Hacking the Game Didn't Go as Intended [Part One]

CHAPTER 34: The Rewards Beyond the Culmination

Whatever the case, simple calculations stated that Daisuke's Stats landed him around level 19... 26, if it tallied his 70 Stat Points. In other words, he was essentially a kitten wielding a lion's power. In theory, when he officially got to the double-digit level, he would already be at an overwhelming advantage next to his peers.

"Okay, now let's try to pinpoint exactly where the Option Buffs are coming from—maybe from the titles I got?"

[Lone Wolf]

[Rank: Rare

An individual who fearlessly charges into the midst of battles, seeking both glory and wealth. They forsake the comfort of companionship, opting instead to bear the full weight of their conquests alone.

Title Effect:

▪︎ Increases defense by 10% outside of parties.]

Daisuke looked down at the tattered and torn state of his clothes. "I could definitely use all the defense I can get."

[Pathfinder]

[Rank: Epic

Lvl: 1

Proficiency: 0%

Given to those who have glimpsed the elusive Hidden Dungeon. The initial rank is established by your level of involvement in discovering, entering, clearing, or failing of the Dungeon.

Title Effect:

▪︎ Increases attack power against Dungeon-based monsters by 15%. The percentage scales with the Title's rank.]

"Whoa~ that's pretty cool. I had no idea there were Titles that could grow and get stronger. It would have been fantastic if the attack increase applied to all monsters, no matter where they are, but this will definitely come in handy the next time I enter a Dungeon. It would've been a game-changer before the Elemental King fight though," he muttered, pokerfaced.

[Unwavering Spirit]

[Rank: Legendary

In the face of powerlessness, you transcended limitations and defied the odds, achieving a remarkable feat that even those wielding great power would struggle to replicate.

This astonishing accomplishment stands as a testament to your unwavering determination and extraordinary resolve.

Title Effect:

▪︎ HP Regen Speed +25%

▪︎ Strength +15

▪︎ Agility +25

▪︎ Dexterity +35

▪︎ Stamina +12

▪︎ 15% Reduction in Damage from Physical Attacks

▪︎ Evasion +8%]

"Wow, this is it—the Title that's on steroids! Legendary Rank?" he exclaimed, feeling a nervous sweat begin to form. "That's absolutely insane! But hey... I guess it makes sense. I did put my life on the line, diving into the unknown. They say the greater the risk, the greater the rewards, right?"

[Congenial Denizen]

[Rank: Unique

Despite becoming a player, you remain an integral part of Sehreneti's heritage, akin to any other NPC. You have shared in the world's blessings and endured its many challenges, earning you the recognition of a fellow local among the general populace.

Title Effect:

▪︎ NPCs will likely trust, respect, and confide in you.]

"I'm not really sure what to make of this one, but the fact that it's a Unique Rank must mean it holds more value than I imagine."
