184 Cursed Crates (1/2)

[Congratulations! Hidden Quest Completed, 'The One True Boss!']

[You received x1 Random Crate. The maximum Faction follower limit increased to 20.]

[Quest has been reinstated! Good luck!]

Jun received the rewards, then reread the quest description for the repeatable Hidden Quest. Nothing has changed, and it still had the same requirements and rewards.

Kill or subordinate a lord to receive a random crate, increased follower count, and if he subdued another Lord, access to subordinate's territory control.

Since he killed Marcus instead of subduing him, he didn't get to experiment with the third reward, but it was okay. There's a lot of opportunities in the future.

Jun didn't feel guilty for killing Marcus. It just happened that Jun has a quest related to Lords, and Marcus happened to be there. He didn't care about Marcus' bad reputation and just went for the kill.

The people in the room left quietly one at a time, in fear of being targeted.

Jun became surprised when a dimensional storage hovered above Marcus' body. This is a new event encounter for Jun since he has some knowledge of death circumstances.

Marcus didn't get bitten after one month in the apocalypse. Jun readily accepted that fact, considering the variety of escape tools that Marcus had on his arsenal.

But weren't they in battle earlier? The dimensional storage shouldn't appear according to his understanding.

He pondered for a moment, and could only conclude that there's an out-of-battle system in place.

After the two of them stopped fighting and Marcus got away, the system deemed Marcus as in peaceful mode, which triggered one of the three types of death.

Jun nodded his head in realization. His dimensional storage appeared beside Marcus', and then he started transferring everything that he could use.

Marcus had a vast arsenal of firearms stashed in his dimensional storage. He must've confiscated these guns from a lot of people to amass this amount. The most numerous firearms were the pistols, followed by shotguns, then assault rifles and sniper rifles. Though there's a lot of weapons, the bullets were almost running out.

Most of the bullets he found were for pistols and sniper rifles. They must have used the shotguns and assault rifles in the early days.

After nearly emptying Marcus' dimensional storage—leaving mostly clothes and ornaments—Jun saw his inventory screen and found out that he hasn't opened the Lvl.10 Weapon Crate that he received a long time ago!

He forgot about the weapon crate after reaching level 10 since numerous things happened yesterday. He brought out his Lvl.10 Weapon Crate and the Random Crate he received earlier.

He scanned his dimensional storage for more things that he might have forgotten, and voila—there is one item that got buried on the corner of his dimensional storage. A black USB stick that Evo gave him when they first met since the apocalypse.

The USB contains the list of individuals involved with his father's downfall, and Evo took one month to gather this information. There were lots of things that kept him occupied at the time, and surviving was on top that list.

'I need a laptop.'

Jun chatted Evo to place a working laptop on the Faction Storage, then opened his crates.

The Lvl.10 Weapon Crate shuffled around melee weapons and ranged weapons. The prize pool has cold weapons and hot weapons mixed together.

[You received 'Bumuth's Warhammer!']

[Bumuth's Warhammer]

[Description] Bumuth's final work. Bumuth gave his all when crafting his last masterpiece. Additional skill attached—Destruction Bash.

'This weapon is good! That's why it's a trap!'

Instead of being happy, Jun immediately doubted the weapon. He already got duped by the Ogre's club, and he won't be fooled this time.

Jun used his energy to examine the Warhammer.

The 1-meter long Warhammer became enveloped with light. It started from the handle where Jun was holding it, then crawled upward into the tip. The tip had two hammerheads on both sides that measure squarely at one foot each.

[Item description updated!]

[Enchanted Bumuth's Warhammer]

[Description] Bumuth's final work. Bumuth Greyshoulder is a hardworking dwarf who had no talent in forging. To negate his lack of talent, he used every precious iron that he has to create his only masterpiece. He hammered day and night until his hands couldn't feel numb anymore. His heart and soul were imbued into the weapon creating the additional effect Destruction Bash.

He tried auctioning his masterpiece on a nearby Human Stronghold and met a wandering Elven Enchantress who willingly enchanted the weapon.
