Godlike Player in a Game-Like World

'Normally, it takes months or even years for a person to learn even the most ineffective technique and unlock their potential. However, has this person learned the technique in a matter of days and achieved the potential for awakening? '

'I can only assume that the technique he's mastered is connected to his recent sneak attack on me. Compared to my medium-quality technique, that was unquestionably a much higher-quality technique. '

The Shadow Messenger was shocked by how much better Dan's shadow assassin technique was than his own, but he also couldn't believe how quickly Dan had picked it up and awakened.

'What kind of power does this high-rank item holder possess? He's teaching a completely ordinary person a high-quality technique in a matter of days. What is his purpose? I must immediately report this to my master. ' He thought. Dan's quick learning of technique wasn't just because he was a genius. Without the proper guidance, not even the world's greatest genius could have accomplished it.

Dan and his team were looking at Shadow Messenger, thinking he was just a peasant who couldn't understand how mighty someone like God Raydon could be, and they didn't care why he was surprised by this. After all, Raydon's power was also beyond their comprehension.

When the Shadow Messenger noticed he was being looked down upon, he gathered his wits and asked. '' S-So, do you know when your m-master will return? There's a message from my master that I need to deliver. ''

''We have no idea. Master only comes to check on us. And when we need help.'' Dan finished his sentence with a low voice and embarrassment.

''Who is your master? You can tell us what the message is, and we'll forward it to our master when he returns.'' ' Fatty Sami chimed in.

Shadow Messenger paused for a moment to consider his options. His task was to deliver Fang's message to the apprentice of the mysterious high-rank. Since the people in front of him were also his apprentices, he decided it was okay.

"My master has been known by the name Fang the Butcher. He is a mid-rank item holder from the Trade Organization who will soon to be a high-rank item holder. '' Shadow Messenger finally found something to boost his self-esteem and exclaimed with his head held high, emphasizing the word ''soon to be high-rank''

''Soon to be high-rank? So he's just like any other item holder? Tch, and I assumed he was someone significant. Just tell us the message. '' Sami said.

With twitching eyes, the Shadow Messenger rose to his feet, reached into his dimensional storage, and held out a silver box to Dan as he said.

''This is a small gift from my master. If your master grants my master the opportunity, he wishes to see him.'' The Shadow Messenger bowed and held out the box in his hand, saying respectfully.

''He wants to see our master with only a small gift? A mere mid-rank item holder? Try your luck next time with a bigger gift. '' Sami looked at the small box with disdain and said.

'I was trying to be modest by saying "small gift," but that is actually a blue-grade item, you idiot. ' Shadow Messenger thought, but he refrained from saying it aloud.

''Okay, we'll forward the message, don't worry. '' Dan took the box and placed it in his own dimensional storage without opening it.

''Ehm, then my mission is completed. Take care. '' He bowed again, and as he was about to leave, he heard Fatty Sami's voice once more.

''Wait. ''

''Y-yes? '' Shadow Messenger got goosebumps whenever he heard this voice. He had never been so disgusted with anyone in his life and would have killed Sami right here if he could.

''If I recall correctly, you mentioned bringing the boss to your organization, and he would be grateful. I wonder why that was?'' Fatty Sami asked confusedly.

'Shit. I completely forgot I said that.' Shadow Messenger muttered as he broke out in cold sweat.

''I-I just realized he doesn't have any items, and y-you know how helpful our organization is, so maybe I thought they could give him one or two items. He-heh''

Right away, Shadow Messenger started looking for an explanation. If that high-rank had discovered that the Trade Organization was attempting to seize his apprentice, Shadow Messenger would be the only one who would suffer as a result.

''Ohh, what a kind Organization. I thought he was just trying to kidnap you, boss, so you should follow him,'' Fatty Sami exclaimed.

Realizing what he was attempting to do, Dan and the others smiled.

"I always thought this fat guy was stupid, but when it comes to cunning and training, he's a genius," Pana thought with a sigh.

And as Sami had anticipated, he received what he desired.

"N-not really necessary. I-ı just realized that I have some things on me that I'm not using. Simply accept them from me. '' Shadow Messenger said hastily.

'I swear to God, I'm going to kill this guy someday. ' And he thought, reaching for his dimensional storage reluctantly.

''Spirit Wave. ''

Raydon used his skill to slash at the Wandering Snake that was approaching from two meters away; the sheer wave of black smoke split the monster's head in two before dissipating and disappearing.

[Lv.1 Wandering Snake(F-Rank) has been killed.]

[Your team gained 1 point.]

[You gained 10 experiences.]

''I think this was the last one,'' He said, looking around with his Depise skill.

Ever since Raydon arrived on the island and killed the Region Boss, he has been on the hunt nonstop. In fact, he was almost out of mana right now and had finished off every Wandering Snake he could find on the island.

''My total kill count reached 522. It was a good farming session,'' Raydon said with a satisfied smile.

He had accumulated over 6000 experience points, setting a new record based on his previous matches.

''But it's still not enough.'' He sighed as he considered the experience he still needed to reach the next level.

''But maybe that's sufficient to raise my stamina to 60. I'm really curious about what the next sub-skill will be. '' Opening the title panel, Raydon exclaimed enthusiastically.
