Chapter 190: The Special Shop (1)
The first thing that greeted Ryu Min upon waking up was none other than his younger brother.
“Hyung, you’re back! I was so worried!”
“No need to worry. This round just took a bit longer.”
In fact, this was nothing compared to what was to come.
There will be rounds that will take even longer in the future.
“You don’t have to wait up like this anymore. Who knows when I’ll wake up?”
“But how can I not worry…?”
“Just check if I’m breathing. If I am, then there’s no problem.”
“Got it.”
Even though he was worried, Ryu Won had no choice but to accept his brother’s words.Thud-
Ryu Min chuckled as he entered the room.
‘If he knew my true identity, he wouldn’t worry like that.’
Well, it’s natural for him to worry.
Right now, he was not the powerful Grim Reaper but a weak prophet.
‘Let’s take a look at the Special Shop.’
Lying on his bed, Ryu Min opened the shop window.
There, he saw a new button for the Special Shop.
Upon touching it, the screen transitioned to a new shop window.
Various types of equipment, from weapons to rings, were displayed.
These were items on a completely different level from the regular shop.
‘In the regular shop, you could get items ranging from Normal to, at best, Epic…’
The Special Shop was different.
‘The basic items are Epic, and if you have enough points, you can even buy Unique items.’
The difference was that you could only purchase them with points, not gold.
And the points required were enormous.
Just looking at the Unique Expert-level equipment, the purchase price was 100,000 points.
‘Most players would be done after buying just one Unique item.’
Still, being able to buy equipment that could only be obtained through combinations was significant.
And it wasn’t just equipment.
The Special Shop also sold combination materials.
Although there were no God-tier materials.
‘But they’re still Legendary materials. Anyone can make them if they know the combination formula.’
The only issue was the points.
Each material costs 100,000 points.
To make one Legendary item, you’d need at least 500,000 points.
‘One material costs as much as a Unique item. No one would dare to buy it.’
Most people would find it odd why the materials were so expensive.
But once they realized they were Legendary materials, their views would change.
‘It’s not just materials. The Special Shop has potions, consumables, even experience packs. It has everything.’
The experience packs were particularly noteworthy.
These items instantly increased your experience points upon purchase, with no limit on the points you could buy.
‘Think of it as converting points into experience.’
If Ryu Min wanted, he could use these experience packs to reach level 99.
Although it would cost a hefty 5 million points, he’d still have 15 million points left.
He could max out his level immediately.
But Ryu Min had no intention of doing that.
‘There’s no need for it.’
Ryu Min was already powerful enough to render level 99 trivial.
Thanks to the stats gained from the Demon’s Blessing, his base stats alone exceeded a thousand.
With various buffs, he’d easily surpass ten thousand.
‘There’s no need to draw attention by hastily reaching max level.’
It’s better to save it for a contingency.
When reaching level 99, all health is restored, and a temporary invincibility effect is granted.
‘To use that effect, I’ll save reaching max level for when it’s truly needed.’
The time will come.
When he needs the invincibility effect that comes with max level.
Until then, he’d intentionally hold back.
‘It’s the same for other players. It’s best to save points like I am rather than buying items.’
Of course, it’s understandable to want to spend points now that the Special Shop is open as no more points can be earned.
But there’s something the angels didn’t mention.
‘Points can also be traded.’
Using the trading function, points can be given to others.
If you could trade points, which are classified as a higher currency than gold and are now in short supply?
‘The price would skyrocket.’
That’s why he said they shouldn’t spend the points.
If you save them, their value will rise on their own like Bitcoin.
Of course, someone with more points than they could ever spend, like Ryu Min, didn’t need to worry about that.
‘First, let’s make some Legendary equipment.’
Ryu Min bought the Legendary materials from the Special Shop and immediately started combining items.

[Combination successful!]
[You’ve created ‘Ring of Super Resistance’.]
[Ring of Super Resistance]
– Type: Ring
– Grade: Legendary
– Effect: Luck +100, Resistance +40%
– Durability: 10,000/10,000
– Use Restriction: Master level or higher
– Description: A ring with incredible resistance to status ailments.
Ryu Min created Legendary-grade shoes, a necklace, and a ring.
He made an identical Ring of Super Resistance.
He could wear two thanks to the Expansion Rune.
‘All of this only cost 2 million points in materials.’
A price unimaginable for most players, but a mere pittance for Ryu Min.
‘Now, let’s make a God-grade item.’
He already had all the materials prepared.
He just needed to combine them.
[Main Material]
– High-quality leather gloves
[Sub-materials]
– Condensed Ether
– Black Iron Powder
– Bubbling Magic Solution
– Shiny Horse Tail
– New Material Leather
These were the materials needed to make the gloves.
When he pressed the combination button, the item was created.
[Combining a God-grade item.]
[It will be transformed into an item suitable for your current job.]
[Combination Successful!]
[You’ve created ‘Gloves of Thanatos’.]
[Gloves of Thanatos]
– Type: Gloves
– Grade: God
– Defense: 1,200
– Effect: All stats +50, Can use the skill ‘Hand of Death’
– Durability: 20,000/20,000
– Use Restriction: Master level or higher
– Description: Gloves made using the divinity of Thanatos, the god of death. Grants additional effects when part of a set.
– Thanatos’ Garb Set Effect (3/5)
– 2-piece effect: Resistance +20%
– 3-piece effect: Skill damage +10%
– 4-piece effect: ?????
– 5-piece effect: ?????
Creating the God-grade gloves activated the 3-piece set effect.
It was a useful effect that increased skill damage.
‘My initial goal was to secure three God-grade items before Round 15, and I already achieved it.’
Perhaps because he killed an archangel, it was much faster than planned.
With the Gloves of Thanatos equipped, he also gained a useful skill.
[Temporary Skill – Hand of Death]
– Effect: Use strong telekinesis to pull or push an opponent. Range is 30m. Opponents with higher rank can resist the telekinesis.
‘With this, I can pull down flying angels.’
The skill’s advantage was that it had no cooldown, allowing unlimited use.
However, it required extending his hand to use it, and opponents could resist based on their rank.
‘Now there’s only one thing left to do with my points.’
Reaching level 99.
But it wasn’t time yet.
‘I’ll reach level 99 when I need the invincibility effect.’
With that plan in mind, Ryu Min drifted off to sleep.
Only to be immediately awakened by a call from Jeffrey.
