Pangeku: A place to relive

Chapter 2 (v2)

JOURNEY

28.

Demonic Black Scythe is a weapon that lingers for centuries. It doesn't have primary stats, rather, it replicates the user's stats. It chooses its owner in order to unlock its full potential. The Demonic Black Scythe does not settle for less, it consumes the wielder's life if it is not satisfied by the strength of the wielder.

"The Scythe suits Kane in my opinion" Akari said.

"Well he is now living up to the title Nightreaper" Reiko added.

"Let's test your new weapon!" Ryuu suggested.

"Hold on, let's run some test" Kyap intervened.

*Kane handed the Scythe to Kyap*

"Hmmm, it's weird, when I use my skill Item identifier while I'm holding it, the stats are mediocre but when Kane wields it, it shows 6 digit stats..." Kyap said.

"6 DIGITS?!" Akari, Ryuu, and Reiko reacted.

"It's way stronger than me! How is that even possible?" Ryuu questioned.

"Maybe that's an error?" Akari asked.

"I think it replicates my stats" Kane hypothesized.

"SO YOUR STATS ARE 6 DIGITS!?" Ryuu shockingly asked.

*Kane nodded*

"Kane is 10 fold stronger than us, I'm not even surprised to be honest" Reiko responded.

"That can explain why the stats change, it's an outstanding discovery HAHA! I should add this to my record, My book will contain the Demonic Black Scythe and the Adamant Sapphire! THIS WILL HELP THE INVENTORS IN OUR TOWN!" Kyap enthusiastically stated.

"We should test it to have further info!" Ryuu insisted.

"Kyap-san, do you have a fitting quest for us?" Akari asked.

"There's an A+ tier quest posted on the job order. I think that suits the scythe" Kyap said.

"What is the quest?" Reiko asked.

"It's about the haunted mansion on Lacreyn. Undead and Ghosts, live there. It is said that they lure strangers in and feast on them. There is also a rumor that a Demon's heart resides in that mansion, spawning ghosts and undead inside." Kyap explained.

"I think that's a bad idea..." Ryuu said.

"People in Lacreyn can send requests to other guilds? I thought townsfolk can only send requests to their respective guilds" Akari asked.

"Territorial takes place on the discussion. If the location of the request is inside the territory of Mechtown, the sender should post the job on Mechtown regardless where they are living. In Lacreyn's case, they can file a request anywhere because the villages there do not have a Guild. That is also the case for other villages or towns without a Guild." Kyap answered.

"I see, so that's how guilds work. That is actually systematic, if I want coal or minerals, I can just post a job order on a Guild that has mining on their territory, then collect and pay after." Reiko commented.

"Yeah, Let's just explore other caves" Ryuu intervened.

"We accept the quest on Lacreyn, Let's go" Kane said.

"OY OY OY! SERIOUSLY CAPTAIN?" Ryuu shouted.

"Still afraid of ghosts?" Reiko teased.

"Of course not!" Ryuu denies.

"That quest is actually good. It's near Mechtown, we can go back immediately, and it's the best place to test the Scythe I think" Akari mentioned

"Then it's settled, we'll head out" Kane said.

"BUT CAPTAAAAAIN!" Ryuu shouted.

The party wasted no time, they rode the wagon and Taurus pulled it to reach their destination. After some hours, they arrived at Lacreyn. The party observed the surroundings since they were not able to explore the place when they first visited.
