Chapter 23: (1): Season 1- Preparation
“It felt like it was impossible…”
Hyun-seok opened his status window. The new title he had obtained was ‘The Pioneer of the Impossible.’ It was a title that could only be obtained by achieving an impossible feat ten times over.

The Slayer title can be applied up to a maximum of five times. So, the previous titles of Mosquito and Mayfly Slayer were removed and the titles of Orc and Twin-head Orc Slayer were applied. The effects of the titles cancel each other out, so in the end you get 1 strength stat and 1 agility stat.
However, that wasn’t the important part.
He obtained the title through the initial 100 stat points, which gave him a bonus of 3 stat points each. It was an achievement that was relatively easy to obtain, and Hyun-seok didn’t struggle much to get to 100. He had excellent items such as the electric fly swatter, which made it relatively easy.
But this achievement wasn’t difficult for Hyun-seok either. However, the achievement was categorized as “impossible achievements,” and the bonus stats were enormous. Hyun-seok was intentionally saving his stats to easily obtain impossible achievements like this one in EZ mode, so he wouldn’t have to forcefully switch to Normal mode.
However, when the difficulty of Easy mode reached its limit, Hyun-seok received a penalty in the achievement system by achieving 10 impossible achievements. In exchange for the penalty, he obtained the title “The Pioneer of the Impossible.”
Among the rewards of the achievement system, the rewards for impossible achievements give a considerable amount of bonus stats. Hyun-seok’s remaining stats were a whopping 395. Considering that he received a 50% penalty, the original reward for the impossible achievement was 790.
Currently, the first-ranked Combat Slayer, Ha Jong-won, had 38 Strength when he first awakened and now has 82. Jong-won invested most of his points in Strength, except for the points he obtained initially. He gained approximately 60 bonus stats, which is already significant, but Hyun-seok’s bonus stats were more than 13 times that amount.
“The Pioneer of the Impossible…”
For a while, Hyun-seok stared blankly at the stat window that only he could see. It was unbelievable. The bonus stat for the Pioneer of the Impossible was not a fixed value like the other stats. It was a compensation that rewarded 100% of the remaining stats he had. This meant that he could fully recover all the penalties he had received so far, assuming he hadn’t used any of his stats.
And that assumption perfectly suited Hyun-seok. He had actually not used any of his remaining stats. The system had imposed penalties on him for exceeding the easy mode standard, but it also provided a way to overcome those penalties, and Hyun-seok had seized the opportunity. He couldn’t express it any other way than saying he was lucky. He had thought about it and it had worked out perfectly.
“If I had used all my remaining stats…”
If he had, then the compensation for the Pioneer of the Impossible would have been zero. This was literally a jackpot. It seemed like a reward made just for Hyun-seok.
“Then…what about my remaining stats?”
It was enough to make anyone gasp. Hyun-seok’s remaining stats were a whopping 790.
“With this amount…I might be able to switch to normal mode!”
Hyun-seok cautiously began to increase his stats one by one.
