In the hospital room, under Jeremy''sforting embrace, Emma quickly calmed down.
From her, Jeremy learned about the events that had transpired afterward.
It was then he realized that it was Benjamin and Howard who had saved him.
Benjamin hardly needed an introduction.As the mayor of Moonlight City, Jeremy naturally knew him. As for Howard, Jeremy had some recollection as well.
The guy''s level had soared swiftly at the beginning, trailing just behind Jeremy.
However, Howard hadter fallen off the leaderboard.
Jeremy hadn''t expected him to be a federal major general,manding tens of thousands of soldiers.
In the post-apocalyptic world, Howard''s military strength was more than enough to dere himself king.
Jeremy could guess the motives behind their rescue.
In a world where power reigned supreme, the potential he had shown was enough to attract attention.
If Jeremy were in their shoes, he likely would have done the same.
What surprised Jeremy was that four days had passed since he went to rescue ire.
Now, only two days remain until the end of the Sun Chase event.
Jeremy checked the level leaderboard.
Discovered that the top spot was now upied by someone he didn''t remember.
This person, named Kean, had reached level 28.
Following him, other yers had also reached level 27, pushing Jeremy''s ranking out of the top hundred once again.
What surprised Jeremy was that his own level had reached 25.
He remembered being only level 19 before.
It was only after Emma exined that Jeremy realized his frenzied spree had killed a multitude of monsters, catapulting his level far ahead of many yers. Thus, even after four days, he hadn''t fallen too far behind the others.
Jeremy reviewed his character panel.
[Name]: Jeremy

[Ability]: The Eye of Omniscience (SSS)
[Attributes]: Strength 1440, Spirit 2420, Stamina 770, Agility 825

[Equipment]: ze de (Gold), Stealth Mask (Gold), Frostwind de (Gold), Windrider Boots (ck Iron)…
[Items]: Resurrection Coin *1, Awakening Gem *1…
Even during his time in the spirit realm, he had begun to suspect as much.
However, seeing his Spirit attribute surpass his Strength by a whopping 1000 points still left Jeremy in astonishment.
His gains from the time spent in the spirit realm were indeed monumental!
Jeremy then reviewed his other attributes.
After reaching level 25, all his attributes had seen a significant increase.
His Strength had gone up by about 300 points, while his Agility and Stamina had each increased by approximately 160 points.
In addition to this, he had 210 free attribute points to allocate.
Since reaching level 20, for every level up, Jeremy now gained 40 points in fixed Strength and Spirit attributes, 20 points in Stamina and Agility, and 30 free attribute points.
As levels increased, the fixed and free attribute points awarded to yers continued to rise.
Besides the boost in attributes, Jeremy had also acquired three new skills.
[Skill]:Sword of Judgment
[Level]:lv1
[Tier]:High
[Type]:Attack (Active)
[Description]:Upon activation, the yer summons a Sword of Judgment, dealing 300% physical damage to the target, with a cooldown of 15 minutes.
...
[Skill]:gue Curse
[Level]:lv1
[Tier]:High
[Type]:Attack (Active)
[Description]:Upon activation, the yer afflicts the target with a gue Curse, reducing their damage, attributes, and defense by 20%, and randomly inflicting negative statuses such as Bubonic gue, Smallpox, Cholera, or ck Death,sting 15 minutes, with a cooldown of 3 hours.
...
[Skill]:Seven Sins - Gluttony
[Level]:lv1
[Tier]:Super
[Type]:Amplification (Passive)
[Description]:Upon ying a monster, the yer can devour its soul essence, randomly acquiring certain attributes based on the level and tier of the in target, with no cooldown.
...
The first two skills are high-level abilities. "Sword of Judgment" is a single-target damage skill that can inflict significant damage on the target.
"gue Curse," on the other hand, is a curse skill that can not only weaken the opponent''s attribute defense but also afflict the target with negative statuses.
As monsters be higher level, such skills will undoubtedly y a significant role in future battles.
"Sword of Judgment" and "gue Curse" are skills Jeremy acquired after reaching level 20. It''smon for yers to gain new skills every 10 levels, so there''s nothing surprising there.
What did catch Jeremy slightly off guard was the skill "Seven Sins - Gluttony."
It grants random attributes with each enemy killed!
While contemting the skill description of "Seven Sins - Gluttony," a thoughtful expression appeared in Jeremy''s eyes.
His mind shed back to the moment in the spirit world when the purple orb from the Devouring Tyrant merged into his body, granting him the "Devour" ability.
If someone were to say that the Devouring Tyrant and the sphemers were unrted, he would definitely not believe it.
From the words of [the world], it''s not hard to see that there is some connection between the sphemers and the Apocalypse Game.

Theattributesandskillsof"World''sFirstyer"werequitedecent.
Theskill"DeadlyStrike"isactuallymoresuitedforprofessionswithhighattackfrequency.
Forinstance,archersorgunners.
However, Jeremy possesses the Eye of Omniscience, which allows him to discern the weaknesses of monsters. Lethal attacks are easier for him to execute, making this skill potentially devastating against high-level monsters.
After equipping the "World''s First Kill" title, Jeremy saw an increase of 120 points across his attributes.
Titles are a type of special gear that yers can equip multiple of, so he didn''t need to rece his "Pioneer" title.
However, more than the "World''s First Kill" and "Lethal Strike," Jeremy''s attention was primarily captured by the "Resurrection Coin" item.
Astonishingly, it was a precious resurrection item that, aside from a cooldown period, had almost no conditions for use!
The rarity of such an item goes without saying, and even Jeremy was somewhat thrilled by it.
In the face of an irresistible crisis, this Resurrection Coin could spare him from death once. Essentially, it was as if he had one more life than others!
Jeremy calmed the excitement in his heart and proceeded to inspect the equipment he had acquired from the Skyrakers.

By now, Jeremy had pretty much gone through all the new items he had acquired.
He decided to save the 210 free attribute points for when he might need themter.
Unfortunately, he hadn''t had time to pick up the items dropped by the Devouring Tyrant, leaving them in themercial square.
However, ording to Emma, ire was holding onto them for him temporarily.
This news was a relief to Jeremy.
He was genuinely worried that the fruits of his hard-won battle might end up in someone else''s hands. Let alone anything else, just the high-level skill book alone was worth a lot.
Next, Jeremy nned to upgrade his skill levels, only to awkwardly find that he only had 1st and 2nd tier energy crystals at hand, he had used up all his 3rd and 4th tier energy crystals previously.
Jeremy didn''t have much time to collect energy crystals in themercial square, and now the thought pained him.
But there was nothing he could do about it. Energy crystals were noparison to his life.
Since these lower-tier energy crystals were of little use left, Jeremy decided to use them all to enhance his attributes.
In the end, he gained about 130 points in random attributes.
After putting onthe Ring of the Firmament,his attributes increased by 40 points across the board, then he nced at his stat panel.
His strength attribute had reached 1632 points, and his agility had broken through 1000 points, reaching 1029 points.
Jeremy clenched his fist, feeling a surge in his strength.
He estimated that bullets probably posed no threat to him now.
But Jeremy knew this was just the beginning of being superhuman.
As yers leveled up, they could one day possess the power to destroy heavens and earth, just like the gods of legend!
That would truly be superhuman, truly transcending the ordinary!
