A Girl's Life in a Gaming World

Alex lazily opened her eyes and held the other end of the wooden staff. 

However, she was stunned when she saw a lot of new information on the staff.

....

[Chaos Staff] (100% Sealed)

* Level: 5 

* Soul Compatibility: 30%

* Quality: Low

* Rank: B

* Physical Damage: 8

* Magic Damage: 42

* Weapon Stats: +3 Intellect, +2 Wisdom 

* Skills: Staff's Weapon Proficiency {Sealed}, Fireball (Sealed), Ice Shard (Sealed)

{Unseal} Unlocks the soul armament's potential. 

{Devour} Randomly acquire one skill of the weapon.

"Huh?? What happened?" Ezekiel looks confused. He was just holding the other end of the wooden staff when he saw the changes that occurred on the stats. "What did you do?"

Alex shook her head, clueless about what had happened. "I don't know. I also saw the new stats added to the list as well as the {Unseal} option. I think I'll ask Lumiere about this first." She is too tired to figure out the use of the new stats. Of course, she could have let Ezekiel's A.I. explain it to them. But Alex thinks Lumiere is smarter at explaining things and simpler, so she pushes it all to her. 

There are times that Lumiere is programmed to let her figure things out and give out clues instead. But having clues is still better than thinking mindlessly with no direction. Besides, she likes figuring things out on her own. And it's no fun if Lumiere fed her with all this information all at once. It's just that she too tired right now.

Lumiere, who was flying right beside Alex, swiftly explained the new stats in the Chaos's Staff.

After Lumiere explained to her all the new information. Alex then shared the information with Ezekiel. Alex started off by telling him why the status panel changed when she held it. "Lumiere said that new pieces of information will appear occasionally when criteria are met. As for the criteria of unsealing the chaos staff is me being weaponless."

"While the {Devour} option's criteria is to have the same type of weapon. Your weapon is also staff so you can see {Devour}. You didn't know that did you?" Alex asked.

Ezekiel shook his head. "I only checked the item's stats after I separated with Akkar and his friends." 

"So according to Lumiere, the Chaos Staff is a sealed soul armament. Soul armaments are weapons and armors that are bounded to a soul and they can be found all over the world. But once a soul-bounded weapon or armor loses its master, it will get sealed until it finds a new master. But there are also soul armaments that can be looted from monsters. However, those aren't sealed since they don't have masters in the first place."

"Does that mean we can get new weapons??" 

Alex shook her head. "That is the reason why you only have the {Devour}. But maybe in the future, we will know what other criteria we need to unseal a soul armament. But armors are different because you can have countless soul bounded armors." Even though Lumiere did not give her an answer, Alex can guess that other players can unseal a sealed soul armament. One guy who she thought of who has a chance to unseal a soul armament is her father. He only has a shield right now, but what if he finds something that he can pair with his shield? 

"Moving on, soul compatibility determines how fast I can unseal the soul armament. Then quality and rank, determine how rare and how strong or weak the item is. Currently quality has four categories from low, normal, high to superior. As for how many ranks there are we will find out more in the future."

"How strong exactly??" Ezekiel asked, curious about how the quality and rank of the item affects the damage. 

"I'll give you a detailed explanation. There are lots of numbers here, so listen carefully. "I don't want to repeat the same thing; it's hurting my head. Understand??" Alex uttered while rubbing her forehead. 

Ezekiel wanted to stop her for now. They can still talk about it later anyway. "Should we..." 

Alex placed her finger in his pursed lips. "Shhh, look at the primary damage or magic damage of the Chaos staff it is 42 right?? Rank: B items have a minimum of 40 primary damage to a maximum of 149 based on its quality. Rank: B low-quality item's damage ranges from 40-59, Normal is from 60-79, high is from 80-99, and lastly superior is from 100- 149. As a comparison a Rank: A superior quality item's damage ranges from 20-39. As you can see there's a big difference in damage depending on the rank and quality. As for Rank: C's we will find out in the future." 

"As for the secondary damage or physical damage, it is 20% of the main damage. You can still use a sword, daggers, hammers to cast magics, but the damage will clearly be smaller compared to using a magic weapon and vice versa. 

Alex took a deep breath first then continued. "Then {Unseal} will just basically unlocks the item's sealed skills. But it takes time to unseal the item depending on the soul compatibility. So no need to think too much about it since only I, can use it for now."

Alex then continued to the last one to finish faster. "As for {Devour} you should already know about it right??" 

Ezekiel nodded since he already asked his A.I. earlier. "{Devour} destroys the item but I gain one skill. If I already have that skill then the level increases instead. In addition, my weapon's rank and quality have a chance to increase or decrease." With his luck, there is no way his weapon's rank and quality decrease. As long as he uses {Devour} when Alex is not around. 

Alex nodded. "Good." can help but wonder as she looks at the first skill she stole, whether she can increase her skills level faster or normal player's {Devour} is faster. "Looks like stealing other player's weapon isn't the only way I can obtain skills." 

[Great Ax's Weapon Proficiency]

Level: 1

*Increases user's damage when using a great ax by 0.1% 

*Each level increases the damage by 0.1%

*Experience required to Level up: 0/100

*Skill gains experience when a great ax is used

She doesn't know why her way of levelling up skills is different from normal players. But if players can easily loot soul armaments from monsters, then levelling up their skills will be a breeze depending on their luck. 

Even though the description says that she needed to kill monsters to level up her skills with the weapon mentioned. It is actually harder than she thought because the weapon that she needed to use was a soul armament. She managed to steal a great ax from the hobgoblins and killed a lot of them, but her skill did not gain a single experience.

Ezekiel let go of the staff after seeing Alex staring at it. "You want it?"
