Chapter 116: Chapter 115: The Real King-Emperor’s Treasure, Part III

As the red haze dissipated, I noticed that I was now in a room similar to the Room of Conflict.
[You have entered the True King-Emperor's Treasure Room.
Congratulations. You have passed the King-Emperor's Final Test. You will now have a chance at a real reward for sacrificing yourself for your comrades.
By the King-Emperor's Order, you will not receive the 70 irreversible death penalties.]
I laughed to myself as I read through the message. ”That's exactly right. I made the noble sacrifice for my comrades! It's not like I swindled them out of 1.3 billion golden rings.”
My plan went off without a hitch. It couldn't have gone better.
==[You may choose which Real Treasure to receive.
Necklace
Belt
Earrings
Bracelet
Ring
Choosing one of the above will create the King-Emperor's Commitment.]==
”Would a bracelet be best?” I had no idea about this part. ”I already have a necklace and belt equipped, so not those.” I checked through the accessories I already had. I already had the Bracelet of Eternal Fire, so if I picked another bracelet here, I wouldn't be able to equip a better one in the future.
”No, I'll go with earrings instead.” There were enough rings on the market, so I decided to craft earrings.
==[Earrings of the King-Emperor's Commitment have been created.
The holder of the King-Emperor's Commitment may choose its effects. However, failing the missions required for each effect will cause the effects to disappear along with each effect slot.
The missions' difficulty will get higher according to the importance, power and strength of the effects. Effects that are above your level will immediately fail. Please choose carefully.
You may have a maximum of 7 effects.]==
==[Please create your first effect.]==
When I chose Earrings, a really common-looking pair of Rank 1 earrings appeared before me.
”I know exactly what to do for the first one. Increase Unrivaled skill level!”
I thought about what effects to create so many times. After thinking so much that my head was about to burst, I thought about my Unrivaled skill. Its max skill level was one, but what would happen if I increased it to 2?
==[There is no effect to raise the skill level of the Unrivaled skill.
Please create another effect.]==
”What!” The message caught me off guard. ”Why? I can't just create whatever effect I want?” I didn't expect that it wouldn't work.
”You said it's whatever effect the holder wants. I want to increase my Unrivaled skill level!” I shouted at the message screen in front of me, but nothing changed.
”Fine then. Increase skill level of Judge's Gavel and increase the skill level of Selfish Prick.”
==[There is no effect to raise the skill levels of Judge's Gavel and Selfish Prick.
Please create another effect.]==
”Oh, come on!” Well, I was off to a bad start.
”Then these won't work either? Generate All Weapon Mastery skill, generate Telekinesis skill, and generate Summon Phoenix skill.” I spouted all the random skills I knew about and wanted.
==[You may not create a new skill.
Please create another effect.]==
I fell to my knees. ”I can't do anything…” Nothing was going as I had planned. ”Someone or something has to be fucking with me. Who's getting in my way?!”
==[You have three seconds left to create an effect.]==
The message appeared as I was sighing to myself, unsure what to do but when I noticed, my eyes shot open.
”Increase all stats!”
==[Effect: Increase all Stats will be created.
Difficulty: 5 ★★★★★
Mission: Clear all monsters in one hour
Stats will be increased according to mission success to a maximum of 300 Stat points
Defeat at least 70% of the monsters in order to have the effect.]==
Soon, a red haze covered my body and took me to a room I had never seen before. It was completely flat and barren, without a single tree or rock in sight.
==[Monsters will now spawn. You have 1 hour.]==
As soon as the message appeared, monsters began to spawn in the room. They were the Moleman Soldiers that appeared on the first two floors of the King-Emperor's Tomb.
”Hmm…looks to be about 5-600 of them.” It was fair amount for a normal deva, but for me?
”Piece of cake. Mana Conversion – Fire. Warrior's Brave Spirit.”
==[Mana Conversion – Fire has been activated.]==
==[Warrior's Brave Spirit has been activated.]==
I didn't feel the need to use Judge's Gavel here. I charged in at the horde of monsters and began swinging my Harrier at them, still unhappy about earlier.
”Why can't I raise those three skills? Is it that bad to want more out of them?”
I took out my anger out on the Molemen and made quick work out of them. It took me less than half an hour to clear them all out.
==[You have cleared all of the monsters on the field.
Mission cleared: 100%
Time taken: 29:30
For completing the mission well under the mission time, you will receive 50% more to your effect.]==
As the message appeared, I was taken back to the treasure room. The plain earring in front of me was then engulfed in a cloud of gold-yellow smoke. When the smoke disappeared, the earring was now a shiny gold color. However, there was something else on my mind.
”If I complete the mission faster than normal, I can get more out of the effect?” I felt a little dejected for a second, thinking I should have cleared the monsters faster but it quickly left my mind. Even if I had used Judge's Gavel, it would only have made a few seconds difference.
==[The King-Emperor's Commitment (No Rank)
The King-Emperor's true treasure.
