Chapter 139: - Unexpected Gifts
?
Broken found himself once again in his inn room, and soon after, Freya appeared in the living
area.
"Where is Booba?" he inquired, noticing Booba''s absence.
Freya then settled into a plush chair in the center of the room. Broken, eager to check the rewards from the Golden Age Company, also took a seat.
He noticed an influx of messages, primarily from Booba, with a few from members of the Ass Guild.
"What do they say?" Freya asked, referring to Elincia and the others.
Broken scanned through the messages and shook his head slowly. "They don''t mention anything about that night. They''re just checking in on me..."
Freya nodded thoughtfully. "It seems they''re doing their best to respect your privacy, Broken, even though the losses they incurred from that incident were significant." She paused and then continued, "I bet Elincia had to strongly oppose theints from other guild members to keep this matter from escting further with you."
He was silent for a moment, pondering. "Why would they go to such lengths for me?" he mused aloud.
Freya giggled, a smile spreading across her face. "It means they value the potential they see in you... You might consider opening up to them. Who knows... you might be able to join their guild. They are a well-respected and influential group."
Broken was pensive at the suggestion but soon dismissed the thought, focusing back on one of the messages from the Golden Age Company. Skimming past the pleasantries of congrattions and gratitude for his contributions, he retrieved the attached items.
"What did they send?"
[4 VIP Costume Tickets]
[With these tickets, you have a chance to acquire a super exclusive costume. These items allow you to override your equipment appearance with unique and captivating designs.]
"Wow... VIP Costume Tickets!" Freya eximed when she realized what they were. "These are special items issued by thepany. While the normal tickets offer attractive designs and appearances, the VIP onese with even more extraordinary designs. Some of them even have stat increases."
"Really?" he responded. "What''s the difference between these costumes and the regr clothes made by designer sses, Freya?"
"These costumes can override the appearance of your armor, while normal clothes cannot," she exined.
"Interesting..." he murmured. "And I got four of them... Let''s see what items I can get."
He opened the ticket description, revealing several categories to choose from: clothes, shoes, headgear, and essories. As he scrolled further, he found even more options: weapon skins and special effects. Each category presented a variety of designs, ranging from ssic and elegant to futuristic and bold.
He paused momentarily and chose the ''clothes'' category, viewing a list of random options he could receive.
"Damn, they don''t differentiate by gender?" he asked.
Freya giggled at his remark. "You don''t have to worry. If you get women''s clothes, I''ll dly take them."
He shot Freya with a sharp look. "No, thanks. I''m not interested in that."
He quickly selected the ''Clothes'' category, using one of the tickets. An animation yed out the random selection, and shortly after, an item materialized before him.
[You obtained the Obsidian Shroud]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
[Obsidian Shroud - Clothes]
[Agility +10 Intelligence +10]
[Durability: 100/100]
[Weight: 120]
[The Obsidian Shroud is a luxurious and enigmatic ck robe, meticulously crafted for those who seek both elegance and power in their attire. This robe exudes an aura of mystery and sophistication, making it a coveted item among adventurers and spellcasters alike.]
Broken reached out and took hold of the ck robe. As he draped it over his shoulders, it clungfortably, the fabric falling elegantly down his back. He could wrap it around himself, now fully cloaked in the stylish, ck garment.
"You really lucked out on your first item," Freya said, giggling.
"Yeah, I think this is pretty cool," he replied, striding over to a mirror to admire his reflection. "At least now I can wear this and conceal my low-level equipment," he added with a proud smile.
Intrigued, Broken decided to use the rest of his tickets. This time, he opted for headgear. The random selection animation yed once more, and he soon found himself holding a mask. [You obtained the Eclipsed Visage]
[Eclipsed Visage - Headgear]
[Charisma +2]
[Durability: 100/100]
[Weight: 90]
[The Eclipsed Visage is a mysterious and elegant mask, designed to conceal the identity of its wearer while exuding an air of enigma and power.]
The mask was ck, covering the top half of his face and part of his head, with a design resembling feathers formed into hair.
He immediately donned the mask and noticed his gamer name above his head became blurred and censored. Satisfied with his acquisition, he pondered the numerous possibilities this mask could afford him.
"Mr. Mysterious, you could use that mask to rob a store without revealing your identity," Freya chuckled. "Or to harass pretty NPCs on the streets. I think that''s a good idea, too."
"Do you think I''m Goldrich?" he retorted yfully.
Broken then stowed the mask away in his inventory. "I''d better keep this mask hidden from everyone," he said, grinning widely.
Broken then pondered what other item he wanted to try for. "Do you have any ideas?" he
asked.
"Shoes?" Freya suggested, "Toplement the robe you obtained earlier."
Nodding in agreement, Broken initiated another random roll. However, this time, it seemed
his luck didn''t quite align with his desires.
[You obtained Crystal Elegance Heels]
[Crystal Elegance Heels - Shoes]
[Intelligence +5 Charisma +2]
[Durability: 100/100]
[Weight: 185]
[The Crystal Elegance Heels are a pair of exquisite ss shoes designed for the discerning woman who values grace and sophistication. These heels are not only a symbol of beauty but also imbued with subtle enchantments that enhance the wearer''s abilities.]
Broken picked up the ss shoes, holding them with a sigh.
"Broken..." Freya said, almost hysterically. "They are so beautiful... give them to me."
Freya took the shoes from him, admiring their form. "May I try them on?"
Broken nodded, and Freya eagerly slipped into the heels, instantly appearing taller.
"These would go perfectly with an elegant dress," she mused, a delighted smile spreading
across her face.
Freya twirled around, admiring the ss shoes, her joy evident in her expression. She giggled,
"I own something like this in the real world, but I''ve never had them here."
She then removed the heels and handed them back to him.
"Do you want to keep them?" he asked.
She shook her head, "Save them for someone special," she replied. "And," she added, "since
NPCs can also use these, that might be something to consider."
Broken took the ss shoes and ced them in his inventory, not yet deciding to whom he
would give them.
Broken then considered using his final ticket, albeit with some hesitation due to the less useful item he had acquired earlier.
"I think headgears have a lot of unisex options. You might want to consider that," Freya
suggested.
Nodding, Broken selected the headgear category again. This time, he was rewarded with a
ck crown.
[You obtained the Obsidian Sovereign Crown]
[Obsidian Sovereign Crown - Headgear]
[Intelligence +10 Strength +10]
[Durability: 100/100]
[Weight: 210]
[The Obsidian Sovereign Crown is the epitome of regal elegance and power. This ck crown,
crafted with meticulous attention to detail, exudes an aura of authority and mystery, making it a perfect essory for those who rule with both wisdom and strength.] Broken smiled as he examined the crown, pleased with this more suitable item. It was a crown
befitting a king, albeit one in a striking ck hue. He immediately ced it on his head and stood in front of the mirror.
"That''s cool... I think you look like a king with that crown. You should make it a reality," Freya
said, grinning.
Broken smiled and stowed the crown. "Let''s go, Freya. I want to test Gaia''s abilities," he said, and with that, the two of them left the inn.
