The World Turned into a Game After I Woke up Chapter 74

Translator: HunterW

Editor: RED

I clearly remembered this because I remembered seeing the news report on the armor and the unbelievably low chance of completing the full armor set .

"Freaking one in a quintillion chance…" It was like telling people not to even attempt at crafting the armor . Don't make it; just dream about it . It was like it was designed to make people abandon their quest to craft the item . People even joked that the armor probably never even existed .

When people first found out about the Armor Set, there were many who set out to craft the set . Monsters in Australia dropped Armor Shards, no matter what level they were, dungeon and field monsters alike .

There was a surplus of Armor Shards because of how often they dropped and soon, the value of the Shards plummeted . Every time someone failed to create the armor, the value dropped even more .

Some, like large guilds, would mass millions of pieces in an attempt to create the Armor Set . The result was complete and utter failure . Not a single one of them ever succeeded in making even one piece of armor .

No one knew how to do it . There wasn't any record of any sort that hinted about the combination . There were so many combinations that it became just about impossible .

If someone at least knew what the starting piece was, there could have been some headway . But no one knew . It could have been A1 or D10 .

And yet, there was always someone that could make the impossible possible . Miracle workers .

-There was that one guy, Lightning Shoe, Wakaba . -

He wasn't the God of Lightning, but the Lightning Shoe for crafting the Armor set's Boots .

-Still, that was some dumb luck . -

It wasn't easy being known just from equipment and items only, and only one at that .

The reason devas with Rank 8 or higher equips were famous was because they were strong enough to wield them . Yet, Wakaba became famous just from the Boots .

-This time, it'll be me!-

I searched through the list and bought the pieces I needed . There were still a few people out there that believed they could create a miracle, so the price of some of the pieces ranged from 1,000 to 9,000 golden rings, but I bought them all without hesitation .

I bought E9, A7, B3, C5, C9, E3, A10, D4 and D1 . "I just need the last shard now . " I had confirmed that the nine pieces were there before I left for the Seorak dungeon, and that there were enough of them . However, I couldn't find the final shard and had to give up on it .

This final shard would take some time to appear as it was only dropped by harpies . Harpies were hard to kill and would fly away from battle if they were about to die . Only a few devas would set out to hunt them .

"Please be here . " I searched for B7 in the search bar .

===[Shard of a Cracked Azazel's Lightning Phantasm B7]===

-Yes!-

It was there . There was only one left! I quickly clicked on it . It cost 25,500 golden rings, but I quickly clicked the Buy button . I had every intention to fly to Australia to find one for myself if it wasn't here, but now I didn't need to!

Harpies were high level and solitary monsters, making them pretty difficult to hunt, but I was confident that I could kill them easily by baiting them . It would take quite some time though, so it was good that there was one on sale!

Each Shard took up its own slot in my inventory, but I didn't care .

-The effect of making just a single armor piece was immense, right? I should quickly go outside and craft it . -

I wasn't about to make it in the middle of a huge crowd and attract everyone's attention . I was going to check out some skills and see if there were any decent spears to buy, but right now, I was focused on the Armor Shards .

I went back up to the first floor to pick up my repaired equipment and quickly left the Store .

"I should find some place secluded . " There were too many mortals and devas around . I sprinted out of the plaza and headed for Gooryong Mountain .

------

Reaching the mountain, I looked around to make sure there was no one around me and opened my inventory to take out the ten Pieces .

"Combine Azazel's Lightning Armor Shards!"

==[You will now attempt to combine ten Azazel's Lightning Armor Shards . Please put the shards in whatever order you wish . ]==

I placed the Shards in order, from E9 to B7 . The second I placed down the B7 Shard, all of the Shards began to spark and floated up into the air . The sparks grew in intensity the higher the Shards floated . The sparks grew stronger and stronger until they burned as bright as lightning .

A huge flash of lightning struck the Shards with a deafening roll of thunder . The air around me was charged with electricity .

Multiple bolts of lightning struck the gathered Shards for five whole seconds until the gathered Shards unleashed their own bolt back into the sky . I watched the whole thing happen with my mouth wide open . I had never seen anything like this before .

This is what they meant when they said the effect was immense . It really was a good idea to not do it at the Store .

As soon as the lightning stopped, the electricity that charged the air around me dissipated, and in place of the Shards were a pair of blue boots, enveloped in a purple haze . Purple haze!

The completed boots fell straight to the ground . I walked over to them and picked them up .

"Item check!"

------------

"!!!" My jaw dropped as I read through the Boots' description . I did already know about the Boots Stats . Wakaba had gone around showing off his Boot, so everyone knew about them . But knowing about them and seeing them firsthand was very different .

"So…this is one of the seven treasures . " There were many famous items out there, but there were seven that came out above all the rest . Black Hole and Unbreakable Will were a couple of them .

STR increased by 300 and AGI by 200; it also had a free Blink skill! . . . There were so many awesome effects!

"But that Powerful Shock effect has to have made it one of the seven treasures . "

The effect lowered movement and attack speed, DEF and MDEF by 80% . It was only for three seconds, but that was enough time for any deva over the level of 1000 . A deva that strong could shower, eat, and brush his teeth in three seconds .

"Damn, whoever gets caught in the Powerful Shock effect pretty much becomes helpless for those three seconds . " That was probably why there was only a 1% chance for the effect to activate .

These boots were also why Wakaba completely switched up his fighting style . He began investing all of his Stat points into AGI and bought items and equipment to make up for his other Stats . He switched to an archer class and used arrows that had the longest range . He even purchased skills to increase his attack range and attack speed to be able to attack multiple enemies at one time .

His plan was to increase the chance of activating the effect by putting out as many attacks as possible . The result . . . was a complete success!

He would team up with his guild members, who would tank for him while he shot arrows until the effect activated . Three seconds was more than enough . To devas that didn't have the Unrivaled skill, those three seconds were an eternity . Even deities feared Wakaba!

A bolt of lightning struck you once you were caught in the effect . Once that happened, you practically stood in place, practically screaming to everyone around you to attack you!

"It's game over once that happens . " Wakaba effectively became a reaper of death once he switched his fighting style . He didn't care about damage, nor did he need to . His only role was to use his Powerful Shock to incapacitate the enemy tank . It was even better if the enemy tank had multiple healers and supporters as Wakaba could incapacitate all of them . Furthermore, the Powerful Shock effect didn't require MP or have a cooldown like skills; he just needed to have the Boots equipped to use it . His teammates only needed to look out for the bolt of lightning that notified them that the effect took hold and focus their attacks on the poor victim .

Wakaba's guild, the Baobab Guild, became one of the world's strongest guilds, and it was all thanks to Wakaba .

"I doubt I'll be able to utilize Powerful Shock as well as Wakaba . " The only reason Azazel's Boots became one of the seven treasures was because of how Wakaba switched his fight style and properly utilized it to its full potential .

"But that still doesn't mean I'm about to become an archer like Wakaba . " None of that mattered to me . The Powerful Shock was helpful, yes, but I didn't need it . Wakaba's new fighting style also relied on teammates to keep the enemy away from him . There was no way he could be that successful if he fought alone .

"Since Wakaba the Reaper is no more, doesn't that mean it's better for other devas and deities?" I looked down at the Boots as my thoughts wandered . I put the Boots on and set them to invisible .

"I suppose…this is the power of one of the seven treasures!" It had only been one day since I reached level 200, but my Stats were so much stronger from equipping one Rank 10 item!

"Ha…haha…hahahahaha!" How could I not laugh?

"It's part of a set, but I suppose I should end it with just the Boots . " When Wakaba assembled the boots, the large guilds scrambled once more to collect the Shards as the total number required went down from 50 to 40 .

"The chance to assemble one piece was still a 1 in 90,000,000,000,000,000 . " Not a single other piece of Armor ever appeared again .

"Even if I have high luck, I doubt that I'll be able to assemble a piece on my own . " I was more than satisfied with the Boots .

"I suppose if I get bored…and I mean really bored . . . I'll try my hand at it . Blink!" I used Blink to leave Gooryong Mountain and headed back for the Store . I still had more to buy!

---------

At the same time Lee Jiwon's Azazel's Earth-shaking Lightning Boots were assembled, the shards used to assemble the Boots were all removed from the auction houses . The shards crumbled into fine dust and blew off into the wind .

--------

A party of five devas were out hunting giant scorpions in the great Australian Outback . One of the party members, Esther, was the party's supporter and was occasionally casting Courage and Resist Poison on her party while debuffing the giant scorpions around them .

She was her guild's strongest support caster and had no problem casting buffs and debuffs simultaneously . Her level and items were decent, too .

She would also occasionally pick up monster drops for her party, as well . She bent down to pick up an E3 Shard that a giant scorpion dropped when the shard vanished from her hand in a cloud of dust .

"Wait, what the hell?" Her party members turned around at her surprised voice .

"What? What is it?"

"I just picked up an E3 Shard, but it just disappeared . No… it was more like in turned to dust and blew away…"

"What? What do you mean?" Her party members ceased their hunting and gathered around her .

"What I mean is… wait a second!" Esther quickly opened her inventory and saw that not only did that E3 Shard disappear, but so did her other Shards . They were all gone!

"Guys, check your inventories now!" The others opened up their inventories and saw the same .

"What the hell?"

"My C5 Shard is gone!"

"Mine too! My D1 Shards are gone, too! I had thirteen of them in here!" Their Shards were gone .

"No way…it can't be…"

"Did someone assemble an Armor piece?"

"Yeah, right! Do you have any idea how hard that is?"

"How else can you explain this…?"

" . . . "

" . . . "

No one could answer Esther's question . They knew exactly how hard it was to assemble one piece of Armor . It was impossible! They knew that the chance of assembling the first piece was 1 out of 1,491,041,720,931,840,000 . Australian devas laughed at those who tried to assemble the Armor, while taking their money .

It wasn't just Esther's party; other Australian parties found that their E9, A7, B3, C5, C9, E3, A10, D4, D1, and B7 Shards disappeared . The same went for the Shards that were on sale at all the auction houses!
