Shadowhide Leather Vest

Adam's body surged with an overwhelming rush of energy and power. Never before had he experienced such rapid leveling, ascending to an impressive Level 16 in his chosen class. Doubt lingered in his mind, wondering if anyone else on Earth had achieved such a feat on the very first day the system appeared. Yet, he remained uncertain about the situation beyond the confines of the dungeon.

Glancing at the dungeon clock, Adam noted the time—22:44. He had managed to clear the dungeon within the 24-hour limit, but to his surprise, he had not been teleported out. Realizing that the dungeon was not yet fully cleared, he surveyed his surroundings. He noticed a radiant orb of light materializing behind the lifeless treant. Instinctively, he understood that it held the key to his escape or, perhaps, the continuation to the next floor, if there was one.

Examining the dead treant, Adam could still sense the lingering vitality within the tree-like creature. It was an odd sensation as if he could perceive the energy flowing through its branches. However, he also recognized that this vitality was gradually fading. If his intuition served him right, the treant would wither away completely once its life force was depleted.

Without hesitation, Adam approached one of the thickest branches of the treant and swiftly severed it. He marveled at the sizable, five-meter-long branch before stowing it away in his storage.

Next, he cautiously approached the shimmering orb, extending his right hand toward it. Upon making contact, a new message from the dungeon appeared, beckoning his attention.

After reading the system messages, a surge of exhilaration coursed through Adam's veins, fueling his excitement. The anticipated reward of two class levels had exceeded his expectations. Still, the unexpected bonus of two race levels filled him with a sense of accomplishment and growth.

However, as Adam's focus shifted to the two chests that had materialized before him, his curiosity was piqued. The silver chest beckoned to him, its lustrous surface reflecting the ambient light within the dungeon. With a mixture of anticipation and intrigue, he approached the chest, eager to uncover its contents.

As Adam opened the silver chest, a soft, ethereal glow emanated from within, casting a gentle illumination on his face. To his astonishment, the moment the lid was fully ajar, the chest itself dissolved into a swirling mist, vanishing into thin air as if it had never existed.

Left in the chest's place was a magnificent-looking leather vest. As Adam's gaze fell upon it, he was immediately captivated by its striking appearance. The vest seemed to possess an otherworldly quality, as if the forest itself had crafted it.

The leather of the vest had a rich, dark hue reminiscent of the depths of the densest woods. Its surface bore a subtle sheen, catching the light in a way that made it seem almost alive. Intricate silver patterns adorned the leather, resembling intertwining thorny vines that shifted and flowed like a living entity. The patterns seemed to dance and shimmer, giving the vest an air of enchantment.

When Adam touched the vest, he felt a surge of energy, as if the vest itself acknowledged his presence and welcomed him as its chosen bearer. The leather was supple to the touch, molding to his form with a perfect fit. It provided excellent protection while allowing for unrestricted movement, making it ideal for his agile fighting style.

As he examined the vest more closely, Adam noticed small, raised scales adorning the shoulders, resembling overlapping leaves. These subtle details added to the vest's forest-inspired motif.

A delicate silver clasp was embedded within the vest's collar, meticulously crafted as a panther's head. The clasp served both as a functional closure and a symbol of the vest's properties. It radiated an aura of stealth and power. Adam uses Identify to get a better understanding of the armor.

Adam's eyes widened as he read the description of the Shadowhide Leather Vest. "Holy smokes! This is epic!" he exclaimed, his excitement overflowing. "Look at those stat boosts! Are you kidding me? I'm gonna be unstoppable!"

He eagerly slipped the vest on, relishing the feeling of its supple leather against his skin. "Oh yeah, baby! This vest is pure awesomeness!" he exclaimed, unable to contain his delight. "I mean, just look at it! The craftsmanship, the sleek design—it's like it was made for me!"

Adam couldn't help but strike a few poses in front of the mirror, admiring how the vest accentuated his physique. "Damn, I look badass!" he chuckled to himself. "This is some serious style right here. I bet ladies are gonna love me in this!"

After his nerdy excitements subsided, Adam made his way toward the golden chest!
