[You have succeeded in enhancing to the maximum value. Now, ‘Eternal Life Arua’ has become a perfect accessory.]
[Enhancement options are applied doubly.]
“Phew, it’s finally over.”
The first Legendary item I acquired.
I, who enhanced the Eternal Life Arua to +15, let out a tired breath and looked at the ring with mixed feelings.
It was good that I enhanced it to +15, but unfortunately, I couldn’t wear it.
A required stat of Level 200?
Come to think of it, the Sword of Protection also had a required stat of Swordsmanship Level 25 or higher, so I thought that almost all Legendary items would have such strange required stats.
“How much would I get if I sold this?”
[+15 Eternal Life Arua] (Legend)
Durability: 465/465
*Increases Health by 10,000.
*Health recovery speed 500 per second.
*All stats increase by 20 for each enhancement level.
*Usable S-Rank Skill ‘Absolute Recovery (LV30)’ (Cooldown: 720 minutes)
*Enhancement Option (1): Health increased by 20%.
*Enhancement Option (2): Health recovery amount increased by 30%.
*Enhancement Option (3): Health of all party members increased by 10%.
*Enhancement Option (4): 0.2% of damage received is converted to Stamina.
The stats were considerable on their own, but after enhancing it to +15, it became an item that had reached a completely insane level.
Perhaps it was the ultimate item for a tanker?
Moreover, since all stats increased by 300 due to enhancement, it was an item that anyone could use.
‘Well, it would easily fetch 1 billion won, right?’
No, what’s 1 billion won?
It was the first Legendary item and it was enhanced to +15, so it had to be at least 2 to 3 billion won or more.
I didn’t know if I could get that much if I actually put it up on the Real-Time Auction House, but one thing was for sure: it definitely wouldn’t end quietly.
Starting with who got this item, it was clear that a lot of troublesome things would happen.
“But still, I can’t just leave this item like this……”
I’ll have to equip it on the Battle Puppet.
The Battle Puppet ignored item equipment restrictions, so it could also wear this Legendary ring.
“Summon.”
So, after summoning the Battle Puppet, I equipped it with the Legendary ring and checked its stats, and stats that were much higher than I expected appeared in front of me.
[Name: Battle Puppet]
[Level: 41]
[Health: 22950/22950]
[Magic Power: 7370/7370]
[Attack Power: 1558] [Magic Attack Power: 1146]
[Defense: 1196] [Magic Defense: 977]
[Stats]
Strength: 1431 Intelligence: 1146 Agility: 1472
Stamina: 560 Magic: 597 Summoning: 385
Fighting Spirit: 360 Toughness: 360
[Acquired Skills: 0/5]
“Wow……”
Leaving aside the other stats, the Health alone seemed to be higher than that of most players.
In particular, Intelligence, Agility, and Fighting Spirit boasted higher numbers than mine, and considering that this was the result of just one ring, I thought that it was indeed a Legendary item.
I should be the one wearing this item.
Anyway, it seemed like I had to level up to wear this item.
“But first, I need to rest a bit.”
After obtaining this Legendary item, I had been quite tired from leveling up Equipment Crafting and occasionally checking the Cash Transaction Window to buy Rare Enhancement Stones.
‘But when will I reach 200?’
No matter how positively I thought about it, I felt like it would take a few months.
“Sigh, logging out.”
[Once again, on the street illuminated by Twilight……]
I managed to acquire a Legendary item and enhance it to +15, but with the next task of having to level up, I sighed once again and slowly logged out to take a break.
I could have rested within Twilight, but I also wanted to take a shower to relieve my fatigue.
So, after going into the bathroom and taking a shower, I dragged my slightly tired body to the computer and went to the Twilight homepage.
[Continuous attacks of Beluin’s Thoughts!]
[Already more than 10 villages have been occupied!]
[Defeated subjugation team.]
While I was leisurely crafting and purchasing Rare Enhancement Stones, articles were being posted about Beluin’s Thoughts appearing here and there and attacking various places on the continent.
But shouldn’t they be able to stop them?
The Emperor Guild managed to stop them with just their guild members, so I couldn’t believe that more players than that had been defeated.
‘Did they just not fight, saying there was no reason to protect the village?’
If a village is occupied, you can no longer use the facilities there.
Simply put, it means that you can’t even use the Teleportation Device, and since the players couldn’t possibly not know that, it was probably correct to assume that they fought and lost.
Moreover, each country had top guilds that received the Main Scenario, so I thought they would do something.
Except for the Iot and Ronda Kingdoms, of course.
I didn’t think they could do anything, as their power had already been significantly reduced due to the war.
♪~
‘Huh? Who is it?’
While I was reading the articles about the villages being occupied by the Thoughts and thinking about this and that, I suddenly noticed my phone ringing. I checked the caller and soon realized it was my friend, Jaehoon.
‘Oh, come to think of it, what happened to Jaehoon?’
Realizing that he was a member of the Great Voyage Guild in the Iot Kingdom, I continued to think about it even while answering the phone.
He would have probably participated in the war as a low-ranking guild member……
‘And he must have died several times again.’
How strong could he be, working and playing the game at the same time?
Still, since it was guild business, he had to participate in the war, and it wouldn’t be strange at all if he participated and died here and there.
━What are you doing?
“Well, why did you call me all of a sudden?”
━Sigh.
I had sighed consecutively in Twilight, and I could hear him sighing as well.
━I have something to ask. Are you in a guild by any chance?
“Guild? Yes, I’m in one.”
━Then…… If it’s okay, could I join your guild too?
At his words, spoken in a less confident tone than I knew him to have, various thoughts crossed my mind.
I had expected it to some extent, but it seemed to be more serious than I thought.
“Because of the war?”
━Yes, I hate to say this, but the guild master has gone crazy. Even though the executives told him to stop fighting, he didn’t listen and kept preparing for war, saying it was all the Absolute Guild’s fault.
“……”
Listening to him, it seemed like the guild master of the Great Voyage Guild, to which he belonged, was no longer interested in the Main Scenario.
Was he only thinking about destroying the Absolute Guild?
Anyway, since it was my friend’s request, I could easily grant him guild membership, but there was a problem here as well.
‘This guy doesn’t know I’m Rudin.’
If I suddenly let him join the Emperor Guild, he would find it strange.
On the other hand, if I revealed that I was Rudin, it would be very easy to let him join the Emperor Guild, but wouldn’t he think I had been deceiving him all this time?
━Wouldn’t it be possible? I lost some levels because of the war, but I’m still around level 70, and I’m confident that I can fight better than most people.
‘Level 70?’
What was his original level?
And the fact that his level dropped meant that he had died several times, and since skills and equipment also dropped when you died, he was probably penniless now.
‘Should I just reveal that I’m Rudin……’
If I let him join the Emperor Guild, almost everything would be solved.
However, I didn’t know how he would react, but even so, how frustrated must he have been to even contact me?
Moreover, he thought I had joined an insignificant guild, and he was asking if it was okay to join such a guild, so I felt like I couldn’t just leave him like this.
━Sigh, if it weren’t for that b*stard Rudin.
‘……Huh?’
━When you think about it, our guild is practically ruined because of him. Before, he monopolized the Kraken by himself, and this time, he joined the Absolute Guild to help them find the passage…… Because of that, the war broke out and we’re in this situation, so I can’t like him at all.
“……”
━I don’t know why Jooyeon likes that kind of guy.
“……”
The Jooyeon he mentioned here was probably his girlfriend that I saw that time.
But this guy keeps badmouthing me every time he calls?
━Ah, sorry. I didn’t mean to say that. Anyway, I contacted you to ask if you could introduce me to your guild if there’s a spot.
“Well, I’ll look into it and let you know.”
━Okay, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked you this.
“It’s not like I’m asking you to get me a job at a company, it’s just joining a game guild, what’s wrong with that?”
I said that, but I didn’t think he would ever join the Emperor Guild.
After that, Jaehoon ended the call after leaving a message asking for a favor, and I stared at the disconnected phone for a moment before putting it down on the desk with a sigh.
‘What should I do with this guy?’
I felt sorry for him to just ignore him, and if I revealed myself as Rudin and let him join the Emperor Guild, he would probably dislike it.
“Sigh, I just wanted to rest.”
That was difficult because of one of my few friends.
* * *
“Why are you worrying about that? Just tell him.”
When I logged into Twilight after getting enough rest, Yua and Sina, who had returned from the Quest Guild, greeted me.
And they probably felt something was strange after seeing my expression, so they persistently asked me about it, and unable to withstand their persistence, I ended up telling them about my friend, leading to the current situation.
“You can’t even tell him that much, even though he’s your friend?”
“It’s not just about telling him, I think he’ll feel betrayed.”
“He might feel that way at first, but if you let him join the Emperor Guild, wouldn’t he be happy?”
Indeed, he might be happy if I let him join the Emperor Guild, which had become the best guild in Twilight, surpassing even the Harpe Empire.
Moreover, the Emperor Guild had even solved the Main Scenario and received a territory, so they would develop to a point where other guilds could never catch up.
If I only considered that, there was nothing to think about, but I was bothered by the fact that he badmouthed Rudin every time he called.
‘Actually, wasn’t that his last chance?’
Thinking about it that way, I didn’t feel the need to let him join.
Was the Great Voyage Guild the only guild in the Iot Kingdom?
There would be many other guilds if I looked for them, and he could choose one of them and join.
“But Rudin-nim, aren’t you crafting today?”
“Yes, I was going to rest a bit…… What’s up?”
“Actually, I got a recipe. I wanted to ask you to craft it.”
I didn’t know what kind of recipe it was, but since it was Yua’s request, I could easily grant it.
“Let me see the recipe first.”
“Yes.”
At my words, Yua took out a recipe and handed it to me, and I examined the contents written on it.
[Recipe: Indomitable Spear]
Description: A recipe that allows you to craft the Indomitable Spear. Depending on the grade of the materials, you can craft a two-handed spear up to Unique grade.
*Required Materials: (Refined Ore x 10), (Leather x 1), (Attribute Stone x 1), (Soul Stone x 1)
*Abilities gained upon completion:
━Penetration Rate.
━Penetration Damage.
━Physical & Magic Defense.
━E~A Rank Indomitable Skill.
‘The materials aren’t that difficult.’
If I acquired about 10 Refined Ores of Rare grade here, I thought the remaining materials could be Magic grade and it would still be completed as Rare grade.
However, it was easier said than done to get 10 Rare materials, which would be 20 million won if converted to cash.
In the end, it meant that I had no choice but to craft it with Magic grade materials, but even so, my current crafting level was 27, so even if it was completed as Magic grade, a considerable weapon would be created, so I didn’t worry too much.
“Should I craft it for you now?”
“If you don’t mind, please craft it with these materials.”
Yua handed me the materials related to crafting, as if she had prepared them along with the recipe.
‘As expected, they’re all Magic grade…… Huh?’
And as I examined the materials one by one, I soon realized that only two of them were of a different grade.
[Atium Ingot] (Rare)
Description: A metal known to be 10 times harder than steel. Other than that, it’s a metal with no special characteristics, but armor made with it is said to not break easily even when attacked. In addition, the more Atium included in the crafting process, the stronger its properties become.
*Material Value: 40.
‘Rare material?’
Looking at the material value, it was lower than Mithril, but it was still quite a useful material.
The only regret was that there were only two of these materials.
Based on my experience so far, I needed to include about half Rare materials to craft a weapon of that grade, so I was hesitant to just use these materials and craft it.
Because it would definitely come out as Magic grade if I did.
‘Let’s ask Yua first.’
I wanted to gather more materials and craft it, but since I didn’t know when I would get Rare materials, I decided to ask Yua and respect her opinion.
