The next sinkhole we found was in a tropical rainforest area with a huge waterfall.

I stood at the edge of the waterfall. The cold water flowed down to about knee-high and fell down the waterfall.

“Wow… … … . If I fall, I’ll just go?”

I don’t have a fear of heights, but when I saw the waterfall pouring down, creating white foam, from such a high place that it was hard to even guess its height, my legs started shaking.

The mist rising from under the waterfall and the humid air typical of the tropical rainforest seep deep into my lungs. The huge rainbow that formed below was beautiful, but I was more preoccupied with imagining what would happen if I fell down here.

“Gold! What happens if you fall from here!?”

When I asked in a slightly raised voice, Gold spoke directly into my head.

[ There is a large lake at the bottom. However, the space is distorted, so if you fall into the water, you will be transported to a natural pool somewhere on the upper side of the lake. ]

“Oh, it’s not as dangerous as I thought!?”

[ No. It’s extremely dangerous. Since the average height is over 1 kilometer, if a normal human were to fall, they would definitely die. Based on humans… . You need to have an endurance stat of over 300 to expect survival. In order to safely enjoy diving, you’ll need an endurance stat of over 900. ]

“… … . ”

First, I slowly took a step back.

My endurance stat is 110.

Assuming that the average unawakened human has an endurance of around 3 to 7, this would be almost 20 times stronger, but it didn’t seem like it would be enough.

[ Don’t worry. If you fall, I’ll catch you. ]

He raised his thumb towards the gold and climbed all the way up to the top of the waterfall.

The outside of the waterfall was a dense tropical rainforest. Each and every one of the unnamed trees was huge. The height of the trees varied, but most of them seemed to be well over 100 meters tall.

It wasn’t just trees. Colorful tropical flowers were blooming here and there, adding a touch of red, and mint-colored butterflies, which you wouldn’t see on Earth, were fluttering around the flowers.

“What pair of wings looks better than my feet… … … . ”

It looks a bit beautiful from a distance, but it’s also a monster. Its level is around 100, so it’s not that high, but it has a deadly paralyzing poison, so you have to be careful.

“Sili, are you sure you’re okay with a place like this?”

I asked her while standing close to her, and she nodded with a slightly excited look on her face.

“I needed a place to properly train my poison skills! I learned poison skills from Lime, but I didn’t have a strong poison, so my training wasn’t going well!”

“Okay. If you like it, then that’s fine… ”

This sinkhole was also a place where the opinions of the would-be owner were strongly reflected. I heard that there are a lot of poisonous animals in this rainforest. Snakes, frogs, and spiders were the norm, and there were also countless insects such as fire ants, butterflies, and moths.

“I want to make the waterfall a tourist attraction, but… I don’t know if it’s okay because there are a lot of poisonous ones… ”

[ I think it would be okay to push the monsters far away after Sili becomes the boss of the sinkhole. The inside of this sinkhole has a landmass the size of the moon, and except for this huge waterfall, it is all formed by a tropical rainforest area, so it would be okay to clearly divide the tourist attraction and the monsters’ habitat and give a warning. ]

I thought that if we divided it like that, there would definitely be people who would cross the line and cause accidents, but I decided not to think about it that much for now.

＇If you handle the strong poison properly, it can be used as a weapon… . If you build a facility to study the poison here and sell the poison that comes out of it to the Hunter Association… . You can make money and it will also help you conquer other sinkholes. The plan sounds very plausible.＇

The mere presence of this massive waterfall will draw crowds.

And if you make diving possible with the help of artifacts, or create something like a bungee jumping facility, people will think of it as an extreme sport and flock there in droves.

“Okay! Then let’s level up first and quickly take over this place!”

.

.

.

“Wow… … I barely got 80.”

The hunting method was similar to before.

When Gold stops a monster, I can beat it. However, the levels of the monsters living in this place are generally low, so the level doesn’t increase much.

I hunted without resting, but I barely managed to reach level 80 after it got dark.

[ Tiring! ] [ You have reached level 80! ]

[ Durability stat increases by 2x! (110 – 220) ]

[ Speed stat doubles! (115 – 230) ]

[ Skill [Poison Resistance (A) ] acquired! ]

[ Skill [Sickle (A) ] acquired! ]

[ Skill [Time Stop (S)] usage limit increases by 1! ]

[ Skill 【 Time Stop (S) 】’s stop time increases by 1 minute! ]

[ You have acquired the Artifact [ Scythe of Time (S) ]! ]

I tilted my head as I carefully looked at the rewards I received after reaching level 80.

“Sickle?”

I think you can tell the toxicity just by looking at the skill name.

Since you’ve come to a place full of poison, it’s probably a consideration to raise your tolerance so you don’t die easily.

The usage limit and stop time of the Sgan Stop skill were the same as before, but the stats were doubled.

However, the skill called Sickle and the artifact called Time Sickle were not intuitively clear just by looking at their names.

ㅡㅡㅡ【Sickle (A)】ㅡㅡㅡ

Learn how to use a scythe as a weapon.

You will be able to swing the scythe as freely as if it were your own body.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

For a moment I thought it meant daytime drinking, but it wasn’t daytime drinking, it was daytime drinking.

If you use a sword, it’s swordsmanship. If you use a Tao, it’s Taoism. If you use a sickle, it’s sickle art. So it seemed to be sickle art.

ㅡㅡㅡ [ Sickle of Time (S) ] ㅡㅡㅡ

A scythe said to have been used by the god of time.

It is essential for using various attack skills related to time.

You can summon the Scythe of Time with the keyword ‘Summon’.

【Time Stop (S)】Linked with skill!

When the Scythe of Time is summoned, it is considered as using the skill [Time Stop (S)] once.

The summoning time of the Scythe of Time is the same as the ‘Stop Time’ of the [Time Stop (S)] skill. (Currently 21 minutes)

【Adjust the size of the bed (A)】Linked to the skill!

The size of the sickle varies depending on the degree of erection.

There are currently no skills that can be used with the Scythe of Time. For now, it’s just a cool, sturdy scythe.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

“Crazy. How long has it been since you gave me a weapon… … I only got my exclusive weapon when I reached level 80.”

The description said, ‘For now, it’s just a cool, sturdy scythe,’ but that didn’t matter.

S-rank artifacts are almost non-existent in the world, and if you keep leveling up like this, you will definitely gain one or two skills that can be used with this scythe.

The setting that the size of the scythe changes depending on the level of erection was really absurd, but in some ways, I thought it was truly my own weapon.

“Have you developed a new skill?”

Gold, who was looking for a place to rest after finishing the hunt, asked with a curious face.

“I’ve gained skills and eye effects… I’ll show you first. This will be faster than explaining it with words. Summon!”

First, I tried summoning the scythe in a furious state.

Then, a small sickle appeared before my eyes. Bright light gathered in front of my eyes, and then a sickle, such as one used for farming, suddenly appeared.

“… … . ”

“… … . ”

There was silence for a moment.

Gold and Sili both watch me quietly, not knowing how to react.

“What a beautiful weapon.”

“Ah, the red color and black handle are cool. I feel some kind of unknown power.”

And then they each started saying something plausible to comfort me.

First, I opened the status window and checked, and the number of times I could use the Time Stop skill had decreased by 1. Looking at the number [20:45] in the air, which kept decreasing, it seemed that, like Time Stop, the summoning would be released when the time reached 0.

“Everyone, don’t be disappointed. It’s not over yet.”

I slowly put the sickle into the hole. Then, the small and cute sickle that looked like it was meant to cut weeds began to grow in size and change its appearance.

“Ohhh… … … !”

When it passed the repulsion period, the scythe had grown to a size that could be called a ‘death side’. The overall length was about 2 meters. The blade part had also become long, like a sharpened animal’s claw, and it seemed to be about 1 meter long.

It wasn’t just that it had gotten bigger. The entire area, including the handle and the part where the blade stood, was engraved with geometric patterns, and these also gave off a soft light, making it incredibly beautiful.

‘What? So if I increase the size of the hole to the maximum, it will be twice as big as this?’

For the first time in a long time, my heart started pounding.

A hunter who wields something like the scythe of the god of death while controlling the power of time.

I like it very much.

A guy swinging a giant scythe freely from the front is much cooler than a guy waving his fingers at you from behind!
