MMORPG : Ancient WORLD

'I have seen legacy weapons that give Titles, but I have never seen or heard of a legacy weapon getting damaged, let alone someone receiving a legacy weapon in a damaged state.' Alex thought, baffled after looking at the status information of his legacy weapon.

Alex was not troubled because he received a damaged legacy weapon, but he was only concerned about finding the incredibly rare resources needed to repair a Mythical quality weapon and the result after the repair.

Alex knew that even the best Blacksmith Emperor wouldn't be able to repair a Mythical quality weapon to its former self because each weapon of such quality was more than just a magical piece of equipment.

It was known that if a Mythical quality weapon was damaged, even the blacksmith who forged it wouldn't be able to repair it to perfection, let alone some other Blacksmith who had no clue how the weapon was forged.

'I don't believe Erebus mistakenly gave me this damaged legacy weapon when he wants me to solve the problems of Malefis Domain, so there should be something special about this weapon.' Alex thought.

All legacy weapons were personal weapons of the true legacy owners, and each weapon was of the highest quality, ranging from peak legendary to peak Mythical, and damaging a weapon of such quality was nearly impossible.

Alex understood that each [SSS] Legacy belonged to an ancient warrior who had surpassed the Ninth Rank, and each such person had more than just a few good personal weapons, so giving their chosen legacy inheritor a damaged weapon was illogical.

'Let's bound with this weapon to see the detailed information.' Alex thought as he used the spear to cut the palm of his hand and let the blood flow onto the weapon.

After the spear came in contact with Alex's blood, tiny intricate golden runes started to appear on it, and in short few seconds, the spear was completely coved in them, making it look incredible.

'The spear is scanning my body?' Alex thought, feeling an unknown energy coursing inside his body.

After a few seconds, the energy coursing inside Alex's body and the runes on the spear disappeared, and he received the system notification of successful bound.

'The scanning process was probably a safeguard placed by Erebus to protect his weapon.' Alex thought as he read the perks of his newly gained titles.

-------------------------

'These titles have amazing bonuses, but the title of Battle Emperor is just completely beken.' Alex thought with a smile, but he quickly got serious as he opened his legacy weapon information to check for any changes.

'HOOOOOO.' Alex took a deep breath after checking the detailed information of his legacy weapon.

'I don't know why Erebus would give me a damaged legacy weapon, but who cares because it's a great weapon, and the best thing is that it could be restored.' Alex thought with a broad smile after checking the first of three available weapon skills.

??????????

Name: Absorb

Effect: Consume any weapon, record its physical form, and evolve or waste its skills while using the weapon materials to repair the damage to Umbris.

Recorded Skill: (0/3)

----------

[Important note: If an absorbed weapon skill satisfies the condition to evolve, a particular amount of mana would be used, and if the Player doesn't have enough mana, then the evolution will fail to waste the skill.]

??????????

'I know restoring this weapon to perfection will be very difficult, but it will be worth the trouble.' Alex thought with a smile.

'Let's quickly check the other skills.' Alex thought as he happily opened the information of the remaining two skills.

??????????

Name: Morph

Description: The skill changes the weight of any weapon to the user's desires while maintaining the perfect weight distribution.

??????????

'These skills are amazing, but I need to do testing to know their true potential, especially the Absorb skill.' Alex thought after checking all three skill details.

'Let's test these skills.' Alex thought, and just as he took a sword he was going to sacrifice, he was disturbed.

Alex's ear rang with a system notification which surprised him as it was not a system notification but a message sent to him using the golden token, and the content of the message was both surprising and confusing.

'A message sent by Badger, but he is not the sender, which is already confusing, but his message states that people from the human empire are looking for me?' Alex thought as he opened the message to read it properly.

▼▼▼▼▼▼▼

Unknown Message:

[I am sending this message on behalf of Young Master because he cants as he is bound by a Watcher contract not to reveal any information to his good friend.

Sir. Hidden One, Strong and Influential NPCs from the Human Empire, want to "Meet the good friend" very badly.

They have forced [Young Master, Self-Centered Brute, and Raven Lady] to Sign watcher contracts to reveal every piece of information related to the good friend, and Young master is being forced to arrange a meeting with that good friend.]

--------

[If you want more details on this wonderful story, please send me a real-world location to meet and discuss things.]

▲▲▲▲▲▲▲

'This message doesn't make any sense.' Alex thought after reading the message a few times to understand every detail correctly.

Alex was not confused by the name or by the coded message as he easily understood them, but he was perplexed by the scenario the message was describing to him.

'This message doesn't make sense even if Badger, Like an idiot, announced to the public that he was friends with me because then why the hell will the people from the Empire force a contract on Vlad and Hecate to gain information on me?' Alex thought, trying to make any sense of the message.

'I know Badger is not an idiot to pull such a stupid trick on me to meet me in real life, so this message should be true.' Alex thought.

If the world announcement was just about his [SSS] Rank legacy, only the big guilds would look for him, but he also became a Ruler of a hidden continent, which was a big enough achievement to get the attention of the whole world.

Alex believed that Zero would have announced his achievements to the world, so it was not surprising that the Human Empire would want to meet him, knowing he became the ruler of a Hidden continent, but the confusing part was how did they find out he was connected with Vlad Hecate and Badger.

Alex would have come to a completely different conclusion if he had checked his system notification log because Zero never announced his achievements, and what was happening with Badger and others was thanks to his Beastmen friends.

'Let's talk with Badger to learn what is happening.' Alex thought as he turned off the Adventurer mode and made a voice call to Badger.

The Adventurer mode allowed Alex to block anyone from contacting him, even his added friend, and he turned it on when he entered the game, knowing Badger would try to contact him the moment he went online.

Beep Beep x9

["Mr.One, I hope you are doing well."] Badger said after picking up the call.

["Mr.One, I want to make a huge deal for your organization, and to discuss it, I would like to meet you,"] Badger said.

'The Badger I know will first congratulate me for becoming the Ruler of a hidden continent before trying to use the friendship tag to learn more about the Malefis Domain.' Alex thought.

["I am busy for two days, but after that, I will tell you the time and location where we can meet, and then we can discuss your offer."] Alex said calmly.

["I will be waiting for your message."] badger said and closed the call.

Alex made this voice call to gain information on what was happening with Badger, and his unusual silence told him many things.
