Overgeared

“These jerks.”

Between level 398 and 399, it might only be a one-level difference, but the experience required to level up was at least twice as much. Grid had speculated this. However, he was mistaken as it wasn’t twice as much, but 10 times as much. It had been a fortnight since he had gotten stuck in the Ruins of the War God. Apart from when he visited Reidan for the Ultimate Transformation, Grid had hunted continuously, yet he had only gained 0.09% experience. Since the Ruins of the War God was currently the most difficult hunting site, this wasn’t a natural phenomenon.

‘It is because it is like this that I couldn’t level up by hunting Berith. Shouldn’t I level up at this point?’

Grid was well aware of his own strength. He knew he was much stronger if his level was equal to that of an ordinary ranker. Could other people fulfill the demanding experience requirement when they didn’t have overwhelming hunting abilities? Grid thought it was hard.

‘In a year or so, there might be a perception that level 399 is an interval level.’

There would be a period when most users were stuck at level 399. Thinking about it, Grid realized how precious a quest which gave levels truly was. At this time, the minus levels he experienced when he just became Pagma's Descendant was more precious.

“It’s hard, it’s hard...”

Grid was suddenly overwhelmed. He thought the operators would be giggling while watching him be in pain, and they would do it while ripping at fried chicken.

‘...No, even they aren’t perverted enough to watch while ripping at friend chicken.’

While Grid was shivering, a whisper came. The whim of the war god was still maintained, so the ruins didn’t restrict communication or magic transfers.

-Grid, Grid! I’ve received a request for a quest that looks good!

-Oh, really? Congratulations.

-I can do this with Grid!

-With me? Is it a cooperative quest?

Grid was intrigued by Coke’s whisper. He wasn’t curious about the contents of the quest but the rewards. If it was an experience quest, then he wanted to participate in any way.

-What are the quest rewards?

-One unique rated skillbook! Coke shouted confidently.

It was a chance to earn a unique rated skill! For Coke, it was a dream come true, and he thought Grid would be happy. However, Grid didn’t have a very excited response.

-Is that all?

-Ah, no! It also gives a title! We can obtain an affinity with someone!

-...

During the time he investigated the Overgeared Guild, the high ranking players had an average of 12 titles. On the other hand, Grid had overcome all types of trials and had more than 30 titles. Additionally, most of his titles were superb. He didn’t have much expectation for a new title. The thing that interested him was affinity with someone.

-Affinity with who?

-I want to know that too...

-Our Coke has grown a lot~ He can joke around now~

-Where’s our pretty one?
