The World Turned into a Game After I Woke up

“Shit! Flooding Time!” Claudia gathered all of the time she had stolen and accumulated and poured it all into the attacks she threw at Lee Jiwon. She even used the time she had stolen from her fellow Crootians, but it was all in vain. The time she had stolen came from the three timelines of the Judge’s Continent she had synched with. In other words, Lee Jiwon needed to exist on one of those timelines for her attacks to work!

It wasn’t that she could use time to force her opponents to suddenly grow old and kill them. Her ability instead could sharply raise her opponents’ Fatigue instantly. Having a Fatigue as high as 90, or even 80, sharply decreased one’s combat abilities. Lee Jiwon, however, was perfectly fine!

“Fuck!” He shouldn’t be fine after taking Flooding Time head on like that. All her past opponents that had fallen victim to the Skill were shocked at how their Fatigue had suddenly risen by at least 30, but nothing changed with Lee Jiwon. Claudia realized that Flooding Time also didn’t work on Lee Jiwon, just like Severed Time.

Claudia could only think of one word to describe Lee Jiwon: Nemesis! Lee Jiwon was the inescapable agent of Croot’s downfall. But Claudia didn’t have any more time to think, as Lee Jiwon continued to cut down her helpless soldiers like a madman. Her army had already suffered countless casualties from Lee Jiwon’s three AoE skills; she couldn’t let him use them again.

“Shit! I bring the Severed Time to one timeline! Combined Time!” Claudia had no choice but to deactivate Severed Time, but only for her soldiers.

“Attack! Focus all of your attacks at Lee Jiwon!” Claudia cried at her freed soldiers, but as she gave the order, she felt a sense of hopelessness. She desperately wanted to ask someone, anyone, why only Lee Jiwon was immune to her control of time!

“Stalagmite!”

“Blizzard!”

“Iron Body!”

“Dancing Fire Sparks!”

“Razor Wind Storm!”

“Billowing Flame Pillars!”

“Razor Wind!”

A volley of powerful spells was fired at me by the enemy soldiers the moment they were freed from Severed Time, but I was not afraid of their attacks. I only had Claudia the Time Controller to worry about. She was no doubt a powerful enemy, with the ability to hold down more than four million strong deva soldiers at the same time. Overpowered wasn’t enough to describe her abilities, but either way, they were useless against me. That fact alone gave me the strength to fight harder.

The spells and Skills finally found their mark and crashed into me. I didn’t even try to avoid them, and let my unnaturally high HP deal with them. I only lost a few hundred thousand points, which was quickly healed back through my Harrier’s HP absorb effect. I also made sure to pay them back tenfold.

“Gah!”

“No!”

I landed critical hit after critical hit, and the enemy soldiers were clumped together. Each time I swung or stabbed my spear, I killed two to three soldiers at a time.

“Follow the commander!”

“Don’t let the commander fight alone!”

“Yaaah!”

My soldiers, also freed from Claudia’s Severed Time now, roared and charged forth to catch up to me.

“Earth Armor, Brilliant Blessing, Roar of Rage!”

“Fatal Blows!”

==[You have received the effects of Earth Armor.

Penetration Resistance increased by 120 points.

DEF increased by 15%, MDEF increased by 12% while this skill is in effect.]==

==[You have received the effects of Brilliant Blessing.

All Stats increased by 1,000 points while this skill is in effect.]==

==[You have received the effects of Roar of Rage.

ATT and MATT increased by 9.5% while this skill is in effect.]==

==[You have received the effects of Fatal Blows.

CRIT rate increased by 5.5%, CRIT damage increased by 350% while this skill is in effect.]==

I was showered by buffs that increased my combat abilities around 10%. A 10% increase to someone like me could inflict tremendous damage.

“Gah!”

“Gurk!”

But seeing as how I was already killing the enemy soldiers with one attack already, I unfortunately couldn’t really notice the effects of the buffs heaped upon me.

“Shit! Stop him! Someone, please stop him!”

“He’s killing the tanks with one hit, too! How the hell is he getting all those critical hits so easily?”

“The deities! Where the hell are the deities, and what are they doing?”

It was pure chaos for the enemy’s army. I kept my eye on Claudia as I mercilessly killed the Crootian soldiers around me, who scrambled over one another to get away from my spear’s range.

This battle would end with her death!

Section 3…

“Hmph. So it’s begun.” When Dunia learned that the battle between Croot and Earth had finally begun, Dunia made his move. It was time to use the Windsor Guard and the Nayuta Guild to attack the Empire from the rear. Dunia already knew by this point that his plans had been uncovered by the Empire, thanks to his ability to learn whatever he wanted. But Dunia went ahead with his plans anyway, since the Windsor Guard and the Nayuta Guild were expendable resources. He didn’t expect much from Claudia in the first place.

“Well, I’ll be content if I can at least destroy their morale,” Dunia said to himself, taking out his Comm Link to tell the two guilds to make their move.

Dunia may have had the ability to learn most of what he wanted to know, but Lee Jiwon had somehow escaped his grasp. As a result, Dunia did not know that Claudia had placed herself into the maw of the lion. No, it was more accurate to say that Dunia did not expect Lee Jiwon, of all people, to be able to stand up against Claudia in the first place. Dunia had truly believed that Claudia was the stronger of the two, since Dunia knew all about her abilities.

As Dunia made his way to begin his part of the invasion, he decided to stop paying attention to the battle between the two worlds. This turned out to be Dunia’s gravest mistake, but he did not know that yet.

Claudia had lost the will to continue when Severed Time failed to do anything to the enemy army. This was the first and only time it had failed her. But now the battle was in full swing, so it was hard to say which side was in the lead.

Claudia also caught herself thinking about retreat instead of trying to figure out how to recover. Each time Lee Jiwon crept closer to her, Claudia unconsciously took a step back. When she realized this, she had to force herself to stop, and glared at Lee Jiwon with her teeth clenched. He was the first ever to teach her what fear was, but at the same time, he was someone she absolutely had to kill. He was Croot’s one and only nemesis!

Claudia made her decision; she had to kill Lee Jiwon, no matter what it cost! There was no way Earth had someone else as special as him!

“Open Stats Menu.” When Claudia opened her Stats Menu, she finally realized the damage Lee Jiwon’s Altered Equality had done to her. “Tsk. There’s a Skill for everything,” she muttered to herself. Claudia’s strongest Stats were INT, VIT, and WIL, but now all of her Stat points were distributed equally to all five of her Stats.

She quickly brushed it off and closed her Stats Menu. It didn’t matter anymore, thanks to the Skill she was about to activate.

“Time Absorption: Maximum!”

==[Your appropriated time will now be used to increase your five Stats.

This effect will last for 24 hours. After that, the time used will vanish.]==

When Claudia had first gained her Time Control ability, she busily used up all of the time she stole from others. But as she grew stronger, she began saving up all of the time she took from her enemies. Still, she was strong in terms of levels, items, and Skills, even without taking all of the time she had absorbed into account. But Claudia knew that this was no time for arrogance, with Lee Jiwon right in front of her. He was powerful, more powerful than Angel. She could not underestimate him.

“I’m beginning to think Adora should have faced Lee Jiwon, not me,” Claudia said with self-regret, but she knew that it was too late for such thoughts. If Adora realized that Lee Jiwon was Claudia’s perfect nemesis, he would happily throw down his weapons. That was how much Adora hated Claudia and wanted to usurp her.

“Alright! Let’s end it here!” Once her Time Absorption was completed, Claudia drew her Atlas greatsword and charged at Lee Jiwon.

“Lee Jiwon is my target! Back away from him and attack him from a distance!” Claudia ordered her soldiers as she headed Lee Jiwon’s way. There was no way she was going to fight Lee Jiwon alone.

“Gah!”

“Erk!”

I wished I had at least one more AoE Skill. It was definitely harder to fight against an army of two million than when I fought against Angel’s army. I at least had a crazy Angel who could no longer tell friend from foe to use to distract his army, but these soldiers were completely focused on me. While my AoE skills were definitely some of the strongest out there, their cooldowns were just as long. I was starting to get annoyed, as there was no end to the Crootian soldiers and Claudia continued to back away from me. But just when I was about to shout out in frustration, I noticed Claudia suddenly charging at me, wielding a sword too big for her.

I quickly shifted my attention from the enemy soldiers and charged at Claudia. This battle, this war, ended with her death. When we drew close enough to each other, Claudia swung her massive greatsword at my head. I raised my spear to block the attack and was rewarded with a greater force than I had expected. I couldn’t help, but jump back from the force of the blow.

“What is this? Were you a fighter class?” I could figure out what my opponents’ combat styles were just by fighting them. The Empire had presumed Claudia to be a ranged class, and that was what I was expecting when I first encountered her today. But Claudia didn’t stick around to humor me.

“What are you all doing? Don’t give Lee Jiwon any breathing room! Lee Jiwon dies here today!”

“Yes, ma’am!”

Claudia just outright ignored my question, as if she was annoyed that I hadn’t answered her questions a few minutes ago. “Hmph! Fine, let’s see who outlasts who!”

If this was going to be a melee fight, then I was more than confident I could win. I raised my spear and charged at Claudia again, thrusting at her chest as hard and fast as I could.

“Tsk!” Unfortunately, I was instead rewarded with a clanging of metal as Claudia had just as quickly brought her sword around to block my attack with her giant blade.

“Huh. Would you look at that?” Not only was my STR over 270k, my AGI was well over 180k. It was impossible for anyone to block my attack, but Claudia barely got away with it. But, she didn’t get away from my attack cleanly. She frowned heavily and was pushed back a few meters from the force of the blow.

“Fuck! Just how high are your Stats?!” Claudia complained angrily.

“That’s what I want ask!” I knew that my Stats were definitely higher, but hers definitely didn’t lag behind much!

“Shit!”
