10 Ch 10 : The Stone
[ DING!!! Welcome to the Dungeon Master system.]
[ In this Dungeon Master System or will be shortened by DMS in the future, the host could edit the layout of his dungeon, manage resources, place monster or guardian in the room, or even make a rest area for the adventurer.]
[The host could also use DMS to open the shop and purchased the items displayed in the list with the DM currencies.]
[Another feature is to access the rankings of each and every Dungeon Master in the universe. For each world, the top ranks dungeon master will be given a reward each month.]
[Now it is the start of your journey to embark as the best dungeon master like no one ever was!]
[La-lala-lalala-la-la *Dungeon Master hymn soundtrack*]
.
"..."
Ray didn't know why, but the feelings he got from this Dungeon Master System were like the feeling he got when his middle-school friend recommended him to play a third-rate game in NES.
The explanation was pretty okay, but what is wrong with that soundtrack? It sounds like a straight cheap ripoff from the jumping mustache guy that eats mushroom games.
However, now is not the right time to think about that. He wanted to quickly solve all his business in this dungeon, so he could return to the orphanage and rest.
' System, open the previous quest reward for me.'
.
[ Sure, wait a minute.]
[ The host request has been approved, the reward will be issued.]
[ The previous result of the mission: 13 Death Count, Baby spirit wolf (Fenrir bloodline-minor) tamed as a boss monster, 129 common Danger beast killed, Man and Stone achievement get.]
[ Rewards: 30,000 EXP, 12 stats points, Natal weapon: The Stone, Bloodline awakening potion x1]
.
[ DING!!! Because you are the first dungeon master in this world, extra rewards will be given.]
[ Spirit ore mine (Small) x1, Spirit pool (Small)x1, Kitchen x1, Empty room x3, DM Currency x5000, Special skill: Appraisal]
.
[ DING!!! You are the number 10,000th Dungeon Master in all the Multiverse, a special reward will be given.]
[ Rewards: *Secret*]
.
[ Dungeon (no-name) Lv. 1]
[ Owner: Ray Sanjaja]
[ A no-name dungeon that had just recently opened.]
.
A rush of information and rewards surged into Ray's mind.
" Fiuh... That was a bit too much. But for the mission to give a natal weapon. I never thought it will be this generous."
Ray's mood instantly went up when he thought about the natal weapon. One must know that Natal weapon was normally exclusive only to the high-ranking awakeners in this world. Those with a super-strong bloodline sometimes would awaken the weapon from their predecessor.
For someone like Ray to awaken a Natal weapon, it was only a dream before. But now he really gets his own natal weapon because of the system.
Another thing that uplifted Ray's mood was the bloodline awakening potion. From the name, it would be pretty easy to guess the use of the item, and looking at the 'Fenrir bloodline-minor', it seems like the item was tailor-made for him.
Ray didn't waste any more time standing still and quickly asked the system to retrieve the two items for him.
" System, give me the Natal Weapon and Bloodline awakening potion."
[ Sure host.]
And instantly, ahead of Ray, two items appeared. One in the shape of a group of ten pebbles, and one is a bottle that should be the Bloodline awakening potion.
Ray then took the Bloodline awakening potion and gave it to the wolf-pup. The wolf-pup is his boss-monster now, so the stronger the wolf-pup gets, the better it will be to Ray.
After ensuring that the wolf-pup had taken the Bloodline-awakening potion and ensuring that everything was okay, Ray now shifted his focus at his Natal weapon.
At first, he was a bit pessimistic at this Natal weapon. From what he has heard, all the Natal weapon that has been revealed so far was an iconic weapon of a renowned figure in the past. Like the fan of Zhuge-Liang, the spear of Chu-Chulain, or even the Excalibur of King Arthur.
But why was the Natal weapon in front of him is in the form of ten pebbles? What kind of renowned figure used pebbles as his weapon?
But Ray still tried to be positive. Maybe the Natal weapon in front of him was still in its unawakened state. Therefore it hasn't unlocked its true form. He dropped some blood in the group of pebbles like what the instruction said in his mind.
When the Natal weapon appeared from the system, a layer of instruction also appeared in Ray's mind, telling him the step to make the Natal weapon his.
*Plink!*
Ray's blood dropped on the group of pebbles, and immediately the group of pebbles started to tremble.
*Rumble!!!* *Rumble!!!*
' It's starting to awaken.'
Time passed seconds by seconds and finally..
ZRINGGGG!!!!
[ You have successfully bound Natal weapon: The stone]
" Eh?? You're finally done?"
Wasn't this a bit anti-climatic? Ray had thought that his Natal weapon will grow into a super-cool one, but wasn't this just a normal pebbles?
Ray took called the Natal weapon, and a group of ten pebbles instantly appeared on his hand. It seems the performance before was the will of something that has been trapped in this group of pebbles before it became Ray's possession.
" If I'm not wrong, I also gained the special skill appraisal from the first dungeon master reward back then. Let's try to use it on this thing."
He focused his view on the group of pebbles, and a panel of words started to be shown in Ray's eyes.
.
[ Natal Weapon: The stone]
[ Evolvability: Level not enough ]
[ Special effect: Blessing of stone, All stats+3]
[ Special effect(2): one out of ten attacks using the pebbles will deal true damage.]
[ Special effect(3): Cammuflation, This Natal weapon won't be detected by other person appraisal skills.]
.
Wow, the effect of these pebbles was a lot better than what Ray have thought. Especially the last effect of camouflaging, with this Ray won't be afraid to display his natal weapon anymore.
