This is a self awarness booklet for 

Audience purposes negativity to positivity 

Beginning to worth the time every moment counts.

this contains poetry, and quotes

(it told me to use a genre to create this booklet and it doesn't have nuteral genders suitable for all so i just choose male adudience but this is for all genders)

The two different magical rings shared two out of three sets of runes. The first set would enhance Lith's energy signature so that the mana flow originating from the crystals embedded into the rings would offer less resistance to the Forgemastering process.
The second set amplified the effects of the rings' pseudo core, allowing it to be temporarily boosted when necessary.
The third set of the magic holding ring allowed for energy manipulation so that the spell could be used a little at a time instead of being released in one go. Also, as long as the stored spell wasn't completely spent, the runes made it possible to recharge or amplify it on the fly.
In the case of the barrier ring, instead, the third set contained a complex pre-set code that would allow the ring to channel Lith's mana into a spirit magic barrier even if he had no idea how to do it himself.
Both rings required three mana crystals each. Two had to be embedded close to each other and facing outside, to project the mana outwards, whereas the third crystal would be in contact with the palm of the wearer to more easily draw upon their mana.
During the first day, Lith practiced engraving the sets of runes one by one, wasting quite the number of cheap rings. This time he couldn't use pebbles because, for Runesmithing, with the shape of the item he wanted to craft also varied the spacing between runes.
Only when he became not only capable of engraving all runes correctly but also to keep the distances between the different sets so that they wouldn't mess with each other, did he start working on the final hurdle.
Before attempting to Forgemaster the ring with the purified Orichalcum, Lith had yet to convert the ancient engraving method in the modern fashion. Old runes would be always visible, giving away the nature of their enchantment and betraying Lith's success in raiding the lost academy of Huryole.
Modern engraving, instead, would project the energy of the runes inward, making them invisible to the naked eye. The process was tricky because the booklet at Lith's disposal only explained the old method and he could only study Ruin to understand how modern engraving worked.
"Explain that to me again, please." Lith massaged his temples after one failure too many.
"Okay. Ancient Forgemasters would physically carve the surface of the objects, so that the engravings would serve as both a beacon for their mana and as a template for the runes. The downside of this method is that the runes are isolated from the mana circulatory system of the item, so they act as separate entities" Solus said.
"Modern Forgemasters, instead, shape their mana as runes on their own before applying them on the surface of an item. This way, the energy released by the runes is not restricted by the physical carvings and can circulate throughout the artifact. 
"The process makes them invisible to normal means of detection and able to alter the properties of both the metal and its mana circulatory system.
"Once the enchantment is applied, the final result is given from the synergy between the runes and the pseudo core, creating something that's greater than the sums of its single parts.
"The downside of this method is that it requires great focus. You must remember the runes that comprise each set and shape all of them to perfection at the same time. The slightest mistake in their form or positioning will lead to failure."
"How the heck do Royal Forgemaster achieve such precision with fake magic?" Lith asked in frustration.
The rings Solus had studied were among the simplest creations a Runesmith could craft, yet they required thirty runes each that were as small as they were complex.
"My guess is they have some kind of crutch, like the special ink they use to draw the magic circles for the Forgemastering process." She said.
"Solus, I love you!" Lith jumped up and tried to take her between his arms, but she popped away, letting the Forgemastering hammer fall to the ground with a silvery sound.
"I meant that you're a genius and that you may have offered me a solution."
"Meaning?" An incorporeal voice asked.
"I'll show you." Lith took a bottle of special ink out of his pocket dimension and used water magic to draw with it three magic circles, one for each set of runes. Then, just like when he was still a fourth-year student at the academy, Lith infused them with his mana.
The ink absorbed the mystical energy, acting as a template for their final form. The runes grew in power and splendor, keeping the right shape with minimal effort from Lith's side.
"I've never been so glad to have worked as Assistant Professor at the White Griffon. I know the recipe for the ink like the back of my hand. We can mass produce it in your alchemical lab." Lith said.
"That's brilliant thinking! Luckily we're both geniuses." Solus finally reappeared, embracing Lith with joy.
"Thanks for the compliment. By the way, nice double standards for hugs." Lith clicked his tongue, preparing for the final phase of the experiment.
To replicate a pseudo core with true magic, first Lith had to study its version obtained with fake magic. He used the special ink to draw and apply the runes to a cheap ring before Bonding it with the three mana crystals required for the craft.
"I wish I could use cheap crystals as well. What kind of madman would waste precious resources for teaching to kids?" He said in anguish.
"Green crystals are cheap. Also, pot, meet kettle. You went to an academy that 'wasted' a lot of resources on you, remember?" Solus said.
"That was a different case."
"Different how?" She asked.
"I wasn't the one paying for them." Lith started to chant the spell, preventing her from quoting his own rebuke about double standards.
The crafting went without a hitch, producing the lowest grade barrier ring a mage could conceive and turn their nose at. Lith studied the ring's pseudo core and how it interacted with the runes when and external flow of mana activated its enchantment.
"Now comes the part I hate the most. Prototypes." Lith sighed.
Prototypes had to be as close as possible to the real deal, hence to craft them Lith had to use high-quality materials. Otherwise, the gap in physical properties and mana flow between the prototype and the final product would add unpredicted variables to the crafting process.
For that reason, the prototypes required smelted Orichalcum rings bonded with blue mana crystals. It took Solus and Lith more than two weeks to fine-tune the entire process and iron out the final details.
He already had Zekell turn the piece of purified Orichalcum into three thick silvery rings, so he could afford up to three tries.
The first step was Bonding three purple mana crystals with the Orichalcum, giving it a circulatory mana system akin to that of a living being. According to the booklet from Huryole, the order of Bonding and Runesmithing could be swapped, but Lith had learned the truth the hard way.
Only when using outdated Runesmithing techniques the preparatory steps didn't require to be performed in sequence and that was because external runes didn't interact with the enchantment.

I don't own the cover but wasn't able to find the author.

The group arrived in the bar. It is a rowdy place full of laughter and smell of alcohol. The waitress and waiter of multiple race can be seen running around the place trying to fulfill all the customers need. Smell of food waft in the air and sometimes there is a visible spill of alcohol on the floor.

Sujin and his party trudge forward to the bar trying to find an empty table for their party to sit on. Looking around almost all of the seat are filled with none of the table unoccupied. Fortunately on the corner of the bar there is an empty seats which are enough for the party of 3 to sit. There is already a person sitting on the table though.

Sujin approached the person that is wearing a cloak and ask "Hey, can we three sit in this table ? All of the other seat seems to be insufficient or full". The person with a cloak nod 2 times indicating that the party can sit with him/her. "Great ! Thank you for your generosity stranger" Said Baranda followed with a big laugh. Emery lift her hand and call the waitress to come to serve them.

"Hi miss what would you like to order ?" as the cat eared waitress come to serve the party. She seems to be around 50 years old in human years you can see the hint of ages on her face.

"What do you have is there something sweet and nice?" Ask Emery with innocent expression.

Baranda look at Emery with a strange face "Hey little girl you don't go to a bar to drink milk yeah ?" with a teasing smile he pinched Emery's nose and wiggle it around

" Aaaang dong playng witng mah nong" as Emery speak in a strange tone due to her nose being pinched. Baranda laugh again and look at the cat eared waitress before saying "do you have alcohol ? Strong one with strong taste 3 pint !"

The waitress calmly took note of Baranda's order before looking at Emery, "little miss, milk yes ?" "YES !"

Sujin look at the behavior of his current party member and gave out a wry smile yet his thought is not at the table. [The first cat eared lady who serve me is one of great age already. Those lightnovel lied about the bar in other world, i thought its going to be full of pretty woman]

"Sir ?" ask the cat eared waitress again. Sujin snapped awake and say "Hot mead perhaps do you have it ? I could use some relaxing drinks" "Sure do, any foods guys ?"

"MEAT and.... MEAT !" Said Baranda
"Soup and bread" Emery followed up
"I guess Meat and Rice for me"
"Alright guys please wait for your order to come, the total is 1 Silver 70 copper"

Handing out 2 silver from the pouch Sujin have roughly gauge the value of Copper and Silver. It is certainly close to the classic other world scenario where 100 copper is equal one silver and 100 silver is equal one gold. Sujin smiled at the template look alike fact and remind himself that he is in another world. 

Not long after the person who shared table with them stood up give them a nod and then walk away leaving the seat empty. Having a time to relax and take a break the group start to change their posture while listening on tid bits of conversation that happens on the bar. They do not speak any words to each other as each of them feels the need to reflect on their current situation.

[I think i have 3 points to reflect on. First my skill, second the battle just now, third next action. Let me start with my <IEX> (inequivalent exchange). The skill is basically a cheat where consumable or item become infinite. I need to establish some ground rules first for consistent performance i suppose...] 

As Sujin started to make a mental note in how <IEX> works Baranda and Emery are jittery waiting for their dishes to arrive

"Here is your order, please enjoy" a minotaur looking waiter come and deliver their dishes.
Sujin's thought was cut by the dishes that comes and he snap his focus on the food.

"So we should... *Munch*... ask for a map first and ask about the situation around this kingdom, point is I want to hunt so let us ask for a map on hunting ground" said Baranda

"we also need to find ourselves an inn or a carriage that can brought us away from this place, the king is scary and the soldier here is scary. Sivaor is also scary. I hate scary thing so let us run yes ?"

"Problem is money, we got few changes thanks to the thugs earlier but we should really look for inn and carriage as Emery said. Let us split up after this, Emery should go to the Inn and Carriage post. I will split our current money equally. Baranda can go to a place where they have map and information on what is around this place. I will go to the market to see if there is anything of value or supplies in case we need to go out yes? Let us meet up on this bar again when the sun set"

Baranda look at Sujin and laugh "Good decision kid, your eyes looks like strategic hunter from my tribe"
"Alright let us do that ! although why do you need to split the money ? you can just hold onto it Sujin"

Shaking his head Sujin said "No can do, we just met for a few hours, due to circumstances we are together as a party. What happened if I took all the money and go by myself ? I do not trust you guys yet nor I expect you guys to trust me yet and I want to test something out by giving out the money"

Baranda look at Sujin's eyes intensely for a while a smile formed on his face "I don't think you are lying boy you don't seems to be the type to do so"

"Thanks, but let us split the money". The group currently have 16 silver after they paid for the meal. Sujin first split the silver into 8 groups with 2 silver each. The party gave him a weird look judging if he can do math or not. Sujin then give 2 silver to Baranda.

"Here take it" Another 2 silver to Emery, another 2 for baranda, another for Emery. [So <IEX> does not get activated when i give money to party member. Why ? Is it because money is not counted as an item? Or is it because it is not considered used ? assuming I have 50% chance of the skill activating..i should see the skill detail again. In the booklet given earlier that was something about personal interface, i suppose its the classic]

"Status Open" Sujin said 
"what ?" "Huh ?" Baranda and Emery look at Sujin with strange look as he is doing something weird while hovering his hand on the air "What are you doing boy ?" 

"Don't you guys have <Personal Interface> skill ? it was written in the booklet try saying something with the intention of checking yourself"

"Status Open" said Baranda, "Status Open" said Emery. After doing that they gave out an impressed look due to a windows that pop up in front of them. They started doing the same weird thing like Sujin. Sujin shake his head amused and focused on his current self

Being from earth he does expect something like an RPG.

Sujin - Human Race
Hp   33/45 || Mp 17/17
Str  9 || Agi 10 || Vit 7 || Int 17 || Dex 12 || Wis 15
Skill:
<Inequivalent Exchange> Normal Rank (G)
<Language comprehension>
<Personal Interface>

Sujin that attempt to click his <IEX> Skill to get further details 

Normal - Inequivalent Exchange (G) - 
Enables the user to use item without consuming the item with 50% chance
only for item with normal rarity.

*Palm Sized Stone has been mastered (+50% Chance)

[Oh normal rarity...what constitute normal rarity ? how do I know if an item is normal or rare ? There must be an additional skill for me to check item rarity. Also it seems my suspicion is confirmed, my skill only activate when i use the item....My machete is it classified as item or equipment i wonder]

Finished looking at this status Sujin look at Baranda and Emery and told them "Here is the rest of money split evenly 5 silver each, if you guys don't mind I will hold on the extra piece". They all nod to each other and stood up preparing to get out and split up.

Little did the party know that their action of opening status and looking stupid while clicking on the interface that they could only see attract attention of someone on the bar. 4 people that use similar common cloak. They stood up not long after the party stood up and walk out of the bar as well.

....

Sometimes being one of the chosen one is not a good thing. Reality is not game or light novel where you get a good cheat and then you dominate the world. Reality is like a lemon, sweet and sour. Where one mistake can cause a life to be reaped out.

In a world where blood and slaughter is common our protagonist will have to survive with non-combat blessings. He is not a fighter, he does not know how to fight. He is a project manager, office worker with mediocre to bad stamina. How will he survive ?

Rewrite of DanMachi: The rise of Death.

What if Bell wasn't the strongest person in Danmachi? What if there was a hidden talent that had to play down his abilities? What if he no longer wanted to remain in the shadows?

Jerome, known as "7" around the world was an internationally known mercenary that operated before the gods descended. He was slain by Ares and forced to reincarnate in the future.

 He was killed due to his distrust of the gods and the threat his magic would be to the world that they wanted to create.

What will happen when he  clashes with the Gods once more? Will one bow to the other or will they mutually ensure each others destruction?

Confidence is flexible. The miniscule of a moment can knock it. Everything becomes a question. Was it worth it in the first place? Is it just a happenstance? No wonder low self esteem exists. The planet Earth is blanketed by water with patches of land. It is either floating or sinking. The world can raise as fast as it can bury. Nothing will be there to rely upon.

Meet Clouse. He knows of the system. No, not the political system. That has its own category. He is shooting for bigger. The worldly pattern. He explores the little to the big spectacles. The slimmest of details people miss or a symbolic figure sending a message that cannot be figured out at first glance. He inspects these things. He lives for these discoveries.

And yet, his list has one mystery unsolved. Scientists have their theories, their conclusions. The big bang theory to the Earth forming itself. Clouse rejects those claims. More hides behind the wall here. In hand, he owns a thick booklet. The sentences tie together so beautifully, a baby would grin endlessly. Still, not every question he had was answered. It was only one of the biggest sources he had. It was not enough.

On a sunny, summer afternoon, Clouse leaves his home to walk around the city. He passes by neighbors of whom he knew for a few years. Little kids innocently played with one another and formed long lasting friendships, even though they did not know it at the time. Clouse half smiles. The cool breeze balances out the heat of the sun. It didn't take long for Clouse to adjust to the outside weather. The hairs on his arms were tickled by the wind, but, not in the way another person could describe it.

Clouse stops. He turns back to see if he was being followed. The coast was clear. Puzzled, he continues on more cautiously. The street grew longer once reaching the main road. Clouse felt the sensation happen again the minute he was halfway down. This time, a little push ushered him along. He soon found himself moving without much effort. The mechanics of the operation openly invited an answer. Clouse heard nothing. For now, he leaves the force in total control.

Twist after turn, the path in front unclearly came to view. Clouse raises an eyebrow. Nevertheless, he keeps moving. He opens the booklet and holds both sides of it. Instantly, the pages turn themselves. This is when he abruptly stops. There were a few blank pages in the back. Clouse carefully gazes at the words presented before him: The Highway of Holiness.

Suddenly, the gears turn in his head. Clouse looks down below and realizes the tracks in front have no cars passing by. He spins around. It was...abandoned. Or was it? He did not understand. Clouse faces front. The scene before him seemed normal as ever. Maybe there was a blockage somewhere. Clouse became determined to find out. He closes his booklet and starts to walk again.

No one could be seen for miles. Clouse nearly wondered how a city such as this can suddenly be empty of humans. The houses were the only indication of a neighborhood. In the midst of confusion, Clouse heard whistling. He turns, yet the sound belonged to no particular individual. The whistling happens again. Clouse was about to walk back to search for the culprit when the scene in front of him called louder. Pulled forward, "the force", as he called it for the time being, helped to guide him along.

Clouse could not stop until he reached the center of...where he happened to be. Silence surrounded him. Overcome with strong perplextion, the idea to yell in testing to see if another human figure existed did not register. Suddenly, the only resource he brought vanished. "Huh?" Clouse reacted. His hand held nothing now. Above him, the daytime star shined brighter. Too bright. However, no heat radiated. Clouse slowly looked upwards. He expected to be blinded indefinitely. Instead, he gasps. Then all at once, he's gone.

It takes a few moments. Clouse's eyes are slow to flutter open. Disoriented, he sits up and takes in the area. Nothing has changed. The man rises to his feet. Clouse still did not have his booklet, but what he did discover made him forget about it for a second. His body. Shocked, Clouse crouches down to see his human flesh lying motionless on the ground. He raises his arms up and sees that they are blue. Blue and wispy. 

"What?" Clouse could not comprehend this, "What is this?"

The world felt so distant despite his feet touching the floor. Clouse touched himself. Like smoke, he puffed, but only for a moment. He wanted to grab his booklet. He had no ability to do so. His mouth opened to speak on the matter. In came a bright, shining sphere, quick to meet his gaze and shut him up. Clouse moved back in caution. The dot stayed still. Narrowing his eyes, Clouse reached his hand out towards the flying sprite. It moved back this time. Clouse took a step forward. He reaches out again, but the sprite moves too. Slightly smiling, Clouse finds himself more enticed by the little fellow. The sprite takes a liking to him as well. It circles around him a few times before coming to a halt. Seconds later, it shoots off.

Clouse cannot help but follow the little wonder. He trained his eyes on it to avoid getting lost. As he kept going, he did not look down for a second. The road that once held his feet up started to disappear. The sprite sky rocketed upwards. Clouse tried to follow with his eyes, but the sprite was gone. Beside him, a staircase formed. Curiosity swirled from within the man and he could not turn this down. Despite fearing the outcome, Clouse climbed the steps.

One by one, each step went away when he left them behind. The blue skies withered steadily. Clouse barely made out the location. Nothing seemed familiar. Another push, this time from below, bumped him up higher. Clouse managed to land on his feet, but had to find his balance. The stairs were no longer there. Clouse spun around. All was white. He did not know what to make of it. But, He did.

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." [2 Timothy 3:16]

The words spread across the wall so boldly. So powerfully. In awe, Clouse walked over to read it. A smile broke out on his face. Another scripture pops out to his left, saying:

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." [Romans 10:9]

"Woah..." Clouse was speechless. He had so many questions that failed to be asked. Clouse needed to make sense of this. He knew that. Clouse snaps his head in His direction. Although not uttered, words revealed themselves. The man is slower to respond. He took his time to grasp the message written to him:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made." [John 1:1-3]

The scripture opened his eyes. New sight came to fruition. In a flash, everything zipped. He could barely catch his breath. Clouse once again found himself waking up. His dizzy head needed a few seconds to adjust. As he came to, Clouse looks downwards. His hands were covered by flesh. He touched himself and saw his skin. He scowers the area. All presented itself as normal. Clouse huffs out a laugh of delight. All those days of never knowing. All those days spent seeking the truth. Now? Now, he found his starting place.

Clouse nods to himself and picks up the booklet he left lying on the ground. More blank pages had been added. The notes he carried now only filled half of the notebook. Clouse closes it. The smile returns. Desire grew fondly and he wanted to know everything. He felt teased when he yearned for the whole concept. But, that was it. That was all that he could see for the time being. And...that was okay.

The various works that glorify, seek out, and give thanks to our LORD. (NOTE: Some pieces are not original. All will be given credit to in the title [the parentheses] should anything not be written by me).

"You're finally back. Thank goodness! I really don't feel safe staying on the ground for so long." The Distant Sea Bird sighed a breath of relief when it saw Mohai come back.
"Get that little fox out. After I make sure Seaville is in good condition, I'll give you something," said the Distant Sea Bird. It seemed to dislike unnecessary chatter.
All monsters had aggro radius, and so did the Distant Sea Bird. The blue fox might have fooled a player's sight but not a monster's eyes.
Mohai decided to trust the Distant Sea Bird because other than what he knew about the bird, the bird did not simply break the little fox out without his consent.
Mohai ordered No. 13 to bring the little fox, Seaville, out from the pile of rocks.
"Nerfero, hurry up and kill this bandit!" The words blasted out Seaville's mouth right after the cloth was taken out of her mouth.
"Seavile, mind your words. We Distant Sea Birds never participate in battles. If you say something rude again, even if your sister has your back, I'll have to blacklist you."
Nerfero, the Distant Sea Bird, was a little upset at Seaville. The little fox suddenly remembered that violence and conflict were taboo for the Distant Sea Birds. She knew that if she kept her feisty temper up, she would only be blacklisted by the birds and it would do her no good.
"Let me introduce myself. I am one of the Distant Sea Birds, Nerfero. You might not know us Distant Sea Birds well, but that's fine. Let me fill you in. We are merchants on the monsters' side. Compared to our human counterparts, we Distant Sea Birds never participate in conflicts or battles and we possess the best reputation throughout the land. I am here on behalf of Seaville's sister." Nerfero started to introduce himself and did not treat Mohai any differently because of his status.
"Seaville's sister?" Mohai suddenly thought of something. Seaville's sister must be the real Nine-Tailed Fox.
"Yes, I am here on behalf of Lady Sarona. Lady Sarona is actually watching Seaville's outing and she is interested in you. She wants me to bring Seaville back, but since she is your captive, Lady Sarona will do her best to fulfill your demands in exchange for her return," Nerfero answered.
'Demands? I want Sarona!'
Mohai really wanted the Nine-Tailed Fox on his side, but he knew that if he really made that request, he would be lucky to escape the Nine-Tailed Fox's claws in one piece.
Anyway, after Mohai learned that the real Nine-Tailed Fox might be behind this little blue fox, he had already started to plan his escape. He really did not expect the Nine-Tailed Fox to fulfill his demands in exchange for the little fox.
After all, with his current level and strength, the Nine-Tailed Fox could kill him 10 times over with a single finger. The difference in power and level was severely unbalanced.
However, since the Nine-Tailed Fox offered to fulfill his demands, he would not reject it either.
Seaville was his captive and it was only right for him to exchange the little fox for some perks from the Nine-Tailed Fox.
The million-dollar question would be what he should ask for.
He did not know the Nine-Tailed Fox's bottomline, and more importantly, it was only his third day as a monster and he was unfamiliar with this field. He had no idea what to ask for. What should he demand that could benefit him the most?
"It seems like you don't know what you want. Lady Sarona foresaw this. She told me to tell you that the biggest restriction for you is your race. If you want to become stronger, you will have to change your race. That is why she told me to bring you a precious mission scroll. If you can complete the mission on this scroll, you will be able to receive Lady Isabelle's blessing. Then, you will be reborn as something stronger. Are you interested?" 
Mohai was in deep thought as he pondered about Nerfero's words.
The so-called change in the monster race was actually the change of template for Mohai.
What Nerfero said was true. If he continued to power up the bandit leader template, he would become a bandit lord, at most, a Level 18 Boss. 
A bandit lord would be the peak of the bandit monster template. If Mohai did not have the Template Manager, after he reached the bandit lord level, his template would stop leveling up through normal means.
With the Template Manager in hand, the restriction was lifted. As long as Mohai could get another monster template and switch over, the leveling restriction of the template would be removed. 
The mission scroll that the Nine-Tailed Fox offered was very tempting to Mohai.
With the Template Manager, Mohai did not have to worry about being stuck as a bandit for the rest of his life, but a decent monster template was even rarer than excellent items and equipment.
The Template Manager required him to collect 30 normal monster templates and 10 Elite monster templates. However, even if he collected all of them, only a handful of them would be useful.
For example, the mole rats of the Abandoned Mining Area, the black jackals of the Monolith Stronghold, and the bear spirit of Maple Forest, their templates were only slightly better than useless.
Even if he could get his hands on the Magma Golem's Boss template, it would mean he had reached the peak in this area. If he wanted to get better templates, he would have to spend even more time and effort in other places.
The monster template from the Monster Mission Scroll should not be that lousy, and if he could get a decent monster template as a reward, he could save himself a huge amount of time.
If he was really unlucky and got a useless or lousy template, he would still be able to add it to the Template Manager's collection. It would still be better than having many pieces of equipment.
"I'm interested. The mission scroll it is." Mohai made up his mind.
"Great. This is the mission scroll. Lady Sarona actually wanted to give you some equipment, but it's really hard to find suitable equipment that fits your level. I only have these two pieces with me, so I'll throw them in as well."
Nerfero moved his beak and the rattan basket beside its wing opened up. He then gave Mohai the mission scroll and two pieces of equipment.
The mission scroll was glowing in a reserved golden color. At first glance, he knew it was not something common.
It seemed like the Nine-Tailed Fox was not lying. Mohai was looking forward to the monster template from the mission scroll reward.
As for the two pieces of equipment, one of them was a gray cross necklace and the other was a pair of shoes.
"I'll be taking Seaville with me. Oh, and that piece of Bloodline Enhancement Stone won't do you any good either. Let me take it from you."
Nerfero picked up the tied up little fox with its beak and tossed her into his basket. He also asked Mohai for the Bloodline Enhancement Stone.
Mohai took the stone out and gave it to the bird without any hesitation.
It was a fire element Bloodline Enhancement Stone, and it was indeed useless to him at his current level.
He might be able to use it in the future, but as for when, he had no idea. If he got on the Nine-Tailed Fox's bad side, he would never survive her fury. It was not worth it to offend her over a piece of stone.
"Oh, I almost forget. This is a Wind Conch Shell, if you have something good you want to sell or want a Distant Sea Bird to help you with some trades or requests, you can bring the conch shell to a windy place. If other Distant Sea Birds are around, they will approach you when they hear the sound, but try not to abuse it. Otherwise, we will view it as a sign of provocation and will blacklist you. Then, no Distant Sea Bird will trade with you again."
After the deal was sealed, Nerfero gave Mohai a gray conch shell the size of a fist.
"Thanks."
The Wind Conch Shell was a useful item. It seemed like Mohai had a lot to learn about the monsters.
Nerfero practically opened a new page about the Land of Origin in Mohai's book.
In the past, where he had been a player, even though he was a lot closer to the monsters' side compared to other players, he was only scratching the surface.
"I'll be on my way now."
Nerfero's big yellow wings flapped and brought Seaville into the sky. He flew away and swiftly turned into a small dot in Mohai's sight.
"Hmph! Sis is being too kind. Why is she giving that b*stard bandit so many good things?" Seaville grumbled from inside the rattan basket.
"Your sister? Kind? I think your sister would be happy if she heard you say that." Nerfero reacted strangely to what Seaville said.
Even the younglings of the Distant Sea Birds knew that the name 'Sarona' had nothing to do with the word 'kindness'.
…
"Oath Cross and Windy Boots. Two Level 10 Platinum level monster-exclusive equipment. The effects are decent and the mission scroll is legit. What is that witch trying to do?"
Back in the bandit's den in the Monolith Stronghold, Mohai was checking the items out as he tried to guess what the Nine-Tailed Fox was trying to do.
If he had just been a normal bandit leader, he would have been grateful for the Nine-Tailed Fox's generosity, but as a reincarnated person, he knew that things were more than met the eye.
The level restrictions on the monsters' side were quite strict. If the Nine-Tailed Fox was really that kind, she would not have been known as the vicious the Nine-Tailed Fox that every player was afraid of.
Besides, it did not match the image Mohai had of the Nine-Tailed Fox at all.


When an item known as the 'ultimate goal of all Bosses' appeared on a reincarnated monster, Mohai realized that he could transform into any Boss in the game.
The Endless Land, the Skeleton Sea, the Quantum Space, the Sky Castle, the Time Realm, the Primordial Ruins, the Underworld, and all the famous locations once ruled by the invincible Bosses would become his playground.
