Newbie Life of a Former Ranker

chapter 83



Even putting aside the shiny name of the artifact class, the Rune Gauntlet was beautiful.

A circuit through which magic flows and a magic letter rune that fills the empty space crafted on a matte gold metal surface.

Do-jin put his hand inside the rune gauntlet.

The metal surfaces of the cloth gloves and rune gauntlets touched.

Following the coldness and hardness, an electrifying tingling sensation passed through my fingertips.

At that moment, the rune gauntlet, which had been loose, shrunk to fit in my hand.

“This is the basic form.”

It was so thin and simple that it could be called a leather glove unless the knuckles were separated.

However, this was not the true nature of the Magic Gauntlet.

In other words, if you hit it with a sword, you can see it as a lead sword in a scabbard.

The true nature of the Magic Gauntlet is revealed when a wizard prepares for battle.

“Then let’s see the true face.”

Dojin operated Mana.

At that moment, the rune gauntlet spewed metal threads.

Grasping, the thread that burst out climbed up Dojin’s arm and tightened his arm.

In an instant, the rune gauntlet, which had only reached the wrist, was transformed into a vaccine that perfectly wrapped around Dojin’s arm.

‘… … .’

Even Do-jin, who is quite familiar with this type of transformation, was surprised by the dramatic change in the Rune Gauntlet.

‘It’s very thin, so I thought it would be a relief if it wrapped up to the middle of the forearm, but even if the seal hasn’t been released, a relic is a relic, isn’t it?’

The Magic Gauntlet is a practical class of soldiers designed for wizards on the battlefield.

Both hands are free while taking care of magic amplification, speed improvement, and load reduction, which are the functions of a wizard’s weapon.

The purpose of the magic gauntlet was to give additional functions through engraving on a relatively wide metal surface and, in the worst case, to have the defense of a small shield in close combat.

‘Compared to other weapons, the magic power amplification efficiency was relatively low, so it was unpopular equipment.’

But there is no such thing as a good thing.

The Magic Gauntlet’s magic attack power was low compared to other armies.

Even the advantage of being able to use it for defense was not a big advantage because the magic gauntlet would be damaged after a few attacks, resulting in a decrease in performance.

‘But again, it’s a different story if it’s an artifact grade magic gauntlet.’

Yes. The downside of the magic gauntlet is that it only applies to clumsy S-grade equipment items.

The story is completely different from the relic class classified as non-standard.

Even considering the 100% critical rate, which is the effect of the [Death Rune], it can be said that it has an offensive ability that cannot be matched by most S-class equipment.

Even the tiny 100 attack/defense stats can’t be ignored unless you consider that it’s an additional option.

Even part of the seal was broken, and that’s how much his abilities were suppressed.

How much stronger it will be if you unlock additional seals later.

Dojin has already been looking forward to it.

‘A weapon that grows together. Hey, this is a romance.’

Looking at the rune gauntlet completely wrapped around his arm with proud eyes, Dojin felt a strong desire to level up.

“wait a moment. I’ll rip the seal off as quickly as possible.”

Yes, level up first. Let’s start with leveling up.

The next goal, <Forest that Sings Eternity>, is a place where you have to be at least level 90 by yourself before you even dare to set foot in it.

“Oh right. I need to set up the equipment again.”

The moment I was about to move my steps, wanting to cast magic on the face of the monster right away.

Do-jin realized a very important fact.

“I got this weapon… … .”

The equipment setting is just a ragged setting that you pick up and wear as you see fit.

Until now, I thought it was a way to grow, so I bought something suitable at a reasonable price and wore it.

However, since he had obtained the artifact equipment, it was time to properly set it up.

‘It’s only natural for wizards to set up critical hits, which is almost impossible.’

The wizard was a class that suffered a great loss in terms of critical hit, that is, critical option.

Since magic itself is specialized in power, if a critical hit is easily triggered, the attack power really rampages, so it was intentionally made to have almost no critical hit.

Even if you pull the critical hit chance option from all equipment parts, the limit is 10% at most, so the critical hit setting was an almost impossible setting for a wizard.

However, with artifact equipment, it reached 100% fatality, an area that was difficult to reach even by water ball diggers.

‘If this is properly distributed and properly set… I don’t know if a real dog scammer will be made… … ?’

Do-jin took the combination of abilities floating around in his head and tried to paste it.

I have a strong feeling that I will be cool no matter what I do.

* * *

Setting up the equipment was not difficult.

In the past, I had to do everything by myself, including making settings, arranging necessary equipment and options, and searching for them on exchanges and lotranet trading pages, but that was not the case now.

“Do Jin-ah, here is the list of items. All of the level 70 wizard equipment posted on Lotranet has been thoroughly reviewed and organized by option you want. Options that were not found in level 70 equipment were replaced with level 60 equipment below, so you should refer to them.”

LOST is a hugely popular game.

Speaking of virtual reality MMORPGs, nine out of ten are playing LOST.

So, it is only natural that there are LOST users among the employees working at RAEL Entertainment.

Dojin actively used this.

Instead of going out on their own to find the equipment they need, they left it to the company.

The result was an enormous list of items that Cheon Ji-hyeon brought in two days.

“That’s a lot.”

There were so many pieces of equipment that I wondered if all of the equipment registered on the exchange had been moved.

Still, this is compressed and compressed.

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Magic attack power +15

Physical/Magical Defense +100

Casting speed +5%

[Seller: Lotranet]

[Price: $13,000]

Dojin, who confirmed the financial resources of the top equipment, nodded.

I liked how it was neatly organized and written with only the necessary information as I wanted.

‘The options are exactly what I wanted… sorry for the price is not it? Well, it’s a time when level 70 equipment is rare.’

Do-jin carefully reviewed the equipment list and combined the equipment.

‘It would be better to give up the attack stats on the top and bottom side and fill up the defense stats instead. Let’s attach the magic technique to the robe. Let’s take care of the rest of the parts and accessories with casting speed.’

The concept that Dojin caught was speed.

Until now, because of 「The Book of Truth」, the casting speed was much faster than that of ordinary wizards, so I invested more in the offensive side.

However, due to the existence of the artifact weapon, the offensive side became powerful enough with minimal investment, so it was decided to increase the speed as much as possible.

‘This time I got [Mana Delay] and mana management became easier, so I’ll try to raise the real speed like crazy.’

1-star magic already has a speed close to instant casting.

Here, if you push the equipment setting toward casting and work on the proficiency of frequently used magic through interpretation, you will be able to cast 2-star as well as 3-star magic really quickly.

‘The cannon that used to go out moderately fast is now going to be a cannon that goes out filthy fast.’

For example, an infantry grenade launcher becomes a multiple-shot grenade launcher carried on an armored vehicle.

“Well, that should be enough. I’ll have to sell it and buy it again after I raise the level anyway, so I’m going to do it like this for now.”

It was a very well-organized list, so it was a good piece of equipment to pick roughly.

“Sister, buy this for me. I’ll take the money from my settlement.”

“yes? After hearing that you said you needed equipment, the manager… … .”

“No, just say you want to do it with my money and take care of it. I’m sorry if you keep repeating it.”

“Still, the manager… … .”

“This is with my own money.”

Chun Ji-hyeon was speechless at Do-jin’s determined words.

“yes… You can’t help it if that’s what you think. I will report that to the company. So, is there anything else you want me to do?”

Do-jin said to Cheon Ji-hyeon, who asked while checking the list of equipment Do-jin had picked.

“Is there a weapon I was wearing? Sell it and use it to buy equipment. It’s S-class, but it’s a level 53 item, so it won’t be that expensive.”

“How much should I sell it for?”

“If you leave it to the employee who organized the equipment list, he will sell it for you at the market rate.”

“is it? okay.”

“How much is the total of all the equipment I picked out?”

Come to think of it, I didn’t even check the price. Do-jin asked belatedly.

“uh… Wait a moment. Gold, dollars, won and yen are mixed. So… If you calculate this in gold, no, won… … .”

Chun Ji-hyeon quickly finished the calculation, checked the total amount, and sighed.

“… It’s over 140 million won… … ?”

Dojin also stopped breathing for a moment.

‘think… more expensive I skipped all the S’s and chose only A’s and B’s.’

The word came up that he would choose again with his throat, but Dojin put it back in.

Currently, the number of subscribers to Dojin’s channel has exceeded 5 million. It is also growing rapidly.

The number of views is also explosive, so you won’t have to worry about money in the future. maybe.

It took a while that the permission to generate revenue hasn’t been issued yet, but that’s because it hasn’t been 3 months since the channel was created, so everything will be resolved later.

‘I heard you weren’t this tight before. This is why monopoly is a problem.’

There is no point in harboring dissatisfaction with YouTube’s monopoly in the video media market right now.

Dojin brushed off the thoughts that came to his mind and said.

“Just deal with it.”

a few days later Do-jin was able to receive the equipment entrusted to him from the adventurer’s guild.

* * *

Dojin, who completely changed the equipment setting, headed to the hunting ground to experiment with the new equipment.

[Red Wild Pig – Lv.85]

The first victim is the ‘Red Wild Boar’, a monster rumored to have high HP.

It was a monster that required a party of five at level 75 to spend more than one minute catching one.

A normal monster, but hard enough to be treated as an elite monster.

The red boar wandered around and turned its head.

Dojin was found.

– Kkweik!

The guy, who expressed his displeasure with a short cry, started stamping his feet.

Chwack, chuack. His footsteps dug a hole in the hard dirt floor.

Seeing that, Dojin opened the magic circuit leisurely.

A black thread stretched out and wrapped around the arm.

On the surface of the fully deployed 「Sealed Rune Gauntlet」, Dojin’s golden magic appeared and disappeared as if coated.

“Come on, fat.”

The red wild boar started running.

A sense of speed, as if I had fired my body rather than running.

Do-jin opened the book of truth and prepared for battle.

《Fireball》

As soon as Do-jin realized that he would use magic, a spark bloomed almost at the same time.

The 2-star magic 「Fireball」 was made almost as quickly as 「Fire Arrow」.

And as soon as it is created, it flies like a darting arrow.

– Kkweik!

Perong! The explosion of drinking and the death of the red wild pig overlapped.

The combination of the appropriate magic attack power and the critical damage increase option to maximize the 100% critical hit option showed amazing power.

A red wild boar nicknamed Blood Pig because its blood tube was 3 times larger than that of a normal monster of the same level was scorched black in one shot and turned its belly upside down.

“… Is this a one-shot cut?”

Even Do-jin, who sent the red wild pig into the goal with one shot, was surprised at the absurd power.

Even considering the world event buff, I thought I would have to put two shots in, but I was dumbfounded to die in one shot.

“No matter how much magic critical hits boast crazy damage… This is really crazy.”

The red boar was level 85, but it was as good as a level 90 monster.

A guy like that could go to the goal with just one shot of 2-star magic.

Hidden classes, artifact weapons, cash magic equipment settings, and stat boosts due to event buffs overlap, to the point where strength is no longer the main subject.

Dojin, who had been frowning at the pig corpse for a moment, opened his mouth.

“If the seal had been broken, it would have been one star.”

that’s a bit unfortunate The muttering Do-jin had no conscience.
