"What!" Yone unknowingly yelled out as he checked the dagger's details, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
Epic Items was the rarest items from Yone's understanding, and if he wasn't living under a cave, a level 6 player should never be allowed to have such an item especially if it was a weapon.
'Sealed or not sealed, this isn't supposed to be a weapon I can receive so early, whats happening here,' Yone was truly confused at this point, he did have a guess of why he received such an item, but truly didn't wanna link it to that.
From his understanding, there were three possible directions to obtain such a weapon early on, and knowing the AI that made no mistakes in its game design, one of them had to be true. All of them indicated that Yone was truly ignorant in his past life.
He knew it was either that the epic rank wasn't as rare as he thought, or he was living in a bubble, or the quest was extremely important, which is why he received such an item given its significance to the kingdom, or both options combined.
'Nah, no way it's the two last reasons, it is most likely the first," He knew that such a quest isn't that important as it was only related to one small kingdom and no more, and he also knew that with following the same logic, the third option isn't an option no more.
That was the only left option...
Yone awkwardly scratched his head for a split second before swallowing facts,' I truly was ignorant, I got proven wrong in a matter of an hour in two single manners. I'm indeed not perfect and will make a lot of mistakes, and I have to deal with this.'
He wasn't disheartened by this as knowing one's shortcoming is strength in itself, and Yone gladly accepted his shortcomings...his advantages are still there, it's just that a lot of setback exists and he had to deal with them.
'This won't be a free ride as I thought it would,' He chuckled as he moved his finger and did a few clicks and called someone he hadn't spoken to for about six hours.
"Look who it is, I was in fact gonna call you but you saved me that trouble haha," Silent Wall laughed through the call.
Yone steeled his mental as dealing with this guy is truly a headache and replied calmly," Well, I have already told you to join something another time, and here it is. So, are you interested in joining a party group with me for Death Stone Dungeon?"
"Of course I'm interested, also, I heard the news and it seems like the top guilds did you dirty by letting you think you are some big shot out there. Making use of the noobs to boost your ego and even announcing their interest in you, so how..." Silent Wall was about to continue when Yone suddenly cut him off.
"We both know their deep foundation, you actually think I was born yesterday?" Inwardly, however,' I was truly born yesterday it seems,' he then continued with a shrug," It's whatever, let's forget about it. It doesn't affect me in the slightest as I never thought for a second that I'm better than any of them, I won't go on Syclone's footsteps, friend."
Hiss!
Silent Wall took a deep breath after hearing his words. Truly, he knew his guy was special from the launch of the game, and he kept proving it to him the more he interacted and saw his astonishing progress.
"Anyway, let's go, I'm here," Silent Wall hung up as he grabbed Requiem's shoulders. He was wearing casual, common items on the surface, but Yone's eyes lit up as he saw his shield and weapon that even the paladin crept out.
"Uncommon items already and a shield plus weapon at that, you're not bad," Yone commented, but immediately changed the subject afterwards.
"Let's go dive into a Dungeon."
Looking back at Requiem, Silent Wall had a grave expression,' This guy, he figured out the items I hid from all my friends and made them think they are common at a glance, is he truly just a newbie like those top experts are saying on the forums?'
He had his doubts as he started taking Requiem even more seriously, but still didn't linger much on those thoughts and followed behind. Lucky player or a good player, he will find out in a bit.
When Yone and Silent Wall arrived at the Dungeon Area of the Death Stone, the entire Crystilaized Stone Forest was filled with people. Level 2 players were everywhere, and many players were forming parties to enter the Dungeon.
"Open party for Death Stone, welcoming caster damage dealers, 4 waiting for 2."
"We are a solid party that played together for months, we are just missing a good healer; guaranteed to clear on easy mode and 70% chance at normal mode."
Seeing such a scene, Yone shook his head slightly. He walked towards Life, who was waving her arm. In Yone's previous life, the players had been stuck at the Death Stone for a long time.
The Dungeon was only cleared when the majority of players were Level 9. It was that hard to complete indeed, and even then, no one cleared it at the Hell Mode as the boss's mechanics on Hell Mode were on a totally different level that people paled with fear the moment they finished the first boss and were about to tackle the next one.
"Brother Requiem, you arrived way earlier than I thought you would come." Life was joyous as she went a bit closer and welcomed him," I see you brought a friend with you, we are 4 anyway, so our party will be perfectly 6 with your addition."
'Truly a breathtaking beauty and deserving of the goddess title,' Yone's heart pounded, his mind hazy as he took in the girl before him, blue hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. Her long legs added to her striking presence, and though her armor tried to conceal her figure as best as possible, it fell short of concealing her chest.
Yoen shook those thoughts as he easily pushed them to the back of his mind. He was a grown man, and feeling attraction to women is normal; suppressing such thoughts is also ordinary at his age, then his eyes locked onto a specific figure.
