Overgeared

[There is a rumor that the procession to your stone statue is endless!]

[The Stone Statue of Overgeared God Grid has achieved level 5.]

On the day a new god was born, the statue of Hero King Grid in the Behen Archipelago’s Hall of Fame was promoted to the statue of Overgeared God Grid. The level of the stone statue might’ve been reset, but the effects of the buffs that Grid would get when the worship reached the maximum value was rather diverse.

[Over the next month, your dexterity stat will rise by 10% and the probability of making a high rated item will slightly increase.]

[Over the next month, your strength, stamina, intelligence, and agility stats will increase by 5% each. The casting speed and power of sword dance-type attack skills and the casting speed and cooldown time reduction of magic will increase slightly.]

The Hero King’s stone statue only increased the dexterity stat, the odds of making a higher rated item, and the casting speed of the sword dances. Meanwhile, the Overgeared God’s stone statue increased these things as well as all combat-related stats and the power of the sword dances and magic. The increase was still low, but it was clear that the new stone statue would exert a much stronger effect once it reached the level of the previous statue.

‘Good. My dexterity is lower so I should refrain from making good items for the time being.

The original statue of the Hero King was level 15 i.e. max level. The buff for the Hero King’s statue increased his dexterity by 30% while the buff of the level 5 Overgeared God statue only increased his dexterity by 10%. However, people could now easily access the stone statue (or bronze statue) of Grid. It was the aftermath of the Overgeared God’s temples being established all over the Overgeared Kingdom.

A bronze statue of the Overgeared God was raised in each temple, so it was possible for people to worship Grid without going to the Behen Archipelago. The level of the statues would rise rapidly (all bronze and stone statues shared the same level). Of course, the promotion of Yura and Jishuka was also a big help. Since the two beauties and the world’s greatest players started promoting the Overgeared God Church in interviews and on social media, the procession of people visiting the Overgeared God’s temples never ended.

‘It is okay to assume that the statue buffs can be maintained almost all the time as long as the Overgeared God Church doesn’t fall.’

There was no need to consider what type of god he was.

Since the buff effect raised combat-related status and the power of magic along with the production of items, he could be considered a versatile god of combat. It reflected the characteristics of the classes he currently had.

“By the way...”

At a border city in the Murray Kingdom...

Grid stood in front of an inn with an old signboard that said ‘Hillgram’ and trembled. Gourmet Dragon Raiders—would a dragon who existed since the beginning really stay in such a small, shabby inn? Sticks bid farewell to Grid who was seriously wondering if the information was wrong.

“Then I’ll be going.”

His tone and expression were stiff. He was nervous and his gaze toward Grid even contained some resentment. The gourmet dragon was the incarnation of madness who chewed on the roots of the world tree because he was curious about the taste. From Sticks’ perspective, the gourmet dragon was the enemy of his mother before he was feared for giving Sticks an incurable disease.

He didn’t like Grid’s attitude of trying to build a relationship with the gourmet dragon no matter the reason. It was an important task so he tried to understand Grid one hundred times. Eventually, he accepted it. It was just questionable if Sticks had to be the one to bring Grid here.
