“Whew…”
Making a sight, Soo Hyuk scanned his surroundings .
‘This seems like the actual reward . ’
In the corner, there were three treasure cases .
‘At least there is a reward…’
Soo Hyuk was disappointed yet curious as he walked towards the cases .
‘I wonder what’s in them . ’
Soo Hyuk walked closer to the treasure cases with curiosity but paused shortly and then continued to walk again .
‘They’re pretty large . ’
The reason Soo Hyuk paused was due to the size of the treasure cases . The three treasure cases looked normal in the distance, but as he approached them, Soo Hyuk realized that they were massive .
‘They’re as tall as I am . ’
Soo Hyuk stood next to the cases and measured their height with his own .
‘They all have a slight difference . ’
The treasure case furthest to the left was the smallest and increased in size towards the right .
But there wasn’t a huge difference . The smallest case’s height was around Soo Hyuk’s eyes, and the largest case was the same height as Soo Hyuk .
‘Do I need to choose one out of the three?’
Thinking which to pick, Soo Hyuk furrowed his eyebrows .
‘Yes, that may be possible . Then just in case…’
Soo Hyuk finished his thoughts and decided to pick the largest treasure case . Just in case he was only allowed to pick one, Soo Hyuk chose the largest one .
Soo Hyuk opened the case and frowned .
‘It seems empty…’
The lid opened, but Soo Hyuk could not see anything on the top . Since the case was the same height as Soo Hyuk, he couldn’t see the bottom of the case . There was a possibility there was something at the bottom, so Soo Hyuk tipped his toes and checked inside .
‘A scroll?’
There was only one scroll sitting on the bottom of the case .
‘Fuc… . ’
Just as Soo Hyuk was about to curse, the scroll suddenly disappeared .
Because the treasures before disappeared in the same fashion, Soo Hyuk twitched after seeing the scroll do the same . However, seeing the new entry in the drop window, Soo Hyuk let out a sigh of relief .
‘It might be that the scroll automatically got acquired when I stared at it . ’
– Encrypted Map
‘So it wasn’t a scroll . ’
The drop window showed that the item was a map, and Soo Hyuk accepted it .
‘What kind of map is it to be sealed in such a large treasure case?’
‘And at least it seems that I can open the other cases too . ’
Soo Hyuk was expecting a notification or the cases to disappear after he opened a case, but since nothing happened, it seemed he was free to open the rest .
A map that points to the Great Thief Kelta’s secret location . Needs to be deciphered .
“Huh?”
Soo Hyuk’s eyes widened as he checked the map’s descriptions . It wasn’t because of the map’s rank, but because it pointed to the secret location .
That secret location is where the special quest ‘Kelta’s Legacy’ completion condition is and where the illusion of treasures that he saw before was stored .
‘This is awesome . ’
‘But it says it needs to be deciphered…’
The difficulty of deciphering depends on the rank of the item . What more is there to say about a legendary item?
‘But still…It doesn’t mean it’s not decipherable . ’
Thinking about the treasures he can obtain from the secret location, Soo Hyuk thought,

‘I’ll just need to take some time to decipher it . ’
Soo Hyuk wasn’t forced to decipher it right now, he had the freedom to do it later .
Deciding to decipher the map later, Soo Hyuk headed to the next case .
Arriving at the middle treasure case, Soo Hyuk’s expectations rose . The first item was a legendary rank item, so Soo Hyuk was expecting something in that rank .
Soo Hyuk reached out his hands to open the case, but a sudden shine emerged, so Soo Hyuk stopped and shut his eyes .
The shine lasted for a moment, and the item appeared in the drop window like the last item .
‘Wait…’
Soo Hyuk didn’t check the window because of what he saw the moment he opened the case .
‘I was sure I just saw…’
Soo Hyuk thought of what he just saw and slowly turned his head to the drop window .
– 100000 gold
‘Oh my…’
Soo Hyuk was surprised at what he saw .
‘It really was gold?’
Soo Hyuk clearly saw the glitter of gold when he opened the case, and he was correct .
‘ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand… 100 thousand…’
Checking the number of zeros, Soo Hyuk made a surprised face and accepted the money .
‘Since 1 gold is worth 100 won…’
The current market price for gold was 1:100 .
‘Wow… 10 million won?’
Calculating the price in won, Soo Hyuk mumbled .
‘With 10 million won…’
At that moment, a list of books passed Soo Hyuk’s min
‘How many antique books can I buy…’
Soo Hyuk dreamt of buying antique books but didn’t dare to because of the high price . Usually, he could only get one for his birthday, but he could buy a bunch with that money .

‘Let’s sell it . ’
Soo Hyuk made his decision .
‘Let’s sell it, then go buy some books . ’
Soo Hyuk decided not to buy antiques due to their high price . He would rather spend the money to get a larger quantity of books .
‘They’re a lot of new books recently…’
Lots of books were being published, and with that money, Soo Hyuk would be able to buy all of the newest releases .
Just thinking about being surrounded by a pile of books made Soo Hyuk grin . Keeping the grin on his face, Soo Hyuk accepted the gold and walked to the last case .
‘Now, I wonder what’s in this one . ’
The previous two cases were treasures that made Soo Hyuk surprised each time . Expecting the last case to do the same, Soo Hyuk opened the last one with eager eyes .
Soo Hyuk stared at the bottom of the case and then tilted his head .
‘A box?’
The box disappeared, and a notification popped in the drop window .
‘Why is it a box?’
Soo Hyuk opened the drop window and checked the item .
– The Great Thief Kelta’s Weapon Box .
‘A weapon box?’
Although Soo Hyuk got to know the name of the box, he still did not know what it did .
‘Is it a box that gives out weapons? Or maybe is it a box that contains the weapons Kelta used?’
Soo Hyuk accepted the item and checked the item’s descriptions .
A box that contains one of the many weapons Kelta stole . The rank of the weapon depends on the rank of the box . When activated, a weapon will be acquired .
“…”
Once again, Soo Hyuk was surprised and was lost for words .

The content of the box was obviously a weapon, but it wasn’t a weapon Kelta used, but a weapon that Kelta stole .
‘The weapon rank depends on the box’s rank . That means…A legendary weapon? This is crazy!’
‘This is the best one out of the three . ’
Although, if determined by the final reward, the map had a greater value out of the three items, the weapon box was the one that brought the greatest immediate value if sold .
‘But I don’t know what’s going to come out…’
Soo Hyuk wanted to sell the item box to exchange it for money, but unfortunately, it was unexchangeable .
It was impossible to know what kind of weapon would come out, but if it’s a meta weapon like a wand, sword, or bow, the price would be unbelievably high .
Soo Hyuk stood still wondering how much he could get if that was the case, but legendary items were never exchanged before . Therefore Soo Hyuk couldn’t grasp the price range .
‘But what should I do if a wand comes out? Should I just use it first and then sell it?’
Soo Hyuk was not wearing a good weapon, so he debated whether to sell the item or use it .
‘Let’s open the box first and then worry . ’
Casting his worries aside for later, Soo Hyuk pleaded,
‘Please give me a good one . ’
If the item was off-meta, then there was a chance the price wouldn’t be as high as he hoped for .
So Soo Hyuk pleaded for a good weapon with good stats as he opened the box .
[You have used The Great Thief Kelta’s Weapon Box . ]
[You have acquired Yarion’s Wrath . ]
As the box opened, a notification popped up . The name of the item was “Yarion’s Wrath . ”
‘What kind of weapon could this be?…!!!’
Checking the item in his inventory, Soo Hyuk’s eyes opened widely .
‘Oh my God!’
It may have been a relief or a regret that the item was not a wand, but at least it was a sword .
The exterior look of the item in the inventory was an elegant sword befitting of the legendary rank .
Although the looks were important, what’s even more important is the stats and options .
Soo Hyuk opened the item’s descriptions to check the options attached . As he read through the descriptions, Soo Hyuk opened his eyes widely once again in surprise .
