Orbis Online
49. Growth Weapons
After escaping death and penalty, Reus landed in a forest not far from the village of Viredeta. In the forest there may be a Raid encampment that will attack Viredeta some time away. At least he could get back to resting in a safe place.
Right now Reus was sitting under a tree resting his body for a moment. Although his stamina could be restored through the Vigor Potion I he drank some time ago, it was only physically. One's mental fatigue could not be restored even in the virtual world because it concerned the mind.
Please note that the character in Orbis Online is the embodiment of a giant program that comes from the mind. Everything that happens in this world will not affect the physical in the real world, but can affect the mental directly.
In other words, the virtual world that works is the brain and mind, in short, mental.
Solid Gear captures brainwaves, receives, composes, translates, and then commands a program to move characters in a virtual world. That's how Solid Gear works in short order.
Author + note: saia herself does not know for sure, this is only the result of a discussion saia with Alienaru bang about the brain and its waves:v if you want to discuss this please, saia also interested :v
As long as there is a program that can translate the brain waves and apply them into the virtual world, whatever the user thinks and wants then everything can be fulfilled. Yes, the programs and codes for creating a single virtual world are incredible in number and complexity.
Back to Reus.
Reus uses his Black Form. Wh why? Since Black Form had no time limit on usage and Energy absorbed periodically, Reus wanted to upgrade this skill to level 1-2 or higher as quickly as possible.
But what is the risk of using this skill is its cooldown which is twice the duration of use. If Reus uses Black Form one minute, then the cooldown takes two minutes to be used again.
Currently Reus had been using Black Form for approximately ten minutes. If he took it off now, he would have to wait 20 minutes first so that Black Form could be deployed again. Half an hour was quite a long time for the slightly impatient Reus.
Instead of having to wait 20 minutes, he wanted to use that time to raise his level later. That was why he was resting without releasing the Black Form from his body.
While waiting for his energy and stamina to recover, Reus researched Blackstar further. It was possible that there was something he had missed from this sword like the decrease in the effects of the Magic Devour that Blackstar had on it when fighting a magic user of a higher level than him.
"It's..."
While examining Blackstar as well as his deeper abilities, Reus discovered something new and he had never seen before on the Items or weapons he saw. Something that made him widen his eyes and even if others knew he could really be hunted for this sword.

Blackstar
Level 20: 20

An interested and confused Reus takes the Ironforge Sword from the Inventory and searches for the same explanatory panel as Blackstar, but he can't find it anywhere. He only found status panels like Dmg, Dur, and Enchant on the Ironforge Sword, no level panel like Blackstar.
"Blackstarl... Equip Growth type, huh?"
Reus just smiled happily at the latest thing about this weapon. Equip Growth type is an Equip that can develop as long as the user uses and gives him experience like a player character like himself.
In the world of Orbis Online, Equip is also divided into two types based on its Level Req. A normal type Equip is an Equip whose Level Req and status cannot be changed unless reinforced or forged. This Equip is a common Equip found in the world of Orbis Online.
Another type of Equip is the Growth type, the type that can develop during experience such as players or NPCs. As shown in Blackstar's level panel, Growth-type Equip has a percentage that indicates the need to increase its own level.
As the Growth-type Equip level increased, then his Req Level would also increase along with his level. Then the status of Dmg, Def, and Dur will also increase when reaching or raising certain levels. This is the greatness of the Growth-type Equip that makes many players want to have it.
In addition, Equip Growth type is an Item that is very, very rare to exceed Dual Wielding Skill Emblem, but not as rare as Relic.
The public knows there are two Equip Growth types that have been owned by two of the Hundred Best Players, namely Weald Staff and Sun Gauntlets. It is said that both players who have this Growth-type Equip get it when completing certain Quests that are different from each other.
They admitted that they were very unlikely to get a Reward in the form of Growth-type Equip when receiving the Quest. But they have something in common when taking a Quest, which is not hesitant to help those in need.
What and where the Quest they took, it is still a mystery for all Orbis Online players until now.
"How do I level up Blackstar? Do I have to give my own experience?"
What Reus thinks is not wrong because Equip Growth type can only be increased using experience, but the problem is he does not understand how to do it. Therefore he did not think too much about it and continued researching the other parts of Blackstar.
Too bad, there was no other feature he got from Blackstar other than the percentage increase in Blackstar level. He was not disappointed, instead he was happy. If only this sword had other features and privileges he could have kept Blackstar in the Bank because he could have depended on it so much.
In addition to relying too much on Blackstar, Reus can also sense dangers that could threaten him in the virtual world as well as the real world. With the development of technology in the present day will not be difficult for someone to trace the existence and appearance, especially for Reus who does not change his appearance from the real world.
He had to keep this sword a secret from the public so that troublesome matters would not come to him.
If he wanted to be used as freely as possible, he would have to manage to hide his identity or become much stronger than ordinary players. It could also be that he went to a hidden place to level up as well as his status, but the Plainfest continent had almost all been explored by players and NPCs.
"Things that are too great will only bring trouble when they are possessed by the weak."
After saying that, Reus got up with his breath. He formed a ready-to-fight position as soon as he heard the sound of large numbers of footsteps from the outer side of the forest. Most likely the owner of the footstep sound is the mob monsters from the village of Viredeta who are chasing him.
Reus had rested more than enough. His Stamina, HP, and Energy had already almost fully recovered, it was enough to deal with dozens or dozens of these monsters. Since he currently had an exit and a strategic place in battle, his chances of victory were not as low as before.
