“It’s not coming out as easily as I thought.”
Having defeated the Kraken and trying to get a specific item from the rare box I obtained, I experienced yet another failure and started to guess how many types of items there were.
In the rare box, not just equipment, but consumables, recipes, and materials all pop out, but if you only consider those categories, it seemed like there would only be 20 to 30.
‘Among them, I’m trying to get the Alchemy Crafting Kit, but why isn’t it coming out?’
Alchemy Crafting Kit.
Simply put, it was the tool Sina used when using alchemy. Just as my weapon crafting required a hammer and anvil, Sina’s alchemy required the Alchemy Crafting Kit.
And the reason I was trying to get the Alchemy Crafting Kit was because yesterday, at my mansion, I saw Sina crafting potions with alchemy.
In addition, after asking Sina for permission, I was able to see the Alchemy Crafting Kit as well, and after confirming that it was an ordinary Magic-grade item, I tried to get that crafting kit from the rare box.
Because I didn’t know what would come out if I gave her the whole rare box.
“It needs to come out quickly so I can do other things.”

[Real-Time Auction House will be added.]
[Details: An auction house building will be added to each country’s capital. The auction will be held every Saturday at 8 PM. There are no restrictions on the items to be registered, but only the top 50 items will be introduced. Even if hundreds or thousands of items are registered, the system will select and introduce only the top 50 items.
The selection criteria will be grade and preference. For example, if there is a sword and a hammer that are weapons of the same grade and performance, you can think of it as the sword that people prefer being registered first.
And in the Real-Time Auction House, it is possible to register the same type of items simultaneously. For example, it is possible to register all set items, and it is also possible to register skill books with the same attribute even if they have different ranks.
Also, players who successfully register for the top 50 items will be moved to a specific room where they can watch the auction progress.
Lastly, the commission for the Real-Time Auction House is 5%, so please participate actively.]
“Oh? It’s been patched?”
Accessing the Twilight homepage, I was able to check the content that was patched today. It was the Real-Time Auction House, and after reading it carefully, it seemed like only the top 50 items among the registered items would be auctioned.
“But the commission is amazing.”
The Real-Time Auction House commission was 5%. Considering that the Cash Transaction System takes a 20% commission, it was absurdly low. For example, if you sell an item worth 1 million won, you can receive up to 950,000 won instead of 800,000 won.
‘What if there are no rare items in the Cash Transaction Window because of this?’
It was human psychology to want to sell the same item at a slightly higher price. Considering that, I felt like many people would use the Real-Time Auction House for some reason, but there was no way to confirm it yet because it wasn’t time yet.
‘If it’s Saturday……’
Today is Monday, so 5 days left? But even if I knew the date, there weren’t many items I could put up for auction in this Real-Time Auction House.
“Even if I make weapons, Magic-grade items will come out, so I don’t think they’ll be included in the top 50.”
The only possibilities were the rare sword given by the Harpe Emperor and the +10 Reinforced Steel Shield. I wasn’t sure if those two could be registered, but I didn’t want to sell the rare sword because it had the effect of increasing fame.
“In the end, I have to hand over the +10 Reinforced Steel Shield.”
I’m using a Rare-grade shield anyway. So, it didn’t matter if I sold the steel shield. Moreover, since it was a shield that had been reinforced to +10 without a single failure, I thought I could definitely sell it at a high price.
Anyway, I had been making a lot of money and living comfortably, so it might be a good opportunity.
‘What are the other patches?’
[You can display your ID above your head.]
[Details: We have received reports from some people that there are people who hide their identities and impersonate others, so we have made this patch. If you display your ID, it will be displayed like the name that appears above the monster’s head. Also, if you want, you can even display the title you are wearing, so if you are wearing a special title, show it off to everyone.]
“ID display?”
But were there impersonators in Twilight? Still, displaying the ID was up to the individual, so I didn’t think I needed to worry about it.
For reference, I will never reveal it. I’ve already experienced annoying things because of guild members rushing towards me, so I couldn’t go around openly saying ‘I’m Rudin!’ In the end, it was a useless patch for me.
[An attribute section will be added to the Status Information Window.]
[Details: Many of you have asked us to include your attributes in the Status Information Window. Following that opinion, from now on, the attribute attack power and attribute resistance sections will be included in the Status Information Window. If you want to know what your attributes are, please simply check the Status Information Window.]
[From now on, stamina will be consumed depending on the weather.]
[Details: When active in hot or cold regions, stamina will be consumed depending on the temperature. And if your stamina is depleted while exposed to such temperatures, your health will be consumed, so please be careful.]
[New items will be added to the Cash Shop (Cash Shop).]
“I think that’s about it.”
The last Cash Shop was nothing special. A Remote Bank Access Ticket? So, you can use the bank without going to the bank, and if your item window is full while hunting, it would be the most necessary item.
Yes, except for the fact that the price is 10,000 won per use.
‘Damn expensive.’
It was good that the attributes were included in the Status Information Window, and it didn’t matter that stamina decreased depending on the weather. Anyway, there were no hot or cold regions in the Harpe Empire.
Well, maybe in the Anis Kingdom located in the far north.
‘Anyway, the only thing to see is the Real-Time Auction House.’
I didn’t even care about the rest because they weren’t related to me. I checked the date and time of the Real-Time Auction House again and then started reading the articles written by the players.
[Iot Kingdom finally succeeds in defeating the Kraken.]
[Iot Kingdom succeeds in defeating the Kraken. But the one who caught it is a player from the Harpe Empire.]
[Increase in ship prices. What are the future prospects?]
[Resentment towards the Great Voyage Guild continues to rise.]
[Taking advantage of this opportunity, all guilds, including Absolute Guild and Milky Way Guild, are recruiting guild members.]
“It’s a mess.”
The Great Voyage Guild spent money and gained nothing but resentment. Will it collapse like this? I didn’t care if it collapsed or not, but since my friend was a member of this guild, I was curious about the outcome.
‘If they had offered me 5 million won back then, it wouldn’t have been like this.’
Well, I got three rare boxes instead of that 5 million won, so it didn’t matter anymore. It’s a rare box that would be worth several million won even if I just sold it as is. If I even got equipment with rare abilities from the rare box, the price might go up even more.
On the other hand, if I got potions or materials, the price would drop sharply.
[Rudin of the Emperor Guild. Active in the second subjugation quest as well.]
[The players considered the strongest in Twilight, 1st and 2nd place are Aizen and Rudin.]
[In the near future, all the land of the Harpe Empire will be in the hands of the Emperor Guild……]
“I’m 2nd place?”
To be precise, I was surprised that I had risen to 2nd place.
‘Have I been too rampant so far?’
I didn’t usually care about rankings, but the fact that people thought of me this way bothered me. Wouldn’t this only cause more trouble in the future? Well, I thought it would be forgotten quickly if I stayed quiet for about a week, so I slowly got up from my seat.
‘Let’s log in.’
I had to get that damn Alchemy Crafting Kit too.
Remembering the fact that I had been struggling with the rare box all day yesterday to get this Alchemy Crafting Kit, I tried to log in.
[May you find what you desire on the streets illuminated by Twilight……]
As I logged into Twilight, an empty space with only a bed greeted me. It was my room in the Guild Castle. While Yua, Sina, and Raz used the house, no one used this room, so I was able to work on the rare box all day yesterday without being disturbed by anyone.
‘I hope it’s over by today.’
Wouldn’t I be here until I’ve opened all three rare boxes? With that thought in mind, I was about to take out the rare box, but a message window appeared first.
[Ding!~ Twilight patch has been applied.]
[A new command has been added according to the applied patch.]
[Toggle ID Display.]
“That’s simple.”
By the way, the patch……
I remembered that among the patches today, attributes were added to the Status Information Window, so I opened my Status Information Window.
“Status Information Window.”
[Name: Rudin]
[Title: Shield of Protection]
[Level: 63]
[Fame: 2619]
[Guild: Emperor (Emperor)]
[Health: 23895/23895]
[Magic Power: 8180/8180]
[Stamina: 100.0%]
[Attack Power: 3626] [Magic Attack Power: 583]
[Defense: 5915] [Magic Defense: 4071]
[Stats]
Strength: 1353 (510+843) Stamina: 1189 (393+796)
Intelligence: 195 (72+123) Magic Power: 694 (116+578)
Agility: 643 (191+452) Skill: 225 (195+30)
Fighting Spirit: 80 (50+30) Summoning: 80 (50+30)
Luck: 131 (1+130)
[Attribute Attack Power: All Attributes (1%), Water (4%), Lightning (12%)]
[Attribute Resistance: All Attributes (3%), Water (49%), Lightning (2%)]
[Skills Acquired: 19/20]
“12% Lightning attribute and…… 49% Water resistance.”
It was obviously a result of the Roar of the Thunder Dragon and the Azure Guardian Set. Also, the Roar of the Thunder Dragon originally had a 12% Lightning attribute, and since it was displayed the same way in the status window, it seemed like all attributes were displayed excluding that value.
Anyway, after checking my attribute values, I closed the Status Information Window and took out the rare box that I had been looking at all day yesterday from the item window and used Intuition.
‘Come to think of it, Intuition is weird too.’
After I was hospitalized from using the second Intuition in the gambling match before, I didn’t sweat much when using the original Intuition. I thought it was strange because I only got slightly sweaty yesterday, but I gave up because I couldn’t figure out why.
No, maybe it’s strange that I even sweat. Why would I sweat just by using Intuition? Still, I decided to ignore it because there was nothing wrong with my body.
“Let’s start.”
[Would you like to open the rare box?]
Alchemy Crafting Kit, come out, Crafting Kit.
“……Huh?”
Suddenly, with a feeling that was the opposite of what I felt all day yesterday, I opened the rare box without thinking.
[Ding!~ You have acquired ‘Truth’s Alchemy Crafting Kit’.]
“……”
It wouldn’t come out even when I begged it to come out, but now it comes out right away.
[Truth’s Alchemy Crafting Kit] (Rare)
Description: An Alchemy Crafting Kit created to pursue the truth. It is equipped with a variety of tools to perform almost any alchemy. Also, because this Alchemy Crafting Kit is made with special materials and magical processing, there is a high possibility that the results will be better than existing alchemy.
Durability: 150/150
*Alchemy Skill Level +2 applied.
*Alchemy Crafting Quality +17% increase.
It was absurd, but I was glad I got it. I looked over the Rare-grade Alchemy Crafting Kit I had just gotten and put it in the item window. I thought Sina would be happy if I gave it to her later.
‘The remaining item is for Yua……’
What should I give her to make her happy?
Should I get a throwing spear? Still, thinking that I was lucky today because I got the Alchemy Crafting Kit right away, I took out the rare box again and was about to try again……
[Friend ‘Raz’ has requested a conversation. Will you accept?]
“……”
I stopped for a moment at the contact from Raz.
‘No, is this actually better?’
I haven’t met Raz recently, so it would be nice to do a quest together. I needed money anyway. Thinking that far, I accepted Raz’s conversation request.
━I saw it online. You caught the Kraken alone?
Raz’s excited voice was heard as soon as I accepted, but on the contrary, I tilted my head. I caught it alone? Who said that? At that time, the Kraken only had five legs left, so Ust barely held on. If it had all ten legs, Ust would have died and I would have been in danger before the sealing time was over.
‘Was it written like that online?’
Since I skimmed through it, I didn’t find anything like that, so I shook my head and brought up the main point.
“Are you free now?”
━Free? Why?
“If you’re okay with it, let’s do a quest together.”
