The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

“I’m going to teach you how to craft God-tier items.”

“G-God-tier?!”

The people’s eyes widened.

They already knew how incredible God-tier items were, thanks to the angels.

They also knew that Condensed Aether, obtained from the round rewards, was a God-tier material.

“Every one of you should have Condensed Aether. But most of you probably don’t know what to combine it with to create a God-tier item. Don’t worry. I know all the recipes.”

No one questioned how he knew them.

After all, no one asks a blacksmith where he learned to forge weapons.

They simply hoped that the Black Scythe would craft their items for them.

That was exactly what Ryu Min intended.

“I will personally craft God-tier items for you all. So bring out your materials and submit them to the front.”

Without hesitation, people stepped forward, handing over their materials.

Since they didn’t know the combination recipes, these materials were practically useless to them.

Even if their materials ended up benefiting someone else, they had no attachment to them.

Soon, a large pile of materials accumulated on the platform.

From completely worthless scraps to essential materials for God-tier crafting, the collection was incredibly diverse.

After the submission ended, Ryu Min carefully examined the materials and shook his head slightly.

“We don’t have enough to craft 285 God-tier items.”

At those words, sighs of disappointment spread through the crowd.

If there weren’t enough materials, that meant some people wouldn’t receive a God-tier item.

But before despair could take hold, Ryu Min let out a small chuckle.

“There’s no need to worry. Fortunately, the Special Shop allows me to purchase the missing materials using points.”

With that, Ryu Min accessed the Special Shop and bought the necessary materials.

The total cost? Only 1 million points.

And he still had 16 million points left.

Yet, despite spending such a tiny fraction of his resources, the people stared at him with awe and deep admiration, as if he were performing an unprecedented act of generosity.

‘They’re looking at me like I’m some kind of saint…’

Amused by their expressions, Ryu Min smiled behind his mask and, once all preparations were complete, addressed the crowd.

“Line up in a single file and come forward one by one.”

The moment he spoke, a long line immediately formed.

“Black Scythe himself is crafting a God-tier item for us?!”

Their hearts pounded with excitement as they prepared to stand face-to-face with him.

Ryu Min called the first person forward.

“You have Condensed Aether, right?”

“Yes!”

“Good. Take these materials and place them in the sub-material slots. For the main material, use any Master-tier gloves.”

“G-Gloves?”

“Yes. The required materials differ depending on the equipment type, so don’t be disappointed if it’s not your preferred piece of gear.”

Ryu Min raised his voice slightly so that those waiting in line could hear as well.

It was indeed regrettable that they couldn’t choose the exact equipment slot they wanted.

But just obtaining a God-tier item was already a massive gain.

“Ooooh! I actually crafted God-tier gloves! And the stats are insane!”

“Don’t hold up the line. Step aside and let the next person through.”

One by one, people stepped up, and Ryu Min distributed the appropriate materials to each of them.

Although he claimed to be assigning them randomly, he was actually reading their thoughts and matching the equipment to their preferred slot as closely as possible.

As a result, nearly everyone left with a satisfied expression.

“Min Juri. You’ll craft a helmet.”

“Jo Yong-ho. Here’s what you need for a God-tier chestplate.”

“Seo Arin. You’ll be making boots.”

“Thank you so much, Black Scythe-nim!”

Gratitude poured in from every direction as people received their crafting materials.

The atmosphere grew livelier, with gasps of amazement filling the hall.

However, no one had crafted a weapon yet.

That was because God-tier weapons required two Condensed Aethers instead of just one.

After Ryu Min distributed the final batch of materials, the resources were completely depleted—exactly as he had planned.

‘With this, they should have a much better chance of surviving the war.’

Though the process had been tedious, there was still one last thing left to do.

“Now that you all have your God-tier equipment, put them away for a moment and listen to me carefully.”

As soon as he spoke, the noisy room fell silent.

Because what he was about to say next…

Was the most important piece of information yet.

“From this moment on, I will explain the 18th round.”

At those words, everyone held their breath and leaned in.

“The 18th round quest is going to be a group mission—‘Win the War.’”

“A… war?”

“Yes. The battle between angels and demons. And we, the players, will be forced to fight on the angels’ side against the demons.”

The moment they heard that, shock spread through the crowd.

Many players hated the Angels.

Some even saw the demons as less of an enemy in comparison.

But now they were being forced to fight alongside angels?

“This… this is ridiculous!”

“There’s no way we can team up with those bastards!”

The players voiced their outrage, but Ryu Min’s tone remained cold and composed.

“Whether you like it or not, that’s how the quest is designed. You’ll be forced into a party with angels and fight alongside them.”

“No way! I’d rather die than help the angels!”

Ryu Min’s golden eyes glowed beneath his mask.

“If you don’t cooperate, you will die.”

Silence.

The weight of those words settled heavily on the crowd.

“If we fail this war, we will all be erased.”

Their anger turned into unease.

Because they knew he was right.

The system would never allow them to ignore the main quest.

“How about we betray them and kill the angels… … .”

“You can’t. As I said, it’s a party, so team killing is impossible.”

“Is…” one person hesitated. “Is there really no other way?”

“…”

Ryu Min paused for a moment.

Then, he smirked beneath his mask.

“Actually… there is a way.”
