After he equipped the whole set, he got a tremendous power up. All combined, he got:
+1160 DEF, +700 VIT, +230 AGI, 4 Skills, and an Aura. He also got two Hidden Attribute increases: +1 PER, and +2 CHA. Then there was the Mysterious Ring, that he didn't know what was so special about it to have such an amazing Skill. The whole set even grew with his Level, at least until Level 100.
Growth Type Equipment was rare, so if someone got their hands on a piece, and a whole set to be exact, they could gain even more power. If Roy wanted to sell or exchange a piece, he could do so for something of a higher rarity. Not to mention the fact that he had the whole set, which would all together sell for even more! The ring also increased two different Hidden Attributes, so there was no doubt about it's value, or power.
He wanted to get the Appraisal Skill as soon as possible so that he could see the details for himself, but it cost 100 Gold Coins. Even then, he first needed to Level Up. He also had the Elite Sword Reward, and the Titles left, so he needed to deal with those first.

"What! These are insanely good! Okay, okay... This is amazing! Luck, Perception and Fortitude +2. That's awesome! And even a 1.5 x passive Multiplier! But what's that? 'Achievements Pack 1'? Does that mean, that I can get more Achievements? Maybe... I'll have to find out later. But Regeneration, that's even better than Healing! I can't believe I got that!"
Roy was very glad that he got Regeneration instead of Healing. The main difference between the two is that Healing will patch up wounds, like his earlier lost arm, and restore LP. While Regeneration would grow you back a new arm and restore LP.
"But wait..." He said in a grim tone. "Shit! I could have gotten 2 extra Luck Points for the Equipment Pieces... Well, it's too late now. No point to think about it anymore."
After a while he proceeded to enable all of the Titles he got. "Now... the last thing is the 'Swords' Reward."
He thought about it, and decided that he will chose the 'Less but Better' deal.

"???"
"A Secret Weapon? How is that better than a Legendary one?" Roy asked himself, confused. He had never heard of a Secret tier / rarity before. There were only around a hundred Legendary Tier Equipment Pieces publicly know in the whole God World, so how could there ever be a higher Tier? When he thought about it for a while, it didn't seem impossible. But even then, how could a Secret Weapon ever help him. You could only equip something that was within your power level, or in other words: only use things of which requirements you met. For the first 3 Tiers of quality, that would still be quite low, but after that, the requirements would increase more and more.
From Tiers 0 (Trash) - 3 (Rare), the power would only increase 10 x per Tier. From Tier 3 to 4 (Supreme), it would be 100 x. From Tier 4 to 5, 1000 x. And then an absolutely massive leap. From Tiers 5 to 7 it would be a whole 1 000 000 x. From Tier 7 to Tier 8 (Legendary) the general public didn't even know. That secret would be kept from them, because those who had Tier 8 weapons were one of the absolute strongest people known. So of course, they didn't share these secrets. If a Secret Weapon really was Tier 9, then it would be useless to him, or at least for a very, very, very long time.
It was true that if he got an Elite Weapon, he could not use it right now. But he could get it after some time, if he survived that long. It would be long time, but if and when he could use it, then there would be a massive leap in his power.
After he thought for some time, he asked himself "Wait... tenth person? There are nine more people out there with Secret-Tier equipment?" He thought that those must be the true rulers of the universe. If even one of those people could use a Secret Weapon, they could most probably annihilate every know life form.
"Let's just check the title for now"
[Title: Secret Weapon Holder!:
I can personally tell that Orbo would help you the most. So I'll put you on a 'path' to meet him. Be sure to be nice to him, or you'll be in danger ;). Even I couldn't help you then.
This Title is always Enabled, you cannot Disable it.]
"Orbo? Who is that? And is the God World's System controlled by someone? It said that it would put me on a path with him... So it's supposedly helping me? But I don't know who this person even is... and I'm supposed to meet him..." He pondered for a while, and decided that he would do things normally. And if he meets someone named Orbo, he would ask him who he is, and decide if he could trust him. If not, he could only run and hide, maybe not even that. If this person has power to deal, and know about Secret Weapons, then he couldn't ever fight them. Not to mention that they are related to something that can at least influence the system.
And this Title was always enabled, something he had never heard about before. There were things like a constant reputation in a region or with a group, but those were under the condition that the other party could identify you if they met you...
Roy left to return to town to purchase a Common Sword. He got a fairly good one for 83 SC. It would have cost him more, but he was around 31 times smarter than a normal person (not to say that the seller had nothing that increased his Stats). He bargained for a while with the old NPC Merchant, who was nasty to say the least. He wanted 250 SC just for a normal Common Sword. The most expansive a Common Sword could be worth was 125 SC, and even then, it would have to be something special.
He thought it was time to accept his first Quest, so he went to a Town Guard to get an extermination-type Quest. It was, of course, for killing Skeleton Monsters for Common Skeleton Bones. It was a Beginner Quest so he only needed to collect 10 of them, which he could complete 500 times. But he wanted to hand over more than the required amount for a better reward. 500 times the amount would be good, but he wanted even more. If he could at least get to 10 000 bones (1000 times the amount), maybe he could even meet someone important in Dener.

"He didn't even notice that I made it to require only a 100 x Multiplier to Upgrade from Elite to Legendary. He could at least be Grateful..."
"Ehh. Just let him be. He is only a human child, how could he ever understand what you did for him." someone said in an arrogant voice.
"Yes my Lady," another person said, in a more respectful voice. "he is but a child. You can't be too mad with him."
"..."
"If I may suggest, my Lady, maybe you should test (punish) him a little. To show that you disapprove of this treacherous behavior." The respectful voice said again.
"Maybe I should... Fine, I'll cause him a little trouble." she said with a smile.
