"Hum…"

After he was done with his rewards from the Wyvern, the only thing left were the many changes to his Reputation score as he interacted with the Villagers of the shelter.

'That's about it from my notifications…'

'Then it's time for a Status Update.'

'... The more I look at it, the less I believe it.' He thought as he exhaled slightly

'The power of items is real, they more than double what all of my Stats should've been… Most of them at least.'

'My progress with my Class is also moving on smoothly now, it almost changes a little every time I level up.'

'Albeit... It seems to be stuck now on 4.9%, there must be a hidden requirement left for me to achieve.'

'That's not hard to figure out at all, in the story of the Alma Conqueror, pretty much everything the protagonist had to go through is recorded for me to interpret.'

'I even think I have an idea of what it is... Tough, now's not the time for such things.'

'Once I'm back, I'll likely have a day or two, perhaps only a few hours left before Babylon opens, at that time I should take a look at these things in preparation for what lies ahead.'

'As for the rest…'

Dale opened his inventory to inspect the strange shard he got from defeating the Wyvern.

[Shard of Belterix (Legendary)

Category: Material

]

"!"

'Legendary!... But a material?'

'Sigh… Of course… It's almost a curse that the best rarity is always in the form of something non-conventional... Though I can't say anything about it.'

'There's no description or anything, a bit weird, makes me remember of the Thorn on the Commander's body…'

'Albeit in that case, I couldn't read anything because it was all censored.'

Dale sneakily removed the shard from his invetory, touching and inspecting it while Testros walked in front of him.

The red shard looked like the fragment of some sort of crystal, but it was heavy like a chunk of iron.

Light couldn't pass completely through it but it was somewhat transparent as he could see a little inside it.

'It doesn't seem to be made out of metal, but appearances can be deceiving.'

'Is it an alchemical product or something else entirely? A magical crystal of some kind?'

'It's only when I'm not with David that these kind of things happen to me...'

'Sometimes I find it strange he's not here to give me an explanation on things.'

'Either way, I don't think Resko has the ability to process such a thing yet.'

'I wonder how rare it really was though.'

Thinking deeply, Dale stored the shard as he opened the Loot Pool of the Wyvern to start choosing his items, being surprised by what he saw.

"..."

'Several Epic grade items… I think the lowest grade is Relic… That's quite good.'

'To be expected of a Boss of this Level.'

'I can already imagine it, several dozen High Level players gather together to fight an over level enemy, and upon defeating it, a sea of items fall into the ground pilling up in glistering glory...'

'Only for a war to start over the ownership of the different items.'

'Multiple Fable and even a few Luminous… But no Legendary items.'

'Now then, time to choose…'

With so many options in front of him, Dale started weighting down the possibilities…

'I don't need a new set of armor... Unless it's really good... After all, this Armor is only Relic Grade, if I could change it for a Relic or even Epic Grade...'

'Alas, it would also be a pain to explain its origins so I would have to give it up on using it in public.'

'I guess this somewhat tells me how strong an Elite Captain was meant to be.'

'If a Wyvern can drop so many Relic items, while the Elite Captain wears Relic Grade items, then their strength might've been similar.'

'Of course, the armor is not fully operational as Barme was unable to fix the runes and enchantments on the metal, but I think that together, they might've raised the ratting of the armor by one tier to Fable at most.'

'It makes me wonder how qualified I am to be one if they were still around...'

'Next... Weapons?... I can't see myself grabbing anything really, Failure may be rather weak right now, but the combination of the shaft made of a Relic Grade material and the thorn of unknown grading should be more then enough for now.'

'... I may pick up a dagger for very close range combat, make some use of my CQC Skill, mayhap even a bow since I lack that sort of range.'

'I've been training with the bow as part of Testros' training but if I have no decent weapon to use... It would be quite the waste.'

'It would also work as a surprise factor, taking a bow out of nowhere in the middle of a fight.'

'Skill Books are also a must, and lastly... Accessories.'

'The ones I use are already pretty good, but I'm always on the lookout for more.'

'Aside from my two rings, the rest is only Relic Grade like the armor.'

'There are many options here... And even if I don't find anything, there are quite some clothing accessories here that provide zero use to me apart from looking good... Like this red cape that looks really damn fancy...'

'I'll grab it if I have enough later... Just for the sake of it...'

'My excuse?... I'll just say it's a family heirloom'

In order to better compare his items, Dale opened the Statuses of all his Accessories, leaving them in the open so he could inspect them easily.

This made his vision quite packed, but he got used to it pretty fast...

[Red Rock Ring (Epic)

Rating: 6.5-Stars

+60 Strength, Constitution, and Dexterity.

+30 Prime Origin

Unique Effect -> Eruption

Ignite the Volcanic shard within the ring to bring forth a powerful force akin to a raging Volcano.

Set Effect -> Eclipsing Ashes

The Red Rock will slowly release Volcanic ash into it's surroundings as long as it's being supplied with Mana.

The ash will slowly accumulate within a given area, and the longer it does, the stronger its debilitating effects become.

10 seconds -> The ash will cause mild poisoning to all being within 15M radius of the user.

100 seconds -> The ash will cause grave poisoning to all being within 30M radius of the user and a thick ash fog will form with the user at the center, interfering with most forms of sensory observation.

1000 seconds -> The ash will cause massive poisoning to all being within 60M radius of the user, the ash fog will become so thick that those that move within it will see their movements slow down due to it's heaviness.

10000 seconds -> All previous effects are maintained, but their coverage area is increased to 120M, and the special property, Molten ground will be in effect.

Molten ground -> Standing in place for 30 seconds creates a Magma pool that heals wounds at a very slow pace.

The further away someone gets to the Red Rock, the greater the pulling force and heat damage they'll take.

Requirements: Constitution: 200

Description:

A Masterfully done ring created with a volcanic rock spat from within a Volcano somewhere within the Southern borders.

It does not posses a name due it being unique, and its merely called, The Red Rock.

Apart from this, nothing much is known, the ring's design merely taps into the inner power naturally contained within the Red Rock with most of it's capabilities being meant to protected their wielders from it's own slumbering effects.

]

[Blue Rock Ring (Epic)

Rating: 6.5-Stars

+60 Mental Power, Reflexes, and Mana.

+30 Soul Power

Unique Effect -> Frozen Clouds

Ignite the Meteor shard within the ring to bring forth a smooth air cold enough to freeze fire.

Set Effect -> Still Ocean

The Blue Rock will slowly release cold air into it's surroundings as long as it's being supplied with Mana.

The cold air will slowly accumulate within a given area, and the longer it does, the stronger its debilitating effects become.

10 seconds -> The cold air will form into faint mist within 15M radius of the user.

100 seconds -> The faint mist will now affect a greater area of 30M and it'll gather into small clouds that when touched, will deal heavy freezing damage,

1000 seconds -> The cold clouds will rise into the sky and cover a greater area of 60M, freezing the water in the atmosphere and turning it into sharp hail.

10000 seconds -> All previous effects are maintained, but their coverage area is increased to 120M, and the special property, Ground Zero will be in effect.

Ground Zero -> The cold air released by the Blue rock will become so strong that it becomes akin to a snowstorm.

The closer someone gets to the Blue rock, the greater the pushing force and freezing damage they'll take.

Requirements: Constitution: 200

Description:

A Masterfully done ring created with the shard of a frozen Comet that fell somewhere within the Southern borders many centuries ago.

It does not posses a name due it being unique, and its merely called, The Blue Rock.

Apart from this, nothing much is known, the ring's design merely taps into the inner power naturally contained within the Red Rock with most of it's capabilities being meant to protected their wielders from it's own slumbering effects.

'... Sometimes I wonder if these are really Epic items, I feel like they should've been Fable at the very least.'

'Though in a sense, they may be.'

...

/Later.../

By the time he finished with his choices, a massive hole leading into darkness appeared in front of him.

Even with his better vision, Dale couldn't even see the other side of the hole, much less its bottom.

"We're here." Testros proclaimed as he crouched near the edge of the hole
