Episode 190
190. Special shop
The first person to greet Ryu Min when he woke up was none other than his younger brother.
“Brother, you’re back! “I was worried!”
“There’s nothing to worry about. “This round just took a little longer.”
Actually, this is a bit overkill.
There will also be rounds that take longer in the future.
“Now there is no need to wait like this with open eyes. “I don’t know when I’ll wake up.”
“Still, what should I do if I’m worried…” … .”
“Just make sure you’re breathing. “So that means there’s no problem.”
“okay.”
I was worried, but when my brother said that, Ryu Won had no choice but to let it go.
widely-
Ryumin entered the room and smiled.
‘If you knew my identity, you wouldn’t have to worry about that.’
Well, it’s natural to be worried.
Because he was not a black scythe now, but a weak prophet.
‘Then, shall we take a look at the special store?’
Ryumin, lying on the bed, opened the store window.
Then I saw a special shop button that wasn’t there before.
When you touch it, it moves to a new store window.
You can see various types of equipment, from weapons to rings.
These items are on a different level from regular stores.
‘At regular stores, you could only get from Normal to Epic… … .’
Special stores are different.
‘The basics are epic, and if it’s expensive, you can also buy unique.’
The difference is that you can only buy it with points, not gold.
The fact that it costs a huge amount of points is a bonus.
Just looking at the expert level unique equipment you see now, the purchase price is as much as 100,000 points.
‘For most players, just buy one unique and that’s it.’
Still, where can you buy equipment that can only be obtained through combination?
Is it just equipment?
Special shops also sell combination ingredients.
Although there are no God grade ingredients.
‘Still, they are legendary ingredients. Anyone can make it if they know the combination.’
However, the point is annoying.
One material costs 100,000 points.
To create one legendary item, you need to spend at least 500,000 points.
‘One material costs the price of unique equipment. ‘I can’t even think about living.’
Most people probably wonder what kind of material is so expensive.
However, if you find out that it is a legendary ingredient, your eyes will change.
‘It’s not just the ingredients. Various potions, belongings, and even experience packs. ‘This is a special store that has everything.’
What is especially noteworthy is the experience pack.
This is an item that immediately increases your experience level upon purchase. You can purchase it with as many points as you want.
‘It’s simple if you think of it as replacing points with experience points.’
If Ryumin wants to, he can reach level 99 with this experience pack.
Instead, it will cost a large sum of 5 million points, but even then, 15 million will remain.
This means that you can reach max level right away.
But Ryumin had no intention of doing so.
‘Because there’s no need for that.’
Ryumin has already become strong enough to go away at level 99.
Thanks to the stats obtained through the devil’s blessing, the basic stats alone exceed 1,000 units.
If you get all kinds of buffs, you’ll just laugh it off.
‘In such a situation, there is no need to hastily reach max level and attract attention.’
Rather, it is better not to take pictures just in case.
When you reach level 99, all your stamina is restored and you gain temporary invincibility.
‘In order to take advantage of that effect, I postpone reaching max level as much as possible.’
Someday the time will come.
There are times when you need invincibility, which is the effect of reaching max level.
Until then, I decided not to take pictures, even if it was on purpose.
‘Same goes for other players. ‘Rather than purchasing items, it’s best to delay using your points like I did.’
Of course, a special shop has opened and you can no longer collect points anyway, so I understand the desire to spend them.
But there is something the angel did not say.
‘Points can also be traded.’
Points can also be given to others using the transaction function.
What if you could trade points, which are in short supply and are classified as a higher currency than gold?
‘It’s probably worth the price.’
Here is the reason not to use points.
If you leave it alone, its value will rise on its own like Bitcoin.
Of course, there is no need for Ryumin, who has enough money to last a lifetime.
‘Shall we make legendary equipment first?’
Ryumin bought legendary ingredients at the special store and immediately combined the items.
[Combination successful!]
[I created ‘Shadow of Death Boots’.]

[Combination successful!]
[I created the ‘Devil’s Pendant’.]
[Devil’s Pendant]

[Combination successful!]
[I created the ‘Ring of Super Resistance’.]
[Combination successful!]
[I created the ‘Ring of Super Resistance’.]
[Ring of Ultra Resistance]
– Category: Ring
-Grade: Legendary
-Effect: Luck +100, Resistance +40%
-Durability: 10,000/10,000
– Restrictions on use: Master level or higher
-Description: A ring with incredible resistance to status ailments.
Made legendary grade shoes, necklaces, and rings.
As for the Ring of Super Resistance, I made another identical one.
Because I was able to wear two expansion runes.
‘Even if I did everything, it only cost me 2 million points.’
It’s a price that an average player can’t even dream of, but it didn’t bother Ryumin.
‘Shall we create a god grade this time?’
All the ingredients are already prepared.
All you have to do is combine it.
[Main ingredients]
-Good quality leather gloves
[Supplementary ingredients]
-Condensed Ether
-Black iron powder
-Bubbling magic solution
-Glossy horsetail
-New material leather
It was a necessary material for making gloves.
When you press the combination button, an item is created.
[Combining God grade items.]
[It will be converted to an item suitable for your current job.]
[Combination successful!]
[I made ‘Thanatos’ Gloves’.]
[Thanatos’ Gloves]
-Category: Gloves
-Grade: God
-Defense: 1,200
-Effect: All stats +50, skill ‘Death Grip’ can be used.
-Durability: 20,000/20,000
– Restrictions on use: Master level or higher
-Description: Gloves made using the divinity of Thanatos, the god of death. Additional effects are granted when wearing a set item.
-Thanatos’ clothing set effect (3/5)
-2 set effect: Resistance +20%
-3 set effect: Skill damage +10%
-4 set effect: ?????
-5 set effect: ?????
When I made god-grade gloves, the 3-set effect came into effect.
It was a good effect to increase skill damage.
‘My goal was to secure 3 God ranks before the 15th round, and I finally achieved it.’
Perhaps because he killed the Archangel, it was much faster than planned.
By wearing Thanatos’ gloves, I gained useful skills.
[Temporary Skill – Death’s Grip]
-Effect: Can pull or push the opponent with strong telekinesis. The range is 30m. If the opponent’s level is high, they may be able to resist telekinesis.
‘With this, you can bring down even a flying angel.’
Since it is a skill with no cooldown, the advantage is that you can use it to your heart’s content.
It has the disadvantage of having to reach out to be used and that it may be resistant depending on the opponent.
‘Now there is only one thing to do with the remaining points.’
Making level 99.
But it’s not time yet.
‘When you need the invincibility effect, then you have to make it level 99.’
So I went to sleep, promising to see it later.
I woke up right away because of Jeffrey’s phone call.
“What’s going on?”
-Hello, Ryumin. That’s because I have something to report to you.
Geoffrey received orders from Yamti.
Serve Ryumin like your master and be the first to report if anything happens.
This is why he treats Ryumin with courtesy.
“Okay, try it.”
– Soon, Christine will go to Korea to meet Ryu Min.
“me? why?”
-He wants to know the location of the black scythe through the prophecy. It looks like he wants to meet his father in person and give thanks. He also wants to get clues about the necromancer.
Come to think of it, Christine had a crush on him.
He also showed a persistent attitude that he would follow me from the other world.
‘Are you really trying to meet me just to give me a reward? ‘Isn’t there another plan?’
I don’t know why Seo A-rin and Christine want to meet the black scythe of reality so much.
Even if we meet, nothing will change.
“I get it. Stop hanging up. “It’s not good for you to be caught talking to me.”
-yes. Well then… … .
When the call ended, Ryumin closed his eyes again.
Honestly, it was a problem that I didn’t have to worry about.
‘You want to meet the black scythe of reality? That won’t happen. In the future too.’
If you want to turn someone into an ally, it is much more profitable to leave them in debt than to meet them and receive something in return.
If you leave a feeling of sorry, you will be able to receive help at any time.
‘I’m going to tell you that I don’t know about the black scythe. The same goes for necromancers.’
You have to use this guy yourself in the 12th round.
I can’t hand over information to Christine.
‘Furthermore, an organization called Messiah will soon be created, and there is a high possibility that its members will include necromancers.’
In order to create a link with the United Nations Organization Messiah, it is necessary to keep the necromancer alive.
This is a problem that can be solved by accusing them of not knowing anything about black scythes and necromanticism.
They say they couldn’t see the future, so what can they do?
Anyway, the leash is held by the prophet Ryumin.
‘Instead, I should give you 12 rounds of information.’
If you do just that, Christine will go home satisfied.
As I was thinking that, my cell phone vibrated.
I looked at the caller and saw that it was Ma Gyeong-rok’s phone.
“Yes, CEO. Oh yeah. All right. “We’ll see then.”
The message was that I wanted to meet with Christine because I had something to say.
It’s as expected.
However, Ryu Min’s expression after hanging up the phone did not look good.
‘I didn’t sleep well.’
Before I knew it, all my sleep had run away.
* * *
It’s been 12 hours since he returned from the other world, but John Delgado hasn’t gotten out of bed.
No, it couldn’t happen.
This was because the memories of being in another world where my arms and legs were cut off remained vivid.
‘What about my arms and legs? ‘Is it attached well?’
When I lie down and move my hands and feet, they move just fine.
Still, I don’t have the courage to get up.
It’s so awkward that it doesn’t feel real.
The limbs are fully attached.
Still, I can’t lie down forever, so I manage to get up.
“Ugh… … .”
There was no pain, but it felt like pain.
I walked slowly as if I was undergoing rehabilitation treatment.
As I walk through the living room, I think about the person who made me like this.
‘Black scythe.’
He is caught up in the urge to kill him.
But John Delgado was a reasonable man.
I know very well that I cannot kill him on my own.
In this situation, revenge is just a luxury.
‘What is revenge? I guess I’ll be satisfied with the end here.’
Although he could not kill the saint, he achieved his goal by killing his followers.
Now that the competing forces have been defeated, all that remains is to further grow the Church of Despair.
‘If we increase our power, opportunities may arise. 그 개새끼의 면상을 갈기갈기 찢을 기회가.’
As John was thinking that, he suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly.
A little while ago, I said revenge was a luxury, but I’m still thinking about this.
‘Whoa…’ … Even if I get angry, I have to give up. ‘Is there anything special?’
It was then.
Ding dong-
When I heard the doorbell, I opened the door to see if a package had arrived.
But isn’t there a man standing there wearing a suit and sunglasses?
“Who?”
“Are you necromancer John Delgado?”
John put the equipment on in an instant.
“Who are you? “How did you know about my house?”
When I point my cane at him with a murderous look in my eyes, the other person raises his hand as if to calm down.
“Whoa, I’m not here to fight.”
“Then what are you here for?”
“I just came to give you a business card.”
The man really just took out a business card from his arms.
When I received it, the group name and nickname were written on it.
“Messiah affiliation? Spaniard?”
“Our newly established international organization, Messiah, is looking for people who are suitable for the 12 Apostles.”
“12 apostles?”
“It is an executive position made up of rankers who have reached the top positions in each country. That’s why I came here to recruit John Delgado, who can be said to be the best in the United States.”
“So, I will give you an executive position in an organization called Messiah and ask you to join?”
“Exactly. “Are you interested?”
John Delgado, who seemed to be pondering Spaniard’s words for a moment, opened his mouth.
“Let’s all leave and ask this one question.”
“Please speak.”
“Is Black Scythe going to take the place of the 12 apostles?”
Spaniard shook his head sadly.
“no.”
“Why? “If it were Korea’s Black Scythe, it would be the number one recruit, right?”
“That’s it… … .”
Spaniard, who had been pausing, spoke in a quiet voice.
“In the first place, we, Messiah, were an organization created to fight against the Black Scythe.”
“On the black scythe?”
When John looked surprised, Spaniard explained further.
“As you know, John, the Black Scythe is level 90 and is in a unique position. “At best, we are level 50 and have no choice but to be dragged around by him.”
“Are you planning to create a means to fight back?”
“you’re right. Just as workers form labor unions to fight against the company’s unfair abuse of power, we too must join forces. “Can’t we just let the black scythe grow like this without knowing whether it’s friend or foe?”
As John nodded in agreement, Spaniard had a hunch.
It’s almost over.
“how is it? Would you like to join our Messiah?”
“Do you want to join?”
For John, who was gritting his teeth, it was a no-brainer proposition.
“Of course I should, f*ck.”
