14 – The Fruit of Multiple Genocide

My 50th loop began with me waking up. I, ignoring the awestruck mages, stood up and checked the other 'heroes.'

(Good! They are not equipping Dragon Hourglass Sand Weapons.)

I turned to [HUD] and opened [Storage]. I moved all junks in [Storage] to the Legendary Sword inventory before converting those useless junk into energy. I also used materials from monsters to strengthen myself via Status Enchantment.

When I finished, my status became like this―

[Name: RËÑ ĀMÆKĪ – Level 999+

…

Title: Sword God [+]

Job: Intermediate Swordsman – Level 10/10

Max HP: 99,999+

Max MP: 99,999+

Max SP: 9,999+

Max EP: 9,999+

Attack: 9,999+

Defense: 9,999+

Magic Attack: 9,999+

Magic Defense: 9,999+

Speed: 9,999+

Divinity: 13

Strength: 999+

Constitution: 999+

Dexterity: 999+

Agility: 999+

Intelligence: 999+]

First of all, my equipped title was automatically changed into [Sword God].

[Sword God: a title bestowed to the Sword Hero who has received [Divinity] stat from the world | Effect: [Divinity] is available. One point of this stat will multiply base combat stats by 10]

I became a god without actively pursuing godhood. I had been crazy for power-leveling because I wasn't feeling safe without maxing out my level in this world. Not because I wanted to be a god!

(So what if I became a god? This godhood is limited to this world alone.)

I silently criticized.

Indeed, I would lose my status as a god when I moved to another world. Still, the effect of [Divinity] stat was amazing; I couldn't deny this. One point in [Divinity] multiplied the base stats ten times, after all.

(Next, I am going to upgrade my Job. I have been neglecting it when I was in a power-leveling frenzy.)

I was going to upgrade my Job, but I stopped when I felt many stares directed at me. When I turned my attention away from [Status], I saw everyone, even the three 'heroes,' was looking awestruck as they were seeing me.

"What?"

My curt voice snapped them back to reality.

"Ahahaha… nothing, nothing at all, sorry for staring," Motoyasu replied and laughed awkwardly before averting his eyes. With pink cheeks and conflicted glint in his eyes, he looked like he was in the middle of an existential crisis.

I felt a certain danger from this guy…

I was going to keep 2 meters away from him all the time.

The rest were also averting their gaze and behaving awkwardly.

(What's wrong with them?)

I silently wondered. Then, I clearly heard the low muttering of Naofumi and Itsuki.

"How could someone have a face this handsome? He is even better-looking than those K-pop stars! No, he is more beautiful than Shiraishi Mai! What the hell?!"

"Perhaps, he has ESP power that makes him look so good?"

(Huh?)

I raised my sword and checked my reflection. It was still Ren's old face. Nothing had changed.

(But, why did everyone act like that? Why did Naofumi and Itsuki think like that? Is it due to my Divinity? Am I really good looking from the perspective of others?)

I quietly wondered before dismissing this matter.

"Umm…" One of the mage stepped forward to get my attention. He shrunk like a scared rabbit when I turned my attention to him. "Sir Sword Hero, we need to go to the throne chamber to meet the king. His Majesty will explain everything better…"

I glanced at the other three and they became flustered when our eyes met. I was feeling fed up by their fluster. What are they? A maiden in love?

"Please lead the way." I nodded at the mage.

After that, we were guided to the throne chamber. I was walking in the back while multitasking between navigating my way, focusing on [Status], and inspecting the reactions of knights and maids that saw me. Those knights and maids were reacting exaggeratedly. I did not mind if it was pretty maids, but the knights that had an existential crisis were unwelcomed.

Putting all that aside, let's focus on my [Job] upgrades…

[Job upgraded: equipped Adept Swordsman – Level 1/20: Bonus: Attack +2, Speed +2, Magic Attack +1 per level]

[Swordsmanship – Level 2 → 3]

[Job: Adept Swordsman has reached the max level; you gained +38 Attack, +38 Speed, +9 Magic Attack]

[You can upgrade or change your current job]

I continued upgrading [Job: …Swordsman]. After Adept, it was Advanced, then Master, then Grandmaster, and finally Saint.

Anyway, Advanced Swordsman had 40 levels with [Swordsmanship – Level 4] from unlocking it and 3 Attack, 3 Speed, 2 Magic Attack, and 1 Magic Defense bonuses per level; Master, 60 levels with [Swordsmanship – Level 5] from unlocking it and 3 Attack, 3 Speed, 2 Magic Attack, 1 Magic Defense, and 1 Defense bonuses per level; Grandmaster, 80 levels, [Swordsmanship – Level 6], 3 Attack, 3 Speed, 3 Magic Attack, 2 Magic Defense, and 1 Defense bonuses per level; Saint, 100 levels, [Swordsmanship – Level 7], 4 Attack, 3 Speed, 3 Magic Attack, 2 Magic Defense, and 2 Defense bonuses per level.

[Swordsmanship – Level 7 → 10]

I maxed out the level of the [Swordsmanship] skill after I found no higher [Swordsman] Job available after the [Saint Swordsman].

Afterward, I chose [Job: Novice Alchemist].

[Equipped: Job: Novice Alchemist – Level 1/5: Bonus: 5 MP per level]

[Learned: Alchemical Transmutation – Level 1]

[Unlocked: Common Recipes – Alchemy]

[Job: Novice Alchemist has reached the max level; you gained +20 MP]

[You can upgrade or change your current job]

I continued upgrading [Job: …Alchemist].

Intermediate Alchemist had 10 levels with [Alchemical Extraction – Level 1] and [Uncommon Recipes] upon equipping it, and 5 MP and 1 Magic Attack bonuses per level; Adept, 20 levels, [Alchemical Mixing – Level 1] and [Rare Recipes] upon equipping it, and 5 MP, 1 Magic Attack and 1 Speed bonuses per level; Advanced, 40 levels, [Super Rare Alchemy Recipes] and [Increases the probability of new alchemical results (Low)] upon equipping it, and 5 MP, 2 Magic Attack and 2 Speed bonuses per level.

Since I did not get a higher level of the skills from [Alchemist], I maxed out the level of [Transmutation], [Extraction], and [Mixing] using Skill Points.

Anyway, Master Alchemist had 60 levels with [Ultra Rare Recipes] and [Increases the probability of new alchemical results (Medium)] upon equipping it, and 5 MP, 2 Magic Attack, 2 Speed, and 1 Magic Defense bonuses per level; Grandmaster, 80 levels, [Increases the probability of new alchemical results (High)] and [Miracle Potion Recipe] upon equipping it, and 5 MP, 2 Magic Attack, 2 Speed, and 2 Magic Defense bonuses per level; Saint, 100 levels, [Increases the probability of new alchemical results (Very High)] and [Alchemy Production Bonus +1] upon equipping it, then the production bonus increased by 1 per level until +100 at Level 100, and 10 MP, 2 Magic Attack, 2 Speed, and 2 Magic Defense bonuses per level.

Next was [Blacksmith]; Novice, 5 levels, [Blacksmithing – Level 1] and [Common Recipes] upon equipping it, and 5 HP bonus per level; Intermediate, 10 levels, [Weapon Maintenance – Level 1] and [Uncommon Recipes] upon equipping it, and 10 HP bonus per level; Adept, 20 levels, [Rare Recipes] upon equipping it, and 10 HP, 1 Defense, and 1 Magic Defense bonuses per level; Advanced, 40 levels, [SR Recipes] upon equipping it, and 20 HP, 2 Defense, and 2 Magic Defense bonuses per level; Master, 60 levels, [UR Recipes] upon equipping it, and 30 HP, 3 Defense, and 3 Magic Defense bonuses per level; Grandmaster, 80 levels, [UR+ Recipes] upon equipping it, and 40 HP, 4 Defense, and 4 Magic Defense bonuses per level; Saint, 100 levels, [AR Recipes] and [Blacksmith Production Bonus +1] upon equipping it, then the production bonus increased by 1 per level until +100 at Level 100, and 50 HP, 5 Defense, and 5 Magic Defense bonuses per level.

I also maxed out the level of [Blacksmithing] and [Weapon Maintenance] using Skill Points.

After that, was [Enchanter]; Novice, 5 levels, [Enchanting – Level 1] and [Common Recipes] upon equipping it, and 5 MP bonus per level; Intermediate, 10 levels, [Uncommon Recipes] upon equipping it, and 5 MP and 1 Magic Attack, and 1 Magic Defense bonuses per level; Adept grade, 20 levels, [Rare Recipes] upon equipping it, and 10 MP, 1 Magic Attack, and 1 Magic Defense bonuses per level; Advanced grade, 40 levels, [SR Recipes] upon equipping it, and 20 MP, 2 Magic Attack, and 2 Magic Defense bonuses per level; Master grade, 60 levels, [UR Recipes] upon equipping it, and 30 MP, 3 Magic Attack, and 3 Magic Defense bonuses per level; Grandmaster grade, 80 levels, [UR+ Recipes] upon equipping it, and 40 MP, 4 Magic Attack, and 4 Magic Defense bonuses per level; Saint grade, 100 levels, [AR Recipes] and [Enchanter Production Bonus +1] upon equipping it, then the production bonus increased by 1 per level until +100 at Level 100, and 50 MP, 5 Magic Attack, and 5 Magic Defense bonuses per level.

Finally, the currently equipped Job, [Chef] was different from the previous Jobs because all Chef Job's grades had 10 levels, and each level gave me a +1 Cooking Bonus. Additionally, each grade also had other bonuses as follows; Novice, [Common Recipes] upon equipping it, and 1 Speed bonus per level; Intermediate, [Uncommon Recipes] upon equipping it and 2 Speed bonus per level; Adept, [Rare Recipes] and 3 Speed bonus per level; Advanced, [SR Recipes] and 4 Speed bonus per level; Master, [UR Recipes] and 5 Speed bonus per level; Grandmaster, [UR Recipes] and 7 Speed bonus per level; Saint, [AR Recipes] and 9 Speed bonus per level.

[Job: Saint Chef has leveled up: Level 1 → 8: you gained +7 Cooking Bonus and +63 Speed]

It stuck on Level 8. It was a pity…

By the way, even though my stats were maxed out, it did not mean I stopped growing. My stats were still growing, but [Status] hid the rest of the value beyond the maximum limits.

After that, I checked the Element Resistance section in [Status] and found it as follows;

[Physical Resistance: 99.9%

Fire Resistance: 99.9%

Water Resistance: 99.9%

Wind Resistance: 99.9%

Earth Resistance: 99.9%

Lightning Resistance: 99.9%

Light Resistance: 99.9%

Dark Resistance: 99.9%

Special Resistance: 99.9%]

In short, I was almost immune to elemental damages. If I included the beyond the limit stats, I was invulnerable!

My stats did fit my title as the Sword God!
