Sure enough,
Just like in the game.
All experience gained by the Eclipse underlings who have entered into a “contract” with him in battle will be entirely owned by him, provided they are in the “main queue,” which means they have to be nearby.
After quickly scanning the popped-up window, Renji shifted his gaze to another panel.
[Current maximum number of contracted Eclipse: 1]
[Contracted quantity: 1/1]
[Name: Eileen]
[Eclipse Rank: ★★★ (Common)]
[Current Eclipse Role: Vanguard]
[Level: 10]
[Basic Attributes: Strength D+, Agility C-, Physique C, Stamina D-, Special Ability D-]
[Advanced Attributes: Luck E, Miasma Affinity D]
[Skills]
– [(Common) Berserk Lv1: Slightly increases strength, stamina, and health recovery rate, slightly enhances agility, while reducing the damage taken by 10%. However, when the skill is activated, there’s a 50% chance of entering a “Chaotic” state]
(Note: Abnormal State “Chaos” – Unable to control, randomly selects attack targets between enemies and allies)
[Miasma Authority: None (Unlocks upon reaching “Disaster Rank”)]
[Base Specialty: Trash Master III – “A small probability” to turn gathered trash into treasure]
With a thought, all the data of the Eclipse “Eileen” was vividly presented in front of him.
Renji couldn’t help but sigh quietly.
A plain status, straightforward skills…
There weren’t any unexpected surprises.
If you had to nitpick, was this “Luck E” for real? Although luck value was considered a lackluster attribute in the game, it was the first time Renji had seen a character with the lowest E-level in this attribute.
So, it completely dashed his faint hope of receiving a super-powerful teammate or something similar after transmigration.
If placed in the game, as a qualified power player, Renji would never waste his precious “contract” opportunities on Eileen at the beginning. After all, as a “Common” Rank character, her three-star rating determined the limits, and the return on investment was high only in the early stages. She was the kind used as a transition tool during the initial clearing phase, and once used up, she was discarded.
But of course.
In the game, he could restart countless times, through repeatedly loading the game to brush out a high-star, highly potential Eclipse.
However, the current “second playthrough” clearly didn’t have that condition.
So, Renji didn’t regret his decision.
Besides, low stars and low ranks also had their advantages. At the very least, they required fewer resources and were easier to sustain.
with just a Small Tainted Crystal, Eileen effortlessly reached level 10 and easily soloed a Kobold.
The scavenger girl was still standing there, her face full of disbelief, staring at her own hands as if she hadn’t come to her senses from kicking the Kobold away with a single kick.
But Renji, inside the stone coffin, had already started moving. Following his memory, he came to a certain shelf in the secret chamber.
“It’s a good thing I left quite a few of these resource points back then,” Renji muttered to himself.
Then, he pulled out a sword from the shelf.
Well, it’s not quite accurate to describe it as a sword. It might have been a sword once, but it was now covered in rust.
[Emperor’s Sword]
[Type: One-Handed Sword]
[Quality: D-]
[Equipment Effect: Increases the user’s attack power by 10%]
[Special Effect: Weathered – Breaks after ten strikes]
[Legend has it that this was a sword used by the young Emperor Ashen, but it has decayed over the course of time. Nevertheless, it remains a precious historical artifact. ]
‘Well, well…’
‘Isn’t this the lowest-grade equipment from my early days?’
After mocking the introduction text of the system, Renji forcefully threw the rusty sword toward the scavenger girl’s location.
“Eileen, catch it!”
Being called by her name snapped Eileen back to reality, and she clumsily caught the sword.
‘Wait a minute!’
‘How did he know her name?’
Holding the hilt of the sword, Eileen finally came back to her senses. But by then, Renji’s next order had already been issued.
The sword he threw was not for nothing.
“Hurry up, don’t let them escape, catch up and kill them!”
Monsters like goblins, kobolds, and fishmen, these mutated humanoid creatures, were bullies. The remaining kobolds inside the chamber, upon witnessing Eileen’s sudden burst of power, had replaced their greed with fear.
They had no intention of seeking revenge for their comrades. Instead, one by one, they frantically grabbed items from within the secret chamber and, using shovels, started to climb and escape through the hole above them.
Of course, Renji wouldn’t let them go.
He had already counted; excluding the Kobolds killed by the scar-faced man’s wild shooting earlier, there were exactly ten left. If Eileen killed them all, he could just level up to level 2.
However, the scavenger girl in front of him didn’t move.
Instead, with her somewhat dirty face but still watery eyes, she stared at him as if wanting to ask, “Why should I listen to you?”
“Sigh.”
‘I knew scavengers couldn’t be relied upon.’
After shaking his head inwardly, Renji changed his approach.
“If you don’t chase after them now, you won’t be able to get back those stolen treasures,” he emphasized the word “treasures.”
Following the words of the black-haired young man, Eileen’s gaze was immediately drawn to the secret room items held by the escaping kobolds. Among them were some Tainted artifacts.
Reluctant just moments ago, Eileen now rushed forward with her sword in hand.
She was in a hurry.
These were priceless Emperor’s “Legacy.” Each item taken away could probably be sold for tens of thousands of Coins. How could she let these ugly monsters benefit so easily!
Never underestimate a scavenger’s pursuit of wealth and treasures.
Eileen’s speed was at least twice as fast as before. Although she wasn’t very skilled in using a one-handed sword, but with her overwhelming strength, all she had to do was thrust her blade into the monsters’ vitals.
In less than five minutes…
With the last of the Kobolds knocked down by a kick from behind, Eileen, seeing its pleading posture, showed no mercy. She lifted her sword high and thrust it deep into its heart. .𝘤𝘰𝑚
Splat!*
When Eileen pulled the sword out from the monster’s chest, she looked around and saw nothing but Kobold corpses strewn all over the place.
[Ding!!! your Eclipse “Eileen” successfully killed [Greedy Kobold Miner], you have gained 10 experience points.]
[Congratulations! You have leveled up!]
[Current Level: Lv2]
[Experience required for next level: 0/200]
Accompanied by the system notification, Renji felt a warm stream emerging from his body, circulating around and gradually subsiding.
He carefully sensed the changes in his body.
The result was…
Almost undetectable.
‘Perhaps my strength had only increased by less than ten percent’
‘Just as I thought, it’s just like the game’s setting’
Renji rubbed his temples with a slight headache.
Similar to most cultivation games, although players are the protagonists, they are essentially mascots in the beginning. Fortunately, in “Fallen Chronicles” the protagonist had a slight advantage in that they had no level cap and didn’t require breakthroughs during advancement.
In the first playthrough, his top-tier Eclipses had already maxed out at level 90 by the end of the game, while the protagonist he controlled was well over level 150.
Adding the previous copy skill, so in the late game, the protagonist would “stand guard” for all the remaining Eclipses. It was likely that even if all five of them were combined, they couldn’t beat the protagonist he controlled.
‘The future look promising…’
After comforting himself, Renji quickly refocused his attention on the reality.
Because he saw that he had another little problem to deal with.
It appeared that Eileen, who had been driven to berserker, possibly due to killing the Kobolds or because of the newfound power, had done something rather peculiar.
As Eileen rose from the last kobold’s corpse…
She pointed her bloody sword At him.
