" ==[Name: Lee Jiwon Level: 675 Death Count: 0 Title: Earth's First Deva HP: 8,865,700/8,865,700 MP: 357,800/357,800 Strength: 20,474+ 2,463 Agility: 14,051 Vitality: 14,151 Willpower: 3,518 Intelligence: 3,248 Unassigned Stat Points: 500 + 135 Fatigue: 0 Special Effects: Luck Boost (X+1), immune to all Status effects, Dungeon Seeker 14 points Physical Attack: 77,106 Physical Defense: 31,347 Magical Attack: 11,304 Magical Defense: 19,384]== It took a month and a half to gain 25 levels . Like always, that was a very fast pace, but I still wasn't satisfied . "I'll need to work harder if I want to get my base STR to 20,000 as soon as possible . " I put all of my unassigned Stat points into STR again, took out a Werewolf Clan Warp Scroll and ripped it . It was the fastest way for me to get back home . I warped to the Faroe Islands, used the Teleporter there to London, and from there warped to the Store in Seoul . ------ -It's always busy here . - Every time I came back to Seoul via the Faroe Islands and London, I couldn't help but compare the three places . What I really noticed was that Seoul always had more people . London was no doubt a main city in its own right, and was definitely busier than the Faroe Islands, but still fell behind Seoul . I had even spent a month in New York at the behest of the Shire Guild, and even then, Seoul was busier . -Seoul definitely wasn't like this in the past . - I put on my hat and sunglasses and walked towards Store 72, to check on the quest notice before I headed home . Thankfully, everyone else was too focused on the quest to notice me . ------ Inside the Store was even busier than the outside, all because of the quest . "Dream on!" "Why? What's wrong with this item? It boosts all Stats by 50 points and boosts VIT another 250 . It even boosts defensive skills by 4 . 2% . " "What rank is it?" "Why is… does rank have to be important?" "Dude, think about it . Do you really think anything under Rank 7 is going to cut it with this quest?" "But still…" "But still nothing . Don't do it you don't want to get embarrassed in front of the entire world . You need at least a Rank 8 if you want to get in the top 50 . Anything lower will get you nowhere, no matter how good the effects are . " "But there aren't that many Rank 8 items out there . " "Right; which is why we don't have a chance with this quest . We're just here to see what kind of crazy items are out there . " " . . . " The man who came hoping to register his item and get into the top 50 fell silent when his friend shot him down . What his friend said definietely wasn't wrong . Just then, a shout came from the quest board . "Hey! Someone put up a Rank 9 item!" "Russia's D . Nerv registered the Hailing Snowstorm . " "Damn!" "Check out those effects!" "Shit, man . Where do you get items like that? If a Rank 9's this strong, how powerful is a Rank 10?" "If I had an item like this, I'd be leveling like crazy; at least ten levels a day!" "Yeah, dude! If I had that, I'd even jump into the Sea of Reset and switch to an Ice Mage . " --- A Rank 9 had entered the quest and people were scrambling to check it out . -I used to be like that, too . - I remembered how I used to stand where they stood; dreaming about what it would be like for me if I had those items . I stayed behind the crowd instead of heading to the quest board and focused on the "!" mark above it . ==[Bring Me Your Best Treasure! (No Rank) Gulman was known as the greatest blacksmith to ever exist . His worst pieces were all Rank 8, his average pieces were Rank 9 and all of his masterpieces were Rank 10 . Anyone who touched his work was filled with awe . However, Gulman has not crafted any items for the past 200 years . His fire and inspiration to once again craft masterpieces has completely died out . Since then, Gulman has been searching for a treasure that will reignite his passion once more . Bring an item great enough to reignite Gulman's passion to craft once more . Quest ends: 30 days remaining . Accept/Decline]== ==[If you accept the Bring Me Your Best Treasure! quest… Each person can only register up to three items at a time . Registering items means will they will be revealed for others to see through the quest board while you still have them equipped . You will receive points based on the items' rank, rarity and effects . Only 50 participants with the highest points will have their names and items revealed to the public and only they will receive the rewards when the quest ends . Rewards can vary from Rank 8 Random Item Chests, Special Random Skill Chest, to golden rings, skill points and Stat points . ]== "Accept," I said as soon as I read through the quest description . It was the perfect quest for me . ==[You have accepted the quest, Being Me Your Best Treasure! You will be granted 3 slots to register your items . Once they are registered, they cannot be removed or cancelled from the list until the quest ends . You have received the command, Register Item . ]== Once I accepted the quest, I left the Store without registering any items . The quest had just started and for the next month, it was going to be a fierce battle of wits between the largest guilds . There was another problem for all of us, though; once an item was registered, it was going to be revealed to the public, even the items we had been hiding away and saving as last resorts . Then again, some guilds would still do it if it meant becoming famous . That was what Wakabi of the Baobab Guild did in the past after he assembled the Lightning Boots of Azazel . "Everyone participating in the quest is going to have to make the choice; is revealing their best item going to be worth whatever the quest reward is?" That was just how valuable items were . I hadn't realized that in the past, and had only watched in awe and envy as new items were registered every day . Things were different now; I had many overpowered items of my own and knew different people who also had some of their own . "Still… I should participate . The quest reward is going to be too good to just pass up and watch from the sidelines . " In the past, a fierce battle of wits had broken out between the larger guilds who had revealed their best items to get in the higher ranks . The smaller guilds and solo players eventually got caught up in the flow and registered their own secret items . It was then that everyone realized the treasure of an underdog could very well become the origin of disaster; as if it was all part of someone's well written screenplay . ------ Back at my house in Seoul… "Welcome back, young master . " I had already called ahead that I would be home soon and a few members of my new family were waiting outside to greet me . "Thanks . I'm back . " "Go on in, sir . The madam has been waiting for you . " I headed inside and saw my mom waiting by the foyer . "Others get too tired and can only hunt for a week at a time, but you…I just don't get how you find it so fun," my mother complained . "But a week's too short . " "Oh, whatever . Go wash up . I'll have your meal ready . " "Alright . I want a lot since it's been a while since I've had your cooking!" "Okay, okay . I bought a lot of beef since you like it so much . " "Thanks, mom . " It was nice coming home to a hot, home-cooked meal and people waiting for me . After I had dinner with my mother and grandfather, I went up to my room to put my feet up . The quest had yet to start and all I had to do for now was to wait . ------ The next day… 'Banana candy!' I was watching TV as I fed the Dungeon Mole a piece of candy while petting it from head to tail . All of the channels were talking about this new quest . --- "Obviously the larger guilds will have the best items, won't they?" "It would seem so . The best way to get items of Rank 8 or higher is to defeat dungeon bosses as many times as possible, after all . " "Then will this quest be monopolized by those guilds?" "I doubt that will be the case . I'm sure there are a few solo players out there who have items we did not think existed . " "I see . Also, it has only been a day since the quest was announced, but there aren't many Rank 8 items registered . The highest is a Rank 9 as well . Does this mean that there just aren't that many Rank 8's out there?" "That is true, but this is more because of a battle of wits?" "What do you mean by that?" "This quest is 30 days long and only one day has passed . No one is quite willing to reveal their hands quite yet . " "That makes sense . Then…" --- Someone knocked while I was immersed in fiddling with the Dungeon Mole, but I had an idea who it was and why they were here . "Tell him to come in . " "Sir?" the guard on the other side of the door asked in confusion . "Song Haechang is out there with you, isn't he? Tell him to come in . " "Oh . Yes, sir . " The door opened and Song Haechang walked in . We were meeting quite often these days, and it was usually he who came knocking first . "Hey there . " "Welcome . Have a seat . " "Thanks . " I poured each of us a cup of tea and lay back against my armchair . "I think you know how this new quest is causing quite a stir recently," Song Haechang said . "I do . I heard about the quest mid hunt and just came back . " "I see . Well, I came here to tell you one thing about the quest . " "What is it?" "The Rank 9 King-Emperor's Mantle is yours, not Sunbin's . You can feel free to register it and don't have to worry about us . " I gave a small smirk at what he just said . "Oh, I'm not saying this because we're looking down on you or anything . I'm just saying in case something happens so that you have one less thing to worry about . And don't forget that if Cheng Long ever gives you a hard time, the Sunbin Guild is always ready to get them off your back . " I knew exactly what Song Haechang meant . The King-Emperor's Mantle did belong to the Sunbin Guild at first, and was an item Cheng Long could still be hung up on . Sunbin was just looking out for me in advance, in case I ended up hesitating about it . However, I should be the one asking for their understanding, not them . I was planning on registering my Rank 10 King-Emperor's Commitment to get first place in this quest . Once Sunbin and Cheng Long saw the item's name on the list, they could easily figure out what happened in the Tomb . "Thanks for looking out for me . " "Don't worry about it . I want to thank you for understanding our intentions . " "It was easy enough to understand what you meant . But…" "What is it?" "I think I should be the one asking for your understanding . " "What do you mean…?" Song Haechang wasn't there at the Tomb that day, but everyone already knew what items were rewarded and what I did to the boss . "Open Item . " I revealed the King-Emperor's Commitment that I hadn't shown to anyone else yet . He and Sunbin were bound to find out about it once I registered it anyway, so I might as well show them first . ==[The King-Emperor's Commitment (Rank 10) The King-Emperor's true treasure . All Stats increased by 450 points Increase Mana Conversion skill level by 2 Add Blink Skill Increase CRIT rate by 9% Increase CRIT damage by 500% Increase Penetration by 240 points Increase EXP gain from monsters by 15% DEF 1000, MDEF 1000]== I watched Song Haechang's shocked expression for a while . I completely understood what he was probably thinking right now .
