Chapter 16 - Robe of darkness

[ Congratulations ! First time killing a monster at the high hierarchy : Lord . ]

[ Reward : 25 potential . ]

Sam landed on his bed again , but this time wasn't the same as last . He had smile on his face , as well as a robe on his body .

[ Robe of Darkness ]

[ Intermediate Tier Magician Robe ]

[ A robe that was created with the purest dark silk by one of the most skilled tailors . ]

[ Effects :

• + 50% darkness mastery

• + 100% Defense

• + 50% Energy regeneration

• - 70% presence

• Small spatial pocket in the sleeves ]

[ This robe is enchanted with Auto-clean , auto-repair and will change to fit the user . ]

' This is fucking OP ' Sam thought ' Why the fuck is this simply intermediate .'

[ Elementary robes have a maximum of 3 ' options ' , as you'd like to call them , intermediate have a maximum of 5 , supreme have a maximum of 7 and master have a maximum of 10 . ]

' How does the darkness mastery work ? ' He asked .

[ You will get 150% your usual mastery at the same place as you got 100% before . ]

[ ...

' ShhShhShhh ... I understand the rest .' He said in his mind then said " Pain pain pain . For the love of god , 12:18 pain . "

The world seemed to be shaking harder every week Sam went to the colosseum .

This Wednesday , there was news for each and every awakened and that was related to their survival too .

The announcement was as follows :

" The monsters have nobles too . The spirit which is hosting the punishment for the ' Cheater ' Sam allowed the humans present to learn of stronger monsters : Nobles , Lords , Great Lords , Kings , Emperors and most importantly , as per him , ' And so on ' ."

The articles were left there for a few hours before the next update came , which simply said .

" 10^( rank number ) "

This may be a simple math equation to some , but those who understood were shaken to their core . If what this meant was true , then there were monsters that can be millions of times stronger than them at the same level .

Some were happy because they learnt of this before they left the planet , others were scared because they almost lost the strength in their legs because of the news .

The same night another news was released :

" Sam , who is currently known around the world as the ' Cheater ' cheated death . This time , Sam was given the chance to bet his life for was is suspected to be a high class item for mages , however , even level 9 mages are scared of him after knowing the fact that he can summon a deck of cards which allows him to use supposedly 13 elements at his will as long he has the energy for it . It is suspected that as long as he has that deck , which contains the usual 54 cards , he can use each of his magic 4 times , except the king and the joker which he hasn't shown yet . "

All those who had designs on the robe instantly shied away . A magic user's biggest weakness was his inability to fight when he is casting spells . But this Sam can directly avoid casting by using that deck which allows him to use his magic over and over again without the use of any energy .

Even later during the night , another new was released containing the insight of all the magic users present during the fight . They had all gathered and speculated his magics .

9 of his magic had been revealed to the public , including their elements . The ones they didn't know weren't named , but the list was as follows :

• Fireball

• Waterball

• Wind ball

• Earth ball

• Curses

• Light ball

• Lightning ball

• Ice ball

• Space magic

This arsenal was already mighty , and if played right , Sam could definitely flatten countries .

However , according to his report , he had no designs on this world , which was about to be destroyed , and definitely had more knowledge about outside than any of them .

After 8 , well 6 hours of mind numbing pain , and another 6 of meditation which completely maxed his attributes , Sam finally ate something .

He had already reached level 5 on war body with a few 1000 experience into level 6 . Unfortunately , unlike Restoration , war body did not change . It was the same as ever . All Sam had to do was feel this pain . Well one good thing that happened was that war body now reduces mental pain to but by calculating the limit , it would be 50% . Sam felt that even that was better .

Anything that improves is good for him .

He quickly put on the Robe Of Darkness , which automatically shrunk down to fit him perfectly . It even had a hoodie , which Sam quickly put on his head and when he looked into the mirror , he wasn't even able to see his own face , no matter how he looked .

[ It has the hidden feature of hiding your features as long as you cover your head . This robe is already half step into supreme robes . ]

Sam understood it meant that just some more improvements and he'll have a supreme robe , but he quickly calmed himself down .

' Ready for another 6 hours of focussing on the darkness element ? ' He thought as he sat in a meditative pose and closed his eyes .

[ ETA : 18 days : 13 hours : 47 minutes ]
