83
Even aside from the flashy name of relic grade, the Rune Gauntlet was beautiful.
Magical circuits and magical runes filling the empty spaces engraved on a matte gold metal surface.
Dojin put his hand into the rune gauntlet.
The metal surfaces of the heavenly gloves and the rune gauntlets touched.
After the cold and hardness, a tingling sensation of electricity passed through my fingertips.
At that moment, the loose rune gauntlet shrank to fit his hand perfectly.
“This is the basic form.”
It is so thin and simple that it could be called a leather glove if not for the separated finger joints.
But this was not the true form of the Magic Gauntlet.
In other words, this appearance can be seen as the state in which the sword is placed inside the scabbard when struck with a sword.
The Magic Gauntlet’s true form is revealed when the wizard prepares for battle.
“Then let’s see the real thing.”
Dojin used mana.
At that moment, the Rune Gauntlet emitted a stream of metal thread.
The thread that burst out after grasping it went up Dojin’s arm and tightened its hold on his arm.
In an instant, the rune gauntlet that had only reached around the wrist had transformed into a full armguard that perfectly wrapped around Dojin’s arm.
‘… … .’
Even Dojin, who was used to such transformation functions, was surprised by the dramatic change in the Rune Gauntlet.
‘It was so thin that I thought it would be fortunate if it covered the middle of my forearm, but even if the seal wasn’t completely released, a relic is a relic, is that it?’
Magic Gauntlets are a practical unit designed for wizards on the battlefield.
As a wizard’s weapon, you can enjoy the benefits of magical amplification, speed increase, and load reduction, while keeping both hands free.
The purpose of the Magic Gauntlet was to provide additional functions through engraving and other methods on a relatively large metal surface, and in the worst case, to provide defensive power equivalent to that of a small shield in close combat.
‘It was an unpopular piece of equipment because its magic power amplification efficiency was relatively low compared to other weapons.’
But there is no such thing as something that only has advantages.
The Magic Gauntlet had a low magical attack power compared to other types of weapons.
The advantage of being able to be used for defense was not that great because the Magic Gauntlet would break after blocking a few attacks, causing its performance to deteriorate.
‘But if it’s a relic-grade magic gauntlet, it’s a different story.’
Yes. The downside of the Magic Gauntlet is that it only applies to weak S-grade equipment items.
The story is completely different for artifacts classified outside the standards.
Even if you only consider the 100% critical effect of the “Final Kill Rune”, you can see that it has an attack ability that cannot be matched by even S-class equipment.
If you consider that the 100% attack/defense stats are additional options, then it is not something to be ignored.
Even the seal was only partially released, so the power was suppressed to this extent.
How much stronger will it become if additional seals are released later?
Dojin was already looking forward to it.
‘A weapon that grows together. Wow, this is romance.’
Dojin felt a strong desire to level up as he looked at the rune gauntlet that completely wrapped around his arm with proud eyes.
“Just wait a moment. I’ll break the seal as quickly as I can.”
Okay, let’s level up first. Let’s start with leveling up.
The next goal,
“Oh, right. I guess I’ll have to re-set up my equipment too.”
Just as I was about to take a step forward and cast a spell on the monster’s face.
Dojin realized something very important.
“I got this weapon… … .”
The equipment settings are just a rag-tag bunch of things that were picked up and put together.
Up until now, I thought of it as a path to growth, so I bought something suitable at a reasonable price and wore it.
But now that you’ve acquired your relic gear, it’s time to set it up properly.
‘Since wizards can now set up critical hits that are nearly impossible, it’s only natural that they set up their skills accordingly.’
The wizard was a class that was very disadvantaged in terms of critical hit options.
Because the magic itself is specialized in power, if a critical hit is easily achieved, the attack power goes crazy, so it was intentionally made so that critical hits rarely occur.
Even if you pull the critical hit chance option from all equipment parts, it is limited to around 10 percent at best, so the critical hit setting was almost impossible for a wizard.
However, with relic equipment, we have reached a level that is difficult even for physical attack characters to reach: 100% critical hit rate.
‘If you properly distribute the options by part and set them up… you might be able to create a really great character… … ?’
Dojin took the combinations of abilities floating around in his head and tried them out.
I have a strong feeling that whatever I do will turn out great.
* * *
Setting up the equipment wasn’t difficult.
In the past, you had to do everything by yourself, such as setting up the settings, organizing the necessary equipment and options, and searching for them on exchanges and LotteryNet trading pages, but that wasn’t the case anymore.
“Dojin, here’s a list of items I’ve organized. I’ve sorted through all the level 70 magic equipment on Lotranet and organized it by the options you want. If you can’t find any options in the level 70 equipment, I’ve replaced them with level 60 equipment at the bottom, so please refer to that.”
LOST is a hugely popular game.
When it comes to virtual reality MMORPGs, nine out of ten are playing LOST.
So it’s only natural that there are LOST users among the employees working at Lael Entertainment.
Dojin took advantage of this.
Instead of going out and finding the equipment they needed themselves, they left it up to the company.
The result was a huge list of items that Cheon Ji-hyeon brought in in two days.
“There are so many.”
There were so many devices that it seemed like they had just moved all the devices registered on the exchange.
Still, this is compressed and compressed.

[Red Lizard Scale Robe]
Grade: A
Wear Level: 75
Required Ability: Intelligence 200
Options
Magic attack power +15
Physical/magical defense +100
Casting speed +5%
[Seller: Lotranet]
[Price: $13,000]
Dojin nodded after checking the resources for the equipment at the top.
I liked how it was neatly organized and listed only the information I needed, just as I wanted.
‘The options are exactly what I wanted… but the price is a shame. Isn’t it? Well, these days, even level 70 equipment is rare.’
Dojin carefully looked over the equipment list and combined the equipment.
‘For the top and bottom, it would be better to give up the attack stat and instead focus on filling up the defense stat. I’ll put the magic attack on the robe. For the remaining parts and accessories, I’ll focus on casting speed.’
The concept that Dojin came up with was speed.
Up until now, I had invested more in attacking because the casting speed was much faster than that of an ordinary wizard due to the Book of Truth.
However, now that the attack side has become powerful enough with minimal investment due to the existence of relic weapons, we decided to increase the speed as much as possible.
‘I’ve obtained the “Mana Retention” this time, so mana management has become easier, so I really need to increase my speed like crazy.’
1-star magic already has a casting speed close to instantaneous.
If you push your equipment settings towards casting here and work on your proficiency in frequently used magic through interpretation, you will be able to cast 2-star and even 3-star magic really quickly.
‘The cannon that used to fire fairly quickly has now become a cannon that fires terribly fast.’
For example, an infantry grenade launcher can become a multiple-barrel grenade launcher mounted on an armored vehicle.
“Well, this should be about right. I’ll have to sell it and buy it again when I level up anyway, so this should be enough for now.”
Because the list was so well organized, even if you just chose roughly, it was all good equipment.
“Sister, buy this with me. I’ll deduct the money from my settlement.”
“Huh? I heard that you said you needed equipment, so the director… … .”
“No, just tell me that you want to do it with my money and let it be. I’ll feel bad if you keep asking me for it.”
“But the director… … .”
“This time, it’s my money.”
Cheon Ji-hyeon trailed off at Do-jin’s firm words.
“Yeah… If that’s what you think, then there’s nothing I can do. I’ll report that to the company. Then, is there anything else you want me to do?”
Dojin said this to Cheon Jihyun, who was checking the list of equipment Dojin had chosen.
“I have a weapon I used to have. Sell it and give me the money I need to buy more equipment. It’s an S-grade item, but it’s only a level 53 item, so it shouldn’t be that expensive.”
“How much should I sell it for?”
“If you leave this to the employee who organized the equipment list, he will sell it at the market price.”
“Is that so? Okay.”
“How much does all the equipment I chose cost?”
By the way, I didn’t even check the price. Dojin asked late.
“Uh… Wait a minute. Gold, dollars, won, and yen are all mixed up. So… if you calculate this in gold, or rather won… … .”
Cheon Ji-hyeon quickly finished calculating and checked the total amount, then gasped.
“… It’s over 140 million won… … ?”
Dojin also held his breath for a moment.
‘It’s more expensive than I thought. I ignored all the S’s and only chose A and B.’
The words “I’ll pick it up again” rose up in his throat, but Dojin put it back in.
The number of subscribers to Dojin’s channel has now exceeded 5 million, and it is growing rapidly.
The number of views is also explosive, so you won’t have to worry about money in the future. Probably.
It’s a bit of a hassle that I haven’t gotten my monetization permit yet, but it’s only been 3 months since the channel was created, so it’ll all be resolved later.
‘They say it wasn’t this tight in the past. This is why monopolies are a problem.’
There’s no point in complaining about YouTube’s monopoly in the video media market right now.
Dojin shook off the thoughts that came to his mind and spoke.
“Just deal with it.”
A few days later, Dojin was able to receive the equipment entrusted to him from the Adventurer’s Guild.
* * *
Dojin, who had completely changed his equipment settings, headed to the hunting grounds to experiment with new equipment.
[Red Boar – Lv.85]
The first victim is the ‘Red Boar’, a monster rumored to have high HP.
It was a monster that took a party of 5 people at level 75 more than a minute to catch.
A monster so tough that it is considered an elite monster among regular monsters.
The red boar turned its head as it walked slowly.
I discovered Dojin.
-Kwik!
The boy, expressing his displeasure with a short cry, began to stamp his feet.
Crack, crack. The hard dirt floor caved in from the bastard’s kick.
Looking at that, Dojin leisurely opened the magic circuit.
A black thread spreads out and wraps around the arm.
The golden magical power of Dojin appeared and disappeared as if it was coating the surface of the fully deployed “Sealed Rune Gauntlet”.
“Come, Fatty.”
The red boar started running.
A sense of speed that felt more like I was launching my body rather than running.
Dojin opened the Book of Truth and prepared for battle.
《Fireball》
Almost as soon as Dojin realized that he was going to use magic, sparks appeared.
The 2-star magic “Fireball” was created almost as quickly as “Fire Arrow”.
And as soon as it’s created, it flies away.
-Kwik!
The roar of “Phew!” and the red boar’s final words overlapped.
The combination of appropriate magic attack power and critical hit damage increase options to maximize the 100% critical hit option showed amazing power.
A red boar nicknamed “blood pig” because its blood volume was three times greater than that of normal monsters of similar level, blackened the target with one blow and turned its stomach upside down.
“… This is one cut?”
Even Dojin, who had sent the red boar to the goal with one blow, was surprised by the absurd power.
I thought I should have hit it twice, even considering the world event buff, but I was dumbfounded when I died in one hit.
“No matter how crazy the magic critical hit is, it boasts crazy damage… this is really crazy.”
The red boar was level 85, but its body was comparable to that of a level 90 monster.
That guy was defeated with just one 2-star spell.
Hidden classes, relic weapons, cash-based equipment settings, and event buffs that increase your abilities have made it difficult to maintain your strength.
Dojin’s mouth opened as he frowned briefly at the pig’s corpse.
“If all the seals were released, it would have been a 1-star.”
That’s a bit of a shame. Dojin, who muttered, had no conscience.
