- Charlon's errand (Hidden)

In Pneumatic Village, there has always been a ‘martial arts stamp’ for exercising force.

It's called the Seal of Spirits.

The stamp of the Spirit is the ancient legacy of the Goral people, but it is also their pride.

And Charlon's twin brother, Charleon, is one of the perpetrators who has kept the seal of the spirit for a long time.

Charlon bows to your power.

So I recommended you to my younger brother, Charleon, as an honorary dowager.

If you meet Charleon and hand over the necklace and are qualified as an "honorary connoisseur," you will be able to obtain Guardian equipment with many prestige.

Challenge the Spirit Vessel to earn the title of the Honor Vessel.

That would be the first step toward becoming a "guardian of the spirit."

Quest Difficulty: B +

Quest Requirement: Amity with Spirit Guardian Charlon achieved 100.

Timeout: None.

Reward: Permanently increase Amity with ‘Goral’ races by 10.

500,000 prestige.

Guardian's Mask.

After receiving a quest from Charlon, Ian hurriedly reads the contents and heads to Pneumatic Village.

We didn't know how much time the new quest would take, so we have to finish it as soon as possible to avoid any disruption to the hunting schedule.

‘By the way, I learned something interesting with this quest. ’

Kailan's worldview is so perverted that it seems like the game really fits.

What does this mean? Even NPCs that have no particular proportion of defence have their own stories and stories.

Because of this, the small information obtained from quests is often useful, even if it is not needed right now.

And the ‘trivial’ information Ian got from this quest was two things:

First, the spirit guardian Charlon, with the big horns on his head, is the Goral.

Secondly, the guardian of the spirit does not refer only to Charlon, but to any role that could be a user.

‘I'm sure this will help someday. ’

Ian nods, keeping the information in a good place in his head.

As I was reading through the quest, Ian was able to arrive in Pneumatic Village.

‘Now, I think it was this way……. ’

Ian finds the seal of the spirit with ease.

It was because the size of Pneumatic Village was not that big in the first place.

Kick-Queek.

Ian pushes the lever, and an uneasy sound comes from the hinges of the old door made of wood.

And Ian found the NPC guarding the counter.

“I want to enter the stamp, what can I do? ”

NPC, similar to Charlon, but younger middle-aged than Charlon, looks Ian up and down.

Ian was able to see that he was a Goral.

“If you pay me 500 Asters, I can issue you a ticket. ”

“I see.”

“I've never seen this face before, by the way.... Is this your first time with a stamp? ”

“Yes, it's my first time here today. ”

“Then I'll have to explain a few things about this place. ”

“Description……? ”

“Yes. I am tasked with giving new arrivals here some useful information when they challenge the stamp. ”

“Ah……. ”

“And there's a caution in that information. If the challenger fails to be cautious, he may be in danger. ”

After finishing the horse, the NPC takes a few moments of moxa and picks out a piece of old parchment paper from its pack.

He then opens the parchment and scowls upward and downward.

“ ……? ”

And he gave the parchment paper to Ian with a curious expression.

Ian began to read the content with an anticipated expression, which contained some very interesting content.

- Instructions for using the paint

Firstly, the paint consists of 100 floors, with the first floor challenging to succeed step by step.

Each floor you conquer earns‘ Hero Points’ with special rewards.

* However, special rewards can only be obtained during the first conquest and hero points can also be obtained through repeated challenges (Hero points can be exchanged at the entrance of the stamp for a 'Transcendent Gear Box’).

* When you become the first conqueror, you get double the reward.

Second, even if you lose the stamp, you will not die, but you will be forced to summon outside the stamp.

* Reputation may decrease if you lose on a lower difficulty level than your transcendence level.

Third, you can challenge up to three people to the stamp and increase the difficulty level in proportion to the number of people.

Fourth, 15th, 30th, 50th, 70th and 99th floors require you to win against the "Painter" and you will receive a Transcendent Gear Box if you win against the same player (you cannot challenge the same person more than once).

You can also start the challenge from the top of the floor when you try again if you win against the painter.

* If you win against the 99th floor painter, you can enter the 100th floor once a day.

Fifth (Caution!), when you apply for a duel on a floor that is being challenged by another challenger (s), you will fight those challengers first.

If you win the battle, you can naturally challenge the floor, but if you lose the battle, you will be forced to summon outside the stamp.

* Conversely, you may be attacked by other challengers during a battle (the previous battle will be paused when attacked, but your HP will not be recovered).

* If there are more than one challenger in a duel, you must wait for the duel to end.

* Other challengers may be ‘User’ or ‘NPC’.

* All information from other Challenger Parties will not be disclosed (Level, Class ETC). The number of people in the party or the lives they have left during the challenge will also not be revealed, so be careful when you challenge other challengers.

* * *

“Wow, what kind of trial is this? ”

“I know, I gave up counting after more than 10 times.... ”

Ralph, Chesk, and Inisko.

For three days, these three rooms have been under the seal of this spirit.

Ralph's party members were all lured back to the human world after the first day, but the three of them were still trying to clear.

And the reason they tried so far was not because of anything else.

There is a "painter" who can only be met by clearing 14 floors in the middle of a trial.

If I could win against him, I could win a coveted prize called the Transcendent Equipment Crate.

The reward up to the 13th floor was not bad, but it was all ‘general goods’ or ‘materials’ items.

However, the reward from the perpetrators on the 15th floor, starting with the name 'Equipment Box'.

It is a reward that cannot be undone.

Moreover, unlike the rest of the people who did not even make it to the 10th floor, their three parties were barely failing on the 14th floor.

If they weren't greedy in this situation, they wouldn't be Kailan's rankers.

However, as announcements related to large-scale updates came to light, they began to become increasingly nervous.

“Ralph, don't you think you should stop now? ”

“Yes, Ralph. You're right, Chesk. You're great enough to get to the 14th floor. You don't have to challenge the 15th floor... ”

“Yes. We need to get to transcendence now, too. We don't know how long it's going to take to get to level 10. This place will be a lot easier if you come back here and try again after level 10. ”

Ralph's eyebrows narrow a little with Chesk and Inisko's persuasion.

But Ralph couldn't give up on the transcendental toolbox easily.

‘Ugh, I'm so close... ’

Of course, a Transcendent Equipment Box can be obtained even if you do not defeat the painter.

You can earn your hero points and purchase them.

But the problem was, the price of the equipment crates was dire.

‘I'll give you 1 point if you break the first floor, and 2 points if you break the second floor.... In what year did you accumulate 10,000 points? ’

There were ten different types of transcendent equipment boxes sold at the entrance to the stamp, in total, by grade.

However, even the lowest rated equipment chest requires 10,000 hero points to be purchased.

And the hero points Ralph's group worked hard for three days were only about 15,000.

In the future, more than a full month, you will need to be able to purchase the lowest grade equipment box.

Once he takes a deep breath, Ralph opens his mouth slowly.

“Phew……. Yeah, I know. But... wasn't it a waste this time? ”

“That's it... ”

“That should have been a shame, but that was the third time. ”

“ ……. ”

A short pause resulted between the three of them.

And after a while, Ralph opens his mouth again.

“Let's really do it one last time. ”

“ ……! ”

“If we weren't the first challengers, I wouldn't be so obsessed. ”

Ralph bites his lower lip slightly and stares at Chesk and Inysco alternately.

And the two eyes met him, and he sighed at the same time.

“Well……. Ralph's got a point. You'll get two crates of equipment when you get your first clear reward, which is almost a month or so in time. ”

“Ugh, I'm sure it's a shame.... ”

Chesk and Inisko's eyes meet in the air.

After a while, the two of them slowly nodded.

And the first thing I opened was a serious chess face.

“Yes, Ralph. Let's do it one last time, like you said. ”

“ ……! ”

Inisko also frowned.

“Let's really burn the soul this time, Ralph. There's a lot of content taken from the others, but let's take over this stamp. ”

Ralph clenched his two fists to see if the consensus of the two began to resonate again.

“Great! Let's really burn everything! ”

The three people who succeeded in the battle simply shared their feedback on the past battle.

After a while, he entered the stamp again with a splendid face.

But at this point, three people didn't know.

that this one decision, really, could burn down their mental state.
