One-time use only. The chest will disappear after being used.
***
“Random Reward Chest?!” Aliel shouted because she got surprised by the result of the analyze.
“Indeed, this is your reward, Traveler.” The blacksmith’s NPC nodded his head and stepped behind Aliel.
‘Realism, where did the realism of random chest? Isn’t it gacha?!’ thought Aliel inside her mind. ‘But, I still don’t understand about the rarity in this game.’
Aliel turned to look at the NPC and asked him. “Can you tell me about the rarity of the item?”
The NPC looked at Aliel with a puzzled look. He raised his eyebrow and had an expression that seemed to say ‘Are you for real?’
‘I’m sorry if I don’t know, okay?’
“You don’t know? Then let me explain it. Equipment has a different rarity depending on their performance and their effect.”
Aliel listened to the NPC seriously. She made a note on her mind to remember all of it.
“From the lowest to highest, it’s [Common], [Uncommon], [Rare], [Ultra Rare], [Unique], [Legendary], [Mythical], and [Special Class]”
‘So there are 8 rarities? I am familiar with Common until Mythical. But, what’s Special Class?’
“[Common] usually has no effect and usually is a mass-produced weapon or armor. [Uncommon] is equipment made from Common or Uncommon monster materials, they are usually very though and add some attributes. [Rare] equipment is made from Rare monster materials and needs a skilled blacksmith to process it.”
The blacksmith’s NPC raised his head and proudly puffed out his chest when he said, skilled blacksmiths. Aliel understand that the blacksmith’s NPC was proud of his skill and praised him.
“Ooohh! You are able to make a rare shirt, so does that means you are a skilled blacksmith?!! That’s amazing!”
“Hahahaha, I’m not that skilled.” He tried to hide his good mood but his tone had betrayed him.
He faked a cough and continued his explanation. “Cough, Where did we left it? Oh right, [Ultra Rare] equipment could only be made by a Master Blacksmith using a rare ore such as Adamantite Ore or Orichalcum Ore combined with a high-quality Monster Equipment, usually Boss Monster materials. This equipment has a lot of effects, that’s why this was the most seek equipment in this world.”

Aliel nodded her head, signifying that she’s listening.
“[Unique] equipment is equipment that was used by a special monster, from this rarity, there is only 1 piece of equipment in the world. That means, no equipment will be the same as this Unique equipment. The effect that the equipment has is unknown, only the user will know it. The information of this weapon is almost non-existent because of how rare and secretive the user who owned Unique Equipment.”
“Now [Legendary] and [Mythical] actually the same grade of equipment. The one that differentiates them from each other was their previous user.”
Aliel got interested when the NPC was talking about the Legendary and Mythical rarity.
“Both rarities will increase their user’s attribute by a lot. Their effect also varied, but usually focused on one main element. For example, [Rulibar] is the sword that was used in the war against the horde of monsters hundreds of years ago. It was said to be able to send a light beam that split thousands of monsters in half.”
The NPC make a swinging motion with his hand and was showing Aliel how the legend was told.
“That’s cool, so the last one?” Aliel didn’t get impressed with the blacksmith and urged him to continue with her eyes.
The blacksmith fixed his posture and crossed his arm. “The last one, as it said is Special in their class. You know that in this world there is lots of different class right?”
Aliel pondered for a while and touched her chin with her right hand while her left hand supported it underneath her chest. ‘Come to think of it, I know nothing about classes in this game too. There is a lot of unknown information.’
“No, unfortunately, I only know about Warrior and Magician.” Aliel put her hand down her hand and looked the blacksmith’s NPC in his eyes.
The NPC sighed and explain it to Aliel. “Sigh, you get 1 of them correct. To be exact, there are 4 basic classes. Warrior, Sorcerer, Hunter, and Priest. Each class has one Special Class equipment, weapon to be exact.”
Aliel eyes bulged and she began to remember what this game had to offer. ‘More contradiction in this game. A warrior could use staff, a Sorcerer could use a sword, that was what they were saying when they announced this game.’
“You must be thinking about the Special Class right?” The blacksmith’s NPC said to Aliel and smiled playfully.
Aliel get embarrassed and her face turned red like a tomato as her mouth opened when the NPC pointed it out. How can an NPC guess what the player thought? The AI was too advanced for that kind of behavior.

“I will explain it, don’t worry. Special Class weapon is a mystery, 4 special class weapons are unknown whatever their effect is or what their shape is. Once, the leaders from each class were gathered together and announced that the Special Class weapon was hidden in the Random Chest by the leaders.”
“Doesn’t that mean, I have a chance to get the Special Class weapon from this Random Chest?” Aliel regained her composure and said calmly to the NPC.
“Yes, it’s possible to get equipment ranged from [Common] to [Special Class] from Random Chest. But, when the Random Chest is used, it will disappear and appear in another location.”
Aliel looked between the Random Chest and the blacksmith’s NPC alternatively. A big smile appeared on her face as she said. “And you give that to me?!”
The NPC nodded and Aliel leaped towards the chest and was looking at it with a shine on her eyes. Aliel observed the chest closely this time. The chest’s design was nothing special, it is a rusty iron chest with a simple lock, which can be opened by slide it to the side.
She touched the chest was about to open it.
“Ah wait, let me go to the front before you open it.” The NPC stopped Aliel. She turned towards him and tilted her head.
“Why?”
She asked the NPC because she doesn’t understand why he will leave to the front store and let Aliel opened the chest alone.
“I won’t intrude on your privacy. That’s my way of thank you for clearing that mine from the Mad Rock and bringing me 50 Mad Ore.” He smiled and he walked towards the door. “Just do it quickly and came to the front. I still have a reward for you.”
Aliel nodded her head and the NPC went to the front and closed the door, leaving Aliel alone in the storage.
Aliel turned to the chest again and she smiled. “Now~ I hope my title will have an effect on this chest too. I am a lucky rabbit after all~”
Aliel touched the box and unlocked it. She held the chest lid with 2 hands and opened it slowly. Suddenly, a blue light leaked out from the chest, followed by red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, and violet, making it a rainbow illuminating the storage.
Aliel watched the lights with shining eyes, she understood that rainbow in many games indicated the highest rarity. Her heart races with a wild imagination about what she got from the chest and she opened it in one go.
The inside of the chest was still blinded by the lights, she put her hand in to retrieve the items. Aliel hand searches inside the chest and she feels a cylinder that fits in her hand. She grabbed it and took it out, revealing a dark blue spear.
The spear has a blade on 1 side of it, and a hollow on the middle of the blades. The hollow part of the spear is decorated with a glowing red gem.
“Let’s see~ What is your rarity~ I hope you are at least unique.”
Aliel used analyze on the spear, and the spear’s info was revealed.

“YOSHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I love you, rabbit luck!!!” Aliel shouted at the top of her lungs because of happiness.
“I got spears!! My favorite weapons all the time! At first, I plan to pick warrior, but with this weapon, I changed my mind. Spear wielder who can use spells, I love this game!! I need to experiment with this spear effect, convert Magical Attack into Physical Attack, is it all a Magical Attack from a spell or just an attack using this spear?

She's tried other VRMMORPGs, but they've all been fantasy-based, with a couple sci-fi games thrown in. But she wants something more, something Super. Superhero VRMMOs have had a... subpar reception in the past, in part due to the fact that the nature of most MMOs makes for fairly unheroic tales. After the couple hundredth time blasting the same group of mooks from the same faction on the same street corner of the same city, using the same powerset as everyone else because you only have a few options, it is hard to think of yourself as a hero anymore. But then she heard about City of Champions Online.

BladeMage
Arenya Azural, a dragon-blooded farmer from a small town in the middle of nowhere, always dreamed of being a great hero, battling demons and monsters as a force of magic and power. Now her dream has a chance to become reality - she's a new student at Ba'al Cedric's Academy of Adventurers, a university for warrriors and heroes to learn to battle against the surprisingly amicable demon armies of the neighboring country in an endless war nobody really remembers the point of by now. She's also a BladeMage - an exceedingly rare and exceedingly difficult dual class that few have ever managed to succeed in, but those who have gain immense power. Arenya has a long road ahead of her, with rival students, duels with demons, and a host of benchmarks she must pass in order to keep her scholarship. Will she make it to level 100 and beyond, or die too many times and be forced to return home, tail (literally) between her legs to a life of farming and dreaming of adventure? BladeMage is a LitRPG with a lighter focus on stats. It features battles, leveling up, giant monsters, a bit of fanservice, and more. [Update: The LitRPG elements are proving themselves relatively unimportant as I continue to write. They may be dropped entirely, in which case I will change the prior chapters as well as update this description.] Content warnings: As a story featuring lots of fighting, there will be blood and death. However, since characters rarely die permanently, this will not be a hyperviolent story with extreme gore for the sake of it. Some sexual content and fanservice may be included, but this should remain firmly at the PG-13 level and there will be no sexual violence of any kind. The Cover: Someone suggested that I should have a dragon girl with a miniskirt on the cover. I can't draw and I don't know who to ask or commission, so a few minutes in the GNU Image Manipulation Program and the masterful cover above was created! Please feel free to use your imagination to see a gorgeous half-dragon with azure hair, wings, and a tail, holding a lightning-infused sword while fighting demons.
