Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player

Chapter 342: Windfall gains

The end to the ‘First Annual Rankers’ event was different from what Leo expected.

While it ended on a high note with all the players receiving a class information pack, which Leo could only assume was something highly valuable, when he took a look at the new updated global rankings he could not help but feel utterly surprised by how the event played out.

17) SkyLion :- Level 207

********

The global rankings had seen a major shuffling and the second highest player to make major gains from this event was some individual named ‘GoneGirl’ , who was still a whopping 23 levels behind him in terms of his real level, while an even larger 33 levels behind the leaderboard leader ‘TheBoss’.

In total there were only 22 players who had crossed the level 200 threshold, however, Leo found himself only 18 levels away from the level 300 threshold, giving him a near 80 level lead on even the top players in the game.

“Well I’ll be damned…. I thought I did not perform all that well in this event and that someone would overtake me for sure, however, it seems like I was wrong.

I performed extremely well in this event it seems and have widened my gap to the rest by a fair margin.

Surely, this will give me some much needed breathing room to focus on my life as a merchant and a Baron” Leo muttered in elation as he realized that after this event he would be under no immediate pressure to level up, since everyone else would need to work hard just to catch up to him already.

“Is this what they mean when they say that the top1% keep getting richer while the bottom players become poorer?

Have I faked my success so much that I’ve actually become what I faked?” Leo questioned, as he felt like a tycoon who was getting richer without even trying hard to become wealthy.

“Open Stat Panel” Leo muttered next, as he wanted to take a look at just how many free attribute points he had lying around now.

**********

Looking at his stat panel, Leo realized that he now has a whopping 1120 stat points to spare.

With his highest stat being only at 330, Leo felt like he could distribute 150-200 points to each of his stats and gain approximately 40-45% buff over where he was just a few hours ago.

In the end, Leo decided to give both strength and speed 200 stat points each, and distribute the rest evenly amongst all other attributes, giving them 180 each, spending the entirety of his 1120 point haul in one go.

Warm energy washed over Leo’s entire body as soon as he did this, making him feel like he was receiving a therapeutic massage that was relieving every single muscle tissue in his body of built-up stress, bringing immense joy to him, but only ten times more intensely.

“Ohhh yeah… fuck, the feeling of levelling up, it’s better than any orgasm any hand job can ever give” Leo muttered, as he genuinely felt more hormones being released in his body as he levelled up, than he had ever felt when he came alone in a bathroom.

He could feel the changes happening to his game character at a cellular level…. The muscle fibers improved in quality, the bone density changed, his red blood cells became more potent and capable of carrying more oxygen to his muscles and his mana circuit became smoother, being able to carry larger volumes of mana at once.

For Leo, these changes still seemed like something that would be limited to the game, however, little did he know that these changes were soon going to carry over to real life as well, making his actual body as good as his in-game one.

“Ohhh yeah….. if I rejoined the grand tournament with this body, I’ll probably be able to defeat all three other semi-finalists alone with an arm tied behind my back…” Leo concluded after throwing a few light jabs and feeling the new and improved agility and dexterity of his body, as he felt like his grand tournament opponents would stand no chance if they faced him in this form.

However, while Leo focused on his new and improved body, what he forgot to check-up on was the on-going uproar on the global forums, as the common people had started to lose their minds when they saw that the top rankers had suddenly gained a tonne of levels.

( Meanwhile Cervantez )

Cervantez could not understand how ‘TheBoss’ was still number one? And how he too had managed to gain +100 levels from this rankers event.

‘I did not see him there….. unless he was there wearing something unlike his usual black dress and mask, I’m sure he wasn’t there…. But if he has gained so many levels then he had to be there…. But if he was there then where?’ Cervantez thought, scratching his head, as he had actively been looking for ‘TheBoss’ in the lobby but had failed to find him….. and he wasn’t the only one to do so, as there were a dozen other rankers currently who were thinking the same thing as him, as they too wanted to know, how ‘TheBoss’ was still number one?
