216. Reaching lv.40
It had been a long time since Seth felt <Calm Reaction> act up. He left the building behind and changed from his armor into the cloak.If there was any lesson in what happened today, it was that the world was still complicated. It had shown Seth that even if the world looked calm, it wasn’t. There ...
Does any one...?

215. Entering the Weasel’s Den
It became late and the merchant led him towards one of the high risers a little outside of the center. The merchant showed a token at the entrance and took him along.

214. Are you serious?
“Then would you allow us to get an appraiser and check the item before we buy it?”Besides people buying and selling wares, there were also service providers like independent appraisers or craftsmen that made their money by appraising items for others. Seth agreed but put away the better items.Th...
213. Visiting the city in disguise
Today he would take a break for his soul. Some time to really relax and have fun. Like a king that wanted to take a look at the life of a peasant, he disguised himself.Among the loot from the dungeon was a “Cloak of disguise”. This was a fairly common item even in Y-City. It could be found in mo...
212. MVP out
They followed Puffles for another two floors during which the pet stomped any mob they came across and gorged itself on their bodies.~Alright! I’m full. I will return to the pet space now. ~“What?! Wait! Puffles!?”Seth couldn’t stop the ivicer form suddenly vanishing as it returned to the pe...
211. Grinding Levels (2)
This was as far as other parties like Squad 1 from the hunter’s association or elites from the bigger guilds had come before. This was the last boss room they had to share with those that came before them.Inside the boss room stood a massive humanoid eagle. Like the bird version of a minotaur. He ...
210. Grinding Levels
Their first dungeon run was over within the wink of an eye. They had chosen a portal dungeon with monsters ranging from lv.35 to 40.

209. Testing Equipment
During lunch the next day everyone was assembled in the cafeteria.“Hey guys, how about we go visit a dungeon? It's been a while and we should test our new party composition.”Seth suggested a dungeon dive after everyone had finished their meal. They had stayed indoors for almost 3 weeks and t...
208. Delivery Arrives
Seth had a good idea for Jonah’s armor but lacked the materials. That was the problem with his material catalog being filled with stuff from another world.

206. New Companions
The crimson blade suddenly took the initiative to speak. The explosive beauty had a surprised look on her face. She was just as surprised as Seth. The voice did not match the owner's outward appearance at all.~Ke Ke ke, just wait, there is more. ~ Al laughed to herself. Seth didn't know what...
205.Second Auction (3)
Seth felt relaxed. He did not think Mark was someone stupid with bad intentions. Even if he was, at this point in time it did not really matter anymore. Seth did not really feel threatened. He had finished most of his equipment; some were even better than he could have wished for. The church backed ...
204. Second Auction (2)
It was the day of the second auction held by Y-Cities Church. They changed the venue to accommodate the increase of participants.

203. Second Auction
In the mornings he would have sparring sessions with Tekar to train his new movement skill. It was a very steady skill that focused on the foundations. It was not complicated to train but took a lot of energy. In exchange, it improved his overall movability and evasion, especially in combat.The rest...
202. Stocking up on Blingbling
Seth had a lot to do at least the gloves were no cause of worries. It would probably take months before he could even make something comparable. Not to mention something better. The only thing he could do was to further improve them by infusing a soul armament.However, he held back on that for now. ...
201. The Tailor and the Blacksmith
Once upon a time, there was a dwarven blacksmith called Tored. He was a famous and popular master of his craft among the people of Ora and his race.

200.Present beyond imagination
It has been two weeks since Seth and the party returned. The second auction had been postponed because of the recent invasion.

On the second day of their journey through the safety zone, they saw a huge number of new damages across the city. It seemed like something had happened.

197. The Present
The group of Tuatha de reached the roof of the building. They knew there had been people until just moments ago but they somehow vanished. Had they jumped dimensions? Their leader, a young man approaching the 400 cycles (~450 years), was grasping in the air while mumbling a spell.“There are defini...
196. Goodies on the way (2)
“Wow, where did you get these?” Seth asked excitedly.Materials with an affinity to fire and earth were great stuff for him. It was a shame that obsidian was very fragile, unlike the <Fire Glass> he had used for his cuirass.This meant that these materials were more suited to be used in jewelry, t...

194. The Index
Three people were leisurely sitting in the front row of what looked like a home theatre. A few others were sitting in the seat behind, but only their silhouettes were visible. This was the solution of the three, Hades, Hephaistos, and Seth.Instead of showing the other god’s clips one by one, they ...
193. On the Way back
“Boss?” Link asked carefully after Seth had stiffened with a weird expression on his face. Were Alison’s words too harsh?“Oh, sorry. I spaced out for a moment. Hehe, you may think I got scammed on this one but just you wait and see. You will understand in the future, just how unfair this ble...
192. Blessed by the Gods
Seth was close to lv. 30. Burning down the base with almost 50 people had brought him to the cusp of lv. 29.

“Then let's first fix you completely so you can savor the meal I’m about to serve you. Okay?”They didn’t just rush off; everything should be done in order. While Evee was slowly regenerating her HP, the party sat down and finished the meal Link had cooked, before they were rudely interru...
