Chapter 273. < Episode 87. meteorite (3). >
6.
KANG!
The sound of iron banging from every corner of Meteorite City.
Panting!
“Don’t stick near the bad dog. hot.”
couw!
“Don’t climb on the precious helmet the bad bird owner gave you!”
And Midas, perched on a crude wooden chair, was passing the time with a nervous look on his face amid the audible murmurs of Lucky and Gold Jackpots.
‘ah!’
At that time, Midas’ eyes, which had been rolling around, stopped and turned to one place.
then it appeared
‘It’s over.’
On the other side of the wall of Toss’s forge, NPC Toss, who had been busy moving so far, stopped moving for the first time.
Confirming that, Midas immediately rose from his chair.
king?
“master? What are you doing?”
Around the time Lucky and Gold, who couldn’t see beyond the wall, had doubts about the owner’s actions, NPC Toss appeared.
king!
“As expected, Master! You are great! You see through everything!”
After grasping the situation, Lucky and Gold responded by praising the owner as if they were competing.
Meanwhile, Midas quickly approached NPC Toss.
“Aigo Toss, you really worked hard. Let me quench my thirst with this for now.”
Midas swiftly spoke and handed over an open bottle of potion.
“It’s fine.”
NPC Toss, who rejected Midas’ favor by extending his hand, showed a more difficult expression than ever before and let out a long sigh.
As if that wasn’t enough, NPC Toss sat down on the wooden chair that Midas had been sitting on a moment ago, drooping his shoulders and head at the same time.
Midas bit his lip as he looked like firewood that had burned everything.
‘To think he worked so hard to produce my item……’
Midas, who was about to bow right away without even realizing it, because he was beyond grateful and thrilled NPC Toss shook his drooping head in front of Midas .
Eventually, NPC Toss raised his head and said, looking directly at Midas.
“I’m sorry.”
“yes?”
Midas tilted his head at his sudden apology.
“You have failed. Due to my lack of ability, I couldn’t properly melt the god stone you brought me.”
failure.
Midas did not respond to those two extremely clear letters.
Just staring at the NPC toss, frozen like a stone statue.
NPC Toss looked at Midas as if he was denying what he had heard with his whole body, and gave a chin gesture with an apologetic look. Just like the NPC
Toss,
his subordinate, who had been waiting for him, approached Midas with a downcast expression and held out the tray he was holding.
Midas’ gaze reflexively turned to the tray.
Behind such a tray was a necklace and two pairs of rings made of a metal that seemed to mix black and silver like water and oil.
‘A failure? No, I must have heard it wrong.’
Midas, still looking bewildered as if he hadn’t accepted the situation, looked at one of the rings.
[Toth’s Masterpiece – Zagara]

What used to be Zagara’s ring .
‘It can’t be that it’s a failure… … uh?’
Midas, who had checked the options of such a ring, tilted his head.
‘wait for a sec.’
Failure To use those two letters, the newly acquired masterpiece of Toss – Zagara’s option was at a level that made no sense.
‘It’s a Legendary Epic, right?’
Even the grade of the weapon itself is set to Legendary Epic, which is a grade of Legendary or higher.
It wasn’t just Toth’s masterpiece – Zagara.
Toss’ other ring, Toss’ masterpiece – King Tunga’s option was also eye-opening.
The most surprising thing among them was the necklace.
[Toth’s Masterpiece – Curse]
– Grade: Legendary Epic
– Wearable level: 200 or higher
– A necklace that contains the power of a cursed being. It seems that the power of some cursed being is intertwined with the power of the meteorite.

– Casting speed +30%

In a sense, failure is a hit.
‘Are you saying it’s a failure because it’s too powerful? Balancing failed?’
With this option, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that it failed to balance the game.
“It was my mistake.”
Because of this, NPC Toss continued to explain to Midas, who looked as if he could not understand the situation at all.
“I went into production without knowing that your necklace had a powerful yet alien power. Because the meteorite’s power is entangled with the power in your necklace… … You have to pay the price to be able to use the meteorite’s power.”
“Are you paying?”
“To use the meteorite’s power, you’ll have to consume a lot of mana. I’m so sorry. This happened because I was so intoxicated with handling new meteorites that I couldn’t properly recognize them.”
Only then did Midas understand the situation.
‘There must be something wrong with the cursed being.’
That failure is just a word from a game scenario.
Understanding that, Midas let go of his stiff expression and gave a tear-jerking smile.
“Oh, what do you mean by that?”
With that smile, he grabbed NPC Toss’ hand and said.
“Is there anyone in the world other than Toss who can do something like this? I just want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to enjoy this valuable opportunity.”
At Midas’ encouragement, NPC Toss said with a slightly relaxed expression.
“Thank you for saying that.”
‘Thank you, I’m grateful. You made a very nonsensical system.’
At this moment, Midas struggled to contain the cheers that were about to burst out.
“Anyway, I made a big mistake, but thank you for giving me a chance to handle the god stone. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have had this opportunity in my life.”
In front of Midas, NPC Toss took out a stone tablet from the pocket attached to his apron.
‘Oh right!’
After seeing that, Midas was able to recall the reward for this quest.
‘Legendary Epic Skill Card Book!’
“Ooooh!”
The moment he confirmed the fact that he had forgotten because he was so shocked by the word failure, Midas couldn’t hold back his overflowing joy and cheered on the spot.
To be honest, at this moment, I didn’t like the attention of others.
“Long live Godgame!”
If you are not happy at this moment, when will you be happy?
Of course, it was impossible for NPC Toss to properly understand Midas’ cheers.
“Anyway, it won’t be easy to use the power of a meteorite.”
Because of this, NPC Toss proceeded with the next quest right away, ignoring Midas’ glowing light.
“It probably takes a lot of training and practice. If you want, I can introduce you to my good training area.”
[The main scenario quest has been updated with a new quest.]
Then, a window appeared in front of Midas, who was going crazy.
[The power of the meteorite]
– Quest level: Main Scenario
– Quest level: Below level 239
– Quest content: Go to the abandoned crater and use the power of the meteorite.
– Quest Reward: None
! Upon completion of the quest, ‘Runaway’ can proceed
.
“Scream, boys!
king!
“Scream louder!”
king king!
“King king king!
king?
It just glows brightly.
Then Midas heard a new notification in his ears.
[Forcible logout due to physical condition abnormality.]
It was the first time Midas was forced to logout while going crazy.
7.
There were more cases where I was forced to log out while playing God Wars.
There were many reasons.
I was not feeling well, so I played the game for too long, and suddenly something happened outside.
Among them, there were some decorations of their own.
For example, I’m the one who played the game until I was forced to log out! A decoration like that.
The opposite was also the case.
If you are forcibly logged out due to a physical disorder due to being too damned in the game.
Of course, it was a good thing to make fun of in that case.
Ugh…
That was the reason Midas, now walking toward his destination, covered his face with his hand.
‘It’s fucking damn real that I was forced to log out… … .’
Because it was something a pro player would never have done.
‘If it exploded during a live broadcast… … I almost got forced into retirement.’
It was to the point where I felt very fortunate that that moment was not a live broadcast.
‘Still, it’s amazing.’
Of course, on the contrary, it was a great thing that made Midas, a professional player, like that.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the spec up that Midas got this time was the best ever.
[Midas]
– Level: 214
– Constellation: Word Dragon
– Occupation: Great Mage
– Ability: Strength (5+1998)/Stamina (5+1911)/Intellect (972+3233)/Magic Power (219+2773) –
Remaining stats : 0
First of all, the ability level has reached a level that transcends common sense.
In addition to that, casting speed, movement speed cooldown reduction, magic recovery ability… … A situation where a rapid rise was made in all areas of ability.
‘Falling Star… … At first glance, it’s an extraordinary skill.’
On top of that, he also gained a new magic that would make his shoulders shake when he heard of Falling Star.
Honestly, even if it wasn’t Midas, everyone who had the same experience had no choice but to go crazy.
‘Rather than that, spreading it like this… … There’s a high chance that the next hunting ground won’t be a joke.’
Of course, considering the game God Wars, all of this couldn’t have been a setting that came out to make the game comfortable.
‘The meteorite impact field difficulty wasn’t a joke.’
Right now, the meteorite impact field that Midas experienced earlier had a different level of hunting difficulty from normal hunting grounds.
It was worth trying because it was Midas, but normal players couldn’t even dare to hunt.
In other words, it meant that the level of difficulty of the quest monsters that Midas would face in the future was basic.
‘…. I don’t know how powerful the Falling Star skill is, but if you don’t use it properly, it’ll be really difficult.’
In many ways, the future of Midas is not bright.
king!
“Master, I see something huge over there!”
As Midas pondered, he heard the voices of Lucky and Gold in his ears.
[You have entered the Abandoned Crater.]
And then an audible notification.
Hearing the notification, Midas raised his head, and a crater large enough to fit six or seven soccer fields appeared in front of him.
The craters that appeared in this way had various traces unlike ordinary craters.
Beginning with the scars, the bomb exploded and the ground cracked.
It wasn’t difficult to figure out the meaning of the traces.
‘It’s a skill practice place.’
A stage where you can use your powerful skills to your heart’s content.
As NPC Toss said, it was the best stage to test and practice the newly acquired power.
‘good.’
When he found out, Midas did not hesitate.
No, far from hesitating, I even felt the excitement.
‘Let’s see what a great guy comes out.’
When the word meteorite power came out, everyone in the world had great expectations.
It’s such a word, but it would be a lie if Midas, the person involved, didn’t have expectations.
‘If a real meteorite falls, then it’s my world.’
Midas also had high hopes.
Of course, no matter what, I had no doubt that the meteorite’s power was an unusual magic.
“Guys, step back. From now on, something huge will appear.”
It was for that reason that Lucky, Gold, Silver, and Jackpot were pushed back.
“Whoa.
Midas, who had put everyone behind him, took a long breath and took a stance.
With the left hand holding the cane in front, both legs were firmly planted on the ground.
“……Boo.”
And the moment he stopped breathing, Midas shouted.
“Falling Star!”
[I can feel the meteorite’s power all over my body.]
Soon after, Midas faced the front with a more serious expression than ever before hearing the notification.
‘I’ll definitely check how powerful it is.’
In that state, I waited without any shaking.
‘come.’
Falling Star As the saying goes, let the stars fall before your eyes.
After about three minutes had passed, Midas still faced the front without wavering.
A voice echoed in Midas’ ears.
“What is your master doing?”
“It may look like a very strange asshole, but it’s clear that the master is doing something really great! Do not doubt the master!
Midas relaxed slightly at the voice of silver and gold.
“Hmm.
‘Is the casting time long?’
Then, after clearing his throat once, he looked around and then tilted his head to look at the sky.
There was no sign of anything.
‘Okay, let’s try it one more time.’
However, instead of feeling embarrassed by that fact, Midas took another stance.
“Falling Star!”
A notification was immediately heard by the sound of shouting again.
[The meteorite’s power disappears.]
‘Huh?’
In front of the word disappearing, Midas could not help but feel embarrassed.
‘what? disappeared? Oh no way?’
Of course, thanks to that notification, Midas was able to figure it out.
‘Is it not an offensive magic, but a buff type? Like a great spirit?’
What kind of skill is Falling Star?
‘okay.’
After regaining his composure, Midas turned his head and said to his colleagues who were staring at him.
“Look, guys. Because something really great will come out. Falling Star!”
And at the same time as the meteorite power was activated again, Midas immediately shouted.
“Fireball!”
[Casting has been completed.]
Shortly thereafter, a fireball appeared on Midas’ right palm.
‘huh?’
A fireball that was no different from what Midas usually saw.
‘what?’
Midas looked around at the fireball with eyes that didn’t understand why.
‘Wasn’t the magic different or something like that?’
However, no matter how much I looked, I couldn’t find any difference in appearance.
At that moment, there was only one conclusion that Midas could draw.
‘It was a buff that slightly increased damage.’
It’s just that there’s a buff skill that increases the amount of damage.
Of course, that alone was great.
‘It was a big deal.’
However, it was too insufficient to satisfy the viewers who exploded due to inflated expectations.
‘This is a real big deal.’
For Midas, the moment he faced the worst situation, Midas could no longer smile.
‘What do we do? If I broadcast this live, the reaction would be the worst, right?’
I’m just drowning in my worries.
Then Midas roughly threw the fireball in his hand.
‘Should I make an apology broadcast? But can I broadcast an apology with something like this? Is there anything else?’
The fireball thrown in Midas’ indifference reached the highest point of the parabolic line and began to descend.
That was the moment.
Wow!
The fireball that started falling made a sound revealing its heavy weight and fell to the ground.
Quaang!
Then, a completely different explosion sound hit Midas.
“Aww, what a surprise!”
Surprised by the fact, Midas immediately turned his gaze to the spot where the fireball landed and was able to see it.
‘Crater?’
Traces like a meteorite fell.
In that state, Midas saw the right hand holding the second fireball created by the Add One skill.
‘no way?’
Midas threw the fireball again, this time farther and higher than before.
The fireball that reached its peak started falling towards the floor.
like a meteorite.
Quaang!
As soon as he saw the sound of an explosion accompanied by intense physical destruction, Midas knew.
“…. Shout out, boys!”
A great skill came into my hands.
