After entering the 'North End Cave' at the end of the three-month journey, Rous was able to witness the incredible sight of all kinds of battle equipment piling up like a mountain.
(Rous character name MC in game)
“Wah, what is this?”
The names of the brilliant war gear are in a colorful mix of green, yellow, and purple. If he took only a few of these, he would become a rich man! He wanted to take all the war supplies, but that was impossible.
[It cannot be obtained.]
“How Stingy and Regretting.”
There were items that could not be obtained even though they were right in front of him! When Rous put it in his bag, it would return to its original place like a mirage. This situation is like a cake in the sky or a married woman. No, a married woman is still different from a cake in the sky, because one can still get a married woman if she tries hard enough.
In the end, Rous could only stare at the item with longing and regret.
'Indeed ... If players could get all of this, Satisfy's economic balance might be shattered. Unfortunately, I understand.'
First of all, he didn't come here for war supplies. Rous calmed his mind and turned his attention away from the pile of war supplies. There was an old book placed on a shiny golden table.
"Finally..."
All the hardships he experienced when coming here passed through his mind. Laughter emerged from his mouth as his nose became watery and tears dripped from his eyes. Fortunately, Rous had patience and tenacity. Otherwise, he would be out of the game due to the dire difficulty of the quest. He felt very proud of the thought of completing this quest.
“Pfft... Huahahaha!! I finally found it!! Oh, yahhhh!”
It was a damn S-class quest that was impossible to give up! And also, how many deaths did he experience in this solo quest? How many items have been destroyed for not having any more durability?!
Pagma, a human blacksmith who surpassed the skills of dwarves, had reached the pinnacle of a god-like technique!
The face of Earl Ashur, which made Rous visit one of the five forbidden zones of the Eternal Kingdom, appeared on Rous's head.
“If I bring this to him, can I get the Sword of the Sun? Once I get it, no one can match me for the rest of my life, that bastard! I'll make him pay after beating me up!"
Pleasure surged like a wave as Rous picked up the book.
[You have obtained a rare book of a legendary craftsman!]
[It's not in the right condition. You can check the details using the Eye of Pallalian.]
[Do you want to use Pallalian Eyes?]
“Pallalian Eyes? A high-end appraisal item was required to inspect the item? ”
The Eye of Pallalian is the most expensive among the appraisal items available. Six months ago, Rous bought it just in case he hit the jackpot. Unfortunately, he could not use it, and it was left in his inventory.
“I don't want to miss a golden opportunity..”
Rous delayed the assessment and checked the golden table. He wondered if there was a way to take this gold, but was unwilling to move. Kicking, pulling, and even biting is pointless.
Like war gear, it was an item that the user could not possess.
“Ah, I really can't save anything because of this system. My three months of work are very expensive.”
He looked at the book in his hand.
'I have to give Earl Ashur an item, so do I really need to use an expensive item to appraise it?'
Rous struggled for a moment before taking out the Pallalian Eye. It was natural to wonder about the source of her suffering for three months.
"Valuation."
[Pagma Rare Book]
[Rank: Legendary]
This was a book that contained the techniques of Pagma, a blacksmith who transcended human limits. The person who opened the book could become a legendary blacksmith.
Effect: Becoming the Successor of Pagma.
Condition: None.
* Levels and statistics will change when used.]
[The legendary item has been found!]
[Reputation will rise by 500 across the continent.]
Rous's body started shaking.
“Wah... Jackpot..”.
This is a legendary item! Rous's reputation rose by 500 across the continent just because he found it! It was an incredible harvest, considering it was difficult for a player to raise their reputation to 100 in just one city.
'Reputation is reputation, but ...'
Rous wondered if he had seen it wrong, so he read the description of the item again. However, there is no change in its contents.
“Jack ~~ pot !!”
He's not hallucinating. Rous was very excited and could hear his heart beating fast. He had thought it was just a skill book, but it was actually for a class change. Furthermore, it was a legendary class! This meant that it was the strongest class in the world!
“In addition, there are no conditions to use it ..”
Tears flowed from his eyes. Over the past year, she had to pay her loan interest and fees for her Satisfy account, and she also took time off from school. His friends left him one by one. The school students laughed at him. People thought he was lazy...
His initial plan was to sell the items he acquired during the game and turn them into cash so he could pay off his loans, accounts, and school money. However, Satisfy was not a fair world. It was difficult to earn money, and he could barely get the equipment for himself, let alone the one he could sell.
"It's over... I can say goodbye to this nightmare life!"
This was a legendary class change item! If he were to register it as an auction item on the item trading site, it was clear that his transaction price would be worth tens of millions of won.
No, it was an item that provided the best class among two billion users, so was it only worth tens of millions of won? Rous could be sure that it was worth at least hundreds of millions of won. He might be able to obtain an incredible amount that he never even imagined!
“Hahahaha!! Mama! Daddy's! This job finally worked! Now it's time to leave the game and forget about finding a job! My parents can stop being embarrassed by their son in front of the neighbors! Ahee! Oppa finally did! Now I don't have to be ashamed every time I meet me on the street! When my friend wants to come and play in my house, I don't have to resist and make excuses! And my friends! alumni! They can't ignore me anymore as a pathetic game loser! I will be successful with the game! I've taken a few steps ahead of you in society! Huahahaha!!”
He had paid 10 million won to buy the capsule, and the interest on his loan rose by hundreds of thousands of won each month.
“Ahyoung is still beautiful..’
He envisioned attending his High School alumni meeting for the first time in two years in a foreign car. Successful alumni will not be able to ignore it anymore. Then she blushed when the face of her first love, Ahyoung, appeared in her mind.
"Okay, let's go and sell!"
A quest? Rous doesn't care about that now. Clearly, while the reward was a weapon that belonged to the epic rank, it was nothing compared to the price of this book. His affinity with Earl Ashur was about to fall, and it would probably end with him not receiving any more quests from him. Nonetheless, there was no reason to be afraid when there were hundreds of millions of won in front of him.
"LogOut!"
He exclaimed with confidence.
Then a notification window appeared before his eyes.
[You cannot get out of the game here.]
[Earl Ashur has appeared.]
“......?”
While Rous struggled to make sense of what was going on, dozens of knights jumped into the cave. Then the familiar Earl Ashur appeared. Rous panics when Earl Ashur finds him.
The earl's expression became distorted.
"Foolish comers, you all have the same greed."
[Quest 'Secret Request of Earl Ashur' (S) has been changed to 'Earl Ashur's Anger' (SS).]
[Anger of Earl Ashur]
[Difficulty Level: SS]
Earl Ashur chose you because of your average abilities, your stupidity, and because you are easily exploited. He entrusts you with the task of finding Pagma's rare book that he wasn't even sure existed.
He placed a guard on you and came as soon as he heard that you entered the 'North End Cave'. Earl Ashur has witnessed you blinded by the greed for Pagma's rare book and has no intention of forgiving you. He intends to kill you and retrieve Pagma's rare book.
* The affinity with Earl Ashur has dropped by 100.
* Because of your actions, all the fame you built in Patrian has disappeared, and you are now famous. Patrian's population affinity has fallen by 40. They will look at you and call you a thief.
Quest Clear Conditions: The death of Earl Ashur and his guard knights.
Clear Reward: Earn the title 'Noble Killer.'
* His Noble Killer: Intelligence -50.
All the nobles in the kingdom will hate and oppress you. Your work will be limited. The affinity of some commoners and royalty would increase.
Mission Failure: Level - 2.
You will no longer be able to enter Patrian.
[Every Patrian warrior will kill you when he sees it.]
Patrian is the early town where Rous first created his character.
He had built up a considerable reputation while completing the quest on Patrian from level 1 to the present, and his affinity with the residents was at its maximum. All the merchants gave him a 20% discount when he bought the item, and the item he sold was bought at 15% above its value. There were also residents who gave him hidden missions as he approached them. All of these achievements automatically fly when the mission is updated.
“...Ah, I— This is shit,”
the curse naturally emerged from Rous's mouth.
“Earl Ashur's... No, asshole! This damn bastard is forcing me to do a search where I am not sure if I can find the item or not!! If Pagma's rare book was something that didn't exist, I would have fought for months in vain! You're the one who tricked me first, but you want to make me look bad at Patrian? You jerk!”
Hearing their master being cursed, the hot-headed knights immediately whipped out their swords.
Earl Ashur held them back and then said coldly to Rous,
“You've decided to betray me before you know you were cheated. Even so, you still act with pride. ”
“Does greedy want a reasonable reward after experiencing many difficulties in this mission? this is not a betrayal!” Rous Resistance.
Earl Ashur sneered at Rous's words,
“Don't I promise to give you a gift in return? We signed the contract, but you have violated my good faith out of greed. ”
This was not something Rous could handle with words.
As Rous fell silent, Earl Ashur's momentum increased as he continued to chat, saying,
“You really are a poor man. The more I look, the more I can feel it. But there are times when you can do extraordinary things, because honestly I did not expect you will find a cave that has been lost from this history. I will punish you for your ignorance, but as a reward for your patience, I will kill you without the slightest pain.”
