Asagiri's finger slid across the screen, and he began reading the detailed descriptions of the completion rewards.
----------------------------------------------------
[Cursed Vampiric Rope Dart(Quality Purple: Excellent): A sharp Rope Dart five meters long, connected by a metal chain. The crafting material is unknown, but it seems to be imbued with the power of curses, possessing the special property of being able to damage spirits. When dealing damage to enemies with this weapon, if the enemy is a physical creature, stamina is restored based on the damage dealt. If the enemy is a spirit, mental power is restored based on the damage dealt]
[Ever-changing Mask (Quality Gray: Cannot be Appraised): Exclusive equipment for the special profession Diplomat. When worn, it will switch patterns according to your choice and enhance corresponding Diplomatic rhetoric, such as threatening, inducing, and advising effects]
[King's Gambit (Skill): Can bind with another Player after obtaining their consent (no limit on the number of bindings), and activate the skill by consuming a certain amount of mental power to instantly swap positions with a bound Player]
[Skill Restriction: Maximum effective range is fifteen meters. When activating the skill, the bound Player must be within your line of sight]
[The Reverse Hourglass(One-time Item, Red Epic Quality): A pocket watch attached with special power. When the button above the pocket watch is pressed, time will rewind to one minute ago.]
[Note: After using this item, time will rewind to one minute ago. All Players will retain their memories before the rewind. Players who have died will be resurrected, and all physical injuries sustained within this minute will also disappear, but mental power and stamina cannot be restored. If the holder dies, time rewind will automatically begin]
----------------------------------------------
Asuna, who was beside him, was already shocked when she saw the descriptions of the two pieces of equipment Asagiri obtained. When she saw the effect of the "King's Gambit" skill, she was already dumbfounded, and when she saw the "The Reverse Hourglass"...
"Am I hallucinating?"
Asuna raised her hand and rubbed her eyes hard. Although her eyes felt sore due to lack of sleep, she was sure that she was conscious and her vision was fine.
"One-minute time rewind? Automatically activates if the holder dies? And... it can even resurrect dead Players!?"
Asuna had an expression of disbelief. It wasn't that she was making a fuss; it was mainly because the effect of this item was simply too outrageous!?
What is this?
This is true resurrection, a chance to turn back time to one minute ago and do it again!
And...
"Red Epic quality?"
Asuna had searched online and knew that the quality divisions in many games were based on color. Based on the equipment and items she had seen at this stage, from low to high, it should be White Common, Blue Excellent, Purple Excellent, and the next should be Orange Legendary.
How did it just skip directly to Red Epic!?
No, this effect, which can not only resurrect oneself but also resurrect teammates by rewinding time when they die, is this the kind of item that should appear at this stage?
Isn't this just ridiculously strong?
"It's alright."
Asagiri's "It's alright" almost made Asuna lose it.
You call this 'It's alright'?
"What rewards did you get?"
"Mine..."
Originally, when she saw the completion rewards she received, Asuna was still excitedly overjoyed, but after seeing the rewards Asagiri received, she wilted like a frost-bitten eggplant and weakly handed her phone to him.
"See for yourself."
Asagiri took the phone and checked the content. He found that Asuna's clearance rating and the APP's comments were largely similar to his own, except for the part about taming a Persona. Only the wording in the details was slightly different.
He was the "leader" in the action to eliminate the source of the anomaly, while Asuna "participated" in the action to eliminate the source of the anomaly.
The reward Asuna received this time was the unlocking of a unique talent and a skill.
-------------------------------------------------------
[Unique Talent: Flash]
[Talent Effect: For every enemy killed, agility, speed, and reflexes will be strengthened according to the opponent's strength rating.]
[Obtained Skill: Stinger]
[Stinger: Consumes a large amount of mental and physical energy to thrust out a sword energy that flashes white light from the sword in hand. Its power is directly proportional to the Player's speed, with a maximum effective range of ten meters.]
------------------------------------------------------
"A unique talent and a skill, huh..."
Seeing the clearance reward Asuna received, Asagiri confirmed two things.
"Although we both received an S+ clearance rating, the rewards we obtained are clearly not on the same level. It seems that achieving the same clearance rating doesn't guarantee the same tier of rewards. It's still based on the Player's individual performance in the dungeon, and... the system's rewards are not randomly distributed."
Asagiri looked at Asuna and spoke softly.
"When I was fighting that Floating Corpse Evil Spirit, did you think how good it would be if you had a long-range attack method, so you wouldn't have to just stand there and watch, fearing the corrosive mucus splashing from its body?"
Asuna wasn't stupid and immediately understood Asagiri's meaning.
"You mean... because I felt I urgently needed a long-range attack method, that's why I obtained an attack skill that can be used remotely and doesn't require close combat?"
"Exactly."
Asagiri nodded slightly, then smiled and continued.
"And I, who possess the Persona talent, don't really need attack methods like skills at this stage. Therefore, the rewards the system gave me are the Cursed Vampiric Rope Dart, which can also be used from a distance and can replenish my physical and mental energy consumption, mask-type equipment that enhances the Diplomat's negotiation effect, the King's Gambit skill which enriches our team's tactical options and has great development potential, and as a last resort to prevent sudden dangerous situations, the Hourglass of Reversal which allows me to start over at any time."
"Of course, it's not just these obvious rewards; there's also this."
Saying this, Asagiri swiped his phone and opened the section representing the Player level in the eye-icon APP.
Asuna leaned closer to look. When she saw the new privileges Asagiri unlocked after becoming a high-level Player, she couldn't help but be stunned.
---------------------------------------------------------
[High-Level Player Privilege 1: Each time you actively sign up to participate in a dungeon, you will receive multiple keywords representing the dungeon's theme. You can choose one keyword from the hints to enter the corresponding dungeon (you can bring friends along).]
[Privilege 2: Each time you clear a dungeon and obtain an S+ rating, you can limit the scope of rewards according to your will, such as deciding the number of rewards yourself (the fewer the number, the higher the value; the more the number, the lower the average value), and you can limit the type of rewards drawn (items, skills, weapons, armor, accessories).]
