Digitize: Rebirth of the Silver Death God

Chapter 63: The Difference Between Weapons

When Nero woke up, he found himself at the position of the old grave keeper, he held the side of his head as if he was still shaken up by the previous experience, but as his mind slowly cleared up, he noticed that the old man was no longer at his position.

'Hmm, did I pass the test?' Nero thought as he finally recovered enough to look around and scrutinize the area. However, right at this time, a sound had gone off in his mind.

____

Ding!

[You have completed the Special Weapon Quest!]

Ding!

[Because of your outstanding performance, you gain an extra reward! 300 EXP has been awarded!]

Ding!

[You gained the Rare Weapon Grezelor's Cursed Scythe!]

____

When Nero heard those details, he felt ecstatic as he gripped his fist and pumped it into the air, he wanted to yell Heck Yeah! However, he soon found that just that simple action was giving him strange looks from the others in the area.

'I guess I should go celebrate and check out this weapon in private...' Nero thought as he made a slightly embarrassed look and began to hurry away.

While leaving, he looked around for traces of that Frazel fellow but as he didn't see him, he no longer pondered about him. Soon, Nero had left Birgime's Graveyard and was now wandering on the bustling streets.

The time was now 8 am, as the challenge didn't really take up that much of Nero's time, so he still had plenty amount remaining to level up and start his other Special Quest

While walking past a few humans and other beings, Nero had a happy expression as he tried to stir conversation with his older self, 'Hey, I didn't think the rewards were so good, it even gave me a lot of EXP. I'm curious about one thing though, how strong is a Rare Weapon compared to a common one?'

Adult Nero glanced at him as he sat in a crossed-legged posture in his mind, he then replied, "A Special Quest is at the end of the day, still a quest, if you meet its conditions to a certain degree you will gain an equivalent amount of EXP. As for the weapon grades, they are like this, each weapon in this world is divided from Common, Superior, Rare, Sub Epic, Epic, and a few others that are currently far beyond your reach."

Nero had curious eyes when he heard those details; he calmly listened as he continued to walk. Adult Nero then continued to speak, "In this Novice Zone, in particular, the best weapon you could ever find would be a rare grade, which was solely up to the luck and talent of the person seeking that weapon. You see, rare weapons, unlike common and superior, aren't just limited by the increase in stats, but they are considered growable type weapons that grow to a certain standard once bounded to their master. Much like Inheritance Weapons, but let's save those details for later your Grezelor's Cursed Scythe is naturally amongst this category and is even more special because of its accompanying gift. However, I won't say much here; once you check it out you will understand it yourself."

'A gift? I must see what this gift is to make a little special from that other rare equipment. I'll test it out on my way to deal with that darn monk's quest,' Nero thought with beaming eyes as he picked up the pace, he once more spoke to his older self, 'Where is the Blackfern Hollows?'

Adult Nero hearing this smirked as he spoke, "Head out from the northern exit of Birgime and travel towards the north-eastern ends of the Greater Plains. I highly advise you to at least level up once more before you go there; otherwise, it's your fault if you lose a level..."

Nero was already thinking these thoughts, he nodded his head and replied inwardly, 'Fine.'

The two no longer spoke, as they were already clear about the rest of the day's objectives; they calmly proceed onwards, ignoring everyone else as they went about their day.

A ray of light flashed within one of Brigime's resting spots, moments after Avollo had appeared in the spot he had fallen asleep. He yawned as he looked around and spoke, "Huh? I logged in a bit late, and he's already gone..."

When Avollo said this, he checked the time and knocked his forehead with his knuckles remembering the time difference as he thought to himself, 'Che! I always forget these kinds of things, truly annoying. Oh well, I'll just head off to level up, I might as well start my own preparations for that DU meet up.'

As Avollo wrapped up his thoughts, he noticed that Ryo had also logged in as if he had only just arrived home. He stared at him and saw that he only looked his way once before vanishing like a blur as he left the area.

Avollo shook his head and spoke under his breath, "This guy... good luck finding Nero, that fellow has already gone to court death with that quest..."

When Avollo recalled dangers he heard about, he didn't try it in his first week simply because he wasn't interested, but those who attempted it all failed and lost more than just a level.

He shook his head from side to side as a smirk came on his face when he left the garden with a single thought in mind, "May the force be with you... huhu..."

In a pub, a large fellow with a square-shaped face was seated beside a petite girl with large eyes, but a sulking look.

The large fellow looked at the girl with a slightly funny look in his eyes as he spoke as if teasing, "Elly, why are you sulking?"

Elly looked at her brother with angry eyes as she complained, "Brother, mother bullied me! She said I didn't solve those math problems on my own!"

Raynas snorted as he replied, "Elly, who did you think was going to be fooled by such tricks? We all know your grades! Most importantly, as the one to check over your notes single the day you started writing, how could mother not know your writing style?"

Elly hearing this made an embarrassed look on her face as she lowered her head, she tried to counter, "But that's unfair..."

Raynas ignored her words as he spoke, "Come, tell me, who did you bully to solve your problems?"

Elly hearing this trembled slightly, she didn't look at his face but knew that Raynas would only get angry if she didn't reply.

She sighed and spoke in a mosquito-like voice, "I... I didn't bully anyone, I only asked for help,"

Raynas hearing this was alarmed, he never thought she would do something so mannerly, he spoke, "Oh, and who did you politely ask for help?"

Elly started fidgeting at those words, and her fingers placed together as her face was now completely red, she spoke in an even smaller voice, "I-It was... that... S-Silver Boy..."

Raynas was initially thinking of teasing her, but as he saw her expression, his mouth opened with shock. As a man of his age, how could he not know what this type of flustered behavior meant?

'How can this be? I... I must share this with my mother at all costs!' Raynas thought with his mind, sounding off alarms like a base camp.

However, his expression on the outside remained normal, as if he didn't bother him he smiled and patted his sister's head while speaking, "Haha, that's good Elly, I'm glad that you are finally learning to curb that anger of yours keep this up and maybe mother will change her mind..."

When Elly heard this, she spoke in surprise, "Really?"

"Yes, she most certainly will," Raynas replied with a warm light in his eyes, hiding his other thoughts.

Elly was excited, she wanted to shout but she calmed herself, reciting her mother's mantra of calmness and gracefulness. Having cleared her thoughts, she looked at Raynas with beaming eyes and spoke, "Brother, let's go, I want to hurry and level..."

Raynas nodded his head at this and spoke, "Alright, let's head to that special region for now..."

Not long after, the two then left the pub as they began their day's adventure for mass leveling. The sky grew brighter and brighter as the day pressed onwards.

Author correction: So I made a mistake, but this happens when you are doing too much at once lol, that Death Guard wasn't a Quasi Greater monster, it's monster at the middle levels of common grade. Please, forgive this large mistake, I have already updated it.
