Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 582

The system notifications continued.

[ The entire continent of Escapia is designated as Suholand’s territory. ]

[ You have interference rights over all events that occur within Escapia. ]

[ You have acquired territory in another world for the first time. ]

[ You have achieved a truly tremendous accomplishment that no Player has ever achieved. ]

[ In recognition of your supreme accomplishment, the system gifts you 30 bonus stats. ]

Notifications appeared one after another.

Just as the system said, Su-ho had become the first Player to possess territory in another world.

Thanks to that, he received 30 bonus stats as a free extra.

And that was not all.

[ Dominion Core is activated. ]

[ All abilities increase. ]

By obtaining the Demon Realm, Dominion Core activated, and his internal power began to surge explosively.

Feeling that surging power, Su-ho laughed.

‘Well, the world itself became mine, so of course Dominion Core would activate.’

Thanks to that, he had learned another way to grow stronger.

‘Anyway, so the Demon Realm continent’s original name was Escapia.’

He learned something he had not known.

And in many ways, the feeling was incredibly new.

‘The master of an entire world.’

Of course it felt new.

His homeland, Earth, where he had invested more effort than any other world, had been brought close to an age of peace, yet he could not proclaim territory there.

The reason he could not was simply that it felt strange.

Maybe because it was too familiar, it actually made him feel a slight sense of resistance.

‘Well, technically, I have more influence than the president of the United States, so I’m practically a king anyway.’

Still, being separated by the system and being separated morally were different matters.

Of course, if necessary, he did intend to proclaim a domain there later.

It was right after Su-ho finally took official possession of the Demon Realm.

- From now on, I hope you make good use of the Demon King Castle, the Demon King Palace, and the Six Great Demons as needed.

“Oh, come on. Why are you trying to slip out so casually? I’m planning to put you to work too.”

- Keuk, even if you want to, I am a Constellation. That is why I gave you Dominion Core, remember?

“I’ll admit that. Then what kind of relationship do we have now?”

- Who knows?

“How about friends? If we’re in the same boat now, that makes us comrades and friends.”

- Friends...

Grid grinned.

Because although he could no longer see him now, there had once been a human who had asked to be friends with him too.

- Fine, friend.

“Good, friend.”

Su-ho held out his fist toward Grid.

It meant he looked forward to working with him anew.

Grid understood that meaning as well and lightly bumped his fist against it.

Su-ho was smiling in a good mood and was just about to check the situation with Jack.

[ Your level has increased. ]

[ All stats have increased by 1. ]

[ You have acquired 1 bonus stat. ]

His level suddenly rose.

The timing of the level-up, as if it had been waiting to show off, was uncanny.

“I just leveled up.”

- Then will you become a Guardian God now?

At that moment.

[ Your level has reached 400. ]

[ For achieving a remarkable accomplishment, the system gifts you 5 bonus stats. ]

[ The Player reaches the singularity. ]

[ A class quest is activated. ]

[ A trait quest is activated. ]

[ The first condition among the unlock conditions for the final authority of Dragon Blood has been achieved. ]

[ The first condition among the unlock conditions for the final authority of Vampire Blood has been achieved. ]

[ The first condition among the unlock conditions for the final authority of Giant’s Bloodline has been achieved. ]

[ The first condition among the unlock conditions for the final authority of Fairy Blood has been achieved. ]

......

Notifications related to officially reaching level 400 began appearing.

[ The conditions have been fulfilled. ]

[ The promotion quest to Guardian God rank has been completed. ]

[ Promotion will begin. ]

Once the notifications for reaching level 400 ended, as expected, the most important quest guidance related to promotion appeared.

Right after the notifications rose.

Fwaaaaaah!!

Light began pouring from Su-ho’s body.

The light that poured out was pure white, like divine magic, and instead of spreading in all directions, it became a pillar of light that stretched higher and higher into the sky until it touched the heavens.

- I am seeing this sight again.

Grid took one step back and watched Su-ho’s promotion process with eyes soaked in nostalgia.

He did not speak to him.

Because it was an exceedingly sacred moment.

Before long.

Flash!

The light that had reached the sky soon carried Su-ho away as though abducting him, then vanished without a trace.

- Do well and come back, friend.

Grid crossed his arms and looked up at the sky.

***

Flash!

With the touch of the toy hammer, a massive amount of information began pouring into Su-ho’s mind.

It was information about the Guardian God rank that he had wanted to hear from the administrator.

- When there is a convenient tool, is there any need for me to chatter on and on? Don’t you think?

His head was spinning too much to answer.

In terms of sheer volume, it was less than the Library of Memories, so he did not know why it made him feel this nauseous.

A while later, Su-ho barely managed to settle his stomach, held back the nausea that had almost spilled out, and answered.

“...That’s an interesting item.”

Guardian God rank.

It was exactly as he had heard from the others.

It was a rank that could only be attached to a Player who had reached High-grade Player, and the moment one obtained Guardian God rank, they were granted the qualifications to become a Constellation.

In truth, there was no option to refuse.

Becoming a Guardian God meant becoming the representative Constellation of that world, and if one refused, they would become a Fallen Constellation and be sealed away, after which that Player’s entire world would degenerate into a growth-stage field for Players from other worlds.

‘The Lizard Dragon is the representative example.’

That was why he had never intended to refuse in the first place.

Administrator A laughed.

- Kyokyokyokyo, right? So, your answer?

“I’ll become a Guardian God. Same for becoming a Constellation.”

- Kyokyokyokyokyo! I knew it. Honestly, unless someone is a complete idiot, refusing this proposal itself would be ridiculous, wouldn’t it? Now, then, let us follow the procedure first.

At the same time as it said to follow the procedure, the administrator swung the toy hammer once again.

This time, from above to below.

He wanted to dodge, but he simply stayed still.

Boop!

With a cute sound, Su-ho’s head dipped slightly downward.

This time, no information flooded into his mind.

Instead, system notifications appeared.

[ Approval from the system has been granted. ]

[ Your power is no longer at the level of a High-grade Player. ]

[ Congratulations! Your grade has been promoted from High-grade Player to Guardian God Player. ]

[ By becoming a Guardian God Player, additional qualifications are unlocked. ]

[ The potential of all powers has greatly increased. ]

[ Congratulations! You are the first Player to successfully be promoted to Guardian God rank. ]

[ In recognition of your supreme accomplishment, the system gifts you 50 bonus stats. ]

A long but light congratulatory message.

More than the congratulatory notifications, the 50 bonus stats—the real prize—were much more welcome.

[ All conditions have been fulfilled. ]

[ The Constellation rank promotion quest will now begin. ]

[ A Constellation rank promotion quest has been generated. ]

Papapat!

[ Constellation Rank Promotion Quest ]
