Awakened Talent: 10,000 Exp Converter!

As Vincent's challenger name, "Magnus," shot to the top of the leaderboard, the Tower of Illusions suddenly trembled before a blinding light burst out of it, shooting toward the gray sky!

Tremble!

It alerted people from within and outside the tower. Naturally, Valyn, who was resting with the ever-plump rabbit, Mochi, in a small inn, felt the sudden commotion.

Valyn tightly furrowed her brows as she stared at the Tower of Illusions, the center of the commotion.

Vincent… she thought, worried about Vincent's well-being.

She still had no idea about Vincent taking the number one spot on the leaderboard.

Therefore, the moment she saw the sudden commotion, she dragged Mochi away, who was still enjoying her food.

"Waaaait! My food!" Mochi cried in protest.

Unfortunately, Valyn could not understand her. She just rushed to the tower, along with Fenro, the Silverwood Fox.

At this moment, digital lights began to appear outside the Tower of Illusions. They were the challengers who got kicked out of the tower.

At first, they wore confused expressions but soon switched to disbelief, realizing they had actually been sent out of the tower.

Soon, their attention was drawn to the tower's strange phenomenon.

"What's happening with the tower?"

"I-I don't know. I was in the middle of a battle when I realized I got kicked out. I thought I died or something, but seeing these people and the tower's strange activity…"

"At first, the Tower's Exchange was emptied. Now this? There must be a reason for all of these!"

"It must be that 'Magnus' who's behind all of this!" said someone who had been keeping an eye on the leaderboard.

"Magnus? Who's Magnus?"

"I also have no idea who Magnus is, but he came out of nowhere and shot to the No. 1 rank. It was clearly stated that he cleared the 10th Level of Tier 3 Trials."

"What?! Does it mean he cleared the Tower of Illusions?"

"If that's the final trial, but I'm uncertain…"

"Was there any record that someone had ever cleared the Tower of Illusions?"

"I have no idea…"

Amidst the conversations of the Origin Warriors, the strange activity of the Tower of Illusions finally ended after a reverberating boom.

The outside of the tower was now packed with Origin Warriors, from Tier 1 to Tier 3.

At this moment, someone attempted to enter the Tower of Illusions once again.

[Error!]

[The Tower of Illusions will be unavailable for 30 days!]

"What? The tower will be unavailable for 30 days?!"

Gasps filled the air upon hearing the man's exclamation.

"I don't believe you! Get out of the way!"

Someone, filled with doubt, tried for himself, but soon his expression turned to utter disbelief.

"It's really unavailable…"

At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed, "It should be that 'Magnus's' fault!"

"I also thought about that!"

"Have you ever heard about that guy? No, right? But how did he suddenly clear the tower or reach the No. 1 rank?! Isn't that strange?"

"He must also be the reason behind the missing items!"

"That's right! He must still be here! Find him!"

"Show yourself, Magnus!"

Amidst the cries of these people, Vincent, who had just appeared outside of the tower and witnessed everything, let out a smirk in a corner.

He had already donned in his original attire.

Hehe, you all can cry until your voices give out, but I'd be a fool if I revealed myself just because you say so.

Maybe he still had some naivety because he was new to the Origin World, but he wasn't so naive as to be stupid.

Suddenly, a heavy oppressive pressure spread through the area. The air grew thick and stifling, making it hard to draw breath. Those around struggled to speak, their voices reduced to gasps as the crushing force bore down on them.

A deep masculine voice then resounded.

"Do you all think you'll be able to bring him out just because you want to? And what if you manage to make him reveal himself? Do you really think your lowly strength can even do something against him?"

"Do you all think Tier 3 trials are that easy?" the voice continued.

Seeing that no one could even talk back, the owner of the voice scoffed at them and remarked, "Pathetic."

Meanwhile, the people who were demanding 'Magnus' to reveal himself could only lower their heads and shut their mouths despite the harsh remarks.

They could only do so since they clearly knew the identity of the voice's owner.

Their eyes took a sneaky glance at him.

It was Zarki. He resembled a bald middle-aged man. However, compared to normal humans, Zarki had a huge peanut-shaped head and a third eye on his forehead.

He was also almost 7 feet tall and wore a long dark, exquisite robe. He had a frail appearance, in stark contrast to his deep masculine voice.

He was a Paraxian, a race known for their mental abilities.

Previously, Zarki was ranked 7th on the Tier 3 Leaderboard. However, since 'Magnus' appeared, he was pushed down to rank 8.

He was one of those who bet their lives staying in the Novice Continent to accumulate tower points and claim the Legendary-grade skill. Unfortunately, he was too late.

Despite being at Peak Tier 3 and already considered one of the Novice Continent's powerhouses, he was stuck at the Level 9 Trial of the Tower of Illusions.

Although he felt bitterness at losing his dream skill, he admired 'Magnus' for clearing the Level 10 Trial.

Unfortunately, not everyone shared his thoughts. Most of these Origin Warriors were used to blaming others for their pathetic abilities.

At this moment, Vincent's attention naturally drew to Zarki. Although he had no idea who Zarki was, he could recognize his race and strength.

"The second Peak Tier 3 powerhouse…"

That's right, Zarki was the second Peak Tier 3 he had encountered. The first Peak Tier 3 he encountered was Valyn.

That's right, Valyn was already at the Peak of Tier 3.

Suddenly, Zarki's voice rang out again. "I know you're still here, Magnus. If you ever think of selling your items, you can come to my place and we can make a deal. I don't have to tell you where to find me. I believe I still have some influence here for you to know me."

Unfortunately for him, Vincent was a newbie and had no idea about his identity.

After Zarki's statement, a few more voices spoke, inviting 'Magnus' to their places!

Even with all that, Vincent ignored them and scanned his surroundings, looking for Valyn and Mochi.

"Are you looking for me?"

A familiar sweet voice rang behind him.

It was Valyn, carrying Mochi in her arms. Valyn was not wearing her mask at this moment, and Fenro waited in the distance.

She did it so no one could recognize her. Along the way, she had already heard about the commotion, which was why she removed her mask, as people could easily recognize her with it.
