First, X checked the newly emerged quest.
《The Fall of the Ancient Kingdom-1》

2 .”
A sigh comes out of my mouth. X muttered to himself.
‘How many more ruthless bastards are left?’
It’s not just any other guys, it’s the home of the greatest dark being in the Fate World. Is it because he fought Zawl and turned into a bare-boned skeleton? As I thought about what was to come, I felt goosebumps rising all over my body.
But on the contrary, X’s jawbone was shaking.
‘...I guess it’ll be fun anyway?’
A thrill I felt for the first time in a while!
The battle with Zawl was intense. The desire for challenge and battle cells that I had forgotten about for a while still tremble. I have to face enemies stronger than Zaul.
Although it was daunting, I couldn’t hide my anticipation.
Ttuk! X declared, clenching his bony fists.
“Don’t worry. “I will definitely dig up information!”
“...It’s nice to be confident.”
“Are you okay, Zaul?”
In response to the spirit’s worried question, X looked at Zawl’s face. The small smile he was giving had suddenly turned into a bitter smile. Zawl spoke for a moment before X was worried.
“...If I don’t purify the rune stone like I said, I will be tied up here... I will have no choice but to be distracted by an evil being again. “You never know when you might lose your temper.”
“We will resolve it as quickly as possible.”
As of now, there is nothing I can give you other than an answer. X was also in a frustrating situation.
But Zawl was a great man. He took a deep breath and spoke sweetly.
“Still, there is no need to rush. No, you can’t rush it. The mission entrusted to you is not an easy one. There is a saying that the more urgent you are, the better you should go back. “It won’t be too late to start once you’re fully prepared.”
I thought so even if I didn’t say it.
X’s current level has reached 222 after defeating Zawl.
222 This figure is definitely insufficient to be considered a ranker. It is just an upper-middle level.
However, X’s stats far exceed those of the top rankers.
Still, X was not satisfied.
‘I couldn’t pay attention to the level or the equipment.’
Honestly, with the equipment and skills I have now and X’s combat sense, I can easily destroy at least one mid-sized guild. What if Yongyong also joins in? Even large guilds cannot be safe.
But aren’t the enemies X will face in the future much stronger than him?
‘Furthermore, the next target is the home of another being. At the current level, it won’t even be possible to hit a rock with an egg.’
Preparation is needed.
I had to raise the level that I had neglected and replace the old equipment that I had been using for quite some time... Also, as I stood out in Fate, there were things I had to deal with in real life as well. X creaked his jaw slyly.
“Fully prepared. “I will keep that in mind.”
“...Good. “Anyway, I’m glad.”
“?”
At Zawl’s voice, a question appeared on X and the spirit’s faces. Zawl playfully opened his mouth to the spirit sitting on his shoulder.
“Comrade... No, I have a companion to share the heavy burden. Even if I’m not in good physical condition, I can at least chat about this and that... I’ll be able to resist the interference of evil beings as much as possible. Isn’t that so, adventurer?”
“Kyuu?”
Jaul was looking at Yongyong.
Yongyong was quietly listening to the conversation, but it looks like his patience has run out.
Round and round! X looked at the dragon flying around the spirit, wagging its chubby tail, and smiled back.
“Golgol. “It’s definitely less boring together than alone.”
*
Shit! Yongyong soars into the sky.
“It’s much lighter than before, right?”
A notification rang.
[PK begins with a preemptive strike!]
“...PK? Why PK?!”
puck! For a moment, Nuts’ body rose into the air.
Flash! A skeleton’s eye sockets that emit light.
Tiroling! Nuts was barely able to understand the situation through the notification.
[Fatal blow!]
[He falls into confusion due to tremendous shock!]
[He enters a near-death state!]
“...X is done.”
What on earth is going on? The skeleton disappeared and in an instant, I felt shock on my face. Nuts’s vision turned gray for a moment before he was surprised.
One punch. Nuts died with a single blow.
Gorgeous! Skeleton X laughed while looking at Nuts.
“Were we being tracked again? No, I didn’t feel anything strange... but this guy is also really stupid. I’m blatantly trying to get him to call me a PK girl, but he’s just giving me that. Besides, I’m alone.”
X felt Nuts’ presence from the moment he entered the snowy field. And he calmly acted like a stupid skeleton. I was caught so easily that I thought I had a friend, but it turns out that wasn’t the case. Anyway, a harvest was a harvest.
X looked at Nuts’ body.
‘Let’s see, if you look at the equipment, it looks like the level is similar to mine.’
It’s natural to get your mouth watering when you see the fancy bow and expensive-looking leather clothes.
You can randomly obtain items from users who die due to PK. X prayed earnestly with a sinister smile on his face.
“Golden hands, no golden bones, please...!”
A heavenly capture. I hope that effect kicks in!
After checking his inventory, X jumped up onto the snow field.
“nice!!”
The gorgeous bow I wanted the most. The bow with its impressive red decorations was flashing in the inventory.
For a moment, X took out his bow and checked his options.
-Knife Wind Maple Leaf (Rare)
A bow decorated with red maple leaves.
It boasts incredible attack speed despite its light weight.
Limit: Level 200↑ / Agility 700↑
Attack power: +250
Agility: +70
Special effect: The speed of pulling the bowstring is doubled.
“her.”
Attack power is decent. To be honest, it was lower than the level required for rare grade.
But the special effects made up for everything. Doubling the speed of pulling the bowstring means doubling the attack speed!
It was a good start. I got a weapon that I could use right away.
Plop, plop!
X’s shoulders shook.
‘You’ve been using it for a long time, right?’
Likewise, the falcon’s golden claws obtained through PK. X looked vaguely at the hawk’s golden claws, which he had grown fond of for some reason.
Without hesitating even for a moment, I put the hawk’s golden claw into my inventory.
“Since I picked the mulberries a long time ago, I should put them on the auction house.”
How much can I get?
Considering the unique level and the number of new Fate users, it seemed like it would be more than enough to cover one month’s living expenses.
Ting!
X flicked the newly equipped bowstring. It feels good to stick to your hand.
“Now then, shall we continue what we were doing?”
Shashashak!
X immediately bends down and plows through the snow. It was not an option to pass up rare ingredients that can only be obtained in certain regions.
Immediately, X picked up a grass root and muttered.
“It’s nice that my hands don’t get cold again.”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
