Chapter 149 - Heavy Evil Eye! New Equipment Set!
-----
[Heavy Evil Eye Skill Book]
A Skill that teaches the ways of unlocking the power within your eyes, giving the user that learns this Book the ability to generate a gravitational pull with its eyes at the cost of Mana.
"It really is just that… Okay then," sighed Frank, he still couldn't believe that he could get such a useful Skill, although he already knew that the monsters that he defeated from Hunting Domains sometimes dropped Skill Books that were their original Skills or Abilities.
In a way, Frank felt like he was a certain Goblin with the ability to get Skills from the monsters that he ate, but instead of eating he just could get them through Skills…
It was already very abnormal for a former normal human to be able to generate poison and spiderwebs, so he simply realized that it was already very weird and that getting weirder would not hurt at this point.
Frank decided to quickly learn the Skill on a heartbeat, as he wanted to put it to good use from the get-go if possible and level it up a bit while hunting more monsters in the hours to come.
The book quickly turned into particles of light, fusing with his body, and suddenly giving his eyes a sharp pain!
"Agh!"
Frank grabbed his eyes as he tried to heal them through Gift of Death, but the pain was not subsiding, and it even began to burn!
Frank gnashed his teeth as he struggled to get himself together until the pain finally dissipated, the two Gods were calling to him with a bit of concern, but Frank waved his hand telling them that he was fine.
Ding!
[You learned the [Heavy Evil Eye: Level 1] Skill!]
[Heavy Evil Eye: Level 1/10]
Hit a target with a strong gravitational pull, the area that it can cover is limited by one-meter width around the designed target, the power of the gravitational pull is based on the Magic Stat and the Skill level.
This Skill consumes a large quantity of mana and can only be activated for ten seconds, afterwards, the effect of the gravitational pull will be deactivated, and it will be needed to be reactivated.
"I guess you can't maintain this for too long, is that why the Chimera didn't simply use it endlessly to suppress me? I guess it might not be as overpowered, but it is indeed quite useful… Now I finally fill the trope of an edgy character, I even got my own Evil Eye," sighed Frank.
"Now… let's check these items…"
Frank used Inspect in the other various items dropped by the Chimera, such as the Runes.
[Strength Rune (C-Grade)] (Red Colored)
Use this Rune in any equipment with an available Rune Socket to increase the equipment Strength Bonus by +20.
After its use, the Rune will disappear and even if the socket is freed, the Rune in the item will be destroyed.
[HP Rune (C-Grade)] (Yellow Colored)
Use this Rune in any equipment with an available Rune Socket to increase the equipment HP Bonus by +40.
After its use, the Rune will disappear and even if the socket is freed, the Rune in the item will be destroyed.
"These Runes might come in handy, especially because I might use them in this new set of armor, I was really looking for an upgrade, the Farmer Clothes are getting outdated, but nothing in the Dungeon List of items was good enough, as the Dungeon is still Rank 1 after all…" thought Frank.
Although Frank had the exoskeleton of the Giant Scorpion King, he had used a large chunk in making Nezhit's armor, and he was still planning on making his own, which was delayed as he had begun to think in making some for Asterion, Cathyl, and Zero.
"Let's check these equipment Stats…" said Frank, using Inspect in the three pieces of equipment.

"Oh damn, that's a big jump from my farmer clothes… Does it even come with an armor set bonus? Each thing comes with a Skill too, and the whole bonus comes with yet another Skill… I am guessing that I am not upgrading this one any time soon until I get to see any B-Grade Armor," thought Frank, grabbing the Runes, and deciding to put them on the Chest Armor which had the highest stats, most likely the one he would be using the most.

"Damn, now it's packed. …I think I got another Rune in my Inventory which I have completely forgotten since I got it… Here!"
[Physical Damage Resistance Skill Rune (C-Grade)]
Use this Rune in any equipment with an available Rune Socket to grant the [Physical Damage Resistance: Level 1] Skill Bonus.
After its use, the Rune will disappear and even if the socket is freed, the Rune in the item will be destroyed.
"Yep, this one… I think I got it from the Ogre we defeated in the shrine in japan… Just before the Oni appeared and we almost died with Matsuo… I don't like to remember that…" sighed Frank, as he used the Rune in the Shoulder Armor.
Frank quickly equipped his new set of armor, feeling a rush of power surge through his body!
His stats increased quite a lot, and it seemed like a true boost on his battle capabilities!
"Now what will I do with this Farmer leftovers? Well, I still am equipped with the straw hat and the gloves… I guess I can just save them- Wait…"
Ding!
[Do you wish to sell the equipment [Farmer Shirt], [Farmer Jeans], and [Farmer Boots] for 300 App Points?]
[>YES NO]
"So I can even sell items now… Maybe only a few ones or those that give stats can be sold… But still! 100 per every set?! Really?! For this trash item? Then what about this chest armor?!" asked Frank in surprise.
Ding!
[Do you wish to sell the equipment [Three Headed Chimera Chest Armor] for 1000 App Points?]
[>YES NO]
"What?! 1000?! Maybe I should sell those little accessories I have for the bats for App Points? Wait, but I was saving them for Contribution Points in the clan… and then, I should gift them to my friends and Kamei… What a dilemma… No, I have to prioritize my allies beforehand, I guess," sighed Frank, waving away the System windows.
He walked slowly back to the Gods as they noticed a change in his strength, although it felt slightly for them.
"Oh, did you got a powerup?" asked Abraddon.
"I got some new equipment," said Frank.
"Amazing, that equipment that can give you such power is made out of nowhere… What a wondrous ability you have, Frank, it feels like you are a God in a lot of things except your mortal body," said Thineas.
"Haha… Well, I guess? I have considered many times just how crazy my power is, and it indeed is very stupid crazy… I will try to farm more items for the next hours. It seems that the Hunting Domain in the Divine Realm was a success," said Frank.
"It truly was, I am still quite surprised about monsters appearing in my Divine Realm. But they are not like the ones on the surface at all, as these ones appear instantly unlike the real monsters, and when they are killed, they are turned into black smoke, how wondrous," said Abraddon.
"That's right! They feel quite strange indeed. But it's nice that they do not contaminate or anything, and are also contained in their own space, so it's better for us," said Thineas.
"And better for me too, I can also grind EXP while training Skills on my sleep for double the efficiency," said Frank.
"Hm well, yeah…" muttered Abraddon.
"Frank, why don't you rest a bit? Doing this through your sleep might affect your mind, as you need to eventually rest normally…" said Thineas.
"Hm, well, since I became an Undead that my mind and soul are rather different. Sleeping does not really feel as necessary as before. But I guess I should not take too many hours into this, I will just grind for two more hours, I promise!" said Frank, running out and beginning to slay more monsters.
"He's very obsessed with gaining power, it's hard to convince him, sister," said Abraddon.
"I suppose…" sighed Thineas.
