Chapter 30: Chapter 29: The Rank 8 Item, Part I

Editor: RED
I trekked down the mountain after I was teleported to the dungeon's entrance.
The sun had just about fully set, and it was swiftly getting darker.
The clothes I was wearing were in complete tatters, I was caked in dried blood, and I just felt extremely grimy.
I ran quickly ran down the mountain and decided against taking a cab. Instead, I ran back to nearby Insu-dong to get back to my rooftop room as fast as possible.
There were a lot of people who seemed to be shocked at my speed, but I ignored them and headed straight to the rooftop room. Rather than take the stairs to the fourth floor, I decided to wall-jump a couple times to get to the top.
It was only possible because my agility was over 1,500!
------------------------
”Phew. It's been a long, tiring, but meaningful day.”
I defeated a boss monster that I could never have dreamed about in my past life. I did it alone!
That reason alone was enough to celebrate!
”I'll have ten servings of pork belly for dinner tonight. I should wash up first...”
I tossed aside the clothes that were now rags and showered. After my shower, I went back to the table where I had left the five items I had found.
”The orc soldier's sword is only Rank 1, so I should just sell that at the Store...”
The Bukhan Mountain dungeon's boss dropped a hundred thousand golden rings, but selling the weapon was still going to net me another 300 golden rings, so I decided to take it with me.
”I should get the orc champion's armor and greatsword repaired and keep using them.”
The orc champion's armor was only Rank 2 and its stats weren't that great ,but it was still better than nothing, so I decided to repair and keep it. The greatsword was going to have to last me until I found a useful spear.
”Hehehe.”
Just looking at the shiny, blue belt made me smile!
”Item check!”
[Red Orc Tribe's Ruby Encrusted Belt (Rank 6)
The red orc tribe's most valued gemstone is the red ruby. The Red Orc tribe believes that they are born from rubies and that they return to the rubies upon death. The nobler and stronger members of the tribe have their master craftsmen select the rubies of the highest quality for them.

”Hehehe! I'll keep this with me forever! Equip!”
It was awesome the more I looked at it. It was so great that I could probably look at for a whole day and not get tired of it.
[You have equipped Red Orc Tribe's Ruby Encrusted Belt (Rank 6). Would you like it to be visible to others?]
”Of course I would!”
The ruby-encrusted belt looked expensive even at a quick glance. The large, bright red ruby in the middle of the belt just screamed ”I'm an expensive item!”
”Ah! That's not right. There's no one out there right now that will recognize the value if I make it visible. Walking around with the belt visible right now will definitely attract some annoyingly unwanted attention. I should make it invisible...”
I switched the belt's settings right away.
”Whew. By the way, this one is…damn.”
I looked at the last item on the table.
It was the item from the fourth random chest after I opened the three duds.
The item shone with a red light. This was a unique item, AKA a red item, Rank 8 and was right there right before my eyes.
”Item check!”
[Orb of Vitality (Rank 8)
The Orb of Vitality is one of the 5 Orbs in existence. Once this item comes into your possession, the Orb is bound to you. The Orb collects 1 VIT point a day, starting on the day you obtain the Orb.
There is no limit to how much Vitality the Orb can collect. When you consume the Orb, the Vitality points the Orb collected will be added to your total VIT stat.
Bind on pickup.
The Orb of Vitality will dissolve once consumed. Once consumed, the collected Vitality is transferred to the consumer.
While the Orb is in your possession, Health regenerates by 500 per tick.
Current Vitality collected: 1]
It was definitely a Rank 8 item, because it oozed a red haze. It even said Rank 8 in the item's description!
”But it really is a damn shame.”
There were so many other Rank 8 weapons, armor, and accessories, like Song Haein's Overcoat of Rage, Warrant of Tutelage, or her Hestia's Authority. It was such a bummer that I just got an Orb of Vitality.
In the long run, the orb wasn't a bad thing.
If I could hold out for another ten years, until that fateful day before I turned back in time, and kept collecting Vitality points, I could end up with 3650 vitality points, for free!
