Chapter 53: Chapter53-[Time Stream]

Quadruple damage!

"Holy crap, I’ve struck gold!"

Daniel’s eyes gleamed with delight.

Everything was now ready. All he had to do was wait for Alice to deliver the exclusive elven skill book, and everything would be perfectly in place.

After all, it would be a complete waste of time for Daniel to start training with a bow from scratch—it simply wasn’t worth the effort.

After leaving the Multiracial Commerce League, Daniel suddenly remembered something he’d seen on the [Gnome Communicator]: the Human Emperor had mentioned his intention to confer a noble title upon him.

It wasn’t the kind of thing one should rush into. Ideally, he’d meet with the Human Emperor in person to get a clearer understanding of his motives.

After all, when a pie falls from the sky, Daniel had learned to be wary—who knew if it came with strings attached?

Not that he feared danger.

Now that he possessed the skill [Time Stream], if anything felt off, Daniel could simply reverse the situation and travel back to a safer point.

That said...

He hadn’t actually used the skill yet.

And that made him uneasy.

If he ever found himself in a life-or-death scenario and wasn’t familiar with how [Time Stream] worked, the consequences could be fatal.

Better safe than sorry.

With that in mind, Daniel activated the skill.

Almost immediately, he felt his body grow lighter, as if he were being pulled into a flowing, silver river.

He floated in midair, gazing down at the turbulent current below.

Then he noticed something unusual—among the waves of the river, he could see flashes of memory.

One wave showed the moment when Manager Harry handed him the white card.

The next wave took him back to when he first stepped foot inside the Multiracial Commerce League.

Without hesitation, Daniel dove in.

Yet as he entered the Time River, he didn’t feel any sensation of water. Instead, a soft, cloud-like warmth enveloped his entire body, comforting and gentle.

When his vision finally cleared again, Daniel found himself standing once more at the gates of the Multiracial Commerce League.

He quickly opened his inventory.

As expected, the [Star Chasing Bow] was gone.

This confirmed it—he had indeed traveled into the past.

Realizing this, Daniel began to repeat his previous actions step by step.

Once he received the white card from Manager Harry again, the [Star Chasing Bow] reappeared in his bag.

From that, Daniel gained a solid understanding of how [Time Stream] worked.

If he was right, the river he saw earlier was none other than the mythical Time River.

However, despite the impressive power of the skill, Daniel couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

There was one unfortunate catch—[Time Stream] could only take him back into the past. It could not project him forward into the future.

What’s more, once he traveled back, there was no way to return to his original timeline.

Just like now—when he first used [Time Stream], it created an entirely new timeline, one-way only.

In simpler terms, every time Daniel reversed time, it marked a fresh beginning—an irreversible one.

But what a beginning it was.

To put it into perspective, Daniel now possessed what was effectively unlimited lives.

Of course, immortality came with a price: he could never truly move forward, only relive the present.

He shook his head, brushing aside the spiraling thoughts.

Now that he had completed the Star Upgrade Quest, his next goal was clear—head for the underground labyrinth.

After all, according to the contract he’d signed with the Multiracial Commerce League, he would receive one million gold coins for every day he remained at the top of the leaderboard.

Sure, to someone like Daniel, a million gold coins was about as meaningful as a hundred bucks—hardly worth noticing.

Still, a contract was a contract, and Daniel believed in honoring his word.

Besides, there was another reason to keep going: he was hoping to use this opportunity to push his level up to 60.

That would allow him to attempt the second Star Upgrade Quest.

If just completing the first quest had resulted in such an enormous boost in power—not to mention unlocking a new Specialization and passive effects—then the benefits of reaching two stars could only be imagined.

The Challenger’s Labyrinth was known for its insane difficulty, but it also offered incredible rewards.

The most exciting part? It occasionally dropped equipment with active skills.

Originally, Daniel had completely dismissed these items as worthless.

But now, with his newly discovered Talent Specialization that could enhance equipment-based active abilities, he viewed the Challenger’s Labyrinth in a completely different light.

Daniel’s strength now far exceeded what it had been when he defeated a World Rank boss.

He couldn’t help but wonder—just how powerful had he become?

Two minutes later, his figure appeared before the entrance to the Challenger’s Labyrinth.

Even with his current speed, the vastness of the world still surprised him.

After crossing two teleportation arrays, he arrived at a small town to the west of Castle Mington.

The town was modest in size, especially when compared to the bustling Castle Mington. It was sparsely populated and felt eerily quiet.

But Daniel knew the silence wouldn’t last long.

Soon, this sleepy little town would become the center of attention—because this year’s Challenger’s Labyrinth had spawned right here.

Of course, compared to places like the Whitewild Expanse, where multiple underground labyrinths were clustered together, this area was practically barren.

Even the monsters here were few and far between.

As Daniel moved forward, casually casting spells, his HP ticked upward, eventually reaching 2.38 million.

That’s right—after all that effort, he had only gained 30,000 HP.

Compared to the efficiency of grinding in Whitewild Expanse, this place was practically a joke.

What made the Challenger’s Labyrinth so unique was that it only appeared once a year, right after Awakening Day.

Each time, it spawned in a brand-new location—completely fresh, with no guides or maps.

It was an unpredictable trial of skill, luck, or raw power.

As soon as the new Challenger’s Labyrinth emerged, the previous one would vanish, taking all its data and strategies with it.

Even parties entering together would be randomly scattered throughout the underground complex.

Which meant—if you weren’t supremely confident in your abilities, you had no business setting foot inside.

Were it not for the intelligence provided by the Multiracial Commerce League, Daniel wouldn’t have even been able to locate this year’s labyrinth.

After all, who would have expected such a legendary dungeon to appear in a humble little town?

At this very moment, at the cliff on the west side of town, a glowing portal shimmered into view.
