[Hooded Zip Up]

Rating: Unique

Durability: 57/61 Defense: 10

* Movement speed will increase by 30% .

* Wind resistance will increase by 20% .

A cloak designed by a legendary blacksmith . However, the appearance is different from the normal look of a cloak .

Thanks to the sylphid scales being used as the material, affinity with wind and movement speed will increase . You can hide while wearing it, but the stealth will be turned off when an enemy is attacked .

Conditions of Use: None .

Weight: 5



The biggest advantage was the duration of the Hooded Zip Up . His stealth was maintained just by wearing it . However, it didn’t consume any mana because it wasn’t magical invisibility . Unlike an assassin’s stealth skill, it could be seen through . It had the disadvantage of being ineffective against those with sharp senses .

But this disadvantage didn’t apply on the 20th island . The hell moon only depended on sight . Grid rushed forward with his movement buff, and the hell moon wasn’t able to find him . Grid was able to easily break through the 20th island by avoiding the monsters scattered everywhere .

The Hooded Zip Up was the perfect counter for the 20th island .



***

[You have entered the 21st island . ]



‘Amazing . It’s really amazing . ’

Grid felt thrilled during the process of breaking through the 20th island . Was he admiring his own ability? No . Grid was admiring Kraugel . Kraugel might be a sword saint candidate, but in the end, he only had a normal class .

He didn’t have access to all types of items like Grid, so how did he reach the 30th island? His skills were truly phenomenal .

‘He isn’t only strong in battle and hunting . Kraugel is an overwhelming monster in all respects . ’

As he imagined the process that Kraugel used to pass the 20th island, Grid realized the weight of the of his nicknames .

“Challenger?”

Bini called out to the blank Grid . Grid quickly recovered and looked around . The foggy 21st island stretched out before him . He couldn’t see ahead of him .

‘I can’t even see my hands . ’

It was impossible to identify anything in front of him thanks to the thick fog . There was a sense of anxiety at not being able to see . Bini laughed at the anxious Grid .

“You are lucky to win the Fog Island . You can pass the 21st island for free . ”

“Fog Island?”

“It is an island with a store . ”

‘A store…’

Grid thought about the challenger points .

“Are you talking about the Challenger Store?”

“Yes, it is a store where you can buy goods with challenger points . ”

“Store… In other words, the emergence of Fog Island is random?”

“That’s right . One extremely lucky person met the Fog Island on the 10th island . One unlucky person didn’t see it despite reaching the 30th island . ”

‘That unlucky person is Kraugel . ’



Oh my god, there was a person who actually had worse luck that Grid . Grid felt sympathy as he asked Bini .

“So, do you know where the store is located? I can’t see in front of me because of the fog . ”

“It is anywhere you go . The store will naturally be waiting for you . It’s better to think in advance about what you will buy from the store . The store is only open for five minutes . ”

“I don’t know what it sells . ”

“Hehe, did you forget that I am the helper fairy? I have already figured out most of the goods sold in the store . ”

“Ohu?”

This person seemed quite helpful .

Grid admired it as Bini put on his glasses again .

“There are four types of products sold at the store on Fog Island . There are teleportation scrolls to the East Continent, elixirs, various class change books, and skill books . The class change books range from normal to rare rated, while the skill books range from normal to unique rated . ”

Grid’s eyes widened .

The items sold in the store were really great . They were rare things that couldn’t be bought with money .

“Among them, the item with the lowest value of the East Continent portal scroll . Maybe it’s sold because most of the challengers come here to find a way to move to the East Continent? But you can get it for free when you meet Sticks . ”

“Kraugel… The person who reached the 30th island got the scroll from Sticks?”

“That’s right . But luckily for them, six challengers met the store before the 10th island and purchased the portal scroll . They didn’t even try to challenge the later islands . Cowards . ”

‘It isn’t cowardly, but wise . There are seven users who have moved to the East Continent so far . ’

Grid thought about it as he moved through the fog and encountered a carriage . It was a pumpkin shaped carriage that emitted a gentle and calm light .

“That is the Challenger Store . ”

Grid received Bini’s guidance and approached the carriage . Various goods were on display in the carriage .

“Isn’t there a store owner?”

“No . It’s an unattended store . ”

“Ah . ”

If there was an owner, he would’ve been able to ask questions . Grid started to scan the products .



[East Continent Movement Portal Scroll]

You can go to the starting village of ‘Pangea’ on the East Continent .

Weight: 0 . 1

Price: 50 Challenger Points



[Elixir]

A medicine that increases a certain stat by 10 points .

Weight: 10

Price: 250 Challenger Points .



‘An elixir is so cheap!’

After clearing 20 islands, Grid had exactly 901 challenger points . It meant he could buy three elixirs that were worth millions of gold . He thought of the elixirs as cheap, but the reality was quite different .

The people fortunate enough to find the pumpkin carriage on the 10th island had an average of 150 points . In other words, from a general point of view, the elixirs weren’t cheap at all . It wasn’t a kindness to the other challengers of Behen Archipelago, except for Grid .



Grid took a look at the other goods .



[Lightning Swordsman Class Change Book]

Rating: Rare

You can change into a lightning swordsman .

Weight: 100

Price: 1,000 Challenger Points .



[Explosion Sorcerer Class Change Book]

Rating: Rare

You can change into a explosion sorcerer .

Weight: 100

Price: 1,000 Challenger Points .



“Hrmm . ”

Rare rated hidden classes . A year ago, they would’ve sold for billions of won . Now the value of a rare class had been greatly reduced . People learned that there was a very small gap between 3rd advancement classes and rare rated classes .

Rare classes didn’t go for a lot of money anymore .

‘Bini said that the classes only go up to rare rated . ’

Grid was disappointed after checking the list of class change books, then looked at the skill books .



[Dash to Turn the Tables]

Conditions of Use: None .

Price: 900 Challenger Points .



‘Pass . ’

Most players coveted rare and epic rated skills . But Grid had legendary skills and wasn’t interested . For Grid, they were just a waste of points . However, unique rated skills were different .

19th knight, Fulito . Like the skill book ‘Aura Festival’ that he dropped, all of his unique skills had an outstanding performance . Grid also desired them .

‘Aura Festival is rotting in my warehouse . ’

Aura Festival was a lesser version of Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Transcended Link . Grid kept it in storage because there was no reason for him to learn it . He waited for an opportunity to sell it at a high price .

“Eh?”

Grid’s eyes widened as he closely looked at the skills list . The skill he was looking at wasn’t a hidden skill that had a rare, epic, or unique rating . It was a normal rated skill that attracted Grid’s attention .



[Weapons Mastery]

Rating: Normal

Type: Passive

The Weapons Mastery skill .

Price: 6,000 Challenger Points .



‘Weapons Mastery!’

Weapons Mastery . It was a skill that increase attack power and accuracy rate regardless of what type of weapon was used . Only a small number of combat specialized classes could obtain it, and it could be called the strongest weapon unique to a few classes .

However, this crazy store was selling the strongest weapon .

‘I want it!’

Grid was filled with extreme greed . It was natural . Grid had the strongest passive skill that allowed him to use all weapons, so this was a ridiculous skill suited for him . His limitation was that he didn’t have any mastery type skill .

Now he could overcome that limitation . It was natural that his greed was boiling . The problem was the price .

“Why is a normal skill so expensive?”

“Originally, passive skills are expensive . Among them, the Weapons Mastery skill is the most expensive . ”

“Shit . ”

The store would close soon . Grid checked the time limit and was irritated .

“If you miss this store now, does it mean I can’t use it again?”

“No . As I said earlier, Fog Island randomly emerges . It might appear again in the future . But it isn’t certain . ”

‘Then I will wait for next time . ’

He had to clear all the items to get Weapons Mastery . The East Continent Portal Scroll was something he could get in the process of meeting Sticks . Grid decided to leave the store . Bini’s eyes glowed like lanterns as he looked at Grid .

“I was afraid that you would buy the portal scroll and leave, but you truly are the challenger who broke through to the 20th island . ”

“It’s a waste to buy something when I can get it for free . ”

Would he be able to collect 6,000 challenger points?

‘Even if I fail this time…’

He would get stronger and challenge it again . Grid was sucked into the gate .



***

[You have entered the 22nd island . ]



“Come quickly . ”

Grid was burning with enthusiasm . As soon as he entered the new island, he looked around the structure of the island as usual while waiting for Bini to explain .

Bini explained .

“Up to the 25th island, it’s a fight against time . ”

Then a mission was created to prove these words .



[22nd Island]

Wipe out the monsters!

First Clear Reward: 162 Challenger Points .



“Okay, I see . ”

Grid didn’t delay . He immediately summoned the God Hands, Noe, and Randy and went to wipe out the island’s monsters . Experience, skill proficiency, and challenger points piled up, causing Grid’s will to burn .

Four days later . Grid killed thousands of monsters on the three islands and finally reached the 25th island .

Sticks was waiting for him .

“You… You are Pagma’s Descendant… Even… Hell’s strongest… Demonic beast… If it’s you… Contaminated Hall of Fame… Arrived… Ugh! Kuk!”

“…?”

Sticks fell over while talking . Grid was nervous when he saw Sticks barely breathing in a scruffy robe .

‘Something is strange . ’

Grid knew how unlucky he was . The cruel reality spread out in front of him .



[A quest has been created . ]

[Save Sticks!]

★ Hidden Quest ★

Sticks’ illness has worsened after watching your surprising performance .

Fortunately, it can still be treated with medicine .

After learning the method to prepare the medicine from Sticks, take care of him!

Quest Acceptance Reward: ‘Recipe: Elf’s Miraculous Medicine’ will be acquired .

Quest Reward: Affinity with Sticks will rise to the maximum .

Quest Failure: Sticks’ Death .

[Would you like to accept the quest?]



“…No, why will he die if it can still be treated with medicine?”

He wasn’t convinced, but it was a hidden quest . The reward seemed special and Sticks couldn’t die . Grid thought as positively as possible and helped Sticks .

Sururuk .

Sticks’ face was exposed as the hood fell off . He was a surprisingly young man covered in sweat . He was a beautiful man with pointed ears .

“Elf…?”

Grid had played Satisfy for nearly two years, but it was the first time he saw an elf . He was curious, but dissatisfaction filled Grid’s face .

‘Normally, shouldn’t it be a female elf?’

The first elf he met was a male? He had to nurse a man alone on an island with no one else! Once again, reality was relentless, unlike the movies and manhwa .
