The 31st Piece Overturns the Game Board

Chapter 195

Chapter 195

Seol recalled a time when he was first creating what was now the Grave Robber's Tomb.

"So why is this..."

Seol glanced at a man sitting alone in a corner, his eyes laser-focused on the game board.

A god, wearing a mask with strange leaves and branches protruding out of it, was engrossed in a game on his own.

He was a player that enjoyed playing on his own.

Seol slowly approached him.

"Excuse me... SturdyPaulowniaTree..."

"Seriously, why is this—Huh? Snowman? What is it?"

Not only was SturdyPaulowniaTree a renowned player, he was also the reason Seol became completely entranced by The World of Eternity.

And as Seol had yet to leave his mark, it made sense why he was acting so meekly toward him.

"I have a request," said Seol.

"A request? Ahh... a request!"

SturdyPaulowniaTree was quite the unique individual. He didn't talk with the others and simply enjoyed the game on his own.

Despite that, he was extremely famous because of his piece.

"You've helped me out quite a bit last time. It's only fair that I help you in return. To be honest, though, I didn't really mean that. I really don't want to take on your request."

"......"

His personality was also quite unique.

"Is your golemist... still alive?" asked Seol.

"Quite to the point, aren't you?"

"Ah..."

"Yes, they're alive! They've even completed their Exceptional Skill. That's a secret, though."

"A-An Exceptional Skill?!"

Even considering that this was the beginning of their journey into The World of Eternity, the high-ranking players were surprisingly weak.

This was because most individuals died during Adventures, and the high-ranking players were those who grew by avoiding dangerous encounters—individuals whose growth was stunted.

Though some players succeeded in multiple dangerous Adventures one after another, they all inevitably met their demise.

This meant that the number of pieces that knew Exceptional Skills could be counted on one hand.

As such, since the player in front of him had completed an Exceptional Skill—a symbol of high-ranking players—Seol was even more shocked and excited.

Anyone would be excited when seeing an expert of their hobby. Seol was no different.

"Wow... that's incredible. Do you think I'll be able to make one too?"

"Hahaha! I don't know if you'll come up with one as good as mine, but... I can see potential in you, Snowman."

"Really?"

"No. I didn't mean that."

"......"

This was why he couldn't get along with anyone.

Regardless, young Seol persisted, trying to overlook his words.

"So my request is..." began Seol.

"Your request?"
