I Became an Illegal Cheat User - Chapter 117



117 – The Fifth Cheat (1)

Having confirmed the information about Leviathan.

Only two things remain.

[Number of Select Cheat Tokens: 5]

[Number of Random Cheat Tokens: 17]

Activating the fifth cheat and opening the elixir given by the chairman.

However, I have no intention of doing either of those things right here and now.

To be precise, the conditions do not allow it.

‘…I can’t cause another incident.’

Speed limit lifted.

Didn’t I blow up the infirmary when I opened that cheat?

Didn’t I almost create a huge hole in the training ground and kill a staff member?

So, to ensure such mistakes never happen again, I decided to conduct the cheat activation in a safe place that wouldn’t harm the academy, to prevent any forced administration of the antidote to Gangcheol.

And I plan to add the receipt of rewards to that decision.

And rightly so.

As I pulled out the spear, a loud crash echoed.

With the acquisition of the Leviathan, a whoosh followed.

Not only did I turn the space meant for relaxation into a chaotic mess, but I also completely burned it down.

“…By the way, where do I apply for the restoration of the room’s items?”

Should I go to the supply department?

&

“I’m glad you weren’t hurt. Still, please refrain from testing item performance in the dormitory next time. Not only could you get injured, but the cleanliness magic circle installed in the room could also be damaged.”

Fortunately, I didn’t need to visit multiple places; the supply department accepted my application for the restoration of the room’s items.

“Yes, I will keep that in mind. And thank you.”

With the application for item restoration completed, I expressed my gratitude to GOAT Baek Young-woo, who I hadn’t seen in a while and still looked exhausted, before leaving the supply department.

Click.

As I closed the door of the supply department, I glanced at my right wrist.

I checked the time displayed on my smartwatch.

Current time: 06:52.

And the time remaining until class starts: 3 hours and 8 minutes.

‘This much time should be enough.’

Even with the cheat unlocked and taking potions, I wouldn’t be late for class.

In fact, even after checking the S-rank weapons I had just acquired, I had more than enough time to attend class.

Still, I had no intention of dawdling.

I kept my mind relaxed while moving my body swiftly.

I headed to a place where I could comfortably unlock the cheats.

&

“Is this sufficient?”

“Yes, this should be enough. And thank you so much for helping me despite your busy schedule, Principal.”

“Haha, what is there to thank me for?”

The principal chuckled warmly and waved his wand toward the air.

In an instant, instead of books and shelves, an infinite library filled with protective magic circles shimmered, emitting a blue light.

“Child, if you wish to leave this place or if anything happens, just call my name. I will bring you out of here.”

As the principal confirmed that all the magic circles were activated, he spoke those words, and then his figure vanished.

I was expelled from the Infinite Library through teleportation and returned to the Great Saint and the Sword Master, who were restoring the shattered sky.

“…The principal has left.”

The reason I came here.

Shall I take a moment to open the cheat?

“But first,”

I opened my inventory.

From within, I pulled out a box that looked incredibly luxurious.

“I should take the elixir the chairman gave me.”

I wondered what kind of elixir it could be.

With a heart full of anticipation, I opened the box.

What emerged was an elixir that exuded a fragrance similar to that of the Spirit Essence.

At the same time, it revealed an immense power contained within.

────────────────────

【(Copy) Spirit Essence (S)】

An elixir that expands the vessel of the spirit.

Not only does it enhance the mental strength of the user, but it also improves resistance to spirit damage.

– Upon consumption, mental strength +70

– Upon consumption, expands the vessel of the spirit and recovers damage.

– Upon consumption, the mental ability ‘Spirit Power’ is generated.

– Upon consumption, the special ability ‘Soul Resistance’ is generated.

– Upon consumption, the special ability ‘Mental Resistance’ is generated.

– Upon consumption, the special ability ‘Magical Resistance’ is generated.

– Upon consumption, the special ability ‘Divine Resistance’ is generated.

– Upon consumption, the special ability ‘Curse Resistance’ is generated.

(When possessing special abilities, stats increase)

────────────────────

Indeed, the chairman!

He doesn’t just give any old gift.

With gratitude towards the chairman, who shares a heart like mine, I popped the Spirit Essence into my mouth.

Just like any other elixir, the Spirit Essence melted away smoothly.

At the same moment, a sharp, fragrant essence similar to that of the Spirit Elixir filled my mouth.

Kugugugugugugugugung…!!

The energy contained within the Soul Elixir began to surge through my body.

‘Oh…! Is this time different?!’

When I consumed the Spirit Elixir, I felt nothing at all.

Perhaps because it’s an S-rank elixir, the sensation is indeed different.

But that feeling was fleeting.

Kugugugung…,

The wild energy racing through my body quickly subsided.

And just like that, it was absorbed completely.

“…Is this it?”

I feel no change whatsoever.

“No… it’s the Soul Elixir.”

It’s an S-rank elixir.

And it said in the description that it would expand the vessel of the spirit.

So why do I feel nothing at all?

Why is there no sensation of my spirit expanding?

“…Is my spirit really that insignificant?”

Last time, when I consumed the Spirit Elixir, I thought there was no issue with my soul, so I brushed it off.

But this time, the Soul Elixir is explicitly about ‘expansion.’ Not ‘enhancement’ like the Spirit Elixir, but ‘expansion.’

So I can’t just let this slide.

I need to check my spirit.

…Or at least, I want to.

Unfortunately, I currently lack the talent and skills to verify my spirit.

So is it truly that my spirit is insignificant?

Or is it so extraordinary that even after taking the elixir, there are no signs of change?

There’s no way to find out.

“…In the end, I guess I have no choice but to wait for the next opportunity.”

Of course, I can’t be sure if I’ll be able to check the state of my spirit then either.

But it’s better to hold onto the hope of checking later than to simply let it go without any means of verification.

“I don’t know what the future holds.”

Even without acquiring talents and skills, there may come a time when I need to check the state of my soul.

So, I decided to leave this matter to my future self.

“Shall I check my status window for the first time in a while?”

I opened the status window that I hadn’t checked since the explosion in the hospital room.

“…Is this really my status window?”

I found myself voicing a question, almost unconsciously, at the status window that filled my vision far more than before.

Especially the mental abilities.

Why has that increased so much?

“…Mentality at 270.”

From noble mtl dot com

With a figure like that, the Apostle’s mental attacks wouldn’t stand a chance, would they?

The mental stat had risen to such a high level that I couldn’t help but think that way.

And not just the mental power; the entire status window had become remarkably abundant.

It was only natural for questions to arise.

But before long.

“Well… I’ve gone through enough hardship to deserve this.”

Recalling the struggles and quests I had faced so far, I quickly accepted the changes in my status window.

“By the way, with these stats, what tier would I be at?”

At the very least, I must be upper-tier, right?

As I pondered this, I activated my insight.

[Total Stats: 724 / Upper-tier]

“Just as I thought.”

As expected, my tier was confirmed to be upper-tier.

“If I add in the item enhancement values, would I reach top-tier?”

That seems likely.

With the item enhancement values included, my total stats would be in the 1,900 range.

“I’ve really become strong.”

Of course, that’s just talk; I still feel like I have a long way to go.

After all, there are still many people and foes stronger than I am right now.

So, to move forward.

To become even stronger.

I opened the cheat tool.
