Bab 18: Chapter 18 New Weapons
She cried out in pain as she saw something emerge on her abdomen. Her eyesight grew blurry as her vision narrowed into a tunnel.
Not long after, her eyes completely rolled back in their sockets and Luna passed out completely but not before witnessing the truth of the pattern that had emerged on her abdomen.
At first she was shocked beyond her senses as if her mind was unable to comprehend what had happened.
It was a red flame pattern that was of the same color as that of a brilliantly burning flame in all its glory. The flame pattern lit up the surroundings with its appearance and gave her body an unnaturally beautiful glow before vanishing into oblivion. It could not be confirmed whether the flame pattern had truly vanished or not since this kind of incident while not completely unheard of, was definitely very rare to encounter.
Zach somehow managed to come out victorious in the battle of lust and that too against a succubus. Zach had quite a feat under his belt now that he had managed to fuck a succubus to exhaustion, a race that was considered to be at the pinnacle of libido.
As if the system had been waiting for Luna to pass out, several system notifications rang out in succession and messages clogged up Zach's vision.
[You were successful in establishing sexual relations with a succubus who was full of potential and fire. Using her weakened condition you managed to bring out the fire element hidden inside her body and have successfully absorbed it.]
[Quest clear conditions for "The Fiery Succubus" have been achieved successfully.]
[Calculating your reward…]
[You have successfully unlocked next tier of advanced weaponry. Seal on the summoning of some advanced weapons has been lifted.]
[The weapons will always be available in the Weapons Arsenal and can be obtained whenever required.]
This was what Zach had been waiting for. He finally had access to advanced weaponry since what he already had was just basic gear available to all the players. On the other hand, Zach was feeling unarmed based on the fact that he had been the top player of the game and had never had to resort to using such basic weaponry even in the direst of moments except his beginner days.
Zach prayed with all his heart, knowing that there was no god out there with enough time to listen to his pathetic requests. He truly hoped to find what he had been anticipating or the loss of his virginity would have been for nothing.
Still he didn't rush. He had to wait until he cleared the notification screen to ensure that he didn't miss anything important.
As if to prove what he had been thinking, the system notification rang once again.
[Calculating your reward…]
"There's more?" Zach thought to himself with surprise. He had not expected that even after the weapons had been unlocked, the system would keep on calculating more rewards.
He opened the quest screen and checked the quest rewards for "The Fiery Succubus" and found nothing wrong. The reward for the quest was the unlocking of weapons and nothing else.
As Zach was anticipating the next reward with his mouth wide open in excitement, a new notification rang out.
[Hidden condition for an additional reward has been met.]
[You have managed to successfully charm the Fiery Succubus.]
[Favorability with 'Luna' has increased tremendously. Luna has unconditional trust in you and will treat you differently based on the amount of favorability accumulated.]
All the built up excitement went down the drain as soon as Zach saw the reward. Favorability with Luna had increased as a reward.
"This is far from enough." When Zach had seen the message that some hidden condition had been met, he had felt as if he was in heaven. But the reward had thrown him down into the deepest hell with endless torture and suffering.
This was probably the worst kind of reward for Zach in his current situation. While Zach had needed some life saving ability, fighting skill or some hidden weapon to fight off his enemies, he had received the least lucrative of the results.
Not only would Luna begin to rely on him more because of the reward, Zach might even have to keep her safe despite the harm to himself in order to keep her favorability towards him from decreasing. The reason was that gaining favorability was easier compared to losing it and losing favorability often came with penalties.
Zach couldn't afford one at the moment.
Considering that Luna was the only source of information in this new world that he had found until now. Zach had been in between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, he couldn't let go of Luna while on the other hand, he couldn't go as far as to harm his own interests to protect her.
Through the shitty reward, the system had at least made that choice easier for him. At least for now, he couldn't abandon Luna and had to protect her.
After clearing all the notifications, Zach couldn't help himself and took a peek inside his weapon arsenal. The available options among the countless weapons were clearly highlighted and their names were written in bold for ease.
Zach went through the list as his eyes scanned it for the weapons he was wishing for in his heart. His body language spoke legends of his nervousness. His feet were in constant motion at the spot like some kind of vibrator. Sweat covered his forehead which made his skin sparkle like diamonds in the presence of scanty sunlight coming from the cracks in the cave ceiling. His clenched and unclenched his hands from time to time in order to calm his emotions that were in turmoil.
Fortunately, the nerve wracking condition of Zach didn't last for very long. An excited yell escaped his lips as soon as he found what he had been looking for.
"YES!...YES!...YESSS!" Zach punched some imaginary enemies in the air as he screamed in excitement.
Luna who was still unconscious after their bout was unaware of what was happening around her. Even if she was conscious, it would have been hard for her to comprehend Zach's excitement since she didn't know the existence of Nebula System.
The corner of his mouth turned upwards and soon the smile turned into a fully fledged grin. He was satisfied with the reward after all. The system rewards for the quest was quite generous after all. He had not only found the "Flame Gloves" in his arsenal but had also found another item that left him breathless.
[Flame Gloves]
[Physical Damage: 750] [Magic Damage: 2000]
[Durability: 100/100]
[Weapon Description: A pair of flaming gloves crafted by a genius blacksmith using advanced techniques of magic forging aided by an A rank fire mage. The gloves despite being made of leather provided an unusually high defense and defense penetration ability.]
[Weapon Skills]
[Firestorm]
[Effect: The gloves have been imbued with fire magic of the highest quality and each attack has a 20% chance of setting the target on fire. The chance increases by 1% with each successful critical hit up to a total of 50%]
[Infernal Origin]
[Effect: The flames around the gloves will never harm the user and will increase resistance against fire magic by 10%.]
The weapon Flame Gloves was the most appropriate weapon for Zach at the current stage. Not only was it the most brilliant weapon amongst the low level weapons in his arsenal, the damage dealing capability was significantly high because with Zach's expertise critical hits were a piece of cake.
Zach could not contain his enthusiasm as he found the same skills attached to the weapons as he was used to in his previous world. Without lingering any longer, Zach dismissed the weapon details and focused on the other equipment that had managed to catch his eye among the newly unlocked ones.
[Artificial Skeleton Armor (Low-Level)]
[Physical Defense: 1000] [Magic Defense: 450]
[Durability: 100/100]
[Description: The armor was forged by an experienced blacksmith who wanted to give low level warriors enough defenses to fight higher level beings using easily available materials. Despite being forged from the bones of low level defense oriented beasts, the forging technique of the blacksmith has brought about the hidden strength of the armor. Uncharacteristically high physical and magic defense allow the user to take 3 blows from an opponent one rank higher than the user without losing durability.]
