Overgeared

The Three-Eyed Valley—it was the best hunting ground after the Boundary Forest (World Tree’s Forest) which Kraugel had recommended to Grid. Kraugel had been fighting the three-eyed giants inside it for a few months and finally achieved his goal.

[Your level has risen.]

[Congratulations! You have reached level 300 and achieved the third stats awakening!]

[For every point of stamina, health will increase by 25 and defense will increase by 0.9.]

[For every point of strength, health will increase by 7 and attack will increase by 0.6.]

[For every point of intelligence...]

“Sigh.”

He felt strength boiling inside him. It was a sensation that was completely different from a while ago. This was an accomplishment that he achieved for the second time, so Kraugel closed his eyes with a calm expression.

“...”

The past was drawn out in his mind. In order to get one of the three passive attack skills, Quick Command, Kraugel had been on a quest involving the seven malignant saints and had visited the deep mountain where the Red Sage was located. Then he’d met an unexpected person in front of the small cabin. It had been Haster, the protagonist of old.

Kraugel hadn’t listened to Haster’s advice, that the Red Sage was sick and weary, and hadn’t retreated. Instead, he had insisted on meeting with the Red Sage and confronted Haster with his sword. The result was devastating. Yes, Kraugel was defeated during the days when he was still called the sky above the sky. Back then, Kraugel had become a Sword Saint and just passed level 200. He hadn’t been able to defeat Haster.

Haster’s battle style was unique and creative as he used all sorts of weapons and could summon an ice curtain. His unpredictability and speed had disrupted Kraugel’s innate insight and super sensitivity several times. On the other hand, Kraugel’s erratic nature hadn’t worked with Haster, who relied on ‘sound’ to read the direction of attack and respond immediately. It allowed Kraugel to understand why Haster had been called the king of the gaming world in the past.

‘Now?’

Kraugel wanted to confirm it. Now that he had reached level 300 and achieved his third stats awakening, could he fight against Haster?

“...” Kraugel closed his eyes and the cabin deep in the mountains appeared in his mind. Haster was blocking his way. Kraugel fought him and was once again defeated.

“...He is the peak of the old gaming age.”

Haster was confronting the peak of the new age in order to win back his legacy, but could he steal the title from Grid who had already taken it? Kraugel closed his eyes again, and this time Grid appeared. The struggle lasted a long time until he opened his eyes again.

‘I can’t get used to defeat.’

Haster, Grid, and likely Agnus as well—they were the three people he couldn’t overcome at present. Despite that, Kraugel’s heart was filled with motivation instead of frustration.
