“Finally, the Luck stat kicking in.”
‘No Grimoire though. Wished I could’ve gotten that early. With it, I could record any spell Spellbook within limit, and uses it as a weapon to cast the spells within. I would have more spells on me than the original 5 slots. Skillbook can be another exception and considerably better in some cases since I won’t have to limit myself in using the grimoire, but Skillbooks, in general, are rare.’
She proceeds to move into the next area while collecting her rewards and learning the spells on the way. While doing it, she did not forget to show it to the camera. What she received, and her current Profile Status. She received 6 potions varying in effect. 5 common ingredients. This is where she had imagined that the god of RNG was not on her side, but the other 4 items made her grin.
She received one gold card from one of the [E-Grade Random Item Box].
[Battle Aura Skillbook / Rank E – Uncommon / Learning Requirement: Level 30, own [Battle Master] Title]
[Silver Boots / Rank E / Rare / Physical Defense: 80 / Magical Defense: 40 / Effect: Reduce incoming damage from undead-type enemies by 10%]
[Mithril Dual Sword / Rank D / Rare / Physical Attack: 150 (+150) / Magical Attack: 40 (+40) / Requirement: 75 (+75) Strength, 40 (+40) Dexterity]
[Thunder Totality (Bow) / Rank B / Legendary / Physical Attack: 1000 / Magical Attack: 2400 / Innate Ability: Unsheathed, conjure [Spectral Arrow] that deals Shock Damage based on the user’s Intelligence without cost and cooldown. Only one [Spectral Arrow] can appear at a time / Requirement: 250 Dexterity, 40 Intelligence]

“Heh, a dupe but that’s alright. That bow is more than enough. I wouldn’t be able to pull the string, but that Innate Ability is so hard to ignore. Even if it does do close to no damage.”
“As for the others. Heh, hard skip.”
‘It’s good that I can get a strong weapon like that at the start thanks to the RNG, but at the same time, and most of the time, I’m unable to use these because the loot is not tied to my level. Ekolia version 6 also makes the loot given by these boxes to be bound to the character. I’d rather have it this way though. Less abusable.’
She allocated the points appropriately to her Profile Status. Increasing her unused Mana points, 10 on Intelligence, and a whole 50 to her Luck. She equipped the bow and hold it tightly in her left hand, a ghastly stick that does not resemble that of an arrow appeared but instead a sharp stick, hovering around her.
“Heh, it’s a lot bigger than I expected. I wonder how it’ll be if I have higher stats later on.”
It piqued her interest, but the curiosity was on-hold as enemies started to appear in her sight. Undead wolves and skeletons. Upon focusing her sight on an enemy, a wolf, the [Spectral Arrow] flew at it in a straight line as if there is no wind or anything holding it back.
*Takk*

“Ehh, it’s alright, I guess.”
But after saying that, another flash of bolt flew towards the wolf again. Once it hits, another appears and it automatically flew at the enemy again. When she changed her aim, the [Spectral Arrow] follows, “Heheh, I take that back. Tis’ a mighty fine bow right here.”
Ferociously, she attacks the enemies as they all charged at her. She avoids their attacks as the [Spectral Arrow] kept on attacking. Then, with a double swing strike followed by two swift kicks and a roundhouse, she dealt heavy damage as the enemies dealing none.

Even if the arrow did not shoot when she isn’t looking at an enemy, she still inflicts damage by kicking them with the back of her foot.
Meanwhile, Rakuri is fighting a humongous-sized toad that laid waste to many trees in the dread environment. There is no fear in her eyes when she leaped over a cliff to hit the monster with her staff, one can only see a wide grin on her face and a burst of laughter that comes after.
Kurira as well, she wastes no time. Instead of killing every single enemy she sees, she only kills them on the way and never stopped moving. The second mini-boss guarding the gate is a giant wolf with majestic fur. Though its radiant aura is not as majestic. Red eyes that kept on constantly bleeding, teeth like a saber tooth, and its minions are guarding it together.
“Heheh, I can feel it! A useful spell is coming, baby!”
The two spells she got from the previous boss cannot be used as she does not have the appropriate catalyst to cast them. Her way of dealing with the boss is diminishing its numbers. But the wolves are ferocious. They kept on attacking whenever they had the chance, but the moment one of them attack, it opens a chance for Kurira to launch a counter. The strategy worked because the enemy only attack one or two at a time. When one leaped over to bite her, she slides underneath while swinging her wand, striking the wolf back to the earth before pummeling its head.
She repeated it perfectly. Her execution and her stamina consumption are balanced, but the giant wolf disrupts the cycle as it opens its mouth, charging a ball of light inside. Kurira chuckled, “Gotcha,” she holds the bow in her hand and the arrow swiftly launched towards the giant wolf’s red eyeball, interrupting its attack.
Continuing to reduce their numbers, she went on a killing spree until there were 5 of them left where she felt the need of having to worry to dodge all the time, waved away. It wasn’t long until the second eye of the giant wolf was pierced and its head has fallen to the ground with a breath of frost.
Kurira has already moved on to the next boss with a giant grin on her face.

Meanwhile Rakuri is standing on top of the corpse of a giant toad. Repeated level-up notifications run rampant throughout her screen, just like her sister, she has the same grin when something excites them. One in particular, is the fact that she is holding a red card from the loot box.
