1062 Realm Ranked Quest

〈System Alert: You have discovered the hidden quest «Traces of the Silent Null Overlord»!〉

〈System Alert: You are the first player to discover a Realm-ranked quest!〉

〈System Alert: Your world fame has increased by 1,000 points!〉

'I anticipated that an object like this would hold some secrets. But for it to be a Realm-ranked quest... What an unexpected gift. Not to mention, I only acquired 200 points of world fame for being the first player to set foot into The Void. Receiving a thousand points of world fame merely for being the first player to find a Realm-ranked quest shows its value. On the other hand, it also provides some insight into the risk involved.'

Needless to say, Izroth was never one to shy away from something simply because it was too risky.

This was the first time Izroth heard of a Realm-ranked quest. After all, the highest ranked quest he ever received was an SSS-ranked quest. That being said, it did not take a genius to realize what a Realm-ranked quest represented.

If an SSS-ranked quest could alter the landscape of the Mortal Realm or destroy a capital city belonging to one of its powerhouse kingdoms, then a Realm-ranked quest went beyond that. It was a quest that could possibly change the very nature of a realm itself!

Izroth carefully examined the Unburdened Null Beast Statue in the palm of his hand.

Name: Unburdened Null Beast Statue(Magical Item)

Rank: Artifact

Durability: ???(Damaged)

Usage: Contains and unleashes the power of «The Void».

Special Note: This artifact once belonged to an ancient and powerful being known as the «Silent Null Overlord». If you wish to unlock its secrets, you must first find clues to the last known whereabouts of the «Silent Null Overlord».

'Artifact? Can it be... Is this a magic item that exceeds the SSS-rank?'

To players, it was common knowledge that the highest-ranked magic item one could obtain was SSS-ranked. However, Izroth knew that an SSS-ranked magic item could not be the limit since a place like the Divine Realm existed.

Still, Izroth did not expect to find an item beyond the SSS-ranked in the Mortal Realm. And, if he did, he thought it would be a kingdom's hidden trump card that was kept a closely guarded secret. To find one in a place like this was unexpected, to say the least.

10:53

'This item has a direct connection to the Realm-ranked quest. For it to be left in the middle of The Void—I doubt it was by accident. It must have been placed here by someone intentionally to serve a purpose. A guide, perhaps? Whatever the case, given its location and the defensive capabilities it displayed, it's not an item meant to be obtained unless one has at least stepped into the legendary realm.'

Despite his current strength and having faced off against multiple legendary realm beings, Izroth had yet to technically set foot into the legendary realm by RML standards.

But, Izroth learned something important after his journey to the Ancient Celestial Realm. Astratis and many of the other celestials were at level zero even though they had clearly stepped into the legendary realm.

At first, Izroth did not think much of it and simply wrote it off as a quirk of the Secret Realm. However, after giving it more thought, Izroth began to ask certain questions. For example, what if one's level had nothing to do with reaching the legendary realm? What if stepping into the legendary realm required something more than just raw strength or numbers?

Of course, this was just Izroth's speculation. In the end, reaching the legendary realm for a player could be as simple as getting to a certain level. Nevertheless, Izroth believed that with everything he had experienced thus far in RML, it was likely not that straightforward.

Izroth set those thoughts into the back of his mind as he turned his attention toward the quest.

'I knew it at the time, but... You really did get the better end of this deal.'

Izroth was reminded of his brief conversation with the God of Craft Mazi and the deal that was struck between the two of them.

In exchange for promising not to ignore any plight that may befall the Mortal Realm, Izroth received a few benefits from the God of Craft. Of course, Izroth knew how broad the task was and the challenges that may be presented. However, since he planned on using the Mortal Realm as his foothold, naturally, Izroth would not sit back and watch any harm come to it. Not to mention, those who were under his protection resided in the Mortal Realm.

Furthermore, even if Izroth did not have that deal in place with the God of Craft, it would not make him turn this quest away. After all, the benefits of an SSS-ranked quest were already astronomical. But how could it possibly compare to a Realm-ranked quest?

Special Note: This quest may be shared any number of times with other players. Reward quality will be based on the individual player's overall contribution to the quest.

Skill books, numerous treasure chests, world fame, a permanent EXP boost—any of these things alone would cause most players to burn with jealousy and envy. However, none of that could compare to the Divine Equipment Treasure Chest promised to the main quest holder.

Divine-ranked equipment—this was something Izroth thought could not exist outside of the Divine Realm unless it were under a unique set of circumstances.

That being said, if a player managed to get their hands on even one piece of divine-ranked, it would most likely drastically shift the power dynamics in RML. This was even more so if that player belonged to a top guild like Cross Haven or Blue Oasis.

'Since the rewards are based on an individual's performance, does that mean they will receive a Rare Equipment Treasure Chest if they do poorly and a Divine Equipment Treasure Chest if they greatly contribute? If so, there would be no need to ensure motivation. No one would want to slack off and risk missing out on the opportunity to earn even a legendary piece of equipment, let alone one's that divine-ranked.'

Izroth was curious about a few other interesting rewards, such as the Origin Skill Book and Pandora's Box. There was also the question of the true identity of this Lost Ancient Civilization.

It appeared that unsealing them was a good thing. But Izroth understood that he could not afford to let his guard down.

However, what troubled Izroth the most was not the Lost Ancient Civilization or even the consequences of failing the quest. Instead, it was one thing—Null Beasts.

'Null Beasts... Was that statue made in their image? Regardless, outside of that, I have never heard of Null Beasts or anything related to the Silent Null Overlord. Since the last known traces of the Silent Null Overlord are somewhere in the Wild Lands... Hm... That guy might be able to help if it's that place. I'll have to do some digging once things settle down in the Mortal Realm.'
