It was as usual, after my business in school was done I went down to my workshop to work on enchanted items while my drone worked on potions, I donned my boosted gear as usual but...


This can't be real.


The ground beneath my feet cracked as my dragon's aura ran wild.


"What the fuck is this ?"


I stared at the crimson gauntlet strapped to my hand in disbelief. This had to be a joke right? There was no way this was happening.


I dispelled the Boosted Gear and recalled it again.


"{BOOST!}"


My eyes twitched, again. I felt my power increase, yet...


I easily calculated it.


My stats had risen...


By 1.9x


I felt disbelief bubble up in my throat as I stared at the Boosted Gear. 10 seconds had passed.


"{BOOST!}"


"Heh... fuck me."


2.8x


"{BOOST!}"


3.7x


"{BOOST!}"


4.5x


"{BOOST!}"


5.2x


"{BOOST!}"


5.8x


"{BOOST!}"

"{BOOST!}"


6.7x "{BOOST!}" 6.9x "{BOOST!}" 7.1x "{BOOST!}" 7.2x "{BOOST!}" 7.3x " {BOOST!}" 7.4x "{BOOST!}" 7.5x


"What the... fuck? Ddraig, could you please explain before I lose my goddam mind?" A moment later Ddraig's voice sounded in my head.


{Well partner, I think that's called diminishing returns.} I know that, I went to college, I want to know why my Boosted Gear suddenly decided to crash out on me!


I heard Ddraig sigh.


{Partner, just check your status.}
