MONSTER MMORPG: Mayhem Online

I looked at the auction screen in front of me and couldn't believe the digits.

"Holy sheet!"

[The 24-hour auction for the item 'Egran's Necklace' has concluded.]

[The item has been auctioned successfully to the highest bidder!]

[15,000,000 gold coins have been deposited into your account.]

[The 24-hour auction for the item 'Flame Ring' has concluded.]

[The item has been auctioned successfully to the highest bidder!]

[20,500,000 gold coins have been deposited into your account.]

'There are so many rich people in the world!'

I'm rich in literal terms right now. Just selling two items that I got after killing an annoying general turned me into a multimillionaire.

'Let's buy some items while I am at it.'

I went on to see some items listed on the auction page.

[Mana Boots]

[Demon's Shoes]

[Feathered Shoes]

[....]

[Eyepatch of the Night Owl]

[Pirate's eyepatch]

[Ruby spectacles]

[....]

[Thorn of Vengeance]

[Thorn of Decadence]

[Blood Earrings]

[....]

'Nevermind, I'll take a look when I am a bit richer.'

To think that all the listed items cost at least 500,000 coins. Now I know why my items sold for such a high price.

'Damn it, I would have placed them for a week-long auction if I knew any better.'

Anyways, I checked the information regarding the guild to get an idea of how many members were there and what their levels were.

[Guild Details

Name: Chrysanthemum

Level: 3 (88/100)

Member count: 23

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

Inventory: *** *** *** *** *** Magic Almond *** Demonic Sword ***

Rank: #147 on the overall leaderboard.

Assets: Guild house in Brinkest City.]

There were many hidden items in the guilds inventory simply because the members who had stored them had set the visibility to private. On the other hand, there were a few items that weren't that rare so they were displayed without any restriction.

In a guild inventory, only a member who was given permission from the member that had stored the item can retrieve the item, the rule even applied to the guild's owner.

"What do you want to do now? You have a guild at your disposal…"

Lynch asked and I scratched my head.

"I honestly don't have any idea as to what to do now. I haven't thought about everything from the get-go."

"It's fine, none of us knew what to do from the get-go either. Take your time and slowly adjust to the situation."

Hmm.

Oh right, I forgot about them again. The main reason I came here.

"....Hey guys."

I said with an awkward smile as I looked at Gomchul and Nameless sitting together, glaring at me.

"How have you been?"

"Oh? We have been absolutely fantastic! Not like someone had left us hanging, right Gomchul?"

Gomchul nodded his head and snorted at Nameless' sarcastic remark.

"Aww, c'mon guys. It's just been a few days."

"Dude, I am a player and can move around on my own without worrying about anything. Gomchul is an orc and a resident of this world. All he had been doing was sitting here. The only time he moved was to either eat or take a dump."

Nameless burst out at me, trying to make me realise that it wasn't about him but about Gomchul.

"I am sorry. I apologise okay? I just got caught up in a lot of things that I didn't have the time to think about anything else."

"Leave it, I am fine."

Gomchul said in a sulky voice and I couldn't help but feel a bit of pity.

'Oh right, I had something for him.'

There were actually three item drops from Egran. Two had dropped at his death, and the third was the item that he had left behind when he died. It was the item that he used to fight with me.

[Egran's Twin-Axe

Type: Weapon

Rating: Epic II

Durability: 440/440 Attack Power: 1220

Attack Speed: -5%

+15% extra HP

*Every successful hit made within every 5 seconds would increase the damage of every hit by 5% to a total of 30%.

A weapon made from the body parts of a Grivantula, specially ordered by Egran from a famous alchemist of the abyss. Its heavyweight and sharp edges can deal great damage if used properly.

User Restriction: More than 200 strength.]

I immediately took out the weapon and handed it over to Gomchul.

"Here, this is the gift that I was preparing for you back at the abyss. The person who had this was very strong, so it took me a while to defeat him."

Gomchul looked at the Axe from the corner of his eyes, and as soon as his eyes landed on it, he immediately grabbed the Axe in his hand and swung it around twice to feel it.

"Okay, careful now. We don't want to kill anyone here."

"Hmph! This is pretty good. I don't buy your excuse, but I'll let you off since I like the axe. You have my gratitude. I'll be sure to repay you."

Gomchul harrumphed coldly but still thanked me gratefully. I had underestimated his intelligence based on the other orcs that I had met.

"Gomchul, can you show me the axe?"

Bowser asked and Gomchul handed it over to him. Bowser used his appraisal skill on the axe and was surprised. Soon, he showed the axe to others and then handed it back to Gomchul.

"An epic II rated item with percentile health increase, and an additional option, coupled with the already high attack power. He just gave it away like that? To an NPC?"

Lynch, who had also seen the item's stats, started boiling in jealousy. But this time, he wasn't the only one. Almost everyone was visibly jealous.

"Oh right, Nameless, I'll send you a guild invitation."

I accepted Nameless' friend request and invited him to the guild, and he joined just after that.

After accepting the guild invitation, Nameless held out his hand, making everyone, including myself, puzzled.

"What?"

Everyone in the guild house had a big question mark on their head as they tried to guess Nameless' intention.

"Where's my reward? You promised both me and Gomchul that you'd reward us if we follow you. Or do you count waiting for you for days as a reward?"

It was really scary when Nameless talked like a normal person instead of his usual chuunibyou self.

"Yes, we have become sworn brothers. If you're rewarding me, then you must reward him too. Or else I can't accept this gift."

Gomchul said sternly.

"Okay then, don't accept. Give it back to me."

"I…."

Gomchul and the others were left speechless at my shamelessness and I just laughed it off.

"I am just joking, don't worry. I'll prepare something for Nameless too."

'What should I even give him… Oh wait, I can do that? Probably…'

I had thought about something and wanted to try it out right now.

"Hey, your primary weapon is a one-handed sword, right?"

"Yes, it is."

Nameless replied in puzzlement.

"I have some really nice material from a monster of the abyss, let me try to make a sword for you."

"What?"

"Huh?"

"He'll make a sword?"

Everyone in the room reacted like I had said something funny.

Anyways.

"Get aside everyone, I'll have to draw a magic circle."

***

After two hours.

This time, the melted leg of the Grivantula finally started taking the shape of a sword, with its hilt being formed from a demonic monkey's tail.

[The spirit of the earth, Gaia is helping you in completing your weapon's form.]

[You have successfully created an Epic IV-rated item!]

[Fame increased by 500 points.]

[Insight has increased by 2 points.]

[Dexterity has increased by 5 points.]

Finally, the dark grey coloured sword with a black handle and sharp edges was formed and placed above the alchemy circle.

It looked really simple, yet it emanated so much elegance.

[Verdict

Type: Weapon

Rating: Epic IV

Durability: 239/239 Attack Power: 1120

Strength: +20

Critical Chance: +5%

Critical Damage: +2.3

*Every critical strike deals 75% additional dark damage.

*There is a very low chance of piercing through the enemy's vitals and causing the status condition 'Bleed' on every hit.

*Has a crystal slot.

A sword crafted by the Legend Shura. It has amazing firepower and has been named after his verdict on the monster Grivantula, whose legs have been used in the production of this sword.

It has an additional crystal slot, equipping it with a mana crystal will increase its firepower.

User restriction: Level more than 100 or more than 200 points in strength.]

After reading the item description, I couldn't help but feel a little greedy. To think it'd get a crystal slot.

A weapon that has a crystal slot can be equipped with various magic crystals and show a brilliant increase in power.

But I immediately gave up on the thought of keeping the item for myself. I was scared that I would stop receiving help from my friendly sponsor Gaia if I became too greedy.

"Here!"

I was about to hand over the sword to Nameless before I remembered something. I took a mana crystal from my inventory and placed it near the handle where there was a socket-like hole.

The mana stone was sucked into the sword and settled in it like it was always a part of it, as if a beautiful and alive jewel bubbling with power. The blue mana stone looked really beautiful on the black-coloured sword.

"Here, take it now."

"Did he just… put a mana stone in the sword? It's a sword with a crystal slot?"

"That's not the point. Is this how alchemy works? Can all alchemists create weapons like this?"

"..."

"Do you like the sword?"

"I love it! Thank you, brother! I shall pledge eternal loyalty to you!"

My toes curled as the old Nameless was back in seconds.
