"Errr... How do you even enchant weapons with this?"
""...""
Chris was currently sitting on the side of a nearby tree, about 2 kilometers away from the old man, who was still sitting cross-legged in front of the orb of corruption as if what happened more than an hour ago was nothing. It was probably his confidence toward the orb.
"I'll drop one then and see if it works."
Right now, he is trying to figure out how to enchant his longbow. He even asked the cute twins beside him, but they just looked at him in silence. In the end, he just put a drop of liquid on his bow.
"Oh? Did it work?"
[Your Glenda(A) has been enchanted with divine attribute! 1/1]
His longbow suddenly shone brilliantly. It looked so divine that even he was dazed for a while.
"Heeeeh... So that's how you do it! Man, I seriously thought I had to sneak inside that old man's house and look for an enchanter's table just to enchant this."
""...""
The twins had a smile on their cute faces, happy to see him succeed on his first try.
"Well, it's time to send that old man to hell. Its door has been waiting for him all this time after all."
After enchanting his bow and making some murmurs, he stood up and notched his arrow on his bowstring. His target was the orb of corruption that was floating in front of the old man. The shine on the bow slowly shrank; it was moving towards the arrow.
"I hope that orb won't dodge or something."
""...""
With his sneak attack, it will still hit even if you try to parry, block, or dodge using teleportation, all thanks to his talent. And paired with his high perception, he's an extremely deadly sniper. The only saving grace for the target is if it has death immunity abilities.
When he was young, he trained rigorously in sharpshooting. It was one of his favorites during combat practices. So even if it's not a sneak attack, he's still deadly at ranged combat, not to mention he has pretty high dexterity, which greatly helps in accuracy.
*Fwooooosh!* *Tink!* *Bam!* *Crack!* *Crack!* *Crack!* *CLINK!*
"Hmmm... What's going on? My orb..."
After the shining arrow hit, it exploded in a bright flash of light and then vanished completely afterwards, leaving visible cracks on the floating orb.
The old man who was sitting cross-legged opened his eyes as well, confused. Bit by bit, the cracks became larger and larger until it shattered like glass.
[You destroyed Orb of Corruption(SS)!]
[You obtained Divine Shard x1,000.]
'Oh? It dropped something!' Thought Chris.
The old man had a look of shock and horror after seeing the orb shatter. Then suddenly anger can be seen on his aged face. But before that anger manifests...
"WHO DARES TO-"
*Bang!* -1,256,640,000
"Wh-N-no...I'm...almost...there..."
*Thud!*
"Im...mor...tali...ty..."
Another arrow just flew by and landed on his forehead. Chris didn't take any chances and charged his second arrow just after the first shot left his bowstring.
He was afraid that the old man might spam his spells at him or spam blink to escape. Getting hit by multiple spells or chasing someone for a whole day are both a pain in the ass after all.
[You killed Aurelius Moonbow, The Mad King(A+) Lvl.50!]
[You obtained 60,000 Exp, 2,000 Fame, 772 Platinum Coins, 355 Spirit Stones, 722 Empty Books, 166 Spirit Coins, Skillbooks x13, Court Mage Set(A), Aurelius(S), Soul Herald(A), Land Deed: Endes(Empire), Treasure Chest(A).]
Just 2 kilometers away from the old man, Chris had a smirk on his face. His eyes had a mocking look.
"Heh! I dare! May your filthy soul be tortured in hell for eternity."
""...""
'Haaaah...haah! Man, I'm getting carried away even though it's just a game...'
The twins hugged him with a smile on their cute little faces, and tears could be seen in their beautiful, gem-like pairs of eyes. He patted their little heads with a smile, happy for them, and their curse should be gone now.
"Well, you girls are free now and can pass on peacefully..."
""...""
The girls just nodded at him, looking at him with gratitude. Suddenly, the little girls shone brightly while floating up slowly.
"I guess it's time huh?"
The twins nodded once more, but this time there was sadness in their eyes. They will miss their kind and talkative big brother.
He just looked at them silently until they turned into moats of light. Emptiness suddenly filled his heart. Even though it's just for a short time and they don't even speak, he had fun being with them.
"Haizzz...lonely adventure again..."
With a wry smile, he walked towards the old man's house. But a system notification appeared in front of him.
[Congratulations, you completed the quest, Madness End(S)!]
[You obtained 1,000,000 Exp, 10,000 Fame, 1,000 Spirit Coins, Ownership of Pocket Dimension: Everglade(S), Eleanor(S) Lvl.50, Alexandra(S) Lvl.50.]
[You learned skill, Summon Dimension Door.]
"Oh? So many rewards... Ermmm...What!?"
Even with the rewards he got, his mood was still heavy. But it suddenly brightened up when a beautiful pair of one-handed swords appeared in front of him instead of directly entering his inventory.
Katanas. The blade, hilt, circular crossguard, pommel, sheath, and even the short ribbon at the end of the pommel are all black in color, while the other one has an identical appearance but is all white.
"So beautiful... The names of the swords have some similarities to those girls..."

"S-so freaking overpowered! Tsk! Too bad my buckler will automatically unequip if I wear dual weapons. Not to mention, they look too girly..."
He was shocked by the insane stats of the dual katanas. But he doesn't want to lose his buckler as well as his glaive. He has already spent a lot of time learning the polearm and is much more comfortable using it in close combat.
'But I have someone in mind who will treasure you both, so wait a little bit.'
A certain white-haired girl appeared in his mind while he was looking at the beautiful dual weapons with a loving smile and a longing look.
With his mood brighter, he stashed the dual swords in his inventory. Just right after stashing them, another system message appeared in front of him.
[The limited time dungeon will close in 05:00...04:59...04:58...]
"Oi, oi! I haven't even looted the house yet."
[Haste]! [Blink]!
He started to panic once again, seeing yet another timer. Now that the heaviness on his shoulder had disappeared, he thought about looting treasures. He can't let the precious loot pass him by. Within a minute and a half, the 2 kilometers had been covered.
Since the owner of the house is a magician, he has high hopes for more empty books. It annoys him that his magic spells are so weak, so he plans to improve them before he starts his massacre outside the labyrinth.
"Ughh...the hell is that smell?"
*Fwip!* *Thud!* *Crack!*
"Gak! Man, even the floor is full of dust. Does he not know how to clean?"
Upon opening the door, a foul smell hit his nostrils, making him almost puke. The smell is even worse than a garbage dump. He also slipped because of the dust on the floor. An idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and he didn't think he could clear it out in time.
"I hope this works..."
*Tap!*
[You obtained 75,000 Gold Coins, 455,000 Platinum Coins, 150 Spirit Stones, 1,500 Empty Books, 120,000 Spirit Coins, 12 Crimson Coins, Gems(Elem.) x100 ea, Gems(Upg.) x100 ea, Equips(C-A) x15,566, Human Remains(Quest Items) x72,821, Madman's Journal.]
"It worked!"
He put his palm on the floor and thought of looting on his mind. To his delight, it worked.
"This old man is loaded with spirit coins. Uhh... crimson coins? And what's with the human remains? He's really evil!"
[Ding! A Quest has been triggered!
Title: Laid To Rest(F)
Description: Bury the human remains.
Rewards: 20,000 Exp. each]
"Although it's kind of disturbing seeing human bones in my inventory, I'll finish this side quest. I feel bad for these dead people. The experience reward is good as well."
Just right after his mumblings, his vision blurred and he appeared in the middle of the small island in the lake.
"Phew! It's all done, huh? No world announcement for that either..."
He sat still for quite a bit to rest. He was mentally tired after all. He also read the journal he got from the house. He had a hint of disgust on his face while reading it.
"Immortality huh? Even if you achieve something like that, with the number of negative karma you have accumulated, death will knock on your door to drag your soul into hell..."
A few minutes after reading the whole journal, he used the recycler to scrap the thing, and he even got a piece of bronze coin from it.
He then started to organize his inventory afterwards, as there were lots of people waiting outside seeking death from him, which he would grant them after upgrading some of his stuff like magic spells and equipment.
"Hehehe... I'm filthy rich!"
He was smiling from ear to ear, seeing all the coins he obtained while doing the quest. Who would've thought that his simple curiosity would lead him to mountains of treasure? Just two legendary bosses have so much wealth that if he didn't see it with his own eyes, even he might not believe it.
