Is this really a Game?!

[ Rank SS Re-forged Sword of Dominance ]

Atk: 300

Agility + 40%

Strength + 30%

Spirit + 40%

Willpower + 30%

Lightning damage + 20%

Description: A sword of a forgotten swordmaster, even though the sword had once been broken, it has successfully been re-forged and made stronger than ever by the combined efforts of two smiths. When using the sword the users' mana will have a 90% increase in mana efficiency and a 60% increase in attacking power. By channeling mana, the user can create a sword-clone of himself that will fight alongside him for 20 minutes. The sword clone will have 80% of the player's stats. The player can activate the skill once per day.

To say that Reign was shocked by the increase in stats he had received from the sword would be an understatement. Even though he had a rank S sword, when comparing the two, they were simply incomparable. Not only did the sword have an incredible attack, but the boost to stats and the increase in mana efficiency and attack power were incredible as well.

The skill that he had received from the sword was especially good. To have a clone of yourself that had 80% of your stats fight alongside you for 20 minutes was crazy and it was enough to turn any hard battle around. Seeing that he could actually activate the skill once a day shocked Reign even further as it was simply too much.

"Broken, this, this is just broken man," Reign muttered as he looked at the sword with disbelief as he quickly opened his status to check his stats after equipping the sword.

Strength: 107 (204) (+17 from ability, +37 from item, + 40%)

Agility: 121 (252) (+22 from ability, +31 from item, + 65%)

Endurance: 81 (112) (+11 from ability  +20 from item)

Vitality: 81 (109) (+ 11 from ability, +17 from item)

Willpower: 83 (133) (+ 12 from ability, + 12 ??? + 2 from item, + 30% )

Spirit: 168 (306) (+17 from ability, +11 from item, + 65%)

Reign took in a breath of cold air as he stared at the stats, with the help of his sword his strength had broken through 200 while his spirit was above 300. However, even after breaking through 300 in spirit, he still hadn't received a notification about breaking through any threshold.

It mattered little to Reign at this point, however, if a new threshold was there, he would reach it after some time, that much he was certain of.

"Hey, come on man, show us the sword," Shadow said as Reign shared the status window with him and the others. The whole party stood for a moment as they stared at the screen and almost started salivating at the incredible stats the sword gave.

"Man, I gotta get some better items," Shadow said as he and the others glanced at each other before looking at Adrian who simply scoffed.

"Materials and S Coins first."

"We know." Shadow and the others said as they smirked at Adrian.

Suddenly they all took out stuff from their inventory. Since Reign had ordered his sword first, they all waited until it was finished before ordering stuff for themselves, even though they didn't have enough to order rank SS items, they were certain that Adrian could make some rank S items from the materials they had.

Wolf removed parts from a juvenile fire drake that Oto, the man that turned out to be a former comrade of his father helped him hunt. The juvenile fire drake was a high-level Tier I monster that Wolf couldn't fight on his own, Oto however helped him out and managed to kill the drake with barely any difficulty since he had evolved to Tier II at that point.

The fire drake's body was a treasure trove, its tough skin, powerful bones, fangs, and tendons could all be used as material for creating weapons and armor. It was a drake's fang that Wolf had used a long time ago to create his sword, but the drake that Oto had hunted was definitely stronger and Wolf had a lot more materials now, which would increase the rank of the weapon that would be built.

Shadow on the other hand took out numerous body parts of several Tier I monsters. He hadn't fought all of the monsters to get them, he was simply lucky enough to stumble upon a bunch of corpses during one of his missions in the other world. Compared to Wolf's parts which were almost perfect and in pristine condition thanks to Oto who made sure to kill the drake fast and without injuring the monster too badly, his were in tatters.

He was only able to get about 40% of the body of each monster since the corpses were in bad shape and now he had a bunch of materials that were simply average. He did, however, have a mana core of a darkness-type monster that could help out with the weapon-making.

Laura took out bones that belonged to demons and monsters, most of them being demonic bones, however. She needed more items that would improve her demonic energy manipulation and power, and demon bones were the undeniable best materials for that.

Tank and Beast also brought out the monster parts they had together with some other materials, mainly different types of steel that they had managed to get.

"Ohh, right!" Shadow suddenly exclaimed as he brought out a small mountain of different types of metal in front of him.

"And this." Reign suddenly said as he brought out the parts of the crocodile they had managed to kill in the mountain range. Thanks to the brutal battle the croc had, most of its body was broken and the skin was in tatters, but there was still enough to be used for making items.

"What the hell?" Adrian suddenly asked as he looked at the mountain of materials in front of him. With so many materials, he could create tens of items and the whole group would have more than enough to fully equip themselves with.

"Aham, I see that you have enough materials, but I'm not cheap, this one still needs to pay me," Adrian said as the others all glanced at Reign who simply looked at Adrian.

"Alright, how much is the sword?"

"150 000 S Coins."

"Huh?"

"150 000."

"150 000?"

"Yes, 150 000."

"What the hell, why is it so expensive?!" Reign shouted as he stared at Adrian who was smiling.

"It's a rank SS item, did ya think it would be cheap or something?"

"But I got so many materials for it!"

"That's why the price isn't higher, had you wanted me to supply all the materials, even though it would be almost impossible for me to do so, it would have been above 1 million S Coins, so be grateful kid."

"Holy" Shadow said as everybody helped Reign out with paying for his sword. Reign paid the most as it was his item after all so from the previous 55k S Coins he had, he was now down to 5k while the others all gave him 20k.

"There, pleasure doing business with you," Adrian said as Reign smiled weakly whilst holding his sword.

"Now, rank S weapons will be anywhere from 50 to 300 thousand, that, of course, depends on the quality of the finished weapon and how much materials you supplied, armors are priced similarly whilst any kind of accessories will need at least one mana core with the materials in order for me to make them, the price is anywhere from 80 to 400 thousand."

The enthusiasm the team had was fully extinguished by Adrian and his high prices. Everybody was excited moments ago as they thought they would be able to fully equip themselves with rank S items, only for their hopes and dreams to be crushed by the old man.

"Alright, so together we got about 200k, it should be enough to make weapons for Shadow, Wolf, Beast, and perhaps even for Greenie." Reign said as the others all nodded. Right now, those four were the only ones that didn't have a rank S weapon, Reign had his two swords, Laura had her wand while Tank, although still wielding a rank A weapon, would soon be able to unlock a part of its power and upgrade it to rank S.

"Luckily we already put those 4 items for sale, we should get a lot more money tomorrow, perhaps enough to even make some armor pieces." Tank said as the others all nodded.

"So, whose weapon am I making first?" Adrian asked as the four men all gathered together. Everyone wanted to get a weapon first so they had to decide who went first.

In the end, they decided to play a classic game of rock, paper, and scissors. The winner would be the one to get the weapon first.

"Nooooo!!!" Shadow shouted as he looked at Wolf who had managed to defeat him and take the number one spot at the end.

"Dammit, I'm second."

"Quit whining, Adrian will probably be finished in a day or two with my weapon," Wolf said as he went to Adrian and started talking about what kind of greatsword he wanted to be made.
