Overgeared

It had been six years since Satisfy started, but it wasn’t an official record. This was because the six years included the closed beta period most people didn’t know about. Consequently, it only became a special meaning for a certain number of users selected for the closed beta.

[We found the North End Cave!]

Finally...

[You have successfully explored every part of the West Continent!]

The 1st ranked explorer, Skunk, managed a great achievement. It was an accomplishment that none of the challengers had achieved.

[It is an achievement that will remain in history!]

[The title ‘More Than Anyone Has Seen’ has been acquired as an achievement reward!]

[You are the first player to acquire a Complete Map!]

[As a reward for the Complete Map, your ‘Highest Grade Compass’ is promoted to ‘Compass of Truth’!]

[New map completion rate has automatically increased by 10%!]

[One ‘Seedling’ can be planted in every region in the future. If the seedlings grow and become trees, they will be your eyes and ears. Destroyed seedlings and trees can’t be restored.]

[★A legend that has never appeared in history has started to quicken! ★]

[Skills experience, character experience, and quest acquisition rate will increase by 80% over the next 10 days!]

“Ah... Ahh...”

His hard work came to mind. Tears filled Skunk’s lightly wrinkled eyes. After walking on one path for a long time, he was able to achieve his goal and receive reasonable compensation.

“Congratulations. It is a reward that makes up for all the damage you suffered at the Sword Grave.” The congratulations came from Dog Woman.

Skunk received the handkerchief she handed over and smiled. “I can’t say that work was a loss. We accumulated enough experience and knowledge and received Grid’s favor.

“Does Grid really have good feelings toward us? Common combat classes make fun of us while Grid is a production class and a warrior who fights on the front line. He might wonder why we can’t do it as well.”

“No, I think differently. Grid understands the position of people like us because he is a production class. In fact, it is rumored that blacksmiths are the class that receives the best treatment in the Overgeared Kingdom.”

“Well, there is no point discussing it. Who will dare abuse our Skunk, who has obtained the qualification to be a legend and the Compass of Truth? In the future, won’t every player be crawling in front of you? Of course, Grid is the same.”

“...”

Certainly, it was true. After grasping all the terrain of the West Continent and the location of hidden pieces, Skunk’s value was now astronomical. Any ambitious person would be tempted to turn Skunk into a colleague. Skunk himself was also aware of this. However—
