I had crafting materials in my inventory, but…
[Dragon Eye][9999+]
[Dragon Bone][9999+]
[Dragon Tendon][9999+]
[Dragon Hide][9999+]
[Dragon Blood][9999+]
[Dragon…]
[…….]
[….]
…those materials happened to be byproducts of the dragon, formerly known as Greed.
And the only crafting specialists I knew were the High-Rank Crafting Instructor and the Top-Rank Vice-principal.
If I gave them the dragon byproducts, they would create at least Rank A equipment, not Rank B.
“…How many points do I have?”
I looked at the top of the Point Shop.
[1,870,000]
Quite a lot.
But still not enough.
With this many points, I could only buy the cheapest Rank S item.
“Should I just buy equipment with cash?”
I had earned quite a bit of money from the royalties of the healing potion, so I could afford to buy equipment… Wait a minute.
“…The Point Shop Gacha has been unlocked, hasn’t it?”
I should check it out.
I immediately tapped the flashy banner that had appeared on the right side of the Point Shop: “(Congrats) Point Shop Gacha Unlocked! (Congrats).”
Ding.
[Unlocking Bonus!]
[To celebrate the first use of the Gacha feature, the Gacha rates will be increased for the next hour!]
Increased rates? By how much?
[Click here to check the rates!]
I immediately clicked the link.
Rank D: 45%
Rank C: 40%
Rank B: 10%
Rank A: 4%
Rank S: 1%
“…These are the increased rates?”
How low were the usual rates?
I chuckled and checked the Gacha price.
[1x: 30,000 Points]
“?”
What?
Did I see that correctly?
“30,000 Points?”
Seriously?
Not 10,000 Points?
“Hey, Terra.”
[Yes, Master.]
“Why is the Gacha price like this?”
[I’m not sure.]
“Isn’t this price telling me not to use the Gacha?”
[Yes, I believe so.]
“Right?”
At Terra’s confirmation, I chuckled and closed the Gacha Shop.
“Forget the Gacha.”
I’ll just buy equipment from the Equipment Department Store with cash.
I stored the two Equipment Rank Up Tickets (Rank B or lower) in my inventory.
Now I had two Rank Up Tickets left.
Rank Up Ticket (Rank A or lower).
Equipment Rank Up Ticket (Rank S- Exclusive).
Both for similar ranks.
Still, if I had to choose the slightly lower one…
[Rank Up Ticket (Rank A or lower) used.]
[Strong Will (A) evolves into Indomitable Will (S)!]
One who overcomes hardships and trials develops an unyielding spirit.
– Resistance to mental interference of Rank S or higher.
– Nullification of mental interference of Rank A or lower.
– Automatically activates the ‘Overcome’ passive under certain conditions.
– Spirit +50.
Passive ability of the talent ‘Indomitable Will (S).’
Automatically activates when mental issues arise.
– Mental Recovery (Removes damage dealt to mental strength).
– Mental Maintenance (Nullifies mental damage for a certain period).
– Duration: 1 hour.
– Cooldown: 12 hours.
[I can do this all day.]
[- A soldier with indomitable will -]
“This should ease the Chairman’s worries.”
Resistance to mental interference of Rank S or higher.
With this effect alone, I could resist the mental attacks of Apostles and Outer Gods.
And since mental interference of Rank A or lower was nullified…
…I was now immune to all mental attacks except for those from Apostles and Outer Gods.
Hum, hum.
I nodded in satisfaction and looked at the last remaining ticket, the “Equipment Rank Up Ticket (Rank S- Exclusive).”
And I pondered.
The only Rank S- items I currently possessed were Aegis and the Broken Spear of Courage.
Of course, I also had the Rank S- Equipment Selection Ticket, effectively making it three.
But I set that aside, as I intended to choose a wide-area defensive item.
“Ah, then Aegis is out of the question as well.”
Rank S items had a “Bound” attribute.
And bound items, while storable in the inventory, weren’t affected by Infinite Items.
And I still needed to use, or rather, consume, defensive items.
I needed [9999+] Aegis shields, not just [1].
“Then there’s only one option left.”
I needed an ultimate item for each category anyway.
[Equipment Rank Up Ticket (Rank S- Exclusive) used.]
[Broken Spear of Courage (S-) transforms into Spear that Sings of Courage (S)!]
A spear wielded by the Angel of Courage.
Its mere presence instills courage in the righteous and fear in the wicked.

「Increases all stats by 50%, health and mana regeneration by 50%, and additional damage by 20%.」

「Applies ‘Angel’s Blessing’ to allies within the Sacred Ground.」

「Applies ‘Angel’s Wrath’ to enemies within the Sacred Ground.」
(Decreases all stats by 50%, health and mana regeneration by 50%, and blocks demonic energy regeneration.)
– Enables the ‘Angel Summon’ skill.

– Indestructible.

[Restrictions are lifted as rank increases.]
– Courage to you all.

“Wow…”
As expected of a Rank S equipment.
Even with some of its effects restricted, it was incredible.
I reached into my inventory and retrieved the spear, now restored to its glorious, ornate form…
Crash!
…and immediately put it back.
“……”
My room was instantly in shambles.
Just a brief, very brief, pulse of energy from the spear…
“…I’ll check the spear at the training grounds later.”
I sighed and retrieved the selection tickets.
And to obtain the equipment I had been thinking about when using the Rank Up Ticket…
…I used the Rank S- Equipment Selection Ticket.
Flash.
The selection ticket vanished in a flash of light. And a worn, circular shield, covered in dust, appeared in mid-air.
“Oops, not on the bed.”
I activated my inventory just before the dusty shield landed on the bed. The shield vanished inside.
Of course, since I had a cleansing spell installed in my room, it wouldn’t have mattered if the dust had landed on the bed.
Whether my room was a mess or my bed was dirty, everything would be restored to its original state in the morning.
But still… for the sake of my own peace of mind…
…I didn’t want the shield to land on the bed.
“…I’ll keep it in my inventory until I’m done claiming the rewards.”
I got off the bed and stored it in my inventory.
“Now I’m safe.”
I sat down on the floor where the bed had been.
And I checked the information of the circular shield, now inside my inventory.
A shield of a Guardian who sacrificed their life to protect others.
Its brilliance has faded over time, but the will residing within is still filled with the resolve to protect others.
– Absorbs damage taken by allies within a 100-meter radius (Destroyed when absorption gauge is full).
– Applies the ‘Guardian’s Will’ buff to allies within a 100-meter radius.
(Reduces damage taken by allies by 30% and increases health regeneration speed by 50%.)
– Health +30, Spirit +20
“Nice.”
A 100-meter radius.
It seemed insignificant, but it was a vast area.
Especially for me, who could retrieve an infinite number of items with the cheat.
“Now I can use bombs even when there are people nearby.”
It had been so frustrating only being able to use firearms.
I smiled, imagining using Aegis and Resolve of the Guardian together.
Then, I used the two Rank A Equipment Selection Tickets.
Inferno (A).
A multiple grenade launcher.
It wasn’t that the minigun lacked firepower.
But it lacked area-of-effect damage, except for bombs.
So, I chose a grenade launcher for eliminating large numbers of weak monsters.
Silent Night (A).
An anti-materiel sniper rifle.
The same reasoning applied here as well.
It wasn’t that the minigun lacked firepower.
But even with Clairvoyance, the minigun wasn’t suitable for long-range attacks.
So, I chose a sniper rifle for long-range, single-target elimination.
I registered the two weapons in Astra and then used the Rank A+ Talent and Skill Selection Ticket.
A healthy and strong body.
A sound mind resides in a sound body.
– Additional correction to all physical actions.
– Minimizes physical strain.
– Restores physical condition to its peak during sleep.
– Increases health and stamina regeneration speed by 50%.
– Significantly reduces the chance of contracting illnesses.
(Disease Resistance +50)
– Unaffected by heat and cold.
(Cold Resistance +100, Heat Resistance +100)
– Health +15, Strength +15, Spirit +15
“Finally.”
Heat Resistance.
I could now ignore the scorching summer heat of the Korean peninsula!
Of course, that wasn’t the main reason I chose Robust Body (A+).
The decisive factor was that my body was reaching its limit.
While my physical abilities had increased along with my stats the strain on my body had also increased significantly due to the Rank S talents and skills.
To put it simply, the glass was almost full.
So, I chose Robust Body (A+) to expand my capacity, to accommodate more talents and skills.
“Now for the last one.”
I looked at the last remaining selection ticket in my hand.
‘Rank S Item Selection Ticket.’
I had already decided what to choose.
Immortality Destruction.
I would obtain a weapon capable of destroying the Outer Gods’ immortality.
So, I entered “Rank S,” “Weapon,” and “Immortality Destruction” in the Point Shop.
‘Mistilteinn’ – Unavailable.
‘Excalibur’ – Unavailable.
‘Ame-no-Habakiri’ – Unavailable.
‘Claíomh Solais’ – Unavailable.
‘Fragarach’ – Unavailable.
‘Longinus’ – Unavailable.
…….
….
…but strangely, they were all unavailable.
“Why?”
Why couldn’t I buy them?
The weapons with the Immortality Destruction effect were all mythical weapons.
So, like Arthur’s Excalibur, some of them might have owners, but not all of them.
Then why…?
I frowned, staring at the shop list.
I scrolled through the list, searching for an available weapon.
“Unavailable, unavailable, unavailable… Seriously, why are they all unavailable?!”
I had never realized there were so many mythical weapons.
But how could they all be unavailable?
“Anything is fine, just give me something that’s available…!”
I muttered, and at that moment an item appeared with the status “Available,” not “Unavailable.”
But of all things…
‘Lævateinn’ – Available
“…Lævateinn?”
…the demonic sword that devoured its user.
“Why Lævateinn?”
Why was this the only one available when all the others were unavailable?
I couldn’t understand.
All the other demonic swords were unavailable, but Lævateinn was available?
Strange.
There had to be a reason.
But since I didn’t know the reason…
…I felt frustrated, a throbbing headache forming.
“…I really don’t understand.”
I muttered, tapping on the “Unavailable” items above Lævateinn.
Dong.
[This item cannot be purchased.]
A short drum sound, and a message stating that the item couldn’t be purchased.
Why couldn’t they be purchased?
And why was Lævateinn available?
The questions deepened.
But the more I pondered the more I felt drawn to the word “Lævateinn.”
Like when I was drawn to firearms during my first class at the Academy.
“…Hmm.”
Drawn to it?
What should I do?
Should I keep searching?
Or should I follow my intuition and choose it?
The questions swirled in my mind.
And as I sat there…
…the sun set…
…the moon rose…
…and dawn approached…
…I made my decision.
[Rank S Item Selection Ticket used to purchase ‘Lævateinn’.]
I would purchase Lævateinn.
Flash.
The last remaining selection ticket vanished.
And a wooden sword, blazing with a bright orange light, appeared in mid-air.
And…
…Whoosh—!
…it instantly incinerated everything in my room.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
“…Sigh.”
It was brief.
Very brief.
The moment Lævateinn appeared and I stored it in my inventory…
…everything in my room vanished.
Fortunately… the flames hadn’t spread outside the room.
I sighed, holding my throbbing head.
But soon…
“…What’s done is done.”
…I accepted it.
I decided to think positively.
“I didn’t expect this to happen, but I’m glad I stored the bed in my inventory.”
I retrieved the bed from my inventory, lay down on it, and praised my past self for storing it.
Then, I checked the information of the weapon that had incinerated everything in my room, Lævateinn.
