Chapter 98: Chapter 98 \nI searched the Graf corpse as I muttered that I was in the first place, just in case.\n
[You have completed the âGraf Extermination.â]
[You have gained 1500 points.]
[You have gained a Silver Box as the first completion reward.]
Yeonhee was automatically assigned second place while she was resting, and my heart skipped a beat as the Silver Box opened. I had gotten points in âThe Man Who Overcame Adversityâ from a Silver box, even though points for it should only come out of a Gold Box. Despite my disappointment at getting only 11 points, if it happened againâŠ
[You have gained 12 Earthquake points.]
[Earthquake: F(12)]
I was very disappointed, as I would need to throw away the Earthquake skill in the future. The Silver Box was meaningless.
[Accumulated Points: 2100]
I tried opening a Bronze Box to test things.
[You have opened a Bronze Box.]
[You have received 3 Strength Points, but they are canceled.]
Since my Strength stat was already E class, I could not receive points from a Bronze Box. Now two boxes had been duds, and I wore a rigid face. I had no ritual before opening boxes, but now I was tempted to wash like Yeonhee. However, the thought did not last. I had tried such superstitions before in my previous life, like lighting incense and praying.
I had even used someone who had betrayed me, he had planned to use me as a sacrifice, but I used HIM as a sacrifice. I considered it self defense, so I had no regrets afterwards. Although his begging⊠Nothing worked for me. Humans were strange as I had a ritual for strengthening items, but not for opening Dungeon Boxes. Well, at least that ritual had worked often enough for me. I decided to finish spending my accumulated points.
[You have gained 7 Stamina points.]
[Stamina: F(34)]\n
That was not bad, and I used the remaining points to open two Silver Boxes.

After I returned, Yeonhee checked whether I was wounded, and except for a few bloodstains, I was the same.
âFocus on your own recovery.â
She had prepared a meal and heated up some canned goods. (EN: It was SPAM. ^_^ )
âItâs all right. The Revival Trait is working, and I can move now.â
I understood that, as the Trait enabled people to move when they were almost dead. While it did not alleviate pain, it was an amazing Trait. She would be able to go on fighting with her regeneration abilities. That suited an attacker more than a healer. While I had been matter-of-fact at Yeonheeâs Hate skill, both of us were going outside the box as hunters. We were not fixed on one role. I was a tanker and an attacker, and Yeonhee could both heal and attack. Have I known anyone like this?
I sat down when Yeonhee gave me two rings. One of them was the Rulerâs Ring, and she said the other had been the One-on-One second place quest reward.
[Ring of Flames (Item)
Effect: The ring shoots flames. Each monster the ring kills adds to the number of stored charges in the ring by 1. Maximum number of charges is 5.]\n[Class: E]
[Cooldown time: 5 minutes]
[Stored Charges: 0] (EN: I know, it doesnât seem to make sense. I think you can use the ring to shoot one flame every 5 minutes, and use the stored charges whenever you wish. Weâll see.)
I spoke as I wore both of them.

âYou did well. It is a good item.â
She would want to hear those words, and they were true. Yeonhee smiled brightly and grimaced right afterward. It seemed that her broken cheekbone gave her pain whenever she moved her face muscles.
âCan you eat?â
âIâm doing this to eat, arenât I?â
She was joking around and seemed to be in a good mood. I ate the first meal in days. We realized how hungry we had been after the first bite and continued to eat for a long time. We also ate cold canned goods, and Yeonheeâs eyes widened as the empty cans began to surround us. She looked a bit embarrassed.
âWeâre going to eat everything at this rate.â
âI think itâs ok. We will fish for food from now on.â
While we only had the boss fight left, we did not know how much further the end of this dungeon was yet.
âFishing?â
Yeonhee looked askance. She saw the weird creature a few days later. I brought a strange creature from a big pond near where I had killed the Middle Graf. It was not a dangerous monster as it did not give me points. We would have to think of this as a deep-sea creature instead of an alien if we wanted to eat it without being sickened.
\n[You have gained the âCollectorâ Trait as the first place reward.]
[Collector (Trait)]
[Effect: Lowers the probability of an item disappearing after reinforcement failure by little.]
[Class: F]
This was the first time I had seen a Trait like this, and while it was much better than what I would have normally gotten, I needed to think things over whether to keep it or not.
I opened the second box and hoped for something GOODâŠ
[You have gained âPhobia (Individual).]
[Phobia (Individual)]
[Effect: The subject becomes afraid of a person.]
[Class: F]

Was this a curse? However, Yeonhee did not seem to know I had gotten one. I signaled her to heal me. It was then I saw her looking at my rings with passionate eyes. She would be stupid not to know their value and she had actually worn the Rulerâs Ring. I also had seven other items, and Yeonhee had given me more than half of them. She may think she had been wronged, but she could not attack me as I was stronger than her.
Yeonhee had not gone through the Trial Tests yet, but humans were evil by nature. She would also be a threat, and I would need to remove her before she could betray me. Not now, butâŠ
