Child of Destiny

...

After reviewing his performance from his previous match, Shin quickly organized all of the things that he got from Justin earlier.

Naturally, everything that Justin had was something that any player would wish to have. All of the equipment that he had was obviously at the top of the game.

Unfortunately, none of them were useful for Shin. He was a swordsman after, so heavy plate armors were not suitable for his class.

"Arthur's equipment is already the best, so these ones are not going to be useless for him too. It was the same for Leonard, that guy also prefers the hybrid combination of leather and light armors," muttered Shin as he was trying to think what he was going to do with the equipment set that he got from Justin.

"Should I just auction it off? I can get a large sum of gold from this," he added while frowning his eyebrows. But then, he quickly rejected the idea and decided to discuss it with the others. After all, they could also use these items to invest in the other members of the team, Owen in particular.

Given that the equipment set from Justin was pretty suitable to Owen's Class, it was natural for Shin to choose him for the set. And on top of that, he also got a pretty interesting item that could be paired with such a powerful set.

Shin took a sealed scroll from the inventory before inspecting it with the 'True Sight' ocular skill.

---------------------------

[Item Name]: The Fallen Commander's Last Order

Item Type: Miscellaneous

Item Rank: (???)

Details: A special seal that the Legendary Knight and Army Commander had failed to accomplish.

-Use this scroll to enter a special dungeon that could convert one's Class and Race.

Historical Note:

After winning the battle against the Demon Army during the Repelling Era, the great general went back to his hometown to celebrate the overall victory of the residents of the Atlas World.

But little did they know, one of the Demon Armies that managed to survive the war had already wreaked havoc on his hometown and slaughtered all of the residents living in that place.

Enraged, the great general led his army to hunt those demons down and slaughtered all of them one after another.

But despite their victory, the general still failed to kill the Great Demon that led the Demon Army during that time.

Due to that, the great general was left regretful up until the day he died. But before he took his final breath, he left his legacy behind, hoping that his descendants would be able to fulfill his dying wish.

---------------------------

Shin skimmed through the details of the scroll before muttering to himself. "So, I also get his special race and hidden class too. I bet this is also a Transcendent Race given that he is on the top of Godlike Ranking List."

After that, he quickly opened his friend list and immediately contacted both Arthur and Leonard to ask their opinions. And after a brief moment of discussion, the three came up with a decision to let Owen have the scroll alongside the equipment that Shin got from Justin.

As for the other rare materials that he got, Shin just organized it a little before putting all of them in his personal storage within the Mayor's Residence. They were going to be quite useful in the future, so he would like to save them until then.

Meanwhile, the quests that Shin got were not that many, there were only 3 of them to be exact. Two of those quests were something that Shin could do on his own since he only needed to clear some dungeons to be cleared.

Shin was suspecting that Justin already transferred all of the important quests that he had to the other members of his group. But at the same time, he also thought that the latter might not be the primary initiator of those quests, which was why they were not transferred to Shin.

Fortunately, the third quest was something really special. Shin didn't know much about the quest since he was required to meet a certain NPC to see all of its details. But since the quest was set in Chaos Difficulty and also had an Empire Quest Rank, it was pretty obvious that this particular quest was going to be very troublesome to deal with.

"Looks like I am going to be busy for quite some time inside the game," muttered Shin to himself after scanning his eyes on those quests.

"But before that, we need to deal with Arthur's quest first before that guy throws a fit about not giving him any priority," he added with a bitter smile.

After that, he set his eyes on the two particular items that really caught his interest since the time he got them earlier.

The first one was a spherical item that was radiating with alternating evil and sacred aura while the other item was a black book that seemed to have a familiar pattern on its cover.

Seeing the black book, a sudden thought immediately entered Shin's mind. "Eh!? Could it be!?"

He then quickly took out the Ancient God Book that he got from Rhaba before. He compared the two books for a moment before being convinced that the two of them were really similar.

After that, Shin quickly activated his 'True Sight' ocular skill to see the details of the book.

--------------------------

[Item Name]: Revelation Book – IV

Item Type: Miscellaneous

Item Rank: (???)

Details:

A mysterious book that possessed an unfathomable power that came from ancient times.

You could sacrifice a part of your life force (Permanently losing VIT) to awaken its sleeping powers.

Note 1: Unlock the Entry Level Ancient Powers to learn more about this item.

Note 2: Sacrifice for unlocking the Ancient Powers.

100 VIT – Entry level

250 VIT – Intermediate Level

500 VIT – Advance level

1000 VIT – Master level

Note 3: This item would certainly drop when the possessor died. And once it dropped, the 'Sacrifices' that was cast on this item would immediately erase, reverting its powers in its initial state.

Note 4: This item couldn't be traded.

--------------------------

When Shin saw that the book turned out to be the thing that he was thinking, the emotion on his face immediately became weird as he didn't know how he was going to feel. "D*mn it! They are indeed the same."

It was a good thing that he found another volume of the Ancient God Books, but it was more of a burden for him right now since he couldn't benefit from it due to the so-called consequences that he would suffer once he tried to take advantage of them.

Based on what Hanzo had said to him, some of the Gods within the game would take notice of him the moment he used the powers of these books. And when that happened, he was going to be an 'international wanted criminal', where practically everyone was going to chase after him.

(First mentioned in Chapter 174)

Shin also tried to ask some clues about these books from Solus. After all, she was one of the so-called Gods of the game. Even though she was only the servant of the Sun God, she was still a powerful being during her peak – a god was still a god nevertheless.

Unfortunately, the fallen god told him that he was still too weak to know anything about the Great Ancient Era War. She also said that he needed to at least reach Tier 4 if really wanted to know about it.

– "That way, you at least have the means to protect yourself once those insecure Gods take notice of you." –  Those were the exact words that Shin got from Solus.

Given that, he could only play as an 'antique collector' and looked for these ancient relics.

Shin then lost all of the excitement that he had earlier after seeing the item. But fortunately, the other item was something that he could use.

--------------------------

[Item Name]: Chaos Stone

Item Type: Miscellaneous

Item Rank: Special (???)

Details:

A mysterious stone that possessed both the powers of Evil Beings and Sacred Creatures.

Even the Great Demons and Gods took interest in this mysterious stone that formed on the plane between Heaven and Hell.

-Crushed this item to unleash the powers that it held. And after being unleashed, the energy contained in this stone would head to the nearest player within the area before fusing with them.

Note: Using this item had some risks in it. If the user failed to control the powers that this mysterious stone contained, then their bodies would be damaged permanently. (Suffered a permanent decrease on personal stats)

--------------------------

Reading the details of the item, Shin immediately realized where Justin got his evil powers. "So, this is where that power comes from. His class is supposedly not compatible with those evil powers given the historical details that it had."

Shin stared at the Chaos Stone on his hand for a couple of moments, seemingly deciding what he was going to do with it.

But not long after, he suddenly started laughing to himself before saying. "What am I hesitating for? Is there really a need to think about it?"

He then crushed the Chaos Stone, unleashing the mysterious powers that it had.
