Overgeared

“So where is Grid and what is he up to?”

Every time something important happened and players who participated in an event got in trouble, this was the public’s reaction. At some point, it became a meme that mocked the so-called ‘Grid parrots’ who always mentioned Grid if things became a bit difficult.

However, it had been quiet lately. There were many hateful comments every time there was a chat message or post mentioning Grid’s whereabouts.

Why the sudden change in atmosphere? This was because of what Grid had shown over the past few months.

Grid’s battles were occasionally captured through world messages and epics. Ordinary people had little opportunity to actually witness his fights. This made sense, given that Grid had fought high-level opponents such as Transcendents, demons, gods, and dragons.

But recently, some people had been witnessing his battles. News of these battles spread. People’s hearts sank. Seeing Grid fight was different from what they had imagined. It wasn’t easy seeing him struggling to not die even though he’d gotten close to death several times. He looked exactly like an ordinary person. Still, he kept fighting, but he looked absolutely horrendous as he did that. Ordinary people couldn’t bear that.

Despite repeatedly showing hopelessness at the enemy’s endless potential, Grid always fought until the end. Even if he got injured multiple times, he fought back rather than backing down. People even saw themselves in Grid because, at the end of the day, he was just an ordinary human, just like them. The moment Grid took a step back from fighting, they remembered that his life could also fall apart if something critical happened.

Since then, people hadn’t been mentioning Grid as much as they used to.

“That’s good.”

Reinhardt, the capital of the Overgeared Empire.

Grid inspected the situation of the battlefield as soon as he logged in. Just by looking at the contents of the guild chat and the announcements, he could picture the general situation. The periodic correspondence from the assassins of the Overgeared Shadows revealed details of the war.

“......”

Several Overgeared members tried to approach Grid, who was reading the letter, but gave up and turned back. This was because Grid was virtually bare. His helmet was set to be invisible, but he wasn’t wearing armor, gaiter, gauntlets, or boots. Normally, they would’ve dismissed this while thinking, ‘I guess he is planning to craft some items.’

But this was a rare situation. Even with less than a day left in the quest to stop the erosion ceremony, it was unlikely that Grid would lock himself up in the smithy. On top of that, Grid had recently battled Garam, which meant that all of his armor had probably been destroyed.

‘So even the dragon armor made from Greed can’t withstand an Absolute at the level of a God of the beginning?’

The members of the Overgeared stopped by Reinhardt to pick up various elixirs, potions, and buff scrolls. They were about to suggest to Grid to return to the battlefield together, but they ended up leaving quietly. Another ten minutes passed.

“Chensler is finally awakening his potential...”

Grid read all of the correspondence and recalled old memories. Armored Cavalryman Chensler… Grid had analyzed his armor to gain his immortality, but he was shocked. The armor only provided infinite physical strength and vitality to the wearer. It provided no such thing as immortality. Chensler becoming immortal was a miracle born out of his loyalty to Juander. Miracles often happened in Satisfy.
