Kael closed his eyes and took a long breath.
He really couldn’t understand these people.
After several seconds, he finally released a tired sigh.
"You know what?"
He looked at the caravan.
"It’s not worth the effort. Let’s just get this over with."
Kael reorganized the scattered NPCs and returned them to the carriages, making sure everyone was accounted for before continuing the journey.
The caravan began moving once again.
This time, thankfully, nothing else happened.
The caravan simply followed the route Kael had been given, traveling deeper through the forest until the destination finally came into view.
Kael glanced at the location displayed within his mind.
They had arrived.
The moment the caravan came to a complete stop at its destination, a notification screen appeared before Kael.
[FLOOR 11 COMPLETE — HELL DIFFICULTY]
[Rating: SS]
[Enemies Defeated: 137]
[EXP Gained: 77,550]
[Tower Coins Gained: 11,000]
[+10 Drifting Cloud Incense (E-Rank)]
[Infinite Reward Multiplier — Activated!]
[Multiplier: x1,270]
[Reward Adjusted:]
[EXP Gained: 98,488,500]
[Tower Coins Gained: 13,970,000]
[+12,700 Drifting Cloud Incense (E-Rank)]
[You’ve Leveled Up ×3]
Kael read through the notifications from top to bottom.
"Not bad."
A multiplier of one thousand two hundred and seventy times wasn’t anything to complain about, but it wasn’t particularly insane either. Kael had already seen much higher multipliers from his talent, so he didn’t feel particularly excited by the number.
The EXP and Tower Coins were excellent, of course.
Ninety-eight million EXP was nothing to scoff at, and nearly fourteen million Tower Coins would always be useful.
Yet there was something else on the screen that caught his attention.
The Drifting Cloud Incense.
Kael stared at the reward.
Then he stared at it again.
"What’s this?"
His brows furrowed.
Normally, when his Infinite Reward Multiplier affected items, it didn’t simply increase their quantity. Instead, the talent usually attempted to improve their quality, pushing an item toward a higher rank or a superior version whenever possible.
That was what made the talent so ridiculous.
If he obtained an item, the multiplier didn’t necessarily mean he would receive thousands of copies of the same thing. Instead, the item itself could become vastly better.
Yet this time, that hadn’t happened.
Ten pieces of E-Rank Drifting Cloud Incense had become twelve thousand seven hundred pieces.
The rank hadn’t changed.
The quality hadn’t changed.
Only the quantity had.
Why?
Kael’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the notification.
There had to be a reason.
But before he could investigate the matter further, a strange sensation suddenly tugged at his consciousness.
The world around him blurred.
The forest.
The caravan.
The featureless humanoid figures.
Everything vanished.
Kael’s consciousness briefly sank into darkness.
When his awareness returned, he was once again standing inside the Tower’s start room.
He didn’t even bother looking around.
His attention remained fixed on the Drifting Cloud Incense.
Kael immediately opened his inventory and pulled out a single piece.
It looked ordinary enough.
A small incense stick.
Nothing about its appearance suggested that it was particularly special.
Still, Kael wasn’t interested in appearances.
His eyes activated.
The power of Eye of Judgment swept across the incense.
Information immediately appeared within his vision.
