Alexia

Putting aside my damaged weapon, I look up at the top of the pyramid where I find a loot box now sitting where the coffin once was. And after a brief glance at the boss’s corpse, wishing that it was possible to bring the corpse out of the dungeon for materials’ sake, I climb my way up the stairs before stopping in front of the loot box.

A new weapon would be nice. One that I could use while getting this thing repaired.

I just hope the need sensor picks up on that, since it doesn’t always give you something you want.

Anyways, before I check out the loot box, I let my System Messages go through.

[Level 250 Fallen Bone Abomination Defeated – User’s earned EXP has been increased due to killing a being whose level is higher than their own.]

{Congratulations! You have leveled up to level 246! Your Species has awarded you +2 VIT, +2 DEX, +2 STR, +2 MAG, and +2 MEN. Your Class has awarded you +1 VIT, +1 DEX, +1 STR, +2 MAG, and +2 MEN.}

{Congratulations! You have cleared the Dungeon known as the Frozen Wastelands! Touch the loot box to claim your reward!}

{Congratulations! You have accomplished the Feat, Fallen Killer, for being the third being in the System to kill a Second Tier Chaos Monster! As a reward one of your skills chosen at random amongst your equipped skills will now be leveled up one level!}

Oh? Not bad. Also not really surprised that I’m not the first being to kill a Second Tier Chaos Monster.

Although I am a little surprised that I still get a reward even after being the third being to do it.

I open my status in order to check out my skills, only to grimace at the sight of my remaining soul.

Name: Alexia Knight Species: Quantum Reaper(T2) Level: 246 Class: Quantum Reaper Soul: 1001/21,462.5 VIT: 736 DEX: 736 STR: 736 MAG: 981 MEN: 981 Racial Skills Active Skills Passive Skills General Skills

And that’s after the boss leveled me up.

I open up my skills list to find which skill was leveled up.

A grin stretches across my face as I realize the skill it leveled up was Quantum Displacement.

Nice!

Also, that boss made for good adaptation training. Even if I don’t know what I exact affinity it was using.

I should have Quantum Adaptation at Tier 2 soon.

Maybe I should spend some time bothering Ethan to have him train my adaptation a little bit more? Just to get it to Tier 2.

I’m sure the skill will have a rather nice boost at Tier 2. And even if it’s not as high as I’d prefer, it’ll still be more progress towards removing my annoying weakness towards magic.

I close out of my skills list and status before reaching out to touch the loot box, which looks a lot like the boss’s coffin but a lot more like a chest than a coffin.

The moment my eyes land on the item that appears above the loot box though, I find my excitement drooping rather dramatically.

Because the item currently floating above the loot box, while it is a weapon, it’s not really one that I have the most experience in using.

I let out a sigh before identifying it and quickly finding my interest in the item going back up a little bit.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Elemental Bow

Description: This bow passively absorbs the elemental energy of the user as they naturally radiate it, not harming the user in any manner. Through this, the weapon takes on some minor characteristics of the user’s strongest elemental affinity.

Stats Bonus: +10 MAG, +10 DEX

Requirements: Must have one elemental affinity beyond C Grade.

Item Tier: 2

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Okay, yeah, Alara’s assumption is definitely correct. This is just a common Tier 2 weapon found in dungeons now.

Considering how there are at least a dozen people at the base with an elemental weapon just like these.

Guess soulbound items are relatively common after the Reset.

I sigh at the understanding that my polearm really isn’t anything special except for the quantum element in it before I reach for and grab the bow. And just like with the polearm, it quickly adapts to my energy and takes on a purple hue with quantum energy running through it.

Overall, it’ll make a good temporary weapon. And a good ranged weapon since I can switch between soulbound items with ease.

At least, when I don’t want to spend soul on a Quantum Bolt or something. Considering how those are better than an arrow, considering my stats.

I’ll use it for now until I get my polearm fixed. Might also trade for a sword from someone in the base to use temporarily as well.

Wouldn’t want my polearm snapping after all. Otherwise it’d probably be impossible to fix.

And I still want a bladed weapon even as a temporary one. I just work better with blades.

I dismiss the bow before beginning to look around the dungeon for the exit, quickly finding it on the other side of the pyramid from the entrance. Then I make my way over there while looking at my dungeon map, making extra sure that I don’t miss any sort of hidden areas. But I don’t find any in the room, so once I reach the exit, I reach out and touch it at which point I end up back at the entrance of the dungeon.

Time to look for a temporary blade and Shawn.

I hope the crafter joined our base.
