Chapter 16 – Second Summoning (3)
The information I saw was so surprising that I couldn’t accept it for a moment.
Highly strengthened weapon… That’s also a crazy level 20?
Since it was the 80th level when Gram was used as the main weapon, I thought it was a strong weapon, so I thought it was level 11 at best. Why is this weapon with this insane number here?
There were rumors that it exploded and folded, but did it come to this world at all?
Maybe it’s natural.
From God’s perspective, a strong being must be called in to protect the world from demons.
But can we say that God really knows who is the strongest in the game?
You will have to choose a character based on some standard.
Wouldn’t it have been the person with the strongest weapon that set the standard at that time?
In common sense, a being with a strong weapon is bound to be in a strong position.
But unfortunately, it is not Elyon.
In order for a character to become stronger, not only weapons but also armor and accessories are important systems.
Even if you have a level 20 weapon, if your other equipment is not properly strengthened, the damage will not be as high as expected.
In short, it was created by the damn Elion operators who said, “Don’t just spend your money on weapons, spend your money on other things too.”
First of all, it seems that the owner of this character intended to strengthen and explode in the order of accessories 〉 weapons and 〉 armor, as there were no accessories other than the Centurion Armor.
So, the accessory equipment exploded and there was nothing left, and the weapon was also trying to explode, so wouldn’t it have reached the top 20?
Since I’ve never seen such numbers in my life, I probably went to the dungeon thinking I’d give it a try and blow it up.
But at that point, I imagine Gram was summoned here and now in my hands.
I thought about equipping the Centurion Armor on my body in the same way as Gram, and when I agreed to the message that appeared, the equipment was installed on my body.
I looked at it intently, just like Gram, and found information about the Centurion Armor.
「+ 3 Centurion Armor Top」
「+ 1 Centurion Armor Bottoms」
「+ 4 Centurion Armor Shoulders」
「+ 3 Centurion Armor Belt」
「+ 4 Centurion Armor Shoes」
This is so…
What a mess.
I have to do at least 10 lectures to figure out what this is.
Also, when I looked at it, there weren’t any abilities granted, right?
As the name suggests, ability granting is giving additional options to equipment.
The difference between doing this and not doing this is the difference between heaven and earth. Just by giving abilities to the same equipment, the difference in damage between a character with graduation settings and a character without graduation settings is at least doubled.
What if a 4-person party enters an instant dungeon without any abilities granted?
You will be stuffed on the community site and you will receive blocking gifts from users.
But now, where is this?
I can’t even use the equipment here properly, so I should be thankful that I can at least use this now.
I moved around while wearing Gram and the Centurion Armor to see the situation.
Of course, I could feel the heavy weight when I was carrying it as luggage, but now that I am wearing it, it feels like it has become one with my body.
I barely felt the weight I felt before installing it, and there was no particular discomfort when moving it.
To test Gram, I stood in front of a nearby dense tree.
The tree was thick enough that I had to wrap my entire arm around it.
I held my sword in both hands, raised it above my head, and swung it with all my might towards the tree.
Of course, I was so busy living day to day that I didn’t even think about doing strength training.
Also, I don’t know the letter A in swordsmanship either when I was in Korea or when I came over here.
So, the current swing posture may be correct.
Contrary to my expectation that the sword would get stuck in the middle of the tree, Gram passed through the tree as if cutting tofu.
Eh?
My mind couldn’t keep up with what was happening at that moment.
Then, when I saw a tree about to fall towards me, I came back to my senses and quickly dodged to the side.
Bang!
The tree fell with a loud noise in the direction I was in.
I almost died while testing the sword.
I once again swung at the fallen tree, and the tree broke into pieces just as before.
While watching this, I realize one thing.
That I have become stronger.
The fact is that by equipping the game character’s equipment, I can get to the starting point of being able to fight monsters like everyone else here.
“Fuck!!! Haha”
Now, I was so happy about this fact that I screamed without even realizing it.
Normally, this is something that should not be done in this forest where there are monsters.
Especially for me, who didn’t even have the strength to fight monsters, it felt like an act of suicide.
But that is neatly forgotten in my mind.
I was ignored and persecuted for five years because I had no power.
There were people who treated me like a human being, such as the guard man and the adventurer guild member Marie, but most people ignored me.
However, the fact that I had enough strength to cut down a tree this thick in one go made me forget everything for a moment.
Is this the power that Eli speaks of?
The fact that no one else has used a weapon that gives me this much power when I swing it tells me one thing.
The fact that people here can’t properly bring out the power of the equipment in the game world.
Otherwise, it would have been passed down from generation to generation as a national treasure of the empire, but instead, it was placed in a stone chamber.
Since other people cannot use the stone tablet properly, it must have been placed in the stone room so that people like us who have passed the game can use it.
Anyway, I got stronger.
I saw a way to become stronger.
That fact alone is a very touching situation.
“Jinunim!”
I looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ellie running towards me.
“Suddenly I heard Jinu’s voice and came running. Did something happen?”
Ah.
Ellie came running to my screams of joy.
“Oh, I’m sorry, Ellie. I was so happy that I screamed without realizing it. I called you here without realizing it while I was hunting monsters.”
“No. I wonder if something happened…”
Ellie looked at me closely and she soon noticed a change.
“Ah! You are wearing the stone chamber’s equipment.”
“Yes. And if I use this, I think I can fight together.”
At my words, Ellie drew a question mark on her face.
“I had no magic power, so no matter how much I used the weapon here, I couldn’t properly kill a single F-class monster. But would you like to look over there?”
He pointed to the tree that had been cut down earlier.
“I just did it. I think the power I have now means I can use the equipment from the world Ellie was in.”
“Jinu-nim did this… This is definitely something that would have been difficult for the previous Jinu-nim to do.”
“Is that so? It’s hard for me to believe it, too.”
I said, swinging my sword as if there was no problem.
“Looking at you now, I can see that you are definitely different from yesterday’s Jinu. I can feel your aura becoming stronger, especially in your weapons.”
“Can you tell by looking?”
Even if Ellie is not equipped, does she see colors according to her enhancement level?
“Yes. It is weaker than the Pandemonium that Jinu gave you, but you can tell that it contains incredibly strong power.”
The weapon Ellie is currently holding, Pandemonium, is currently at level 12.
If there are no changes before you move here, those numbers will definitely be correct.
And Ellie’s judgment was correct.
“That’s right. This is probably weaker than Pandemonium.”
If someone who doesn’t know Elion hears it, question marks will naturally appear in her head.
Pandemonium, level 12, is better than Gram, level 20.
If you look at the numbers alone, there is a difference of as much as 8.
And it actually happened!
The reason is because of the equipment level.
Gram is a level 80 item and Pandemonium is a level 100 item.
Elion has been operated with a structure in which the maximum level is gradually unlocked in 5 units over time.
It takes approximately 1 year to reach full level.
In other words, there is a time gap of 4 years between those weapons.
This alone is a huge difference, but there is one more reason why those enhancement values cannot make up the difference.
This is because a crazy reset occurred by the Elion operator.
When moving from level 80 to level 85 items, operators chose to upgrade their equipment.
However, Elion’s operators, who felt that the profits that people originally used to strengthen their weapons were greatly reduced due to this, made the worst move by releasing level 90 items.
That is a reset.
This reset is a situation where your equipment becomes a piece of data in an instant and you have to farm new items.
As a result, Elion was destroyed.
It was really almost destroyed.
The result is that the number of users has been reduced by almost half in the history of the game.
Why did this happen?
There are three reasons.
First, in a situation where you are moving from level 85 to level 90, you cannot upgrade your equipment at all.
The reinforcement values up to now have to be updated from level 90 items.
The second is that the performance difference between the 85th and 90th items was too different.
The administrators were worried that people would use level 85, which is a high level of enhancement, even if they reached max level 90, so they raised the performance of level 90 items to ridiculous levels.
The analysis results showed that the level 10 and level 85 weapons are roughly the same as the level 0 and level 90 weapons, so all that has been said is said.
It seems like they were trying to force players to move to level 90 equipment out of fear that they would still use their old weapons even if their max level changed.
The third and final one was user deception.
Elion usually participates in various events, and the event he often held before reaching level 90 was the reinforcement event.
It was an event where the probability of successful strengthening increased slightly compared to usual, but users began strengthening like crazy.
Because it’s good to be stronger than others.
I also lost my head and charged like crazy at that time.
However, at this time, a patch was announced saying that the strengthened equipment could not be upgraded to level 90, and people realized that they had been defrauded by the operator.
They deliberately made us pay for equipment that had an expiration date, but now that it has expired, we are telling them to throw it away.
For these three reasons, users exploded.
Users protested to prevent the above patch from being released, but administrators pushed for it and eventually…
At that time, I also had my fractured head sutured and my ridge raised, causing Elyon to fold.
The operators are assholes… Fuck my money.
Anyway!
“It’s important that I found a way to become stronger. I can fight alongside you.”
Although I am a newbie who has just entered the starting point.
“Hmm… Then would you like to hunt monsters with me?”
