Acquired the EX-class attribute ‘Transcendence Copy’

1 – Character Creation

‘Legend Route’

It’s a game I’ve been enjoying for 10 years. Now, it is a minor game among miners that only does rotten water beyond stagnant water. It is a game that only people know when entering the community.

If it was an online game, I would have taken down the server long ago, but fortunately Legend Route was a single player package game. That’s why I was able to enjoy it for over 10 years.

Today, as usual, I took the legend route. Playing games has become a part of everyday life.

[A new notification has arrived.]

An unfamiliar message appeared on the main screen of the game.

A new notification?

This is the first time I’ve received a notification like this in 10 years of gaming.

“What is it?”

[Thank you very much for loving Legend Route for the past 10 years! Special offers are prepared for travelers.]

A privilege?

Did it get updated last night?

This is a game that hasn’t had a single update since it was released. I was a little taken aback by the sudden appearance of a screen I had never seen before.

But the panic was short-lived. The animal senses of being a first-class gamer whispered to me. That this content will bring new stimulation to me.

[Customize the character you want!]

The screen has changed. A character creation screen like you would see in other games famous for customization appeared in front of you.

This is a feature that was never available in Legend Route. Because the playable characters of the legend route are fixed.

“Such a great new update 10 years after its release.”

It was amazing. Why did the developer release such great content 10 years after it was released?

As a gamer, I am very grateful, but I was not convinced of their intentions. Well, isn’t that what I care about?

I clicked the mouse and checked the customization features one by one.

The degree of freedom in customization was enormous. It has so many features and so many features that it took me over an hour to check them all.

Fortunately, I am a golden hand.

As a hardcore gamer, his rook daughter skills are enough to easily take thousands of recommendations on user bulletin boards. If I had studied with this effort, wouldn’t I have entered Korea University lightly?

The beginning of character creation was gender selection. The male and female options appeared on the screen.

“Gender….”

After 10 minutes of consideration, I chose a male character.

There are many pretty girls on the legend route. By the way, except for a few male characters, there are only awkward-looking ones. Probably because there are more females than males.

I liked that fact when I first played the game, but after playing the game for over 10 years, I felt a bit regretful about that.

“Blonde hair, looks…. You have to make it look damn handsome.”

I searched for a blonde character on the Internet. A blonde, red-eyed, handsome boy character was quickly created. This much is a piece of porridge.

[Please select a name.]

The name of the character.

When playing an RPG game, the most troublesome thing is, of course, the nickname.

Since my name is Yohan Kim, I should be able to name him Yohan, right?

Beside the name, there was a space to enter the last name.

Let’s roughly name him Baker.

It doesn’t mean anything special, it’s because I like bread.

[Do you want to be John Baker?]

“John Baker. It’s okay for a hastily named name. Complete.”

When I clicked the Finish button, the following screen appeared.

[Please create a character’s “Characteristic”.]

Characteristics.

It is one of the important elements of the legend route.

A trait is a character’s unique ability. Unlike skills, a character can learn only one trait, and cannot learn the traits of another character.

For example, while Sara Leoris has 「Sage’s Eye」, Other characters cannot get 「Sage’s Eye」. If another character wants to have the “Sage’s Eye”, Sarah Leoris must die.

In other words, a characteristic is a representative ability that literally symbolizes a character.

Originally, the characteristics were determined for each character. The most important criterion for choosing a character in the first place is this characteristic.

“You want me to make that trait?”

I looked at the screen in amazement.

A notepad-like editor was spread out on the screen. It seems that the title part is the property name, and the lower part is a space to write the description of the property.

“This is the characteristic I want….”

Which feature did you most want to have while playing the game?

“I thought it would be nice to be able to get the characteristics of other characters.”

Choosing a character has always been a series of regrets because of the unique characteristics of the character.

When I choose this character, I think of picking that character, and when I choose that character, I feel regret that I should have picked this character again.

After 10 years of playing, I became a legend route master, but I always thought it would be nice to learn multiple characteristics at the same time. Then the speed run will be easier.

“Then, the characteristics…. Would a copy be enough?”

I wrote the properties I wanted in the editor.

「Copy」

[Copy the opponent’s characteristics. Copied traits become stronger than the original.]

It’s too munchkin-like. I was dumbfounded even when I wrote it. If you have this characteristic, the game difficulty will go down by 2 steps.

When I clicked the OK button, a new message window appeared.

[The content of the attribute is changed to adjust the difficulty.]

「Transcendence copy」 (EX rank)

[Once every 24 hours, copy the opponent’s characteristics. Copied traits become stronger than the original. In order to copy the trait, you must kiss the opponent. When a character with the original trait dies, the copied trait disappears.]

A change has been made. I took a good look at it.

“The kissing event was only possible when the affinity level was over 80, right?”

At first, it was definitely nerfed rather than the few characteristics I had. However, the fraudulent thing was still there. In addition, the attribute rank is EX-class.

The maximum rank of the Legend Route is SSS.

This seems to have been patched as well.

[Please set the basic ability level.]

The next screen was to set the basic ability values.

[Stat point: 25]

[Strength: 5 Agility: 5 Mana: 5 Intelligence: 5 Luck: 5]

The basic stat was 5. And the remaining stat points were 25. If you distribute the stats evenly, it will be 10.

However, that’s stupid. As in most games, diversifying your stats is a shortcut to making a mangka.

“Strength and agility are relatively easy to raise. Intelligence is important to raise as a wizard, but it is less versatile. Then….”

Legend Route has two key characteristics. Mana and luck.

The higher the mana, the more skills can be used. This is because most of the skills in the legend route activate mana as a cost.

Among the wizards, there is a tech tree that neglects intelligence halfway and only takes a lot of mana to deal with high-level skills. To that extent, mana is an important and versatile attribute.

Luck is also like that. The higher the luck, the higher the chance of a critical hit. Luck is an attribute that actually increases the amount of damage.

In addition, luck also affects the probability of item enhancement. Luck is essential to get high-end items quickly.

Leaving other stats aside, I added 10 to mana and 15 to luck.

[Strength: 5 Agility: 5 Mana: 15 Intelligence: 5 Luck: 20]

“It’s beautiful.”

That’s a really good number. It’s not as good as the initial stats of Sarah Leoris, who is famous for being a strong character in the early stages, but it’s still great.

[Do you want to create a character?]

I guess this is the end of character creation.

A character I really liked came out. It’s like a character that I made with the intention of being completely self-sufficient.

“Of course not. Produce.”

You clicked the character creation button.

And then I lost consciousness.

—

“Damn it.”

When I came to my senses, I had become Johann Baker.

“John! How long are you going to be idle? Get up quickly and come out Time to open the shop.”

John Baker.

The son of a commoner who runs a common bakery in the capital, the ‘Dwarf Oven’.

From noble mtl dot com

That was my current status.

“Seriously, possessing the legend route world.”

This is unrealistic. At first, I thought it was a dream and hit him on the cheek countless times. But this wasn’t a dream.

Fortunately, the part I customized was applied as it was.

[Status Window]

Name: John Baker

Name: none

Attribute: 「Transcendence copy」 (EX rank)

Strength: 5 Dexterity: 5 Mana: 15 Intelligence: 5 Luck: 20

Skill: None

This is my current status window. I shouted out that it was a status window, and this status window actually appeared.

“John! Come down quickly! It’s time for guests!”

At his father’s nagging, he changed his clothes and went downstairs.

The first floor of my house is a bakery. It is said that it is a bakery that does not have to worry about living expenses because it sells well in its own way.

“John. If you’re lazy like this, I won’t be able to hand over the shop to you. Who do you resemble to be so lazy! Just look like half of this father.”

His bald-headed father crossed his arms and bluffed him.

Looking at my father’s shiny bald head, I subconsciously checked that my hair was in good shape.

That bald head should never look alike. Fortunately, John’s beautiful blonde was doing well.

“My older sister told me. The academy entrance ceremony is the best part of our store.”

Academy entrance ceremony.

With this keyword, I was able to infer the current time. This is the beginning of the original story.

Chapter 1 of the Legend Route is about taking the academy entrance exam. To put it bluntly, it can be said to be a point ahead of the beginning of the original work.

‘Academy.’

I have no intention of living as a baker’s son. Now that I’m possessed like this, shouldn’t I live hotly?

‘There’s something I need to do to do that.’

A hidden piece that exists in the original work.

You should get it.
