Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 293

Chapter 293: Completing The Game of Gods
Mark knew that Luna did not even notice that he had won. She was probably too focused on trying to hide, and she didn’t pay any attention to what was happening around her. Mark went down to a knee and touched Luna, and she jolted as if she was electrocuted with a thousand volts! She quickly lashed out with her hand to hit whoever was in front of her, but Mark caught her hand easily and held it gently while talking.

“Hey, it’s fine now. Everything’s fine.”

Luna’s eyes were wide, and there was a deep glare on her face that showed she was ready to fight for her life. Her breaths were coming out in deep puffs as the adrenaline surging through her body threatened to overwhelm her. But once she saw that it was Mark, her gaze softened, and she deflated as all the tension left her body before she fell forward into his chest. Luna breathed out a sigh of relief as she felt her heartbeat threatening to tear her chest apart. That was the most terrified Luna had been in a long time.

She hit Mark on the chest with her closed fist as she spoke in a hard tone.

“I told you not to leave me, Mark. I told you it was a bad idea. Do you see what happens when you don’t listen to me? I need you to stay with me.”

Mark nodded and patted Luna on the head gently. He didn’t think that the king would go this far, and he was just glad that Luna was alright. Even though Luna was talking harshly, Mark could feel Luna’s hand trembling against his chest. She had been terrified of dying, so Mark could understand.

They still didn’t know what would happen to her if she died in this game. Would she have died in the real world as well, or would she simply be transported back to Earth at the moment that she was taken from? There was a fifty-fifty chance that either one could happen, and knowing how frivolous the gods could be with their decisions, they might just kill Luna because they felt like it was the fair thing to do.

A prompt came up, and Mark glanced at the screen in front of him and exhaled in exhaustion. It was finally over.

…

[The User has successfully completed the Game of Gods.]

[Congratulations, the user has emerged victorious in the Game of Gods. The user has achieved a great feat. For this accomplishment, the user has been granted a new title by the system.]

[The User has gained the title [Mortal Legend]]

[Mortal Legend: This skill bestows the user with a 1% increase in all stats for every 1 million supporters you gain. As the user’s following grows, so too does the user’s strength on the battlefield]

…

Mark read through the new title and he didn’t know if he should be disappointed or not. Mark knew that it was a good title to have. Superhumans are very popular on Earth and it was not going to be difficult for Mark to rack up a lot of followers, especially with how well he has been performing against Anima recently.

But Mark was not the sort of person to go looking for fans. Most superhumans gained fans by being active on social media and other channels. It was very easy for an A-rank superhuman to have more fans than one of the Sovereign simply because the A-rank was more active on social media than the Sovereign. Mark was not going to do any such thing. Mark was not even that active on social media as a child, so it was impossible for him to suddenly get into it now that he was a teenager with bigger fish to fry.

‘I guess I’ll just have to leave this one up to my accomplishments.’

Mark would try to gain fans by simply killing many Anima. That should be enough for him to gain as many fans as possible.

[The User currently possesses 2.1 million fans in the world. All stats have been increased by 2%]

‘Hmm…?’

Mark was stunned as he read through the new message. 2.1 million? Was he really that popular? He thought it would be a lot less than that. Mark wasn’t even on any social media platform, so how the hell did he rack up that many fans already?

After the impressive display that Mark showed against the Eldritch class monster, as well as all the times that he has saved people as Ghost, Mark gained a very significant following both on social media and offline. Even though Mark himself was not interested in social media, there were many people who created fan accounts and MeTube channels dedicated to Mark and his achievements. These people have racked up a significant number of followers and they were all hardcore fans of Ghost.

[The User has completed the game and will now be transported into the domain of Ares, the god of war. Please prepare for transportation.]

Mark slowly felt himself fading away and saw that Luna was also fading away. Luna looked down at her hands in shock and Mark could see a look of fear appearing in her eyes as she didn’t understand what was going on. But Mark smiled at her and muttered gently that everything would be alright.

Just that one sentence allowed Luna to calm down and she nodded to him with a harder gaze before they both vanished from the game.

When Mark opened his eyes again, he was immediately assaulted with a loud voice.

“Boy!! That was amazing!”

Mark winced as he heard the voice talking from right beside him. He turned to the side and he saw a man sitting on top of a barrel. The room that they were in was very similar to an old bar. There were many barrels behind the counter with some seats in front of it. The counter had some beer glasses on it that were half-filled, but there was no one there to drink them.

The man that spoke was a middle-aged man wearing a tank top and long jean trousers. His entire body was well-toned and he had a full Viking-type beard on his chin. He was holding a beer mug in his hand and he drank it all down heartily before laughing even louder as he threw it to the ground and broke it!

Smash!

“The way you handled those servants! Absolutely splendid! Your fighting technique is rough around the edges and you depend too much on your skills to fight, but that is something that can still be worked on! You are a diamond in the rough, it is only proper that you will be rough around the edges!!”

The man looked like he was having way too much fun and Mark had to glance around calmly to try and gauge his environment. The bar was empty, but there were seats on the floor and a few rags were on the counter showing that there were people there just a few seconds ago. The man must’ve cleared out the bar.

Mark turned back to the man and immediately asked what happened to Luna.
