âI still think my loyalty to Ark-nim is deeper than yours. YetâŚ.yetâŚ.if youâre not here then how can I win? Cowardly b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Stupid b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Ugh, youâŚ.youâŚ.reallyâŚ.â
And he couldnât continue talking through his dripping tears. Ellain was embracing the crystal golem. Ellain and Basak had been in a compet.i.tion over Ark but Basak sacrificed his body and turned into the crystal golem.
In fact, the person who was most attached was Ellain. They hadnât even met each other for one day but they were always arguing.
Yet Arkâs battle with Set ended, the Baius Shield returned to what it was when he found it on Rakunka. The Baius Shield had probably only reached the previous level because of Basakâs remaining will. Basakâs will mixed in with the ancestors and the Baius Shield reset to its initial state. Of course, the crystal golemâs memory was also reset.
âWhat? You? Why are you spreading your runny nose on my body? Canât you just fall?
Despite Ellainâs tears and runny nose, the reaction of the crystal golem was cold. Well, it was sad in its own wayâŚ..
There was another sad thing. The Elimâs spiritual mentor who had been with Ark through this whole journey, Tot. After the battle against Set, Tot was found unconscious next to the pyramid and still hadnât regained consciousness.
âIt seems that Setâs dark force as rooted itself in his heart and it seems impossible that he can regain his consciousness. But Tot has devoted his life to being the Elimâs spiritual mentor. His body canât recover due to the dark force but his spirit is protected by a powerful force of light. That is Totâs will. I will accept Totâs will and move his spirit to a new container so that he can be revered as an Elim mentor in the future.â
That was Kuhwenâs explanation. In the end, Basak and Tot. The two people Ark first met when arriving on Muratio Star had sacrificed them to end the rebellion.
Basak joined with the Baius Shield. And Totâs spirit would live in another form, but anyway! Setâs rebellion was ended. AndâŚ..
âHereâŚ.!â
Ark looked down with admiration.
The only city Ark saw on Muratio Star was Minaheim where he met Kuhwen. Minaheim might be called a city but it was only at the standard of a village. There were small scale machinery and hamlets that was at the level of a medieval village.
Thus he thought the other villages on Muratio Star were similar to it. But the city spread out below him got rid of such preconceptions. Skysc.r.a.pers and a huge pyramid stretched out for dozens of kilometres on the horizon. And a crowd that was difficult to guess the number could be seen in the distance.
This was the capital city of Muratio Star that flourished in the past, Hw.a.n.gdo. Once the s.p.a.ce fleet entered Muratio Star, they quickly cleared up the rebellion. The rebel army was strong enough to take over most of Muratio Starâs major cities but they were no match for the s.p.a.ce fleet.
The rebel commanders knew this better than anyone so they surrendered as soon as they knew the s.p.a.ce fleet had entered. Some rebels resisted until the end by they were smashed by the s.p.a.ce fleet. And Kuhwen and Arkâs companions unabashedly took a s.p.a.ce ship to Hw.a.n.gdo!
âYour Majesty, the coronation preparations have finished.â
âI understand. Start.â
Kuhwen nodded his head. Kuhwen and Arkâs party descended towards a deck where the Pharaohs had gathered in the centre of Hw.a.n.gdo.
âWahhhh! Prince Kuhwen!â
âPharaohs from all over the galaxy!â
âThey are the humans who helped Prince Kuhwen defeat Set! The leading role in suppressing the rebellion!â
âHooray Prince Kuhwen! Hooray Pharaohs! Hooray the militia!â
The crowd in Hw.a.n.gdo cheered as Kuhwen, Arkâs party and the Pharaohs appeared on giant floating screens. Kuhwen waited for the cheers to die down before beginning to talk.
âThe faithful residents of Muratio Star, I know you have been anxious about this undesirable situation. However the Great G.o.ds Ra, Shu and Tefnut never abandoned us. Darkness is always present in this world but the darkness is unable to beat the light. Setâs rebellion has been ended by those here! And I, Kuhwen as the new Horus declare that peace has come to Muratio Star!â
It was just after the rebellion so the coronation procedure was simple. Each of the Pharaohs had to swear allegiance to Kuhwen.
âIt is thanks to you.â
Once Kuhwen formally became Horus, he turned to Ark, Hawk and the others.
âIf I didnât have your help then it wouldnât be possible for me to stop Setâs rebellion. You donât belong to the Murat yet you were still involved in the swirl of war. This praise isnât enough. This is lacking comparing to your achievements but accept my small token of appreciation.â
âOoh! A reward?â
Arkâs eyes started shining. Kuhwen praised him to the people but as expected, he still gave compensation to the users. The compliments were nice but it couldnât even be used to wipe his mouth.
In that sense, it was great the Kuhwenâs coronation ended quickly so he could receive the compensation. Soldiers approached with a pyramid the size of a box after Kuhwen finished talking. The Murat items Ark found in ruins had also been packed in a pyramid.
Once again, the amount of achievements also applied to this quest. The rewards were granted in the order of achievements. And of course, the person with the most merit was Ark who defeated the rebel leader Set.
Kuhwen turned to Ark and spoke.
âIf it wasnât for your courage and efforts then Set wouldnât have been stopped. The Murat will bestow this upon you as praise for your courage and effort.â
Ark received a single rod from the pyramid.
-Equalizer (Unique)
Item Type: Lightsaber
Wearer Restriction: Level 120, Exclusive
Attack:Â 75~80 Â Â Â Durability: 120/120
The Murat are a peaceful pioneering species dedicated to spreading civilization to other planets in the galaxy.
But that doesnât mean there is no danger to the pioneering Murat. The universe is full of hostile species and s.p.a.ce pirates that surpa.s.s imagination. Thus the pioneering Murat had developed more powerful weapons than those used on Muratio Star.
This is a lightsaber made by a master craftsman that is given to the Pharaoh in charge of the Murat s.p.a.ce fleet. The Pharaohs are those who spread Horusâ mission for peace through the galaxy. Thus the sword was called Equalizer. But in contrast to the peaceful name, it has a sharpness that can cut anything and a ferocious energy. The makers emphasized durability above anything else and the sword can be used even after thousands of years have pa.s.sed.

<strength>âRare lightsaber!â</strength>
<strength>Arkâs mouth gaped open. The last sword he received was the Heirâs Sword after changing professions. But the Heirâs Sword wasnât that awful compared to the level 120 sword he just received.</strength>
<strength>The Heirâs Sword was 65~70 while Equalizer was 75~80. There was only a 10 point difference. Heirâs Sword added 20 points to states while Equalizer was only 15 and 10. It actually fell instead. However the attack speed was 8% higher.</strength>
<strength>An additional ability was added to cover the stats that fell! The Heirâs Sword had the special option to increase recovery speed while Equalizer raised all skill effects by 50%! It consumed 1,000 Force and only lasted for 10 minutes but the rise in combat option was terrific. But there was a separate reason why Ark was happy.</strength>
<strength>âI can still use this after thousands of years?â</strength>
<strength>Once again, Ark wasnât in his original time and s.p.a.ce. If he returned to his original world then there was a chance any items obtained here would disappear. Of course, the probability of it disappearing in the future was low but there was a chance it wouldnât work anymore. Yet the Equalizer had a âthousand year warrantyâ attached to it. It was packed with confidence.</strength>
<strength>âButâŚâŚâ</strength>
<strength>Ark turned around with an uncomfortable expression. He didnât like that Hawk also receive a similar level of compensation. Ark could see Hawk receiving a pair of unique beam daggers! The thought of Hawk receiving similar compensation to himself caused a stomach-ache. Ark couldnât rejoice at the sight of Hawk receiving a unique pair of daggers.</strength>
<strength>âYes, doesnât he have a lot of money?â</strength>
<strength>He really couldnât like that guy. Anyway, the other members of the main team also received weapons. Of course, they didnât receive unique weapons like Ark and Hawk. Most of the equipment wasnât different from their original world. Kuhwen was sorry so he gave extra gifts to a few members. That wasâŚ..</strength>
<strength>âI was a useless baggage who just watched. You are more skilled with the pistol than any Murat I know. I canât allow you to remain a nameless gunner. I will personally bestow the t.i.tle of Saint Gunner.â</strength>
<strength>Kuhwen said this to Rapid.</strength>
<strength>-Your subordinate Aram has changed occupations to <saint>.</saint></strength>
<strength><saint>A Saint Gunner is a specialized profession among the Ranger series.</saint></strength>
<strength><saint>They canât wear heavy armour so strength is low but they have high stamina and hit rate. Once changed to Saint Gunner, a considerable bonus will be given to pistol related skills and a new pistol related skill can be learnt.</saint></strength>
<strength><saint>This is a specialized profession so there will be a penalty when using other guns.</saint></strength>
<strength><saint><strength>The information window that popped up in front of Ark! Kuhwen had gifted a magic item and a profession. So far Rapid had been unemployed with no profession. Galaxian was a game with no profession training centre and it wasnât necessary to find a profession compared to a decent body coating.</strength></saint></strength>
<strength><saint><strength>Of course, a profession wasnât required. Whether it was a user or NPC, the basic path of a warrior, engineer or esper was decided by the body coating. It acted like a profession so there was no problem with the growth of a character. However, Rapid just received profession related stat bonuses and profession related skills. It was required but not required. That was a profession in Galaxian. And now Rapid had received a profession.</strength></saint></strength>
<strength><saint><strength>Of course, this wasnât limited to Rapid. It was the same for users like Kurakan and even NPCs.</strength></saint></strength>
<strength><saint><strength>-Your subordinate Kurakan has changed professions to a <heavy>.-Your subordinate Ellain has changed professions to a <sword>.-Your subordinate Berad has changed professions to a <destructor>âŚ..</destructor></sword></heavy></strength></saint></strength>
<strength><saint><strength><heavy><sword><destructor>Arkâs employees changed professions! Change profession! Change profession! Professions had also been given during the quest. Surprisingly that was Ferguson, A and B. Ferguson, A and B were users with similar levels to Ark. He had reached the 18th rank with no profession.</destructor></sword></heavy></strength></saint></strength>
<strength><saint><strength><heavy><sword><destructor>Of course Ferguson, A and B were given professions. As the quest progressed and Kuhwen was protected, they were given the profession of Bodyguards! They had a steady body from now on thanks to Kuhwenâs consideration. However Kuhwen was forced to worry one last time.</destructor></sword></heavy></strength></saint></strength>
<strength><saint><strength><heavy><sword><destructor>The person Kuhwen was worrying about was Tori. Tori about been near Kuhwen since the time they left Minaheim. However he couldnât think of what compensation to given Tori. He didnât fight the enemy like the other team members nor did he protect Kuhwen with his body like the 3 monkey brothers.</destructor></sword></heavy></strength></saint></strength>
<strength><saint><strength><heavy><sword><destructor>From the beginning Tori had been hiding somewhere safe until he had to play Kuhwen. Kuhwen couldnât easily think of a profession to give the hamster. But the smart Kuhwen soon found the answer.</destructor></sword></heavy></strength></saint></strength>
<strength><saint><strength><heavy><sword><destructor>âI understand that youâre not a common person. You have a great knowledge of machines. This knowledge will surely help Ark in the future. Polish up that knowledge as I give you the t.i.tle of Professor.â</destructor></sword></heavy></strength></saint></strength>
<strength><saint><strength><heavy><sword><destructor>The feeling of being forced to give something outâŚ.</destructor></sword></heavy></strength></saint></strength>
