Ding.
The System’s notification chime echoed as soon as I tapped the quest window.
And my vision was filled with System messages.

As expected of a Great Achievement Quest.
‘It never disappoints.’
I gasped in awe at the extensive list of rewards.
Sweet.
So sweet.
It was so sweet that I felt like my teeth were rotting.
‘But with rewards this generous, is there anything for Terra to adjust?’
As soon as I had that thought, Terra’s message appeared.
[As Master predicted, the rewards for this Great Achievement Quest cannot be adjusted.]
“Oh…”
That meant…
…the rewards were already maximized?
[Yes, that is correct. Due to Master’s significant contributions, the reward calculation has reached its maximum.]
I see.
I chuckled, pleased with Terra’s praise for my contributions.
I activated the hologram on my smartwatch and opened the memo pad.
And I listed the rewards I had received.
Combining the rewards from both the Main Quest and the Great Achievement Quest.
1,050,000 Points.
Rank A Talent Random Ticket x2, Rank A+ Talent Random Ticket x1.

Equipment Rank Up Ticket (Rank S- Exclusive) x1.
Rank Up Ticket (Rank A or lower) x1.
Random Cheat Ticket x7.
Cheat Selection Ticket x3.
Point Shop Gacha Feature Unlocked.
Wow, that’s a lot.
I couldn’t help but gasp in awe.
Just looking at the list of rewards on the hologram memo pad brought a smile to my face.
But that smile was fleeting.
“…So, which ticket should I use first?”
9 random tickets, 5 selection tickets, and 4 rank up tickets.
I crossed my arms and looked at the memo pad.
“Should I get what I had in mind first?”
Or should I use the random tickets and rank up tickets first?
After much deliberation…
“Just in case…”
…I decided to use the random tickets first.
I immediately retrieved the 9 random tickets from my inventory.
“First, the Talent Random Tickets.”
I used the two Rank A Talent Random Tickets.
Ding, ding.
The System’s notification chime echoed.
And two System messages appeared.
A magic eye that perceives the truth.
Can see through lies and illusions that conceal their true nature.
– Can distinguish truth from falsehood in another’s words.
– Can see the true nature of that which is not real.
– Spirit +20
An artisan’s touch is flexible and delicate.
– Increases item crafting success rate by 60%.
– Decreases item crafting failure rate by 40%.
– Increases item performance by 50%.
– Reduces item durability decrease by 40%.
– Increases item assembly and disassembly speed.
– Agility +15, Spirit +10
“Oh.”
A lie detector and dexterity.
“Not bad for a start.”
I chuckled and used the next random ticket.
This time, it was the Rank A+ Talent Random Ticket.
Ding.
The ultimate fire control of a mage who has reached the pinnacle of fire magic.
– Increases fire magic damage by 100%.
– Increases mana penetration by 50% when using fire magic.
– Reduces mana consumption by 50% when using fire magic.
– Increases fire-related skill damage by 70%.
– Reduces fire-related skill mana consumption by 40%.
– Increases fire-related weapon damage by 50%.
– Reduces fire damage taken by 50%.
– Increases fire resistance by 50.
– Mana +20, Spirit +10.
“Hmm…”
Perhaps I shouldn’t have said “not bad for a start.”
This talent was rather… underwhelming.
Still, it wasn’t completely useless.
Since my main weapons were firearms, the “Increases fire-related weapon damage” effect would apply.
…Of course, it wasn’t that useful considering the one-hit kill cheat, Speed Limit Removal.
So, I decided to think of it this way.
Fire resistance: Good.
“Now for the Rank S ticket.”
So… what would it be?
I used the Rank S Talent and Skill Random Ticket with anticipation.
Ding.
Manifests a mental image imprinted on the soul into the real world.
– Manifests a mental image world within a 10-kilometer radius.
[Currently Manifested Mental Image World: None]
[Manifestable Mental Image World: 1]
– Duration: 30 minutes.
– Cooldown: 1 week.
“Oh…! Mental Image Manifestation!”
Jackpot!
“Is this a gift for enduring the alternate world?”
Clap! Clap!
I clapped my hands in excitement.
Mental Image Manifestation was on my “must-have” wish list.
So, what was Mental Image Manifestation?
It was a skill that temporarily overlaid the real world with a space from my mind, my soul.
A space of my own, created by me, for me, similar to the alternate world Greed had trapped me in.
With this skill, even if I was trapped in an alternate world, a 10-kilometer radius around me would become my domain for 30 minutes.
“I should be able to instantly defeat the next Named Fallen.”
They wouldn’t anticipate that I had such a skill.
So, at least for the first encounter, I could instantly eliminate a Named Fallen.
I imagined the dumbfounded expression of a certain Named Fallen I would encounter in the future and used the next random tickets.
This time, it was the two Rank A Item Random Tickets.
And I received a “Gourmet’s Seasoning Box (A),” which replenished daily, and “Secret Guardian (A),” an item that protected a designated person.
“I don’t need the Seasoning Box, but I’ll keep it in my inventory just in case.”
And Secret Guardian… I should use it right away.
“I was planning on getting an item like this anyway. Perfect.”
I stored Secret Guardian in my inventory and duplicated it.
And I used the duplicated items, designating the people I wanted to protect.
The small angel figurines I had placed on the bed vanished in a flash of light.
They had been transported to the designated individuals.
“Now they’ll secretly follow them, as the item description says.”
And when danger arose, they would reveal themselves, protect the designated person, and send a signal to me.
“I feel a bit more at ease now.”
As the difficulty increased, so did my anxiety and concern for the main and supporting characters.
But now that I had these protective and alert items, my worries lessened somewhat.
I sighed in relief and used the remaining random tickets.
Rank A Equipment Random Ticket x1.
I received “Coiling Lightning (A).”
A spear wreathed in lightning, as the name suggested.
“Oh.”
I had been wondering what to do since the Rank B Equipment Selection Ticket had been replaced and now I had a weapon perfect for Im Da-hee.
“I’ll give it to Im Da-hee, as planned.”
But first…
“I’ll register it in Astra.”
Of course, since my main weapons were firearms, I wouldn’t use a spear often.
But the reason I registered weapons in Astra was…
“Gotta catch ‘em all… or rather, register ‘em all.”
It was a gamer’s instinct.
I could register items in Astra like a collection, so how could I resist?
I duplicated the spear in my inventory and inserted it into Astra, currently in its arrow form, which I had placed on my pillow.
Gulp.
Since it was Rank A, and not a minus rank, Astra swallowed the item without any resistance.
“I wonder if it will eat the Gourmet’s Seasoning Box and Secret Guardian as well?”
They were consumable items, not equipment, so I doubted they would be registered, but I tried anyway.
Spit, spit.
As expected, Astra spat out the items, as if saying it only accepted equipment.
“Seriously, you picky eater. Just eat the equipment.”
As if consumable items would harm it.
I shook my head and stored the two consumable items back in my inventory.
Then, I used the remaining random ticket, the Rank A+ Item Random Ticket.
And as the random ticket vanished in a flash of light…
…a woman appeared beside me… or rather, on my bed?
“…What’s this?”
A person, not an item?
I stared at the woman lying on my bed, bewildered.
Beautiful, rivaling even Lee Seo-yeon, with short silver hair.
And wearing a maid outfit for some reason.
I quickly scanned her appearance and reached out to wake her up…
…but then I realized that she had appeared because of the Item Random Ticket.
“…That means… she’s an item.”
As soon as I had that thought, I used System Appraisal on her.
Ding.
The System’s notification chime echoed, and information about the woman, now identified as an item, appeared.
A humanoid golem created with a top-tier core.
As if reflecting the creator’s personal preferences…
…she possesses a beautiful appearance and wears a maid outfit.
However, as expected of a creator who has dedicated their life to crafting battle golems, she is filled with lethal weapons.
“She really was an item.”
I muttered, and at that moment…
[Oh.]
…a small System message appeared and vanished.
I asked Terra if she had sent a message, but…
[No, I haven’t sent any messages.]
…she denied it.
“…Really? Then I must have been mistaken.”
Hmm… I don’t think so.
I was sure Terra had sent a message and then deleted it.
But since she denied it, I had no choice but to believe her.
I dismissed the nagging feeling and read the information about the “Battle Maid” item.
“…A top-tier core? That’s better than the ones used in the Iron Golems.”
The Iron Golems, created and modified by Winry, capable of easily defeating mid-high rank Fallen, had high-grade cores.
So, the fact that this beautiful maid, who looked like she couldn’t even kill a single monster, was a top-tier golem meant…
“She can even defeat High-Rank Fallen?”
I muttered, and Terra sent a message, confirming my assumption.
[Scan results indicate that, as the System message stated, the Maid Golem contains numerous lethal weapons. And her body and weapons are made of mithril, known for its high mana conductivity, and adamantium, renowned for its unparalleled hardness. Therefore, she can easily defeat High-Rank Fallen.]
What’s this?
Why did Terra sound so excited?
[It’s nothing. You’re imagining things.]
“…Really? Is this also my imagination?”
[Yes, it is.]
I had a hunch.
Terra…
…was excited about controlling the Maid Golem.
“Right?”
[…….]
No reply.
It seemed I was right.
Anyway…
…I would test the Battle Maid later.
I stored her in my inventory and used the last remaining random ticket, the Rank S- Item Random Ticket.
A branch of the World Tree, withered and devoid of life force after being neglected for a long time.
However, a faint trace of the World Tree’s origin still lingers within.
– When used in crafting, increases item effects by 100%.
(High chance of applying the “World Tree’s Hatred” effect.)
(World Tree’s Hatred: Destroys the item crafted with this material.)
– When used in alchemy, increases alchemy success rate by 60%.
(High chance of applying the “World Tree’s Sorrow” effect.)
(World Tree’s Sorrow: Malignant transformation of the alchemic product crafted with this material.)
“Oh, a material item.”
But a useless one.
“Ah… this is a dud.”
Increasing item effects by 100% when used in crafting was good.
And increasing alchemy success rate by 60% was also good.
But the drawbacks were so significant that it was practically unusable. A dud item.
“A ‘high chance’ means at least 70%, right?”
Even with the Infinite Items cheat, I couldn’t use a material item like this.
Of course, I could continuously combine duplicated items, but my alchemy talent was only Rank A.
The success rate of alchemy using a Rank S- material was incredibly low.
Roughly… 0.5%?
So, I had no intention of wasting my time on this cursed material.
‘I’ll give it to Midas later.’
With her Rank S alchemy talent, she could not only use it effectively, but also pay me handsomely for it.
I made a mental note and stored the cursed material, the World Tree branch, in my inventory.
“Now for the Rank Up Tickets.”
I retrieved the four Rank Up Tickets.
And I was about to use the lowest rank one first…
“Ah, right. I don’t have any Rank B equipment.”
The lowest rank ticket was an “Equipment Rank Up Ticket (Rank B or lower).”
“What should I do…?”
Should I buy some equipment?

I’m really hoping he’ll finally use some more cheat tickets. It’s pretty senseless to keep holding onto the random ones when he can’t control what he’ll get at all; it’s far better to use them ASAP and use whatever he gets to power up.
Maid terra soon.
