

There was an event that was going to happen right before the beta ended, and Rael just wanted to make sure it was the sa one as before.

Because if it was…

Then we might be a little fucked.
