Super Template System In Marvel and Beyond-Chapter 199: Behen Archipelago V

"Sticks, let me tell you something," Dave said as he unsheathed the same Unique-grade sword he had used to kill his first monster—this very troll in Satisfy.

"There is nothing that stood against me for more than 10 minutes. Yet, back when I was just starting out, I fought desperately and took exactly 21 minutes to kill it. I wonder how long it'll take me this time."

Sticks checked Dave's level and was stunned to see that he was only level 1.

"He started his journey by slaying a newborn killer?" Sticks thought. Trolls were known for their insane regeneration, allowing them to recover from even fatal wounds. Yet, Dave started by slaying such creatures.

17 minutes—that was Dave's new time.

Sticks watched as the troll lay there, covered in deep slashing marks all over its body.

"Tch, it still took more than 10 minutes," Dave muttered.

****

At S.A.

[Quest SH100B7 has been triggered.]

"...!"

Chairman Lim Cheolho's eyes widened as he heard Morpheus' words.

"By whom?"

In fact, it was a nonsensical question. Quest SH100B7. It was a quest activated when a legendary class user reached the 25th island of the Contaminated Heben Archipelago. At this point, there were only two legendary classes.

Grid and Dave. But Grid's level was still too low.

[Dave]

"Wait! How?"

[Sage Sticks find him worthy]

LimCheolho : "...."

[His magic also was similar to Braham making Sage believe he is related to him]

Lim Cheolho nodded and ordered chicken as he watched Dave.

"It might be possible if Dave maintains his current growth and challenges it again in half a year. At present, isn't the quest clearance rate close to zero?"

Morpheus replied with an answer that surprised Lim Cheolho.

[Dave has a 88.19% of clearing the SH100B7 quest. The difficulty of his trials is very low.]

"..."

Lim Cheolho ordered one more chicken. He was planning to monitor Dave in real time.

[You have succeeded in the mission.]

[500 challenger points have been acquired.]

[Your level has returned to normal.]

Dave nodded and stepped onto the next island.

[You have entered the 31st island.]

The 31st island was uncharted territory for Sticks.

"There is nothing!" Sticks exclaimed. The island was completely blank.

As Dave read his notifications, he understood why.

[A mission will be created.]

[31st Island]

The place and situation of the quest you failed the most number of times has been 100% recreated.

Overcome the trial and surpass your past self!

Mission Clear Conditions: Succeed in the quest that you failed in the past.

First Clear Reward: 600 Challenger Points.

First Clear Reward 2: The rewards you obtain from completing the quest.

[The mission will start in 30 minutes.]

[Mission is automatically cleared.]

[You have cleared the 31st island.]

[You have acquired 600 challenger points for the mission success.]

[Bonus Reward: Title 'Never Tasted Failure']

[Never Tasted Failure]

All stats +100

Luck +200

"I never tasted failure," Dave said, and Sage Sticks looked at him with admiration.

All the islands in the 30s reproduced the challenger's past trials—situations where the challenger had died the most or failed a quest repeatedly. Rankers, armed with exceptional talents and skills, often struggled through these islands. The trials were brutal for those who hadn't played on easy mode.

But Dave was different. The trials were automatically cleared because he had never failed.

[You have entered the 40th island.]

[This is a save point. Do you want to save your position?]

[You have been registered. When you enter the Behen Archipelago later on, you will start from the 40th island.]

"Amazing. It's truly wonderful."

Sticks kept praising Dave. Who else could say they had never tasted failure? But now, Sage Sticks was witnessing such a man.

'Now I am sure. He will definitely cleanse the Hall of Fame.' Sage Sticks thought.

—You're better than I thought.

Madara also praised Dave.

"Less than you," Dave replied.

—No... even I tasted failure before I became the Undefeated King.

Madara laughed as he spoke.

[It's true, no matter the person, they have tasted failure at least once. But it's like you were born perfect,] Mumud said, though he grew worried about the day when Dave might face failure for the first time.

People who had never fallen before often broke the hardest when they finally did.

[You have entered the 41st island.]

[A mission will be created.]

[41st Island]

Fight with yourself and win.

First Clear Compensation: You can raise the level of one skill.

'This feels like a bonus stage.'

The mission of the 41st island was to overcome his 'past self' and transcend his 'present self.' It felt like a test. What was at the end of the Behen Archipelago, which forced the challenger to constantly grow?.

The clone of Dave looked at him as he raised the sword in his hand and then slashed at him.

"100,000 Army Massacre Sword!"

It was one of the deadliest skills he possessed.

Dave used Blink in response, instantly teleporting away as he prepared to fight himself.

["This clone can use all of your skills perfectly, so you should be able to gauge your own skills and learn how to use them better,"] Mumud advised.

Dave slashed at the clone, but his opponent raised his sword and bent the trajectory while simultaneously aiming at him with Frost Spears.

Dave now had two classes—one was Madara's Successor, a physical-type class specializing in Undefeated King Swordsmanship and unparalleled combat skills. The other was Mumud's Successor, a magic-type class that allowed him to manifest spells as he imagined.

This meant that, for the first time, Dave had finally found a powerful opponent worthy of facing him—himself.

Dave and his clone clashed, their swords colliding with a deafening boom that sent shockwaves rippling through the battlefield. This was not just an ordinary duel—this was Dave vs. Dave, a test of his own limits, a battle against an opponent who wielded his abilities just as flawlessly as he did.

The clone launched forward, its Crushing Sword technique causing the ground beneath them to crack and shatter. Dave barely managed to blink away in time, appearing behind the clone, slashing downward with his Stealth Sword—a technique designed for swift, unpredictable strikes.

Yet, the clone reacted instantly, its blade twisting mid-air, perfectly countering the attack.

"Of course... He fights exactly like me. I can't just rely on my usual skills."

Dave swiftly switched tactics, casting Frost Spears to restrict the clone's movements, then followed up with Lightning God's Descent, a spell that called down a storm of lightning strikes. The clone, unfazed, activated 100,000 Army Massacre Sword, slashing through the magic like it was nothing.

"Damn, is that how broken my own skills are?" Dave thought with a smirk.
