The Strongest Skill

A few hours later, the video of Unknown defeating the [Guardian of the Forest] had already spread through the whole world.

And because of his appearance that was being shown, many people easily tracked his house and address.

Even the president of America, particularly sent him a request to give him a lot of money to help them, but obviously, Luk refused without even thinking twice.

Now that the game has become a reality, [information] is the best thing that someone can keep to themselves.

On floor 0, which is outside the tower, there aren't many things for Luk to get except the strongest skill in the whole game.

The reason?

Because the game itself had a floor 0 that corresponded to the location you lived in, it was basically a replica of America in Luk's case.

And besides the tower, on floor 0, there were plenty of replicas of artifacts from the tower.

So, normally, everyone's target would be the museums, since there are a lot of things that are rare and everything.

But, Luk... someone who got all the achievements of the game knows very well that the target shouldn't be the museum but the gallery.

And that's where he's going right now...

Of course, the gallery doesn't have any value since there are only paintings on there, but...

Even if there's only paintings, it doesn't mean that there aren't any Easter eggs.

"I'm here." Luk looked at the building in front of him.

He entered the building and took a good look around. The walls were displayed with a huge range of paintings.

He looked at the painting of a woman and smiled as if he had found what he wanted.

⋘ Exquisite Painting (Rank: C) ⋙

Picking it up, Luk got out of the gallery and made his way towards a huge lake that was close by.

Then he simply threw the painting into the water...

⋘ You have entered an event zone! ⋙

A warning appeared before him as the painting sank deep into the water.

Slowly, from the water, the beautiful figure of a mermaid appeared. She was the most beautiful woman Luk had ever seen.

The gorgeous mermaid approached him and asked.

"Did you drop this?" She raised her hand

⋘ Eye of the Truth (Rank: SS) ⋙

Luk looked at it and smiled.

"I didn't."

Hearing his words, the mermaid nodded and brought out another item.

"Did you drop this?"

⋘ Demon Dragon Heart (Rank: AAA) ⋙

"I did not." 

"Mhm... So you didn't drop any of these." The mermaid asked.

"No, I didn't."

"Ah, and what about this?"

⋘ Exquisite Painting (Rank: C) ⋙

"I indeed dropped that." Luk replied.

"Oh... then, you can take it back." The mermaid gave the item back to him.

"Alright, thanks!" Luk waved his hand and left the giant lake.

The mermaid looked at his retracting back, and suddenly , just like magic, she instantly disappeared from the lake, as if she never existed.

If anyone saw this, they would be crazy! After all, wasn't the mermaid supposed to simply Luk all the items she showed?

The answer is obviously no.

Luk tried all of the combinations and only worked on this one. Leaving after getting your item back.

The reason...?

Of course, this is a hidden achievement.

Because only by leaving without saying anything to the mermaid can you actually get the achievement.

After all, you picked up what you dropped...

⋘ Congratulations on getting the hidden achievement—"What did you drop?" ⋙

"Mhm... great."

[⋘ Exquisite Painting (Rank: C+) 

Description: A painting that has been touched by the purity of a mermaid. ⋙]

Yeah, that's right. The grade of the painting increased.

"Now... everything should be right." Luk murmured.

He slowly put the painting on the ground, and using a lighter, he set the painting on fire.

⋘ The exquisite painting is reacting... ⋙

A panel appeared in front of him, and that same panel was just a warning to make a special combination.

Luk used more than 100,000 items just to make this thing appear; however, in this combination in particular, you needed a hidden achievement.

⋘ "The Endless Room" ⋙

Grabbing the "Endless Dagger", he painted its blade with his own blood and simply threw the dagger into the painting that was on fire.

⋘ The purity of a mermaid is reacting with human blood... ⋙

⋘ The "Exquisite Painting" is reacting with the "Endless Dagger"... ⋙

⋘ It's detected that the user has the "Endless Room" hidden achievement... ⋙

⋘ You have successfully created the—"Dagger of the Mermaids". ⋙

"There it is—the weakest weapon and also the strongest..." Luk murmured.

As for the reason why he said this?

This weapon is the only growth-type weapon in the entire game, so you can increase its grade, and it has no limit.

But it starts with the lowest rank...

That's why it's the weakest and the strongest.

⋘ You've successfully gotten the only special-grade item by combining two hidden achievements and three items. ⋙

⋘ You have met the requirements. ⋙

"Finally... I got you back..." Luk murmured.

The strongest skill that has the ability to copy and store many skills or unique abilities that exist in this world and use those skills to create even stronger ones.

And it is also the only way to get more than one unique ability.

⋘ You have acquired the inherent ability—"Fusion (Overlink)" ⋙

⋘ The "Memory of the World" is being created... ⋙

[⋘ Inherent Ability: "Fusion"

Obtaining Difficulty: Immeasurable (Overlink)

Details: By completing certain conditions, you are able to copy and store other people's unique ability or skills in the "Memory of the World" and fuse those same skills to get even stronger ones.

However, if the difficulty of the condition for copying a skill surges, the condition will be partially changed or even completed directly. ⋙]

"Now... I can easily get the skills I want. And I also got this baby~, don't worry, I'll make you strong in the fastest time possible." He caressed the dagger in his hand as if it were the most precious thing in the entire world.

With a faint smile, he started walking towards a place where he knew that a lot of people would be right now.

The National Museum...

.

.

.

.

.

THUD!

BAM!

At the National Museum, everyone fought with each other. After all, there was a very precious item.

A map that contained almost every piece of information from the 1st floor to the 5th floor of the tower, including dungeons, mazes, the weaknesses of the monsters, and even the drops.

Luk just happened to get to the museum right now, and there was trouble, as he expected.

As for the reason why Luk was actually here even though he went to the gallery first?

First, he knew that there were going to be a lot of people here, and second, he needed a skill that would let him see other people's status.

After all, having the skill "Fusion" without being able to see what skill to copy is a bit... bad.

BOOM!

Suddenly, another explosion rang out, and this time a few rocks were thrown against Luk.

He simply waved his hand, and the rock was cut into pieces.

"Ahhh... you guys really are making a mess. Can't you be... a bit more respectful towards history?" He complained a bit.

"Huh? What idiot really said that?"

At that moment, everyone's gaze fell on Luk, and recognizing the familiar silhouette that was the target of many people, they all shrank in fear.

"What... are you scared?" Luk mocked them.

He picked up a small piece of paper that was on the ground and continued.

"You guys really should be scared."

⋘ "The Painting of a Double Dragon" (Rank: F) ⋙

'Great... I just need a few more items now.'

"After all, the thing that makes my dagger evolve... is none other than blood." Luk smiled sadistically.

He gripped his dagger and dashed towards one of the guys that was currently present.

Despite being a F-Grade weapon, the digger easily sliced the neck of the guy that he rushed towards.

Splash!

The head of the guy fell to the ground, and the people who saw this shivered in immediate fear.

[⋘ "Dagger of the Mermaids"

Rank: F

Current Progress: 1/10 ⋙]

"Only nine more for now..." 

He grinned, looking at his next prey.
