I grabbed the box and looked at it.
It looked interesting; I don't think I have ever seen something before…
It emanated a strange aura from within.
[Level Up Gift Box (D)]
A special item of D-Grade gifted to you for leveling up the first time, by opening it, you can acquire a random item within the D Rank Item pool, including Equipment, Consumables, and more.
How does this even works? Creation Magic? How does it even generates random items?
These things are confusing me beyond belief. Does the Grimoire makes it out of magic? What sort of magic?
I remember that there was magic capable of creating items. After reaching a certain level of magic power and divinity, it was possible for me to create items out of thin air with mere thoughts.
I used such powers to create special equipment for my troops and also to generate an endless storm of legendary weapons which made Lucifer have a slightly hard time against me.
Hm, oh well, let's open it, no point in wondering about it over and over again. I am wasting too much time.
I opened the box and… a bright light came out of it.
The box suddenly disappeared, and what remained was something.
And it was… what is this?
A card. An item card of some sort…?
It looked green, and it had the words "EXP" on it.
It looked as if it were made of plastic, but I had never seen it before.
An EXP Card that enhances your EXP learned by x10 for 1 hour. Usable only once.
As simple as that, it was an item that multiplied the EXP I gained by x10…
Perhaps if I were a teenager dreaming of RPG games, I would find this exciting.
But this entire System thing is really something I dislike. It feels as if Lucifer was just watching over me and trying to get out of me some type of amusement?
Hm… Well, I cannot just trouble myself with this forever, I have to continue living my life.
But why is he giving me this?
First the Hard Worker Skill and then the EXP Card.
Doesn't this completely defeats the purpose of being cursed with low EXP earning?
Perhaps it is a way to help me… well, I guess.
Its not like it is too game changing. The Hard Worker Skill is permanent, but it seems it could take a while to even Level Up one day, and for now, the EXP Card can only be used once for 1-hour effects, so I cannot abuse it for prolonged periods of time either.
I saved the card for later, it might come in handy whenever I am facing many enemies at once and I feel confident in being able to defeat them, maybe.
"What was that?" wondered Eleanora while yawning.
"…You sneaked into my bed and ended sleeping at my side last night." I said.
"Eh?! Ah…" Eleanora was caught red-handed, she was even sleeping under my blankets, even her legs were coiled around mine, as if she wanted to share our warmth.
"Well, I don't mind it, but next time you should ask first." I said.
I petted her as I gave her a smile.
"A-Asmodeus…" she muttered while blushing.
Eleanora covered her face with her hands and then averted her eyes from me, she had grown too shy out of the sudden.
Now, the demon topic.
Should I tell my parents?
If I tell them I went to kill Demons they might go insane.
So perhaps I should keep that a secret for now.
Should I keep them and just eat the meat over time?
Or maybe go sell them? I saw other people sometimes bringing the corpses of Imps. The same way as monsters, they are eaten for their meat.
It appears that after death, the demonic energy leaks out and they're not lethal to eat… Although it appears they're used as alchemy materials too, and crafting materials as well.
Their skin is very hard so it can make some good leather armor.
And about the demonic cores? They're not exactly spirit orbs, so I would need to investigate that into more detail and see what people use them for.
Have people somehow adapted the usage of demonic energy or see it as something evil that shouldn't be used? It can't certainly be used the same as mana…
When I took it out of the bag where I stored it, I noticed it was emanating an eerie presence from within…
This is… quite interesting.
It is already a Cursed Weapon it seems.
The Grimoire suddenly showcased a page with the exact image of the spear right at its side when I grabbed it…
[Cursed Wooden Spear (Rare-Grade): Lv1 (EXP: 0 / 1000)]
Demonic Predation: Can grow stronger by predating in Blood, Spirit Orbs, Demonic Cores, and more. It can grow faster if it consumes the blood of Demons.
Accursed Wounds: Inflicted wounds with this spear might not heal as fast, and rotting would begin faster.
A Weapon made out of strong wood for its handle and a sharp blade made of iron for its tip. If used by a skilled fighter, it can pierce through an enemy's body.
After soaking in Demon Blood, it had evolved into a Cursed Weapon.
I didn't even know weapons had Levels too… apparently it can level up by absorbing energy. So it is alive? Interesting…
It gained two new Abilities, which seem to be fitting of a Demon. I suppose I can use them to properly fight them even more easily than before.
This seems like an interesting weapon, and if it's my father's weapon, I might as well keep using it… he has yet to recover, so I will take as many demon lives as possible with it.
