Six orbs floated around in a circle. The spun rapidly as a wonderful sound played.
If Travis saw this he would be shocked! Akiol had obtained an incredibly rare effect upon opening a chest. This was called Divine Opening, if triggered then it would provide the person with an item that would be useful even far later. This item usually would be based upon the player's class and current equipment! Items from Divine Openings were incredibly popular for the players that were lucky enough to witness one.
How had Akiol managed to trigger such an effect? It was because of Quolith's blessing! The death by Rygeth could be considered heavy misfortune. In order to even the scale a incredible amount of luck would be needed.
With the Divine Opening the scale has evened out!
The orbs moved. One hovered in front of every party member.
Akiol held his hand under it, the light faded and an item dropped into his hand. It was a silver pocket watch, on the back a red ruby lay in its casing. It was connected to a thin silver chain. Akiol fiddled with the watch, but he couldn't get it open.
In Jarvis' hand, an orb of several colors lay unmoving. Jarvis inspected it and grew excited. This was a monster pet egg!
About seven monster pets have been reported to be found. Similar to an Artifact, a player was bound to a singular monster pet. These pets would grow alongside the player, taking a portion of the experience gained. However they would provide a lot of help once they reach a certain growth stage.
Jarvis quickly bound to the egg, he was excited to see what would hatch. Even if it was a useless pet, he wouldn't care. Being able to grow alongside a pet was a huge opportunity.
Kan'na found a twenty sided die in hers. Upon inspecting it her interest grew.
[The Copy Die (Sub-Weapon)]
Every side holds an outcome, every roll for a different situation. Due to overuse the outcomes are now blank.
Attack:
???
Requirements:
200 Intellect
When Equipped:
+100 Intellect
+20% MP regeneration
Extra Skills:
{Die Roll - The die rolls, whatever side is facing up causes the 'outcome' to occur.}
{Outcome 1 - None}
{Outcome 2 - None}
{Outcome 3 - None}
{...}
All the outcomes were empty, but Kan'na had a feeling that her class would be perfect for this. If she could assign magic circles to the die, then it would be a free extra circle cast mid-battle.
Wrock had a strange fruit in his hands. He didn't even inspect the description of it before crunching on it. It was like his body needed it, for his being had moved subconsciously.
He then was hit with a barrage of notifications.
<User has eaten (Heavenly Body Fruit)>
<Due to the effects of (Heavenly Body Fruit) the user's body has been healed of all injuries.>
<Regained stats lost by skill [Final Fight].>
<Due to the compatible title (Fully Tempered Body), the title shall evolve.>
<Successfully evolved!>
<(Fully Tempered Body) has evolved into (Heaven's Blessed Body)>
Wrock read through the titles description was immediately pleased. Not only has his stats increased, but he gained a permanent damage buff!
He eyed a part at the bottom that remained question marks, but pushed it aside for later. He was intrigued in what the other party members got.
Yielya held two staffs in her hands. One she had been using, the other she gained from the orb. She inspected the staff and immediately grew happy.
[Seventh Heaven]
Rarity: Legend Creating
The staff that held together the seventh Heaven, what is it doing here?
Requirements:
500 in all stats
When Equipped:
+300 in all stats
+50% healing effectiveness
Extra Skills:
{Seventh Heaven: Creation - Creates a minor realm of the Seventh Heaven around the wielder. All Allies within this space gain a constant 5% heal every 3 seconds. All enemies will lose 3% MP every 5 seconds.}
Yielya immediately switched out the staffs, this one was far better. Still... what was the Seventh Heaven?
Tilia had a crimson cloak, the color was a single shade lighter than her armor. He inspected it before equipping it. It was an incredible piece of equipment after all.
[Cloak of Six Dreams (Accessory)]
Six children of horrid fate all had dreams. During their last breath they all wished for their dream to come true. With such strong dreams they manifested into this cloak.
Requirements:
None
When Equipped:
+35% in all stats
Extra Skills:
{First Dream - A dream of a peaceful world, devoid of all hatred and anger. (Removes all aggro from player.)}
{Second Dream - A dream of being a popular singer, with all eyes on them. (Increases aggro on player.)}
{Third Dream - To be strong enough to protect everyone, so no one gets hurt. (Defensive Skills cast time reduced, effectiveness increased.)}
{Fourth Dream - To be fast enough to save everyone. (Increases agility and dexterity)}
{Fifth Dream - To escape from this place, and to never return. (Teleports player anywhere within a 40 meter radius.)}
{Sixth Dream - For a hero to save them all, glowing brightly. (Summons the Hero of Dreams, striking the target six times before disappearing.)}
As Tilia equipped the cloak, she felt a little sad about the extra skills. It sounded awful to her, what had happened?
Akiol spun the watch by the chain as he watched his party examine the items. As they slowly equipped and stored the items he asked, "What did you all get?"
The party slowly explained their stuff. Akiol was pleased that they all seemed to be happy with the items. It would be disappointing if it wasn't worth anything.
Tilia asked, "What about you?"
Akiol stopped spinning the watch, "This."
Tilia remembered that Akiol didn't have a game interface. She then offered, "Want me to tell you what it does?"
"Not right now, there's something I want to test first. If it doesn't work out then I will be needing your help."
"Alright."
Wrock massaged his neck, "So what are we doing now?"
Akiol pondered the question as he looked over the destruction from the fight, "I suppose we explore this world. There's mounts and stuff right? Let's see what this world has to show us. No more grinding, no more training."
Yielya stretched, "Mm! I like the idea, sounds a lot more fun than dungeon diving."
"So it's settled?"
The party nodded, they were growing bored of the same thing everyday. It was time for a change.
Akiol snapped a finger, "Then we need some mounts! Unless. . . you all want to walk?"

A Crimson Immortal sat in a luxurious space. A complex expression remained on their face as they pondered.
A violent energy burst from them, blowing away objects of various types. They stood up, "That fool Rygeth! You actually used the power from that man?! It took us far too long to keep him sealed. I must confiscate any blood they have given away, if more of it is used we will be in grave danger!"
~ ~ ~
A man stood looking through a window when a message appeared through the system. A grin spread across his face as he marched out the room.
"Akiol. . . your little party has been found. I hope you realize the fate you caused them!"
The figure stopped as another message appeared. They smacked their lips as they quickly sent out a series of messages.
Someone opened the door, "Vice-Leader, is it time?"
"Begin the preparations, Guild Leader will be finished with his quest soon. We shall finish this as quickly as possible. I want preparations done in two weeks. Understood?"
"Consider it done Vice-Leader!"

Akiol was currently walked through a mall. He was accompanying Yielya on a small shopping trip. The party decided to go out for something after the battle with Rygeth, and Tilia recommended the mall. He mainly tagged along for a meal, for he was hungry.
As Yielya was walking through the mall buying miscellaneous items Akiol spotted a familiar face, "Yielya, tell the rest to meet me in the food court in about an hour."
Yielya continued to look at some items as she nodded, "Alright."
Akiol moved through the crowd of people. The whole mall was filled with noise, it had been bothering him since he entered. It was a mixture of people talking along with walking, and items being moved.
After passing by he walked up to the person he remembered, "Rebecca, I didn't expect to see you here!"
Rebecca was startled as she looked over to Akiol, "James? What are you doing all the way out here?"
"I moved over here."
"Moved? Oh! I think Mom said something about that. I didn't know it was out here!"
"I didn't expect to see you here either."
"Ah, I came here to meet friends. We are supposed to meet up in the food court in an hour."
Akiol's eye twitched, was it a coincidence? He then asked, "Friends? From where? I thought you were living close with friends."
"Ah. . ."
Rebecca looked a little embarrassed before completely removing any signs of her ever being so, "It was through the game A World's Legacy. We decided to meet up finally."
Akiol felt like this was no longer a coincidence. Was that God responsible for this?
"Oh hey, I play that too!"
"We should play together sometime, I'll carry you through some dungeons or something."
"Carry me? Are you sure it isn't the other way around?"
"Ha! Not with your skill, I am sure you will trip over your own two feet."
Akiol clicked his tongue, "Not yet, though I wouldn't mind playing sometime."
"I'll send a text to you whenever I am free."
"Don't forget."
Akiol bade farewell and walked away, he then realized he never told her about his party.
He shrugged, it didn't matter much anyway.
