Chapter 74
Episode 74:
The Forgotten Land refers to the site of a fallen ancient kingdom!
If you think about it, it wasn’t that difficult to guess. In the current Fate World, the ancient kingdom has almost been completely forgotten. Even Sioras, who has lived for hundreds of years, does not know much about the ancient kingdom.
‘It’s worthy of being called a forgotten land.’
Moreover, the place where the seal was hidden was the cemetery of the ancient kingdom of Cossant. X, who was looking at the royal seal, trembled. As attention was focused on the new grade called ‘Legendary’, I belatedly realized the true value of the royal seal.
“So, if you use this seal on the site of an ancient kingdom, you will gain ownership and governance over that site. In addition, depending on the conditions, you can receive help from beings from the ancient kingdom…”
Isn’t this a truly crazy effect?
The effect is worthy of being ranked legendary.
X’s mind turned golden.
The dream of a land rich man, the dream of a building owner, the dream of a lord! There are not many users in Fate who have their own land. Currently, there are only three users who own the territory, and even that could be said to be owned by a guild, not an individual.
“Hehe.”
However, by obtaining the forgotten royal seal, X had the opportunity to eat the ruins of the ancient kingdom. The smile did not leave X’s mouth.
I wanted to activate the effect of the royal seal right away.
But X held back.
“There is no reason to make a hasty decision.”
There were many sites for the ancient kingdom of the vast Fate World. You can’t choose the small island of Cossant out of immediate curiosity over a better place! In any case, X had to travel to numerous ancient kingdom sites to liberate the ancient kingdom’s vengeful spirits.
All you have to do is look around the sites and choose the best spot among them!
“And you shouldn’t think about something this big alone.”
To be honest, even if he were to gain ownership and governance of the ancient kingdom right away, he had no idea how he would utilize his abilities. But Sioras would be able to give good advice.
‘Let’s take care of it for now.’
X put the forgotten seal in his inventory and shrugged his shoulders. With this, he liberated the vengeful spirits of the ancient kingdom of Cosant and obtained some amazing loot. Now it was time to head to the next ancient kingdom ruins.

Meiji’s headquarters.
Kim Seong-cheol and Seo Myung-woo were looking at each other with serious faces. A video that was heating up the world was playing on the tablet placed on the table.
-Let’s go back quickly. Isn’t the soup a bit soggy once it cools down?
X’s sly words.
Kim Seong-cheol, who was listening, paused the video.
“Judging by the amount of mana floating around, he is at least level 350. “In terms of its uniqueness of levitating the sky and energy enough to shake the ground, it is at least a named monster.”
“X, who defeated such a ruthless guy in just two minutes.”
“…I’m going crazy.”
Kim Seong-cheol shook his head with a tired face.
Mage Streamer X moved. As he revealed his hidden power for the first time, the puzzles that had not been put together began to fall into place.
Seo Myung-woo said while touching his chin.
“I was completely fooled by the chairman’s pun. The Chairman has been giving us the answer openly from the beginning. “It’s not Mysterious Player X, it’s Mage Streamer X.”
The player who was fighting with the fishman in the spray of water!
Game masters, including Kim Seong-cheol and Seo Myung-woo, have conducted their own research to determine who that player might be. But there was no connection at all.
It was absurd to have that kind of strength without being in the top rankings. However, among the rankers, there was no one with such a face and fighting method.
While the identity of X was in limbo, streamer X revealed his power. And most users who are interested in Fate, including game masters, realized this.
X was X!
Equipment that was glimpsed through the spray of water.
Simple basic attack.
X didn’t show his face, so it wasn’t possible to confirm whether the face was the same, but it was enough to be sure just by looking at the other evidence.
“The reason why the Chairman elected X as the Mage Streamer, even citing powers he didn’t normally use… I can understand if he has this kind of ability.”
“Same.”
“But how can you be so morally strong? I can’t find the name X in the senior rankings. “It means your level is less than 300….”
You can defeat a named monster that is at least level 350 in 2 minutes when your level is less than 300?
I couldn’t understand it even more because it was Kim Seong-cheol who knew Fate best.
Seo Myung-woo answered.
“There is only one possibility.”
“…Hidden class.”
“Yes, hidden job, hidden class. X gained a hidden class with great potential. “That’s the only possibility I can think of right now.”
After all, is this a hidden class?
Kim Seong-cheol felt deep inside that it was unfair. Is it possible to gain that kind of strength by choosing a job well? If other Fate users knew about this, they would likely suffer from extreme deprivation. Seo Myung-woo smiled and continued.
“Do you know how long your X connection time is?”
“Connection time? Until there…”
“21 hours out of 24 hours in a day.”
“…!”
“If you look at the access history, it has surpassed the level of addiction. After logging in to Fate for two days in a row, I logged out for exactly 6 hours. And then full access again for two days. I have repeated this from the first time I logged in. “This is to the point where you think he’s completely crazy about Fate.”
Kim Seong-cheol understood what Seo Myung-woo meant.
You can’t become stronger just by getting a hidden class. You can become strong only with effort and persistence. In fact, there were quite a few users who kept digging even after obtaining the hidden class.
“X is a guy with both talent and hard work. “No matter what job I have, I can show off my strength and receive attention like I do now.”
“…I admit it. “It was like that during Lean Online.”
“But… “I think X has more to show.”
“?”
Seo Myung-woo continued speaking with a serious face.
“Did the Chairman choose The Chairman, whose thoughts no one can tell? “I don’t think so.”
“That means…”
“You must have something you want to show through X. As I said, no one can guess what it is you want to show.”
Seo Myung-woo shrugged his shoulders.
Seongcheol Kim remained silent. Then he lowered his gaze slightly and looked at the tablet. A paused image of X appeared on the screen. Seongcheol Kim grinned.
“I’m curious. “What will X show in the future?”
Envy and jealousy toward X? Kim Seong-cheol also enjoyed Fate, so he had no choice but to exist. It’s natural to be envious of someone who plays the same game and is successful. But at that time, I ended up ignoring the jealousy.
The user named X was attractive.
Seongcheol Kim played the video.
– Of course, eating with the viewers is the best!
“I can’t believe I’m this strong and still going on with the mukbang. Whether it’s the Chairman on this side or the X on that side, he has an unpredictable personality. So, are you attracted to me?”
In battle, his life-filled eyes were everywhere. Kim Seong-cheol and Myung-woo Seo smiled slightly when they saw X swallowing the soup and spitting out exclamation.

Bright sun!
X arrived at his destination sweating profusely.
Giant jungle zoorphia! At its center are the ruins of an ancient kingdom. X looked at Zurfia with the eyes of a rich man who came to see the land.
“Hmm, the land is large, but transportation is limited….”
Jurpia was located in a remote area in the southwest of the continent. Even if you call it the nearest village, you have to drive for an entire hour to get there.
X nodded, uncrossing his arms.
‘But let’s remember that there is no law that says other lands are unconditionally better.’
Zurpia is characterized by large land.
X briefly organized things in his head and immediately entered the jungle. Zurpia was a large jungle. Because of this, lively monsters appeared that were not subject to the stigma of destruction until they entered the depths.
“Hmm, why are you so fast?”
“Keep your head straight. “Because despite their faces, they are cruel!”
Ukkikki!
Here and there, users were seen fighting to the death with Zurpia’s evil red-masked monkey. X, who glanced around at the users, completed the scan.
‘Is it roughly level 180?’
Considering that the party consisted of at least four people, the starting level of Zurpia could be considered to be an appropriate level of 200. The monsters that appeared were definitely weaker than those on Cosant Island.
‘Still, the jungle is an unpredictable place…’
You must never let down your guard.
X entered the center of Zurpia, leaving the users behind. Slut! Occasionally, red-masked monkeys would throw hard coconut nuts.
“These brats have big livers.”
Thing! However, when X’s spirit, which exceeded a whopping 700, had an overwhelming effect on opponents who were weaker than him.
“found!”
Thanks to this, X was able to discover the ruins of the ancient kingdom without time delay. The ruins of the ancient kingdom hidden in Zurpia were relatively intact. Still, there were abandoned buildings here and there that you could tell were ruins.
“Compared to the Desert of Oblivion or Cossant Island, it’s a good place.”
X passed through the pillar with the brand of destruction engraved on it. This pillar was cursed to brand intruders with destruction, but the effect did not apply to X.
[The ‘Stamp of Destruction’ will be engraved on you!]
[The ‘Stamp of Destruction’ will be nullified by the title’s effect!]
Let’s see if there is a sign of a vengeful spirit…
The land is land, but the quest came first above all else. X worked hard to chase after the vengeful spirit. But I didn’t feel anything in particular.
‘Is there a hidden place like Cossant Island?’
I haven’t explored the vast ruins yet, but there was a good chance I could. Still, X searched through the ruins on the ground. Before we knew it, darkness had fallen on Zurpia.
‘There certainly isn’t.’
It seems that these ghosts are also in a hidden place underground. Now all you have to do is find a passage leading underground. The moment X lowered his head, a strange sound rang out from the sky.
Caw. The crow cries!
But the sound was so loud that it was deafening. X frowned and raised his head to see a huge crow shining in the moonlight. X’s eyebrows twitched.
“Brand of destruction!”
It was already black, so it was hard to see, but the faintly shining pattern on the beak was definitely the stigma of destruction. Moreover, the presence felt was the same as that of the vengeful spirit. X smiled slightly.
“It looks like they plan to wait until nightfall and then fight fiercely in the sky. I think you thought wrong. “There are fighting cocks here too.”
Well, strictly speaking, it’s not a chicken.
X shouted after muttering.
“Let’s go, Yongyong!”
“Kyuuuuu!”
“Hey, this isn’t the time?”
“Kyuuuuu.”
Yongyong seems to have become more affectionate even though we haven’t seen him in a while. After briefly rubbing his head against Booby Booby X, Yongyong started flying. Slut! For a moment, X was shocked when he saw Yongyong’s movements.
“Yongyong, do you grow while you sleep?”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
