Chapter One Hundred and Seventeen
The sky shimmered with a faint golden hue as Crow stood at the summit of a ruined goblin fortress. The deathly silence was broken only by the distant groans of the fallen, now part of his ever-growing undead army.
Suddenly, a system alert appeared before him, glowing crimson and gold.
[System Alert – World Announcement!]
Player "Crow" is the first to reach Level 30!
Reward Granted: 1x SSSS Rank Hero Summon Book!
All players will receive 1x Basic Health Potion.
—End of Announcement—
Across the globe, players went into a frenzy.
"Level 30?! That's impossible!"
"He was just at 25 yesterday!"
"What the hell is an SSSS Rank Hero Book!?"
Crow ignored the noise as a black and gold-bound tome materialized before him. It pulsed with divine energy.
Item Acquired: [SSSS Rank Hero Summon Book]
Note: Hero summoned will be beyond SSS rank. Attributes and abilities are significantly superior. One use only.
He studied the book, eyes narrowing. "Let's see who fate offers me this time."
He raised his hand and activated the book. A swirling vortex of starlight, shadow, and blood-red mist opened before him. From it stepped a figure.
She radiated power. Her silver hair floated as if underwater, and dark crystalline armor shimmered over her tall frame. Behind her, six black-and-gold wings folded in.
Hero Summoned: Zephyra, Eternal Arbiter of Twilight (SSSS Rank)
Race: Demi-Goddess of Balance
Class: Twilight Warden
Role: Anti-Magic, Commander, World Judge
Zephyra opened her glowing amethyst eyes, then slowly kneeled before Crow.
"I have seen your dominion, and I acknowledge your supremacy. I am yours to command."
Crow gave a small nod. "Then rise, Zephyra. There's much to be done."
Behind him, the skies darkened slightly. The world was watching—and panicking. The balance of power was no longer in question.
It belonged to Crow.
