The equipment set had three pieces total.
He checked the weapon first.
[Blackwater Zim Sword]
Rank: Tier-2 | Legendary
Requirement: 30 Constitution, 30 Agility.
—> +30% extra damage via slash & pierce.
—> +10 Luck.
<3-Piece Set Effect>
—> Crawling Pace: Targets of Tier-3 or lower struck by this sword have their movement speed reduced by 50%.
'Shit, I rolled a stat, and it's +10 luck?' Axir was dumbfounded. This stat was really hard to roll in equipment, and Equip Boost didn't always give a stat boost!
And the weapon's set-effect was awesome! As expected of the Legendary rank set.
[Blackwater Leatherbelt Armor]
Rank: Tier-2 | Legendary
Requirement: 30 Constitution, 30 Agility.
—> Physical damage reduction by 20%.
—> Magical damage reduction by 30%.
<3-Piece Set Effect>
—> Blackwater Mark: If you are attacked, the attacker is marked. Dealing damage to them heals you for 50% of the damage dealt. Cooldown: 2 seconds.
'Nice. This is solid!'
[Blackwater Zim Boots]
Rank: Tier-2 | Legendary
Requirement: 30 Constitution, 30 Agility.
—> Swimming speed increased by 50%.
—> Water Resistance +200.
<3-Piece Set Effect>
—> Fleeting Mirage: You can consume 10 Mana to leave a mirage of yourself and make yourself invisible for one second. Cooldown: 3 seconds.
'This set will help me against Tier-3 enemies, alright.'
Although the effectiveness of lower-tier effects was reduced on higher-tier targets, it was still enough for him to get an advantage over them.
The set effects of weapon and armor didn't consume any Mana, so that was a plus as well.
And Fleeting Mirage was a great set effect, even though it consumed Mana.
Suddenly, Axir heard a ding. The slot machine stopped spinning.
[Congratulations! You have acquired a 3-star card, Rocket Wings.]
Axir's eyes widened.
'No fucking way!'
Rocket Wings!
"Fuck, fuck, fuck…." Axir mumbled as he looked at the slot displaying the Rocket Wings card.
First, he got a card that allowed him to travel on the ground.
Then he got a set effect allowing him to swim fast in water.
And now, he just got wings to fly in the sky.
Luck was on his side.
'Wait, this could be the effect of +10 luck from the sword.' Axir looked at the sword he wielded and grinned. 'Awesome.'
[Rocket Wings]
Card Quality: 3-star
Cost: 5 Mana per second.
Effect:
—> Allows you to fly. Speed increases when flying straight.
These were not like a bird's wings.
It was hard to maneuver with these rocket wings because they didn't flap.
These wings were like a jet, with two fins that unleashed flames to propel the user forward. It depended on his body's weight distribution, requiring high coordination and agility to fly using these wings, which he knew how to do very well with his five years of experience.
'It looks like I might be able to get a high-tier material for the card constructor I got.' Axir's eyes glinted. He remembered a place that one could only reach by flying. 'To aim for that, I'll have to prepare and get it tomorrow.'
He looked at the time.
There were still over 8 hours of gameplay remaining, as people could only play for 12 hours daily.
Lastly, Axir hesitantly took out the Mysterious Deck.
[Mysterious Deck]
Effect:
—> Infuse 10 Mana to unravel a random deck.
For a moment, Axir fell into thought.
But then, thinking it through, he put it away.
There was another use of the Mysterious Deck he knew, a better use instead of randomly getting a shit deck.
It was just that since he luckily got +10 Luck stat from the weapon, he thought for a moment he might get a good deck, but then rejected this notion as the other use was better and would grant him a gauranteed high grade deck.
Since everything was finished here, Axir entered the exit portal that opened and arrived in front of the entrance of the dungeon.
[ 23:59 until the dungeon resets ]
Axir left and soon emerged from the cave beneath the pond.
The crocodile detected the moment and instantly rushed at him.
But…
3-star card, Blue-Eyed Marionette (Charm)!
The crocodile arrived beside him and nudged him like a pet instead of attacking him.
Axir grinned and got on its back.
'Let's go. Time to hunt the Swans.'
And so, Axir farmed all 36 Swans in the pond before telling the crocodile to kill itself.
[ You have reached level 20. You have acquired +5 stat points. ]
[ Congratulations to player Ace for being the first player to kill a level 20 Field Boss! +100 gold coins. +10 stat points! ]
Naturally, this announcement once again filled the world chat with chaos.
"Fuck me sideways!"
"Dude reached level 20!"
"I just saw him! He was riding a giant crocodile in the lake, and it was the field boss!"
"What the fuck?!"
"Holy shit, he is here!"
As Axir arrived at the lakeshore and walked towards the forest, he saw players arriving and those already there looking at him.
And then came the flood of friend requests and messages.
Everyone wanted to party with him.
Axir stopped in the middle of the lakeshore and cracked his neck.
3-star card, Rocket Wings.
Shrooo! Zoom!
Axir floated up and then flew away, straight towards Bulban Hills, where Selena and others were mining Flitz Ore.
Meanwhile, the world chat exploded.
"HE JUST FUCKING FLEW AWAY!"
"Gosh, he already got a card that allows him to fly. This is insane."
"We can get it, too! Whatever it was, he got it in the lake!"
"EVERYONE! I am gathering members to search the lake! Only players at level 5 and above can enter!"
"Level up first, idiot."
…
Selena and others were also looking at chat often, and seeing players mention Ace, they knew he was coming.
"Wait, he can already fly?!" Jason was dumbfounded.
"What the fuck, for real?" Yuta's eyes widened. "Dude is getting crazy strong, alright."
Suddenly, they heard a sound and saw Ace flying towards them.
Everyone was at different places on the hill mining Flitz Ore, so Axir landed in front of Selena.
But everyone soon gathered.
"You found a dungeon, and even cleared it," Selena said, her eyes twinkling and lips smiling as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "How did you do that, hero?"
"It looks like I finally impressed the princess for real," Axir said with a laugh and went for a kiss as Jason and others just arrived.
Selena kissed him while glancing at Jason with one eye.
"Alright, alright, enough lovey dovey. Axir, you did amazing, man. So what kind of rewards did you get?" Jason asked with an enthusiastic smile. "We don't want anything since you earned it yourself. We just want to see."
