"The reason for that was because, at that point in one's power level, simply using the dungeons would not guarantee a level increase even if one met the quota needed to increase their level, and not to mention, one would take a very long time to obtain the necessary experience to increase their level. After all, those who managed to reach level 99 are no longer considered just normal mortals in a sense."
"So in the end, the only solution available to reach the unreachable level 100 was to become a god's apostle and obtain their direct blessing and divine authority. Only through comprehending those authorities obtained could one have the hope of reaching level 100 in this world, and also have the chance to join the gods in the gods' realm as their loyal servant or protégé."
"Because of how hard it is to receive the attention of the gods, there are many people who had reached level 99, but there are barely any among them who had managed to attract the gods' attention to receive their blessings in order to reach level 100."
"Eventually, the concept of level 100 itself became a legend in this world and one could only dream of reaching this level. Ultimately, level 100 was dubbed the legendary level and the apostles themselves do not show their faces in public anymore even if they descend to the world from the gods' realm."
At this time, Zophia paused for a moment before continuing in admiration: "Furthermore, those that received the gods' blessings not only have their original insane power level but also obtain control of a type of element or power in this world. For example, the ability to create an undying flame that could burn anything into nothingness or create frost that could freeze anything including fire."
"Sadly, apostles don't usually stay in the mortal plane for too long before they ascend, so there's not much known about them. That was because they would sooner or later finish comprehending their authorities and by then, some would stay for a while and as for others, they would ascend right away."
"So do you understand now how amazing an apostle who had received a god's blessing is?" Zophia sighed and then looked at Randy.
'How interesting… So the highest level in this world truly is level 99? And she thought I was at this level with just my intelligence alone. But I wonder how it relates to my world's system. However, it seems that in order to reach level 100 you have to get a god's attention? So this world has things like gods?
'Then do gods also exist in my world? No, I highly doubt it, there has not been any mention of gods existing in my world even though there are so many supernatural things happening ever since the dimensional rifts and gates appeared.'
'I suppose the owner of that mysterious voice that announced the events to us before it happened could be considered a god. But why did they not help the humans close the dimensional rifts and only create dimensional gates to trap some monsters instead?'
'Are the gods not invincible or maybe they're not actually gods but just some unfathomably powerful existences? In any case, I wonder if they knew about my existence in this world. If so, then why are they not intervening, or it does not matter to them?'
"I think I understand it a little bit. But how does that have to do with my intelligence and perception attributes? It's not like I am as powerful as them right now with just these attributes, right? To me, I look very ordinary and barely have enough strength to fight other people, so I am very certain that I am not one of these apostles that you just described. After all, based on how you described them, they sounded like insanely powerful people. And I don't think I have such strength to compare to them. I only wish for such strength someday." Randy wholeheartedly responded to her.
Zophia readily agreed with his statement: "That's right, the apostles are powerful to the point where normal people could not be their match. Some even say that once you become an apostle candidate, you would essentially become a demi-god existence."
Zophia suddenly realized that she was not focusing on the main point, and she shook her head before continuing: "No, that's not what's important. Your intelligence attribute is more or less on the level of what an apostle would have. Although this is based on an estimate, it is still accurate to a certain extent. After all, there are no humans with such high intelligence and perception attributes from the start."
"Not to mention, your magic limit is already too high even though you're not even a magician. Now that I look closely enough, your strength attribute is already above the average strength of 20 in this world. But that is nothing considering that there are some people who started with higher strength attributes. However, in your case, all your physical attributes are all above average which makes you have tremendously high potential in whatever occupation you decide on later."
"Personally, I think you should pick magician as your occupation, and make use of your high intelligence, perception, and mana." Zophia suggested.
"Why do you say so? Isn't better to become a swordsman with my physical attributes?"
"Well, you could but it's a waste. You have high intelligence, meaning you can use high-ranking spells without effort since one's mental image is necessary for forming spells and right now, you have a huge advantage in that aspect due to your high intelligence."
"In other words, your comprehension toward basic magic and intermediate magic will be on the monstrous level. And if you try hard enough you could even use high-ranking spells because of your high intelligence coupled with your high perception which increases your concentration and visual prowess."
Zophia enthusiastically explained to Randy while giving him pointers regarding his high attributes and how he could make better use of them.
"I see, I understand. I'll keep that in mind when I made my decision. For now, I would like to think about this matter later." Randy nodded in understanding, and then he doubtfully asked: "But how do I pick my occupation by the way? Do I have to do it right here?"
"Hahaha, of course not. You will have to do that while inside the dungeon. You really do not know anything, huh?" Zophia laughed and replied, seemingly amused by his ignorant question.
"Inside the dungeon?" Randy asked further.
"That's right." Zophia replied.
"That reminds me, give me a moment to process your results and registration. We've been talking for a while now that I almost forgot about the reason why you came here in the first place. It's good that no one is in line right now. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to talk for such a long time. Anyway, I will be right back with your registration card." Zophia then said before walking away to the back of her station.
After a while, she came back with something in her hand. She extended her hand to give a card to Randy before speaking: "Here's your temporary Dungeon hunter card. You don't have to pay for it this time. However, make sure you do not lose it even if it is only a temporary one. Otherwise, you have to pay for it during the second issuance regardless of whether it is temporary or an official card."
Randy nodded as he took the card from her hand, and then he said: "Thank you."
Zophia smiled and then said: "Come back tomorrow in the morning and receive your rank mission.. Ah, that mission would also be your chance to pick your occupation before you would receive your official dungeon hunter identification card."
