Infinite Realm

(AN : Great deity just couldn't help it. I lost to my perverted side…There might be a few errors here, specifically punctuation errors. I used a little special app that kinda messed it up)

"Let's see how generous a Rare-Steel chest could be ."

Upon approaching the platform the magic shield automatically deactivated leaving behind the Rare-Steel chest. The chest was coated with a silver colour with strange images depicting ancient heroes and godly weapons carved on it. The surrounding mana naturally gathered towards it, leading to the 2 metre radius around the chest having a high mana density .

Mana is an essential component of the world. Without the existence of Mana, magic spells and incantations are nothing more than gibberish. Even the Ancient language which sounds a lot like crap and is normally used in high tier spells depends on Mana otherwise some might think of the Ancients as nothing more than 1 year old kids .

However mana also has the function of alleviating mental stress depending on its density. As such, a place with high mana density is always seen as a holy land for players since learning high-tier combat techniques and spells are easier there. In such places, casting high tier spells are usually easier since with the presence of a high mana density it becomes easier to channel the required mana and needed for such spells.

' If I wasn't in a hurry, I would have taken a break here but this place isn't so safe.' Moving closer to the chest, Sato clicked on the [Unlock] icon, with that a 1 minute timer appeared.

"I really need to get a subclass that can help me with this or I might as well buy unlocking scrolls."

Even though simple locks don't require a key or such, with an increase in the chest's rank the time taken to open such chests increase possibly reaching even two days. Even in chests of similar ranks the unlocking time could vary. However this can be curtailed with certain skills normally available in sub-classes like [Thief], [Fraudster] or even [Scribe].

" Fudo, the mana density here is quite high. Come sit over here. Your HP and MP recovery speed should be quite high."

1 minute later… (AN : In the voice of that Spongebob narrator..)

*Ding*

" Finally it's done. Let's see what we've got here." Opening the chest, Sato and Fudo were greeted by a bright silver-coloured light. (AN : Dunno whether there's such but I went ahead with it. Didn't wanna use a white light.) 3 seconds later the light dimmed the down finally letting them see its content.

" Haha we're rich. we're rich !" Looking into the chest and seeing a couple of silver coins, Fudo rejoiced.

"Take a chill pill first. Money is all that's in your head."

Sato began emptying the chest while appraising any equipment or material he saw.

"Silver Core, Thunder-wood, Black Dawn Steel, Limber steel. This sure is lavish. Every single one of these could sell for at least 10 silver coins."

Of the materials named Black Dawn Steel and Thunder-wood are both 3 star materials.

At this point in the game, 2 star materials are quite rare though with some luck at the right place and time, a player could easily get such. However, 3 star materials and above are of a different case. This is due to the fact that as from the 3 star mark and above, such materials are formed with the aid of mana and other arcane forces as such, they are quite rare. A good example is the 4 star material Void Silver, which can only be found and formed in spacial pockets and void spaces with the aid of a little bit of Nihility energy, Void energy or Void type mana. A simpler example would be the 3 star material Black Dawn Steel, which is formed when metal type and dark type mana flow through the 2 star Dawn Steel ore in a specific flow and ratio. As a result of the complex formation of this materials, they are quite expensive with some being rarer than Rhodium ( AN : One of Earth's rarest metals) and more expensive than diamond.

Gaining two such materials together with a couple other 2 star materials at this point in the game, is more than enough reason to celebrate. Apart from that, there was also a piece of cloth armor, plate armor, a magic staff, a skill book, 10 silver coins and a weird dark orb.

"The rewards are a lot, far more than that of a Mortal rank chest."

" How do you know that?"

" Earlier on, I found a Mortal rank chest." Sato replied nonchalantly.

"And you didn't tell me? Tch, and here I was thinking we were friends.So what did you get?"

"Two of that portion used earlier, the [Diluted Simple Berserk Potion], 3 silver coins and three 2 star materials. Compared to this it was all trash apart from the Berserk potion."

" And here I was thinking my title as the god of luck was stolen from me " Fudo grinned wide while chuckling.

"I thought you are the great Emperor pig. "

"Whad'ya say?"

"Nothing..."

Grabbing hold of the equipment, Sato appraised them and sent the details to Fudo.

(AN : Please note, [Willpower] * 1 = [Magical Defence] but [Magical Defence] / 1 [Willpower] Same with the others. Main attributes increase secondary attributes but not the other way around. So secondary attributes can increase irrespective of Main attributes.)

" A cheap accessory made by a master Scribe is this absurd and he's even disappointed at that?! I wonder what a real weapon would be like then." Fudo was shocked at the appraisal results and details of the equipment.

"After this we should go get our subclass. " Even Sato couldn't help getting shocked, deciding to get a sub-class when next he gets to a town.

" Hey, Sato. Did you get any loot from that monster?"

"Apart 30 copper coins, a spell book for mages, a little weird chain and the experience, nothing more. I will hand the spell book over to you later, together with 15 copper coins. you should be quite satisfied with what we've got already."

"Yeah yeah I know that."

After packing up the loot, Sato handed Fudo 6 silver and 50 copper coins together with the Black Alder staff, Light mage garb, the spell book and half of the materials sharing up the rewards from both the Mortal rank chest and Rare-Steel chest.

Looking at the last remaining [Diluted Simple Berserk Potion], Sato said " It's best I keep the potion. It has more use for a melee class than mage class."

"I wasn't going to argue with you there. What do you take me for? Plus I've gained more than you have."

"Alright, you said so yourself." Sato began packing up.

"What about that chain?" Fudo asked.

"Don't get your hopes high, greedy pig. It's not an accessory. Look." After which he sent him the appraisal result.

[[ Dedicated choker : Mortal Rank

A choker dedicated in the image of a deity.

Durability : 12 ]]

"Garbage. I don't want it."

"Wasn't going to give it to you."

"Come on, I can get it sold for at least 5 copper coins."

"Hmph, greedy pig."

"10 coins, that's my last."

"Let's get going. Pack up quickly."

"Tch."

Once they were done they both left the Courtyard and continued to explore the mansion .

…

Deep in the forest, a team of eight players were hurrying forward.

"Faded, how far are we from the mission site?" A middle-aged man with a deep voice that sounded more like the growl from a beast asked.

"A little bit, Captain. About 30 more minutes." Unlike the deep dull voice earlier, a pleasant voice like the chirping of a canary in Springtime coming from a young Caucasian lady who looked as beautiful like a snow in winter, unblemished with no flaws. Coupled with her ink black hair, one might find themselves lacking in her presence.

"Captain, you gotta chill. I doubt anyone is there right now." This time it was a young man who seemed easy going that spoke up.

" We wouldn't be in such a hurry if you had done your job properly and captured that assassin or at the very least finished him off." The beauty frowned.

Laughing awkwardly the young man retorted "You can't blame me. Who would have known that the kid was an expert? "

"Hmph."

"That's enough. Even if Manny killed him, there wouldn't be much of a difference. All we have to do now is to increase our pace as fast as possible before those Guild freaks make it."

"Yes Captain."

" Captain, we've got a problem. " One of the assassins in the party rushed forward and reported to the middle-aged man. "According to our informants in town, the guilds have been gone taking the mission with East crow Guild and a couple other third-tier guilds already making moves."

Frowning the middle-aged man said in the team chat "Everyone speed up. Call the others and order them to slow those guilds down as much as possible.. This mission belongs to us, Sinland and no one else."
