Adrian woke up the next morning and did his morning exercise before he went to the pod. He manage to move his legs partially for just a moment but that made his day brighter. He hurriedly logged in into the game with the expectation that it would be a great day. He the summoned Sirius then went his way to find Ascalor to submit his quest completion.

[Quest Growing Stronger II completed]

[Quest reward Random Rune Box has been acquired]

Item: Random Rune Box

Description: Opening the box will give the user a random rune stone that can be used to fill the empty sockets of equipment. Runes vary from common to mythical. (Expand to look at percentage or Drop rate)

Adrian clicked the to check the drop rate and he could not believe it.

Drop rate:

Common- 50%

Uncommon-30%

Rare- 15%

Epic-4%

Legendary- 0.9%

Mythical-0.1%

Adrian could not believe the percentages that the box entails. The drop rate for mythical rune stones was abysmal. At best, he could hope for was a rare rune stone. He was going to open the rune box when he remembered a specific item that could potentially boost his chances.

Item: Coin of Fortune

Effect: Increases the drop rate of items inside a dungeon. Can also increase the chances of obtaining a higher tier item for a loot box. (Consumable)

Description: A coin said to have been created by the the God of Luck and Fortune, Fortinius.

This was the item that could increase his chances of obtaining at least an epic, if he was really lucky.

[Do you want to consume Coin of Fortune and use it for the Random Rune Box?] Y/N

[The Coin of Fortune has been consumed.]

[The drop rate has been reinforced and changed. Please recheck the drop rate.]

Adrian then clicked the new drop rate that he was given and he was stupefied.

Drop Rate:

Uncommon-30%

Rare- 50%

Epic- 15%

Legendary-4%

Mythical-1%

He jumped for joy and he only stopped when Ascalor was looking at him funny. Adrian then coughed and then fixed his posture before opening the the random rune box. As he was opening the rune box, the light peeking from the box suddenly shot out a beam that illuminated the area. When the light subsided, a rune stone was seen floating in front of Adrian. The rune was glistening and had a sparkle. It was red in color and was pulsating an invisible force.

Item: Rune of Explosive Force

Tier: Mythical

Effect: Gives the weapon the skill Geoforce.

Description: A rune said to have been made from the heart of a dying star. The stone was then inscribe by the Goddess of Language, Lingua.

Skill: Geoforce

Effect: Enlarges the weapon but keeps its weight the same as its normal form. Only the user will not feel the weight change. Gives the weapon 50% adaptive damage increase. Allows the user to shoot blasts of condensed mana from the weapon for 5 MP.

Adrian’s eyes was already tearing up due to the incredible luck that he has experienced. It is a pity that he only has one Coin of Fortune. Ascalor though was shocked that the random rune box that he gave Equinox managed to produce a mythical rune stone. Ascalor did not know that Adrian wasted a Coin of Fortune, he would have shake Adrian’s body and tell him why waste a valuable treasure for a random rune box.

“Congratulations, young one. You seem to have the luck of the gods with you.” Ascalor said happily.

Ascalor then gave Adrian his next part of the quest.

●Quest Notification●

Growing Stronger III

Ascalor wants you to become stronger and acquire you sub job.

Clear Condition: Achieve Level 15, Get a Sub Job

Reward: Ring of Power

Adrian was surprised that Ascalor wanted him to get a sub job. It was still to early for him to consider getting a sub job because you need to be level 15 to even get one. A sub job is basically a secondary job or what is more commonly known as a production job. Sub jobs vary for example blacksmith or magitech engineers. Sub Jobs not only increase the player’s experience in playing the game but also improves battle experience. For example, a blacksmith sub job could give you the brittle passive skill that decreases the armors defenses when hit by a weapon. Although some players focus more on their sub job since it earns more moola if done right.

Adrian accepted the quest since he got nothing better to do and went to look for the quest board in the Paradox Plane to get more quests. As he was walking to quest board, he looked at the auction and it almost made him faint.

==========================

As soon as Adrian logged out the night before and set the soul stone for auction. At first, it only got bids for about silver coins. Until, the big guilds managed to caught wind of the soul stone that was for sale. The big guild basically outbid each other since they knew the potential of this soul stone. The big guilds do not know if the seller was a godlike summoner or a stupid one for not recognizing the soul stone’s potential. If given to the right Insectomancer, the player would be able to raise an army and it was also a silver grade soulstone which means the creature could evolve.

The price capped to about 557 gold coins which is about 557 US dollars. The Evergreen guild managed to get the soul stone which everyone more or less predicted since they have an Insectomancer named Mariposa. Mariposa is one of the up and coming summoner superstars since she is known as the Insect Queen. Not only was she really good and versatile as an Insectomancer, she was also rather beautiful and charming. The auction house deducts about 10% of the sales as tax and service fee. All in all, Adrian managed to get 501.3 dollars as payment.

=========================

The amount of money he got almost made him faint. He could splurge the money to get a costume for his character so that he could hide his armor if ever he wants to become a streamer. He wanted to become a streamer so that he could earn a couple of money so that he is not reliant on his father on paying the monthly subscription for the game pod. He then skipped his way to the quest board that earned him stares from the NPC’s.
