It blew up.
ㅇㅇ(578F) : this mf is actually insane lmaooooooo
Fenrir : legendary;;
ㅇㅇ(312F) : bro why didn't you say anything about the most important part??
ㅇㅇ(249F) : looks like the invaders just keep coming ;;;
ㅇㅇ(710F) : how many were there? did you use the instant-kill skill?
ㅇㅇ(543F) : were they humanoid again? is the outside world like one single dimension or something?
ㅇㅇ(643F) : did you hold them off together with the Treasure Keeper?
ㅇㅇ(578F) : feels like you just reaped the benefits while they fought each other
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(249F) : classic cleanup duty lmaooooooo
ㅇㅇ(148F) : t e l l u s r i g h t n o w
Even though this was only the second report of invaders, the reaction was explosive.
The Gallery regulars had been cooped up inside the tower this whole time, so any contact with the outside world was apparently massive bait.
I posted a reply.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(100F)(OP) : thought picking the artifact was more important so i didn't mention it.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(461F) : fair enough. must've been chaotic as hell.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(312F) : kinda sus that you were sitting on this info tho.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(100F)(OP) : once i'm done looting i'll post a full rundown including stats.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(249F) : hurryuphurryuphurryuphurryuphurryuphurryuphurryuphurryup
I set the hologram aside for now to focus on looting and sorting through everything.
Then I got started on what I'd been putting off.
First up: stat point distribution.
I'd gone from level 100 to level 120 in one shot.
Thanks to the man who'd used *Wrath of the Sun God*, the old necromancer, and the experience from clearing floor 100.
"…Invaders give pretty decent EXP…"
The stat points I'd accumulated came out to a whopping 60.
"If I dump all of this into evening things out…"
My current STR, AGI, INT, and SEN were all sitting at 85—except STR, which had been bumped up by the Ring of Arcane Might.
Distributing 15 points to each would push all four stats into triple digits.
No reason to hesitate.
[STR increased by 15.]
[AGI increased by 15.]
[SEN increased by 15.]
[INT increased by 15.]
It was the most stats I'd ever allocated at once.
And the moment STR, AGI, SEN, and INT all broke 100—
FWOOOOOOM—!!!
"……!"
My breath caught.
My vision went strange.
A wave of euphoria crashed over me in an instant.
It felt like my mind was clearing.
Was it because INT had gone up?
This was the first time I'd actually felt the effect of an INT increase directly.
GRRRRRR—!
It was like every muscle in my body was writhing.
They seemed to rearrange themselves, growing denser, and the air around me felt thick and viscous.
I could see the flow of things.
"Oh…"
I clenched my fist tight.
Now I was certain.
"I'm stronger than the Blood Knight."
I suppressed the intoxicating rush and turned my gaze to the floor.
Time to loot.
But there wasn't much left.
The people who'd appeared to be the party's porters had been caught in the blast of [Wrath of the Sun God] the man had used and vaporized.
Everything they'd been carrying had turned to ash along with them.
And the man's corpse had been tossed into the Golden Chest, which had then sunk through the floor and vanished.
In the end, the only thing left intact was the old man's corpse—the one whose skull I'd split with my scythe.
"There's gotta be something."
I searched the old man's body.
What I found: a single black ring on his finger, and a staff with a green magic stone set at its tip. That was it.
"Better than nothing. No idea what they are yet, though."
I wiped off the blood roughly.
Holding them, I adjusted the camera angle.
Click.
After taking a selfie, I started writing up everything that had happened.
"…The part where I used Death's Edge Invincibility…"
I thought about it for a moment, then decided to include everything—even what had happened in the Death God Realm.

Got all four main stats to 100+, earring stack is at 97% so MP is 254.
The staff and ring are loot from the invaders—let me walk you through everything from the start.
……
……
So I was playing hide-and-seek looking for the locks, when suddenly the door opens and the invaders walk in.
……
……
To save the Treasure Keeper and open the chest, using Death's Edge Invincibility was the only option.
Overlapped both necks and cut them simultaneously, then entered the Death God Realm…
……
……
Chased down the Eyeless Watcher, barely smashed the hourglass, and escaped back to reality.
……
……
Everything after that is the same as what I posted before.
That's how I was able to tell the moment I saw the artifact that the invader had been carrying Wrath of the Sun God.

I submitted the post and hit refresh.
[Comments]
ㅇㅇ(312F) : bro what.
ㅇㅇ(461F) : that was an absolute circus holy shit lmaooooo
ㅇㅇ(578F) : nah what the fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
ㅇㅇ(243F) : cutting both necks at once to skip the explosion damage is actually insane lmao. but was it okay to use Death's Edge Invincibility though.
ㅇㅇ(683F) : lol so all that happened and you said nothing, just immediately asked about the artifact reward?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(249F) : genuinely legendary efficiency brain lmaooooo
ㅇㅇ(148F) : this crazy bitch. this crazy bitch. this crazy bitch.
ㅇㅇ(643F) : the way you explain it sounds so easy but if literally anything had gone wrong you'd have been dead??
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(510F) : for starters if you hadn't played hide-and-seek and just rushed them, you would've eaten a Wrath of the Sun God to the face and died lol
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(431F) : the decision to hide was genuinely clutch.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(351F) : invaders really are dangerous as hell it seems.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(654F) : what if they just keep coming though…
Makanong : I'm so glad my idea was helpful! Hehehe…
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(100F)(OP) : thank you.
The praise kept rolling in.
But as I'd anticipated, there was one point I deserved to get called out on.
The Death God of floor 710 spoke up.
ㅇㅇ(710F) : hey you absolute maniac you're NOT supposed to use Death's Edge Invincibility wtf
ㄴ Fenrir : knew you wouldn't listen ㅇㅇ
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(643F) : but if hundreds of Death Gods are after you now, that's a real proper seal. might actually be a good thing. you're really not going back now right.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(710F) : honestly thank god it was the Eyeless Watcher…
The Eyeless Watcher.
It was definitely lucky that the blind Death God had given me time to pull myself together in the Death God Realm.
But the fact that I'd needed time to pull myself together in the first place—that was the problem.
I directed a question at floor 710.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(100F)(OP) : but every time i go to the Death God Realm my original memories from before the possession get all mixed up with my current ones and my head goes weird. is that normal? should i ask my master when he shows up?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(710F) : Grand Canon gramps was born a Death God so he wouldn't know anything about that.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(710F) : but i was fine from the second time onward so you seem kinda unusual. probably means the original mind that came with the body is really strong?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(710F) : also the thing about liking sleep i have no idea what that's about.
The original mind of this body.
It seemed this Death God girl's was unusually strong.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(100F)(OP) : oh, and you said you'd visit the Death God Realm for me last time. when are you going? the Gate Keeper seemed pretty well-known even before the wanted notice—could you look into it while you're there?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(461F) : lol why are you rushing them
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(249F) : go find out already come on lmao
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(710F) : i'm not burning my Death God Realm visits on you ㅡㅡ. i'm going next time i learn an instant-kill skill.
'Huh…?'
That made me wonder something.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(100F)(OP) : so does that mean i also have to go to the Death God Realm to learn the next instant-kill skill? i'm wanted now so i can't go—does that mean i can never learn another one?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(310F) : uh.
I was briefly unsettled—and then:
ㄴ Death Note Grand Canon : There is a way to learn instant-kill skills without viewing the Great Stone Tablet in person.
My master, who had warned me never to use Death's Edge Invincibility.
I'd been bracing for a scolding, but he appeared with a calm tone instead.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(312F) : not even yelling, guess he's given up lmao
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(390F) : isn't that actually angrier though lol
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(555F) : fr
He said this:
ㄴ Death Note Grand Canon : I will no longer waste energy reproaching you. Do as you see fit from here on.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(249F) : he's so done lmaooo
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(643F) : completely fed up lmaooooooo
ㄴ Fenrir : honestly the newbie really did not listen at all.
'Ah… I still have so much left to learn from him.'
I had a mountain of Black Magic still to study, and getting excommunicated like this would be a real problem.
I moved quickly to do damage control.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(100F)(OP) : master i'm so sorry ㅠㅠ i have Wrath of the Sun God now so i have a survival skill, i genuinely won't ever need to use Death's Edge Invincibility again! you can really relax!
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(431F) : hmm…
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(351F) : the boy who cried wolf lol
Death Note Grand Canon : It is fine. Use it as much as you like.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(578F) : he is SO done lmaooooooooooo
"…"
There was nothing more I could do.
'Guess I'll have to learn from floor 710 for now…'
That thought crossed my mind, and then I remembered SSS-Rank Gear Chaser's comment.
ㄴ SSS-Rank Gear Chaser : he's just like this for a bit, he'll be fine. probably still not over the mental breakdown from when Void Hermit showed up lol
Having said that, he went on to explain the loot.
ㄴ SSS-Rank Gear Chaser : as for appraising the items, they're definitely better than last time. the ring looks Rare-tier. seems to have an effect that boosts MP. the staff… its output is Epic-tier but it's been cobbled together like a patchwork quilt. there's a risk of mana backflow if you use it carelessly, so i'd recommend just storing it and scrapping it later.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(100F)(OP) : thank you. should i equip the ring now?
ㄴ SSS-Rank Gear Chaser : yep.
While talking about items, another question came to mind.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(100F)(OP) : also i have a question—looking at my status window, it seems like only the one artifact at the top of my inventory gets equipped. do you normally have to swap between them?
It seemed like artifacts didn't need to be held in hand—putting them in the inventory was enough to apply their effects.
After all, they were showing up as equipped items in my status window even though I wasn't physically holding them.
But only [Wrath of the Sun God] was equipped.
I wanted to use both, and swapping back and forth seemed way too inconvenient.
ㄴ SSS-Rank Gear Chaser : there should be a way to increase artifact slots.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(642F) : artifact slots can be expanded by learning skills like self-duplication, parallel thinking, or clone-type skills ㅇㅇ.
That was a relief. So there were ways to expand the slots.
I asked right away.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(100F)(OP) : how do you learn something like that?
That's when it happened.
A username I'd never seen before suddenly popped up out of nowhere.
Seol Ha-rin : focus on getting more circles first. a 2nd-circle mage talking about parallel thinking or clones is just funny…
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(312F) : oh this person, haven't seen them in a while lol
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(461F) : just casually walks in.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(670F) : please start posting your vlog again pleaseeeeeee
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(578F) : have you been reading all the newbie's posts this whole time?
ㄴ Seol Ha-rin : yeah. it was kind of interesting. learned a few things i didn't know.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(497F) : reaction's a little lukewarm tho…
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(643F) : newbie hit level 120 in a week, what do you think? good enough to clear floor 700?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(249F) : getting 2nd circle in 2 hours was actually insane.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(351F) : she's a genius right?
The comments were flooding in.
Seeing the Gallery regulars asking her to evaluate me, this named user clearly had serious expertise in magic and skill systems.
Could I make her my new master?
ㄴ Seol Ha-rin : hmm… the face looks like a genius… but everything else, i can't really tell yet since she hasn't learned much?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(351F) : ?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(704F) : what do you mean she hasn't learned much;;;
