Enhance item
The identity of the box floating above the corpse is a random box, and all kinds of draw cards come out.
“Then where should I strengthen it?”
Excitedly, he reached out his hand toward the box.
[Enhancement cost is replaced with points instead of coins.]
＜Rating Enhancement＞
[500 points have been consumed.]
Drooling!
Pod!
The color of the box, which was filled with white aura, changed to green.
[Enhancement succeeded.]
The enhancement succeeded and the color of the box changed. What this means is one thing.
‘Rating has risen!’
It’s a dog scam. enough to break the balance of the game. No, should I say it’s reality?
I stretched out my hand once again.
[2,500 points have been consumed.]
Drooling!
Pod!
[Enhancement succeeded.]
The color of the green box changed to blue and spread out in all directions.
‘Let’s do it one more time.’
[12,500 points have been consumed.]
Drooling!
Pod!
The blue box became red.
“It’s a hero grade box.”
Points are important because there are many items to buy at the End of the Shop, but the reason for reinforcing it once more was clear.
This is because items appearing in MA require a certain level of enhancement in order to raise them from rare to heroic.
I stared at the red box floating in the air.
‘Due to the nature of the draw box, there is no loss.’
Coins are the worst reward, but since each grade is a grade, a huge amount of coins will pour out.
If you break through the low probability and get a hero grade summon or skill, it will be a great help to survive in the future.
I closed my eyes and reached for the box with excitement. As I tried to touch the box, my fingertips trembled as if I had a tremor.
Drooling!
pod
Even with her eyes closed, the energy emanating from the box was strong enough to turn the dark forest red.
‘What is it?’
He slowly raised his right eyelid.
In the place where the box disappeared, a card with a bright red border appeared.
In an instant, goose bumps ran through my body.
‘That’s coming from here.?’
Exciting!
Your heart beats faster and endorphins flood your body. I reached over and picked up the card and tore it up.
[You have obtained the secret recipe for making the ultimate homunculus ‘Black’.]
“and···.”
I couldn’t close my gaping mouth. It was that shocking.
The ultimate homunculus had a total of 6 attributes, but among them, non-alchemists could create only the dark series.
‘Dark Homunculus Black.’
He is a fraudulent being who can devour everything lower than himself and transform into a sword when he swallows a sword, and turns into a monster when he swallows a monster.
‘That wasn’t all.’
When I ate items, my stats continued to rise, and on the last day of the open beta, the guy who turned into a lich was as strong as me.
If I could only pick one out of the many items and skills I got in the game, of course he’s a great guy enough to pick ‘Black’.
That the ultimate homunculus crafting secret book is given to you as soon as you start?
In addition, the rest of the crafting materials that are difficult to obtain in the beginning are all sold by the Merchant of the End.
‘The problem is the price…’
Maybe because the materials are so expensive, I have to spend all my points to buy it, but it was worth the investment.
Nuclear bombs and aircraft carriers can be eaten, and they can change in the same way.
With a pleasant imagination, I stepped into the dark forest beyond the return portal.
***
The size of the village at a glance.
Houses burnt black.
The flying ashes and the rotting corpse.
After walking for about 30 minutes, we arrived at a ruined village where a hidden dungeon was hidden.
“Hey~”
-Hey, oh~
I tried shouting at the entrance of the village, but all that came back was an echo.
It seems I am alone too.
thump!
thump!
The village was so quiet that even footsteps echoed loudly.
whee~
As we went further in, the wind blew bitterly and the crows that had been digging up the corpses flew up.
– Caw
– Caw
‘If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s a horror game.’
I pulled up a cotton tee to stop the flying ash and moved on.
After a while.
Arrive at your destination, an old shack.
smart!
The iron hook on the old door was moved.
Took!
The iron hook broke and the rusty door opened with a creak. As if I was at home, I turned on the lantern on the shelf on the right.
‘Maybe this is it.’
As the dusty carpet was removed, a wooden door to the dungeon was revealed.
*Hidden Dungeon
From noble mtl dot com.
[Classification]:Trap
[Rating]: Advanced
[quest]:
-Remove Ratman.
[Reward]: Summons Merchant of the End
When I opened the door, a blue gate appeared in front of me with information about the dungeon.
I thought for a moment.
Even if you accidentally die in a game, you can try again, but the reality is different. One mistake and you die.
‘90% of traps are arrows.’
I wish I had a shield that could block arrows… Naturally, my eyes went to the wooden door that had just been opened.
The size is large enough to cover the upper body.
The thickness is about 10 cm.
There is even an iron doorknob that can be used as a handle. Could this be used as a shield?
To check, I applied force to the part where the hinge was connected and moved it left and right.
Took!
The hinges on the door fell off, and after a few more moves, I was able to get my hands on the wooden door.
‘Then let’s go.’
With the wooden door in his left hand and the spear in his right hand, he stepped beyond the gate.
***
Entering the dungeon, I pulled the shield close to my body and looked around.
There were two forks in the front, and on the left was a blue portal and a signpost.
[Portal to the Merchant of the End]
-Use fee: 100P
There are two ways to meet the Merchant of the End, either through all the traps and removing the rat man, or paying 100 points and going through the portal.
In the case of the latter, the grade of the item sold by the Merchant of the End was lowered, so I headed for the right path without hesitation.
Torches hanging on both walls.
A long, straight road.
‘It’s just like a game.’
Be careful though, just in case. I moved carefully, step by step, paying attention to my whole body.
-Tok tok
By the time I came inside for about 10 minutes.
The sound of dripping water was heard.
I looked at the floor and saw that it had been hollowed out by water dripping from the ceiling.
Carefully inspect the walls around you.
Dozens of holes drilled left and right.
‘It’s a trap section.’
The only way to get past this place is to activate the trap and use up all the stored arrows.
I slowly moved backwards, blocked the front with my shield, and hit the protrusion on the side of the stone with my spear.
Shu Shushuong!
Arrows flew from the front as the protruding projection went down.
Dududuk!
Could it have been blocked for 5 minutes? The attack paused for a moment, and the sound of engines working was heard.
Ugh!
I crouched down on the floor and raised my shield over my head to prepare for the shower of arrows.
Dududuk!
The sound of arrows hitting the shield.
After another 5 minutes, the attack ended.
“It’s scary.”
I lowered my shield and carefully picked up the arrow that had fallen on the floor.
Judging by the sticky arrowheads and the green color, it must have been a poisoned arrow.
When I saw dozens of poison arrows on the floor, my whole body was seized with tension.
If you get even one shot, you will slowly die with great pain.
‘Should I go back?’
Due to the nature of the tutorial dungeon, you can return at any time.
I thought for a while.
‘no.’
This is the only dangerous trap, but my feet didn’t move.
match!
Hit both cheeks with the palm of your hand.
‘Let’s not be scared.’
It reminded me of a lesson I learned from bumping into my body during field training as a player.
The competitor in every match is myself, not anyone else.
At this point, I tried so hard. There is a difference in height. The living environment is different. In Korea, this is great. In the end… isn’t it still the same now?
If you get hit by an arrow, you die.
Dangerous.
So let’s go back
Has there ever been a time when you gave up and didn’t regret it?
The result of choosing to give up was always regret. If I escape the dungeon now, I will surely regret it.
let’s go Now we just have to go a little further. Just don’t get caught up in fear and be careful with every step you take.
Fortunately, with each step I took, I was able to regain my confidence little by little.
‘How long did you walk?’
My shoulder started to stiffen. It was probably because he had walked for quite a long time holding a spear and shield while maintaining tension.
‘I just need to go a little further.’
When I went a little further inside while maintaining my tension, I saw a large iron door.
It was the boss room.
I sat down on the floor.
To take a break before dealing with the boss and to check my condition.
‘Status Window’

Looking at my quantified information, it touched me that the game had become a reality once again. Of all the many, many games, MA has become a reality.
MA is basically a game set in a dystopian setting.
Monsters constantly attacking.
insufficient food. strong and weak.
and villain.
Naturally, the law will disappear and the world of the weak will unfold.
Two days until the end.
In the meantime, you should be as strong as possible.
Only then can you survive.
After sitting down and resting for a while, we headed to the boss room.
big ears and tail.
Pointy mouth and red eyes.
The approximate size is 1m.
The boss is, as expected, a humanized rat.
It was rat man.
***
hooked!
The spear pierced Ratman’s head.
[You have attacked the dungeon.]
The space above Ratman’s corpse began to shudder, and soon a black portal was created and a man covered in black appeared.
“also. You were the first to summon me.”
A familiar voice.
Height well over 190 cm.
A black raven perched on his shoulder.
He was the Merchant of the End.
“Do you know me?”
“Old man, if you don’t know you, you’re a spy. You should have seen me too.”
“That would be in the game.”
“It was a game. It has become a reality.”
“Can I check if it is a hologram?”
He smiled and opened his arms, the sleeves rolling back to reveal his tattooed left arm.
I reached over and put my finger on the exposed skin.
He was not a hologram, judging from the fact that the touch of his fingertips was as soft as a human’s.
“Is it confirmed?”
“Okay, show me some stuff.”
