SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 251

Sky Island (1)

It is painful to swim in space.

Not only had to endure the feeling of being alone, but the feeling of having no land to step on was unsettling and precarious, as if I had to swim forever in water that my feet couldn’t reach.

Moreover, it was a road with no end in sight.

Fortunately, it didn’t say there was no air, but I didn’t even know if the path I was taking was the right one, so the pain increased as time passed.

“… … .”

loneliness and anxiety.

The situation where you couldn’t even meet anyone and even talking to yourself was dangerous, no matter how hard you were, there was nothing you could do about it.

‘It’s creepy.’

If I could talk to myself, even if I could use the music listening function, it would be less boring, but that wasn’t the case.

[Misralz Oreum][Lv 408]

There seems to be nothing in this space, but in fact, a being called a scavenger is wandering around hungry.

Lokan grasped the position of the snake-like creature with his penetrating eyes, and bit his mouth tightly.

With a whopping level of over 400, a speed that couldn’t be beaten by any number of wings, and an appetite better than a sandworm, this guy was a strong being that even a high master would not dare to rub.

Instead of his eyes deteriorated in the dark, his ears, which became more sensitive to sounds, could catch even the smallest noise, so he refrained from making noises and continued to move quietly.

‘This is why it is difficult to reach heaven.’

There was a reason why even Odin, who was called the king of creation, could not reach him.

In space, you could stay and rest on another planet for a while, but there is no such place here.

There is only one planet until the end is reached.

And while he was going to rest on that planet for a while, it was said that Odin also died.

‘You have to go there first.’

Of course, it is possible to reach heaven without going through it.

However, it was orthodox that if you could stay there, you would be able to reach heaven more easily.

There were also hints.

Because the way to enter ‘the planet’ is known in the last memories of the previous life.

And the method was already in Lokan’s hands.

‘Let’s be patient.’

The movement of Rokan assimilated into darkness continued for several days.

‘found.’

He was finally able to face a planet that looked like an island.

[Enter the Sky Island.][Be careful. Sky Island is an area where the existing reputation and reputation do not apply.][If you do not meet the qualifications, you may be deported.]

‘These words are fake.’

In the game, one line of tooltips and one word come with a great meaning.

Because the effect or attack method depends on that one word.

But who knew? That the word ‘qualification’ was close to deception.When we think of credentials, we often think of quests, but Sky Island was different. Since you can’t enter at all, you can’t prove your qualifications.

So all you need is an invitation.

It was called the sky ticket.

“stop! It’s the first race I’ve ever seen, but what are you?”

As we slowly descended to the Sky Island while maintaining the flight mode, there was a presence that flew quickly and blocked Lokan.

A strange appearance that is neither a bird nor a human.

But Lokan had seen such a being.

Lazy Gourmet Taemin.

Including him, there are several Join tribes on Earth.

“I am a person heading to heaven. I ask you to take a break on Sky Island for a while.”

Lokan’s way of dealing with him is supremely polite. This is inevitable because the opponent is a level 400 or higher, a Grand Master.

[Sky Island Guard Tacomin][Lv 403]

“Hey, with that skill alone, in heaven? What an arrogant human being. I bet you will be killed by crawling bugs as soon as you get to heaven.”

What does a bug mean to him as a joiner? it’s prey

To be killed by such an insect could be said to be one of the greatest insults to him.

It’s not that he doesn’t know what that means, but Lokan was calm. Because he didn’t even think that the heavens would be as smooth as he said.

‘So you’re here, man.’

But he had to go. Because otherwise he doesn’t know how long it will take to become a grandmaster.

Although there were enough master-level hunting grounds on the ground, there were hardly any monsters that could eat enough experience points by hunting high-masters.

Of course, it is not impossible to level up, but it was clear that it would take several times more time to catch and grow miscellaneous mobs.

And that’s why Lokan came here.

Sky Island is also a place to take a rest, but because it is a place full of monsters enough for a high master to catch.

‘In the first place, it’s ok to eat alone!’

The best hunting ground where you can do it all by yourself with the first bonus!

No matter how busy the road to heaven is, can I just pass this by?

Lokan hid his nefarious intentions and pulled an item out of his inventory.

The tail hairs of the join tribe.

It’s called the sky ticket by another name!

Tacomin’s expression changed when he took it out, which served as a ticket to enter the Sky Island.

“What is this stinky feather? Whoops, Taemin looks like that fat guy?”

It sniffs for a moment and then immediately guesses who it belongs to.

They have similar names, but maybe they’re like relatives?

While thinking for a while, Tacomin glanced up and down Lokan and reluctantly allowed entry to the Sky Island, turning around with a dissatisfied expression.

“Rules are rules, so it can’t be done. Come down, human. But let me be clear, if you do nonsense or make a fuss, you will be kicked out immediately!”

“thank you.”

Despite the threat of Tacomin, Lokan smiled and greeted him politely and then began to descend slowly.

[You have entered the Fortress of Heaven.]

I set foot in the citadel of heaven, the village of the join tribe.

‘I mean, this is the only base on the Sky Island.’

In the fortress in the sky, there were a lot of Join people walking or flying.

It was a little crazy because there were so many, but I needed to be careful about my actions. Because this is the only base on Sky Island.

On days when the reputation was low, there were times when I had to go to heaven again after wandering around with nowhere to go.

‘Shall we start soon?’

Odin was initially kicked out because he didn’t have a sky ticket and didn’t even get to enter the place, and then he was killed.

After that he passed this place several times and tried to ascend to heaven, but he failed to pass through the subsequent gates and he was killed.

In the end, somehow, I found out the existence of the sky ticket and found it with difficulty and entered my sky island and sky fortress.

Even after seeing that the store sells items that can safely move to heaven!

Lokan, who remembered it, prepared thoroughly before ascending to heaven. He crafted a strategy to raise his reputation and get their help.

‘If it’s difficult to approach you, just make it approachable!’

They opened a stall on one side of the square and started doing business.

“Huh?”

“What kind of ugly race is that?”

He was indifferent at first. Contempt and indifference towards the weak and lower races only approached coldly.

As expected, no one paid any attention to the existence, let alone to the items placed in Rokhan.

‘Then there is a way.’

But Rokhan did not get hurt or give up. It was expected, but because there is a way to get their attention.

Whoops!

Lokan immediately lit a fire on the spot.

It was a town square, but it was not a problem because it was originally a dirt floor.

Chewy profit.

The next Rokhan’s action was simple. Not to mention cooking, he cut meat into small pieces and started grilling it.

It was a special grilled skewer that reproduced the recipe of the imperial chef.

There is nothing special about grilling skewers, but human cooking skills are in it.

It was grilled over a direct fire, but the smell of the sauce and spices sprinkled on the meat mixed and gave off a savory smell to the surroundings.

“Sniff!”

“What is that?”

“Churp! What does this smell like?”

The joiners could not stand the smell that drew their feet and flocked in.

They pretended to be modest, but the children’s worn-out eyes and the sound of swallowing made it possible to understand their condition.

“Wow! Are you selling this?”

Among them, one of the courageous joiners spoke first.

Then Rokhan also opened his mouth with a broad smile with a capitalist smile.

“of course. Can I give you one? Free tasting on a first-come, first-served basis. Please feel free to eat and spread word of mouth.”

“What, a free tasting? Hmmm! If it’s an event, there’s nothing you can do about it. But if you don’t like it… … !”

He pretended to be reluctant to take the yakitori, then pulled it out with his sharp beak and put it in his mouth.And his eyes widened as if he had seen something he could not see.

“No, this taste… … !”

The next step was obvious. For this moment, I went back to Gourmet Taemin, practiced several times, and got confirmation.

It is a recipe tailored to the taste of the gourmet Taemin among the Joining tribes, so other members of the Joining tribe could not help but like it.

‘Fortunately, the gourmet was right.’

Actually, I was worried.

She claimed to be a gourmet, but in fact, if it was something like a monstrous foodie, she looked for something to do, but looking at her reaction, it seems that she was a hoax.

Only the dragon didn’t pass behind his back. Seeing the guy reacting violently as if he was in a cooking manga, Lokan sang inwardly.

“Me too, me too!”

“Do not push! I am first!”

“Didn’t you hear about first come first served? Don’t cut it!”

At the same time, there was an uproar among the Join people around.

When the magic words of first-come-first-served and free were combined, I lost face and became anxious.

“Stand in line!”

There was an instantaneous uproar like the market floor, but it was easily put together with a single word from Lokan.

He was arguing that this was a line and that he didn’t cut it, but he quickly stood in line and waited for his turn.

[Tagemin’s liking for you has slightly increased.][Tahochin’s liking for you has greatly increased.][Tapa’s only about you… … .]

The guys who ate yakitori once had a big and small difference, but their liking for Rokan increased.

And it all came together and changed Lokan’s reputation.

[Join’s reputation for you has been changed to Curiosity.]

still far away It was just curiosity, not interest.

Even though it was said that it was a first-come-first-served basis, it was worthwhile to provide it for free until all the prepared skewers ran out without telling how many people there were.

If there were more materials, wouldn’t it have been possible to even be interested?

With that thought in mind, Lokan threw in the cooking utensils and shouted loudly at the people who were waiting.

“This is it for today. If you are curious about a more special menu, please come back here tomorrow at 10 am!”

“Ahh! It was my turn!”

“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

Unfortunately, the joiners who were cut off in front of them were desperate, but the joiners who had once tasted the skewers cheered.

Even if you continue to sell the same menu as today, you are willing to pay for it and eat it every day. Is it a special menu? I didn’t know what it was, but I was salivating.

“Take it. If you bring this tomorrow, I will give you a special priority.”

However, Lokan’s spirit of service did not end there.

Unfortunately, number tickets were handed out to the waiting people who could not taste the grilled skewers, and they gave priority to tomorrow. It was because I was afraid that the favorability and reputation I had worked so hard for would be lost because of this.

[Tyrung’s liking for you has slightly increased.][Ta Chi-ming’s about you… … .]

The joiners who were waiting for a service mind they had never experienced before were impressed.

Lokan began to train the Joining tribes with food and service.
