Having Groy finished what he is saying. I then looked at the relics above me.

You can actually say they are all relics that can be worn, I can clearly see that I see accessories like necklaces, rings, bracelets, crowns etc.  and different kinds of relics and armors.

After scanning the relics, I dare not to go near because none of the people went near those relics too. But a certain necklace caught my attention. It surely is a beautiful necklace having its red pendant, oval and inside it is flickering lights like fireflies. Where its link part is colored in silver.

I did not take my eyes away from it because I feel it’s been the one calling for me and the next thing I knew I have been next to it.

After that, I saw the multitude looking at me with mixed feelings.

A certain teenager said “oh boy, looks like we got another suicide actor here” while a certain smirk was formed in his face. Having witnessed what Groy can do they crowd have a sense of fear to the floating mask.

I don’t know why I could understand what he is saying because he looks like a Japanese to me who I know can’t pronounce words very well when in speaking in English.

While thinking that, I heard another cute girl around 15 years old saying “please don’t die”.

I nodded at the girl then continued to stare at the necklace.

I feel like I was being drawn to it and when I reached out my hand to touch it became bright and went straight to my neck. I tried removing it but to no avail it can’t. Another weird thing happened is because it spoke.

“Hey don’t try to remove me because when I called you, you responded.” It said.

Its voice is so manly that girls would have a high chance to be attracted to its owner but sadly I am not a chick.

“Why won’t I remove you. You just went straight at my neck while not having my permission.” I said in a rush while trying to take it out of my neck.

“Then why won’t I go on your neck. I am a necklace, and I am made for necks. And when I called, you responded. How the hell would I react? Will I jump with joy or cry because you answered my call? Of course not! Because yeah, I forgot I am a necklace. As a matter of fact, that is what guardian do.” The necklace said sarcastically.

“Wait. What? A guardian?” I said with a questioning tone.

“I will fill you with details boy after we choose your relics and jump the World’s Trial Cliff. Well yeah I clearly forgot I am a necklace and you must jump by yourself. Wahahaha” it said.

I don’t know how I felt when it said that and how did I picked this piece of junk in the first place. But I did not ask for another question and just replied “how would I choose a weapon? There are basically millions of relics floating here including accessories like yourself.”

“Like what I said I am a guardian not an accessory don’t try to make my grade low by saying such things. “It said.

After a few seconds of complaining to me it continued, “choosing relics by yourself is not a good practice…………”

By what I heard in its preaching, these relics are divided through grades from mortal grade as the lowest and divine guardian grade as the highest.

Mortal grade relics are normal relics with no magic power and are easy to break when your opponent use magic or supernatural strength. You can possibly distinguish those relics are of mortals if you won’t see light coming out from it for the first time you choose it as a weapon.

The next grade is of transcendence, immortal, divine, divine guardian. It is said you can grade them if you see their colors shine from no color for mortal grade, red color for transcendence grade, green for immortal, yellow for divine then blue for divine guardian. The more they shine the stronger they are.

Even though the division is only of 5, there are plenty of sub- grades coming from those five. So the users of those relics just made them numbers ranging from 1 to 10 in each grade.

Choosing relics is easy but it is not a good practice. You can choose, but what if you chose a weapon of transcendence level or above and will not help you but will become a burden for you in the future. You can make them obey if you are the one who crafted them or you are chosen by them.

Relics of above mortal level have a certain intelligence recognizing their master. So you can only convince them to make them follow you

.

Different from mortal grade relics, above are had certain abilities that can be called godlike if you ask a mortal.

Having said that short speech I asked the necklace “So necklace how will I choose relics that are suitable for me?”

“Hey I am not just a necklace you know! I am called Durance. And I just told you that I am an of guardian grade. Tsk”. He protested.

“Ok ok. But I thought there is no guardian grade and only of divine guardian.?” I asked.

“Ranking up is very hard from the start you know. So those weapon masters who made the rankings. Made a special rank that is in between those divisions. Namely, immortal transcend, divine transcend, and guardian transcend.” He answered.

Thinking that I will not be facing dangerous situations because Durance is nearly on the top grade. I smiled widely.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

Noticing my smile, he said with a mocking tone, “Don’t even think of having a good life of having me. I chose you because I think I will have a chance of breaking through the division if I followed you and I will not be servile to you.”

“Anyway since you are the first to step up and choose relics. Let’s go for a killing. First you must close your eye and communicate with these millions of relics then boom you’ll get them.” Durance added.

“How will I communicate with them just by closing my eyes. Can’t you see we are just mere humans?”. I asked.

“Oh just shut up and do as I said you dimwit” it mocked

“what did you just said?!” I asked in return slightly annoyed.

“Dimwit” it replied.

“Will you repeat it again” I said

“dimwit as in stupid or silly. Or should I call you a skinny normal looking little boy. Same as your little junior down there. Dimwit “. It described as if I did not understand what it was saying.

“What?! “I shouted in the top of my lungs due to rage.

“This little boy knows how to be angry eh. Alright prove to me that you are not what I was saying.” After he said those word, light shone my eye then it closed.

After that I cannot open my eyes anymore I tried opening it but then I heard a voice coming from Durance saying “prove it to me that I have chosen the right person”.

I followed what he said to close my eyes because I have plenty of time to come back at him.

After closing my eyes, I can sense someone is eyeing on me but I just continued to trying to communicate with the relics because I to want to have the best relics for my survival in this world.

After a few minutes, I still can’t get a single weapon.  

I started to complain to Durance but it replied “just try to feel them dimwit once you felt them, there is a high chance that they will come to you because you are the first and the only one choosing and you the will the only one they are assessing, so they have no chose but to come”.

I tried my best but nothing happened. I tried to leave the platform with heavy heart. All of a sudden five balls of lights coming to me.

The next thing I know is I have been equipped with a black armor made of leather I can’t actually call it an armor because it shows some of my upper body part like my left chest and some of my stomach part and in my lower part of my body you can say I am wearing a short but made of leather.

 I can’t say it is totally bad because I totally feel comfortable with the armor and the design is not bad where I actually like it to some extent. Then the next is the pair of daggers stuck in my legs, a pair of sandals paired in my armor, a pair of swords on my waist and a pair of bracers for my hands.

I felt like I became so strong just by wearing them. But after seconds of admiring them they just vanished out of thin air. But before I try to ask Durance what happened. I heard his ear-piercing laughter then after he finished laughing he tried to hold back from laughing some more.

He said “your relics don’t have a degree of trust in you, might as well try to put an effort to show it to them that you are a man worthy for them to rely on”

“Anyway can you tell me what grade are they I did not recognize their color because I was staring on the floor, and I was surprised that those came after me.” I said with a hope that they are of high grade.

“What do you know you dimwit. Find it for yourself. Wahahaha.” He replied.

I stopped talking to him because he I can’t stand the way he laughs at me. After I started to distance myself from the relics, I felt millions of eyes gazing at me. I felt ashamed and walked faster to blend into the crowd.

Not knowing that even Groy stared at me while thinking that I have a very good luck being chosen by a guardian.

After a moment of silence, still none of the people went to choose relics. Groy said “Have you seen the first person did, he went to choose a weapon and got excellent ones. Won’t you go and choose, because what I know is they will be a major help for you in the future for your survival. Try to get faster than the others because the good ones are quite limited you know. He he”.

Saying that he once again remained still in the mid-air as if not minding ants staring at him.

A few minutes later a beautiful girl with a black hair and pitch black eyes went near those relics then started talking to herself.

 A few moments later she started to shout saying “What?!” then she closed her eyes.

I can’t believe what she was doing that I began to doubt if her mental health is in good condition. Until I heard a boy beside me saying “ Your luck is very good and certain people are dumb enough to mimic what you have done back there.”

“What? I have done back there?” I asked. Then after a second it came to me that I may have done that. Oh! My very pride has been smashed to smithereens. I can’t even feel my cheek.

 Who the hell with the right mid to go and talks by himself in the middle of the crowd then shouted. All I know is my conversation with Durance has been amplified by the magic of Groy and by a certain reason they did not heard the necklace, so I think they heard me alone talking to myself. And now, a girl went and mimicked my actions. The more I see her, the more my cheeks grew hot.

“Did I really did that embarrassing act?” I thought to myself.

But then, two balls of light coloring from bright yellow went covering her then before the light completely disperse she was dressed in a long gown with a fashion were women from medieval Europe wears like those. And she holds a staff something like a mages staff I think. Then the staff disappeared. Leaving only the gown.

After that, I saw the reaction of the majority of the crowd had a full 0 in their mouths. They probably thought the same as the boy who spoke to me earlier.

 “So two divine grade eh.” I murmured.

 I think I can ask these people what division is my relics are. I am dead curious about them.

The boy beside me asked, “divine grade?”

“No it’s nothing but have you seen the colors of the light that engulfed me earlier? “I said.

“It’s too bright so I closed my eyes for a while but I think its white. Why?” The boy replied with a little curiosity.

“Nahh. I am just interested in the colors of those light you know.” I said.

“You know dimwit those colors cannot be determined just like that. You must be of higher form or have a weapon equal or of higher division or grade of that weapon before you can determine. From what I know you guys are of the lowest form. So you cannot just determine those colors” Durance said.

Oblivious to what is happening around me, the girl who followed my footsteps suddenly got two immortal grade relics.

While Durance is lecturing me, the crowd started talking.

“Really can choosing relics be done just like that?” person 1

“Nah, as long as it works “. person 2

“I think I will die from shame if I do that” person 3

“Then die we will all die any. We don’t even know if we survive after this” person 4

Groy who is shocked from what happened said “,” Wohoh, that girl got a pretty good luck too. Those relics are not increasing every second you know. Well I think that may work as well. Now then let us put a time limit on choosing. Let's just say I will give you three hours for all of you to finish those who had done not get relics may die peacefully.”

Just before he finished speaking that boy beside me went the fastest near the relics then shouted with the top of his lungs “what!?”.
