Episode 46-Wind of Change (6)
‘I can’t believe there is such a reward.’
I was dazed. It was a reward I couldn’t even imagine, let alone expect. Even if you search through any ranker’s strategy video, you will not find an item like this.
Because this is not just an NPC programmed by developers, but the heart of a real person who gave it away with sincere gratitude.
[Hermit Cloak]
“Actually, this is not something I made. It’s a special item that I got by chance about 10 years ago. I knew there was a special power inside it, like when I created my masterpiece, but I couldn’t figure out exactly what it was. “I think you know.”
The armorer gave me this black cloak that he said he had acquired in the past and explained the story. This black cloak with a slight decoration of gold thread was clearly an item that did not exist in the existing game, but it was treated as a type of equipment for my character to wear.
‘Action assistance and hiding.’
The armor craftsman said that despite his efforts, there was no way to find out what the power contained in the cloak was. However, in my eyes, all the special functions of this cloak were displayed as tooltips.
Even if you just read the effects, you can see that it is quite a useful piece of equipment. It was a good way to strengthen my character, who had to keep up with Riena, who continued to become stronger.
[First Achievement Accomplished: True Heart]
[Reward selection possible]
“uh?”
However, this opportunity was not simply an opportunity to strengthen one of my characters.
When I saw the message that came up next, I froze in shock. It was recognized as an achievement rather than simply an in-game quest, and the reward was completely different from what I expected.
[Hermit Cloak optional]
My mouse, which had nowhere to go, twitched. Regardless of what I was told to choose, the only reward I could choose right now was the Hermit’s Cloak that I had just acquired.
‘Is it possible to bring this to reality?’
Of course, it wasn’t important what item I chose now. What was really important was that I could bring that item on the screen into reality, just as I had applied one of Riena’s characteristics to myself as a reward in the past.
There was no other option. With my heart pounding, I chose the hermit cloak, and soon the monitor suddenly flickered and spat out something at me without any warning.
Immediately, I struggled to hold on to the large area of black cloth that fell on my face, but thanks to my improved motor skills, I barely managed to avoid falling.
“…It’s real.”
And I looked down at the soft object in my hand and laughed helplessly. The items I saw in the game really popped out in front of my eyes.
“under.”
Suddenly, I burst into laughter. If it sticks out from inside the monitor, it can’t be just a piece of cloth.
Thinking that I might have brought the same items from the game, I quickly got up from my seat and unfolded my cloak. A large cloak that can cover most of my body, which is quite tall. Wearing it itself is awkward.
But somehow I succeeded in putting it on my shoulder and wrapping it around my body.
It wasn’t difficult to use the mysterious power contained in this cloak. Because I could intuitively feel that it was working as I wanted without any special trigger.
The cloak twitched, feeling as if something was being pulled out of the body.
‘How do I check?’
The tooltip said action assistance and stealth, but when I picked up the phone and looked at it on the black screen, I could see my appearance unchanged.
It seems that it is not invisible to my eyes as a user. Because that would be uncomfortable.
So the solution I came up with was to take a picture using my cell phone. Hidden techniques that are captured on CCTV are of no value in the modern world anyway.
‘It really works.’
And I laughed when I saw the results. It was clear that I had taken a picture of myself using the front camera, but nothing was visible on the screen.
Stealth, the function written in the tooltip, was actually applied. It would be necessary to check whether or not it would be caught by various sensors, thermal imaging cameras, or infrared cameras beyond simple cameras, but for now, I focused on the fact that the item actually worked in this reality.

It is not important whether this item can be used in real life or not. These rewards will continue to be given in the future, so I become safer each time. That was the most important thing.

“Why is this happening all of a sudden? “Just accept it.”
“He does this sometimes.”
When he was struggling, holding on to the cape that stuck out in reality.
In the game, the armor craftsman scratched his head as he looked at him standing blankly like a mannequin, holding his cape. Riena, who was already accustomed to his eccentricities, did not pay much attention to them.
Anyway, even if you stay still like that, it will come back after a while.
“This armor I’m giving you is my masterpiece. I wasn’t satisfied with simply selling it for money, so I was saving it. “I hope it will be written by a real article, not just someone with a lot of money.”
“…I accept it gratefully.”
The armor craftsman smiled as if he was sad as he removed the cloth that covered it. It was said to be a reward for saving her daughter, but Riena, who had never received a gift like this before, did not know what to do and could only say thank you.
“Looking back now, it was a wise choice to make it just for use here.”
“This, this.”
An item that can only be obtained in this dark blood world and a masterpiece by a craftsman has finally been revealed.
The craftsman tapped his work with a proud expression, and Riena stiffened when she saw it. Although it was proper armor in terms of material, functionality, and some of the decorations, it was slightly different from the armor she was expecting.
“Is the armor originally like this here?”
“Why are you doing that? What’s the problem? “I think it would suit you well.”
Riena finally opened her mouth, pointing her finger at the armor to her father-in-law.
In fact, the craftsman was busy boasting about the armor, saying it was a masterpiece with basic automatic repair functions powered by the wearer’s mana, control functions, and even enhanced anti-magic power.
‘Are they even wearing armor like this here?’
At least at this moment, not only Riena, who closed her eyes tightly, but even the craftsman who made this armor had no idea that this armor-like armor that exposed parts of the thighs and chest was originally the result of some kind of mod created by players. .
So I had no choice. I have no choice but to wear it.
‘Come to think of it, when I first received a recommendation for this game, I installed the mod as well. I installed it without knowing what it was, but it was something like this.’
He folded the cloak he brought out into reality, put it aside, and sat down on the chair again. He sighed and pulled out his hair when he saw the armor Riena had received. In the first place, this was a game he installed after being recommended by a friend.
This was the result of installing it as my friend told me, without knowing literally anything.
‘This is the only mode installed.’
While Riena was changing the armor she had acquired, he checked the game files to see if there were any other variables he had installed.
As a result of that confirmation, fortunately or unfortunately, the only mod installed was one that slightly changed the appearance of items or characters.
“Rather, wouldn’t this make our defense weaker? “I feel uneasy.”
“You don’t have to worry. Because it is structured to maximize functionality. “If you’re as skilled as you, that’s no problem, right?”
Riena had disbelief, but since it had been realized with the mod applied, the armor craftsman firmly believed that this was the perfect form to maximize performance.
He was at a loss for words as he watched those lines on the other side of the screen, but for Riena, who was experiencing such special equipment for the first time, it was ultimately best to believe that what the craftsman said was right.
Even what the father-in-law said was not wrong. Riena’s skills have long since surpassed the presence or absence of armor.
“Is there still somewhere left to go?”
And Riena didn’t even have time to feel awkward. After leaving the workshop, he headed to the already decided destination for his next plan, and she had no choice but to follow him, whether others were watching or not.
‘Soo, shame on you!’
But it still took time to get used to it. Although she comes from a grassland tribe that is relatively free-spirited and doesn’t care much about exposing her skin, she has lived since childhood as a warrior who has to fight rather than as a woman.
She was lucky that he arrived at his destination and finished the day’s work without proceeding any further.
“It doesn’t look like anything out of the ordinary, so I guess a lot has happened.”
“Yes.”
When Riena returned to the village. Varun, who had already returned around the same time, chuckled when he saw her outfit.
Varun didn’t really care how Riena reacted. The attitude was that everything was God’s will.
“I want to get rid of their nest near the village as soon as possible. I couldn’t dare to do it before, but what do you think now? “You have acquired new equipment, and the number of warriors, including Rakum, has increased by three.”
Varun had other things to worry about. Attacking the bug nest that appeared near the village just a few days ago.
Riena, who had entered the place to explore, decided that it was absolutely impossible now, but it would have been foolish to continue to neglect the demon cave just because monsters did not appear right away.
Varun argued that they were much stronger now than when they first noticed the place, so they should not try again.
“I think it’s worth a try.”
Riena, who knew why she was struggling in the game world, agreed with Varun’s words. Now that I had trustworthy allies to fight with, I felt like I could fight that huge, horrible spider I saw inside the nest.
“If those who went out to scout find something and come back, let’s try to attack again the next day.”
After confirming her will, Varun decided to proceed with the attack the moment those who were out scouting far away returned.
I was confident that it wouldn’t take that long. Just as he caught those who had gone far and brought them back, if the scouting party found something, he would look at it and then bring it back to the village.
‘Are we going to end here this time?’
In fact, among the scouts spread out in all directions, he found those who had decided that they could no longer advance and were trying to return, and using mouse control, he led them across the space in one go to the village.
There were times when hostile demons or wild beasts appeared from time to time, breaking mouse control and threatening exhausted residents, but each time, his giant hammer fell from the sky and crushed the enemies’ bodies entirely.
