Overgeared

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

It was a completely unwelcome quest. Was it because I didn’t like the rewards? That was impossible!

‘This reward is really good…’

3,000 gold was worth around 3,600,000 won when converted into real cash, which was close to 40 days of revenue for me if I worked without any rest. But the great thing was the title of ‘Earl’s Son-in-Law’.

All stats +20! I currently had nine stats in total: strength, stamina, agility, intelligence, dexterity, composure, indomitable, dignity and insight. If I added the nobility stat, that would equal 10 in total.

If all of these stats were given 20 points, it would be a total of 200 stat points. Every time I gained a level, 10 stat points were obtained, so 200 stat points were worth 20 levels. It would also be wonderful to have a beautiful aristocratic lady as my bride.

‘The road is open. But…’

There was a reason why the rewards were so good. It was an S grade quest!

‘Earl Ashur’s Fury was an S grade quest. ’

At the time of the quest, I was level 79 but couldn’t cope with the difficulty. I was killed many times during the quest and dropped down to level 73. In addition, the time spent was three months!

I was currently level -1, so I had no means of clearly an S grade quest with a time limit. Why would I accept a quest that would obviously fail?

‘Furthermore, my level will fall by two if I fail.’

My body trembled with fear and anger at the thought of my level dropping to -3.

‘But why on earth is it an S grade quest again?’

S grade quests were never common quests. Even the top level rankers who were above level 200 could only count the number of times that they’ve received an S grade quest on their left hands. However, I wasn’t high level user and was currently at level -1.

I recalled what Doran said:

‘As you know, the Yatan Temple is filled with evil energy. Ordinary people will become afraid if they stay here for a while. But I observed you, and you are fine despite all the time that passed. In addition, you can even manage to laugh alone. You, don’t you actually have great abilities?’

There were hints in these words. The quest seemed to be generated by staying in the Yatan Temple for a certain period of time without falling into the ‘fear’ state. My title and composure stat lowered my chances of falling under an abnormal condition.

Was it good? Did I like it?

‘Won’t I be screwed if this is a forced quest? The attributes of this title are crazy, but it’s like this game is trying to make me quit.’

I replied unhesitatingly,

“I can’t do it. Ask someone else.”

[The quest was refused.]

I refused the quest, but Doran didn’t quit.

“You are the only unusual person, so please help me. A precious person’s life is involved!”

[Doran is desperate. Do you understand his sad circumstances and accept the quest?]

The concept of the notification window was lost. Did it think I was in a position to take care of others right now? I immediately swiped the window away and said, “You are mistaken. I am weak and incompetent, so I won’t be able to help you. It would be better for you to take care of it alone.”
