Chapter 28 : Way to Advance


    Around the glinting heap of loot and gleaming silver coins, Noah''s discerning eyes came to rest upon a clump of items that stirred both surprise and exhilaration within him.


    “Isn’t this…”


    Because among the treasures, nestled amidst the swords, armor pieces, and assorted trinkets, were several precious stones-like that radiated a warm, inviting hue.


    Yellow Crescent Diamonds.


    A jolt of astonishment coursed through him. These were no ordinary gems as they were ingredients that he coveted, the prime items that were required to unlock the first phase of the Weaver Class. Noah''s heart raced a bit as he considered the implications of this unexpected discovery.


    The Weaver Class was an unknown rarity class, with out of the box mastery within the game, offering high potentials and capabilities even at this early stage. To even embark on the journey to acquire this class was an endeavor that took him years of struggle.


    And now, he could scarcely believe his luck. When he was in the battle, he couldn''t really pay attention to the details of the loot that he had gotten. What was important was to get as many precious looking items as he could. Now that he finally was able to discern these particular items, it was time for him to be shocked.


    “Fortune truly had a knack for weaving together opportunities that mirrored the unpredictability of reality itself… Man that’s a mouthful,” Noah laughed out loud.


    The thing was that, these Yellow Crescent Diamonds had appeared as if summoned by fate itself!


    Just what is going on here?


    .... Was it really from the high luck attributes that I have?


    Noah shuddered a little just from thinking about this possibility. After all, that thinking was truly wild. Making him clash with a person that somehow had the item that he needed….


    “Or maybe it was not necessarily to make me clash with the owner of these gems, but to at the very least have some contact? But it’s all between players here. If it''s with me against NPC or monsters just like the previous one with that 3 Horns Bear, that would sincerely make sense. But this…”


    “Alright, I myself personally think that this is just a coincidence. That’s the conclusion that I can get from this for now. I mean like dang, what can I say…”


    Noah shook his head with a wry smile on his face. Luck attribute was really one of if not the most mysterious attributes that one could have after all. Attributes that worked on something that could not be seen or calculated just like the others in a transparent and straightforward manner.


    Especially when there are only a small group of people that have acquired Luck attributes, and that includes the players that are standing on the top of the food chain right…


    Still, these diamonds were symbols of progression, like some harbingers of evolution. They represented a gateway to new advancement, a step closer to the pinnacle of mastery in the case of the Weaver Class itself in particular.


    If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    Noah''s mind raced as he considered the ramifications of this discovery. The Weaver Class was very much absolutely top of the charts for its versatility, with its capacity to master various forms of combat and support. A class that seemingly transcended traditional boundaries just by looking at the skills set in it.


    So Noah was sure that it would take him a long time to even acquire the first requirement.


    Even up till now, he only had the opportunity to use one skill of Weaver Class, Warping Hollow only...


    He envisioned the moment when he would combine these gems with the other requisite ingredients, forging a pathway to the first phase of the Weaver Class. It was going to be a transformation that would grant him access to a plethora of abilities previously unattainable. So why did it seem to be so easy now…


    “...Not that I can complain. In fact, make it easier please…”


    As he inspected the items, a detailed status description emerged, revealing the attributes contained within these precious gems.

    ...


    As Noah looked over the wealth of attributes contained within these Yellow Crescent Diamonds, he couldn''t help but be shocked.


    The concept of class advancement held a tantalizing allure. The notion that these gems could facilitate one''s progression toward mastery in an advanced class was a prospect that ignited his imagination.


    The inherent synergy with light magic and the ability to enhance one''s combat capabilities were assets that could tip the scales in one''s favor during battles. With their radiant light and inherent magic, they offered a powerful boost and buff that could easily overwhelm the opponent.


    The resplendent fortune they offered was a reminder that luck itself might align with his path, favoring him with more bountiful rewards...


    In the midst of the chaotic battles and fervent quests, Noah understood that these Yellow Crescent Diamonds were a treasure hard to compare, especially for the rookie leveled players.


    With a satisfied smile, Noah carefully secured the gems among his possessions.


    "That’s why people love violence... oh dang."


    It became increasingly apparent about Onyxium''s vehement resistance during their last battle, because these Yellow Crescent Diamonds were most likely dropped from that guy.


    It was not merely Onyxium''s prestige or his guild''s honor that fueled his panic of getting killed it seemed now. It was the fear of relinquishing such items…


    It was easy to understand why Onyxium fought with such tenacity. In a realm where power was the currency that drove players forward, the abilities of these gems held were obvious. They represented not only the prospect of class advancement but also items that could buff skills and such.


    "Well, I guess that’s it for now…" Noah sighed, snapping his inventory shut and gazing into the distance. It was because he remembered that he had an appointment today.
