Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 63
Episode 63
“Dio? “Are you out of your mind?”
Dio, who was in a daze, came to his senses when he heard a voice calling him and looked around.
This is not the painter who spoke with Solari.
Dio looked at Kalphael calling out to him from the side.
“Are you okay? “I was surprised that you suddenly appeared.”
“Why are you surprised that you pushed me away?”
“Haha sorry about that.”
Dio wanted to punch Kalfael in the face for trying to get away with it, but he barely held back.
Anyway, if it weren’t for him, the meeting with Solari would have been delayed.
“Anyway, I’m glad you had a good trip. Did you meet him well? “Would you like to correct it?”
Dio, who knew that the person Kalphael was talking about was Solari, could not bring himself to say that she had passed on her power and disappeared.
“Well, that’s right.”
“I haven’t seen him in a thousand years, so my memories are vague. Until now, I have only listened to his voice and carried out his revelations.”
Diriring~
“Now, let’s sing for him. The keys of glory see him.”
Kalfael tried to start playing by plucking the lute, but Dio blocked his arm with an uncertain expression.
“I don’t feel like it right now.”
“Oh, was I really shy?”
“That’s not it. “I have a lot to think about, so I’d like to be alone for a while.”
“Haha, I guess I was oblivious. “These are probably things you don’t want to discuss with me, right?”
Kalfael quietly stepped back.
He was an unpredictable person.
I’m sure he was curious about his conversation with the Sun God and the Key, whom he had worshiped his whole life, but I didn’t ask him anything about it.
Diririn~
Kalfael plucks the strings of his lute and slowly disappears into the darkness.
Only after Kalphael had completely disappeared did Dio look at the passage leading to Solari’s garden.
The white portal that Dio had mistaken for a dimensional gap no longer existed.
There was only a lonely space left inside the magnificent arch-shaped gate.
‘Solari…’
Solari repeatedly said that Dio did not have to follow the path of a great warrior.
The fate of the Great Warrior is a dangerous task that ultimately requires him to go to the forefront and fight both the Demon King and Luna at the same time.
Nevertheless, the decisive reason why Dio accepted Solari’s offer was because of his short conversation with her.
* * *
“Are you the one who brought me here?”
The ‘place’ Dio was referring to was not Solari’s flower garden.
Solari, who called herself a dimension-crosser from the beginning.
It was a question that arose out of suspicion that she might have brought him there.
[That’s not true. D.I.O. I know what you want. I don’t know, but there must be a reason why you came here.]
“Then…the reason could be to create an era of peace.”
[It is quite possible for now. The situation itself where I feel your presence as the key holder. It could be someone’s intention.]
The intention was most likely to mean stopping the Demon King and Luna.
“If I solve what that person wants… won’t we be able to go back to where we came from?”
[I can’t be sure about that. However, if an era of true peace is achieved, perhaps… I can tell you that this is a way to get closer to the truth.]
Truth.
That’s what Dio wants most.
Dio’s conversation with Solari reminded him of a goal he had given up on at some point.
The goal is to become strong just to survive.
But not anymore.
Even in order to return to the original world.
Even to find out the truth.
The goal of defeating the Demon King and Luna became clear.
* * *
Kalphael, who is quick-witted, must have made room for me.
Dio opened the system window to check the abilities he gained through meeting Solari.
A system window that provides detailed information on all of Dio’s abilities, starting with the status window.
Dio left behind what he had already confirmed before meeting Solari.
Right now, the top priority is to check information about the new abilities provided by Solari.
—————
[Class-exclusive characteristic]
[Solari’s Blessing]
You have received the blessing of the sun god Solari. The amount of points earned is doubled.
—————
‘Double bonus points?’
Dio, who confirmed the characteristics, was beyond surprised and made an expression of bewilderment.
‘Is this the power of God that has existed since Genesis?’
Dio’s appreciation of Solari’s blessing, which is simple and clear yet incredibly effective, was truly incredible.
The bonus points given to the player per level are 5.
However, it was said that Dio’s character, who received Solari’s blessing, would gain 10 points from now on.
That’s not all.
It is ‘the amount of points earned’.
Aside from level up points, there are other ways to increase stat points, which means they also increase twice.
‘You’re crazy.’
Even if you just do the math, if Dio grows to level 350, he will have the same stats as his existing max level character.
‘If you do this, there is no chance of winning at all. If I grow to max level…’
The core of Solari’s blessing is that it expands the player’s maximum growth value.
This was an ability that Dio had never seen before in the process of raising seven characters to max level.
‘But I can’t just like it. In the end, it’s a growth trait, so it doesn’t mean you become stronger right away.’
Dio was aware that he would have no choice but to be hostile towards the Luna Church due to what had happened so far.
However, Dio had a conversation with Saint Kaleina in mind.
They don’t remember, but when they played as a max level character, Dio was Luna’s comrade in life and death.
However, in Solari’s confirmation, Dio concluded that it was impossible to join them.
‘The system targeted the Demon King and Luna at the same time. In the end, an all-out war with them will be inevitable.’
Dio thought it would be best to avoid friction with the Luna Church as much as possible until he grew up.
If you think about Galeto, Dio’s power is still far inferior to Luna’s five swords.
‘That’s all about the characteristics, now the skills…’
—————
[NEW!] [Blessing of the Sun]
Effect:
– Inventory is expanded. Storage space limitations disappear.
Items in the player’s inventory can be imbued with Sun’s Blessing.
The player specifies the desired item and strengthens it.
Number of items that can be specified: 2
Cooldown: 7 days
—————
Dio reads in detail the new skill that seems to be a blessing from the ‘sun’, the source of Solari’s power. saw.
‘Infinite inventory! This is awesome!’
Dio was always disappointed that he could only take some of his items from the village warehouse.
But now you don’t have to worry about that.
The inventory expanded with the blessing of the sun will be able to contain all of Dio’s items.
It’s literally like a walking warehouse.
‘Enhance items. It doesn’t tell you how it’s strengthened.’
There was no way for Dio to immediately check whether it simply increased the item’s grade or increased its effect.
‘Shall we immediately check how it is strengthened?’
It is a skill that is activated immediately when Dio specifies it.
Dio searched for useful items among the items he had taken from the Estel Room.
‘Does this mean that it strengthens everything even if it’s not an equipment item?’
After thinking for a while, Dio decided to try strengthening one suitable consumable item for the experiment.
The item he chose was none other than a potion.
For Dio, potions were appropriate as experimental items.
Even if the strengthening effect is not as good as expected, potions are an item that Dio always uses.
‘No matter how bad you are, it’s still better than the basics. Is there such a thing as failure?’
Dio looked at the skill description again to see if there was a chance of success in strengthening, but he didn’t see any such text.
Confirming that there was no problem, Dio pressed his finger on a high-quality potion that restored 20% of his health.
[‘Blessing of the Sun’ is used.]
[‘Advanced Potion’ → ‘Advanced Sun Potion’ enhancement completed!]
‘Oh, it’s like this.’
Dio confirmed the effectiveness of the ‘Advanced Sun Potion’.
—————
[Advanced Potion of the Sun]
Type: Potion
Effect: When drunk, 25% of stamina is recovered.
—————
‘The recovery amount has increased by 5%. Does this mean that overall performance has increased by 25%?
Dio was lost in thought for a moment as he was uncertain whether he should be disappointed or happy.
I don’t know if it was because the target was a potion, but considering the cooldown of one week, it was a waste to use it on any item.
Still, there is one clear advantage.
‘It’s a strengthening that doesn’t fail. The blacksmiths will cry.’
I’ll have to experiment a little more, but anyway, it’s still going to be strengthened, so I decided to take it as a positive thing and save the remaining one.
Regardless, Sun’s Blessing may have been the most suitable skill for Dio, who has the characteristics of a warehouse character.
The fact that Dio’s legendary level or higher items were strengthened twice a week was truly an incredible ability.
‘Are you looking forward to this?’
Although Dio was calming down, he couldn’t help but feel trembled.
Since I was quite surprised when I first met Solari, I was unable to express my joy about the newly acquired class and skills.
However, these abilities received from Solari can naturally be considered the best skills Dio has ever acquired.
This includes all the characters that Dio has developed so far.
“Phew-”
After checking his condition, Dio relieved his nervousness and took a deep breath.
Although my business with Solari was over, my search for Temberk was not yet over.
Because I had to gain all the knowledge experience points here.
Dio looked to see if there was anything more to the magnificent mural, but found nothing more.
‘Shall we stop by the other floors?’
Dio went up the spiral staircase again, lighting up the surroundings with a lantern.
‘It seems like they don’t really care about me going out.’
Kalphael, who manages the lowest floor where the murals are located, did nothing to stop Dio from wandering around.
Feeling more at ease, Dio walked down the hallway on the upper floor and immediately found a magnificent iron door.
“What’s this?”
Although it is not as big as Solari’s room hidden in the mural, the iron door is considerably larger than the doors of other rooms.
‘It looks like a pretty spacious room? There are definitely a lot of strange things in the underground facility.’
Dio looked at the iron door and placed his hand on the doorknob.
The iron
door, which must have been quite heavy, moved surprisingly easily.
Dio immediately applied his strength and pushed the iron door, and immediately a system window notifying him that he had reached a new area greeted him.
[Entered the usurper’s room.]
[New space discovered.]
[81372 knowledge experience gained.]
‘Who is the usurper talking about?’
At the moment I was wondering who was related to the room name given by the system.
“Dio?”
“sepia?”
