Chapter 24: Chapter 23: First Boss Monster Hunting, Part I
Foreword:
Thanks to everyone who's been reading along! Just some comments for you…
The novel display here on novelupdates is… rather lacking. All chapter were unloaded with bolded, underlined, and italicized parts to divide up the story and make for easy reading.
They were all cleaned off when we posted here. I would like to apologize, as we put all them in to make the story a more enjoyable read (for instance, all 'menu' items are in italics in the TL's we did), but they're gone.
Likewise, the author/editor credit was supposed to be automatic. Oh, technical error.
We've been doing this for three weeks only, so no massive book release planned. We will release at two/day, every day, however!
Thanks for your support!

”Wow. I was expecting a Rank 2 at the most, but I got a Rank 3, too!”
Item Ranks went up to 10. The higher the Rank, the better the item, making Rank 10 items the best items. In my past life, Rank 10 items were so rare, only a few ever existed.
The same went for Rank 8 and Rank 9 items. Rank 7 items were the highest anyone could ever expect to reasonably find.
Rank 3 items, like the one I just found, were used by devas around levels 200-300 and were in no way insufficient.
If you couldn't find Rank 4 items, you had to keep using Rank 3 items. Because they were found by devas quite often, Rank three items were sold and bought at fairly decent prices consistently.
Furthermore, the more Rank 3 items you had in your possession, the more you could be recognized as a decent player. Rank 3 items could be dismantled and turned into a special kind of Dust.
Rank 3 weapons yielded 20-30 Rank 3 Dust, armor yielded 10-20, and accessories yielded 30-40. You could then use the Dust in crafting. The Dust increased the chance of creating Rank 4 items.
No matter how useless a Rank 3 item seemed, it could always be sold!
”To think that I just got a Rank 3 item from the lowest leveled Bukhan dungeon. And I got it from an elite monster. I haven't even see the boss yet!”
Even better, this Rank 3 weapon boasted a pretty decent ability. Heck, that Penetration ability alone would have made it good enough for a Rank 3 deva!
”It increases penetration by a whopping 47 points. This rank-3 item could be like Rank 4 or 5.”
Penetration was an ability you did not need when facing normal monsters or low-level devas.
When facing those opponents, they would be weak enough that they would receive all damage inflicted. But when you were facing opponents with high defense and high physical resistance, penetration became important in winning the fight.
When you looked at a weapon, you need to look at its three most important stats.
First, its critical chance and critical damage. Second, its damage. Third, its Penetration level. You needed those three things to decide how good a weapon was.
The orc champion greatsword I just got had a crit chance and damage that was kind of low for a Rank 3, but its other stats made up for it.
The level 47 Penetration it had was going to make a huge difference in the upcoming boss fight.
