‘It was said that it would take time……’
How long will it take?
I don’t know anything about it, so I couldn’t know, but according to Illia, since we don’t know where my Intuition comes from, we need to approach it carefully.
If we mess with it carelessly, in the worst case, I could become a vegetable?
Hearing that, I thought about cleanly quitting Twilight and everything, but since Illia showed her willingness to solve it somehow, I had no choice but to allow it.
However, apart from permission, I had to put Twilight aside for the time being.
Because I don’t know when it will be fixed.
‘Then should I organize my items until then?’
Along with organizing, I thought I should tell Aizen and Yua as well.
Suddenly, thinking that I had a lot to do, I recalled the fact that I had handed over my capsule parts to Illia and stopped walking.
Since I didn’t have the capsule parts, connection was naturally impossible.
Should I go back now and get the parts?
Faced with the unexpected situation of not being able to connect to Twilight, I wondered if I should go back, but I had already arrived near my house.
‘If I go back and forth from here, it will take another 4 hours, right?’
2 hours to go, 2 hours to come back.
If I went back and forth one more time, I probably wouldn’t be able to come back until evening.
Besides, since it seemed necessary for Illia, I decided to give up, albeit regretfully, and was wondering if I should order a new capsule when I saw a somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar store sign right in front of me.
[Virtual Reality Capsule Room]
‘Virtual Reality Capsule Room? Is it what I think it is?’
A place where you can play virtual reality games, similar to a PC room.
However, since the only virtual reality game currently released was Twilight, the only game you could play there would be Twilight.
They should have just called it the Twilight Capsule Room so it wouldn’t be confusing.
‘But if I had known there was a place like this, I wouldn’t have needed to go to Yua’s house.’
Anyway, if that place was a place where I could play Twilight, it was a good thing for me.
Now that I can’t play Twilight for a long time, and I’m thinking of connecting and disposing of items little by little, I thought this kind of capsule room might be cheaper, and went inside.
“Welcome.”
“……Yes.”
With a short reply, I looked around and saw dozens of capsules lined up.
As expected, it seems to be a space where you can play Twilight.
“Is this your first time?”
Is it because I was looking around?
I nodded to the employee who figured out it was my first time at a glance, and he began to explain as if he had prepared.
“We have a seat available, so you can purchase a card here, insert it into the capsule, and start the game. The price of the card varies depending on the time.”
“Time?”
“Yes, here it is.”
When I turned my gaze to where the employee pointed, the cards were lined up in a total of six types, from 1 to 6 hours.
What happens if I end up early and have time left?
Do they refund it?
I was curious about that, but I bought a 1-hour card and moved to an empty seat.
Actually, I don’t think I’ll have any time left.
Once I connect, it’s usually until the termination message pops up in Twilight, so I don’t think there will be any time left unless something special happens.
‘But I’ll be an exception.’
If the headache gets worse, I’ll have to end the connection.
When I connected at home, I endured for about an hour at most, so I had to finish everything within 30-40 minutes to be safe, which would be a bit busy, but not impossible.
‘Then what I have to do after connecting is……’
Tell Aizen that it’s hard to connect anymore, and sell the items I got from Beluin.
I thought these two things would be enough.
However, I’m not just going to sell them.
I was thinking of enhancing them as well. Since I’ve collected a total of two Rare Weapon Enhancement Stones by defeating the apostles, I was thinking of enhancing them to +12 before selling them.
‘I’ll probably get a few billion won.’
After organizing my thoughts, I entered the capsule and inserted the card into the small machine in front of me.
Woong━
As soon as I inserted the card, the inside of the capsule started to operate, and if I had proceeded this far, the next step was simple.
Just connect as usual.
[May you find what you desire in the streets illuminated by Twilight……]
As expected, I connected to Twilight without difficulty, and feeling the headache that started as if it had been waiting, I quickly took action.
I need to enhance first.
“Title Change. God of Enhancement.”
After changing to the God of Enhancement title to save even the enhancement time, I immediately purchased a Magic grade Weapon Enhancement Stone from the Cash Transaction Window.
‘Huh?’
While doing so, I checked if there were any Rare Enhancement Stones just in case, and surprisingly found one. I thought about it for a moment, but since a +13 item could be sold for a much higher price, I decided to purchase it without hesitation.
[Cash Transaction Item. You have purchased ‘ Brilliant Weapon Enhancement Stone ‘.]
[Purchased amount. 5,500,000 won will be automatically withdrawn.]
‘Look at the price.’
Even if it’s a hard-to-find Rare Enhancement Stone, isn’t 5.5 million won too much?
Of course, because it was listed at this price, it was still unsold.
Anyway, after purchasing the Rare Enhancement Stone, I finally took out the weapon I obtained from defeating Beluin from my Item Storage.
The reward for achieving 1st place in contribution in the Second Main Scenario.
First, the contribution included the number of apostles defeated, the damage dealt to Beluin, and the quest progress. Since there was no one better than me, I naturally took first place.
‘Still, it’s a shame.’
That I have to sell this item.
Anyway, the item I received for 1st place in contribution was a staff.
Actually, I couldn’t hide my bewilderment when I first saw this weapon.
Beluin was a warrior type who wielded a sword, no matter how you looked at it, but a staff popped out?
I would have understood if it was the Sword of Ruin, but I was annoyed that this kind of staff came out, but after actually checking it, it wasn’t an item to be annoyed about.
[Daylis, Origin of Darkness] (Legend)
Description: An absolute weapon containing the divinity of Beluin, the god of deep darkness. Because it contains divinity, it can draw out the inherent power of Beluin, albeit slightly. In other words, it means that you can use the power of God. Considering the power of Beluin, who rules darkness, the usable divine power is naturally limited to the attribute of darkness. However, those who use the power of darkness will not find a better weapon than this.
Attack Power: 200 Magic Attack Power: 1400
Durability: 500/500
*Magic Power & Summoning 20% increase.
*Darkness type skill +3 effect.
*Death Summoning type skill effect 50% increase.
*S-rank skill ‘ Army of Darkness (LV30) ‘ always applied.
‘Well, the Restricted Stat is high, but.’
The stats are good, but looking at this darn Restricted Stat, I wondered if there would be anyone who could use it.
The Sword of the Guardian God, which I obtained before, was only A~S rank, but this one was openly S rank.
However, I thought it would work out somehow, considering that S-rank skills were gradually being released, and that I had confirmed the existence of an item called Skill Sealing Book, so I decided to start enhancing.
[Enhancement successful.]
‘Besides, since I have scrolls, I won’t be unable to equip it, right?’
Thinking that, I finished the rest of the enhancement, and after about 20 minutes, I was able to use all the Enhancement Stones and finish up to +13.
A Legend grade weapon enhanced to +13.
Confident that I could get at least a few billion won if I sold it, I used an Instant Return Scroll to move to my house and immediately went to the Real-Time Auction House to register the legendary staff.
Of course, it goes without saying that the branch manager came out to greet me directly because of the item being registered.
“Thank you for entrusting us with such a valuable item. If you don’t mind, can we promote this item?”
“Promote?”
“Yes, it probably won’t be bad news for Rudin-nim either. Because more people will participate.”
Promote……
Are they going to promote that a legendary item has appeared?
If they did that, the Real-Time Auction House would be able to gather the highest number of participants ever.
‘The goal is the entrance fee and commission, right?’
An entrance fee of 1 gold and a commission of 5%.
Thinking up to that point, I came to the conclusion that it wasn’t bad and readily agreed, and the branch manager was very happy and thanked me repeatedly.
Anyway, after finishing my business with the branch manager like that, I used an Instant Return Scroll again to move to the Guild Castle and decided to meet Aizen lastly.
‘Hoo, this is quite busy too.’
It seemed like I had spent quite a lot of time just enhancing and registering the item.
About 30 minutes combined?
So, assuming that I had about 10 minutes left, I contacted Aizen, and Aizen, who boasts an almost unrivaled connection time, easily received my contact and we were able to meet at the Guild Castle soon.
“It’s been a while since Rudin-nim contacted me first.”
“Ah, is that so?”
Without having to recall anything, the reason I contacted Aizen first was because I had a favor to ask.
Other than that, I never contacted him first, and Aizen also nodded at my question and brought up the main point.
“But what’s the matter?”
“Well……”
Hmm, strangely, it felt a bit difficult to speak when I was about to.
Is it because of the time we spent together?
Anyway, I couldn’t keep it from him forever, so I let out a small sigh and spoke as briefly as possible.
“Due to various circumstances, I don’t think I’ll be able to connect properly from now on.”
“……Are you quitting Twilight?”
“I’m not quitting completely. But I don’t think I’ll be able to participate in things like the Main Scenario or Guild Quests like this time.”
Guild Quests could be completed within an hour if done quickly, but I couldn’t be sure since the remaining Guild Quest was A-rank.
It might be better to simply decide that I can’t do it like now.
And at my answer, Aizen was contemplating with a serious expression, unlike usual.
“I understand. Then what do you want to do from now on, Rudin-nim?”
“It’s simple. I’m going to step down from the Vice Guild Master position since it’ll be difficult for me to connect for a while.”
Considering the current position of the Emperor Guild, it wasn’t right for me, who couldn’t even connect, to continue sitting in the Vice Guild Master position.
I hadn’t even done anything befitting the position of Vice Guild Master in the first place.
Also, since the Emperor Guild would continue to do well even without me, I said so without any lingering attachment, but Aizen’s expression still wasn’t good.
“Will it continue to be difficult for you to connect?”
“Well? I can’t say for sure either.”
My connection depended entirely on Illia’s capabilities, so I didn’t know when I would be able to play Twilight.
“Then you can stay as you are.”
“Hmm? You’re going to keep someone who can’t even connect as the Vice Guild Master?”
“Yes, because nothing will change anyway.”
……Is that so?
He’s saying he’ll leave it as it is since I didn’t do anything special when I was active as the Vice Guild Master, but thinking about it, it wasn’t wrong, so I had no room to refute.
“Anyway, it’s a shame.”
“I’ll connect often. Although I won’t be able to stay long.”
“I understand. Then I’ll let the guild members know.”
“But I’m sorry for this and that.”
“Don’t worry about it. Just come back as soon as possible.”
“I’ll try.”
Having said that, I felt a headache that exceeded a certain level and decided to end the connection soon.
“Then I’ll be going.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Don’t overwork yourself either.”
Leaving those words to Aizen, who was immersed in developing the territory as soon as the Second Main Scenario ended, I immediately terminated the connection, and at the same time, my vision showed the inside of the capsule and the headache gradually subsided.
“Hoo.”
Is everything in Twilight settled now?
I was a little concerned that I hadn’t told Yua, but since I could meet Yua in reality, I thought it wouldn’t be a big problem and pulled out the card inserted in front of me and got out of the capsule.
