Everyone turned to look at the small door that had just appeared.

”That's right…we're supposed to get a reward of Rank 8 or higher.”

The shock of the 5,000 Stat points made people forget about the quest reward for a moment, but the message quickly reminded them of why they were here in the first place. However, there were a few who weren't happy about that, either, especially from the Cheng Long Guild side.

”Didn't someone already just get a reward that's basically a Rank 8 item?”

”Yeah. Hell, it's about as good as a Rank 9 item.”

”Wouldn't he be overdoing it if he's one of the seven?”

They were talking loudly enough for me to hear, that much was obvious, but I wasn't going to just stand there and take it. I had no reason to.

I stuck my spear into the ground. I didn't really slam it, but the spear tip was buried completely into the ground and the sound of it echoed across the room, silencing everyone.

They all turned to look at me. I ignored their stares and walked over to the Cheng Long Guild and Wai Chung. I came up to him and opened my mouth to speak.

”Don't you think I've done enough against the Fallen King-Emperor to be one of the seven to enter the treasure room?”

”...” Wai Chung didn't say anything and glared at me, but I held his gaze.

For a few minutes, we stood there, glaring at each other. The Cheng Long Guild stayed silent during the whole time.

”I believe Jiwon should be one of the seven.” Song Myungsoo finally broke the silence. ”He did the most damage against the dungeon boss on his own. If we refuse him, then won't we be breaking our initial promise? It was your offer to begin with, wasn't it? To split the reward according to battle contributions?”

Wai Chung still held his glare, though. Another ten seconds passed before a huge smile formed on his face. ”Hahaha. Why are you saying something so obvious? Of course Lee Jiwon should be one of the seven; he's more than deserved it. Don't you all think so?”

”Yes, sir!” The Cheng Long Guild that had been whining a few minutes ago all shouted in unison.

”Very well.” Wai Chung and the Cheng Long Guild didn't need a word of thanks from me. One spot already belonged to me in the first place and I wasn't going to let anyone else have it.

I did give Song Myungsoo a small nod for interfering. If he hadn't, I might have had to resort to drastic measures.

The other six to enter the treasure room were chosen quickly. Song Myungsoo, Haein, and Dogun were chosen from the Sunbin Guild and Wai Chung, Weiban and Xia Fang were chosen from the Cheng Long Guild.

We left the remaining 18 devas and headed for the small door.

[You have entered the King-Emperor's Hidden Treasure Room.]

The treasure room was simpler than I had expected. In the center of the room was a small set of stairs that led to a stage-like structure. Up on the stage were six random chests that were emitting a light alternating between orange, red, and purple.

The message clearly said seven people but there were only six chests.

”What is this?”

”Why are there only six?”

Everyone else was confused at the situation, but I knew why there were only six. In the past, the Cheng Long Guild had prevented any information about the boss room from leaking but somehow, rumors about the treasure managed to get out.

The reason I had to get into the treasure room was because of an item I heard about in my past life, an item called the King-Emperor's Commitment. This item was obtained by one of the Cheng Long Guild's healers who followed Wai Chung into the treasure room after they defeated the King-Emperor.

-Those were some…unbelievable effects.-

Most items could only have certain effects on them. For example, Penetration is an effect that could only show up on weapons. Armor and accessories could have Penetration Resistance, but not Penetration.

The bracelet the healer had revealed didn't have Penetration, but the effects it had were unbelievable.

-What were the effects again…increase Heal magic effectiveness, raise Mega Heal by one level, and Heal spell cooldown reduction?-

The bracelet didn't have the normal stat boosts or even CRIT boosts and only boosted Heal magic-related spells. It was basically an accessory made for healers.

According to the rumors, the healer was given offer by the treasure room since she hadn't chosen a chest. Of course, she couldn't, as Wai Chung had ordered her to be excluded, but that was a blessing in disguise.

She was given the chance to create the King-Emperor's Commitment with whatever effects she desired. She did have to fulfill certain requirements before she could add on whatever effect she wanted and each time she failed, she would lose an effect. She had failed four times and could only add on three effects.

Still, the bracelet she created was Rank 10. It was the ultimate accessory for a healer!
